Empress Chu

"Boss." The voices of the brothers behind him trembled, "This, this, let's fight in, are we looking for death?"

What's going on with this new boss?Even robbing must be weighed and considered, sometimes no matter how fat the sheep are, not every one can be robbed.

The movement in front of me is not a fat sheep, it is a monster.

Ding Dachui couldn't help shivering when the sharp birdsong rang in his ears.

The birds chirped one after another, urging.

Ding Dachui also heard what the new boss called everyone to say just now.

"There are portraits of you bandits hanging at the gate of the Chenxian county government."

"You have survived so far, not because the government can't do anything to you, but because they are too lazy to take care of you."

"Once the government needs merit, it will immediately deal with you."

"You people, do you really think you can hunt in the mountains for the rest of your life?"

"You are not hunters, you are the prey."

"I made this big business with me today, and in the future, you will have people, money, and things. At that time, you will be the real hunters."

What hunters have said, they are bandits!

Ding Dachui's feet trembled, he raised his foot and stomped it to the ground, raised his hunting bow, put three arrows on it, and shouted loudly.

"This mountain was opened by me—"

……

……

No matter it was spear throwing, rolling stones, and the blocking of their own corpses, there were still more than a dozen people breaking through the defense.

These dozen or so people were as light as swallows and agile as apes, and they got closer and closer, so close that Chu Zhao could see their ferocious smiles.

Lao Bai was one step faster than them, and flew out with a long knife in his hand. The light of the knife danced wildly, and the first five bandits who rushed over rolled to the ground, their bodies separated.

Followed by Lao Bai, more people rushed out, including Long Wei's army and those left by Xiao Man, fighting with weapons and their own bodies, this was also the last line of defense.

Ale held the knife in his hand to stop Chu Zhao: "Now is not the time."

Chu Zhaoben was also rushing over.

"Miss, if you die in the past, everyone will die faster." Ale said seriously, "The longer you live, the longer everyone can live."

All the fighting was to defend Chu Zhao. If she died, everyone would vent their anger.

Of course Chu Zhao knew it too, but watching people die for her one by one, life is really worse than death——

A bandit rushed from behind and cut off the hands of a Longwei soldier. The soldier wailed in pain, but he didn't fall down. Instead, he hugged the bandit tightly with his handsless arms. Bumping into another bandit holding a knife, the long knife pierced them both—

Chu Zhao wanted to close his eyes, but he stared at him tightly, wanting to see clearly for himself, how these people died for her.

It can't be like that life, where so many people died for her, she didn't even know it.

"Miss." Ah Le shouted, standing in front of her holding a knife, "They are all dead, and I am the only one."

Just as Chu Zhao was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the distance suddenly rising, mixed with "enemy attack!" "Go back quickly!" "There is an enemy attack!"

Enemy attack, this is what the bandits shouted, and the enemies of the bandits are naturally their reinforcements!

There are reinforcements!

"Xiaoman called for reinforcements!" Chu Zhao shouted, "Xiaoman called for reinforcements!"

There is hope!

She shouted "Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming", sending hope out.

Chapter 39 Morning Light

The sound of fighting shook the world.

In all directions, the entire mountain forest seemed to be in a melee. There were people everywhere and killing sounds everywhere. Arrows were flying like rain here, rocks were falling like thunder there, and even wild boars were running wild among them.

A galloping wild boar has rough skin and thick flesh, and even if it is full of arrows, it can rush over and knock seven or eight people over.

The mountains and forests in the darkness are like the waves of the sea.

Tie Yinglema who hadn't approached yet, of course he wasn't afraid of such a scene, but he was shocked.

"What's the matter?" he said, "Where are the reinforcements?"

The person in front was also shocked: "We have been guarding the intersection and have not seen any officers and soldiers."

real or fake?bluff?Tie Ying urged the horse to turn on the spot, holding the long knife in his waist, with a serious expression: "I don't believe how many reinforcements they have, even if they do, I can take her alone—"

He was about to urge his horse forward, but there was another call behind him.

"The garrison in Chen County has assembled, and it seems that they are going to come here."

The nearest garrison here is in Chen County. Tie Ying was surprised that Chen County was some distance away.

"How could the news leak out so quickly?" He asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that no one was let go?"

"It is absolutely true that no one has escaped from here." The man reiterated again, "And even if someone escaped to report, such a short time is not enough to go back and forth."

That is to say, the soldiers stationed nearby are also paying attention to Chu Zhao's movements?

If the garrison also arrives——

He was not afraid of these officers and soldiers, but he was afraid of leaking his son.

Now the imperial court and King Zhongshan haven't broken their faces, just waiting for an opportunity, or a handle——

After all, there was no proof that the eldest son instigated Chu Lan to kill the emperor's eldest grandson, and Chu Zhao could not push her uncle out to die.

If Xiao Xun was caught besieging and killing Chu Zhao at this time, the court would immediately declare to the world King Zhongshan's treason and send troops to crusade.

Maybe this is also a trap deliberately set by Chu Zhaohe and the court to lure King Zhongshan with his body—isn't this the same method that fell into the water in Chu Garden last time?

