The forbidden troops who had been guarding outside the banquet courtyard poured in one after another, surrounding a large group of people in the courtyard. Flashing dance and Wen Qingwu wearing a vermilion coat.

One by one, they held crossbows in their hands and turned their backs to the people inside, looking out vigilantly and vigilantly.

Li Ke walked in briskly from outside the crowd. Vice General Cheng and Li Duhu followed behind him. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was full of dead palace people who were lying or sitting on futons. One by one, their eyes were scattered, as if they had been frozen.

He was shocked and looked at Wen Qingwu.

She stood beside the campfire, dressed in a scarlet hat, and the flames on her side were blazing. She stood quietly and gracefully, as if all this was just a passing thing.

This made Li Ke's horror in his heart involuntarily much less.

He walked into Wen Qingwu and looked at the frozen people all over the ground, "What's the matter with them?" ”

"Caught in the magic." Wen Qingwu paused before replying.

When it comes to maze, Li Ke's first one is quite natural. Then he asked, "Have you given it to them?" ”

Wen Qingwu was noncommittal, and only said, "I'll tell you later." After saying that, he asked, "Can you catch those people?" ”

"It should be all right." Li Ke said, "Xia Sheng, they went to check the entire courtyard. There are not many people. I guess he wanted to do something to us in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. I just didn't expect us to find out in advance. ”

"But the bandits?" Wen Qingwu asked.

Li Ke shook his head, "I don't know." Let's check it out then. Have all the palace people come out? He asked, unconcernedly.

Wen Qingwu looked at Li Ke's face and nodded, "Liuji has checked, it should be all"

She paused.

"What's wrong?" Li Ke noticed her strangeness and asked.

Wen Qingwu suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of his courtyard, his face changed! "Oh no, the willow leaves are still inside!"

"That little maid next to you?" Li Ke asked casually, that little girl who doesn't know how to look at her eyes very well. "Don't worry, I'll send someone to pick her up."

"Ruyoshi, you go!" Wen Qingwu directly turned his head and ordered.

"Yes!" As soon as Ruyoshi answered, he was about to fly out, but he saw that the group of black-clothed men were holding these dozen or so people hostage and retreating towards the back road.

Coincidentally, this courtyard is the place where you have to leave.

Probably the same, so they had a dozen or so people in their hands.

One of them is the willow leaf.

At this moment, he was held in front of him by a man covered with a rag, looking at Wen Qingwu in fear.

When I got closer, I saw that these people were wearing linen short brown, and their bodies were stained with traces of dried soil, embarrassed but fierce.

"Let us go, or none of us will want to live!" The leader was carrying Liu Ye, and said viciously to Li Ke with his face covered.

There are no noble people in it. For a few slaves and maids, to be honest, Li Ke didn't take it much to heart. "Let you go? Didn't you think you might not be able to leave when you came? ”

If you can keep it, you will naturally protect it. I can't keep it, and I can't do that.

As for these individuals, none of them can be let go.

"No more nonsense!" The first drink, "If you don't let us go, this will wipe their necks!" ”

Li Ke sneered and did not answer. Li Duhu next to him snorted, "Are you scared when we are?" I only advise you to let people go, and we will leave you a whole corpse! ”

Such a year of calamity will be difficult for even the people in the upper city to survive. Not to mention the mountain bandits in the mountains. I don't know how many dead and wounded.

dared to go out and take risks to attack the prince of the royal family, which shows that he was forced to have no way.

But there is no way, and it is impossible to get out of this mansion alive if you attack a prince and nobleman like Li Ke.

"Lao Tzu is not scaring you!" As soon as he said that, he shouted to the side.

I saw that the two handmaidens who were held hostage next to me were cut by the neck, and blood sprayed out.

Li Ke straightened his face and said to the mountain bandit at the head: "Release the arrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, the walls of the courtyard were instantly filled with archers with bows and arrows, as well as the forbidden troops with crossbows around here, towards the mountain bandits who were forced to one place by Deputy General Cheng.

"Wait!" Wen Qingwu suddenly spoke, and stepped forward to stop the archer's movements. She looked at the mountain bandit with blazing eyes: "You let people go, I will allow you to leave." ”

Li Ke didn't care much about these slaves, and she didn't care much either. But for Liu Ye, she will save her life even if she gives up her life.

Hearing this, Li Ke turned his head and looked at Wen Qingwu in confusion, "You"

Wen Qingwu raised his arm and blocked what Li Ke wanted to say, "I will never break my word." She exclaimed.

The mountain bandit leader looked at Wen Qingwu and was very hesitant, "How can I trust you?" ”

"You can only trust me." Wen Qingwu's voice was loud, she was used to seeing the gentleness on weekdays, and at this moment, Li Ke actually saw an inconvenient momentum from her.

"You followed us all the way from Luoyang to here, and you didn't do it to kill you. It's a disaster year, it's hard. I know. They are all the people of Tianzhou, and for the obedient people, I, Wen Jin, have always been talkative. Wen Qingwu lowered her voice, and her tone was dark. You met me in Luoyang, you should know if my words are useful. ”

The mountain bandit leader was stunned, looked at Wen Qingwu, laughed twice after a while, and ripped off the tattered linen cloth on his face, "Sure enough, it's a woman, I recognized Lao Tzu at a glance!" Good! ”

The towel was torn off. Li Ke's face flashed darkly.

It turned out to be the mountain bandits in Luoyang City who were mixed in with the pile of homeless people.

Wen Qingwu's face remained unchanged, and he listened to the mountain bandit leader and said heartily: "Originally, Lao Tzu was very itchy when he saw you at the first sight in Luoyang, and he thought that if he succeeded here, he would take you back to Lao Tzu by the way!" I don't want her mother to have such a big battle, as for it? The emperor is not under such martial law as you!! He said this last sentence to Li Ke, and he was very angry.

"I don't think I can take it with me today." Wen Qingwu said, slowing down his voice and regaining his usual gentleness, "But you just need to let these palace people go." You can take your own lives with you. ”

The mountain bandit leader looked at Wen Qingwu, "What about the money?" ”

Although it is the second batch, the palace concubines and royal relatives have not said it, it is the things that are used with them and the things that are used on weekdays, and they are all precious things outside.

The property that can be robbed is also quite a lot for them mountain bandits.

"Of course." Wen Qingwu said unequivocally.

As soon as he finished saying this, the mountain bandit didn't believe it, "Are you lying to Lao Tzu?" How could it be so good! ”

"Don't believe me?" Wen Qingwu said, "In that case, you will put them one by one." Let go of a palace person who is holding it hostage in his hand, after going out. After it is confirmed that the first person is out of danger, the second person will be released. And so on. If one of the people who ran away was a good man, the people behind him would be able to kill the hostages immediately, okay? ”

The mountain bandit looked at Wen Qingwu, she was dressed in a red coat and draped on her body, with beautiful sideburns and Huasheng on her falling horse bun. The face is peaceful and gentle, and in the light of the fire, just looking at it can make people let down their guard.

"Okay, I promise you!" The mountain bandit thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said.

Wen Qingwu's face did not change, and his gaze swept over the palace people they were hosting, as if he was very casual, "Then let's start with her?" She nodded the willow leaf.
