Liu Xiu looked at Zhao Gui in confusion and asked, "Brother Zhao, what happened?"
Zhao Gui panted heavily and said pantingly: "Jin Zhuangzi, hurry up, a large group of thieves have entered the village!"
Liu Xiu quickly got out of bed and asked, "How many bandits are there?"
"I don't know, there are a lot of them anyway, we have to leave quickly!" Zhao Gui stepped forward quickly, pulled Liu Xiu's sleeve, turned around and ran out.
However, it was too late for them to leave at this time. The two intersections between the east and west of the village were blocked by a large number of people holding sharp knives. On the main road in the center of the village, fierce and tough men could be seen everywhere.
When Liu Xiu walked out of Muramasa's house, the street was already in chaos.
The big men with swords and spears searched house by house and drove out all the villagers inside. Nearly a hundred men, women and children in the village gathered on the street, each one trembling with fear.
A man riding a war horse walked out of the crowd. He looked around at the villagers and said loudly: "We are a large gun army! We passed by your village today. We didn't care about our lives, we just wanted to have food to eat!"
The village leader Zhao Li walked out of the villagers, came to the big man's horse, bowed and saluted, and said: "This sir, this little man is the village leader of Pingcun, his surname is Zhao Mingli! It has just begun spring, and every household in the village,
We are not even rich, so please be kind and generous and let the people of Pingcun go alone!"
"Muramasa?!" The man on the horse squinted his eyes, looked Zhao Li up and down, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "Since he is Muramasa, his family must be very rich!"
Zhao Li quickly waved his hand and said: "Sir, I have some surplus food in my family. I can donate it all to you!"
The man chuckled and asked, "Just food?"
"Uh... I only have a little bit of food left in this little man's house."
"Whose household is Muramasa?" The man looked at the nearby villagers and asked loudly.
The surrounding villagers were so frightened that they backed away, not daring to take a breath. Although Zhao Li was the leader of the village, he never bullied others and dealt with justice. Whenever someone was in trouble, he would always find ways to help them solve it, making him very popular among the villagers.
.
Seeing that there were so many people present, no one was willing to point out which one was the Muramasa family. The man sneered, pointed at a villager in his thirties, and said, "Tell me! Which household is the Muramasa family?"
The villager swallowed, shrank back, and said nothing. The man nodded and shook his head to the nearby men. A large spearman quickly walked up to the villager and looked him up and down, not noticing anything.
Without warning, he kicked the villager in the stomach and knocked him to the ground. Without waiting for him to get up from the ground, he stabbed him with a spear. There was a pop in the ear, and the spear
Pierce the villager's chest and nail him to the ground.
This scene made all the villagers present turn pale and scream. Listening to the people's horrified shouts, the big man seemed to be enjoying himself, and the smile on his face became even wider.
He slowly raised his hand and moved his fingers back and forth in the air. After a moment, his fingers stopped, pointed at a village woman about forty years old, and said, "Say!"
The village woman knelt down on the ground with a bang, kowtowed repeatedly, and said: "Sir, please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life..."
"I'll let you tell me which household is the Muramasa family!"
Seeing the village woman's face turned pale with fright, Zhao Li was so angry that he was livid, but there was nothing he could do about her. He took a step forward and said, "Sir, this little person is here..."
Before he finished speaking, the big man on horseback whipped Zhao Li's face with his whip, knocking him to the ground. Zhao Li screamed, and scarlet blood flowed from his hands and face along the gaps between his fingers.
.
"I asked her to say it! Did you ask me to say it?" The big man squinted at Zhao Li and said in a sinister tone.
When Liu Xiu in the crowd saw this, he stepped forward. Zhao Gui, with tears in his eyes, grabbed Liu Xiu's sleeves and shook his head at him. Liu Xiu knew that Zhao Gui was worried about his own safety.
He clenched his fists subconsciously, squinted his eyes, and looked around, secretly calculating how many people there were on the other side.
As far as he can see now, there are almost more than two hundred people on the other side. As for how many more people he can't see here, he doesn't know.
Even if he were in full strength, he might not be able to win against two hundred enemy troops alone. What's more, he was still injured, and he was even less sure about fighting more than two hundred people with his injuries.
The village woman was frightened by the spearmen. She raised her head tremblingly, pointed to Zhao Li's house not far away, and said: "Then... that's the Muramasa's house!"
After speaking, she lowered her head deeply, not daring to look at the villagers around her.
The big man sneered and shook his head at his men on the left and right. More than a dozen big men carried spears and ran towards Zhao Li's house. When they got close, they kicked open the courtyard door and swarmed in.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Li's house was in a state of panic, and there were constant crackling and breaking sounds.
Not long after, a dozen soldiers came out of Zhao Li's house, carrying a large package and a large roll of black bear skin in their hands.
All the soldiers came to the big man and placed the things in front of him as if they were offering treasures. They said, "Brother Ren, we have found the treasure this time!"
The big man looked down, got off his horse, walked to the black bear skin, and asked his soldiers to unfold it.
"Brother Ren, if such a big bear skin is delivered to the general, Brother Ren will have done a great service!"
"When the time comes, Brother Ren will no longer be the commander of the camp, but can be promoted to Sima or even school captain!"
Listening to the compliments of the soldiers, the big man raised the corners of his mouth and laughed proudly. Then, he tapped the big package with his toes and asked, "What's in this?"
