After getting off the main road, we walked across an ancient stone bridge.
Just before Xiao Han and others came within a hundred feet of the fortress, they heard the sound of "woo woo" horns and chaotic shouts from inside the fortress.
"Hey, you are treating us as villains!"
Liu Hongji, who was originally lagging behind, heard the noise, drove his horse forward a few steps, and lined up with Xiao Han, looking at the fortress in the distance with a smile.
When Xiao Han heard this, he shrugged indifferently.
Their current team is so strange, let alone the chaos here, even near Chang'an, it will probably cause a commotion.
"Jiayi! Come forward and inform me of your identity!" Xiao Han waved his hand to Jiayi over there to come forward first and communicate with the people in the village to avoid any misunderstanding.
"Here!" Upon seeing this, A accepted the order, but before he could drive his horse forward, Liu Hongji suddenly stopped him: "Wait, I am idle anyway, I'd better go!"
"You?" When Xiao Han heard this, he glanced at Liu Hongji in surprise.
Let this guy go? With his temper, he can't be greeted without finishing three sentences?
However, Liu Hongji didn't care about this. After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Han's opinion, he just clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse forward directly.
"Hey..." Looking at Liu Hongji's back as he rushed out, Xiao Han only had time to open his mouth. Without even telling him to be careful, he saw several cold lights coming from the tall wall of the village.
Shot down in the air!
"careful!"
Seeing those rays of cold light heading towards Liu Hongji, Xiao Han's heart suddenly jumped up! Just when he was about to yell, he reminded Liu Hongji.
However, after crossing a distance of more than a hundred steps, those few cold lights were blown by the cross wind in the air, and they fell directly from the air and stuck diagonally into the ground in front of Liu Hongji.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. It's a hunting bow. It's not very powerful. It's hard to use against leather armor. For example, the steel armor on General Liu's body, even if he stood there and let him shoot, he would never be able to penetrate it."
In his ears, Jia Yi's low voice of explanation came, and Xiao Han's heart that had just been hanging around finally fell into his stomach.
It seemed that he was making a fuss. A veteran like Liu Hongji, who had spent his entire life in battles, would probably be hard-pressed to hurt even a serious bandit den, let alone a small civilian fort.
he.
"Hey! Look clearly! Don't shoot blindly! I'm an officer and a soldier!"
At the front, unlike Xiao Han, Liu Hongji was not at all afraid of these arrows.
Tightening the reins and wandering around twice where the arrow fell, Liu Hongji raised his voice and shouted at the wall of the village: "Where are the people in charge here? Come out and speak!"
Hearing Liu Hongji's roar, there was a commotion on the tall stockade wall. Then, someone was heard hiding behind the wall and shouting: "I don't care who you are! There is no food, no gold or silver in the stockade! If you are sensible, leave quickly."
, Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!”
"fart!"
Sure enough, what Xiao Han thought was right, Liu Hongji was not suitable to be a negotiating partner at all! Seeing that the people in this village repeatedly failed to show their appreciation, Liu Hongji became angry and yelled on the spot: "Go to hell with your mother.
What a hoop! I came here to catch bandits! I didn’t come here to be a bandit! Keep your eyes open and see who those people we arrested are!”
When the people on the wall heard this, they did not show any weakness and continued to shout: "Who knows if you are deliberately playing a trick! Two days ago, the Sun Family Village was tricked into opening the door by people like you and was robbed.
It’s clean!”
"Sun Jia Zhuangzi?"
Behind him, Xiao Han heard the shouts on the wall of the village and immediately frowned, turning back to glance at the refugees and thieves who were tied together.
As if they knew what Xiao Han was going to ask, the few homeless thieves caught by his gaze shuddered and shook their heads together: "I don't know about the Sun Family Village! I haven't been there either!"
"Never been there?" Xiao Han frowned even more tightly. If these people didn't lie, wouldn't it mean that besides this group of people, there were other groups of instigated refugees nearby?
If so, how many people and how many teams would there be in those teams! They were active there again. Why did I walk for two days without encountering any of them?
"Ouch! I'm going!!!"
Just as Xiao Han was thinking hard in his heart, another sudden change occurred in front of Liu Hongji!
Seeing that he could not get rid of the people in the village, Liu Hongji was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. He jumped on his feet and started scolding the people on the wall of the village!
And the people on the wall were not used to the bald bastard below. After a few curses, they actually launched a small trebuchet! Tou Tou threw a bunch of pebbles over!
Did Liu Hongji expect that the people in the village would throw stones? He was caught off guard and was hit by the stones like a goddess scattering flowers.
Xiao Han and others behind him only heard a clanking and pinging sound, and then saw Liu Hongji holding his head, lying on the horse and rushing back like a wind!
"Fuck! These grandsons are so evil!"
After finally escaping from the attack range of the trebuchet, Liu Hongji sneaked up and carried several bags while shouting curses at the fortress from a distance!
If he had known that these people were so ungrateful in martial arts and wouldn't even give him the respect of the General of the Seventeenth Guards, why would he rush forward and take this beating? Wouldn't it be better to let Jia Yi take the beating?
"Master Hou, what should we do now?" Seeing Liu Hongji's embarrassed look, Jiayi couldn't laugh or get angry, so he could only keep a straight face and ask Xiao Han what to do next.
"What should I do? Salad!"
Xiao Han was also helpless. If at the beginning, he wanted to reveal his identity and have a good chat with the people in this fortress about the situation nearby.
So after Liu Hongji's interference, the other party must have realized that they are not good people.
At this point, it is probably useless to say anything! Even if the emperor comes in person, those people will insist that this is a thief pretending to be a thief, and maybe they will be stoned...
Xiao Han didn't want to try the feeling of being hit on the head by a stone, and he didn't have that much energy to explain things clearly to the people on the wall one by one.
After taking one last look at the village, he decisively gave up the decision to spend time here and turned around to leave without any trace of sloppiness.
And seeing that strange team leaving their fort, the people on the wall immediately burst into cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami!
It was as if what they had just defeated was the most vicious villain in the world.
