Chapter 1700: The Warriors

Chu Huan was looking at the other side of the village when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the other end of the rammed earth house. A cold light flashed in his eyes and his body was light. He flashed to the other side of the house. Through the small earth window of the rammed earth house, he found that there were also a group of people riding horses on the other end of the village. At this time, he could see clearly that there were at least fifteen or sixteen riders. On a rainy night, he was like a wolf or a tiger, and was aggressive.

"Duke Chu, it seems to be... officers and soldiers!" Qi Hong's face darkened, "What are they doing here in the middle of the night?" He had already snatched it, took his own knife, held it in his hand, Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly."

"Duke Chu, so late at night, these soldiers came to this remote village and must have discovered our whereabouts." Qi Hong whispered: "We arrived here last night. Several people in the village saw us, but they were afraid they informed the government."

Qi Hong thought in his heart that after leaving Mount Beili, although he was disguised on the road and walked along the remote path, Luo Duo had a burly body and a big beard. He looked like he was not an ordinary person at first sight, and he was probably targeted by someone.

Chu Huan looked cold and didn't say anything. When the officers and soldiers, like wolves and tigers, had already strangled the horses when they arrived at both ends of the village. Chu Huan's eyes were like lightning, but he found that not only were a group of cavalry coming, but behind the cavalry, there were also a large group of infantry soldiers holding spears and swords. In the drizzle, these people didn't care at all.

I saw a cavalry who looked like a general and waved his hand and said something. More than 30 infantry soldiers lined up at the entrance of the village and blocked the entrance of the village. The general led more than a dozen cavalrymen to the village and came to the village.

The general passed by the door of the rammed earth house. Qi Hong was already holding his sword tightly, and Chu Huan was already in the shape of a knife. In this small remote village, such a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came. Chu Huan's first thought was of course his whereabouts were leaked, and the group of officers and soldiers chased him.

In the Heavenly Palace, the queen was held hostage and escaped. Chu Huan did not think that the prince was generous and kind, nor did he even think that the prince really took the queen to heart.

After the emperor died, it was inevitable that the crown prince would inherit the throne. All the kings, no matter what they were private, were singularly politely on the surface to govern the country with kindness and filial piety, and benevolence and filial piety.

In front of everyone, if the prince ignored the queen's life and death, he would rather sacrifice the queen than kill Chu Huan. Chu Huan was certainly unable to escape, but the prince's prestige would plummet, and even affect his succession to the throne.

Luo Duo held the queen hostage, so he naturally calculated that the prince did not dare to take the blame for the world.

However, once he escaped from the Heavenly Palace, Chu Huan did not think that the queen was a life-saving talisman that was invincible.

Chu Huan certainly understood the prince's mind. Once he returned to the northwest, he would be like a tiger returning to the mountain. Of course, this was something the prince didn't want to see. As long as it was possible, the prince would definitely send someone to intercept him before he came out of seclusion.

After leaving the Heavenly Palace, the queen's role is not as good as that in the Heavenly Palace. The prince can ignore his brothers and feet and send someone to assassinate King Yingren of Qi. He is cruel and ruthless, so he naturally will not care about the Queen's life or death.

Chu Huan even guessed that the prince might not have issued a secret order. As long as he found his own trace, he would not have to take into account the safety of the queen and kill him with all his strength.

The prince was cruel and ruthless, and he did not have the kindness of the wife of the King of Qi. If he had not had this secret order, Chu Huan would have thought the prince was abnormal.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers suddenly came, and Chu Huan naturally thought that it was very likely that the traces were exposed, so the officers and soldiers searched here.

"Clang!"

The door of the house was kicked heavily. Although it was tied to the door, the door was disrepaired for so long. The outside kick almost kicked the door open. Chu Huan had already discovered that the cavalry brigade had already gone to the village, and a cavalry turned over and dismounted in front of the rammed earth house, and came forward to kick it with a big knife in his hand.

"Open the door." The cavalry outside said in a deep voice: "There is a bolt inside, but it is not opened yet."

Chu Huan knew that if the door of the rammed earth house was open at will, the officers and soldiers would probably not have checked the two dilapidated rooms. It was just that it rained heavily last night, with cold wind and cold rain. If the door was tied, the soldiers outside could naturally immediately determine that there was someone inside.

Qi Hong flashed behind the door, raised his knife, Chu Huan shook his head, pretending to be lazy, "Who? What's wrong with this late?"

"Open the door, his grandma, stop talking nonsense!" the soldier outside said rudely.

Chu Huan winked and signaled Qi Hong to put away his sword first. Only this soldier came to knock on the door. If he really did, Chu Huan could easily solve it.

Qi Hong flashed to the corner of the house, stuffed the knife into the straw, and then sat on the haystack. The soldiers outside were impatient and kicked them again. On the other side of the village, they were barking and messing around. Hearing the officers and soldiers entering the village shouted loudly, and they were very rampant.

Chu Huan wiped the wall a few times, and his hands were stained with dust from the wall, and then applied it to his face a few times, and then opened the door. The soldier was kicking him over. Chu Huan suddenly opened it. The man kicked it empty and staggered. Fortunately, there was no threshold for the rammed earth house, otherwise he would have been tripped by the threshold and eaten shit.

