Chapter Seventy-Seven: You Guessed Wrong (4000 words)
Hearing the sound outside the inner courtyard, Mo Jun said decisively: "Withdraw!" ”
Practicing martial arts is not cultivating immortals, except for the masters who specialize in horizontal kung fu, no matter how strong the rest of the people are in internal and external skills, they are mortal after all, once they are shot through the heart by a strong bow and crossbow, they are still dead.
And now the outer courtyard has been surrounded by almost more than 800 black-armored soldiers, as for this inner courtyard, except for the building where Mo Jun is located, the rest of the place has already been emptied.
Other words.
Now once Li Xin's army outside launches a rain of arrows, this inner courtyard will not even have a cover except for the building where Mo Jun is located, and it will be completely 'catching turtles in the urn'.
Hear Mo Jun's order.
Black Feather was the first to react, and with a flash of his figure, he withdrew from the dining hall.
On the courtyard wall, Zhu Yeqing saw Hei Yu retreating, and was about to turn around and flee, but he had just made a little move, and immediately found at least hundreds of strong crossbows with arrows flashing in the cold light, pointing in the direction where she was.
Zhu Yeqing's figure suddenly stiffened.
The other side.
When Hei Yu withdrew to the dining hall, Xiong Er immediately stepped in front of the door, his huge body was like a sturdy door panel, blocking the door tightly.
"Mr. Gainie!"
Zhanqin shouted from inside the door, but before Gai Nie could respond, another person with a body full of wine flashed and came to the door.
The sudden figure almost made Xiong Eryi call directly, but fortunately, at the critical moment, the figure shouted: "Wait, don't be in a hurry, I have something to say." ”
The Xuantie steel shovel stayed in front of the wine sword idiot's eyes for a foot, and the strong wind blew up the messy hair, making the wine sword idiot's wine wake up a little.
For this wandering swordsman who is famous in the rivers and lakes, everyone also maintains a very high level of vigilance.
"What do you have to say?"
Zhanqin didn't let Xiong Er remove the black iron steel shovel that was on the other party's neck, and said calmly from inside the door.
The wine sword idiot rubbed his hands, and his face, which was originally quite temperamental, seemed a little obscene at this time, and then he only heard him smile, and said to Mo Jun: "Hehe~~ What, this adult, give me a way to live?" ”
Seeing that the master's temperament on the other party disappeared in an instant, Mo Jun was also stunned.
But soon, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Living? You can even escape from the Four Kings' Palace, can't you escape from my small county guard mansion now? ”
The wine sword idiot smiled helplessly: "I just went over there to steal a little wine, so naturally it won't attract too much attention from the palace guards." What's more, even in the palace, it is impossible to casually mobilize a thousand elite armor soldiers to besiege it! ”
Thinking that he had just seen more than 800 black-armored soldiers outside the courtyard, even a drunken sword idiot couldn't help but feel a tingling feeling on his scalp.
What is the concept of a thousand elite armorers?
This is almost all the vanguard elite of the 10,000 regular army.
The wine and sword idiot thinks that he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and his knowledge is extensive. But he had never seen a country in a county guard mansion with so many elite armor guards guarding it!
"Are you sure you want me to give you a way to live? Don't regret it? ”
"It should ······ Let's do it! ”
The wine sword idiot looked at Mo Jun's black and white eyes on the other side, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
But if you think about it carefully, he doesn't seem to have any other choice now, according to the current strength of the inner courtyard surrounded outside, the wine sword idiot estimates that if he forcibly escapes, there is a sixty percent probability that he will be killed by random arrows, a thirty percent probability of being captured alive, and a one percent probability of being seriously injured and escaping.
If you change to an outlaw, you may fight hard, after all, the probability of one percent is already very high for the people of the rivers and lakes.
But the problem is that the drunken sword idiot is not an outlaw.
The wine and sword idiot thinks that he has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, except for occasionally stealing some good wine, he has never offended anyone. And he's still young, he never thought he'd go down so early to see his unreliable master!
"Let him in!"
Hearing that the wine sword idiot agreed, Mo Jun also opened his mouth to give an order, asking Xiong Er to let the other party in.
"Thank you!"
Jiujian thanked him idiotically, and then slowly stepped into the door of the dining hall.
However, the moment he just stepped into the door with one foot, the expression of the wine sword idiot instantly stiffened. Because at the moment of entering the dining hall, a sword intent that even a wine sword idiot couldn't help but feel creepy suddenly locked on his body.
This domineering sword intent has no malicious intent, but with its own strength, it has already made the wine sword idiot can't help but feel the hairs on his back stand up.
"Ah, this~~ Do I still have a chance to regret it now?"
"What do you say?"
Mo Jun looked at him with a smile, and in the face of Mo Jun's gaze, the wine sword idiot had no choice but to walk into the dining hall.
Until this time.
The wine sword idiot saw that there was a one-armed swordsman with a long sword hanging from his waist standing there in the dead corner of the dining hall gate, and the place where he was was was not only the blind spot of the gate, but also the best place to draw the sword.
