Mrs. Lianhua became irritable when she heard this sound, and the bad premonition appeared again, "Why are you running? What are you so worried about?"
The man was lying on the ground, his voice trembling, "In the early hours of this morning, I don't know who pushed down the door where the refugees were detained, and shouted..."
She frowned, "What are you yelling for?"
The third child got angry and kicked him, "Say it quickly! You are whining!"
"Big, yelled, 'You don't have to work to earn food! You will be sent to sacrifice! Those who are not selected will be eaten!' The man shouted three times in a row, and then, he led the people out of the city gate! "
The third child picked up the man on the ground and stared at him, "Then what? Are all the refugees running away?"
"No, the guards brought a few back, but now there are not enough sacrifices. There are more than a dozen people missing."
The third child gritted his teeth and threw the person to the ground.
Madam Lianhua clenched the whip in her hand and swung it violently!
"Snapped--"
The table was torn apart and the teacups were shattered on the floor.
"The cooked duck will fly away! Is it waste?"
The servants were shaking like chaff, for fear of being used to vent their anger.
The pseudo-Taoist priests in the Sixteenth Altar have hideous faces. Who is behind the scenes? Came here specifically for them?
Because it was already late when they entered the city last night, the place Wang Er and others arranged for them was not too far from the city gate.
Jiang Yue and the two took advantage of the time when the city gate was about to open and people were half asleep and half awake to start causing trouble.
Jiang Nian took a big hammer and smashed open the courtyard door, "Bang - bang -"
The noise woke the refugees up, and they shouted inside, "We don't have to work to earn food!" To be sent to sacrifice! Those who are not selected will be eaten'.
After shouting three times, it was obvious that everyone was starting to panic.
"Huh? Sacrifice? Aren't you here to do some work? My father is still waiting for me to take the food back!"
"Didn't you hear? I'm going to be eaten! I wonder how you can do good deeds and not do it to the end, but you still have to choose the good ones! They are using us as two-legged sheep!"
"What are you two talking about! Run away! Are you going to die?"
"Help!"
"Run, run, run!"
The two of them ran outside, followed by others who scattered in all directions. The one after another movement in the alley radiated outside and inside the city.
The people of Zhaoyang City closed their doors and windows numbly and were still guarding the courtyard to prevent anyone from entering the house.
What's more, they even took the initiative to help the officers and soldiers catch the refugees. Just for the little hope of survival in my heart.
As long as you offer sacrifices, it will rain. No one can disturb the way of sacrifice.
Jiang Yue and the two rode their mules and rushed towards the city gate.
It was so early in the morning, but the guard was not energetic. He leaned against the city gate and yawned. Before he could react, someone wiped his neck.
The city gate was so thick that it was difficult for one or two people to close it, so they had to run to find reinforcements.
Jiang Yue looked back at the scattered people in the city. They had done their best to benevolent and righteous. Rumors had spread. Those who wanted to run away would naturally run away. Those who didn't want to run away would just accept their fate.
The two of them left the city and headed in the opposite direction from where they entered the city yesterday.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Jiang Nian turned around and narrowed his eyes slightly. It was great that he found it himself.
Wang Er and his three brothers rode after him. Seeing the selected refugees he was with yesterday, an idea flashed through his mind. A man and a woman, tall and mules, were the two people who robbed the inn!
He looked angry. Yesterday he only saw a woman disguised as a man, but he didn't expect the person he was looking for to sneak in right under his nose!
"drive--"
Jiang Nian jumped off the mule, patted the mule's butt, and continued to lead Jiang Yue forward.
He held the knife in both hands and rushed towards Wang Er.
Wang Er and others tightened their reins and chopped at him on horseback.
Jiang Nian bent his knees and fell back, dodging the official sword. Then he slashed his hands with two knives, and several horses' bellies blossomed and they neighed in pain. The horse's legs gave way, knocking several people off.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, his palms flew and instantly cut off several people's calf arteries.
"Ah——" screams started.
Wang Er was also very quick and quickly rolled to the side. Holding the knife in one hand, he was breathing heavily.
Wang Er gritted his teeth, "Who are you?"
Jiang Nian's expression was indifferent, "We are just ordinary people. We were clearly passing by, but you guys dragged us here, weren't we?"
The first time he was forced into the inn, the second time was an attempt to force him into the city, and the third time he was forced into the city. They went around three times and didn't escape, so why should they hide? It's not like they were really afraid of them.
Wang Er didn't believe that he couldn't be an ordinary refugee with such skills and a sword from the previous dynasty!
"What is your purpose of disrupting the sacrifice?"
Jiang Nian thought of what Yueyue had been saying recently, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do justice for heaven!"
Then he quickly rushed forward and slashed hard with his right hand, while Wang Er blocked with his knife.
Who knows, the official sword is no match for the opponent's saber.
With a "ping" sound, the official knife broke into two halves. Wang Er's forehead was sweating and he turned around to escape.
Jiang Nian put his hands together, pointed the blade upward, found the position of the joint, and picked it hard.
"ah--"
Wang Er's two arms flew out, blood splattering everywhere.
A drop of blood splashed on Jiang Nian's face, and he chuckled with an evil look, "Don't you admire human sacrifice? Then, use your blood to sacrifice. It just fills our vacancy."
Wang Er was breathing rapidly and sweating profusely. The pain caused him to bite off his tongue, and only fear remained in his eyes.
After saying that, Jiang Nian turned around and put the knife back into its sheath.
Jiang Yue drove the mule back, bent down and stretched out her hand to him.
Jiang Nian tightened his grip and used the strength to get on the mule's back, hugged her from behind, pulled the rope, "Drive!"
Jiang Yue turned sideways, wiped off the blood on his face with her fingertips, and kissed the corner of his mouth, "Now, we are really a male and a female..."
Jiang Nian smiled, "That's a nice name."
"Hurry up!"
"Mom, run away!"
The official officers who came from Zhaoyang City gave up the pursuit when they saw that they could not catch up with them.
Seeing several companions wailing on the ground, blood staining the ground red, he frowned, "Tsk, what a pity."
Then they took the person back.
Wang Er and others already showed expressions of despair. They knew what would happen if they went back.
"How did you defend the city?! You actually let the sacrifices escape! They are all trash!"
"Sir, please calm down, I'll admit my mistake!" A row of officers and soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, in order to calm the anger of the adults.
Mrs. Lianhua sat aside, wiped off makeup, put on Taoist uniform, sat upright, with a calm face, and seemed to be keeping secrets.
Her mood has calmed down. At first, she was angry just because she was provoked, but now that the person has escaped, she can only continue to catch him.
Anyway, it's not her who has no food to eat, and it's not her who's anxious to offer sacrifices.
It would be best if the whole city is arrested and the people take the initiative to offer sacrifices.
She thought of the giant lotus altar with joy in her eyes. The more people died, the better.
Let them use their dead souls to pay tribute to this unfair world.
