Chapter 868 Some things have nothing to talk about
Fang Qicheng left Ancun Village in fear, which was a great blessing for Ma Shouguan and other villagers. The prepayment of summer taxes and banditry were like two big mountains pressing down on them.
Fang Qi's departure made them relieved, but Ye An's face was full of gloom. From Fang Qi, it could be learned that there were no strong combat forces in the entire Hehuang area, and there were only border areas full of vacancies.
Army, of course, watch out for Tibet's Jishi Army in the west.
It is hard to imagine that there is only one Jishi Army left in the huge Qin Feng Road and it still maintains perfect combat capabilities. It is no wonder that Liu E allowed himself to establish a new army in the northwest. If an effective combat force is not formed here, the Song Dynasty's
The northwest will fall soon.
Although the Wang Gang has not returned yet, Ye An already knows the current situation and there will be no reinforcements coming to support...
Xue Da, who smelled of alcohol and had his chest exposed, staggered towards Ancun Village carrying a small flag sail. The flag was not a ferocious beast but a ferocious venomous snake. This kind of snake is a small flower snake unique to Liujiaxia. Although it is not big,
It is big but very poisonous. It is said to fall down in five steps. The small flag swings in the wind and the poisonous snake seems to come to life and keeps spitting out snake messages.
In front of him was the familiar village of An Village. Almost all the people here were surnamed Ma but their temperaments were as gentle as cattle. Xue Da couldn't help humming a tune, with a look of obscene fantasy on his face.
If An Village can no longer hand over food, they will have to use people to provide food. The little lady in this village is quite good-looking! Although she is a little thin, she is pretty and tight! As long as she brings it back to Liujiaxia, she will feed her well.
, after a period of time, you will have a mellow appearance, and when you are tired of playing, you can give it to Lu Da to pay off your gambling debts... zizizi...
Xue Da, who was feeling proud, couldn't help but smack his lips. He looked at the idle men around him, straightened his clothes and said, "Please cheer up me. An Village is a relatively wealthy village among the eight villages within ten miles. If you can't get food,
Take the young lady back politely, don't let others look down upon us!"
The minions behind him responded in unison and imitated Xue Da's example by adjusting their clothes, but their appearance became more and more arrogant.
The An Village in front of him was very quiet. The busy farming days had long passed. This was normal. Xue Da didn't take it seriously. No one dared to attack the people of Shetou Village at the intersection of Hehuang.
"Old Ma Tou, you are quite diligent today. In the past, you were too scared to show your face when you saw me!"
Ma Shouguan looked at the less than ten bandits in front of him, and was happy and disappointed at the same time. He was happy that not many people came, but he was disappointed because the Heavenly Official said that the more people came, the better.
"If Boss Xue is there, you should follow the rules when the day comes. Xiao Lao can't hide even if he wants to, right?"
Xue Da didn't take it seriously and didn't realize it was a trap. On the contrary, he felt that the people in An Village had already obeyed, just as they had done in the past when they threatened other villages.
Stepping forward and patting Ma Shouguan on the shoulder, Xue laughed and said: "Old Ma Tou really knows people. How should I put it in the words of a scholar? Know...what?"
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero!"
"Yes, yes, Junjie, you and I are both Junjie, haha!"
Ma Shouguan didn't want to stay with such an idiot at all. It was simply insulting to gentlemen. After looking at the unsuspecting people, his nervous heart relaxed a lot.
"This big haystack here is really a nuisance. Please move it away quickly so that the road will not be narrow enough for the carts when transporting grain back later!" Xue Da couldn't help frowning and complaining as he passed by the temporary haystack.
Ma Shouguan's heart suddenly tightened, and then he showed a bitter smile and said: "Boss Xue, these are the wheat straws saved last year. They were not burned during the winter... Do you think you are showing kindness?"
Xue Da waved his hands indifferently: "This is none of my business. I can't afford to be blamed by Master Yan for delaying the transportation of food! You will also have to eat the tops! Look at what's on this flag, no.
Don’t you know the rules of Liujiaxia Snake Head Village?!”
"I know, I know!" Ma Shouquan nodded repeatedly, as if he did not dare to disobey, but the further he walked into the village, the firmer his footsteps became.
These people are bandits and deserve to die. If the people of An Village cannot survive and become bandits like them, they might as well die!
A short walk away is the threshing floor of An Village. The tall granary is right in front of you. The surrounding area is empty and silent. For some reason, Xue Da, who has wandered on the edge of life and death several times, suddenly feels a cold neck. This is because he encountered a beast in the forest.
That’s how you feel.
Regardless of whether his guess was accurate or not, Xue Da screamed: "There is an ambush!" and quickly rolled to the side of the stone roller. This feeling saved him many times. No matter whether there was an ambush or not, he would not use his own
His life was tested. But this scream was still too hasty. A crossbow arrow was shot from the tall granary and immediately pinned the men brought by Xue Da to the ground. The crossbow arrow was so powerful that you could even hear it passing through the flesh and intersecting with the ground.
the sound of.
In just a short moment, seven or eight minions suffered heavy casualties. Only two of his men who were lucky followed Xue Da and hid behind the stone nian. But how could the small stone nian hide three people? One of them had an arrow in his leg.
The little minion was pushed out ruthlessly by Xue Da, and he was hit by several more arrows in an instant.
Xue Da looked at his subordinates who were shot like "scarecrows" in horror. So many crossbows were simply not something An Village could possess, or even the Funing Army in Lintan Fort.
He spoke tremblingly: "I've been offended by the villain. I don't know which nobleman is resting in this village of An. If Xue Da disturbs me, please don't blame me. The mountains will remain green and the water will flow forever. Please leave the villain alone."
A way out!"
The threshing floor was silent, and the silence that seemed like death made Xue Da even more desperate. This was a statement that he had no intention of talking at all.
"Why push people into such a situation? Nothing is non-negotiable!"
But he didn't know that some things were not negotiable. What he responded to was the sound of crossbow arrows. The arrows fired by several powerful crossbows nailed the ground, and the clods of soil stirred up hit his ankles.
A figure rushed out from behind the stone roller, but it was not Xue Da. The crossbow arrow instantly shot the black shadow into a hedgehog. At this time, Xue Da took the opportunity to rush out. It was he who had just pushed his men out to block the arrows. With the help of his men,
When he was hit by an arrow, he wanted to rush out of this terrifying threshing floor.
But unfortunately, it was too empty here, and there was no shelter except for stone rollers. The sharp arrows easily passed through his body, shooting him to the ground with great force, but the crossbow only penetrated his shoulders.
That's all.
Just when Xue Da desperately welcomed his death, the crossbow arrows that swarmed towards him did not appear. An old man with a white face and gloomy eyes stood not far away and casually threw the crossbow arrows to his men, and then dragged himself towards him like a dead dog.
Inside the village of An.
The huge pain made Xue Da's eyes blurred. After seeing the wrong pair of black-faced and white-soled fast boots, he fainted before he could see clearly who it was...
