Chapter 67: Catching the Turtle in the Urn(1/2)
The armored soldiers are wreaking havoc and showing off their power!
The entire Jiangning County is closed to all four gates.
Fierce tooth soldiers appear in the streets and alleys one after another.
"A bandit has entered the city!"
"A bandit has entered the city!!"
"The general has an order to close the city gate!"
"The general has an order to close the city gate!!"
One by one, armored cavalry were shouting loudly in the streets and alleys of the county.
Groups of soldiers, brutally and violently, knocked on every house.
Households of common people in Guizhou shivered and remained silent in front of these fierce armored soldiers.
…………
In the north of the city, there is an old house in a deep alley.
This house looks like an ordinary small house.
The stone steps are covered with moss, and the old and broken door is half-covered.
On the surface, this mansion seems to be a pool of stagnant water, but at a glance, there are some strong figures walking back and forth in it.
Gao Tianbao's face turned green. After drinking all the rice wine in the bowl, he threw it down hard.
The clay bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a 'pop' sound, and the fragments flew away.
"Fang, Guo, Duan!!"
He gritted his teeth and said viciously.
After taking two heavy breaths, Gao Tianbao said gloomily: "He is trying to push me to death!"
Four doors were closed and the army searched!
Searching from house to house throughout Jiangning County.
Gao Tianbao never expected that Xun Shaoyu's reaction would be so sharp and effective.
Hateful!
If there hadn't been a curfew last night and there was still a large amount of gold and silver that was difficult to transfer, he wouldn't be as passive as he is now.
Now, he was blocked in the city, unable to advance or retreat, and was in danger of being killed.
The more he thought about it, the more he hated it. Gao Tianbao's eyes suddenly turned a little bloodshot.
The men looked grave and said, "Brother, we can't wait any longer. Fang Guoduan is determined to take care of us all."
"Jiangning County is not our Fengtai Mountain after all. Once we fall into that guy's hands..."
The man looked ugly and said hesitantly: "We may not be able to return to Fengtai intact!"
"No way?"
Someone hesitated and said: "We in Gaojiazhai, Fengtai Mountain, and their rebels are not in conflict with each other, so there is no need to have a life-or-death feud, right?"
The man hummed: "We don't dare to bet!"
No one is willing to entrust their wealth and life to the thoughts of others.
Gao Tianbao gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go!!"
Although this old house has a month's worth of food for five to sixty people.
They don't have to worry about food and clothing.
However, whenever he thought of the battle he saw when he just left the house, he felt a little like a ray of light on his back and felt restless.
He didn't think that by hiding in an old house, he could escape the search of the army.
When Gao Tianbao comes to a critical moment, he is also decisive and leaves as soon as he says it.
"Throw away all the grass and grain that were harvested last night."
His eyes were dark: "Even if we are unlucky, our work has been in vain."
Even though these men were unwilling to give in, their lives were at stake, so they had no choice but to comply.
Suddenly, Gao Tianbao's expression changed slightly, his eyes looked around, his pupils suddenly condensed, and he said sharply: "Where is Heizi?"
Heizi is the police post arranged by Gao Tianbao outside the alley. Every time it is tea time, he will report the news.
now……
"Kuroko?"
Several people were stunned when they heard this, and then their expressions changed drastically: "Not good!"
Since Heizi could trust Gao Tianbao with his safety, how could he break the promise casually?
"problem occurs……"
Gao Tianbao's ears moved and his body retreated without hesitation.
Duh! Duh! Duh!
At this moment, arrows one after another penetrated the hemp paper of the window lattice and shot into the house.
Gao Tianbao's kung fu has reached the realm of small achievements. His body is as flexible as a cunning rabbit, shrinking and moving around.
Arrows continued to shoot into the house, and within a moment, hundreds of arrows were planted on the ground.
The other men didn't have Gao Tianbao's martial arts skills, and they certainly weren't as able to dodge and move as cleanly as Gao Tianbao.
In an instant, several men's chests were penetrated by one or two arrows, bringing out bloody flowers.
…………
Chunyang Lane,
Tread! Tread! Tread!
A soldier was wandering in the streets.
Zhao Wenyuan was dressed in black armor, his eyes were like those of a falcon, and he looked heroic.
Zhao Xunan followed Zhao Wenyuan with an apologetic smile.
In troubled times, military power is the most important!
Even if Zhao Xunan is a criminal and arrogant person, when facing Zhao Wenyuan, the chief officer of the first battalion, he can only be cautious and smile at the side.
Moreover, this Zhao Wenyuan was still Xun Shaoyu. He had an old relationship with him when he was still young, and the friendship was different.
Zhao Xunan was able to work hard all the way from being a soldier to a soldier. With his status as a classic historian, he was naturally very good at maneuvering.
Zhao Wenyuan looked impressive and said: "I have heard for a long time that Zhao Dianshi is an official. When I see him today, he is really extraordinary!"
"These big thieves were extremely vigilant along the way, and I couldn't even catch them from head to tail."
"I didn't expect that Zhao Dianshi would find a flaw!"
Zhao Xun'an on the side immediately said humbly: "General Zhao Ying has defeated the lower official! This is because the 'superior' clearly sees thousands of miles, and the lower official is just running errands and beating hands. How can General Zhao Ying be so praised?"
"Hahaha……"
Zhao Wenyuan shook his head slightly: "You... who is the 'higher' person in our family? It should be your credit, it is your credit. How can you be blind to the truth and not know the truth?"
Although Zhao Xunan was flattering him all the way, Zhao Wenyuan looked down on this flattering person.
But Zhao Xunan is still capable of identifying the traces of bandits in a short period of time.
It really made Zhao Wenyuan look at him with admiration.
"Report..."
A team member was holding his fists and said: "Sir, the camp general, I have led my soldiers to eliminate all the bandits in the surrounding areas."
Zhao Wenyuan stretched out his hand and nodded slightly: "Surround this family. Don't neglect it."
"Here..."
The team responded and turned around to go down.
Zhao Wenyuan snorted coldly and said: "A mere bandit dares to attack Tai Sui. He really doesn't know how to live or die."
"Let those gangsters immediately put down their weapons and come out to wait for their fate, otherwise... they will be killed without mercy!"
He glanced at several corpses on the ground, which looked like they were dead.
A rack of crossbows was spread out, with shield soldiers in front, spear soldiers in the middle, and archers behind.
Fifty soldiers lined up to form square formations. The soldiers were ordered in order, and dozens of them acted as if they were one body.
There was a sound of pieces of armor shaking, and the bowstring was stretched tightly.
After waiting for a while, the old house was still silent, not a trace of movement could be heard.
To be continued...
