In the afternoon, the setting sun gradually set over the western mountains.
In the inn, Liu Xia listened in detail about the situation of bandits here, which was really surprising.
Wu Jiajun has been here for many years and has a very good understanding of the situation here. When he talks about it, it makes people feel full of resentment.
Wu Jiajun's wife was tortured to death by bandits.
His son organized troops with him to exterminate the bandits, but was killed by the bandits.[
Speaking of this, Wu Jiajun burst into tears.
As the saying goes, if a man sheds tears, it's just not to the point of being sad.
After hearing what happened to him, I couldn't help but look at this man with admiration.
"Master Wu, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will completely eliminate the banditry here."
After Liu Xia heard this, he took a deep breath and said.
"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for this day in my dreams as long as I live in this world. If Your Majesty really has this intention, I am willing to work hard for you even if I die."
Wu Jiajun immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said.
At this moment, Liu Xia looked back at Caiwei.
The little girl silently nodded towards Liu Xia. Liu Xia hurriedly helped him up and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I say. Otherwise, I will be sorry for your desire to serve the country."
Liu Xia looked at Caiwei and asked if there was anything wrong with Caiwei.
After all, there are many people who can act these days.
Don't pay attention if you don't.
After all, he was captured alive by bandits and is still alive today. It is difficult to determine whether he colluded with the bandits.
However, Caiwei can read minds. If Caiwei doesn't see the problem, then there is no problem.
This person can use it with confidence.
What's more important is that he has a blood feud and is much more reliable than other officials.
"Your Majesty, someone was sneaking around in front of the gate just now. Do you want to catch him?"
Liu Liansheng said with his fists clasped.
"No, let that person go back and report the news. If they are really targeting me, they will definitely take action tonight. The eradication of this group of bandits will start this year. I am curious, who is so brave." [
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
"My lord, these bandits are very ferocious. They usually come out in groups. I'm afraid you can't do it with your skills. Why don't you go out of the city first to avoid their attacks?"
Wu Jiajun reminded hurriedly.
"Don't worry, I said it's okay, and it's okay."
Liu Xia reassured.
Then, everyone started to prepare, and before they knew it, it was night.
Liu Xia stood on the watchtower of the inn, looking at only sporadic smoke rising from the city, and only a few lights inside the city, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Move a table and place it outside the gate of the inn. I want to go down and have tea."
Liu Xia turned around and said.
At that moment, his men rushed to do it.
After a while, Liu Xia sat down at the table outside the inn to drink tea and chat with Wu Jiajun.
Wu Jiajun was absent-minded, knowing that there would be no peace tonight, and worried about Liu Xia's safety, so he socialized there.
Unknowingly, the moon had already risen above the branches, and in the huge Qiu County town, there was silence, the surroundings were dark again, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Liu Xia glanced to the southeast and said: "Our guests are here, tell brothers, be prepared."
"promise!"
Liu Liansheng clasped his fists and said. Immediately, all the imperial guards were ready.
A moment later, there was a series of panicked footsteps, rushing towards the inn from all directions.
Judging from the sound of footsteps, there seemed to be more than two hundred people on the other side.
Wu Jiajun was extremely nervous. Although it was already October weather, there was a line of fine sweat on his forehead.
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, the sound of a color breaking through the sky came instantly.
Liu Xia stretched out his hand and grabbed a feather arrow in his hand.[
The arrowhead of the arrow flashed with a black halo, obviously smeared with poison.
"Haha, our friends are here."
After saying this, Liu Xia stood up, and Tianquan appeared in his hand, and disappeared in a flash.
Suddenly, there was a burst of fighting sounds from all around the inn.
A group of robbers wearing various clothes and their faces covered with black cloth, Mr. Du.
However, before they entered the inn, they were intercepted by the Imperial Forest Army ambushing around the inn.
The cultivation level of these bandits is very average, the better ones are no more than a martial artist, and the worse ones are incomparable.
There are so many people, it’s just a bluff.
As for Liu Xia's imperial guards, most of them are around the master level. After all, they are there to protect the emperor. If you don't have real skills, the emperor won't dare to use you, right?
Although Liu Xia only had less than sixty men, his combat power was several times that of his opponent, and his equipment was much better than that of the other party.
When they met, there were corpses lying on the ground.
Liu Xia was standing on the observation deck at the moment, listening to the screams all around, but his eyes were fixed on a man in black on the eaves in the distance.
The man in black was obviously the leader of the group and did not charge with them.
Like Liu Xia, he hides in the dark and observes the enemy's situation.
At this moment, the man in black was a little dumbfounded. His brothers fell down as soon as they appeared.
Although there were many people, they were being crushed by others, which made me feel a little panicked.
"Puhu, the wind is tight."
At that moment, the man in black shouted and turned around to leave.
However, Liu Xia obviously had no intention of giving him this opportunity.
In an instant, Liu Xia's figure flashed and soared into the sky.
