Chapter 470: Rescuing the Civilians
Master Qiao came out of the tulou and walked to the schoolyard, and the people who saw him were extremely respectful to him.
"What are you doing, arguing for me to sleep."
A well-dressed and clean man rubbed his hands and greeted him with a grin, "I'm sorry, Master Qiao, I woke you up." ”
"I know I'm sorry, why don't you get things done quickly?" Master Qiao was not angry, and glanced around, "What the hell are you doing?" ”
"There's a spy who has come in and is trying to find out someone."
"Spies?" Master Qiao frowned, "Aren't you very well-prepared, and you can still sneak in?" ”
"You know, there aren't that many guards during the day, and somehow someone gets in...... The little ones are also hurrying to check it, although the West Night Ancient City is big, but as long as they come in, don't think about going out, sooner or later they will catch us and add vegetables. ”
Master Qiao looked at the little soldier who was interrogated about his name and other circumstances, and sneered: "With your posture, the spies dare to sneak in here?" ”
"Uh...... Master Qiao, what do you mean by that? ”
"Of course I'm going to check on those slaves! They don't even have names, they are all dirty, and they are the hardest to be found in them, don't you think? ”
"After the execution of the spy last time, who knows if anyone will dare to come? We were too nervous too. ”
"Alas, it's hard to make a big deal like this." Master Qiao looked distressed.
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Master Qiao pointed out: "I have a suggestion, you drive those civilians to the open space above, let them report suspicious people themselves, those spies are in danger, and they think that they will have a chance to escape when they get to the top, and they will definitely show their feet." Catch the spy and execute him on the spot to deter the spy accomplices who are hiding outside. ”
Master Qiao was deeply trusted by General Meng, and his suggestion was already quite good, but after the man heard it, he praised the heavens, "Master Qiao is really extremely smart and admirable!" ”
"Then you don't do what I say?" Master Qiao rolled his eyes, beckoned to the previous person, and walked towards the ruins of the palace.
When the men saw this, they were afraid that he would tell General Meng about these things, so they hurriedly called some people and hurried to the open space where the civilians had gathered.
The civilians screamed in fright and shrank into a ball when they saw them running murderously.
"Don't argue, don't argue!" The leader scolded, "If you make any more noise, I'll cut off your heads!" ”
In the open space, there was a chilling silence.
The man shouted to his men and drove all the civilians out into the open space through a secret passage.
"I'll tell you!" He crossed his waist and looked at the vast yellow sand, as if he was sure that there were many spies lying in ambush under the yellow sand at this moment and watching them, "The spies are hiding in the crowd, I will pull them out now and break them into pieces!" ”
The civilians had not seen the light of day for a long time, and when they were looking up at the sky with longing, they suddenly shrank their necks in fright when they heard the man's words, and hugged them together in panic.
"I advise the spies to come out obediently, otherwise I will kill all these civilians! If these people die, they will all be your sins! ”
The civilians knelt down and kowtowed in unison.
"Spare us!"
"We are not spies, we are innocent, we will work hard, please don't kill me!"
"I beg you to do things all by yourself, and stand up for yourselves! Don't take our lives! ”
The cries came one after another, and the gangsters were proud when they heard it.
"Why don't you come out soon, what are you doing with a shrunken turtle? Do you have the ability to come out and fight? ”
"It's just that you have the ability to sneak in, but you don't have the ability to face us directly?"
Hiding behind the sand dunes not far away, Puyang had suppressed the surprise of so many people suddenly appearing in the ancient city, and after hearing those words, he turned around and asked General Teng beside him, "Why do I hurry up and those people are crying and shouting that it is the common people, is that group of people threatening us with their lives?" ”
"Yes." General Teng nodded, "Isn't it rumored that people often disappear in the ancient city of the West Night, and they must have been enslaved by those people." ”
"It's too miserable...... Pu Yang squinted his eyes, and after seeing the situation of the civilians clearly, he was surprised again, "I suspect that they haven't had a full meal for a few years, is this still human?" ”
General Teng asked, "Son, do you have any plans now?" ”
Puyang touched his chin, "Send someone to check the surroundings, if there is no one else, arrange archers and ...... them"
"I see." General Teng went to do it immediately.
"Why, don't you dare to come out?" At this time, the gangster grabbed a middle-aged woman's collar, and the long knife in his hand gestured at her neck, "Then I'll cut her body up now!" ”
The middle-aged woman screamed in horror.
"Still won't come out?" The gangster glanced at the civilians, everyone was kneeling and begging for mercy, and none of them stood up, he sneered and raised his knife.
The civilians closed their eyes in horror.
The other villains observed the expressions of the civilians, and at this time, only those who practiced martial arts would not be afraid.
However, they were disappointed.
This group of people is really hiding......
The gangsters gave each other a look, and the long knives were about to fall.
At this moment, several cold arrows struck, and the gangsters were caught off guard, and the feather arrows pierced their vital points one after another, and a miserable scream stuck in their throats, and they fell to the ground on their backs with wide eyes.
The civilians were even more frightened and screamed loudly.
Puyang rubbed his forehead with a headache, and General Teng led the soldiers to rush up to deal with the civilians.
A man jumped out of the crowd first and ran towards General Teng.
"General Teng, it's me, Tian Bin." Tian Bin ran and brushed away the broken hair in front of his face.
General Teng quickly stepped up, came to Tian Bin, and asked in surprise: "What about His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what about the others?" ”
"They're still in the ancient city, and they'll be out soon." Tian Bin spoke quickly, "Now, the remnants of the previous dynasty are all below, quickly arrange the fierce fire oil, and we will launch into the palace from above, completely destroy the ancient city of the West Night, and let all the remnants of the previous dynasty be buried underground!" ”
General Teng's expression was grim, and he ordered some people to help the civilians, and some people to prepare fierce fire oil.
The civilians did not relieve, and followed the guidance of the soldiers in a daze, and fled behind the sand dunes, while the barrels containing the fierce fire oil were stacked next to the pit, and the amount of fierce fire oil and the location of the placement were particular, too little to destroy the ancient city of the West Night, too much will cause a huge earthquake, causing quicksand, then none of them in the surrounding area can survive.
A fuse was placed next to the fire oil barrel, and a number of people were ambushed around the exit.
By the time everything was fine, almost half an hour had passed.
The atmosphere was tense unconsciously, and everyone looked at the broken tower.
Puyang waited and asked, "Why haven't you seen the King of Chu come back?" He stared at Tian Bin solemnly, "Are they okay, and if so, what are they going to do?" ”
Tian Bin waited a little anxiously, pondered for a while, and replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu went down to arrest General Meng, the leader of this group of remnants of the previous dynasty, he is the one who knows the most, and he needs to stay alive." ”
