Chapter 17: Doing the Way for Heaven
Zhang Xiao pulled out his waist knife and stood up in front of Qian Biao, and said to his subordinates behind him without looking back: "You protect the adults and go first, I will block him!"
Qian Biao didn't answer, just "hehe" sneered, he rubbed the blood stains on his hands at random on the hem of his robe, and slowly took out a weird-looking finger tiger from his arms and put it on.
"Zhang Xiao, step aside!" A cold voice came from behind him, but it was Deputy Military Master Fang Yu who turned his horse's head and walked back.
Fang Yu glanced at Qian Biao indifferently and asked, "It's not easy to practice martial arts, do you want to die here?"
"Hehe!" Qian Biao couldn't help laughing a few times: "It's up to you?"
He pointed at Fang Yu and the other guards and smiled disdainfully: "Don't waste Master Qian's time, you can go together!"
Fang Yu shook his head with regret, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiao, take your people back!"
"My lord! Zhang Xiao was a little confused, but seeing Fang Yu's serious face, not like a joke, he led his subordinates to slowly retreat behind Fang Yu.
The focus of the field was completely focused on Fang Yu alone, and everyone realized that Fang Yu was not empty, he was holding a long wooden box in his arms, the box was about more than one meter long, and its patterns were simple and realistic, and the things contained in it were not like ordinary products.
"Little white face, if you have any tricks, Qian Ye will take it all!" Qian Biao licked his lips and mocked, his eyes staring at the wooden box in Fang Yu's arms, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes.
Fang Yu opened the wooden box, and a blue long sword lay quietly inside, it was the one that Xuan Yi had seen in the sword hiding room before, but for some reason it appeared in Fang Yu's hand.
"Heavenly reincarnation, good and evil are rewarded!" Fang Yu held the hilt of the sword with one hand and sang loudly, he pointed at Qian Biao with his sword with a little regret and said: "Lead you back to Honglu!"
As his words fell, a blue sword shot straight out, and instantly disappeared from Qian Biao's eyebrows, who still had a smile on his face.
"Let's go!" Fang Yu greeted lightly, and the group of hands that stood still came back to their senses to protect Fang Yu's side.
"The master who has practiced the Yin Dragon Claw is barely qualified to be ranked as a twenty-eight-star general. Fang Yu put away his sword and muttered to himself, drove his horse towards the city gate, and the road was smooth and unobstructed.
Qian Biao stiffened for a moment, and then the surface of his skin continued to bulge like an earthworm, and his whole face was abnormally blue and purple. After a long time, his throat moved, the blue light in his eyes retracted, and he bowed his head to Fang Yu, who had already gone away.
"Boss, still not chasing!" Qian Biao's soldiers gathered around him after dispersed the fleeing crowd, and one of the soldiers asked suspiciously.
Qian Biao straightened up, patted the dust on his body, and said sharply: "Haven't you heard of poor Kou Mo chasing? Besides, didn't the Lord of the Overseer order the slaughter of the city? What are you doing standing here stupidly?"
"Yes!" the soldiers were ordered to draw their weapons and continue to slaughter the townspeople who had no ability to resist.
Qian Biao looked at the direction of Fang Yu's disappearance thoughtfully, feeling the strong internal force surging in his body, and a seed called ambition in his heart was also quietly growing.
When Xuanyi rushed to the town guard mansion, he found that the palace had been surrounded by the soldiers of the forward battalion, which was a duplex house with a huge area and a stone wall more than one zhang high. Danyang guarded Su Renwei, a group of family members and hundreds of family members were stubbornly guarding inside, making the last resistance.
Yang Wushu and the commander of the central guard, Bo Cunxu, were arguing loudly about something, and when they saw Xuanyi coming alone, the two of them came forward and bowed.
Xuanyi waved his finger and pointed to his eyes and wondered: "Old Yang Lao Bo, why are you two besieging but not attacking?"
Without waiting for Bo Cunxu to speak, Yang Wushu preemptively shouted: "My lord, more than half of my brothers have died in this siege, and there are more than 100 seriously injured and disabled, I beg your lord to hand over this final task of attacking the government to our avant-garde!"
"Hehe!" Bo Cunxu on the side sneered: "Lao Yang, your brothers are all dead, I'm afraid that the last bit of your avant-garde blood will be folded here, do you want me to lend you a few hundred people?"
