Chapter 176: Traces Found!
Chapter 176: Traces Found!
The village is small, simple and very hospitable!
As the saying goes, the bamboo breaks the Quartet and comes from afar, raise a glass to pay tribute to the ancients!
In the face of these "visitors", the people in the village are very welcome, and they also hold a banquet, which can be described as a home away from home.
Late at night, the village is not like a city, and it is still brightly lit, and at this time, the village is already pitch black, and can only be heard from a distance, with a few dog barking, shrouded in mysterious silence.
At the back of the village, there was a courtyard, although the lights were also turned off, but the people inside were not sleeping, all dressed neatly, through the crack in the door, the courtyard wall, carefully observing the surroundings.
In the dark room, there were three people sitting, namely Jiang Yucheng, and his two sons, Jiang Zichong and Jiang Zihao.
"Father, this place is remote, the Tang Dynasty court should not find it, we are always vigilant, is it a bit of a big fuss!
The person who spoke was Jiang Zihao, his face was tired, and he revealed from his tone that he was not bored, and he had suffered a lot in the past ten days of fugitive life.
In the past, brocade clothes and jade food, going out, hugging before and after, no one dared to provoke, living a life of drunken gold fans, how comfortable!
But now, coarse tea and light food, going out, hiding, afraid of being discovered, living a life of stealth, very aggrieved!
His complaint caused Jiang Zichong's displeasure, and he dissuaded:
"Zihao, don't complain! Now we are no longer a powerful family! But we are in such a difficult situation, so we must keep a low profile and protect our heads. ”
Jiang Zihao nodded indifferently and said lazily:
"Got it, brother, my father didn't nag you. ”
After the two finished talking, Jiang Yucheng said: "Don't worry, bear with it any longer! This kind of hard life will come to an end soon." ”
Forbearance is a kind of skill, a kind of realm, and when we encounter a disaster, we must endure it! If we do not bear it, it is a manifestation of stupidity.
Jiang Zichong, who was more intelligent, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked:
"Father, do you have a solution?"
Under the gaze of Jiang Zichong and Jiang Zihao, Jiang Yucheng touched his beard and said with a smile:
"A few days ago, for my father, I decided to go to Baiyun Country to seek political asylum, and I have exchanged 100,000 gold and family exercises for a knighthood in order to keep my clan status. ”
Jiang Zichong and Jiang Zichong, with happy eyes flashing in their eyes, hurriedly asked:
"Father, what is the title?"
Jiang Yucheng touched his beard's hand for a moment, and said lightly:
"Viscount!"
When the two of them heard this, there was a look of disappointment in their eyes, showing a loss that they couldn't hide.
O Viscount!
The lower titles, above the barons, are already very powerful in the eyes of ordinary people! but in their eyes, they are just average.
After all, the Jiang family, in the Purple Lion Country, is a top clan, and they are named dukes, and even the two of them are earls.
"Alas, the feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken!"
Jiang Zichong sighed.
"Drive!"
Just when the three of them were discussing, outside the village, a team of Tang cavalry was galloping rapidly, shuttling through the field paths, getting closer and closer to the village.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the sound of clattering disturbed the tranquility of the village, causing the dogs to bark incessantly, waking up the sleeping people, and every house, to light the lights again.
"Door-to-door, search!"
The officer who led the team commanded loudly, and the cavalry behind him turned and dismounted, took their torches, and entered the village, and then there was a knock at the door.
"Open the door, open the door, the court will arrest the murderer, please cooperate with the search. ”
The door kept opening, and the soldier entered the room, searched carefully, and only after making sure that no one was there, did he say in an apologetic tone:
"Excuse me!"
The polite attitude made the villagers stunned, and hurriedly said with a smile:
"It should, it should!"
This is also what Qin Qiong explained, we must be kind to the people, love the people, and be close to the people! To ensure that the Tang Dynasty army will leave a good impression on the world.
While the soldiers searched, the leading officer was not idle, took out a drawing, walked to the village chief's house and asked:
"The person in the painting is a criminal wanted by the imperial court, has he ever appeared in the village?"
The old dizzy village chief, with the help of the light, looked at it intently, his face was full of surprise, isn't the person who paints the portrait a guest in the village?
"Have you seen this man?"
Seeing the expression of the village chief, the leading officer stared at him and said loudly, which made the village chief's body tremble, and he said hesitantly:
"It's... That... It seems to ......"
In the back village, the movement of the front village was also heard.
"Father, it's the Tang Army, we've been discovered!
Zhou Zihao said in a panic, with a look of fear.
Zhou Yucheng thought for a while and said calmly:
"We haven't been found yet, it's just a search, but with the cowardice of the villagers, we will definitely be exposed, it's better to kill than this!"
Kill!
Only in this way can there be a slight chance of survival.
"Got it, Father!"
Jiang Zichong and Jiang Zihao nodded, they were also cold-blooded, and hurriedly took out their weapons, released their momentum, and reached the realm of military generals.
"Order, the whole village, no chickens and dogs left, all killed!"
Opening the door of the house, Jiang Yucheng ordered, revealing a murderous aura, and the dozen or so people who were on guard outside immediately took the order to clench their fists and disappear into the shadows.
Tonight, this small mountain village is destined to be unpeaceful.
Many Tang Dynasty soldiers were constantly assassinated, red blood, scarlet through the starry night, and defiled the pure mountain village.
Someone died, the village was screaming, very panicked, the leading officer saw this, suddenly felt bad, wanted to go down to check, then heard the ghostly figure, said without emotion:
"If you want to leave, leave forever!"
A dagger, overflowing with cold, pierced the dark dawn and stabbed him in the body, and the tearing pain came from the heart, and the leading officer turned his head.
He saw that the man who killed him matched the portrait in his hand!
Jiang Yucheng pulled out a dagger, and stabbed him in the throat under the village chief's frightened gaze, spurting out blood like a blooming flower.
After killing the army, they killed the ordinary people, and the lives of each other withered.
At this moment, they have forgotten that the kindness of the villagers is like an enemy!
Mercy, to hell with it! Kill, turn into an executioner!
Old men, women, children, infants, all slaughtered, sword-wielding, hell slaughtered, summoned, cold and violent, horrific.
When the slaughter was complete, a fire, blazing, released a scorching heat, engulfing everything here, and the smoke and dust from the bonfire destroyed everything.
"Let's go!"
The fire burned the village, Jiang Yucheng calmly ordered, with a dozen people, disappeared to the end of the field.
The next morning, the sky was filled with a light veil of mist, and in the distance, the horizon was bright, and a new day had arrived.
The village is reduced to nothing, and only the wreckage remains!
A cavalry of thousands of people, heading straight for the village, looked murderous.
"Pilot!"
The general stopped his horse, strained his legs, leaped into the wreckage, broke open a piece of smoking wood, found a corpse, and looked at the armor on his body, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"It looks like he was murdered!"
Afterwards laying down the body, the general walked back to the army and commanded in a loud voice:
"The summons, with this as the center, search around, and be sure to catch the fugitives. ”
"No!"
Thousands of troops nodded, thousands of hooves galloped, searching in all directions, and soon, dozens of miles away from the White Cloud Kingdom, traces were found.
There are still two chapters left before Zhao Yun's resurrection, guess what, Zhao Yun's strength?
Is it Martial Spirit, Martial King, Martial Emperor?
