At this time, standing far away, Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but stand on tiptoes, stretched his neck and asked: "How is it? Is this thief still alive?"

The man in black beside Li Gui stood up and said to Chen Xiaomu: "Your Highness, this thief was shot in the heart. Although he is still breathing weakly, he may not be alive for long!"

Chen Xiaomu sighed and said: "Then don't waste time, and save him pain. Let's give him a happy life and chop him up with a knife!"

"Alas!" Li Gui agreed, waving his hand to Wang Wu to get out of the way, and then raised the knife in his hand high, and was about to chop off the head of the man in black with one strike, when the man in black lying on the ground The man seemed to have exhausted all his strength, first letting his body squirm, and then weakly squeezing out two words from his throat, "please"

Li Gui was so preoccupied with killing that he didn't even hear the man in black begging for mercy, but Wang Wu heard it very clearly. Seeing that the knife in Li Gui's hand was about to fall, Wang Wu couldn't care less in his desperation. Many, hunched over, pushed Li Gui so hard that he almost fell down, and the sword in his hand was also thrown out by force! "

Li Gui was hit by Wang Wu's sudden blow. He finally managed to regain his footing. He turned around and pointed his finger at Wang Wu and cursed angrily: "Wang Wu, are you f**king crazy? Why did you suddenly attack? I?"

At this time, Chen Xiaomu and Lu Yi, who were standing far away, saw that something was wrong, so they walked over to see what was going on. When Li Gui saw Chen Xiaomu, he became even more angry and pointed at the man lying on the ground. The man in black said angrily: "Your Highness, I was preparing to deal with this thief according to your order, but this bastard Wang Wu attacked me as if he suddenly went crazy. Please make the decision for me!"

"What's going on?" Chen Xiaomu asked with a sullen face as he looked at Wang Wu, who was standing aside with his head bowed.

Wang Wu stammered for a long time before stammering: "Please, please forgive me, Your Highness. I realized that this thief had not yet died, and I couldn't bear it, so I pushed Captain Li out of desperation!"

"Do you call it a push?" Li Gui couldn't help but said angrily: "You call it a dead hand. If you haven't practiced the golden bell shield body protection magic skill, I am afraid that you will be hit to death! Until now, I am like this My ribs still hurt like crazy!”

Chen Xiaomu found it funny. He had practiced the magic skill of protecting the body and it still hurt like hell. This was such a boast that most people couldn't handle it. He put aside Li Gui and said sternly to Wang Wu: "Captain Wang, your compassion is in the wrong place." , when these two thieves just grabbed the knife to kill Captain Lu, they didn't hesitate at all! What's more, the thieves were seriously injured and dying, so it would be better to kill him with one knife, so as to save him from suffering! "

Wang Wu lowered his head until Chen Xiaomu finished scolding him, and then he said cautiously: "Your Highness, just now I heard the thief's voice begging for mercy, and it seemed to be a woman's voice."

"Woman?" Chen Xiaomu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect this. He frowned and thought for a while, then told Wang Wudao: "Captain Wang, since you have such a heart of a Buddha, then I will hand over this thief to you, whether he lives or lives. It’s all up to you!”

"This...!" Wang Wu didn't expect that Chen Xiaomu would arrange it like this, which made him feel helpless for a moment.

Chen Xiaomu didn't want to waste time here and said directly to Lu Yi beside him: "Captain Lu, let the archers cover us and go to the two groups who are fighting!"

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, then said "Here", and the team returned to the previous guard formation, except that the original position of Wang Wu was filled by an archery master designated by Lu Yi. When he saw this standing Chen Xiaomu suddenly felt relieved when he saw four sharp arrows with carved feathers on the bowstring of the archer beside him.

Carefully came to the place where the two groups were fighting. As expected, Chen Xiaomu found that one of the groups was indeed Wei Yuxin and her subordinates wearing grimaces. However, the intensity of the fight shocked all of them. There were already people lying on the ground. There were seven or eight corpses of people wearing black night clothes. Wei Yuxin's men were now badly damaged. There were four people with grimaces lying on the ground. Even Yu Datou, who had just come out of the princess's mansion to inquire about the news, I don't know where he was killed. Now he is lying on his back among the corpses of men in black. The ghost-headed sword he used is stuck straight into his chest. At this time, the two groups are fighting in full swing. On average, one person is wearing a knife. The man with a grimace was surrounded by two or three men in black. Although so many officers and soldiers came at once, no one had time to take care of them. Both sides were tightly entangled by each other, and they could only watch helplessly as these officers and soldiers would Surround yourself.

