Volume 3 Jianghu Road, People's Hearts Are Dangerous Chapter 139 Counterattack (3)
It's dusk again.
As soon as the sun slowly set over the western hills, a team of 2,000 people had set off from Ruzhou City and headed straight for Panjiaao, more than ten miles west of the city.
Panjiaao is a fairly rich village outside Ruzhou City, with 100 households and 2,000 acres of fertile land.
However, since a series of perverse decrees issued by Lord Taishou in the past two years, the people in the village have either been punished to do hard labor or thrown into prison, and the rest have long since left their homes and fled to other places.
As a result, this originally vibrant village became an empty village, and at night it even became a place for wolves, foxes and other wild beasts.
Those Huguang teams who came to Ruzhou would rather take a long detour than pass by this Panjiaao, but everything here is too infiltrating, especially at night, and it has become a forbidden place for pedestrians.
But tonight, it was very different.
The appearance of a large number of officers and soldiers was enough to make many wild beasts in the vicinity frightened, and they could only run farther into the mountains and forests to hide.
And the whole army had no interest in these fleeing beasts, and only quickly divided into several groups of men and horses under the order of the boundless situation, besieged the villages, and blocked all possible escape routes.
After making this series of arrangements, Wu Yan did not enter the village with the main attacking team, but chose the dirt slope outside the village, only brought a small number of personal guards, and climbed straight up.
Compared with entering the village and facing the desperate efforts of those terrible gangsters, General Guo felt that it was safer and more certain to stand on a high place outside the village and command the battle condescendingly.
After all, once those outlaws are besieged and have no hope of escaping, maybe they will do some kind of crazy moves.
As the chief general of the three armies, the garrison of Ruzhou has a great stake, and he should be safe.
Well, he was sensible and thoughtful, at least when he climbed the hill and looked down, and he could clearly see the light of the fire heading straight towards the village.
However, as time went by, the smile on General Guo's face slowly disappeared after seeing the team below constantly wandering around the village, searching for the figure of the thief, but finding nothing.
Although this Pan Jiaao is not too small, it is also unrealistic to hide dozens of people and avoid the search of hundreds of sergeants.
Unless they can fly to the sky, or really be invisible like the gods and demons mentioned in myths, it is impossible that no one has been discovered until now.
"Could it be that they received the news earlier, so they left first?
"Impossible, I didn't even report today's incident, and I didn't give the order until I arrived here, and it is impossible for the news to leak in advance!
"There is only one explanation......"
An extremely terrible thought came out of Wu Wu's heart: "They are not here at all, it was Mu Yi who deceived me!" Why did he do it?
"No, now is not the time to think about this, what else do they have in their plans?"
Besides, the people were still standing on the edge of the dirt slope, their eyes were still staring at the village in front of them, but their minds had completely turned back to Ruzhou City: "Could it be that this is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and want to transfer me and these soldiers and horses away from Ruzhou, and then take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack?" β
Just as he was thinking about this terrible possibility, a dull pop suddenly came from behind him.
This shocked him, and he immediately turned around.
Then, I saw the amazing and terrible scene that made his blood freeze almost instantlyβ
I saw that on the entire dirt slope behind him, more than 20 of his own soldiers who should have been standing everywhere, waiting for him to give orders, all fell down at this time.
And not far from him, only three paces away, a man was slowly straightening up.
It was the last blow that knocked down one of the guards, and the sound was a little louder, that made Wu Wu, who was in a state of thought, suddenly turn back.
However, there were not only the two of them standing on the dirt slope, but not far behind the man, there were two more, all staring at him with a wary gaze, and they could rush up with the man at any moment and attack the situation.
"You ......" As soon as Kuang Wuya spoke, the man had already jumped up with an arrow, reached out and pinched his neck: "General Kuang, I don't want to hurt you." But if you shout now and attract the people below, I will have to break your neck for my own safety. β
It was said softly and softly, but when it fell into the ears of Wu Wu, it was enough to make him feel unprecedented fear.
This also made him quickly shut up and not dare to speak again.
"Very well, now we can talk. Time is limited, so I won't say anything about those irrelevant words, I just ask you, do you want to die, or do you want to live? β
"Of course I want to ......live," said Boundless Painstaking, who had his throat loosened some.
"Well, it's a wise choice. I guess you know who we are, right? β
"You are...... The man of the hand of Yama? β
"Clever. To tell you the truth, I tried my best to lure you here this time, just to cooperate with General Guo. β
Really...... That Mu Yi had already been controlled by them, and he had completely fallen for it!
Besides, Wuya regretted it in his heart, he knew that this was the case, and he should have taken the people into the village.
No, if I had known that, I wouldn't have ventured here.
Who would have thought that the other party would be so cunning and come to such a false hand.
But now it's too late to regret it, he can only struggle: "You...... How do you want to work together? β
"It's very simple, you and I will join forces to get rid of the great scourge of Taishou Bian Jiuling for the people of Ruzhou!"
Even though he was prepared, after hearing this, he was still shocked and resistant: "This can't be done, even if I am really willing to help you, Ruzhou is also the world of Lord Taishou." The men and horses under my command, except for these dozens of cronies, everyone else is looking forward to the ......."
"Is that so...... But it doesn't matter, as long as you cooperate with me, I have my own way to do the rest. β
"You're trying to assassinate? That's useless, don't you know......" At this point, there is no end to the situation and can only reveal some top secrets that only a few people such as himself have.
But before he could say anything, the other party tightened his hand and squeezed his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.
Just when Wu Wuya's heart shook violently, he thought that the other party saw that he couldn't do it, so he was going to kill himself, and he was about to struggle, when suddenly there was an extra thing in his mouth.
Then as soon as the other party's hand was released, he inhaled violently out of fear and lack of oxygen, and the thing had a grunt, and he swallowed it directly.
Although the threat on his neck was gone, he had no joy at all, and said in fear: "You...... What did you make me eat? β

Happy National Day, everyone!!!
