Wang Laoer crushed the thief holding his calf to death and turned around.
“Is beef jerky delicious?”
The old man smiled and said, "It's delicious."
Yang Xuan was dumbfounded.
What the hell!
He didn't even see clearly how the shot was fired.
Thinking again about the old man's slight movement of his fingers earlier, the dead grass at his feet actually started to fly.
Damn it!
I actually kicked this guy over?
"Kill!"
The thieves came again.
There was a crisis everywhere at the top of the city, and those young men who joined in were more powerful, and their casualty ratio with the thieves was almost one to one.
This is because of the defense of the city.
If they are dragged out to fight in the field, Yang Xuan guarantees that with the same number of thieves, these young men can be defeated with just one attack.
Qin Jian was holding his thigh and panting. He glanced at Yang Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, I'll take the first step!"
"Your son's marriage!" When Yang Xuan saw that his face was pale, he knew that he was out of strength. At this time, all he needed was a thief to come and push Qin Jian down.
Qin Jian smiled and said: "Xiao Yang."
He straightened up.
"Damn it! Call me the envoy!"
"Xiao Yang, remember to go back and tell Quanzi that I have tried my best, but that woman... doesn't matter if you don't want to marry her!"
Qin Jian rushed forward with a knife.
"Deputy envoy!"
Cheng Ran, with his beard and hair dyed red, shouted: "A man from the Tang Dynasty!"
Everyone in the mission shouted, "We will fight until we die!"
No one took a step back, everyone was fighting hard.
The kings were still huddled behind, and Yuan Xiao looked at the brutal fighting with pale faces.
"Wang Shilang, we are going to break the city!" Yuan Xiao turned around and wanted to run away.
Wang Zhong pulled him and said, "There is someone down there."
Under the city, even at this time, Uda was still standing there with two guards.
He stared at Wang Zhong and Yuan Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "Master orders, anyone who shrinks from the battle shall be killed!"
Yuan Xiao shouted: "I am an official of Southern Zhou Dynasty, you have nothing to do with me!"
Uda smiled ferociously and said, "How about you come down and give it a try?"
When facing a war, supervising the battle team is often more important than regular soldiers.
Without a supervising team, once a retreat occurs at the front, it will be a complete defeat in an instant.
The Tang army also had a team to supervise the battle, which was usually held by the deputy of a junior officer. The deputy led the team to stand at the back, and anyone who was afraid of fighting would be killed. Even his superiors would be killed.
This is how the Tang army became brave and fearless of death!
The kings turned around and shouted: "Zhang Chunqiu, you are a traitor to the army, I will put you in a dilemma of life and death!"
In his opinion, if Zhang Chunqiu had not taken advantage of his free wages, today's battle to defend the city would have been won.
Everything is this thief's fault!
Yuan Xiao's eyes were red, "Thieves join the army, I will make your family become slaves!"
Zhang Chunqiu panted, with a wry smile on his fat face.
The deputy general next to him was injured in many places, and he choked with sobs: "What should I do?"
Zhang Chunqiu smiled bitterly and said: "The current plan is just for death!"
"The enemy is coming."
A section of the city was breached, and a crowd of thieves rushed up.
Even Yang Xuan's expression changed.
"Wang Shilang!"
Zhang Chunqiu shouted.
Wang Zhong said with a cold face, "Thieves and armies, what else do you have to say?"
Zhang Chunqiu glanced at him and said, "This villain is going to die, just to spare his family!"
The kings sneered, "Let's see!"
Waving a long knife, Zhang Chunqiu rushed into the thieves.
From the crowd, miserable howls kept coming, making people feel like they were in hell.
Blood kept splattering out.
Swords and guns were waving.
Thieves keep falling.
"Hit him!"
"I stabbed the dog officer!"
But the sword light never stopped.
Until the last thief staggered back, looking at the bloody man who could not be knocked down by a pestle.
"ah!"
