It was late at night, and the light in the valley was dim, and normal people couldn't see far at all, but after the gold liquid transformed his physique, Liu Xiu could see far away in the dim and lightless situation.

I saw a group of people walking out of a camp tent in front of them, and in the center of the crowd were two men with their hands tied, looking at their dress, they should be the Hanzhong County Army, and around them, there were all barbarian women, looking at their appearance, many of them were already forty or fifty years old.

Under the push of the barbarian woman, the two county army men shouted and cursed as they walked. After a short time, the two were pushed closer to a row of wooden stakes.

These stakes, no longer visible in their original color, are black, and they are covered with mosquitoes and flies. On one side of it, there were several large wooden shelves with chains on them, all of which were also black.

Walking to the stake, the barbarian women pressed the two county army men to their knees, grabbed their hair, and let their heads stick to the stake, and a barbarian woman forty miles away held a machete, walked to the front of the two of them, swept her eyes over them, walked to the county army man on the left, and then spat on the palm, rubbed her hands, held the knife handle, raised the machete high, and aimed it at the neck of the county army man to chop down.

Just as the machete was about to fall from the sky, a strong wind suddenly flew from the oblique side, and before the barbarian woman could figure out what was going on, she heard a crack, and a stone half the size of a palm was smashing against the top of her temple.

The force of this stone was so great that it knocked out the skull of the barbarian woman, and her body was still standing in place, but the man was already dying.

After a few moments, there was a pop, and the burly body of the barbarian woman fell straight upright, blood and brains spilled all over the ground.

The surrounding barbarian women were all shocked, they all screamed, and subconsciously looked around, just now they didn't see clearly where the stone flew from.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared behind a camp tent not far away.

The speed of this figure is really like a cheetah pounced. The barbarian women only felt that as soon as they saw a flower, the black shadow had already arrived in front of them, and with it, a fishy and unpleasant smell rushed towards them.

At the same time as the man arrived, the black shadow's fist also arrived, and he slammed both fists into the chests of the two barbarian women.

They both screamed and flew upside down. The surrounding women roared angrily, slashing at the black shadow.

Whew, smm, smm! Several scimitars slashed through the air in unison, and the black shadow flashed out of the gap between them. He reached the back of a barbarian woman, grabbed the back of the other's neck and waist with both hands, and slammed it outward, and then he heard a sound, and the barbarian woman flew four meters away, and fell to the ground with a thud, and could no longer stand up.

Immediately afterward, he kicked to the left and right, and two more women flew out upside down. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two remaining barbarian women turned their heads and wanted to run, but the black shadow took three steps and two steps, ran behind the two of them, reached out with both hands, grabbed the back of their necks, and as soon as their arms were closed, they heard a bang, and the heads of the two girls hit together, their eyes rolled and they both fainted.

Seven or eight barbarian women, in the blink of an eye, were all beaten to the ground by the black shadow.

The two men of the county army, who were originally kneeling on the ground with their heads on a wooden stake, both raised their heads, looked at the black shadow in shock and horror, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts: What kind of monster is this?

Even if people wear night clothes, they are only black, but this black shadow in front of them is not only black, but also black on his face and hands, and it is so black that it is shiny and shiny, and it also exudes a fishy and unpleasant smell, no wonder the two county army men will mistake him for a monster.

This black shadow is none other than Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu didn't know how scary she was now. He looked around and saw no other barbarians, he walked quickly to the two county army men and asked, "Are you two okay?" ”

As Liu Xiu approached, the two county army men shrank in fright and stammered, "You...... Are you a human or a ghost? ”

fell into the hands of the barbarians, and the two of them still had the courage to shout and scold, but in front of the demons and monsters, the two of them didn't even have the courage to scold.

Liu Xiu was almost amused by the question of the two of them, and stretched out his hand to untie the rope on the two of them.

However, seeing his hand stretched out, the two county army men invariably shrank back.

At this time, Liu Xiucai found that he still had those black and stinky oil stains on his body, no wonder the two of them asked themselves if they were humans or ghosts!

He coughed dryly and said cheekily: "Don't worry, I'm a human being, not a ghost, these are just disguises I made!" ”

"You?"

"I'm the Xiangyang Rebels!"

"Xiangyang Rebels? You...... Are you Liu Xuan's subordinate? ”

"Liu Xiu is my eldest brother, my name is Liu Xiu!"

Hearing this, the two county army men involuntarily opened their mouths, looked at Liu Xiu again, and couldn't help asking, "What are you wiping on your body?" ”

"Sludge." Liu Xiu replied casually, and then quickly untied the rope on the wrists of the two of them.

Sure that Liu Xiu was a human being, not a ghost, and a rebel army, the two county army men were completely relieved, and at the same time breathed a long sigh of relief, as the rope was untied, the two of them rubbed their red and swollen wrists, bowed down, and said, "Thank you Brother Liu for saving your life!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome! ”

"Brother Liu, you are strong, you are a good person to the end, and save the other brothers!"

