A crossbow arrow shot suddenly was like pouring a ladle of hot oil into boiling water, and the scene immediately seemed to explode.
The desperate shouts of the servants and guards were deafening, and the soldiers under Yuan Zeng also roared, and these people were soon strangled together. Both sides used ruthless moves, both of which were life-threatening moves.
Then there was a scream and a cry.
Yuan Zeng's pupils were filled with blood, and he slashed and killed in the crowd with a big knife. He soon came to a head-to-head with the tough leader of the household guards.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting in the same place. Although the leader wanted to fight Yuan Zeng, his skills were ultimately inferior. In the thirty rounds, Yuan Zeng deliberately exposed a flaw, and the leader believed it. As a result,
Yuan Zeng turned his head and dragged the knife, and half of his arm was removed.
Yuan Zeng didn't wait for him to react, and went forward with another stab. A thin line of blood appeared on the throat of the servant leader, and then his body fell to the ground.
Yuan Zeng was like a god of murder, shouting loudly: "The leader of the thieves has been killed, why don't you surrender quickly!"
This violent shouting was like a thunderbolt from the blue. The servants and guards who were already inferior in skills were panicked for a moment when they heard that the leader was killed. In a life-and-death fight, if you are even slightly distracted, you will be caught by your opponent.
Seize the opportunity.
"Ah...
There were screams one after another, and in the blink of an eye, two more people were chopped down. The remaining four people had no fighting spirit, threw their weapons aside and shouted for mercy.
At this point, all the servants and nurses have been controlled.
Yuan Zeng was holding a big sword dripping with blood, and looked back with tiger eyes, but the military leader Liu who had just screamed was missing.
Even with your toes, you can guess that the crossbow arrow that completely disrupted the situation was shot by Commander Liu at his command. The purpose was to muddy the water so that Steward Lu could have time to escape.
Yuan Zeng reported to Yu Wenzhi and continued to lead people to attack various houses.
Yu Wenzhi immediately gave the order, but in the blink of an eye, Chen Chang and Gu Du were missing. He couldn't help but be very surprised.
Wang Huan and Wei Chuanzheng noticed something was wrong at this time. Wang Huan asked: "Wei Xiaowei, where is the person named Chen?"
Wei Chuanzheng's expression was astonished. He had given Chen Chong a hand just now, but he didn't care when the fight broke out.
Wang Huan stamped her foot fiercely: "This damn coward!"
It was too late to pay attention to Chen Chang, so he led Wei Chuanzheng and others from house to house to look for Lou Qingyi.
Almost at the same time, Manager Lu asked his henchmen to carry Lou Qingyi, who was wrapped in a quilt, and entered the secret passage. Manager Lu was very cunning and had opened up the secret passage in the house early.
The entrance is under the bed of the room where Lou Qingyi was detained.
The secret passage was very narrow. The henchman was carrying a big living person. He was out of breath after walking a few steps. He complained a little: "Master Steward, it's fine for the two of us to escape from now on. Why are we still carrying such a big man?"
A burden?"
Manager Lu held up an oil lamp and said with a pale face: "What do you know, you idiot? This girl belongs to the young master. We have gone through all the hard work just to get this girl and dedicate it to the young master. Should we just leave her behind?"
Here?"
The confidant clicked his lips and said nothing further. Even if he exited the secret passage, it would be difficult for him to leave Ziling County safely with such a woman.
At this time, Manager Lu only had one confidant beside him. Thinking that things are different now, what he said just now was a bit too harsh. He patiently comforted him and said: "Don't worry, only you and I know about this secret passage, and it's secret."
The exit of the road is very hidden, and it's dark, so they can't find us."
Manager Lu had never spoken to his confidants so kindly before, and his confidants were deeply moved.
Manager Lu said again: "Don't worry, we will be lucky if we survive the catastrophe. As long as we leave Ziling County, there will be people outside the city to help us. I will naturally ask for your credit, young master, and you will be indispensable."
Benefits!"
"Thank you, Mr. Steward!" After hearing this, his confidant was immediately elated. He also hoped that one day he could be as distinguished as Steward Lu.
Walking along the twists and turns of the secret road, I was sweating profusely soon. At this time, the shouts of death from the ground behind me became smaller and smaller. Manager Lu sighed heavily. He had planned it well, but it failed.
Because a handsome young man made a mistake, and it was too late to regret it.
