Chapter 215: Purging the County Government
Liu Wei led into the city and the personal soldiers who had followed Guan Qing into the city earlier gathered in one place, and more than 100 people were scattered in all corners of the backyard of the county government.
In the dark shadow under the root of the wall of the outer courtyard, Liu Wei, who had already changed into a set of dark clothes and had a yellow scarf wrapped around his head, covered the mouth of a yellow turban soldier with one hand, and held a short sword that had just crossed the neck of the yellow turban soldier and was still dripping with blood with the other, gently lowered the body of the yellow turban soldier to the ground, and then waved his hand at Guan Qing, who was hiding under the root of the wall not far away.
Seeing Liu Wei waving his hand, Guan Qing turned his head and beckoned to the pro-soldiers in the backyard, and a group of pro-soldiers immediately touched the outer courtyard lightly.
"Twenty-seven!" After a while, the "Yellow Turban Soldiers" who were equal to the number of corpses dragged into the backyard walked out of the backyard and stood in the position where the group of Yellow Turban soldiers who were eliminated by Liu Wei and Guan Qing were standing earlier.
"There are more people in the house!" Turning his head to look at the pro-soldiers who had just changed into the clothes of the Yellow Turban soldiers and had already stood up, Liu Wei muttered to a house in the outer courtyard, and said in a low voice to Guan Qing who rubbed his waist beside him: "The yellow scarves in the county government must be killed, everyone must change into yellow scarf clothes, and win the most time, so that we can successfully break away from Lu County." ”
Staring at a row of houses not far away, Guan Qing didn't speak, just nodded silently.
He waved his hand to the officers and soldiers who had changed into the Yellow Turban Army clothes and were already in their positions, signaling them to all guard their positions and not to move.
Liu Wei jumped out, Guan Qing held a short sword in one hand, and also followed behind him, and jumped to the hut where the Yellow Turban Army slept in the county government.
Running to the corner of the hut, Liu Wei leaned against the wall, holding his breath and listening quietly to the movement in the house.
In the room behind him, there were thunderous snorts, interspersed with a few coughs.
There was a coughing sound in the room, indicating that the Yellow Turban Army inside was not all asleep, Liu Weichao just ran to the side, and Guan Qing, who was also leaning against the wall, waved his hand, signaling her to change rooms.
With his back against the wall, he rubbed lightly against the door of another room. Liu Wei first waved his hand at Guan Qing to tell her not to be anxious, and then listened to the sound in the room for a while.
In this room, there was only the sound of snoring one after another, and nothing else.
After lying dormant at the door and listening for a while, to make sure that everyone in the house was asleep, Liu Wei glanced back at Guan Qing, nodded at her, flashed, and entered the room.
The room was dark, almost so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
tiptoed into the room with Liu Bian, Guan Qing only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she couldn't see the layout of the room at all, and in the case of no way to determine the sleeping position of the Yellow Turban Army, the only thing she could do was to stand by the door, and let her eyes slowly adapt to the darkness.
Unlike Guan Qing, when he entered the house, Liu Wei first closed his eyes and adapted to it for a while, and only when he got used to the darkness in front of him did he turn his head and look around the room.
Although it has been used to some things, in order for the human eye to see the scenery clearly, the light must meet certain conditions. The room he was in was extremely dimly lit, and he could only vaguely distinguish that there was a cover, but he couldn't see whether there were people lying on it.
Looking back at the outside of the house, because the room was too dark, the night outside seemed to be suddenly much brighter, and Liu Wei, a pro-soldier wearing a yellow turban military shirt and guarding in the distance, could see it clearly, and Guan Qing, who was standing behind him, was like a stake, and he didn't even dare to move more.
In such a dark environment, the eyes lost most of their functions, and all Liu Wei could do was to rely on his hearing to identify the location of the sleeping Yellow Turban Army.
From then on, the snoring sound could be heard, and there were at least ten or more Yellow Turban soldiers sleeping in this room. Carefully distinguishing the different snoring timbres, Liu Wei lightly touched the root of the wall on the left.
Standing in the house, Guan Qing, who couldn't see the situation in the house at all, could only look at the place standing near the door in a daze.
Just when she didn't know how to find the Yellow Turban Soldier to make a move, with a soft sound of "snort", a strong smell of blood suddenly spread in the room.
The light sound of the blade cutting through the skin had just passed, and before Guan Qing could come back to her senses, she heard a muffled snort again, and the bloody aura became much thicker.
The second muffled grunt was very low, and the person who made the muffled grunt must have had his mouth covered.
Liu Wei had already begun to do it, as more and more Yellow Turban soldiers were secretly slaughtered by him, the original snoring in the house was becoming less and less, but the bloody atmosphere was thicker.
After a while, the purring at the back of the house stopped abruptly, and a black shadow jumped towards Guan Qing.
Seeing the black shadow popping out of it, Guan Qing didn't raise her sword to stop it, she knew that it was Liu Wei who had just solved the whole room of Yellow Turban soldiers who was rushing towards her.
