These people were all soldiers wearing iron armor. They were supposed to be an important force guarding the border and resisting the barbarians, but at this time they were targeting their own people.
Perhaps, from the moment they chose to turn their backs, Wu Qi could no longer be considered one of their own, but an alien that was different from them.
Although Wu Qi resisted vigorously, he only wanted to cut the shameless Zhao Zhen with one knife. However, he only had one person and one sword. Surrounded by many soldiers, he could not get close to Zhao Zhen at all.
Manpower is sometimes scarce! Wu Qi finally drank in hatred and fell into a pool of blood, while the soldiers were still stabbing Wu Qi's body with their spears expressionlessly, as if they were afraid that he was not dead.
"Okay!" Looking at the bloody corpse, Zhao Zhen stopped them and said, "Let's get rid of his men!"
After walking a few steps, he paused and added: "By the way, cut off this guy's head!"
"Yes!" The soldier expressionlessly accepted the order and cut off Wu Qi's head, and then walked to the front hall under the leadership of Zhao Zhen.
Lao Ma and the others couldn't help but feel worried after waiting for a long time before Wu Qi came out. But considering that this is Cangzhou Mansion and this is the residence of the governor, there are probably few places that are safer than here!
Furthermore, it can be clearly seen along the way that the war has obviously not spread here yet, so there should be no need to worry too much!
Dahei drank several cups of tea, and his mouth was very bitter. He really couldn't understand why the big shots liked to drink this kind of thing. Isn't it just water soaked in broken leaves? What's so good about it?
Putting the tea cup down again, Da Hei said: "Old Ma, the team has been gone for so long, why haven't you come back yet?"
Lao Ma frowned slightly and said, "There may be something to discuss. The thoughts of the Cangzhou Prefect are not something we can guess!"
Dahei curled his lips and said: "It's just trouble! If you ask me, send us troops as soon as possible, fight back directly, and beat up those good-natured Southern Barbarians!"
Everyone present basically had this idea. On the one hand, they came here to report the news, but more importantly, they came here with the idea of bringing in reinforcements.
As long as this side reacts quickly and directly sends troops to kill the barbarians, there is a high probability that the barbarians can be caught off guard! However, I don’t know what the commander here is thinking, but this reaction is really a bit slow!
The old horse said: "Wait a little longer!"
He was also a little confused and uneasy at the moment. Wu Qi never came out after he went in, and they were arranged to drink tea here. They were not given any explanation of the decision, and seemed to just leave them alone.
"Someone is coming!" Lin Yan looked somewhere and said suddenly.
Although his strength has greatly regressed due to his previous injuries, he was once a capable master after all, and he still has basic sensory abilities.
Not long after he finished speaking, a large number of soldiers surrounded the place where everyone was.
"What's going on?" This is the question that everyone has in mind at this moment. They were obviously here to report a message, but why were they suddenly surrounded by soldiers who seemed to be trying to deal with them.
The three captains of the cavalry team have been sent elsewhere. This team is led by Wu Qi himself, and the rest are not very high-level.
Lao Ma walked out bravely and said, "Sir, I wonder what happened? Where is Captain Wu?"
The soldiers separated, and Zhao Zhen walked out slowly and said: "Wu Qi is a southern barbarian spy who conspired to assassinate the commander. He committed a heinous crime and was killed on the spot by this captain!"
After saying that, he winked at the soldier next to him, and the soldier threw something in front of Lao Ma's feet. It was a human head covered with blood, and his eyes stared straight at him with unblinking eyes. Yes, it’s Wu Qi!
Lao Ma was so frightened that he took a step back, and then said in a trembling voice: "Did you kill him?"
Not only Lao Ma, but everyone else was shocked by the scene in front of them! They never thought that Wu Qi, who went in to report the situation, would be accused of conspiring to assassinate the commander, and then be killed like this!
They have been following Wu Qi for a long time, and they will not believe it no matter what.
He is a Nanman spy! Is this a joke? Are there any spies who risk their lives to guard the border of Tang Dynasty? If it's acting, then the acting skills are too realistic and the effort is too great!
Zhao Zhen continued: "This captain now orders you to put down your weapons immediately and accept the investigation! If you disobey, you will be killed on the spot!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They would surrender their weapons without asking any questions. If they didn't listen, they would kill them on the spot. Why did they seem so impatient?
Lao Ma and the others were not fools. Lao Xu, who was born in Tan Ma, was also in the same team with them. He quietly approached Lao Ma and whispered: "There is something really wrong with this Zhao. The death of the captain is very strange. He is absolutely impossible." What kind of bullshit southern barbarian spy is that! Get ready!"
Since Wu Qi cannot have a problem, then the problem is with Zhao Zhen! He may be the real traitor!
Lao Ma quietly made a gesture behind his back. When the people behind him saw it, they immediately understood and put their hands on the handle of the knife, ready to deal with the next situation at any time.
When Zhao Zhen saw the actions of these people, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "It seems that you are planning to fight to the end! Let's kill them all!"
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers swarmed forward, but he slowly retreated behind them, observing the field from a safe position.
Lao Ma and others looked at Zhao Zhen who was hiding behind the soldier, secretly cursing his shamelessness and wanting to take action, but they had no means to fight the enemy remotely.
Their crossbows were confiscated previously, perhaps to prepare for this situation! Just to avoid making them suspicious, the swords they carried were not confiscated. Otherwise, everyone would have no choice but to wait and die!
"Get ready to break out!" Lao Ma said in a deep voice, and then drew out the horizontal knife.
Even so, he was not sure that he could successfully break out. Surrounded by so many soldiers, there were only twenty of them. Even if they could rush out of the mansion, they would not be able to run very far without horses!
And don't forget, they are in the city now, but the originally safe rear is now like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den to them, and the people who were originally in the same camp have turned into life-threatening ghosts, approaching them mercilessly!
"kill!"
Both sides started fighting at the same time, shouting and killing loudly. As soon as Pu came into contact, several people on Lao Ma's side were killed. After all, they were cavalry. Without the help of the horses, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
If this continues, all of us will be wiped out! Death does not scare Lao Ma. What he is really afraid of is that if the news cannot be conveyed, people like him will die in vain!
The truth will be sealed, and I and others will be accused of treason after their death, but the real traitors are at large, looking like a righteous man, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, which is disgusting!
But faced with this predicament, he had no way out of it, and couldn't help but think a little desperately: "Is it really going to be over?"
At this moment, "swish swish" sounds broke through the air one after another, and then Lao Ma saw several black balls flying towards him, and then
