Chapter VII: Siege
Luo Qinghe ordered people to extinguish all candles, close all the courtyard doors before and after, and retreat to hibernation. The outsiders of Rose Town didn't leave for a day, and he didn't dare to slack off. The person who knows that the Red Blood Sword is in the Valley of Hundred Flowers is Lan Ya, and it is far from enough to tie up the Red Blood Sword and Yunshang's marriage and spread rumors, just by relying on Lan Ya's strength. I believe that at this time, her house was frequently visited by the snitch, and she should have a long memory.
It seems that the entire Luo family, and even Rose Town, are under his control. But he is neither the mayor of the town nor the patriarch, and when the town encounters troubles with headaches, he still has to find him to decide. He doesn't mess with the county government, but the county master is very idle, and he is worried about his Luo family's ancestral property.
How good it is! It's best to fight both sides. The county magistrate only needs to watch from the wall, he can get rid of a batch of grass cowards, report to the state government for meritorious service, and by the way, collect 10,000 acres of land from the Luo family. Such a vicious calculation, such a ruthless heart.
Sometimes I envy Liu Xinzhu that there is an isolated Valley of Hundred Flowers where he can settle down. If it weren't for the fact that all the girls adopted in the valley were girls, or if she had a heart, all women would never marry outside, and probably no one would be able to disturb her tranquility.
The servant came to report: "Master, someone in the northwest corner came in over the wall." Catch? ”
Luo Qinghe leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, and said slowly, "Don't worry." Wait a minute. "Those who dare to come to the door at this hour are not idle people." Let them take a look around and don't slack off. ”
Wait for a few more to come in and then close the door, it's better to fight horizontally and vertically than one by one, the wheel war is too tiring.
Rose Town is located on the plains, and there are no natural dangers that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is no garrison of the state capital Yamen to deploy. In Luo Qinghe's hands, there are only about a hundred children of the Luo family who have been trained by himself. Using them against those bandits with their heads tied to their belts is tantamount to killing with a knife.
still remembers that when Liu Xinzhu came to Luo's house for the first time, he unabashedly disliked: "Your family's defense is too low." Just a few walls, like entering a no-man's land. ”
At that time, Xueyi was still small, and he walked staggeringly, and he had not yet worshipped her as a teacher. Seeing her in a light yellow gauze skirt, he rushed up directly, threw herself into her arms to hug her, and pulled the embroidery on her clothes.
She was sitting on the roof with a snowcoat in her arms, pointing out the layout of his house.
He stood under the eaves and went back in disgust: "What are you talking about? This is my home. You're healed, get out. "After the meal is over, I still dislike the host's house.
Liu Xinzhu is very confident: "I'll draw a picture for you." You've seen it. ”
That evening, Luo Qinghetu received the first draft. The proportions of the painting do not match the reality at all, and the characters are ugly, and it can barely be seen that they are roughly armed. Ditches were dug on the periphery, and it was said that the city was like this. A protective forest was also added, so that archers could squat directly on the trees and shoot those who stole from a high position. The original courtyard also hooked up the labyrinth, saying that it was to disperse the main force of the enemy army.
She felt a sense of accomplishment: "How? If there are rogues, ringing horses or something, within a hundred people, they will die directly in the water, and they will not dirty the gate and yard of your house. ”
At that time, he was dismissive, and he couldn't fight at home: "Waste! We are serious, one-on-one competition, fair and open. Where did a large number of foreign enemies invade. "The enemy army within 100 men is like war.
Liu Xinzhu was angry that he had no sense of prevention, and slapped it on the table: "Then I have been a young master since I was a child, and everyone in the valley knows it!" God knows, suddenly a senior uncle came back with his senior brother. Now I have nothing left except the Luoying Sword that Master gave me! There are unforeseen circumstances, don't you know? ”
Speaking of this, Luo Qinghe even more disagreed.
"Your master was afraid that you would stay alone in the Valley of Hundred Flowers and die alone, so he passed on the position to your senior brother." Luo Qinghe thinks that a girl's family, who doesn't marry in a good year, is it stupid to go to learn what kind of chivalrous person to walk thousands of miles? I am not afraid of encountering gangsters and robbing money and sex.
It was a lot of noise at the time, but now that I think about it, it's like it happened yesterday. Xueyi is already twelve years old, and Yunshang is getting married. What he didn't expect was that he really dug a moat for Xueyi. And after she got married, she ran back to inherit the sect. He just felt that time passed too quickly, and in another ten years, everyone would be old.
The servant hurriedly came to report: "Master, the water is about to crawl out." Do not do it? ”
"Hmm." Luo Qinghe carried a sword and went out in the dark.
When the hour came, it was dawn. Since they were so sure that they could solve the problem in an hour, he wanted to see who was so capable of mobilizing so many men; Who is it who wants to take advantage of the chaos to besiege the Luo family.
Luo Qinghe climbed the lookout again and lit a torch. Squatting on the top of the tree, the archers in the attic received the signal and drew their bows and shot arrows directly at the intruders who climbed ashore. Hold the shore, come up and destroy the other. The opponent also has an archer, and his eyesight is excellent, he can hear the sound and distinguish the position, and reflect an arrow. The person who was shot fell in response. This surprised Luo Qinghe, and he had to go into battle in person.
The archers saw that the lantern at the door was re-lit, and the gate to enter Luo's house slowly opened, and immediately stopped shooting, holding their breath in the dark night, and aiming directly at the gate. Three such doors open, each of which is the way to the lobby. Unusual in the way, there was not a single light on the road, and there were men with knives guarding the open windows.
Even so, someone avoided the bow and arrow, avoided the guards from the courtyard wall with superb light skills, broke into the lobby, and stood in front of Luo Qinghe. Without saying a word, let's do it directly. There are no superfluous moves, and the moves are fatal. is so ferocious, it is not a martial arts competition at all. These people are here to raid their homes and destroy their mouths!
At this time, Luo Qinghe's back was cold, if he hadn't prepared in advance, would the Luo family be bleeding today?
He didn't have time to think about it, he faced it alone. Everyone in the world knows the prestige of the Luo family's red blood sword, and few people will mention the Luo family's swordsmanship. Passed down to Luo Qinghe's generation, no one cares about the Luo family's swordsmanship at all. Now that he has a sword in hand, will he be able to regain his prestige?
Luo Qinghe is easy to deal with a person, and within ten moves, he can find out the way of the opponent's martial arts, and he will never fall in love with war. With a false move, go and deal with another intruder. The distance of three zhang is just right for the archers in the attic to aim and shoot. And since this person can be the first to break in, it is not easy to deal with, and when he hears the sound of arrows, he deftly dodges it. Luo Qinghe was a little struggling with one to two.
He didn't want to kill people, but these people only wanted to kill him. When someone comes in again, he doesn't want to waste his strength, and his sword move will become a killing move, which is the spirit of the Red Blood Sword.
"Why didn't your master come? Sending you to death? Luo Qinghe began to distract them, "Is it that he can't hold a sword at his age?" I still think my Luo family is a bully. ”
