Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 214
"What's going on outside?"

Liu Gang's face was full of doubts and worries when he first arrived, but after all, he came from a wealthy family and had seen many battles since he was a child, so he didn't panic. He hurriedly put on some clothes, got out of bed, and thought I was about to open the door and go out, but at this moment, a voice came from the side——

"Junzi Liu, please stay in the house first. The situation outside is still unclear. If you go out rashly, there may be an accident. Please stay in the house and do not go out."

The sound came suddenly and was so close that Liu Gang was startled. He quickly made a defensive posture and quickly retreated towards the place where the long sword was - the long sword was a standard equipment for the children of the aristocratic family who went out to study.

Before he could retreat, he saw clearly the appearance of the person who spoke, and immediately recognized him as one of the ten riders following Zhao Xing.

These riders were the experts sent by the Zhao Xing clan after Zhuge Yan’s incident to protect Zhao Xing’s safety. After all, Zhuge Yan’s status was important and he was much higher than Zhao Xing, but Zhao Xing was not a full-fledged person. It was given as a gift with phone bills, and someone at home was thinking about it.

Over the past few days, everyone has seen the abilities of these ten people. In terms of personal martial arts, they are much higher than the fifty servants under Chen Zhi. Each of them is a strong martial arts master. If you don't have the Speed ​​Talisman, you may not be able to win against any of the ten people.

And the ten of them also had the ability to attack together, and their extraordinary combat power impressed everyone in the group. Therefore, as soon as Liu Gang recognized that the person in front of him was Zhao Xing's guard, he relaxed, but at the same time there was I'm confused, what's going on outside?Why did this guard suddenly come to his room?

The guard didn't hide anything, so he told Zhao Xing's instructions, and then said: "My companion has gone to contact other gentlemen. To make sure there is no danger in the courtyard, I will let a few of them get together first."

"A horse thief is actually attacking? Such a big movement is not something ordinary horse thieves can do." Liu Gang breathed a sigh of relief, took the long sword in his hand, and adjusted his clothes.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and another knight guard came in and said: "There is no danger in the courtyard for the time being. Mr. Chen asked me to take several gentlemen to Mr. Lu's room and talk there."

"Since it's Brother Chen's order, let's set off quickly."

As soon as Liu Gang heard this, he urged to start. The noise outside became louder and louder, and the ground shook faintly. It became more and more obvious, and he became more and more worried.

However, the first guard in the room exchanged the code with the person who came after him, and then nodded. One of them lit the lamp in the room, and then protected Liu Gang one after another, walked outside the room, and quickly walked towards Lu Go to Ying's room.

On the way, Liu Gang noticed that the main hall was brightly lit.

"Eh? Is there anyone in the lobby? There are so many lights on." As soon as the voice fell, he looked at Lu Ying's room again and couldn't help but frown, "Brother Lu's room is completely dark. Isn't there anyone in there?"

The courtyard they lived in was much inferior to the inns in the county. The only saving grace was that there were more rooms, but some of them were in corners. For example, Lu Ying's room was in an inconspicuous place with no lights. Easier to ignore.

The guard behind him said: "This is what Chen Junzi ordered. Let us light the lights in the lobby and select a few rooms to light up..."

After listening to this, Liu Gang vaguely understood. He recalled the behavior of a guard lighting a lamp when he left the room, thinking thoughtfully.

Soon, he arrived at the place, and Chen Zhi, Tao Ya and Lu Ying were already waiting inside.

On the way here, he saw the busy figure of a famous servant. They were holding weapons and shuttled through the courtyard. Their steps were neat and their actions were quick. This inexplicably made Liu Gang feel at ease.

After entering the room, Liu Gang's breath had calmed down. He happened to see Chen Zhi take out a strange piece of paper, about the size of a palm, and handed it to a guard. He gave a few instructions. The guard had a look of astonishment on his face, but he still He nodded in agreement, then walked out with the piece of paper.

Liu Gang looked at it with curiosity on his face and saw that it was actually a talisman with complex patterns written on it. Just one glance made him feel like he was being distracted.

But then a voice drew his attention back.

"Brother Liu, you're finally here," Tao Ya greeted Liu Gang first, but his voice was less calm and more solemn, "It's convenient for us to get together in case something happens." leave."

Liu Gang hurriedly came over and said, "I need to ask a few more questions. What's going on? Is this really a thief here?"

"It's basically certain that they are a group of horse thieves. There must be more than a hundred people. After thinking about it, it may not be an accident that the horse thieves came here. After all, they are very particular about not returning home empty-handed. In my opinion, it is possible that they came for us. , you have to be careful.”

After the words fell, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhao Xing walked in with a solemn look. He looked around everyone, and his eyes finally rested on Chen Zhi: "Brother Chen, you sent your servants out to set up a formation? I think this Not a good decision."

