Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 514: Seeking Fortune and Honor in Danger [Thank you! Thank you again! I owe you 43k more]

Beizhou City East,

“Chu~pa!”

The third firework flew straight into the air, making a noise.

In the quiet morning, the sound travels far away.

inside the city,

Not far from Feng's house, in the dim streets,
Hearing the noise, Xu Zaijing turned his head to look in the direction of the fireworks.

"Brother Jing, the reinforcements arrived so quickly?"

Gu Tingye, who was beside him, carrying two long spears, whispered.

Xu Zaijing also had some doubts in his eyes, and said, "This is the code we agreed upon with Brother He! Could it be the garrison of a nearby military state?"

Gao Puyu nodded and said, "Wu Lang is right. The most likely possibility is that they are the newly recruited cavalry troops stationed between Beizhou and Zhending."

"Why can't it be General Gan from the south?" Gu Tingye said.

Gao Puyu smiled and said, "Erlang, the infantry can march a hundred miles a day! If General Gan had a strong army with such a fast marching speed, he wouldn't have stayed in Guantao behind the Marquis!"

Gu Tingye looked somewhat smug and nodded: "Three cannon shots, that means three thousand reinforcements!"

As they talked, they continued walking forward and soon arrived at the street entrance where the Feng family lived.

Qingyun, who was walking in the front, hid by the wall with a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. He first looked to the right, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual on the street, he moved forward a few steps, walked to the corner of the wall, and looked to the left.

Then Qingyun waved back.

'Bragging'

The sound of armor colliding could be heard.

Xu Zaijing, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, trotted forward very quickly. Gao Puyu and Gao Yunqing hurriedly followed, then Gu Tingye carrying a long spear, and finally Qingyun followed.

The reason why Gu Tingye carried a spear instead of a bow and arrow was because he was the only one among the five who had no "battle record" and felt a little uncomfortable when seeing blood.

Coming to the opposite street,

Before Gu Tingye could catch his breath, he heard a few "bang bang" sounds of bowstrings vibrating in front of him.

"Dah!"

"ho"

“Ding~Puff!”

“Dang~Ka!”

There were several sounds of weapons and armor colliding, mixed with the sounds of broken bones and heavy objects hitting people.

The alley was a little dark.
When Gu Tingye approached, he could see clearly that there was a man at the door. He was wearing armor lazily, and his neck had been shot through. The sharp feather arrow pierced through his neck and nailed him to the bloody door frame.

The companion next to this man was shot in the eye and lay on the ground.

Going further ahead, I saw Xu Zaijing, a classmate from Sheng Family Academy, swinging the red and white object on the steel mace in his hand in the yard.

Gao Yunqing was using a short blade to finish off the enemy.

Gao Puyu, the general of his own guard, was strangling the bandit soldier with one hand, who was sticking out his tongue, and it seemed that he was dying.

In addition to the bodies of the bandits, there were also several bodies of civilians in the yard.

When Gu Tingye was about to speak, he saw Xu Zaijing shaking his head at him and pointing to the house where the bandits came out.

Gu Tingye understood and threw one of the two long spears on his shoulders to Xu Zaijing.

There was some noisy noise when Xu Zaijing killed the thieves.

Now they stopped and the yard fell into silence again.

suddenly,

There was a sound.
A white thing ran out of the house.
Gu Tingye, holding a lance, was about to stab forward reflexively, but just as he made the move, he felt his lance was blocked by someone.

Later, Gu Tingye could see clearly that the person running out was a girl with disheveled hair and naked clothes, who looked about the same age as his sister.

The girl took just two steps before she fell to the ground.

At this moment, another figure appeared at the door of the house, before Gu Tingye could react.

"Whoosh!"

A feathered arrow shot out like lightning.

Shoot down the figure at the door.

Gu Tingye looked back and saw Qingyun had already pulled out the second feather arrow and put it on the bow.

Gao Puyu reacted quickly. He walked to the fallen girl and looked at the scars on her body. He frowned and whispered, "Girl, don't scream! We have already avenged you a little. Don't scream!"

"No no no."

The woman did not shout, but just looked at Gao Puyu and made unclear sounds.

Gao Puyu frowned, and used his strength to pinch the woman's mouth open with one hand. Seeing that her tongue was still in her mouth, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye and said, "It seems that she is born dumb."

inside the house,
"Hiss! Uh, uh, you. Are. Come~"

The person who was just shot down by Qingyun made a sound.

Gu Tingye looked at the woman in front of him, then looked inside the house, and stretched out his hand to Xu Zaijing and said:

"Brother Jing, can you lend me your steel mace?"

Xu Zaijing handed the steel mace to Gu Tingye and said, "Don't kill him right away. Find out why he raped, killed, and robbed."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing turned around again and raised his chin towards Qingyun.

Qingyun, who was at the back, put away his bow and arrow, pulled out the arrow from the neck of the thief at the door, and dragged the man into the yard.

