Chapter 543: Killing in the Night
In Chang'an City, the mansion engaged in Zhonglang's strict etiquette.
More than a dozen officials forcibly broke into the mansion and searched everywhere.
Hearing the sound outside, Yan Li, who had already slept and came out in a plain robe, Rao was a very well-educated person on weekdays, and at this moment he couldn't help but have an angry face, and asked these bold officials: "What do you want to trespass into the mansion of a court official in the middle of the night!" ”
In the face of Yan Li's angry rebuke, the leading official had no fear, arched his fist in the direction of the palace, and said with some arrogance: "In accordance with the holy edict of the Son of Heaven, purge Lu Bu's henchmen." ”
Then, his face changed, his fingers saluted, and he whispered: "Take it down for me!" ”
Several soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and prepared to escort Yan Li.
"If you don't do it, I'll go by myself." Yan Li had already understood at this time that these messengers dared to be so bold, and the people behind the scenes must be not small.
Brother-in-law, still too young.
Yan Li shook his head and walked out, the party struggle in the government and the opposition has always been an undercurrent, once there is a showdown, one party will disappear and be erased.
Now it seems that it is Lu Bu's side that loses.
Not only the Yan Mansion, but other officials such as the Zhaoxian Pavilion or those recommended and appointed by Lu Bu were all attacked and arrested on charges of forming a party for personal gain.
The officials had just escorted Yan Li out of the house, when the sound of horses' hooves came from the street, and a cavalry army of dozens of people blocked their path.
"Who are you?"
The leader's heart sank, and he asked loudly, as far as he knew, there were no cavalry members in the action team tonight.
After Li Feng separated from Cao Xing, he divided his 500 cavalry into ten squads and went to various places in the city to clear them. Now that he has bumped into these officials outside the Yan Mansion, it is Wen Hou's brother-in-law who has been arrested, and his end can only be silent for them.
"Kill!"
Li Feng drew his knife in his hand and gave orders in his mouth, short and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Before these officials could react, dozens of war horses had already collided, and the group of soldiers on horseback rushed forward like tigers and wolves, biting and tearing their bodies.
On the other hand, these officials of the government are okay with bullying the people and catching small thieves on weekdays, how can they be these fierce opponents who have been tempered by the smoke of beacon fire, not to mention that they also ride high-headed horses and have the upper hand in terms of conditions.
In less than a stick of incense, all the officials here died, and none of them survived. Dozens of bodies lay on the ground, and no one collected them.
Li Feng didn't explain his identity to Yan Li, but just asked him not to go out of the house again after he returned to the house.
On Cao Xing's side, more than a dozen mansions have been cleared scattered and scattered, and every time he passes, he will definitely be slaughtered, regardless of men, women, old and children, leaving no one alive.
The resistance encountered during this period was almost negligible.
As far as they are concerned, it doesn't matter whether they are innocent or not, and those who stand opposite the general must die.
These large households, including their subordinates, range from hundreds to nearly a thousand.
Along the way, my hands were a little numb.
When he came to the next mansion, Cao Xing, who was riding on horseback, looked up and asked Ma Zhong beside him: "Sima Mansion, is there this one?" ”
The two fathers and sons in the courtyard were beating wildly in their hearts.
Not far to the right of the mansion is Youji's Shangshu Mansion, although the killing sound just now was not loud, but his father and son heard it clearly, and it was clearly from your mansion.
At this moment, hearing the inquiry outside, the father and son even raised their hearts to their throats.
Even ready to fight to the death.
Ma Zhong spread out the 'Book of Life and Death' in his hand and took a look, only to see a conspicuous red circle drawn on Sima Fang's name, and shook his head slightly at Cao Xing.
"Let's go, next."
Cao Xuan withdrew his gaze from the plaque in Sima Mansion, urging the horse forward, he still has to be busy tonight!
Hearing the movement outside, the father and son in Sima Mansion breathed a long sigh of relief, and their clenched fists gradually relaxed.
Almost, it's the disaster of annihilation.
"Boda, tomorrow you will take your mother, younger brother and clansmen back to Hanoi, whether it is to study or farm, and never come to Chang'an again."
After coming to Chang'an for so long, Sima Fang has never been as powerless as he is today, it is a real 'man is a knife, I am a fish and meat'.
Chang'an's game of chess is too dangerous, since he can't be a chess player, he can only escape from this land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
At first, I thought that Huang Wan and others were in control, but now it seems that it is a big mistake.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu, a descendant, was even more ruthless.