He was worried that Chen Zhi would misunderstand, so he explained: "This village is not big, and there is not much cover. The horse thieves only need to clear the way, which is almost a flat river. Now they are setting up a battle formation. It is infantry against cavalry, and there is no corresponding weapon. The disadvantage is not small." , unless we can force them to dismount, otherwise it would be better to withdraw as soon as possible."

Chen Zhi nodded and did not answer. Instead, he asked a few questions and learned the specific situation from Zhao Xing's mouth, confirming that a horse thief was really coming.In fact, some of Chen Zhi's servants have also undergone scout training. This time, among the 50 elites, there are several people with this ability. Every day after he goes to bed, these people will take turns to stand guard and conduct patrols.

There was a sudden change outside today, and his scouts came over to report it as soon as possible. They also judged the general route and direction of the rebel army based on the sound, firelight, etc. they learned during the drill.

Because of this, Chen Zhi made some arrangements.

But as soon as Zhao Xing finished speaking, everyone else became nervous, especially Tao Ya, whose expression changed immediately when he thought of what happened in Wobing Tower.

Just when everyone's expressions changed, another person came in from outside the door. It was Chen Ju, the leader of Chen Zhi's family. He stood upright with his fists clasped and said in a loud voice: "Master Qi, the thief is about to arrive. How should we deal with it?"

Chen Zhi smiled at Zhao Xing and then said to Chen Ju: "Don't be anxious yet. I'll have people place a line of defense on the thief's path to trap him until he is exhausted. Then you can rush in again." , but we must always be prepared. This bandit has strong soldiers and horses, and strong energy and blood, and the formation may not be able to trap him for a long time."

"No!" Chen Ju heard the words and turned around to leave. However, Zhao Xing felt anxious. He noticed the rhetoric in his words and couldn't help asking: "Brother Chen, have you made arrangements? What kind of array are you talking about?" ?" He was close to Zhuge Yan, and of course he knew the inside story of Wang Mi's battle, so when he heard this, he did not refute, but asked.

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, a feeling flashed in his heart, and then he said with a smile: "Okay, the array has been set up."

Before, of course, what he asked people to take away was the enchantment talisman and placed it on the road.

Chen Zhi was not completely sure whether the horse thieves were coming, but he was certain that the enemy was coming. Outside the courtyard where they were temporarily staying, there was a road that was very suitable for horse thieves to attack, so he arranged for one of Zhao Xing's guards to bring them there. Take the enchantment talisman.

The reason why he did not arrange his own servants was because in terms of personal combat power, Zhao Xing's guards were all good fighters and had a higher success rate. Even if they were discovered by horse thieves, they could escape in time.

On the other hand, the ecstasy array, as a lottery ticket, can be deployed through Chen Zhi's silent thoughts. Invisibly, it has a special spiritual connection with Chen Zhi. Even if it is held far away, it can still be sensed remotely.

As soon as he said "the array is set up", everyone in the room was confused and didn't know what happened.

But at the same time, outside the house, on the empty road, there was a group of horse thieves approaching unhurriedly.

Because it is a village, unlike county towns where houses are densely packed, the houses here are not dense enough and are quite widely spaced. Chu Jin, the owner of this courtyard, in order to express his differences, does not want to live with ordinary civilians. They were together, so the yard was built near the water, away from the hustle and bustle. The scenery behind was beautiful, and there were not many houses in the front to block it. This arrangement made it easier for horse thieves to enter.

"It's here, it's here, Chen Jun...Chen Zhi and his gang live here." The person who led the horse thief was Chu Jin, but the landlord no longer had the sense of shrewdness. , replaced by fear and uneasiness, his hands were tied with a rope, and the end of the rope stretched out, and he was pulled by the cow gate on the horse, just like riding a horse and leading a dog.

Chu Jin pointed to the yard in front with trembling hands, his eyes full of fear.

Niumen laughed, waved his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, go ahead! Capture Chen Zhi, and I will make him the fifth boss!" Then he swung the rope and rushed out first.

As soon as he finished speaking, people behind him suddenly roared and horses neighed, and then the horses' hooves flew up and galloped towards the single courtyard!

At the end of the team, the two prisoners looked at this scene and suddenly smiled bitterly.

One of them said softly: "Brother Luo, there is no hope now. Looking at this formation, Chen Zhi is going to be doomed. It is absolutely unreasonable for a few servants to resist. Chen Zhi is defeated. With Niumen's ferocity, you The lives of the two of us must be accounted for here."

The other person also smiled bitterly and said, "I can only accept my fate."

As they talked, they looked towards the cavalry again, and were suddenly startled, unable to recover for a long time.

"This...what's the matter?"

In front of them, the seemingly wide country road was empty, and the horse team rushing past... suddenly became chaotic, and even for a moment, the two felt that the horse team had disappeared.
