"Another narrow victory, our three brothers survived again."
"I was in Daqi and was attacked by thieves. This is my first time."
Wu Xiao grinned, put away the Yanling knife stained with human blood, and looked behind him. The fire was soaring into the sky, and the Dahuang Posthouse was enveloped in black smoke, and the crackling sound of gunpowder explosions could be heard from time to time.
"Big man Lin, are you okay?"
"Two mosquito bites."
As Lin Yu spoke, he cut off the two arrow feathers hanging on the armor with a knife, sat down on the ground, looked at the fire in the sky, and gasped for air.
Wu Xiao felt relieved when he saw that Lin Yu was fine. During the fight just now, Lin Yu rushed to the front and waved the door panel, blocking all the Korean attacks. If it weren't for this steel giant, the Imperial Guards would have I don’t know how many people will die today.
"I didn't expect that Junzhou would turn out like this. What exactly does Jin Dajiu want to do? If Da Qi's uncle doesn't do it, he will betray the Supreme Emperor."
Pei Dahu ignored Wu Xiao. He was silent for a while, raised his head and looked around slowly, and said to everyone: "Let's go. The battle with him is not over yet. Let's go to Junzhou."
"Going to Junzhou?"
Junzhou is already a purgatory.
It was originally a drama about the imperial guards arresting corrupt officials and bringing them back for interrogation. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this. A large-scale riot was about to begin, and the empire once again faced the test of life and death.
Wu Xiao murmured: "The Supreme Emperor is on every possible precaution. If he is not prepared, his relatives will become rich. My uncle is now the King of Xiangyang. He kills people whenever he wants. He is really crazy."
"Stop talking about relatives."
Pei Dahu reminded his men, "Everyone in the imperial court regards us as back-party members. It's just for others to talk about it. We can't say it ourselves. We have to avoid suspicion."
Wu Xiao quickly stopped talking.
"The only people the Supreme Emperor can trust are the Imperial Guards, besides the coir raincoat guards. Don't make it difficult for him. Capture Jin Dajiu, fulfill the Supreme Emperor's will, and avenge the dead brothers. Otherwise, if we go back empty-handed, we won't survive. .”
Wu Xiao nodded, yes, go back empty-handed. Even if the Supreme Emperor intends to protect him, other factions will not give up. The Supreme Emperor has declared war on his relatives, is it possible that he still wants to kill the civil servants and generals?
However, can they really accomplish this with just a few of them?
"If we can get the assistance of the Fourth Corps, it won't be a big problem to deal with the North Korean rebels. I heard that some of Qin Jianxun's troops were recruited to participate in the construction of Tianxin City. They should still be stationed in Junzhou. As long as we can find this troops, we can issue the edict of the Supreme Emperor. Show it to their chief officer, and then he can order soldiers and horses to exterminate the rebels."
Wu Xiao said worriedly: "I'm afraid that these two have colluded. If that is the case, Huguang will no longer be the Huguang of Daqi. With three...seven of us?"
As Sanyuan Knight spoke, he looked around and found that there were only four men left standing around him. Adding him and Pei Dahu and Lin Yu, there were exactly seven.
It's a bit like the Mihara Seven Heroes.
Pei Dahu waved his hand, interrupting Wu Xiao's worries:
"Seven people are enough to do a big job. Let's give it a try. Even if we can't capture this thief alive, we will kill him and take his head back to Shenyang to give an explanation to the Supreme Emperor and the court."
"good!"
Everyone nodded, and Pei Dahu ordered the troops to be divided into two groups. He and Lin Yu continued to go to Junzhou to arrest the culprit. The other group, led by Wu Xiao, went to the vicinity of Tianxin City to find Qin Jianxun's troops.
But what if Qin Jianxun also rebels?
Finally, everyone thought about this problem, so everyone fell into silence.
If that were the case, they would have no choice but to die in Huguang and serve the imperial court.
