Chapter 55 The bell rings in the sky above Beiliang City

The rain in heaven shows no signs of cease,

The rain ticked continuously on the bluestone slab, and the white and red peach blossoms in the yard were knocked down by the rain, and the ground was a mess.

This peach tree is the only decoration in the courtyard, when I was very young, I remember that the house in the capital is full of peach blossoms, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard are beautiful every March.

There are no peach blossoms in Liangzhou,

It's very simple, you can't feed it,

But since the woman in her memory took a sip and didn't understand the rough man, the cheap daddy was rarely arrogant, and spent a lot of money to move hundreds of peach trees from the gate, but only this one has survived after so many years.

It's a pity that she died later,

Occasionally, I will hear Uncle Bai say that his father often sits under this peach tree in a daze, and he sits all night, if it weren't for this peach tree in the Hou Mansion, he might not return to the house for a year and a half.

Looking at the peach blossoms scattered on the bluestone slab, Xu Xian was inexplicably a little upset.

"A rainy day is a good time to kill. ”

Putting aside these thoughts, lying on the wooden chair in the courtyard, Xu Xian looked at the sky that had completely gloomy and muttered.

No one understood the meaning of his words,

Tonight, all the family gate lords will besiege Beiliang City,

In order to be foolproof, only four people know, Sikong Pick Stars, Cheap Dad, Qiu Senior, and himself.

I seem to be really related to rainy days,

How long has it been since you came into this world?

But in just half a month's work,

On the shore of Yishui Lake, Xiakou Town, the two major battles were on rainy days,

It also rained heavily in Beiliang City tonight,

Maybe after a long time, you will really like the feeling of killing people on a rainy day.

Outside the Beilianghou Mansion,

The two sneaky figures, hidden in the rain, talked in a low voice for a while, looked up at the Hou Mansion and did not have any abnormal movement, the red-clothed and black-armored guards at the door were only patrolling in the ranks, and the sound of boots neatly stepping on the bluestone slab was also covered by the sound of the rain.

"When the flood comes, close the doors and windows!"

Two groomers dressed in robes,

One with a gong in his hand and a bang in his hand, shouted in the long street.

"When the flood comes, close the doors and windows!"

"Knock-knock! knock. ”

The sound of playing more is one fast and three slow,

This is the fourth time to play the shift,

At that time, the entire Liangzhou City was pitch black, except for the lights that were less than the rich and noble.

It is the husband who fights at night, and he has obviously accelerated his pace, the rain is surprisingly heavy, even the clothes on his body can't stop the raindrops of this bean, and there are only five watches in the city, because people have already gotten up early on the sixth watch.

The fourth watch day is the time of the son,

There are already hawkers in the morning market, the tofu grinding workshop is open to the door, the vegetable vendor pushes the wooden cart to the city gate, and the old man who sets up the noodle stall also gets up early inexplicably......

At the gate of the city, three or five old soldiers are chatting with melon seeds, pouring a sip of soju from time to time, people are old, and their legs are cold at night, so they can drink two sips of wine to warm up their bodies, which has been a habit for many years.

Through the heavy rain curtain,

Even if the brazier is lit in the doorway,

The sight of ordinary people is only more than ten feet,

When the old man looked up, the street in front of him was already full of vendors, and the wind was blowing, and the fire was flickering and dimming.

"Old man Liu, when you are a child, you came out to set up a stall so early?"

"Didn't you earn money yesterday and was kicked out by your mother-in-law?"

An old pawn quipped as he looked at the familiar face.

But soon the sound stopped abruptly,

There are more and more hawkers in sight, who have been in this city for more than ten years, and almost all the people of the three religions and nine streams know each other, but the familiar face looks a little strange at this moment.

"Old Li Tou in the vegetable market, why are you thinking about going out of the city to get vegetables by yourself today?"

No one in the audience replied, and the old pawn looked a little funny,

The old pawn didn't care, still joking, his hand had touched the back of his body and grasped the hilt of the knife.

"Touching ......"