"Anyone else captured?" Liu Xiu asked in surprise.

The two men of the county army showed a look of grief and indignation together, and said: "In the battle three days ago, we were captured by more than 1,000 people, but now there are not even 500 people, and those brothers were killed by the barbarians, and they were ......."

Speaking of this, there were tears in the eyes of the two of them, and they couldn't go on.

Why are the wooden stakes and shelves black? It was all washed and blackened by blood over and over again, the blood of the soldiers of the county army.

Three days?! It turned out that he was in a coma for three days at once! Liu Xiu was startled at first, and then followed the line of sight of the two of them to look at the wooden stakes and wooden frames next to him, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

He asked, "How many barbarians are there here?" ”

The two county soldiers sniffed and rubbed the tears in their eyes, and one of them said: "The barbarians have gone to attack the county town, and those who remain here are all barbarian women, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. ”

Another county soldier said, "By the way, the old patriarch of the Xie clan is also here!" ”

"The Hitch?"

"The barbarians here are all members of the Xie tribe of the Ugo country, and there are almost more than 20,000 people from top to bottom."

Liu Xiu nodded, on the way from Tin County to the county seat, they had been attacked by barbarians, and those elite barbarians were from the country of Ugo.

The man of the county army continued: "The leader of the Xie's army is called Xietu, and he is the son of the old patriarch Xiesan! ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, his mind suddenly moved, and the first sentence that flashed in his mind was 'capture the thief and capture the king first'. He asked, "Where is Shetu now?" ”

The man of the county army replied: "I have already taken the barbarian army to attack the county city!" ”

Liu Xiu asked puzzledly, "Why do you know so clearly about the situation of the barbarian army?" ”

The man of the county army replied: "Our Lord Sima knows the barbarian language, and when the barbarians were chatting outside, Lord Sima secretly heard it. ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Who is your Lord Sima?" ”

"Gaiyan Gaisi!"

Gai Yan was a fierce general in the army of Hanzhong County, and he originally did not serve in Hanzhong, but served on the border of Shu County. Gai Yan has great strength, can pull a hard bow of hundreds of catties, has strong martial arts, and is brave and good at fighting.

On the battlefield, Gaiyan behaved extremely bravely, often taking the lead, rushing to the front, and was very famous in the border area.

Later, Gai Yan was appreciated by Tang Heng, and was transferred to Hanzhong County by Tang Heng, and let Gai Yan be a Peng official in the Duwei Mansion, in layman's terms, he is the second-in-command of the Duwei Mansion, which is equivalent to the deputy Du Wei.

Gaiyan's bravery and aggressiveness were both his strengths and weaknesses, and later generations commented on him as 'pitiful and despised the enemy how deep he went, not as good as the king's army'.

The reason why Gaiyan was captured this time was also because of his rash depths. When the county army was surrounded by barbarian legions, he rushed into the barbarian army with a black eye.

Gaiyan is indeed brave, holding a long knife, killing the enemy, rushing left and right, no one can stop him, the barbarians who were cut by him, to say the least, must have hundreds of people, this is still too dense in the woods, his long knife can not be fully deployed.

Later, the barbarians threw layers of fishing nets at Gaiyan's body, wasting the power of Niu Jiuer Tiger before he could be captured.

For the other captives, the barbarians were only tied with ropes, but as for Gaiyan, the barbarians used iron to restrain him for the first time.

You must know that the iron smelting technology of the barbarians is very poor, iron is a scarce thing for the barbarians, and it can be used on the captives, which is considered a big deal.

Liu Xiu had never heard of Gai Yan, and thought that he was just an ordinary Sima in the county army. He pondered for a moment and said, "You two go to rescue the other county army brothers, and I'll go find Shesang!" ”

The two men of the county army were shocked when they heard this, and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do with the patriarch of the barbarians?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "So many barbarian troops have attacked the county town, and now the county town must be in danger, only by holding Xesang, it is possible to make Xetu withdraw the army!" ”

The two men of the county army showed a look of sudden realization, pondered for a while, and then the two of them looked at each other and said, "Let's go with you!" ”

"You two go save people first!" Liu Xiuzheng said.

"But...... There are quite a few guards guarding us......" said the two county soldiers with red faces. Letting the two of them save people is tantamount to letting the two of them go back to die.

Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Then let's go and capture Xiesang first and force the barbarians to release them!" ”

This time, the two county soldiers did not say a word, and each picked up a scimitar used by barbarians from the ground.

Liu Xiu also picked up a knife and asked, "Do you two know where Xiesan lives?" ”

The two county army men said in unison: "It must be the Chinese military tent in the center of the camp." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, and sneaked towards the center of the barbarian camp with the two county soldiers.
