Jiangbei female bandits
Chapter 35
Chapter 35
In the middle of the night, all kinds of snoring noises from the room next door rang out continuously. Chen Nian had been sleeping very lightly since he was ill. I'm afraid that my sister's crying will disturb these people, but I'm afraid that these people's snoring will disturb my sister.Thinking of the boy and the child, she unconsciously thought of Mu Zhanyue again. Ten years ago, was the adoptive father also like the boy who traveled around with her doll and suffered so much?
She was thinking wildly, when Lu Xiao behind her suddenly asked softly: "What are you thinking?"
Chen Nian was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "I'm thinking about my adoptive father, it's not easy for him to raise me, I should only thank him, I really shouldn't blame him."
Mu Zhanyue abandoned her like this, no matter how important the reason was, she actually had some resentment in her heart, but when she saw the boy with the girl today, she suddenly felt that she was wrong.Mu Zhanyue doesn't owe her anything, it's a great kindness to raise her, not to mention that he has asked Lu Xiao to protect her now, it can be seen that it's not that the adoptive father doesn't love her, but that she is too ignorant .
Lu Xiao turned around from behind, sat side by side with her, turned to look at her, and said, "Xie Chennian, I really think you have changed a lot."
Chen Nian couldn't help laughing, and asked him, "How have I changed?"
Lu Xiao frowned and thought for a moment: "I can't tell, but I think you are different from before. I used to think you were a little girl. Sometimes you are very cute, but sometimes you are so angry that people want to beat you up." A pause. But it’s different now. You seem to... grow up all of a sudden.” He paused, but continued, “I don’t like how you are now. You are neither sad nor happy all day long. Yes, it seems to be more breathable than those dead people."
If he talked like this in the past, Chen Nian would definitely be annoyed, but now he just listened quietly, his eyelids drooped slightly, his thick eyelashes did not move, and he seemed to have no life at all.
Lu Xiao pointed at her and said, "Yes, it's the expression you have now. I'm really upset when I see it. Xie Chennian, my father once told me a word, he said that the size of the head is the size of the sky." , don't always think that you are the most powerful in the world, solicit everything to yourself. Whether you are there or not, Wen Ruoliu will die, it's her father's fault, what does it have to do with you?"
Chen said to Lu Xiao in a young voice: "Okay, what did you mention Xiaoliu, and I didn't think of her. Besides, it doesn't matter to anyone that I am like this now. It was because I thought things were too simple before, and I liked to pretend to be smart. "
Lu Xiao gave her an angry look, walked to the other side and sat down, crossed his knees and closed his eyes to rest.Seeing him like this, Chen Nian also concentrated his mind to meditate and adjust his breath.
One night, they could smell the north wind whistling outside. When the door opened at dawn the next day, everyone realized that there was a thick layer of snow outside. It was already a vast expanse of whiteness.Lu Xiao went out for a walk, came back and said to Chen Nian, "It's windy and snowy outside, and the mountain road is very difficult to walk."
Wen Daya sincerely persuaded them to stay for another two days, saying: "If you go another hundred miles to the north, there is no place to rest. It's really difficult to stay outside on such a day, and the wind on the beam can knock you over. , you two should wait two days before leaving."
The weather suddenly became so bad, Chen Nian had no choice but to discuss it with Lu Xiao, and decided to wait here for the snow to stop.Although it was windy and snowy outside, the fire was burning inside the house, so it didn't feel so cold, but on the third day, there was no food in the village.
Wen Daya is a hospitable person, he feels that since Chen Nian and Lu Xiao are here, they are considered as distinguished guests of the village, not only can't he serve the guests with good wine and meat, but he even eats up the dry food brought by the guests , This word has to make people laugh everywhere.Taking advantage of the time when Chen Nian and Lu Xiao went out to see the road, Wen Daya gathered the brothers in the village to discuss where they could get some food.
There is a town more than 30 miles to the south, and there is also a big family in the town, but the big family has a martial artist to guard the house, and it is a high-walled compound, which is very difficult to enter.As for the other families in the town, most of them are too poor, and besides, they all belong to the folks in the village, so just go and grab them.More than a dozen old and young men were worried in a circle, all sighed, and none of them could think of a way to get rations.Wen Daya was so angry that he patted them on the head one by one, and said angrily: "Each one of them is a foodie, but he is ashamed to eat other people's bread, why did he just reach out and take it from someone's hand!"
After speaking, he stared at the big man again, and shouted: "Stupid! What are you looking at? I'm talking about you!"
The man called Shada looked at Wen Daya innocently, and reminded him: "Master Da, you eat that pancake too!"
Wen Daya was so choked by his words that he almost stumbled, and when he regained his breath, he raised his hand and slapped his head, cursing angrily: "How dare you talk back!"
Shada was very wronged, he didn't dare to say anything, and shrank back pitifully.
Everyone was worrying, but Chen Nian and Lu Xiao came back from outside.Wen Daya didn't want the two of them to know about the distress in the village, so he hurriedly waved the crowd to disperse, but he didn't want Chen Nian to realize that there was no food in the village.She does have some silver taels in her hand, which were given by He Ze when she left Qingzhou.That person was very generous. She and Lu Xiao still have a lot left after using it until now, so it's okay to share some to help these people, but it's not good to just go forward and give money like this.
Chen Nian thought for a while, then stepped forward and said to Wen Daya: "Master Wen, there is something I need to trouble you for."
Wen Daya hurriedly said: "You can order something."
Chen Nian said: "I see that the wind and snow outside are much lighter. It seems that it will stop tomorrow at most. The two of us have to go north. You also know that the north is desolate and there are few people. It’s time to start when everything is ready. It’s just that the two of us are not familiar with this place and don’t know where to buy these, so I wonder if you can send two people to help us buy them?”
As she spoke, she took out the silver taels from her bag, said what she needed, and said: "The rest should be treated to a drink for the errand brothers."
Chen Nian gave a lot of silver taels, except for the things she wanted to buy, the rest was used to buy food, which was enough for the people in this village to eat for many days.That Wen Da Ya is not stupid, after thinking about it, he realized that this was Chen Nian's kind intention to help them, he didn't want it at first, but the village was indeed at the end of its rope, he hesitated for a moment, but still took the money, said: "Xie Nvxia, we understand your kindness. I won't talk about other nonsense, Wen Daya, and wherever you need me in the future, you will do it!"
Chen Nian smiled faintly: "Master Wen is being polite." She suddenly thought of the eleven-month-old child again, and said, "Please also ask Master Wen to buy a few catties of yellow rice. I heard that if a child has no milk Eat and drink the best."
Wen Daya nodded, and immediately called a few people over, gave them money and sent them to the town to buy things, and said: "Don't rest in the town after you buy things, come back quickly."
Lu Xiao, who was silent all the time, said suddenly: "Go on the horse, or you can bring your things back."
Wen Daya and the others were overjoyed, and thanked them again and again, but Lu Xiao didn't show courtesy to them, and just went to Chen Nian.Unexpectedly, Chen Nian was also looking at him with a smile, so Lu Xiao gave her a sideways glance and said, "I see your kindness, so I'll let you be a good person to the end."
Chen Nian only smiled at him, but didn't speak.After a while, Lu Xiao whispered without thinking: "Xie Chennian, my mother said that good-hearted people will always be rewarded."
