Chapter 25, Death Comes So Easily
Dozens of soldiers on horseback crowded the open space outside the wooden house, which was engulfed in raging flames, blooming with an orange-red light that stained everything around it with an orange-red color, and the soldiers in armor seemed to be dressed in beautiful neon clothes.
The first non-commissioned officer sat on a tall horse, with a sword at his waist, wearing dark armor, and a gray-white cloak, wearing a British crown, and a square mouth and broad face, which looked a little powerful. The non-commissioned officer frowned and glanced at this tragic scene full of corpses, then fell on Guan Sheng in the field, and said: "I am Qian Xu, the deputy lieutenant of Zhaowu in the closed city! What happened here? Why is there such a tragic situation, you two are telling the truth!"
Guan Sheng frowned slightly and looked at Li Yuyi wiping the blood stains on his hands, where could the blood filth stained on the sleeve robe be be wiped off, and he felt a little bored in his heart, hearing the words of this Zhaowu lieutenant named Qian Xu, he slowly turned his head to look over, but did not speak.
Li Yuyi just carefully grabbed Guan Sheng's hand and gently wiped the blood, all his thoughts were on Guan Sheng's hand, and he didn't pay attention to Qian Xu at all.
"Are these two people stupid!?" Qian Xu muttered to himself when he saw that the two teenagers in front of him did not respond to him, and muttered to himself.
"My lord!!" At this time, a soldier next to Qian Xu held a scroll, showed the portrait on the scroll to Qian Xu, and said, "These two are the fugitive suspects who are being hunted for a reward!"
Qian Xu took the scroll and looked at it, with a smile on his face, took out a jade cup from his cuff, played with it, and said to Guan Sheng: "This jade cup was pawned by you to the pawnshop in the city, right? This is a thing in the palace! In this way, the two of you are Ye Xuan, the son of the right prime minister Ye Wei, and his servants! Hahaha! The right prime minister conspired against the king, and his crime should be punished by the nine clans, I never thought that the two of you could escape from the imperial city in a short period of time! There's a girl on top of this scroll, where did your sister flee?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!?How can we be from the right prime minister's family!" Li Yuyi saw that the blood on Guan Sheng's hands was almost wiped off, raised his head, and glared at Qian Xu and said.
"At this point, do you still have to quibble? Aren't you going to pawn this jade cup? Besides, the portrait of Bangwen is the same! If you know each other, you can surrender at this moment, and you can still escort the whole corpse left by the beheading of the imperial city!" Qian Xu sneered, flipped the scroll in his hand, and faced Guan Sheng and Li Yuyi.
Guan Sheng lowered his eyes slightly, and saw that the people painted on the scroll were himself and Li Yuyi, but the content of the list was strange, and it actually wrote that Ye Xuan, Ye Fei, the children of Ye Wei, the former prime minister of the right prime minister, and their entourage. Seeing this notice, Guan Sheng's mind changed, and he knew that the family of Ye Wei, the right prime minister, was afraid that he had already suffered, and the rebels used this as an excuse to post a notice to arrest him.
"Hey......" sighed heavily, expressing condolences for the loyal right prime minister Ye Wei, Guan Sheng gently shook off Li Yuyi's hand and said to him: "Pick up the ground with a knife!"
"Hmm!?" Li Yuyi didn't understand what Guan Sheng meant, did Guan Sheng want to fight these people? These people were not ordinary robbers, but soldiers in the locked city. Its combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to these bandits, if Guan Sheng fights with him, what if there is a mistake, what if there is a mistake? However, at this time, there is absolutely no other way to escape this difficulty. Li Yuyi had to take a few steps forward and squatted down to pick up the Pu knife on the ground.
!!At this time, a sharp arrow flew quickly, directly inserting it next to the Pu knife.
"Stop!!! If there is any more action, I will kill you and bring you back!" Qian Xu saw that Li Yuyi was about to pick up the Pu knife, and immediately yelled, and a soldier beside him wound his bow and arrow again.
"My lord, maybe they want to kill themselves!" another soldier next to Qian Xu took the scroll and reminded Qian Xu in a low voice.
