Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er approached the city gate of Ruicheng County, and their hearts were dripping with blood when they saw the atrocities committed by the thieves.

The men who were tortured and killed not only had their heads in different places, but some of them had their limbs broken and even disemboweled. It is conceivable that they were subjected to inhuman torture before they died.

And those women are even more miserable. It must be known that in this era, chastity is really a hundred times more precious than life for women. And they have been humiliated in public by those mobs, and they have already suffered a great sin; But after surviving by luck, he still has to live a lifetime under the fingers of everyone, and this kind of injury is even more vicious than direct physical injury!

Rui'er hurriedly ran over with tears in her eyes and put on the clothes of these poor women. Some of them wept bitterly and fell on the headless bodies of their fathers, husbands, or sons. Some are glazed over, motionless, and indistinguishable from dead people.

And the woman who was humiliated in public by the non-sticky mud, after struggling to push away the corpse pressed on her body, actually snatched the non-sticky treasure knife, and wiped it off her neck with a swing of the knife.

Rui'er hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "This eldest sister, the thief has been ambushed, why should you do this!" ”

"You let go and let me die! I don't have a face to live! The woman struggled desperately and cried loudly, crying so much that Zhu Youzhen's heart tightened.

He hurriedly turned his face away, trying not to let his eyes fall on the woman's body, sighed and persuaded: "You are a victim, why should you die?" If you're afraid of what people are talking about, you can leave this place and start a new life..."

While he was talking, the city gate suddenly opened, and the pot-bellied Ruicheng County Commander Li Fengyuan led dozens of soldiers and servants to rush out. Several soldiers first cut off the heads of the non-sticky mud and others, and said happily to Li Fengyuan: "Lord County, this time you have won the battle, and the bandit heads are not sticky, this great achievement will be reported to the next level, and you will be promoted soon!" ”

Li Fengyuan seemed to have changed at this time, and said arrogantly: "These rats dare to violate my Ruicheng County border, and if the county uses a little means, the thieves are all powder!" ”

Everyone roared and kept slapping horses, almost wanting to hold Li Fengyuan to the sky. Zhu Youzhen watched coldly from the sidelines, thinking to himself Is there such a shameless person in the world?

Li Fengyuan was complacent for a while, suddenly sank his face, and shouted majestically: "These women colluded with bandits, murdered their husbands, and still did those immoral things in broad daylight, and their sins are unforgivable!" Come on, take them all down for me, put them on death row, and when the interrogation in this county is over, they will all be executed at Ling Chi! ”

The soldiers and servants suddenly rushed up like wolves. Those women who have just escaped from the tiger's mouth are about to fall into the wolf's den again!

When Zhu Youzhen saw this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally shouted: "Stop it!" ”

Li Fengyuan walked over with square steps, looked Zhu Youzhen up and down with a gloomy face, and said slowly: "Who are you?" It is really bold to dare to stop the county from arresting key criminals! ”

"I'll go to your uncle's!" Zhu Youzhen pointed at Li Fengyuan's nose and scolded, "Are you a fucking person?" In vain, the thieves did not know how to protect the territory and the people, but discussed with the thieves and gave money and food; The thieves are attacking the city, and you don't even dare to fire a shot, but this time you will come to charge the big-tailed wolf! These women are all weak women who have been bullied by thieves, and they are pitiful enough, you are so good and bad that you want to cut them and make a fortune for you as a sacrifice! …”

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!" Li Fengyuan was accustomed to being the county magistrate of Ruicheng, and he was used to being arrogant, he had been insulted like this, and immediately said angrily: "Come on, take this madman to this county!" ”

"I'll see who dares to move!" Rui'er stepped forward, stood in front of Zhu Youzhen, and stared coldly at those soldiers and servants, "How did that non-sticky mud die just now, you all saw it!" If you dare to move the king... He's got a hair, and I promise you'll die a hundred times worse than if you don't stick to the mud! ”

Everyone was calmed by the murderous aura revealed in Rui'er's eyebrows, although she and Zhu Youzhen were surrounded in a circle, but you look at me and I look at you, and no one dared to do anything.

Li Fengyuan smiled gloomily: "This county knows that people like you are the so-called 'people in the martial arts'!" Relying on some of his martial arts, he didn't take the laws of the court in his eyes, he was bold, reckless, and dared to threaten the officials of the court, which was really more hateful than those thieves! ”

He scolded his subordinates loudly again: "You rice buckets, eat the master's food for nothing, when it's time for you to contribute, why do you all retreat? There are only two of them, what are you afraid of? Take them down for me, the men will be punished, and the women," Speaking of this, Li Fengyuan smiled evilly at Rui'er, "This county will personally interrogate her, and she will definitely be rectified to the point that she can't survive and die!" ”

"You're tired!" Zhu Youzhen saw that Li Fengyuan dared to offend Rui'er, and roared loudly: "Open your dog's eyes and see who I am!" ”

"The county doesn't care who you are! Aren't you just a stinky boy who still needs a woman's protection? Li Fengyuan said sarcastically.

"Dog officer, listen up! I just..."Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but report to his home, and a servant suddenly pointed to the distance in horror, and said tremblingly: "County... County... Lord County, a thief... It's back! ”

Zhu Youzhen and Li Fengyuan were both taken aback, and when they looked up, they saw countless torches coming from all directions towards Ruicheng, and at a cursory glance, there were at least more than 10,000 people!

