Run!

When the gunshots rang out, the surrounding people, who were still watching the excitement, suddenly scattered in all directions.

Even the Qinglou girl paper leaning against the railing on the opposite side ran away at this time.

Those officials also looked frightened and avoided at this time.

And at this moment, except for the soldiers brought by Chen Xiuchang, there are basically no people on the streets all day.

After all, it's not stupid to watch the excitement, and it's not good if you are shot by the lead shot of the fire gun.

One of the four old men in the charge fell to the ground.

Fortunately, there was an order from the official before, saying that he could only shoot in the leg, otherwise the old man would be a cold corpse now.

The muskets of the Song Empire were no joke, and they far surpassed the muskets of the Eastern and Western countries of the same era, both in terms of accuracy and lethality.

Fast! Fast!

The old man who fell to the ground was dragged down by his companions who ran up from behind.

The other three veteran soldiers continued to rush forward regardless of it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Then three more gunshots rang out.

The three old soldiers followed in the footsteps of the companion just now.

However, the three old soldiers did not worry about their lives, thanks to the pirates in the tavern.

Chen Xiuchang, who was watching the battle from the rear, also saw that the people in the tavern obviously didn't want to kill people, otherwise the three lead shots just now would not have been shot in the legs, but in other places.

Therefore, in the hearts of the hundred households, they have a little good impression of the affairs officer in the tavern. After all, it was precisely because of the mercy of their subordinates that they did not let their subordinates have a life.

Although these four old soldiers are very old, none of them have a family.

It's going to be the New Year, if something goes wrong at this time, can you let the families of the four of them survive this year?

Even if they sent money to each of their families, it would not make up for the pain of losing their families.

It was precisely when he thought of this that Chen Xiuchang was secretly grateful in his heart.

"Tell the brothers. Try to catch it alive. Don't hurt each other, people have already saved face for us, so we have to think about it. ”

Although the clerks in the tavern are already regarded as pirates.

But such an identity is nothing to Hundred Households Chen Xiuchang.

When he was young in Liaodong, Chen Xiuchang was still a brother and brother to the horse thief.

Compared with the people in the officialdom who pour into each other's darkness, they are very slender and are more willing to deal with these charlatans.

It is precisely because he saw through the deceit of officialdom and offended people in Liaodong that he was placed in this poor guard house on the outskirts of Yangzhou to be a hundred households.

Otherwise, with his exploits in Liaodong. How can he be a general who commands thousands of troops in a hospital now?

And his credit has long been placed on the son of a court official, and he is now soaring, on the other hand, he Chen Xiuchang will spend the second half of his life here in Yangzhou.

But in any case, Chen Xiuchang is also an outlier.

After hearing this, the cronies quickly conveyed Chen Xiuchang's meaning.

Then, someone on the street shouted at the top of his voice: "My lord has an order, catch it alive!" ”

Although this order was a bit of a complaint, the soldiers still took it to heart.

The soldiers who attacked at this time. They had rushed to the edge of the tavern, and had begun to see the clerk through the clutter and obstacles.

The clerk put the saber on his waist in his hand, and looked nervously at the soldiers of the hundred households who were approaching step by step.

The other four soldiers also lost their muskets, which had already been fired once. He took all his knives in his hands and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

Those Ming Dynasty guards, if they want to attack in, then the first thing they have to do is to clear the obstacles. Only after clearing those obstacles can you enter the tavern without any problems.

And they want to clear the obstacles. Obviously, this is not something that will be smooth sailing.

The clerk and the four Gene Man soldiers, they're sure to come up and cause them a little bit of trouble.

It was also in consideration of the possibility of a short-handed encounter, so the surrounding was already close to the tavern. The guards who were only one step away from the obstacle became cautious.

The knife will hurt very much when it looks at the body, and it will even kill people.

Although these soldiers in the guard station are much stronger than the officials, they are not the kind of people who don't want to die.

If they can still guarantee their lives while catching these pirates, then why shouldn't they do it?

"Formation!"

With the command of a small team, the soldiers of the guard quickly formed a small formation of four people.

"Push it up!"

Hey! Hey! Hey!

The clerk clenched the saber in his hand, and a few beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

You can be merciful just now, but once it is hand-to-hand combat, it is difficult to say.

Because no one dares to guarantee that everyone will play a real fire during hand-to-hand combat, and they will be able to keep a cold hand without killing them.

