Chapter 435

These days, Niu Xunda was dazed by the angry bandits in Mangdang Mountain. He saw twenty or thirty horsemen coming and thought it was Liu whirlwind's man to provoke. When the knights were within range, he let go and sent the feather arrow out. Niu Xunda has average martial arts and shooting skills, but he is holding one of the few hard bows in Wan county. There is no problem standing on the city wall to send the feather arrow out 200 steps.

But if you want to kill, 200 steps is still too far. So Niu Xunda calculated that when the knights were more than 100 steps away from the city wall, he loosened the bowstring. He was not sure who to aim at. He thought that so many people could not miss all of them.

But the next scene, when he saw it, he was stunned.

The arrow was shot with great accuracy and flew towards the knight headed by it. But no one thought that the leading knight took down the oncoming feather arrow with a hand.

clear.

Niu Xunda was stunned and subconsciously opened his mouth.

"When did Liu whirlwind have such powerful men?"

He looked at sun Kaidao and found that the eyes of the county magistrate were still a little erratic, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it. Sun Kaidao woke up from his absence and smiled apologetically at Niu Xunda.

"It's not Liu whirlwind's mountain bandit."

Sun Kaidao looked outside the city and couldn't help but be stunned: "look, those knights are wearing the standard black armor of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. They hold a name in their hands. Although Liu whirlwind has two or three thousand bandits, they don't have a long name. These people... Are the Sui army!"

"Sui army!"

Niu Xunda's face was happy, but the thought of the county magistrate's worry immediately weighed down again. At this time, people from the Sui army must be left avant-garde soldiers. Could it be that the more than 200000 troops in Yan broken mountain could not stop the left avant-garde from going north? Even if the war is defeated, relying on the risk of Mangdangshan, it should not let the left avant-garde come easily.

"What shall I do, my lord?"

He asked.

"Let's see."

Sun Kaidao cleaned up his mind, walked forward a few steps, stood by the wall and looked down carefully. The twenty or thirty riders stopped about a hundred paces outside the city. The man in black, who was not wearing armor, stretched out his hand and took a bow from the nearby guard. Then he put the next feather arrow on the bow string, raised the hard bow, and pointed the cluster of arrows at the side of the city wall. I didn't see how he aimed. The feather arrow suddenly left the bow string and flew over. It rubbed Niu Xunda's face and plunged into the city brick.

The surging gravel left a blood mark on Niu Xunda's face. If the arrow is one point off, it can leave a hole in his face.

"He wants to kill me..."

Niu Xunda said subconsciously.

"No, if he wants to kill you, this arrow won't miss a point on purpose."

Sun Kaidao shook his head: "people who can shoot like this must be in a high position even if they are expected to come from the left front guard. I don't know which general is coming... It seems that the rebels of Yan Baoshan have been completely defeated by the left front guard. Do hundreds of thousands of troops of the left front guard really want to go north?"

"What shall we do?"

Niu Xunda asked.

"We?"

Sun Kaidao shook his head: "In fact, this day will come sooner or later. I just didn't expect to come so soon. Tell Minyong not to shoot arrows again. If you offend the general of Zuo Qianwei, you can tear down Wan county with a random attack camp. During the war, Zuo Qianwei slaughtered the county in the name of rebels in Wan county. No one blamed me. I took so much effort to protect Wan county I can't bring disaster to the people of Wan county. "

"But... Sir, once the city gate is opened, it will still be a bloody disaster if those left avant-garde people know that you have fallen to Yan broken mountain."

"I'll go out myself."

Sun Kaidao waved his hand: "you all stay!"

Without waiting for the people to stop, sun Kaidao strode down from the wall, and then ordered the soldiers guarding the gate to open the gate. Niu Xunda followed with min Yong, and sun Kaidao scolded him for staying in the gate.

He rode alone to meet the twenty or thirty people and adjusted his breathing as he walked. He knew what he would face and could not escape. No one knew the pain in his heart, and no one could stop the curse for him. In order to ensure the people of Wan County, he did not hesitate to give the woman he loved to Yan Po Shan. In order to prevent the people from being slaughtered, he even worshipped Yan Po Shan Under the husband's door, he carried all these great humiliations himself.

At present, few people in Wan County understand him and treat him as a traitor. Secretly, I don't know how many people spit and scold him.

Saved a city of people, but no one thought he was good.

