59. Night Raid
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The daily shouting and drumming outside the city never stopped, and it became more and more intense day by day.
Every blow seemed to hit the hearts of the people in the city, making people flustered and restless.
In this high-pressure environment, even Su Qin had to change his habits and practice boxing almost from morning to night, in order to vent the boredom in his heart, and at the same time, he was also preparing for the upcoming city break.
The four corpses outside the courtyard had already been picked up by the shopkeepers and officials patrolling the streets.
And in the city, at first, everyone only regarded the rumors spread by the careful work as rumors, and they forgot if they heard it, but after talking too much and hearing too much, their hearts began to waver.
"Are these people telling the truth?"
"Why are there so many small works in the city that have not been captured? Why should they be meticulous? ”
"Why didn't the families in the city help defend the city? Aren't they optimistic about the government army in Yunshan City, thinking that the city will be breached? ”
……
Under the daily fear, all kinds of suspicions continue to arise in the hearts of the people.
Even if there are people patrolling the streets during the day who beat gongs and shout to refute rumors every day, once the seeds of doubt are planted in the hearts of the people, they are destined to be unable to recover.
Especially in the city, the situation of people being dragged to be strong men has begun to appear, and for a while, everyone in the entire Yunshan City is in danger.
Until this night—
Su Qin, who was sleeping lightly in the room, suddenly woke up, only to hear the sudden sound of shouting and killing from the direction of the city gate.
"Night raid? Or is the city broken? ”
Su Qin turned over and got out of bed, opened the door of the wing, and quickly came to the courtyard to listen.
When you come to the courtyard, the shouting and killing sound from the direction of the city gate is clearer, and even the fire can be heard from other directions in the distance?
At this time, Yu Niang and Xue'er also hurriedly walked out of the master bedroom, and Lu Tian followed behind them.
Now the sky is still protecting the mother and daughter of the Jade Lady, so that Su Qin does not need to spend too much energy on protecting them.
"Brother Su, but the city is broken?" Yu Niang hugged Xue'er with anxiety on her face.
"It's not clear, I'm going to go to the roof quietly...... Roar, take me up! ”
Su Qin rode onto the back of the roaring sky, jumped to the roof with a slight leap, and came to the highest ridge in a few steps.
Here, you can clearly see the fire in the direction of the city gate, and under the firelight, you can see many figures on the city wall rushing and staggering, fierce confrontation.
Some martial arts masters jumped on the roof, and were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest by the archers on the city wall, and only a few escaped in, and they were also chased by the martial arts masters in the city.
Su Qin looked in other directions, and saw from a distance that some of the more important locations in the city were faintly emitting firelight, such as the direction of the government office and the granary of the official mansion, and there were also sounds.
The nearby headhunters rushed to help in those directions.
It looks like it's just a night attack...... It should be that the small work in the city suddenly attacked the government and the granary, and even did not hesitate to set fires, in an attempt to coerce the people into causing a huge riot and attract some of the city guards to pass......
At this time, a small group of martial arts masters outside the city cooperated with the fine work inside the city and directly launched a fierce attack on the city gate, trying to open the city gate...... It's a pity that it was discovered, and the martial arts masters of the martial arts hall in the city cooperated with the soldiers and directly suppressed all of them......
Su Qin stood on the roof and quickly made a judgment based on the information he saw.
"However, this raid did have some effects, such as...... Tonight's Yunshan City is getting more and more chaotic! ”
On the roof, looking at the past, there are as few as three or five people, and as many as ten people, most of them are gangsters, and some are even members of certain gangs.
They went out into the streets in groups, armed with knives and sticks.
This was accompanied by smashing, screaming, crying, and laughter......
This group of people, a single person is not strong, but once there are many people, the destructive power gathered together is quite amazing, and they bully the weak and fear the hard, they only harm the common people, and they dare not provoke the big families in the city at all.
When two groups of people meet on the street, they will try to avoid each other and do not clash, and some will even say hello when they meet.
Only when they encounter a lone person, after the negotiation fails, they will suddenly attack them and attack them in groups.
Su Qin saw a few leather refining martial artists, who boasted of their high strength, disdained to be in the company of these people, acted alone and were hospitalized and robbed, and then came out with a puff of money.
As soon as he came out, he encountered a dozen gangs that had just come out of a family, all with knives in their hands or daggers, stained with blood...... The negotiation between the two sides failed and they fought directly, and as a result, after the martial artist forcibly killed three more people, he was directly hacked to death with a knife!
In the end, he was cut off by the leading gangster, raised it above his head like a show-off, and laughed out loud...... Scarlet blood dripped from the top of his head, staining his face like a mad demon.
For this kind of behavior that was hacked and eaten by black in the end, Su Qin did not pity it at all in his heart, but said 'good' in his heart.
It's just that more miserable images in the city are happening to ordinary people.
Many tragic images do not necessarily affect oneself, even if they are witnessed, it is a kind of torture for oneself.
In this carnival feast of thugs, Su Qin stood on the roof and witnessed too many atrocities.
"Perhaps, the destruction of Yunshan City is a good thing......"
Under the stalemate, there was no one to maintain order in the city, and in the end, it was only the common people below who could suffer.
The city is broken, of course, it is a big bad thing for the officials and masters in the city and some big families, but for the people in the city, it is not a bad thing.
"If the white dragon thief is really as Jade Niang said, he will not loot or coerce the homeless...... After the city is broken, order will definitely be maintained, which is a great good thing for the people in the city! ”
However, no matter how big a good thing is, Su Qin will not take risks to promote this matter, he just needs to guard this one-third of an acre of land.
It's not that he's cold-blooded, it's that he can't do anything about it, there are people in the city who are stronger than him, who are more capable than him, and the families in the city, which one is not more capable than him?
And when will it be his turn to make the first bird?
"In this troubled world, it's good to be able to hold on to your own life...... Well? ”
At this time, Su Qin noticed that in a family diagonally opposite Yu Niang's house, there were six people sneakily holding ladders and preparing to climb over the wall to enter.
If it was just like that, of course Su Qin wouldn't pay special attention, but he noticed that among these six people, there happened to be one of the people who was peeping outside the courtyard of Yu Niang at the beginning!
'These people ......'
Su Qin took a few steps back from the ridge of the roof, squatted down and hid.
He saw the men climb over the wall and enter the hospital, and the last man took the ladder in.
Soon, there were a few short screams from inside, as if they were stunned, and they returned to silence.
But after a long time, no one came out.
"Brother Su, how is it...... Is the city broken, how can I hear that there is such chaos outside. ”
Yu Niang's somewhat flustered voice pulled Su Qin out of the state of observation.
"The city is not broken...... I'll talk about it when I come down."
Su Qin glanced back at the courtyard, it was still silent, so he could only pat the sky and jump back into the courtyard from the roof.
