Chapter 22: The Return of the Father-in-law
In order to prevent Yang Yi from escaping, Huang Tan arranged a lot of manpower outside before entering the village. These people surrounded the cottage tightly, except for some people on the periphery of the east side who were killed by Lu Xiao unknowingly, there were still people guarding the rest of the directions. Now I heard the fierce shouting and killing sound from the village, and I heard someone shouting that Huangtan was dead, and these cavalrymen who stayed outside hurriedly rushed over to rescue. There were even clever petty officers who commanded their men to climb the walls of the stockade, intending to shoot the people in the village with bows and arrows.
Chen Nian's left arm must not be forced, and his kung fu will be discounted, and although Lu Xiao's martial arts are high, he needs to ensure Chen Nian's safety first, and he has to rescue other people in the village. As a result, the situation is suddenly very critical. Lu Xiao swung his knife and cut down a cavalryman on the horse, snatched the bow and arrow hanging on the side of the horse, dodged to block Chen Nian behind, and led the arrow to shoot at the person on the wall. He moved very quickly, shot accurately, and with a whistling arrow, he immediately screamed in astonishment wherever he went, and in a moment he had already shot all the officers and soldiers on the wall.
Lu Xiao turned his head sideways and said to Chen Nian: "There are too many officers and soldiers, and they can't be killed for a while, so they still have to take the horse and rush out." ”
Chen Nian unconsciously looked at Yang Yi not far away, he was holding the child in one hand and the sword in the other, and was forced to stumble by the officers and soldiers. She hesitated for a moment, but still said to Lu Xiao: "Let's save that child and go,"
"Okay." Lu Xiao responded, holding Chen Nian with one hand and waving a knife with the other, escorting her and rushing towards Yang Yi. Yang Yi has reached the limit now, his body has been cut in a few places, his clothes are full of bloodstains, he is almost desperate, when he saw Chen Nian and them coming, his face was suddenly surprised and happy, and he didn't care about the blade cut on the side, as long as he handed over the child in his arms who was already scared and crying, and shouted: "Take my sister away,"
Lu Xiao swept away the blade that had been cut over, and Chen Nian took the child into his arms and shouted, "Let everyone follow us,"
Lu Xiao protected Chen Nian behind him, and rushed to kill him outside the stockade. Those officers and soldiers saw that he was so fierce, and they all avoided on both sides, but as soon as they saw Yang Yi behind them, they were emboldened by the high bounty and chased after him.
Yang Yi looked at these officers and soldiers biting everyone tightly, and stopped his steps ruthlessly, and the stupid big man who followed him was stunned, thinking that he was scared stupid, he stretched out his hand and pulled him, and shouted: "Stupid you,"
Yang Yi shook off his arm, turned around and swung his sword and rushed forward in front of the pursuers, shouting like crazy: "I'm fighting with you," although he was thin and weak, but such a desperate fight also made him shake those ruthless officers and soldiers for a while. Silly wanted to turn around and help him, but Yang Yi shouted at him: "Go, follow them,"
His face was covered with blood, and his originally delicate face was already hideous, and while swinging his sword and slashing at those officers and soldiers without his life, he turned around and shouted to everyone to leave. Chen Nian heard his voice and turned around, wanting to turn around and save him, but at this moment, the situation did not allow her to go back to save people.
The gate of the village is in front of you, there are not many officers and soldiers blocking outside, Lu Xiao killed a few who rushed over, grabbed a mount and handed it to Chen Nian, and said urgently: "Be careful of the hidden arrow hurting people, go out and get on the horse, you take them first, I will block those chasing soldiers, and I will chase you when I turn back." After he finished speaking, he turned to his side, but Chen Nian grabbed him, looked at him deeply, and said in a dumb voice: "You be careful,"
"Hmm," Lu Xiao grinned at her, then let out a long howl, turned around and rushed back to kill.
Chen Nian looked at his back, his heart didn't feel tight, and he even had the urge to turn around and follow him to kill back, but the child in her arms was still crying, she looked down at the child, and finally gritted her teeth and got on the horse, and said to Wen Daya and others who escaped with her: "Let's go,"
At this moment, a long howl suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain, the howl was extremely loud and bright, Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, and his face couldn't help but show surprise, it was the father-in-law, the father-in-law came, and Lu Xiao, who was fighting with the officers and soldiers, also heard the whistle, and suddenly his spirit was shocked, and he made a long howl corresponding to Mu Zhanyue under the mountain. There were a few more whistling sounds from the bottom of the mountain, and it seemed that Mu Zhanyue was not alone. The men came very quickly, but it took a moment for the voice to come much closer.
Chen Nian's eyes lit up, he stuffed the child into Wen Daya's arms, and shouted, "Take care of her," After speaking, he turned around and rushed back to the village. She couldn't exert force with her left hand, so she had to swing the long knife in the army with her right hand, although it was a little difficult to slash, she still rushed to Lu Xiao's side, and shouted to him: "Come up,"
Lu Xiao slashed down a person with a knife, and with a slight tug of Chen Nian's arm on his hand, the person had already fallen behind Chen Nian lightly. He snatched the long knife from Chen Nian's hand, put it sideways, and said in a deep voice, "You come to control the horse." ”
Chen Nian held the reins with both hands and only controlled the war horse with all his heart. When the long knife arrived in Lu Xiao's hands, it was like a life, and the flexibility was incredible, and the two of them rushed back and forth to kill, but they killed those cavalrymen one after another, and they didn't dare to fight with it.
