Chapter 323 - Entrustment
These people were all soldiers in iron armor, who were supposed to be an important force to guard the border against the barbarians, but at this time, they were targeting their own people.
Perhaps, from the moment they chose to turn their backs, Wu Qi could no longer be regarded as his own person, but an outlier who was different from them.
Although Wu Qi resisted hard, he only thought that he could slash that shameless Zhao Zhen. However, he only has one person and one knife, and under the siege of many armor soldiers, he can't get close to Zhao Zhen at all.
Manpower is sometimes poor! Wu Qi finally drank his hatred and fell in a pool of blood, while the armor soldiers were still stabbing Wu Qi's corpse with their spears with expressionless faces, as if they were afraid that he would not be completely dead.
"That's it!" Looking at the corpses that were already bloody and fleshy, Zhao Zhen stopped them and said, "Let's go, deal with his men!"
After a few steps, he paused and added, "By the way, cut off this guy's head!"
"Yes!" The armor soldier was expressionless and ordered to cut off Wu Qi's head, and then walked to the front hall under the leadership of Zhao Zhen.
Lao Ma and the others waited for a long time and didn't see Wu Qi come out, and they couldn't help but be a little worried. But thinking that this is the Cangzhou Mansion, and this is still the residence of the governor, I'm afraid there are few places safer than here!
Besides, it is clear from all the way that the war has not spread here, so there should be no need to worry too much!
Da Hei poured several cups of tea, his mouth was very bitter, he really couldn't understand how those big people liked to drink this kind of thing, wasn't it just some water soaked in broken leaves, what was there to drink?
Putting down the teacup again, Da Hei said, "Old Ma, the team has been going for so long, why hasn't it come back yet?"
Lao Ma frowned slightly, and said, "There may be something to talk about, the thoughts of this Cangzhou Governor are not something we can guess!"
Da Hei pursed his lips and said, "It's trouble! If you want me to say, quickly send troops to us, fight back directly, and beat those well-bred southern barbarians fiercely!"
This is basically the same idea as everyone present. On the one hand, they came here to report the news, but more often than not, they had the idea of bringing in reinforcements.
As long as this side reacts quickly and directly sends troops to kill the barbarians, there is a high probability that the barbarians will be caught off guard! It's just that I don't know what the chief here thinks, this reaction is really a bit slow!
The old horse said, "Wait a minute!"
He also had some doubts and uneasiness in his heart at the moment, Wu Qi had not come out since he went in, and they were arranged to drink tea here, and they didn't give an explanation for what they decided, it seemed that they were just hanging out.
"Someone's coming!" Lin Yan looked at one place and said suddenly.
Although his strength has regressed greatly due to his previous injuries, after all, he was once a congenital master who can fight, and his basic perception ability is still there.
Soon after the words fell, a large number of armor soldiers surrounded the place where everyone was.
"What's the situation?" This is the same question that everyone has at the moment. They were obviously here to report the news, but why were they suddenly surrounded by armor, and it looked like they were going to deal with them.
The three captains of the cavalry team have been sent elsewhere, this team is led by Wu Qi himself, and the rest are not very high-level.
The old horse stubbornly walked out and said, "Sir, I don't know what is going on? Where's Team Wu?"
The armor soldiers separated, and Zhao Zhen's figure slowly walked out, and said, "Wu Qi is a Southern Barbarian spy, who plotted to assassinate the chief, and his crime is extremely heinous, and he has been killed on the spot by Captain Pontus!"
After speaking, he glanced at the armor soldier beside him, and the armor soldier threw an object at the feet of the old horse, it was a bloodstained human head, and his eyes were staring straight at him, it was Wu Qi!
The old horse was frightened and took a step back, and then said in a trembling voice, "You killed him?"
Not only the old horse, but everyone else was stunned by the scene in front of them! They never thought that Wu Qi, who was obviously going in to report the situation, would be said to be a conspiracy to assassinate the chief, and then he was killed like this!
They have been following Wu Qi for a long time, and they won't believe it no matter what
He's a Nanban spy! What kind of joke is this, are there spies who put their lives on the line to guard the border of the Tang Kingdom? If it's acting, then the acting skills are too realistic, and the effort is too great!
Zhao Zhen continued, "Captain Pontus now orders you to quickly lay down your weapons and accept the investigation! If you disobey, you will be killed on the spot!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, they would disarm without asking anything, and if they didn't listen, they would be killed on the spot, why did they seem so impatient?
Lao Ma is not a fool, Lao Xu, who was born in Tanma, is also in the same team with them, he quietly approached Lao Ma's side and whispered: "This Zhao is really wrong, the team is dying very strangely, he definitely can't be some bullshit Nanban spy!" Get ready!"
Since Wu Qi can't have a problem, then the problem is this Zhao Zhen! He might be the real traitor!
The old horse quietly made a gesture behind his back, and when the people behind saw it, he instantly understood, pressed his hand on the hilt, and was ready to deal with the next situation at any time.
Zhao Zhen saw the movements of these people, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "It seems that you are planning to resist to the end!" Kill them all!"
With a wave of his hand, the armor soldiers swarmed up, but he himself slowly retreated behind him, standing in a safe position and observing the field.
Lao Ma and the others looked at Zhao Zhen who was hiding behind the armor, and secretly cursed shamelessly in their hearts, wanting to do it, but they had no means to fight the enemy remotely.
Their crossbow bolts were confiscated earlier, probably just to prevent this situation! It's just to keep them from being suspicious, so the saber they carry with them is not confiscated, otherwise, everyone will have to wait for death at this time!
"Prepare to break out!" The old horse said in a deep voice, and then pulled out the horizontal knife.
That being said, he is not very sure that he will be able to break through. Facing the encirclement of so many armor soldiers, there were only twenty of them, even if they could break out of this mansion, but without war horses, it was impossible to run far!
And don't forget, they are in the city at this time, but the original safe rear is like a tiger's den in Longtan to them at this time, and the original people in the same camp have become powerful ghosts who are asking for their lives, approaching them ruthlessly!
"Kill!"
The two sides started at the same time, shouting and killing to the sky. As soon as Pu came into contact, Lao Ma lost a few people, after all, they were cavalry, and without the help of war horses, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced in an instant.
If this continues, these people will be wiped out! Death does not make Lao Ma afraid, what he is really afraid of is that if the news cannot be transmitted, his people will die in vain!
The truth will be sealed, and after the death of himself and others, he will be saddled with the notoriety of treason, but the real traitor is at large, with a righteous man, loyal and patriotic face, which is disgusting!
But in the face of this predicament, he had no way out of it, and he couldn't help but think a little desperately, "Is it really going to be over?"
At this moment, the sound of "whooshing" broke through the air one after another, and then the old horse saw a few black balls flying, and then
