"Why hasn't Lao Mo come back yet?"
"Haha, you don't know him yet? He couldn't take his eyes away when he saw Widow Li at the head of the village. Why don't you go and buy some rice and noodles and stay there for a while?"
"Do you want me to call him back?"
"Forget it, who wouldn't be confused after seeing Widow Li's body? If he wants to stay a little longer, just stay a little longer. Anyway, things are going on here, and all the villagers in this village..."
The speaker made a gesture of wiping his neck. Others seemed not to care about this kind of massacre of a village, and quickly changed the topic to talk about something casual.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this time, the courtyard door rang.
"Who is it?" Several people asked, drawing their swords.
"Master, do you want to eat steamed buns or steamed buns?"
“I don’t want to eat steamed buns or steamed buns on such a cold day!”
"Do you want to eat mint ice?"
Seeing that the codes were correct, a few people put their knives back into their scabbards, and then one person ran to open the door.
There was a loud "Bang!"
Before the person who opened the door could see who was coming back, he felt a pain in his chest and was kicked into the yard.
"Don't even move!"
The guards brought by Tang Ping rushed in. They were all elites selected from the special forces.
After entering the courtyard, they maintained the best formation and watched everyone in the courtyard.
One of them tried to run back to the back room, but was shot in the thigh by a crossbow. He rolled on the ground holding his leg and wailed.
In the small courtyard, there were only five people who opened the door. When the people in the room heard something happened outside, they immediately closed the door.
"Listen, people inside, you have been surrounded. Put down your weapons and come out and surrender. I will give you a few minutes to think it over. I hope you will cooperate and strive for leniency!" Tang Ping shouted inside with a loudspeaker.
The other two teams of Datang sergeants who were called to patrol the border surrounded the mountain village tightly to ensure that no fish slipped through the net.
"Sir, the people from the Beiyan Protectorate are coming soon, why do we have to give them a few minutes to think about it?"
"Ah...haha..." Tang Ping put down the loudspeaker: "I just wanted to shout like this. Tell them to throw the shock bomb first!"
It's really hard for ordinary people to buy this stuff. Tang Ping also got some through a security company of Master Gou's family.
I have to say that if you want to storm a room like this, shock bombs are the magic weapon!
Tang Ping's guard cat was under the window of the room. He used his backhand weapon to poke a hole in the window, and then threw the shock bomb in.
The people inside were really frightened and frightened. They were surrounded for some reason. They heard Tang Ping say that he had a few minutes to think about it. He was thinking of countermeasures when several small cylinders were thrown in unexpectedly.
"What's this?"
"I don't know, throw it out!"
A man rushed forward to pick it up and throw it out. Then his vision blurred and he could no longer see anything, accompanied by a huge and ear-piercing roar.
"Ah, my eyes, my eyes!"
Several people roared with all their strength, but they couldn't even hear their own voices.
He could only pull out the long knife from his waist and slash wildly, and then he was quickly captured by Tang Ping's guards who rushed in from outside the door.
"Ping Guogong, we have captured them all." About ten people were captured from the room. At this time, all the villagers were also invited out of their rooms.
"Let's go back to Guizhou City first."
This is the territory of the Yanbei Protectorate. Tang Ping also knows that the situation is urgent and there is no way to interrogate here.
The villagers all looked like honest people, but Tang Ping couldn't tell whether there were assassins among them, so he took them away first.
If it has nothing to do with them, Tang Ping will compensate them a large amount of money.
As soon as they left the village, the drone spotted a large group of cavalry rushing over.
"It's the cavalry from the Yanbei Protectorate, in formation!"
Tang Ping and the others did not expect that the other party would come so quickly. They could only say that Hou Junji was really good at leading troops.
All the Tang troops could only form a defensive formation first, surrounding the captured people and the villagers of this unknown village in the middle.
But they have less than 300 people, while the other party has at least 1,000 people.
Tang Ping's guards had put away their crossbows and replaced them with muskets.
The rumble of horse hooves got closer and closer.
However, the general leading the troops on the other side did not directly charge into the formation, but stopped two hundred meters away.
"Where did you come from? What do you want?"
A deputy general rode up and shouted.
"We are the border troops of Guizhou City, and we have been ordered to come here to capture Xi Zuo!" Tang Ping replied, putting on a Tang Dynasty military uniform.
"Why did the soldiers from Guizhou come to our Yanbei Protectorate?"
"Our soldiers in Guizhou are under the general orders of the Tang Dynasty. How come the Yanbei Protectorate is no longer a place of the Tang Dynasty?" Tang Ping asked.
"You!" The deputy general pointed his riding whip at Tang Ping, but he did not dare to truly say that the Yanbei Protectorate was not a place of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially now that Tang Ping has stationed troops in Guizhou with an army of 100,000, they are strictly ordered not to clash with the Guizhou army at will.