Chen Nian thought for a while, and replied in a low voice: "I hope your mother is right."
At some point, it was getting dark outside, Wen Daya and others still went back to sleep.Chen Nian lay on the bench for a long time without feeling sleepy, so he sat by the fire alone in a daze.In the middle of the night, Lu Xiao came over and sat down beside her, and asked, "Still unable to sleep?"
Chen Nian nodded slowly, and said softly: "When you close your eyes, it's the old things."
Lu Xiao frowned unknowingly, wanted to persuade her but didn't know where to start.Chen Nian guessed his thoughts, lowered his head, and said slowly: "Lu Xiao, you don't need to persuade me, I know it very well in my heart. Since I choose to survive, I want to live well, and I will get better. , but you have to give me some time."
Lu Xiao nodded when he heard the words.Chen Nian was thinking of persuading Lu Xiao to go to rest first, but suddenly he saw his body tense slightly, his whole body was like a black panther that had been awakened, silently jumped up from the ground, opened the door and fled outside.She was startled, and suddenly realized what was happening outside.
The snow outside the house did not know when it stopped, Lu Xiao quickly went back, and Chen Nian whispered: "There are 26 in front, [-] or [-] in the back, and there are also deployments on both sides. The cavalry in the army are still some distance away from here, and they are slowly outflanking here."
Chen Nian couldn't help frowning, secretly thinking that there are only a dozen bandits who are not good enough, how can there be so many cavalry to suppress them, it can be seen that these people outside are not here for Wen Daya and the others.If not for these people, then for whom?Is it for her and Lu Xiao, or the boy named Cui Xiaoer in the east room?
Lu Xiao asked her in a low voice: "What should I do? If you want to leave now, you can rush out from the east, where the number of people is the least."
Chen Nian was hesitant for a while, if they left like this, their lives would be guaranteed, I'm afraid that these people in the village would die innocently, let alone a baby less than one year old next door.She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was a little more determination in her eyes. Shen Sheng said to Lu Xiao: "I'll wake everyone up quietly, if I can save one, I guess."
After she finished speaking, she went to the west room first, found Wen Daya who was sleeping soundly, covered his mouth and nose first, and then whispered: "Master, wake up!"
Wen Daya couldn't breathe well, he woke up suddenly, opened his eyes in a daze, but saw Chen Nian's face right in front of him, he was terrified, and heard Chen Nian whispering: "Don't make any noise, Mr. It seems that many officers and soldiers have come outside, I don’t know why.”
Seeing that Wen Daya's eyes became clear, she let go of her hand and said in a low voice: "Wake everyone up quickly, but don't make any noise, don't teach anyone to be on guard."
Wen Daya has been the head of the family for these years anyway, so he still understands this. Although he doesn't understand why the officers and soldiers suddenly came outside, he still gets up and wakes up his comrades one by one.Chen Nian entered the house of the young man surnamed Cui lightly again, and was about to call him, but saw that he had sat up suddenly from the kang, hugged the girl beside him into his arms, and was on guard. Said: "Who?"
"It's me." Chen Nian hurriedly said in a low voice, "A lot of cavalry have come outside and have surrounded the village. Don't run around for a while and take care of your sister." After speaking, he turned and left the house.
In such a short time, more than a dozen bandits had gathered in the main room, but most of them were still a little confused, if it wasn't for fear of making noise, Wen Daya would have liked to step forward and kick one of them.Seeing Chen Nian's return, Wen Daya hastily greeted him, and asked in a low voice: "Why are there officers and soldiers here?"
Chen Nian shook his head: "I don't know."
Wen Daya was very puzzled, and said: "It stands to reason that the limelight should have passed by long ago, why are these officers and soldiers still here?"
Chen Nian ignored his soliloquy, and just asked: "Is there a secret passage leading to the outside in the village?"
Wen Daya cried and shook his head: "No, our village is so poor that no one would want to give it away for nothing, let alone any enemy who would come to seek revenge, so there is no use for those things."
Just as he was talking, Cui Xiaoer came over with his sister in his arms, and whispered to Chen Nian: "This heroine, can you take a few steps to talk?"
Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, and led him to Lu Xiao at the window. The boy looked down at the sleeping child in his arms, and suddenly stuffed the child into Chen Nian's arms, and said in a low voice: " You two are kind-hearted people, I beg you two to take my sister out of the Taihang Mountains and find a better place to send her to, so that she can survive."
After he finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Nian and Lu Xiao, then got up and went out.Chen Nian wanted to pull him, but it was difficult to reach out because of the child in his arms, but Lu Xiao grabbed the boy and asked, "What are you doing?"
The boy lowered his head and replied: "Those people outside are here to look for me. If I go out, everyone will be fine."
Chen Nian frowned unconsciously when he heard the words, looked him in the eyes by the light of the fire, and asked him in a low voice: "Who are you?"
The boy lowered his head slightly and pursed his lips without answering.Chen Nian put the child into his arms again, and said lightly: "I can't just take this child away in a daze, who knows if she will bring us a fatal disaster."
"No! She won't!" The young man said anxiously, he looked up at Chen Nian, his eyes were full of pleading, "She won't bring you any trouble, they only want to arrest me, no one will care she."
The people sent by Wen Daya to check the situation have also returned, saying that there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside, and they are all light cavalry, and they are about to surround the village.Wen Daya felt a little anxious, seeing that Chen Nian and the others hadn't finished talking, he couldn't help shouting: "You two heroes, what should we do?"
Among these people, Lu Xiao and Chen Nian had the highest martial arts skills, and they were the first to discover the officers and soldiers coming from outside. Wen Daya and others had faintly regarded them as the backbone.Seeing the officers and soldiers approaching, everyone took their swords and looked at the two of them, waiting to hear their arrangements.
Chen Nian glanced at the young man in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't want to say anything, I won't make things difficult for you, but even if you go out and arrest them without a fight, the people outside may not be able to let the people in this room go." She finished speaking Then he ignored the young man, walked to Wen Daya with Lu Xiao, glanced at the dozen or so people, and then turned to look at Lu Xiao.
Knowing what she meant, Lu Xiao replied, "I can take these people out, but I can't guarantee how many people will get out alive in the end."
Chen Nian and Wen Daya said: "Looking at the current situation, the officers and soldiers are clearly prepared, if we go out separately, we will only let them defeat each other, why not get together and advance together, maybe we can fight a way out. "
Wen Daya was most afraid that the two of them would run away regardless of the others, but now that he heard that they were willing to advance and retreat with people like himself, he was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."
Others in the village also echoed in low voices, the idiot even waved his arms, and shouted loudly: "I——" Before he could finish shouting "I", Wen Daya kicked him. In the past, he lowered his voice and shouted: "Call your mother, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers don't know that we are on guard, right?"
The idiot froze immediately and shrank into the crowd.
Chen Nian pondered for a while, and discussed with Lu Xiao: "I have heard that fighting cavalry is the most taboo to run away in the open field. No matter how two legs can run, you can't run with four legs. Instead of leading everyone with their heads covered and letting them chop It’s better to hide in this village first.”
Lu Xiao nodded and said, "That's right."
Chen Nian said again: "There must be a leader among these people. To capture a thief, first capture the king. It is more useful to catch him than to kill ten of his pawns."
