Chapter 154 Riot (double updates merged)

After giving an order, King Rong's soldiers rushed in with overwhelming force. Zhao Qian gave an order, and the soldiers and horses on both sides met with swords.

More and more King Rong soldiers poured in, and they were brave and good at fighting, almost one against ten. In contrast, the officers and soldiers of Tongzhou County were simply retreating.

The county gate was broken, so Magistrate Gu dared to stay here. He immediately ran towards the carriage in chaos under the escort of the Yamen servants.

Just as Magistrate Gu was about to get on the carriage, a long arrow hit the carriage. He was so frightened that he jumped back. He was almost hit by the arrow, my mother.

Thinking of this, his legs immediately went limp.

Qi Tong asked some yamen servants to help him, and with great difficulty he pushed Magistrate Gu into the carriage. After Qi Tong asked the yamen servants to stop, he took a deep breath, pulled out the arrow from the carriage, whipped his whip and left.

King Rong's soldiers came fiercely, and the common people panicked and ran away with their children, wives and elders in their arms. Some were stabbed halfway and fell to the ground, still protecting the children in their arms, while some resisted with all their strength and had wounds on their bodies. Those who drew their weapons fought against the King of Rong soldiers, while those who did not have weapons chose to run away.

The mountains in Tongzhou County are high and the emperor is far away, and the people are tough and tough, but no matter how tough they are, they are not martial arts masters. Facing the Rongwang soldiers who have really seen blood, they will be vulnerable in a short time.

An old man fell to the ground and was stabbed. He vomited blood and grabbed the ankles of King Rong's soldiers to prevent them from killing his relatives. Finally, after being stabbed many times, he winced and died, just like an ant.

But overnight, Tongzhou County became a hell on earth.

After killing the enemy, Zhao Qian saw the brutality of King Rong's soldiers. He was so angry that his blood boiled. He stabbed King Rong's soldiers hard with the knife in his hand. He pulled it out and rushed not far away. A soldier of King Rong was crying and looking for his father. The direction in which the mother-in-law girl swung the knife.

laugh!

The girl fell down in horror, her crying stopped, and blood flowed down her thin neck.

Zhao Qian's eyes were stunned, and he felt heartbroken and sad. He saw with his own eyes that the girl died tragically under the sword of King Rong's soldiers.

The decree is false, but the massacre of the city is true.

Zhao Qian's mind went blank. His family had been arranged in a safe place in advance, but where was the current shelter for the people of Tongzhou County?

King Rong and Emperor Zhu, should they die?

He doesn't understand.

King Rong's soldiers scattered in all directions and headed towards the six towns in a mighty manner.

There are people guarding the gates of each town. If the county gate is broken, there is also the town gate. Every town gate is guarded and blocked. No one knows which town gate it will be next, and no one dares to take it lightly.

However, the people at the county gate who were lucky were able to rush to the town gate before it was closed, but those who were unlucky were blocked from the town gate. They slapped the town gate in despair but did not open it. The guarded soldiers could not resist and opened the door. Let people come in and read the lyrics. Rong Wangbing is behind you, and let people lock the door, while you use your body to block Rong Wangbing's sword.

Cai Yong asked people to bring bows and arrows. He drew the bow and pointed it at Zhao Qian, turning a blind eye to the harm done to the people by his men. There were only a few victims in the struggle for power, so they were unlucky.

When Zhao Qian swung his sword at another King Rong soldier who was killing women and children, he noticed a cold arrow coming from behind him. He ducked, blocked it with his sword, and narrowly dodged it.

"Go quickly." Zhao Qian shouted to the women and children.

The woman had just saved her life from the gate of hell. She no longer cared about protecting her dead husband and left in tears. Her body swayed uncontrollably with every step she took, and she needed to use everything she had to continue walking.

Cai Yong took the arrow away from Zhao Qian and turned to the woman and child with a smile.

call out!

Zhao Qian was stunned.

