Chapter 123: Price
Because of the fear of falling rocks, the village was built very far away from it. However, after the other party pointed it out, everyone found that the small section of the mountain road was illuminated by two torches. There were four bandits standing there, holding two children.
The children were very small, about four or five years old.
The bandits on the east side of the boundary line asked Zhu Xiuer: "Are those two your children?"
Zhu Xiuer had already widened her eyes, staring at the two children, but shook her head vigorously: "No! No!"
"No?" The bandit laughed. "Then it has even less to do with you."
He Yue also saw something was wrong and said anxiously: "Wait, you can't..."
Before he finished speaking, the bandit raised his hand and made a gesture.
Then there were two childish screams on the mountain road, and his accomplice picked up the children and threw them out directly! That was a fifteen-foot-deep cliff!
Zhu Xiuer screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
Zeng Feixiong grabbed her, handed her to his subordinates to hold her steady.
He Chunhua said angrily: "Unreasonable! Children are innocent, what kind of hatred do you have to hurt heaven and reason!"
"Children are innocent?" The one who answered was Lu Yao, who walked out from behind the house and looked at him with a sneer. "It seems He lord also knows that this woman is not innocent. He lord, I ask you, we clearly agreed to divide east and west, what do you mean by secretly taking my people?"
He Chunhua's heart sank. Lu Yao had indeed discovered that Wang Pangzi was missing, and then vented his anger on Zhu Xiuer. This bandit leader was too cruel; after discovering that he had been played, he wanted to kill to vent his anger without saying a word! "That fat man wanted to harm Zhu Xiuer, so we stopped him, and this happened before the boundary was drawn." He Chunhua raised his head slightly. "You killed her children, don't you want your subordinate's life?"
"Why don't I want it?" Lu Yao hummed. "Give him back, otherwise I will kill you until you are defeated!"
"Eh?" He Chunhua suddenly put his hand on his forehead and pointed behind him. "What is that?"
"He lord, don't look around." Lu Yao smiled, this is a trick played by a few-year-old kid? Where did he know that as soon as the words fell, a scream of "Ah—" came from not far away, full of pain.
At the same time, the sound of breaking through the air sounded behind him.
He didn't turn around immediately, but squatted down and turned around, and his right hand changed out a giant axe from somewhere, blocking in front of him.
The area of this weapon was almost as large as a small shield, although it was far less exaggerated than the Meng Shan giant axe He Lingchuan saw in his dream, but when Lu Yao curled up, the axe head could at least block his upper body's vital points and knees.
"Clang, clang" two sounds, the arrows hit the axe surface and missed.
Another arrow swept past from above silently.
If Lu Yao had turned around directly, this arrow would have been fed into his throat.
This kind of "pin" shaped arrow method was a bit familiar... Lu Yao's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he roared: "Stop, we are our own people, don't fight our own people!"
Where did he know that at this time, He Chunhua also shouted: "Rebel! General Lu, quickly take down the rebel!"
More than a dozen government archers appeared on the roof of the village west houses near the boundary line. They lay on the roof, also shot arrows, and returned the sneak attackers with color.
He Chunhua shouted while holding his head and fleeing back, but his body was covered with pale green light.
That was the light ring activated by the Altar Order.
In an instant, all the government troops emitted such light.
The attackers saw this and had no more doubts.
Except for officials appointed by the royal court, who else could use Yuan power?
He Chunhua retreated, Zeng Feixiong and others immediately stepped forward to cover, using Gang Qi to block several stray arrows.
Everyone slipped away quickly, not giving Lu Yao's subordinates a chance to react, and had already retreated behind the house.
Only then did a team rush out from the darkness and pour into County Magistrate Village like a tide! Tonight there were no stars or moon, and there was no light in the wilderness. This team didn't even light a torch.
Plus the commotion in the village attracted everyone's attention, Lu Yao's sentries didn't even discover that this team had already arrived at the village!
Seeing the person at the front, Lu Yao was fierce: "Wu Shaoyi, are you crazy, how dare you shoot me!" He pointed to the west of the village. "Your target is there!"
"I shot you!" Wu Shaoyi laughed. "Brothers, go up, kill this treacherous villain!"
Saying these four words, he gritted his teeth. With Hong Xiangqian pressing down in the past, he couldn't clean up Lu Yao, but the grievances between the two sides accumulated more and more, and in the end, they were not just hating each other. Seeing him again, the hatred and anger rushed to his forehead, and he couldn't stop it! He was good at using long spears, because he came to attack on foot, he gave up the long pole on the horse and changed to a short spear. At this time, there was no second word, aiming at Lu Yao's eyes and stabbing, the speed was so fast that it pulled up a residual shadow.
Lu Yao naturally used the axe shield to block, but after blocking the third time, he had already raised it to his face, the opponent's gun tip clicked lightly on the edge of the giant axe, bounced, the gun body bent into an arc, actually bypassed the axe, and stabbed straight at his eyes like a poisonous snake! This is Wu Shaoyi's unique skill, calling himself Flood Dragon exploring the sea, I don't know how many government troops he harvested with it. Fortunately, Lu Yao was in the same camp as him, and knew this, so he tilted his head and avoided the fate of being blinded.
However, the Gang Qi released by the gun head was like a needle, although it didn't touch the skin, it still drew a long wound under his eyes, deep to the bone.
Lu Yao screamed "Ah," and the shield was drawn backhand.
Wu Shaoyi didn't dare to take it hard and retreated two steps.
Lu Yao was ignited with fire, and didn't wipe the blood on his face, rushed over and chopped vertically and swept horizontally for three axes, while scolding: "I kindly called you to meet, I kindly called you to fight government troops, you only know how to fight in the nest, was your brain eaten by a dog?"
"You buried seven hundred people at Suozi Rock, is that also kindness?" Wu Shaoyi didn't want to talk to him, just ordered his subordinates, "Kill, kill all of Lu thief's subordinates!"
Seven hundred people? Lu Yao heard these words, shivered, and suddenly understood.
Bad, fell into the dog official's trap! "This is a counter-espionage plan! I used those seven hundred people to ambush the dog official!" He shouted hoarsely, "Little ones, take down the dog official!"
He looked behind Wu Shaoyi, vast and mighty, more than two hundred people, three against one was more than enough, and he was also furious: "Didn't you also bring all your people!"
"You buried seven hundred people first, so don't blame me for bringing everyone!"
Enemies meet, eyes are red, the battle between these two great generals entered a white-hot stage from the beginning. Just a few words, Lu Yao's face was injured, his cheek was stabbed with a hole, and his right leg also had two blood holes, which was deliberately done by the opponent to slow down his mobility; but his counterattack was very fierce, and Wu Shaoyi didn't get any good, a left arm axe wound, almost cut to the tendon, and his chest was hit by a heavy shield, at least one rib was broken.
