Chapter 19: Rescue Again

After Liu Xiu and the four of them looked at it, even Li Tong, who was the least courageous, unconsciously clenched the hilt of the short sword with his hand, and his body was suddenly trembling, and he was angry.

I had only heard of barbarians being cruel before, but to what extent they were cruel, after all, I had never seen them with my own eyes.

In today's battle with the barbarians, Li Tong killed more than 100 people on the other side, and Li Tong was still a little unbearable, and now, he really wanted to kill all the barbarians.

Liu Xiu was also angry and hateful, the roots of his teeth were itching, and he deliberately pulled the grass beside him.

Boom --

With the sound of grass, several barbarians around the campfire turned their heads to look at each other. Immediately afterwards, two barbarians stood up, holding scimitars, and walked over to Liu Xiu and the four of them to check.

As soon as the two of them walked up to Liu Xiu and the others, before they could see what was going on, Long Yuan and Zhang Ping had both shot out of the grass, and at the same time, their swords pierced the chests of the two barbarians in no particular order.

Liu Xiu also rushed out of the grass and ran straight to the three barbarians who were still sitting by the bonfire.

"Ahh

The other two barbarians roared angrily and slashed at Liu Xiu with their knives. The latter turned around and flashed to the back of a brute, and the long sword stabbed out, piercing through the opponent's lower back, and the tip of the sword poked out in front of his belly.

Liu Xiu didn't stop for a moment, kicked the corpse hanging on the long sword and flew out, pulled out the long sword, and slashed at the top of the other barbarian's head.

The brute hurriedly parried with his sword. When! With a crisp sound, the brute was shocked and took two steps back, just in time to retreat near the two women who were being bound.

The barbarian roared and slashed at the two of them, but before his knife fell on the second girl's body, Long Yuan stepped forward and stabbed his throat directly with a clean sword.

Poof!

The corpse sat on its knees, then fell forward, blood gushing down his neck and spreading on the ground.

Li Tong trotted up to the two women, untied the ropes on the two of them, and then looked at the headless female corpse still roasting on the bonfire, he roared angrily and pushed the shelf hard.

The two women who were rescued hugged each other and sat on the ground crying.

Liu Xiu looked at Long Yuan and Zhang Ping, and pointed to the left and right, and the two of them understood, and walked to the left and right sides respectively, fully guarded to prevent other barbarians from suddenly rushing out. Liu Xiu walked up to the second daughter, waited for a while, and saw that the emotions of the two of them had calmed down a bit, so Fang opened his mouth and asked, "Are there any brute soldiers nearby?" ”

The second daughter looked at Liu Xiu with teary eyes, only sobbing vigorously, and was already speechless.

Liu Xiu sighed secretly, feeling that he couldn't ask anything for the time being, he asked Li Tong to help, and the two of them dug a pit in the ground with their swords, and buried the headless female corpse that was almost roasted, along with the severed head inserted in the side, in the pit.

The two of them had just dug the pit, and before they could put the body inside, a woman stood up tremblingly and asked with a crying voice, "Excuse me, ...... you are?"

"Xiangyang Rebels." Li Tong replied.

Hearing that they were rebels, the two women muttered again, but this time the crying should be regarded as crying with joy.

After a while, the woman who asked just now wiped the tears on her face, saluted Liu Xiu and Li Tongfu, and said with a crying voice: "Little girl, thank you for the life-saving grace of a few sons, I don't know how many sons have a big name?" ”

Listening to her words, she doesn't look like an ordinary woman, but more like a well-educated lady.

Liu Xiu and Li Tong looked at this woman closely, she was not very old, she looked two or three years younger than Liu Xiu and Li Tong, her skin was fair, and her appearance was also beautiful.

The woman standing next to her was about the same age as her, although she was not as beautiful as her, but she was also a beautiful woman.

Liu Xiu said: "Under Liu Xiu." ”

Li Tong also reported his name, and by the way, pointed to Long Yuan and Zhang Ping on both sides, and said: "His name is Long Zhongbo, and his name is Zhang Ping." ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Are you injured?" ”

The beautiful woman shook her head, although the two of them were disheveled, they were not damaged, and they were only kidnapped, not bullied by the barbarians.

"Where is the girl from?"

"The little woman's name is Ye Qingqiu, a native of Hanzhong County."

Yo! That's a coincidence! They're getting ready to go to the county tomorrow! Liu Xiu looked at the woman beside her and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Ye Qingqiu said: "Her name is Man'er, and Man'er and Xiaofan are my maids. ”

"Xiao Fan?" Liu Xiu looked at her puzzled.

Ye Qingqiu's eyes were immediately covered with another layer of mist, and he cried loudly.

The maid named Man'er pointed to the roasted female corpse, cried again, and said, "Xiaofan has been killed by them, and ...... ......" she couldn't go any longer, and began to cry.

Alas! Liu Xiu and Li Tong sighed secretly, now they feel that the more than 100 barbarians who died during the day are not wronged at all, these barbarians are simply inhumane, and it is not an exaggeration to break their corpses into thousands of pieces, and to scatter their bones and ashes.

There is a difference between men and women, looking at the master and servant who couldn't cry, Liu Xiu and Li Tong couldn't come forward to comfort them, the two looked at each other, and they could only bury the poor maid named Xiaofan first.

