The government soldiers rushed up and beat everyone like pirates without caring about the crime. There was something strange behind this. Qin Huaidao was furious. His pupils narrowed and murderous intent burst out. He shouted: "Guard team, shoot the general! The others are holding back."
The fifty members of the village guard raised their repeating crossbows and locked onto the rushing generals. The accompanying Wolf Camp also took out their repeating crossbows, their eyes as cold as frost.
The battle with Japan not only boosted morale, but also boosted self-confidence!
"Boohoo!"
Crossbow bolts roared away, rushing towards the general and his bodyguards.
"ah--"
Screams rang out one after another, and countless people fell down. Even the general was hit by several crossbow bolts. His body froze, and he stared straight ahead. He collapsed and died with his eyes closed.
"Stop, stop charging." An officer among the soldiers shouted loudly.
When Qin Huaidao saw the soldiers stopped, he also shouted: "Stop shooting."
Everyone stopped and stared eagerly at the soldiers in front of them. Although there were only about a thousand of them and nearly 5,000 soldiers, no one was afraid.
At this time, a general came forward and shouted loudly: "Don't move, the crossbow is a weapon controlled by our government, pirates cannot have it, and the other party has one, I'm afraid they are not pirates, so please be patient."
"
When Qin Huaidao saw a sensible person coming, he shouted, "Who are you? Come forward and answer."
The other party felt the aura of a superior erupting from Qin Huaidao. The more he looked at him, the less he looked like a pirate. He became bolder and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "I'm Zhao Yong, the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Chuzhou. Didn't you know who you are?"
"Guardian Protector Qin Huaidao." Qin Huaidao took out a jade identity card and threw it to Luo Ying.
Luo Ying caught it and quickly stepped forward and handed it to the other party for inspection.
The man named Zhao Yong carefully identified it, but he had never seen such a jade identity card at the level of a prince. He was not sure whether it was true or false, but he knew one thing. The other party was not a pirate. He quickly returned the identity jade medal to Luo Ying. No.
I knew whether I should pay homage or question it, and hesitated for a moment.
At this time, Qin Huaidao asked: "Why are the Chuzhou soldiers here?"
"Go back to the... Sir." Zhao Yong decided to believe the truth and quickly explained: "The soldiers from Chuzhou, Haizhou and Yizhou joined forces to encircle and suppress the pirates. I found you waiting to come across the ocean and thought you were a pirate, so I
…”
"Encirclement and suppression of pirates, what's going on?" Qin Huaidao's expression changed. He had killed all the pirates. Where did the pirates come from at this time?
Zhao Yong felt the domineering power of Qin Huaidao. This kind of domineering power cannot be possessed by pirates, not even by generals in the army. He realized that the man in front of him might really be the protector of the country.
Attacking the Protector is tantamount to rebellion.
A cold sweat sprung up on his back. Thinking of the consequences, Zhao Yong couldn't control his heartbeat. He quickly explained: "Sir, ten days ago, a group of pirates with thousands of people attacked here and then disappeared. Chuzhou, Haizhou and Yizhou
The three places were worried that history would repeat itself, so they gathered their forces in one place and set up beacons along the coastline to warn ships if they spotted them, which led to the current incident."
Qin Huaidao had indeed seen smoke coming out of a hillside before, but it wasn't much. He thought it was burning charcoal and didn't pay attention. After hearing the explanation, he suddenly felt enlightened. His eyes fell on the shot general and asked: "Who is he?"
who?"
"What is the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Yizhou? His courtesy name is Zaishan."
"He is from Yizhou and you are from Chuzhou. What about Yao Xunsi, the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Haizhou? Let him come here to see me." Qin Huaidao shouted angrily.
As soon as Zhao Yong heard that he knew Yao Xunsi and asked someone to come over, he became more and more sure that he was the Protector. If he was pretending, how could he have such momentum? He quickly looked behind him and shouted loudly: "Captain Yao, the Protector asked you to come here."
See."
Not long after, a general came over, his eyes a little dodgey, and he saluted bravely: "In my humble position, I have seen the Lord Protector of the Country, and I have met Lord Yuchi." After saying this, he saluted Yuchi Baolin again.
"Knowing that it was me coming, why didn't you stop it and sacrifice the soldiers in vain?" Qin Huaidao locked eyes with the other party coldly, feeling that something was not simple behind this.
"this……"
Yao Xunsi's expression changed and he did not dare to answer.
"explain!"
Qin Huaidao shouted, his iron-blooded killing momentum surged.
"I……"
Yao Xunsi's face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He did not tell anyone what he knew, but just sat and watched the government soldiers attack the Lord Protector. He had ulterior motives, which was tantamount to murder, and he should be executed according to the law.
Thinking of something terrible, Yao Xunsi suddenly gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife across his neck. He looked at Qin Huaidao and smiled miserably, with a flash of guilt and reluctance in his eyes, and immediately pulled hard.