"Hugh is going to release the arrows! Let Deputy Lieutenant Ben personally arrest these two people! This is ten thousand taels of gold!" Qian Xu sat down on the horse with his legs between his legs, and shouted "Drive" and rushed towards Guan Sheng. Although the announcement on the list does not state whether the arrest of Ye Xuan, the son of the right prime minister, is life or death, it is better to live than to die. It is also troublesome to keep the dead, and when the time comes, when the time comes, when they die, those officials do not admit the account and do not hand over 10,000 taels of gold, which is in vain. Therefore, for the sake of the ten thousand taels of gold, Qian Xu hurriedly galloped away, he didn't realize what danger these two teenagers who seemed harmless to humans and animals would be, and he didn't think about how these robbers all over the ground died tragically at this time, in his eyes, these two teenagers were no longer people, but two piles of bright gold.
"Young master!" When Qian Xu rushed towards Guan Sheng, Li Yuyi had already picked up the Pu knife on the ground and handed it to Guan Sheng.
Guan Sheng took the Pu knife, Qian Xu arrived quickly, only thinking that Guan Sheng was ready to commit suicide, he hurriedly jumped off the horse to grab the Pu knife.
"Zheng!!" However, what shocked everyone was that a cold light flickered, and the Pu knife in Guan Sheng's hand set off a gust of wind, Qian Xu's head rolled to the ground like a ball, blood splashed out like a fountain from his broken neck, and the headless body "plopped" to the ground.
A chill of fear struck and made all the soldiers shiver.
"Vomit !!" Li Yuyi couldn't accept such a bloody and terrifying scene anymore, and her heart was extremely nauseous, and she vomited when she opened her mouth when she lay next to her.
"Crackling!!" the forest suddenly became silent, except for the sound of the "whirring" wind carrying the sound of the burning wooden houses beside it.
"Tick!!Tick !!" In the silence, the sound of water droplets suddenly sounded.
In the hands of the young man, on the very ordinary Pu knife, the blood contaminated by the killing of Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant Qian Xu fell from the tip of the knife to the ground drop by drop, melting into the pool of blood on the ground, making the sound of water droplets, rippling small ripples.
"Kill that kid!!" One of the soldiers, who was holding the scroll, was the first to turn his mind and shouted at Guan Sheng.
"Whew!!" the soldier who had already wound the arrow loosened his fingers, and the sharp arrow was the first to shoot at Guan Sheng.
"Cong !!" Guan Sheng tilted his head slightly, and slowly raised the Pu knife in his hand, and the sharp arrow actually hit the surface of the Pu knife directly, as if it had been arranged in advance.
"Chong, !!" Seeing that Guan Sheng would block the sharp arrow, everyone was shocked again, but they didn't think about it, in order to avenge the deputy lieutenant Qian Xu, and also for the sake of ten thousand taels of gold, they shouted and pulled out the saber at their waists, roared and raised the blade, and rushed to Guan Sheng. Of course, they only thought that Qian Xu was killed by this young man, but Qian Xu was defenseless, and they didn't know how terrifying Guan Sheng was.
In fact, Qian Xu was on guard when he went to snatch the blade in Guan Sheng's hand, worried that Guan Sheng would take the opportunity to give him a knife, but he didn't care about such a weak teenager at all, whether the boy committed suicide or swung the knife at him, he believed that he could catch it. It's just that what he never expected was that when he saw Guan Sheng swinging the Pu knife in his hand at him, he didn't have time to react at all, that speed, like a light, in front of him, his head fell, he didn't know what was going on, death came so easily.
"Whew...... Hu ...... "Guan Sheng made this action, killing so many people in a while, his body has not fully recovered, he can't help but feel a little tired, and now he gasped for breath, and stuck the Pu knife in his hand on the ground, supporting his body, as if he was standing unsteadily.
"Young master, be careful!! Li Yuyi vomited for a while, wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth, turned his head and saw that Guan Sheng's situation was wrong, and the dozens of menacing soldiers had already swept by flying horses, and couldn't help but be very worried, and yelled at Guan Sheng.