The leader suddenly felt a murderous aura behind him. As soon as he turned around, he saw a bloody sword aura coming towards him.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the whole person was directly hit by the sword energy. A mouthful of blood spurted out, smashing more than ten houses, and fell into the distance.
Liu Xia jumped up and landed beside him, picked him up and walked towards the inn.
The battle at this moment is coming to an end.
Except for those who escaped, the ground around the inn was covered with corpses and blood. It was very sad under the pale moonlight.
Liu Xia threw the leader to the ground, pulled off the veil from his face, turned around and asked, "Do you know this person?"
"I know, I know. He is the second leader of the Black Dragon Village on the mountain. His name is Wu Danian."
Wu Jiajun said.
"Boy, if you know what I'm doing, let me go. Otherwise, my elder brother will lead people to crush your Qiu County."
Wu Danian immediately said angrily, but he was seriously injured and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Haha, that's right. I am looking forward to it very much. Liu Liansheng."
"The end will be here."
At this moment, Liu Liansheng came over.
"After decapitating those corpses, they hung them on the city wall of Qiu County. As for this person, Paolao is waiting on him. I am really curious about how powerful his brother is."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
"As commanded. Brothers, follow me."
At that moment, the imperial guards dragged the corpses towards the city wall.
There were traces of blood left on the street, which was particularly hideous.
The city wall in Qiu County is very dilapidated. The only section is the east gate wall, which is still intact.
Liu Xia followed everyone to the city wall, then returned and asked: "Master Wu, if the bandits come, where will they enter the city from?"
"Your Majesty, they usually come through the east gate. As you can see, you can actually come in from there too. However, the east gate is closest to the official road, so they should take the official road."
Wu Jiajun knew that Liu Xia had really lit the fuse at this moment.
Killing these bandits will inevitably trigger a counterattack from Black Dragon Village. Tonight's battle has just begun.
There are more than 3,000 people in Black Dragon Village, which is a sizable team in Yuntian Ridge.
If they don't retaliate against those who kill them with such cruel methods, then they are not bandits.
"You dare to take the official route. It's really extraordinary. Are you ready?"
Liu Xia turned around and asked.
The so-called cauldron is to tie a person to a red-hot copper pillar and burn the person alive.
This is an extremely cruel method.
That's what Liu Xia wanted to do. If he didn't anger those bandits, how could they come?
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Liansheng hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, we couldn't find the torture cannon, but we found this one."
When Liu Xia turned around, he saw a door panel made of steel.
I don’t know which shop door panel it was removed from.
It's a poor place, so let's make do with it.
"Tie it up, light a bonfire, and make it brighter for me so that the sneaky people around me can see clearly."
Liu Xia said.
"yes."
At that moment, everyone started busy on the battlements.
In a matter of moments, the only section of the city wall in Dongcheng that could still be stood on was lit by a bonfire, and finally there was a glimmer of light in the dark Qiu County at night.
Wu Jiajun was dumbfounded.
There are only sixty people in Liu Xia. If he were an ordinary person, he would know that the other party wanted to retaliate at this moment and it would be too late to leave.
As for the uncle, he was afraid that the enemy would not come. This was a desperate attempt.
Even if they succeed in cultivation and the other party comes in droves, what if something unexpected happens?
However, Liu Xia was still a prince after all. Although he wanted to persuade him, he did not dare to speak and could only watch from one side tremblingly.
In a moment, the wall on one side of the east city gate was as bright as day.
The corpses of those unlucky people who came to rob Liu Xia were hung on the city wall with ropes, and they were all too miserable to look at.
And on the city wall, a good show seemed to be about to begin.
Wu Danian's body was stripped naked and nailed to the steel plate. At this moment, he was seriously injured and was already dying.
The steel plate was fixed horizontally on an iron plate, and a bonfire was prepared under the iron plate.
If this is the rhythm of Teppanyaki.
Although it seemed from the city wall that the surrounding area of Qiu County was very peaceful, Liu Xia knew that the bandits who had been repelled just now had all left.
At this moment, they naturally wanted to find out who had captured their second boss.
Liu Xia escaped from his arms with a healing medicine and threw it into Wu Danian's mouth. Wu Danian, who was seriously injured, woke up faintly. When he saw Liu Xia's handsome face, he said angrily: "Let go."
Your uncle, my elder brother will not let you go."
"Haha, seeing how arrogant you are, I'm reluctant to kill you."
Liu Xia smiled faintly, then took out another pill and gave it to him to swallow directly.
"Bah, what did you give me to eat?"
"Haha, don't be nervous, it's just an ordinary soul-keeping pill. I just want you to enjoy the whole process in a sober state. Let's do it."
After Liu Xia finished speaking, he sat to one side.
At that moment, Liu Liansheng lit a bonfire.
Wu Danian, who was sitting on the iron plate, was cursing at first, but he collapsed when he felt the warmth of the remaining iron plate to stop him from vomiting.
Unfortunately, no one can save him.
As a result, the miserable wailing sound lasted for a long time in the middle of the night.