At that moment, she briefly instructed Wen Daya and the others how to behave later, and Lu Xiao added a few words aside, and everyone left the main room and hurriedly hid in other hidden places.Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, then said to the young man surnamed Cui who was still standing blankly in front of the window: "If you want to fight for a chance of life, then drag those officers and soldiers in this room for a while."
"Okay!" The boy handed the child to Chen Nian without saying a word, "I just ask the heroine to take her."
Chen Nian was a little hesitant. It is said that Lu Xiao's martial arts is the highest, and this child is the safest with Lu Xiao.But Lu Xiao will go to catch the leader of the officers and soldiers in a while. Not only is it inconvenient to move around with this child, but if the child starts crying again, his whereabouts may be leaked.Chen Nian wanted to harden his heart and coax the young man to take the child by himself first, but when he saw the child's face flushed in sleep, he finally couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth, and said to the young man: "You tie her on my back superior!"
Seeing that she agreed, the boy hurriedly used the big cloak Chen Nian gave him to tie the child to Chen Nian's back.Chen Nian looked back at the sleeping child, and said softly, "Good boy, sleep well and don't cry."
Lu Xiao was still waiting for her at the door, seeing her coming out with the child on his back, he just glanced at her, didn't speak, and pointed to Wen Daya's hiding place to signal her to hide.Wen Daya also called her in a low voice: "Woman Xia, come this way!"
Chen Nian shook her head, she was carrying the child on her back, she would wake up crying at some point, being with everyone would only drag them down.She took a look around, then ran to a dilapidated house opposite, and dodged to hide in it.
Seeing that she was hiding well, Lu Xiao nodded to her lightly, and said: "You wait a moment, I will go out and remove those people on the periphery secretly, and I can leave later." Jumping and hooking the eaves of the house, the tall body flexibly twisted two or three times, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Only then did Chen Nian retract his gaze, lowered his body and carefully looked outside.
At this time, the officers and soldiers outside had arrived in front of the village, and the dilapidated wooden gate of the village was smashed through from the outside, and more than twenty riders stepped through the gate of the village, slowly pressing towards the inside of the village.Then one of them shouted coldly: "Yang Yi! Don't hide, come out quickly!"
There was a moment of silence in the main room, and the door was opened from the inside. The young man who said his surname was Cui stood alone at the door, raised his head and looked calmly at the people on the horse: "I will go with you, but you have to let go." other people who have been here."
The general who spoke just now sneered twice, and said, "Young master, you can't protect yourself now, what qualifications do you have to make conditions with us?"
With the help of the snow light, Chen Nian recognized that the uniforms of the officers and soldiers were still those of the former Qingzhou cavalry, and hearing that the young man's surname was Yang, he vaguely guessed the identity of the young man.If there is no accident, this young man should be a descendant of Yang Cheng.But at that time Xue Shengying led troops into Qingzhou, the first bloodbath was the Qingzhou city guard's mansion, and Yang Cheng's family was slaughtered, I don't know who this young man is, how could he escape with his sister?
Seeing Yang Yi pointing at the general, he said angrily: "Huang Tan! My father treats you well. It's fine if you betray your trust and abandon the Lord. Why do you want to kill my Yang family?"
The general named Huang Tan said: "Young master, since ancient times, you have been kings and losers. Your Yang family has fallen, and you really can't blame others. Besides, we people are just begging for food under the hands of others, and everything is wrong. You can't be the master. Don't blame us anymore."
As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates: "Go and get the young master on the horse, and kill the rest, don't leave anyone alive."
Yang Yi heard that Huang Tan was going to kill all the people in the village, and said angrily: "Huang Tan! If you dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately, even if I die here, I won't let you go back!"
Huang Tan sneered and said: "Although General Xue said that it is best for you to go back alive, but if you die, I don't think he will blame us."
The cavalry lit the torches, as if they were going to set fire to the village.Some people even raised their bows and arrows with a smile, obviously preparing to shoot and kill people who were forced out of the house by the fire after a while.Wen Daya and the others were hiding in a hidden place close to the wall of the village at this time, and they couldn't help being afraid for a while when they saw this, secretly thinking that everyone came out early, otherwise if they were blocked in the room like this, they would either be roasted into suckling pigs, or To be shot into a hedgehog by these officers and soldiers!
At this moment, a baby crying suddenly came from a room on the east side, Wen Daya and the others gasped involuntarily, Huang Tan was startled for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that the child actually It’s really a fate to be alive.”
As he spoke, he took the torch from the soldiers around him, raised his hand and threw it at the window of the dilapidated house.
Yang Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed towards Huang Tan on the horse without hesitation, hissing and scolding: "Huang Tan, you are not as good as a beast!" But he only ran two steps forward before being stopped by other cavalry , Several people rode their horses and surrounded him, but they didn't kill him, they just played with him like a monkey with long knives in their hands.
Huang Tan laughed out loud, just thinking it was funny, suddenly a figure rushed out of the burning house and shouted loudly: "Do it!"
When Wen Daya and the others heard Chen Nian's order, they all came out of their hiding place with a loud shout and waved their knives. They got Lu Xiao's explanation in advance, and they didn't want to confront these cavalry head-on, but just lowered their bodies and got under the horses. Rolling around, some slashed the horse directly with a knife, and some found ropes from nowhere, and entangled the horse's legs in one place indiscriminately.
In the confusion, Chen Nian rushed towards the side of Huang Tan's horse, when he got close to him, he suddenly got short, and rolled towards his horse while sticking to the ground.
Huang Tan was startled, he swung his knife and slashed at Chen Nian, but unfortunately he was a step too late, the blade only touched a corner of Chen Nian's clothes, but made her hide under his horse.
All the soldiers also shot crossbows one after another, but because they were concerned about Huang Tan's mount, most of those crossbows only fell on the ground, and they couldn't pose a threat to Chen Nian who was under the horse for a while.Huang Tan was furious in his heart, he was very good at equestrianism, he pressed his body to the side of the horse, the man was already hanging on the side of the saddle, he swung his knife and slashed at Chen Nian.
Chen Nian protected the child in his arms with his left hand, blocked his knife with his right hand, took advantage of the momentum and turned back, and the child rolled out from under his horse.Huang Tan did not let go of the chase, and even let go of the stirrup, and as she rolled over under the horse's belly, when the knife was about to fall on Chen Nian, a scimitar suddenly crossed from the stabbing, blocking his attack. one knife.
Lu Xiao didn't know when he came back from the outside, he dodged in front of Chen Nian, and slashed at Huang Tan like a knife, and said in a cold voice: "It's a big man, bullying a woman is nothing!"
Back then, Lu Xiao could even fight against a top expert like Qiao Lao with his sturdy sword skills, not to mention that this is just the yellow altar of an ordinary general in the army.Lu Xiao's saber skills are not too fancy, just slashing horizontally and vertically, and the speed is extremely fast. Huang Tan had to lift the knife to carry it hard. After more than a dozen moves, Huang Tan's arm was already shaken by him. numb.Lu Xiao seemed to be tireless, and he attacked with one knife at a time. Huang Tan could not save him with one move, and Lu Xiao's blade was already in front of his neck.
