"Squeaky..."
After a burst of teeth grinding, the dilapidated city gate was pulled open with great effort by the fat county magistrate and the thin county magistrate.
There was nothing we could do, the guards on the city wall had already disappeared to nowhere! Even the surrounding people were so frightened by the previous gongs and drums that they closed their doors and windows tightly, and no one could be seen at all.
Therefore, the only thing the county magistrate can do is to do it himself.
"How's it going! Did you see anyone?"
The door opened, but even though he had already made up his mind to fight to the death, when the moment came, the fat county magistrate still closed his eyes subconsciously, not daring to look at the scene in front of him that was enough to decide whether he would stay or leave.
"I saw it! It seems, something is not right!"
Opposite the gate, the county magistrate's trembling voice came over, which seemed particularly strange in the dark city gate.
"What's wrong!" Upon hearing the county magistrate's words, the fat magistrate was startled, and then he slowly opened his eyes and looked outside the city as if he had accepted his fate!
Outside the city, there is an open space almost filled with arrows!
Dozens of men wearing various clothes, even wearing floral skirts, were lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
And among them, some of them had two or three arrows on their heads, and some of them were stuck like hedgehogs. Their bodies were covered with arrows. They looked so miserable!
"This is the team of the Duke and the Marquis?" Staring at a pair of slightly confused eyes, the county magistrate's fat face trembled involuntarily, and then glared at the county magistrate opposite: "Can you tell me, How is this going?"
"This... uh..."
The county magistrate was also confused at this time.
At first, he only saw the person who reported the news, Jiayi, and did not see the so-called general and the marquis at all.
As for the people in front of them, even if they have a humble official position, they have never eaten pork, so they have seen pigs running around, right? No matter how they looked at him, they didn't look like the world-famous Mr. Xiao.
"Could it be that there was a mistake?" Shrinking his neck, the county magistrate swallowed and said cautiously: "But didn't the Lord also read the token, so there's nothing wrong with it?"
"you!!!"
It's okay that the county magistrate didn't say this. As soon as he said this, the fat county magistrate's originally worried heart was filled with soaring anger in an instant!
Just when he was about to jump up, point at the county magistrate and curse, suddenly, the county magistrate seemed to have discovered something, and looked directly behind the group of "hedgehogs": "Sir, you Look at that!”
"That?" The fat county magistrate was startled, quickly suppressed his anger, and turned to look outside.
Outside, a large number of refugees had quietly retreated, clearing the road leading directly to the city gate.
The shower of arrows just now scared them! So much so that even when the city gate was wide open, they didn't dare to go in!
Not only did they not dare to go in, they even took a few steps back to make room for the heroes on horseback and the people in the city, for fear that the city gate would catch fire and affect them like fish in the pond again.
After all, a hungry life is a bit harder, but you are still alive after all, right? If we get together, and we are like those people just now, and are shot by a bunch of random arrows, unable to survive or die, then who are we provoking?
"That is?"
Following the position pointed by the county magistrate, through the road that had been moved out of the way by the refugees, the fat magistrate quickly saw the group of people riding on war horses.
Different from those strange half-dead guys on the ground, this group of people have cold eyes and steady figures! He doesn't look like a mortal at first glance!
Among this group of people, there is another sturdy bald man, and next to him, the young man who is protected like a star over the moon is particularly conspicuous. People can't help but focus on these two. On people.
"Mr. Liu Guo! Mr. Xiao Hou!" Looking at the two people in the distance in shock, the fat county magistrate's heart trembled fiercely!
Almost in an instant, he matched the rumored images of Liu Hongji and Xiao Han with the two people opposite them! Then his legs weakened and he almost fell to his knees on the ground.
"Hey, front man!"
Seeing the two people in the city gate looking towards him stupidly, Liu Hongji snorted and shouted loudly: "Are you the magistrate of Ningcheng County?!"
The reason why I want to ask first is because although the fat county magistrate is wearing an official uniform, after running all the way and beating someone himself just now, the official hat and boots have long been lost. Where have you been?
Together with the seventh-grade county magistrate's official uniform, it was also wrinkled at this time, and the original appearance could not be seen at all, so Liu Hongji asked this question to avoid wasting his feelings by crying at the wrong grave later. .
"My officer...this is my official!" Liu Hongji's roar was heard in the city gate. The fat county magistrate, who was about to fall to the ground, got the strength from nowhere and stood upright with a "swish". , shouting to Liu Hongji in the distance with a trembling voice: "I didn't know that the angel was coming, and I didn't welcome it from afar. I'm really damned, damned!"
"Damn it? You dare to find someone to shoot me, you don't deserve to die!"
Hearing the fat county magistrate admit that he was the rightful owner, Liu Hongji had a place to vent his anger. He brandished a knife on the spot, pointed at the fat magistrate from a distance and shouted: "Say it! I'll give you a chance to explain. Don’t say that I’m going to kill you without teaching you! It’s unjust to kill you!”
"ah……"
After hearing this, the fat county magistrate was stupid, and he was really stupid!
Although in his mind, he had thought about the scene when he met Xiao Han and Liu Hongji countless times, but none of them were like what he saw before him. He would kill them as soon as they met! At any rate, everyone should be polite first, and then find an excuse, such as stepping into the door with the left foot first, and then pushing out to chop it, right?
"What an injustice!"
The county magistrate was stunned! I couldn't say a word for a long time, but at the critical moment, the county magistrate next to me reacted!
He fell to the ground with a plop and shouted loudly without daring to raise his head: "Sir! It's unfair! I just took the souvenir and ran to ask the county magistrate for instructions! As a result, the county magistrate heard that an angel was coming, and he immediately He was so happy that he didn’t even care about the carriage and carriage. He ran all the way from the Yamen and even lost his boots! How could he order others to attack the angel? There must be some misunderstanding in the middle!"
"Misunderstanding! Wasn't the one who shot me just now not one of your soldiers?" Liu Hongji rode forward, bypassed the refugee prisoners, came to the front of the county magistrate, and hummed condescendingly.
"Yes... no!" Feeling Liu Hongji's mountain-like pressure, the fat county magistrate was still covered in sweat in the cold weather. He tremblingly replied: "Those are not soldiers, just soldiers. It’s just that the people are strong.”
"Minzhuang!"
At this time, Xiao Han also came over on horseback, surrounded by idiots and others. Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "What about your county soldiers here?"
