Chapter 431 Attacked
winter night.
The wind was howling.
A bit scary.
The shadowy figure darted about, startling several old women who were washing and cleaning, causing them to roll their eyes in fright.
Many times, people are more terrifying than ghosts.
The man in black originally planned to lie in ambush and make his move when it was late at night.
Then suddenly a foolish guard jumped out, drew his sword, and charged at them.
He kept shouting: "There's an assassin..."
And he has a loud voice.
The incident alarmed everyone in the mansion, and even the dogs of the entire city of Cangzhou.
The dogs were barking loudly.
Just as one left, two more women appeared, even more robust than the average woman from Daliang.
The first thing the woman did after she came out was to jump onto the roof and have the guards of the mansion surround them.
The square-faced woman stood on the rooftop shouting: "The northern barbarians have launched a night attack on the general's mansion! A reward of fifty taels of silver and ten bushels of millet will be given for each one captured..."
The two women spoke even louder, like loudspeakers.
Before long, it alerted the neighbors on both sides.
One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.
In an instant, the entire city of Cangzhou was abuzz with excitement.
Under the reward, there must be a brave man.
Moreover, the people hated the northern barbarians to the core, and upon hearing that the northern barbarians actually...
The people grabbed swords, harpoons, axes...
In short, they grabbed all the weapons they could find and rushed toward the general's mansion.
Layer upon layer, three layers inside and three layers outside, not a single fly will be allowed to escape.
Yu Qi was dumbfounded.
What's with this move by Madam Lu? I thought she was fighting alone.
Unexpectedly, this mobilized the entire population of Cangzhou in an instant.
It was still the middle of the night.
She truly is a daughter of a military family; she is capable of fighting against a thousand soldiers.
He felt much more at ease then and escaped with Mu Yunji amidst the chaos.
I've finally done right by the young master.
Xiuxiu had never seen such a battle before and was a little worried: "Sister, the people are all unarmed. Can they really defeat these northern barbarians?"
I hope they won't just throw their lives away for nothing.
She had just fought with the men in black.
They didn't look like ordinary northern barbarians at all; they were trained assassins, death squads.
When ordinary people confront them, they will either die or be injured.
However, she seemed to be mistaken.
These people were not entirely without skills; both men and women seemed to possess some martial arts abilities.
The key is that there are many of them.
It was like a swarm of ants rushing towards the man in black.
Faced with overwhelming numbers, even the most ruthless assassins were terrified, losing their composure and wildly swinging their knives.
They were also dumbfounded.
Suddenly, the people of Xu Daliang burst in and surrounded them.
They looked like they wanted to skin them alive, as if they harbored a deep-seated hatred.
The canthus of the eyes is about to split.
They were ordered to assassinate Mu Yunji, the Duke of Shen of Daliang, and seize his military tally.
If we win this battle...
The Great Liang Dynasty is about to change, and the new emperor has reached a cooperation agreement with the ruler of the Northern Barbarians.
They will gain the city of Cangzhou, and countless grains as well.
But looking at the dense crowd of Liang people in the courtyard, holding torches and carrying all sorts of weapons, they were surprised to find...
The person who was originally like a little chick is now baring his teeth and claws, looking extremely fierce.
The assassins were somewhat at a loss.
They never saw Mu Yunji from beginning to end; it seemed he had escaped, or perhaps he was fighting with them in the crowd.
The people surrounded them, eager to make a move, but still dared not go forward.
Lu Qingyao charged at them first, sword in hand, then turned to Xiuxiu and the guards, instructing, "Don't fight to the death, disarm them..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiuxiu drew her long whip, leaped forward, and cooperated with the guard.
Although there were few guards in the mansion, the Third Miss was there to oversee things, and so many commoners had been invited.
Their confidence soared.
Lu Qingyao explained, "The people on the border are different from those elsewhere. They often encounter foreign enemies harassing the border, stealing cattle, sheep, and grain..."
"So during the off-season, my parents would organize them to learn some martial arts so that they could protect themselves in an emergency. Those northern barbarians, no matter how strong they are, only have two hands and two legs. But we have a whole city full of people. Two fists can't fight four hands. They hate the northern barbarians more than anyone else. They hate that the northern barbarians killed their fathers, brothers, or sons. They hate that the northern barbarians destroyed their homes. It's good to vent our anger on these northern barbarians."