The accident happened too suddenly, even that clever personal soldier came to catch Chen Nian, but before he could restrain her, Lu Xiao yelled coldly: "Stop it all! Otherwise, I will kill him!"
When all the officers and soldiers saw that the yellow altar fell into his hands, they dared not move again.Huang Tan knelt there on one knee, with Lu Xiao's scimitar lying across his neck, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know which way you two are friends, and what relationship do you have with Yang Cheng? ?”
Chen Nian first untied the crying child in his arms and handed it back to Yang Yi, and then answered Huang Tan in a cold voice: "We have nothing to do with Yang Cheng, if you weren't too aggressive, you would have killed us all." , we will not make such a head."
Huang Tan's thoughts moved, and he hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, it is all a misunderstanding. As long as we want this pair of brothers and sisters, we will take them and leave immediately. We will never dare to disturb you heroes again."
As soon as he said this, Yang Yi immediately looked at Chen Nian, although his face was still calm, his eyes couldn't hide the nervousness.
How could Chen Nian allow him to be fooled? Hearing this, he sneered and said, "It's too late." Everyone has fought with these officers and soldiers, and each has suffered casualties.
Seeing that the good words were unsuccessful, Huang Tan darkened his face again, and threatened in a cold voice: "Girl, your village has been surrounded by us right now, and there are all our people outside. Don't tell me you are going to kill yourself?"
Chen Nian and Lu Xiao looked at each other, both thought that this matter was a little difficult, although the yellow altar was detained now, as long as these officers and soldiers were released, they would definitely come back for revenge.When the two of them leave, the dozen or so people in the village will not be able to resist these regular cavalry.But if these dozen or so people are allowed to abandon the village and leave, where can they go now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow?
Lu Xiao raised his head and scanned the cavalry around, his eyes became more murderous, and he ordered them in a cold voice, "Dismount first!"
Those cavalrymen were not all fools. Seeing Lu Xiao's fierce face, even if he got off his horse honestly, it might not be good. Instead of letting others slaughter him, it would be better to risk his fortune.Huang Tan's deputy looked around at the few companions who had been friends with him on weekdays, and after exchanging glances, they suddenly attacked at the same time, and drove forward to slash at Yang Yi with a knife.
Fortunately, Yang Yi reacted very quickly, and rolled on the ground with his sister in his arms, dodging the knife that came to his head.The silly man next to him went up to protect Yang Yi's brother and sister without even thinking about it, and resisted the knife swung from the horse with the big blunt knife in his hand. Kicked over and cursed in a rough voice: "Get out of your mother!"
He was born with supernatural power, he kicked the war horse until it neighed, and fell to the side with his master on his back.
The scene was chaotic for a moment, Huang Tan suddenly panicked, he didn't expect his subordinates to be so disregarding his own life, he was afraid that the couple in front of him would kill him in anger, so he didn't dare to move around, he just stretched his neck and yelled at his subordinates Said: "Stop, all stop!"
But I didn't want another soldier to shout suddenly: "Brothers, Master Huang died in the line of duty, we will fight this group of bandits! As long as you kill Yang Yi and go back, General Xue will definitely reward you!"
Huang Tan was still about to struggle, but Lu Xiao sneered, and ended his life with a knife. With a flash of his figure, he had already killed the nearest officer and soldier.
Chen Nian brought Wen Daya and others to kill him, only among them, except for Wen Daya and that silly few who knew some superficial kung fu, the rest of them were simply slashing with knives. There is no method, and it cannot be compared with these trained cavalry.Thanks to the small area in the village, it was impossible for these cavalry to gallop back and forth to hack and kill, thus saving the lives of everyone in the village for a while.
In order to prevent Yang Yi from escaping, Huang Tan arranged a lot of people outside before entering the village.These people surrounded the stronghold tightly. Except for some people on the outer edge of the east side who were killed by Lu Xiao without anyone noticing, there were still people guarding the other directions.Now I heard fierce shouts of killing coming from the village, and someone shouted that Huang Tan was dead, and the cavalry left outside hurried over to rescue him.The clever little officer commanded his men to climb up the wall of the village, intending to shoot and kill everyone in the village with bows and arrows.
Chen Nian couldn't use his left arm, so his kung fu was compromised. Although Lu Xiao's martial arts were high, he had to ensure Chen Nian's safety first, and then rescue other people in the village.As a result, the situation is suddenly very critical.Lu Xiao swung his knife and cut down a cavalryman on the horse, snatched the bow and arrow hanging from the horse's side, dodged to block Chen Nian from behind, and shot the arrow at the man on the wall.He moved extremely fast and shot accurately. As soon as the arrow flew away, there were screams of shock and screams wherever he went. He shot and killed all the officers and soldiers on the wall in a short time.
Lu Xiao turned his head and said to Chen Nian: "There are too many officers and soldiers, we can't kill them all at once, we still have to grab the horse and rush out."
Chen Nian unconsciously looked at Yang Yi, who was not far away. He was holding the child in one hand and holding a sword in one hand. He was forced to struggle by the officers and soldiers. If it wasn't for the stupid guard beside him, he would have already lost his head.She hesitated for a while, but still said to Lu Xiao: "Let's save that child, let's go!"
"Okay." Lu Xiao responded, holding Chen Nian with one hand and swinging a knife with the other, protecting her and rushing towards Yang Yi.
Yang Yi has reached the limit by now, his body has been cut in several places, and his clothes are covered with blood. He was almost desperate, but when he saw Chen Nian and the others coming, his face was surprised and happy, and he didn't care about the side The blade who cut it over only handed over the crying child in his arms, and shouted: "Take my sister away!"
Lu Xiao brushed aside the cutting blade, while Chen Nian took the child into his arms and shouted loudly, "Tell everyone to follow us!"
Lu Xiao guarded Chen Nian behind him, and immediately rushed outside the stockade to kill him.Seeing how ferocious he was, those officers and soldiers unknowingly avoided him, but when they saw Yang Yi behind him, they were emboldened by the high bounty and chased after him.
Seeing these officers and soldiers biting the crowd, Yang Yi stopped in a cruel heart, and the silly boy who followed him was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he was frightened, so he stretched out his hand to pull him, and shouted: "Silly! you?"
However, Yang Yi shook off his arm, turned around and swung his sword, and rushed up to the pursuer without hesitation, shouting frantically: "I will fight with you!" Fighting, it also allowed him to calm down those ruthless officers and soldiers for a while.Silly wanted to turn around to help him, but Yang Yi yelled at him sharply: "Go! Follow them!"
His face was covered with blood, and his originally handsome face was now ferocious. He slashed at the officers and soldiers desperately with his sword, while turning his head and screaming for everyone to leave.Chen Nian turned her head when she heard his voice, and wanted to turn around to save him, but the current situation did not allow her to go back to save others.
The gate of the village is right in front of you, and there are not many officers and soldiers blocking the way outside. Lu Xiao killed a few who rushed towards him, took a horse and gave it to Chen Nian, and said anxiously: "Be careful of stabbing people in the back, get on the horse after you go out You take them and go first, I will block those chasing soldiers, and I will chase you when I turn back." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, but Chen Nian grabbed him, took a deep look at him, and ordered in a hoarse voice Said: "Be careful!"
"Yeah!" Lu Xiao grinned at her, then raised his breath and let out a long roar, turned around and charged back.
