Although it was midnight, the bustling main street was still very lively.
Various shops on both sides of the street are brightly lit, and pedestrians are walking shoulder to shoulder.
At this time, screams and cries suddenly came from the distance.
Then, chaos began in the streets.
A dark mass of cavalry came charging down the street.
The cavalry all covered their faces with black scarves so that their true colors could not be seen.
They killed everyone they saw, regardless of whether they were old, weak, women or children, and they showed no mercy.
Soon, a body fell on the ground.
…
As the deputy director of the Office of the Supervision Department, Dou Wentao also received a lot of benefits and was worth a lot of money. He bought a house next to the most prosperous main street in Hongye City.
At this time, Dou Wentao's family was having a meal, and the table was filled with delicious food.
In addition to the head of the family, Dou Wentao, there were also a kind old woman, a dignified-looking middle-aged woman, and several children, both old and young, at the same table.
They are Dou Wentao's mother, wife, and children, and they are also the people Dou Wentao cares about most in the world.
Although the food on the table was full of delicious aroma, none of them moved their chopsticks because Dou Wentao was giving his children a routine pre-meal admonishment once every three days.
Dou Wentao has two sons and two daughters.
The eldest son has been assigned to serve in the Supervision Department by Dou Wentao. He is under Dou Wentao's nose every day, and lives a step-by-step life day after day, without any chance of making mistakes.
The two daughters did not leave the house or step outside every day, and there was nothing to admonish, so almost every admonishment was directed at his second son Dou Yong.
That guy didn't study well, so he only had to do errands to practice martial arts. As long as Dou Wentao was not at home all day long, he would sneak out and hang out with some gangsters on the street, which was very disappointing.
Although Dou Yong was sitting upright and looked docile, Dou Wentao was still furious when he saw him.
He looked at Dou Yong sternly and said in a deep voice: "What does it look like to idle around all day?
I asked you to report to the city defense camp, why don't you go?"
Dou Yong muttered: "The city defense camp is very dangerous. Our family's life is not difficult, so why should I take risks in the city defense camp?"
Hearing this, Dou Wentao's wife also echoed: "Yes, although there has been no war in Hongye City for a long time, God knows when a war will break out, and then the city defense camp will be the most dangerous place."
Dou Yong said with an aggrieved look: "Yes."
"A loving mother often loses her sons."
Dou Wentao snorted coldly: "Are we going to let him just idle around like this?"
At this time, Dou's mother spoke: "The city defense camp is indeed too dangerous. Wen Tao, you should find another job for the second son. I think your Supervision Department is good. It is not that dangerous and you are respected wherever you go."
Dou Wentao smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, it's so easy to get into the Supervision Department. If I could get in, I would have arranged for my second son to go in. Now many of my colleagues' sons and nephews are waiting to get in. I have already arranged for the eldest son to go in. If I can get in again,
Get the second son in, too, and don't let anyone poke you in the back."
Dou Yong smiled: "Yes, grandma, let's not embarrass my father."
Dou Wentao glanced at Dou Yong in surprise, when did this kid become so considerate?
How could he have guessed what Dou Yong had in mind? If he really went to the Supervision Department and was under his nose every day, he would be miserable to death?
As he was talking, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside.
Everyone in the Dou family was stunned and looked at each other.
Dou Hao, Dou's eldest son, stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Dou Wentao frowned and said, "Okay, just look at the gate and don't go too far."
"Um."
Dou Hao responded and walked out.
As soon as he opened the door, the courtyard door outside was knocked open from the outside with a "bang".
While sawdust was flying, a tall horse rushed in.
The knight on horseback, his robes were stained red with blood, and the long knife in his hand was still dripping with blood.
A servant at the entrance of the courtyard was directly hit by a war horse.
Another servant was also beheaded by the knight who rushed in.
Seeing this scene, several women in the room were so frightened that they screamed loudly.
Dou Wentao's wife quickly hugged her two daughters into her arms.
Immediately afterwards, several more knights filed in.
Dou Yong suddenly stood up, rushed to the door, grabbed the long knife hanging on the wall, and called back: "Father, take grandma and the others from behind, while my eldest brother and I stop the murderers."
Dou Wentao stepped forward and said: "You two take your grandmother and the others away, and I will stop the murderer..."
However, before he finished speaking, Dou Yong rushed out of the room with a knife and shouted sharply at the murderers who were rushing around in the yard: "Where did this madman come from?
Do you dare to rush into the residence of Dou Wentao, deputy director of the Office of Supervision?"
He originally thought he could frighten the thugs, but unexpectedly, the thugs didn't care what he was saying, and rushed towards him with their weapons brandished.
Dou Yong was usually very brave and used to fighting fiercely. When he saw this, instead of being afraid, he went forward with a knife.
Hearing the screams outside, it was obvious that the murderers were not the only ones who rushed into the house. Dou Wentao hurriedly shouted: "Yong'er, come back!"
brush!
The sharp sword gleamed towards Dou Yong.
Dou Yong ducked and swung his sword towards the horse's leg.
With the neighing of the war horse, one of the horse's legs was cut off by Dou Yong.
The war horse whined and fell to the ground, and the knight on the horse was thrown out.
At this time, another knight's spear also swept towards Dou Yong.
Dou Yong's eyes narrowed and he raised the long knife in his hand to resist.
when!
The spear struck Dou Yong's long knife on his chest.
Dou Yong felt a huge force coming towards him, his arms went numb, and he almost lost his grip on the long knife.
He was also shaken by the huge force and fell backwards, falling right at the feet of the murderer who had just fallen off the horse.
The murderer had just thrown himself to the ground, causing the scarf covering his face to fall off. At this moment, he was hurriedly preparing to put the scarf back on.
When Dou Yong saw the face of the murderer in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise and he exclaimed: "Chen Yang?
why you?
Who are they?"
This man named Chen Yang is also one of his bad friends. His whole family is from the city lord's palace guard camp, and he often does shitty things with Dou Yong.
Without saying a word, Chen Yang hurriedly put on his mask, swung the long knife in his hand and struck Dou Yong on the ground.
Dou Yong waved his sword to resist and shouted loudly: "Chen Yang, what on earth do you want to do with your horse?
Why did you come to my house to kill someone?"
Dou Wentao also rushed up with a knife at this time and was fighting with another knight.
He also knew Chen Yang, and together with Chen Yang's father, he wiped their son's butt more than once.
Dou Wentao vaguely realized something and shouted loudly: "Are you all members of the city lord's palace guard camp?"