The soldier staggered in and didn't even look at the person inside. He quickly retreated and tightened his knife. Chu Huan looked at the man's clothes and looked at his outfit. He was actually the armor of the local state army.

Although there are as many as dozens of military uniforms in the imperial country, the armor of local states and military personnel in the country are unified.

The man held the knife in his hand tightly, stood firm outside the door, looked cautious, looked inside, then stared at Chu Huan, and said in a deep voice: "How many people are there in the room?"

Chu Huan pretended to be frightened and said, "Is there anything wrong with sir?" He had an ordinary appearance, but he was pretending to be scared at this time. With a coarse cloth dress, he looked like a rustic rural boy.

"Stop talking nonsense, a few people, all come out!" The man shook the knife in his hand.

Chu Huan deliberately said to Qi Hong: "Brother, let's go out, come over quickly..." He came out first, and Qi Hong also pretended to be lazy. He was from the Guards and was tall and tall. Although he was not as conspicuous as Luo Duo, he was also a strong man when he saw that he came out. When the soldier looked at him, he asked, "Is there anyone inside?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "There are only two of us in this room!"

"Is it from this village?" the man asked.

Chu Huan shook his head, and the soldier immediately took a step back, pointed the blade at Chu Huan, and called out to the entrance of the village. The rammed earth house was at the entrance of the village. The dozens of infantrymen were blocking the road at the entrance of the village. At this time, several people rushed over with long spears in their hands. Qi Hong frowned and clenched his fists. The soldiers rushed over and surrounded Chu Huan and Qi Hong.

"Say, who are you?"

Chu Huan hurriedly said, "We are the people who escaped from Yuling..."

"Oh?" The soldier looked up and down, and saw Qi Hong still erect, sneering: "Who are you? You are not afraid of swords and guns, how could you be an ordinary person?"

"Sir, this is my brother. He has been stupid since he was a child and didn't know how to be afraid." Chu Huan said immediately.

"Fool?" the soldier sneered, "Are you really a fool?" He pointed to his boots, "If he is a fool, let him lick the dirt on my boots..."

At this moment, he heard a "creaking" sound. The door of the rammed earth house next door had been opened, but Mei Niang, wearing a thick floral dress, came out. Before the person arrived, the voice had already arrived: "What happened in the middle of the night?"

Although Mei Niang was wearing coarse cloth clothes, her figure was hard to hide. The soldiers glanced at her and their eyes were attracted. The cavalry soldiers' eyes were shiny, and they glanced at Chu Huan, "Who is she?"

"Yes... it's my wife!" Chu Huan said: "Sir, we are all good people and have not committed crimes. You should be proud of yourself and don't make things difficult for us."

The cavalry soldier coughed and said, "The magistrate was stabbed, and the murderer hid in this village. Since you are outsiders, you can't get rid of the suspicion." He walked to Mei Niang and circled Mei Niang. He saw that Mei Niang's figure, wrapped in coarse cloth clothes, was bulging in front and back, and his throat squirmed, but his voice was much softer, "Are you his wife?"

Mei Niang pretended to be pitiful and said, "It's... sir, who do you want to catch?"

"Catch the assassin!" said the soldier: "You are not locals, but you fled to this remote village. It is very suspicious. You are assassins?"

At this time, the village was already in chaos, and the exits on both sides of the village had been blocked. Twenty or thirty cavalry had already shouted the villagers in the village out of the house. Under a jujube tree in the village, there were already gathering villagers who woke up from their dreams, including men, women, young and old, and dozens of people.

Mei Niang looked scared and said, "Sir, we are honest and good people. We are not assassins. Even if you give me a knife, I... I don't know how to kill people!"

Her timid look, coupled with her beautiful appearance, was really seductive. The soldier was already filled with his heart and smiled and said, "Maybe, will the assassin be recognized at first sight?" His eyes swept over Mei Niang's plump chest, and his throat moved, and said, "The assassin must have weapons on his body. Let me search to see if there are weapons hidden." He reached out and wanted to grab Mei Niang's clothes. Mei Niang's pretty face was still terrified, but the cold light in his eyes was already revealed. Before the soldier touched Mei Niang's clothes, Chu Huan had already flashed in front of Mei Niang and smiled apologized: "Sir, she has never seen the world. I really don't know what the assassin is like... Sir, we are just people who fled. If we can't stay here, we will leave now..."

Mei Niang had already had murderous intent. If Chu Huan had not stopped him, the soldier would have been corpse in the local area in an instant. Fortunately, Chu Huan knew Mei Niang's temperament and knew that Mei Niang was cruel. If this soldier really touched Mei Niang's body, he would definitely die. He didn't want to cause more trouble at this moment, so he stopped him in time.

The soldier's face sank and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy to leave now." But he saw a figure in the room at the corner of his eyes and said sternly, "Who is in the room? Why don't you get out?"

Several infantrymen walked forward with guns and shouted at the door of the house, "Come out, come out quickly!"

But the queen, who had a slightly frown, had already come out of the house. When the soldiers saw that it was a middle-aged woman, they looked at each other and saw that the woman had a stunning face. They were all surprised and thought to themselves that these two men were not handsome, but these two women were really the best in the world.
