Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1600 The First Battle
  The name must not be revealed. If he did, the other party would probably have to make trouble for him.

With the Mo family's intelligence capabilities, Han Xin felt that it was unlikely that they did not know the name of the Qin army general who had breached the city.

Not to mention Gao Jianli, this stupid big man would definitely make trouble if he knew about it.

Although Han Xin is sure to deal with them, one more thing is definitely better than one less thing.

Seeing that Han Xin did not want to reveal his name, Gao Jianli hesitated and winked at the big hammer.

Although the other party is mysterious and difficult to distinguish between friends and foes, he did help them twice. It is not appropriate to deliberately embarrass others.

Big Iron Hammer understood, and gave up his position somewhat unwillingly.

Han Xin nodded politely and left the alley.

Xiaoyaozi looked at Han Xin's leaving figure and commented in a deep voice, "This person... is not simple!"

Gao Jianli put on his bamboo hat again, nodded solemnly and said, "He'd better be our friend."

When one person leaves, another person immediately appears in the alley.

Changing into a red uniform, a red-haired Long Qie walked in from the other side of the alley.

With all his armor removed... he still looked extremely dazzling.

The red hair is enough to attract attention. He also wears a sexy red dress, which is no different from wearing armor.

"Guys!" Long Qie first called out to attract the attention of Gao Jianli and the others, and then passed directly through the three of them, waving for them to follow, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you guys come with me first."

Gao Jianli and the three of them followed suit immediately.

In the blink of an eye, the alley that was slightly crowded just now was empty again.

………………

On the other side, Zhong Limei followed the sound of the horn and chased him all the way outside the town.

This is an entrance and exit to the town, leading to the place where the Stone of Fire fell.

As soon as Zhong Limei arrived at the scene, he found that Bai Tu's people were arresting people.

I don't know why there is a group of people here who don't look like townspeople, but more like refugees. They probably moved here from other places.

In today's world, there are not many such situations - because the empire is very strict and does not allow free exile, but it still happens - there will always be people who can't survive.

Meanwhile, Bai Tu's soldiers were roughly gathering these refugees together and surrounding them all.

Bai Tu himself was talking in a low voice with a man dressed in black, his face covered, and he looked flattering.

After a few words, the man in black and several other people dressed in the same attire hurriedly left with something, while Bai Tu summoned his deputy and whispered a few words to him.

I don't know what he said, but the deputy with a sinister eyebrow suddenly widened his eyes, showing a very worried look, and finally gritted his teeth, seeming to have made up his mind.

Then, the deputy made a gesture to the soldiers who had surrounded the group of refugees. They immediately raised their weapons and looked ready to take action at any time.

At this time, Bai Tu walked up, shaking his head, with a sinister look on his face, and said in a pretentious manner:

"This general has been ordered to investigate the suspect who used the Yinghuo Stone Demon to deceive the public."

"All persons involved in the case will... be executed on the spot without mercy!"

Bai Tu pulled out his sword, pointed at the besieged refugees, and said murderously.

There were at least a hundred people in this group of refugees. They looked like a large group when they were gathered together, but most of them were old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children. Facing the heavily armed soldiers with halberds, they had no ability to resist and could only keep fighting. Begging for mercy, trying to save his life.

However, the soldiers of the empire may have problems with their discipline, but their obedience is basically up to standard and they must execute orders without mercy. When the situation developed to this point, Zhong Limei could no longer stand by and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him:
  "Stop it all!"

Hearing the sound, Bai Tu looked around and found Zhong Limei, who was wearing armor. He was annoyed and strange:
  "Who are you? How dare you wear armor privately!"

According to imperial law, it is a crime for people without military status to possess weapons, but this aspect is generally lax and most people turn a blind eye.

Possessing armor is even more of a felony. If you are caught, you will have to do hard labor for the rest of your life. Compared with weapons, the management is much stricter, and favoritism is basically not tolerated.

Faced with Bai Tu's questioning, Zhong Limei calmly took out a token and explained his identity:

"I am Imperial Colonel Zhong Limei!"

Bai Tu took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the captain's token. However, he only recognized the token, but did not know the person Zhong Limei.

In recent times, Zhong Limei and Han Xin have become influential figures in the imperial military. Colonel Bai Tutangtang doesn't even know this name... No wonder he was stupid enough to offend Zuimenglou.

With his IQ, if he can become a captain, there must be big problems behind him.

Because he didn't know that Gu Xun was standing behind Zhong Limei, even if Bai Tu confirmed the other party's identity, he still looked disapproving and asked indifferently:

"It turns out to be Lieutenant Zhong... You are here, but what military duties do you have to perform?"

"I would like to ask Colonel Bai Tu first, what are you doing!?" Zhong Limei narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.

"Didn't you hear? I am carrying out my order to execute the guilty people." Bai Tu still replied casually, but at the same time he did not forget to instruct the soldiers, "You continue to carry out the mission and execute all these people!"

"Insolent!" Seeing that Bai Tu still dared to act recklessly, Zhong Limei was completely annoyed. He drew out his sword, pointed at the opponent and shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor has withdrawn the order to execute the people around the Yinghuo Stone. What you are doing now is clear. It’s killing good people and taking credit, but killing innocent people!”

Seeing that Zhong Limei was determined to oppose him, Bai Tu also narrowed his eyes and replied with a cold snort:
  "This captain knows what Lieutenant Zhong said. However, although His Majesty has withdrawn his order, he has also strictly ordered us to track down the culprit behind the words of the Yingluo Stone Demon."

"And this captain has received clear information that these people are related to the Yinghuo Stone case. It is reasonable and legal to execute them under orders. It is not your turn to meddle in other people's business!"

Zhong Limei frowned.

According to Bai Tu, his operation was not random, but...

"What evidence do you have?"

"Evidence?" Bai Tu glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly, "That's not something Colonel Zhong has to worry about. If you don't have serious military affairs, don't delay the Captain's execution of his orders!"

"Hurry up and execute the order."

Bai Tu finally urged his soldiers again.

Seeing this, Zhong Limei simply turned over and landed in front of many refugees. He protected them behind him and shouted loudly:

"You dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately without any evidence. You are so brave!"

"Let's see who dares to step forward!"

"Presumptuous!" This time it was Bai Tu's turn to say this. He pointed at Zhong Limei, blew his beard and glared, "You are blatantly interfering with my performance of military duties, get out of my way!"

Zhong Limei ignored him, and his cold eyes swept over the surrounding soldiers.

These soldiers frightened him, and he really did not dare to take action rashly.

After all, Zhong Limei was also a school captain. Bai Tu could offend him, but they couldn't.

　I forgot to mention it during my break yesterday, sorry.
