Chapter 106: Mr. Duan Qian is awake in the world
After the two entered the concierge, they saw two sentries who were supposed to be keeping watch overnight, lying on the table and sleeping soundly, smelling of alcohol and snoring loudly.
Obviously, after the two guards received half a catty of wine and half a catty of mutton yesterday, they were not polite to me and ate all the wine and meat. Soon the potion took effect and the two of them slept like dead pigs until now. Didn't even turn over.
The black dog and the red wolf looked at each other, and as if they had made an agreement, they each came behind a guard and gently placed their sharp daggers at the throats of the two guards.
The black dog nodded to the red wolf, and the two of them used force at the same time, and the dagger instantly cut the guard's throat.
The two doormen woke up suddenly, but it was too late. Their mouths were covered by the black dog and the red wolf respectively, and they were pinned to the table, unable to make any sound.
The two people instinctively raised their hands to grab the person holding them down, but the strength of the black dog and the red wolf was too great, and no matter how hard they struggled, it was in vain.
All the strength in the body was rapidly drained from the gap in the throat. After a few breaths, the waving hands of the two people fell feebly in mid-air, and their lives were taken away in their sleep in a daze.
In fact, Lian Yutang wanted to kill these two guards when Xi Xingchen and others entered Pingshun Camp, but Xi Xingchen stopped them in the end and saved his life from the gate of hell.
It's just that the Pingshun camp was having an unlucky year, and was targeted by killers and bandits at the same time, but he didn't realize it. When the biggest crisis came, he still slept like a dead pig.
A person's luck will always run out. The same goes for these two guards. Their luck in this life was all used up when Xi Xingchen and others attacked the camp. When the bandits attacked the camp, they could not escape the disaster of life and death.
The purpose of Black Dog and Red Wolf entering Pingshun Camp was to relieve the sentries of Pingshun Camp. Therefore, after killing the guard, they moved forward to several barracks. All the soldiers in the barracks were lying in a mess like guard. On the bed on the floor, he was sleeping soundly, smelling of alcohol.
Seeing this scene, they both realized that the entire Pingshun camp must have been drunk last night.
The black wolf and the red wolf were not polite, waving the daggers in their hands and killing them all the way.
The sword flashed and blood spurted out. A dozen soldiers from the Pingshun Battalion were wiped on their necks by black dogs and red wolves in their sleep.
When Black Dog and Red Wolf came out of the third barracks, they suddenly heard someone above them shouting: "Raise your head!"
After entering Pingshun Camp, because things were going too smoothly, the alertness of Black Dog and Red Wolf decreased. Therefore, after hearing the sound, they instinctively raised their heads, only to see a cloud of snowflakes falling from the sky.
The person who came was none other than Lian Yutang.
It turned out that after learning that bandits were coming to attack the camp, Xi Xingchen looked at Duan Derong with a mocking look on his face and said, "Master Duan, it seems that your relationship with the bandits is not that good either!"
Duan Derong suddenly blushed and said with a sullen look on his face: "I have no friendship with them to begin with?"
"Then you helped the bandits to kill us last night?" Lian Yutang obviously didn't believe Duan Derong's words, sneered and said in a scornful tone.
"I sent the troops only after receiving the order from the county magistrate Wang Bozhen." Duan Derong argued.
Duan Derong saw Xi Xingchen and others looking at him like they were idiots, so he had to chuckle and said: "I admit, I know about Wang Bozhen's affair with the bandits in Huangfeng Village, and I also know that the little yellow croaker Wang Bozhen gave me was actually Huang Feng At the same time, I also know that the person behind what Wang Bozhen entrusted me to do is the bandit from Huangfeng Village."
"You are really sober." Hearing this, Xi Xingchen couldn't help but said sarcastically.
Lian Yutang was almost killed by Duan Derong yesterday. He said angrily: "Since you know everything, why do you still do things for them?"
"What can I do? Huangfeng Village has at least two thousand soldiers and horses, and I only have these few soldiers, which are not enough to fill people's teeth." Duan Derong smiled bitterly: "Besides, everyone in Wan County's officialdom is here If I didn't collude with them in collecting money from bandits, those officials would have done it to me directly without the bandits having to do it themselves."
Xi Xingchen was speechless when he heard this.
If Duan Derong said this to others, they might not believe it.
But Xi Xingchen is different. He has personally experienced that Wan County Magistrate Dai Andong and County Prime Minister Wang Bozhen are colluding with the bandits in Huangfeng Village. The two top chief executives of Wan County are like this. So what will the people below them be like? , Xi Xingchen could figure it out even by thinking with his toes.
Seeing that Xi Xingchen had stopped talking, Duan Derong knew that his explanation had played a certain role, so he added: "Although I have received money from bandits, I can swear to God, but I really have not had direct contact with the bandits in Huangfeng Village Pass."
"If swearing is useful, then what's the use of us?" Lian Yutang rolled his eyes.
"Then what do you want me to do to believe it?" Duan Derong also became angry.
The old shopkeeper looked at the three people arguing and suddenly said: "Just a reminder, the bandits are coming in soon. Do you really want to keep fighting?"
Hearing what the old shopkeeper said, even Yutang and Duan Derong looked at Xi Xingchen.
Lian Yutang's meaning is very obvious, that is, you are the leader of the Mo family, and I will listen to you whatever you want.
Although Duan Derong is the Commander-in-Chief of Pingshun Camp, bandits attacked Pingshun Camp. At this time, he should have taken charge of the overall situation, but the embarrassing thing is that his current status as Commander-in-Chief is that of a prisoner.
The reason why Duan Derong also looked at Xi Xingchen was because Duan Derong had long seen that Xi Xingchen was the leader of Lian Yutang's group.
Since my life and fortune are in Xi Xingchen's hands, I am a prisoner and I have no say. You can say whatever you want.
Xi Xingchen looked at Duan Derong and said, "Sir Duan, the bandits came to pacify Shunying. What are your countermeasures?"
Duan Derong saw that Xi Xingchen had thrown the hot potato to him again, so he could only say: "The current plan is to wake up the soldiers of Pingshun Camp first."
"It's too late!" said the old shopkeeper.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the old shopkeeper explained: "My medicine is very overbearing. Ordinary people take it and have to sleep for a whole day and night before they wake up. After waking up, their limbs will be weak and it will take two or three days to wake up." Recover?"
"Didn't you bring the antidote?" Lian Yutang asked.
The old shopkeeper glared strangely and said angrily: "We are here to steal the camp, why are we bringing that thing?"
"How many people came from the bandits?" Xi Xingchen asked the Shadow Hall disciple who came to report the news.
"There are at least two to three hundred people, and everyone is equipped with a firecracker." The Shadow Hall disciple replied.
"There are only a dozen of us, so we can only do it coldly." Lian Yutang spread his hands, looking helpless.
Seeing that Xi Xingchen was silent, the old shopkeeper was afraid that Xi Xingchen would do something stupid, so he quickly said to Xi Xingchen: "Let's retreat before the bandits arrive! Anyway, they are dog-eat-dog, and we can't take the risk."
