Chapter 473: They Will Definitely Go Out of the City
Pressing the hilt of the long sword at his waist, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and his eyes looked coldly and coldly without any emotion at the more than ten assassins who were driven into the prison hall by the dragoon guards.
The Assassins were still dressed in dark clothes, but they were not as black and shiny as they had been the night before.
Each of them had clumps of blood on their clothes. The blood stains had dried up, curdling into a quick scab on the Assassins' shirts. The scab rubbed against the Assassins' wounds, slowing them down and even putting them at risk of infection. Every time they moved their bodies, the sharp pain of the wound being rubbed against the hard scab would make them gasp.
Pushing more than a dozen bloodstained assassins into the hall, several dragoon guards set their eyes on Liu Wei.
Liu Wei didn't look at the dragoon guards, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes stared at the assassins who were pulled out by the dragoon guards and collapsed in the hall one by one.
Looking at this group of assassins, Liu Wei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart. The group of assassins were all burly and fierce, and several of them had torn cuffs of their deep coats and showed their knotted muscles.
Although their arms were covered in black and red blood, this did not affect the appearance of their toned arms.
Such a strong assassin had only endured a whole night of torture to become like this, and Wei Ming, the dragoon who was not present, said that Liu Wei already knew what kind of torture these people had suffered.
"Who sent you?" He looked at the more than ten men coldly, and after a long silence, Liu Wei finally spoke, his voice was very cold, cold like a cold wind pouring into the prison, and the huge prison was almost frozen and frozen by this cold wind.
More than a dozen captured assassins trembled when they heard Liu Wei speak, and they could even clearly hear the "gurgling" sound of their teeth chattering in the cell.
"Your Highness is asking you to wait, hurry up and reply!" While the captured Assassins were still trembling, one of the Dragoon Guards shouted at them, stepped forward, and kicked one of the Assassins in the back of the head.
The dragoon's feet rested on the back of the Assassin's head before he exerted his strength suddenly. The back of the Assassin's head was not directly kicked hard, but under the force of the back of his head, his upper body slammed forward, and his forehead slammed into the hard ground, and he was instantly knocked unconscious.
"I don't know!" The assassin fainted when he was knocked to the ground by the head kicked by the dragoon, and another assassin on the side, frightened, hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying and shouting to Liu Wei, "We are a ranger hired by a purple-skinned man......
The Assassin's body was inconvenient due to the torture, and his kneeling position was not much different from that of his stomach.
"Your Highness is here, and you are not honest!" Before the Assassin could finish his shout, one of the dragoons let out a loud shout and sprang at him.
"Wait!" Just as the dragoon's feet were about to step on the back of the crying assassin, Liu Wei whispered to the dragoon: "This man is not lying!" ”
Liu Wei opened his mouth to speak, and the dragoon's already raised feet hovered in mid-air, and then slowly put it down and retreated to the side. However, his eyes were still glaring viciously at the assassin lying on the ground.
Just listening to the assassin's words, Liu Wei knew that he was not lying, which made everyone present feel full of puzzlement, even the group of captured assassins who were paralyzed on the ground struggled to raise their faces and looked at Liu Wei with stunned faces.
When looking at Liu Wei, although these assassins were still trembling one by one, there was a little more hope for life in their expressions.
"A way to live, a way to die!" Looking at the more than a dozen tortured assassins who were almost inhuman, Liu Wei asked them in a very indifferent tone: "Which one are you waiting to choose?" ”
"I'll choose to live!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, more than a dozen assassins immediately responded without holding their mouths.
"Good!" The corners of his mouth finally pulled up a faint smile, and Liu Wei then said to the more than ten assassins: "If this king's expectation is not bad, that purple-skinned man, even if he doesn't leave the city today, he will definitely escape from the city tomorrow." Divide you into several groups, stand guard at the gates, and identify him as soon as you find him! If you recognize the Lord, you will avoid death, but if you let that person escape......"
At this point, Liu Wei smiled again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and from his narrowed eyes, a cold cold glow flashed, and he snorted coldly and said a cold word to the group of assassins: "Die!" ”
When the word "death" came out of Liu Wei's mouth, all the assassins were shocked again. The glimmer of hope for survival that has just been born is like a fire that has just burst out and has not yet formed a momentum, being extinguished by a basin of cold water.
"Take them to wash and change into dry clothes!" In order to survive, the assassins hurriedly agreed to Liu Bian's request, and Liu Bian explained to several dragoons in the prison, turned around and walked towards the stairs without looking back, and went up two steps, Liu Wei suddenly stopped again, looked up at the stairs and dropped a sentence lightly: "Wash and clean, help them change into the clothes and armor of the soldiers guarding the city, and immediately take them to the city gate to recognize people!" There must be no delay! ”
"No!" Several dragoon guards bowed in unison with their fists in response, and watched Liu Wei lead Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to step up the stairs and leave the cell.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the hut, Liu Wei stood outside the door of the hut and took a deep breath.
The air in the prison was too turbid, and the turbid breath made him feel a burst of suffocation in his chest, and when he got outside, he took a deep breath of fresh air, and Liu Wei felt that his chest was much more comfortable.