"Old Bo, don't fight, this time the first work must be mine!" Yang Wushu said categorically, he turned his head and stared at Xuanyi with burning eyes, waiting for him to give an order.
Xuanyi almost didn't think about it and blurted out: "Lao Yang, the task of attacking the government will be handed over to you, and you must not make any mistakes!"
Yang Wushu replied loudly with a happy face: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will take down this nest of thieves!"
Yang Wushu trotted towards the avant-garde troops in the distance, Bo Cunxu looked at Xuanyi's face, although he was unwilling, he still didn't speak after all.
The avant-garde troops in the distance shouted loudly, although there were only more than 300 people left, but under the mobilization of Yang Wushu and Zhou Kenan, the morale of the soldiers was quite high.
"Shoot these thieves to death!" With Zhou Kenan's order, hundreds of throwing guns were thrown towards the mansion. After a while, I heard screams coming from the palace, and the guns were full of force, easily penetrating the roof and smashing the doors and windows.
The throwing of guns and crossbows lasted for more than a dozen rounds, and the last line of defense of the stubborn family members was broken, and many people lost their lives in the ruins of the sawdust.
"Brothers, kill me in! Drag out the thieves who are still alive!" Yang Wushu changed into a light leather armor, held two short knives in his hands, and led his subordinates to climb over the wall with a roar.
Xuanyi only vaguely heard a few weapons clashing from inside, and then calmed down. Immediately after that, the two forward battalion soldiers pushed open the heavy vermilion lacquer gate from the inside, and Xuanyi knew that the battle was over.
Xuanyi stood outside the door and did not enter the town guard mansion that symbolized the highest power center of Danyang Town for the first time, because a luxurious carriage in the distance was driving unhurriedly towards this side, and dozens of tall guards and guards in fresh clothes and angry horses were late.
Gonggong An stepped on the thigh of a guard and lifted the curtain down, he smiled and looked at Xuanyi and asked, "General Chu, but you won?" Seeing that he had won, Gonggong An, who was in a good mood, looked at Xuanyi quite pleasing to the eye, and his title naturally changed from "Commander Chu" to "General Chu".
Xuanyi hurriedly bowed and saluted, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he had to flatter: "Thanks to An Gong's command, he was able to defeat the thief!"
Gonggong An laughed when he heard this, he stretched out a white finger and pointed at Xuanyi's head and said: "General Chu is really a leader of the younger generation, and our family will definitely report this matter to Your Majesty completely after returning to Beijing!"
Just as Xuanyi and An Gongxu and Wei Snake were touting each other, there were several exclamations from the courtyard inside.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! The thieves set themselves on fire! Go get some water!" There was a shout from the vanguard battalion in the inner courtyard, and Xuanyi and the others couldn't help but change their faces and hurriedly rushed to find the sound.
A small wooden two-story building in front of me has been lit with a raging flame, the vigorous flames soon engulfed the first floor is spreading rapidly towards the second floor, the plaque in the middle of the second floor is written "Wendao Pavilion" three words, I think this small building is mostly used for book collection only, which is why such a fire can be quickly ignited in a short time.
"Commander Chu, what's going on?" Gonggong An looked at Xuanyi, who was also confused, with a blue face, and reprimanded: "What about the thief leader? A living thief head is more important than a body of coke!"
"My lord, there's a man there!" the sharp-eyed soldier pointed to an old man sitting on the top of the second floor.
The old man sat calmly on a futon on the second floor, holding a book in his hand, he looked at the fierce soldiers below, his eyes were a little pity, and he muttered: "The decaying Liang Dynasty will eventually perish, and the world of fairness and justice, and co-governance and prosperity is coming!"
He put down the book in his hand and looked into the distance for a long time: "Although I can't see it this day, isn't it a pleasure to go first for the Tao?"
A knowing family member pointed to the old man and said flatteringly to the soldier beside him: "My lord, this person is the thief head Danyang Town Guard Huang Defu!"
"Oh?" Gonggong An was overjoyed when he heard this, he jumped up and grabbed his robe and said excitedly: "The thief head is on it, I don't care what method you use, I want to live!
Xuanyi looked at Xiao Lou, who was completely engulfed in flames, and made a difficulty, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"I'll go!" A thick voice came, and a figure wrapped in a marching blanket rushed into the sea of fire alone, Xuanyi looked fixedly, but it was the avant-garde commander Yang Wuving.