The thief was so frightened that he jumped down.
The bloody man turned around slowly.
"Wang Shilang, may I?"
The voice was weak, but extremely firm.
Wang Zhong was trembling all over and felt that his lower abdomen was bloated. He subconsciously said: "Yes! Yes!"
The bloody man let go and fell down.
Wang Laoer was slashing on the other side.
"Child, come back!"
The old prisoner is waving.
Wang Laoer turned around and said, "I want to protect Mr. Lang!"
"who?"
"Langjun!" Wang Laoer pointed at Yang Xuan who was killing.
The old man said in confusion: "Can't we leave him behind?"
"cannot!"
"It's very troublesome!"
The spear suddenly moved.
"ah!"
Yang Xuan was startled by the miserable howl and looked sideways.
The shadow of a gun wrapped around a human figure kept moving at the top of the city.
Wherever he goes, no one can defeat him.
A rain of blood suddenly fell on the city wall.
"Fuck!"
Yang Xuan couldn't help but cursed: "This old man... is actually a master?"
Yang Xuan shouted: "Kill!"
The thieves were frightened by this wave of killings. Yang Xuan took advantage of the situation and led his men to rush and kill them, and actually killed the thieves back.
"retreat!"
With a livid face, Cai Mo gave the order to retreat.
"We can't retreat!" Zheng Zan said in panic: "The officers and soldiers are coming. If we retreat now, we will miss the mark."
"If they don't retreat, they will collapse." Cai Mo suddenly grabbed Zheng Zan's collar and said through gritted teeth, "Who is that old man with the gun? If it weren't for him, the city would have been broken!"
"I don't know either." Zheng Zan said, "What should we do?"
At the top of the city, Yang Xuan walked to the bloody man's side and knelt down on one knee.
The bloody man opened his eyes, forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty."
Yang Xuan stretched out his hand to feel his pulse and shook his head at the deputy general, indicating that this man had returned to his former glory.
"General Zhang."
The bloody man moved slowly and said, "It's worth it."
"You're not bad either."
"Is Yecheng saved?"
"Saved."
"Possible pursuit?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "No."
"With one strike, the thieves will be defeated."
"I'm exhausted."
"That's right." Zhang Chunqiu said with a smile: "This is the Southern Zhou Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty."
"You are a smart man. If so, why do you live on free wages?"
“Had to eat.”
"Why?"
"If you want to be promoted, you have to please your superior. If you don't have money, you can't find a way."
"Promotion?"
"Yes! I thought that this place is not far from Bianjing, so there would be no thieves. But I didn't expect that there was a group of thieves recently..."
"They are rioters."
"They swept through a lot of places."
"Why don't you report it?"
"I want to retaliate, but I don't dare."
"Why?"
"If something like this happens in the local area, in order to shirk the blame, they will throw me out. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that my family will be implicated."
"So you just concealed it and refused to report it? What if it broke out?"
"One day is too late to die. Maybe the thief has gone elsewhere."
"Understood."
Zhang Chunqiu slowly turned his eyes and looked at Wang Zhong from the side, "My family..."
His right hand flicked for a moment, then fell limply.
A sigh.
Those eyes refused to close.
Qin Jian sighed, "He is a good man, how about... help him?"
"I really want to help him, but the more things like this in Southern Zhou, the better." Yang Xuan stretched out his hand to wipe Zhang Chunqiu's eyelids.
Eyelids drooped.
Let go.
It bounced back again.
Yang Xuan wiped it again, but it was still the same.
The old thief came over and took a look, "Lang Jun, this person is afraid that he has some unfulfilled wish, so he refuses to close his eyes."
Is this the muscle at work?
Yang Xuan smiled.
Apply it again.
His eyelids still slid back, and his eyes suddenly looked at Yang Xuan.
Damn it!
The old thief said: "Back then, the villain encountered someone who remembered on his epitaph that he did not close his eyes after death and cursed his enemies and their entire families to die before he died."
