The county seat is not big, and the roads are narrow, but the road surface is very compact, and it does not look too muddy after heavy snowfall.

There were many pedestrians on the streets, but they were all in a hurry, with sad faces, and many of them wore swords, and they had to eat without leaving them.

There is only one commercial street in Gu'an County, and there are two restaurants that provide accommodation, one is called Fanjia Restaurant and the other is called Ping'an.

Chen Ziang and his entourage entered this Ping An Restaurant, the restaurant is not big, fortunately, the remaining rooms are enough for a few people to rest.

The second child in the hall is the boss's youngest son, and the kitchen is controlled by the eldest son and his wife, and the boss is a short old man, with a loud voice and a roaring voice.

Now he's roaring.

"Mother-in-law, hurry up and clean up the remaining four rooms upstairs, there are distinguished guests to stay!"

A thin woman with a wrinkled face ran out from behind silently, and went up to the second floor quickly, without saying a word during the whole process, more like a mute than Chen Ziang.

The shopkeeper looked at his mother-in-law with a satisfied look, she can work, she doesn't complain, she eats less to feed, this is his good wife!

"Hurry up and get us food, let's rest early after eating, seeing that it's almost dark!"

Jian Sha Sun Hou patted the table impatiently and urged two sentences.

"Wait a minute, I'll be here soon, I'll serve you a few ready-made cooked food and drinks first, you can use them first." ”

"Hurry up. ”

Sun Hou nodded with a dark face.

At this time, it was not early, and the pedestrians on the street had already returned home, and several of them were tired, just thinking about an early rest, no wonder the attitude of the sword was a little bad.

At night, the land was already silent, except for the gentle breeze outside the window, the occasional barking of dogs in the distance, and the silence of the deserted streets.

Dong Yun'er, who had been lying on the couch on the ground tossing and turning, couldn't stand the torment of the sleeping demon and fell into a deep sleep. On the bed, the futon had been given to the little maid on the ground, and Chen Ziang was cross-legged, holding his hands above his head, breathing as if he had fallen into a fixed state.

There seemed to be some noisy sound in his ears, Chen Ziang's eyelids moved slightly, he opened his eyes suddenly, frowned and got out of bed, and reached out to push the sweet-looking maid on the ground.

"Ahh

Dong Yun'er clutched the futon in front of her with both hands, pulled out the folds, and her confused eyes revealed panic.

Chen Ziang shook his head, ignoring her self-righteous feelings, walked quickly to the window, and stretched out his hand to push the window open.

The cold wind struck, making Dong Yun'er behind her shrink, stretching out her head to look out, and her small mouth couldn't help but open wide.

I saw a fire burning in the distance, and from here you could see the sky-high flames, dyeing the nearby sky with a patch of orange.

The noise grew louder and louder, and gradually became audible.

"Young master, a thief has invaded the city!"

Dong Yun'er's body slammed into a spirit, and she opened her mouth to scream.

A few hours ago, at the city gate where Chen Ziang and a few people entered the city, the drawbridge had already been raised, and hundreds of soldiers were guarding this city gate with a serious face, and there was a small military camp in the city not far away, and more soldiers were stationed here, and they could quickly rush to the aid as soon as there was any change on the city wall.

The torches burned brightly, and the coals in the iron basin reflected the reddish faces of the soldiers who patrolled back and forth.

"Brother Mu, come to take over so early?"

The officer guarding the city grinned and greeted a strong man in armor.

"The hour has come, I'm afraid that if I haven't arrived yet, I will be scolded to death by your monkey in my heart!"

The officer surnamed Mu laughed and patted the other party on the shoulder.

"By the way, how did Brother Li gain today?"

"Thanks to Big Brother Hongfu, today's harvest is good. ”

The officer surnamed Li was short, and his face was wrinkled, "Also, Brother Mu, don't pat me on the shoulder anymore, I can't stand your strength." ”

"I think it's time for you to practice, isn't it a shame for your uncle to be so weak?"