(End of this chapter)
In the middle of the night, all kinds of snoring noises from the room next door rang out continuously. Chen Nian had been sleeping very lightly since he was ill. I'm afraid that my sister's crying will disturb these people, but I'm afraid that these people's snoring will disturb my sister.Thinking of the boy and the child, she unconsciously thought of Mu Zhanyue again. Ten years ago, was the adoptive father also like the boy who traveled around with her doll and suffered so much?
She was thinking wildly, when Lu Xiao behind her suddenly asked softly: "What are you thinking?"
Chen Nian was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "I'm thinking about my adoptive father, it's not easy for him to raise me, I should only thank him, I really shouldn't blame him."
Mu Zhanyue abandoned her like this, no matter how important the reason was, she actually had some resentment in her heart, but when she saw the boy with the girl today, she suddenly felt that she was wrong.Mu Zhanyue doesn't owe her anything, it's a great kindness to raise her, not to mention that he has asked Lu Xiao to protect her now, it can be seen that it's not that the adoptive father doesn't love her, but that she is too ignorant .
Lu Xiao turned around from behind, sat side by side with her, turned to look at her, and said, "Xie Chennian, I really think you have changed a lot."
Chen Nian couldn't help laughing, and asked him, "How have I changed?"
Lu Xiao frowned and thought for a moment: "I can't tell, but I think you are different from before. I used to think you were a little girl. Sometimes you are very cute, but sometimes you are so angry that people want to beat you up." A pause. But it’s different now. You seem to... grow up all of a sudden.” He paused, but continued, “I don’t like how you are now. You are neither sad nor happy all day long. Yes, it seems to be more breathable than those dead people."
If he talked like this in the past, Chen Nian would definitely be annoyed, but now he just listened quietly, his eyelids drooped slightly, his thick eyelashes did not move, and he seemed to have no life at all.
Lu Xiao pointed at her and said, "Yes, it's the expression you have now. I'm really upset when I see it. Xie Chennian, my father once told me a word, he said that the size of the head is the size of the sky." , don't always think that you are the most powerful in the world, solicit everything to yourself. Whether you are there or not, Wen Ruoliu will die, it's her father's fault, what does it have to do with you?"
Chen said to Lu Xiao in a young voice: "Okay, what did you mention Xiaoliu, and I didn't think of her. Besides, it doesn't matter to anyone that I am like this now. It was because I thought things were too simple before, and I liked to pretend to be smart. "
Lu Xiao gave her an angry look, walked to the other side and sat down, crossed his knees and closed his eyes to rest.Seeing him like this, Chen Nian also concentrated his mind to meditate and adjust his breath.
One night, they could smell the north wind whistling outside. When the door opened at dawn the next day, everyone realized that there was a thick layer of snow outside. It was already a vast expanse of whiteness.Lu Xiao went out for a walk, came back and said to Chen Nian, "It's windy and snowy outside, and the mountain road is very difficult to walk."
Wen Daya sincerely persuaded them to stay for another two days, saying: "If you go another hundred miles to the north, there is no place to rest. It's really difficult to stay outside on such a day, and the wind on the beam can knock you over. , you two should wait two days before leaving."
The weather suddenly became so bad, Chen Nian had no choice but to discuss it with Lu Xiao, and decided to wait here for the snow to stop.Although it was windy and snowy outside, the fire was burning inside the house, so it didn't feel so cold, but on the third day, there was no food in the village.
Wen Daya is a hospitable person, he feels that since Chen Nian and Lu Xiao are here, they are considered as distinguished guests of the village, not only can't he serve the guests with good wine and meat, but he even eats up the dry food brought by the guests , This word has to make people laugh everywhere.Taking advantage of the time when Chen Nian and Lu Xiao went out to see the road, Wen Daya gathered the brothers in the village to discuss where they could get some food.
There is a town more than 30 miles to the south, and there is also a big family in the town, but the big family has a martial artist to guard the house, and it is a high-walled compound, which is very difficult to enter.As for the other families in the town, most of them are too poor, and besides, they all belong to the folks in the village, so just go and grab them.More than a dozen old and young men were worried in a circle, all sighed, and none of them could think of a way to get rations.Wen Daya was so angry that he patted them on the head one by one, and said angrily: "Each one of them is a foodie, but he is ashamed to eat other people's bread, why did he just reach out and take it from someone's hand!"
After speaking, he stared at the big man again, and shouted: "Stupid! What are you looking at? I'm talking about you!"
The man called Shada looked at Wen Daya innocently, and reminded him: "Master Da, you eat that pancake too!"
Wen Daya was so choked by his words that he almost stumbled, and when he regained his breath, he raised his hand and slapped his head, cursing angrily: "How dare you talk back!"
Shada was very wronged, he didn't dare to say anything, and shrank back pitifully.
Everyone was worrying, but Chen Nian and Lu Xiao came back from outside.Wen Daya didn't want the two of them to know about the distress in the village, so he hurriedly waved the crowd to disperse, but he didn't want Chen Nian to realize that there was no food in the village.She does have some silver taels in her hand, which were given by He Ze when she left Qingzhou.That person was very generous. She and Lu Xiao still have a lot left after using it until now, so it's okay to share some to help these people, but it's not good to just go forward and give money like this.
Chen Nian thought for a while, then stepped forward and said to Wen Daya: "Master Wen, there is something I need to trouble you for."
Wen Daya hurriedly said: "You can order something."
Chen Nian said: "I see that the wind and snow outside are much lighter. It seems that it will stop tomorrow at most. The two of us have to go north. You also know that the north is desolate and there are few people. It’s time to start when everything is ready. It’s just that the two of us are not familiar with this place and don’t know where to buy these, so I wonder if you can send two people to help us buy them?”
As she spoke, she took out the silver taels from her bag, said what she needed, and said: "The rest should be treated to a drink for the errand brothers."
Chen Nian gave a lot of silver taels, except for the things she wanted to buy, the rest was used to buy food, which was enough for the people in this village to eat for many days.That Wen Da Ya is not stupid, after thinking about it, he realized that this was Chen Nian's kind intention to help them, he didn't want it at first, but the village was indeed at the end of its rope, he hesitated for a moment, but still took the money, said: "Xie Nvxia, we understand your kindness. I won't talk about other nonsense, Wen Daya, and wherever you need me in the future, you will do it!"
Chen Nian smiled faintly: "Master Wen is being polite." She suddenly thought of the eleven-month-old child again, and said, "Please also ask Master Wen to buy a few catties of yellow rice. I heard that if a child has no milk Eat and drink the best."
Wen Daya nodded, and immediately called a few people over, gave them money and sent them to the town to buy things, and said: "Don't rest in the town after you buy things, come back quickly."
Lu Xiao, who was silent all the time, said suddenly: "Go on the horse, or you can bring your things back."
Wen Daya and the others were overjoyed, and thanked them again and again, but Lu Xiao didn't show courtesy to them, and just went to Chen Nian.Unexpectedly, Chen Nian was also looking at him with a smile, so Lu Xiao gave her a sideways glance and said, "I see your kindness, so I'll let you be a good person to the end."
Chen Nian only smiled at him, but didn't speak.After a while, Lu Xiao whispered without thinking: "Xie Chennian, my mother said that good-hearted people will always be rewarded."
