"Brothers, open the door to meet the enemy!"

Although the woman still hasn't explained clearly what happened, from the various details about the woman, Wu Liangliang already had a rough guess, and he knew that what happened tonight would be difficult to solve.

And no matter what happens tonight, I'm afraid it's not because of this woman.

Otherwise, the actions of these villagers could not be unified so quickly, as if they had been discussed before. Even if there were no military-like orders and prohibitions, it was obviously organized.

"?!"

After hearing Wu Liang's order, the woman was filled with despair and suspicion.

Because this is definitely not the reaction that ordinary people should have. Ordinary people would probably panic when encountering this incident. It is a normal reaction to guard the door. How could they specifically order someone to open the courtyard door to face the enemy head-on?

After all, there are more than a hundred families in this village, and there are hundreds of people including young and old together.

Although most of Wu Liang's people are young and middle-aged, the total number is only more than thirty. Faced with the siege of so many people, they will definitely be unable to cope...

Just when I was thinking about it.

"Bang!"

Two soldiers of the Hu army had already rushed forward and vigorously opened the two weak courtyard doors.

And the rest of the soldiers of the Hu army had something in their hands that the woman had never seen before. If they didn't have something more like a weapon on their body, it seemed to be the wooden-handled shovel pinned behind their backs.

Even so, the shape of the shovel is rare.

"Don't tell them to run away!"

"Hurry! Anyone who wants to eat meat, hurry up and follow us!"

"Woof woof... woof woof..."

"..."

The fire outside the courtyard gate is getting closer and closer, and the shouts of people and the barking of dogs are mixed together, making this small village that should be peaceful and quiet extremely noisy.

In the increasingly brighter firelight, a group of villagers holding torches, sticks and farm tools had surrounded the courtyard where Wu Liang was.

Wu Liang could only see the villagers facing the courtyard gate.

Among them were men and women, old and young. The youngest looked like he was only seven or eight years old. That should have been an innocent age, but at this moment Wu Liang could not see the slightest trace of childishness on the faces of these children.

They should be innocent, but on the contrary, their faces under the firelight look more ferocious, more excited, and more eager to try than those of adults.

Human nature is inherently evil.

The younger the child, the stronger the destructive desire, the more cruel the methods, and the more things that cannot be done in the heart. Only those who have been educated will be willing to put on the shackles, abide by the rules, and become a "good person" in a narrow sense.

On the contrary, it is the cruelest piranha.

"Cheer up and tell me what happened. It's related to how I will deal with them next, and it is also related to whether I am willing to help you. To make a long story short."

The villagers outside were still gathering, and Wu Liang slowly helped the woman who collapsed on the ground.

Perhaps Wu Liang gained a sense of security from Wu Liang's calm and steady state. After being helped up, the woman finally did not collapse anymore. She just looked at the villagers outside the yard in horror and said in a trembling voice: "One...

A year ago, Junzi and his family wanted to go to Qingzhou to join relatives and friends. We stayed here for the night. That night, the twenty-three members of our family, except me, were all slaughtered as livestock by them, and all our property was robbed by them... Although I barely survived.

He survived, but he might as well have died. The child was forced to give birth to him..."

"Jingjing, please take her into the house to rest first."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang fully understood the whole story, and then turned back and said to Bai Jingjing.

"Um."

Bai Jingjing responded and stepped forward to support him.

Wu Liangze patted Yang Wanli on the shoulder again and said, "Don't rush into action yet. I'll make a decision after I negotiate with them."

It was a matter of human life. Naturally, Wu Liang would not just listen to one family's words. He also had to see the defendant's reaction to verify the authenticity of the matter.

But judging from the current situation, ninety-nine percent of what the woman said is true.

finally.

When the villagers outside had almost gathered, the old man whom he had seen in the afternoon slowly walked out from behind the crowd, stood outside the door and looked at Wu Liang in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, sir, we are not here."

For other reasons, it’s just that a mad wife was lost in the village and someone saw her walking into this courtyard. I wonder if the young master has ever seen her?"

"I've seen her. She is in the room right now. She seems to be quite frightened."

Wu Liangda admitted openly, "I just wanted to know where the girl came from, but I couldn't find out clearly after asking for a long time. Since she is the daughter-in-law of the village, I will send her out now."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid things won't be so simple."