However, in the blink of an eye, the woman and child who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth had been hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. The last moment she fell to the ground, she gasped and turned to look in the direction of her husband, unwilling to close her eyes, and the luster of her pupils gradually dimmed.

Cai Yong looked at Zhao Qian with eyes full of contempt and arrogance: "Don't you want to protect Tongzhou County? I will let you die to the end today and let you watch how they die under the sword of King Rong."

"brute!"

Erlang's bloody nature was the easiest to be provoked. The murderous aura in Zhao Qian's eyes surged like a fire dragon, and he quickly attacked him with a sword. Two Rongwang soldiers stood in front of him, and they could not hurt him even after several rounds of confrontation.

Cai Yong didn't expect that there was such a strong general in the small Tongzhou County. If he hadn't killed his own brother, he would have taken him under his command.

Pity!

Cai Yong chose a suitable place to sit down. He watched Zhao Qian and King Rong fighting with each other lazily, teasing him like a cat catching a mouse. As long as he successfully rescued a commoner, he would give it to him. He shot the bow and arrow, letting him watch the people he saved die in an instant, in vain.

This is the cruelest way to destroy people's willpower.

The inn was not far from the county gate. After the county gate broke in, the noise became louder and louder. More and more Rong Wang soldiers were massacred in Tongzhou County.

Sergeant Liang saw people dying under King Rong's sword upstairs. His expression suddenly changed and he cursed: "Damn it, is it easy for me to be promoted to an official? Anyone who stands in my way will die. Come and kill them."

If Tongzhou County becomes a dead city, how can he transport military supplies back to the camp tomorrow?

He didn't know whether King Rong was treasonous, but Tongzhou County could not be reduced to a dead city, otherwise, he would also die here.

And the military officials responsible for collecting military rations also began to panic. Did they really break in? You just broke in, why did you kill someone?

Didn’t you say we wanted to arrest the ‘Guotong Hou’? How come people are being slaughtered with knives?

The soldier was anxious: "Sir, King Rong's soldiers brutally slaughtered the people. Are we just going to watch like this?"

Why is it urgent? Because among the 5,000 soldiers responsible for transporting grain on this trip, at least several hundred are from Tongzhou County. Can you not be anxious when you see the disaster in your hometown? Naturally, he was anxious to death.

So the restlessness becomes more and more obvious.

The military officer's face was livid, and after thinking twice he ordered: "Go and protect the people quickly."

The soldier asked: "Should we kill the soldiers of King Rong?"

The military officer was furious: "If you don't kill the King of Rong soldiers who kill people at will, why don't you wait for him to kill you? Kill them all, and retreat for me."

……

The Feng family was in chaos.

"Block the door, it's blocked." Feng Zheng ordered the servant with a pale face.

It is true that people sit at home, and disasters come from heaven.

Feng Zheng was furious. Those powerful people were also ill-informed. They didn't even know about such a big thing as King Rong's rebellion.

If he hadn't also given gifts to the boss of the county government, no one would have known about it.

Today, I'm afraid things are going to change!

Tongzhou County seems to be in trouble. Is it too late for him to take his whole family around to Songxian County?

"Master, what should we do now? Le'er is still in Fangzikou Village. Will she be fine?" Mrs. Feng had never seen such a battle. She panicked when she heard that King Rong's soldiers were attacking the county gate. , How could they attack the county gate for no reason? The person who came here must be evil.

"Don't panic, don't panic. The town gates are closed. Le'er will be fine. Tongzhou County has a national waiting team, so there will be no problem." Master Feng hugged Mrs. Feng and comforted him. When he woke up, he heard that the town gate He knew something was wrong when all the county gates were closed, and just now his son said that King Rong was rebelling.

This was not a good sign, but when he thought that there was still Guotong Hou, he felt that he should be able to prevent this disaster.

When Wang Shuyan and Duan Li arrived at Wuli Town on horseback, they found that the town gates were closed. They had no choice but to take a detour. In the end, they found that all the town gates were closed tightly. Although they delayed the incoming Rong Wang soldiers, It also left the people with no way to survive inside. Once the Rongwang soldiers broke in, they would die if they hid in the wall.

