Chapter 120: Beheading Wang Liu and Opening the City Gate

"I have something to do later, so I swapped with Old Zhou!" Wang Liu was still wondering why this person was so enthusiastic toward him today, when the next moment, the other party provided the answer.

"Yesterday, someone asked us about your whereabouts, saying they lost ten taels of silver to you. Is that true or false?"

Wang Liu was stunned. When had he ever won that much silver? Just as he was about to open his mouth to deny it, he suddenly realized.

It happened to be exactly ten taels of silver, so was the person who said this Jiang Jinshi?

"Oh! There is such a thing, but I lost it back."

"Treat me to a meal next time you win!"

"Hahaha! We'll see." How could Wang Liu agree? These people only thought about taking advantage of him, and they still wanted a meal? They could go eat golden juice!

This person didn't say much more, turned around, and trotted to catch up with his companions who had just finished their shift, leaving together.

Only faint laughter could be heard, and one could still hear words like "I told you so," "lost it back," and "when did he ever win."

Wang Liu spat on the ground and cursed in a low voice, "Wait until I get rich, I'll show you all."

The sky grew darker and darker, until the situation under the city wall could no longer be seen clearly, with only the occasional noise of refugees coming from below.

On the city wall, twenty people were gathered in twos and threes, chatting; they all spent the boring night this way.

Not to mention being loyal to their duties, they didn't even want to stand, all sitting on the ground.

One person lay lazily on the ground, cursing, "These refugees are so noisy, I can't even sleep."

"Even if they weren't noisy, you can't sleep on this hard ground anyway!" Wang Liu took over the conversation, constantly looking for a good opportunity to go downstairs and open the city gate.

Early this morning, someone came to inform him of the time to open the gate, a full hour, during which he could open the gate at any time.

This gave him great room to operate, avoiding being discovered by everyone, and he could even go when everyone was there.

Seeing that the time had come, Wang Liu looked at the people on the city wall and started counting silently in his heart.

Hmm! Excluding himself, the nineteen people were all there, so let's do it now!

Wang Liu stood up and walked down the city wall, with questions coming from behind him.

"Old Wang, where are you going?"

"To the latrine, let's play dice when I get back!" Wang Liu didn't even look back; the more natural he acted at this time, the better.

Everyone didn't suspect anything; after all, the night was long, and going to the latrine was very normal.

As soon as Wang Liu got off the city wall, he flashed into the darkness. At the entrance of the alley not far away, a person was squatting, holding an unlit Kongming lantern, watching all this intently.

Wang Liu, who had quietly touched the city gate, felt his heart beat faster. Looking at the city gate propped up by wood, he rolled up his sleeves and started moving it.

Fortunately, he knew the nature of these people well; they would definitely be lazy when working, otherwise, he wouldn't know how long it would take him to move all this wood by himself.

At this moment, outside the city gate, a group of refugees were not asleep, their eyes focused on the city gate. There was anticipation and awe, but not a single person spoke up to warn the soldiers on the city wall.

Once Yangguangzhai broke into the city, they could also reap some benefits, just like last time.

Luo Feng led fifty people to line up along both sides of the city wall, quietly waiting for the moment the city gate opened.

"Creak!" The slight movement of the city gate sounded particularly harsh in the night.

"Is anyone from the Tang family here?" A deliberately lowered voice came from the crack in the door.

Luo Feng looked up at the night sky, found nothing unusual, and immediately grinned in response.

"Yes!"

The city gate moved bit by bit; obviously, the person inside was very cautious and didn't want to make too much noise.

When the city gate opened enough for one person to pass, Luo Feng walked up without hesitation and had a face-to-face exchange with Wang Liu.

"Brother, this is not enough; our carriages can't get in."

Wang Liu didn't suspect anything, just said to Luo Feng, "Then why are you still standing there? Come and help!"

Luo Feng walked up, pretending to help, and the next moment, he grabbed Wang Liu's neck.

"You've really worked hard!"

Wang Liu widened his eyes, wanting to speak but unable to say anything. That immense force slowly lifted him up, and no matter how he used his hands and feet, he couldn't break free.

In Wang Liu's view, the Tang family was going to renege on their debt and didn't intend to pay him.

So Wang Liu hardened his heart and kicked the city gate with all his might.

"Clang!"

The sound of the city gate startled everyone on the city wall. Everyone looked at each other, and one person said indifferently.

"It must be the noise made by those refugees, it's fine."

But there were always people with different opinions in the crowd, "Go and see! I always feel something is a bit strange."

"By the way, how long has Old Wang been gone?"

The crowd split into two teams during the exchange, one team went down the city wall to patrol, and the other stayed in place.

Luo Feng originally wanted to stop Wang Liu's actions, but it was too late, and he let the other party kick it out.

Luo Feng was so angry that the veins on his arms bulged, and he squeezed even harder, squeezing Wang Liu to death alive.

Casually throwing Wang Liu aside, Luo Feng beckoned to the people who were in ambush. Dozens of people began to line up to enter the city in an orderly manner, without saying a word throughout the process.

After entering the city, Luo Feng took the lead and began to sneak toward the city wall.

They happened to bump into the ten people coming down the stairs. One person in the team shouted, "What are you doing..."

The person behind him immediately cursed, "Still asking, your mother! Enemy! Attack!"

The next moment, Luo Feng moved, drew the long spear from his back, and took the lead toward the city-guarding soldiers.

With this loud shout, the few people on the city wall also reacted and hurriedly drew their big knives in a panic to support.

Luo Feng was naturally fearless in the face of these wine-and-rice bags who didn't train all year round. One spear per person, no need for a second move.

The few people who had just come to support walked to the stairs and saw their brothers lying in a pool of blood. A moment ago, everyone was laughing and talking, and the next moment, they were separated by life and death.

At this moment, they had no intention of revenge at all, only wanting to escape from this place as quickly as possible.

Luo Feng smiled coldly, raised his spear, and rushed forward.

In the end, a few people escaped. He chased for a long distance but didn't catch up; after all, the other party was more familiar with the roads in the city than he was.

Outside the city, the refugees were just about to follow the Yangguangzhai bandits into the city when they were stopped by the sudden appearance of hundreds of people.

"Stop ahead, those who break in by force will be killed without mercy."

Seeing that this group of bandits were all holding big knives, the refugees didn't dare to voice their complaints.

The main thing was that the refugees were not united, and they didn't want to be the first bird to be shot, so they could only stand in place and stare.

The other small squad leaders arrived with torches, handed over the outside of the city to Jiang Ze and others, and then entered the city to help.

Seeing this group of people aggressive, at least hundreds of them, the refugees were even more afraid to speak; after all, bandits were as unreasonable as the knives in their hands.

By the time the other small squad leaders arrived, Luo Feng had already cleared the soldiers on the city wall.

"Captain Zhang, take people to guard the city gate, everyone else follow me." Luo Feng's next target was the team leader. As long as the other party was eliminated and the city gate was closed, the entire Jiangcheng would be easily brought under his command.

Before Luo Feng could kill his way there, the few people who had escaped earlier had already brought the main force back, and the leader was the team leader.

"Thieves have guts, actually raiding Jiangcheng at night, die for me!" ===== CHAPTER 121 =====
