Chapter 457

"Huh~ What is this?" The man looked up and looked at the sky for a few times, then curiously picked up the stick and looked through it. Then he was curious about the smokey place, so he came to the fire to see it more clearly.

"Boom~~~"

Just as he approached the fire, the wooden stick in the man's hand exploded, and the terrifying explosion directly blew a lot of flames all over the sky. The red charcoal wood splashed around like a meteor, and there were steel marbles mixed in it and shot out from all directions.

At the moment of the explosion, the guy who picked up the grenades' head was blown to pieces, and he died without any sound. The more than ten people sitting around the fire did not react at all. Especially the few men who wanted to come and watch were also blown up directly. The other men also let out a shrill scream like lightning strike and fell out. The steel marbles pounced through the flesh and flew into a bunch of blood.

Flames, severing limbs, flesh and blood, rolling and howling, and the front of the cave instantly fell into a tragic sea of ​​fire.

And the sound of thunder like dark night rolled out, resounding in the quiet Funiu Mountain, and countless beasts roared and ran around everywhere.

"Out~" Bai Zhen stood up and yelled, pulled out the steel sword behind him and kicked open the gate of the village and rushed in.

Chen Xu was naturally not willing to fall behind, so he grabbed the pistol placed in front of him and rushed up. Shui Qingrou's body was like a willow leaf, holding a short sword in his hand and followed him lightly.

"Kill~~" The imperial guards behind the three of them also roared like evil wolves, rushing through the village gate one by one. The light crossbow in their hands had already opened, and anyone who saw that they were still rolling on the ground and didn't die was just an arrow.

"What happened?" A group of people rushed out in panic, but they saw flames all over the ground and fierce soldiers roaring through the flames.

"Qin Army!?"

After a brief moment of daze, countless panic screams were heard. The people who rushed out scattered in panic. Some went back to the cave to run, some ran to both sides of the cliff, and some continued to be stunned.

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff~" In the gloomy and dark twilight, crossbow arrows tear the air and shot towards the cave. With the screams, several people fell to the ground and rolled and howled in pain.

"The Qin army is here, run away quickly!"

Although this was a group of left-behind military soldiers from the Six Kingdoms and were once butchers who fought on the battlefield, after hiding in the mountains for several years and experiencing the battle with the Qin army, the fierceness of the Qin army had already left an indelible terrifying impression in their minds. Therefore, they suddenly found that the Qin army soldiers wearing black armor and holding bows and crossbows were not rebelling but escaping. Therefore, this shrill roar directly caused the entire cave to panic.

"Kill in~ No one left!" Bai Zhen roared, his eyes red with excitement. The big sword in his hand cut over the two escaping bandits and rushed in without hesitation.

"Kill~~"

Immediately following, all the imperial guards followed fiercely into the cave.

The sudden arrival of the Qin army was something that the bandits never expected. Therefore, the entire cave could no longer be described as panic, but was completely in chaos. Hundreds of people fled around like headless flies. Although they were brave and sober to get weapons to fight, how could there be a sufficiently prepared imperial guards? Therefore, these people hurriedly got the weapons and were shot directly through the back by crossbow arrows and fell down, and other people who were running and shouting could not escape the massacre.

Less than ten minutes before and after, the battle has come to an end.

"Stop, leave a few survivors!" Chen Xu looked around the cave with his pistol and found that he had not seen Yu Wuya's shadow except for the bandits who were wailing around and rolling around, so he quickly asked Bai Zhen and the imperial guard to stop.

"Stop it~" Bai Zhen also came back from the rise of killing and quickly ordered his men to stop the massacre. However, at this time, the entire cave was filled with a strong smell of blood from the inside to the outside, with dead people and blood everywhere, and the sound of wailing and crying was endless.

The remaining seven or eight men were forced to the corner of the wall by a group of imperial guards, squatting on the ground, and they were so scared that they were trembling all over.

In addition to hundreds of men, there are dozens of women, young and old, among which several pregnant women with big belly and more than a dozen children. The older one is five or six years old, the younger one is only a few months old, and the others are still held in their arms.

"Tell me, where did you get a young man in black half a month ago?" Chen Xu kicked a middle-aged man who looked pretty well to the ground.

"If you don't say it, you will die!" Bai Zhen directly placed the big sword on the man's shoulder.

"Grand... Sir... Give up... Say life... That... black... man in black is locked up... locked up there!" The man stuttered and pointed to a row of wooden fences on the side of the cave.

Chen Xu turned around and walked over, and Shui Qingrou and Bai Zhen quickly followed.

