When the County Sheriff's Department was established, it was firstly to recruit local warriors to protect the people, and secondly, it was to deal with the elusive horse bandits of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
With the financial support of the Mo family, the people of Mo County dug a secret road directly into the Yanbei Mountains in the county guard's office. In case the county guard's guards were defeated, the people could bring their money and food and hide in the mountains to avoid the bandits. Thieves looted and killed.
Mo Ti was awakened by Mo Jiang's words. She didn't care whether there were thieves in the company ambushing her, let alone thinking about how powerful the thieves were who could kill hundreds of people in such a short period of time. At this moment, her mind What I wanted to do was to go into the secret passage to see if the people had hid in it.
The ground of the Sheriff's Department was stained red by the blood of the corpses of the guards. Mo Ti had no time to feel sad and tried to avoid stepping on the corpses of his brothers. He walked straight to the center of the Sheriff's Department hall and saw that the ground under the hall was not damaged, so he felt a little relieved. .
Looking around the office, there seemed to be no trace of the thief. Moti then walked slowly, leaned down on the ground, and tapped three times and three times rhythmically. This was the code that had been agreed upon before. No matter what happened, after everyone retreated, After entering the secret passage, one person will stay behind to observe the situation in the county.
Just as the tapping was about to end, a "click" was heard, and a secret passage suddenly appeared on the ground, from which a head with pigtails poked out.
"Ti...Sister, you are back...wuwuwu...they killed a lot of people." The little girl was young and had her hair down in her hair. Her clear eyes were full of fear and sadness, but she still tried her best. After controlling his emotions, when he saw it was Moti, he started to cry and told her what happened in the county.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaodouzi. My sister is back. Is everyone okay?" Moti endured the sadness in her heart, stroked Xiaodou's tears away, held her tightly in her arms, and comforted her.
Perhaps it was Moti's comfort that gradually calmed Xiaodou's mood. As if he remembered something, he raised his head from Moti's arms and said, "Sister Ti, everyone has passed through the secret passage and went to hide in Yanbei Mountain. ..Uncle asked me to stay in the secret passage and wait for your return, and asked me to tell you that he went to ask for reinforcements."
When Mo Ti heard this, he remembered that when he came back, the thieves had long disappeared. The attack on the city was so fast, almost like a march, with careful deployment. Tell my sister how those thieves entered Mo County."
Xiaodou raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears and said with choked sobs: "It's strange to say that those thieves usually only dare to make sneak attacks at night, but today they... brazenly came straight into the city. Normally, they only rob property. , but today it is...but he kills everyone on sight."
"Our Mojun built a city wall so high, how did they do it...kill everyone they see...how many people did they come." Moti heard this and asked hurriedly.
"I don't know how many people came. I just saw Uncle Jiang in a panic. He sent people to shout loudly, telling everyone to hide in the secret passage and flee to the mountains first... But when I hid in the secret passage, I heard everyone mention , There are not many thieves here, but they are all very skilled in martial arts." Xiaodouzi told everything he knew truthfully.
Mo Ti frowned and was extremely confused. These bandits used to rob and kill people just for gold, silver and silk. According to what Xiaodou said, they came here just to destroy Mo County. In this case, they Why were there only more than ten people, and just ten people, but all the county guards were killed? The martial arts of these ten people... Mo Ti didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Xiaodouzi, you said that my third uncle went to patrol the military camp?" Suddenly remembering what Xiaodou said just now, that the third uncle went to ask for reinforcements, Mo Ti asked hurriedly.
"Yes, the uncle said that these thieves don't seem to be here for robbery. He is worried that even if everyone escapes this time, the thieves will still not let go of Mojun. They just want to take advantage of the patrol troops between Mojun and Yujun. Stand guard and ask the patrol to send troops to catch all the thieves." Xiaodouzi said immediately.
"No, my third uncle has an old illness. After nightfall, the road in the mountains becomes even more difficult. I have to find him." Moti made up his mind and took Xiaodou out of the secret passage.
At this time, Gu Xiao, who was outside the Sheriff's Department, was still worried about the reckless behavior of Miss Sicheng, who was wearing maroon armor. A man has entered the county guard's office. If the thieves did not leave but set an ambush in the city, they would be trapped.
So he opened his mouth and said to Mo Jiang beside him: "My lord, that girl... Sir Sicheng comes in alone. If there is an ambush by the thieves, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Mo Jiang's waist knife had been drawn out and placed on his neck.
"Little thief, don't think that I just stopped Sicheng just because I wanted to save your life... Our county governor has no right to judge your guilt. I will wait until Yanbei is informed and then I will cut you, little thief, into pieces with a thousand knives." Sacrifice the lives of so many people in Mo County and the governor Si brothers today." Mo Jiang heard this little thief speak and almost impulsively wanted to kill him with a knife, but for Lord Sicheng, he had to suppress the hatred in his heart and gritted his teeth and spoke. .
Gu Xiao saw these county guards glaring at him angrily and knew that they had misunderstood him deeply. Speaking at this time would only deepen the misunderstanding, so he had to keep silent. When he was thinking about how to resolve the misunderstanding, he saw the girl Si Cheng holding her arms. A girl with braids walked out of the office.
Seeing this, several guards quickly stepped forward, took the girl from Si Cheng's arms, and said, "Sicheng, what should we do next?"
Mo Ti glanced at the young man with hatred, motioned for the remaining ten people to come closer, and said in a low voice: "My third uncle took the people of Mo County to the back mountain for temporary shelter, and then went to patrol The military camp is asking for help, but I don’t know if these thieves will chase them up the mountain. I will go up the mountain first and make sure everyone is safe before chasing my third uncle."