"What's the result?"
"All dead."
Yang Xuan looked at the corpse carefully.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Jian was so exhausted that he couldn't get up even after sitting down.
"I forgot one thing just now."
"What's the matter?"
"I should let him curse the Southern Zhou Dynasty and destroy it."
Qin Jian: "..."
Old thief: "..."
Yang Xuan looked at those eyes and felt guilty, so he asked: "How can I make him close his eyes?"
The old thief said: "Promise him."
Qin Jian asked: "What did he just say?"
Yang Xuan said: "I want his family to be safe."
Qin Jian said: "Try?"
Yang Xuan reached out and covered Zhang Chunqiu's eyes.
"I promise you, your family... will be safe."
He raised his hand.
Those eyes that were unwilling to close their eyes before.
It's closed now.
A stream of cold air rushed down from the top of his head.
The spring was bright, but Yang Xuan felt like he was in an ice cellar.
"This thief joins the army, and when he returns, he and his family will be exiled to a barbaric land!"
Yuan Xiao felt that he had been exposed in this battle, so he gritted his teeth and vowed to take revenge on Zhang Chunqiu, while shirking responsibility.
Yang Xuan stood up slowly, "Let his family go."
Yuan Xiao shook his head, "Your Majesty, this is a state matter of the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"But the defense of the city before was also a state matter of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and it was none of my business!"
"Your Majesty, these two things cannot be compared."
"Let it go or not?"
"I'm sorry, but I obey!"
Choking!
The horizontal knife was unsheathed and placed on Yuan Xiao's neck.
Yang Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Let it go or not?"
Yuan Xiao said calmly: "Your Majesty just takes action."
Previously, this person was greedy for life and fearful of death when the thieves attacked the city, and showed his ugly face. But now he is impassioned and fearless of death.
"Civil officials are so shameless!"
Wang Laoer squatted next to the old prisoner.
The old man nodded, "The most shameless people in the world are officials."
The old thief came over and said, "Lang Jun promised Zhang Chunqiu that he would protect his family."
The old man sneered, "They all deserve to die!"
This man is a bit cynical!
The old thief wanted to argue, but when he saw the spear beside the old thief, he couldn't help but change his face to a smile, "Do you want dried meat?"
Over there, Yang Xuan moved his hand lightly.
"Ouch!"
Yuan Xiao felt a sharp pain in his neck, and something was flowing down. He was so distraught that he screamed: "Let it go, let it go!"
"Swear!" Yang Xuan added another force, "Swear on your family members!"
"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhong frowned and tried to persuade him.
Yang Xuan said coldly: "I will go and see all the ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty later."
The kings have shrunk their eggs.
Today, he is also showing his ugly face. Yang Xuan only needs to make sarcastic remarks when meeting the important ministers, and the kings can find a rope to commit suicide.
"I swear, if I don't protect you..."
"Change." Yang Xuan was worried about the integrity of civil servants, "If something happens to Zhang Chunqiu's family, your whole family will have men stealing women into prostitution."
Damn it!
So poisonous!
The kings shuddered.
"Yes, if something happens to Zhang Chunqiu's family, your family... no, my family is a male thief and a female prostitute."
Yang Xuan withdrew the horizontal knife, and Yuan Xiao sat down on the ground, trembling and touching his neck while choking, "I'm dead! I'm dead!"
He felt that his neck had been cut at least with a deep cut, but when he touched it...
Why!
It seems like the skin is just broken?
I narrowly escaped death!
He laughed through his tears, and a bubble of snot bubbled out of his nostrils.
Qin Jian shook his head, "Are the civil servants of the Southern Zhou Dynasty so unruly?"
Cheng Ran smiled and said: "Deputy envoy, you cannot eat or sleep on moral integrity. The emperors of the Southern Zhou Dynasty treated the literati and civil servants well, so they naturally wanted to stay useful."
