Chapter Seventy-Four: The End
As for directly surrendering to the government and asking for a Zhao'an's background, it is not in Tao Baisui's calculations.
What's wrong with being a good king?
Don't end up like Song Jiang in the legendary book, and end up being poisoned by the government.
Therefore, when he learned that the officers and soldiers rushed to the cottage from three sides, the first person to suspect was Ruan Shizhong.
No matter how you look at it, there are loopholes in his so-called murderous escape that cannot be concealed.
But unexpectedly, before he had a seizure, Ruan Shizhong actually dared to frame himself?
Just as he was clearing his mind and wanting to reveal Ruan Shizhong's inner identity, however, a chill rushed into his body.
It was so cold, it was the last thing he felt, and then, he lost everything.
A long, cold sword stabbed through the back of his heart, and the tip of the sword emerged from his chest.
All life is lost with this sword.
Ruan Shizhong was secretly frightened, if he hadn't had an idea to frame Tao Baisui, this sword would have been stabbed in himself, right?
"Senior brother, you climb the mountain from the back mountain to break through, I'll ...... I have injuries on my body, and I can't accompany you to wander the rivers and lakes, so let my junior brother resist for you for a while. The sincere words made Tian Guinong, who still had a trace of doubt about him in his heart, lose the last bit of doubt.
There was even a faint flash of water in Tian Guinong's eyes.
If there is an afterlife, you and I will be brothers!
Trying to restrain the grief and indignation in his heart, Tian Guinong turned around and left.
Before Xu Yang rushed into the Juyi Hall, the system had already shown that Tao Baisui had been killed and gained 50 points.
Xu Yang was a little surprised, there is such a good thing?
Isn't it just that you can earn points by killing the task object directly?
But since the system gave points, of course, he had no reason not to accept them.
By the time Xu Yang and the others rushed into the Juyi Hall, only Ruan Shizhong was still alive inside.
Ruan Shizhong's side, the corpses lying on the ground, except for Tao Baisui, are all copycat minions who fled into Juyi Hall from outside and are ready to resist, Ruan Shizhong naturally will not be merciful to such a small role.
Although his right hand is useless, he can easily handle these little minions with his left-handed sword alone.
Seeing Xu Yang coming in, Ruan Shizhong nodded to him.
Xu Yang didn't care about the life or death of anyone other than Tian Guinong, and directly asked Ruan Shizhong about Tian Guinong's whereabouts.
"He left from the back mountain, I can't stop him, if he delays any longer, he will attack me, Tao Baisui died in his hands. Ruan Shi Center informed Xu Yang about Tian Guinong's whereabouts.
Tonight, the moonlight was dim, and in this long night, Xu Yang did not plan to pursue Tian Guinong.
Tian Guinong's martial arts are not weak, and the back mountain is a cliff, and the road down the mountain is blocked by the guards, so he has no way to retreat.
Instead of risking his life now, it is easier to wait until dawn and deal with him when he has no way out and is exhausted.
The way down the mountain had been blocked anyway, unless he jumped off the cliff.
He is not the protagonist, and the setting of jumping off a cliff to obtain magic skills is not suitable for him.
However, among the guards who rushed in with Xu Yang, there were some people who couldn't wait, before Tian Guinong escaped safely, they almost couldn't explain to the above, if he let him escape again this time, how to deal with himself?
Xu Yang saw that they didn't listen to persuasion, so he didn't forcibly keep them, he just grabbed them if he wanted to, anyway, the danger was not borne by himself.
Sure enough, at the end of the night, not only did these guards who searched the mountains find nothing, but few of them even came back alive.
At this time, with the lesson of blood, the guards understood that if they did not follow Xu Yang's advice, there would be only one end, and that was death.
At this time, it was already dawn, and the moment before the twilight broke, it was just that the whole cottage was up and down, there was no usual calm, and all that was left in the world was the crying and screaming of those people in the cottage.
Xu Yang looked at the system, this night, his system points rose so fast, except for the 50 points that Tao Baisui brought to him, everyone who participated in the battle of Cangzhou brought points ranging from 10 points to 20 points, which may be determined according to their martial arts level.
However, according to the list provided by Yu Wanting before, there were a total of 17 people in the Yinmachuan Cottage who used to be the target of the mission, and now, after a night of chaotic fighting, 14 people have died, and three are still alive.
Glancing at the dozens of captured or surrendered minions kneeling in the Hall, at least three of them deserved to die.
Soon, Xu Yang found these three guys with the help of the golden finger of the navigation system.
With Erlang's legs crossed, Xu Yang sat on the highest chair in the middle of the lobby.
This position was originally the exclusive domain of Tao Baisui, but now that the Si people are dead, no one dares to sit on it anymore.
Those guards no longer cared about Xu Yang's arrogance now.
In their hearts, Xu Yang is the only one who can bring them safety.
At this moment, they looked at Xu Yang as if they were seeing gods.
The wave of people who followed Xu Yang up the mountain, except for a few unlucky people who sprained their feet on the way up the mountain, the others had almost no casualties, while the other two groups of people and horses suffered varying degrees of attrition.
And after he ordered not to pursue Tian Guinong, some guards who relied on their strong martial arts and noble birth could not understand Xu Yang's worries, and there were still seventeen or eighteen guards chasing him out.
However, as a result, the casualty ratio of these people is far greater than everyone imagined.
Among them, at least three people who could not see the road clearly in the dark night, fell off the cliff, and there were no bones except for a scream.
Tian Guinong, who was hiding in the shadows, attacked and killed two people, seriously injured three people, and a few fell into the trap used to catch animals in the back mountain, and were carried down the mountain, one of them was seriously injured, one leg could not be saved, the other three were slightly injured, and several people have not been able to come back.
There are only three people who can really return to the house intact.
The overall casualty ratio is too scary.
The number of casualties caused by the disobedience of these Ouchi guards is higher than the total number of casualties caused by the previous three-way direct attack on the cottage.
The first-class guard in the lead did not come back, I don't know whether he fell into the valley, or was killed by a sneak attack, or stepped on a trap, and is still there waiting for rescue.
Nobody knows.
It's just that now, no one dares to search for those guards before getting Xu Yang's consent.
No one dares to take this risk again.
Of course, the friendship of colleagues is important, but on the other side of the scale, it is their own net worth and life, what is a colleague?
The current guards can be said to be obedient to Xu Yangyan.
When Xu Yang decided to interrogate those minions and masters in the cottage immediately, naturally there would be no guards to object.
