Approaching the palace, the number of corpses on the roadside gradually decreased. The resistance of the defenders in this area was not very fierce, and the victors did not retaliate too harshly. However, sporadic killings and robberies continued in the alleys on both sides of the street.
Some of them were done by cronies of princes wearing fur hats. They regarded this as a matter of course and derived great happiness from it.
Without waiting for Wang Xun's order, Thirteen led a group of guards to rush over, kicking and punching the villains, and driving the villains away. Pulling the victim back from the brink of death. The cronies of the princes resisted at first, but when they saw clearly, the Hammer King
Standing not far away, he immediately dropped the large and small packages he had collected and scurried away.
It is only natural that the strong have the right to control all the "trophies". Lord Hammer King, who led the Tang army to launch this snowy night surprise attack, is undoubtedly the most powerful person here. Therefore, there is sufficient reason to "accept" their
Filial piety.
Wang Xun resisted the urge to draw out his horizontal knife and chop all these evildoers into meat paste. It depends on the owner to beat the dog. The battle between Datang and Dashi for control of the Yaochashui coast cannot be divided in one or two battles.
It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. In the future, if the Anxi Army is to gain a foothold here, it will need the support of the local princes. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, he cannot fall out with his allies unless it is absolutely necessary.
But he couldn't close his eyes, plug his ears, and turn a blind eye to the atrocities. He had to walk as fast as possible to avoid being delayed for too long on the road and unable to control his emotions. Fortunately, there were several consecutive waves of burning and killing.
Among the robbers, there was no trace of Tang Jun. This made him feel more comfortable. After all, the killings were not done by the brothers themselves, and they were more or less worthy of the title of teachers of benevolence and righteousness.
However, this kind of luck did not last long. Just at an intersection in front of the palace, a shrill cry for help suddenly came from the street. Two teenagers dressed in luxurious clothes looked like they were only twelve or three years old.
He screamed and ran out of a large mansion, panicking and running towards the palace.
A strong man eight feet tall chased after them with a knife. While chasing, he yelled curses. "You little bastard, you little bastard. Stop right here. Hand over the key to your cellar quickly. Grandpa will let you go if you hand it over."
You have a way out! Otherwise..."
Tang's clear words extinguished the last spark of luck in Wang Xun's heart. He took his mount and was furious. Wan Qi Yu Xie was the first to rush forward, trying to remind the strong man to pay attention to his words and deeds. But he just blocked the two
The two teenagers were stunned when they saw a group of people dressed like the villains behind them appearing in front of them. Their footsteps stagnated. At this moment, the strong man dressed as the captain of the Tang Army had already rushed forward.
When he arrives, he raises the knife and drops it...
"Pfft..." A red light flew out, igniting the eyes of everyone present. The strong man who was so angry with killing did not restrain himself. He pulled out the knife from the corpse and strode towards another young man who was paralyzed on the ground with fear.
, "I told you to run away, I told you to run away, little bastard..."
Suddenly there was a gust of golden wind in his ears, and the strong man instinctively moved to block. The huge force from his wrist made him step back and stagger. Then, there was another sound of gold and iron in his ears,
His horizontal knife flew into the air and split into two pieces. The other three feet of shining blade were held against his scalp by a scabbard, sending a cold feeling straight into his spinal cord.
"Ah——" the strong man screamed and closed his eyes and sat down on the ground. "Sir——" a voice shouted above him, and at the same time a big foot kicked over and kicked him half a foot away, "Looking for death"
, you dare to show off in front of the General, don’t you know how to write the word “death”?
"General..." The strong man shivered on the ground, and opened his eyes tremblingly. He just happened to see Wang Xun's face full of anger. "I didn't see it, I didn't see it." Knowing that something was wrong, he
Immediately stood up and knelt down, quickly making excuses for his behavior, "The young thieves were ordered to go door to door to search for suspicious people. Unexpectedly, these two young thieves hid behind the courtyard wall and looked out. They asked them to stop but they refused.
Listen, so..."
This lie was so poorly crafted that even Qi Heng, who was willing to protect him, couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and added another kick, kicking the man further, "Anyone with the surname Zhang, go to Mingfa to join the army."
If you receive a hundred military sticks, I will remember your face. If you dare to receive one less stick, I will chop you down with my own hands."
"Alas, alas!" The strong man surnamed Zhang agreed repeatedly, turned around and left. However, Wang Xun pushed aside Wan Qiyu Xie and others who were blocking the way and chased after them without saying a word, with the horizontal knife in his hand as cold as frost.
"Sir------" The strong man heard the footsteps from behind and turned around suddenly. Then he was completely stunned. He neither dared to escape nor resist. He watched Wang Xun getting closer and closer to him.
close.
Wanqi Yuxie and Wang Shisan rushed over again, blocking Wang Xun on the left and right. "Sir, he is our own brother!"
The words "brother" made Wang Xun's steps slow down. But soon, he started to move again. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wanqi Yuxie and Wang Shisan quickly dropped their weapons and hugged Wang Xun's waist tightly.