Arriving at the door of the room, Liu Wei waved his arm a few times outside. Several pro-soldiers immediately moved quickly towards the room, while Liu Wei led Guan Qing and touched the next room.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and after more than half an hour, Liu Wei and Guan Qing finally finished solving the Yellow Turban Army left behind in the front yard of the county government, and when the two people covered in blood came out of the last room, more than 100 pro-soldiers also changed into the clothes of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Miss Guan, in the past, when the Yellow Turban Army was stationed in the city, how many teams were sent to patrol?" Standing in the front yard of the county government, Liu Wei first looked around at the more than 100 pro-soldiers in front of him, then turned his head to look at Guan Qing, lowered his voice and asked her.
"A team of twenty!" Guan Qing, who was very familiar with the Yellow Turban Army, didn't think about it, so he said to Liu Wei: "There will be two teams of people patrolling each street......
"Two teams of people, there are still people in ambush in the houses on the street!" Liu Wei furrowed his brows tightly, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and said to Guan Qing and more than 100 pro-soldiers: "The Yellow Turban thieves must have arranged a lot of eyeliner under the outer wall of the backyard, and as for the front yard, there must also be eyeliner in the house facing the main gate of the county government. Once we leave the main entrance, we will be spotted by the eyeliner. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the courtyard wall in the front yard, and then whispered to everyone: "This king and Miss Guan led a team of people to climb over the wall from the front yard first, and wait for me to solve the Yellow Turban soldiers outside, and then the rest of the people will climb over the wall and leave the county government!" ”
"Your Highness, it's just a few yellow turbans, I'll go and ......" to solve the Yellow Turban Army in the county government, Liu Wei has forced all the pro-soldiers not to do it, and he will solve it with his own hands, and now he wants to climb over the wall and leave here, he still has to take the lead in person, and the pro-soldiers are unwilling, and a pro-soldier officer lowered his voice and put forward a request to take the lead.
"This king has made up his mind, don't wait until you say it!" Without waiting for the officer to finish speaking, Liu Wei raised his arm, made a silent gesture to him, and said to more than 100 personal soldiers: "This king once escaped from Luoyang single-handedly, and knows how to escape from the city, you just have to obey the order!" ”
More than 100 pro-soldiers glanced at each other, and a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces. They came here to protect Liu Bian, but now it seems that Liu Bian is opening the way for them and helping them find a glimmer of life.
"Let's go!" Stabilizing this group of pro-soldiers, Liu Wei beckoned to Guan Qing and more than a dozen pro-soldiers, and quickly ran towards the wall.
When he got to the base of the wall, he didn't jump up to the wall immediately, but put his ear to the wall, hoping to hear the movement outside the wall.
Outside the walls was silent, not even the slightest sound. After listening with his ears against the wall for a while, and making sure that there was no one at the root of the wall outside the courtyard wall, Liu Biancai beckoned to Guan Qing and the others who were following him, jumped up and jumped towards the wall, and grabbed the wall with ten fingers.
Tightening the wall, Liu Wei slammed his arms and jumped up with a "whoosh".
As soon as he jumped up to the wall, Guan Qing and the others also jumped up after him, squatting on the wall one by one and looking down.
At the foot of the wall, it was dark, and squatting on the top of the wall, I could only see the bluestone-paved street not far away, glowing a little blue and white in the night.
On the blue and white street, every ten or so steps, there is a Yellow Turban Army on duty at night. Squatting on the wall and observing carefully for a while, Liu Wei did not find that the team patrolling at night as Guan Qing said, and the streets were full of open posts and secret posts of the Yellow Turban Army, which made it very difficult for them to leave Lu County.
Beckoning to Guan Qing who was squatting on the wall and more than a dozen pro-soldiers, Liu Wei turned around, first hung one leg outside the wall, and waited until his hands pressed the wall before hanging the other leg down.
Looking up at the starry night sky, Liu Wei took a deep breath, and slowly lowered his body to the wall with the strength of his arm, and waited until his two arms were completely straightened, he looked down at his feet, made sure that it was a field under his feet, and then let go of his hand and fell to the ground.
More than a dozen people on the wall followed his example and jumped out of the courtyard wall one after another, and when they landed, their feet stepped on the ground, making more than a dozen subtle soft sounds.
The sound is not very loud, if it is in the daytime, a sound like this will not be noticed, but now it is nighttime, although the Yellow Turban Army is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry on the street, but the surroundings are still quiet, except for the sound of insects in the grass, there is no other sound.
On the street closer to the wall, the two Yellow Turban soldiers vaguely heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, glanced at each other, slowly approached each other, and walked side by side towards the courtyard wall of the county government with short spears.
Jumping off the courtyard wall, Liu Wei and the others immediately lay on the ground, looking at the Yellow Turban Army on the street. Seeing the two Yellow Turban soldiers leaning towards the courtyard wall, Liu Wei pulled out his short sword, turned his head and made a gesture to Guan Qing who was lying on the side.
Guan Qing nodded, and slowly pulled out the short sword, staring at the two Yellow Turban soldiers who were approaching them with a pair of beautiful but murderous eyes.
The two Yellow Turban soldiers were getting closer and closer, and Liu Wei and the others, who were lying on the ground, could clearly hear the rustle of their feet on the ground.
It was dark under the corner of the wall, and although the two Yellow Turban soldiers who walked towards the root of the wall had their eyes wide and wanted to see what was making the noise just now, the darkness gave Liu Wei and the others the best cover, so that although the two Yellow Turban soldiers had already walked only six or seven steps away from Liu Wei and the others, they had not yet found their traces.
