Xuanyuan Ming squatted anxiously with Lan Yi in the grass on the side of the main door of the granary, and a pillar of incense had passed, but there was still no movement. This granary is under the jurisdiction of the Great Lie Army, and only a team of about 20 people from the Great Lie Garrison is on duty here to patrol and come and go.

"Nothing, I believe you. At this time, Xuanyuan Ming had lost his patience, and he thought that Xuanyuan Hui, the elder brother of the middle hall, was still waiting for him. So he got up and was about to go.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Lan Yi grabbed Xuanyuan Ming's shirt and made him squat down again.

I saw that in the dark mountain forest on the other side of the main gate of the granary, there were faint flickering figures. The figures approached, and there were forty or fifty of them. They sneaked into a patch of grass near the door of the granary and lay down.

Look carefully, although these people are wearing the clothes of the blessed people, they are Hurong people!

They're coming here to steal food?!

The second prince, Xuanyuan Ming, was indignant, but there were many people on the other side and few people on his own, so he turned to Lan Yi and said, "How do you know that Hu Rong is coming here today to steal grain? Could it be that you are collaborating with the enemy?"

Lan Yi whispered, "I vouch with my life, I will never collaborate with the enemy, and things are not as you think, believe me." ”

Xuanyuan Ming was patient, and asked again, "Then what should I do now? It's still too late to report the city defense." ”

Lan Yi stopped and said, "No, trust me, they're not thieves, wait a little longer." ”

In fact, Lan Yi couldn't be sure what would happen next, so he could only make a judgment based on his intuition.

At this time, the patrol troops stationed here again patrolled here, and the neat ranks made the sound of neat footsteps.

I saw that when the patrol army patrolled to the grass where Hu Rong and others were hiding, a dense number of darts suddenly shot out of the grass. The patrol fell to the ground in an instant.

The Hurong people hiding in the grass ran out at a very fast speed. A few Hurong people held oil drums in their hands, poured them into the granary gate, and lit an open flame to burn the gate to the point of fierce flames.

At the same time, dozens of other Hurong people threw seven or eight rope ladders up the stone wall outside the granary at a rapid speed, and climbed to the other side of the wall at a rapid speed.

"This is not stealing grain!" Xuanyuan Ming shook off Lan Yi's hand that was holding his clothes, and said angrily. Then he hurried to the door of the granary, which had been surrounded by flames.

Xuanyuan Ming bent down to check the pulse of the patrol guards who had fallen to the ground, they were not dead, but drugged and passed out. Looking at the darts on these people's bodies, they all have skull carvings, which shows that this is exactly what the Hu Rong thieves own.

Recently, the northern border expelled the Hu Rong army and the ghost army, not only the central court, but even the people below also celebrated. Now the thieves dare not go south easily, and the garrison is somewhat proud and lax. Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day again, and there are festivals in the army. I don't want the Hu Rong thieves to choose such a night when people are impetuous and the army relaxes their vigilance to steal grain!

Xuanyuan shouted inside the gate, "Someone has stolen food!

Then Xuanyuan Ming touched the rope ladder where Hu Rong's thief was, and also followed the ladder over the wall. From afar, I saw that the thieves had run to the granary. So Xuanyuan Ming threw the thief's rope ladder coefficient outside the wall. Let you come in with your life and go out without your life today!

When the black dog beast saw Xuanyuan Ming passing, he also jumped over the wall. Lan Yi also followed Ming over the wall before throwing the ladder just now.

She saw that Xuanyuan Ming was indignant at this time, and her words and deeds were no longer controllable, so she had to follow him silently.

"It's on fire!

Tonight, only twenty or thirty patrols were left to guard the guard gate of the granary, and dozens of others were in the dining hall to celebrate, drunk and drunk.

At this time, one of the guards smelled the smell of burnt smoke and came out to see that it was indeed on fire. So he shouted at the door, and woke up a few more who could.

At this time, a few people had already carried buckets to go to the door to put out the fire, and a few people with knives hanging on their waists were stopped by the second prince Xuanyuan Ming.

Xuanyuan Ming said, "I am Xuanyuan Ming, the second prince of Fuze, today there are Hu Rong thieves who come here to steal grain, you go with me to arrest people!"

These guards with knives are Da Lie's people, and they don't recognize the person in front of them, they only think that his clothes and accessories are extraordinary. But a few guards did hear that there was indeed a second prince in Fuze Country who had just been restored to the throne for meritorious service. So he hesitated.

One of the guards secretly said to the other, "Go to the back and send an arrow to inform the northern capital." ”

One person rushed to the back to find the arrow, and several others held their knives and went to the granary of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

They ran a few hundred paces forward, turned around a house, and saw a group of thieves gathered at the door of the main warehouse where the grain was stored.

"Where to run!" Xuanyuan Ming rushed up with the guards, and the four or five Great Lie guards drew their swords and were about to fight to the death with the forty or fifty Hu Rong thieves in front of them!

At this time, the people in front of them hugged each other in fright. Look at it again, these are not the brave and cruel Hu Rong warriors on the battlefield in the past, but some unarmed people.

These men were ragged and unkempt, and their eyes were terrified.

They were men in their fifties and sixties, children under ten years old, and women who had no power to fight back. Two of the women had their sleeping babies tied in rags on their backs!

"Who are you!, dare to come here to steal grain!" the second prince Xuanyuan Ming shouted.

These Hurong people could not understand the dialect of Wuzhou, and they were frightened and hugged together, and no one spoke.

"Anyone else has come to steal grain! It must be a thief!" said one of the guards with a knife.

"I had just come from the gates of the city, and a large number of people had died in front of me, and they had killed our brothers!" said another fat man panting.

"What!" the guard with the knife drew his knife and was about to slash at the Hurongs.

"We didn't kill anyone!" shouted a young man who looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old from the crowd at Hurong.

"Wait!" Xuanyuan Ming also stood in front of the guard with a knife at this time, and said, "Listen to him finish speaking." ”

"I, we didn't kill anyone, he- they fainted. The unkempt Hu Rong boy said.

"I just touched the pulse of those people in front of me, and I should have fainted from the drug. Xuanyuan Ming said to the guards with knives. Seeing that the guards with knives would not make any moves for the time being, Xuanyuan Ming turned to the Hu Rong boy and asked, "You guys came here in the dark at night and are going to steal food?"

The unkempt Hu Rong boy bit his lip, aggrieved, his eyes were stubborn, and he stared at the ground. He was so thin that he seemed to fall down with a push. I really don't know who gave it to him today, and gave them the courage to come to the granary guarded by this great army to steal grain.

"Don't talk nonsense with them, there is only one way to die when dealing with grain thieves!" said that the Da Lie guard with a knife was about to draw his sword and slash at the Hu Rong thief.

I saw Xuanyuan Ming stop again, and said, "Are you great martyrs so anxious? Let me ask a few more questions!"

The guards with knives heard Xuanyuan Ming say this, and looked at each other left and right, but they didn't dare to make a move because they couldn't distinguish his identity.

"Anyway, if you don't say it's death today, you may be able to save your life if you tell the truth. Do you still have comrades, and who drove them to come here to steal grain?" Xuanyuan Ming threatened the Hu Rong boy.

Hu Rong people can understand the word "death" in Wuzhou dialect. Hearing "death", all Hu Rong men, women and children cried out in horror.

"Because we're hungry!"
