...

In the backyard of the yamen, a group of women were curling up together with fear. When they heard the shrill screams from outside the government office, they felt up and down, anxious, and a slight sob echoed in the yard from time to time.

Once you fall into the hands of these foreign barbarians, you can imagine the consequences. If you don’t have to protect your chastity, you will be very likely to be caught in a foreign country as a slave, and you may never return to the Central Plains in this life...

Now, they can only place all their hopes on the military officer named Liu Zhi standing in the center of the backyard.

Liu Zhi held a straw in his mouth and looked at the frightened women in front of him with a cynical face, but he was extremely anxious.

If it were the case before, he might feel that he was in this piece of rouge powder and was very lucky. Unfortunately, now he is thinking about how to protect these women from hiding through this disaster.

"Bah, forget it, just think that I, Liu Zhi, owe you, at worst, I can pay it back with my life..."

Liu Zhi spit out the straw from his mouth and called a yamen runner to ask, "Go and see where the Hu people outside are? Don't let them touch them while we are not paying attention..."

The yamen runner immediately turned around and walked towards the front hall of the government office. As soon as he left, another yamen runner came to Liu Zhi timidly and whispered: "Sir, I heard that those Hu people are quite cruel..."

"Um……"

Liu Zhi responded softly, but there was no change in his expression.

Seeing this, the yamen runner frowned and asked again, "Sir, are you really going to stay here?"

"Um……"

The person who responded to the yamen runner was still Liu Zhi's expressionless response, and he glanced at him jokingly.

Seeing this, the yamen runner had to bite the bullet and say, "Sir, I don't understand. Since all the superiors have issued documents to us to withdraw, why do you still want to stay here? Even the county magistrate ran away..."

"What then?" Liu Zhi asked back, "Do you want to say that they ran away? We have to follow us?"

The yamen runner was speechless and just nodded silently.

Liu Zhi raised his hand and patted the yamen runner's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "I ask you, if all the officials in the yamen run away, who will protect these people?

Do you want to watch these delicate girls be ruined by those dirty savages and then be caught in a desolate place for life as slaves?"

The yamen runner swallowed nervously and whispered: "Sir, those high-ranking officials can't control them. Why do we, the servants, have to wade into this muddy water? Even if these women are saved, will they still be punished if the superiors blame them?"

Liu Zhi said: "What the superiors plan to punish me, I don't care. I only know that I am an eighth-rank military officer in the Great Zhou Dynasty and have the responsibility to protect the safety of these girls in front of me.

I, Liu Zhi, have never done anything good in my life. Since I was a child, I have been so naughty that all the people in the streets would be willing to pay attention to them. Even if I apologize to the people for the bad things I have done before!”

After saying that, he came to the women and bowed and said loudly: "Sisters, don't be afraid. As long as I, Liu Zhi, are still in this yamen for a day, I will never let the barbarians on the street hurt your hair!

I know, Liu Zhi is not a guy, and I have been angry with your family since I was a child. However, no matter what, I, Liu Zhi, is also a seven-foot man, and I will not watch you jump into the fire pit! Just stay here with peace of mind!"

Listening to Liu Zhi's powerful words, the tense and uneasy hearts of hundreds of women in front of him were a little relaxed. Many people discovered for the first time that this gangster who was looked down upon by everyone in the past had such a bloody side...

At this moment, the yamen runner who had run outside the mansion to explore the traces of the Hu people turned to Liu Zhi with sweat on his head and said nervously: "Sir, outside the door... there are many Hu people coming here!"

"Sister, I'm afraid~"

As soon as the yamen runner finished speaking, the woman who was avoiding disasters in the backyard immediately sobbed in horror. The sisters were even more afraid and cried in tears, with despair on their faces.

Liu Zhi's eyes turned cold, his expression changed slightly, and he said loudly: "Sisters, please be careful here! No one can hurt you, please believe me!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran quickly towards the front hall of the government office.

When Liu Zhi arrived at the government office, he saw more than 20 Hu people dressed in strange clothes surrounded the yamen, confronting more than a dozen yamen runners holding sticks.

