The World of Yellow Sky
Page 160
It was already the time of the curfew stipulated by the Yellow Turban Army. Naturally, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the sound of Xu An's and his party's horseshoes was very clear.
At the end of the street, a patrol team of the Yellow Turban Army slowly turned the corner.
"Crack-"
A soft sound caught Xu An's attention. Xu An turned his head to look to the right side of the street. The sound came from behind the high wall of Lifang.
At the same moment, Liu Pi also smelled a hint of danger. As the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, he had been exposed to many battlefield scouts and reconnaissance methods on the battlefield, and he also deliberately learned some of them. But it feels a little strange.
There was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and Liu Pi's pupils suddenly dilated, and three men in black clothes with long bows suddenly protruded from the wall on the right.
"How brave!"
Liu Pi yelled angrily, and almost when the three of them appeared, they had already driven their horses and stopped in front of Xu An.
"Ding, ding."
But hearing two soft sounds, two feathered arrows broke from the middle and fell under Liu Pi's Yanling Saber, but the other feathered arrow shot fiercely into Liu Pi's shoulder.
"Bang!!!"
With a bang, the gate of Lifang opened, and five men in black rushed towards Xu An.
The sound of chains sounded, and the two men in black had already thrown the strange weapons in their hands.
In the blink of an eye, there was no room for Xu An to dodge, the bay red horse under his crotch had already been hit by the strange weapon, and the bay red horse suddenly let out a wail.
The bay red horse neighed, and turned to one side.
"Lord!"
Liu Pi's eyes were red, and he yelled angrily and flew down from his horse.
Just when the bay red horse was about to fall, Liu Pi flew to rescue Xu An, so that Xu An would not be overwhelmed by the falling horse.
"Escort!"
Behind Xu An, the Eagle Wolf Guard Tiqi had already reacted, some of them rushed towards the five men in black, and the other rushed towards Xu An, wanting to protect Xu An.
"Whizzing!"
There was another soft sound. On the wall of Lifang, when the other two men in black were still drawing their bows and nodding their arrows, the other shot two arrows in the blink of an eye.
"Lianzhu Arrow!"
Liu Pi looked shocked.
The two Yinglang Wei Tiqi who were closest to Xu An fell off their horses in response.
The archer did not shoot Xu An, who was blocked by Liu Pi, but the guard behind Xu An.
There is no room for Liu Pi to think, two men holding ring-shoulders are walking quickly in front of them, the four eagle wolf guards at the front were killed on the spot after just meeting each other, and the rest were all killed by a A tall man with a long stick blocked the way.
"call out----"
The whistle sounded, and the Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard blew the warning whistle.
Just when the whistle sounded, the man in black at the front in front of Liu Pi suddenly jumped up with the ring in his hand and stabbed forward with the first knife, and the target was Liu Pi's heart.
Liu Pi's eyes froze, and he shouted angrily, and the ring-shou knife in his hand suddenly slashed at the man in black.
To Liu Pi's surprise, the man in black didn't give in half as much as the Han army who had fought against Liu Pi on the battlefield, and he still came forward with his sword in his hand.
Liu Pi's heart was beating wildly. At the critical moment, Liu Pi finally deflected the blade of his Yanling Saber, and chopped off the arm in black that was holding the saber with one blow.
The body of the man in black lost his balance and fell to the ground.
But it also gave another man in black a chance.
A white rainbow suddenly appeared, and the man in black suddenly drew his sword and attacked Xu An, but it was too late for Liu Pi to come back to help.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, everyone's attention.
The cold light reflected on the ground, as bright as autumn water.
"clang!!!"
But hear a pop.
Xu An's sword was in front of him, but he himself blocked the blow that the man in black was bound to receive.
There was an expression of disbelief on the face of the man in black.
Time flows again at this moment.
An astonishing murderous intent flowed in Xu An's eyes.
"Zheng!!!"