The officer surnamed Mu shook his head and looked at the thin friend in front of him with regret on his face.

"Say more, say more!"

The officer surnamed Li snorted, waved his hand again, and said: "I arranged for the Fan family restaurant to prepare a table of wine and food for my brother today, and my brother should relieve his boredom at night!"

"Oh!"

The officer's eyes lit up, his throat bone rolled back and forth a few times, and he said with a smile: "Brother has a heart, but brother is disrespectful!"

"What are you and my brothers polite!"

The officer surnamed Li smiled, and the two of them saluted and said goodbye.

In a short time, a few servants pushed a small cart towards the city gate.

"What are you doing? It's forbidden to go out at night!"

Two defenders of the city came up with spears.

"What are you shouting, they are the restaurant to deliver food to Lao Tzu, let them come over!"

The officer surnamed Mu on the city wall poked his head out and shouted downward.

"Yes, General!"

The two soldiers got out of the way, and a few of the men pushed to the city gate, and quickly unloaded the things on the cart.

"Hey, there's so much stuff today?"

The officer who got off the city wall looked at the food boxes in front of him in surprise and the mountain of wine cans, but he didn't notice that the little guy who delivered the food today had changed a few people.

"General, we are all running errands, but we just do what the owner orders, and I don't know how it was arranged. But you don't have a lot of people here, don't you have a lot of wine?"

A guy bowed his head and replied.

"You know what? How can they drink and still defend the city?"

The officer surnamed Mu roared with a tiger face, patted the wine jar in front of him with a distressed face, and said in a low voice: "There is so much wine, that guy Xiao Li won't prepare it for everyone here, right?"

The little guy next to him was about to open his mouth to speak when he heard this, but he was quietly pulled by a person behind him and closed his mouth again.

"Forget it, it's okay to drink some wine to warm up in this weather, let's go!"

"Yes, yes. Our Fan family's wine is famous in the township, so let's taste it slowly!

A few small men pushed the cart back the same way, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

"You lazy people, you have a good mouth today! A few people have a can, take it and divide it!"

The officer surnamed Mu swept around the group of soldiers who were chopping in his throat, laughed and opened his mouth.

"Thank you, General, General Rende!"

"Thank you, General!"

A group of soldiers thanked each other, and some of them had already run over in a hurry, and five or six people ate a jar.

"I tell you, if you eat wine and eat wine, you can't miss the right thing!"

The officer surnamed Mu laughed and scolded a few times, also mentioned Tan wine, and beckoned a few soldiers who came close to pick up food and enter the hut downstairs.

After a few incense sticks, there was silence near the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city were silent for some reason.

More than a dozen figures swooped down silently from a distance, each agile and powerful, and several of them were the little guys who had sent wine and food not long ago.

In the hut downstairs under the gatehouse, the fire was red, which made the small room full of warmth, but the mood of the officer surnamed Mu was cold.

He struggled and glared angrily at the man in front of him, he couldn't believe that this honest-looking Ma Jian would do such a hot thing. Six colleagues at a table, he thought that they were all intersecting and could be entrusted with life and death, but he didn't want this brother Ma Jian to stab the other four people with a knife in front of him!

"You...... , I, Mu Chun, am really blind, and I actually recognize you as a brother!"

Mu Chun's muscles and bones were numb, and he couldn't exert any strength in his whole body, only his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't wait to eat the other party.

"Brother Mu, I'm really sorry, thanks to your care these days, it's my brother who can't stand you, and my brother will make amends to you when he gets down in the future!"

Ma Jian's face was honest and majestic, and he was sighing with emotion at this time, and after his voice was behind, he wiped the Pu knife a few times on the corpse of a person next to him, wiping the blood on it.

In a flash of the sword, the officer surnamed Mu had already landed on the ground, and his face was full of remorse!

"......"

The small door was kicked open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a night suit walked in, the man's eyes were staring, his eyebrows were thick, and the skin on his face was a strange red light.

