Chapter 129: Trap
The county magistrate walked home tremblingly. He thought about it for a long time and finally made up his mind.
I can't stay here any longer. If I stay any longer, I will definitely become the food of two monsters. The only way to survive now is to go to Qianqiu Village. The two monsters are very afraid of Qianqiu Village. Maybe I can protect myself by going there.
life.
But the price is that you will lose everything, your official position, your family property, your wives and concubines, and you can't take anything with you. At most, you can take some gold, silver and soft goods so that you can survive.
At night, the county magistrate and his concubines had a good time. The concubines felt that the magistrate was very interested today, and they were still secretly happy. They were thinking about asking for rewards tomorrow and asking him for some money to buy jewelry.
Little did he know that the county magistrate had already abandoned them all in his heart.
He actually has no interest. He just thinks that he may not be able to enjoy women for a long time in the future. He wants to have a good time before leaving. When he leaves, none of his family members will probably end well, but he doesn't care about many things now.
One last moment of tenderness, and we'll never see each other again.
In the middle of the night, while his concubines were sleeping, the county magistrate secretly took out the prepared baggage, left the house, mounted a fast horse, and ran out of the city in a hurry. His only gain today was that he learned to ride a horse, which allowed him to escape.
Faster.
Naturally, the defenders of Qingcheng would not stop him, which allowed him to leave smoothly. He had a hunch that he would escape to Qianqiu Village smoothly.
The feeling of riding a galloping horse was that of unfettered freedom. This feeling made him extremely excited. He didn't even realize that he was laughing now. He was laughing so happily and so disgustingly.
At the same time, there was another pair of eyes looking at him, watching his back, and watching him leave.
The autumn wind blew with a coolness, and it was the season of killing. General Zhao stood on the city wall, looking at the county magistrate going away, his face expressionless, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. The county magistrate in his eyes was like a
A pile of dead bones.
"As expected..."
The stupid county magistrate was completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap.
Qianqiu Village is relatively peaceful tonight. Except for the tinkling sound of knocking in the blacksmith shop in the village, other houses are relatively quiet.
Tang Jiu and Qingqiu regained everyone's acceptance. Although Tang Jiu exposed the fact that he was not a mortal, everyone did not look at him with a strange eye. Maybe it was because they had always believed in the Mountain Goddess, so they had no regard for Xuanmen.
He has an extraordinary ability to accept things.
From the beginning of the divine ban to the present, the gods have not appeared, and loyal believers like them are rare. In other words, they can accept this kind of thing relatively easily.
Although everyone was very curious about the Xian family's methods, they did not ask Tang Jiu too much because Tang Jiu said that Qingqiu had autism and everyone was afraid of scaring the little girl, so they endured their curiosity and didn't ask anything.
Although the battle in the morning ended hastily, everyone's weapons were destroyed. From this point of view, the village suffered heavy losses. Everyone got up very early in the morning because of the torment, so they slept very well tonight.
Early in the morning, only the blacksmith was repairing everyone's weapons overnight, and the two guards at the entrance of the village were still awake.
This time the officials came so quickly that no one could say when the soldiers would come next time. What’s even more frightening is that the soldiers who came next time might not be human beings.
Qianqiu Village and the Mountain Temple were not targeted by the government, but by the imperial court and the demons behind the imperial court. The people in the village were panicked when they found out about this. If Tang Jiu hadn't said: The demons will be dealt with by the Mountain Goddess.
, the people in the village must be too panicked to sleep today.
Now they sleep peacefully, because the Mountain Goddess is blessing them, so they are not afraid of anything.
Of course, if they knew that their respected Mountain Goddess was sleeping like a pig, they might not be able to fall asleep as peacefully as now.
I was so sleepy that I didn't sleep at all last night. Uncle Meng and his wife were the same, and so were Tang Jiu and Qingqiu.
I hope nothing messy will happen tomorrow and let everyone rest peacefully.
…
"Clang clang clang clang!"
"Clang clang clang clang!"
"Everyone, get up! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Okay, rest peacefully, don't even think about it, it's the middle of the night, the rooster hasn't crowed yet, and everyone is woken up by the sound of the gong again.
"Why are they here again? It takes more than two hours to get here from Qingcheng. Aren't they tired?"
"Quick, go to the blacksmith shop and get a knife."
"Fight with them, I really can't stand them anymore!"
Everyone angrily went to the blacksmith shop to get knives. Because of time constraints, the blacksmith uncle could not repair many knives, so everyone went home to get farm tools, hoes, shovels, sickles, etc.
The four people at Uncle Meng's house had also been woken up. This time Tang Jiu didn't have to avoid anything and went to the entrance of the village with everyone, while Qingqiu followed quietly.
Because Tang Jiu had already gone to Uncle Meng and the others, Qingqiu couldn't find anyone to complain to, so she could only hold her anger in her stomach.
"I swear, if there are demons here, I will destroy them to the last dregs!"
Regardless of whether he was exposed or not, Qingqiu was in urgent need of venting.
When everyone gathered at the entrance of the village to prepare for the battle, they found that there was no enemy, only a man riding a horse with something on his shoulders. Because it was dark, everyone could not see clearly who was riding the horse.
The men on horseback gradually approached, and the figures in the darkness put a lot of pressure on them. Everyone clenched their weapons, ready to fight to the death at any time.
"Don't be nervous, it's me, it's me, the magistrate of Qingcheng County."
The man on horseback spoke, and judging from his voice, it was indeed the county magistrate who came yesterday morning.
Tang Jiu released a ball of fire in his hand and threw it towards the man on the horse. The man was frightened by the fire and became panicked. He lost his balance and fell off the horse.
The fire stayed at the position it was near him.
Obviously, the fire was just for illumination and not intended to attack him.
The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that those people would attack him without asking the reason. This meant that they were not willing to listen to his explanation. And the fact that they did not attack him directly meant that there was still room for relaxation between them.
The weak firelight illuminated it a little, allowing everyone to see clearly who was coming. He was indeed the county magistrate.
"Guan Gu, you came here alone? Why are you here again?"
The county magistrate did not dare to get angry after being scolded, so he could only stand up calmly and dust himself off.
He didn't show any urgency. Although he was asking for help, he couldn't let them feel that he was desperate, lest these unscrupulous people ask him for exorbitant prices. He didn't bring much silver this time. At most, he gave them a small part and the rest.
You still have to keep your own life.
"I'm here to help you, so please help me too."
