Chapter 589: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High Murderous Night
When the twilight couldn't wait to come up, several other villages that were closer to the foot of the mountain than Xujia Beizhuang began to shout: Wu San, who escaped from the prison of the Criminal Department, came to Potai Mountain, and Wu San, who killed people without blinking, came to Potai Mountain! Come home! Close the door!
In the Xu family's village, Jiang Shangwen had already gathered all the young people in the village, and each of them held the weapons in their hands. Jiang Shangwen was carrying her long-handled big knife, followed by Qingliu on the left and Mingye on the right, and was leading the family members to carefully inspect the inside of the wall again......
Xu Huan ordered all the mothers-in-law and girls in the family, and picked out the bold and powerful ones, and each of them had a water and fire stick wrapped in copper nanmu. entered the courtyard of his study in the corner of the village.
Water and fire sticks are the standard configuration of each family, and the Xu family naturally has them, there are many of them, but they use extremely heavy nanmu, and the copper wrapped in Huang Cancan is at least doubled.
Mrs. Huo thought it was small when she bought this village, and then she stayed a few times as a guest, and she felt that this village was too small, only this time, from top to bottom, the first time she felt that this village was too big, even if all the people in the village could be killed, sprinkled all over the village, that is, it was slightly stronger than a bowl of soup sprinkled with a pinch of pepper noodles.
This is the place that Mrs. Huo discussed with Jiang Shangwen after looking at the entire village.
The courtyard of the study is leaning against a cliff on one side, and outside the wall is the place where the people who go out with the people outside the second door temporarily rest, a small space, and beyond it, there is the wall of the village.
The wall of this Bezhuang is the area on both sides of the gate of Bezhuang, made of big bluestone, tall and strong, of course, the previous owner of Bezhuang repaired this section of the tall bluestone wall, not for the sake of solidity, but for the sake of style.
Two of the four walls are quite strong, and compared to the rest of the village, this is the general of the lame.
Mrs. Huo had already changed into a neat stub, and took Mama Shan, who was also dressed in stubs, and the two girls, Jin Rong and Jin Hua, around the courtyard of the study to inspect everywhere, and ordered the sturdy women and girls who followed behind to nail this place and drag a bookshelf to block it.
Xu Huan stood on the towering tree at the back of the yard, stretching his neck to look at the movement around him. The little papaya stood under the tree with his hands in his hands, turning back and forth, he felt ashamed to stand idly, but there was really nothing he could do, and it felt better to turn in circles.
Mrs. Yan and the rest of the people sat in the main room.
Huang Er's grandmother glanced at her daughter Li Zhangyu, who was scared from time to time, her eyes wide open, and she didn't know that she was scared, her throat was dry and frightened, and she couldn't help it, "Madam, what's going to happen?" ”
"The ancestor said, prevention is better than prevention, at this moment, A-Niang, you have asked seven or eight times." Li Zhangyu was in front of Mrs. Yan, and leaned at her mother and said angrily.
"You know what?" Huang Er's grandmother slapped her daughter in the face.
"Auntie, don't ask, it's okay if there's something, it's useless for you to ask again anyway, you see you're scared of Ah Mo and Ah Li." Li Zhangyu is not afraid of her mother at all.
"Sister Yu is right." Mrs. Yan had calmed down, with a slight smile on her face, "No wonder the daughter's family all over the world is the most sought-after in the Li family, look at Sister Yu'er, so big, it's much better than you." ”
"Sister Mo is not bad." Li Zhangyu pointed to Ah Mo, who was holding her sister Ali tightly.
"Sister Li is not afraid, Sister Li is good, Sister Li is a good child." Ali looked up at Li Zhangyu, one hand clenched into a fist and clasped it in front of her chest, even nervous and scared, tears were about to come out.
"Of course Sister Li is a good child, come, come to the grandmother, let the grandmother hold you." Mrs. Yan was distressed and wanted to laugh, and stretched out her hand to call Ah Li, "And Ah Mo, you also come, there is a big mother, there is your big sister, there are old ancestors outside, there are uncles and uncles, there are many people, let's watch the scene for a while." ”
"Is it as lively as the New Year?" Ah Mo obediently put her head on Mrs. Yan and raised her head to ask her.
"Hmm......" Mrs. Yan muttered seriously, "Grandma thinks it's more lively than the New Year." ”
"Madam, the second wife, they are also ......" Huang Er's grandmother suddenly remembered, pointing her finger at the mountain.
Mrs. Yan glanced at her and didn't answer, Second Grandma Huang was stunned, and before she could ask again, Qingliu's crisp and cheerful voice sounded outside, "Old lady, Jin Gui is here, bringing a lot of fresh melons and fruits." ”
"Call in." Old Madam Huo's eyebrows suddenly relaxed.