The Yanling knife quickly slid past the man in black with his knife around his head.
Xu An yelled, turned sideways suddenly, and chopped off the hands of the man in black to the ground.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
There was a sound of piercing through the air, but this time it didn't sound from the wall there, but from behind Xu An.
The three archers standing on the wall had no time to react, and were killed by more than ten feathered arrows on the spot.
The feather arrows were shot from the hand crossbows of the eagle wolf guards riding behind Xu An.
"Stay alive!"
Xu An shouted coldly, backed away quickly, and distanced himself from the man in black in front of him.
Although this person's hands have been severed, but it is not guaranteed that he has other means, it is better to be cautious.
At this moment, the Tiqi behind Xu An finally arrived, throwing the two men in black in front of Xu An and Liu Pi to the ground, and the man in black holding a long stick was also captured by the Eagle Wolf Wei Tiqi in front of him. Shoot with a hand crossbow.
"Ta Tata..."
A flag officer in goshawk uniform rushed into Lifang with several Tiqi.
The situation was completely under the control of the Yellow Turban Army, and Xu An still held the Yanling Saber in his hand.
All of this happened so fast, it didn't even take more than a dozen seconds.
"There is no sound, my lord."
A hundred households of the Eagle Wolf Guard looked at Xu An with an embarrassed expression.
Xu An's complexion was slightly gloomy, and the two black-clothed men lying on the ground had already turned black, and they couldn't die anymore, it seems that they must have taken poison.
And the black-clothed man holding a long stick was hit by five or six arrows, and a feathered arrow hit his head, and he was already dead.
There was a noise behind him, and Zuo Mustache Zhang Ba hurried there with a team of cavalry.
When Xu An was assassinated, he happened to be patrolling the nearby Lifang. When he heard the warning whistle, he immediately rushed to the location of the whistle with his own cavalry.
"This……"
Zuo mustache's face turned blue. He saw the corpses of more than a dozen Eagle Wolf Wei Ti cavalry lying down on the street, as well as the corpses of three men in black.
The smell of blood still lingers in the air and has not dissipated. It is obvious that a fierce battle broke out before.
When Zuo Miao Zhangba saw Xu An, whose body was half-stained with blood, he was so frightened that he fell off his horse and fell to the ground.
The mess all over the ground in front of my eyes has already explained everything.
Xu An and his party were ambushed in Jinyang City, and the place where the assassin was hiding was within his jurisdiction.
"Ming Gong..."
Zuo Miaozhang scrambled and ran towards Xu An's direction.
If Xu An is injured, he will die. Although it is summer, Zuo Miaozhangba is like falling into an ice cave at this moment.
Chapter 288 It's a risk
Xu An didn't go to the government office again, but walked straight to the office of the Eagle Wolf Guard under the guard of a group of soldiers.
Jinyang City was not peaceful at this time, the city entered into a state of martial law in an instant, and groups of soldiers from the Yellow Turban Army marched in from outside the city.
Allowing in and not out, a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers poured into Jinyang City.
In Jinyang City, the Eagle Wolf Guard Office is brightly lit at the moment.
The Yellow Angels have taken over the entire office of the Eagle Wolf Guard.
Xu An was sitting in the hall of the experience department, and two Fu Zhu were bandaging Liu Pi's shoulder wound beside him. The feather arrow had been taken out and placed on the ground.
In the hall, several eagle wolf Wei Tiqi dressed in red and white, all of them looked like water.
Zuo Mustache sat in a corner of the hall with his head full of sweat. He didn't dare to speak, but kept wiping the sweat from his head.
A wolf guard Qianhu in a red wolf uniform hurried into the hall, half-kneeled on the ground, and reported to Xu An who was sitting in the first seat: "Reporting to my lord, among the three archers who fell into Lifang, two of them are still alive." Breath, Fu Zhu has treated it, and when it is cured, we will start interrogating immediately."