, "Sir, they have suffered a lot at the hands of the locals in the past three years!"
"Sir, kill him. General Yuwen will lose face!"
The last sentence finally made Wang Xun give up his murderous intention. He glared at the strong man standing opposite him and gritted his teeth.
"Get out of here!" Qi Heng also rushed up and once again reminded the perpetrator to leave quickly.
"Alas, alas!" The perpetrator knew that he had just rolled out of the gate of hell. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in response. He turned around, but couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Isn't he just a barbarian? It's not worth it.
I must be so angry. I think back then..."
"Stop!" The volcano suppressed in Wang Xun's stomach erupted again, and he shouted angrily. "What did you say, do you have the guts to say it to me again?!"
The strong man stopped and didn't dare to talk back. He lowered his head and looked at the ground, stretching his fingers around his waist.
He knew he was guilty when he rammed into the General's car, so he didn't dare to complain even if he was beaten with a military stick. But what big deal is killing a few barbarians?! Which of the brothers from the Anxi Army who fell into the hands of the barbarians back then was not?
Tortured to death? Now that the situation has changed, the brothers have entered the city. Naturally, they have to repay the blood debt with interest!
"They are barbarians, who are you?" Wang Xun suppressed the urge to kill, pointing at the other person's nose and scolding him. "In broad daylight, chasing down defenseless children, how are you better than barbarians? Even if his parents have
Wrong, how many times has he offended you? When did such a heroic figure appear under my command, Wang Xun? Do you have a family or children? "
"Subordinate, subordinate..." The strong man did not dare to raise his head after being scolded, but kept raising his hands. The corner of his mouth was still tilted to one side, obviously he was not completely convinced.
Several soldiers from the Tang Dynasty appeared in several nearby courtyards. They were all carrying large and small packages on their shoulders, and they were in high spirits. When they heard the scolding, they quickly looked here. Then they turned around and hid in the shadows.
Run away quietly.
Wang Xun saw all this in his eyes. Suddenly, he felt so powerless in his heart. "Get out of the camp, don't let me see you again!" He added bitterly, turned around and left.
He didn't notice the surprised expression on the strong man's face.
"Sir!" It wasn't until he walked far away that the strong man came back to his senses and fell to his knees with a plop. "Sir, I know I was wrong. Please don't drive me away. Please don't drive me away!
"
Wang Xun was extremely disappointed with this man. He didn't bother to look back and talk to him again. The strong man begged, but he never got a response. Gritting his teeth, he stood up, chased for a few steps, and picked up the discounted product from the roadside.
Hengdao said, "Sir, you saved this life of this subordinate. I shouldn't have embarrassed you. Just watch it, I'll apologize for it myself!"
After saying this, he swung the knife and wiped his own neck. Wang Shisan was originally dragging behind the team to prevent the strong man from getting angry and making an attack. Seeing this, he rushed forward and swung his knife to block the strong man's broken hand.
With a "clang" sound, the broken blade was knocked away again. But it was still a little slower. A big gash was cut on the strong man's neck, and blood gurgled out.
"You..." Wang Xun didn't expect that the strong man would commit suicide to apologize. He couldn't help being shocked and angry. He stared at the other man's desperate eyes for a long time, then sighed, "Why do you do this? There is no place for you in our army.
, you can just go back to the Central Plains to reunite with your family and live your own life with your wife and children!"
"This subordinate thought that he would never have the chance to return to the Central Plains in this life." The strong man ignored the wound on his neck and knelt on the ground, crying and begging, "It was your Excellency who rescued this subordinate from the animal pen."
.It was the master who made the subordinate stand up again. If the master is not willing to have the subordinate, the subordinate will have no shame in going home. It is better to die here!"
"What kind of bullshit is this!" Wang Xun asked with an angry smile and a grin on his face.
The strong man no longer responded, but just kowtowed to beg for permission. Wang Xun couldn't bear to see the other man continue to bleed, so he had to sigh and whispered: "You go out of the city to find a doctor to bandage your wound. Heal your wound and then decide whether you should stay or not."
In the military, I don't like people killing innocent people indiscriminately. Think about it yourself, what are you doing?"
"Yes, I understand!" The strong man kowtowed happily, got up, held his neck, and ran away. Wang Xun shook his head at his back, "It would be strange if you understood! Forget it, let's go.
It’s just that I can’t think of it myself!”
The second half of the sentence was meant for Wan Qi Yu Xie and others. Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Shisan trotted to bring Wang Xun's mount and helped him get on the horse again. Huang Wanshan followed closely beside Wang Xun.
, persuaded in a low voice: "Actually, we can't blame the brothers completely. After all, they have been bullied too hard by the locals in the past three years! Besides, since ancient times, one general has achieved great success..."
Wang Xun did not answer his words, but shook his head with a wry smile. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Brother Huang, tell me, what are we doing here?!"
