Red light shot up into the sky, and screams were heard endlessly. The officials and common people who had been stopped by the Divine Guards under the lanterns to check their identities were all frightened to death. They no longer cared about the laws of the court, spread their legs, and ran straight to the sky.
Two exits from the alley.
And the black figure that suddenly appeared, after beheading Xu Du with one blow, immediately brandished a bloody steel knife and rushed towards several officials and people who were hurriedly fleeing for their lives. Like herding sheep, it drove them to block the alley on the southwest side.
The God Guard soldiers at the mouth.
"Stop him, stop him, no matter the cost!" Xu Dutou's boss was so anxious that he shouted the order at the top of his voice.
If it were in the wilderness, if the soldiers of the God Guard listened to his order, they would immediately shoot their bows and arrows, and shoot the man in black into a hedgehog.
However, at this moment, no one of the God Guards soldiers dared to fire arrows to intercept. Instead, they looked at each other while raising their weapons and shouting loudly, "Stop, everyone, stop. If you go forward, we will really cut you down! Hurry up and move forward."
Run to the wall on both sides, don't make a journey for the sake of details! Don't worry about making a journey for details, go to the wall, the wall -"
It’s no wonder they reacted too slowly. One of the conditions for joining the Divine Guards is to be from Gyeonggi Province. Among the people fleeing in chaos at this moment are their hometown elders. Moreover, there are four or five officials, stumbling among the people.
.
If they shoot an arrow to intercept the man in black, they will definitely bring disaster to the elders in his hometown. If an official is shot to death, who should bear the responsibility?
"Form up, form a formation and stop him!" Seeing this, Xu Dutou's superior was so angry that his eyes were on fire and he almost shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Formation, formation!" The soldiers of the God's Guards woke up from a dream, shouting and moving closer to each other, preparing to form a formation to stop the man in black.
However, it was too late.
Jincheng Alley was originally only 150 or 60 steps long, and Xiao Huaien's mansion was not located in the middle of the alley. The man in black came out of his house and rushed towards the entrance of the alley closest to him, which took a total of only 40 steps.
Where does the road take too long?
Before a group of God Guard soldiers could move into formation, the man in black had already overthrown the common people and officials standing in front of him, and rushed forward. The steel knife in his hand slashed left and right, and in the blink of an eye, he was five meters away from him.
All the soldiers blocking the road within a few feet were chopped into rolling gourds.
"ah--"
"Cook Leader Wang, Couch Leader Wang was killed."
"Help, help..."
The screams were loud again. The soldiers of the Divine Guards who had been raised in Bianliang for a long time, had no combat experience at all, and were seriously lacking in training, quickly revealed their true colors. After four or five were chopped down in succession, the rest waited
, decisively act like birds and beasts disperse.
"Don't leave, thief!" Xu Dutou's boss finally caught up with his knife, but he didn't even touch the corner of the man in black's clothes. After the latter cut a bloody path, he immediately turned around at the entrance of the alley and leaned against Bianliang City.
The roots of the inner city wall scurried about, and with the help of the cover of shadows and trees, they escaped from everyone's sight.
"Chasing him, we won't give up until we capture him tonight!" Xu Dutou's superior was furious, raising his weapon and shouting orders, "The city gate has been closed a long time ago, I don't believe that the traitor can still grow wings and fly out!"
"Work carefully, work carefully!" The soldiers of the God's Guards, who had already ran more than fifty steps away, discovered that the man in black was escaping on his own initiative. He quickly regained his courage and shouted loudly, chasing the man in black in the direction where he disappeared. First, he recovered his courage and shouted.
Regardless of whether he can catch up or not, at least his attitude is extremely positive.
"Liu Dutou, you leave a few people behind to collect the bodies of the brothers who were killed. Take everyone from the Xiao family, both men and women, and take them to the camp of the Divine Guards for strict interrogation!" That Xu Dutou said
The superior did not follow the soldiers to chase the man in black, but turned his head and gave instructions to another low-level officer who led the team to block the alley.
"Yes!" Another Dutou surnamed Liu quickly agreed loudly. Then he began to assign tasks to the brothers around him.
Don't look at the way the Divine Guards behaved cowardly when facing the men in black. They went to deal with the servants and mistress of the Xiao family, but they were extremely brave.
In the blink of an eye, all the living people in the Xiao Mansion were pulled out, tied with ropes, and put into the carriage.
Assistant Zhu and another neighbor who had stood up for the Xiao family had just seen with their own eyes men in black rushing out of the Xiao family and cutting down seven or eight Divine Guards soldiers, including Xu Dutou. Where could they be?
Do you have the face to fight for Mrs. Xiao Huaien's injustice? They stood in their respective yards and sighed for a moment, then turned around and returned to the house, covering their heads and falling asleep!
The men in black escaped, and the Xiao family was ransacked. Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the Divine Guard had no reason to continue blocking Jincheng Lane. Soon, the roadblocks were removed, and the officials and people who were stopped were allowed to leave on their own.
"Brother, what should we do? Are we going to chase the man in black too? Or should we return to Kaifeng Mansion?" Seeing that the remaining soldiers of the Divine Guards were also about to pack up and leave, Yang Wenguang gently pulled Han Qing's sleeves and lowered his head.
Ask for instructions.
Previously, he, Han Qing and others hid in a shadow near Xiao's house and watched clearly the process of the Divine Guards' search of Xiao's house and the men in black rushing out to kill everyone. Regardless of the process of the men in black
No one, no matter whether they were soldiers of the Divine Guards, noticed their presence, or even took a glance at their hiding place from beginning to end.
At this moment, the Xiao family has been raided by the Divine Guards, and the target that the four of them need to explore tonight no longer exists. Where to go next becomes a problem.
If you chase the man in black, you will inevitably encounter someone from the Divine Guards. Although both parties have the same goal, it will take a lot of time to explain the reason why the four brothers appeared and dressed as ordinary left-wing soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture.
But returning to Kaifeng Mansion like this made Yang Wenguang feel unwilling. After all, according to the accusations of the Divine Guards, the man in black was Xizuo from the Liao Kingdom. As the left army inspector of Kaifeng Mansion, he could not see Xizuo in action.
He ran away right before his eyes, but chose to turn a blind eye.
"Go after the man in black. Whether the man in black is a spy or not, he must be related to Xiao Huaien. If you catch him, Xiao Huaien's case will come to light!" Yang Xu was also unwilling to run in vain, waving his arms and whispering suggestions
.
However, what he and Yang Wenguang couldn't believe was that after Han Qing thought about it for a moment, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry about the man in black. He is thin and slim. He must not be the same as Xiao Huaien himself. Now follow me to Xiao Huai'en."
Take a look at it, maybe there are any clues?"
"Xiao family, wasn't the Xiao family raided by the Divine Guards and sealed?" Yang Wenguang frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Wait a moment. After all the Divine Guards have withdrawn, we can climb over the wall and get in." Han Qing glanced at him with a smile and added very confidently. "No one would have thought that after the Divine Guards raided the Xiao family,
We can still go there a second time. And the more times like this, the easier it is to get unexpected surprises!"
