Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Ruined County Town
The stars are hiding somewhere, and the curtain of night is like a devil, revealing a hideous face. The entire county was quiet, as if it had fallen into a dead silence.
Suddenly, a loud sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, it was a fast horse, as if it had just sounded faintly, and after an instant, it had become clear and audible.
Although it was in the dark of night, the knight on the horse clearly saw the dilapidated gate of the county seat, which was a huge iron gate for ordinary people, as if it had been smashed by something heavy at the moment.
The two gates were cracked in them, and they were completely destroyed, leaving a deep black path leading straight inside.
He Yiming was already anxious, but the moment he saw this door, his heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he clamped his feet slightly, and the red ayama seemed to be in touch with him, and it became faster and faster.
Unhindered, they entered the county seat, and the loud sound of horses' hooves stepped on the stone road in the county town, and the sound of beating drums was heard, which completely broke the silence of the night.
In the county town, the scars were everywhere, and a large area of black blood stains that had already coagulated could be seen everywhere, and even more than a dozen corpses could be seen prostrate on the ground as far as his eyes could see.
Judging from the clothes on their bodies, it is clear that the ordinary people living in the county town are estimated to have no time to escape when the city is broken, so they will be killed by the horse thieves who broke into the city.
His ears moved slightly, and He Yiming, who was riding on a horse, could even hear the sound of commotion in several places nearby.
Although he didn't know whether it was the remnants of horse thieves or the people who had survived by luck who made these noises, none of this made him interested in staying.
The speed of the red silk horse is extremely fast, even much faster than the human reaction, when some people hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out with weapons, He Yiming rode the horse and disappeared without a trace.
When he passed by a mansion on the way, He Yiming's gaze stopped there for a moment.
It was no stranger to him, and he had been there many times.
Celebrating the birthday of the old man Cheng, he found that the Xu family was undercover, achieved the fire skill, and on the wedding ring, he fought Lin Taoli and secretly learned two strange seals.
It's just that the splendid and famous Cheng Mansion has been burned by a fire at this moment, and the only way to search for the past glory is from the remaining memories.
The nose twitched slightly, and there seemed to be a faint smell of burnt smell in the air, and it was clear that the mansion had not been burned down for too long.
Without stopping, He Yiming crossed the avenue and ran towards the place where the He family lived in the county seat.
In the county seat, whether it is the mighty Cheng family, or those innocent people and residents, in his heart, the only thing he is most worried about is his father and mother.
For the sake of the He family, my father and mother have been taking care of a few shops in Taicang County for decades, although the main function of these shops is just to hide people's eyes, and the main income is actually those smuggled goods, but all of this is controlled by my father in secret.
When the county seat of Taicang was broken, whether the father and mother could escape from the county seat one step earlier, this was what he was most worried about.
What he is most afraid of now is undoubtedly that when he returned to the courtyards of the He family, he saw the corpse of his father.
If this is the case, then even if he kills all those horse thieves, he will not be able to make up for this hatred.
I saw the He family's mansion, but it was dark inside, and there was not even a little light.
He Yiming's figure moved, and without waiting for the red ayama to stand firmly, his body rushed forward, and in an instant, he had already passed through the wall in front of the house and landed steadily into the courtyard.
Before he came here, he was still worried that this place would become like the Cheng family, and it would be swept away by a fire. But although the house is still there, his heart has not relaxed at all.
At the moment of entering, he was even more afraid of seeing the bodies of his parents in the house with his own eyes.
Along the way, although the county town is not full of corpses, I have seen dozens of corpses. These were all seen in the streets he passed.
If you count those who didn't see it, and those who died in the houses, then the entire county town doesn't know how many people died in this catastrophe.
At this point, He Yiming had a clear understanding of the ferocity of these horse thieves.
With a turn of his eyes, his figure was like electricity, and he walked around the various rooms, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, in the several courtyards and houses of the He family, there was not a single corpse, and the furnishings inside were not messed up much. It is conceivable that when the horse thief approached, my father and mother should have gotten the news, so they retreated so calmly.