"Pfft!"
The fighting knife cut open the neck, and blood spattered.
The next moment, Yao Xunsi collapsed to the ground, with a touch of relief on his face.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. The dignified captain of Zhechong Mansion actually committed suicide. What is this?
Suicide out of fear of sin?
A gust of cool wind blew away the smell of blood, but it could not drive away the shock in everyone's hearts. The dignified captain of the Zhechong Mansion actually committed suicide. It was very scary to think about it.
Qin Huaidao became more and more sure that there was a conspiracy behind this, and it was not small. Thinking of Yao Xunsi's look just now, which clearly showed involuntary guilt and unwillingness, Zhao Jun Li's mind flashed in his mind, and he vaguely guessed something, and looked at Yuchi Baolin,
He said in a cold voice: "As expected, it seems that Chang'an has become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den."
"Otherwise, don't go back." Yuchi Baolin also guessed something and quickly suggested.
"No, I have to break into the dragon's den and the tiger's den. My family and children are there." Qin Huaidao raised his head and looked in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes solemn and firm.
"Sir, this..." Zhao Yong woke up from the shock and didn't know what to do.
"Just report it truthfully and withdraw the troops." Qin Huaidao waved his hand. It was a misunderstanding after all, and it seemed that the soldiers were being taken advantage of. Zhao Yong jumped out in time to stop it. It was an unintentional mistake and there was no need to kill him.
Zhao Yong knew that he had escaped a disaster and his life was saved. He gave a solemn salute and said: "Thank you Lord Protector for not killing me. I will resign from my post. I will send people to you if I can find them useful in the future."
"Wait a minute." Luo Ying shouted murderously and asked: "Why did the captain of Yizhou Zhechong Prefecture find something wrong at first sight, refused to listen to the explanation, and accused me of being a pirate? What does he have to do with the Li family of Zhao County?
relation?"
"Zhaojun Li family?" Zhao Yong was a little surprised, and then said with a wry smile: "My lord, I have a low position and a low status, and I don't have access to powerful people like the Zhaojun Li family. I heard that this is a local brave, born with supernatural powers, and he has to
The governor of the state valued her and married off the concubine. Three years later, she became the captain of the Zhechong Prefecture. Other humble positions are unknown."
"What is the name of the governor of Yizhou?"
"Liu Zhi, also known as Zhifei."
There was no clue about the name, so Luo Ying looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao's mind was all on Chang'an. He wrote down his name and waited for Chang'an to inquire again. His eyes fell on the corpses on the ground, and his heart was full of guilt. These people died because of him. He immediately said: "Zhao Yong, do me a favor and arrange it."
People dug pits and buried all the corpses. As soldiers of the government, you are supposed to protect one side, but you just let the corpses be left in the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs. You should be killed!"
"He deserves to die. He suggested burying him to avoid the plague, but Captain Yao Xunsi said that the imperial court would send people to inspect the site and not to move, so... just..."
I can't say the words behind it, but I understand the meaning.
Luo Ying exploded on the spot and looked at Qin Huaidao: "Uncle, killing people is just a nod. They have gone too far. This revenge must be avenged."
"Shut up." Qin Huaidao scolded, and he also guessed in his heart that the Li family of Zhao County might have arranged for someone to pretend to be a pirate to attack the valley, but after all, there was no evidence and he couldn't talk nonsense.
Luo Ying's face turned livid with anger, but he did not dare to disobey Qin Huaidao's will. He clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes were beating with anger and mad hatred.
Yuchi Baolin patted Luo Ying's shoulder to express comfort, looked at Zhao Yong and asked: "Have you seen the caravan from the Protector's Palace coming recently?"
"No!" Zhao Yong shook his head.
"Okay, help bury it." Yuchi Baolin waved his hand.
After giving the order, everyone took action, including those who moved the corpses and those who dug holes, in an orderly manner.
Qin Huaidao did not help dig the hole. He looked carefully among the corpses and found that most of the people killed were the guards guarding the valley, as well as a small number of common people. Soon, Qin Huaidao discovered that something was wrong. Although the people who were killed had stab wounds, each of them had a stab wound.
There is also a small hole in the body, which was caused by the crossbow arrow.
This discovery made Qin Huaidao's face turn cold. After careful identification, he quickly came to the conclusion that everyone did not die from knife wounds, but were shot to death by crossbow arrows. Later, they were stabbed to death, and the knife wounds were suspiciously used to cover up the crossbow arrow wounds.
It's hard to spot unless you pay close attention.
"How could a pirate have a repeating crossbow?"
"No wonder the Valley Guard is invincible."
Thoughts came to mind one after another. Qin Huaidao stood up and looked in the direction of Chang'an with cold eyes. His fists clenched and rattled as endless killing intent surged in his heart.
"It's better not to be you, otherwise don't blame me for rebelling against you today."
A voice exploded in my mind, like thunder rolling from the sky.
