The Golden County Magistrate

Zheng Yan thought Xiong Jin wanted to capture Tang Shuo to gain merit, but she didn't expect that the guy would immediately roll off his horse and bring people to pay homage to Tang Shuo as soon as he showed up. He also kept saying that he was late to rescue him, and he looked like he was loyal to Tang Shuo.

Even Tang Shuo was shocked. It took him a long time to react. After repeated confirmation several times, he finally realized that the other party was not here to capture him.

Zheng Yan was also shocked, but she didn't want to show up because it was none of her business. But she never thought that someone among the other party's people actually discovered her.

Zheng Yan knew that something was wrong and knew that the other party would definitely kill her to silence her, so she naturally resisted with all her strength. She was a martial arts expert and didn't suffer any injuries, but instead injured several people on the other side.

But the person who discovered her was also very skilled. Zheng Yan couldn't break through the siege, so she pretended that her saber was knocked off, and then rushed to another place with all her strength. She ran more than ten miles away before she was caught.

Because she ran far away, the other party didn't turn back to look for her saber.

"As expected of the chief constable appointed by me, smart!" Chen Yan praised him after hearing this.

If she hadn't left the knife there, it would have been difficult for him to find clues to find her.

Zheng Yan raised her head with some pride: "Of course!"

When she was fighting with the group, Tang Shuo had been taken away by Xiong Jin's men. Later, she was captured by mistake. The powerful guy wanted to kill her to silence her, but Xiong Jin had a lustful heart and just arrested her and put her in jail.

"He said that if I wanted to live, I would be his seventh concubine." Zheng Yan spat in hatred, "That dead fat pig, don't you even look in the mirror!"

Chen Yan shook his head after hearing this.

Colluding with Tang Shuo, this is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan!

And Xiong Jin was so greedy for beauty that he took the risk of leaking the secret and spared Zheng Yan's life. Obviously, he was not a material for doing big things.

But fortunately, that guy was lustful, otherwise his precious chief constable would be really finished.

"However, I am a little curious about the person who caught you. Who is he?" Chen Yan asked with interest.

"I heard from them that the man's surname is Wu, and he is a soldier in the Nafu Camp of Lianggu County. But they had more people at that time. If I fight alone, I will not lose to him!" Zheng Yan muttered.

"Sir, something is wrong." Zhang Dabiao, who was driving, suddenly said.

Chen Yan lifted the curtain and saw that the whole street was as quiet as death. There were many people walking on the street before, but now there was no one left, only their group of people.

He sneered slightly and said, "It seems that Lianggu County will be lively today!"

At Zhang Dabiao's order, the ten Nafu Camp soldiers around him dispersed and protected the carriage in the middle.

When they were about to reach the city gate, Zhang Dabiao suddenly pulled the reins and stopped.

All the soldiers also stopped, pressed the hilt of the knife on their waist, and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.

At the city gate, more than 30 people were blocking the gate, each holding a spear in their hands, guarding the gate.

On the city gate tower, a mighty man in light armor looked down at Zhang Dabiao and others and made a gesture.

Countless soldiers and yamen runners suddenly rushed out from the surroundings, cutting off the retreat of Chen Yan and others and surrounding them.

Zhang Dabiao took a quick look and sneered slightly.

"Sir, there are about 300 people here."

"There are about 150 people from the Nafu Camp, and the rest are yamen runners, also about 150 people."

He did not deliberately lower his voice, and the people who were blocking around could hear it clearly.

Chen Yan was not surprised at all.

Since Zheng Yan witnessed Xiong Jin accepting the rebel king Tang Shuo, the man surnamed Xiong would never let her leave!

He lowered the curtain and signaled Zheng Yan, who wanted to leave, not to move. Then he said, "It seems that the man surnamed Xiong has a lot of lackeys. Well, Biaozi, I'll give you a quarter of an hour to deal with them."

These few words were deliberately louder, and the people around them laughed.

"Is this guy crazy?"

"Only a dozen people, to deal with us? We have three hundred people!"

"I really don't know what the adults are thinking. To deal with such a few crazy people, it takes such a big battle."

The soldiers and yamen runners of the other side talked about it, laughing, mocking, sneering or complaining.

They didn't see what happened in the county government before. They were summoned in a hurry and thought that there were a large number of bandits coming, but they never thought that there were only a few people!

On the city gate tower, the mighty and majestic man couldn't help but frown slightly.

He was Wu Ming, the soldier of the Nafu Camp of Lianggu County.

After receiving the news, he rushed over immediately.

When he heard that someone broke into the county gate in broad daylight, he thought that there were many intruders, so he not only mobilized as many soldiers as possible from the surrounding Nafu Camp, but also mobilized all the remaining yamen runners from the yamen.

According to the establishment of Yanggu County, the number of yamen runners was originally limited to 56.

But with this number of people, Xiong Jin had to complete his mission.How could the great cause of cutting oil be enough?

In addition, Xiong Jin himself knew that he had made too many enemies, so the yamen kept more than 200 yamen runners all year round.

Unexpectedly, when he gathered nearly 300 people, he saw that the other side had only a dozen people!

Wu Ming was secretly unhappy in his heart. This Lord Xiong was making a fuss.

He was about to open his mouth to order the other side to surrender, but he saw that a dozen riders suddenly pulled out their hands from under the saddle at the same time, and each hand took out a strange short crossbow, raised it suddenly, and pointed it at the people around!

Wu Ming was stunned.

At first glance, the crossbow looked similar to an ordinary handheld short crossbow, but in fact, the shape was very different and looked a bit strange.

But he sneered immediately.

At such a close distance, even if the other side could injure more than a dozen people on his side with a short crossbow, the others would be enough to pull the other side off the horse or even kill him directly before the other side reloaded the crossbow arrows!

"These thieves dared to break into the county town in broad daylight. They must be rebels! Catch them!"

Wu Ming shouted coldly.

Some brave people could no longer hold back and rushed towards Zhang Dabiao and others.

Zhang Dabiao made a gesture with a gloomy face.

In an instant, twenty crossbow arrows flew out from the twenty short crossbows!

Half of the forty or fifty people who rushed forward were hit in an instant. Everyone was hit by an arrow in the knee. They didn't even have time to dodge and fell to the ground with their knees hugged.

Although the remaining people were frightened, they thought that the other party had no time to reload and it was a good opportunity to make a contribution. They had no intention of stopping and rushed forward like a tide!

Unexpectedly, the ten riders had no intention of putting down their short crossbows to reload or drawing their swords to fight. Their fingers pulled the trigger again!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

The arrows flew like rain, and the remaining people who rushed forward all hugged their knees and screamed and fell to the ground!

Wu Ming's face turned pale instantly: "How is this possible!"

The other party actually fired another round of crossbow arrows without reloading!

The other people around were also stunned.

What's going on!

Before they could make any move, the crossbow arrows came out again!

With a whizzing sound, wave after wave of arrows swept out, and batches of yamen runners and Nafuying soldiers fell down with wailing!

For a moment, screams were heard everywhere on the spacious street. More than half of the 300 people of the other side had fallen in the blink of an eye!

After three rounds of arrow rain, the others finally reacted and screamed and dodged around to escape!

Zhang Dabiao laughed.

Since the Zhuge Liannu was mass-produced, Chen Yan ordered them to practice the use of crossbows.

These brothers had already practiced their left and right hands to be equally skilled, and there was no problem with accuracy at this distance.

Every arrow could hit the target's knee or thigh, ensuring that the opponent would lose the power to resist to the greatest extent without killing the opponent's life!
