Chapter Twenty-Seven: Life and Death in the City of Anton
Andong City was instantly plunged into chaos.
People hid in their homes and listened to the fighting outside, shivering and tearful.
Previously, the Xiang clan suddenly closed the city, and everyone was not allowed to go out, saying that there were thieves and soldiers who were dangerous outside, and only hiding in the city was the safest, and they could protect everyone's safety.
But now it seems to be a lie.....
Obviously, the Xiang clan locked them up here, and the Xiang clan is the thief!
"Listening to the movement outside, it seems that the Xiang family's soldiers and horses are fighting by themselves."
"Oh my God, I'd like to see the thieves out there they say come to our rescue!"
A street occupied by the Xiang clan became a battlefield at this time, relying on the soldiers and horses on both sides of the courtyard wall to attack and defend each other, and the Xiang clan people were also hiding everywhere in panic...... The place is so big, where can you hide!
"Father, we don't have as many people as they do." Master Xiang said with a pale face, "I can't stop it at all, they will be killed soon." ”
Old lady Xiang closed her eyes: "Thousands of precautions, the Qi family is really still treacherous and ruthless." ”
"The marquis hasn't been defeated yet." Master Xiang Wu shouted angrily, "They will unload the mill and kill the donkey!" ”
Old lady Xiang opened his eyes: "Blame me, when Qishan is increasing troops here, we should have started early....."
It's too late to say anything.
"Father, don't panic, the Qi family must have the upper hand with the sixth master." An old man said, "I have already sent someone to rush out to report the news, the sixth master's soldiers and horses are not far from here, and they will be able to come to help soon." ”
I hope so, Old Lady Xiang stood up and was about to speak, when someone stumbled in outside.
"Oh no, no, I can't stop it outside, the Qi clan soldiers and horses have come in!"
It's so fast! This Qi'a City is really fierce! The old man's face turned pale, and he immediately hugged the old lady Xiang, "Father, go quickly", "Where is my father going?" ”
Old lady Xiang was surrounded by scrambles, and he couldn't hold people and grabbed the corners of his clothes, so crowded that he almost suffocated and fainted, he knew what these people meant, since he had already taken precautions, it was impossible to have no way to retreat, secret passage or something, no one was afraid of leaving himself.
Old lady Xiang sighed, if you can keep a few, count a few, he pointed the way: "Go to the backyard under the jujube tree!" ”
Several old men hugged the old lady Xiang and hurriedly walked out, the guards protected them tightly, the cry of the courtyard next door had already come, and the soldiers and horses of the Qi family had entered the inner courtyard!
The soldiers and horses of the Qi family were red-eyed, regardless of men, women, old and children, as long as they saw them, they would kill them, Qi Acheng stood at the gate of the courtyard, listening to the screams and crying, looking at the familiar faces that had fallen, without the slightest pity.
It is a cooperation, but the enemy is the enemy, and where will the enemy be soft-hearted when he kills the enemy.
"Brute, take down the old lady Xiang." Qi Acheng called the maid, "Cut off his head and give it to Xiang Yun!" ”
The maid responded by raising her knife and rushing inward, and the familiar people here went all the way forward, but whenever a panicked Xiang person ran over, the maid slashed with a knife.
Qi Acheng followed, stepping over the corpses on the ground and stepping on the blood.
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise behind him.
"The white-robed army is here!"
"It's Xiang Nan!"
"The white-robed army has broken the city!"
White-robed military Xiang Nan? Qi Acheng turned his head and saw the soldiers and horses rushing out.....
The maid stopped and asked if she wanted to go for reinforcements: "I don't know how many?" We'll have to defend the city, or else..."
Otherwise, there is no advantage.
Qi Acheng thought that his father's life and death were unknown, and his eyes were red and said: "What's the use of guarding the city!" I don't want this city, I just want Xiang's life! Kill all the Xiang clans! ”
After she said that, she took the knife in the hands of her own soldiers and rushed forward, and a panicked Xiang family wearing a brocade robe happened to bump over, and when she saw Qi Acheng, she shouted in fright, "Miss, spare your life!" He was about to kneel, but he was still a step too late, Qi Acheng's knife slashed horizontally, and the family member screamed, and the broken half of his neck spurted blood.....
"Qi'a City!"
A shout came from behind.
Qi Acheng turned around and saw a young man in a white robe and armor coming on horseback, like the sun piercing through the clouds, dazzling in an instant.
The blinding cold light is getting closer.
"Miss!"
The maid's shout exploded in her ears, and Qi Acheng subconsciously raised her knife to block, but she was still a step too late, and with a muffled sound, a sharp arrow pierced her chest.
The huge power took her backwards, the cold light in front of her dissipated, she saw the handsome face of the white-robed boy who rushed over, and the heavy bow in front of her, and it was only a moment to see the face clearly, and the cold light shone again.
Three arrows flew like meteors.
Qi Acheng, who retreated, was hit by three more arrows, his body was like a butterfly fanning its wings and flying like petals, someone pounced and tried to hold her, but a few sharp sounds of breaking the air made the person hit her hard, and the two of them spun and fell to the ground together.
"Miss!" The maid shouted in front of her.
Qi Acheng looked at the maid's face, the blood at the corner of her mouth and the arrow that penetrated her throat, moved her lips, and did not say the last word after all, a sigh sounded in her ears, and there was a pair of feet in her sight, stepping on the bloody water on the ground, like a lotus rising on the surface of the lake.....
The last shred of consciousness of Qi'a City disappeared and he fell into eternal darkness.
Qi Acheng and the maid fell, and the white-robed army rushed up at the same time, killing with the Qi soldiers.
Xiang Nan held a heavy bow on horseback, his sharp eyes staring at the place where Qi Acheng fell.....
