"I made some inquiries. It is said that there are tens of thousands of rogues heading towards Yanglin County, preparing to attack the county seat."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

"Bai Zongbing has led his troops into the city, and it is strictly forbidden to open the city gate." The servant continued to say anxiously.

"Xin'er, what should we do?" Luo Ping panicked.

Everyone's eyes also focused on Luo Xin, Luo Xin took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions and said:

"Have the bandits appeared?"

"Not yet!" the servant shook his head.

"Then let's speed up."

"But... the city gate is closed!"

"With Brother Zhou here, we should have no problem entering the city." Luo Xin looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Leave the matter of entering the city to me. Let's speed up and reach the county seat before the bandits appear. If the bandits appear, even I can't ask to open the city gate."

"Okay, speed up!"

Everyone returned one after another and began to speed up.And Luo Ye and Luo Sheng didn't pull the carts alternately, but pulled the carts together.The speed of the entire team was significantly accelerated.

Already seen Yanglin County from a distance, the sixteen riders and those sitting in the car still maintained their strength, and those who walked on two legs were already out of breath, but their faces showed excitement color.

Finally saw the county seat.

and……

Haven't seen any bandits yet!
Luo Xin's brows were furrowed. At this time, five or six thousand refugees had already gathered outside the city gate. They were shouting and begging to let them enter the city.But did not get the slightest response.

"These people are too pitiful!" Lin Chang said while wiping his sweat, "Don't let them enter the city. Once the rogues come, these people will either be killed or join the rogues. Why doesn't President Bai let them enter the city? Let these common people enter the city, and there will be more people who help to defend the city. This warrior is ruthless."

"Mr. Lin!" Luo Qing rode on the horse and said in a concentrated voice: "It is reasonable for President Bai not to let them enter the city. Who knows if there are any rogues sighing secretly? The internal should cooperate with the external, and it is not only these 6000 people who were massacred."

Lin Chang opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.At this moment, he already knew in his heart that what Luo Qing said was reasonable, but his face was not very good-looking.Luo Qing's face was also a little ugly, Lin Chang's sentence "Warrior is cruel" made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of both of them, Luo Xin turned to look at Zhou Yu and said, "Brother Hao De, it's up to you."

"No problem!" Zhou Yu immediately stepped forward and said, "Let's continue walking forward. This place is more than 1000 meters away from the city gate, and they can't hear me calling."

"it is good……"

"The rogues are coming..."

Before Luo Xin could say "good", he heard a cry from the mouths of the five or six thousand people in the distance, and then saw the five or six thousand people fleeing in all directions, and they were heading towards Luo Xin and the others. direction of escape.

Luo Xin's expression was fixed, and he looked forward to the left, and saw a cavalry team composed of more than [-] rogues galloping towards Yanglin County.

above the city wall.

Mr. Bai and Zhou Zhixian stood against the wall, looking at the twenty or so cavalry with deep frowns.

"boom……"

More than 6000 horses rushed into the crowd, but it was like a torrent. Immediately, the bandits swung their swords, and countless refugees screamed and fell to the ground. In less than a quarter of an hour, the people who surrounded the city gate Except for those who were hacked to death, none of the [-] people left.And the twenty or so bandits didn't chase those refugees, and one bandit immediately bent his bow and set an arrow.

"Whoosh..."

A sharp arrow hit the city wall, and Mr. Bai pulled Zhou Zhixian to sit on the ground. The sharp arrow brushed Mr. Bai's cheek and shot it.Then I heard the rogues below the city shout loudly:
"Listen, the people in the city immediately open the city gate and hand over the grain, otherwise the moment the city is destroyed will be the moment of massacre."

More than 1000 meters away, Zhang Shu, Lin Chang, Luo Zhi and others were as pale as chaff.But Luo Qing suddenly said:

"Surround the cars in a circle!"

Luo Xin also reacted at this time, and said anxiously: "Quick, form a circle around the car."

Everyone hurriedly began to form a circle around the car. Except for the rider, the rest of the people hid in the circle surrounded by the car.And at this moment, the voice of the rogue came from afar.

"Bai Zongbing, our [-] troops will arrive soon, our king has the virtue of living, and sent me to persuade you to surrender..."

"Bah!" The Bai Zongbing on the city wall spit towards the bottom and shouted: "Tell Muguatou, if you dare to go to Yanglin County, I will take his head."

Luo Xin looked at the twenty or so people from a distance, frowned and said: "Father, they are not like ordinary rogues, they are very good at riding, and the arrow he shot just now is very good."

"They're horse thieves!" a member of the Lu family said in a deep voice.

"Horse thief?" Luo Xin was stunned for a moment, but he knew that the four servants of the Lu residence were all veterans and must know more than him, so he looked over with questioning eyes.

"That's right!" the veteran said, "In Daming, there are some people who are usually honest and responsible people, but secretly they are doing things like robbing houses. They stomp on the ground first, and then rob with their faces covered, leaving no one alive. Everyone has superb riding skills and strong martial arts. I never thought they would pull up a team to rebel this time."

Speaking of this, the veteran said with worry on his face: "We are not their opponents. They have already seen us, and after negotiating with Mr. Bai in a while, they will definitely come to kill us to establish their prestige."

The people surrounded by cars all looked desperate, Zhang Shu shouted: "Xin'er, shall we run away?"

"I can't escape!" Luo said, "Most of us don't have horses, so we can't escape those horse thieves."

"What should I do?"

"Brother Xin, let's go and charge. There are only twenty or so people on the other side. We may not be able to win." Luo Qing picked up the Guan knife with both hands, his face full of excitement.

Luo Xin nodded and said: "That's right, we have no other way now, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road!"

"Xin'er, you are a scholar, let me come!" Luo Ye jumped out from inside, and behind him, Luo Heng and Luo Sheng also jumped out.

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "Uncle, my martial arts are not as good as yours, but I am better than them."

Luo Xin pointed at the three servants in Zhang Shu's mansion, and everyone's eyes turned to those three servants.Luo Xin said to the three servants:
"You get the horses out, and then stay here to defend."

Those three servants didn't dare to talk back at all, and they knew their own skills, but seeing the skills of the twenty or so horse thieves from a distance, they panicked in their hearts, how dare they follow Luo Xin to charge and kill?
