Seventy-five Guarding the hut

With this shout, several people appeared in the quiet inn and looked at the wall.

There were strange shelves embedded in the wall, or rather in the wall, like a bed that had been erected, and there were no bedding tents on this bed, only sharp rows of arrows missing, and if the officers and soldiers outside could see it closely, they would feel a little like the bed crossbows that were common in their barracks.

But it has a range that even a bed crossbow can't reach.

If they were real officers and soldiers.

Chen Shi sat on it and looked back at the girl who was spinning the winch behind him.

The girl is small, but she can turn a winch that is bigger than she looks.

"Hey, little flower cat, it's *** longitudinal archery, why don't you call me awesome?" Chen Shi asked.

The girl glared, "My name is a cat, not a little flower cat."

Chen Shi said, "It's not all cats."

The girl didn't argue with him childishly, just looked at the seven stars standing in the courtyard: "If it weren't for the seven star sisters to fix this, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless."

Qixing said, "It's also that the defenders here are powerful, and the mechanism is well preserved, otherwise I won't be able to build a new one in half a day."

Everyone's eyes turned to another person, an old man with gray hair, who was carrying a bundle of firewood to the kitchen.

Hearing Qixing say this, he stopped and said respectfully, "The head of the family is false, it has nothing to do with me, it is the first saint who is powerful."

One of the skills of the Mo Sheng is the organs, these organs can be used for daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, and more are used in the armament of weapons.

When Moxue declined, Momen fell into the rivers and lakes, and the Mojia institutions became less and less set up, more and more secretive, and disappeared after the chaos in Jindi.

Who would have thought that this deserted inn on the side of the road would be an institution.

Although the walls of this inn are intact, the house is dilapidated, only an old man with a slender figure is guarded, some people stay, they don't know what to ask, they are deaf and dumb, there is no difference between sleeping in the wild here, and no one will take a second look.

Over the years, there have also been ink writers passing by, seeing the mark, but also silently mentioning their identity, and the old man also likes to ignore it, until this section of the ink people gather one after another.

There are young men who carry firewood with a flat pole but don't seem to want to sell it, there are old men who claim to sell tea with their granddaughters in a cart, there are knights who are silent with an iron hand, there are crippled old men who come down from the cart and shake the wheeled cart, and there are girls who ride alone......

They arrived one after another, greeted each other, and did not leave, apparently knowing each other and who had summoned them.

When the old man heard the name that kept appearing, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is Seven Stars?"

It was late last night, and the dilapidated house was filled with firelight and these people laughing, and it looked vibrant, and the old man was still cooking hot vegetables and rice in a pot, and some of them were surprised and some sighed when they heard the old man ask.

"There are still people who don't know who Miss Seven Star is?"

"It can be seen that my Momen still hasn't really recovered, and the message transmission is still blocked."

Although the old man has not dealt with people for a long time, he still has a temper, and he is about to get angry and say that there is anyone in Momen who is worthy of everyone to know?

"It's the boss." The girl shouted, holding a wooden stick and waving, "Our new head of Momen, a very powerful head."

The old man was stunned, and the head .....

Momen actually has a new head?

He was surprised and a little inexplicably irritable, although Momen was defeated, but not just anyone can be the head, and was about to continue to ask, the chivalrous man with an iron hand stood up and looked outside.

"The boss is here."

The old man subconsciously looked over, only to feel that his already dizzy eyes became more dizzy, and suddenly saw a figure rushing in like an arrow, as if the night wind between heaven and earth was enveloped in, the torches danced and the light and shadow shook wildly, and everyone was about to be torn apart.

But in an instant, the night wind dispersed, the torches stopped beating, and the heavens and the earth returned to peace.

It seems that it was just an illusion before, but it was definitely not an illusion, the old man saw an extra person in the hall, this was a girl in Tsing Yi,

With black hair and a face as white as jade, her complexion was calm, her breath was steady, and she didn't look like she was running wildly at all, as if she had been standing here all along.

"Sister Seven Stars—" The girl was the first to jump up and shout, lunging at the girl.

The girl didn't seem to know how to hold the child, so she simply caught it and picked it up.

The girl giggled.

Everyone else gathered around the girl, and the room was bustling again.

"It's coming so fast."

"I thought I'd have to wait a few more days."

"Miss Seven Stars, it's been a long time since I've seen you—come down!"

This is the new head, so young? But it seemed that everyone was familiar with her, and the old man stood still looking at the woman who was fenced up, which elder or everyone's junior?

He lowered his gaze, whatever, the ink gate has already dispersed, whoever wants to be in charge of the house will be in charge, he is not interested in paying attention, but just as he was about to leave, he heard the woman's voice coming.

"Officers and soldiers are coming over here."

……

……

"Officers and soldiers?" Wei Dongjia asked. "Did we leak our whereabouts?"

"I haven't been questioned by officers and soldiers along the way." Hua Ling said.

Meng Xichang also nodded: "There are many thieves and thieves in the ink heroes, but the government has not intercepted them along the way."

Chen Shi sneered: "But the Metropolitan Inspector knows our movements, and the surname Huo is deliberately letting us leave the capital, and then get rid of us."

Seven Stars shook his head flatly, "He won't."

Chen Shi's voice choked, and he believed Huo Lian so much.

"I said that these people are officers and soldiers because they are dressed, but as you said, there is no movement of the government along the way, and these soldiers and horses seem to have appeared suddenly." Qixing said, "If it was really the imperial court that transferred troops, it would be impossible to be so quiet.....

"So they're not officers and soldiers?" Wei Dongjia took over and asked.