That Guo Ye's subordinates have four nobles, each with their own unique skills, this Jin Gui, I heard that he is good at fighting, and Ah Xia asked him to come......
Old Madam Huo was happy, her heart sank again, she didn't know what Ah Xia was going to do, but Jin Gui should stay by her side, but he was assigned to their villa, but I was afraid that the people in Ah Xia's hands were not enough......
Jin Guidu arrived at the door, Xu Huan didn't see it, which made Xu Huan, who was standing on the tree and kept looking, very shocked, and knew that in such a night, with his eyes, it was in vain, so he slid down the tree in frustration, patted his clothes and entered the house.
Jiang Shangwen had already come back from his inspection, and took Qingliu and Mingye into the courtyard.
The two foreign managers, Lao Yu and Wan Fang, each brought someone with them, and one of them guarded one side.
Jin Gui carried a burden with his head held high, entered the house, lifted a basket in front of him and handed it to Qingliu, "There are tender cucumbers, and small melons, try them." ”
"What's your brother?" Jiang Shangwen looked at Jin Gui and asked with a frown.
When you are in battle, whether you have any weapons at hand or not is a big deal.
"Here." Jin Gui also took down the basket behind him, and pulled away the burlap wrapped around the long stick holding the two baskets in one go, revealing a wrought iron rod with a sharp edge at one end.
Jiang Shangwen leaned up, looked at the sharp end of the wrought iron rod, and praised it, "This is good, how did you come up with this?" I can stab, I can slash, I can smash, there are barbs, this thing is good, I'll make one when I turn around. ”
"This is not something that can be done casually, this is what Boss Guo made for me, it cost a lot of silver, and Boss Guo said that he also took a lot of favors with him. Besides, this stick is very heavy, how can you women use it! Jin Gui proudly held his iron rod, he was in a very happy mood, this iron rod was exciting, and it was really refreshing to wield it, which could not be described.
Jiang Shangwen pouted, stretched out his hand and wanted to snatch the stick from Jin Gui's hand and wave two, but he didn't grab it twice, and was about to speak, when he saw Xu Huan coming in from behind the screen, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose, and he smiled calmly, she didn't care about him, and when she returned to the city, let her Lao Xu go to Guo Sheng to ask for one, hum, what is a stick!
"What's in this basket?" Jiang Shangwen still kicked the basket behind him a little stupidly, but this kick failed to kick.
"Good stuff." Jin Gui opened the basket, first took out a dozen daggers one by one, and took out a handful to signal to Jiang Shangwen, "Look, how about it?" ”
The dagger in Jin Gui's hand was longer and narrower than an ordinary dagger, and the blood was carved just right, dark and dark, but it made people feel inexplicable palpitations.
"Good stuff!" Jiang Shangwen took a handful, couldn't put it down, took another handful, and handed it to Li Zhangyu, "Take it, this is a good thing, when it's time for a handful of soldiers, just take it like this, just stab it." ”
Li Zhangyu took the dagger with fear and excitement, and before he could pull it out and hold it, Huang Er's grandmother exclaimed, "How can this thing be given to the child, this ......"
Before Second Grandma Huang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Yan, "Give me a handful too." ”
"Huh?" Huang Er's grandmother was stunned, suddenly came to her senses, sat on the edge of the kang with her buttocks, and Mrs. asked for a handful, could it be that this is self-cutting?
"Come on, Sister Mo takes it and wipes it." Li Zhangyu took out the dagger, the sharp blade was in his hand, he was arrogant, he waved it twice, looked at Amo who was staring at him, and handed the dagger over.
"I'm a little scared." The heavy dagger pressed Amo's hand and sank down, and Li Zhangyu held the dagger by his fingers, as if he had been cast, his eyes were wide and he was afraid, but he held it tightly.
"Ah Mo is good, come, Ah Li will take a handful too." Jiang Shangwen looked at Amo, who looked scared but held the dagger tightly, and couldn't stop laughing.
Huang Er's grandmother was crooked and almost fell to the ground, even Ali had to prepare to cut herself off......
Jin Gui had already taken out the daggers, short knives, and small hand crossbows in the back basket and handed them to Mrs. Huo to distribute to everyone, Xu Huan reached out to pick up the small hand crossbow, and Mrs. Huo crossed him and handed the hand crossbow to the papaya, "This hand crossbow is precious, just your quasi-head, it is blind if you take it, take the papaya well, protect your uncle." ”
Looking at Xu Huankong's two open hands, Jin Gui chuckled and stuffed a short knife into Xu Huan's hand, "Xu Ye take this, be brave." ”
Jiang Shangwen leaned at Jin Gui with an unkind face, and was just about to speak, when Lao Yu's voice came from outside: "Old lady, someone knocked ...... Knock on the door. ”
Lao Yu's voice fell, and a dull sound of hitting the door came in.