Chen Nian thought for a while, and replied in a low voice: "I hope your mother is right."
At some point, it was getting dark outside, Wen Daya and others still went back to sleep.Chen Nian lay on the bench for a long time without feeling sleepy, so he sat by the fire alone in a daze.In the middle of the night, Lu Xiao came over and sat down beside her, and asked, "Still unable to sleep?"
Chen Nian nodded slowly, and said softly: "When you close your eyes, it's the old things."
Lu Xiao frowned unknowingly, wanted to persuade her but didn't know where to start.Chen Nian guessed his thoughts, lowered his head, and said slowly: "Lu Xiao, you don't need to persuade me, I know it very well in my heart. Since I choose to survive, I want to live well, and I will get better. , but you have to give me some time."
Lu Xiao nodded when he heard the words.Chen Nian was thinking of persuading Lu Xiao to go to rest first, but suddenly he saw his body tense slightly, his whole body was like a black panther that had been awakened, silently jumped up from the ground, opened the door and fled outside.She was startled, and suddenly realized what was happening outside.
The snow outside the house did not know when it stopped, Lu Xiao quickly went back, and Chen Nian whispered: "There are 26 in front, [-] or [-] in the back, and there are also deployments on both sides. The cavalry in the army are still some distance away from here, and they are slowly outflanking here."
Chen Nian couldn't help frowning, secretly thinking that there are only a dozen bandits who are not good enough, how can there be so many cavalry to suppress them, it can be seen that these people outside are not here for Wen Daya and the others.If not for these people, then for whom?Is it for her and Lu Xiao, or the boy named Cui Xiaoer in the east room?
Lu Xiao asked her in a low voice: "What should I do? If you want to leave now, you can rush out from the east, where the number of people is the least."
Chen Nian was hesitant for a while, if they left like this, their lives would be guaranteed, I'm afraid that these people in the village would die innocently, let alone a baby less than one year old next door.She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was a little more determination in her eyes. Shen Sheng said to Lu Xiao: "I'll wake everyone up quietly, if I can save one, I guess."
After she finished speaking, she went to the west room first, found Wen Daya who was sleeping soundly, covered his mouth and nose first, and then whispered: "Master, wake up!"
Wen Daya couldn't breathe well, he woke up suddenly, opened his eyes in a daze, but saw Chen Nian's face right in front of him, he was terrified, and heard Chen Nian whispering: "Don't make any noise, Mr. It seems that many officers and soldiers have come outside, I don’t know why.”
Seeing that Wen Daya's eyes became clear, she let go of her hand and said in a low voice: "Wake everyone up quickly, but don't make any noise, don't teach anyone to be on guard."
Wen Daya has been the head of the family for these years anyway, so he still understands this. Although he doesn't understand why the officers and soldiers suddenly came outside, he still gets up and wakes up his comrades one by one.Chen Nian entered the house of the young man surnamed Cui lightly again, and was about to call him, but saw that he had sat up suddenly from the kang, hugged the girl beside him into his arms, and was on guard. Said: "Who?"
"It's me." Chen Nian hurriedly said in a low voice, "A lot of cavalry have come outside and have surrounded the village. Don't run around for a while and take care of your sister." After speaking, he turned and left the house.
In such a short time, more than a dozen bandits had gathered in the main room, but most of them were still a little confused, if it wasn't for fear of making noise, Wen Daya would have liked to step forward and kick one of them.Seeing Chen Nian's return, Wen Daya hastily greeted him, and asked in a low voice: "Why are there officers and soldiers here?"
Chen Nian shook his head: "I don't know."
Wen Daya was very puzzled, and said: "It stands to reason that the limelight should have passed by long ago, why are these officers and soldiers still here?"
Chen Nian ignored his soliloquy, and just asked: "Is there a secret passage leading to the outside in the village?"
Wen Daya cried and shook his head: "No, our village is so poor that no one would want to give it away for nothing, let alone any enemy who would come to seek revenge, so there is no use for those things."
Just as he was talking, Cui Xiaoer came over with his sister in his arms, and whispered to Chen Nian: "This heroine, can you take a few steps to talk?"
Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, and led him to Lu Xiao at the window. The boy looked down at the sleeping child in his arms, and suddenly stuffed the child into Chen Nian's arms, and said in a low voice: " You two are kind-hearted people, I beg you two to take my sister out of the Taihang Mountains and find a better place to send her to, so that she can survive."
After he finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Nian and Lu Xiao, then got up and went out.Chen Nian wanted to pull him, but it was difficult to reach out because of the child in his arms, but Lu Xiao grabbed the boy and asked, "What are you doing?"
The boy lowered his head and replied: "Those people outside are here to look for me. If I go out, everyone will be fine."
Chen Nian frowned unconsciously when he heard the words, looked him in the eyes by the light of the fire, and asked him in a low voice: "Who are you?"
The boy lowered his head slightly and pursed his lips without answering.Chen Nian put the child into his arms again, and said lightly: "I can't just take this child away in a daze, who knows if she will bring us a fatal disaster."
"No! She won't!" The young man said anxiously, he looked up at Chen Nian, his eyes were full of pleading, "She won't bring you any trouble, they only want to arrest me, no one will care she."
The people sent by Wen Daya to check the situation have also returned, saying that there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside, and they are all light cavalry, and they are about to surround the village.Wen Daya felt a little anxious, seeing that Chen Nian and the others hadn't finished talking, he couldn't help shouting: "You two heroes, what should we do?"
Among these people, Lu Xiao and Chen Nian had the highest martial arts skills, and they were the first to discover the officers and soldiers coming from outside. Wen Daya and others had faintly regarded them as the backbone.Seeing the officers and soldiers approaching, everyone took their swords and looked at the two of them, waiting to hear their arrangements.
Chen Nian glanced at the young man in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't want to say anything, I won't make things difficult for you, but even if you go out and arrest them without a fight, the people outside may not be able to let the people in this room go." She finished speaking Then he ignored the young man, walked to Wen Daya with Lu Xiao, glanced at the dozen or so people, and then turned to look at Lu Xiao.
Knowing what she meant, Lu Xiao replied, "I can take these people out, but I can't guarantee how many people will get out alive in the end."
Chen Nian and Wen Daya said: "Looking at the current situation, the officers and soldiers are clearly prepared, if we go out separately, we will only let them defeat each other, why not get together and advance together, maybe we can fight a way out. "
Wen Daya was most afraid that the two of them would run away regardless of the others, but now that he heard that they were willing to advance and retreat with people like himself, he was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."
Others in the village also echoed in low voices, the idiot even waved his arms, and shouted loudly: "I——" Before he could finish shouting "I", Wen Daya kicked him. In the past, he lowered his voice and shouted: "Call your mother, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers don't know that we are on guard, right?"
The idiot froze immediately and shrank into the crowd.
Chen Nian pondered for a while, and discussed with Lu Xiao: "I have heard that fighting cavalry is the most taboo to run away in the open field. No matter how two legs can run, you can't run with four legs. Instead of leading everyone with their heads covered and letting them chop It’s better to hide in this village first.”
Lu Xiao nodded and said, "That's right."
Chen Nian said again: "There must be a leader among these people. To capture a thief, first capture the king. It is more useful to catch him than to kill ten of his pawns."
