Yang Fugui was not polite. He raised a big stone and hit him on the head, causing blood to flow. Then he followed Li Man and hit others with the stone.
The dagger in Xia Zhaoyi's hand was sharp and tough, cutting iron like clay. Although Fatty and his companions were on guard and not as careless as Fatty, they were still no match.
However, Xia Zhaoyi did not kill again this time. She removed everyone's weapons and attacked their legs, leaving the rest to Li Man and Yang Fugui.
Xia Zhaoyi's ultimate target is the tall man who turned around and ran away when he saw something was wrong.
After stumbling down the slope, the man hurriedly climbed up and saw five meters in front of him, a girl lazily swinging a dagger in her hand and looking at him coldly.
"You, you..." the man gasped, suddenly pulled out a big knife and slashed at her.
The knife in her hand failed several times, and the girl's body was more flexible than a loach.
There was numbness in the abdomen of his hind legs, and the man fell to his knees with a bang.
Xia Zhaoyi kicked his knife away and put the dagger on his neck.
The winter was dry, and the cold touch of the dagger became more intense, making the man tremble all over.
"What's your name?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
"Fang, Fang Genghou."
"Who is Lin Yao?"
The man frowned, suddenly gritted his teeth, turned around with all his strength, and grabbed the girl.
The girl was faster, kicked him on the arm, and then hit his back with her elbow, right at the spinal joint. Fang Genghou screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"Boss!" Li Man chased down with Yang Fugui.
Seeing the embarrassed man kneeling on the ground, Li Man stepped forward and said, "I'll do it, boss!"
"No need," Xia Zhaoyi said, swiping the cold blade along Fang Genghou's ear, "If you don't behave honestly, I will cut off your ear."
Fang Genghou's whole face was pressed against the ground, covered with sand. He swallowed saliva repeatedly with difficulty, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"What should I do so that you will forgive me..."
If there is a dead end no matter what, it will be the same whether you die early or late.
"Answer honestly."
"Answer me honestly, just, really let me live?"
"Can."
Fang Genghou took a breath: "Okay, I believe you, I, I am the mighty general of King Yi Rong."
"It's quite mighty!" Yang Fugui's laughter became louder after the fright.
"Stop talking!" Li Man shouted.
"King Yirong? The title Lin Yao gave himself?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
"right……"
"How many soldiers and horses are there in Peifeng City?"
This is a taboo for military strategists and should never be spoken out lightly.
Fang Genghou clenched his palms and said softly: "Two hundred thousand...ah!!"
Xia Zhaoyi's dagger sliced his arm without hesitation.
The wound wasn't deep, it wasn't even a cut, but the blood was real, and the fear he was experiencing now magnified the pain.
"Do you think I'm easy to deceive?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
Fang Genghou burst into tears, tears rolling down the dirty mud on his face.
"How much food and grass is there?" Xia Zhaoyi continued to ask.
"There is a lot of food and grass. I have grown a lot of food and fish in the river over the years. The harvest is very good every year!"
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows.
"Really!" Fang Genghou was afraid that the other party would not believe it, so he added quickly, "There were too many soldiers and horses in the city. The king was very angry. He didn't want to raise idle people, so he knocked down many houses and used them for farming!"
"Zhongcheng?"
"Yes, our king did not dare to leave the city. Earlier, the king killed many people in the city, so many houses were vacated. But now the king regrets it again. He said that he should not have killed so many people in the first place. We
There is a lot of food now, but the king dare not go out to recruit troops easily!"
Xia Zhaoyi completely believed this.
Peifeng is indeed a treasure land of Feng Shui. With the right time, place and people, a large amount of food can indeed be grown in Peifeng City.
But she didn't expect that Lin Yao would become like this.
Also, what she and Shen Lie originally thought was that they could use food to lure Lin Yao out, but it seemed unrealistic. The other party was short of manpower.
"What about your winter clothes?" Li Man suddenly asked, "Only food and grass, where are the other things?"
"No, none, but after those corpses were killed before, the king said to take off their clothes..."
"You kill people and then skin them?" Li Man said.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Li Man: "Those people behind, what did you do to them?"