After another moment, there was a sudden scream near the gate of the village, and Chen Nian turned his head to look when he heard the sound, and saw several black-clothed knights rushing in from outside, and the current person was Mu Zhanyue, who had been missing for a long time.
The cavalry in front of Mu Zhanyue was split in half by him with just one sword, and it was the long knife that was desperately facing the past, and it was as thin as a piece of paper under Mu Zhanyue's knife. All the officers and soldiers were so frightened by Mu Zhanyue that they couldn't even resist for a while, and only rushed out in a panic, thinking that they could escape with their lives.
Mu Zhanyue never left a living mouth.
Chen Nian had only heard this rumor before, and today was the first time he had seen the real scene, and Wen Daya and the others were even more dumbfounded. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, there was no longer a single living officer or soldier in the stockade. The originally chaotic battlefield suddenly fell silent, and the screams of the people disappeared all at once, and only occasionally the mournful neighing of the war horses sounded.
Lu Xiao rushed to Mu Zhanyue's horse with his legs between the horse's belly, and habitually said a sentence in Xian's language, and suddenly thought that Chen Nian couldn't understand Xian's language, so he smiled and changed his Chinese dialect and said to Mu Zhanyue: "Thanks to you for coming." ”
Mu Zhanyue ignored him, his eyes kept falling on Chen Nian's face and did not leave.
Chen Nian's mood was very complicated, both surprised and aggrieved, and even a trace of complaint, many feelings blocked in her chest so that she couldn't speak for a while, but her eyes were red unconsciously.
Lu Xiao glanced down at Chen Nian, and then took the initiative to ask Mu Zhanyue: "How do you know that we are here?"
Mu Zhanyue retracted his gaze lightly, and was about to answer, but two Xian people who came with him came running from outside on horseback, laughing loudly in Xian's dialect, and then threw the things he was carrying to the ground. It was the heads of several Qingzhou cavalrymen, as if they had just been cut off not long ago, and there was still blood dripping on the ground, scattered on the ground.
Even Chen Nian is used to seeing life and death, and he doesn't feel a little frightened when he sees this scene, so he subconsciously doesn't overdo it. Lu Xiao was accustomed to it, and only whispered to Chen Nian to translate the words: "He said that the officers and soldiers outside are also cleaned up, and he is not afraid that they will flee back to report the news." ”
Chen Nian glanced at Mu Zhanyue, and saw that Mu Zhanyue instructed those people in Xian's dialect, and those people went to do their own things, some went outside to guard, and some people got off their horses to clean up this Shura field-like stockade. Wen Daya and the others had been standing stupidly outside the gate of the village, and only then did they come over in fright, but they bypassed the Xian people from a distance, and came over to ask Chen Nian: "Miss Xie, what should we do?"
Chen Nian jumped off the horse, first glanced at the child in Wen Daya's arms who was crying tired and fell asleep again, and then saw that there were still more than ten people alive, and saw that they were almost all hanging colors, so he said: "Don't be busy doing anything else first, I want to deal with the injuries on everyone's body." ”
With her words, Wen Daya hurriedly counted the people under him, not counting the Yang Yi brothers and sisters, there were originally nineteen people in the village, four of them died, two were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured, so the result was still thanks to Lu Xiao and Chen Nian's full rescue, otherwise everyone would have already made up on Huangquan Road.
Silly Da was still thinking about that Yang Yi, and hurriedly went to the pile of dead people to pull him out, lay on the ground and listened to his heartbeat, raised his head and shouted to Wen Daya in surprise: "Big brother, big brother, this kid is still alive, Cui Xiaoer is still alive,"
When everyone heard this, they all gathered, and even Mu Zhanyue followed Chen Nian to take a look, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and threw it directly to Wen Daya, "Feed him after the wound is bandaged, once every two hours." After speaking, he paused again, and added indifferently, "If it's dead, don't feed it anymore." ”
Although Wen Daya was afraid of the killing god in front of him and his legs and stomach cramps, he still couldn't help but slander, and secretly said that your joke is not good at all. He took the medicine bottle, and he didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but look up at Chen Nian.
Chen Young said in a young voice: "He is my father-in-law. ”
Wen Daya was relieved at this time, thanked Mu Zhanyue with a thousand thanks, and beckoned someone to hurry up to find something to bandage Yang Yi's wounds.
Lu Xiao looked at Mu Zhanyue and Chen Nian, the father and daughter, who met and didn't speak for a long time, afraid that Chen Nian was still angry with Mu Zhanyue in his heart, so after thinking about it, he came out and said, "Don't stand outside, go to the house and say something if you have something." ”
Chen Nian lowered his eyes and didn't speak, Mu Zhanyue glanced at her, and then raised his feet and walked into the hall first. Lu Xiao secretly pulled Chen Nian and pulled her to follow. Fortunately, the house is still in good condition, but there is some clutter in the house. Chen Nian stepped forward with Lu Xiao to pick up the tables and stools that had fallen to the ground, and took some firewood to rekindle the fire in the house.
Mu Zhanyue had been sitting silently watching them do things, seeing that Chen Nian only used his right arm, he frowned unconsciously, and asked her, "What's wrong with your left arm,"
"It's a little hurt, it's out of the way." Chen Nian replied nonchalantly, and asked Mu Zhanyue again: "Father-in-law, how did you get here?"
Mu Zhanyue glanced at her and replied lightly: "Feng Junyang said that you are in Qingfeng Village, and I came all the way north from Qingfeng Village." ”