Jiang Shangwen lifted the big knife, and as soon as the golden stick was horizontal, he was about to rush out.
"Steady." Old Madam Huo's voice was calm and calm, "Salute first and then soldier, Brother Huan, you go and ask, why did you hit our door and show our family's identity." ”
"Yes." Xu Huan agreed, held the short knife tightly, and rushed out without hesitation, papaya holding the crossbow and following closely beside Xu Huan.
"Who's out there? What do you do when you hit our door? This is Princess Qin's foreign home, the Xu family of Mingzhou. Xu Huan's voice was loud and imposing.
Jiang Shangwen raised his head when he heard this, although she is a husband, although it is really not good to fight, but she is bold and imposing, there is nothing to say!
"We are the subordinates under the command of Simo at the city gate, and we were ordered to hunt down Wu San and other fugitives, someone saw someone enter your Zhuangzi, please Xu Ye open the door, we will go in and arrest the prisoner." The answer outside is extremely fast, and the momentum is not bad at all.
"First, I am an acquaintance with you Commander Mo, and Commander Mo is a subordinate, but there is no unfamiliar accent like you, and second, the guards in our house, you Commander Mo have also admired it several times, and it is much stronger than you, Wu San didn't enter our Zhuangzi, if you really want to enter, then it's good, just take it and hand it over to you Commander Mo, you can ask for a drink."
Xu Huan didn't let it go at all, he didn't know who this Mo Commander was, but it didn't matter, he would stop it first.
Xu Huan's voice fell, and several terrible and miserable shouts came from the darkness next to him: "Kill!" Murder again! ”
The shouting voice shouted almost at the same time as the screaming: "Lao Tzu doesn't talk nonsense with you, brothers, knock the door open!" ”
"This door is too thick to open."
"Go around there and have a look."
"Build a ladder."
……
A rush of heavy footsteps, mixed with various sounds, spread out from the gate to both sides.
Papaya ripped off Xu Huan, Xu Huan didn't need him to pull it, turned around and hurriedly rushed back to the yard, he was not good at the next thing, hide and don't make a mess is to help.
Jiang Shangwen and Jin Gui had already left the courtyard gate, Jiang Shangwen faced the second gate on the side, and Jin Gui stayed in the direction facing the garden. The two of them carried long knives and sticks, and they both stood at the front.
The sound of banging on the door sounded five or six times, and the footsteps had already bypassed the wall of the courtyard gate.
Jin Gui excitedly turned the iron rod in his hand and stared straight ahead.
The footsteps outside the gentleman's wall paused for a moment, and suddenly with a bang, Jiang Shangwen smacked out, "Wang Ba thing!" ”
It directly knocked down the wall of their house!
In the courtyard, Mrs. Huo's heart sank, and when she came up, she knocked down the wall, which showed that the other party's plan was simply and straightforward, and she didn't consider the way back, which was not a good sign.
"The villains are here! Here it is! Don't be afraid, old lady, we're here to save you! Rushing through the gap where he had been knocked down, a loud and surprising voice shouted several times.
"Fuck you!" Jiang Shangwen's scolding almost overpowered that loud voice.
Jin Gui held the iron rod in both hands, his body was slightly short, staring at the group of people who didn't know who was holding the gun and holding the knife, rushing towards him, and suddenly rushed forward, the head of the long stick in his hand first slashed at the neck of the person who rushed to the front, and before the blood shot out, the long stick was picked up forward, from the neck to the face, and the head and face of the person next to him were almost cut in half, and the picked up stick went down and smashed on the top of the third person's head, smashing the third person's head like a bursting watermelon.
The blood and brains of the three people burst out almost at the same time, and suddenly, the frightened screams, roars and scolding around them became chaotic.
Lao Yu, who was following Jin Gui closely, roared, and the spear in his hand stabbed into the heart of a man who rushed forward with a knife, twisted it slightly, and pulled it out hard.
The three of the old people behind him were in pairs, holding knives and guns, and rushed forward together.
"Death to those who retreat! Rush to Lao Tzu, if you don't rescue the old lady, no one wants to live! "It's still that surprisingly loud voice.
More and more people poured into the gaps in the low walls.
The momentum of the long knife in Jiang Shangwen's hand is not inferior to Jin Gui, under the whistling knife wind, blood and flesh are flying sideways, Qingliu and Mingye are on both sides of Jiang Shangwen, the narrow long knife in his hand swings up and down, and each knife swings out, or the tooth-aching puff of the person who cuts the knife into the flesh and bones, or the piercing sound of the knife and gun.