The wine sword idiot had no doubt, but if he had the slightest idea of 'capturing the thief and capturing the king first' and holding Mo Jun hostage, I am afraid that at this moment he has become a sword revenant of this one-armed swordsman.
"Front······ Hello seniors! ”
The wine sword idiot faced the direction of Jian Jiuyuan, trying to squeeze out a flattering smile.
But with a smile on his face, but at this moment, the wine and sword idiot was already about to scold his mother in his heart.
Insidious.
It's just too insidious.
This guy has already reached this point, and he actually hid a hole card for himself.
And what the hell is this county guard's house?
The first two are outrageous enough, and the last one hidden at the end is even more outrageous.
······
The duel between Gai Nie and Black and White Xuanjian is still continuing, and at this time, Gai Nie has only just come out of the school, and his strength is only initially stepping into the first-class realm.
However, with the Ghost Valley Peerless Learning, Black and White Xuanjian wanted to take down Gai Nie in a short period of time, and the difficulty was also not low.
But when Zhu Yeqing and the wine sword idiot were subdued one after another, Hei Bai Xuanqian could only give up the desire to continue fighting, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, it looks like our duel is going to be delayed again." ”
The voice fell.
The black and white Xuanjian swords suddenly slashed out a black and white cross sword qi, forcing Gai Nie to retreat, and he jumped out of the courtyard wall with a leap.
Li Xin, who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, saw the black and white Xuanjian appear, his eyes immediately flashed, and he said loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”
Shout!
Shout!
Shout!
For first-class masters, it is actually not difficult to escape the pursuit of a thousand elite armorers. But if you want to escape from the encirclement that has been formed, the difficulty is completely different.
Black and white Xuanjian obviously understood this truth, so he didn't even have the slightest idea of entanglement with the black armor soldiers, and the moment he rushed out of the courtyard, he danced an impenetrable sword net beside him with black and white swords.
In a flash.
A large number of sharp arrows broke in two and fell to the ground.
But even so, there were still three "fish that slipped through the net" that hit the body of the black and white Xuanjian, and one of them came out through the chest, bringing out a piece of blood. Two more, one hit the shoulder and one shot into the abdomen.
However, at the cost of three arrows in his body, Xuan Jian finally barely escaped from the encirclement of the black-armored soldiers, but this was obviously not of much use, because at the moment when he had just broken out of the encirclement, the second round of attacks followed.
The black-armored soldiers in the front row quickly launched a charge, and a hundred troops on the left and right flanked from both flanks, and it only took a few breaths to form a new encirclement again.
This is the difference between an army that has a commander and an army that does not.
Once surrounded again.
Then the black and white Xuanjian really has no way to live.
However, at this critical moment, a rope hook suddenly flew from somewhere like a ghost, and then before Li Xin could react, black and white Xuanjian grabbed the rope hook, and the whole person instantly rose into the air.
After a few ups and downs.
The man has quickly disappeared into the night.
"There is a response, chase!"
Seeing that someone had taken away the assassin he was going to capture in front of him, Li Xin's expression suddenly sank, and he shouted, and then took the lead in chasing after the other party.
······
The other side.
Li Xin only took about 300 people with him after Xuan Qian, and more than 500 people stayed in the county guard mansion just in case.
"My lord, what should this assassin do?"
After Xuan Jian left, Mo Jun also walked out of the dining hall, and happened to meet a black-armored soldier who came to him with Zhu Yeqing in front of him, and asked with his hands in his hands.
"This woman and the man, together with them, were all taken to the dungeon and guarded." Mo Jun glanced at Zhu Yeqing, and then waved his hand.
The drunken sword idiot behind him was immediately stunned: "Huh? It's not······ Why am I being put in a dungeon? ”
It's a pity that the black armor soldier obviously didn't mean to explain to the wine sword idiot, he was directly shackled and locked, and he dragged him to the dungeon, the wine sword idiot hung his feet on the ground, and he could only shout while kicking: "It's okay to lock it up, but remember to bring me wine, preferably better wine." ”
No one paid any attention to this living treasure.
After dealing with the affairs of the two assassins, Mo Jun came to Gai Nie again, hugged his hands and saluted, "Thank you Mr. Gai Nie for your help this time." ”
Gai Nie hugged his sword and saluted back, and said, "Lord Mo is polite, even if you are not here today, with the support of this senior, presumably Lord Mo can also sit back and relax." ”
The direction that Gai Nie's gaze was looking at was the sword Jiuyuan behind Mo Jun.
Mo Jun shook his head and said, "It's different, if today's battle can't be resolved quickly and these evil guests outside will be shocked, I'm afraid that in the future, my small county guard will never have peace." ”
The assassins who infiltrated the county guard just now were actually only a part.
Whether it was the other part of the 'Net' killer who had just received the black and white Xuanjian, or the other part of the underworld masters who had taken a fancy to Mojun's bounty, they were all waiting outside the door for news inside.
