Jiaohua

The head of Bailu Township and the country gentry were now grey-haired.

They gathered outside the dilapidated and abandoned ancestral hall in Bailu Township. The guards in front of the gate would not let them in. A group of hundreds of them would neither leave nor stay.

The food sent was left inside, not a word of reward, not even a reply, only the guards came out to let people go.The head of the village and the gentry did not leave, and the guards did not drive them away, they just refused to let them go.

It was dark outside the ancestral hall, the only light was a lantern on the open space inside the ancestral hall, and there was no light around.

Insects chirped at the edge of the field, and occasionally frogs croaked passing by. The night in Hejing in the first ten days of May was not yet unbearably hot, and the wind was blowing, and it was actually a little cold.

The old village head leaned on a cane with both hands, frowning.

If you really want to say why they came here, the fellow village head can't explain it himself, but he is not at ease, anxious and sleepless.

There was a big event in the capital, they had no information and couldn't find out the specifics, but they knew that it was a huge and earth-shattering event.

Now, the ten villages and eight stores in Bailu Township have come again with thousands of troops, who can not panic.

At this time, a fast horse galloped back and went straight to the great ancestral hall without hindrance.

The men in front of the ancestral hall hurried over and asked loudly what happened.

Because of this commotion, several men who looked like military officers came out of the ancestral hall.

The village chief didn't know the others, but he could recognize Bi Ying at a glance.

"General Bi!" shouted the fellow village chief, "General Bi!"

Bi Ying looked at them, whispered a few words to the subordinates behind them, who took orders and came out from the ancestral hall.

"Old village chief," said the subordinate, "our general said that if you stay here again, you will use military law to drive people out."

"Why, why!" The old village head was angry, "This is the place where we pay homage to Lu Township!"

"This place is now an important place for military strategists. Our general only gives you time for a cup of tea. If you don't want to leave, we have no choice but to ask you to leave."

The word please was specially emphasized by him.

The crowd was furious, and a group of men gathered around to try to give an explanation, but the guards stopped them with spears in their hands, and they were not allowed to go forward.A few people were too excited and suddenly attacked the guards, causing chaos on the scene.

Suddenly, someone among the men in Bailu Township shouted: "The soldiers are coming, the army is coming!"

Seeing a large group of soldiers running in the distance, the men from Bailu Township turned around and ran away.

In the panic, there were people going southeast and northwest.

A few who ran too slowly were caught by the on-site guards, and the soldiers who had just arrived were not polite, and chased after them to arrest them.

The head of the township was an old bone, and was almost carried away by a group of villagers. They ran a long way, and after making sure that there were no pursuers behind them, they stopped to rest.

"Bah!" a man yelled, "such wildness on our land!"

"That's right, isn't this our home?"

"They all look like characters, but they're actually nothing!"

……

Everyone was cursing, cursing and cursing, and someone whispered: "Have you noticed anything wrong?"

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and a few people look down at the ground.

One of them suddenly lay down on the ground, pressing his ears to the ground tightly.

After listening for a while, his expression changed greatly: "Listen!"

Several people got down on the ground.

But the village head stood up tremblingly on crutches, and looked into the distance without blinking.

"Get up," the old man said solemnly, "Look."

The villagers got up from the ground and looked at the soldiers and horses running in the distance.

One person murmured, "It's the army again..."

"Shh!" cried one.

Sharp-eyed people soon discovered that these were not armor made by Bi Jiajun.

Bailu Township is located in the wilderness, at the junction of Hejing and Xizhou. There are often military movements here. They don't say they know all the armours of the nearby major states and provinces, but more than half of them are very familiar.

The mayor said very lightly: "The visitor is not kind..."

When there were still a hundred steps left, the leading man slowed down, and the gradually stopped mount walked up to them.

The mayor clenched his cane tightly and swallowed nervously.

At this time, the moonlight was half exposed again, and the vision between the sky and the earth became better again, and the eyebrows and eyes of the leading man also became clear.

Seeing his facial features, the village chief and the others opened their eyes wide, unable to tell whether it was real or not.

The night is dark, the moonlight is faint, the wind is whistling all around, and the mountains and clouds in the distant sky have become a curtain of night.

The man sat on the horse with a rope, his black jade black eyes like a deep pool swept coldly from everyone, and fell on the village head.

The face is extremely cold, but also extremely handsome, cutting the moon into face, melting jade into bone, plucking stars into eyes, stealing whiteness from snow, black satin-like ponytail is blown up by the wind, and the broken hair on his forehead is also brushing his eyebrows, looking cold and cold .

A long spear was slanted behind his straight back, and the cold light on the long spear was dazzling, adding to his coldness and murderous intent, like the Shura Hades who came out of the underworld.

The fellow village chief forgot even his fear for a moment, and stared at him blankly.

Shen Lie said, "Is this the hometown of Bailu?"

The fellow village head regained his composure: "Who are you...?"

Shen Lie continued to ask: "It's midnight, where are you guys going?"

The village chief squeezed his crutch tightly, and looked at the villagers on both sides as if asking for help, one of whom was the village chief of a nearby village.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Lie asked the previous question: "Is this place Bailu Township?"

The fellow village chief looked at the soldiers behind Shen Lie. Looking in the dark night, there were about dozens of them, not too many, but all of them were tall and burly, dressed in black armor, and looked majestic.

"This is indeed Bailu Township," the old village chief looked back at Shen Lie, "Dare to ask, are you their leader? Are you the general?"

Shen Lie said: "I am, may I ask again, is there a large army stationed here?"

The village head was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to speak or not.

This statement obviously exposed Bi Jiajun.

A family member behind him stood up and shouted: "Yes! There is a large army stationed! There are not many!"

The village chief was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to stare at the relative.

The clan's face was covered with wounds. He fled too hastily just now and fell on the ground. Because of this, he is very angry now.

In a fit of rage, the family members opened their mouths and told them how long Bi's army had stayed here and how many people had come.

The fellow village chief was so angry that he called him to shut up several times to no avail, so he simply picked up his crutches and beat him.

"Stop!" Cheng Jieshi yelled, "You old man! You don't take us seriously because you think we are kind, stop!!"

At this moment, a torch was lit in the direction of the ancestral hall in the distance, and a long fire dragon quickly ran towards this side.

In addition to the direction of the ancestral hall, long fire dragons also appeared at the end of the sky farther away.

Those orange flames shone brightly between the sky and the earth, and rushed towards the ancestral hall quickly.

"Hurry up and go," Shen Lie looked at the fellow village head, "If you can't get away, then hide."
