My years as a soldier

Sure enough, they are soldiers of the government!

Hu Jiuzhang swallowed hard, and at the moment before being exposed to the light, he lowered his body reflexively, and jumped into the carriage of Cao Yi parked in the courtyard against the shadow of the courtyard.

The moment he landed, his calves hurt so much that he almost didn't scream out, but fortunately, he had successfully entered the car, and after groping inside, he found the two familiar knives, and the The marching rattan box brought by Beijiang.

He thought he would never get these things again, but now that he lost them and found them again, Hu Jiuzhang couldn't stop his heart from throbbing.

As far as soldiers are concerned, the most valuable thing on their body is probably the military weapons they are issued with them.Tang Jun’s bow and crossbow can be sold for 20 taels of silver on the black market. No matter how old the horizontal knife is, as long as it is still usable, it can be exchanged for 30 taels of silver. This is what ordinary people spend on food and clothing for a year!

Following the slits between the curtains of the carriage, Hu Jiuzhang happened to be able to have a panoramic view of the situation inside and outside the courtyard.Every place outside the courtyard that could surpass people was surrounded by troops mixed with armored soldiers and bad people.

Look at each loophole, the armored soldiers stand in front of the shield, and on the left and right sides there is a bad guy standing with a knife.Seeing this posture, the string in Hu Jiuzhang's heart that hadn't been stretched for a long time seemed to be provoked by someone suddenly. He felt itchy in his heart, and he had quietly hung two knives, one long and one short, around his waist. , actually inexplicably gave birth to a sense of belonging.

"Cao Yi, the thief, hurry up and catch him!"

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help but be attracted by the thick and full of shouts outside the main gate of the small courtyard.

It was Chang'an county captain He Tiantong who spoke.I saw the middle-aged man wearing a military officer's official uniform riding on a horse, with a mustache that grew as long as a palm, against the backdrop of the torch, he showed a bit of masculinity.

But Hu Jiuzhang only glanced at him, and then he was attracted by the tall man beside him.

Brother Chen!

Hu Jiuzhang was taken aback.

He didn't expect that he had just confessed his love to Chen Fan's house for only one day, and then met Chen Fan again at night.At this time, Chen Fan was dressed in black and was riding on the horse. He seemed to be talking to the bad guy who came to report to him, with a serious look on his face.

Hu Jiuzhang half-kneeled in the carriage. It has to be said that with Chen Fan present, he felt a lot more at ease.And looking at the courtyard, since he rushed out of the small temple, there has been no sound.Although Hu Jiuzhang was sure that Cao Yi would not hurt Li Muyun's life before fleeing, he couldn't guarantee that Li Muyun was absolutely safe at this time.

"Cao Yi! Your accomplices have been captured by the bad guys who were ambushing in the rear earlier. If you are sensible, bring your son out as soon as possible. If your accomplice is injured in any way, your accomplice will be your fate in the future!"

He Tiantong and Chen Fan whispered these words to Xiaomiao.And Hu Jiuzhang had already seen that the skinny Ding Xiaozhan was dragged all the way to the center of the courtyard gate by the arms of two bad guys.

"Brother Cao, leave me alone! Let's go!"

Ding Xiaozhan hissed at Xiaomiao and tried his best.As soon as Ding Xiaozhan made a sound, footsteps followed in the temple.Cao Yi held a knife in his hand, and grabbed Li Muyun's shoulder blades close to his neck with the other, dragging him out of the house.Li Muyun's face was bluish, and he didn't know whether it was caused by Cao Yile or because he was unwell.

"Cao Yi! Hurry up and let the prince go!"

Seeing Li Muyun's appearance, He Tiantong was obviously much more anxious than before.The horse under him also sensed the rider's anxiety, and kept pacing on the spot.

"Officer Dog, let my brother go first!"

Cao Yi spoke in a trembling voice, and while speaking, the horizontal knife in his right hand was already on Li Muyun's neck.

"you--"

He Tiantong was shocked, but his first reaction was to turn his head to look at Chen Fan.Seeing Chen Fan's cold face and calm expression, He Tiantong coughed a few times, then put on a majestic posture again.

"Cao Yi, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

"Why, do you want to use the life of this son to exchange the lives of two kidnappers? All right! I didn't expect that I, Cao Yi, would be buried with the son of a vassal king." Cao Yi squinted his eyes and sneered. Now that the murderous aura is surging, that evil aura alone is enough to deter any opponent who confronts him.

"You—you!"

He Tiantong was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead were throbbing, "Cao Yi! Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you are happy to return the son, I can still deal with it lightly. Chang'an County has always handled cases according to the law. But if you would rather be stubborn and obsessed with obsession, and hurt your son's body, this matter will not be as simple as going to jail!"

He Tiantong felt that he had said this very thoroughly.After all, no matter how the case is decided, the law of the Tang Dynasty must be followed. Although the kidnappers are very vicious and kidnapped the son of the vassal prince, as long as no human life is involved, the case-solving officials usually will not kill people.But once the force is used, things will be different.The knife was cut on the head of the royal family. Even if he, the county lieutenant, wanted to make a profit from it, he would not have the part to do it.

According to He Tiantong's thinking, if Cao Yi was a sensible person, he would release his son intact at this time, and then warm up with his county captain in private, and go to Chang'an County to sit in prison for a few years, this matter would be overturned Yes, he can still benefit from Su Wang's mansion when he turns back.But seeing Cao Yi's appearance, he didn't seem to have the slightest intention to compromise with the government, and He Tiantong's calculations were gradually changing.

"Stop talking nonsense with me! If you tell you to release people, release them. There are as many untouchables like us as you want. You only have one son!"

