Chapter 1069
Huang Chong, Yin Zhutou, Master Feng and others were surprised and happy when they saw the Japanese robbers rushing towards the backyard of the City God Temple. It's just that there are more and more rockets fired into the courtyard from outside the temple, and the momentum is becoming more and more urgent. Huang Chong thought to himself, it seemed that the officers and soldiers were constantly approaching the City God Temple, so the feather arrows shot into the temple would become more and more urgent. Although the widow retreated, he didn't know what Hu Kun planned to do at the moment, if he wanted to kill people and kill his mouth, he was afraid that the fate of himself and the old lady Nie would not be much better than falling into the hands of the widow.
In the blink of an eye, all the pirates had fled to the backyard. Li Qiufeng watched Yanagi Zongyan walk at the end with more than a dozen killers of the Yanagi clan, looking around as he went. His heart moved, and he secretly thought that this old guy Yanagi Zongyan was only afraid of another trick. Most likely, he wanted to use the Shidao Lord and his group as substitutes for the dead ghosts, and he took the opportunity to slip away. It's too hard to get rid of this old ghost.
At this moment, only to hear the sound of "hoo", the body of Xu Chengsi, who was hanging on a high pole, was hit by dozens of rockets, and at this time suddenly burned and turned into a huge fireball. Li Qiufeng and the others were startled, and watched Xu Chengsi's body hunting and burning in the cold wind one by one. Ji Dingzhong sneered, and said in his mouth: "The little bastard of the Xu family is bent on burning us, but the retribution is not happy, he set a fire, but he was shot into a hedgehog by his accomplices, and even the corpse was burned to ashes. ”
Li Qiufeng and the others saw that Xu Chengsi died tragically, and even the corpse ended up like this, and they were a little sad in their hearts. It's just that the rockets fired from outside the wall are getting denser and denser, and the fast catch in front of the main hall is already a little unstoppable, and in the blink of an eye, five or six people were injured by arrows.
Huang Chong saw that the would-be had already fled into the backyard, and it was useless to let the prisoner catch him guard under the stone steps. It was he who gave the order in succession, telling the people to retreat into the main hall. Yin Zhutou and Master Feng were no longer stubborn at this time, and while rescuing the injured Zhukuai, they retreated to the stone steps.
At this moment, the rain of arrows from outside the temple into the courtyard suddenly stopped. Except for the whirring of the wind and the sound of burning fire, there seemed to be no sound between heaven and earth. Li Qiufeng, Ji Dingzhong, Huang Chong and others standing on the stone steps couldn't help but be stunned, and they couldn't believe it. It's just that I vaguely feel that there is a great danger hidden in this calm, just like facing a huge powder keg that has been ignited, which can explode at any time.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of drums outside the temple, like a thunderbolt in mid-air. Everyone was shocked and looked out of the temple. After only the sound of drums, the sound of horses' hooves began like a storm. Li Qiufeng's face changed, and he said to everyone: "They have started to attack! I just don't know if they will go around the outside of the temple to chase and kill the Japanese invaders, or if they will rush into the temple to deal with us!"
Lieutenant Ji Ding put his long sword across his chest and sneered: "With Lao Hu's urine nature, he naturally wants to kill the Japanese Invaders as well as get rid of us! Exterminate the Japanese Invaders, he can ask the imperial court for merit, and from then on he will soar and become powerful all over the world." Get rid of us, no one will know his secrets anymore, no one will check and balance Lao Hu, he can be his general in a grand manner. ”
When Liu Shengzong Yan forced Xu Chenghe, because it was far away from the main hall, Ji Ding and the others didn't hear what the two were talking about, and they didn't know the tricks of Xu Chengzong and Xu Chenghe, but Hu Kun brought soldiers and horses to kill everyone. Li Qiufeng had already guessed that Xu Chengzong had done something and wanted to use Ruyangwei's iron cavalry to slaughter the Nie family. It's just that he didn't know that Xu Chengzong had already used the Xu family's undercover agent in Ruyangwei to restrain Hu Kun, and forged the official document of the Henan Metropolitan Command Envoy Yamen, so he drove three thousand iron horsemen to surround the Chenghuang Temple, and thought that Xu Chengzong had deceived Hu Kun with his words. At this time, I heard the sound of iron hooves outside the temple, Rao is Li Qiufeng has always been bold and calm, and he was also a little nervous at this time.
