Chapter 14: The hostages force the army back
The plaque at the grocery store at noon may have been smashed by those brutal samurai, and at this moment the thin old man was sitting on the ground and carefully polishing it, as if preparing to put it back on.
Luo Fengyu has been worried all the way over, for fear that this Fu Ye will also be captured by them.
Now that he saw that the other person was still there, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but wonder how he escaped the arrest.
Fu Ye saw the two of them nod slightly, then put down the plaque and stood up tremblingly, wiped his hands on the placket of his clothes, and said with a smile while leading the two inside: "Don't worry, it's all ready." I'll let Ah Da take you out of the city. β
Luo Fengyu nodded. I remember that every time I finished shopping, it was the guy named "Ah Da" who drove them out of the city in an ox cart to the foot of Tiger Wolf Mountain, and they had to carry the things back by themselves as porters for the rest of the way.
She just wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible and return to the paradise, so she didn't have the heart to count, and said to Fu Ye: "Well, okay, I'm tired of Fu Ye." β
At this moment, there was another commotion outside.
Someone shouted, "Oh no! The gates are sealed! We can't get out! β
"Why? Okay, why the lockdown? β
"I heard that the imperial court has sent a large army to punish the Ying family!"
"No wonder, Dog's Day Ying Tiangui, this is to let us die with his family..."
"What should I do then..."
"How do you get out..."
"I don't want to die..."
This time, not only Luo Fengyu was frightened, but Luo Linyue and Fu Ye also changed their faces in an instant.
The three of them were stunned for a moment.
Fu Ye rubbed his hands and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "You wait here first, and I'll let Ah Da go to investigate the situation and see if I can think of a way to get out." β
At this point, of course, the two had nothing to say.
Immediately, Fu Ye hurriedly went out.
In the house, Luo Fengyu glared at Luo Linyue angrily.
If it weren't for the fact that this kid had to go into the city, he would have gone back to his house outside the city before, and he wouldn't have had this bad luck.
Luo Linyue pretended not to see it, reached out and took a fruit from a few and handed it to her.
Luo Fengyu was angry.
Luo Linyue peeled the skin again and fed it to her mouth.
Luo Fengyu glanced at him, bit it, and deliberately bit his hand, biting very hard.
Luo Linyue grinned in pain, but still didn't say anything.
Luo Fengyu was relieved, but he was a little relieved in his heart, and when he raised his eyes and saw the clear tooth marks on the back of his fingers, he couldn't help but laugh again.
Luo Linyue was silent and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to get so bad." β
Luo Fengyu was stunned.
She didn't expect this kid to apologize too.
At this time, the noise outside is even worse, and the sound of footsteps, shouting, and crying is chaotic, which makes people even more upset.
Luo Fengyu forced himself to calm down.
In this case, it's useless to blame anyone, you have to find a way to get out of the city as soon as possible...
After about a pillar of incense, Fu Ye finally came back, his face was even more ugly than just now, "This time it's a big deal." β
"What the hell is going on?" Luo Fengyu hurriedly asked.
Fu Ye said: "I heard that this is a big man who has come back, with 5,000 elite soldiers, and has been camped outside the city. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Master Ying ordered the city to be closed, and even threatened to die with the people of Youxian. β
Luo Fengyu was suddenly shocked.
Just now she comforted herself and said that the words of those people were not enough to be believed, they must be exaggerated, etc., but she didn't expect it to be true.
I'm a good girl! It's such a big fuss!
"Now that the four city gates have been closed, they are guarded by Lord Ying's people with a few soldiers, and those people who were captured have been escorted to the north tower at this time."
This is a blatant opposition to the imperial court! It is equivalent to rebellion!
Ying Tiangui should not be called Ying Tiangui, it should be called bold!
So, it's impossible to get out of the city.
Luo Fengyu wanted to cry without tears.
β¦β¦
At this moment, on the north side of the city, hundreds of people with their hands and feet tied are struggling on the verge of life and death.
In front of him is a city wall about three feet high, and if you fall, your brain will burst and die; Behind him is the broadsword of the Ying family samurai, and if he is not obedient, he will be stabbed through the heart.
This... It has already been verified on the way here.
Under extreme fright, they could only cry helplessly.
There were not many spectators downstairs in the city, only a few black-clothed knights in strong suits and cloaks, surrounded by a young man in purple with a handsome face.
Farther away, you can faintly see banner hunting and human figures.
"Retire! The troops must be withdrawn! Otherwise, nothing to talk about! The middle-aged man dressed as a scribe on the castle tower shouted hysterically down.
The purple-clothed young man sat upright on his horse, bowed his head in contemplation, and ignored his clamour.
The middle-aged man was so angry that he threw the nearest old woman down.
The old woman screamed in frightβ
The faces of the black knights below all changed.
One of them hurriedly flew out, caught the old woman who was thrown down in mid-air, and looked up at the middle-aged man who was doing evil on the city tower.
The middle-aged man sneered, "You have the ability, you catch them all-" said with a slight glance at the samurai next to him.
The swords in the hands of the samurai pushed forward half an inch in unison.
Those who were bound had pain in their backs, and had to desperately lie on their stomachs on the wall, most of their bodies were hanging outside the wall, and as long as the people behind them pushed slightly, they immediately had to fall under the city.
"Okayβ" the purple-clothed young man finally spoke, "you let them go, and it's easy to talk about the retreat." β
"No, you retreat first." The middle-aged man has a tough attitude and refuses to give in half a step.
He was actually frightened by the battle.
I really didn't expect that the imperial court would really move this time and send so many soldiers to attack.
Although their Ying family has some power in Youxian, it is really not enough to compete with the imperial court...
This time I was really miserable...
Seeing that the people below didn't react, he made a gesture to push the cannon fodder down again.
The purple-clothed young man hurriedly said, "Okay." β
The other black-clothed knights hurriedly said, "Master, you..."
The purple-clothed young man waved his hand at them, "It's okay, do as he says." As he spoke, he called another subordinate and whispered a few words in his ear.
The black-clad knight nodded in agreement, then turned his horse's head and galloped away with his master's orders.
The purple-clothed young man immediately said to the black-clothed knight beside him: "Tell them that this time the troops sent into Youxian County are not aimed at his family, but an extremely secret military operation. The matter of the family, the court is not unforgivable, smart people... It's time to know how to do it. β
"Masterβ" The black knight's face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to stop it.
The purple-clothed young man interrupted him, "It's okay, just say that." β
The black knight had no choice but to shout to the castle tower as he wished.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man relaxed slightly, but he still didn't say anything to ask those warriors to withdraw their swords, but his heart was open.
He said, this Youxian County is poor and sparsely populated, how can it be worth the imperial court's great efforts to rectify; Besides, Hu County's order was demoted again, which shows that there is no backer in the imperial court, how could the imperial court send elite soldiers to punish his own family for him.
Therefore, the words of this young nobleman are still credible, at least more credible than other words, although he still does not know the specific identity of this young nobleman.
