The torch was thrown through the narrow alley, arcing, and slamming into a man's face, burning his heart to the core.

The oil splashed and burned the clothes of the people behind them, and the torches fell to the ground and were quickly trampled on.

People gasped, cursed, and screamed.

The alley was too small, and the corpses blocked the road in front of them, and they couldn't be killed.

But the opponent was also injured and exhausted, and only the final offensive was missing.

"Kill it! Avenge Qu Shuai! ”

"Qu Shuai!"

On the other side of the corpse pile, Lao Liang pulled Jiang Hai over and scolded: "I'm injured, go!" ”

"Jiri!" Jiang Hai scolded angrily.

The people Xue Bai brought this time, including Xue Xian, are all their disciples, and they have already folded two of them here tonight, Jiang Hai is a little crazy.

If there was armor, the two of them would dare to defeat each other.

"Set fire!"

"Whew-"

The fire was rising, and firewood was piled up on this side of the alley, and even the corpses were burned, and the aroma of barbecue was permeating.

Some Caofu rushed too violently and got caught up in the fire, and he couldn't extinguish it, so he could only be burned alive.

Li San'er's head was also burned off.

"Haha, Qu Shuai? Give you back the head! Jiang Hai laughed, and in an instant, his face turned hideous.

Because Lao Liang is already wrapping his wounds.

"Sss

"Bear with me, and when the alcohol that Ah Lang said is made, it won't hurt so much."

Lao Liang got up, holding a knife in his hand, first glanced at Xue Bai to ensure that he was safe, and then sat down and treated his wounds.

Xue Bai and Xue Xin were directing Xu Ba and a few traffickers who were taken by them to do things, and they had piled up all the flammable materials in the dark house on the side of the alley wall and lit a fire to prevent the enemy from getting up, and the next thing to do was to keep adding firewood.

Drinks, furniture, silk threads, carved window frames, everything that could be burned was thrown into the fire.

It's like burning down the filth and sin here.

With fire, someone must not be able to sit still. For example, who is the real master of Yanshi County?

Whoever owns the land in Yanshi County is the master.

Before coming, Xue Bai thought that this Yanshi County belonged to 10,000 households, but he was wrong. 10,000 households occupy less than half of the acres. More than half of Yanshi County belongs to only a few households.

The Cui family, the Zheng family, the Song family, and the Guo family, this Guo family refers to Guo Lian's family, which is closer to the branch, and Guo Wanjin can't climb high in terms of family history.

These masters usually ignore them, or they are drunk and dreaming of death, or they are devoted to learning and cultivating, and conniving at the thieves to run under their noses, or even join the same stream.

But Xue Bai didn't think they were going to rebel, at most they were greedy and involved in smuggling, which Xue Bai was absolutely sure of.

This is their prosperous life, even if the emperor rebels, they will not rebel.

Look at the life of the Song family, Luhun Villa is more than ten miles of secluded valleys, picturesque, sitting on thousands of hectares of fertile land, cultivating countless slaves, the slaves dedicate the most beautiful daughters to them, only worthy of being their playthings, not even concubines, rebellion?

Did Song Mian really betray him because Wang Yanxian found out the smuggling account? Or was it because he wanted to kill Wang Yanxian and deliberately leaked the news of Gao Chong's smuggling to him?

If I don't think about it, I think Song Mian may be helpless, at least there is a little residual warmth between people, but in fact, under the huge interests, the human affection is cold, far beyond Wang Yanxian's imagination.

In short, now that the house is on fire, it is time for the owner, who is pretending to be asleep, to wake up.

Xue Bai didn't ask them to help him, but at least he could control these Caofu, so that he could naturally take advantage of the chaos to leave and continue the next plan.

Tonight, what Du Yan has to do is to show force and force Gao Chong to make a big move; Du Wulang and Cui Youfu invited the county order and the gentry to suppress the movement, because they must not like the movement too much.