But if all the gates of the town were opened, Queen Rong would kill everyone even though she was killing everyone.

Wang Shuyan's heart sank, and he circled back to Wuli Town, asking Duan Li to climb over the wall with the rope hooked to the wall and open the town gate.

The old official guarding the town gate was startled when he saw Duan Li. He showed his knife and asked tremblingly: "Who are you...are you a rebel of King Rong?"

Duan Li was dressed like a villager, but he didn't look like it at first glance. He hurriedly explained: "Master, don't panic, we are going to Guotong Marquis Mansion to bring reinforcements. Please open the gate of the town." The old official didn't believe it. "You must be rebels, I will kill you."

Duan Li had no choice but to knock him unconscious with a palm, dragged the elderly official aside, and quickly opened the town gate to welcome Wang Shuyan in.

Wang Shuyan looked at a large number of old officials who had been knocked unconscious. He received Duan Li's helpless look and comforted him: "I understand. You have to follow the authority. You are not wrong."

Only then did Duan Li's depression dissipate, "Then the town gate still needs to be closed?"

Wang Shuyan pondered for a while and shook his head: "It's better to leave it open, leaving a small window for survival so that the people won't die in despair."

Duan Li agreed, opened the town gate and got on his horse. Wang Shuyan didn't know where the Feng family was, so he walked around in a circle and had to give up. Forget it, it was more important to go to Guotong to wait for the deployment of troops.

The two men divided their troops into two groups. Duan Li blew a whistle and gathered 400 secret guards. He divided his troops into two groups, half of them stayed to protect the country and the other half went to the county gate to support.

Wang Shuyan, on the other hand, rode his horse all the way towards Guotong Waiting.

Guotonghou is the quietest location in Tongzhou County. It is closest to North Town and farthest from East Town. It takes two-quarters of an hour to ride a horse all the way.

On the road, some officials ordered people to stay behind closed doors. In some mansions, soldiers were waiting outside with swords. One of the plaques read 'Dongbohou' and the other 'Yonglehou'. They must have been descended from distant clansmen.

These clan members actually hung up their necks and acted like turtles at the critical moment. Wang Shuyan felt even more contemptuous. No wonder Guotong Hou died tragically in the end because he relied on one person to block his way of survival.

An official asked her to dismount, so she had to put down her horse and show her jade pendant, which was engraved with the words "Zhang" and "Guotonghou". The official took one look at it and immediately bowed and returned it, and no one dared to stop her.

As soon as she arrived at Guotong Marquis Mansion, she saw that there were also soldiers guarding the outside. She got off her horse and stepped forward, showing the jade pendant in her hand, and shouted: "On the order of Governor Zhang, we will mobilize troops to support the governor Zhao Qian to protect Tongzhou." County, please listen to my instructions immediately."

The soldier guarding the gate was stunned, then stepped forward and took it after hesitation: "Girl, please wait a moment."

After a while, the palace soldiers were opened, and a gorgeous lady came leading the elite soldiers in a hurry.

Wang Shuyan's expression changed slightly, and she almost thought they were trying to arrest her.

The elite soldiers walked out of the mansion in an orderly manner and lined up, filling a street. Then they respectfully said to her: "You are willing to wait for orders." There should be two hundred of them.

So refreshing? Don't even ask her?

Wang Shuyan looked at the luxurious woman in astonishment.

Mrs. Qiu presented the jade pendant in her hand and smiled gracefully: "Xiaojiu told me before leaving that if someone comes to the mansion with his jade pendant to mobilize troops, he must be released. The person who came from King Rong today is not good. The Marquis of Guotong would have sent troops to suppress it."

The woman's identity was not simple at first glance. Wang Shuyan guessed that this person should be Zhang Jiulin's sister-in-law.