Those plain faces in the city were very numb, without the slightest expression, and the oilcloth above the cart was suddenly lifted, revealing hundreds of bright sharp knives.

When the hand holds the knife,

The plain countenance became hideous,

When the hand holds the knife,

They are no longer street vendors in the city, shouting and selling vegetables.

There is no shouting of killing,

Just quietly holding the sword and rushing to the city gate,

Several old pawns at the gate of the city have drawn their knives, and an old pawn with a missing leg is surrounded in the middle, and the figure that was originally leaning on the building is straight, and it looks sluggish in the rainy night.

"There are thieves attacking the city, and ...... quickly"

"Ho Ho ......"

Before the old pawn's words fell, the long knife slashed through his neck, and a swordsman dressed in black was already standing behind them with a knife.

In less than a breath, three or five old soldiers fell in a pool of blood, the knifeman frowned slightly, the long knife wiped his body on the corpse, and disappeared into the rainy night.

The old pawn on the city wall also noticed that something was wrong,

The heavy rain drowned out most of the sounds, the smell of blood was diluted by the heavy rain, and more than ten years of comfortable life did not alleviate their instincts of danger, and the events of tonight gave them a hint of something unusual.

Subconsciously looking at the bell tower,

But more than ten steps away,

It's a pity that there are already three men in black in the middle, and the shouts are useless at this time, and they can't reach far in the heavy rain, and only the bell tower is the only hope.

The man in the lead was holding a long sword, and the disdain in his eyes was overflowing, but there were only dozens of bad old men, and the two companions on his side didn't care too much, and killed them with a few knives.

Holding the Pu knife in his hand, more than 50 old soldiers rushed over, and the soles of their boots stepped heavily on the water, which was an indomitable momentum.

The years have slowed down the knife, but the momentum has not weakened in the slightest.

When the Pu knife in his hand met with the long sword that roared through the air, there was a soft sound, and the Pu knife broke in response, and the tip of the sword pierced into the heart, stirring slightly, and one person fell to the ground.

Another knife fell,

An old pawn's entire arm fell to the waterlogged ground, his face was already distorted in pain, but he still didn't shout, he quickly bowed and rolled, holding the Pu knife in his left hand and gritting his teeth and swinging out......

After three or five breaths, the walls were empty,

Only stumps and severed arms were left, and the rain mixed with blood flowed down the mouth in the city tower and down the city wall.

The gates of the city were opened,

The peddler with a sharp knife stood by the door,

Outside the city,

Countless men dressed in robes and armed with sharp weapons poured into the city, and under the dim sky, through the light of the fire, you could see the dark crowd and the black oppressive human heads.

On the tower of the city,

"Ho Ho ......"

An old pawn crawled out of the pile of corpses, his arms had been severed, blood was constantly spurting out from the wounds, and his trembling body seemed to be about to fall to the ground in the next second.

There were still five steps closer, but his body could not maintain his balance, and he fell in a pool of blood, his cloudy eyes were a little blurry but stared at the big bell.

Curled up on the ground, legs writhing,

I don't know how long it took,

Maybe it's a pillar of incense, maybe it's a cup of tea,

Looking up, I have seen the quaint body of the bell,

How do you ring the bell without your arms?

Struggling to stand up against the wall, his head hitting the bronze bell,

The bell shook slightly, and no sound came out.

The old pawn took a few steps back and suddenly stepped forward,

The skull was cracked, there was a brain outflow, and a dull bell came out, the sound was not loud, but the old man who was a hundred feet away heard it, and he couldn't see the scene over there, but there were tears flowing out inexplicably.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The dull bell rang in Beiliang City,

The thieves on the street are not hiding their bodies when they see this.

"Kill the anti-thief father and son!"

The earth-shattering roar was heard all over the streets,

With the sound of heavy footsteps, the snapping sound of the soles of the boots lifting and stepping into the stagnant water again, the grinding sound of sharp knives coming out of the sheath, and the black crowd poured like a wave towards the Beilianghou Mansion in the most center.
