Chapter 213: The City Head Transforms the Great King's Banner Ends
Huang Qi is just a small soldier in the Dragon Weaving City, he is responsible for guarding the West Gate, and there are a total of 500 people in the same team, all of whom listen to the words of the school captain Shi Mo, and usually take turns to guard the western wall of the Dragon Weaving City.
Huang Qi heard that Shi Mo was a son of a famous scholar family, with a deep background, and he spoke in Dragon Weaving City.
Huang Qi can be selected to guard the city gate, Huang Qi is also the pride of the family, his parents have to brag when they meet people, my son guards the city gate, and the daily rice porridge is more than another bowl of rice porridge.
Every time his parents talk about it, Huang Qi will puff up his chest and be full of momentum.
However, now, the situation seems to be very wrong, for more than a month, Shi Mo has been missing for a few days, and when he returns, he has been much more generous, and he will give them copper coins at every turn.
Huang Qi is even happier about this, proud of his duties, and conscientiously guards the city gate every day.
On this night, he was on duty and patrolled the city wall with four of his comrades, a total of five.
Suddenly, they heard a whistle blowing in the middle of the night, and the five of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and saw dozens of galloping horses suddenly galloping towards the city wall.
Huang Qi was startled and wondered, "What's wrong?" β
Before he could react, another man appeared after the horse, running very fast.
Just as a horse had come to the wall and stopped to rest, the man came forward with a knife and stabbed the horse in the belly.
The city wall was brightly lit, and this scene under the city was watched by the five people.
The five of them were shocked, and Huang Qi said angrily: "Who is killing horses in the city!" β
Although he didn't know where horses came from, in this era, horses were first-class good things, how could he kill a sturdy horse like this?
The people of the city ignored him, turned and walked towards the horses beside him.
Huang Qi's Wu Commander also reacted, and with an order, the five of them went directly down the stairs to the city wall and chased after the horse killer.
"Vunaman!"
Huang Qi went down to the city and shouted, but he didn't wait for a reply, all he waited for was a pair of cold eyes and a long knife.
The knife has already been curled, and it is very likely that many horses have been killed before, and there is still blood on the knife.
"Let's catch it first!"
The soldiers defending the city are accustomed to being majestic, and ordinary people have to listen to their orders when they enter and exit the city gate, and give them filial piety, which is very imposing.
Five people immediately surrounded him, and the man struck with a knife.
Wu Chang immediately shouted: "Be careful! β
He wanted to remind everyone that this man must be a good fighter, but he didn't have a chance to say it.
The man's knife slashed at the top of his head.
Blood ran down his forehead, staining Chief's eyes red.
Wu Chang fell to the ground, blood staining the ground red.
"Murder!"
Huang Qi was shocked into a cold sweat, they just wanted to detain people, they never thought that this person would be so strong, not to mention counterattacking, and directly cut people.
The four defenders were red-eyed and pounced on them with a whoa.
A quarter of an hour later, Huang Qi clutched his lower abdomen and looked at the corpses of his four companions, including Wu Chang, and at the thug who had not said a word from beginning to end.
Blood flowed from his forehead, slowly staining his left eye.
Huang Qi gasped, after the fight just now, he knew that if it weren't for the other party's knife curling, the five of them might not be able to take down the opponent's only one person at all.
Where the hell did this bandit come from? What is the purpose of riding horses and killing horses in the middle of the night?
Huang Qi's face was mixed with blood and tears, and he shook his nose with difficulty, which was crying.
He was so scared.
He stood up, walked over, closed his eyes for his companion, and just then he saw something tied to the horse's belly.
As a proud parent, he knows a few words, which makes him different from his peers who can't read a few words.
Blankly, he grabbed the paper from his horse's belly.
Although he was literate, he had never seen such soft and tough paper in his life.
He read slowly.
"Shiwu, Shiyi, and Shiyi did not respect filial piety, attacked their brothers, and caused trouble, and now they have been detained in the city lord's mansion. However, there are other Jiangdong thieves who have entered the city to make trouble, please guard the four gates and punish them together! β
Huang Qi was stunned and read the words on it many times.
Everyone in the city had heard about the serious illness of the Suinan Zhonglang General and Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie, and they had also heard that Shixie's three younger brothers wanted to inherit the Taishou, but he never knew what disrespect for filial piety and what kind of trouble.
What the hell is going on?
Huang Qi looked up at the sky blankly, and there was only a gray moon in the sky.
The blood that flowed from his forehead stained his vision red, and the whole sky was bloody.
β¦β¦
West Gate, a small city tower on the city, the West Gate City Guard Captain Shi Mo was sleeping soundly, suddenly was woken up, he just wanted to scold, he saw the deputy general Li Zhang standing in front of him.
Li Zhang patted his face and said, "Get up!" β
"What do you do?"
Shi Mo was surprised, and he was about to touch the knife.
The knife that had been sitting next to it was not there, and it was empty.
"I'm a child of the Shi family, what are you doing?"
Shi Mo was out of arms, so he could only yell.
"You are also worthy of the surname?"
Li Zhang stood up indifferently and drew his knife: "It's just a side branch, others respect you, thinking that you are the heir of the Shi family, but I know that the old lady let me look at you because you are nothing." Do you also deserve a surname? β
Shi Mo opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect Li Zhang, who was usually respectful to him, to say such a thing.
He wanted to say something more, but there was a flash of coldness.
Li Zhang's knife had already slashed at his head.
When Li Chang stood on the city tower with Shi Mo's head in his hand, the soldiers below looked at him tremblingly.
Huang Qi was also one of them, he originally came to report the news, reported that there were villains in the city, and showed the letter to Li Zhang, the deputy general on duty to defend the city.
Unexpectedly, after getting the letter, Li Zhang was overjoyed, and then rushed into the place where Shi Mo lived.
Then, Smoker died.
A child of a scholar family died like this?
Li Zhang coldly glanced at the city guards below, took a piece of paper and shouted: "Everyone, the three of them committed rebellion, disrespected their brothers, and have been ambushed, there are Jiangdong thieves and dogs to disrupt the order in my city, everyone follow me to get rid of the thieves!" β
There were very few responders, and there were still people here who had just been woken up, and not many people knew the situation, and everyone was at a loss.
Li Zhang sneered, pulled one out of the banner planted on the city wall, and threw it under the city.
Huang Qi saw that the word "Zhou" was originally written on the flag.
It is said that the old lady Shou Shixie was seriously ill, and his younger brother Shiwu was in charge of the Shi family, and brought in strong reinforcements from Jiangdong to help them defend against Cao thieves from the north.
The banner of Zhou Yu, the leader of Jiangdong, was also hung on the city wall.
But now, this flag, which had just been hung for half a month, was thrown under the city like this.
Huang Qi rubbed his eyes, and the blood that he had wiped dry just now came out again.
His eyes saw that the entire wall was red.
He didn't know it yet, this was the beginning of the blood-stained dragon weaving.
And the flag that was dropped was the end of a coup d'Γ©tat.
The head of the city changes, and the banner of the king.