He was about to leave, but his heart moved slightly, and he listened quietly for a moment with his head on one side.
His face changed slightly, and He Yiming strode out, but in just one step, he had already arrived in front of a rockery in the courtyard.
He stretched out a hand and put it flat on the rockery, the true qi in his body was running, and a huge force surged out like a mountain and a sea.
The rockery shook for a while, and suddenly rose from the ground, and was violently shocked by his palm.
Dust splashed, under the rockery, exposed a big hole, under the big hole, is a basement of more than ten square meters.
At this moment, in this basement, a person was looking up dumbfounded, looking at He Yiming's eyes full of horror, as if he was looking at a terrifying super devil, and even his body was trembling.
He Yiming's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "He Chen, why are you here?"
This He Chen is a servant in Hejiazhuang, and he is also a servant who is appreciated by his father He Quanming, he is an orphan, adopted by Zhuangzi, because of his flexible hands and feet, articulate, so he will stand out among the servants in Zhuangzhong, and was brought to the city by his father, and assisted his father in managing the shop in the city, which is one of the few stewards in the He family.
Now everyone in the county town has no whereabouts, but He Chen is hiding here alone, which naturally makes He Yiming very angry.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already stepped into the innate and powerful ears, he might not be able to discover the mystery under this rockery.
He Chen was stunned at first, but after hearing He Yiming's voice, his eyes immediately lit up, and he didn't even tremble his body.
"Sixth Young Master, are you the Sixth Young Master?"
"Not bad. ”
"You are indeed the Sixth Young Master. He Chen immediately jumped out of the hole, although he was gray because of the dust just now, but the joy on his face did not diminish at all.
He Yiming saw his expression, his face softened slightly, and asked, "Why are you here, my father?"
"Sixth Young Master, it was the lord and the lady who asked me to stay here. He Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This secret room was secretly built after the lord took over this mansion, and some of the soft and precious gold and silver in the city are stored in it. The lord and the lady had already left, and before leaving, they ordered the villain to stay. But ......"
He Chen looked at the rockery in the distance, which had been broken into tatters, with a bitter face, and said, "I'm afraid this secret can't be kept now." ”
He Yiming opened his mouth wide in surprise, he never thought that it would be because of this.
But at this time, no matter how much gold and silver treasure there is, it is difficult to compare it to that of parents.
"He Chen, what happened in the county seat?"
"Back to the sixth young master, we were doing business that day, and someone from the Cheng family suddenly came to report, saying that the horse thieves in Tai'a County were about to kill the door, let's hurry up and leave the county. He Chen thought for a while, and then said: "After hearing this, the master immediately ordered the door of the store to be closed, received all the valuable soft into the secret room, and ordered the villain to hide in the secret room with food to take care of it, and ordered that he was not allowed to come out no matter what, unless he waited until the food ran out, or someone from the He family came to recruit him." ”
He Yiming was worried in his heart, it seemed that this He Chen didn't know much, he asked casually: "He Chen, then do you know where my father and mother went?"
He Chen bowed slightly and said, "Sixth Young Master, before the villain entered this secret room, it seems that he heard the old man mention that he was going to Cheng's house. ”
He Yiming remembered the tragic situation of the Cheng family, and suddenly his head was buzzing, only to feel that the blood all over his body was surging towards his head, and he was almost about to burst his head.
He Chen stretched out his hand in surprise and said, "Sixth Young Master, how are you ...... Alas!"
As soon as his hand touched He Yiming's body, he was immediately shocked, fortunately, even in this situation, He Yiming was able to distinguish friend from foe, and he didn't really use True Qi, otherwise it would not be so simple.
Seeing He Chen lying on the ground in pain, He Yiming sobered up a little, he took an arrow step, came to He Chen's side, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and a stream of wood true qi turned around in his body, and immediately healed this little injury on his body.
"He Chen, you continue to do what the master said. ”
After that, He Yiming had already left like a fly.
He Chen answered, but when he turned around, he was dumbfounded.
