Chapter 41: What is Loyalty?

Dozens of bandits with the word "loyalty" tattooed on their shirts rushed into the village with men and horses, killed people when they saw them, and burned down every house

Adultery and plunder. The sound of calling for mothers, screaming for mercy, smashing, looting and burning came and went.

The leading bandit shouted: "Brothers, listen carefully, except for the young and beautiful one, the whole village should not leave the chickens and dogs, beware of leaking the news!" A group of bandits entered the flock like wolves, and their beastly nature became wild, turning the originally peaceful and peaceful village into a fire hell.

Chen's father-in-law's house was in the middle of the village, and when he heard the movement, and some villagers came to tell him, the old couple panicked, and they didn't know what to do. When Li Yao came out, he saw that the village was in chaos, and several bandits were rushing over with knives to kill him.

Li Yao pulled out the Red Flame Ghost Head Knife and instructed the old couple: "You close the doors and windows, don't come out until I kill these bandits!"

"Little official, I can't help it, how can you be the opponent of those bandits at a young age? Don't give your life in vain, it's better to run away with us!" Old man Chen has already begun to pack his baggage and prepare to flee.

"They are fast, and if you want to escape, how can you escape? Listen to me, hide in the house and don't squeak!" Li Yao rushed up to meet the bandits, neither answering nor probing, and a few heads fell to the ground in a flash of the knife. After killing these people cleanly, Li Yao directly jumped to the roof of the village head, looking at the tragic situation around, he was even more angry. The leader of the bandits was full of foul language: "Brethren, do not patronize your own pleasure, but leave two clean ones for the general to enjoy!"

"General?" Li Yao was shocked when he heard this, how could these bandits have anything to do with the officers and soldiers? At this time, he didn't care so much, so he jumped down directly and cut off the bandit leader with a knife on his head and shoulder.

Li Yao's violent murder shocked several bandits around him: There are actually cultivators in this village! Li Yao's eyes were attentive, and he could see at a glance that the weapons used by these bandits were all the army's standard knives, and he finally understood that this was clearly the officers and soldiers pretending to be bandits to commit murder! The scene that happened in Lijia Village three years ago once again came to mind.

"You dog mongrels, go to death!" Li Yao killed the general all the way, venting his hatred. These bandits who only had the third and fourth orders of the Yellow Realm were Li Yao's opponents, and those standard weapons were even cut off by the Red Flame Ghost Head Knife. Li Yao killed more than a dozen people in a row like chopping vegetables and cutting melons, his eyes were red, he was covered in blood and he didn't know it, and there was only one word in his heart: kill!

The bandits who had rushed into the farmhouse earlier heard the fighting outside, thinking that the villagers had organized themselves to resist, and they all ran out in twos and threes. Some of the disheveled ones were obviously interrupted by a good thing, and the lustful spirit was still on their faces, and they came to the battle with knives in a scolding and scolding, only to see a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy kill his accomplices like the reincarnation of a killing god.

"Boy, I advise you to stop quickly, do you know our identity?" More than twenty bandits gathered together and surrounded Li Yao, but no one dared to rush forward.

"I don't care if you are bandits or officers and soldiers, don't even think about leaving alive anyway!" Li Yao put away the ghost head knife, and dragged out Guo Xing's big knife, with a brute force, the big knife danced like the wind, every time the knife was released, there were bandits killed; every step was taken, and a person's head fell to the ground.

These bandits used to kill the villagers like hungry tigers and sheep, but now the situation is different, and none of them are the enemies of the slender young man in front of them. This kind of violent murderous scene can only be seen in those demon warriors, and the fear left by the bandits from the battlefield has been awakened again, and there is no way to resist. In the end, the dozen or so people who were still alive were already scrambling to get on their horses and flee towards the outside of the village.

How could Li Yao easily let these people go, and chased and killed for a mile all the way, until the last person was cut off the horse, and then dragged the knife and walked back to the village with the severed arm and stump all the way.

When the villagers hiding in the house heard the sound of the fighting stopping, some of them boldly came out to look, and when they saw that the bandits had been killed by Li Yao, they all shouted loudly. All the villagers gathered, and there were less than 70 people left in the original village of more than 30 households with a total of more than 100 people.

"Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life!" someone took the lead in bowing down to Li Yao, and all the men, women and children in a village knelt down in front of Li Yao. There are also those who have lost their families and those who have been humiliated, but they are still looking for life and cannot stop crying.

"Get up quickly, run for your lives. Li Yao felt a little tired, ignored everyone's surprised eyes, went back to the village and brought the carriage over, and let Mr. Chen and his wife get into the car, "Don't pack up your things, hurry up and run in the direction of Gumu Town, run as far as you can, as long as you get to Gumu Town, you will be safe!"

"Shaoxia, the bandits have been killed by you, why do we still want to escape?" some villagers were puzzled and asked.

"The people from Zhongyi Village should have come to your village to borrow grain quite a few times, and you should also know some of those bandits. Are there any of these bandits who are familiar to you today under the banner of Zhongyi Village?" Li Yao asked, and the villagers all came back to their senses, and today these bandits are indeed all alive! In the past, the people of Zhongyi Village came to ask for food at most, and sometimes they would take out some of the goods of the traders to exchange them with the villagers, but they had never done the act of killing people and setting fire to the village, and this situation today is indeed too abnormal.

"Look at the knives used by these bandits, these are the standard blades in the barracks. If any of you are daring, lift the cloak of a few corpses and see what they are wearing inside. When Li Yao slashed at these people with a knife before, he obviously felt something unusual.

A few middle-aged men picked up the weapons of those bandits and checked: "It is indeed a weapon used by our prefecture army." Another person shouted, "They are wearing the armor of officers and soldiers!" and the villagers, who had just escaped from death, suddenly became panicked again.

"Is there any army stationed around here these days?" Li Yao asked, and while getting an old man and a child beside him into the carriage.

"Yes, since a few days ago, the Qi army in that place has been stationed at the foot of Caotai Mountain, twenty miles away, and I have gone there to collect medicine, and I have seen it from afar. Some villagers who knew the situation immediately replied to Li Yao.

Another villager echoed: "Yes, yes, I have also seen it, it is not far from Zhongyi Village, and when I came back, I joked with Liu Wu about whether they would fight." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhongyi Village has been wiped out by the Diqi army, and these are the soldiers of the Diqi army who came to your village today. Just these dozens of people are just some of them exploring the way ahead, and the real army is afraid that it will soon overwhelm them. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint dust rise a few miles away from the village, "Don't rub it off, run away!"

The villagers were in a mess, some rushed home to pack their bags, some went to lead cattle and sheep, and so on. Li Yao was anxious: "Do you want to die? Thinking that life was at stake, a village of men, women and children finally moved out of the village.

Li Yao also asked the bandits' horses to be dragged over, and some of the horses were frightened and ran away, and now there are less than thirty horses left. When they came to the main road, the thousands of troops and horses had been separated by less than two miles, and the black pressure was surging like a tide, and the word "Qi" on the black flag was already visible in the distance.

"I'm here to block, you just run to the front, and when you encounter someone, you will call for help, don't stop until you reach Gumu Town!" Li Yao urged the villagers to leave quickly. Old man Chen couldn't bear it: "Little official, you can escape with us!"

"If no one stops you, you'll soon be overtaken, and I won't be able to protect you alone. Li Yao had already taken out his spear and was ready to fight. Another villager knelt down to Li Yao: "Young man is very kind, we will never forget, if we can't repay it in this life, we will be a cow ...... in the next life."

"Get up the damn for me, hurry up and ride away! If you continue to rub like this, I'll leave you and run away first!" Under Li Yao's angry reprimand, the villagers finally stumbled on the road. Because there were not enough horses, they had to ride together. These villagers were not good at riding, and one moment someone fell off the horse, and a bunch of people helped to help them, and then the horse did not obey the call and ran away into the fields outside the road...... Li Yao looked anxious, and when the army had arrived, the villagers had not yet run out of a mile.

"What kid dares to stop in the middle of the road and get out of the way for the military master!" A bearded pioneer officer came to Li Yao on horseback, raised his horsewhip and whipped at Li Yao. Li Yao didn't answer, jumped up, stabbed the future under the horse with a shot, and flew on the horse, not taking the opportunity to run away, but rode towards the Qi army.