Because it was dark, Chen Xiaomu searched the group of fighters for a long time, and then with a little moonlight in the sky, he saw Wei Yuxin alone fighting with five men in black. Both sides were going back and forth with murderous intent. They all wanted to kill their opponents with one move. After repeated confirmations, Chen Xiaomu pointed at the five men in black fighting around Wei Yuxin, and said to the archers guarding him: "See those five men surrounding him?" Did one man kill the man in black?"

The archer looked carefully in the direction of Chen Xiaomu's finger, and then said in a low voice: "Prince-in-law, I saw it. The person being surrounded seems to be a woman."

"Well, don't you have good eyesight?" Chen Xiaomu praised, and then he changed the subject and said: "Look at these five thieves in black attacking a woman. I think it is really hateful. If you can shoot him down with an arrow, How about I give you one hundred taels of silver each for every one of these thieves shot dead or wounded?"

"Prince-in-law, are you telling the truth?" The archer thought he heard wrongly. You know, the one hundred taels of silver at this time is equivalent to one hundred thousand yuan in later generations. If all five of them were shot down by him, , that's five hundred taels of silver. Even if he had to serve as a soldier for two more lifetimes, he would not be able to earn so much money. Originally, their royal guards were the best paid in the entire Zheng army, and they only paid no more than a month. Two taels of silver were roughly equivalent to two thousand dollars in later generations. Such a big gap certainly made the archer overjoyed.

Chen Xiaomu nodded, "Of course it's true!" But he immediately warned, "You have to look for it before you shoot. If you shoot the woman who is being besieged, not only will you not get the money, but I will also punish you." !”

When the archer heard this, his fighting power instantly exploded. He raised his thumb and wiped it on his lips. He said confidently: "Prince-in-law, just show me. I have been following my father in the mountains since I was ten years old." I have been hunting and practicing archery for more than ten years, and I rarely miss. I don’t believe that these thieves in black are more difficult to deal with than tigers and leopards in the mountains! After saying that, I started to draw my bow and nock an arrow. The arrowhead of the carved-feather arrow shone slightly in the moonlight. Before Chen Xiaomu could react, he heard a "pop" and a carved-feather arrow flew away like a shooting star with a whistling sound. He went out, and in the blink of an eye, the second arrow on the bowstring followed the butt of the first arrow and jumped out of the bowstring."

At the beginning, this group of men in black prepared to rely on their self-righteous kung fu to fight Wei Yuxin and his subordinates alone. Unexpectedly, Wei Yuxin killed four of his men in just one encounter. , and then suddenly woke up, knowing that they had encountered a tough situation, so they quickly changed their fighting style, relying on their own large numbers of people, using their own original formation, divided into groups of several people, and formed a formation to attack Wei Yuxin and others. , this can be troublesome, as few as two or three people form a group, but what is very powerful like Wei Yuxin is five people forming a group, making up for each other's shortcomings or flaws, and sometimes it is difficult to find each other. A flaw, but before you can deliver a fatal blow, your companions in the formation will immediately find it to make up for it. Therefore, Wei Yuxin and his subordinates can only engage in a bitter battle with their opponents. Some of them are slightly weaker and will be found by the opponent. Mingmen was killed.

The five men in black were concentrating on fighting with Wei Yuxin. A slight discrepancy between the masters could easily lead to death in an instant. Although they saw a group of officers and soldiers surrounding them, in fact no one dared to be distracted. The number of officers and soldiers in the group didn't seem to be very large, so these men in black didn't pay much attention to it. They could only try their best to kill more than ten people with grimaces and strong martial arts skills in a short time, and then deal with these people with their backhands. There are only a few dozen officers and soldiers, and it's not like chopping melons and vegetables. "

At this moment, the two daggers in Wei Yuxin's hands seemed to be flying up and down like two butterflies, disappearing and disappearing, pointing here and there, while the long swords in the hands of the five men in black surrounding her did not give in and did not fall down at all. The wind sometimes attacked together, and sometimes covered each other to find gaps. The two sides were fighting back and forth, and it was inextricable. At this time, the sharp whistle of an object breaking through the air suddenly sounded in their ears, and one of the men in black shouted loudly. , "There is a hidden weapon!" The five men in black performed the dragon's tail swing almost at the same time. At the same time, there was only a "whoosh" sound and a carved feather arrow flew close to the ear of the man in black who just spoke. After passing by, before he could take a breath, the second arrow came to him again. The man in black had quick eyes and quick hands. He chopped Huashan with one move, changed his sword into a knife, and split the second arrow into two pieces. What was even more troublesome was this The third arrow behind the second arrow also came in succession at this moment. The man in black could not dodge, so he had to act cruelly, suddenly opened his mouth and made a "snap" sound, biting the head of the third arrow with his teeth, which made him absolutely hopeless. What they didn't expect was that the third arrow was actually followed by a fourth arrow. This is called a chain of arrows in archery. Even with three heads and six arms, he probably couldn't dodge this arrow. He could only watch it helplessly, "Pfft." "A sound pierced into his chest, and then his heart tightened, and he lost consciousness and fell to the ground! "

