After Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the law gradually lost its effectiveness, and thieves often took hostages, and then used the hostages as a threat to demand huge amounts of property.

Many people had to ransom people with money for the safety of the hostages, and this behavior made the thieves more and more rampant.

Later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered: Anyone who takes hostages, regardless of whether the hostages live or die, will be killed by thieves.

After the edict was issued, no one took hostages to demand money.

This group of thieves originally thought that Chen Xu and Dian Wei were the house slaves of the people who were held hostage, not the people of the government, so the house slaves would not dare to persecute them too much.

If the officers and soldiers are here, the thieves will certainly not take hostages, because the officers and soldiers will not care about the life or death of the hostages, as long as they can kill the thieves, it will be a great achievement.

They didn't expect that when they met a stunned young hostage, they didn't care whether they lived or died, and ordered the house slaves to just kill people.

And listening to what the hostages said, the two people in front of them can't get close even if they are hundreds, if they really go on a killing spree, although there are dozens of robbers, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist.

Chen Xu didn't know that there was still this 'no theft' law in the Han Dynasty, and he felt scared when he thought of his hijacking of the Zhang family's father and son.

If it weren't for a fluke, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to escape from Puyang City in the first place.

When Chen Xu kidnapped the Zhang family's father and son, there were no officers and soldiers present, although the Zhang family had many slaves, they did not dare to ignore the life and death of their master, which gave Chen Xu the opportunity to kidnap the Zhang family father and son to the city gate.

Although Wu Feng said that he could ignore the hostages and directly let people kill Chen Xu, Chen Xu was brave, and a few cavalrymen couldn't help Chen Xu at all, so he let him leave safely after killing.

Although there is this decree of 'no stealing', Chen Xu and Dian Wei still dare not step forward.

The Qiao family is kind to the two of them, if they forcibly kill the thief, it is difficult to guarantee that the thief will not kill Qiao Yu, and saving Qiao Yu's life is the first thing at the moment.

Glancing at each other, the two of them knew what to do behind them by virtue of their tacit understanding with each other, and they didn't speak, slowly approaching the thief.

The leader of the thieves was already shocked by the murderous aura on Chen Xu and Dian Wei, and when he saw that Chen Xu and the two dared to step forward, he suddenly panicked in his heart, and said in a restrained manner: "If you dare to move forward again, I will kill your master." ”

After speaking, the hand of the leader of the thieves holding the knife shook, and a trace of blood appeared on Qiao Yu's neck.

Chen Xu and Dian Wei stopped and didn't dare to step forward again.

Chen Xu looked at the distance, estimated that he was only a dozen meters away from the thief, and secretly gave Dian Wei and Qiao Yu a look.

Several people have been together for several months, they cherish each other, they know each other very well, and when they see Chen Xu's eyes, they know what he is going to do, so they secretly prepare.

The thieves were all behind Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu blinked, nodded imperceptibly, and Chen Xu knew that Qiao Yu understood what he was going to do.

No longer hesitating at the moment, Chen Xu first pretended to be disdainful, his eyes were erratic, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "I'm waiting, I'm not a slave of this person, you, how ridiculous is it that you threaten us with him?" ”

His appearance, a discerning person knew at a glance that he was talking nonsense, and sure enough, those thieves were stunned at first, and then laughed.

"Boy, you still want to deceive us with this little trick of yours?"

The thieves felt that they had seen through Chen Xu's tricks, and they all laughed proudly, and some even laughed at Chen Xu's acting skills to the extreme.

"Kill!"

Just as they were laughing proudly, Chen Xu and Dian Wei roared in unison, shouting and killing like thunder, and many thieves only felt their ears buzzing.

Chen Xu first deliberately exposed the flaws so that the thieves could see through them, and when they were very proud, they would inevitably relax their vigilance, and the roars of Chen Xu and Dian Wei made them a little overwhelmed for a while.

Chen Xu took advantage of this opportunity to kill Scarface who was holding Qiao Yu on the left with an arrow, and Dian Wei shot a flying halberd, which resulted in the leader of the thieves, and then the two of them pounced like big birds.

Between the lightning and the fire, the two leaders of the thieves died, and the rest of the thieves saw Chen Xu and the two pounce, they were shocked and angry, and they picked up weapons and wanted to kill Qiao Yu first.

When Qiao Yu saw Chen Xu's eyes, he had been on high alert, and seeing the death of the two people who held him hostage, he immediately picked up a weapon and stopped the attack of a thief.

The other thieves were about to kill Qiaoyu together, and Chen Xu and Dian Wei had already arrived.

Chen Xu's spear was like a dragon, splashing blood flowers wherever it passed.

Dian Wei's wooden halberd had already been changed into an iron weapon by Qiao Yu, and with his incomparable divine power, there was no enemy under him.

The two of them were like tigers entering a flock, killing dozens of thieves in a row, and Qiao Yu also picked up his captured long sword and killed one person.

When the rest of the thieves saw this, they were all frightened and fled in all directions.

Chen Xu pulled his bow and arrows and shot four people in a row; Qiao Yu's archery skills are also extraordinary, picking up his hunting bow and arrows and shooting two people; Dian Wei's flying halberd is also a good example.

In a moment, only one thief remained.

"This man runs so fast, my bow and arrow can't shoot that far."

As soon as Qiao Yu's arrow missed, he was about to throw away the bow and arrow in his hand and go after the thief.

"My halberd also has a short range."

Dian Wei wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, and prepared to hunt down the man.