The old man's eyes turned slightly cold after hearing this, and he continued, "In the middle of the night, our village's daughter-in-law appeared in the young master's room. I'm afraid it won't sound good if I tell it, and I won't be able to explain it to the villagers."

This is clearly just looking for trouble, just like the excuse given by an invading army for missing soldiers.

"I'm afraid the old gentleman has misunderstood. If anyone saw that woman come to my place, they should know that she only lasted for a cup of tea from the time she came in. How could anything bad happen in such a short period of time?

"

Wu Liangdao.

"That's not easy to say."

The old man's unyielding way.

When Wu Liang heard this, he felt a little regretful that he had said this in vain, as if he had personally handed the message to the other party to mock him.

However, at this point, Wu Liangliang was fully aware of it, but he still asked without changing his expression: "What does the old gentleman want?"

"It's not what the old man wants, but we kindly taught the young master to stay overnight, but the young master betrayed our trust by doing this. We have to wonder what the young master had in mind when he came to our village."

The old man also smiled and said, "Now that the matter has come to this, the young master can only prove his innocence by surrendering his hands and letting us search his belongings. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win the trust of others."

"That's right!"

"You know people but not their hearts. If you are willing to surrender, then we can trust you!"

"Don't force us to use force!"

"Woof woof... woof woof..."

Hundreds of villagers outside the hospital obviously had a tacit understanding with the old man. After hearing what he said, they immediately shouted loudly to strengthen his momentum and put pressure on Wu Liang.

It was at this time.

There was only a "bang" sound, and the woman who had just been helped into the house by Bai Jingjing not long ago suddenly pushed the door open and rushed out. She repeatedly advised Wu Liang: "Young Master, you must not be captured without mercy. I and the gentleman's family

Even after being deceived by them, once the young master is kidnapped by them, they will immediately change their appearance, and then the young master will become incapacitated every day and on earth!"

"Sir, you don't believe this crazy woman's nonsense, do you?"

The old man didn't take the woman seriously at all, he still looked at Wu Liang and smiled.

"Old sir, what if I don't want to accept your arrangement?"

Wu Liang asked blankly.

"If the young master insists on toasting and not eating, then don't blame us for being unkind... Ugh!"

Before the old man finished speaking, he suddenly let out a muffled groan and unconsciously raised his hands to cover his chest.

The villagers still didn't understand what happened.

After a while, he saw that the old man was unsteady and about to fall to the ground. A young man next to him called out "Dad" and hurriedly supported him, only to find that at some point, an arrow had been inserted into the old man's chest, and this feather

The arrow was so powerful that it not only hit the old man's chest, but also penetrated him directly, so that only a small section of arrow feathers could be seen on his chest.

"this?!"

Until now, the villagers still had not realized what happened, and their faces were full of surprise. After all, they had never experienced any military training, and they had never seen such a powerful weapon.

And on the other side.

"You boy, you're pretty accurate at shooting. You've been practicing a lot in private recently, right?"

Yu Ji patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder appreciatively.

While Zhuge Liang was loading up the small three-bow bed crossbow in front of him that he had previously shown to Boss Cao as a display model, he said quite complacently: "I often go on expeditions with my talented brother, so I have to master some means of self-defense. Otherwise, if I encounter him,

When something happens, I will hold back my talented brother."

at the same time.

"kill!"

Wu Liang gave an order, and twenty soldiers of the Hu army, led by Dian Wei and Yang Wanli, had already rushed out of the courtyard.

Dian Wei took the lead. A pair of halberds made the tigers angry. He turned into a human meat grinder and rushed into the enemy formation like a berserker. For a while, minced meat and limbs were flying everywhere. Only those who had not reacted could be heard.

The villagers howled like ghosts and wolves.

Yang Wanli and the soldiers of the Hu army were holding Warring States repeating crossbows and followed closely in a collision formation that could take care of each other. If viewed from above, the soldiers of the Hu army in tight formation were like a wheat harvester.

The machine passed by, and the villagers fell in pieces like ripe wheat.

Even Yang Wanli specially designed a sharper formation for the soldiers because of the Warring States Repeating Crossbow.

Now the soldiers of the Hu army were divided into two rows, front and rear. The front row shot while marching. When the iron arrows in the quiver were used up, the soldiers in the back row immediately changed positions with them, and the soldiers in the front row could go to the back row to reload the quiver.
