Chapter 155: Bandit Suppression Outside the Forest 3
Yes, he is another person who wants money rather than his life. He didn't even blink when he saw that person talking. Shao Yan speculated that the origins of these people were very unusual. They had soldiers to stop them and the bandits to catch them. However, there was one thing he could not figure out.
Understand, they all say that the whole world is not the land of the king, but there are still people these days who are not afraid of the emperor.
From this point of view, these guys not only have a good background, but they are also desperadoes. There is no second choice to deal with such people. There is only one word - kill. But before the fight, Shao Yan hopes to get it out of their mouths.
He came up with some clues and said: "I'm afraid your background is quite high based on your tone. Since you want to kill me by name, I would like to know how much my head is worth."
The middle-aged man wiped his beard and smiled, "Your Majesty, please stop asking. Even if you ask, I can't tell you."
"Forget it if you don't tell me. I'll ask you again, those villagers have no grudges against you, why do you want to kill them?" Shao Yan asked, pointing to the smoke on the other side of the river.
The middle-aged man exhaled disdainfully and said: "As long as they are citizens of Donglin Kingdom, they should be killed."
Shao Yan was so angry that his eyes were filled with stars, and he said with righteous indignation: "Your goal is to deal with me, why do you want to hurt innocent people?"
"It's very simple, because they only have Emperor Donglin in their hearts, so they all deserve to be killed."
"Who ordered you to do this? Is it Jin Dingguo?" Shao Yan's tone became very cold, and his right hand instinctively clenched the hilt of the sword. As long as the other party nodded in agreement, he would personally lead his troops to rush over and kill these village massacres.
of beasts
The middle-aged man shook his head, smiled, and said contemptuously: "Does the Emperor still remember the Regent Guo Wei?"
After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be the remnants of Guo Wei's party. No wonder they were all fierce and murderous. They came to avenge Guo Wei. In this way, these people have been ambushing here for a long time. Shao Yan was stunned.
After a while, he forced a smile and said: "I remember, of course I remember."
"It's good to remember. It's true that the sky has eyes. I didn't expect that I could wait until this day. Lord Izumi Youzhi should rest in peace." The middle-aged man took a breath of relief.
After hearing what he said, I remembered that the last time I led someone to set up an ambush in front of Guo Wei's grave, I let someone slip through the net. At first glance, the middle-aged man did look very similar to the remnant of Guo Wei who escaped that day, so he
He told Shao Yan about his discovery.
Shao Yan nodded with satisfaction. Since the other party is not from Jin Dingguo, it will be much easier to deal with. At least there is no need to worry about a large number of ambushes appearing nearby. I really don't pay attention to a few bandits, and then I look at the middle-aged man.
The man smiled coldly: "I let you escape last time, but this time you won't be able to fly even if you have wings." After saying this, he made a gesture, and the soldiers tightened their bow strings, "Whoosh--whoosh--", and in an instant, thousands of arrows were fired.
Shoot straight towards the other side of the river
Hearing the middle-aged man shout "Evacuate", everyone jumped into the pit dug in advance. Then the big tree that fell on the ground stood up again, like mighty and upright warriors. Shao Yan ordered the soldiers to set fire
Burning the entire forest, however, just as the soldiers threw their torches into the forest, countless fireballs were suddenly thrown out of the forest. The fireballs were fierce and rushed straight towards the soldiers. Shao Yan saw that the situation was not good.
The soldiers were immediately withdrawn from the other side of the river. Due to the timely retreat, no casualties were caused. However, facing the strange woods in front of him, Shao Yan seemed a little helpless. Just as he lowered his head and frowned, his eyes
I accidentally noticed the river in front of me and found a turtle crawling slowly forward on the river beach.
Seeing this, Shao Yan couldn't help but have an idea, so he ordered the Huotou Army to fetch a large cooking pot, and then asked the soldiers to work in groups of three, two of them were responsible for carrying the pot, and one person stood in the middle holding a spear and a torch, and asked the soldiers to
Before launching an attack in the woods, he specifically asked the soldiers to wet all their clothes.
When everything was ready, Shao Yan gave an order, and each of the three soldiers carried a large pot on their shoulders and walked towards the woods. As usual, fireballs continued to fall from the sky above the woods. The soldiers were covered with iron pots.
There was water on their clothes, and no amount of fireballs could stop them. The soldiers followed Shao Yan's instructions and used torches to light the hay on the ground. After a while, the entire forest ignited with blazing fire. Those fireballs
also gradually disappeared
After a while, many screams were heard from the woods. In the picture, dozens of bandits jumped out from the ground. Their bodies were all set on fire. They rushed out of the woods one by one, trying to jump into the river.
