Chen Qing stayed in the inn and did not go out again. The business was done. He got a counter ticket of three thousand guan, and Boss Jiang also shipped the goods back.
Next, he waited for the Bianliang reinforcements to arrive and arrested Xu Laohu and Tang Zhixian.
At noon, Chen Qing was sitting at the table having a meal. A soldier hurriedly came to him and whispered a few words. Chen Qing was startled, "Are you sure?"
"I can confirm that there are four people at the front door, three people at the back door, and one person squatting in the side alley. They are all a group of people."
Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Go and capture the people in the side alley and question them!"
The two men fled, and Chen Qing asked the innkeeper again, "Innkeeper, do you have any weapons here?"
"I don't have it here, but my cousin does. He is the owner Jiang who bought your Jiuqu Cake. His family has a lot of weapons to protect the winery."
Chen Qing immediately asked two of his men to follow the man to the wine shop to get weapons, and asked the shop owner, "Are there any horses in the county?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "All the livestock in the county were confiscated by the Jin soldiers. In the past few months, there have been more donkeys and mules, as well as some cattle for plowing. There are really no horses. By the way, it seems that the Xu family has a few horses."
."
When the innkeeper saw that Chen Qing wanted weapons and horses, he became a little worried, "Mr. Chen, what happened?"
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, it's nothing. We may have to go out for a day or two, and the donkey will be taken care of. It's no problem!"
"Don't worry! I will make arrangements."
Chen Qing asked with a smile: "If you were given a choice, which county magistrate would you choose to be the county magistrate?"
"I choose?"
"Yes! Give you a choice."
The shop owner scratched his head and said, "If I were really allowed to choose, I would prefer Ma County Lieutenant to be the county magistrate?"
"Why?"
"Ma County Lieutenant is generous, treats the people well, and never puts on official airs. He often goes to the fields to help the lonely elderly people work. I didn't know he thought he was a farmer."
Chen Qing nodded, "What about the county magistrate?"
"Han Xian Cheng basically does not exist. He spends most of his time running his winery. Everyone has no impression of him. But in any case, Ma Xian Wei and Han Xian Cheng are better than the current Tang Zhixian. Tang Zhixian Tai
Greedy."
"I know, thanks for letting me know!"
At this time, when Chen Qing saw his subordinates appearing at the door, he sent the shop owner away. His subordinates stepped forward and said with a serious expression: "It's Xu Laohu's arrangement to monitor His Highness's every move."
"What do they want to do?"
"The supervisor doesn't know, and he doesn't know who His Highness is, but he knows that he is an extremely important person."
Chen Qing narrowed his eyes and they recognized him.
The three soldiers all looked at Chen Qing. Chen Qing said calmly: "Whoever wants to take advantage of me will definitely pay a heavy price. There is a large forest outside the city. We will leave the city after we get the weapons. You go and prepare three days of dry food."
And water!”
The three of them hurried away, and not long after, two of their subordinates used two donkeys to carry a large number of weapons. Before, each of them only carried a sword. Chen Qing only wore a sword, and also brought a bow and three weapons.
Gunpowder arrows.
Everyone packed up their weapons, and the soldiers handed Chen Qing a bow and two pots of arrows, "Their hardest thing is a stone bow, and His Highness can only make do with it."
"Can!"
Chen Qingjian actually has six sets of armor. Although it is leather armor, it can also resist ordinary bows and arrows.
He also put on a pair of armor, and his five men put on armor and took weapons, each of them had a spear and a pair of crossbows.
The shopkeeper came in and saw that they had turned into soldiers. He was so frightened that he almost dropped the water hyacinth in his hand.
Chen Qing said to him: "If anyone asks you, just say that we left without saying goodbye. You didn't see anything. Do you understand?"
"I, I understand."
Chen Qinghe's men took water hyacinth and dry food bags, "Let's go!"
They walked directly out of the main entrance. Several servants who were watching them ran away in fear. One of his subordinates ran a few steps slower and was shot in the leg by an arrow from Chen Qing's own soldiers. He fell to the ground and cried loudly for help.
Chen Qing and his six men quickly arrived in front of the North City Gate. Seeing their murderous intent, several rural soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop them, so they stepped aside one after another, and the six men left the city directly.