Liu Zhi took a deep breath, then changed into a deck of an official, strode forward and shouted, "What's going on? Why are you yelling?"

When a leader saw Liu Zhi wearing the uniform of a military general, he frowned, and then said a lot of Hu words "Ji Li Gulu".

Liu Zhi scratched his ear with his little finger for a while, then he flicked the earwax he had picked out casually, and asked the yamen runners to pick up a bench.

After Liu Zhi sat down, he put one leg on the stool and sneered at the talking Hu man, stretched out his palm to interrupt him: "Sorry, I can't understand a word of bird sing. You should speak human language. Can anyone among you speak human language?"

The Hu man's already rough cheeks suddenly sank, and he muttered a few words to the aliens with only a thigh of hair hanging down on his head.

After a while, the Hu man with only a bunch of hair on his head pulled a scholar in his twenties, wearing a green green shirt, and stared at him with a vicious words in Hu language. The scholar was so scared that he nodded repeatedly.

The scholar Liu Zhi recognized that Wang Ru, a Confucian scholar who kept shouting benevolence, righteousness and morality in the county? How could he be here?

After hearing the Hu people's words, Wang Ru turned to Liu Zhi and said, "Liu Zhi, hand over all the women in the yamen. Master Hu said that as long as they let them take the women away, they will not make things difficult for you..."

When Liu Zhi heard this, his face turned black instantly. The gaze in his pupils glared at Wang Ru for a while before he slowly asked: "Wang Ru, I ask you, how did these barbarians know that people are in the yamen?"

Wang Ru said: "Everyone has seen it, do you still need to deny it?"

Liu Zhi raised his lips, snorted coldly, put down his single leg on the bench, squinted his eyes and asked Wang Ru, "Who is the surname Wang, do you think you told these ugly monsters?"

When Wang Ru heard this, his heart became fainted and his eyes kept dodging. After a while, he said to Liu Zhi: "So what? Liu Zhi, why are you a small official who is the size of a sesame and a mung bean in charge of this scattered thing? Can you control this?"

"Hmph..." Liu Zhi snorted coldly and said to Wang Ru: "Ask them for me, what do they want if I don't hand over these women?"

Wang Ru's pupils shrank, and she translated Liu Zhi's words to the Hu people beside her. When the Hu people heard this, they immediately looked at Liu Zhi and said a lot of Hu words. Judging from his hideous expression, they were obviously extremely angry.

Wang Ru nodded repeatedly and then said to Liu Zhi: "If you don't make any friends, it will hinder the agreement between Xia State and the Great Zhou Dynasty. Don't blame others for using force to kill you all!"

"presumptuous!"

Liu Zhi shouted loudly, scaring Wang Ru to take two steps back. Even the Hu people beside him were shocked and looked at each other for a moment...

Liu Zhi shouted loudly: "What is this place? The government office of the Great Zhou Dynasty! How can you, the Hu people, do you wantonly here? I don't agree on any agreement today.

I only know that I have to fulfill my duty as an official in this official uniform for a day. If I want to catch those sisters, I will let these ugly monsters step over me!"

Liu Zhi's words were very inspiring, which made the yamen runners around him who were willing to retreat immediately cheer up and stood up and looked straight at the Hu people.

After Wang Ru translated the words to the Hu people, the group of Hu people all pulled out arc knives from their waists, pointed at Liu Zhi and the surrounding yamen runners, and said a lot of Hu language.

Wang Ru nodded and bowed, and said in a slow tone to Liu Zhi, "Liu Zhi, why do you have to waste your life in vain? I don't care about this matter, why do you want you to be a hero? I'd better hand over the person obediently, and I will avoid a bloody disaster..."

Liu Zhi was silent for a moment when he heard this, nodded probably, then stood up and said to Wang Ru, "What you said makes sense, then wait for me for a while, and I will go..." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the inner hall.

When Wang Ru saw this, he was overjoyed and said to the Hu people beside him that Liu Zhi had compromised. When the Hu people heard this, they immediately put their swords away and laughed loudly.

After a while, when Liu Zhi appeared in everyone's sight again, the laughter of the Hu people came to an abrupt end.

