Chapter 44 The old thief gives the head

Seeing Wu Xianwei riding into the woods, Liu He gave Ye Xiang a hint. Ye Xiang understood and quietly drew an arrow and put it on his bow.

Ye Xiang's archery skills were tested by Liu He and others, but they were not considered to be sophisticated and not very powerful. The shooting distance was not as good as the strong bows used by Liu He and others, but the accuracy was much higher than that of a few others.

Several people were in ambush, not far away, but wanted to hit with one hit, so it was most appropriate for him to take action.

"One hundred steps...eighty steps...seventy steps...sixty steps...fifty steps...forty steps..."

Ye Xiang bent his bow and nocked an arrow, staring at Lieutenant Wu, waiting until he rode on horseback to a place only thirty steps away from him, and then shot an arrow!

"Boom!" There was only a crisp sound of the bowstring, and the arrow shot out like a shooting star.

Wu Xianwei was originally a martial arts practitioner, but he had been addicted to drinking, sex and gambling in the past few years, and his martial arts had long been abandoned. At this time, he was thinking about the property of the Zhu family. How could he guard against this sudden hidden arrow? He was hit by an arrow.

Chest!

"Ah!" Lieutenant Wu Xian fell off his horse, and the excitement on his face turned into pain.

The housekeeper who was chasing after him was shocked when he saw this and ran up quickly.

"My lord! My lord! There are assassins! Protect your lord!"

"I...I...you..."

Wu County Lieutenant's eyes were full of unwillingness, and he stretched out his right hand to grab it randomly in the air, but in the end he couldn't lift it up in one breath. He tilted his head and died.

"Kill! Hand over your property!"

The masked Liu He and the other two people rushed out, deliberately pretending to sound hoarse and fierce, and yelled viciously.

When the butler saw that it was someone from the Three Tribulation Dao, the original fear in his heart turned into anger!

"The bold robbers dare to attack the imperial officials! Kill them!"

The dozen or so servants thought that their old master was dead, and their behavior at this time was directly related to the new master's attitude towards themselves and others, so they all rushed forward to kill them.

And those county soldiers had long-standing grudges against Wu County Captain, and the county captain was about to be replaced, so most of the county soldiers were just showing off, especially Ke Heng. Seeing that things suddenly changed, he only thought about it.

How to escape, how to really risk your life?

These fifteen servants are quite skilled, and they use long swords uniformly. They are still much better than those bandits who have not received much training, but how can they be the opponents of Liu He and others?

Ye Xiang was behind, while Liu He and Cheng Liang charged forward, killing fifteen servants in a few strokes.

When the county soldiers saw how brave the opponent was, they did not dare to move forward and instead retreated back.

"How dare you retreat! If you disobey military orders, aren't you afraid of military law?"

The housekeeper cursed in surprise and anger. Unexpectedly, those county soldiers did not accept this trick at all, and even contradicted him.

"Hmph, this guy named Wu doesn't treat us as human beings at all. If it weren't for the sake of supporting his family, I would have given up my job long ago! This bastard is constantly deducting everyone's salary. Now he still expects us to work hard for him?"

After hearing this, the housekeeper was so angry that he almost vomited blood and wanted to continue to argue.

"you……"

Before he could say anything, an arrow shot through his throat. The butler's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.

The county soldiers were all very nervous, and their hands holding the guns were trembling.

They knew that with the martial arts of these three people, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed. Under Wu County Lieutenant, a lazy and lazy boss, how could they not be nervous as they had never experienced a real fight.

"Humph! Now that you've seen it, I can't keep you here!"

Liu He deliberately said in a fierce tone, swung his axe, and rushed forward with Cheng Liang.

Just when the county soldiers thought they and others were going to die, there was a sudden loud shout!

"Where did the thief come from, dare to commit murder under my eyes, Zhu Ye!"

Zhu Ye, Guan Yu and Zhang Yong who were behind the small slope all rushed out at this time.

When Liu He and the other three saw it, they also went up to greet him.

The two sides pretended to fight for a long time, but because Ye Xiang was an archer and not good at close combat, they fell behind after dozens of rounds. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu He quickly grabbed Ye Xiang and Cheng Liang and fled up the mountain.

This "fight" was so good that the county soldiers, who were still in a nervous mood, couldn't tell any clues. They were just glad that God had favored them and they met a noble person and could escape the disaster.

After Zhu Ye and the others "beat away" the gangsters, they also walked over and suddenly started "screaming".

"Ah, Uncle Wu!"

When Zhu Ye saw Wu County Lieutenant lying in a pool of blood, he was shocked and quickly ran up to pick up the body.

"Uncle Wu, how could this happen? Oh, these thieves are so abominable! I must find them, crush their bones and ashes, and avenge you!"

Zhu Ye was crying like this, but he almost couldn't help laughing. If anyone could see his face at this time, they would find that Zhu Ye was so happy that his expression was distorted.

Ke Heng noticed that Zhu Ye was coming, and his legs immediately began to tremble. When he was about to escape, he found that Guan Yu had appeared behind him at some point, and he suddenly felt desperate!

These county soldiers had not heard at all about the disaster in the Zhu Mansion the day before, but Wu County Lieutenant was once a subordinate of the old Zhu County Lieutenant. Many people knew this, so everyone believed that Zhu Ye was true.

Grief.

After Zhu Ye finished pretending to "cry", he came over and asked these county soldiers what happened before.

Although these county soldiers had no favorable impression of Wu County Lieutenant and the housekeeper, and even hated them deeply, Zhu Ye and the others had "saved" their lives after all, so they did not dare to hide it and told them everything.

"Damn it! Sooner or later, I, Zhu Ye, will destroy all the robbers on the Taihang Mountains!"

While speaking, Zhu Ye raised his hammers and hit a thigh-thick tree next to him. The tree broke immediately and fell to the ground, making many county soldiers look shocked.

His words were equivalent to characterizing this "accident" as the work of robbers. Those county soldiers were still a little confused at first, but at this time, they were instilled with this concept unconsciously. No one felt that this was the case.

Explain what is wrong.

Zhu Ye looked at Wu County Lieutenant's corpse and said: "Since you are county soldiers under Wu County Lieutenant, please carry these corpses back to the city and ask the county magistrate to deal with them."

These county soldiers were somewhat reluctant to let them carry these corpses, but no matter how reluctant they were, they had nothing to do. If they were left here like this, they would definitely be punished when they returned.

More than thirty people, working in groups of two, carried the bodies of Wu County Lieutenant, the old housekeeper and the fifteen servants, and walked back towards the county seat.