Xu Zaijing walked into the house, and Gao Puyu followed him holding the girl.

There are five main rooms in this courtyard.

In the main hall, Gao Yunqing squatted next to Gu Tingye, pinching the bandit's neck to prevent him from shouting, while teaching Gu Tingye how to interrogate in a 'friendly' manner without endangering his life.

Gao Puyu carried the girl into the innermost room to put on her clothes.

Xu Zaijing stood in the side room between the main hall and the inner room.
He sighed, his eyes scanning the room unconsciously.

suddenly,

Xu Zaijing's eyes stopped on a basket on a table by the window.
There was cloth and several spools of thread in the basket. Xu Zaijing had excellent eyesight and could see sewing needles inserted into the spools.

There is also a half-sewn earmuff inside the basket.

Xu Zaijing walked a few steps closer and saw that the earmuffs were made of fine materials. On the sewn half of the earmuffs, there was an embroidered cute raccoon pattern that imitated the popular pattern in Bianjing.

I guess the person who did the embroidery is a very skillful person.

Looking at what is in front of you,
Xu Zaijing took a deep breath.

outside the house,

There could be heard the sound of a steel mace hitting flesh, and the sound of someone rubbing his feet on the ground in agony.

"Can you speak?"

"Uh-huh!"

"These, these, these men, all of them... did not obey the Buddha's orders, and were unwilling to... hiss... tattoo their faces to live and die with the Buddha. I, we came here just now..."

"Puff!" Gu Tingye smashed down with his steel mace again. "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Xu Zaijing came out.
"What's going on with the Feng family, the military supervisor on the other side?"

Seeing Gu Tingye raising the steel mace again, the bandit soldier with an arrow in his shoulder shook his head in panic and struggled, "Grandpa! Stop smashing it! Grandpa, I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

"For some reason, a big fire broke out at Feng's house the night before yesterday. When we went there, no one was there."

Gao Yunqing, who was standing by, held the arrow shaft on the bandit's shoulder and asked, "Did you set the fire?"

"No, no, it caught fire the night before yesterday. It's dry in winter. How dare we set a fire?"

"I am afraid that it will spread to the surroundings. Fire, fire is all me."

"Hmm?" Gu Tingye asked doubtfully, "Are you so kind?"

"It was me. We forced the people around to put out the fire."

Gao Yunqing, who was standing by, raised his head and looked at Xu Zaijing, and said, "Wu Lang, I see that if these people don't go back at dawn, someone will definitely come to check."

Xu Zaijing nodded: "Well, let's go to Feng's house and take a look. If we really want to do this, we need to discuss it again." "Where is the thief leader now?"

"Replying to Grandpa, it's in the prefectural government office, the government office."

"What does this Buddhist bandit leader look like? Besides him, are there any other bandit leaders?"

"Reply, reply grandpa, this Buddhist bandit leader is a big man with a curly beard. He likes to wear armor inside and a monk's robe outside. He is very skilled in martial arts. His surname is Bu."

After speaking,
Gao Yunqing said: "Wu Lang, it's similar to what the thieves in the first house we robbed said."

After Xu Zaijing nodded, he raised his chin towards Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye: “Hmm?”

Seeing Xu Zaijing's actions, the bandit soldier struggled violently.

Gu Tingye hadn't reacted yet, and he pressed the thief hard: "Don't move! Brother Jing, what do you mean?"

Gao Yunqing said on behalf of Xu Zaijing: "Erlang, give him a quick death!"

Gu Tingye was slightly stunned.

Seeing this, the bandit begged for mercy in a low voice: "Grandpa, I have said everything, please spare my grandson's life! I have a 50-year-old mother and a 4- or 5-year-old child. Please..."

At this time, the girl who had just rushed out came out from the innermost room, wearing clothes.

Looking at the woman, Gu Tingye narrowed his eyes and said, "Please mother!"

As he said that, Gu Tingye swung his mace violently and smashed it down.

Feng Family,

The yard was filled with burnt buildings and broken walls, and the air smelled of something burning.

Looking at the collapsed house and the charred walls, one can vaguely see how fierce the fire was.

Outside the yard,

The yard where the stables are located,
The stables were burnt down, the carriages were burnt, and the horses were gone.
Under the stone trough, half a blue brick moved slightly, and after it was pulled out, an eye appeared behind it.

Then, the blue bricks were stuffed in again.

Below the manger, a man released the obstructed candle and walked downwards in the light.

After walking for a while, the man came to a secret room the size of two rooms and said, "Sir, it looks like daybreak is approaching."

Just this one candle vaguely illuminated the figures of Zhao Meifeng, Lord Feng and their families.

Zhao Meifeng nodded.

Lord Feng on the side sighed and said:
"Brother Zhao, it's useless for us to say these things! Although the Xu family brother has made great contributions in the northwest! But at this moment, Beizhou is an extremely dangerous place! Will he come in? How will he come in?"

