After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The South Street, which used to be bustling with people, was now filled with Maozhou rebels wearing gray-brown military uniforms. They would rush forward and hack and kill anyone they saw. The unarmed civilians were like pumpkins in their hands.

Those who reacted slowly were killed by the sudden blow of the knife, while those who reacted quickly tried to run forward, but they were caught up by the ferocious-looking rebels after only a few steps and were stabbed from behind.

Suddenly, several rebels saw a fair-skinned woman holding a child huddled next to the breakfast shop. She was covering the child's mouth tightly and shaking like a sieve.

The rebels looked at each other, grinned with interest, and surrounded them, rubbing their hands.

The woman hugged her child tightly and cried, "You can do whatever you want, but don't hurt my child, please."

Just as she finished speaking, the three-year-old child in her arms was picked up by the handle of a knife by a rebel who was laughing.

The woman screamed and threw herself forward, screaming, "My child! Give me back my child!"

She was answered by the sound of tearing cloth. Her shirt was torn off by the grinning rebels, revealing a trace of snow-white skin. Several rebels were attracted by the color and surrounded her...

The child's crying became more and more shrill.

A middle-aged man with blood all over his face and half a steamed bread in his hand, lying motionless like a corpse, suddenly stood up and said, "I can't stand it anymore. I'll die! You beasts, I'll fight you!"

The middle-aged man picked up the stool next to him and smashed it at the rebel who was carrying the child. The rebel was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

He took the opportunity to pick up the child and ran away. Several rebels behind him tied belts and chased him with knives in their hands.

In just a few breaths, the middle-aged man was stabbed in the shoulder by the rebels and fell to the ground.

"Run, you bastard, why don't you run?"

The rebel who was hit stepped hard on the man's abdomen and said with a fierce smile: "I will chop off your heads and use them as wine jugs. One big and one small is just right."

The middle-aged man endured the pain and hugged the child tightly in his arms. He caught a glimpse of the woman pinned down by the rebels and felt extremely sad and angry.

"go to hell."

The rebel raised his knife high, and the man thought of his parents, wife and children at home, and closed his eyes in despair.

"Well--!"

A few screams were heard, and the force on the abdomen disappeared.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and the rebel with a hideous face fell beside him.

There was a thundering sound of horse hooves galloping past him, and wherever he passed, the rebels were slaughtered and beheaded like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Only a dark figure with a bow drawn could be vaguely seen, and then the middle-aged man burst into tears: "It's the Patrol Battalion, it's Lord Li from the Patrol Battalion! We are saved, we are saved."

The woman with torn clothes quickly crawled over, hugged the child, and kowtowed and cried towards the direction where the man in black disappeared.

Ma Ben's eyes were bloodshot as he watched his brothers falling one by one around him. He gritted his teeth and pulled the steel knife out of a rebel's body.

At the same time, his shoulder was pierced by a rebel.

"We can't hold it, Admiral Ma, let's go!"

A soldier came over and killed the rebel who injured Ma Ben, and shouted anxiously: "Commander Ma! Lord Cai said... Uh!"

The soldier fell to the ground before he could finish his words.

The hot blood splashed on Ma Ben's face, stunning him for a moment. Only when the enemy swung his knife at him did he come to his senses.

He tried his best to endure the pain in his body and blocked the opponent's steel knife. He was stabbed again from behind, and the cold blade made his muscles tremble.

Ma Ben felt like he was soaked in ice water and his whole body was cold. He knew it was because he had lost too much blood.

He tried his best to kill the rebels in front of him, and Ma Ben fell to the ground exhausted.

Wave after wave of rebels, like a swarm of bees, poured into the city.

A tear overflowed from Ma Ben's eyes.

Chongzhou is his roots. His parents, relatives, and fellow villagers are all here. Is this the final fate of the people of Chongzhou?

He has tried his best. If Cai Zhang gave him troops, he would definitely be able to hold on. Cai Zhang...

Ma Ben smiled bitterly in his heart. Yes, having followed Cai Zhang for so long, how could he not know?

Incompetent and cowardly.

Only he and Qian Sanwen would believe what Liu Ping and Han Guang said.

His body was getting colder and colder, and Ma Ben thought to himself that he might be dying. It would be better if he died, because if he died he would not be able to see the tragic situation in Chongzhou.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a handsome soldier who dismounted and ran to his side, shouting, "Sir, it's Lieutenant General Ma. He's seriously injured and seems to be dying!"

There were a few sounds of horse hooves, and a man in black rode over on a horse. He jumped off the horse swiftly, pinched his chin, and stuffed a black pill into his mouth.

The man muttered in a mocking tone, "Tsk, you are really lucky, you can run into me again and again.

Then he turned around and ordered, "Zhang Wang, carry him back to the barracks and ask the military doctor to check him."

Ma Ben's heart was shocked, and he did not come to his senses until he was lifted onto the shoulders. The familiar taste of medicine remained in his mouth, and the bleeding from the wounds on his body slowly stopped.

He tried hard to turn his head to look at the man in black, but was interrupted by Zhang Wang's voice.

"Commander Ma, you are so badly injured, you'd better not move. Lord Li will clean up the rebels, don't worry."

……

Lin Yanyu has been feeling uneasy since Li Yanqi left. After sitting and lying restlessly for half an hour, she simply picked up a book and sat on the recliner in the yard.

As soon as they sat down, Mrs. Wang rushed into the yard in a hurry.

"Oh my God!"

Lin Yanyu was startled, looked up and realized that she was not describing the right thing, put down the book and asked: "Wang Po, what's wrong?"

"Ma'am! I almost lost the chance to see you!"

Mrs. Wang turned pale and patted her chest, feeling a little frightened.

"I just went to the market to buy an old hen for my wife to make soup. I was bargaining with the chicken vendor when a group of strong men in gray rushed into the market and killed anyone they saw. If it was a young girl, they would drag her away and tear her apart."

"The old woman was far away, and she ran away without even taking the chicken. If she had run slower, she wouldn't have come back!"

"What? How can you take care of yourself!" Lin Yanyu slammed the book on the small table, her face flushed with anger.

She frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up from the recliner.

"Po Wang, have you seen how many rebels there are in Caoshi?"

"About dozens."

Mrs. Wang, carrying a basket, looked at her with a puzzled expression. Suddenly she understood and immediately regretted her words.

"What's wrong, ma'am? You don't want to go over there, do you? You can't do that, ma'am! Those people are inhumane. What if they hurt you?"

"Po Wang, those people in Caoshi are all citizens of Chongzhou. They are also other people's parents, children, husbands, and wives. It would be fine if I didn't know about it, but now that I know about it, I can't just sit there and do nothing."

Moreover, there was one thing that she had to do in person.

"Besides, I know my limits and will not go beyond my ability, so don't worry. Go inside now and help me get the bundle from the bottom of the wooden cabinet."

As she said, Mrs. Wang took the bag and slung it over her arm, saying with a firm face, "Since Madam is going, I will go with you to protect you."

Lin Yanyu smiled at her and said nothing.

As I walked out of the gate with Wang Po, I saw Ma Xigui leaning against the opposite wall as expected, holding something in his hand and wiping the arrow in his hand.

He held a blade of grass in his mouth. The moment he looked up, he spat it out and greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law."