Wan Fang also used a long knife, but it was longer and heavier than Jiang Shangwen's knife, standing in front of Jiang Shangwen's side, the heavy and clumsy long knife swung extremely flexibly, like a harvester of death, every blade was bloody.
Old Madam Huo stood straight in the open courtyard gate, looking at the Shura field in front of her expressionlessly.
Up to this point, the people who rushed in were extremely weak, and it all depended on the number of people, but I was afraid that these were really the soldiers of the capital, who was that loud voice?
Old Madam Huo's heart was heavy, if these soldiers really got the military order from Shangfeng......
"These people should really be those soldiers of the City Gate Division." Xu Huan stood next to Old Madam Huo, his brows almost twisted.
"Ignore these things for now, and then kill them." Old Madam Huo replied simply, and looked intently at the Shura field.
There was a sudden chaotic exclamation behind the box soldiers, and someone screamed: "Wu San, it's Wu San!" ”
The chaos was extremely powerful, and it rushed into the battle almost instantly, and the dozens of people who rushed in cut down on sight.
The man who rushed to the front waved the wrought iron rod in Jin Gui's hand and the iron rod that was thicker than Jin Gui, and smashed it down on Jin Gui's head. Jin Gui hurriedly raised a stick to meet him, the two sticks smashed together, sparks flew everywhere, and the man scolded while smashing the stick again: "I'll fuck your mother!" ”
"I'll fuck your ancestors!" Jin Gui dodged the man's stick and stabbed it with a stick.
Several men who rushed over at the same time as the stick man slashed at Jiang Shangwen who came up.
Wan Fang snorted, slashed over a strong man with red eyes, stepped forward, crossed Jiang Shangwen, and caught up with this group of bandits who were obviously more powerful than those box soldiers.
A man who was messed up with Jiang Shangwen and Qingliu Mingye was cut on the thigh by Mingye, and suddenly roared, "It's you wild girl!" ”
Ming Ye also recognized this man who was fighting with them, it was the beasts who molested the eldest sister of the Li family that day and was beaten by them.
Ming Ye snorted coldly, the knife in his hand suddenly turned, and a knife stabbed into the man's lower abdomen, the man screamed, his eyes were round, one hand grabbed Ming Ye's shoulder, and the knife in the other hand, regardless of stabbing Ming Ye's body, wanted to die together.
Xu Huan, who had been staring at Jiang Shangwen's side, screamed, and as soon as the scream started, a spear stabbed obliquely, stabbing the man open, and the Ming Ye knife fell down, cutting off the man's hand holding the knife.
Xu Huan raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and the next moment, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and before Xu Huan could react, he saw that the old body of the man who had just helped Ming Ye stab the man suddenly fell backwards and fell straight to the ground.
"There are arrows!" At the same time as the sound of breaking the air, Mrs. Huo's sharp voice sounded.
The sound fell, and the second sound of breaking the air sounded again, Jin Gui instinctively grabbed a man who was stunned by the sudden sound of the arrow, pulled his hand into his arms, and rushed forward with his feet, almost at the same time, the sound of the sharp arrow breaking into the flesh and bones sounded, and the man who was being held by Jin Gui was shot by this arrow.
There was more than one archer, and almost at the same time as the second arrow, one shot through a sluggish bandit.
"Come back soon!" Old Madam Huo's voice revealed horror, in the face of such an archer, this is not a battle, it is a massacre.
Jin Gui lifted the corpse in his hand over his head and quickly retreated, Jiang Shangwen turned around and ran back.
The two sounds of breaking the air sounded almost at the same time, and Qing Liu, who was tightly guarding Jiang Shangwen's back, stumbled and fell to the ground. In the pile of bandits, another strong man fell to the ground with an arrow.
"Let's go!" Jiang Shangwen jerked Mingye, who paused and looked back.
Xu Huan raised his foot and threw himself out, and was pulled back by Mrs. Huo. To go out is to die.
There was almost no interval, and two more arrows rang out, one nailed to Jin Guilu's shoulder outside the corpse, and the other shot a bandit. Jin Gui snorted, and the iron rod in his hand fell to the ground.
"Quick, get in!" The bandits who were stunned by this fatal arrow reacted, and if they wanted to escape these deadly arrows, the small courtyard in front of them was the best place.
"Get your knife out! Old single! Old Madam Huo pulled out her scimitar and took a step forward.
Old Madam Huo's voice fell, and a plain and clear voice sounded: "Sister Dou, arrow!" ”
At the same time as this bland command, after a sound that broke the air even more sharply than the arrows just now, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded not far away. The second sound of an arrow breaking through the air and a heavy object falling to the ground was followed by another heavy object falling to the ground.
"Alas, old in-laws!" Old Madam Huo breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
She knew the voice very well, and her old in-laws had come.