I saw Liu Zhi wearing a fish scale iron armor, holding a semen iron gun, standing majestic at the yamen gate, and sweeping at the Hu people with cold eyes and contempt.

"You..." Wang Ru was stunned and pointed at Liu Zhi but couldn't say a word.

"You'll listen!" Liu Zhi held the iron spear in his hand heavily on the ground and shouted loudly, "I, Liu Zhi, as a military officer of the Great Zhou Dynasty, have the responsibility to guard this yamen! No matter who dares to trespass, he will be killed without mercy!

As long as I stand here for a day, you can’t take a step. Those who are not afraid of death can just step forward!"

"Drink~"

The yamen runners around were also excited and shouted together.

"Kill~~"

Without Wang Ru continuing to translate, the Hu people could already see his determination from the expression on Liu Zhi's face, and immediately drew a sword and killed him.

Liu Zhi shouted: "Brothers, you can't let these beasts hurt the sisters in the inner palace. If you are a man, just fight with them with a tough time. It's not in vain to come to this world! If you have the guts, come with me and kill Hu Bao's family~"

"Kill Hu Bao's family~"

"Kill~"

The yamen runner roared with a sad voice, and then he collided with the group of barbaric Hu people. The fighting in the yamen shocked the sky, composeing a tragic battle song...

The shrill sound of fighting continued to echo inside and outside the yamen, and the cruel Hu people fought with these yamen runners and military officers at the bottom.

These yamen runners are not doing anything for credit or fame at this moment. They just want to defend this yamen with their flesh and blood, so as not to let the women and children hiding in the backyard suffer any harm.

After a fierce battle, all the yamen runners were cut down by the Hu people with rich combat experience and well-equipped equipment. Only Liu Zhi was covered in blood and still waved the iron spear in his hand to block the entrance of the backyard, preventing the Hu people from succeeding...

"Bang~"

“Uh~”

A two-pound iron melon hammer hit the fish scale armor in front of Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi felt a suffocation of pain in his chest, as if he heard the sound of the fragmented internal organs.

"Ah~"

Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he used all his strength to wave the iron spear in his hand, and smashed the gun bar hard on the cheek of the Hu man who caused fatal damage to himself.

“Ah~”

The Hu man screamed, feeling his nose bone broken, he fell to the ground with his face covered and kept rolling back and forth...

"Kill him~"

"Come~"

The leader of the Hu people and Liu Zhi roared at the same time, and the two bodies collided fiercely. Countless Hu people rushed forward and completely submerged Liu Zhi in the blade...

Liu Zhi finally fell into a pool of blood, and even stood firm in front of the inner courtyard without retreating!

When these aliens stepped over Liu Zhi's fallen body and entered the backyard with anger, they looked at the beautiful girl with despair expressions in their eyes, but the evil fire in their bodies miraculously extinguished. They turned around and looked at Liu Zhi and the group of yamen runners who were lying in a pool of blood, a little confused...

"Let's go..."

After hesitating for a moment, the leader of the Qiang people seemed to be conscientious and actually took back the bloody arc knife into the sheath, waved his hand to greet his companions, and retreated from the backyard together, leaving the group of helpless girls who were within their reach.

Not only did women have a low status in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they were also worthless in the eyes of the Hu people, but they were just a vessel to vent their animal desires and reproduce offspring. But Liu Zhi and the others actually sacrificed their young lives for these low-ranking women, which shocked these unsatisfied aliens and changed their idea of ​​looting this yamen.

When he saw Xia Ren coming out empty-handed, Wang Ru immediately met him and asked with a flattering smile: "Master Hu, isn't the little one wrong? Those women are inside. Are there too many women who are not easy to pretend? I'll find some Master Hu to help you..."

When the leader of the Xia people heard this, he was immediately furious and suddenly drew his knife and slashed his throat, bringing out a trace of blood.

Wang Ru covered her bloody neck with disbelief and tried to moan, and after she tried to moan, her eyes passed away like a tide, then she collapsed to the ground with weakness, wriggling her body a few times in extreme pain, and was surrounded by endless darkness...

The last scene he saw before his death was that countless pairs of animal leather shoes trampled and left him...
