In the dead of night, Ge Hong's sudden shout woke up Cheng Jiu from his sleep.
Cheng Jiu suddenly opened his eyes and stood up quickly. He turned around and saw that Fatty Lai, who was in the same room, was still sleeping soundly. He immediately rushed over and kicked him: "Stop sleeping!"
But Fatty Lai didn't wake up after being kicked down. Cheng Jiu kicked him twice more. Only then did Fatty Lai react. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and asked sleepily: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Jiu shouted "something happened", then stopped caring about Fatty Lai, turned around, picked up an official sword and ran out of the house.
Cheng Jiu ran out of the house with a knife and quickly came behind Ge Hong and the three government officials.
As soon as he stood still, Cheng Jiu saw the scene in front of Ge Hong. At this time, three or four feet away in front of him, there were more than a dozen men with long knives and fierce expressions lined up in a row, slowly approaching them.
!
Facing these gangsters, Ge Hong held his official sword tightly with a solemn expression, but the three government officials next to him had a different look. The swords in their hands were shaking all the time. You didn't need to ask to know how scared they were.
"Rogue bandit?" Cheng Jiu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the official knife as he asked.
Ge Hong stared ahead as if facing a formidable enemy, and whispered back: "It's not like the rogue bandits. When have the rogue bandits' weapons ever been so consistent?"
Cheng Jiu took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the case. Although the people surrounding them were dressed in different and even tattered clothes, they had exactly the same long knives in their hands. They were completely different from the rogue bandits who had a variety of weapons.
"Who could that be?" Cheng Jiu wondered.
Ge Hong sneered and said: "Whoever they are, they are here to rob the gold anyway!"
Cheng Jiu stood next to Ge Hong in one step, holding his official sword across his chest and saying, "It's not that easy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Lai from the room strode out and stood behind Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu with a fierce look on his face: "Brother, I'm here!"
I saw Fatty Lai holding a long-handled copper hammer in his hand. This was a newly purchased weapon when I took him to the blacksmith shop that day to measure the size. It weighed a hundred kilograms and could not be used by ordinary people, but it was
Very suitable for a strong man like Fatty Lai.
At that time, Fatty Lai fell in love with this copper hammer at a glance. Cheng Jiu had always had the best relationship with him, so after some bargaining, he spent a lot of money to buy it for him.
At this moment, Guan Maochun's voice came from the room: "Brother, I'm here!"
Ge Hong was so anxious that he turned around and shouted: "Go back! Guard the back, and you are not allowed to leave without my order!"
"I know, brother!" Guan Maochun responded loudly, then turned back and ran back to the back of the house.
Ge Hong felt a little more relieved now. Judging from the current situation, as long as the eleven of them can firmly guard the front and back doors, they can ensure that the gold is not lost!
At this time, the crowd approaching from the front suddenly stopped, and then a big man walked out of the team. He raised his long sword and pointed it at Ge Hong and the others, and said in an arrogant tone: "Get rid of your soldiers."
If the sword surrenders, grandpa will reward you with a way to survive if he is happy, hahaha..."
The person who came out to speak was none other than Lan Mujia. He led half of his men to attack from the front, while the other men were given to Cross Eyes, so that he could spot the right moment and attack from the back door.
Cheng Jiu immediately retorted: "Where did the dog bark? It's really noisy!"
"Hahaha..." As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Lai laughed cooperatively. It seemed that he didn't take these people seriously at all.
It's no wonder that the five Ge Hongs all saved their lives from the pile of dead. The tragic situation back then did not break them. Now it is just a small scene!
Lan Mujia then sneered and said: "You don't want to live, but choose a dead road. In this case, grandpa will help you!"
Then, Lan Mujia shouted to everyone: "Brothers, listen up, don't leave a single person alive!"
"Ouch!" The crowd behind Lan Mujia immediately shouted in unison.
As soon as the shouts ended, Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu heard a crisp "clang" sound coming from their feet next to them.
Everyone turned around and saw that the official sword in the hand of a government servant next to them fell to the ground. It was not known whether he threw it away by himself or was frightened by the sound just now.
Ge Hong immediately said: "What are you afraid of? Pick it up!"
But the words had no effect. The yamen servant was already extremely frightened. After seeing his legs trembling for a while, he knelt down, then hugged his head and cried out in a broken voice: "No...
Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."
Before the fight even started, they were so frightened that Lan Mujia and his men immediately started laughing crazily.
Although the other two government officials could still hold the sword, judging from their faces, it was obvious that they were on the verge of collapse. If a group of people from the opposite side suddenly came to kill them at this time, they would probably either run away with their heads covered, or fall to the ground and beg for mercy.
Ge Hong scolded them in his heart for being too cowardly, but he had no other way, so he had to order: "You two, quickly pull him in and block the door to prevent him from coming out!"
As if they had been granted amnesty, the two government officials immediately dragged the person into the house, then closed the door and started looking for something to block the door!
Then, Cheng Jiu took a step forward and picked up the fallen official sword. Then he collided the two swords with their blades and asked provocatively: "Who comes up first to die?"
Lan Mujia nodded and said: "Okay, you are smart enough...Brothers, come together!"
As soon as the order was given, a dozen people behind Lan Mujia rushed towards Ge Hong and the others.

In the inner courtyard of the county government office, Situ Jing's room.
In the dark and quiet room, Situ Jing was lying on the bed covered in sweat and her body was twisting and turning. At this time, she was experiencing a terrible nightmare...
"ah!"
Suddenly, Situ Jing screamed and sat up straight, and then began to breathe heavily.
"It turned out to be a dream, I was scared to death, huh..." Situ Jing, who woke up, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief in the darkness.
Soon, the little ringer from outside came in with a candle: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaohuan heard Situ Jing's cry, so he rushed over to check it out immediately.
Situ Jing had already calmed down, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, it was just a nightmare..."
Xiaohuan walked over and took a look and found that the lady's head was covered with sweat. He immediately found a sweat towel and handed it to the lady. At the same time, he asked with concern: "Miss, what did you dream about? You are sweating like this..."
."
Situ Jing did not hide it from Xiao Huan, but said fearfully: "I just dreamed that the mine was robbed, and Uncle Ge and the others were also surrounded by rogue bandits. Later, they tried hard to break out, but Cheng Jiu was seriously injured and saw someone stabbing him.
When I was about to stab him in the heart, I woke up with a fright... Xiaohuan, what do you think they are doing now, are they going to be fine?"
Xiao Huanguang also felt very scary when she heard what the lady said. However, she did not spread such emotions, but quickly smiled and comforted: "Miss, it will be okay! I heard some old people say that nightmares are reverses, so
According to what the young lady dreamed about, Uncle Ge and Brother Cheng will be fine!"
"Really?" Situ Jing said dubiously.
Xiaohuan nodded vigorously: "It's the real lady. Just sleep peacefully. They will all be back in a few days..."
"Um......"
Situ Jing responded in a low voice, then took a few gentle breaths and then slowly lay down.
After lying down, Situ Jing couldn't help but pray in her heart: Cheng Jiu, you must come back safely...