The plan was made and they separated at the Sanchai intersection.
Wu Xiao took three of his men and rode eastward. Forty miles to the east was the Tianxin City construction site.
Lin Yu and Pei Dahu took one of their men and continued to move south. Junzhou City was not far to the south.
Wu Xiao and the others walked east for a few miles, and the post roads gradually disappeared, leaving only some trails on the ground.
"Hu San'er, look ahead, are there any ambush?"
Among the four, Hu San'er, who had the best riding skills, was sent out to scout. The front horse was about two miles away from the rear horse, and communication could be maintained at any time through the command flag.
This is a method Wu Xiao learned from Ye Buzuo. Most of the Imperial Guards are elites in the army, and some of them were originally Ye Buzai, so they are particularly handy in doing tasks such as sentinels.
The majestic war horses galloped past on the country road, their hooves splashing clouds of smoke on the ground.
After a while, Hu Saner came back. Wu Xiao asked anxiously on horseback:
"how?"
"Master Wu, there is no one in the village in front. The people seem to have fled. There are a few lying at the entrance of the village, and wild dogs are gnawing. They don't know whether to live or die. There is no ambush around."
After hearing this, Wu Xiao was silent for a moment, asked Hu Saner to return to the team, and then said to the three people behind him:
"Let's go over and take a look. Damn it, Da Qi is also starving."
Wu Xiao spat thick phlegm on the dusty dirt road, whipped and galloped past, with three cavalry following closely behind.
After a while, the four riders arrived at the village Hu San'er was talking about. They saw a crumbling wall from a distance, which was smoked black by firewood. It looked like it had just experienced a war, and it looked like it had been robbed by thieves.
"Hu San'er, Song Wan, you are on the east and west sides of the village. Lao Ma, come with me to have a look."
The old horse was riding a war horse that was not old, following Wu Xiao, holding a short flintlock gun that had been filled with ammunition.
They saw a group of wild dogs with red eyes at the entrance of the village. The wild dogs surrounded two or three "dead people" and barked like crazy. While barking, they began to bite several dead people.
When he heard someone coming from behind, the wild dog not only did not retreat, but turned his head toward the person, bared his teeth, and let out a low growl with red eyes.
"They are afraid that I will snatch their human flesh to eat," Wu Xiao had been in Shaanxi for a long time and had seen too many scenes of wild dogs devouring hungry people. Faced with such cruel and terrifying scenes, he could still remain calm and explain to his two men behind him as if nothing had happened.
Song Wan said with disdain: "Master Wu, do you think these dogs want to eat us?"
"Why don't you think about it? After eating human flesh, they will go crazy. When they see a living person, they can't help drooling. Dogs eat people, just like wolves eat people. They start with the internal organs first, and many people are half eaten. It’s been an hour and I’m still panting..."
Song Wan and Hu San'er knew about their boss's early life and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Master Wu, why don't we leave first? It won't be good if wild dogs surround us later."
Wu Xiao chuckled, ignored Song Wan, and pointed at a lump of flesh and blood among the dogs.
"Look over there, there is a living person near the wall. Go and save him. He may know about Tianxin City."
Song Wan followed Wu Xiao's hand and saw a gray-faced man lying among the ruins of the wall. The man lowered his head and stared at the ground. For some unknown reason, he was not discovered by the wild dogs.
Hu San'er murmured to himself: "Look at the clothes he is wearing, aren't they the ones the Ministry of Works issued to the conscripts in Tianxin City last year?"
Before Song Wan could look, Hu Saner had already leapt forward, raised his saber and slashed at the wild dog that was still eating the corpse.
The Zhengfu sitting under the wall was obviously injured. He lowered his head and was waiting for death. Suddenly he heard a shrill scream from around him. When he looked up, he saw three horse soldiers coming towards him. Any wild dog that was touched by the sabers in their hands would be killed.
Zhengfu's dim eyes gathered again, full of desire for life.
