Daily life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 77 You Guess Wrong (4000 words)
Hearing the voices from outside the inner courtyard, Mo Jun said decisively: "Withdraw!"

Practicing martial arts is not cultivating immortals. Except for masters who specialize in horizontal kung fu, no matter how strong their internal and external skills are, they are still mortal bodies. Once they are shot through the heart by a strong bow and crossbow, they will still die.

Now, the inner courtyard has been surrounded by more than 800 black armored soldiers. As for the inner courtyard, except for the building under Mo Jun's feet, the rest of the courtyard has already been emptied.

In other words.

Now, once Li Xin's army launches a rain of arrows, there will be no cover in this inner courtyard except for the building where Mo Jun is, and it will be a 'catch a turtle in a urn'.

Hear Mo Jun's order.

Heiyu was the first to react, and with a flash of his figure, he withdrew to the dining hall.

On the courtyard wall, seeing Hei Yu retreating, Zhu Yeqing planned to turn around and run away, but just as he moved a little, he immediately found at least a hundred crossbows pointing at her direction with arrows flashing with cold light.

Zhuyeqing's figure froze immediately.

the other side.

When Hei Yu withdrew to the dining hall, Xiong Er immediately stepped in front of the door, his huge body was like a solid door panel, blocking the door tightly.

"Mr. Gaine!"

Zhanqin yelled from inside the door, but before Ge Nie could respond, another person came to the door with a flash of alcohol smelling all over his body.

The sudden figure almost caused Xiong Eryi to call directly to him. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the figure shouted: "Wait, don't rush, I have something to say."

The black iron steel mace stayed a foot in front of Jiu Jianchi's eyes, and the strong wind blew up his messy hair, making Jiu Jianchi sober from his wine.

For this famous wandering swordsman in the Jianghu, everyone also maintained a high level of vigilance.

"What do you have to say?"

Zhanqin didn't let Xiong Er move away from the dark iron mace on the opponent's neck, and spoke calmly from inside the door.

Jiu Jianchi rubbed his hands, and his face, which was quite temperamental, suddenly looked a little wretched at this time, and then he only heard him smile, and said to Mo Jun: "Hey~~ What, this one My lord, give me a way to survive?"

Seeing that the master's temperament on the other party disappeared in an instant, Mo Jun was also taken aback for a moment.

But soon, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "A way to survive? You can even escape from the palaces of the four kings, so why can't you escape from my little county guard's mansion?"

Jiu Jianchi said with a helpless wry smile: "I just went there to steal some fine wine, so naturally it won't attract the attention of too many palace guards. Besides, even in the palace, it is impossible to casually mobilize a thousand elite soldiers to besiege ah!"

Thinking of the densely packed 800 black-armored soldiers he saw outside the courtyard just now, even Jiu Jianchi couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

What is the concept of a thousand elite soldiers?
This is almost all the vanguard elite of the [-] regular army.

Jiu Jianzhi thinks that he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years and has extensive knowledge.But he has never seen any country guarded by so many elite soldiers in a county guard's mansion!
"Are you sure you want me to give you a way out? No regrets?"

"Maybe!"

Looking at Mo Jun's black and white eyes, Jiu Jianchi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

But thinking about it carefully, he seems to have no other choice now. According to the current strength of the troops surrounding the inner courtyard, Jiu Jianchi estimated that if he escaped forcefully, there would be a [-]% probability that he would be shot by random arrows, a [-]% probability that he would be captured alive, and a [-]% probability that he would be captured alive. There is a probability of being seriously injured and escaping.

If it were a desperado, he might give it a try. After all, the [-]% probability is already very high for the Jianghu people.

But the problem is that Jiu Jian Chi is not a desperado.

Jiu Jianchi thinks that he has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, except for occasionally stealing some good wine, he has never offended anyone.And he is still young, never thought that he would go down to meet his unreliable master so early!

"Let him in!"

Hearing that Jiu Jianchi agreed, Mo Jun also opened his mouth and gave the order to let Xiong Erfang come in.

"Thank you!"

Jiu Jian thanked Chi Chi, and then slowly stepped into the dining hall door.

However, the moment he stepped into the gate with one foot, Jiu Jianchi's expression froze instantly.Because the moment he entered the dining hall, a sword intent that even Jiu Jianzhi couldn't help feeling horrified suddenly locked on his body.

This domineering sword intent was not malicious, but just by its own strength, Jiu Jianchi couldn't help but feel the hairs on his back stand up.

"Ah~~ Do I still have a chance to repent now?"

"What do you say?"

Mo Jun looked at him with a smile, facing Mo Jun's gaze, Jiu Jianchi had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into the dining hall.

until this time.

Only then did Jiu Jianzhi see that there was a one-armed swordsman standing quietly with a long sword hanging from his waist at the blind corner next to the dining hall gate. His place was not only a blind corner of the gate, but also a The best position for the sword.

