Chapter 1342: The Change of Quliang Hou's Mansion (2)
"PS: Second update yesterday."
The following text
When the group of county soldiers entered the Quliang Hou Mansion, Gao Ruo, the head of the palace guard, led a few people to count the number of large wooden boxes in the warehouse.
As he was counting, Gao Ruo suddenly heard a commotion coming from the house.
At first he didn't pay much attention, he just cursed secretly "I don't know the rules", but when several injured servants rolled up to him, he felt something was wrong and asked in surprise.
: "What... is going on with you guys?"
I saw the servants saying in horror: "Uncle Gao, what's wrong, a group of strong men broke into the house. They didn't care about the crime and killed everyone on sight. Many people were killed..."
"What?!"
Gao Ruo, who was nearly sixty years old, frowned and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
Where did the brave man come from who dared to break into their Qulianghou Mansion to commit murder?!
Immediately, he did not bother to count the number of large wooden boxes, called his second son "Gao Ben" who was standing by, and led a dozen guards to rush towards the atrium of the mansion.
When a group of people arrived there, they saw a group of murderers armed with sharp swords, regardless of gender, massacring people in the mansion.
"Father, these people..."
Gao Ben's expression changed drastically when he saw the murderers committing murder.
Because, with the help of the light from the nearby stone lamp, he could clearly see that the murderers who were committing murder and massacring the servants of Qulianghou Mansion were actually wearing the clothes of county soldiers.
At this time, Gao Ruo's face was so deep that it seemed as if he could drip with ink. He, who was born in the military, naturally saw more things than his son.
For example, the murderers within his sight had their mouths tightly shut and their expressions were calm. They didn't look like the old men of the county soldiers, let alone the so-called thieves and bandits. They were soldiers!
Just when Gao Ruo was shocked, seven or eight county soldiers discovered them and immediately rushed forward.
While fighting with the opponent, Gao Ruo found that these people were skilled with swords and cooperated tacitly, which further convinced him of the opponent's identity.
"clang!"
Gao Ruo, who is nearly sixty years old, is worthy of being the former Quhou of the Nanyan Army. Even though he is now old, he still forced back a county soldier who was fighting with him by waving the sharp sword in his hand.
Taking advantage of this moment, he shouted sternly: "You are not county soldiers at all! ...Who are you? Who ordered you to attack my Qulianghou Mansion?!"
However, the county soldiers on the opposite side didn't say a word. After being forced back, they immediately stepped forward with their swords again, without giving Gao Ruo any time to breathe.
"Clang clang clang!"
Fighting three swords in a row, Gao Ruo was worthy of being regarded as Quhou's powerful pawn. He used a flaw and stabbed the opponent's waist with one sword.
Unexpectedly, with a "ding" sound, the sharp sword in his hand was actually bounced away.
"What?!"
Gao Ruo's expression suddenly changed, he took a few steps back, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the waist of the county soldier who was facing him.
Only then did he realize that the other party seemed to be wearing a suit of armor under the county soldier's uniform that he had scratched.
Glancing at the chipped sword in his hand, Gao Ruo had a look of horror on his face.
With sharp swords, strong armor, skilled skills, and a serious attitude towards the enemy, these thugs are damn elite soldiers!
Thinking of this, Gao Ruo shouted urgently: "Ben'er, be careful and accept the challenge. Go and report to the Marquis for your father!"
"Understood!" Gao Benweng responded, and struck a county soldier's arm with his backhand sword. There was a "ding" sound, and the sword in his hand seemed to have struck something solid.
After instructing his son, Gao Ruo turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard, arriving at the north room soon.
The eldest son Gao Lin, who was guarding outside the north house, saw his father in such a mess and asked in surprise: "Father, what happened in the house?"
Gao Ruo did not explain, pushed the door and broke into the house. He saw Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, standing in the house with an uncertain expression, and said urgently: "Master Hou, a group of thugs have entered the house. They are all equipped with sophisticated weapons and armor. Question them."
No one answered..." As he said that, he told Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, exactly what he had just seen with his own eyes.
After listening to Gao Ruo's story, Quliang Hou Sima Song's first reaction was that Xiao's gang members had sent people to kill him.
But then he thought again, and he felt that something was wrong.
You know, the amount of money he raised for Xiao Luan this time was quite large. Logically speaking, even if Xiao Luan guessed that he had other intentions, he should not send anyone before receiving this batch of money.
Kill him.
Since it's not Xiao Luan, then who is it?
Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, could not guess the clue at all. When he turned around, he saw his beloved wife Zhou turning pale with fright. He held her in his arms and gently patted her back to comfort her while asking Gao Ruo: "This
How many people are there in the gang?"
"I don't know how many there are." Gao Ruo shook his head, and then he said in a tight voice: "Master Marquis, this group of people is menacing and kills everyone on sight. They are definitely not good people. Please get out of the back door with your wife as soon as possible."
Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, nodded and immediately called Gao Ruo. Gao Lin brought Sima Bo and Sima Jie's two sons, and under the protection of a group of palace guards, they hurried to the back door of the mansion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the back door, I heard several screams.
Sima Song and Gao Ruo took a closer look and were shocked to see several palace guards in front of them with several crossbow arrows in their bodies.
Looking up again, there seemed to be more than thirty county soldiers standing more than ten feet away, a dozen of them holding military crossbows.
"You even have a crossbow?"
Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, was shocked. He subconsciously protected his beloved wife Zhou behind him and said in a deep voice: "I am Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang. Who are you and why did you attack my mansion?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a leader who seemed to be a leader walking out of the county soldiers and said expressionlessly: "Sir Sima Song, please come with me. There is an adult who wants to see you."
Hearing this, Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, felt his heart skip a beat.
He had already guessed that the other party was definitely not Xiao Luan, because if the other party was a member of Xiao's party, they would not talk nonsense with him and would have shot him indiscriminately.
He guessed that the person the other party spoke of was definitely a powerful person in a high position in Daliang.
"...who is it?"
A layer of sweat broke out on Sima Song's forehead.
Swallowing secretly, Sima Song said in a deep voice: "I can go with you, but please stop killing people!"
The team leader thought for a moment and ordered one of his subordinates: "Go and tell them that Sima Song has been captured and stop killing people."
After that, after several county soldiers entered the house from the back door, he said to Quliang Hou Sima Song: "Quliang Hou, please."
Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, looked back at Zhou and Gao Ruo. The former shook his head and begged Sima Song not to leave, while Gao Ruo also persuaded him in a low voice: "Master Marquis, these people are by no means kind. They cannot go into danger alone. I will risk my life."
I will also protect the Marquis, his wife and the two young masters."
Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, shook his head, because he felt that the person who wanted to arrest him was probably extremely powerful, and he was definitely not someone he could resist.
It is better to obey than to make the other party unhappy.
Of course, he was also on guard.
"That Lord just wants to see me, right? Then, can I let my guards take my family and leave first?" Sima Song asked tentatively.
The team leader looked left and right at the street. Considering that this matter could not be delayed for too long, otherwise it would arouse others' suspicion, he simply gave the order: "Go! Leave Sima Song behind!"
Upon hearing this, the county soldiers under his command drew their sharp swords and killed them without saying a word.
Seeing this, Quliang Hou Sima Song's expression changed drastically: The other party actually wanted to kill all the members of his Quliang Hou family?!
"Protect the Marquis, his wife and the young master!"
Gao Ruo shouted and asked his son Gao Lin to come forward with the guards to meet the enemy. He took several guards to protect Sima Song, Zhou and the two young masters. They fought and retreated, hoping to kill one another.
Way to survive.
But it is not easy to escape from the hands of these thirty elite soldiers pretending to be county soldiers.
In just a moment, only four or five of the twenty-odd guards were left.
At the critical moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and turned to look in the direction where the sound came from, only to see that the team leader who was giving orders had been kidnapped by a man dressed as an ordinary person at some point.
"Who are you?" The captain was shocked because he didn't even realize he was being approached.
However, the man ignored him and just asked Quliang Hou Sima Song: "Quliang Hou Sima Song...is that right?"
"Yes, it is this prince."
Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, nodded repeatedly while protecting Mr. Zhou behind him.
Because he had vaguely guessed that the identity of this person was the one who had been monitoring him during these days, Qingya under the command of King Su Zhao Run!
Yes, this man dressed as a commoner who intervened midway was none other than one of the leaders of the Blue Crows, Crow Five.
"Follow my men!"
Following Ya Wu's words, a dozen figures suddenly appeared around him, some standing at the entrance of the alley, and some standing on the roofs of houses.
Seeing this, the captain's face showed a look of shock and anger, and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't get into trouble!"
"I'm afraid of you?"
Ya Wu smiled contemptuously and ordered in a deep voice: "Take Sima Song and his party away!"
Since the team leader was held hostage, the rest of the county soldiers did not dare to act rashly.
But at this moment, there was only a sound of crossbow strings, and a Green Crow fell from the roof of the house with a clatter, and fell to the ground motionless.
"Huh?" Ya Wu was shocked when he saw this. He turned around and saw a group of county soldiers surrounding him from both sides.
Immediately, a feminine man holding a red lantern appeared in front of everyone.
In full view of the public, the feminine man came to the side of the dead Green Crow, squatted down, raised the right arm of the corpse, frowned at the sleeve arrow on his right arm, and then took another cut from the skin on the waist of the corpse.
From the sheath, he pulled out a three-edged military thorn and took a closer look at the lantern.
"Trouble, it's King Su's blue crow..."
The feminine man frowned deeply.
At this time, Ya Wu also looked at the feminine man in disbelief, and secretly muttered in his heart: Internal Attendant Supervisor?!
This is really a flood that destroyed the Dragon King Temple.
You must know that in Daliang, the relationship between the Qingya people and the internal eunuchs is quite good.
Standing up again, the feminine man glanced at the green crows and said in a deep voice: "I have an order to apprehend serious criminals. Can you please... give me a convenience?" As he said that, he pointed to the people at his feet.
Corpse, lowered his voice and said: "In the future, someone will personally come to apologize."
After hearing this, Yawu said coldly: "It's unfortunate that the key criminal mentioned by you is also our... target. How about you give me a convenience?"
Because he had the support of Su Wang Zhao Run, Ya Wu was not worthy of serving as an internal eunuch.
The feminine man's eyebrows frowned deeply. Suddenly, his face turned cold and he said harshly: "Kill them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the county soldiers behind him swarmed up and killed the Qingya people including Ya Wu and others.
Seeing this, even Crow Five was stunned.
"This damn eunuch... really dares to do something?!"