Then a pair of apricot eyes scanned the corpses on the ground, with sadness in his eyes, and continued: "These brothers' corpses cannot be abandoned. If they are not buried in time, they will attract plague. Uncle Mo, you and everyone will temporarily bury the corpses first." Bury it, and after it's taken care of, go up the mountain to meet me."
All the guards agreed and were about to split up when they heard the young man behind them say: "Sir Cheng, can you listen to me? If I were you, I would not go up the mountain."
Moti was surprised when the young man said this. In order to prevent this "little thief" from hearing what he said, she was already more than ten feet away from him, so she deliberately lowered her voice, but he still overheard... .
Thinking of this, Moti was frightened, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "You little thief, you finally showed your fox tail. When you were at the sentry station, I saw that you were good at martial arts. Now that you have revealed your secret, I will kill you first." You, lest you leave behind any trouble.”
The back mountain of Mojun is the last hiding place for the people. This little thief knows that he is going to the mountain. If this information is known by this spy, the people will be in danger. Moti made up her mind that even if she was accused later, she would kill the little thief first.
This time, the only remaining Si Wei and Mo Jiang had no one to stop Mr. Sicheng. When they saw the young man in a place ten feet away, they overheard the conversation between Mr. Sicheng and themselves. Such thieves cannot be allowed to stay. The worst possible outcome. When he was questioned, he and Sicheng shared the blame.
But General Moti raised his sword and wanted to slash at the young man's neck, but was stopped by the young man's words.
"Don't you think about it, these thieves came into the city and killed so many people, and also killed the guards. It was abnormal. They were not looking for gold, silver, and money, but they were looking for something important to them. It would be easy to say if they found it, but if they didn't Find out what they will do.”
As soon as these words came out, Mo Ti seemed to be awakened. Just now, she felt something strange. The thieves who came this time were indeed not here for gold and silver. So what were they looking for... If they couldn't find them, why? When he was about to leave, cold sweat appeared on Mo Ti's pretty face when he thought of this.
"Lord Sicheng, if you really go up the mountain, will these thieves hide themselves and follow you... Then they will lead the wolf into the house and cause trouble." There seemed to be something in the young man's starry eyes. Shining with a look that is hard to look directly at.
The young man spoke again, finally making Mo Ti wake up. Yes, if these thieves were for gold and silver, why did they kill so many people... Could it be that the thieves were really looking for something as the young man said, and he came up in a hurry. Once they reach the mountain, they really bring trouble to the people in the mountain.
"Sister Ti, this brother is right. After entering the city, the bandits did not search for money as usual. Instead, they were...looking for something."
The authorities are confused and bystanders are clear. Xiaodouzi did not preemptively think that Gu Xiao was a bandit spy like Moti and the county guards. Instead, seeing Gu Xiao's sincere words and remembering what the bandits did after entering the city, he also Open your mouth to persuade Moti.
Hearing this, Moti slowly put down the sword in his hand, and was about to speak, asking the young man to continue speaking, when he heard two arrogant laughters ringing from the house behind him.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the elder's clever plan would be discovered by a boy. It's a pity."
"It's a pity indeed. This is a good move... We'd better capture this little girl first and find out where those people are hiding."
The two people were talking to each other, and they didn't pay any attention to Moti and the dozen or so county guards. When they appeared from the house and spoke, they jumped down from the house. Their bodies were light and they landed silently.
Seeing the two people's Qinggong, Mo Ti's expression changed slightly. He had his first glimpse of the martial arts realm, and it was far inferior to the two people talking and laughing freely not far away. Then he thought about the young man's words to dissuade him from talking to these two people... It seemed that it was really true. In this way, I was secretly glad in my heart. If it hadn't been for the young man's words to dissuade them, they would have led the two people up the mountain, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Huh." When Mo Ti held the long sword in his hand, Mo Jiang and other county guards beside him were already on guard.
"I said, Xiao Nizi, even if you see through the plan, what can you do? If you resist, it will just be a few more corpses in Mojun City."
"Yes, if you recognize us and take us up the mountain obediently, maybe Third Brother will be merciful and spare your lives."
The two people stood tall. On a cold winter day, most people wore cotton-padded clothes, but these two people were wearing short shirts. They were not afraid of the cold at all. They sang and harmonized, and when they spoke, they seemed to have taken the more than ten people in the venue as their own. .
When the two people got closer, Gu Xiao clearly felt that the hand holding the long sword of the Sicheng girl was trembling slightly, but it was not trembling with fear, as if she had seen the enemy she had been looking for for many years.
"I have been looking for you two thieves for many years... I didn't expect that you two would show up at my door today." Moti Yin gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.
"oh?"
The two of them didn't seem to expect that the leading girl of the guard would say such words. One of them, the middle-aged man with a scar on his face, took a careful look at Mo Ti's face. After a while, he seemed to think of something and rubbed his face. With the scar on his face, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and spoke to the other person beside him.
"Hahaha, that's it. Why does he look familiar to me? Third brother, do you still remember that Sicheng who was tortured by our two brothers more than ten years ago and turned into a human being?"
The other man had a cold face, dark eyes, and a look of ferocity and cruelty. Hearing the man beside him speak, he turned his head and pondered for a moment, and finally remembered the Sicheng in his mouth... Back then, in order to resist his two brothers, he personally He was hit by more than ten knives, but he still stood tall. He didn't fall until his head was beheaded by two brothers.
"Xiao Nizi, then Mo Shouzheng, who are you?"
Moti's eyebrows were raised. Her memory of her childhood was blurry, and she could only vaguely remember the appearance of her father's enemy. When she opened her mouth to test, she heard the man mention his father's name. Hatred welled up in his heart, and he had already opened his mouth to drink: "As expected, it's you. Mo Shouzheng is my father. I will avenge him. You thief, you must accept your life."
Some people died, but not completely...