"What are you keeping for?"
"Eat, drink and be merry!"
Qin Jian was silent for a long time, "If the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty were like this, I can't imagine it."
"Langjun." Wang Laoer waved.
"How is your leg injury?" Yang Xuan came over and glanced at the old man.
The old prisoner was still blank, but his eyes looking at Wang Laoer were a little more lively.
Some are like kindness.
The second child is really attractive!
Wang Laoer pulled up his trouser legs and saw that both sides were bitten and bleeding. The deep tooth marks were shocking to look at.
Yang Xuan turned around and said, "Old thief, bring me the medicine bag."
Wang Laoer said with a smile: "Lang Jun, it's okay, just turn around and you'll be fine."
"A human's mouth is dirtier than a dog's mouth." Yang Xuan read the introduction in the scroll and saw that being bitten to pieces would be quite dangerous.
Wang Laoer wondered, "Then...why do those men and women still like to kiss?"
Well!
This kid really can't pick up any pot.
Yang Xuan couldn't explain this problem either.
The old man looked at him blankly.
The old thief brought the medicine bag, and Yang Xuan found the medicinal powder prepared by Zhou Ning. He also ordered some boiling water to be washed first before applying the medicine.
"It's ready."
"The thief has escaped!"
Someone at the top of the city shouted.
Yang Xuan did not turn around, and the king asked: "Your envoy is not happy?"
"Expected things."
"Those rebels are brave."
"It's just a matter of one go. After being defeated twice, the thieves lost all their morale. The thieves chief did not dare to attack the city again. Otherwise, as soon as the city opened, it only took fifty cavalry to defeat them."
so?
Wang Zhong suddenly turned around and took a look.
"Together, we can get fifty riders."
"I'm tired."
Qin Jian smiled on the other side.
"It's better to leave those thieves to cause trouble for Southern Zhou."
Yang Xuan stretched out his hand and saw a wound on his arm.
The kings were a little resentful. If it were the sergeant of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he would give the order and anyone who disobeyed would be killed with a sword.
According to Privy Councilor Han Bi: The best way to deal with such thieves is to kill them. Kill them to serve as a warning to others!
What a sincere statement!
Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "Is this considered a contribution to Southern Zhou?"
Wang Zhong nodded, "It's a great achievement."
He felt that he could not make everyone shut up and not mention this matter, so Yang Xuan's contribution could not be concealed. He only wanted to reduce his own guilt.
For this reason, Yang Xuan must be given some benefits.
Yang Xuan pointed at the old prisoner and said, "Give him to me!"
Wang Zhong looked at the old prisoner, and the thrilling scene from before flashed in his mind.
The spear danced like a big ball, and wherever it passed, corpses were everywhere.
It would be great if I had such a follower!
Naturally, good things cannot be given to the Tang people, but more reminders from messengers are needed... Wang Zhong coughed dryly, "Would you like to follow me?"
The old prisoner shook his head slightly.
The kings sneered, "I am the Minister of Rites!"
Boom!
I don't know how the old man did it, but the spear lying on the side suddenly appeared in his hand.
hehe!
Wang Zhong is such a fool!
The old thief chuckled and said, "This person is a bit cynical!"
Wang Zhong is now looking for abuse.
He said angrily: "You bitch, your envoy can just take him away!"
But can the elderly criminal leave?
Wang Zhong was a little embarrassed and wanted to see the result.
The old prisoner shook his head.
Such a good player!
Yang Xuan shook his head.
Get up.
"Find a place to rest!"
His whole body ached and he just wanted to find a place to sleep.
The whole delegation followed.
Wang Laoer reluctantly walked at the end, looking back three times every step.
"I have a lot of dried meat here. Yi Niang can also make dried meat. Let's go back and eat together!"
He waved.
Yang Xuan turned around and was about to call Wang Laoer to hurry up.
