Concubine's true colors

Chapter 230 Public Identity (1)

At dawn, the night gradually faded, and there was only a dim light on the edge of the sky.

This morning, people basically didn't get up to work, and they were still sleeping in the dreamland. This should be the most peaceful and peaceful moment, but Zhulin Town ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

In the small town of Zhuluo, all the residents were woken up almost at the same time by the sound of a huge sound of gold and iron horses. Without knowing why, they hurriedly opened the door and looked out. and go.

But it doesn't matter at first glance, all the people not only gasped.

Because all the common people can only see that in front of their houses there are teams of 300 people wearing pitch-black battle armor and holding cold light weapons, walking in front of them with neat and heavy steps. Walked by chillingly.

And among the ordinary people, those who are more active and like to gossip on weekdays to join in the fun, seeing that these hundreds of people are by no means thugs, but more like a regular army of the imperial court, they couldn't help being curious immediately, and prepared to hold them back. Some of the soldiers asked why they came to Zhuluo Town.

But before these common people, who joined in the fun, nodded and bowed their heads to ask a word, what they greeted was the merciless killing of these black iron armored guards.

And at this moment, walking in the front of the team, a man wearing a tall battle armor and holding a black iron knife, who was in charge of strangling Zhou Xianyu this time, Qi Bei, the deputy captain of the black armor guard, this time the horse Stopped, and turned around and ordered to the hundreds of soldiers who followed:
"His Royal Highness called the captain yesterday, and he led more than a hundred brothers to Zhuluo Town. Now we and the brothers from Heishanzhai also gathered together last night. You have already understood the purpose of our trip. If There was a small mistake, but the lives of those two were not killed, and what awaited our brothers would be a catastrophe, so in order to prevent any rumors from being leaked, everyone in Zhuluo Town must be strangled."

Qi Bei's words were heard clearly by the Black Tiewei and the surrounding people, but at the next moment, the reactions of the two sides were completely different.

It can be seen that almost as soon as Qi Bei's voice fell, all the black armored guards raised their weapons and pointed at the ordinary people around them.

And the unarmed ordinary people, after several villagers were killed one after another, immediately fled in all directions crying and screaming.

Even until the moment of their death, many people still couldn't figure out why the soldiers of their own country would target them, the people of the Great Zhou, with the murder of death.

Such a loud cry of killing and cutting resounded above the sky at dawn. Even though Old Man Zhao's house lived a bit further away, it was still hard for him not to hear it.

And this time, knowing that there must be something wrong outside, so Xiao Jinxuan opened the door and walked into the courtyard with a calm expression as soon as she finished her clothes.

Looking down at Tuanzi who was holding her skirt tightly, trembling all over, and her small eyes were extremely frightened, Xiao Jinxuan knew that the other party, as a beast in the mountains, was always sensitive to danger, and this reaction of the little guy also It is enough to show that the crisis may be imminent.

As for Zhou Xianyu, he had rested cross-legged on the roof tiles for the past two nights, as the saying goes, he can see far from a high stand, so Zhuluo Town is now crying, and he can clearly see the scene of the wanton massacre by the black armored guards.

Seeing innocent people dying under the sword of the black armored guards, Zhou Xianyu was very frightened and angry, but he knew that he was brave, but he could fight against hundreds of people with one person, otherwise it would not be bravery , but recklessness.

That's why he suppressed his anger and only waited for Xiao Jinxuan to come out. After understanding the situation, the two of them could come up with a proper way to save the people of this town.

And when Zhou Xianyufei got off the roof and told Xiao Jinxuan everything, all he got was a faint smile.

Immediately, Zhou Xianyu said without knowing why: "Xuan'er, we have to think of a way to deal with it now. The people in this town are still being slaughtered. Why are you so calm and smiling?"

As long as he is given 100 troops, Zhou Xianyu believes that he is enough to deal with the hundreds of black armored guards outside, but now even if his military skills are superb, there is no one to dispatch, so he can only be anxious.

Seeing Zhou Xianyu's impatient look, it was rare for Xiao Jinxuan to take the initiative to hold the opponent's hand first, and then said with a very calm expression, still smiling at the corner of her mouth:

"Xianyu, I will laugh. I know that the one who should come is still here. These hundreds of people must have come for your life. Now the gap between the enemy and us is so big that no good strategy can make up. We are on par with each other in terms of strength. Therefore, what we can do now is to quickly move in to rescue soldiers."

Seeing Zhou Xianyu listening carefully, Xiao Jinxuan looked at him gently, and continued to say in a concentrated voice:
"Actually, the town is in chaos right now. With you protecting me and escaping, there is still a great chance of escape, but the people in this town will die completely for us. Although I, Xiao Jinxuan, am not a compassionate person, I am so It is impossible for me to disregard the lives of many people, so I will try my best to deal with the black armored guards here, while you must leave quickly and try your best to bring rescuers here."

Whoever stays here will definitely die. Originally, Zhou Xianyu's worst plan was to stay and guard Zhuluo town until the last moment, and let Xiao Jinxuan lead the group to escape on their own.

But he didn't expect that the other party had the same idea as him, and wanted to leave this chance of escape to him.