Less than ten zhang apart, Li Yao shouted: "I planted this tree, I opened this road;

"What a big breath! Lao Tzu has been on the battlefield for decades, and I have never seen such an interesting little ghost as you, and Lao Tzu's life money is also what you dare to ask for?" Liao Yan rode out of the horse, the black horse and black armor, majestic, because he was not wearing a helmet, a bald head was shiny, and he showed a little toughness.

"If you dare to give, I will dare to ask. I'm afraid that you don't have enough money to buy your life. Li Yao stood single-handedly in front of the ten thousand armies, but he did not show any timidity. Di Qi Xing and Di Thief Xing were beside her, but they were as anxious as ants in a hot pot: "Master, run away, how can you stop this thousands of troops alone? Those villagers will die when they die, if you take your own life, it will not be worth it!" Li Yao only didn't hear.

"Hahaha, good boy! Your temperament of not being afraid of the earth is quite to Lao Tzu's appetite. What's your name? If you don't come under my command, Lao Tzu will make you a pioneer officer!"

"Master, I don't change my name, I don't change my surname, my surname is paid, and my name is clear. I'm not a rare pioneer officer, but I can take the money. ”

"Pay it off, right, don't toast and don't eat and drink!" Liao Yan saw that this kid didn't take himself seriously at all, and faintly felt a little angry.

"Good son, what are you calling your father for?" Li Yao said with a hippie smile, deliberately finding fault and buying time for the villagers to escape.

Liao Yan reacted, and was furious, and raised his whip and pointed at Li Yao: "Dare to play Lao Tzu! Whoever takes this for me, this general will reward him with a thousand taels of gold!"

Li Yao was still not afraid, and joked loudly: "Your general only takes out such a small amount of money to want you to work for him, it's too picky! The five generals were all cultivators above the lower level of the Xuan Realm, and they ignored Li Yao's words, and ran away, trapping her in her heart. Li Yao fought fiercely with five people with a gun, these five people have been on the battlefield for a long time, their moves are ruthless, and they cooperate tacitly, which is much stronger than the three Xuanjing disciples of the Shouyuan faction before. In order to delay time, Li Yao did not use his spatial talent, which made his situation more and more dangerous, and he was almost hit several times, barely supported by his strength and agility.

Liao Yanzheng watched with great interest as Li Yao struggled like a trapped beast, with a smug smile on his face. At this time, a sergeant who had already gone to the village to inquire about the situation came back and reported: "General, something is wrong! Our advance team responsible for exploring the road has all been killed in the village in front, and all the villagers have fled!"

Liao Yan was shocked, and looked at Li Yao, who was besieged in front of him, did this kid do it? Then he looked at the villagers who fled in a panic at the end of his vision: "Damn, I've been fooled! The person who killed Lao Tzu wanted to drag Lao Tzu's army again." Boy, you must be too arrogant!" There were more foot soldiers in the army, and the overall marching speed was slow, so Liao Yan sent an elite cavalry to chase down the fleeing villagers: "Be sure to kill the pigs and sheep that slipped through the net!"

All of a sudden, the dust was flying, the war horses were neighing, and more than thirty elite iron horsemen galloped past Li Yao. Li Yao wanted to stop him, but he was besieged by five people, and he knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he rode his horse and fought hard against one of the generals. The general raised his knife to greet him, and the other four seized the opportunity to slash at Li Yao's back. There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and several long knives collided together, and Li Yao's figure was long gone on horseback.

Poof, the head of the spear stabbed out of the chest. Li Yao pulled out the gun, turned around and jumped and disappeared again. The remaining four people were all in a panic: This young man was obviously trapped in the heart, how could he suddenly disappear and suddenly appear on the periphery? Liao Yan saw the whole process clearly: "Spatial talent! No wonder one person dares to stand in front of the army. ”

Without any intention of delaying time, Li Yao flickered and disappeared among the four generals like a ghost, using her best sneak attack skills. The four of them were disrupted, just guarding against attacks that came out of nowhere at any time, their fighting spirit was lost, and the rules were all chaotic, and they were picked off the horse by Li Yao one by one after a while.

The horses of the cavalry were fast, and in a few moments they ran out of two miles, and they were about to catch up with the villagers. Li Yao secretly said that he was broken, and wanted to jump to chase after him, but he saw that there were a few more generals here who were surrounded by a group of archers!