The horse's hoof pawed on the ground and turned.

"Go!" Tie Ying said.

The people around responded and waved the torches in their hands. After a while, the people and horses disappeared like black clouds following Tie Ying.

……

……

When the misty blue light shrouded the mountain forest, the sound of fighting had disappeared, only the mountain fire was still burning.

Chu Zhao and A Le traveled among the wounded and tried their best to save one more life. Their bodies and faces were covered with blood.

Xiaoman almost didn't recognize her when she ran over.

Chu Zhao had already seen her, and rushed towards her with open arms: "Xiaoman, it's great that you're fine."

Xiaoman was caught off guard and was hugged. Although they had been together day and night for some time, they didn't talk much, and they were not familiar with each other!

"You, you—" Xiaoman stretched out her hand to push her, seeing the smile on the girl's blood-stained face, her words turned into a mutter, "What can I do!"

He snorted again and turned his head away.

"What is this, it's a trivial matter."

Chu Zhao shook her and nodded again and again: "Yes, Xiaoman is too powerful." He said and wept.

He was frightened, and it was indeed very dangerous. Chu Zhao had never been frightened like this before. Although the night of the turmoil in the capital was also very dangerous, it was nothing compared to this time.

He must have been terrified, scared to hold her and cry—she could only hold her and cry, in fact...

Xiaoman couldn't help but look back.

Chu Zhao noticed it and asked, "What are you looking for?"

She followed Xiaoman's line of sight and saw that there were many people walking around in the forest with torches burning, some she knew and some she didn't.

But Chu Zhao's eyes fell on one of the figures inexplicably.

Not too far away, the man was standing next to a big tree, and the flickering light of the fire made it seem like reality and illusion.

Although, but, this seems to be a woman?

Besides Xiaoman, Ale and her, there are other women here?

"That's—" Chu Zhao couldn't help asking.

Who?

But the moment she opened her mouth, the flames flickered, and the figure disappeared, as if turning around to get busy, and disappeared among the crowd walking around in the forest in the blink of an eye.

"What?" Xiaoman asked from the side, his voice seemed impatient.

Chu Zhao looked away, looked at her and asked, "Where did you find these people?"

Xiaoman groaned: "This is what I met in the mountains—Orion."

……

……

The early morning sun was scattered, and the light and shadows were shining. The birds, who did not know the tragedy of the world, regained their silence, jumping and chirping in the forest, not caring at all about the blood on the ground.

Ding Dachui brought Yu Zhong together with Yu Zhong from the other two cottages. They had red eyes when they first met, and now their eyes are red too, but they didn't look at each other, but they were boiled.

They didn't attack each other, but huddled together for the rest of their lives, supporting each other, and looked at a group of people not far away.

There were about a dozen people.

These dozen people looked very strange.

There are girls, there are people who obviously have the aura of officers and soldiers, and people who can't hide their recklessness. No matter how you look at it, these people should not be together.

This group of people is the big business that the new boss said?

Ding Dachui looked down at the blood-stained ground under his feet. The looting last night was so intense that almost half of their three cottages were killed or injured—and they finally caught the fat sheep.

But that girl who obviously threw herself into the arms of the new boss and cried, why is she standing with these fat sheep again, talking nonsense.

"I ran out in a hurry to find the government, and then I met them—they were hunters in the mountains. When these kind people heard that we encountered bandits, they were filled with righteous indignation and drew their swords to help when they saw injustice—"

She finished speaking all the words she knew, and then saluted Ding Dachui and others.

"Thank you folks for saving us."

The place was quiet.

The folks who were thanked did not say no thanks again and again, which is what we should do.

Chu Zhao Laobai looked at the weapons in the hands of the villagers—knives, guns, swords, and halberds. They had everything. The hunters in the mountains were quite equipped with hunting equipment.

Deep in the mountains, at night, so many hunters—how could it be possible.

Chu Zhao and Lao Bai knew their identities without guessing.

Bandit.

It's a real bandit.

It's really interesting, the fake bandit wanted to kill her, but the real bandit saved her.

Although I don't know how Xiaoman persuaded these bandits to come and save her, but it's definitely not some way to help her when she sees injustice.

But since Xiaoman didn't want to say anything, there was no need to ask.

After a moment's hesitation, Chu Zhao saluted solemnly: "Thank you folks for saving us, you will be repaid for your kindness, and I will reward you all with a lot of money."

Hearing the word "heavy gold", Ding Dahui and the others focused their eyes.

"My family is rich, and my parents love me like a treasure. You not only saved me, but also my family." Chu Zhao continued to say loudly, "Aside from money and property, my parents will definitely agree to whatever you need. , it is also difficult to repay the great kindness you have given me and my party."

She said another salute.

This is the truth.

If it weren't for these bandits, her life in this life would have ended here.

So she won't ask them why they came and what they are planning, she just needs to thank them.

Lao Bai and the others also followed suit and shouted in unison: "Great kindness, great virtue, I will never forget it."

Although there were not many people, shouting in unison was scary.