Wei Yuxin here is not a vegetarian. She saw that the remaining four men in black were distracted for a moment and there was no chance to change the formation. She moved the knife like lightning and chopped off the neck of the man in black closest to her with a click. Heads on! "

"Quickly turn into a three-dimensional formation!" A man in black in the middle shouted when he saw this, and the remaining two men in black immediately rushed over upon hearing the sound, and they were back to back with him, forming a defensive formation with each other's horns. When the three men in black were still in shock, they heard two sounds of "pop, pop". The man in black standing in front of the horn was hit by a carved feather arrow in his forehead and chest. He fell to the ground without even saying "hmm". On the ground, three of the horns suddenly lost one corner. Wei Yuxin took the opportunity to use a wind-chasing knife, raised the knife with his hand, and neatly chopped off the head of another man in black. The last man in black was beaten. Whistle, he quickly ran away. Wei Yuxin did not move forward to catch up. The short knife in his hand came out and hit the man in the back. At the same time, two eagle-feather arrows shot by the archers beside Chen Xiaomu also came in the wind, poof. It penetrated into the back of the man in black.

The archer lowered the hard bow in his hand and looked at Chen Xiaomu, wondering: "Prince-in-law, the young man's arrow and the woman's knife seem to have hit the black-clothed thief at the same time. How do we calculate this?"

Chen Xiaomu felt happy, waved his hand and said cheerfully: "This counts as your entire one hundred taels of silver, haha."

The men in black who were fighting on the field, after hearing the whistle, began to break away from their opponents and prepare to retreat. In this way, they left many loopholes for their opponents. From time to time, men in black fell down on the field, wailing, The two daggers in Wei Yuxin's hands were like two white fish in the waves, disappearing and appearing in the fighting crowd. Wherever the blades touched, the standing figure of the man in black was almost no longer visible.

Chen Xiaomu watched for a long time, and suddenly remembered the war scenes in the movies he saw in later generations. He handed the Fengming Sword to Li Guibang next to him, then clasped his hands in the shape of a trumpet around his mouth and shouted: "Thieves in black, listen up. Well, if you want to survive, throw away the weapons in your hands, hold your head in your hands, and give up resistance is your only way out!"

Chen Xiaomu's sudden voice sounded particularly loud in this night of clattering swords. Everyone who was fighting on the field couldn't help but be startled when they heard it. Wei Yuxin also shouted: "Have you heard what Chen's consort said? ? Put down your weapons and spare your lives!"

Originally, these men in black saw that the situation was over and resisted desperately just to escape and survive. Many of them had already been scarred, not to mention that several of their leaders had been killed when they besieged Wei Yuxin. Now they have a chance to survive. Everyone was overjoyed at the opportunity and rushed to throw away the weapons in their hands and put their hands on top of their hands.

After the fight, Wei Yuxin counted the number of his subordinates and found that two people were killed and three were injured. He couldn't help but feel sad. He walked up to Chen Xiaomu in three steps and said angrily: "To protect your princess. Mansion, you made me hurt so many subordinates at once, how do you want me to explain to my master when I go back?"

Facing Wei Yuxin's questioning, Chen Xiaomu didn't know what to say for a moment. He was originally here to help, but he didn't expect that he had lost so many people. No one could explain it, so he had no choice but to use money to make up for it. After a moment of silence, Chen Xiao said dullly: "Miss Yuxin, you see that this person is dead and cannot be resurrected. Do you think this will work? I will give each of the people who died in the battle one thousand taels of silver as a pension, and each of the injured people will be given a thousand taels of silver as a pension." Give me five hundred taels for healing and healing."

As soon as Chen Xiaomu said these words, the subordinates behind Wei Yuxin were shocked. They were all children from poor families. They had never seen even five taels and one ingot of silver in their lives. Now Chen Xiaomu actually wanted to give it to them. Those who died in the war received a pension of one thousand taels of silver. Although he had spent this money without his life, from then on his family lived a wealthy life with no worries about food and clothing. Thinking about it makes people a little envious, and even some people I secretly regretted it in my heart. It would have been better if I had to die in the battle just now. Even if it didn't work, it would be better to let these black-clothed thieves chop me. There are still five hundred taels of silver left! My family in the province has lived a life of hunger and cold all year round.

At this time, Li Gui, Lu Yi and others who were following Chen Xiaomu were all stunned when they heard this. They said to themselves, dear, this prince-in-law is really generous. The pension of one thousand taels of silver is enough for me to serve as an official. He died twenty times in the army, alas! It seems that from now on, when you follow the Prince Consort, you can no longer spare your life, even if you are injured, it is a good thing! "
