Time is slow

   Chapter 424 Fierce Battle

  Tofu Xishi's house is located at the westernmost end of the village, and it is lonely like an island. Because of the arrival of Qiao Zhao and others, not to mention the midnight, even in the middle of the day, the villagers were reluctant to approach half a step.

   Those evil ghosts from the Qiao family were released by this group of people, what a bad luck!

   A group of men in black surrounded Tofu Xi Shi's house like a tide.

  The walls of the houses in this kind of village are not high. When the leading man in black waved his hand, all the men in black jumped on the wall and filed in.

  The yard was quiet, there was no light at all. As the men in black jumped down one by one, and there was no place to stay in the yard, suddenly countless torches were thrown out, and the light instantly brightened.

  The torch fell on the black-clothed crowd, instantly igniting their clothes, and the screams came one after another.

  The men in black who were surrounding the courtyard heard the movement inside and shouted: "Watch carefully, don't let the people inside run away."

   "No, why is there such a bright fire inside?" Someone wondered.

   The face of the leader who stayed outside changed slightly, and he waved his hand: "Kick the door and go in!"

  The courtyard was already in chaos.

   Those people in black who were attacked by the torches reacted quickly after the initial panic, rolled on the spot to extinguish the flames on their bodies, and rushed towards the door of the room.

   In the darkness of the night, Shao Mingyuan's brows froze: "It turns out to be a well-trained army, which is interesting."

   Qiao Zhao, who was hiding in the house, couldn't help but walk up to Shao Mingyuan: "Army? How did the prefect mobilize the army?"

   "I'm afraid I have to ask Li Zhifu about this. Zhaozhao, go back to the house, these people should solve it sooner."

   To be able to transfer the army, the power behind Li Zhifu should not be underestimated.

  Qiao Zhao glanced hurriedly by the lit torch, and said in a low voice, "There are a lot of people, General Shao, you have to be careful."

  Shao Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Zhaozhao, if you call me Big Brother Shao, I will be careful."

   "At this time, do you still have the mind to joke?" Qiao Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth.

   "You can't call me Big Brother Shao at this time?" Shao Mingyuan asked back.

   His eyes were well-born, pure as black gems, shining with anticipation.

  Qiao Zhao looked at him, his heart softened suddenly, he whispered "Brother Shao", turned around and went back to the house.

   Shao Mingyuan raised his lips and smiled, and jumped into the melee crowd with a long knife drawn from his waist.

   Qiao Zhao, who had returned to the house, heard the fierce fighting in the courtyard, and couldn't help but reach into his arms and took out a dagger.

   This dagger was given to her by Shao Mingyuan during the day for her self-defense.

   She pulled the dagger out of the dagger sheath, and a cold light flashed through the darkness.

   In order not to be targeted by the enemy, the house is not lit.

   "Girl, beware of hurting your hand." Azhu reminded softly.

  Qiao Zhao carefully rubbed the blade and said lightly, "No."

  In the beginning, if there was such a dagger, Shao Mingyuan might not need to shoot that arrow.

   "Where's Ice Green?" Qiao Zhao asked as he put the dagger away.

   "Just now Binglu said to get a fire stick for self-defense."

  Qiao Zhao shook his head: "Take a fire stick for self-defense? I'm afraid she rushed out to fight with a fire stick."

  Azhu's complexion changed slightly: "Girl, maid, go and call Binglu back."

  Qiao Zhao stopped Azhu: "We'll just wait in the house, don't go to the trouble."

   There will be nothing wrong with the morning light in the ice green. With the little girl's temperament and preference, it may be a good thing to have more experience.

   The sound of fighting outside the house sounded even more tragic.

   On the outskirts of Baiyun Village not far away, Li Zhifu stood with his hands behind his back, looking to the west, his expression gradually became solemn.

   "Why isn't it over yet?"

   The opponent only had more than ten people, but he invited two hundred soldiers. Even if the champion Hou Wugong was outstanding, would he still be able to fly?

   It stands to reason that things should have been resolved long ago.

  Li Zhifu couldn't help but look up at the sky.

   The sky in the middle of the night is dark blue, and the moon hides in the dark clouds, which is so dark that it gives an ominous premonition.

   "Sir, there may be something wrong with the situation." The staff came up and whispered.

   "What do you think of Mr. Han?" Li Zhifu was also drumming in his heart at this time. Hearing what the staff said, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

   "According to our previous estimates, this battle should be resolved quickly, but it hasn't ended yet, so what happened."

   When the staff said this, they saw a man in black running out of breath: "Sir, things have changed!"

   "What's wrong?" Li Zhifu's heart sank.

   "Sir, it's not that there are only a dozen or so people in the yard, but there are at least dozens of masters who are one to ten!"

   "What?" Li Zhifu suddenly changed color and asked eagerly, "How is it over there now?"

   The person who came here said anxiously: "Now that most of our people have lost, I'm afraid it won't last long!"

  Li Zhifu shook his body and lost his voice: "How could this happen?"

   The chief of staff sighed: "Sir, we still underestimated the champion. This time the champion went south with more than just so many people!"

   "This official is careless, the champion Hou Wei has been in the north for many years, how can he let the top be flat and round!"

  The staff suddenly gave a deep sigh: "Sir, now we only have two ways out, you must make a choice as soon as possible."

   "Mr. Han, please speak."

The staff straightened up, staring at the west side with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "The first option is to pretend to be ignorant, and when the champion is called to report tomorrow, let's send some people to look after the rogues, and let the matter pass. ."

  Li Zhifu shook his head: "This road is not chosen by the official. Since he has made a move, there is no reason to retreat. The champion is not a fool, and he will definitely ask us to settle accounts in the autumn."

The    staff obviously thought the same way, nodded again and again, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "Then don't do it again and again, and use the power of the whole government to suppress the bandits!"

   "Mr. meant to say—"

"We can mobilize nearly 1,000 yamen and government soldiers. There are robbers in Baiyun Village, and some villagers who escaped by chance reported to the officials for help. The prefect of Jianan came to suppress the bandits overnight. Unfortunately, the champion Hou and others In order to protect the villagers, he was unfortunately killed while fighting against the bandits!"

   "Okay, let's do it like this!" Li Zhifu held his hand, "I don't believe this official. Under the siege of nearly a thousand people, the champion can still escape."

   In this way, the unfavorable factor of rogues in Jianan can be offset by his timely elimination of rogues.

   Although Li Zhifu was very confident in the people he invited, he was not a stupefied young man who had just entered the officialdom, so he decided to make the worst plan for the champion.

  The nearly 1,000 yamen and government soldiers had assembled early in the morning. At this time, they decided to break the boat, and they rushed over quickly and went straight to Baiyun Village.

  The night was dark and windy, and the sound of fighting and deafening footsteps made every household tightly close the doors and windows, and they didn't even have the courage to look at it.

   That night, I don’t know how many people were covered with quilts and shivered.

   Hundreds of ghosts walk at night, is Baiyun Village about to be in disaster?

   Forty-third more. For this update, I would like to thank Yuan Xiaoqin for the He Clan's jade that he rewarded in February.
