Chapter 30: The Little Follower
When a group of people from the Southern Barbarians beat those servants to the ground and begged for mercy, not far away, a large number of troops rushed in.
Since the Ethereal Palace was exterminated, Emperor Yan Jiuyang sent 10,000 troops to Langxi County, which were distributed in various throat roads of Langxi County, for fear that after the war, someone would take the opportunity to disturb the people and rebel! And this Fengxian Village is also an important location, with 1,000 soldiers and horses.
"Help, my lord, help these barbarians are going to rebel, they actually tore up the seal of the imperial court, and broke into the courtyard sealed by the imperial court without permission!" Seeing the rushing army, one of the slightly injured officials immediately ran to the army leader officer when the attention of the southern barbarians was focused on a thousand soldiers and horses, and cried.
This officer is an adjutant general, named Yue Qing, who holds real power, has extraordinary eyebrows, and is heroic, and is a good hand in the army at a glance.
Now when he was patrolling with the army, he heard that there was a change here, so he immediately brought people over!
When he saw the scene in front of him, he didn't need to listen to what the head of the government servant said, and directly asked the army to surround Xiao Yuan and the others.
The reason why he didn't dare to do it for a while was that he knew that these barbarians in front of him were not easy to mess with, and ten soldiers might not be able to beat one, and there were sixty barbarians and thirty archers, and he didn't know if there were any helpers on the side, if there were helpers hidden in secret
I don't know who will win when I fight.
"What the hell is going on?" Next, Yue Qing jumped off the horse, shaved the official viciously, and then asked.
Hearing Yue Qing's inquiry, the official hurriedly said the previous matter, of course, he kept adding oil and vinegar, fabricating right and wrong, Xiao Yuan and others tore up the seal and trespassed on the forbidden land, which has already constituted the crime of rebellion, and under the addition of oil and vinegar by the leader of the official service, at least one can be sentenced to the crime of exterminating the nine clans.
"Hmph, is what he said true?" Yue Qing pointed to Xiao Yuan in the crowd and asked, because he could see at a glance that Xiao Yuan was the leader of this group.
"Yes, I did tear up the seal and trespass on the forbidden land, but I have no intention of rebelling!" Xiao Yuan glanced at these troops, not caring at all.
"Hugh has to quibble, tear up the seal, trespass on the forbidden land, and beat the officials of the imperial court? What is this not a rebellion? My lord, please quickly take down these people, these people are simply violating the national prestige of our Fengyan country!" Before Yue Qing could answer, the official said coldly.
"Come on, take down these traitors, and those who dare to disobey will be killed!" Yue Qing also looked very pale, and immediately ordered, although he knew that this group of people in front of him was not easy to deal with, but if he could take it, it would definitely be a great achievement, anyway, he didn't have to fight hard, a hundred soldiers would not work, two hundred would be used over there, and if two hundred would not work, then five hundred
And when the order was given, he called someone to inform the other troops
As soon as Yue Qing gave the order, two or three hundred soldiers killed Xiao Yuan and the others, and in an instant, the sound of swords resounded.
However, after only three breaths, two or three hundred soldiers were completely overturned to the ground, and the barren and strong arms did not use any weapons, and with a swing, forty or fifty soldiers were shocked out with a single blow, and they all screamed and wailed
Seeing such a scene, Yue Qing's face became solemn, although he knew that these people were not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that two or three hundred soldiers would not be able to resist a round Not to mention the previous soldiers, I am afraid that even if ten thousand soldiers come, I am afraid it will not be enough for them to fight!
"You, how dare you resist?" Yue Qing's tone was terrifyingly cold, although there was some drumming in his heart, but he didn't dare to do anything to himself for a while, at least he was a deputy general, wasn't it? This is a real important position in the army.
"My lord, I said before, I have no intention of rebelling, I don't believe you look at this!" Xiao Yuan directly threw out the token given by Yan Xi, he was not afraid of this Yue Qing, but now is not the time to make extraneous branches, although the army of a thousand people is not much, but most of them are directly killed, which will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court, so he will be in trouble.