To put out the fire, the soldiers waiting by the river rushed out together. The bandits were unexpected and raised their weapons to resist tenaciously. For a moment, the shouts, screams, and killing sounds were deafening. Although these bandits were all skilled in martial arts,
Although he was superior, he could not defeat the imperial army that was several times larger than his own. In the end, they were all killed by the river.
After a desperate struggle, the river was almost completely dyed red. On the bank, there were corpses lying everywhere in the river. After counting, there were a total of 113 corpses. Shao Yan asked people to put all the corpses in order.
were discharged by the river. After comparing them one by one, only the body of the middle-aged man was not visible.
Shao Yan was very puzzled. At this moment, a soldier pointed to the forest and exclaimed. Everyone looked around and saw thick yellow smoke rising from the large forest, and there was also a faint fragrance.
Yun Yun, who was sitting on the horse, couldn't help but frown and shouted: "No, it's the deadly incense."
"Deathly incense?" Shao Yan was shocked. This was a new term. He had only heard that incense was used to charm people, but he had never heard that it could kill people.
Yunyun covered her nose with one hand and said: "This fragrance is an extraordinary ecstasy. It will make you faint when you first smell it. If you can't find the antidote within half an hour, you will die unconsciously."
On that day, Shao Yan was worried. This kind of joke is not random. I would rather die on the battlefield than lose my life in such obscurity. He hurriedly asked: "What should I do? Is there anything else besides the antidote?"
Can it be prevented?" He knew that it was impossible to find an antidote at this time.
"There is a way, but -" Yun Yun's pretty face turned red and she wanted to continue but was embarrassed.
Shao Yan was so anxious that he said, "It's just nothing, you should tell me quickly."
Yunyun hesitated and said: "You have to cover your mouth with a man's urine to save your life." After saying this, the girl's cheeks turned red.
Damn, this is too easy. Without saying a word, Shao Yan quickly jumped off the horse and reached out to unbutton his pants. His face turned red and he quickly covered his eyes with his hands. Only then did Shao Yan realize that his actions were a bit rude.
, but in order to save their lives, they could only be 'rude' once, and then ordered all the soldiers to collectively draw their guns and release the 'antidote'
After finishing, Shao Yan tore the wet handkerchief in half and walked to the horse and handed it to Yunyun. Yunyun smelled the filthy smell on it and immediately blushed. However, Shaoyan repeatedly pushed the handkerchief into her hand, so she had to reluctantly accept it.
It's a 'good intention', although it smells unpleasant, but I feel happy in my heart
Sure enough, with Yun Yun's advice, everyone finally escaped from this disaster. When the woods were almost burned, Shao Yan jumped on his horse and led the army across the river towards the woods. Everyone stepped on the remaining firewood on the ground.
The flames quickly got rid of this mysterious land. They stepped out of the ruins and were about to turn into an endless prairie. Suddenly they heard a burst of proud laughter coming from the front, and saw the middle-aged man holding a big knife blocking the way.
In the middle of the road, when he saw Shao Yan and others riding their horses, the middle-aged man showed a hint of excitement and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting here for a long time."
"It's you again, you're not dead?" Yunyun asked doubtfully
"Ms. Yunyun is joking. The best emperor is not dead, so how can his subordinates dare to take the first step?"
Yun Yun was furious: "How dare you, you are so rebellious, come and kill him."
Dozens of soldiers rushed over boldly. The middle-aged man put on an indifferent attitude, with a smile on his face, as if he didn't care about life and death at all. To be honest, there are not many people who are not afraid of death these days. Shao
Yan looked at him carefully and found that there was nothing special about this guy except that he was a bit uglier, fatter, and had a longer beard. However, on the ground not far from him, there were obviously several holes that had just been dug.
Combined with the traces of passing and the proud expression on the middle-aged man's face, Shao Yan guessed that there must be a scam. Before the soldiers got there, he shouted: "Be careful, there is a scam."
The soldiers had just recovered, when a bright light flashed across, followed by a loud bang, and a big explosion suddenly occurred on the ground under their feet. Dozens of soldiers were blown to pieces in the blink of an eye, and billowing dust filled the air.
In the atmosphere, a fishy smell of flesh and blood came one after another.
Shao Yan's initial judgment was that it was a big trap, but he didn't expect that there were actually landmines buried under the ground. His negligence caused dozens of soldiers to lose their lives in vain. Shao Yan was heartbroken, and he regretted his impulse even more.
The smoke gradually faded, and the middle-aged man laughed and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, there are explosives planted everywhere in this area. You'd better stay where you are, otherwise you will die today."
