Chapter 255: Killer Group Divine Machine Battalion
When an old man heard this, he opened his eyes with difficulty, stretched out his hand like a dead branch, and asked, "How many of you are?"
The follower wanted to answer first, but before he could speak, he heard Lin Hao say: "Old man, we are all businessmen who travel around the world, and we pass by here today."
The old man waved his hand to him with difficulty, and a few trance flashed across his expression, saying, "You guys hurry up and leave here. There will be plague here, and people will die. Many of them are dead, dead..."
Lin Hao's expression flashed a little puzzled, and he said, "Old man, I heard that the government has issued disaster relief banks and sent a large number of doctors. Why are there so many people still dead in this town?"
The old man did not directly answer Lin Hao's words, but just sighed and said, "Hey..."
Lin Hao frowned tightly and said, "Old man, what's wrong? Is there anything hard to say?"
The old man shook his head and said, "After this, what else can I hide from it? I just disdain to say it."
Lin Hao's expression changed slightly, and he asked hurriedly: "Old man, it seems that you haven't eaten for many days. I still have some dry food here, so let's fill you up first!"
As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, the other people immediately stood up. The gray eyes began to emit light instantly, and some people even swallowed their saliva from time to time.
Seeing this, Lin Hao hurriedly ordered his subordinates and said, "Give us all the remaining dry food and distribute it to these people!"
A guard responded, took out a bunch, took out a few big cakes and steamed buns, and distributed them to the people one by one.
Seeing several victims swallowing up a few big cakes and steamed buns, Lin Hao asked softly: "Old man, don't the government ignore you?"
The old man sighed again and said, "The government is not as good as the robbers and hooligans in the mountains. More than a month ago, a plague occurred in our Tianshui Town just now. The government sent more than a dozen doctors to come, but it was not waiting.
All of them were all gone in one day. When the officers and soldiers left, they moved away all the valuable things from the rich families in the town. In desperation, we wanted to go out to seek a way out, but the government sent heavy troops to generals.
The intersections were blocked
Everyone who tried to escape was shot to death by arrows. At first, the government transported some rice, grain and herbs into the town, but later the plague became more and more severe, and thousands of households in the town also went there.
Sixty or seventy percent, the government stopped transporting rice, grain and herbs to the town. Later, they set fire at night, intending to burn the entire town to ashes. We also picked it up by chance.
I'm lucky to report it right away."
"What a bunch of beasts is worse than anything else!" Lin Hao suddenly shouted angrily.
After a moment, Lin Hao seemed to remember something and said, "Old man, how have you survived these days? And the plague is rampant. It seems that you don't look like you are infected with the plague?"
The old man took out a yellow grass from his arms and said, "It all survived by things."
Lin Hao took the grass, looked it carefully for a moment, and asked, "Old man, what kind of grass is this?"
The old man replied: "White wormwood was ordered by an old doctor in the town before his death, so that we should try our best to eat this kind of grass every day."
Lin Hao nodded slightly and said intimately: It seems that this white mugwort has the magical effect of preventing and controlling plague.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao raised the white wormwood again and said, "Old man, if you don't need to adjust this white wormwood, can you give it to me?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "This white wormwood is not a rare thing. It is full of fields on the mountains and fields. It is a very common herb in the north. If you want it, take it!"
Lin Hao handed the white wormwood to the servant behind him and said, "Zhao You, keep this white wormwood for me."
Zhao You took the white wormwood, responded respectfully, and said, "Yes, Master!"
Lin Hao ordered people to leave all the dry food they carried with him to the victims, and then continued on the road.
At about noon, several black-clothed killers lurking in the woods muttered in a low voice.
One person said, "I didn't expect Lin Hao is still a clean official. We just killed him like this. Isn't it a bit..."
Before she could finish her words, another man whispered: "Why, do you want to violate the orders of Lord You?"
"I don't dare!"
"It's good if we don't dare. We listen to Xiang Xiaoxiei and Youlanju. What we do is to take money and eliminate disasters for others. As for whether the target of the attack is corrupt or honest officials, it has nothing to do with us. If we want to blame, we can only blame them.
Offended someone you shouldn't have offended." One man said coldly.
"Waiting for the young master's signal, and taking advantage of Lin Hao and the imperial guards' separation, we will directly deal with him!" The man shouted coldly again.
"The young master has an order. If he sees Lin Hao, he will kill him on the spot!" At this time, a black-clad killer ran away hurriedly and said.
The black-clothed killer in the lead nodded slightly and shouted coldly: "After I order the archers to let go of the third round of arrows, we will rush over from three directions, be sure not to leave a living!"
The black-clad killers all held their swords tightly and were ready to fight!
"Arrowman, get ready!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
"Sir, be careful!" A loyal guard saw a hidden arrow flying over and hurriedly flew to protect Lin Hao.
After the first round of arrow rain, the dozen or so personal guards Lin Hao brought with him had lost one-third.