Even if Cao Xing and the others did not name their identities, old foxes like Sima Fang had already guessed that they were generals under Lu Bu.
It's just that 'everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and no one cares about the frost on the tiles', even if they know, no one dares to go out at this time to report the news, lest they get into trouble.
South of Chang'an City, Ganquan Palace.
In the brightly lit palace, there was a sudden burst of shouts, and the Son of Heaven on the bed grabbed his hands and danced, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he shouted in horror with a pale face: "Come quickly, save me!" Save! ”
The attendant in the palace heard the sound, hurriedly stepped forward to approach the bed, and called out with a worried face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
If the Son of Heaven has a good case, he will not be far from raiding his family and destroying the clan.
Hearing the shout, Liu Xie suddenly opened his eyes, his chest rose and fell sharply, and what caught his eye was the familiar face of the waiter Han Xuan, and the bright light in the hall finally calmed down the young man.
In a trance, Liu Xie heard the sound of horses' hooves, thinking that Dong Zhuo led the army into Chang'an, so he was extremely excited.
Obviously, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing in the past caused a great shadow of fear to the young heart of this young son of heaven.
"I think I heard the sound of horses' hooves." Liu Xie rubbed his eyes and said uncertainly.
Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then comforted the young Son of Heaven with kind words: "Your Majesty, you may be suffering from lack of sleep and auditory hallucinations. Imagine, this is the imperial capital of Chang'an, who dares to ride horses in the imperial city, not to mention that it is late at night, there are no pedestrians on the street, how can there be the sound of horses' hooves? ”
Han Xuan's rhetoric was flawless.
Liu Xie thought about it, and quickly fell asleep again.
In the Lu Mansion, more than 200 thugs have entered the inner court. Even if Li Hei and other government guards went all out, it was difficult to save the defeat, and many people were colored.
The group of killers who rushed into the mansion were all outlaws, and they were all good at the top, and they were completely suppressed in terms of numbers, so there was hardly much pressure to fight.
In order to capture Lu Bu's wife and daughter, Huang Wan's gang can be described as painstaking.
Nanen Garden.
Wow~Wow~~
Hee-hee ~ hee hee hee ~
In a certain room, two diametrically opposed children's voices sounded, the eldest son, who was woken up by the movement outside, was crying on the bed, and the little boy woke up, but he was laughing.
The fierce man who was fighting in the courtyard moved his ears, and immediately locked his eyes on the side of the cry, and shouted: "Over there, kill me with me!" ”
Yan Wei coaxed the crying Lu Zhen in the room, and when she heard the shouting and killing sound, her face was even more worried.
"Mother, don't be afraid, the little bell protects you!"
The little bell, dressed in a red robe, was full of morale, and held a small wooden halberd only three or four feet long in his hand, which looked like it was lying across his chest.
It was a birthday present from her father at the beginning of the year.
The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, if it weren't for Yan Wei to stop him, this little tiger cub probably would really dare to rush out and fight with those bad guys.
"Little bell, you are optimistic about the two younger brothers, and my mother will go out and have a look."
Yan Wei told her daughter, saying that she was not afraid that it would be a lie, but she had no choice at the moment. If her husband is not there, she will stand up to this family.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
The door opened, and two unfamiliar figures stood outside the door.
"Madam, there is danger outside, please go back to the house." The grim young man on the left said respectfully.
Yan Wei glanced at the two of them, her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Who are you, why haven't you seen them in the past?" ”
"Madam, the two of us are ordered to protect you, and as for my identity, it is inconvenient to reveal it to you."
Yan Wei was suspicious, looked in the direction of the courtyard, and asked softly, "What happened over there?" ”
"Don't worry, madam, it's just some troublesome thieves." The young man, codenamed 'Mao', replied very neatly.
Hearing this, Yan Wei felt a lot more relieved, even if she passed, she might not be able to help, and maybe it would be self-defeating. After some thought, he returned to his room.
On the other side of the courtyard, the fierce man is killing Yan Wei.
"That's it."
In the darkness, a figure walked out and stopped in front of them, it was Zhao Shu, who served as the commander of the dark guard.
"What are you!"
A fierce guy stepped forward, seeing that great achievements were imminent, how could they stop?
As soon as the words fell.
Shout!
In the darkness of the night, there was a sound of breaking the sky.