Immediately, Zhou Xianyu only felt in his heart that he couldn't tell whether he was moved or sad. He hugged Xiao Jinxuan in his arms with a backhand, and then said emotionally:
"My silly Xuan'er, what nonsense are you talking about? I, Zhou Xianyu, am I a time of crisis, and I don't care about abandoning my woman. I don't care about my life. If you want to go, you will go. I will stay to delay time for you, and I will be with you." The innocent people in this town who were implicated lived and died together until the last moment, and as the King of War of the Great Zhou, this will also be my honor and my best destination."

Two people leaving at the same time, not only the goal is too big, but also no one can hold back the black armored guards, they will be chased by the other party in a short time, and neither of them will survive.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu had to have someone stay behind, not only to delay the time, but also to stabilize the overall situation for the people of this town, to give them more chances to escape, so that they would not be completely massacred.

Therefore, they clearly knew that the one left behind must not be able to escape and survive, so Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu competed to stay and leave the chance of survival to each other.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan broke free from Zhou Xianyu's embrace, and was about to drive him away forcibly, Guo Yi's astonished shout suddenly came from the fence gate outside the courtyard.

"War King! Master Xianlong, who did you just say you are?"

As soon as the words fell, Guo Yi didn't have the slightest image, she brushed her hair, ran to Zhou Xianyu with a face full of shock, and looked at him with wide eyes.

Guo Yi is a Juren, but his family is very poor, and now in his thirties he has not married a wife and had children. He doesn't even have a house in the town, but lives outside the town in a thatched hut surrounded by wind.

As soon as the Black Armored Guard entered Zhuluo Town, the first thing he knew was Guo Yi, and he even realized that something was wrong right away.

Therefore, Guo Yi quietly followed into the town. When he saw the black armor guards killing, Guo Yi was almost not scared to death, and immediately rushed to the old man Zhao's house to report the news, so that everyone could take advantage of the chaos and escape for their lives.

In the town, everyone has always thought that Guo Yi's words are dissolute and his appearance is like a lunatic, but only old man Zhao and Da Nier, although their family background is not rich, they always help him.

And one winter when it snowed heavily, Guo Yi was froze in the hut due to hunger, cold and embarrassment. He was also the old man Zhao who went up and down the mountain to catch rabbits. Rabbit broth was given to him, which saved his life.

And this Tang Zhien, Guo Yi will remember it in his heart in the future, so Yan Sibao, a bully, came to the door, and others couldn't dodge, but he rushed to rescue him, and it was also because of the grace of saving his life.

In addition to the long talk with Xiao Jinxuan yesterday, Guo Yi was impressed by this young but talented girl, and really couldn't bear her tragic death at the hands of those soldiers, so she rushed to report the news.

But Guo Yi really didn't expect that when he came to this old Zhao's house, he heard what Zhou Xianyu said just now, which almost didn't shock him to death.

That Mr. Xianlong actually called himself the King of War, although on the way here, Guo Yi had already vaguely guessed that the hundreds of soldiers who broke into Zhuluo Town might have something to do with Xiao Jinxuan.

He even filtered the possible real identity of the other party in his mind.

However, even if Guo Yi had an amazing talent, he never imagined that one of these two people who hid in Father Zhao's house and talked with him yesterday would be the prince of the Great Zhou royal family.

As for Zhou Xianyu, looking at Guo Yi who was about to put his face on his face, he immediately pulled the other party away, and then said without concealing:

"That's right. This king is indeed the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Ji Xianlong is just a pseudonym. Those black armored guards outside came after me and Xuan'er, and I can't absolve you of innocent people. So I will To live and die with the people in Zhuluo Town, to kill the enemy and avenge the innocent people who died."

But upon hearing this, Guo Yi immediately dragged him and walked out, mumbling even more:

"I can't be stupid, I'm so stupid, why am I so confused this time, Guo Yi? The word Ji Xianlong is the alias of Zhou Xianyu, the war king of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Don't say anything, my lord. If you stay in Qingshan, you won't worry about it." Firewood, even if you stay here, you won’t be able to save many of the people in this town. Instead of killing a few soldiers and risking your life, it’s 36 tricks. Going forward is the best plan. I know there is a path. Maybe you can avoid those people, you should run for your life as soon as possible.”

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan persuaded her to leave just now, now Guo Yi actually told him to run away. Although Zhou Xianyu is not a pedantic person, he is even extremely unrestrained, but don't forget that he is a commander in the army and told him to retreat without a fight. It is more unacceptable to Zhou Xianyu to abandon the people of this town than to kill him.

But Guo Yi was originally a rebellious person, and if the sour Confucian ministers in the court were replaced, they might praise Zhou Xianyu for his spirit of fighting the enemy and never retreating.

But from Guo Yi's point of view, all of this is bullshit. Although the people in this town are innocent, since Zhou Xianyu is alone, he can't save everyone at all. So run for your life, so as to avenge the death of those who died in vain in the future. The best choice.

To stay and die in vain seemed to him a reckless act.

And Xiao Jinxuan also stepped forward, and said anxiously in her voice:

"Xianyu, hurry up, your life is more important than mine, as long as you escape, even if I am caught, they may not kill me immediately in order to find out your whereabouts, so you just need to move quickly from the local government office. Come to rescue the soldiers, this is the only way for us all to survive, and the people in this town are waiting for you to rescue us, Zhou Xianyu has no time at all right now, let you hesitate, we must take the overall situation into consideration Heavy, don't make me disappointed in you."