Although Zhang Sanniang is fake, in Yanshi County, which is 800 miles away from Chang'an, there is no way to absolutely confirm this matter. As a result, the opinions of the county order and the county will inevitably disagree, and it will become more and more violent.

What Xue Bai had to do was to go out and add fuel to the fire.

At the same time, in the depths of the dark house behind him, there was a cabinet, and the secret passage behind the cabinet was dark.

~~

Suddenly there was a fire in the darkness.

This is the alley to the east of the dark house.

Yang 14 and Shi Chong were walking one after the other, Yang 14 was holding a long stick in one hand and a torch in the other, and Shi Zhong was eating unhurriedly.

Neither of them noticed that at a distance behind them, a little lady in red was quietly following them.

This is Li Twelve Niang.

She had already walked around the dark house, looking for a way to go in and save Xue Bai, and because she heard the conversation between the two people, she followed her.

Because of her full attention, Li Twelve Niang didn't notice that behind her, there were also people following her.

Since nightfall, Song Li has only done one thing, and that is to chase Zhang Sanniang.

What others care about has nothing to do with his Song family, as long as he gets Zhang Sanniang, the initiative is in him.

He sneakily poked his head out of the alley wall, then turned to the two men and commanded.

"Zhang Sanniang is not familiar with the terrain, you pretend to be Xue Bai's person, understand?"

"Hachiro, I don't understand."

"You say, 'I'm the county lieutenant, please come with me, little lady,' and take her home, talk to her, and get her attention, understand?"

"Got it."

Then, in the back, looking for an opportunity, poured this bottle of medicine on this cloth, poured it all, and covered Zhang Sanniang's mouth and nose. Remember, you're going to be powerless. ”

"Understood, Hachiro said it earlier, it's not the first time I've done it."

"By the way, don't bring it to my house, bring it, take it to Guo Erlang's other house, go to it......"

The two men chased after her and were about to call her.

"Hey, run, someone is going to catch you!" Suddenly, someone shouted.

Li Shiniang looked up and saw that the two people in front of her had quickened their pace and hurriedly chased after them.

~~

The maid named Hongxia couldn't explain why she came to the county lieutenant.

She had the answer in her heart, but ...... It can't be considered an answer, it can only be regarded as a blind thought. She also knows that she is stupid, and if she lets others know her thoughts, she will be scolded for being a prodigal and stupid. The daughter of a ploughing slave, a person who has fallen into the lowly family, she seems to be doing everything wrong.

In short, when she saw the county lieutenant at night, and heard that he was dangerous, she couldn't help but want to go to him.

went around all the way, and finally saw the fire shining here, and heard many people say that they came here to "catch the county lieutenant, bring him to justice, and avenge the commander of the canal", so he came over.

As soon as she turned down the alley, she was startled, because there was a familiar figure in front of her.

It was her main family Hachiro, the Song Li who promised to raise her as a concubine, promised to let her aunt live a good life, and finally abandoned her like a shoe.

Hongxia eavesdropped for a while, and already understood what Song Li was going to do, so she went around to the other side of the alley wall, and looked at a little woman in red who was tiptoeing.

She didn't want more people to fall into Song Li's hands, so she didn't have time to think about it, so she shouted out eagerly and reminded her.

The little lady in red glanced back, and immediately quickened her pace and ran away.

"You Run......"

Before Hongxia could shout again, Song Li had already rushed over and covered her mouth.

"Is that you? ! ”

Song Li scolded angrily, turned his head and said, "You guys go quickly." ”

With that, he knocked down Hongxia and kicked her hard.

"Hachiro, I've lost it."

"Jiri! Buttocks! ”

Song Li's heart was extremely painful, he hated Hongxia so much that he pulled her hair and slammed her head against the wall.

"Bang."

"Bang."

The stone on the base of the wall was uneven, and it was bloody.

"Do you know what I lost?! ! ”

The roar drowned out the footsteps behind him, and the next moment, a retinue suddenly shouted, "Who ......?"

