Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 156 Coming and not being indecent

under night.

The cry of killing and the sound of arrows whizzing through the air shattered the tranquility.

There are more than 50 archers on the Divine Guard side, and all of them have practiced wind-chasing arrows. Although they have not yet started, their accuracy has improved a lot.

A rain of arrows came down, and more than a dozen arrows penetrated the thief's body from behind.

"No, it was discovered."

The expressions of Bai Su and others changed, with panic on their faces.

They came here to steal rice, so they subconsciously regarded themselves as thieves. Now that the thieves were discovered by their masters, out of human instinct, the first thing they did was not fight with their masters, but run away.

In addition, some of their companions were shot to death, and some people with a strong mentality also lost their will to resist.

After the archers fired a round of arrows, the last group of crossbowmen stepped forward and pulled the triggers.

Another round of arrow rain came. The lethality of the crossbow arrows was much stronger than ordinary arrows, and the penetrating power was also stronger.

This group of tiger soldiers came to steal food, so they were dressed lightly and without armor. Bai Su felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been punched hard.

Without looking, Bai Sui knew he had been hit by an arrow.

However, although he was not wearing armor, he was wearing a goggles, so the crossbow arrows could not penetrate him.

The only thing that can shoot through iron armor and breastplates is the bed crossbow.

Two rounds of arrow rain came down, and more than thirty people on Bai Sui's side fell to the ground.

The brave guards cooperated tacitly. After seeing this, they used a three-three formation to kill the remaining thieves.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Bai Su was startled, his hands and feet felt cold. He never expected to be discovered by the other party so quickly. This location was still far away from Pingting County, and it was so late at night, so many people weren't sleeping?

Although he is a seventh-level warrior, he is still made of flesh and blood. The opponent's flames are soaring into the sky, but he cannot see how many people there are, so he can only retreat first.

The men of Hu Jie's army were waiting for Bai Su's words. They immediately threw away the hatchets in their hands and ran away, ignoring the donkey cart.

Su Qi was covered in blood, standing with a knife, and ordered in a cold tone: "Kill them all!"

The Warrior Guards have received professional training, have killed people, experienced bloody battles, and are not afraid of death at all when they have an absolute advantage.

Each one transformed into a peerless warrior, cutting down one person with one strike.

Most of the Hujie troops were not locals and did not understand the local terrain. When they were chased and lost their structure, some people tripped over the field ridges in a panic. Some stepped into the paddy fields and their feet fell into the black mud. They were caught up. The brave guard slashed and killed.

……

By the time Chen Mo arrived on horseback, the fighting had stopped. After Su Wen and others led the pursuit to Dadong Lake, they stopped chasing. The territory beyond that would be Qingting County.

After being ordered to rest, these exhausted soldiers immediately slumped to the ground, and some soldiers half-knelt by the lake, holding the water in their hands and drank.

Seeing Chen Mo coming, Su Qi, Hu Qiang, and Han Wu stepped forward to greet him: "Master Chen Xian."

Chen Mo got off his horse and said, "What's going on?"

Su Qi replied: "When Zhang Fusheng, an ordinary soldier of the First Squadron of the Divine Brave Guards, was fishing at night, he found someone sneaking into our territory. His subordinates thought that these people were launching a night attack, but it turned out that they were secretly harvesting rice..."

Su Qi told the story in full.

"What are the casualties?" Chen Mo frowned and said.

"The enemy doesn't know, but only three of us sprained their feet while chasing the enemy, and the others were uninjured." Han Wu said.

After the words fell, the three brave guards who sprained their feet suddenly turned red with embarrassment and lowered their heads silently, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Caught alive?" Chen Mo asked.

"Back to Master Chen Xian, we captured two people alive. They said that they were soldiers under Yuan Youchun's command, and that Bai Sui brought them here to steal food in order to take revenge on you, Master Chen Xian." Hu Qiang, who had just asked the question, said.

"Sure enough, this matter will not end so easily." Chen Mo frowned and asked immediately: "Have the rice they stolen been recovered?"

"Where is Master Chen?" A brave guard led a donkey cart over and said immediately: "When they saw us coming, they didn't dare to fight. They dropped their weapons and ran away like urine."

"I really don't know how these cowards defeated the Qingzhou Army." This battle was the first time that the Divine Guards fought against the Tianshi Army, and the opponent's performance made Su Qi look down upon him.

"It just depends on the number of people." It has to be said that the strong strength gives the people below them the capital to be proud of.

Seeing that they were becoming arrogant so quickly, Chen Mo couldn't help but hit them with words, saying: "They were just caught off guard by us, and they were not wearing armor. They have nothing to be proud of."

Su Qi and Han Wu lowered their heads after hearing this.

Hu Qiang said: "Master Chen Xian, what should we do next? Yang Minggui ordered this matter to be dropped, but Yuan Youchun did not stop. We just happened to have caught a witness, and it is time to ask him for an explanation."

"Yuan Youchun will definitely not admit it." Chen Mo looked at the body of a thieves who was hacked to death on the road, and immediately thought of something, and said: "It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

"Su Qi, Han Wu, Hu Qiang."

