A knife in love

Chapter 2638
When Qi Jiu said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "According to the situation in front of me, I think that after the Japanese pirates broke the city, they are busy clearing the stragglers in the city, eliminating worries about the future, and then approaching the magistrate's office step by step. There is no fire here. Once the Japanese pirates think that there are no hidden dangers in the city, they will gather a large army and besiege the magistrate's office. At that time, there will definitely be a fierce and fierce battle here!"

Wang Xiaoyu looked around while listening to Qi Jiu's words.I saw that the houses near the magistrate's yamen had been burned to a piece of white ground, within a radius of fifty or sixty feet, there was nothing but vacant land.Looking further into the distance, although there are still many houses, most of them are on fire.Wang Xiaoyu nodded, and said in his mouth: "I don't know if there are archers in the county government. Otherwise, even if all these houses are burned, there will be no archers to kill, and the Japanese pirates will still be able to advance step by step."

Before Qi Jiu could speak, a catcher behind Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "I want to teach you that there are not only bows and arrows in the yamen, but also many knives, guns and sticks. Most of the weapons in our hands have been discarded. Killed all the way here and snatched many robbers' knives and guns, but it was still far from enough. If you enter the Yamen, everyone can get a weapon."

Wang Xiaoyu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go there now?"

After she finished speaking, she was going to go to the Yamen.Qi Jiu hurriedly stopped her, and said in his mouth: "The city is already in chaos, and there are loud shouts and killings everywhere, but the magistrate's yamen is like an ancient temple, without the slightest sound. Isn't it too strange? Miss Wang, don't go rashly, first Go explore the way."

When Qi Jiu said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Madam Wang, please stay here. If there are pirates chasing and killing them, Miss Wang must lead everyone to resist for a while."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Xiaoyu's answer, he walked over to the county magistrate's office.Wang Xiaoyu had a sharp heart, knowing that Qi Jiu was worried about something unexpected happening to him, so he let himself stay here.On the surface, he ordered himself to lead the people to fight against the Japanese pirates, but in fact he asked them to protect him.Although Wang Xiaoyu has always been proud and arrogant, seeing Qi Jiu take such good care of him, he still felt a warmth in his heart.

Qi Jiu walked more than ten feet away, not far from the gate of the magistrate's yamen.At this moment, there was a sharp "whoosh", and a feathered arrow was shot from the top of the gate of the Yamen, and it was inserted impartially on the ground three feet in front of Qi Jiu. The man is not only a good archer, but also has amazing arm strength.

Qi Jiu watched the feather arrow shoot into the ground, knowing that the arrow was not intended to kill her, but to warn herself not to approach, so she stopped, looked up at the gate of the yamen, and said loudly: " Next Qi Jiu escaped from the north gate and begged to see Mr. Xu Yingyang."

Just as Qi Jiu finished speaking, he saw a head protruding from behind the black tiles on the top of the gate, looked at Qi Jiu, and then said loudly: "You throw the weapon in your hand on the ground, and then go to the door to speak."

Qi Jiu saw the man wearing a black gauze hat from a distance, and knew that this man must be Xu Yingyang's Jin Yiwei, so he put the spear head down and forced it into the soil, and then slowly walked towards the gate of the yamen.When he reached the stone steps in front of the gate, he stopped, raised his head to look at the top of the gate, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the Japanese pirates raided Beicheng. We were caught off guard and returned in complete defeat. Master Guan Changguan and Mr. None of the other fourteen Lord Jinyiwei retreated, and all of them died in the battle in Beicheng. I retreated from Beicheng with the remnant soldiers, gathered hundreds of people who escaped from the Japanese pirates along the way, and fled back together. Please see Master Xu, Report important matters to him, and ask adults to report on his behalf, I am very grateful."

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, the Jin Yiwei hiding at the top of the gate did not answer immediately.Qi Jiu felt uneasy, thinking that I was ordered by Xu Yingyang to guard the North City, but the Japanese invaded the city, and even Guan Chang, the lord of the city, died in battle in the North City.According to the military laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who lose their defense will be beheaded, and those who fall into the city will be beheaded.In terms of military law, it is enough to kill me twice.Xu Yingyang has great power in his hands, and it is a critical moment. In order to boost morale, he may behead me in front of everyone, as a warning to others.I am the general of the defeated army, even though I am killed by military law, I am willing to be killed.But if Miss Wang knew that I was beheaded by Xu Yingyang, she would fight Xu Yingyang and Jin Yiwei to the death.How could she be against Xu Yingyang and his group by herself?How could she think of a way to get her out of Dongliao County and rush to Wangjiazhuang to join Brother Li and Miss Murong.With Brother Li protecting her, no one could possibly hurt her.

When Qi Jiu was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone above his head say: "It turns out that Chief Qi has arrived. Mr. Xu had heard that the Japanese pirates attacked Dongliao County earlier, so he sent someone to meet Commander Qi. Since Commander Qi retreated to the county magistrate's office, why did he go to deliver the order?" Didn't your brothers come back together?"

Qi Jiu was shocked when he heard the words, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Haojiao learned that the Japanese pirates suddenly attacked the city. We were caught off guard and couldn't resist. They took us to the top of the city. Master Guan led us to fight the Japanese pirates to the death, but the Japanese pirates are so many. Everyone, Lord Guan, etc. died in battle one after another. I have no choice but to escape all the way back. But from the beginning to the end, I did not see Lord Jin Yiwei who was going to Beicheng to deliver the order."

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, there was no sound above her head again.He thought to himself, Xu Yingyang planned to let the Japanese pirates attack Wangjiazhuang first, but he didn't expect that Dongliao County would bear the brunt. After hearing that the Japanese pirates attacked the city, he could only mobilize his troops again to defend the city.However, the Japanese pirates are powerful, and the defenders on the city are pitifully small, so the city was captured by the Japanese pirates in an instant.Nine times out of ten, the Jin Yiwei sent by Xu Yingyang to Beicheng to pass orders encountered Japanese pirates on the way, and was murdered by Japanese pirates.

Thinking of this, Qi Jiu was about to speak when the person above him said, "Since that's the case, Commander Qi can come in and talk. But the people you brought back can't enter the yamen for the time being, and have to wait outside the gate. Wait until Commander Qi sees you." After Mr. Xu, whether these people will stay or not is up to Mr. Xu to decide."

After hearing what the man said, Qi Jiu was stunned, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the Japanese pirates have been chasing us all the way, and we are not far from the magistrate's office at this time. If only the next person is allowed to enter the magistrate's office, and the Everyone stays outside the yamen, if Japanese pirates kill them, wouldn’t they be killed?”

As soon as Qi Jiu's voice fell, the person above his head said, "Commander Qi, don't worry, you can go and see Mr. Xu. As for the people under your command, although they are not allowed to enter the Yamen for the time being, they will definitely not be allowed to be slaughtered by Japanese pirates." That's right."

Although Qi Jiu was still hesitant in his heart, but now the arrow is on the string and he has to do so.If he procrastinated not to meet Xu Yingyang, the Jin Yiwei guarding the magistrate's office would definitely become suspicious, and things would get even worse.It's better to meet Xu Yingyang as soon as possible, report the fall of Beicheng, and ask him to order to open the gate of the yamen to accept the defeated soldiers.Thinking of this, Qi Jiu had no choice but to say loudly: "Thank you, my lord, I will just obey orders."