"Poof."

A small figure scurried over like a leopard, a cold glint flashed in his hand, and a short knife slashed at the neck of a housekeeper.

It was Ren Mulan who came.

She was vicious, and before the knife was exhausted, she directly lifted it and slashed at the root of the thigh of another family. slashed the opponent so that he had no power to fight back, and then stabbed it into the heart.

Afraid that he wouldn't die, she also stirred it up.

These three knives happened between the lightning and flint, she was not very old, but her experience was very good, and when she stood up again, half of her face was stained with blood. His eyes were still full of murderous intent.

"Damn."

Song Li was so frightened that he took two steps back, tripped over Hongxia on the ground, and fell to the ground.

"Don't kill me...... Someone! Help me...... Yes! ”

Ren Mulan's knife had already been cut off, but he didn't say a word, raised the knife, and slashed again, even slashing twice in the same place at the root of his thigh.

Song Li was in pain and almost fainted.

"Pick it up." Ren Mulan said: "Eat it, and I will spare you from dying." ”

Song Li only moaned, obviously impossible to eat.

"Poof."

Ren Mulan didn't wait, and directly ended up with him.

She didn't dare to throw away the knife, picked up Hongxia with one hand, and asked, "How are you?" I seem to have seen you, you're the ...... in the dark house."

"I'm not ......," Hongxia muttered, "I'm not a prodigal...... It's not ......"

"Hold on, I'll take you to the doctor."

Hongxia only felt that she was dying of pain, and her consciousness became more and more confused, and finally recognized Ren Mulan in front of her, and muttered, "County Captain...... Is it safe......"

She didn't hear the answer again, but it was as if she saw her aunt being taken home from Luhun Villa, her home was originally on the bank of the Yishui River, with more than 60 acres of land.

She thought that she had to bring A-Niang back, and the county lieutenant said that she could also support A-Niang by weaving cloth.

At last, she seemed to see the weaving mill opened......

"Poof."

Ren Mulan got up and stabbed Song Li again.

She continued on her way, turning south from the main street, past the City God Temple, where an alley led straight to the city wall.

This is a dead alley, and the strange thing is that Li Twelve Niang clearly walked this way, but it disappeared at this time.

Ren Mulan couldn't understand, how could Li Shiniang know more about the terrain than she in this Yanshi County?

~~

It was less than two hours after nightfall, and after killing Li San'er, Xue Bai and the others only had time to set a fire.

There are not many things left in the dark house to burn.

Xue Xian then led someone to find it.

"Xu Ba, you go and move that cabinet out and dismantle it and burn it."

"Okay."

Xu Ba was so tired that he was going to die, but after glancing at the knife in Xue Xian's hand, he still brought a person to move the cabinet.

It turned out to be surprisingly heavy.

"It's weird."

"Jiri." Xue Xian didn't know who he learned from, and he kept swearing recently, scolding: "Eat dog intestines, I'll kill you if you're lazy." ”

"Handsome, it's really heavy."

Xue Xian immediately raised his knife and said, "Is it still heavy?" ”

"Why don't you believe me? This cabinet is really ......."

Xu Ba pushed hard, and the strange thing was that the cabinet was really pushed open by him.

He himself was also surprised, and hurriedly said: "Handsome, listen to me, it was really heavy just now......"

"Poof."

An iron-tipped short spear pierced Xu Ba's throat.

The gun was made of a whistle stick and an iron tip, which must have been very easy to carry, and the iron tip was removed when it was not in use.

Xu Ba's body was pushed down, and before he could fall to the ground, someone had already come out from behind the cabinet and stabbed another person at another trafficker.

Blood splattered out, and Xue Xian reacted.

He was actually stunned at this moment, and quickly turned around and ran.

"Enemy attack!"

"Brother, you're here!"

Xue Xian was already running fast, but the man was even faster, and he didn't stop walking before he ran through a corridor and was already behind him.