Yue Qing took the token, his pupils shrank immediately, a frightened expression appeared on his face, and he immediately knelt down on one knee: "Subordinate Yue Qing, I've seen an adult!"
Obviously, Yue Qing knew Yanxi's token, and at the same time, he also knew that the person who could get Yanxi's token was not something that his little lieutenant could offend!
Seeing Yue Qing suddenly kneeling down in front of Xiao Yuan, the officials were completely stunned and couldn't believe the facts in front of them
What the hell is going on?
"I'm not an official of the imperial court at all, so I'm not an adult, I just have some friendship with Princess Yanxi!" Xiao Yuan waved his hand, letting Yue Qing be polite, and then said indifferently: "I just want to know, why was the Xiao family exterminated?"
Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Yue Qing's expression suddenly became respectful, not a person who can make friends with the princess is not a person, he is definitely a big person, at least such a character, Princess Yanxi respects it, otherwise how could he give him the personal token?
Therefore, Yue Qing had a small calculation in his heart, thinking about how to have a good relationship with Xiao Yuanpan in front of him, in this way, he would definitely have a bright future!
"Lord Hui, my subordinates are not very clear, but my subordinates know that the reason why the Xiao family was exterminated was because of a person, that person was called Lin Lie, and I heard that he asked the emperor to kill the Xiao family!"
Although Xiao Yuan had already guessed that it was very likely that the clan had been exterminated, when he heard Yue Qing say the word extermination, his color suddenly turned pale, and when he heard that it was because of Lin Lie, a trace of undisguised killing intent suddenly emanated, making the temperature drop, making the horses frightened Even Yue Qing felt that his scalp was numb, and his spine was cold.
"Lin Lie is good, very good, really good!" Xiao Yuan laughed angrily, and said three good words in a row, but who could hear the coldness in that tone.
After figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, Xiao Yuan took a moment to stabilize his emotions, and he knew that he couldn't mess up now
However, he had already sworn in his heart that if Lin Lie did not die, he would not die, and vowed to sacrifice Lin Lie's head to his father Xiao Xun's spirit in the sky.
Xiao Yuan, who stabilized his emotions, sent Yue Qing and the others away, and also asked Pan Huang and others to wait for him in front of the gate of Xiao's house, he wanted to be quiet
Fengxian Town, which is not particularly large, can be said to be gloomy now, with the smell of dried blood and rancid smell everywhere, making the already depressed streets look even more desolate.
Xiao Yuan could feel the souls that kept floating on the streets, the countless miserable screams that seemed to float out from under the eighteenth layer of hell, here, I don't know how many people were buried, how many people were unjustly killed.
In front of a street, the doors of every house were closed, and the street was completely covered with fallen leaves and dust, Xiao Yuan walked alone on this street, letting the wind howble.
And in an alley in the middle of the street, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was curled up, his face was covered with mud and his clothes were tattered, and he was looking in horror at a figure outside the alley. Xiao Yuan.
"Xiao Lin?"
Seeing this shrunken figure, Xiao Yuan said a little excitedly, but as soon as he shouted out Xiao Lin one by one, he was disappointed again, and Xiao Lin, the little follower who had been following him all the time before, was no longer there
"Childe, it's time to get up and eat!"
"Childe, you wait for me!"
"Childe, run, they're coming!"
"Childe, hide quickly, my lord is looking for you everywhere!"
A sentence as if it had just happened, as if it was right in front of my eyes
In this shrunken boy, Xiao Yuan saw the shadow of the little follower.
"What's your name?" Xiao Yuan said softly.
Perhaps a little afraid, the young man instinctively shrank back, and said timidly: "I have been an orphan since I was a child and have no name!"
"Do you want to be hungry, do you want to be strong and stop being bullied?"
The young man's eyes kept falling on Xiao Yuan's body, and after pondering for a moment, he revealed a pair of bright eyes: "Think!"
"Okay, from today on, you will be called Xiao Lin! I will not let you starve again, and I will not let you be bullied again!"
