Chapter 124 The Price
Because of the fear of falling rocks, the village was built far away from it.
However, after the other party pointed it out, everyone found that the short section of the mountain road was illuminated by two torches. There were four bandits standing there, holding two children in their hands.
The children were very young, only about four or five years old.
The bandit on the east side of the boundary asked Zhu Xiuer: "Are those two your children?"
Zhu Xiuer had already widened her eyes and stared at the two children, but now she shook her head vigorously: "No! No!"
"No?" The bandit laughed, "Then it has nothing to do with you."
He Yue also saw something was wrong and said anxiously: "Wait, you can't..."
Before he finished speaking, the bandit raised his hand and made a gesture.
There were two childish screams on the mountain road, and his accomplice picked up the children and threw them out directly!
That was a cliff fifteen feet deep!
Zhu Xiuer screamed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Zeng Feixiong caught her and handed her to his men to hold her steady.
He Chunhua said angrily: "How can this be! The child is innocent, what hatred do you have to hurt the world!"
"The child is innocent?" It was Lu Yao who answered. The man walked out from the back of the house and sneered at him, "It seems that Lord He also knows that this woman is not innocent. Lord He, let me ask you, you and I clearly agreed to live separately, what do you mean by secretly taking my people away?"
He Chunhua's heart sank. As expected, Lu Yao found that Fatty Wang was missing, and then took out his anger on Zhu Xiuer. This bandit leader was too cruel. After finding that he was tricked, he wanted to kill people without saying a word!
"That fat guy was about to attack Zhu, but we stopped him. This happened before the demarcation." He Chunhua raised his head slightly, "You killed her child, so you don't want your men's lives?"
"Why not?" Lu Yao snorted, "Give him back, or I will kill you now!"
"Hey?" He Chunhua suddenly put his hand on the awning and pointed behind him, "What is that?"
"Sir He, don't talk about other things." Lu Yao smiled, what age is this kid playing tricks?
But as soon as the voice fell, a man from not far away screamed "Ah——" full of pain.
At the same time, the sound of breaking air was heard behind Lu Yao.
He did not turn around immediately, but squatted down and turned around, and his right hand produced a huge axe from nowhere and blocked it in front of him.
The axe area of this weapon is almost as big as a short shield. Although it is far less exaggerated than the Mengshan axe that He Lingchuan had seen in his dream, when Lu Yao curled up, the axe could at least block the vital parts of his upper body and knees.
With two "ding ding" sounds, the arrow hit the axe and missed.
Another arrow flew silently from above.
If Lu Yao turned around directly, this arrow would just feed into his throat.
This "pin"-shaped arrow method is a bit familiar... Lu Yao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he shouted: "Stop, I'm Lu Yao! People don't fight each other!"
But at this moment, He Chunhua also shouted: "Rebels! General Lu, quickly capture the rebels!"
More than a dozen officers and soldiers appeared above the houses in the west of the village closest to the dividing line. They lay on the roof, also whizzing arrows, and also showed the attackers their colors.
He Chunhua shouted while holding his head and running back, but his body was shining with a light blue light.
That was the halo of the activation of the Sheji Order.
In an instant, all the officers and soldiers emitted such a light.
The attackers saw this and no longer had any doubts.
In addition to the officials appointed by the royal court, who else can use Yuanli?
As soon as He Chunhua retreated, Zeng Feixiong and others immediately stepped forward to cover him, using their Qi to block several stray arrows.
The crowd slid away quickly, not giving Lu Yao's men time to react, and had already retreated to the back of the house.
Only then did a team rush out of the darkness and poured into Xianling Village like a tide!
There was no star or moon tonight, and there was no light in the wilderness. This team didn't even light a torch.
In addition, the changes in the village attracted everyone's attention, and Lu Yao's sentinels didn't even notice that this team had already arrived in front of the village!
Seeing the man in the front, Lu Yao said sternly: "Wu Shaoyi, are you crazy? How dare you shoot me!" Turning back and pointing to the west of the village, "Your target is there!"
"I'm shooting at you!" Wu Shaoyi laughed, "Brothers, go ahead, kill this treacherous villain!"
He gritted his teeth when he said these four words. In the past, Hong pressed forward, and he couldn't deal with Lu Yao, but the hatred between the two sides became deeper and deeper. In the end, it was more than just hatred. Now seeing him again, hatred and anger rushed straight to his head, and he couldn't stop it!
He was good at using a spear, but because he was attacking on foot, he gave up the long pole on the horse and changed to a short spear. At this time, he didn't say anything and stabbed Lu Yao's eyes, so fast that it left a shadow.
Lu Yao naturally raised his axe and shield to block, but by the third time, he had raised it to his face. The opponent's spear tip lightly touched the edge of the giant axe, bounced, and the spear body bent inward in an arc, bypassing the axe and stabbing him in the eye like a venomous snake!
This is Wu Shaoyi's unique skill. He claims to be a dragon exploring the sea. I don't know how many lives of officers and soldiers he has harvested with it. Fortunately, Lu Yao and he were in the same camp before, and he knew this clearly. At this time, he turned his head sharply and avoided the fate of blindness.
However, the external energy of the spear head was like a needle. Although it did not touch the skin, it still cut a long wound under his eye, deep enough to see the bone.
Lu Yao screamed "Ah" and pulled the shield back.
Wu Shaoyi didn't dare to take it head-on and took two steps back.
Lu Yao was immediately enraged by the beating. Without wiping the blood off his face, he rushed over and swung his axe vertically and horizontally, cursing: "I asked you to come here to join forces with me, I asked you to come here to fight the officers and soldiers with good intentions, but you only know how to fight among yourselves. Have you been chewed by a dog?"
"You ambushed 700 people at Shaozi Rock, was that also a good intention?" Wu Shaoyi was too lazy to say more to him, and just ordered his men, "Kill, kill all of Lu Yao's men!"
Seven hundred people? When Lu Yao heard these words, he was startled and suddenly understood.
Damn, he was fooled by that dog official!
"This is a counter-espionage plot! I'm using those 700 men to ambush the dog official!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Men, take down the dog official!"
When he looked behind Wu Shaoyi, there were more than 200 men, and the Lu family army surrounding him was more than enough to fight three against one, and he was also furious: "Why don't you bring all your troops with you!"
"You ambushed 700 people first, so don't blame me for bringing all my troops!"
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous. The battle between the two generals entered a white-hot stage from the beginning. In just a few words, Lu Yao was injured in the face, with a hole in his cheek and two bloody wounds on his right leg. This was deliberately done by the opponent to slow down his mobility; but his counterattack was very fierce, and Wu Shaoyi didn't get any good results. He had an axe wound on his left arm, which almost cut his tendon, and a heavy shield hit on his chest, breaking at least one rib.
