The west gate is the only exit from Luo City at this time. The Southwest Army deployed outside the gate is waiting with wide eyes. The Marquis has said that no one can be let go. No matter who it is, anyone who comes out from this gate will be killed.

Compared with the Southwest Army, which was waiting in full formation, Chen Shan, who was deploying, closed his eyes and said nothing. He personally brought out the soldiers and horses this time. He only needed to give the order and he could know the result without even looking.

Cries and shouts came from the city. The Southwest Army did not waver in the slightest. They only needed to carry out the order of the Marquis.

"Master Hou, we have something to say!"

Chen Shan did not move, and the crossbowman's eyes were always on the range in front of him.

No matter what you say, these people will die.

The crowd surged, and people could faintly see people holding torches coming this way. The person at the front held a rice vat in his hand to protect himself, and slowly approached. A wild dog rushed out among the surging crowd.

Arrows rained down densely, and he instantly became a hedgehog.

Can't...can't go any further.

The procession of civilians stopped.

Several common people headed by him pushed each other, and finally one man stood up holding a rice vat and took a step forward.

"Bang -" The rice jar shattered on the ground. What else could he care about at this time? The man grabbed the remaining pottery fragments in his hand and shouted loudly: "Murder! It's murder!"

"Whoosh whoosh!" The rain of arrows fell, and there was no question at all. The people who came forward were already frightened. At this time, they didn't even bother to run out. They ran towards the crowd crazily, but they shouted loudly: "General Zhong

He was murdered, we all saw it!"

What they passed were rows of swaying crossbows. The crossbowmen did not stop. They only knew: all living creatures within the range must be shot! This order will not end until...

"Wait!" The voice was not loud, but the crossbowmen stopped instinctively.

Unless the Marquis orders it, now, the Marquis has given the order.

…

Compared to the people who were trembling to the west gate and the Huns who were gathering troops to break out, there were only a few people in the city.

Three figures appeared in a warehouse in the city.

The tall and thin man looked at her in confusion: "Great Heavenly Master, are you sure you want these fireworks?"

Wei Yaoqing nodded and looked around: "There are not many houses around, which is good!"

The man chuckled and said, "After all, you have to be careful about fireworks and firecrackers." He is a local fireworks and firecrackers vendor in Luo City, and almost all the fireworks and firecrackers in Luo City come from his shop.

"That's good for you." Wei Yaoqing smiled and took out the banknote from her arms and handed it over, "I bought this warehouse."

No one has trouble with money. The man said thank you and happily took it away. When he left, he couldn't help but asked: "Great Master, why did you buy so many fireworks?"

"There's nothing I can do." The girl pointed at the young man behind her and said, "He likes to watch fireworks. What can I do?"

In fact, he remembered that when someone threw gunpowder before, this person threw a firework in, and was scolded by the Huns. It turned out that he liked watching fireworks! He sighed twice, and was a little envious: "

Great Heavenly Master, you dote on him too much..."

If you want to watch fireworks, buy the fireworks from the next warehouse and set them off for fun? He somehow thought of what the storyteller in the city said about "playing with the princes with beacon fire". If the Great Celestial Master is a man, if he continues to be so pampered, there is no guarantee that he will not

Do something like this.

But... he took a look at the man's appearance and thought to himself: This appearance really has that kind of quality, no wonder the Great Heavenly Master favors him so much.

After sighing that he no longer had the ability to rely on his face to earn a living, he turned and left.

After the man left, the girl entered the warehouse and soon came out with several bundles of fireworks.

Pei Zongzhi leaned over and looked at her curiously: "Are these really good? Can they fly higher and brighter than the one I have?"

The girl took apart a few and poured them out, looked at them for a while, and said, "Try it! This place is not far from Linlu Pass and my Dachu Army Camp. Maybe I will be too busy to panic or I will be full and have nothing to do."

Are you looking around with clairvoyance? As long as someone sees it, they might find out that Chen Shan has come to Luo City."

Pei Zongzhi hummed and asked again: "Do you want Fei Ge to pass on the letter?"

The movement of the girl's hand paused for a moment, and she looked at the tongues of flames running around the city gate. After thinking for a while, she said: "Forget it! The fire is so big, I'm afraid that flying pigeons will pass the message and they won't come in. Roast squab is better."

It’s done…”

…

…

"Why is it said to be murder?" The huge catapult hit the west city gate several times larger, making the exit wider and wider. At the same time, rows of closely arranged crossbowmen also appeared in everyone's sight.

The Southwest Army came out to fill the fire at the top of the city with yellow sand, and Chen Shan, who was arranging all this, had already walked in.

The people looked at him in a daze.