A featherless arrow flashed and flint, nailed straight through the man's eyebrows. The man who was shouting a second ago has fallen straight to the ground at this moment, except for his wide-eyed eyes, he has not moved for half a minute.
The group of people below immediately became fully alert, looking vigilantly at the rooftops and eaves around them. However, in the dark night, there was nothing to see except the darkness.
And they are in the reflection of the lantern candles, which is particularly conspicuous.
If there were a large number of archers on the eaves on all sides of the house, they would be shot into a sieve in an instant at the slightest command.
However, after that slam of the string, there was no movement. This gave them a new confidence, and there should be only a few archers on the other side.
Otherwise, they would not have survived until now.
"Brothers, don't be afraid, they don't have many archers, let's rush up, they can't help us, rush with me!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Seeing that these thugs were about to launch a rush, Zhao Shu's expression remained unchanged, and he bent his index finger unhurriedly, put it in his mouth and whistled.
In the darkness, whistle after whistle sounded, a full nine times.
The houses around Lu Mansion were lit up, one, two, three......
By the end, hundreds.
"Daddy, where are you going?"
Somewhere in the house, the child who woke up looked blankly at his father, who had changed into his clothes, and asked in a daze.
The honest-looking man did not answer, and put on his shoes and socks as quickly as he could.
"In the middle of the night, what kind of madness are you, you won't be able to plow the land tomorrow!" On the bed, the plump woman cursed loudly.
The man didn't hear it, pushed the door out, pulled out a tiger-headed knife from the courtyard outside, and walked out of the house.
He came to Chang'an two years ago and was arranged here, living an idle life of ploughing the land.
He didn't know why the above chose him, he thought that he would live his life like this in this way. Who would have thought that tonight, he would hear that whistle that haunted his dreams.
At that moment, the blood in his bones was rekindled.
When Lu Bu decided to base on Guanzhong, Xice had already begun to lay out, and this man was one of the chess pieces.
The moment the man walked onto the street with his sword, the street was already full of people, and there were four or five hundred people, carrying all kinds of weapons in their hands, walking together, with a fierce momentum.
Wherever they are going, they are all in the same direction. Among them were farmers ploughing the fields, blacksmiths with blacksmiths, handymen with hard work, and bartenders running errands...... In short, there are many kinds of wonders.
People who seem to have no intersection on weekdays, after seeing each other, there was a brief surprise, and then suddenly.
Their mission tonight is the same.
After tonight, they still won't have much to cross, and only when the lord's mansion is killed, will they be reunited and become brothers who fight side by side.
When they entered the Lu Mansion, the previous thugs suffered a great disaster.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention these soldiers who have not opened meat for two or three years.
Now that the opportunity is in front of me, it is natural to vent fiercely.
They are all selected fighters, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.
The battle was about to break out, and the moment the two groups of people and horses met, they broke out in the courtyard of the Lu Mansion.
Swords and swords, fighting back and forth.
In just half an hour, blood flowed all over the ground.
In the end, after paying more than half of the casualties, the rioters were completely lost their temper, and they all threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground and begged for their lives.
But do they have that chance?
The answer is no.
Zhao Shu ordered to kill them all.
At three o'clock, perhaps because of its proximity to the Imperial Palace, the streets south of the city were as deserted as ever.
Cao Xuan returned to the southern city with his soldiers and horses, and the soldiers who had dispersed when he came had also been assembled, except for thirty or forty people who were slightly injured, the others were all intact.
Cao Xing rode a horse and walked in front, looking quite tired, yawning again and again: "It's finally cleaned up, and you can sleep peacefully when you go back." ”
Ma Zhong looked through the names on the 'Book of Life and Death' and made sure that there was no one to draw again, so he carefully withdrew it into his arms.
Taking a deep breath, you can smell the thick blood that spreads everywhere.
Seeing Cao Xuan coming on horseback, the guards on the south tower of the city quickly ran down the city.
"General Pan, are you going out of the city?"
He saw that Cao Xing's body was mottled with blood, and he thought that he had completed the teacher's plan, so he asked curiously.
Syllable!
Cao Xing raised his hand and gave him a big mouth, and he couldn't find the north because of this person, and then said arrogantly: "Go and open the city gate, Lao Tzu is going back to General Yuan to receive credit!" ”
The general defending the city was obviously stunned by this slap, and while he was resentful in his heart, he didn't dare to turn his face on the spot, so he could only order someone to open the city gate aggrievedly. 8)
