Chapter Forty-Eight: Inhumane

Li Junming hurriedly asked the two hundred guards to protect the old and young women and children in front and back, and wanted to rush into the North Taihang with all his strength, but who knew that there were archers in ambush on the mountain walls on both sides of the road. Sharp arrows fell like rain, and most of the soldiers and horses of Qingfeng Village were shot and killed in an instant, and the rest of the people also died tragically under the swords of the officers and soldiers, leaving only the old and young women and children in the middle. Who knew that those officers and soldiers did not even let go of these people, and they would cut people when they caught them with knives, except for some young women who were left behind, and even young children were not spared.

Qiu San's survival was all a fluke. He had been sitting in Aunt Yan's cart, and because he didn't like everyone because of his flamboyant tongue, the women made a plan to play him, and when he was fast forward to the flying dragon, he deliberately instructed him to fetch water in the distance, thinking that he would chase the cart. Who knew that it was such an unintentional joke that saved Qiu Sanyi's life, and when he chased him to the valley mouth, the guards in the stockade had already fought with the officers and soldiers.

He was timid and nimble, so frightened that he immediately retreated back into the valley, and did not dare to move until the officers and soldiers escorted the living people eastward. Qiu San cried as he spoke, his face was covered with tears and snot, and he cried: "All dead, all dead!" Aunt Yan, sister-in-law Ma, the old people and children didn't let go, and hundreds of people were killed! Officers and soldiers are killed everywhere with blood, and it is like hell on earth. ”

Chen Nian's eyes were red, but there was fire in his pupils, his hands were tightly clenched into fists at his sides, his whole body trembled faintly, and he asked in a hissed voice, "The child didn't let it go?" ”

"No, no." Qiu San cried and shook his head, his legs were so weak that he couldn't support his body, so he could only sit on the ground. He is not a good person, but he is just stealing chickens and dogs to make a living, but he has never done anything evil, let alone seen such a scene of killing people like chopping vegetables and cutting melons.

Before going to Qingfeng Village, he thought in his heart that these mountain bandits were extremely vicious people. But when I really entered the village, I found that everyone was just ordinary people who were forced by life to get along, and they would talk to him with a smile and call him brothers. Those who have a family are worried about keeping their wives and children fed and clothed, and those who are singles dream of marrying a daughter-in-law one day.

Since hundreds of years ago, Qingfeng Village has been based on the word "righteousness", and the village has its own industry, which can support most of the people. Occasionally rob passing caravans, but they just leave some money to buy roads, which can easily not hurt people's lives. Sometimes when I met the poor people, the village would even give some dry food. These people, who say they are bandits, are actually just poor people living in the mountains!

But such a group of defenseless old and weak women and children died tragically under the knives of officers and soldiers. Chen Nian Tie blushed, gritted his teeth and walked towards the mount without saying a word. Feng Junyang hurriedly grabbed her from behind, and said hurriedly: "Chen Nian, calm down!" ”

Chen Nian turned his head to look at him with tears in his eyes, and asked him in a hoarse voice: "Those were the people around me, living people, I call them aunts, call them mother-in-law." They watched me grow up. When my stepfather was away, they would give me food when I was hungry, and at night I would sleep on the kang in their house when I was afraid. There are also those sisters who have grown up with me since childhood, and Xiaoyanagi, who are still in the hands of officers and soldiers, how can you tell me to calm down? ”

Feng Junyang looked at her calmly and said, "That's why you should be more calm." You went to save them, not to die. ”

Chen Nian's nasal cavity was sore, Feng Junyang had already hugged her into his arms, patted her back gently with his hand, and said softly: "Cry, since you feel uncomfortable, it's good to cry, and after crying, let's think about how to save people." Remember, the more anxious things are, the calmer people will be. ”

Chen Nian's back was still straight, "I don't cry, it's useless to cry!" She heard Qiu San's crying behind her, turned around viciously to look at him who was still sitting on the ground, and said coldly: "Don't cry!" Get up and wipe away your tears! ”

Qiu San hurriedly got up and wiped his face with his sleeves, "I don't cry, I listen to your orders!" ”

Chen Nian's eyebrows furrowed and asked him, "Can you ride a horse?" ”

Qiu San nodded hurriedly and said, "The little one!" ”

"That's good!" Chen Nian handed the reins of his mount into his hand and explained to him word by word: "You ride back to the village, tell the big boss what you have seen and heard, and ask him to send someone to save people as soon as possible." I'll chase after it first and leave a mark on the road. Go! Just go! Don't stop on the road, be sure to send the news back to the village as soon as possible! ”

Qiu San hurriedly climbed onto the horse, turned the horse's head and rushed in the direction of Qingfeng Village.

Chen Nian turned back to look at Feng Junyang, but he didn't know what to do with him for a while. He lost all his martial arts, and he was such an identity, so he couldn't go with her to save people. But if he were left alone in this mountain, it would be very dangerous.

"Azer, I..." she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

"Chen Nian, have you ever thought that this matter was too coincidental?" Feng Junyang asked suddenly, his face was calm and there was no joy or anger, and his voice was as calm and calm as ever, "How could the Jizhou army ambush there so coincidentally?" ”

Chen Nian pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, "I understand what you mean, but I have no other choice at the moment. ”

It's not that she didn't see that there was a big problem with this matter, the Jizhou army was so accurately ambushed, as if they had already known Qingfeng Village's plan, and then waited here in advance. Even though Li Junming has been on guard in every possible way, he still has not escaped the fate of death. Even if Qiu San survived, who knows if the other party deliberately let him go back to report the news?

Feng Junyang glanced at her and said lightly: "Perhaps, this 'Jizhou' army is not from Jizhou. ”

Chen Nian looked up at him abruptly and asked, "How do you say this?" Are you saying that the Jizhou Army was pretended by someone else? ”

Feng Junyang nodded slightly, and said: "Xue Shengying is still leading troops in the south of Qingfeng Village, is it possible that there is a special detachment of men and horses to guard the Flying Dragon Clan?" If it is said that he intends to sneak attack from the north and attack Qingfeng Village on both sides, there are too few of these people. Maybe it's not him, or even Jizhou..."

The officers and soldiers in Feilong are not from Jizhou, where else can they be? Chen Nian heard what he meant and asked, "You mean that these officers and soldiers are from Qingzhou?" ”

"Not necessarily." Feng Jun replied slowly.

Chen Nian thought about it but felt impossible, "No, since Zhang Kuisu killed Xue Zhi for Yang Chengcai, the two of them have already formed an alliance, why did Yang Cheng come to kill the family members in the village?" ”