At that moment, she briefly instructed Wen Daya and the others how to behave later, and Lu Xiao added a few words aside, and everyone left the main room and hurriedly hid in other hidden places.Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, then said to the young man surnamed Cui who was still standing blankly in front of the window: "If you want to fight for a chance of life, then drag those officers and soldiers in this room for a while."
"Okay!" The boy handed the child to Chen Nian without saying a word, "I just ask the heroine to take her."
Chen Nian was a little hesitant. It is said that Lu Xiao's martial arts is the highest, and this child is the safest with Lu Xiao.But Lu Xiao will go to catch the leader of the officers and soldiers in a while. Not only is it inconvenient to move around with this child, but if the child starts crying again, his whereabouts may be leaked.Chen Nian wanted to harden his heart and coax the young man to take the child by himself first, but when he saw the child's face flushed in sleep, he finally couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth, and said to the young man: "You tie her on my back superior!"
Seeing that she agreed, the boy hurriedly used the big cloak Chen Nian gave him to tie the child to Chen Nian's back.Chen Nian looked back at the sleeping child, and said softly, "Good boy, sleep well and don't cry."
Lu Xiao was still waiting for her at the door, seeing her coming out with the child on his back, he just glanced at her, didn't speak, and pointed to Wen Daya's hiding place to signal her to hide.Wen Daya also called her in a low voice: "Woman Xia, come this way!"
Chen Nian shook her head, she was carrying the child on her back, she would wake up crying at some point, being with everyone would only drag them down.She took a look around, then ran to a dilapidated house opposite, and dodged to hide in it.
Seeing that she was hiding well, Lu Xiao nodded to her lightly, and said: "You wait a moment, I will go out and remove those people on the periphery secretly, and I can leave later." Jumping and hooking the eaves of the house, the tall body flexibly twisted two or three times, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Only then did Chen Nian retract his gaze, lowered his body and carefully looked outside.
At this time, the officers and soldiers outside had arrived in front of the village, and the dilapidated wooden gate of the village was smashed through from the outside, and more than twenty riders stepped through the gate of the village, slowly pressing towards the inside of the village.Then one of them shouted coldly: "Yang Yi! Don't hide, come out quickly!"
There was a moment of silence in the main room, and the door was opened from the inside. The young man who said his surname was Cui stood alone at the door, raised his head and looked calmly at the people on the horse: "I will go with you, but you have to let go." other people who have been here."
The general who spoke just now sneered twice, and said, "Young master, you can't protect yourself now, what qualifications do you have to make conditions with us?"
With the help of the snow light, Chen Nian recognized that the uniforms of the officers and soldiers were still those of the former Qingzhou cavalry, and hearing that the young man's surname was Yang, he vaguely guessed the identity of the young man.If there is no accident, this young man should be a descendant of Yang Cheng.But at that time Xue Shengying led troops into Qingzhou, the first bloodbath was the Qingzhou city guard's mansion, and Yang Cheng's family was slaughtered, I don't know who this young man is, how could he escape with his sister?
Seeing Yang Yi pointing at the general, he said angrily: "Huang Tan! My father treats you well. It's fine if you betray your trust and abandon the Lord. Why do you want to kill my Yang family?"
The general named Huang Tan said: "Young master, since ancient times, you have been kings and losers. Your Yang family has fallen, and you really can't blame others. Besides, we people are just begging for food under the hands of others, and everything is wrong. You can't be the master. Don't blame us anymore."
As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates: "Go and get the young master on the horse, and kill the rest, don't leave anyone alive."
Yang Yi heard that Huang Tan was going to kill all the people in the village, and said angrily: "Huang Tan! If you dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately, even if I die here, I won't let you go back!"
Huang Tan sneered and said: "Although General Xue said that it is best for you to go back alive, but if you die, I don't think he will blame us."
The cavalry lit the torches, as if they were going to set fire to the village.Some people even raised their bows and arrows with a smile, obviously preparing to shoot and kill people who were forced out of the house by the fire after a while.Wen Daya and the others were hiding in a hidden place close to the wall of the village at this time, and they couldn't help being afraid for a while when they saw this, secretly thinking that everyone came out early, otherwise if they were blocked in the room like this, they would either be roasted into suckling pigs, or To be shot into a hedgehog by these officers and soldiers!
At this moment, a baby crying suddenly came from a room on the east side, Wen Daya and the others gasped involuntarily, Huang Tan was startled for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that the child actually It’s really a fate to be alive.”
As he spoke, he took the torch from the soldiers around him, raised his hand and threw it at the window of the dilapidated house.
Yang Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed towards Huang Tan on the horse without hesitation, hissing and scolding: "Huang Tan, you are not as good as a beast!" But he only ran two steps forward before being stopped by other cavalry , Several people rode their horses and surrounded him, but they didn't kill him, they just played with him like a monkey with long knives in their hands.
Huang Tan laughed out loud, just thinking it was funny, suddenly a figure rushed out of the burning house and shouted loudly: "Do it!"
When Wen Daya and the others heard Chen Nian's order, they all came out of their hiding place with a loud shout and waved their knives. They got Lu Xiao's explanation in advance, and they didn't want to confront these cavalry head-on, but just lowered their bodies and got under the horses. Rolling around, some slashed the horse directly with a knife, and some found ropes from nowhere, and entangled the horse's legs in one place indiscriminately.
In the confusion, Chen Nian rushed towards the side of Huang Tan's horse, when he got close to him, he suddenly got short, and rolled towards his horse while sticking to the ground.
Huang Tan was startled, he swung his knife and slashed at Chen Nian, but unfortunately he was a step too late, the blade only touched a corner of Chen Nian's clothes, but made her hide under his horse.
All the soldiers also shot crossbows one after another, but because they were concerned about Huang Tan's mount, most of those crossbows only fell on the ground, and they couldn't pose a threat to Chen Nian who was under the horse for a while.Huang Tan was furious in his heart, he was very good at equestrianism, he pressed his body to the side of the horse, the man was already hanging on the side of the saddle, he swung his knife and slashed at Chen Nian.
Chen Nian protected the child in his arms with his left hand, blocked his knife with his right hand, took advantage of the momentum and turned back, and the child rolled out from under his horse.Huang Tan did not let go of the chase, and even let go of the stirrup, and as she rolled over under the horse's belly, when the knife was about to fall on Chen Nian, a scimitar suddenly crossed from the stabbing, blocking his attack. one knife.
Lu Xiao didn't know when he came back from the outside, he dodged in front of Chen Nian, and slashed at Huang Tan like a knife, and said in a cold voice: "It's a big man, bullying a woman is nothing!"
Back then, Lu Xiao could even fight against a top expert like Qiao Lao with his sturdy sword skills, not to mention that this is just the yellow altar of an ordinary general in the army.Lu Xiao's saber skills are not too fancy, just slashing horizontally and vertically, and the speed is extremely fast. Huang Tan had to lift the knife to carry it hard. After more than a dozen moves, Huang Tan's arm was already shaken by him. numb.Lu Xiao seemed to be tireless, and he attacked with one knife at a time. Huang Tan could not save him with one move, and Lu Xiao's blade was already in front of his neck.
