Looking at the dazzling white light, Liu Hongji's eyes were almost bigger than a copper bell! He didn't know how much rainwater poured into his open mouth!
If the lightning hadn't lasted only a short moment, Xiao Han would have been worried that he would be drowned by the rain...
"What a god! That was struck by lightning!"
Behind him, the whites of Xiao Han's eyes almost turned to the sky after being shaken by the thunder so much that his ears were ringing!
This poor kid, it’s okay to lift the horse so high during a thunderstorm! A nearly ten-foot-long lightning rod is standing brightly on the top of your head. If lightning doesn’t strike you, who will it strike?
"Is this being struck by lightning? Huh? Did God just prepare to strike him? Didn't he aim, so he almost hit me?"
Faintly, Liu Hongji heard what Xiao Han said, and when he came back to his senses, Liu Hongji spit out the rainwater that had poured into his mouth. When he looked at the knight who had fallen to the ground, his eyes could not help but change.
He didn't know the principle of lightning rods. He only knew how many unreasonable things he had to do to be struck by lightning like this? Maybe, he was almost struck by lightning just now, and he was also implicated by this person.
"Old Wei!"
Amid the rain, a cry of mourning soon came.
Several cavalrymen who came out of the city also rushed to the side of the fallen man. Looking at their comrades who were as black as charcoal, they immediately picked up the reins and stopped the horses, and then stared at Xiao Han and the others with several pairs of eyes.
.
"These are the soldiers of Hanzhong?"
Seeing the hateful eyes of these people and looking at the armor on their bodies, Liu Hongji, who was born in the military, could not understand that they were the city guards who came to pursue him?
However, judging from his many years of career as a general, the Hanzhong City Guards are really too cowardly!
Wasn't one of them knocked down by lightning? Why didn't the rest even have the courage to pick up weapons? Could it be that they wanted to stare at themselves to death?
"Hello? Why don't you save people first?"
Blinking, Liu Hongji tentatively pointed at the man on the ground. Although these soldiers were extremely timid, they were still his own people, and Liu Hongji didn't want to really fight with them.
However, what Liu Hongji didn't expect was that with such a simple gesture of stretching out his hand, several people and horses on the opposite side were so frightened that they all took a few steps back.
"Thieves! How dare you use sorcery!"
Among the several knights, the leader yelled at Liu Hongji with a stern expression!
Of course, it’s not his fault, after all, he saw clearly just now: Old Wei just rushed in front of these people, and before he could take action, he was struck aside by thunder! If this was a coincidence, then beat him to death
, he won’t even believe it!
What a good person Lao Wei is on weekdays?? Apart from being greedy for petty gains and visiting brothels, what other evil things has he done?! This group of people must have used some kind of magic to attract thunder from the sky.
he.
No wonder the officials gave such high rewards, no wonder almost everyone wanted to blockade the Qinling Mountains, no wonder even His Majesty ordered their arrest personally! These are a bunch of monsters!
Think about the excitement when he just left the city. At that time, he even planned how to spend the reward money! But now, the knight only has endless bitterness and regret in his heart! Sure enough, money is not easy to get!
However, regret is regret, the matter has come to this, and he can no longer retreat! So now he can only stare at the "demon" in front of him, hoping for God to rescue him.
However, are there gods in this world?
Obviously, no!
However, some people can make a temporary guest appearance as gods, such as their commander, Feng Chengshou.
When Lao Feng rushed to the crowd, it had already been a while.
Fortunately for Xiao Han and the others, at least they had a few broken umbrellas that leaked everywhere to keep out the rain.
But the knights on the opposite side were in much worse condition. They were wet under the rain! In addition, they were frightened and angry, and they were already shaky on their horses.
"You are, Xiao...Xiaohou!"
Lao Feng, who rushed to the front, recognized Xiao Han at the first sight. He was so shocked that he rolled off his horse on the spot!
"Xiao Hou, you...why are you here!"
Lao Feng, who had rolled off his horse, had no time to care about the mud and water on his body. He screamed and jumped in front of Xiao Han in a few steps, bowing to him excitedly!
"Oh no, you are, Lao Feng! It's really you! Hahaha..."
Rubbing his eyes, Xiao Han recognized the skinny old man covered in mud and water in front of him. He was the original county magistrate Lao Feng. He immediately supported him in surprise, patted his arm and laughed!
"Lord Castle Guard, have you surrendered the demon?!"
An old man and a young man met each other late in the rain. As for the others, especially the cavalry, their eyes almost jumped out of their heads!
Because the rain was so loud, they didn't even hear what the city guard had just shouted. They only saw him rushing forward on his own horse, and then "dancing" for a while, which made the "demon" twitch all over...
"What exactly is going on??"
There was some confusion in their minds! Until the city guard "escorted" the demon into the city, the few knights did not understand what was going on. Fortunately, other city guards who came over reminded them, and they quickly took the lightning-struck man
His companions also picked it up and hurriedly carried it into the city.
————————
"This is a misunderstanding!!!"
Hanzhong, in the city guard mansion.
Xiao Han, who had already changed into dry clothes, sat on his seat with his mouth open, listening to Lao Feng explain what happened to him.
In fact, what happened is very simple, but the process was a bit tortuous.
A few days ago, the imperial court issued an order to close the mountain and pursue it.
As the place where thieves are most likely to pass by, Hanzhong naturally received special attention, so during this period, the place has been a bit noisy and the vegetation is full of soldiers.
Today, when Xiao Han and the others came, they were lucky enough to encounter a big tree struck by lightning, frightening all the city gate guards half to death. By the way, they also frightened a young man named Sun Er so much that they fled back home.
Originally, this was a simple misunderstanding, but in the end, the problem was with Sun Er!
It was only after Sun Eryi ran home that he realized something was wrong: It seemed that in this case, he had escaped from the battlefield and was about to beheaded if caught!
Sun Er, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, walked around the house several times like a donkey. Finally, his mind flashed and he came up with an idea: go to the city guard to report the news! If anyone asked, just say that you can report the news yourself!
So, Sun Er slapped his head and ran non-stop to the city guard's mansion, and found the city guard, Old Feng, to report the news!
And in order to make his words more credible, Sun Er took it upon himself to place the fussy pursuit of the thieves in the past few days on Xiao Han and the others. Therefore, there was a scene where Lao Feng personally led people to catch the thieves.