Continuing forward, I walked out of an empty house. This house was also bought secretly by Guanshi Lu and his confidants.
The two sneaked out of the secret passage, not caring about their disgraced appearance.
The confidant put Lou Qingyi on the ground, breathing heavily.
Manager Lu looked at the original house a hundred feet away and saw torches flashing, as bright as day. He listened carefully and found that there were no more shouts of death, only shouts, and he must be searching.
It won't take long for someone to discover the entrance to the secret passage. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Manager Lu called on his confidants to get the person on his way quickly.
Steward Lu quietly opened the door a crack and looked outside, only to see no one outside. Feeling a little relieved, he made a gesture to greet his confidants, and the two of them came to the street. They had just turned a corner.
, they met four or five black figures, and Manager Lu was immediately frightened to death, but it was too late to dodge, the other party had already discovered them.
"Who's ahead?"
A loud shout came from the opposite side.
When Manager Lu and his confidants saw that something was wrong, they turned around and ran away.
"Stop, if you run away again, I'll let you try my crossbow arrows!"
Steward Lu and his confidant's shirts felt cold when they heard this. The confidant stopped immediately. Steward Lu ran a few steps forward. He turned around and tried his best to call his confidant to run, but the confidant seemed to have roots under his feet and could not even take half a step.
Willing to move.
The confidant said with a bitter face: "Master in charge, I don't want to die yet!"
In a short time, those few people caught up.
"Who is it? Why are you so sneaky late at night?"
After getting closer, Manager Lu saw that the other party was dressed like a soldier, and he couldn't help but feel his calves twisting, and thought to himself, it's over.
"Let me see who he is?" Another rough voice came, and almost at the same time, a big man walked up to Manager Lu.
When Manager Lu saw this person, he immediately beamed with joy, God will not stop me!
It turned out that this person was none other than Commander Liu who sneaked out of the house. After he ordered people to disrupt the positions of both parties, he immediately led the people to escape because he knew very well that in this situation, he would take the initiative to save Lu.
Being a steward was no longer practical, so he could only buy some more time for Steward Lu. As for whether Steward Lu could escape, it all depended on their luck.
"Military Lord!"
"Guanshi Lu!"
When Manager Lu saw Army Master Liu, it was like seeing a relative. He said miserably: "Master Commander, help me. Those people are simply robbers and bandits who broke into my house. Master Master, please save me. Please save me."
Ah..."
Liu Junzhu said solemnly: "Manager Lu, I have done everything I can do for you. Now I only have four soldiers around me. I am no match for Yuan Zeng. You should just ask for your blessings, right?"
p>
"Ah?...Military Master, you..." Manager Lu didn't expect that the other party would be so heartless. He pitied himself for giving him money, silk and beautiful women, but this person turned out to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
Manager Lu was unwilling to give in, and begged for help, promising huge profits. However, Commander Liu also weighed the situation and thought he was incapable of rescuing him, so he resolutely refused to help.
Later, Commander Liu was really upset by Manager Lu. He pulled out his knife and threatened: "Lu, if you pester me again, don't blame me for not remembering our old relationship!" Now he just killed Lu.
It's not impossible to take charge of things, so no one will know about the dirty deeds between them.
Manager Lu revealed his murderous features to Commander Liu, and he was obviously intent on murdering him. He and his confidants, along with a woman, were their opponents. He rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said, "In this case, Commander Liu, don't blame him."
I don’t miss my old love when I’m old.”
Commander Liu's eyes widened: "You old man, you still dare to threaten me, Commander, I think you are tired of living." After that, he put the knife on Manager Lu's neck.
When the confidants on the side saw that the other party was going to kill someone and silence them, they were so frightened that they sat down on the ground. Lou Qingyi also fell from his shoulders. Even though she was wrapped in a quilt, she still let out a low groan after being thrown.
Liu Junzhu and others were instantly attracted by the sound coming from the quilt.
Liu Junzhu asked with a lewd smile: "Is there a woman surnamed Lu inside?"
Manager Lu said: "Yes, she is a woman, and she is a stunning woman. If the military leader is willing to save me, I will give her to you!"
Liu Junzhu chuckled: "Lu, do you really think I'm a piece of shit? If I kill you, this woman is not mine. Do you need to give it to me?"
Manager Lu seemed to have thought that he would say this, and said: "Master, you underestimate me. I have written a letter long ago and handed it to my confidants. If I can't get out of the city before dawn,
, someone will send the letter to your camp, even to the governor of Jiangling and the Chang'an court."
