Chapter 161 Waiting for the Rabbit, a Turmoil Outside the City
With the invasion of the Huangtian Sect, the Yamen military camp and the two remaining Wang and Li families became the main targets of the attack.
The county was in chaos inside and outside.
Faced with such a situation, the county magistrate Du Yuntong and his subordinates had no intention of resisting. They rushed through the chaotic streets, rushed out of the East City Gate, and fled directly.
Everyone was shocked.
The many guards who had the intention of resisting looked at the county magistrate Du Yuntong and others who had already fled, and immediately lost their morale and surrendered on the spot.
Taiping County soon fell one by one.
In the inner city, flames soared into the sky, the air was filled with thick smoke and blood, and people's cries and desperate calls for help came one after another.
Shen Qing's face became more and more serious, and he kept swinging the whip and hitting Zhuifeng's fleshy buttocks.
He saw that the progress of the skill of [Riding] on the ink panel in his sight was jumping bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The horse Zhuifeng seemed to sense Shen Qing's urgency and determination, and its four hooves were full of wind, forcing a path in the chaos.
When they arrived at the East Gate, Shen Qing suddenly squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse Zhuifeng rushed out of the gate like a wild horse, leaving the chaos and despair behind.
In one breath, after running one or two miles in a row until they were far away from the chaos, Shen Qing slowly pulled the reins to let the horse breathe.
He couldn't help but look back in the direction of Taiping County.
At this moment, Taiping County seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze. The sky was no longer the usual blue light, but turned into a heart-pounding earthy yellow.
The yellow light seemed to float from the far southwest, layer upon layer, with a depressing atmosphere.
The yellow light continued to spread, and some of the edges had extended to Shen Qing's head.
Shen Qing stared at the county covered by the yellow light, and his heart sank suddenly.
This was obviously not a martial arts method, but closer to the Tao.
Huang Tian Cult might be stronger than he thought.
Shen Qing took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, patted Zhui Feng's neck, and signaled it to keep going.
Now he had to catch up with his master and aunt as soon as possible.
"Go!"
The horse Zhui Feng raised his head, neighed loudly, stepped on his four hooves, and galloped away again.
...
On the official road ahead, considering that Shen Qing was looking for someone, Li Linfeng and his uncle Shen Er and nearly 20 other people drove slowly.
Tian Xiaohu, who was driving the carriage, looked back at the official road behind him from time to time, and seemed to be worried.
By now, Taiping County was no longer visible, but after seeing the sky over Taiping County turned yellow, his face suddenly became ugly.
Something happened in Taiping County.
On the way, he had heard that Huang Tian Cult was attacking the county, and he was scared.
He knew in his heart that with his meager ability, it was simply wishful thinking to want to live well in such a chaotic situation.
Fortunately, he made the right choice again.
Boom boom.
Thunder suddenly sounded in the clear sky, surprising everyone in the caravan and looking up.
The sun was still hanging high, and the golden light penetrated the sparse clouds, interweaving with the silver lightning that flashed from time to time, forming a bizarre picture.
The eldest sister Shen Fang, who was sitting in the carriage, was startled by the thunder. She gently lifted the curtain on the carriage and stuck her head out.
Facing this strange weather, the eldest sister Shen Fang's face was filled with worry. She asked Xiao Zhi and Tian Xiaohu: "Has Qingzi come back?"
Tian Xiaohu looked back and looked along the official road for a few more times, shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it yet, it should be soon."
"Huh..."
The caravan of Li Linfeng and others in front suddenly stopped, causing Tian Xiaohu, who was distracted, to pull the reins in a hurry.
The horse immediately stopped its hoof to avoid colliding with the front.
Under this inertia, the elder sister Shen Fang, who was kneeling and stretching her head, fell forward under the action of inertia. If Xiao Zhi had not been quick-witted and quickly supported her, Shen Fang would have fallen off the carriage.
"Why did the front suddenly stop?" Tian Xiaohu handed the reins to Xiao Zhi and said, "Don't move, I'll go to the front and take a look."
Tian Xiaohu trotted and walked towards the front of the caravan.
As he walked forward, the bloody smell in the air became thicker.
At the front of Li Linfeng's caravan, figures flashed. When Tian Xiaohu arrived, the front had been surrounded by Li Linfeng and others.
Tian Xiaohu squeezed over, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was stunned, and a wave of fear kept crawling on his face.
There were corpses lying in front of them, with distorted faces, some heads tilted to one side, and empty eye sockets staring straight at the sky, while others clenched their hands into fists, with fingertips deeply embedded in the mud.
Most of them had holes on their bodies, as if they were shot through by arrows.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and rust.
This is not important, what is important is the clothes these people are wearing, they are all from the Weiwu Division!
Clatter.
Suddenly, in the shadows of the bushes on both sides of the rear of the convoy, there were bursts of footsteps and the friction of iron sheets.
One by one, the followers dressed in Huangtian Sect came out of the bushes.
They held heavy crossbows and pointed at Li Linfeng and his group, shocking everyone in the convoy.
Among these Huangtian Sect followers, a seven-foot-tall man walked out, and the surrounding Huangtian Sect followers automatically made way.
This person has a high status in Huangtian Sect.
Uncles and aunts who had not seen much of the world were frightened and hurriedly gathered with Li Linfeng and others.
Li Linfeng realized that he might be in big trouble today, so he walked over quickly and said to the leading man with both hands: "My dear man, we are just ordinary people passing by here. I hope you can show mercy."
The leading strong man looked Li Linfeng up and down, and said with unexpected joy on his face: "General Qu asked us to wait here to prevent those corrupt officials from escaping and ruining our big plan. I didn't expect that you fat sheep would come first."
Li Linfeng was startled.
It seems that these people are unwilling to let them go today.
He was about to speak up to defend himself, intending to spend money to avoid disaster, when he suddenly saw someone from the other side running over quickly and shouting: "General, the dog officials in the city are rushing towards us with a large group of subordinates. What should we do?"
The strong man showed some dissatisfaction on his face, and said without thinking: "Hurry up and let the brothers and sisters prepare to kill those Ji family running dogs."
"What about them?"
"Kill them first!"
"General, it's too late. The officials of Taiping County are all riding fast horses, and they will be here in a moment."
The bearded strong man glanced at Li Linfeng and others, and cursed inwardly: "You are lucky. Arrange a few brothers to keep an eye on them, and the rest of you will prepare to ambush those dog officials with me. Don't let anyone go today."
"Yes."
The thirty or forty Huangtian sect members who surrounded the convoy were well-trained and quickly turned the direction of the heavy crossbows and ran to the front to ambush.
Da Da Da...
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
As soon as these people were ambushed, the county magistrate Du Yuntong led Wang Yanjun and others into the ambush of Huangtian Sect.
"kill!"
