166: Chaos in Xiaocheng (6) [seeking monthly ticket]
Shen Tang: "..."
This is simply off the mark!
The war hadn't even started yet, and the county guard fled first.
This matter was within Qi Shan's expectation, so he was not surprised at all. If the county guard suddenly wanted to defend the city to the death and live and die with the people of Xiaocheng, then he would let the sun rise in the west - it's not that the county guard had a bad brain. It's just that someone took away your body...
Shen Tang: "Who is in charge of Xiaocheng now?"
The people didn't know either. The news he knew was heard from other people on the road. As for who the other people knew it from...how did he know?
The most important thing now is to escape.
The man took a breath, picked up the old mother again, tied the hemp rope, carried a wooden stick and some dry food and belongings, and said goodbye to Shen Tang and the others. He watched the mother and son merge into the refugee crowd. , she suddenly clenched her fists.
They thought they could reach the destination in three hours with the remaining journey, but it turned out to be contrary to expectations. The official road was blocked and the trails were full of people fleeing. The four of them had to change their route and take a detour. Along the way, they saw fireworks going off in a certain village, and a group of soldiers dressed as soldiers. The young strong man is arresting someone.
Shen Tang and others have the potential to be cannon fodder at first glance.
The leading soldier glanced at them, pointed his spear at the four of them, and shouted loudly: "You four, stop!"
Shen Tang paused.
He asked coldly: "You called me?"
Several soldiers gathered around. The leader, General Shen Tang, looked up and down, and was very satisfied with their age and physique. He asked forcefully: "Are you common people in this village? Do you also want to avoid recruiting soldiers?"
Shen Tang had a cold face. Even though he wanted to punch the person and knock him to the ground, he still responded: "No, he's just a passerby."
One more thing is better than one less thing. The clothes of these soldiers are obviously not from the Sibao County garrison, they are probably from the rebels. Shen Tang doesn't want to cause trouble now, but it's a pity - she wants to let others go, but she can't stand them up and seek death. .
The leading soldier did not listen to Shen Tang's explanation at all.
They come out to "recruit troops" with specific targets.
If the target is not met, you will be scolded when you go back. You have to capture enough people for your own future. If you encounter resistance and obstruction, you will be killed directly.
He said: "Whether it is true or not, we will know after you take them back and ask them. Once you are found to be lying...haha! Take them all away!"
The man waved his hand.
Just as Shen Tang was about to have a seizure, two soldiers grabbed a man from a broken house at the end of the village and said excitedly: "Boss, come and take a look!"
What followed was the scream of a woman struggling and resisting.
Shen Tang followed the sound and saw a pretty peasant woman wearing simple women's clothes being dragged out of the house. She kept begging for mercy. Even though her face was smeared with black pot ash, she could tell that it was a sign of appearance. . Another man chased out.
"...Bing Ye, Bing Ye, that's my wife, please let her go...I'll go with you, I'll go with you...let her go!"
The young couple hid in the firewood pile behind the broken house. They had been hiding well, but the soldiers could not resist the soldiers who broke into the village and searched vigorously. Every place where people could hide was not missed, and the couple was quickly found.
The man thought that he could just agree to leave, but he still underestimated the madness of these rebels. Their "recruitment" quota was not small, and it was difficult to complete it under normal circumstances. In order to avoid punishment, these soldiers would also look for women with good looks or figures. .
What to use it for?
Of course it is used to bribe the boss.
Of course, good-looking men will do, too.
If you can satisfy your boss, not only can you get rid of the problem of indicators, but you can also win appreciation, be promoted and be reused.
In this respect, this charming-looking peasant woman is much heavier than the man. The man stepped forward several times to pull against him, and the peasant woman even scratched him during her struggle. Finally, the soldier was annoyed and kicked him His heart.
Don’t know how to praise!
If this kick were to hit him hard, given the man's size, he would fall to the ground or, in more serious cases, faint and lose consciousness.
Who knows——
That's when the accident happened.
A ray of sword light struck, and a scream that was more brutal than the slaughter of a pig was heard, and the calf of the kicking soldier flew out.
Yes, it flew directly out!
A large spurt of blood covered the man's face.
The woman was also frightened by this scene and almost forgot to struggle for a moment. But only for a moment, when the soldier fell to the ground without his legs, she opened her mouth and bit the other man's wrist, and took advantage of the pain to let go of the other man's hand. , pounced on his own man.
In just such a short time, the situation turned upside down.
Shen Tang took action as if it was a signal.
Gong Shuwu broke the necks of the two closest people with his bare hands. Qi Shan sneered and drew out his sword. Shen Tang liked to wipe people's necks, and he liked to greet people's hearts. The remaining Chu Yao didn't wear a sword. After all, his swordsmanship had been neglected for many years. Wearing a sword is just for decoration, but he is a literary scholar after all. His strength is greater than that of ordinary people, and he can hit someone with one fist until his head is buzzing.
The soldiers of these "forced conscripts" were all ordinary people, not even low-ranking public servants. Shen Tang and the four of them could kill all the remaining people.
The couple were not the only ones rescued.
Dozens of people shivered as they looked at the corpses on the ground.
Shen Tang shook off the blood on the blade of the sword and said softly: "You guys pack up and run away together, it's no longer safe here."
This group of soldiers did not go back to resume their duties. Sooner or later the rebels will track down this village. If they stay here, they will be waiting for death. It is better to escape as soon as possible.
"Thank you so much, good man! Thank you so much, so good man!"
Shen Tang responded warmly: "There is no need to thank you. It goes against the principles of our generation to refuse to save someone in the face of death or to ignore difficulties."
Although the disguised skin was tough and scary, his eyes were calm, diluting the fright the skin brought to the villagers.
No matter how reluctant most of the villagers were, they could only go back to pack up their belongings and flee for their lives as soon as possible. However, a few of them didn't have a clear idea and actually cursed at the top of their lungs. Shen Tang was the one who cursed: "You guys are going to be killed by the gangsters." What kind of heroes are you? Didn’t you kill everyone? Why should we let us escape? If the four of you didn’t intervene, these bastards would have captured the people and left!"
The faces of Qi Shan and others suddenly changed.
It's not that they haven't seen this battle before. In fact, they all know that people's hearts are fickle, especially in these remote places where unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh waters. Don't expect unruly people to "repay their kindness".
The reason why they change their expressions is because of Shen Tang.
In the view of Qishan and Qi Shan, Shen Xiaolangjun/Wulang are still young and facing such a scene without any warning is not good for their physical and mental health.
It’s just that I never expected——
Shen Tang's sword point touched the man's neck, leaving a bloody mark. The villager felt the pain and became frightened, and his whole face turned pale.
"Ha, do you know what it means to be afraid?" Shen Tang looked cold and sneered, just like her drunken demeanor, and warned, "Don't move! If you move, I won't be able to hold the sword steadily, and your head and body will be affected. The family is about to be separated. Since you call me a 'violent bandit', believe it or not, I will show you how fierce I am now. Anyway, I have killed so many people, so what if I kill a few more blind people?"
For a moment, the atmosphere around him hit rock bottom.
Shen Tang was surrounded by a cold murderous intention that even Gong Shuwu was secretly frightened by, let alone these ordinary villagers?
He immediately changed his mind and begged for mercy, not daring to make any mistakes.
