Chapter 249: Red Lotus
The dark night seems to be smeared with thick ink on the sky.
The shadowy grass hut next to it is suddenly connected to the night, like a monster lurking in the dark, with teeth and claws.
The sound of footsteps was mixed with the rattling of armor blades.
Lian Zhe saw countless black shadows, surrounding them from all directions.
His brain buzzed, and he instantly broke out in a hot sweat.
I was stunned for a while, and I didn't even hear what the people around me were anxiously asking.
The people of the whole yard are like flies that have blown up their nests.
The guards guarded their masters, trying to leave from elsewhere, but found that the doors everywhere were blocked.
Lian Zhe heard the sound of his teeth chattering.
"No way, this can't be." He muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he was shocked, and turned his head around to look for Steward Ding.
Steward Ding, who had said that he was going to come out to investigate, was nowhere to be found, and even the people with him did not know when they were all gone.
Even Zhe felt like his brain was going to explode.
He looked stiffly out of the courtyard.
In the darkness outside, there was a little fire.
Then, more torches were lit one after another, and countless black-armored soldiers whose faces could not be seen clearly emerged from the darkness like sculptures.
The flame of light shone on the faces of the group.
At the foreground, stood a man who was not very tall, half of his face was covered with scars, and he looked like a demon in the flickering light of the fire.
And the steward Ding he was looking for just now was standing next to the man.
Lian Zhe moved his eyes to the side and saw another person, and his brain suddenly exploded, his body shook several times, and he almost fell headlong.
The man dressed as a scribe was Wang Jin.
Wang Jin's sleeves were lifted to his shoulders, and he was still the same as before, and he was holding his shoulders with Steward Ding, giggling and saying something.
They have known each other for a long time, they are in a group.
From beginning to end, it was a trap.
This realization made Lian Zhe tremble uncontrollably, and his whole body was cold.
He felt like a rabbit walking into a trap, almost suffocating with the ropes in the trap by the neck.
There was a noise in the distance, and the flow of water that the black-armored soldiers gathered silently gave way to a path.
A simple double-wheeled oxcart slowly approached, and the brass bells hanging from the carriage shook gently as the ox cart advanced.
As the car stopped, the curtain opened, revealing the white jade-like faces of the people in the car.
Lian Zhe's chest was stuffy, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth like an arrow, and the whole person fell to the wall.
But before he could fall, he was dragged up by one hand.
The people who had flattered and praised him before grabbed him by the placket of his clothes, questioned him fiercely, and scolded angrily.
"Even the thief, mistake me!"
A fist was enlarged in Lian Zhe's eyes, and he was as soft as a noodle, and he couldn't avoid it, and he was smashed all over his face.
He looked up and saw that it was the head of the Guo family who had been calling him a virtuous nephew before.
The usual personable old man, like a madman, wept his beard.
With one person taking the lead, countless punches and kicks fell on Lian Zhe's body like raindrops.
Lian Zhe lay on the ground with his head in his hands, curled up.
"Quick, shout, we are all being deceived by this thief father and son."
Someone said loudly: "Any conditions can be discussed, and any conditions are willing to be given!" ”
There were more and more people shouting, and the courtyard was noisy.
Gongsun Yan heard the commotion there, and turned his head amusefully to look at the two people next to him.
In line with the principle that it can be temporarily useless but must be there, the shadows scattered in Lingzhi City have played a great role.
The two most important instigators in this incident were indeed from her deployment.
She didn't expect these two to play so well.
couldn't help but smile and bent his eyes and praised: "The two of you have done a good job, good acting skills!" ”
Steward Ding said modestly: "Where is it, it is Yan Niangzi who is well deployed. ”
Wang Jin also said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Zhang Zhulai reported: "Yan Niangzi, the people in the courtyard shouted that they would like to have a good life to discuss. ”
Everyone in the courtyard craned their necks, waiting for a response from outside.
Lian Zhe got up from the ground with his face covered in blood, climbed up the wall again, and looked at it.
The rules of the family, which he had been taught since childhood, told him that people from the outside would not do anything bad.
If you violate the rules that have always been tacitly accepted, you will undoubtedly be cut off from the world.
Lian Zhe expected that no one in the world would dare to commit such a taboo.
He wondered what the price his family would pay.
I saw Steward Ding and Wang Jin both standing in front of the girl and saluting.
Lian Zhe felt a churn in his chest again, and forcibly swallowed a mouthful of hot blood.
Under the firelight, the girl's white jade was carved.
In the past, Lian Zhe had to think about it and think about how to get it.
But at this moment, he felt that the woman was like a monster in the mountains, an abyss demon.
Beneath the beautiful skin, lies an abominable monster.
He saw the girl turn around, look relaxed and smile, and take a few steps forward.
Lian Zhe cleared his throat and wanted to tell the girl that they should sit down and settle the matter with the family's methods with dignity.
But his look of anticipation was fixed on his face.
He saw that the girl was dressed in plain white, and her white wrists like tender branches poked out, slowly raised, and then waved down.
With this action, countless armorers behind her were ordered, and arrows tied to strips of cloth were lit on the torches.
"No—"
A terrible cry broke the silence.
The arrows of fire shot into the air, cutting through an arc, like a shower of stars falling to the ground.
The beating flames joined into waves of fire at unimaginable speeds, engulfing the howling creatures in the process.
The flames are like infernal red lotuses, stretching their petals in the dark night.
The sparkling sparks were swept into the air by the wind and then set again.
The flames burned and beeped, mingled with a tooth-wrenching scream.
Gongsun Yan lowered his eyes and put his hands into his sleeves.
She maliciously forced her to take a tough attitude, wrote the script, and rehearsed the big play, not to negotiate with these fools.
Talk? Talk about a fart.
Minerals, manors, houses, tribes, shades, craftsmen......
She wants them all!
Extortion, how can it be as fast as raiding homes and destroying doors.
This fire can also temporarily burn away the unstable factors of Lingzhi, so that she can temporarily feel at ease.
Thick smoke rose up, and Gongsun Yan raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose.
"An Yuan, be careful not to let the fire spread." She told Zhang, "Don't leave anyone alone." ”
"Afterwards, the body should be cleaned."
"Yes!" He replied with his head bowed.
The joy of harvest and the sense of accomplishment......
There is also a little guilt for killing so many people.
Complex emotional hedge, Gongsun Yan smelled the smell of burning in the air, and he was a little sick to his stomach.
turned around and returned to the car, and took Steward Ding, Wang Jin and others to Dongcheng.
Before leaving, she gently lifted the curtain on the car window and looked back again.
Flames leaped into her pale eyes, and finally she closed them and lowered the curtains.