Now the rockery has been shaken away, leaving a big black hole, I am afraid that anyone who sees it will rise up to find out, and how can he keep this secret......
※※※※
He Yiming ran towards the door like a fly, because he had already heard the neighing of the red ayama coming from outside the door. In addition, there were more than a dozen angry scoldings mixed with surprise.
"Good horse, really good horse, hurry up and catch it......"
"Oh, run over there, hurry up and block ......"
"Running here, what a fierce horse......"
Who else can catch horses at this moment, except for those unscrupulous horse thieves.
He Yiming's body silently climbed out of the wall, and as soon as he stood in the corner of the wall, the red ayama immediately found out, turned around, and the bloody hooves flew like flying, and he ran over in an instant.
Behind it, there are more than a dozen hideous-looking men, but these men are undoubtedly horse lovers, and they would rather be hit by horses than slash with weapons.
It's just that when the red ayama stopped and they saw He Yiming, they realized that something was wrong.
One of them didn't say a word, raised the big knife in his hand, and cut off his head. Looking at the fierce light flashing in his eyes, it can be seen that he has been addicted to killing in the past few days, and he can't control his hands and feet.
He Yiming's eyes widened, his upper body did not move, and he suddenly flew up.
The kick was as fast as lightning, as heavy as a spine, and it was kicked out with a bang, much faster than the man's knife.
Although the man watched He Yiming kick this kick, he just couldn't keep up with his reaction, and the thought of retreating or avoiding it just flashed in his heart, and this kick was already kicked in the chest.
Although it was only a slight tap on the tip of his foot, the man flew upside down as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.
The person was in mid-air, the big knife in his hand had fallen, and with the sound of jingling, the horse thief flew directly more than ten meters away before falling down.
The rest of the horse thieves were shocked, and the sleeves of the leader were thrown upward, and in an instant, an arrow shot straight into the sky, making a sharp whistle that resounded through the county.
He Yiming sneered again and again, he was worried that he would not be able to concentrate the horse thieves in the county, and someone would do it for him.
The leader didn't know what He Yiming was thinking at all, he was bent on delaying time, and arched his hand: "In the red scarf thief Zongkui, who is Your Excellency, why do you want to kill my brother." ”
He Yiming knew that this person was delaying time, so as to wait for his companions to converge, but the two had the same thoughts, He Yiming also sneered, and said: "You don't care who I am, I just want to know that the red scarf thieves have always been in Tai'a County, why do they want to attack Taicang County?"
Zong Kui raised his eyebrows and said, "The third leader of our red scarf thieves, Guan Wei, and the fourth master, Brother Liao, all died at the hands of the Cheng family and the He family in Taicang County. So we came with the great boss to avenge our brothers. ”
He Yiming's face became more and more cold, and said: "Avenge your brother, hehe, you can kill people, and if someone kills you, you have to take revenge, you really deserve to be a horse thief." ”
Zong Kui said coldly: "Yes, we can kill people, but people can't offend me." ”
He Yiming lowered his head and asked abruptly, "I know about Guan Wei, but what about Brother Liao? How can you be sure that it was the He family in Taicang County?" ”
Zong Kui's eyes glanced into the distance, and faintly saw the flickering torches in the distance approaching quickly, his heart was overjoyed, but his mouth was gushing: "Those fools of the He family still think that they have no one to know each other when they leave Taicang County, but they don't know that the horses they are riding have the marks of the He family in Taicang County. Our brothers who fled for their lives just had to catch up and take a sneak peek, and they would know. Hehe, the big boss was also hesitant to decide whether to run hundreds of miles and wash Taicang in blood. But after receiving the news that Brother Liao was also dead, he made up his mind to send his beloved mount to the two leaders of the Blue Sea Thieves Group, so there will be four major thieves groups and do a feat together. ”
Zong Kui's words became slower and slower, and the joy in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and at this moment, it was already full of people, dozens of people came from several directions, adding up to more than a hundred people.