But if there is a battle tonight, Mo Jun shows a little timidity, this group of people will definitely rush in, rushing to cut off Mo Jun's head and exchange it for a bounty.
Mo Jun himself is actually not very afraid of assassination now, but the problem is that he is not the only one in Mo Jun's mansion!
Killers have no bottom line.
If these people find out that they can't help Mojun one day, they will definitely look for other loopholes in Mojun's mansion.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble in the future, Mo Jun specially borrowed a whole thousand elite armor soldiers from Meng Wu, he just wanted to show the group of guys who were still outside now, and how much price he had to pay if he wanted to assassinate him.
"Black Feather, cut off all the heads of these assassin killers later, and hang them outside the county guard's mansion."
"Yes!"
Black Feather replied.
"Zhanqin, the soldiers who died in battle tonight, the pension will be paid according to the three-fold standard, you can discuss this with General Li at that time, and we will make up for the shortcomings."
"I understand it below!"
Zhanqin bowed slightly.
After briefly dealing with the chaos in the county guard's mansion, Mo Jun spoke towards Gai Nie again: "Mr. Gai Nie, are you interested in accompanying you to meet someone?" ”
Gai Nie's eyes flickered, and for a while he didn't understand what Mo Jun was selling, but he still hugged his sword and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey." ”
Leave Zhanqin, Hei Yu, and Jian Jiuyuan to guard the county guard mansion to prevent accidents from happening next.
Mo Jun led Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Gai Nie out of the county guard's mansion.
And the moment Mo Jun appeared from the gate of the county guard's mansion, countless eyes hidden in the dark suddenly sent messages to them behind them or to their superiors.
There was such a big commotion in the Nanjun County Guard Mansion tonight, and more than a hundred assassin killers went in and still haven't come out, which already explains a lot of problems.
But now that Mo Jun came out of it intact, it confirmed everyone's speculation even more.
And the result of tonight's incident is also destined to set off a lot of waves in the rivers and lakes.
Of course.
That's all for later.
Mo Jun led the three of them to wander the streets like a walk for a while, and then came to the door of a mansion that looked quite prosperous in the middle of the city.
"A few distinguished guests, my master is waiting in the lobby."
The owner of this mansion seemed to have expected the arrival of Mo Jun and the others, so he sent a servant at home to wait at the door early.
The four of them walked into the mansion.
Soon I saw a middle-aged man with a mustache in the lobby, sitting behind a low table, with several tables of wine and food prepared in front of him, as if he was waiting for the arrival of Mo Jun and others.
This middle-aged man with a mustache may be a little strange to Gai Nie, but he is very familiar to the people of Nanjun.
Because this is the current envoy of Nanjun, he has the right to supervise the people and officials, and even the right to contain the county guard if necessary.
"Lord Mo!"
"Master Li, long time no see!"
Mo Jun greeted the Nanjun and imperial envoy with a smile, and then continued: "Speaking of which, since Lord Ben first came to Nanjun, he has always had a doubt in his heart, I don't know if Lord Li can answer a question or two for Lord Ben. ”
"Oh? I don't know what kind of problem can bother the county keeper? ”
"The position of the county warden of Minami County, before the arrival of Lord Ben, has changed three county guards in a row. Hardly a county warden has served for more than one year. ”
Mo Jun said: "But what is very strange is that in addition to the county guard, the other three important positions of the county commander, the county lieutenant, and the imperial envoy have not changed for several years. ”
"Lord Ben has always been curious, and now the county is supported by the four major clans of Nanjun, so he naturally has a firm foothold in this place."
"The county lieutenant is concurrently served by General Mengwu on the border, and it is even more stable."
"But I don't think the Imperial Envoy has any background, and no military power. I don't know how Lord Li sat in this position for so long in this remote South County? ”
In the face of Mo Jun's questioning, Lord Li, the imperial envoy in front of him, was not annoyed at all, but took a sip of wine with a smile and replied: "Before answering this question from the adults, let's also tell a story to the county guard!" ”
Mo Jun nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Listen up." ”
Master Li said: "There used to be a scholar who had no background, no family background, and no money. ”
"Until he was thirty years old, this scholar was valued by a big man, and then under the recommendation of this big man, just one sentence, this scholar became the powerful and imperial envoy of Nanjun."
"Say, should this scholar repay that big man?"
Mo Jun nodded approvingly and said, "The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs." But didn't this scholar think that he would be in danger if he had repaid his kindness with someone else's life? ”
Master Li smiled and said, "I guess he is not dangerous, because with the protection of that big man, no one in the entire Qin Kingdom will dare to touch this scholar······"
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, a huge black iron steel shovel swept by, and the scholar's head exploded like a watermelon on the spot.
Xiong Er's decisive move, even Gai Nie on the side couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Mo Jun lightly took out a silk scarf, wiped a drop of blood splashed on his sleeve robe, and then casually covered the silk scarf on the neck of the headless corpse that was spurting blood, and said indifferently: "It's a pity, you guessed wrong!" ”
······