Fortunately, these guards belong to the Shenji Camp among the three major camps of Kyoto. Their combat effectiveness is far better than that of ordinary officers and soldiers. More importantly, they all carry a secret weapon, musket! So in addition to the first round of arrows flying, the rain of arrows flying,
Come on, without any precautions, and a few people were damaged, the other two rounds of arrow rain did not cause any major damage.
Although Lin Hao was a civil servant of his generation, he served as the Minister of War. He has been familiar with military tactics since he was a child, so he did not look panic. He stood like a pine tree and shouted loudly at the guards: "Rectangular arrangements are divided into three groups to advance!"
Lin Hao immediately suppressed the formation! More than a dozen guards, four in groups, were divided into three groups, the first group held a knife in his left hand and a shield in his right hand to resist the opponent's sneak attack, the second group and the second group
Three groups of muskets were released alternately to block the opponent's attack!
The black-clothed killer had a slight advantage in number, and the sudden attack just now also brought them a lot of time advantages. However, the Shenji Camp had the advantage of firearms. Suddenly, no one on both sides could do anything to each other and fell into it.
Stalemate.
"Sister, what should I do? They have firearms. If we attack for a strong force, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses!" A killer in black asked anxiously.
"No matter how powerful their firearms are, they will be used up. We just need to surround them, which is enough to trap them to death!" Another black-clad killer replied sneered.
The black-clothed killer in the head shook his head slightly and said, "This place is not far from the imperial guards. Once the imperial guards come over, it will be difficult for us to complete the task again!"
"This is not, that is not. Then what should we do? Could we give up such a great opportunity?" a killer in black asked in a little disappointed manner.
Just as the black-clothed killer in the lead was hesitant, a rocket suddenly broke out into the air and approached the rectangular square formation where Lin Hao was!
Bang!
The rocket did not shoot Lin Hao directly, but shot on a huge rock next to it, and a violent explosion sounded with a bang!
Seeing this opportunity, the black-clothed killer jumped out and shouted loudly:
"Arrowman, get ready!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
Another round of arrow rain flew over. Due to the explosive impact of the rocket just now, the formation was completely planned. So more than a dozen guards were like a piece of loose sand. Before they could fully recover, they were already all over.
Being shot into a hedgehog.
When the fourth round of arrow rain flew over, only Zhao You was left beside Lin Hao, and all the other guards had a few long arrows inserted into their bodies, lying here forever.
The black-clad killer surrounded him from all directions, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller!
Zhao You stood tremblingly, his eyes flashing, and he didn't dare to look at the eyes of the killers in black and the weapons in their hands.
Lin Hao looked very calm, and waved his sleeves and shouted angrily: "Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate me?"
A woman with a light gauze was like a fairy descending to earth, with her skirt fluttering in the wind, and a dragonfly squinted the water and landed in front of Lin Hao.
Seeing this, the killers in black immediately bowed their heads and bowed respectfully, shouting respectfully: "Young Master!"
The woman in the veil did not speak, but just waved her hand directly.
Then he looked up and down at Lin Hao and asked coldly: "You are the imperial envoy sent by the court, the Minister of War, Lin Hao?"
Lin Hao looked like he was not changing his surname or name, and he stood up with his hands on his back and shouted loudly: "Yes, it's my official, I am Lin Hao!"
The woman in the gauze smiled coldly and said, "Okay, you are brave, aren't you afraid of death?"
Lin Hao smiled with a righteous expression and said, "What's the joy of life and what's the fear of death? But you, a group of gangsters, only care about personal interests and ignore the lives of thousands of people. Even if you live, what's the point?
Finally, he entered the loess and endured the eternal infamy!”
The gauze woman glared at Lin Hao coldly and shouted: "What a sensible mouth. You can go to the bottom to talk to the King of Hell!"
Zhao You was so scared that he almost cried. He hid behind Lin Hao, and cried with a few traces of tears: "Master, Master..."
Lin Hao glared at Zhao You with disdain and shouted angrily: "Zhao You, you have been with me for more than ten years. Even if you die, you have to stand and die for me today!"
The gauze woman smiled coldly and said, "Okay, I will fulfill you today!"
"Do it!"
"Slow!" Before the veiled woman could finish her call, Lin Hao shouted loudly.
"Why, do you know you're scared now?" the veil woman asked with a cold smile.
Lin Hao frowned and said, "I just want to know who you are and who was ordered to come here to assassinate me?"
The light-veiled woman's expression was cold and she shouted, "Let's get to the bottom of this, go and ask the King of Hell!"
Accompanied by the voice, the long sword emitting dazzling cold light burst out of the air with a whoosh!
Seeing this scene, Lin Hao had no sign of fear on his expression. He naturally closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of the sword!
The sword shadow pierced the cold wind in an instant, piercing Lin Hao's throat and leaving!
Seeing this scene, Zhao You was so shocked that he collapsed on the ground, and almost screamed out.
