The head of the squad had an extremely ugly face and a dark look in his eyes. The incident happened suddenly, and many victims had already fallen from the high wall. At this moment, the government office was in chaos. The county magistrate, who heard the noise, didn't care about his new concubine and put on clothes randomly, and shouted to protect the master.
Unfortunately, except for a few guards who were responsible for his safety, the other guards in the mansion were fighting with the victims, and they were powerless even if they wanted to. What's worse is that the gate was broken, and more victims rushed in. At this time, the government office was in chaos.
The ladies, young ladies, young men and many female relatives in the mansion were also frightened by the sudden change. They were blocked by the victims who rushed in before they had time to put on their clothes.
"Master, help!" The county magistrate's wife screamed throughout the government office.
On the other side, several black knights rode their horses quickly through the night, galloping in the direction of Lijia Village. By the time the city guards got the news and rushed to support, the victims who broke into the city had already left, leaving only a mess.
The entire city suffered more than a hundred casualties, including victims and night patrols. The worst was the county government, where the county magistrate's family, except for the children, all died miserably. Looking at the miserable death of the county magistrate's family, Guo Xian, the highest commander of the city guards in the city, frowned.
He had felt that the county magistrate's decision on the victims was inhumane before, and he had made suggestions many times considering the safety issues in the city. Unfortunately, the county magistrate did not take it seriously, and something went wrong.
Now the situation is very tricky, and I am afraid that his career as the commander of the city guards is over. Thinking of this, Guo Xian couldn't help but blame the dead county magistrate.
Fortunately, this group of victims, in addition to attacking the government office and the shops on both sides of the street, did not affect the surrounding people. This is a blessing in disguise. It is impossible to conceal such a big thing, so it can only be reported. Guo Xian quickly recovered from the shock and issued a series of orders to protect the scene and chase the fleeing victims as quickly as possible.
Someone has to be responsible. He has no way to bear such a big responsibility and can't bear it. Guo Xian didn't think about catching all the victims. There are only a few hundred city guards in total. It is impossible to catch them all. Whether they can escape depends on their luck. The victims are pitiful, but such a big thing has happened. There is nothing you can do about it.
...
On the river bank, Gulan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and then she put on her clothes and walked out of the carriage, looking behind through the moonlight.
There was a clear sound of horse hooves. The few young men in charge of night watch obviously noticed the movement, stood up and looked in the direction of the sound like Gulan.
Gulan jumped off the carriage, a dagger appeared in hier hand, scolded Dahei who wanted to follow, and told him to protect her son. Gulan walked to the side of the road. The sound of horse hooves in the middle of the night, and it was very rapid, a bit unusual, Gulan had to think more.
... I hope it's just passing by.
But obviously her wish was going to be disappointed. In the moonlight, several tall horses rushed directly towards them and then stopped.
At that time, the night watchmen also felt something was wrong. While rushing to the roadside, one of them fiercely struck the gong in his hand. In the silent night, the sound was like thunder, instantly waking up the sleeping people of Lijia Village.
In the night, several people on horseback looked down at them with contempt, with predatory light in their eyes, and jumped off the horse with weapons in hand.
With just one glance, Gulan revealed a trace of a sneer. These people...
Apart from knowing how to cover up their ugliness, they were even too lazy to change their uniforms and weapons. Gulan had very good eyesight and could tell at a glance that these were the soldiers guarding the city of Chicheng. This was calculated that they would not dare to do anything!
They were obviously the guards of the city gate, but they chased up in the dark and did the work of robbers. Based on this, Gulan could conclude how corrupt this country is now. If it weren't for the tacit approval of the officials, these low-level soldiers would not dare to do such a life-threatening thing even if they were given a few more courage.
Whether it was the Jin State in the original body's memory or what Gulan was experiencing now, she had lost confidence in this country.
No wonder the fairy (real body owner) in the mist took the trouble to bring her from her world to this world.
The masked man who jumped off the horse looked at Gulan and the others with contempt, as if the people in front of him could be easily crushed to death like ants, and ignored the sound of the gong, which just saved them the effort.
"There are a few smart people. It's better if they are awake. If you don't want to lose your life, let all of you hand over all the money and property on your body. Maybe we will not embarrass you if we are in a good mood. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." One of the masked men spoke arrogantly, looking at Gulan and the others as if they were rotten fish and shrimp.
The village chief, who was anxiously rushing over with his son, happened to hear this speech. He thought to himself that it was bad, and he encountered robbers again.
"Uncle, we are just refugees who have fled from famine. We don't even have food to eat. We really don't have anything valuable on us!" Village chief Li was very humble, with a bitter face and a courageous bow. Although he knew that what he said was equivalent to not saying anything, Village chief Li still wanted to try.
At the same time, the young and strong men in Lijia Village spontaneously divided into two parts, one to protect the old and weak in Lijia Village, and the other to gather behind the village chief.
Li Da and Li Er stood with Gulan holding weapons, looking solemn. These people were wearing black clothes and masks, and they all looked well-trained. They were not good people!
"So you are going to give up the opportunity, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
"What nonsense?" Gulan sneered and kicked the person who was talking. The speed was so fast that the person flew out when everyone reacted.
"Village chief, step back." Li Da looked at Li Youzhi, and he and his second brother waved their knives to chop at the other masked man. Others also rushed forward, unconsciously using the boxing and body shape they had learned from Gulan these days.
Things happened too quickly, and the masked man was confused for a moment. Why did the development of things turn out to be completely different from what they expected? Shouldn't these lingering victims kneel down and beg for mercy, and quickly take out all the valuables? Why is the reaction so different from the victims at the city gate?
But at this time, they didn't care about thinking too much, and they all drew their swords and rushed forward. The eight of them didn't believe that they couldn't deal with these lowly farmers who were farming in the countryside.
But it's obviously out of control.
After kicking one person away, Gulan rushed directly to the masked man in the middle who seemed to be the leader. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. If you deal with this person first, it will be easier for others. This person was the first to come to his senses when the incident happened. At that moment, he felt a gust of fierce fist wind rushing towards his face. He didn't even have time to pull out his weapon and instinctively leaned back to avoid it. His reaction ability was not bad. He avoided her first attack. If it weren't for the treasure clothes and her current physical fitness, Gulan might have to struggle a few more times to take him down.
But now... Gulan's mouth curled up. She didn't plan to let all the masked people who came here today leave, otherwise these people would leave trouble after returning to the city.
At the moment the masked man avoided, she stepped on him fiercely, and at the same time a cold light flashed. The masked man felt a cool and warm touch on his neck. He wanted to call for help, but he could only hold his neck tightly and couldn't make any sound.