A soldier opened the package and looked inside. It was all copper coins, and there were a lot of turtle coins in it. It was estimated to be several thousand coins. After looking at it, the big man's eyes flashed. After a moment, he looked back and looked.
He walked towards Zhao Li who was still lying on the ground, bent down, grabbed Zhao Li's clothes, lifted him up, and sat him up. He nuzzled at the coins and bearskin next to him, as if smiling.
He asked with a smile: "Muramasa, didn't you say that we only have some food left at home? What are these?"
Zhao Li trembled and said tremblingly: "This is... this is something someone else kept in a villain's house..."
"Oh? Deposit?! Haha, haha." The big man chuckled lightly at first, and then turned into a laugh on his back. Without warning, he suddenly pulled out the sword under his ribs, pointed it at Zhao Li's chest, and stabbed him with the sword.
past.
It was too fast and too sudden. Not to mention that the surrounding villagers had no time to stop him. Even if they had a chance to stop him, no one would dare to step forward at this time. Just as the sword was about to pierce Zhao Li's chest, suddenly,
Listen to a whooshing sound.
A ray of cold light cut through the sky and hit the big man's neck.
The big man's body suddenly stiffened, and his sword could no longer pierce. He slowly straightened up, raised his hand, and touched his neck. What he touched was the nock of the crossbow arrow exposed outside his neck.
, and at the same time touched the blood in his palms.
He opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't spit out a single word. He fell straight forward and made a muffled sound.
Time seemed to freeze for an instant. Looking at the big man who fell to the ground, the spearmen present were dumbfounded, and the villagers were also dumbfounded. People stood there blankly, their eyes widened, motionless.
I don’t know how long it took, but the villagers screamed, and then people ran away in fear. wavv
At the same time, the eyes of the spearmen present were all red, and they roared angrily: "They killed Brother Ren! Kill them all, leaving no one behind! Avenge Brother Ren! Kill!"
The big gunmen were like crazy, raising their weapons one after another, and preparing to attack the fleeing villagers nearby. Liu Xiu stood on the spot, with his back straight, and shouted loudly: "I killed the person!"
His voice was like thunder exploding in the clear sky, attracting the attention of all the spearmen present to him alone. Zhao Gui looked anxious and said: "Golden Warrior..."
"Go protect your brother, and escape from here!" Liu Xiu didn't even look at Zhao Gui, but pushed him far away. Then, he strode forward to meet several large spearmen who were coming straight towards him.
Walked over.
When the two sides came into contact, a large spearman roared violently and stabbed him in the chest with a spear. Liu Xiu turned slightly sideways and managed to pass the edge without any danger. When the opponent was about to withdraw his spear, he retracted his arm.
, and clamped the spear firmly under his armpits.
Just as the opponent was about to compete with him, Liu Xiu kicked the opponent's knee, and there was a click. The opponent's right leg bent in the opposite direction, and he fell to the ground, screaming.
Liu Xiu picked up the spear under his ribs and stabbed the opponent to the ground with a spear. The screams suddenly stopped.
When he eliminated an enemy, more than ten large spearmen gathered around him. People shouted and attacked Liu Xiu together. Liu Xiu held a spear in one hand and drew a circle around himself.
.
With the sound of sand, a circle of large spearmen, without exception, had their clothes on their chests torn. Some had no wounds on their flesh, while others had their flesh slashed.
Regardless of whether they were injured or not, everyone was stunned. Taking this opportunity, Liu Xiu pierced a soldier with his spear and hit him in the chest.
Then he shouted loudly and continued to stab with the spear. Poof, the spearhead poked out from behind and stabbed a large spearman behind him.
A spear skewered two people, killing them both.
Liu Xiu returned his hand and drew his sword, swung it to the side, and with two clicks, the two spears he thrust broke and the two spearheads fell to the ground. Before the opponent could recover, Liu Xiu stepped forward and walked away.
In a flash, the Red Sky Sword swept out.
Click, click! There were two more crisp sounds, and the heads of the two large spearmen flew up, leaving two headless corpses still standing on the spot holding half spears.
Liu Xiu swung his legs sideways and kicked to the side, kicking out a standing headless corpse, which collided with the soldiers behind him and fell into a ball.
Since arriving in Hebei, Liu Xiu has been committed to appeasing the people, reviving all industries, and stabilizing the turbulent situation in Hebei where the people are living in dire straits.
But what the rebels did was completely opposite to all the efforts he had made. Liu Xiu hated what the rebels did from the bottom of his heart.
At this time of the battle, Liu Xiu showed no mercy and used all his strength to put the opponent to death.
After several interviews, six or seven corpses had fallen around Liu Xiu, and pieces of Yin Hong were splashed on Liu Xiu's face and body.
He held the Red Sky Sword that emitted red light, looked around at the more and more large spearmen gathered around him, and said word by word: "When you started the uprising, you were determined to fight against recklessness and find a way to survive for yourself. Now Wang Mang has
Die, but you and others continue to cause chaos in Hebei, treating human life as nothing. What you and others have done today is even worse than Wang Mang!"
"Brothers, don't listen to his farts here! Let's all come together and kill him to avenge Brother Ren!"
"Kill!" The big spearmen roared with red eyes, and attacked Liu Xiu together. Liu Xiu said no more nonsense, and fought with the big spearmen with swords.