The people who were hiding on both sides of the street bared their heads one by one and looked this way.

Although everyone knew that the Dao was very dangerous now, they just couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts.

Oriental people have always liked to watch.

This was especially true during the Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century.

There is no entertainment in normal times, and there is a lack of fun.

So, like what's happening right now, that's definitely their favorite.

After this is over, it will probably be able to become a good talking point for them within a year, and bring some new things to their chats and braggarts.

The soldiers of the guard station, armed with knives, had already approached the edge of the debris barrier, and they only had to stretch out their hands to start clearing the debris obstacle.

And as long as they stretch out their hands, then the affairs officers in the tavern will inevitably start to engage these guards.

At this critical moment, at the end of the street, which had become silent, there was a burst of running.

Judging by the chaotic sound of running, it seems that there are quite a few people running towards this direction.

Hey!

Could it be that the prefect also found help from other places?

The first reaction flashed in the mind of the hundred households Chen Xiuchang.

But he quickly disproved this suspicion, because the answer was already in his sight.

The strength of the street, a group of people running over in the dark.

Starter. It was a few men on healthy horses, and the knights' costumes looked strangely luxurious.

And the healthy horses under their crotches knew at a glance that they were absolutely good horses, but they were not comparable to Chen Xiuchang's old horse.

At the same time, behind the strangely dressed knights, there were several people who also wore stunner armor and horses.

Wolver?

Chen Slender's brow furrowed.

Seriously, he has some of a hate for the Japanese people.

However, it is clear that this team should not belong to the Wa Kingdom, because there are no people wearing such costumes on the Wa Guo side.

In the center of the procession, a large flag fluttered in the wind.

This flag has a big red background and a strange pattern of one large, four small and five yellow on the flag.

Chen Xiu looked at it for a while, and he didn't know where the banner was.

However, Chen Xiuchang also determined one thing at this time. That is, this team is definitely not the team of the Ming Dynasty.

The speed of this team was very fast, that is, it took more than a minute to rush to Chen Xiuchang's side.

The soldiers, who were preparing to attack the tavern, were interrupted by the sudden arrival of the team. It is precisely because of this relationship that the conflict has not yet occurred.

Unlike the puzzled Chen Xiuchang and the other guards of the guard, the genetic soldiers standing at the window in the tavern saw the banner of that team, and their faces showed joy.

"My lord, it's our men and horses here. Look, I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Mr. Wang, who was sitting in the corner, heard this. The look was incredulous.

He could never have imagined that the crown prince would really come to this place to save them in such a noble capacity.

Oh, my God!

This would never have happened in the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpected, really unexpected.

People like my master. There are people who care like this.

I think I've lived in a daze for so many years, like an ant, how can I ever be so cared for.

It was here in the Song Empire that I felt like I was living alone.

I'm in my heart. Why is it so warm, why can't the tears be stopped.

The clerk and the four genetic soldiers didn't see the prince sitting in the corner. His tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

In fact, Master Wang was also wrong, and Zhao Hongyu didn't just care about him alone, but also another affairs officer and four genetic soldiers.

If Wang Fuzi was alone, then Zhao Hongyu would not have made such a big battle at all.

"Who is the old man! Stop! ”

Before the team could get close to the tavern, a guard soldier who had been signaled by Chen Xiuchang walked to the middle of the road, stopping Zhao Hongyu's entire team from moving forward.

"Why do you Ming people besiege our envoys! Is this the hospitality of your Ming Dynasty? ”

What?

Princes?

The envoy of that country?

Besides, we are not surrounded by foreign envoys, but by pirates.

Is it a mistake on the part of the other party?

"You are ......", the soldier standing in the middle of the road blocking the advance of the group, at this time he didn't know how to answer. He was just a small soldier, and he didn't know how to deal with such a thing.

"Seeing that he is not a person of high status, don't embarrass him. I see there's an officer over there, so I'm going to talk to the officer over there. ”

At this time, Zhao Hongyu walked out of his horse and said to the Praetorian Guard soldiers who opened the way in front.

"Yes! Your Highness! ”

"Get out of the way, you can't handle this?"

"Your Highness, we are here! If you're a little late, we'll all have to explain it here! The clerk in the tavern shouted at this time.

Chen Xiuchang's mind is also a little confused now.

Envoys, Haikou, what's going on! (To be continued......)
