Volume 1: Born to Be a Hero Chapter 48: A Glimmer of Hope
Hearing what the servant said, everyone in the courtyard changed their faces. Then I heard Gongliangju curse: "This county is even more stupid than a pig! At this time, you dare to arrest people? I still think of him as smart!"
The matter of He Yi's hanging corpse outside the city must have reached the ears of the county Cheng now.
Gongliangju guessed that since General Zhao was dead, it was better to directly clear up the relationship than to make amends.
Therefore, it is very likely that the county will boast of He Yi's merits, saying that he was also deceived by General Zhao, and on the other hand, he tried to push the matter on Li Rongzhai.
Of course, this is the only right thing to do right at the moment.
But that county Cheng was also stupid, and he actually sent someone over to arrest He Yi as soon as possible?
"How could this dog officer do such a thing to frame Zhongliang! In the previous battle of the plain city defense, if General He hadn't come up with a clever plan to retreat from the enemy, this dog officer might have been arrested and divided into corpses by Li Rongzhai a long time ago! He didn't want to thank and reward, and now he actually sent someone to arrest General He! It's just too much!" Jia Shao slammed his fist on the table and said indignantly.
In his eyes, his own life was given by He Yi, or in other words, the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the entire Pingyuan County were given by He Yi.
This naturally includes the dog official of the county.
This kind of act of revenge really made him very angry.
Fan Butcher nodded and said in a deep voice: "I also know something about this. General He experienced the first battle of the city defense, and he was already quite prestigious in the military camp, and all the soldiers admired it. In this way, our plan will be better implemented. ”
Several people got together to discuss the next countermeasures, and each task was assigned.
"Is there any other news, for example, what is the reason for the forced requisition of the people this time?" asked the servant.
The servant thought for a moment, but shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly why the army was recruited. Although I serve in the county government, my position is low, but I can't get too close to the county...... It's just that I vaguely heard words like Qi Cultivation Sect and Treasure Competition. ”
"Qi Cultivation Sect...... Treasure Competition?" Gongliang Ju frowned deeply.
Since it is a treasure competition, it must take a lot of treasures to do it, so this group of civilians is afraid that they will have to ......
Gongliangju paced left and right, anxious in his heart.
If this is the case, not only will Pingyuan County suffer, but perhaps the counties and towns around Huyang will not be able to escape this difficulty.
What a sin......
"Then go and find out where the people who were forcibly recruited today and General He are being held. Whether it succeeds or not, it's all tonight!" Gongliang Ju clenched his fists and instructed.
"Yes, sir. ”
After the servant left, Gongliangju asked Jia Shao again, "You said that before you went to the dry snow forest yesterday, General He gave you 200 powerful magic arrows, which can hit gold and gravel, is this really the case?"
After Jia Shao and others fled all the way to Lirong Village with Fan Wu, they told Gongliangju the whole thing from beginning to end, which naturally also included the matter of breaking the magic arrow.
At first, Gongliang Ju didn't care too much, but at this moment, if he really had that kind of powerful magic arrow, he could also greatly improve his own strength.
"That's natural! I happen to have a few sticks with me, and if you don't believe me, you can give it a try. Jia Shao said, then took out a demon-breaking arrow from the quiver behind him and handed it to Gongliangju.
Gongliangju took the arrow, and Haosheng examined it, but did not notice any clues.
"I'll try!"
He took a strong bow from himself, and shot it himself, aiming it at a boulder behind the house.
I heard the sound of a bow on the ground, and saw that after the arrow left the string, it instantly turned into a faint golden light, which sank into the stone in an instant, and penetrated more than halfway, and the power was so great that it was smacking.
"This ...... The power of this arrow is as powerful as the projectile of Erlang's bow!" Gongliang Ju was amazed.
You must know that the projectile of his Erlang Lianzhu God Slingshot is made with gunpowder as an introduction, and ultimately relies on the damage caused by the explosion of gunpowder, rather than penetration.
But the feather arrow in front of him is clearly an ordinary feather arrow.
He had carefully checked it just now, and the materials used in this arrow, all iron and wood, were all inferior, if it had to be different, it was a mysterious and simple character engraved on the arrow.
Jia Shao was not surprised when he saw Gongliangju's surprised expression, and explained: "When General He gave the arrow, he once said that this kind of arrow is called the Demon Breaking Arrow, which is extremely powerful, when he was in the dry snow forest, an arrow shot in a hurry can break the thick scale armor of the giant python in the heart of the tree, and most importantly, this kind of arrow seems to be able to break the body protection aura of the cultivator, I have seen with my own eyes, General He used it to shoot and wound the cultivator surnamed Zhao. ”
"How can it be so powerful?" Gongliangju was surprised on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
This is an arrow that can break through the body protection aura of a cultivator!