Zhao Meifeng shook his head slightly and said softly, "Brother Feng, you don't know how powerful Jing'er is! If there is a chance, he will definitely come into the city to rescue us."

"Alas!" Lord Feng looked at the secret room in the dark and said, "I don't know how long this secret room left by the previous dynasty can protect us."

Zhao Meifeng said, "Brother Feng, even if Brother Jing doesn't come, when the army gathers and starts attacking the city in a few days, we can find an opportunity to either leave the city or serve the country."

Lord Feng was about to answer.
"Boom."

There was a barely audible thump.

The secret room immediately became quiet.

"Boom."

Another crash.

In the candlelight, Zhao Meifeng pointed his finger upwards and said in a very low voice, "Someone is climbing over the wall."

Lord Feng nodded, pulled Zhao Meifeng's sleeve, and the two of them walked lightly to the side.

Stopping at a place where light was faintly coming in, Lord Feng carefully pulled out a small piece of blue brick.

Looking from here, it seems that under the screen wall of the side door, one can vaguely see the direction of the stable.

suddenly,

"Boom!"

There was another sound, and a dark shadow wearing a bandit's armor jumped to the ground not far from the screen wall with his back to the two of them.

Lord Feng seemed to be frightened, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. Zhao Meifeng's breathing was not rapid, he just stared.

then,

He saw the dark shadow suddenly look back.

Lord Feng and Zhao Meifeng quickly covered their mouths and noses and squatted down.

Lord Feng looked at Zhao Meifeng with panic and surprise in his eyes: That black shadow, he just breathed faster, how did he attract this person's attention?

Footsteps sounded,
The dark shadow walked to the shadow wall.
"Brother Jing, what's wrong?"

The dark shadow further away asked.

"nothing!"

Hearing the conversation, Zhao Meifeng and Lord Feng's eyes widened at the same time.

"Boom."

A fourth man jumped down.

"Wulang, what's wrong?" Gao Yunqing's voice rang out.

Zhao Meifeng quickly stood up: "Jing'er, Yunqing, we are here!"

Near the Feng family, the mute girl rescued by Xu Zaijing and others has entered the secret room.

in the yard,
Xu Zaijing and others were preparing armor, spears, bows and arrows.

Lord Feng, who was standing by, said with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother Jing, are you going to go directly to find the thief leader?"

"The bandit leader has thousands of bandit soldiers under his command, as well as an unknown number of Maitreya believers. Wouldn't it be like sending yourself to death if you go there?"

Looking at Xu Zaijing who was unmoved, Lord Feng turned to Zhao Meifeng and said:

"Brother Zhao, as we discussed last night, we should prioritize protecting the city's military supplies and money!"

Zhao Meifeng said: "Brother Feng, the Imperial City Division is largely responsible for today's incident. Since Brother Jing said he is sure, I am willing to go to the battlefield with him again!"

Lord Feng: "Brother Zhao, you!"

Xu Zaijing said: "Master Feng, we have killed the bandit leader. Without someone to give orders, these bandits will just have to protect their money and military supplies!"

"But they are so numerous and powerful. How can we kill them? Can we kill them all?"

Lord Feng asked urgently.

Gao Puyu on the side said:
"Sir Feng, now that there are reinforcements outside the city, how many soldiers are there to defend the surrounding walls? There are tens of thousands of households in Beizhou City, how many of them have joined the bandits?"

"We entered the city in the early morning and saw that there were still many soldiers scattered around the city committing crimes. How many people did the bandit leader have?"

Gu Tingye smiled.

Xu Zaijing said: "Sir Feng, sometimes you don't have to kill them all. If more than 20 of the 100 bandits are killed or injured but not collapsed, they are considered elite soldiers."

"Let's wait a day or two. The people in the city will be forced to follow the thieves and have no choice but to go up to the city walls to defend and kill the soldiers of the Great Zhou. If they lose lives, that will be a huge problem!"

Qingyun nodded and looked at the soldiers beside Lord Feng, saying, "It has been a day of chaos. Many military officers in the city have died in battle. It has been peaceful for a night. The leader of the bandits will not expect that we will kill them directly."

As he spoke, Qingyun patted the bandit's armor on his body.

"grown ups!"

The Feng family's personal soldiers came up to their master and shouted, then continued:

"We can't follow the thieves, otherwise our families in Beijing will be implicated! We can't delay this any longer!"

"The two heirs of the Marquis' Mansion are here now, and they are not afraid, so what should we be afraid of?"

"My lord, do it!"

"Sir, do it! Fight to get a title for your wife and children!"

Lord Feng looked at the crowd, his eyes gradually firmed up: "Okay!"

Gao Puyu smiled and said, "Then, please ask Mr. Feng to borrow two cars from the neighbors!"

Lord Feng stretched out his arms, motioning his guards to put on his armor, and said, "Borrow? We can ask for it! We are bandits now."