The accident happened too suddenly, even that clever personal soldier came to catch Chen Nian, but before he could restrain her, Lu Xiao yelled coldly: "Stop it all! Otherwise, I will kill him!"
When all the officers and soldiers saw that the yellow altar fell into his hands, they dared not move again.Huang Tan knelt there on one knee, with Lu Xiao's scimitar lying across his neck, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know which way you two are friends, and what relationship do you have with Yang Cheng? ?”
Chen Nian first untied the crying child in his arms and handed it back to Yang Yi, and then answered Huang Tan in a cold voice: "We have nothing to do with Yang Cheng, if you weren't too aggressive, you would have killed us all." , we will not make such a head."
Huang Tan's thoughts moved, and he hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, it is all a misunderstanding. As long as we want this pair of brothers and sisters, we will take them and leave immediately. We will never dare to disturb you heroes again."
As soon as he said this, Yang Yi immediately looked at Chen Nian, although his face was still calm, his eyes couldn't hide the nervousness.
How could Chen Nian allow him to be fooled? Hearing this, he sneered and said, "It's too late." Everyone has fought with these officers and soldiers, and each has suffered casualties.
Seeing that the good words were unsuccessful, Huang Tan darkened his face again, and threatened in a cold voice: "Girl, your village has been surrounded by us right now, and there are all our people outside. Don't tell me you are going to kill yourself?"
Chen Nian and Lu Xiao looked at each other, both thought that this matter was a little difficult, although the yellow altar was detained now, as long as these officers and soldiers were released, they would definitely come back for revenge.When the two of them leave, the dozen or so people in the village will not be able to resist these regular cavalry.But if these dozen or so people are allowed to abandon the village and leave, where can they go now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow?
Lu Xiao raised his head and scanned the cavalry around, his eyes became more murderous, and he ordered them in a cold voice, "Dismount first!"
Those cavalrymen were not all fools. Seeing Lu Xiao's fierce face, even if he got off his horse honestly, it might not be good. Instead of letting others slaughter him, it would be better to risk his fortune.Huang Tan's deputy looked around at the few companions who had been friends with him on weekdays, and after exchanging glances, they suddenly attacked at the same time, and drove forward to slash at Yang Yi with a knife.
Fortunately, Yang Yi reacted very quickly, and rolled on the ground with his sister in his arms, dodging the knife that came to his head.The silly man next to him went up to protect Yang Yi's brother and sister without even thinking about it, and resisted the knife swung from the horse with the big blunt knife in his hand. Kicked over and cursed in a rough voice: "Get out of your mother!"
He was born with supernatural power, he kicked the war horse until it neighed, and fell to the side with his master on his back.
The scene was chaotic for a moment, Huang Tan suddenly panicked, he didn't expect his subordinates to be so disregarding his own life, he was afraid that the couple in front of him would kill him in anger, so he didn't dare to move around, he just stretched his neck and yelled at his subordinates Said: "Stop, all stop!"
But I didn't want another soldier to shout suddenly: "Brothers, Master Huang died in the line of duty, we will fight this group of bandits! As long as you kill Yang Yi and go back, General Xue will definitely reward you!"
Huang Tan was still about to struggle, but Lu Xiao sneered, and ended his life with a knife. With a flash of his figure, he had already killed the nearest officer and soldier.
Chen Nian brought Wen Daya and others to kill him, only among them, except for Wen Daya and that silly few who knew some superficial kung fu, the rest of them were simply slashing with knives. There is no method, and it cannot be compared with these trained cavalry.Thanks to the small area in the village, it was impossible for these cavalry to gallop back and forth to hack and kill, thus saving the lives of everyone in the village for a while.
In order to prevent Yang Yi from escaping, Huang Tan arranged a lot of people outside before entering the village.These people surrounded the stronghold tightly. Except for some people on the outer edge of the east side who were killed by Lu Xiao without anyone noticing, there were still people guarding the other directions.Now I heard fierce shouts of killing coming from the village, and someone shouted that Huang Tan was dead, and the cavalry left outside hurried over to rescue him.The clever little officer commanded his men to climb up the wall of the village, intending to shoot and kill everyone in the village with bows and arrows.
Chen Nian couldn't use his left arm, so his kung fu was compromised. Although Lu Xiao's martial arts were high, he had to ensure Chen Nian's safety first, and then rescue other people in the village.As a result, the situation is suddenly very critical.Lu Xiao swung his knife and cut down a cavalryman on the horse, snatched the bow and arrow hanging from the horse's side, dodged to block Chen Nian from behind, and shot the arrow at the man on the wall.He moved extremely fast and shot accurately. As soon as the arrow flew away, there were screams of shock and screams wherever he went. He shot and killed all the officers and soldiers on the wall in a short time.
Lu Xiao turned his head and said to Chen Nian: "There are too many officers and soldiers, we can't kill them all at once, we still have to grab the horse and rush out."
Chen Nian unconsciously looked at Yang Yi, who was not far away. He was holding the child in one hand and holding a sword in one hand. He was forced to struggle by the officers and soldiers. If it wasn't for the stupid guard beside him, he would have already lost his head.She hesitated for a while, but still said to Lu Xiao: "Let's save that child, let's go!"
"Okay." Lu Xiao responded, holding Chen Nian with one hand and swinging a knife with the other, protecting her and rushing towards Yang Yi.
Yang Yi has reached the limit by now, his body has been cut in several places, and his clothes are covered with blood. He was almost desperate, but when he saw Chen Nian and the others coming, his face was surprised and happy, and he didn't care about the side The blade who cut it over only handed over the crying child in his arms, and shouted: "Take my sister away!"
Lu Xiao brushed aside the cutting blade, while Chen Nian took the child into his arms and shouted loudly, "Tell everyone to follow us!"
Lu Xiao guarded Chen Nian behind him, and immediately rushed outside the stockade to kill him.Seeing how ferocious he was, those officers and soldiers unknowingly avoided him, but when they saw Yang Yi behind him, they were emboldened by the high bounty and chased after him.
Seeing these officers and soldiers biting the crowd, Yang Yi stopped in a cruel heart, and the silly boy who followed him was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he was frightened, so he stretched out his hand to pull him, and shouted: "Silly! you?"
However, Yang Yi shook off his arm, turned around and swung his sword, and rushed up to the pursuer without hesitation, shouting frantically: "I will fight with you!" Fighting, it also allowed him to calm down those ruthless officers and soldiers for a while.Silly wanted to turn around to help him, but Yang Yi yelled at him sharply: "Go! Follow them!"
His face was covered with blood, and his originally handsome face was now ferocious. He slashed at the officers and soldiers desperately with his sword, while turning his head and screaming for everyone to leave.Chen Nian turned her head when she heard his voice, and wanted to turn around to save him, but the current situation did not allow her to go back to save others.
The gate of the village is right in front of you, and there are not many officers and soldiers blocking the way outside. Lu Xiao killed a few who rushed towards him, took a horse and gave it to Chen Nian, and said anxiously: "Be careful of stabbing people in the back, get on the horse after you go out You take them and go first, I will block those chasing soldiers, and I will chase you when I turn back." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, but Chen Nian grabbed him, took a deep look at him, and ordered in a hoarse voice Said: "Be careful!"
"Yeah!" Lu Xiao grinned at her, then raised his breath and let out a long roar, turned around and charged back.