He asked for a demon-breaking arrow from Jia Shao's hand again, held it in the palm of his hand, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
It seems that he, the former "young general", has also had a lot of opportunities.
In the secular world, why are ordinary mortals afraid of cultivators?
Is it just because of the strength of the cultivators?
No, great strength is not terrible, because worldly people have never lacked the courage to look at death as home.
You are strong, you are strong, and I am not afraid of death, even if I exchange a thousand lives of mortals for the lives of monks, I can still return this world to a bright and prosperous world.
What they were afraid of was not the strong strength of the cultivators, but the ————
Those who cultivate the truth must not be injured!
It's because of the existence of this body-protecting aura!
In the few years when cultivators first entered the secular world, in order to consolidate the status of monks in the secular world, a large number of cultivators were raised, and there were many monks in every state and city.
Not only that, but many monks began to intervene in the government and were transferred to various places to become high-ranking officials, but where did these people know how to govern?
Soon, the people's grievances arose, and many heroic warriors with excellent martial arts and skilled bows and horses began to rebel, but they were soon suppressed.
In that purge, countless warriors died one after another, but in the end, they sadly found that they had only eliminated some of the puppets that had been raised.
And the true cultivators have never really been killed.
Even, the way of martial arts that they relied on to become famous couldn't even inflict some minor injuries on true cultivators. And the muscles and physique that they had painstakingly tempered were more fragile than a ball of cotton in front of true cultivators.
So, they got scared, and everybody started to get scared.
From then on, the worldly people could no longer raise the slightest desire to rebel, and it became a situation where everyone wanted to please the monks......
And now, there is finally hope that this impregnable barrier will be broken......
"How many of these demon-breaking arrows do you have in your hand?" Gong Liangju hurriedly asked.
"On that day, General He allocated more than 200 arrows to the new barracks, but most of them were left in the dry snow forest and were not recovered in time, and now there are less than 30 demon-breaking arrows left. Jia Shao replied truthfully.
"Thirty ......" Gongliang Ju groaned and said to himself: "Enough, enough!"
...... ......
With a cacophony of metal grinding, the door to the underground prison slowly opened, and a team of brightly armored guards entered.
One of them was arrested, and it was He Yi, who was dazed, not drunk or unconscious.
"Isn't this guy stunned? A guard said.
"Who knows? that's what he looked like when I caught him earlier, and it saved me a lot of trouble. Another guard said.
“......”
These guards were not the guards of the Plains Prison, but the personal guards who were directly drawn from the county government, and they were directly under the orders of the county commander himself, and were not sent by other generals.
As for their task, it is natural to arrest He Yi so that the news does not leak out faster.
But this kind of behavior of wanting to cover up also further confirms that the county is the mastermind behind the whole thing.
"I'll leave it to you next, this person is the criminal general who killed General Zhao, you have to take care of it. After entering the prison, the captain of the guard threw He Yi into a cell, and then told the guards who were guarding here.
"This ...... Humble duty understands. ”
When He Yi was thrown into the cell, the eyes of those jailers obviously showed unbearable looks.
Although He Yi has not been in Pingyuan County for a long time, his reputation has already spread throughout Pingyuan County.
Speaking of this name, everyone in the barracks knows it, and when it comes to He Yi, everyone has to give it a thumbs up.
There are even street storytellers, who have compiled what He Yi did before into a tea-after-the-tea story called "Fighting the Night Enemy and Burning Lirong Village" to tell and recite his heroic deeds.
Such a talented person, instead of being entrusted with a heavy responsibility, ended up being imprisoned.
It's just because he killed a cultivator who tried to kill the military and civilians.
The evildoers are tolerated, but the evil punishers must be punished, is this world the world of the secular people, or the world of the cultivators?
"General He, you should be wronged first, if you need anything, just ask. After the tall county guards left, the jailer sighed helplessly.
But the drunken He Yi did not respond.
After a long silence, the jailers could not even raise any interest in their work, and rarely at the same time dropped their posts, gathered in a dark corner and drank sullen wine.
"Otherwise, let's resign tomorrow and return to our hometowns! Doing things like this, I always feel restless, and sooner or later something big will happen. ”
"I want to, too, but don't you see that the conscription is starting again? It's strange that we can get out of it......!"
“......”
The men chatted without saying a word, not noticing a team of black-clothed and masked men and horses, silently opening the door of the prison and quietly slipping in.