One person said in a loud voice: "Zong Kui, what happened, why did you want to fire the arrow." ”
Zong Kui hurriedly said respectfully: "Li is in charge, there is an idea here, but there is a good horse." ”
Li Dangjia's eyes immediately lit up, and his eyes stared at the red ayama without blinking. As one of the horse thieves, he can certainly tell at a glance whether the horses are good or bad.
He turned his head and saw that beside the horse, there was a strange young man, and on the back of this young man there was a long strip of cloth that was an eyesore. But at this moment, he only has the red BMW in his eyes, where would he care about this guy who doesn't know the origin.
"Yes, it is indeed a good horse, I want this horse, boys, slaughter this fellow for me. ”
The horse thieves responded, and several horse thieves who were eager to make meritorious contributions drew their swords and rushed over.
However, at this moment, I saw that the expressionless young man suddenly raised his head.
At this moment, his eyes lit up like stars.
All the horse thieves were stunned, and for some reason, looking at these eyes, their hearts were filled with an indescribable chill.
A smile overflowed from the corner of He Yiming's mouth, and in this smile, there seemed to contain unimaginable remorse and resentment.
He slowly opened his mouth and said softly: "Uncle, it was my mistake, it turns out that it is right to eliminate evil." ”
Although his words were not heavy, more than 100 people were clearly audible, and many horse thieves looked at each other, this person would not be scared stupid, but why was their hearts full of chills at a loss?
Suddenly, in front of them, the figure of this young man had disappeared from their sight.
"Ah......h
The terrible screams pierced the night sky, and everyone saw a flower, as if a person had been thrown high into the night sky and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the screams were contagious, one after another.
Many horse thieves shouted angrily, wanting to surround and kill the man, but they soon found that they could not keep up with the rhythm of this person at all, just a moment later, more than 100 people actually fell most of them, only more than a dozen people with unique vision, seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately fled.
Li was shocked, and was about to stay away, but he felt a sinking on his body, and suddenly his legs were weak and he fell to his knees.
He Yiming's hand was on his shoulder, and his voice was like ten thousand years of ice: "After you broke the city, where are the Cheng family?"
Li Dangjia was terrified, and subconsciously said: "My lord, spare my life, after we broke the city, everyone in the Cheng family has fled to Xujiabao together with the people of the He family?"
"Xujiabao, are the people of the He family also there? ”
"Exactly, there is news from the big bosses that the core children of the three major families in Taicang County are gathered in one place and are defending in Xujiabao. ”
He Yiming's mind suddenly appeared with the tall city wall of Xujiabao, and his heart was slightly peaceful.
"How many of you four horse thieves are there?"
Li Dangjia hesitated for a moment, and suddenly felt a strong force rushing from his shoulder, and it suddenly hurt into the bone marrow. Moreover, the other party's powerful momentum was like a substance, and it destroyed his will to resist in an instant.
In the face of the innate powerhouse, even this strong mental pressure is not something that everyone can bear.
"It adds up to more than five thousand. ”
"How's the strength?"
"Five masters of the tenth layer of internal strength, dozens ......of masters of the eighth and ninth layers"
He Yiming's heart became colder and colder, the horse thieves combined could have such a strong strength, this was simply incredible, it was even stronger than a thousand-year-old family.
"What's the situation in Xujiabao?"
"The letter from the big boss tonight has been surrounded for five days, and several gaps have been made, and a general attack will be launched tomorrow morning, and the ...... will definitely be captured."
"Hehe, you must be able to take it?" He Yiming burst out laughing, his voice full of murderous intent.
Li Dangjia knew that something was wrong, and shouted with the last glimmer of hope: "The adults spare their lives, and the villains will never dare to be horse thieves again." ”
He Yiming's eyes were cold, and he said, "I have missed it once, and I will definitely not make a mistake a second time." ”
His figure jumped high, and he didn't even care about riding the red silk horse, so he galloped away in the direction of Xujiabao like a cloud in mid-air.
Behind him, Li Dangjia's body shook twice, and finally softened, just like the countless people he had killed, he couldn't get up again!