Soon, Xu Wu got the news. He was shocked and immediately found Tang Qi, the county magistrate. Tang Qi knew that he had no way out. He immediately ordered Dutou to lead more than a hundred rural soldiers to join the Xu family's hundreds of servants, and two hundred
Thirty people, led by Xu and his son, chased outside the city.
After chasing him to the city gate, Xu Wu shouted and asked: "Where did the six men in armor go?"
The soldier pointed to the large woods in the northwest and said, "They have entered the woods."
"Chase!"
Xu Wu urged his horses and led more than 200 people to rush towards the woods in the northwest direction.
To the northwest is a low hill, called Qifeng Hill, which is about twenty miles long, with the highest point only thirty feet, and about one mile wide. Both the hill and the foot of the hill are covered by large forests.
Xu Wu's third son, Xu Weizhou, took the lead and rushed into the woods with dozens of people. Suddenly, Xu Weizhou screamed on his horse and fell off his horse. Several other people also screamed and fell to the ground.
Others were so frightened that they fled one after another. Xu Wu turned over and dismounted. The servants had already carried Xu Weizhou out of the woods. They saw an arrow in his eyebrow. The arrow almost penetrated his head. Xu Weizhou was already dead.
Xu Wu yelled and threw himself on his son. The intense grief made him completely lose his mind. He was shaking while holding his son's body, and his eyes were about to burst into flames. He yelled, "Come in and kill them all."
!”
More than two hundred people rushed into the woods together, the sound of crossbows sounded, and six more people fell down after being hit by arrows, all of them hitting their vital points. Chen Qing's five men were all soldiers with extremely high martial arts skills, and all of them had experienced hundreds of battles.
, can defeat one against ten, or even more.
After shooting more than a dozen people, Chen Qing led his men to move to the hill. In just a moment, they climbed up the hill twenty feet high and shot arrows downwards from above. More than two hundred people rushed up with shouts.
, Chen Qing took out an arrow and shot it, hitting a rural soldier in the middle of the forehead, and his body rolled down the hillside.
Before the other soldiers could react, Chen Qing fired ten consecutive arrows, one after another, killing one person with each arrow. The soldiers had never seen such killings before, and they were so frightened that they rolled down and ran away.
, but were fired upon by five soldiers with crossbows, and several more were shot from behind.
At this time, the village soldiers all trembled and asked, "Master Xu, who is that person above?"
Xu Wu said coldly: "The imperial court has offered a reward of 100,000 yuan for the first prisoner captured. If you get his head, you can be promoted to commander."
Although he was still confused, he was completely tempted by the temptation of being promoted to commander.
Dutou whispered: "Beizi knows a small road leading up from the west. It is better for Beizi to lead fifty brothers to outflank it. After Beizi kills them, the senior officials will attack from the front. They will be flanked by both sides and they will have no way to fly!"
Xu Wu was overjoyed and said, "Take your men down immediately!"
They all waved their 30-pound golden-backed swords and said, "All the first team of rural soldiers, follow me!"
He led fifty rural soldiers and ran to the west.
Chen Qing could clearly see from the hill that a large group of soldiers were heading west. How experienced he was. He immediately said to one of his subordinates: "Go to the west and see if there is a way up the mountain?"
"Follow the order!"
His men flew away. At this time, Chen Qing saw that the servants at the foot of the mountain were a little restless. Three of them were shouting. He took out three arrows, bit them in his mouth, and shot them out one after another. The three most active servants
He was hit by arrows in the throat one after another and fell to the ground clutching his throat. He was killed immediately. The forest at the foot of the mountain suddenly became quiet.
Not long after, the soldiers who went to the west rushed back and reported, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a small road to the west. I saw them going up the mountain on the small road."
"Go and keep an eye on them. Call me when there are still thirty steps left."
The soldiers went again, and Chen Qing ordered: "Everyone shoots arrows into the woods. It doesn't matter whether you can hit each other!"
Several of his men fired arrows continuously, and the arrows shot through the air into the woods. Xu Wu and his men all hid in the woods, and no one dared to show their head.
At this time, the soldiers from the west came back again, "Your Highness, we are already within thirty steps!"
"let's go!"
Chen Qing led five of his men and ran to the west.