This is a natural cave. It looks like a cracked mouth outside, but the space inside is huge, with several acres of area. Moreover, many small houses were built with rough wood and stone on the wall. It seems that they live in the usual place of these bandits. At this time, the people inside were either killed by the imperial guards or driven out. They were so scared that they lay on the ground and dared not move.

Chen Xu walked to the fence at the edge, but there was nothing black inside, and he could only smell a stinking of feces, urine and feces. Several imperial guards lit torches and opened the door of the fence. There were actually a few pigs inside, which was obviously a pigpen. In the corner of the pigpen, there was indeed a person tied up, and his clothes were dirty and stinky.

"Brother Yu!" Chen Xu could tell at a glance that this person was Yu Wuya. He rushed over and picked him up, and found that he was still tied to the railings of the fence with thick copper shackles on his hands, feet, and neck.

"My benefactor?" The man, who was covered in pig manure, opened his eyes and let out a cry of surprise when he was dying.

Huh! Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Wuya was smelly at this time, but he could still speak and it didn't seem to be a big deal.

"Go and find the key!" Chen Xu yelled.

Soon several soldiers found two bronze keys, opened the copper shackles, and several people worked together to carry Yu Wuya out of the pigpen.

"Senior Brother~" Looking at Yu Wuya, who was dirty and smelly all over, he could hardly see his true face. Shui Qingrou burst into tears, and she could no longer help crying sadly in her heart.

"Hey, the junior sister is here too. Sorry, senior brother almost couldn't see you marry your benefactor!" Yu Wuya was even more surprised. He struggled for a few times to stand up, but he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Don't cry, don't cry... Go and get some water, I'm going to take a shower, it's too smelly... Wuya swears... I won't eat pork again in my life... Puff..." Yu Wuya said intermittently, then opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma.

Two hours later, it was already late at night, the mountain wind was clear and cold, the sky was like a painting, and under the sky with a few stars, the dark mountains and steep mountains were like beasts dormant without any sound.

The cave has returned to its usual tranquility.

All the bodies were carried to the open space outside and piled up randomly. Several fires rose in the cave. Several pigs in the pigpen had been dragged out to kill them. The soldiers who had experienced a battle all surrounded the fire and barbecued meat to eat. The women and children in the cave were all scared to hide in the corner and shivered. The remaining living mouths were tied up and thrown to the ground.

Yu Wuya washed it several times with clean water, changed into a clean clothes of a bandit, and after drinking a bowl of porridge, he fell asleep. Water Qingrang stood beside him and kept crying, and his beautiful eyes were crying red and swollen.

The two practiced in Lushan since childhood and grew up together. Although they did not have the kind of feelings between men and women, no one could change the relationship between them, and Chen Xu also understood this pain that was almost separated by yin and yang.

Chen Xu naturally cared and angry about Yu Wuya's experience.

Yu Wuya is very weak now, very weak. It was almost the weakest time Chen Xu had since seen Yu Wuya. He was like a useless man, without any strength to speak. After cleaning it, he found that his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were covered with dry blood. His breathing was almost at a chaotic point, which was almost at a point where the oil was exhausted, which seemed countless times more dangerous than the time he was rescued by Chen Xu for the first time.

That time, Yu Wuya was severely injured by the Mo Bird, and his blood almost dried up. However, after the wound was sutured, he recovered his vitality after only one night. However, two hours have passed and the situation has not improved at all.

Fortunately, it came in time. If it was one or two days later, Chen Xu would not dare to imagine Yu Wuya's fate.

"Tell me, how did you catch my brother?" At this time, I stopped cleaning up and after eating some food, Chen Xu began to interrogate several prisoners.

Bai Zhen and a circle of imperial guards holding big swords and bows were eyeing each other. Several prisoners were so scared that they were all sieve. The bandit in a civilian dress was still stutteringly: "Sir, please spare me. Your brother was captured by Mr. Ran and Princess Wei half a month ago!"

"Who is Mr. Ran?"

"Mr. Ran...Mr. Ran's name is Ran Chi..."

"Ran Chi?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, "Is it the copper and iron merchant in Wancheng?"

"Yes, yes!" Several bandits nodded together.

Chen Xu immediately understood that in March last year, Ran Chi-kun led people to attack the emperor's headquarters in Wancheng. After his failure, he might have brought people to hide in the Funiu Mountain.

"Who is that Princess Wei?" Chen Xu asked again.

"The Princess of Wei is named Gongsun Beiyan, and he is a descendant of Gongsun Yan!"

"It turned out to be her? How could he stir up with Ran Chiang?" Chen Xu was puzzled, but he also realized it in an instant. Whether it was Ran Chiang or Gongsun Beiyan, the purpose was to overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty. It is not surprising that he can mix it up with the same goal. Maybe the princes and nobles and rebel forces in the six kingdoms were more or less open or secretly connected.