"General Gao!" Taking a breath of fresh air, Liu Wei strode towards the prison gate, and as he walked, he said to Gao Shun who was following him: "The army has already set out, and tomorrow you will take over the two guards of Yulin and Huben and assume the responsibility of training them." This king wants to know Lu Dao, before we leave the city, can General Gao have the confidence to train Yulin and Huben to become two guards? ”
"Back to Your Highness!" Following behind Liu Bian, Gao Shun walked forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Liu Bian: "Time is too short, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Hmm!" Without waiting for Gao Shun to finish speaking, Liu Wei, who had already stepped out of the prison gate with one foot, stopped, turned to face Gao Shun, and said to him very earnestly: "The general only needs to do his best, and he will practice to whatever extent!" When our army breaks through Gongsun Zan and we return to Luoyang, Yulin and Huben will be handed over to the general for training! ”
"The last general will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!" Hearing the endless trust in Liu Wei's tone, Gao Shun's heart warmed, and he hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down deeply, and responded with sincere fear.
Smiling at Gao Shun and raising his hand to him, Liu Wei didn't say anything more, and walked out of the prison gate with his feet.
More than an hour later, the people of Dangcheng, who had recovered from the shock of the Luoyang army's expedition, took to the streets one after another, living the days they were accustomed to.
Although there is a war going on in the area of Youzhou at the moment, during the interval when the war stops, the people inside and outside the city still have some business contacts, and when there is no enemy army outside the city, the city gate will also be opened to facilitate the people to enter and exit.
However, in the midst of the war, although some people need to travel between inside and outside the city in order to make a living, more people can not go into the city without leaving the city, so they will try not to linger at the city gate, for fear that if one is not good, they will get angry. It is precisely because of this that there are not many people coming and going at the gate of the city.
On the bluestone-paved street, a carriage with a pure black box and two strong horses slowly drove towards the city gate.
The wheels of the carriage rolled on the bluestone pavement, making a "clacking" sound. With each sound of the wheel, the people sitting in the carriage clenched their fists tighter.
I don't know if it was because he was too nervous, this person's nails had already dug into his palm, but he didn't realize it, and he only hoped that the carriage would leave the gate of the city as soon as possible.
The more you look forward to something, the more twists and turns it will be when it happens. The carriage had only reached a place seven or eight steps away from the city gate, when a Toucheng Jizhou soldier guarding the city gate walked from the side to the middle of the city gate, raised an arm, and made a stop gesture to the carriage.
Seeing that there were soldiers in front of him, the chariot did not dare to break in, so he hurriedly grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage.
"Who's out of town?" When the carriage stopped, the soldier who was blocking the way first looked at Mite, suspiciously, and then walked to the carriage of the carriage, and while asking the Mite, he reached out to pull the door.
"My husband is a foreign merchant!" The carriage was stopped by the soldiers, and the royal hand who drove the car was already nervous with cold sweat on his forehead, and when he saw the soldier stretching out his hand to the car door, he hurriedly tilted his body, looked back at the soldier and said: "Earlier, the villain entered the city with Mr. to do some business, because the army besieged the city and delayed the time to leave, today is to return to his hometown......"
"Merchant?" The soldier, who had already grasped the door of the car with one hand, listened to Mite's explanation, first sneered, and then said to the Mite: "Since you are a merchant, why don't you see the goods?" Even if there is no goods, you must always see some wealth and copper coins......"
While the soldier was talking, the door of the carriage suddenly moved.
The soldier, who had no idea that the door would open on its own, was taken aback, and the moment the door opened, he hurriedly jumped back, holding the short spear in one hand and the shield in the other, blocking the shield in front of him, and looking at the open door vigilantly.
As soon as the soldier retreated, several soldiers guarding the city gate rushed up and surrounded the carriage.
"Huang Fu!" The door opened, and a calm and calm voice came from the carriage: "Get some wine money for all the military masters!" ”
"No!" As soon as the people in the carriage finished speaking, the driver jumped out of the carriage, walked to the door, and took a handful of copper coins from the man sitting in the carriage.
Holding a handful of copper coins, Huang Fu stuffed the copper coins into the hands of the soldiers who were the first to block the carriage, with a smile on his face, and said to the soldier: "My husband is a foreigner, it is not easy to go out, it has been a long time since he left home, and he is also thinking about his home. ”
Taking the copper coin presented by Huang Fu, the soldier put the copper coin in his hand, gently checked it, a smile appeared on his face, and said to the royal hand: "The soldiers are in chaos, and the merchants are running around to make a living, which is really not easy. Your husband is not a very bad person, but I am waiting to guard the city gate, and it is not a normal day now, dare to ask Mr. to get out of the car and walk, and stay until he gets out of this city gate, Mr. just takes care of himself, even if there are some things, it has nothing to do with us! ”
When the soldier said this, Huang Fu was stunned with an entangled face, and subconsciously glanced back at the carriage door.
The person sitting in the carriage obviously also heard the soldier's words, he was silent for a moment, and then said in a calm tone: "The military master is already accommodating, if you don't get off the train, you can't talk about it......"
Before the words could be spoken, a man emerged from the carriage.
This person was wearing a crimson dress, and his figure was very burly, especially his purple skin, which matched the color of the costume, and the color was similar, which actually complemented each other a little.
Leaning out of the carriage door with both hands, the man looked around at the soldiers outside the carriage, and saw that there was no abnormality on the faces of the soldiers, so he stepped into the carriage.