"The 12 soldiers who were on duty at night on the west side of Lifang have all died, nine of them were killed by sealing their throats with a knife, and three of them were shot through their throats by arrows."
"The eagle wolf guard is thoroughly investigating the inside of Lifang, as well as the details of the surrounding markets here, please wait a moment, my lord."
At the same time, Guo Daxian walked into the hall in military uniform, holding his helmet.
"Duke Ming, our army has completely controlled Jinyang City."
Xu An calmed down slightly, today was the closest he had been to death in a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that I have never given up on practicing martial arts in the past few years, if it wasn't for the fact that I have never slacked off for a long time.
He might really be hit by that assassin.
In order to go out of the city to Wubao this time, Xu An only brought dozens of Eagle Wolf Wei Tiqi who were born as Yellow Angels.
But in the final analysis, it was long-term stability, which made Xu An no longer as cautious as before.
Xu An said in a deep voice: "The impact of the commotion in the city must be kept to a minimum. There is no need to cover up the fact that I was assassinated. At this time, there may be gangsters in the city. Now that the city is under martial law, we must be extremely careful not to cause too much commotion, otherwise Jinyang City will be destroyed. People's hearts may be unstable."
Xu An's brows were slightly frowned, the identity of the assassin had not been found out, the faces of the five people were completely disfigured, and it was impossible to see their faces clearly.
The two men in black with ring-shouldered knives and Ti Qi who could kill four Eagle Wolf Guards in an instant are definitely not ordinary people.
You must know that all the eagle wolf guard guards guarding Xu An are good soldiers in the army, and they were born as yellow angels.
Those two's martial arts skills are definitely top-notch among knights, especially the last assassin's sword strike, Xu An still has lingering fears in retrospect.
Zuo mustache Zhangba finally couldn't bear the suffering anymore, he straightened up and then knelt down on the ground, pleading guilty.
"My subordinate failed to monitor, causing the thieves to sneak into Jinyang City, putting Duke Ming in danger. I also ask Duke Ming to punish the crime. The subordinate is willing to accept any punishment."
Zuo Miaozhangba was trembling all over, it was his responsibility, it was all because he didn't notice that Xu An was ambushed.
"The defense of the inner city of Jinyang City is now taken over by the Eagle Wolf Guard, and your military power will also be handed over."
Xu An paused for a while before speaking.
"Is there any objection?"
Zuo Miao Zhangba bowed down again, and replied: "Your subordinate obeys orders."
"For the rest, wait until the eagle wolf guard investigates, and you go back first."
Zuo Miao Zhangba bowed deeply to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Ming Gong's kindness, my subordinates will always remember it."
Many people are destined to have no sleep this night.
……
On the second day, it was dawn, and Qianhu, an Eagle Wolf Guard, walked in front, and two Ti Qimen of the Eagle Wolf Guard behind him dragged a man in a prison uniform covered in blood into the Experience Division.
"To the great virtuous and virtuous teacher, one of the two assassins unfortunately died under torture, but this person has confessed."
The leader of the Yinglangwei Qianhu half-knelt on the ground and said.
"This person has already confessed. Two of the five are followers of the guard family in Hedong County, and the other three are rangers paid and hired by other families in Hedong County."
"Kill me...kill me..."
The blood-covered prisoner was dying, and he kept screaming in a low voice.
The criminal law of the Yinglangwei is somewhat similar to that of the later Jinyiwei. Xu An once learned about the criminal law of the Jinyiwei, and he also memorized some execution methods.
Those vicious tortures have indeed turned many hard-bodied tough guys into soft-legged shrimps.
According to "Ming History" Volume 73 "Criminal Law Records": "The coolest one is the pipa. Every time you go up, you will lose all your bones, sweat like rain, and come back to life. If you do this two or three times, under the cruelty, how can you go to prison?" No."
Every time they were tortured, the prisoners' wailing shook the walls, their flesh and blood festered, and they could not live or die. The cruelty was unspeakable.