"But these people, horses, and equipment are real." Qixing also said, "Even if you are not an officer or soldier, you must have something to do with an officer and soldier."

Chen Shi will take a slap in his hand: "No matter what he comes from, it's all bad for him."

Meng Xichang nodded: "Everyone leave immediately, I'll take care of the aftermath."

His gaze looked at the old and young wheeled carts in the hall, thin and ......

"Don't look at me." Chen Shi waved the flat burden in his hand, "Your iron hand may not be able to carry this flat burden of mine."

Meng Xichang smiled, looked past him, and then looked at Qixing: "I know that you are also very powerful, but you are inseparable from the Great Wall in the north, you should hurry up, don't delay because of these small dinners, this brother and I will stay and deal with them."

Qixing shook his head: "Those people have surrounded this place silently, and it will be dangerous for everyone to go out."

That's true, so the aftermath that Meng Xichang said was actually to lure them away and fight for everyone a chance to escape.

"We can't escape, the casualties are heavy." "The best thing to do is to defeat them."

Rout?

"How many of them are there?" Meng Xichang asked.

Seven Stars said, "About a hundred."

100 people...... And whether it was a real officer or soldier, not only Meng Xichang, but even Chen Shi looked at the room, there were only seven of them here, and they were old, small, and crippled.....

"Look at it, I'm a cripple, but not a waste." Wei Dongjia said angrily, shaking the armrests with both hands, and the iron sword popped out in front and back of the wheeled car, "Do you believe that I have killed more people than the two of you?"

Chen Shi pouted.

"Yes, there are many ways to kill." The old man who sold tea smiled and said, "Don't look down on us old people."

Ah Mao also grimaced at Chen Shi: "There are also children."

Qixing looked at everyone, smiled again, and said, "This time, what everyone has to do is not to fight hard, but to defend the city."

Defending the city? What city is there to defend in the wilderness? Chen Shi and the others flashed puzzled, but the old man of the inn, who had been silent, raised his head, and Qixing's gaze also looked at him.

"This is supposed to be the Momen Agency

one." Seven Stars said, "Excuse me, are all the mechanisms still there?"

Agency?

Chen Shi and the others were surprised, they had heard of the Momen Agency, but they rarely saw it, the last time they heard it, they were lucky enough to take a look at the casting pool in Jindi, they didn't expect that there would be in this inconspicuous place?

There was also a hint of surprise in the old man's eyes: "How do you know?"

Seven Stars said, "Because I'm the head of the house."

The inheritance of the head of the family is to inherit a lot of secrets of the Momen, but the first head died in a hurry, where did the inheritance come from.

may have heard the elders in the family mention that although the agency is a secret of the Momen, it is not only the head of the family who knows, the old man is no longer asking, there is no point in dwelling on this question, he nodded and admitted, and then heard the woman's voice sound one after another.

"Is there a flue?"

The old man was stunned and nodded.

"Can you reject the horse?"

The old man nodded again.

"Is there a moat?"

The old man nodded in confusion.

"Can you have all the answers?"

Listening to the questioning, the old man's face became more and more solemn, and his body also stood up straight, and when he heard the "transfer machine", he hesitated a little.

"Return... Miss's words." He said, "There is a transfer machine, but one bearing is broken."

Seven Stars sighed and asked, "Do you have any ingredients?"

The old man nodded, "Yes."

Seven Stars said, "I'll fix it."

The old man was surprised again, even if he knew where the organ was, he would still repair it? Really? After watching Qixing sit down, he quickly carved out a new bearing from the wood, which was tightly embedded in the machine, and as the winch turned, the machine slowly rose from the wall after not moving for many years.

The old man did not hesitate any longer, and leaned over to salute heavily: "Thank you, master."

Thinking of that moment and then thinking of the sound of dozens of arrows firing in unison from the transfer plane, and listening to the noise of the military formation of soldiers and horses from a distance, his heart stirred again.

"They've changed formations, they're scattering—"

On the roof, like a flag clinging to a high pole, a flower bell with a remote scope for guarding shouted.

With this shout, the people in the courtyard looked solemn again.

Qixing looked at the kitchen: "Old man tea, is the fire ready?"

The voice of an old tea seller came from the house: "Okay, the smoke has burned enough."

The cat jumped and shouted, "I'm going to blow the wind—"

……

……

The daylight was getting brighter and brighter, and the chaotic army had calmed down, dragging the wounded soldiers and horses away, looking at the arrows that were all over the ground beyond the range of recognition, and then looking at the inn with no weapons in the distance, the atmosphere was angry and solemn.

[In view of the general environment,

"It's just a bed crossbow, and the bed crossbow can't move, spread out—" the leader shouted.

The soldiers scattered and became goose wings, although some people would die under the fierce arrows when they rushed forward, but not everyone would be unlucky, as long as they rushed over, and when they reached the outside of the inn, no matter how powerful the weapon was, there was no threat.

The sound of drums sounded again, and the horses' hooves strode forward.

But before he had walked a few steps, he did not see the bed crossbow exposed on the wall, and he saw the weeds in front of him shaking, like a breeze blowing, and there was smoke rising, first a lock of birds, and then like a pot of boiling water, countless smoke gurgled out from under the ground, and a curtain seemed to be drawn up in front of him.

The soldiers and horses walking in the front didn't care, but as soon as they noticed the smell, they were still thinking about what it was, and the horses under them neighed and raised their hooves wildly, and the soldiers were instantly lifted off their horses and dizzy.

"Poisonous smoke, cover your mouth and nose—"

"Horse poisoning—"

"Backwards—"

"Hurry back—"

......