Chen Xu didn't speak, but just picked up the captured one-stone strong bow, pulled the bowstring full, and as soon as his right hand was loosened, the arrow shot out like a meteor catching the moon, and the thief who had run far away fell in response.

The two who were about to take advantage of the victory to pursue had to stop when they saw this.

"The last one I wanted to catch alive, but I didn't want to be shot to death by Da Lang."

Qiao Yu couldn't help but be a little envious when he saw that Chen Xu could pull a strong bow with one stone at will.

The battle was not long, but it was very fierce, and among the three, only Chen Xu was slightly injured in order to save Qiao Yu.

Several people counted the results of the battle, and a total of 28 enemies were killed, of which Qiao Yu killed one person with a sword and shot two dead; Chen Xu shot five people and killed eight; The rest of the thieves were killed by Dian Wei.

"Phew! One by one seems to be extremely vicious, but I didn't expect it to be so unbeaten. ”

Qiao Yu was carelessly held hostage by the thieves, and at this time, his anger had not subsided, and he kicked the body of Scarface.

He has learned fencing, riding, and equestrianism since he was a child, and his performance is also very good.

At this time, Qiao Yu remembered that Chen Xu was injured, and hurriedly asked: "Da Lang, you just helped me block a knife, is there a big problem?" ”

Dian Wei also looked at Chen Xu with concern.

Chen Xu smiled slightly, and said loudly: "It's just a small injury, why worry about it?" ”

The corpse of the thief lay on the ground. At this time, Chen Xu felt more deeply about the war in the era of cold weapons.

In later generations, he once heard a saying: The more afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster you will die.

These thieves, if they had the courage to fight to the death, even if Dian Wei and Chen Xu were brave, they would not be killed by the three of them so easily.

However, the thieves were first shocked by the murderous aura of Chen Xu and the others, and after the leader was killed, everyone was even more frightened, and a few more people were killed, and the others scattered and fled, which was so easily annihilated by the three of them.

Qiao Yu let out a bad breath and said regretfully: "So many thieves can receive a large amount of reward, but it's a pity that they all died, otherwise the reward can be doubled." ”

Although the Qiao family is not short of money, they are not very wealthy, and now they have killed 28 thieves, including two thieves.

According to the standard of the government's reward, killing an ordinary thief can be rewarded with 50,000 yuan, and killing the thief leader can be rewarded with 100,000 yuan.

Since the Han Dynasty, the law has been relatively lenient, even if it is attacked by thieves, the government also encourages the capture of thieves alive, and the reward for catching a prisoner is twice as much as killing a person, so Qiao Yu has some regrets.

Chen Xu didn't speak, he and Dian Wei were both fugitives, and they couldn't see the light, so neither of them left a living mouth just now.

"With the corpses of these thieves, you can get a reward of 1.5 million, and if an ordinary person takes it to receive a reward, it would be very good to get 500,000, but the family Weng is the Taishou of Dong County, and Bo Weng was once ranked as the third duke, but no one in Liang Guo dared to deduct our reward."

Qiao Yu calculated the reward and said loudly: "I was able to get rid of the thief today, thanks to Ah Wei and Da Lang." Your status is so special that it is inconvenient for you to come forward, so I will take the thief to receive the reward, and then divide the money among you, so okay? ”

Dian Wei shook his head and said, "Da Lang and I are guilty of sin, and we are accepted by Qiaojun, how dare we ask for a reward?" ”

Chen Xu also echoed: "What my brother said is very true, we are hiding in Qiao's house, and we rely on Qiaojun for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and we dare not go out, even if we get money, it is useless, and Qiaojun will mention it again." ”

Qiao Yu has always been righteous and heroic, with the style of a gentleman, and if it weren't for Chen Xu and the others today, his life would definitely be difficult to protect, how could he be greedy for the two of them?

Qiao Yu insisted again and again, Chen Xu and Dian Wei couldn't postpone it, so they had to agree, and several people finally agreed to divide the money according to the number of killings.

After receiving the reward, he took out more than 200,000 yuan and rewarded it to the other house slaves who came with the Qiao family, Chen Xu and Dian Wei's bounty, and then let Qiao Yu send people directly to Chenjia Village and Jiwu.

"There is no mention of Qiao Mao's son in history, I thought he was mediocre and not famous enough at first, but now it seems that he probably died here in history."

"I, a little butterfly, have finally begun to change history?"

Chen Xu looked at the heroic Qiao Yu and thought secretly.

Seeing that their master had not returned for a long time, the slaves of the Qiao family divided half of the men to guard the carriages and horses, and the others were all armed with sharp knives and went to look for the three people, and when they saw the corpses lying around, they were all shocked.

After seeing that their master was not injured, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing that after receiving the reward, everyone will receive a reward of more than 200,000 yuan, and everyone is smiling, so much money is enough for each person to share 10,000 yuan.

Many of these house slaves who came with them have served the Qiao family for several generations, and the Qiao family treats them very generously, so everyone is loyal, even the identities of Chen Xu and Dian Wei, these people also know.

Everyone worked together to move all the corpses to the car, and after Chen Xu bandaged the wounds, he and Dian Wei changed the bloodstained clothes and put them on the two tall house slaves, but they changed into clean clothes and covered their heads.

Qiao Yu asked the other house slaves to smear their clothes with blood, but when they received the reward, they falsely claimed that they had killed the thieves.

In this way, everyone rushed to Yun County with great courage and high spirits, and there were piles of corpses to deter, and along the way, no thieves dared to beat them.
