Wang Cheng walked at the front, his panoramic eyes opened, and everything within a radius of dozens of meters came into his mind.
Lobby.
This place, which was originally used by the county magistrate to work, is now the same as the Juyi Hall in Liangshan. There are tables placed inside, almost filling the lobby of several hundred square meters.
Every table was a mess, with leftovers, dishes, knives and forks everywhere.
"These summer dogs are really worse than pigs and dogs. A good government office has been turned into a bandits' den!" Zhu Pengfei felt pity and atmosphere.
Wang Cheng remained silent and continued to carefully explore the surroundings. After taking a few steps, he suddenly bent down and picked up something from the ground.
"what?"
Zhu Pengfei came over curiously, and when he saw the true face of the thing, he couldn't help but feel horrified.
That is clearly an ear!
The blood on it has long dried, and it obviously doesn't look like it was just cut. It has been several days.
Wang Cheng then found several ears on the ground, of different sizes, some old and some small, but all of them had been cut off a few days ago.
Zhu Pengfei couldn't tell that these ears were clearly used to record merit, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this thing there?"
Wang Cheng frowned and said, "It seems that Tuoba Tao and the others have really been here!"
Zhu Pengfei suddenly woke up and said, "Are you saying that these human ears were left by Tuoba Tao and the others?"
Seeing Wang Cheng nodding, Zhu Pengfei's blood surged and he said angrily: "What the hell! These bastards don't even let the old, weak, women and children go. They shouldn't have been allowed to die so happily before!"
"Let's go! Go take a look inside the courtyard!"
Wang Cheng was already very sure that Tuoba Tao was here. With a flash of his body, he had already rushed into the courtyard.
Soon, he came to the flower hall, where the county magistrate usually handles government affairs.
To his disappointment, he searched for a long time and didn't even see anyone, nor did he find any secret passages or secret rooms.
The third one entered the hospital.
As soon as he arrived here, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly ordered everyone to go in and search each room.
A few minutes later.
The courtyard was no longer dark. People formed several circles along the courtyard, holding torches in their hands, illuminating the courtyard very brightly.
I saw corpses on the ground, including servants, maids, and ladies.
Although the corpses have different identities, they all have a common feature, which is that they have crossbow arrows.
"Iron-armed copper crossbow?"
Wang Cheng looked at a crossbow arrow in his hand, frowned, and said to himself: "Why is there an iron-armed copper crossbow here?"
"What the hell! The iron-armed copper crossbow is an important weapon in our army. How could it appear here? Is it possible that one of the Zhou soldiers was one step ahead of us?" Zhu Pengfei was equally puzzled.
There were at least thirty or forty iron-armed copper crossbows found in the courtyard. Such a large quantity could only be carried out by Zhou Jun himself, or someone had harbored or collected them.
As for the Xia people trying to imitate iron-armed copper crossbows, it was simply impossible with the Xia people's brains. Otherwise, only Da Zhou would be able to mass-produce iron-armed copper crossbows.
Wang Cheng and Zhu Pengfei looked at each other, and they came to the conclusion almost at the same time that someone must be harboring him.
Who is the one?
…
In the dark night, it seemed as if endless thick ink was heavily smeared on the sky, without even a glimmer of light.
Somewhere in an alley.
A burly man was running, and he would look back every few steps.
This strong man is in his early thirties. He has no hair on his head and only has two dirty braids on his temples.
He was none other than Tuoba Tao, who was supposed to be "doing sports" in the Yamen.
Seeing that there was no one behind him, he speeded up and soon came to a corner of the alley, turned around and entered the next alley.
He leaned back against the wall, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked down at his upper body.
I saw a crossbow arrow stuck in the abdomen, and the arrow cluster penetrated from the front to the back of the abdomen.
He reached out to pull out the crossbow bolt, but as soon as he touched it, he let out a cry of pain.
"not good!"
He immediately realized that something was broken and quickly covered his mouth. He ignored the pain and ran away.
However, before he ran a few steps, a crossbow arrow shot into his back with a "whoosh" sound.
Years of life and death experiences have already honed a strong sixth sense, so even though he didn't have eyes on the back of his head, he sensed danger and dodge immediately.
However, the injury on his stomach was serious and he was unable to dodge to the side as freely as usual.
Even if it's just a little slower and the movement is a little off, the slightest difference can make a huge difference!
The crossbow arrow hit his lower back with a pop and penetrated his body easily.
He seemed to have lost all his energy and fell to the ground.
A man came from behind, holding a pitch-black crossbow in his hand. It was tough and not an ordinary wooden crossbow, but made of copper and iron.
This is the forbidden weapon of Zhou Dynasty—the iron-armed copper crossbow!
The visitor was thin and wearing a red official robe, with a black eagle embroidered on the chest of the official robe, with a white background and a black face.
There was no official hat on his head, and there was not a single hair on the top of his head, which was bare and stained with blood.
Who else could this person be except Liu Qingsheng, the state official of Jizhou?
