Chapter 181: The Bandits Rebelled
The next night, in the city of Weiyang.
During the day today, under the cooperation of several major families, nearly thousands of Japanese robbers secretly infiltrated Weiyang City.
In order to increase their grasp, several major families even bought off the relevant guards and prepared to set fire to several granaries and money houses in Weiyang City.
Under the cover of the heavy night, barrels of fire oil were opened, and thick black fire oil was poured on the building.
The diminutive man in black opened the fire fold and threw it on top of the oil again.
The flames burst into flames!
Fueled by the oil, the flames spread like a tidal wave, covering the entire main body of the building in almost a quarter of an hour!
The bright light was accompanied by a crackling burning sound, and the path beater was shocked, but before he could shout, he was wiped by a man in black.
After the man in black and his companions converged, he said something strange and scattered, and went to the homes of nearby people to massacre.
The people were still asleep, and they didn't know what was going on, when the door of their house was broken open, and fifteen men in black poured in.
Before they could question or scream, the black man pounced, picked up a strangely shaped narrow knife, and slashed off the heads of the innocent people.
The killing was going on, and the fire was raging.
But even if these men in black suppressed the spread of the news as much as possible, the money village and the granary were very important, and when the flames were blazing, the people nearby and the people a little farther away also sensed that the situation was wrong, and a riot broke out.
Even if the people spontaneously organized themselves and prepared to fight the fire and resist the men in black.
But who are they the opponents of these men in black?
It was a one-sided massacre by the men in black.
And under the operation of several great families, the commander of the city defense guard was also a long time late to learn the news.
Since Jiang Rongfeng was not there, the city defense guards could only organize people to go over first, while informing Xiao Chen of the matter.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Chen was still asleep.
Xiang Yichun came to the door and knocked on the door with a "knock knock":
"Lord Overseer, Lord Overseer, something is wrong!"
Xiao Chen rubbed his eyes, frowned and turned over, and quickly went over to open the door.
Xiao Chen's tone was serious: "What happened?" ”
Xiang Yichun gasped and said: "Just now, the commander of the city defense guard sent someone over, saying that there were suspected Japanese black-clothed people in the city who had set fire to the city, and several money houses and granaries in the city were destroyed!" ”
"Many couples and ordinary people were slaughtered by the men in black......"
"They don't know what the situation is, but they have sent people to stop it!"
"What are we going to do, Lord Overseer?"
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed: "If it's a widow, I now almost know who is secretly making trouble......"
"Xiang Yichun, you took Lin Yi and the others to the city to maintain order, fight fires and save people!"
Xiang Yichun's tone was worried: "Lord Overseer, what should we do if we all pass, and the defense here in the other courtyard is empty, and the Japanese invade by taking advantage of the weakness?" ”
Xiao Chen had a coldness in his eyes: "You go first, I have the power to protect myself,"
He also knew that the goods that had been confiscated recently were all stored in the courtyard, and if those would-be robbers came for money, they would definitely be their targets here.
When the time comes, there will be a war!
But Xiao Chen is still sure.
He has already broken through the seventh grade, and he is already at the level of a hundred enemies and a thousand enemies!
is just a widow, and he doesn't take it seriously.
Xiang Yichun had no choice but to listen to Xiao Chen's words and took Lin Yi and others over to save people and put out the fire.
Although Xiao Chen was sure, he also urgently called the six princesses and others in the other courtyard and asked them to gather in the hall of the inner courtyard to avoid accidents.
Xiao Chen's front foot was arranged, and there was a sound of killing outside the back foot.
His eyes were slightly condensed, but he didn't check the situation, but stayed there.
The outer courtyard of the annex.
Dozens of black-clad robbers rushed in and fought with the guards.
The leader was a man with an iron mask, and his sword skills were so sharp that he almost chopped melons and vegetables in the face of those ordinary guards.
He even said in the half-baked Da Chu official dialect: "There is a big official living here!" Suddenly, there are countless treasures waiting for us to use, as long as we capture this place, the future days will be very comfortable! ”
The black-clothed robbers next to him were even more energetic when they heard this.
And looking at the current situation, at most a quarter of an hour, the guards will be slaughtered.
There are also guards inside and outside the passage to report the situation to Xiao Chen.
and the six princesses and others learned that there was a Japanese attack, and their expressions became a little panicked.
Zhang Dongyang stroked his beard, his eyes were solemn: "Lord Overseer, the sixth princess, this official thinks that what those widows are planning is nothing more than wealth, if we give up our wealth and avoid the limelight, we may be able to avoid suffering!" ”
In fact, Zhang Dongyang can be regarded as reasonable.
After all, the lives of everyone present are the most important thing, and wealth or anything has to be ranked in the back.
Xiao Chen shook his head: "According to what the guards said, there are only dozens of those widows, and I am still sure that I will flee like this, so I don't have to." ”
"Hongluan, you protect them for me......"
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Xiao Chen's eyes changed, his hand had already touched his waist, and he was ready to draw his sword out of the sheath at any time.
But the person who appeared was not a widow, he was Xiao Chen's acquaintance.
That is, Qin Changfeng, who had a holiday with Xiang Yichun before and had met Xiao Chen a few times.
Xiao Chen's eyes were slightly puzzled: "What are you doing here?" ”
Qin Changfeng said coldly: "Those Japanese robbers have already attacked, and I am here to save you." ”
Xiao Chen's eyes were strange: "Are you sure?" ”
"I did look away before."
Qin Changfeng's face was still cold: "You are a good official, you shouldn't just die." ”
Xiao Chen's eyes were a little complicated, and he said: "I don't have to save it, you just protect my little beauties!" ”
Qin Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "It's unreasonable!" ”
But he didn't say much, he pulled out the sword in his hand, and came to the sixth princess and the others again, and protected them with Ji Hongluan.
A slightly awkward man's voice sounded outside the door again:
"Listen to that big official inside!"
"Hurry up and get me out!"
Xiao Chen's eyes were cold, and he walked out of the door quickly.
I saw that in the courtyard outside the door, twenty or thirty black-clothed widows stood with knives.
Their blades were also scarlet and bloody, and there was a vague sense of oppression.
And the iron-faced widow who was the leader stood proudly, looking at Xiao Chen's eyes full of arrogance.
Xiao Chen sneered and asked, "It's you who are making trouble in the city?" ”
"So what?"
The iron-faced widow smiled strangely: "Kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and offer all the goods, we can consider sparing your life!" ”
Xiao Chen sneered and said, "Do your dreams!" Let me kneel? Even if you kneel on the ground and kowtow to me a hundred times, you don't want to get out alive! ”
