The snow had been pouring down all night, and the ground was covered with a thick layer.

The people of Linyu didn't dare to light the lamp, and the family hugged each other, listening to the shouts and killings and the sound of chaotic horses' hooves from time to time outside, and they were terrified all night.

The sun rises over the horizon, and the skylight casts on Linyu City.

The residents, who had been on the guard all night, were surprised to find that the voices outside gradually subsided.

There were no rebels rushing into the village, no rape and plunder.

Under the organization of the lieutenant chief, the young man who guarded the gate stood on the wall.

From a distance, I saw the rising pillars of smoke in the city dissipate, and someone was organizing a firefight.

The shivering young man rubbed his frozen hands vigorously.

Relatives at home piled up his outer robes on top of him to ensure that he would not freeze to death in the cold night.

But when he stood guard on the watchtower of the walled gate, he was still so cold that his teeth were rattling.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from the corner of the street, and he was in good spirits.

But I heard someone reading out the notice in a neat and majestic voice.

A team of black-armored knights, walking on the long street, held aloft a notice issued by the county government in their hands.

Behind the horses of these black-armored knights, a few bloodied men were led with leather ropes.

The men were clasped by the ks at the wrists, and stumbled after the knights.

A little weak leg couldn't keep up, and when he fell on his heels, no one cared about him, so he dragged him on the long street and was drenched in blood.

The knights shouted: "Now I order the captains to obey the order, close the door of the fang, control the people, and do not leave without a reason." ”

"Take advantage of the chaos to burn and kill those who disturb the people, and so on!"

After saying that, a soldier turned over and dismounted in the middle of the road, and pulled an unkempt man from behind the horse.

The man was not wearing pants, his legs were bare, he had lost half his life, and he still subconsciously begged in his mouth: "Master Jun, spare me, I don't dare anymore." ”

"This person's name is Ren Guo, who lives in Yongxingfang, sneaked into the neighbor's house last night, raped and killed five neighbors, and now beheaded him according to the routine." The black-armored sergeant shouted.

After saying that, he kicked the crying man to the ground.

A foot stepped on his calf, and a black-gloved hand grabbed his hair bun, forcing him to kneel in the street.

The long knife breaks through the wind and slashes down.

The headless corpse fell to the street, and the blood in the cavity fanned out from the pressure, staining the ground with a large patch of snow.

A human head hit the ground, gurgling twice on the ground, and staring blankly at the sky.

The bloody act of killing people in the street by the black-armored knight made the young man standing on the watchtower covered in blood, and most of his hostility and vigilance against them dissipated.

Seeing that the black-armored knight had killed someone, he slowly put away the blood-stained leather rope, then picked up the notice and walked to the door, looked at the young man upstairs, and hurriedly ran down to report to the chief.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Although the lieutenant said that he had received the young man's report, he was still very apprehensive when he opened the door.

He lightly opened a crack in the door, and looked at the tall black-armored sergeants through the gap.

The sergeants were not annoyed, but stood there and let him see.

The first thing that caught the chief's eye was the black armor and thick uniforms on the sergeants.

The black armor with a fierce beast pattern engraved on the chest gives people the first impression that they are rich!

Although it is wrong to respect Luo Yi first and then others, it is sometimes useful.

With the first impression that these soldiers were very rich, the chief was a little bolder, and opened the door with a confession.

After all, they are on the verge of poverty, and there is nothing worth grabbing.

"Don't be afraid."

These officers and soldiers who had just killed people were still bloody, but they were very friendly.

The leading officer handed over a notice stamped with a red seal, and informed him that after the war, Lifang would be closed for three days to clean up the city of rebels and soldiers.

The official army also told the lieutenant governor that during the lockdown period, a temporary pavilion would be set up in the middle of each lieutenant.

As he spoke, he pointed out a direction and said, "If the rebels are flowing into the inner square or there are troubled people, you can go to the court and ask the sergeant for help." ”

"From tomorrow, if there are people living in difficulty during the lockdown period, they can also go to Youting Pavilion to receive relief rice and grain with the letter of the talisman."

As soon as the black-armored sergeant finished speaking, the young man who was standing on the watchtower was in a trance and said, "How is it possible? ”

How could an army enter the city and not plunder, but distribute rice and grain?

The words he blurted out made the lieutenant suddenly change color, and he was about to reprimand, but the sergeant had already laughed good-naturedly: "How is it impossible, don't you know if you try it?" ”

This is not only this young man, but also the people next to him are also excited.

After informing the lieutenant commander of the notice and instructions, the armor soldier said that there was still the next lieutenant to go, and packed up the corpse on the ground, and the group of men and horses marched away.

The door was wide open, and the chief tiptoed to see the blood on the ground.

Looking left and right, they all looked as confused as him, coughed hurriedly, and put up a shelf: "Don't look at it, do you hear me?" Do not go out of the fang, quickly, close the door of the fang, so as not to enter the army. ”

What virtues the defenders of Linyu City have, they know very well.

The rout army that came, I'm afraid it won't be so polite.

Unconsciously, the lieutenant who had already obeyed the queue beckoned to close the door again.

I picked up two lumps of wet mud in the corner of the wall and pasted the notice in my hand on the inside of the door.

Then he put his hands behind his back, pondering, and loudly informed the people of this matter.

The young man who was standing on the watchtower happened to change his guard and returned home thoughtfully.

His home, near the edge of the village, had a shabby but neatly groomed yard covered with a layer of snow and a half-mended fishing net on a shelf.

The door was locked tightly, and the young man shouted before opening it.

Seeing that he had come back from good life, his father put down the firewood knife in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The windows of the house are covered with fish skin to keep out the cold wind.

The young man's father, mother, and siblings were all dressed in a single coat and shivered around a brazier.

His mother brought a bowl of bland soup, and his siblings looked at it and swallowed, but no one opened their mouths to ask for it.

The young man looked at the soup in front of him, looked around the house, and heard in his ears what the black-clothed soldier had said.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind.

It was crowded all night after another.

Finally waited until dawn.

The young man left the house early in the morning, and after checking the letter for the lieutenant, he took a breath and stepped out of the door.

After walking along the deserted street, his eyes lit up.

In the middle of the street, there were really a few big tents of flowers.

There are also armor soldiers standing guard and patrolling in all directions.

Someone noticed him from afar, and under that scorching gaze, the young man's steps slowed.

He was so frightened that he wanted to turn around and go home, but he stopped.

Seeing him like this, a soldier took the initiative to greet him: "What are you doing?" ”

The young man saw his hand pressed on the saber, and muttered for a long time before he whispered: "The family has run out of food, I heard that ......"

The armor man frowned and listened, then nodded and said, "Follow me." ”
