The war hadn't even started yet, and the county guard fled first.
This matter was within Qi Shan's expectation, so he was not surprised at all. If the county guard suddenly decided to defend the city to the death and live and die with the people of Xiaocheng, then the sun would rise in the west——
Either the Sheriff's head was broken or his body was taken from him.
Shen Tang: "Who is in charge of Xiaocheng now?"
The people don't know either.
The news he knew was also heard from other people on the road. As for who the other people knew it from...
It has nothing to do with him!
The most important thing now is to escape.
The man took a breath, picked up the old mother again, tied the hemp rope, carried a wooden stick and some dry food and belongings, and said goodbye to Shen Tang and the other four. He watched the mother and son merge into the refugee crowd. , Shen Tang suddenly clenched his fists.
I thought I could reach the destination in three hours with the remaining journey, but it turned out to be the opposite. The official road was blocked and the trails were filled with people fleeing for their lives.
The four of them had no choice but to take a detour. Along the way, they saw fireworks going off in a village and a group of young men dressed as soldiers arresting people.
Shen Tang and others have the potential to be cannon fodder at first glance.
The leading soldier's eyes fell on them, and he pointed his spear at the four of them and shouted: "You four, stop!"
Shen Tang paused.
He asked coldly: "You called me?"
Several soldiers gathered around, and the leader, General Shen Tang, looked up and down and was very satisfied with their age and physique.
"You are the common people of this village? Do you also want to avoid recruiting soldiers?"
Shen Tang had a cold face. Even though he wanted to punch the person and knock him to the ground, he still responded: "No, he's just a passerby."
It is better to do less than to do more. The clothes of these soldiers are obviously not from the Sibao County garrison, but most of them are from the rebels.
Shen Tang doesn't want to cause trouble yet, but it's a pity - she wants to let others go, but she can't stand them and seek death.
The leading soldier did not listen to the explanation at all.
"Whether it is true or not, we will find out after we take them back and ask them. Once we find out that you are lying...haha! Take them all away!"
The man waved his hand.
They come out to "recruit troops" with specific targets.
If the target is not met, you will be punished when you go back. You have to capture enough people for your future. If you encounter resistance and obstacles, you will be killed directly.
Just as Shen Tang was about to have a seizure, two soldiers grabbed a man from a broken house at the end of the village and said excitedly: "Boss, come and take a look!"
What followed was the scream of a woman struggling and resisting.
Shen Tang followed the sound and saw a pretty peasant woman wearing simple women's clothes being dragged out of the house. She kept begging for mercy. Even though her face was smeared with black pot ash, she could tell that it was a sign of appearance. . Another man chased out.
"...Bing Ye, Bing Ye, then my wife, please let her go...I will go with you, just to let her go!"
The young couple hid in the firewood pile behind the dilapidated house and had been hiding well. However, they could not resist the soldiers who broke into the village and searched vigorously. Every place where they could hide people was not missed.
The couple were soon found.
The man thought that he could just agree to leave, but he still underestimated the madness of these rebels. Their "recruitment" quota was not small, and it was difficult to complete it under normal circumstances. In order to avoid punishment, these soldiers would also look for women with good looks or figures.
.
What to use it for?
Of course it is used to bribe the boss.
Of course, good-looking men will do, too.
If you can satisfy your boss, not only can you get rid of the problem of indicators, but you can also win appreciation, be promoted and be reused.
From this perspective, this charming peasant woman is much more important than that man and is related to her future.
The man stepped forward to pull against the man, and the peasant woman scratched him while struggling. Finally, the soldier was annoyed and kicked the man in the heart.
Don’t know how to praise!
If this kick was a real kick, given the man's body, he would eventually fall to the ground, or even fall unconscious in severe cases.
Who knows——
That's when the accident happened.
A ray of sword light struck, and a scream that was more brutal than the slaughter of a pig was heard, and the calf of the kicking soldier flew out.
Yes, it flew directly out!
A large spurt of blood covered the man's face.
The woman was also frightened by this scene and almost forgot to struggle for a moment. But only for a moment, when the soldier fell to the ground without his legs, she opened her mouth and bit the other man's wrist, and while the other man was in pain, she let go and pounced.
To my own man.
In just such a short time, the situation turned upside down.
Shen Tang took action as if it was a signal.
Gong Shuwu broke the necks of the two closest people with his bare hands. Qi Shan sneered and drew out his sword. Shen Tang liked to wipe people's necks, and he liked to greet people's hearts. The remaining Chu Yao didn't wear a sword. After all, his swordsmanship had been neglected for many years.
, wearing a sword is just for decoration, but after all he is a literary scholar. His strength is greater than that of ordinary people, and he can hit someone with one fist until his head buzzes and the world spins.
The soldiers of these "forced conscripts" were all ordinary people, not even low-ranking public servants. Shen Tang and the four of them could kill all the remaining people.
The couple were not the only ones rescued.
Dozens of people shivered as they looked at the corpses on the ground.
Shen Tang shook off the blood on the blade of the sword and said softly: "You guys pack up and run away together, it's no longer safe here."
This group of soldiers did not go back to recover. Sooner or later the rebels would track them down to the village. If they stayed, they would be waiting for death. It was better to escape as soon as possible.
"Thank you so much, good man! Thank you so much, so good man!"
Shen Tang's expression became much gentler: "There is no need to thank you. It goes against the principles of our generation to refuse to save someone in the face of death or to ignore difficulties."
Although she pretends to be tough and scary, her eyes are calm and she looks more like a good person with a fierce appearance.
And good people can often be bullied.
No matter how reluctant most of the villagers were, they could only go back to pack up their belongings and escape for their lives as soon as possible, but a few of them couldn't figure it out and actually cursed at the top of their lungs or pointed at Shen Tang.
"You are the ones who deserve to be killed. Why are the gangsters trying to be such heroes? Didn't you kill everyone? Why did you let us escape? If the four of you didn't intervene, these bastards would have captured the people and left!"
The faces of Qi Shan and others suddenly changed.
It's not that they haven't seen this battle before. In fact, they all know that people's hearts are fickle, especially in these remote places where unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh waters. Don't expect unruly people to "repay their kindness".
The reason why they change their expressions is because of Shen Tang.
In the view of Qishan and Qi Shan, Shen Xiaolangjun/Wulang are still young and facing this scene without any warning is not good for their physical and mental health.
But, I never expected——
With the next breath, Shen Tang's sword point was pressed firmly against the man's neck, leaving a bloody mark. The villager felt the pain and then became frightened. His face turned pale and he looked at Shen Tang who suddenly became angry in disbelief.
"Ha, do you know what it means to be afraid?" Shen Tang looked cold and sneered, just like her drunken demeanor, and warned, "Don't move! If you move, I won't be able to hold the sword steadily, and your head and body will be affected. The family is about to be separated. Since you call me a 'violent bandit', believe it or not, I will show you how fierce I am now. Anyway, I have killed so many people, so what if I kill a few more blind people?"
For a moment, the atmosphere around him hit rock bottom.
Shen Tang was surrounded by a cold murderous intention that even Gong Shuwu was secretly frightened by, let alone these ordinary villagers?
He immediately changed his mind and begged for mercy, not daring to make any mistakes.
