The king behind the empress

Chapter 262 Occupying the Ancestral Hall
Chapter 260 Four

Huya claims that in the human realm, those who fall in it must die, and Yuan Maojie is naturally well aware of the power of this big killer.

At this moment, he couldn't even think about why the only three arrows in Nanzhou County appeared here. Looking at the crossbow arrows so close at hand, his heart was instantly overshadowed by the shadow of death.

Normally, he would naturally dodge the arrow when he saw the arrow being launched, but now Liu Hong waited for him to explode his true energy, and then asked the people from the East Factory Guard to block his sight with his body, and waited for him to find out that it was the arrow. At that time, the true qi in his body had just entered the stage of exhaustion, and the crossbow arrows had already reached his eyes.

"what!!!"

Yuan Maojie, who knew that he was in a certain death situation, was unwilling to close his eyes and wait for death. He let out a loud shout, and he forcefully circulated the true energy in his body regardless of the consequences. As the true energy flowed in his body, some fragile meridians in his body could not bear it. Under such a huge pressure, clouds of blood mist suddenly burst out, directly staining his clothes red.

But Yuan Maojie didn't have time to pay attention to it at all. With his full energy, he felt that he was stronger than ever at this time, even if he blocked the arrow, it was not impossible.

With this in mind, Yuan Maojie raised his sword and slashed fiercely at the crossbow arrow in front of him. The sword that condensed his whole body's skill, with a sound of thunder, precisely hit the arrow body of the crossbow arrow.

"Crack~"

The sword intersected with the crossbow arrow, and there was a sudden explosion. The crossbow arrow was directly cut in half by his sword. Dongchangwei was shot into a cloud of blood without any resistance.

However, before Yuan Maojie could be happy, there was a crisp sound just as he split the saber of the crossbow. Cracked into pieces.

Looking at the shattered saber, Yuan Maojie hadn't had time to react at all, and the remaining two crossbow arrows pierced through his body viciously.

Two crossbow arrows the size of an egg hit Yuan Maojie at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right. Under the force of the two arrows in different directions, Yuan Maojie couldn't even scream, and was torn into two halves, and the sky was filled with blood mist drift.

Seeing Yuan Maojie's body split in half, Liu Hong felt relieved. If Yuan Maojie couldn't be killed by another arrow shot, they would have to continue filling in the dead body.

A Dongchang guard checked the corpses of his companions, and after confirming that none of them were alive, he came over and reported to Liu Hong: "Duke, nine of our people died."

"They're all good."

Liu Hong's expression was a little depressed. The siege plan he made did not hide them at all, but they did not have the slightest fear, including the Dongchang guards who blocked Yuan Maojie's sight with their bodies. The possible end, but he did not hesitate at all, and still rushed up to block in front of Yuan Maojie.

"Our family has already left a suicide note, asking for credit for you, no matter whether our family can survive this time, the prince will not treat you badly."

Looking at the corpse of Dongchangwei on the ground, Liu Hong's eyes were slightly moist, "As for those who have died in battle, if our family is lucky enough to survive, we will do our best to support your family members outside the palace for the rest of our lives."

"Our family swears that as long as our family is here, your family members will be able to live comfortably."

"Thank you, Duchess."

Hearing Liu Hong's words, all the Dongchang guards showed joy in their eyes, and saluted Liu Hong.

"Okay, let's go to work."

Liu Hong glanced around, then nodded slightly and said: "When things are done, we will start to deploy defenses centering on this courtyard."

"Here."

After Dongchangwei responded, they began to work in an orderly manner. As for those people who were still in Yuan's ancestral hall, they did not choose to kill them, but gathered them all in one room as hostages. Not useful, but better than nothing.

After they all dispersed, Shi Zhipei came over, bowed to the eunuchs who died in the Dongchangwei battle, and made a big gift, but said nothing.

It's not that he doesn't want to make any promises, but that even if he survives, he will probably be dismissed from office, so it's uncertain whether he can support his family in the future, and he is said to help Liu Hong support the families of those who died in battle .

It's just that Liu Hong and the others don't care about these things. The hearts of all Dongchang guards who saw Shi Zhipei bowing and saluting trembled slightly. Since they entered the palace, they have seen the most emotions when facing normal people. It is discrimination.

Now that Shi Zhipei, a member of the imperial court, actually gave such a big gift to the Dongchang Guard who died in battle, it immediately made them feel like they were human again, and they all glanced at Shi Zhipei with grateful eyes for a while.

Shi Zhipei didn't know that his simple salute had gained so many hearts. In his opinion, these Dongchang guards died entirely because of him, so saluting to them, isn't that what he should do?So he didn't know that Dongchangwei's attitude towards him had changed.

Liu Hong on the side could see clearly. He looked at Shi Zhipei, who knew nothing, with a gratified smile on his gloomy face. Shi Zhipei regarded them as human beings, and they would naturally protect him with their lives.

This is what Liu Hong would like to see. In his opinion, it would be a pity if a good official like Shi Zhipei died in Nanjun. If he could survive, they would all die in Nanjun. It's worth it too.

The area of ​​this ancestral hall is not very large. It didn't take long for Dongchangwei to pour the fire oil over the entire ancestral hall. As long as there is a spark, the entire ancestral hall of the Yuan family will be turned into a sea of ​​flames.

After using up the fire oil, the remaining Dongchang Guards set up the arrows, and then looked for their positions with bows and crossbows. They quickly arranged the courtyard where the ancestral hall is located into a small fortress. If you want to attack by force, you won't be able to break through their blockade for a while.

During this period, Qi Xiu also came back once with someone. He sent a few coffins, and then took Taoist Yuheng away, and hid in the county town, waiting for an opportunity to leave the city.

After such a long time, Yuan Lianghan, the head of the Yuan family, finally got the news.

"The ancestral hall was taken over by people led by Shi Zhipei?"

Because the place of the ancestral grave is relatively remote, Yuan Lianghan didn't know that the ancestral grave had also been dug, but just hearing the news was enough to make Yuan Lianghan suddenly furious, and immediately ignored his plan, and led people straight to the ancestral hall. .

The ancestral hall can be said to be the most important place for their Yuan family. It not only contains the ranking of their Yuan family's ancestors, but also the complete family tree of his Yuan family. If there is a problem with the ancestral hall, then he, the patriarch, will Don't even think about it.
