Just when Mei Changyuan was at a loss, a figure stumbled out.
"Mayor, mayor, where are you? Where are you! Mayor."
Mei Changyuan immediately came to his senses and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I'm here, I'm here, someone, come quickly, come here."
He Ruiliang heard Mei Changyuan's roar and hurried over with three people. At a glance, he saw Mei Changyuan, who was covered in filth and looked embarrassed.
"Mayor, are you okay?"
He Ruiliang helped Mei Changyuan up. Mei Changyuan's legs trembled and he almost fell down. He pulled He Ruiliang and asked: "Where is Xu Wangtang? How is Xu Wangtang?"
He Ruiliang said hurriedly: "The bandits entered the city and caused trouble to all the big households in the city. Xu Wangtang's family suffered the worst. I heard that more than a dozen people died, and even Xu Wangtang was injured."
"What, is Han Baihang okay?" Mei Changyuan felt a little strange. Han Baihang was not drunk and living in the Xu Mansion. Why did he feel that such a big thing had nothing to do with Han Baihang.
Also, Han Baihang's troops were supposed to be fighting militiamen, so why did they turn into bandits?
Mei Changyuan couldn't figure it out, but the top priority was to find Han Baihang. As long as Han Baihang was found, there would still be a glimmer of hope.
"Go and call them over to me!"
He Ruiliang asked hesitantly: "At this time, let..." He suddenly lowered his voice, glanced around, and whispered in Mei Changyuan's ear: "I'm afraid it wouldn't be good if the red gun would get involved at this time.
Bar."
Mei Changyuan certainly knew the risks involved, but now that Han Baihang's troops had been dispersed, there was no need to guess that Xu Wangtang must have been doing it secretly, and maybe those bandits were colluded with Xu Wangtang.
If Xu Wangtang is allowed to continue like this, after Han Baihang is killed, it will be his turn next. Compared to an old fox who has been rooted in Yongcheng for many years, Mei Changyuan hopes to face an outsider like him, who at least has a chance of winning.
Much bigger.
"There is no time. You should contact me immediately. I have to make all preparations. If necessary, I will not have to fight with Xu Wangtang. Go quickly. I will go to Xu's house to check the situation first."
Seeing Mei Changyuan's insistence, He Ruiliang didn't dare to say anything more. He could only nodded, put Mei Changyuan into the car, and walked out of the city alone.
After the bandits robbed and killed them, they left Yongcheng in a mess. However, the people seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life where they were robbed every once in a while. Although they looked like they were mourning for their heirs, they still started to clean up the mess in an orderly manner.
Outside the city, Han Baihang took his remaining defeated soldiers and hid in a mountain col.
Han Baihang looked at the disastrous defeat in front of him and punched the stone with anger on his face, "Xu Wangtang is so clever! He deliberately used the militia to distract me, and then brought in real bandits to catch me off guard. I was careless.
!CTMD!”
Zhao San's face was black and gray, but his expression was extremely calm. He sat next to Han Baihang and said calmly: "Now is not the time to complain. Xu Wangtang has taken action. In my opinion, this is just the first step. I first arrived in Yongcheng, not
Knowing the situation too well, Xu Wangtang took advantage of the situation. It seems that we all underestimated Xu Wangtang, so we should think carefully about how to deal with his next methods."
In fact, a large part of the reason why Han Baihang fell into Xu Wangtang's hands this time was because the two of them didn't think highly of Xu Wangtang. Thinking back on the enemies they met along the way, they were either big bosses or military elites.
Both of them were very alert, fearing that if they made a mistake, they would be doomed. Xu Wangtang was just a rich and evil gentry in a remote mountainous area. Naturally, the two of them would not pay too much attention to it. After all, it is difficult for people who have seen the sea to have any respect for a small river.
heart of.
"Do you have any ideas?" Han Baihang calmed down and began to discuss with Zhao San.
Zhao San pushed up his glasses and said: "The situation is still unclear now. We will probably have to wait until tomorrow morning to know Xu Wangtang's plan. But first we need to find a place to settle the wounded soldiers and recharge their batteries.
Only then can you show off your skills."
Han Baihang nodded, called Zhou Qing, and asked, "How are the losses?"
Zhou Qing reported a series of figures. Fortunately, there were not many casualties. However, they were outside the city and did not dare to enter the city because they could not get the necessary medicines.
"If that's the case, I have to go back." Han Baihang said with a frown. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the bandits' retreat and take the troops back, but Zhao San disagreed.
We still don’t know what Xu Wangtang’s plans are. If he leads his troops into the city, he will become a turtle in a jar. By then, he may not be able to escape even if he wants to.
After several people discussed it, they decided that Han Baihang and Li Si would sneak into the city secretly, get the medicine and come back quickly.
Han Baihang and Li Si set off on the road. Before leaving, Zhao San suddenly stopped Han Baihang, pulled him aside and told him: "After you enter the city, you must not see Ding Qingyao again!" Han Baihang didn't understand what he meant.
When he wanted to ask, Li Si was already ready and urging him. Han Baihang had no choice but to suppress the situation for the month and followed Li Si into the city.
Halfway through, Li Si asked in a low voice: "Where are we going to find medicine?"
There were a lot of injured people in the army, and they needed a lot of medicine. There were only two of them, so they couldn't get that much. When they went to the city this time, it looked like they were going to the city to get medicine, but in fact they were going to the city to find someone for help.
Han Baihang twisted his eyebrows and said, "Let's take a look at the city first. I don't know what the situation is like in the city now."
The two took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the city. They saw fireworks everywhere, broken wooden doors and windows, and wailing people everywhere. It was like a doomsday scene.
Han Baihang and the two quickly walked through the main street, turned into an alley, and inadvertently came to the dilapidated house where Han Baihang had been stationed not long ago.
It seemed that this dilapidated house did not arouse the interest of the bandits and remained intact. Through the broken windows, the wounded on the ground could still be seen.
Han Baihang was about to walk in. Li Si grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Han Baihang said: "I'm just going in to take a look, I won't be delayed for long."
"Zhao San asked me to watch you and never let you get close to Ding Qingyao."
Hearing this, Han Baihang felt a little uncomfortable. Zhao San insisted on asking Li Si to follow him because he wanted him to monitor him.
Han Baihang patted Li Si's hand away and said, "I know my own business, so I don't need you to worry about it. I just took a look and saw what big things could happen."
Seeing Han Baihang's stubbornness, Li Si couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "You haven't suffered enough from women!"
Han Baihang's face suddenly turned red, and he was about to reprimand Li Si when suddenly a group of people came over from the corner of the street. Han Baihang immediately saw Xu Wangtang, who was crying in the crowd.