Xue Xin had heard the story of the battlefield told by his family, and knew that he would only be easily hacked to death if he ran stupidly, so he clenched the knife, suddenly flashed to the side, and pulled out the knife and slashed.

The iron spear stabbed through his eyes.

The opponent's weapon was longer, and he only took a step back, and then avoided Xue Xian's knife.

But the blade still swept away, cutting through the clothes, no bleeding, only one piece of inner armor was revealed.

"Jiri!"

Xue Xian hurriedly jumped over the wooden fence and shouted with all his might: "Brother! There is a. ”

Just as he jumped up, the iron spear stabbed again, directly into his thigh.

"Brother! Killer in armor! ”

……

Yang Fourteen originally wanted to jump over the wooden fence to kill Xue Xin, but when he turned his head, he saw Xue Bai.

Xue Bai stood above the small pavilion in front of him and watched the surrounding situation, he was waiting for the fire to attract more gentry before he could use their power.

This is the real head snake, in a short period of time, in terms of force, Xue Bai cannot surpass Gao Chong, so he must provoke the gentry to protect him. But just a little bit, Gao Chong still sent someone to come, to come...... One?

"Come down and die." Yang Fourteen said this and walked towards the small pavilion.

Ahead, the injured Lao Liang and Jiang Hai had already heard the sound, but they didn't panic, and said with a smile: "I guess Gao Chongneng has a few real good players, but it turns out that only one came!" ”

"Lao Tzu came here in armor, didn't expect it?" Yang XIV did not take the two wounded soldiers who were not armored in his eyes.

He was just a little puzzled, why couldn't Shi Zhong who was following behind him?

~~

In the secret passage, Shi Zhong swung his sword again.

He was at the bottom of the ladder, and after Yang Fourteen went out, he was about to follow, when he suddenly noticed something stabbing on the inner armor.

So he looked back, and was struck by a sword in the crook of his knee.

"Old sheep."

Yang Fourteen didn't hear it, and presumably was killing people on it.

Shi Chong jumped down with a single knife and slashed hard.

Just now, he clearly saw a shadowy figure, but he didn't expect the other party to retreat very quickly, and he disappeared immediately.

He lit the fire and threw it over, and saw a flash of red clothes...... The man was a little woman.

"Little slut."

Shi scolded heavily, strode forward, and slashed with a knife, but unfortunately he still didn't hit her.

These few steps touched the wound on his knee, and he frowned and turned back to the ladder.

The light shone from the door above, half bright, half dark. Looking at the light, when I turned my head again, I felt that the surroundings were darker.

Before Shi Zhong reached the exit, he had already lightened his steps, pricked up his ears, heard the footsteps behind him, and suddenly turned around and slashed again.

Cut it off again, and the little lady retreated quickly, and the sound of squirming kept going to the depths of the secret passage.

Shi Zhong hurriedly caught up.

"Poof."

A sword stabbed out of the darkness, unmistakably into Shi Shizhong's neck.

"Giggle......

He opened his mouth to curse, but only blood kept spurting out of his wounds.

Li Twelve Niang was standing against the wall, drawing her sword.

The corpse pushed down, she stepped on the corpse and walked over, crawling out of the dark passage, only to see two more corpses on the ground.

She quickened her pace and heard Xue Xian's shouting from a distance.

"Brother! Run! ”

Li Twelve Niang almost took the wrong road, hurriedly turned around and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

Dressed in red, he ran across the corridor, and saw Xue Xian limping from a distance.

Farther away, Jiang Hai fell to the ground panting, raised his hand to remember, but couldn't get up, next to him, there were three people fighting. They were fighting four and one was still a little struggling.

"Jiang Hai! Get up and kill him! An iron gun was stuck in Lao Liang's shoulder, and the barrel of the gun was held by him.