In the blink of an eye, only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the temple gate. Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to Yuanjue, Huang Xu and the others who were standing aside: "Master Yuanjue, you take all the masters and Huang Girl to retreat into the main hall first, and let the juniors deal with these enemies." ”
Yuan Jue shook his head and said, "Li Daxia, right now, we have been forced by these demons to have no way out. Even if you avoid entering the main hall, there is nowhere to escape, it is better to work together to eliminate the demon and defend the way, and it is not in vain to be a disciple of the Shi family. ”
Li Qiufeng was about to say more, but he saw a shadow flickering at the gate of the temple, and several cavalry of the Ruyang Guard had already rushed in. Li Qiufeng had no time to say more, put the embroidered spring knife across his chest, and looked at the temple door.
I saw that the cavalry continued to rush in from the temple gate, and in the blink of an eye, the corpses of the monks and the Shi Jiadao, Lei Fist Gate, and Biyunwu gangs lying up and down the stone steps of the temple gate were trampled by the horses. The officers and soldiers who rushed into the temple were all wearing armor and brandishing steel knives in their hands, and the momentum was quite amazing. After these cavalrymen entered the courtyard, they immediately lined up in two teams in the courtyard, staring at Li Qiufeng and the others who were standing at the door of the main hall.
Until more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed in, the courtyard was already crowded. A moment later, three more riders entered. The man at the head wore an iron helmet and iron armor, and carried a large sword upside down in his right hand, and rode on a horse like an iron tower. The man in the middle was not wearing armor, but was wearing a cyan official robe, and it was Xu Chengzong, who was pretending to be Yu Fan in Xiuwu County. On the last horse sat a thin middle-aged man in a red official robe. This man has a gloomy face, a pair of triangular eyes full of light, and at first glance he is an extremely difficult character.
After Xu Chengzong and the other three rode into the courtyard, more than a dozen cavalrymen followed behind them, and no one entered the temple after that. It's just that the sound of horses' hooves outside the temple is still continuous, and it seems that the cavalry is bypassing the left and right sides of the City God Temple, and rushing straight to the backyard of the City God Temple.
Li Qiufeng, Ji Dingzhong, Huang Chong and others all thought in their hearts that the would-be robbers thought that they could escape from the backyard, and now they could only let the officers and soldiers and cavalry slaughter, which could really be said to be unpleasant retribution.
But he saw Xu Chengzong walk to the front of the main hall, slowly restrain his mount, smiled at Ji Dingzhong, and said, "Master Ji, let's meet again." ”
Ji Dingzhong had already heard Li Qiufeng say that he knew that the "Yu Xiancheng" in front of him was the person in charge of the Xu family. He stared at Xu Chengzong, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, pointed to the corpse of Xu Chenghe, who was hanging on a high pole and had been burned into a piece of black charcoal, and said, "It's a pity that this brother of yours will never see you again." ”
Xu Chengzong didn't look back, and said in a deep voice: "There are many brothers in this official, but you don't know." ”
When he said this, he paused slightly, looked at Ji Dingzhong, his eyes were full of mockery, and said: "Actually, Cheng Hei himself doesn't know that he is not a child of the Xu family, but just a discarded baby raised by the third master. Over the years, he has been born and died, and he has killed many people in the four of you, which can be regarded as a great achievement. Today, I gave my life to get rid of you clowns. It's not in vain that the third master has raised him for more than ten years, haha, haha. ”
Ji Dingzhong originally wanted to taunt Xu Chenghe, but unexpectedly, the other party was not only not angry, but talked eloquently, talking like a knife, which made Ji Dingzhong angry. It's just that after all, he is also a very deep person in the city, so he instantly suppressed the anger in his chest, sneered, and said, "The surname is Xu, don't get carried away." Although you teamed up with Lao Hu and stabbed us in the back. But if you think we're going to get caught, you're wrong. ”
Xu Chengzong smiled slightly and said, "Master Ji, you are wrong again. Yu was ordered by the command of the Henan Commander Si Yamen to Xiuwu County to capture and kill the Japanese Kou. Before the official left, he commanded Lord Lin to say that the Japanese have done a lot of evil, and if they are caught by us, they will be killed. For the traitors who help the Japanese invaders, they are even more hateful than the Japanese invaders, and they must be punished by one degree, not only beheading the public, but also destroying the three tribes. Because the official didn't want to arrest you at all, he wanted to kill you on the spot today, and he also wanted to arrest your parents, wives and children, and kill them one by one to show the public. You will take the first step today, and in three or four days, your parents, wives and children will follow you on the Huangquan Road. If black and white impermanence escorts you to walk more slowly, maybe you can meet in front of the bridge. ”
When Xu Chengzong said this, he was really proud, raised his head and laughed.
The red-robed thin man beside Xu Chengzong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Lord Yu, what kind of talk do you have with these traitors? It's better to kill them all earlier and go back to report to Lord Lin." Wouldn't it be nice for us to have a drink comfortably?!hahahaha ”