"Brother Jiao Ting, this has been solved. ”

Ma Jian put away the Pu knife in his hand and bowed respectfully.

"Well, Brother Ma did a good job!"

The red-faced man Jiao Ting nodded, reflexively went out of the door, and jumped towards the city tower with a few people outside the door, the city wall was seven or eight meters high, and the stairs were more than ten meters long, Jiao Ting jumped up in three steps.

Sweeping his eyes, the few people who were still standing were his brothers, nodded and then took out a bamboo tube from his arms, there was a string under the bamboo tube, one end was aimed at the sky, Jiao Ting pulled the string, a red light rose to the sky, flashed in the sky a few times and disappeared, if you don't pay special attention, no one will notice.

"Boom ......"

The sound of thousands of horses galloping in unison could be heard in the distance, and the drawbridge at the city gate was slowly lowered, welcoming the crowd surging in the darkness in the distance.

"Drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and a hazy figure could already be seen under the light of the fire candles at the city gate, which was as many as a thousand armored elite horsemen galloping wildly, and there was a faint sound of foot soldiers walking on the ground behind them.

"Boom la la ......"

The riders on the front few horses held high a black banner with four blood-red characters written on it: Taiping Wang Li!

It was the army of Li Shun, the king of Taiping, who attacked.

The war horses galloped, pouring through the city gate in an endless stream, when the first person had no armor, but a robe, and his appearance was also extremely elegant, only the eyes were shining, which was fascinating.

"Shan Ming, you take 500 people to the armory! Song Dingguo, you lead people to the granary, be sure not to be burned with grain!"

The man's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence, which made people feel impressed after listening to it.

"Whoa!"

Shan Ming wears a red tassel on his head, a jet-black iron armor, a protective mirror on his chest, and dark cloud boots on his feet, with a majestic figure, a clear angle on his face, and a cold face.

"Got it, Mr. Wei. ”

Song Dingguo was dressed in soft armor, wearing a brocade robe embroidered with beasts, his long hair was tied together with a ribbon at will, and his originally handsome face was used to spend a lot of tricks with sharp weapons, leaving Taoist scars, but this person looked casual, and his voice was full of laziness.

Mr. Wei nodded, and said softly to a man beside him: "General Guan, please also kill the defenders of the county seat, don't let them get together, and we will clean up slowly after dawn." I took the rest of the people to the county government and took down the Liu family. ”

"Mr. Wei, please rest assured, leave it to me!"

This man's face is like a heavy jujube, his lips are like painted Zhu, his eyebrows are in the sideburns, his eyes are bright, and he has a good appearance.

He was dressed in heavy armor, wearing a dark green robe, carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd, and holding it on horseback with his own Ling Ling's might.

While a few people were talking, the soldiers behind them also began to separate, and the rumble sounded in front, and several cavalry generals with hundreds of people had appeared at the end of the street, and the guards of the county town finally came to their senses and wanted to recapture the city gate.

"Good time!"

Guan Tiansheng, who was holding Fang Tian's halberd, clamped his legs, and the horse under his crotch had already suddenly pierced out, rushing towards the three guards wearing battle armor on the opposite side.

"Who is coming, and why are you attacking my county?"

A man on the other side shouted loudly as he drove his horse forward.

Guan Tiansheng raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and shouted: "If you don't die if you take me, tell you my name!"

"What a big breath!"

The man was furious, and with a spear in his hand, he had already rushed towards Guan Tiansheng.

"......"

The blades clashed, making a piercing sound, and a spark swept along the barrel of the spear against the man's neck, and a great head rose into the sky!

"General!"

The two people behind him let out a mournful cry, one with a gun, and one with a one-armed bronze man weighing 100 catties rushed over frantically.

"Good!"

Guan Tiansheng laughed, the horse did not stop, and the people and horses held Fang Tian's halberd and staggered with the two horses on the opposite side.

"Poof!"

The two half-cut corpses fell to the ground suddenly, and the five internal organs and stomach were sprinkled all over the ground.

The audience is quiet!