It didn't take long for Long Yuan and Zhang Ping to walk back, shake their heads at Liu Xiu, and say, "There should be no other barbarians in the woods!" ”

Ye Qingqiu and Man'er stopped crying, and thanked Long Yuan and Zhang Pingfu again.

Liu Xiu asked, "Are they the only ones who kidnapped you?" ”

Ye Qingqiu nodded, and then said nervously: "They came here as if they were going to join another group of companions. ”

Liu Xiu and the four of them looked at each other, and estimated that the companions of these barbarians were the two teams of barbarians they met during the day.

Li Tong said with a smile: "You two don't have to worry, their companions were all wiped out by our Xiangyang Rebels as early as this morning." ”

When Ye Qingqiu and Man'er heard this, they suddenly showed surprise.

Liu Xiu asked curiously, "Can Miss Ye understand barbarian language?" ”

Ye Qingqiu's face was slightly red, and he whispered: "The little girl has learned some at home. ”

What to do in learning Barbarian? Liu Xiu didn't want to ask too much, nodded his head, and asked, "How were you kidnapped by the barbarians?" ”

Ye Qingqiu said: "We originally lived in my uncle's house in Zhuxi, but later the barbarians invaded Hanzhong, and there were often barbarians near Zhuxi...... As a result, on the way, we were ambushed by these barbarians, and the people sent by my uncle to escort us were all killed by these barbarians! ”

Liu Xiu asked, "So, do you have a place to go now?" ”

Ye Qingqiu and Man'er were afraid that Liu Xiu and the others would leave them here, so the former hurriedly asked, "I wonder if the four benevolent dukes can send us to the county town?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "We live in Tin County temporarily, tomorrow morning, just going to the county town, if the two girls don't dislike it, they will go to the post station in Tin County with us for a night, and then we will leave for the county town tomorrow morning." ”

Ye Qingqiu and Man'er were overjoyed and responded again and again.

Before leaving, Ye Qingqiu and Man'er knelt in front of Xiaofan's grave and worshipped.

Walking out of Baishan, on the way back to Tin County, Liu Xiu said: "When you get to Tin County, you just need to say that you were rescued by us near Tin County, don't mention the matter of White Mountain." ”

Man'er looked puzzled, and didn't understand why Liu Xiu wanted them to lie.

Ye Qingqiu was very sensible, and responded: "Liu Gongzi, please rest assured, if Liu Gongzi doesn't let us say it, we won't say a word." Hearing this, Man'er nodded again and again.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "We are in Baishan, we have some private matters to deal with, and we don't want others to know. ”

Ye Qingqiu said: "Liu Gongzi doesn't need to explain these to us, Liu Gongzi is the life-saving benefactor of me and Man'er, and Liu Gongzi's explanation, Man'er and I will definitely keep it in mind." ”

Liu Xiu glanced at her and nodded secretly, this is a well-informed rich lady!

Without saying a word all the way, they successfully returned to Tin County.

Late at night, the city gate of Tin County had already been closed, but fortunately, Liu Xiu and others had military cards on them, and Zhang Ping also carried the military card of the tun chief, and it was smooth to enter the city.

They returned to the post station and found the post manager, the steward of the post station, and asked him to arrange a room for Ye Qingqiu and Man'er.

Hearing that Ye Qingqiu and Man'er were rescued by them outside the city, the Chengyi officials almost laughed, feeling that the Xiangyang Righteous Army had arrived in Hanzhong, and it seemed that they had done nothing else to save the woman.

Seeing that the post keeper was contemptuous, Li Tong brought in a large package from outside. The black light was blinding, and the postman also saw the color of the large package clearly, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Loot!" Li Tong said.

The officer's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "What booty have you all captured from the barbarians?" ”

Li Tong smiled, opened the big package in three or two times, and the postman looked down, his face changed suddenly, and he almost vomited out his dinner.

It turned out that the package was full of bloody human heads, and there were as many as five in total. It may be that the human head has just been cut off, and there is still blood dripping from the broken neck.

Li Tong smiled and asked, "Would you like a share of our spoils?" ”

The postman didn't say a word, covered his mouth, waved his hand again and again, walked to the side, held his hand against the wall, and retched.

How many barbarians have been killed, not just with their mouths, but with their heads. Liu Xiu and others came to Tin County, and the main reason why they brought severed fingers was that the heads of the barbarians had to be sent to the county lieutenant Peng Yong to ask for merit.

After vomiting for a while, the Chengyi official recovered a little, and looked at Liu Xiu and the others with no contempt. Liu Xiu smiled at Li Tong and asked the officer, "Can the adults arrange a room for the two of her now?" ”

"Good, good, good, I ...... I'll arrange it. The postman nodded in response, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The poster took Ye Qingqiu and Man'er away, and the four of them also came to Liu Xiu's room together.

Before he could sit down, Li Yi knocked on the door outside, he glanced around at everyone curiously, and finally his eyes fell on Li Tong and asked, "Dimension, you and Uncle Wen walked together?" ”

Li informed that his cousin was not big-eyed, he had already thought of what to say, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wen, they didn't want to take me, I secretly followed." ”

"I heard you rescued two women?"

"And killed five barbarians!" Li Tong pretended to be enthusiastic and said.