"A letter?" Liu Junzhu didn't react for a moment, "What letter?"
Manager Lu chuckled: "Of course it is the friendship between you and me for so many years. It is clearly written in the letters. Don't worry, I will never testify against the military leader without any evidence."
After hearing this, Army Master Liu's eyes widened and he exerted force on his hand. The blade instantly pierced the skin on Steward Lu's neck. He said angrily: "You old man, how dare you harm me like this? I'll kill you if I don't!"
Manager Lu bared his teeth. He was also betting that in fact, the so-called letter did not exist at all. In order to save his life, he could only say so.
If Commander Liu insists on killing him, it will be his life too!
At this moment, time seemed to have stood still. It was very uncomfortable, and Manager Lu’s heart was tormented.
Suddenly, he felt the pressure on his neck lessen.
At this moment, he knew that he had made the right bet.
Lord Liu colluded with local officials and gentry, and often oppressed the people. Although these people were the people of Houliang, Da Zhou would definitely not offend Hou Liang and the people of Hou Liang for a small military leader. Who doesn't know that Da Zhou has always been there
Win people's hearts.
Sure enough, Commander Liu put away his knife and said dejectedly: "Okay, I will trust you this time and find a way to take you out of the city."
When Manager Lu heard this, he was overjoyed and crossed his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Commander."
"Hurry up, or if you don't leave, that lunatic named Yuan will come after you." Liu Junzhu was extremely annoyed. He really wanted to kill this old fox with a knife.
Manager Lu helped up his confidant, who had already weakened from fear, and scolded him in a low voice for being useless.
The confidant had been scared out of his wits for a long time. It was difficult for him to walk alone. How could he still carry a big living person like Lou Qingyi?
Upon seeing this, Commander Liu ordered one of his own soldiers to carry him on his back, and then strode forward with Manager Lu.
He has a badge to get out of the city, and he is from the military camp of Zhou Dynasty, so the soldiers guarding the city have to give him some bad treatment.
But my confidant was so frightened that he walked as if he were stepping on cotton, and soon fell behind.
When Manager Lu saw it, he felt worried and urged him several times, but the confidant was really like mud and couldn't hold up the wall, and he walked slower and slower.
After seeing this, Commander Liu became even more furious. He turned around and strode back, killing his confidant with one blow. The confidant immediately let out a shrill scream, with an incredible expression on his face, and stared blankly at Commander Liu.
I never expected that I was about to escape, but lost my life here.
I don’t want to die, I’m not willing to give in!
Guanshi Lu has also eaten a lot. This confidant has been with him for many years and has some abilities. The most important thing is loyalty.
.
Manager Lu looked at Commander Liu in astonishment, his lips trembling: "Master Liu, you... why... you... killed him?"
Commander Liu rubbed the blood on his sword a few times on the corpse of his confidant, and said viciously: "This man is as timid as a mouse. Sooner or later he will ruin our affairs. What's the use of keeping him?"
Manager Lu couldn't say a word and stamped his feet angrily.
Several people walked along the street towards the city gate again.
Let’s talk about Chen Chang and Gu Du.
The two realized that Manager Lu might have a secret secret, so they went out to look for it.
It would be impossible to rush around the house. Even if they found the exit of the secret passage, Manager Lu would have already left with Lou Qingyi.
At the critical moment, Gu Du had a way. She easily climbed up the wall and found the highest ridge to stand on. The terrain here was higher and she could overlook several surrounding streets. Although it was night time
, but the moonlight is bright and the sight is very good.
Chen Chang looked at her from the ground. He was so dazzled just now that he couldn't see clearly how she got up.
"Hey, did you see that?"
"Why bother? They just came up!" Gu Du complained.
Chen Chang was worried. If Lou Qingyi was transferred again, it would be difficult to find her again.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get up, so he could only worry about it down there.
Gu Du's anxiety was no less than that of Chen Chang. Although she was not familiar with Lou Qingyi, as women, she sympathized with Lou Qingyi's experience. In the past few days, Xiao Yu'er told her a lot about Lou Qingyi.
Qingyi’s story.
"Hey, did you see that?"
"Why bother? If you're in a hurry, come up yourself! I'm so angry... Oh, there, there, there's someone there..." After saying this, Gu Du became excited.