"Quick, quick, go back to the city, close the gates!" Li Fengyuan was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and he didn't care about competing with Zhu Youzhen, so he ran back.

Rui'er also said anxiously: "Lord Wang, there are many thieves, and we only have to go to Ruicheng County to take refuge for a while, waiting for Mr. Sun to move to Tongguan's rescue!" ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that the situation was urgent, and thought that he had no choice but to do so, so he immediately urged the jujube red horse and broke into the city gate with Rui'er.

And the soldiers and the servants were so concerned with closing the door that they shut up the poor women outside the city again. When the women saw the thieves approaching, they cried out in despair, and the terrible cry penetrated into Zhu Youzhen's chest, stabbing him so much that he almost vomited blood!

Zhu Youzhen caught up with Li Fengyuan in a few steps, pounced straight down from the horse, threw Li Fengyuan to the ground, and took out a flintlock pistol from his arms, pressed it against his temple, and said viciously: "Rabbit cub, hurry up and open the city for me and let those women in!" Otherwise, I'll shoot you with one shot! ”

Although Li Fengyuan had never seen this kind of high-end goods, when he saw Zhu Youzhen's blood-red eyes, he also knew that he was going to play with himself. Frightened, he shouted repeatedly, "Big... The hero spares his life, and the subordinate does it! ”

Under Li Fengyuan's reluctant orders, the soldiers had to open the city gate again and let the women in. The women all knelt at Zhu Youzhen's feet, sobbing and thanking him for saving his life.

But it didn't take long for the thieves to come under the walls of Rui City. Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er went to the top of the city, and saw that the boundless outside the city was full of people, at least more than 10,000 people; The leader was slender and long, with a yellow face and a long beard, and he immediately shouted with a horizontal gun, and shouted proudly: "Who killed the non-sticky mud, dare to get out of the city and fight with the eight kings for three hundred rounds!" Otherwise, the king will slaughter the whole city, and there will not be even a single ant left! ”

Eight kings! Zhu Youzhen's heart shrank suddenly, thinking that this "Eight Kings" is not Zhang Xianzhong's nickname? In history, this Zhang Xianzhong is a murderous demon king!

It is said that he and Li Zicheng rebelled against the imperial court at the same time, Li Zicheng mainly tossed Shaanxi and Henan, and Zhang Xianzhong was mostly active in Hubei and Sichuan. Especially in Sichuan, it is said that he also erected a stone stele, on which the book "all things and people are born, people have nothing and the sky, kill", known as "seven killing monuments". Zhang Xianzhong used the monument to show his ambition, indiscriminately killed innocents, and slaughtered Sichuan from millions to 90,000 people!

Although many people later suspected that this was after the Qing army entered the customs, in order to cover up their massacre in Sichuan, they deliberately framed Zhang Xianzhong; But Zhang Xianzhong is addicted to killing, and this one can't always run.

Zhu Youzhen secretly complained to himself, thinking that Song Xiance was going to find Li Zicheng first, and then Zhang Xianzhong would suddenly appear again. It is said that it is not yet time for them to appear, why is my brother's life so bitter!

But before he could come back to his senses, there was another great chaos in the west of the city, and another group of thieves had also been killed. The first one was born tall with high cheekbones, deep-set eye sockets, and a large hooked nose standing on a long horse's face, somewhat similar to that of Westerners.

This person hoarsely shouted, "Eight Great Kings, Ruicheng County is not in your bag!" Li Hongji, the general under the command of King Chuang, is here! ”

Zhu Youzhen shook twice at the head of the city and almost fainted. Rui'er hurriedly supported him and said with concern: "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said reluctantly: "I'm fine..." One Zhang Xianzhong is not enough, in the end, he moved out the old enemy Li Zicheng!

Isn't this general Li Hongji the future Li Zicheng and Li Chuangwang?

But before he could come up with any way to get out, Li Fengyuan, who was hiding in the cave of the city gate, was already frightened, and asked in a trembling voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the non-sticky mud you said was not killed by us!" If we open the city and hand over the murderer to the king, can you raise your noble hand and spare the tens of thousands of fathers and elders in Ruicheng? ”

Zhang Xianzhong blinked his eyes slyly and said with a smile: "My Eight Kings and Non-Sticky Clay are brothers who have befriended Babai, and they have a deep affection. Originally, I didn't plan to come to Ruicheng County, but I heard that Bu Mu died tragically, so I came to avenge him. As long as you open the city gate and hand over the murderer, I guarantee that Qiu will not commit any crimes, and will not hurt a single grass or tree in Ruicheng County! ”

Zhu Youzhen's nose was crooked when he heard it in the city, and he thought that this Zhang Xianzhong was really lying and not making drafts. In that original history, he was known for his capriciousness, rebelled, rebelled, and tossed more than a dozen times. If he could tell the truth, the old sow would be on the tree!

But Li Fengyuan believed it and repeatedly ordered his subordinates to open the city. Just listen to the "bang", and the heavy city gate finally opens!

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were overjoyed, raised their hands, and shouted: "Rush! ”

Ruicheng County is broken!
