Chapter 471: Flowing Fire (2)
However, it was too late, and I don't know who shouted: "Shoot!" ”
Then I saw a powerful bow and crossbow shoot out like a net, and those who stood close were killed on the spot, and those who stood far away were also shot in the ankles and thighs, and they couldn't walk away if they were slow.
The crossbowmen, on the other hand, were expressionless, and they were neatly replaced with a string of crossbow arrows, ready to aim.
The second time "Raise the bow, shoot!" When the command was called, everyone knew that they were going to run quickly without warning, and although the little leader was the first to run, there was no place to hide in this cornfield, and the crossbowmen also raised their bows and increased the range, and Rao, the fastest runner, was inevitably shot.
Hagi Niang was secretly frightened, these people actually had no mercy for killing, like machines, without the slightest hesitation.
As early as when the slave saw Hagi Niang and the others being helped into the carriage safely, he fainted.
Hagi Niang looked at the extremely bloody and incomparably weird scene outside the window pane, but there was no way to resist at all.
The wound on the slave's back has been broken, and he and the rest of the people are ineffective, and now although these people are acting viciously, he can only pray that they will save him with good intentions.
However, she faintly felt in her heart that these people must have come for her own people, otherwise there was no need to kill those people at all, their purpose was to take away her own people, but they didn't want anyone to know about it, and they didn't want to be guessed about the origin of these people.
The man in charge had no intention of explaining to them, and when he saw that no one had escaped the net, he commanded his men: "Burn this land, so that no one will cause any trouble." ”
Hagi Niang was distraught and watched the cornfield become a sea of fire, but she didn't have a chance to ask these people, who were they, and where were they going to take them?
The slave was pale, and he fell weakly in Hagi Niang's arms, his eyes were closed, but he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.
Liu Muzhi sat opposite the carriage and persuaded softly: "You better let Liu Lang sleep for a while, he's fine, it's just that he is out of strength, and he can recover after a few days of rest." ”
Hagi Niang raised her head a little apprehensively and asked quietly, "Aren't you worried that these people have bad intentions?" ”
Liu Muzhi said slightly: "I only know that if their purpose was to take our lives, now we have been thrown into that fire." ”
This is not wrong, even if they don't make a move, they are afraid that their group will not be able to escape the poisonous hands of those people, so it seems that they have come to save themselves.
However, although the attendants were polite and polite, when asked questions such as "who are you" or "where are you now", they did not know anything, and just stubbornly shook their heads.
The carriage does not seem to be on the official road, the scenery on the side of the road is very different from when Hagi Niang came, the climate near Lipu is still quite warm, but this road is getting colder and colder, from the perspective of daylight, it seems to be walking northwest.
Thankfully, the unsettling silence didn't last long.
At lunchtime, the leader in the hat finally took off his mask and got into the car himself and asked, "Are you still feeling any discomfort along the way?" ”
Hagi didn't recognize him at once, only that he was also an attendant, but on closer inspection, the intricate patterns of his clothes were unforgettable, and she almost immediately understood that this young man, who seemed to be just an ordinary scholar, was the master of this line.
At this time, under someone else's roof, she could only smile and gently reply: "Thank you for your favor, the attendants served very well......"
The man smiled with satisfaction and wanted to turn away.
Hagi Niang added in time: "However, I have always been a country of etiquette, and your hospitality is quite lacking in etiquette. ”
was accused of "losing manners" by a young sister-in-law, probably for the first time in his life.
The man's face suddenly changed, his brows furrowed, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Hagi Niang with a slight sorrow.
Hagi Niang was not afraid at all, and was still smiling, as if she was praising him.
The two confronted each other for a while, or did the man finally laugh at himself, but he was just a sister-in-law, how could he be as knowledgeable as her?
With a playful smile, he asked gently, "So, what do you think you need to do to meet the etiquette of hospitality?" ”
Hagi Niang is actually worried in her heart, she doesn't know what the other party is about, and what will happen if she really annoys them.
Therefore, seeing that he finally softened his attitude, she was no longer aggressive, but said gently: "Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, you want to invite us to your place, this is not a bad thing, now I have a car of several people are women and children are weak, even if you want to try to leave, it is very difficult, why do you order people not to reveal your identity, let alone tell us, where are you going now?" Are you so unconfident in your own abilities? ”
She saw that the other party was a little unkind, so she hurriedly saluted and said humbly: "Hagi Niang is a foolish person, if you don't know anything about this, you will inevitably have doubts, if it is not a big problem, please tell me to be kind." ”
These words were both rigid and soft, neither humble nor arrogant, even Liu Muzhi couldn't help nodding secretly, praising in his heart that this woman really knew the general and had some means.
The man also nodded slightly, as if to say to himself: "Yes, yes......"
Hagi looked at him in surprise, revealing an inquiring look.
The man bowed his hand and said, "You are right, I was rude." ”
He showed a bright smile to the people in the car, and Hagi clearly saw his cute little tiger teeth.
"In Xia Xu Mu, there was no malice towards you, but it was the head of the family who came down to invite him, so he just rescued a few people."
Hagi Niang saw that although he said his name, it was no different from not saying it, so she couldn't help frowning slightly.
Xu Mu heard the sound and knew the elegance, and continued: "Although my clan is Han, now it is living in Nanzhong, and for the sake of it, a few people have seen the head of the family, and the head of the family will naturally inform them one by one, and now I also ask a few people to be restless, at most two days, we can arrive." ”
Although there are still many difficult points, one thing that can be determined is that the destination is in the Nanzhong region, but it is closer to the destination of his group, Kunchuan, and there is a carriage to sit on, and the body of the slave needs to rest, and he is also injured, although he walks slowly, it is not a bad thing.
Hagi Niang had already guessed that the person who really planned this matter was not the one who led it, and now it is true.
Thinking about this, Xu Mu had already told himself everything he could say, and Hagi Niang accepted it when she saw it, so it was inconvenient to ask again, but she returned a salute gently, and said gratefully: "Thank you, your kindness Hagi Niang will remember it in my heart." ”
Xu Mu glanced at everyone in the car again, and then left.