"I killed them all."
"..."
"Don't worry, Miss Ali, I even repaired the stone! No one will be able to breathe!" Yang Fugui said.
"..."
After a while of silence, Xia Zhaoyi nodded, took back the dagger and stood up: "Yang Fugui, bandage him."
"After bandaging, you can follow us," Xia Zhaoyi looked at him, "We need someone to work as a ox or horse beside us."
Fang Genghou suspected that his ears had heard wrongly, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Yang Fugui and Li Man.
"What are you looking at?" Li Man said coldly, "My boss has never regarded us as cows and horses."
"It's up to you," Yang Fugui added, "the mighty general."
"You will be our dog from now on." Li Man continued.
Xia Zhaoyi turned around and walked towards the other side.
Fang Genghou couldn't believe it and chased after him: "Didn't you say you wanted to let me go?"
"I mean to spare your life." The girl didn't even look back.
"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped." Li Man said.
Fang Genghou's legs went weak, and his tall and burly body immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Yang Fugui," Li Man looked at his companion, "Leave it to you."
Yang Fugui was most happy to do this, so he stepped forward and kicked Fang Genghou: "Get up, I have to bandage you!"
Fang Genghou blinked his eyes, tears rolled down again, he covered his face and started crying.
The cottage where Xia Zhaoyi stayed was in front of the quiet peach grove in the northwest of Dongqing Lake.
The peach grove was all gone, leaving only a patch of dry branches.
Li Man and Yang Fugui were afraid that Fang Genghou would act recklessly, so they tied him to the bed board like a rice dumpling.
Coming out of the house, the girl sat by the lake fishing.
The fishing gear was given by an old man. The silver moonlight fell on the houses along the coast, the calm lake, and the girl's back. Everything was cold and quiet.
"Miss Ah Li." Yang Fugui walked over and called softly.
"Go check on him every once in a while," Xia Zhaoyi said. "If he is tied up for too long, his blood will not circulate smoothly and he will die."
"Then just die, this kind of person doesn't deserve to live."
"Now is not the time." Xia Zhaoyi said.
A gust of evening wind blew, ripples spread out on the lake, and the moon in the sky became zigzag and slowly returned to calm.
Yang Fugui and Li Man stood behind the girl like this, wanting to go into the house to sleep, but they felt they had nothing to lose.
After a moment of silence, Li Man said: "My boss, I've heard some things about Pei Feng. It's said that Lin Yao massacred half of the people in the city..."
The girl's back was straight and she was sitting by the lake, as if she didn't hear anything.
"How can we do this if we only have 20,000 troops?" Li Man said again.
"There were more than 20,000 when we entered the city," Xia Zhaoyi said quietly. "They have been trapped in the seal for these years and dare not go out easily. What they lack most is not only clothes, but also medicine."
"Yes, many people will definitely die of the disease."
"However, even if there are only 20,000, as long as there are knives and organization, it is not impossible," Xia Zhaoyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the moon in the lake, and his voice became softer, "War and killing are really cruel."
"Yes, by the way, boss, when will we go to Wanshan Pass this time?"
"Let's do it tomorrow." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"So fast?" Yang Fugui was stunned, "Then, where is the one in the room?"
"Take it with you, he will be useful."
"What use can he be..."
Li Man frowned and bumped into Yang Fugui with his elbow.
Yang Fugui rubbed his arms and felt that Li Man was really serious.
When he was with Kang Jian before, from Youzhou to Hengxiang, Kang Jian never corrected him on this or that. This Li Man was really picky and troublesome...
Under the same moonlight, several men followed the footprints, passed through the huge and deserted cemetery, and found the bodies of Fatty and others on the edge of the cliff.
Several men were shocked and stepped forward to check. They were all dead.
He died very miserably, with many wounds on his body and his head was smashed.
"I'll tell General Ma!" a man said immediately.
Turning around and running to prepare a report, he saw the general walking quickly accompanied by a group of people.
Afraid that the company camp in the distance would spot them, no one dared to light a fire.
Under the moonlight and in the strong cold wind, Ma Wenze came across these tragically dead corpses.
