"My lord, it's not that we can't do it, it's just that the weapons of those people were so unexpected. At first, those people didn't move at all, but suddenly thousands of arrows were fired, and each arrow was faster than the other, continuously, and continuously. The crossbows were so powerful that most of our companions were shot to death by them."
Qi Huan quickly explained,
"By the time we rushed in front of them, they were far from our opponents, but we didn't have enough manpower. After killing some people and grabbing back a prisoner and a jar of wine, we had to make an emergency retreat.
The failure of this operation was entirely due to insufficient intelligence..."
"Are you complaining that I didn't give you information? If I knew everything, what would I want you to do!"
Liu Jia threw the wine bowl in his hand to the ground.
Just now, she was tasting Haohan wine.
"My subordinates dare not!"
"Qi Huan, you have a background in assassination. You can't even do intelligence well. Who else can you assassinate? If you lose, you lose. Don't make so many excuses!"
"yes!"
Qi Huan lowered his head to hide the unwillingness in his eyes.
He didn't have time to do intelligence work at all, and Liu Jia was pressing so hard. He could only lead all his brothers to kill the people in Qingfeng Village. He didn't expect that the other party was so powerful.
But at least he had completed part of the mission, captured alive, asked for information, and brought back wine.
After so many brothers were killed and injured, he didn't even have a kind word to say, but instead he was scolded like this.
Qi Huan was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to explode. After all, the other party was his lord, and if the task was not completed beautifully, it was his fault.
"Okay, you guys can have a good rest here. You don't need to worry about the next thing."
"My subordinate understands."
Qi Huan raised his head and asked,
"I dare to ask my lord, are we going to take action against Qingfeng Village next? I can go and find out more information."
"No need, the county government will send troops to attack Qingfeng Village tomorrow, so you won't be needed."
After Liu Jia finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside.
The remaining thirty or so people in this team all bowed and respectfully sent their lord off.
After Liu Jia left the courtyard, she looked back at the courtyard door and said to the air,
"They were caught alive and presumably betrayed me. This place is no longer safe. People from Qingfeng Village may come back to assassinate me at any time, and this place will be exposed.
There is no use keeping these trashes. They know that I have too many dirty things. I will silence them tonight. "
"As commanded."
A deep male voice came from the darkness behind him.
Liu Jia turned around and returned to the Liu Mansion. Where she had just been standing, a figure in black appeared, climbed over the eaves and walked over the wall into a house not far away.
There are three cunning rabbits in the cave. How can a smart person like Liu Jia only train people in one place and arrange his nest?
Not long after, the man in black who had just left came back with a group of men in black.
This group of people were all very skilled, carrying torches, kerosene and other materials in their hands. They entered the yard and accurately blocked all the vents. Then they entered the main room and poured all the kerosene in their hands into the passage opening. , and then threw the torch in.
A raging fire started burning immediately.
Then, they quickly closed the iron cover and pressed a big stone on top.
Without ventilation, the air inside will burn out quickly, the fire will be extinguished, and the people inside will definitely die. Moreover, it will not burn to the house above, and the ground will not be too hot, which can play an excellent role in keeping secrets.
These are professional killers.
After doing this, the men in black watched quietly to ensure that no one could escape.
However, on the roof not far from here, more than thirty men in black were lying there and watching carefully.
A younger man in black had tears streaming down his face.
"Brother Qi, is this...really done by my lord? We have done so many things for her and killed so many people, why would she kill us?
I don't believe it was the master who did it. She had no reason to kill us. Could it be someone from Qingfeng Village who did it? "
Qi Huan looked over there with cold eyes and said,
"Who else could she be? Apart from me, she is the only one who knows about the vents in our lair. It is impossible for the brothers who were captured by Qingfeng Village to know where our vents are.
But these people all found the vents accurately, and used the simplest and fastest method to seize our weak spots and kill us! "
A knowledgeable man in black said,
"Brother Qi is right. If they rush in to kill us, the thirty or so of us can kill half of them at least. But they will burn them when they come. They must be prepared in advance.
My lord...Liu Jia has long planned to get rid of us.
If Boss Qi hadn't been vigilant this time, discovered something was wrong with Liu Jia, and said he wanted to take us out to hide for a night, we wouldn't have been able to escape, and we would have been burned to charcoal by now. "
"But...we have done so many things for her, why would she kill us?"
The young man in black asked doubtfully.
"It's because we have done too many things for her and we know too much. She has long wanted to erase us. This time we have too many casualties, which is her best chance to erase us.
She not only trained our team of killers, but she secretly knows how many more there are. "
These surviving men in black all share a common concern. After working hard for so many years, they finally ended up as cunning rabbits and dead lackeys.
"Brother Qi, let's go kill her, kill Liu Jia, and fight her to the death."
The young man in black gritted his teeth.
Qi Huan patted his shoulder and said,
"Li Mo, remember, I rescued you in the hope that our remaining brothers can live well, instead of letting you die again!"
"Then...brother Qi, what should we do now?"
Li Mo asked.
"Leave the county government first. Li Er and the others were captured alive by Qingfeng Village. I will sneak into Qingfeng Village to see if they are dead. If they are not dead, I will find a way to rescue them. After that, we will find another way out."
"good."
Under the leadership of Qi Huan, more than thirty men in black sneaked towards the south gate in order.
Qingshui County's main defense is against the barbarians in the north. There are almost no patrols on the south wall, only one or two people standing guard.
They came to the city wall, knocked out the guards, slipped down the city wall with ropes, and ran quickly towards the south.
After traveling for two hours, they finally arrived at the hilltop north of Qingfeng Village.
After arriving, they found a secluded place. Qi Huan said,
"You all wait for me here. I'll go in and take a look. I'll try to rescue them if I can. If they die, I'll come back by myself."