Jiu Jianzhi has no doubts, but if he wanted to "capture the thief before capturing the king" and take Mo Jun as a hostage, he may have become a dead soul of this one-armed swordsman at this moment.

"Ex... Hello, senior!"

Jiu Jianchi faced Jian Jiuyuan's direction, trying to squeeze out a flattering smile.

But there was a smile on his face, but at this moment Jiu Jianchi was about to scold his mother in his heart.

insidious.

It was too insidious.

This guy has already reached this point, and he even hid a hand of cards for himself.

And what the hell is going on with this Sheriff's Mansion?

The first two are outrageous enough, and the last hidden one is even more outrageous.

······
The duel between Gai Nie and Black and White Xuanjian is still going on. At this time, Gai Nie has only just entered the teacher for a long time, and his strength has only entered the first-class realm.

However, relying on Guigu's unique skills, Black and White Xuanjian wanted to take down Gai Nie in a short period of time, and the difficulty was not low.

But when Zhuyeqing and Jiu Jianchi were subdued one after another, Black and White Xuanjian could only give up the desire to continue fighting, regretting: "It's a pity, it seems that our duel will be delayed again."

The voice fell.

The black and white Xuanjian swords suddenly cut out a black and white cross sword energy, forcing Gai Nie back, while he jumped out of the courtyard wall.

Li Xin, who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, saw black and white Xuanjian appear, his eyes flashed sharply, and he said loudly: "Fire the arrow!"

call out!
call out!
call out!
For first-class masters, it is actually not difficult to escape the pursuit of a thousand elite soldiers.But if you want to escape from the encirclement that has been formed, the difficulty is completely different.

Black and white Xuanjian obviously understood this truth, so he didn't even have the slightest thought of getting entangled with the black armored soldiers. The moment he rushed out of the courtyard, he danced an impenetrable sword net with black and white swords beside him.

In an instant.

A large number of sharp arrows broke in two and fell to the ground.

But even so, there were still three "fish that slipped through the net" that hit Black and White Xuanjian's body, and one shot out through the chest, bringing out a bloody glow.The other two, one in the shoulder and one in the stomach.

However, at the cost of three arrows in his body, Xuan Jian finally managed to escape from the encirclement net of the black armored soldiers, but it was obviously not of much use, because the moment he had just rushed out of the encirclement, the second round of attack came later. .

The black armored soldiers in the front row quickly launched a charge, while a hundred troops on the left and right flanked from the two wings. It only took a few breaths to form a new encirclement circle again.

This is the difference between an army with a commander and an army without a commander.

Once surrounded again.

Then there is really no way out for Black and White Xuanjian.

However, at this critical moment, a rope hook suddenly flew over from nowhere like a ghost, and before Li Xin could react, Black and White Xuanjian grabbed the rope hook, and the whole person flew into the air in an instant.

After several ups and downs.

People have quickly disappeared into the night.

"There is a response, chase after!"

Seeing that someone actually took away the assassin he wanted to arrest in front of him, Li Xin's expression suddenly sank, he shouted, and then took the lead in chasing him.

······
the other side.

Li Xin only took away about 300 people in pursuit of Xuan Jian, and more than 500 people stayed in the county guard's mansion to prevent accidents.

"My lord, what should I do with this assassin?"

After Xuan Jian left, Mo Jun also came out of the dining hall, just in time to meet a black armored soldier holding Zhu Yeqing in front of him, and asked with arms folded.

"This woman and that man are all taken to the dungeon to be guarded first." Mo Jun glanced at Zhuyeqing, and then waved his hand.

Jiu Jianzhi behind him was stunned immediately: "Ah? No...why should I be imprisoned in the dungeon?"

It's a pity that the black armored soldier obviously didn't mean to explain to Jiu Jianchi, he directly shackled and locked him, and dragged him to the dungeon. No problem, but please remember to bring me wine, better wine."

No one paid any attention to this clown.

After dealing with the matter of the two assassins, Mo Jun came to Gai Nie again, hugged his hands and said, "This time, I would like to thank Mr. Gai Nie for his help."

Gai Nie returned a salute with his sword in his arms, and said, "Lord Mo, you are being polite. Even if you are not here today, with the protection of this senior, Lord Mo must be able to rest easy."

The direction Gai Nie looked at was Jian Jiuyuan behind Mo Jun.

Mo Jun shook his head and said, "It's not the same. If today's battle can't be resolved quickly to frighten these villains outside, I'm afraid there will never be a peaceful day for my little county guard's mansion in the future."

The assassins who sneaked into the Sheriff's Mansion just now were actually only a part of them.

Whether it was another part of the 'net' killers who had just responded to Black and White Xuan Jian, or another part of underworld masters who were interested in Mo Jun's bounty, they were all waiting outside the door for news from inside.

Whenever Mo Jun shows a little bit of timidity in the battle tonight, this group of people will definitely rush in, rushing to cut off Mo Jun's head and exchange it for a bounty.