It turns out that this is Chen Shan! Older people know that this man was once a famous war god in Dachu. He overcame the rebellion and made great military exploits. He was also a hero talked about by storytellers and diners in teahouses and restaurants. But being a hero

It is not easy, and it is even more difficult to be a hero for a lifetime. The hero who was once regarded by everyone has become a traitor who is fighting for power and profit. Of course, this traitor is unstoppable and has conquered half of the country of Chu.

I imagined that a person with such fierce attacks should have an equally ferocious look, but I didn't expect that when I saw this person with my own eyes, instead of being as rough as a warrior, he was somewhat elegant, and his voice when he spoke was even gentler. Such a person, walking on the street

, no one would have thought that he would be a murderous person who ordered the massacre of the city. But this is the fact. They saw with their own eyes that if the Great Heavenly Master had not pointed out a way for them to survive, they would have almost died in the fire of Luo City.

middle.

People are not judged by their appearance, and good and evil are never written on people's faces. Just like the Xiongnu Chanyu before, he was handsome and good-looking, smiling all day long, but how many lives were in his hands?

"We all saw it, under clear sky and white sun, those Huns chased General Zhong and killed him..."

The Great Heavenly Master said to tell everything you see, don't be afraid! It is true that Chen Shan came to Luocheng to massacre the city, but the truth of the matter is more important than massacre! Especially the death of the southwestern general named Zhong is particularly important.

A large group of the Southwest Army entered the city, and the people holding torches pointed at them, and people kept popping up.

"I live in the second house over there..." In order to show the authenticity of what he said, the citizen who spoke took off the key from his waist, opened the door of his house on the spot, and took out the house deed. "That day in the southwest

The army has reached the city gate and is about to leave the city, but the Huns are coming."

"There were many Huns ambushing outside. The Chanyu who could speak Chinese ran over and asked General Zhong to stay. The place where they were talking was right in front of my house. We didn't dare to come out because we saw it through the windows." The people said.

Pointing to a similar location, "Right here, they talked for a while..."

Chen Shan closed his eyes. With the number of people in the two groups and the way the Southwest Army marched, this position was indeed almost at the end of the group. This statement was credible.

"Those Huns secretly drew their swords while talking..."

"Yes, I saw this too." Several people jumped out and pointed to their homes, "They turned their backs to General Zhong and the others, and secretly pulled out their knives. At that time, we were almost scared to death, and we used tables to block them.

Door, afraid they would break in..."

The reaction of ordinary people is so unsurprising, they are afraid.

Chen Shandao: "Keep talking!"

"Later, I don't know who made the first move, and we didn't see it. Anyway, they started fighting. It was a chaotic time..."

"The Southwest Army did not go through this gate, but went to the east gate..."

"The Chanyu who can speak Chinese said something in Xiongnu dialect, but we couldn't understand it. We only saw their men chasing General Zhong and killing him..."

"Are you just chasing him to kill him alone?" Chen Shan asked.

Although the people's answers were messy, many nodded.

"We didn't realize it at first. The Southwest Army fought fiercely with the Huns, and many people died..."

"Later I found something strange. Those people seemed to be chasing General Zhong alone. Almost all the others were fought by the Southwest Army on their own initiative..."

"General Protector...this is what they should do." Chen Shan said, "It was so chaotic at the time, how can you be sure that the Huns did not attack other Southwest troops?"

"Because General Zhong asked the deputy general to take the people away quickly and not to waste their lives. Later, the remaining Southwest Army went to the east gate. The Huns really did not stop them. General Zhong was outnumbered and killed many people by himself.

Huns……"

Chen Shan suddenly said: "That's natural. My son is so brave and good at fighting that no one else can match him!"

A large number of common people followed the Southwest Army and had almost reached the city center before they knew it. Several common people stood up at this time.

"I live here."

"My family lives two rooms over there."

"My family lives across the street."

…

They all live near here.

"Right here," the people said, "those Huns surrounded General Zhong and was hacking him alone. He was covered in blood. I saw that there was some mechanism on his arm, and a short arrow flew out, wiping

When the Xiongnu Chanyu arrived over there, his face was scratched by arrows."

"My son is the enemy of thousands of people in the army. Even if he is trapped here, he will never surrender!" Chen Shan's tone was a little proud but more regretful.

The people were stunned for a moment: He was right, the Southwest Army was indeed very brave, but such a brave Southwest Army never protected them for a day. They were brave and fought for their rights. If the Huns had not betrayed their trust, Chen Shan would not have come tonight.

!

"The Chanyu was very angry. He took a bow and arrow and shot General Zhong." The people gestured, "At that time, he was standing at about the same place and did it. General Zhong died on the spot."

"That's right." Several people nodded in agreement, "After General Zhong died, the Chanyu also took the mechanism tied to General Zhong's hand, saying it was very interesting, and then they took the people

gone back."