Reaching out to take the jade pendant from her hand, Wang Shuyan looked at Butler Fu who was following him, waiting for his introduction.

Butler Fu smiled at her and said, "Miss Wang, this is our eldest lady."

Wang Shuyan said "Oh", and sure enough, he quickly smiled and called: "Hello, madam."

When Mrs. Qiu saw how generous she was, he liked her refreshing energy even more. He smiled and patted her hand: "Just call me sister-in-law like Xiaojiu."

Wang Shuyan nodded and said, "Sister-in-law." She laughed out loud. Anyway, it's okay to see her elders smiling.

Mrs. Qiu had the feeling of an elder meeting a younger one, and nodded with a smile: "Hey! Go ahead and have some tea when you're done."

Seeing her calm expression in the face of danger, Wang Shuyan responded with some humor: "Okay!"

Mrs. Qiu watched her get on her horse neatly, followed by a large number of elites, who looked heroic and mighty. She couldn't help but said to Butler Fu: "I finally know what Xiaojiu likes about her."

Butler Fu responded with a smile: "Since Miss Wang can catch the eyes of the Ninth Young Master, she is certainly not like an ordinary woman."

An ordinary woman would have been frightened away when she heard that there were rebel soldiers at the county gate, but she dared to lead the troops and move forward. This was beyond what ordinary women could do.

The second lady, who was behind me at some point, said, "It's better to send more troops. I don't think that number is enough."

Qiu shook his head: "Those who attack Qianfeng have chosen the best, and the rest must protect the people in various towns."

The third lady who followed the second lady said, "That's right, if King Rong makes such a fuss, I don't know how many people will suffer."

Mrs. Qiu sighed: "I don't know why, but I always feel that your Majesty is in danger."

The third lady snorted coldly: "How can the Ninth Five Lord who stepped on so much blood be so easy to be a leader?"

This remark was a double entendre, not only mocking His Majesty, but also clearly mocking the disloyal King Rong.

The second lady's expression changed slightly. She looked at Mrs. Qiu and saw that her eyes were cold and speechless, so she said nothing more.

Yes, how could it be so easy to be the Ninth Five Lord who stood up with so much blood? No matter who it is, it is not easy to be a person!

……

Zhao Qian's men died one after another, and the people he wanted to save were shot to death by Cha Yong one after another.

"Help me... my baby is about to be born..." A potbellied woman was held in Zhao Qian's arms. She reluctantly came to his rescue, her wet expression full of panic.

Zhao Qian found a flat place and laid her down. His throat seemed to be filled with lead and he was speechless.

There was a commotion of soldiers and horses, and Duan Li led his men to kill them.

Cai Yong looked at the extra men and horses, his eyes were serious, and he snorted: "You don't overestimate your capabilities."

He raised his hand slightly, and King Rong's soldiers behind him rushed in like a fish and started fighting with Duan Li and others.

With more people, more and more people can be protected and rescued.

Zhao Qian knew Duan Li and was relieved when he finally arrived, "Hold on, I'll take you to find Po Wen."

"Ah... no, I can't hold on any longer!" The woman felt a sharp pain coming over her. She held Zhao Qian's hand tightly with both hands. She couldn't bear it anymore and raised her head and let out a shrill roar.

Zhao Qian's eyes widened and he saw with his own eyes that the woman's stomach deflated in front of her eyes, a fishy smell came over her, and a baby fell from the woman's body.

She was actually born, a girl.

A bloody and naked baby with its umbilical cord attached was born in front of him.

"Please...save him." The woman's strength seemed to have been drained away. Her face was as pale as snow, and she begged him, her voice getting weaker and weaker, and finally she closed her eyes.

Zhao Qian stretched out his hand to check the woman's breathing, and found that she had expired.

The baby seemed to feel something, frowned and opened his mouth to cry.

In just one breath, some people die, and some people are reincarnated. Every time they come to this world, it is a cycle of life and death. Misfortunes and blessings are unpredictable, and life and death are impermanent.