The aura of the elite border army can be seen at a glance, Lao Liang has observed, aside from Li San'er, there are only six people left who are really courageous, dare to kill officials, and can still pass under their hands, and there are only six who appear around Gao Chong.

But what they didn't expect was that they came in armor. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

"Shi Chong, kill the official!" Yang Fourteen, who was holding the gun, shouted, wanting to pull out his gun, but he couldn't pull it out, so he simply took out a dagger and stabbed it on Lao Liang's arm.

The next moment, Xue Xian pounced. Sheep Fourteen kicked him out.

At the same time, Xue Bai, who had just been knocked down by Yang Fourteen, had already gotten up and swung his knife to chop, wanting to split Yang Fourteen's neck.

Yang Shiyi raised his hand and blocked it with his shoulder armor, and the dagger also slashed on Lao Liang's arm, cutting blood, he finally snatched back the iron gun, pushed it, and inserted it into Xue Bai's neck.

For a moment, Xue Bai was returning the knife and turned sideways to dodge; Lao Liang had already picked out Yang Fourteen's eyes with his fingers; Jiang Hai is still getting up; Xue Xian was about to rush over again and hug Yang Fourteen; Yang Fourteen was thinking that Shi Zhong should have arrived.

No one knows who will win and who will lose if they are allowed to fight.

Because a sword has been inserted into Yang Fourteen's neck, it is accurate and light, like a dance.

Xue Bai had no experience in fighting, and he still slashed at the enemy's abdomen with a knife. I thought I had won the battle on my own, but I saw the tip of the sword...... I don't know if he won this time, but I know that he gained a helper.

When I came back to my senses, I saw Li Shiniang dressed in red.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm from the tunnel."

"And me!" Ren Mulan trotted all the way, "I'm also here to protect the county lieutenant......"

Xue Bai only learned at this time that there was a secret passage in this dark house. If there was no secret passage, in fact, the gentry had already arrived, and he could help him out of the siege, and he would not have to add a lot of actual combat experience; But with this secret path, his plans were also supplemented.

He wanted to force Gao Chong to make a big deal out of it, but he didn't expect Gao Chong to sacrifice all his armor, and the extent of making it bigger was completely enough.

At this time, someone had already climbed over the wall and came in, shouting that they were going to fight and kill, Xue Bai immediately went to help Lao Liang, and at the same time said to Li Twelve Niang and Ren Mulan: "You guys go and light the fire." ”

"What?"

"The more the fire burns, the greater our chance of winning...... Xue Xian, you come to help Lao Liang; Jiang Hai, get up, can you still go? ”

~~

There are alley walls on both sides of the dark house, and there are alleys next to the alley walls, which are the least likely places in the city to burn elsewhere.

"Whew-"

But the fire suddenly flared up, and even the dark house was ignited.

This is the second place to burn tonight, but fortunately, everyone in the city has been prepared to put out the fire.

A man rushed into the dark house, and at the same time, the gentry had already arrived with someone, and he was furious and shouted, "What are you doing?!" Extinguish the fire quickly ......"

"Extinguish the fire!"

"What about County Lieutenant Xue? You're not going to burn the county lieutenant, are you? ”

"This ......"

"Burned? You kill officials? Kill an official like this?! What kind of sin is this, do you know?! ”

~~

As soon as Xue Bai's fire burned, he saw on the bright side that no matter whether the foreign Zhang Sanniang was true or not, all her family guards were taken; The new lieutenant was also burned, and died a somewhat easy death.

Thinking about it again, how could Guo Wanjin and Li San'er, who died tonight, be eliminated by Xue Bai?

These two fires finally made more people feel uneasy and vigilant.

As a result, more and more gentry turned over overnight and gathered in the middle hall of the county office.

"The matter is too big, if the county has to set fire like this every time it is 'settled', how many times can Yanshi County withstand it?"

Zheng Wei of the Zheng clan in Xingyang listened to it and beckoned people: "Go and call our family up." ”

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone, on the last day of September, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass in early October~~