His face was also stained with bright red blood. He was no longer submissive during the day, but showed an extremely crazy look.
When Tuoba Tao saw him coming, his body trembled unconsciously, and he struggled to maintain a prone position. He could not stand up from the ground at once.
Seeing Liu Qingsheng getting closer and closer, Tuoba Tao said in horror: "Master Liu, for the sake of my colleagues for so many years, please let me live!"
"Let you live?"
Liu Qingsheng seemed to have heard the funniest words in the world. He held an iron-armed copper crossbow and aimed it at Tuoba Tao's head, roaring: "I have been waiting for twenty years, a full twenty years. Do you know what I have done in these twenty years?" Have you passed?"
His eyes were scarlet and he said: "For twenty years, every day I have lived like a dog, even worse than a dog. Anyone can bully me, even those little bastards don't take me seriously. My Woman, I have to smile after being ravaged by you two brothers again and again. Is this what you call camaraderie?"
"That's not what you said at the beginning. You voluntarily gave up your woman." Tuoba Tao said.
"Volunteer?"
Liu Qingsheng roared angrily: "Do you think everyone is like you beasts? You can even give away women at will?"
His face turned red with anger, and he raised his iron-armed copper crossbow and shot an arrow at Tuoba Tao.
Tuoba Tao quickly dodged, but the arrow still hit his thigh, which hurt so much that tears flowed out of his eyes.
"Isn't this painful? Aren't you Xia people known as warriors and the son of the Black Eagle of the Desert?"
Liu Qingsheng sneered, and the iron-armed copper crossbow continued to aim at Tuobatao, walking towards him step by step.
Tuoba Tao was so frightened that he couldn't help but crawl forward, dragging his bleeding legs. However, after only a few steps, the pain became unbearable.
He put his hands on the ground. Just when Liu Qingsheng was wondering what he was going to do, he actually knocked his head to the ground.
"Bang bang bang!"
He kowtowed ten times and kept pleading: "Master Liu, I have made mistakes these years. It is all my fault. I can make it up to you."
Liu Qingsheng came to him, kicked him to the ground with a bang, then stepped on his chest and sneered: "Compensate? How to compensate?"
Tuoba Tao's chest was stepped on, and he lay on the ground. He spoke with difficulty: "Gold, jewelry, and women. I can give you all my women and daughters!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Liu Qingsheng laughed so hard that he almost shed tears. He shook his head and said: "Animals are just animals. They wear monkeys and wear crowns. They will never know the word "morality"!"
He sneered: "Do you think everything in this world can be measured by money?"
"I can give you anything you want! I also have a lot of rare treasures in my collection. They are all rare treasures. I will give them all to you! Give them all to you!" Tuoba Tao continued to plead.
"It's so stupid!"
Liu Qingsheng shook his head disdainfully, gritted his teeth and said, "You bitch! Go to hell!"
He stopped talking and just pulled the trigger.
But the next moment, a huge force suddenly erupted from the soles of his feet, directly lifting him several meters away, and the crossbow arrow shot into the air.
He fell to the ground, took several steps back before stopping, and almost fell to the ground.
Tuoba Tao, who was lying on the ground just now, stood up, with three crossbow arrows suspended in front of him.
The three crossbow arrows were originally inserted into his body, but he took them out by force.
When Liu Qingsheng saw this, he secretly said, "No," and quickly ran away.
"Die!"
Tuoba Tao's face was twisted into one piece. After shouting loudly, three crossbow arrows turned into streams of light and shot out.
Driven by the true energy, the speed of these three crossbow arrows is not much slower than the iron-armed copper crossbow.
Liu Qingsheng fled in a hurry. After dodging two crossbow arrows, a third crossbow arrow passed through his back.
After running forward a few meters, he fell heavily to the ground with his face on the ground.
Tuoba Tao limped towards Liu Qingsheng, dragging his bloody legs, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think you will win? You have been hiding for so many years, do you think I don't know anything about it?"
"Hmph! Your acting skills are really good. I almost fell into your hands. Unfortunately, you are too weak. After so many years of hard work, you can only reach the Qi Blood Realm. You are no different from an ant in front of the martial arts masters of the Dacheng Realm. "
As Tuoba Tao continued to walk forward, he couldn't help but frown when he saw Liu Qingsheng lying motionless on the ground.
Did that arrow just kill him?
Tuoba Tao had doubts, but his subconscious told him that Liu Qingsheng should never die so easily.
This man had endured for twenty years and had broken through from an ordinary person to a warrior in the Qi and Blood Realm. If Liu Qingsheng hadn't been far inferior to him in strength, he would have been a corpse now.
To be on the safe side, he thought it would be better to "make up for it". He had to see Liu Qingsheng die with his own eyes before he could rest in his heart.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in the alley, followed by a cry of killing.
Tuoba Tao secretly said, "No," and he limped deeper into the alley, dragging his body in severe pain.
After a while, there was a loud noise here.
"Quick! There's a person lying here!"
"See if you're still angry!"
…