"My subordinates are here." Su Qi and three others shouted in unison.

"Take your men, cover your faces, and follow me straight to the salt warehouse." Chen Mo ordered.

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked. They had just chased away Bai Kuan's group of people and rushed to the salt warehouse. Could it be that they were too impatient.

However, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, so the three of them shouted in unison: "No."

During the time when Chen Mo arrived, they had almost rested.

Except for the three crippled ones, the rest of the brave guards all followed Chen Mo and headed straight for the Salt Lake.

……

The moonlight is the brightest in summer.

The brave guards had robbed the salt warehouse twice, and the third time they came, they seemed to be familiar with it.Hu Jiejun, who was on duty at the salt warehouse, definitely did not expect that someone would come to rob the salt warehouse at this time.

After all, the entire Qingzhou is the territory of the Tianshi Army. They have no enemies in Qingzhou.

Plus it's so hot in the summer and it's so late now.

The defense of Yancang was extremely lax, and the few Hujie soldiers guarding the door of the warehouse even dozed off against the door with their spears in their arms.

There were not many troops in Yancang, and some who were still awake were rolling dice in the barracks, as if no one was watching.

"Whoosh!"

There was a piercing sound of breaking wind.

An arrow shot straight into the eyebrow of a Tiger Soldier soldier, who fell to the ground with a thud.

pat!

The lantern in the soldier's hand fell to the ground. The nearby Hujie Army soldiers heard the movement and just turned their eyes over.

"Shhhhhh!"

Several blasts of wind came, and several crossbow arrows shot into their chests. They instinctively let out the last muffled groan before death, and then fell to the ground.

"kill!"

In the cold tone, there was a strong killing intent.

The next moment, Chen Mo rode out on horseback and rushed out first.

The Hu Jiejun outside the barracks had no time to scream, before he was cut in half by Chen Mo's knife.

"Clap!"

The horse's hooves trampled heavily on the lantern, and the dim firelight immediately went out.

"No, there are thieves!"

"Meet the enemy, meet the enemy!"

Suddenly, the tranquility around Yancang was completely shattered. A soldier of the Tiger Army shouted several times before he died.

The soldiers of the Hujie Army who were guessing the points in the barracks finally realized something was wrong and quickly went to get the weapons nearby.

Just then, several torches were thrown in.

Thick smoke poured into the barracks.

"No, it's on fire." someone shouted.

After finally waiting for them to grab their weapons and rush out of the barracks, the brave guards waiting outside fell with their swords and hacked them to death.

Crossbowmen and archers squatted outside the barracks and came out to shoot one by one.

Chen Mo held the Tang Dao in one hand and the broadsword he had picked up in the other, and he charged into the Hu Jie army who came out of the salt warehouse very arrogantly.

Several spears came at once, Chen Mo dropped his swords, and the tips of the spears were all cut off. The long and invisible sword light drew a half-moon in Hu Jie's army.

Although these tiger warriors all wore leather armor, they could not stop Chen Mo's combined strength of nearly [-] points.

Several people were cut into two pieces.

"what!"

The shrill screams stimulated Hu Jiejun's nerves.

At this moment, Chen Mo was like a wolf among sheep, slashing left and right with two swords, and with one person's power, he killed hundreds of Hujie soldiers who rushed out of the salt warehouse.

hiss!
When Su Qi and Hu Qiang saw this scene, they took a deep breath and looked horrified.

"Kill it."

Seeing Master Chen's bravery, the brave guards' blood suddenly boiled, and each of them turned into a god of death.

Someone who slipped through the trap of Hujie's army rushed out of the camp and wanted to run back to the county town to report the news. Han Wu, who was waiting outside, led a group of people and carried out a follow-up kill.

Chen Mo was filled with killing intent. He grabbed a Tiger Army soldier, wiped his neck, threw away the big knife he picked up, used the other party's body to wipe the blood on the knife, put it back into the scabbard, and ordered: : "Kill them all."

After taking care of the guards of the salt warehouse, Chen Mo and other brave guards quickly left the salt warehouse, each carrying a bag of about twenty kilograms of coarse salt on their backs.

The whole process took no more than half an hour, and the cooperation was extremely tacit.

When the Hujie Army in the county saw the fire in the direction of Yancang and hurried over, Chen Mo and his party had already fled.

And they still didn't know what exactly happened or who the murderer was. They were only shocked by the corpses on the ground in front of them.

...

Qingting County Yamen.

As soon as Yuan Youchun and Bai Kuan finished discussing how to deal with the food theft incident, a soldier ran in rolling and crawling, his face full of panic, his body trembling slightly, and said: "General, Commander Bai, No. Oh no, something happened, the salt warehouse was robbed."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Yuan Youchun and Bai Su were both shocked.

When they arrived at the scene, the people below came to report that no one on duty at the salt warehouse was alive that night, so no one knew who had done it.

The scene was so chaotic that no clues could be found.

But Yuan Youchun knew that this must have been done by Chen Mo.

As a result, before he could think of a countermeasure, Chen Mo personally brought people over at noon the next day, grabbing the two survivors from last night and demanding an explanation from Yuan Youchun.