The reason why he hurriedly gathered people around him was because he didn't know the purpose of this border army from Guizhou.
This is his defense zone, he must come here.
"Since we are investigating a case, why are we taking away the villagers here?"
"We need to take these villagers back for investigation together. If they have nothing to do with this case, we will send them back. General, please make way!"
The adjutant's face was uncertain, and he didn't know whether he should let him go, but if he didn't let him go, he couldn't really have a conflict with the Tang army.
At this moment, one of the people caught by Tang Ping shouted: "They want to take us back to investigate Liu Bo's assassination!"
These prisoners were all tied together, but because there were too many cavalry from the Northern Yan Protectorate, only a few were left to guard them. By the time the Tang soldiers went up to cover his mouth, it was already too late.
"What? Liu Bo was stabbed to death?" The general's eyes widened.
He naturally knows who Liu Bo is. If Liu Bo is really dead, this will be a big event.
So the people captured now are assassins, and these assassins were captured from a small village in their Beiyan Protectorate, so...
Thinking of this, this pair of generals broke out in cold sweat.
This matter is beyond his ability to handle.
"General, please give way and let me wait until I return to resume my life!" Tang Ping shouted, and the Tang sergeant in front of him also assumed an attacking posture.
"No!" The deputy general wiped the sweat from his forehead. He also thought clearly. If these people were taken away by these Tang troops, it would all depend on what Tang Jun wrote about the assassins' confessions.
If it is said that they were sent by the Beiyan Protectorate, when all the witnesses and material evidence are available, the Beiyan Protectorate will be covered in yellow mud stuck to their crotch, which is either shit or shit.
Hearing the deputy general say no, the cavalrymen from the Beiyan Protectorate over there also raised their spears.
However, he did not dare to order a real charge. He could only raise his hand to ask his men to put down their weapons, and then said: "Although we all belong to the Tang Dynasty, it is against the rules for you to arrest people for crossing the border. I will report it to the top. They will make a decision, but until then, please stay here."
Tang Ping's eyes narrowed, and he knew that it was not impossible to rush over. After all, the dozens of guards he brought were armed with muskets. If they were to use them suddenly during the charge, the opponent's cavalry and horses would be in chaos.
However, there are many villagers among those arrested, and it is still unclear whether they colluded with the assassins.
And just now he had seen his old acquaintance Faceless among the assassins.
This old guy from the Wang family in Taiyuan has been deliberately plotting against Datang. Tang Ping wants to know how many more conspiracies he has.
If something unexpected happened while rushing out and the old guy escaped, then the result would be in vain.
"In that case, it's freezing cold now, let's go into the village and wait for you!"
Tang Ping waved his hand, and his men began to retreat slowly.
The lieutenant general didn't stop him. As long as these people stayed here, his mission would be completed. Whether he should keep these people or return them to Guizhou later depends on what he said.
"Sir, you go back to Guizhou first!" After finding a random room, Lao Cui took Tang Ping and said, "With so many border troops here, Hou Junji will definitely not do anything to them at this time."
"Where are the assassins?" Lao Du asked.
"He won't leave those assassins, otherwise it won't be true." Tang Ping replied: "I think it is most likely that he will work with us to find out the details of these assassins. Because he will not let this dirty water If it spills on yourself, the best way is to investigate with Datang."
"In this case, young master, please go back quickly. You are the biggest variable here. When Hou Junji sees you, I really don't know if he will attack you."
Although they felt that Hou Junji should not dare to touch Tang Ping now, no one dared to take the gamble.
Tang Ping hesitated for a moment, but then made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's take Wu Mian back first."
While he is here, the danger to the frontier troops is much greater than if he were not here. In this case, going back is the better choice.
Taking Lao Cui and Lao Du to the room where the assassins were imprisoned, Lao Cui went over to pull Wu Mian up.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. An assassin who was supposed to be tightly bound suddenly broke free. He took down Lao Cui with a backhand, and then quickly pulled out Lao Cui's waist knife and put it on his neck. superior.
"It's you!"
Tang Ping thought to himself that he was careless. This was the old servant Wu Mian, who could compete with old man Pei Min and Pei back then.
Because he was worried about Wang Qingluan's two children when he came out this time, he left Pei Min in Guizhou City, taking only Lao Cui, Lao Du and Xue Rengui with him.
I originally thought that with Xue Rengui as a sniper, even the most powerful master would be of no use.
I just didn't expect that the other party would suddenly attack in this room. Xue Rengui was squatting at a high point in the village, but he was unable to deal with the situation in this room.
"Boy Tang, is this guy your subordinate? Let's exchange one life for another. If you let my master go, I will let him go!"
"Son..."
Just as Lao Cui was about to speak, he was interrupted by Tang Ping.
"make a deal!"
"But how are you going to get out? You have also seen that not only are my people surrounding this place, but there are also people from the Beiyan Protectorate outside. They will not listen to me."
Some people died, but not completely...