After Cao Yi finished speaking, the blade of the horizontal knife in his hand was about to cut through Li Muyun's flesh. Li Muyun tried his best to hold his breath between Cao Yi's iron arms with a painful expression. Cut blood.At this time, not only Hu Jiuzhang in the car, but He Tiantong, Chen Fan and others also changed their expressions suddenly.

He Tiantong has already realized that the one-eyed gangster in front of him doesn't like him at all.If you want to solve this matter without bloodshed, I'm afraid you can't do it no matter what!

Thinking of this, He Tiantong clenched his fists and immediately spoke in a loud voice.

"Okay! Cao Yi, if you hurt your son, none of the people present will die! Is there someone else in the carriage? Come out for me! I want to see how the two desperate people can turn the world upside down." Where are you going!"

As soon as He Tiantong said this, Hu Jiuzhang in the car was startled.The county lieutenant has already included him in the kidnappers' camp, and Hu Jiuzhang is really not sure whether Cao Yi will cooperate with the release as agreed.

After all, if Cao Yi could trust Li Muyun, all he had to do was ask Li Muyun to speak up and intercede for him and Ding Xiaozhan, and the matter would be eased.But looking at Cao Yi's current posture, not only did he not give Li Muyun a chance to speak, he also did not listen to the county lieutenant's persuasion at all, and only wanted to replace Ding Xiaozhan by himself.

Even Hu Jiuzhang knew that this was really the worst of the worst strategies, but Cao Yi's decision to make such a decision could only show that he didn't trust Li Muyun at all, nor did he trust County Captain He.What he believed in was only a steel knife in his hand.

In the car, Hu Jiuzhang didn't move, he was half kneeling on the ground, only the sound of his increasingly violent heartbeat remained in the darkness.

Blood was rushing in his body, and the sweat from Hu Jiuzhang's forehead rolled all the way to his chin, and then dripped to the corner of the carriage, disappearing silently.

Whether he comes out or not, it doesn't matter to Li Muyun.

The two sides confronting each other now are He Xianwei and Cao Yi.Hu Jiuzhang tightened his grip on the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist. He asked himself, if he got out of the car at this moment, would he be able to parry Cao Yi's blade with his own strength and rescue Li Muyun?If he gets off the car, Cao Yi will buy his face, let Li Muyun speak up?

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't give an affirmative answer, and he never moved.Outside the car, He Tiantong's nerves were also being tortured.

Hu Jiuzhang was in the car and could only see Li Muyun and Cao Yi from one side.And He Tiantong was in the middle of the courtyard gate, and Li Muyun was facing him.He looked at the pale son of King Su who couldn't stop trembling in Cao Yi's arms, but with the steel knife, Li Muyun didn't even have the room to tremble, and it seemed that only the painful breathing sound of the son being pressed against his throat was left in the courtyard , It seems that in the next second, that knife can behead Shizi's head.

He Tiantong was terrified when he saw it, he didn't dare to slack off, so he raised his hand and gestured to the bad guys who escorted Ding Xiaozhan.It was a secret code of command from the government, and outsiders could not understand it.But seeing He Tiantong's gesture, the faces of the two bad guys turned serious, and Chen Fan's expression became more dignified when he was on the horse.

However, the two bad guys escorted Ding Xiaozhan and walked a few steps into the courtyard. The distance between the three of them and Cao Yi and Li Muyun was only three to five meters.

A look of comfort flashed in Cao Yi's eyes, and Ding Xiaozhan seemed to have finally seen hope, so he couldn't help but push Cao Yi hard.

"Brother Cao!"

The moment Ding Xiaozhan opened his mouth, a villain drew out a horizontal knife from his waist and slashed at Ding Xiaozhan's chest.In an instant, the blood splattered everywhere, and Ding Xiaozhan died before he even had time to cry out in pain.

At such a close distance, the horizontal knife almost split Ding Xiaozhan's emaciated body in half.The blood spattered the entire body of the bad guy wielding the knife. Not only Cao Yi was present, but Li Muyun, who was kidnapped, was dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events.

As soon as Ding Xiaozhan died, the two villains had already held their knives and put on a confrontational posture. It took Cao Yi a second or two to react, and his hands holding Li Muyun's body trembled.

"Xiao Zhan..."

Cao Yi's steps seemed to be vain, and his eyes were filled with bewilderment and grief.

"Hehe...Cao Yi, I have already said, don't toast and eat fine wine. Hasn't this been returned to you? If you resist again, don't think you can still survive!"

He Tiantong became more and more arrogant.He was sure that Cao Yi would not dare to exchange the life of King Su's son for that skinny monkey, so he simply struck first and cut off all obstacles.

This is just the usual method used by the government when confronting gangsters. He Tiantong's response to a gangster who doesn't want to get in is simply a model.

He Tiantong is a sophisticated county magistrate. He felt that as long as he showed such a tough and decisive attitude, he would surely scare Cao Yi.Even if he can't be arrested immediately, it will definitely make Cao Yi rethink his countermeasures in order to save his life.

But even though He Tiantong is a well-behaved official, Cao Yi is not a well-behaved bandit.

But Cao Yi led Li Muyun back a few steps until he reached the pillar at the entrance of the small temple.The steel knife in his hand moved away from Li Muyun's neck, and the hand that was strangling Li Muyun's body also loosened.

And the moment he let go, Li Muyun subconsciously staggered a few steps forward, Cao Yi stood there with a cold face, raised his palm and slashed at the back of Li Muyun's neck.

Only a muffled sound was heard in the courtyard.

Cao Yi's movements were so fast that the bad guy standing in the front didn't even have time to react.They watched Li Muyun fall to the ground like a kite with a broken string, but after a while, there was no sound.