Mo Jun himself is actually not very afraid of being assassinated now, but the problem is that he is not the only one in Mo Jun's house!
Killers know no bounds.

If one day these people find that there is nothing they can do about Mr. Mo, they will definitely look for other loopholes in Mr. Mo's mansion.

Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, Mo Jun specially borrowed a whole thousand elite soldiers from Meng Wu. He just wanted to show the group of guys who are still outside now how much it would cost to assassinate him. cost.

"Hei Yu, cut off the heads of these assassins later, and hang them outside the Sheriff's Mansion."

"Yes!"

Black Feather replied.

"Zhanqin, all the pensions for the soldiers who died tonight will be paid at three times the standard. You can discuss this with General Li when the time comes. We will make up for the shortage."

"Understand!"

Zhanqin saluted slightly.

After briefly dealing with the chaos in the Sheriff's Mansion, Mo Jun turned to Gai Nie and said, "Mr. Gai Nie, are you interested in meeting someone?"

Gai Nie's eyes flickered for a moment, and for a moment he didn't understand what Mo Jun was trying to sell, but he still held his sword and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Zhanqin, Heiyu, and Jian Jiuyuan were left to guard the prefect's mansion to prevent further accidents.

Mo Jun led Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Gai Nie out of the Sheriff's Mansion.

And the moment Mo Jun appeared from the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, countless eyes hidden in the dark immediately sent messages to behind them or to their superiors.

Tonight, there was such a big commotion in the Nanjun Sheriff's Mansion. More than 100 assassins went in, but they haven't come out so far, which in itself has explained a lot of problems.

But now that Mo Jun came out of it intact, it further confirmed everyone's guess.

And the result of tonight's incident is destined to cause quite a stir in the Jianghu.

of course.

These are all later stories.

Mo Jun led the three of them wandering on the street for a while as if they were walking, and then they came to the door of a rather prosperous mansion in a busy city.

"Several distinguished guests, my master is waiting in the lobby."

The owner of this mansion seemed to have anticipated the arrival of Mo Jun and others, so he sent his servants to wait at the door early.

The four entered the mansion.

Soon in the lobby, I saw a middle-aged man with a mustache sitting behind a low table, with several tables of wine and food prepared in front of him, as if he was waiting for the arrival of Mo Jun and others.

This middle-aged man with a mustache might be a bit unfamiliar to Gai Nie, but he is very familiar to people in Nanjun.

Because this is the current concurrent imperial envoy of Nanjun, who has the right to supervise the people and officials, and can even be used to restrain the sheriff when necessary.

"Lord Mo!"

"Master Li, long time no see!"

Mo Jun smiled and greeted the Nanjun and imperial envoy, and then continued: "Speaking of which, since my lord first came to Nanjun, I have always had doubts in my heart. Answer one or two."

"Oh? I don't know what the problem is, but it can bother the Sheriff?"

"The position of Sheriff of South County has been changed three times in a row before my lord arrived. Almost none of the sheriffs have been in office for more than one year."

Mo Jundao: "But what's strange is that apart from the county guard, the other three important positions in Nanjun, Juncheng, Junwei, and Imperial Envoy have not changed for several years."

"My lord has always been very curious. Today's Juncheng is supported by the four major clans in Nanjun, so he naturally has a firm foothold in this place."

"The county lieutenant is concurrently held by the general Mengwu on the border, and it is as stable as a mountain."

"But I don't think Mr. Li has any background and no military power. I don't know how Mr. Li sat in this position for so long in this remote southern county?"

Faced with Mo Jun's question, Master Li, the imperial emissary in front of him, was not annoyed at all. Instead, he took a sip of his wine with a smile and replied, "Before answering this question, please tell me a story for the governor!"

Mo Jun nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Listen carefully."

Master Li said: "There used to be a scholar who had no background, no family background, and no money. Although he was talented in literature, he had no way to serve the country."

"Until the age of 30, this scholar was valued by a big man, and then, under the recommendation of this big man, with just one word, this scholar became Nanjun's powerful and imperial envoy."

"You said, should this scholar repay that great man?"

Mo Jun nodded in agreement, and said: "The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring. But hasn't this scholar ever thought about repaying his kindness with other people's lives? If the other person doesn't die, wouldn't he be very happy?" Danger?"

Master Li smiled and said: "I guess he is not dangerous, because with the protection of that big man, no one in the entire Qin country would dare to touch this scholar..."

Boom!
Before he finished speaking, a huge dark iron mace swept across, and the scholar's head exploded on the spot like a watermelon.

Xiong Er's decisive move made even Gai Nie beside him couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

And Mo Jun took out a silk scarf lightly, wiped a drop of blood that splashed on his sleeve robe, and then covered the scarf on the neck of the headless corpse that was bleeding, and said indifferently: "It's a pity, you guessed wrong!"