"Have you seen one.... Monk? He asked.
The soldiers around him held swords and looked around, Qi's soldiers and horses were fighting with the white-robed soldiers, Xiang's family was running in a panic, dead bodies were lying on the ground, and the injured were struggling and crying..... Didn't see any monks.
How can there be monks in this place?
The figure didn't look like a monk, it was tightly wrapped up and down, and it flashed by..... Is it a dazzle or an illusion, Xiang Nan is not bothered by this, and is sure that everyone has not seen it, that is, it does not exist.
Even if it exists, if this monk is a member of the Qi clan, he will kill it.
"Kill the Qi clan's soldiers and horses." He shouted, dismounted with a heavy bow, and strode towards the courtyard, without even looking at the corpse of Qi'a City.
The white-robed army ran around the city, the sound of fighting continued, and the Xiang family's house was much better than before, although there were cries and cries everywhere, but it was no longer cut like leeks and fish.
Old lady Xiang stood in the courtyard, listening to the crying, looking at the corpses and blood all over the ground, the soldiers and horses of the Qi family were raging at home, and the Qi family was familiar with the Xiang family, and specialized in picking up the powerful descendants of the big house, and the elite of the clan did not know how many people were still alive.
If it weren't for the support of a few people, he wouldn't have been able to stand.
"I'm Xiang... My Xiang clan...."He burst into tears, "My Xiang clan was destroyed by the hands of the Qi clan!" ”
Master Xiang Wu cried with blood guarding the corpses of his wives and concubines, and scolded Xiang Nan again, "Why did you come!" ”
Although the other masters were heartbroken, they still had a trace of sobriety for the rest of their lives, and looked at Xiang Nan standing in front of him and wept: "Fortunately, Xiao Nan came in time, otherwise our Xiang clan would really die." ”
Xiang Nan didn't shed tears of grief, but only asked, "What happened?" The battle has not yet been decided, why is the Qi family so mad? ”
Master Xiang said: "We don't know, this woman suddenly went crazy!" ”
"I'll ask Ah Wei to go outside to find out what's going on." An old man cried, "First the Qi clan blocked it, and then it was ambushed and killed by the Qi clan's soldiers and horses not far out of the city." ”
It seemed that the Qi clan also made a sudden move, and Xiang Nan turned around and asked his own soldiers to ask.
Only then did the old lady Xiang remember to ask Xiang Nan: "Why are you here?" How is your uncle? ”
Xiang Nan shook his head: "I came straight to the house, I don't know how my uncle is, and I don't know the battle situation over there." ”
Old lady Xiang wanted to say that he would help Xiang Yun quickly, if Xiang Yun was defeated, the Xiang family would be finished, but he couldn't say it, Xiang Nan was not here, and their Xiang family would be finished, so they could only shed tears, why did Xiang fall into such a situation in the blink of an eye? It's clear that the victory is in hand.
Xiang Nan didn't speak, the troubled times are like a battlefield, life and death are instantaneous, and no one can be sure that they are the winner.
"Your Excellency." The soldiers rushed over, "The soldiers and horses of the Qi clan don't know what's going on, it's news from outside that Xiang Dudu has joined forces with Jiannandao and the female marquis to defraud Qi Shan." ”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady immediately said nonsense: "How can Brother Yun join forces with Jiannan Dao?" ”
Compared with Qi Shan, Xiang Yun was more wary of Jiannan Dao.
Not to mention what other maidens.
"Is Qi Shan crazy?"
Qi Shan is crazy or not, and the people here don't know, and the soldiers said: "It seems that he also said, the female marquis, what is the ..... of Jiannan Dao?"
He thought hard, the soldiers and horses of the Qi clan were also in a mess and didn't know why they were fighting, and they only obeyed orders, that is, the guards at the city gate listened more, but they were only a few words, not clear.
“..... It's the eldest lady of Kennando. ”
What? Female marquis, the eldest lady of Jiannan Province? You mean that the eldest lady of Jiannan Province is also present, right?
"Brother Yun brought the eldest lady of Jiannan Dao with you." Old lady Xiang said, "Not only the eldest lady, but also the two masters of the Li family. ”
"It should be Jiannan Dao Li Mingyu who had a conflict with his family, right?"
"The sixth master said that Li Mingyu may take refuge in the female marquis."
Others were gossiping, but Xiang Nan didn't say a word, as if he was distracted.
"Xiao Nan?" Old lady Xiang called, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiang Nan came back to his senses, looked at them, his eyes were scattered, he opened his mouth but was silent in the end, he thought of a lot of things, but he didn't seem to be able to figure out what it was, so he couldn't say anything.
He jerked around and ran out.
The old men of the Xiang family were at a loss, "Xiang Nan! "Xiao Nan!" "Where are you going!" "What are you going to do?"
Xiang Nan turned around and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll go and see." ”
Look at Xiang Yun's side? Master Xiang Wu couldn't help but shout: "What should you do if you go here?" If the Qi family's soldiers and horses come to kill us, we will be finished! ”
A strange smile appeared on Xiang Nan's face: "I think our Xiang clan is over." ”
......
......
A team of hundreds of soldiers and horses in the wilderness was galloping, there was no flag in the queue, the armored horses were stained with blood, Xiang Yun, who was surrounded in the middle, looked back, and his ears seemed to echo the roar of the mountains and seas when the camp was broken.
It was too fast, and in only two hours, the camp he had retreated to had been breached.
He smiled bitterly again, it turned out that this Chu army was the Jiannan Dao army, and there was nothing strange about breaking through the camp.
From the same family, the same roots, the tactics are too familiar.
Xiang Yun retracted his gaze and looked ahead, feeling his heartbeat, the female marquis is Li Minglou, and Li Minglou is the female marquis.