He didn't think of how this could happen. Even those people didn't understand his intentions. Those men took up simple weapons to surround their homes, not because of his call.

"Sun Kaidao, the magistrate of Wanxian County, doesn't know which general has arrived?"

He went up to the Knights and saluted deeply.

"Are you sun Kaidao?"

"It's my servant."

"Take it"

The leading young man in black waved his hand, and immediately two guards jumped down from his horse and pressed sun Kaidao down. Niu Xunda scolded in the city gate cave and asked people to rush out with him to save the county magistrate, but he ran out and found that there were few Minyong behind him.

"You idiots!"

Niu Xunda gave a painful scold and rushed towards the knights with a horizontal knife.

……

……

Niu Xunda rushed over with more than a dozen Minyong and was knocked down by a man like an iron tower. The strong man, who was less than half a body higher than ordinary people, was like picking up more than a dozen young children and turning Niu Xunda and others over. More than a dozen soldiers came from behind him and pressed the horizontal knife on the shoulders of Niu Xunda and others.

"Sun Kaidao, you are the magistrate of Wan county. People in Wan County respect you. Now I have a few things to ask you."

The young man in black was Fang Xie. He pointed to sun Kaidao with a whip and asked, "I heard you demoted the rebels and were knighted? Is that true?"

Sun Kaidao was stunned and hung his head and said, "yes."

"I heard that Yin Po Shan appreciated you very much, so he didn't rob the people of Wan county. Is that true?"

"Yes!"

"Well"

Fang Xie gave a sound, waved his hand and said, "cut it."

Two soldiers passed by, one pressing sun Kaidao's neck, and the other was about to cut with a knife. Sun Kaidao struggled and shouted, "I have something to ask. It's not too late for the general to kill me after listening!"

Fang Xie raised her eyebrows slightly: "say"

Sun Kaidao raised his head and said, "the officer has indeed committed a great crime, which is unforgivable. But please kill me only. I forced others to quit the thief."

Fang Xie snorted coldly, "I will find out who is a thief in Wan county. You are the first criminal and can't be spared. Others dare to rush out of the city to save you. It is expected that you are also your accomplices. You people, with the salary of the imperial court, recognize thieves as fathers... It's not too much to punish your nine families!"

"You fart!"

Niu Xunda struggled desperately and shouted, "if there were no county magistrate, all the people in the city would have been slaughtered by the rebels. In order to protect the people in the city, Lord Sun would not hesitate to bear humiliation and burden. This is a good official! You will kill people without asking. What's the difference between you and those rebel murderers!"

"Pa!"

Kirin slapped Niu Xunda in the face, and the half of his face immediately swelled up.

"If you don't respect the general again, I'll kill you immediately."

Sun Kaidao looked at the blood on Niu Xunda's mouth and sighed: "the most wrong thing in my life is to be an official... If the general wants to kill, just kill him."

Fang Xie looked at Zhuo Buyi. Zhuo Buyi smiled and nodded.

Such people, even if they are greedy for life and afraid of death, have a bottom line after all.

"Is there food and grass in the city?"

Fang Xie asked.

"No!"

Sun kaidaomeng raised his head and replied, "although the rebels didn't kill people, they looted all the food. The people in the city don't have tomorrow's food, not at all!"

"Ha ha!"

Fang Xie couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said, "loosen their ties, Lord Sun, come with me. I have something to discuss with you."

Qilin lifts Niu Xunda up, smiles and offends. Other Minyong were also released and looked at each other. No one knew what was going on. Sun Kaidao was released by Fang Xie's soldiers and rubbed the sore shoulder: "general, what do you mean?"

"My general just wants to see if you really want to subdue thieves or protect the people."

Zhuo Buyi got off the horse and helped sun to open the way: "I offended you. If not, I'm afraid I can't test your heart. After all, you can deceive Yan broken mountain. If you don't see it, you can't deceive us."

"Who is this general?"

Sun Kaidao reacted and sighed in his heart. Xin said that if he had just begged for mercy on the ground, he was afraid that the handsome general would immediately have his head cut off. He would not have been so eager to live and die. If he were not afraid of death or stingy to die, he would not have flattered Yan Baoshan. But these days, the people have insulted, the people have been brave and cold-hearted, coupled with the news of the victory of left avant-garde, their worries and all kinds of emotions, they have no idea of living.

"My general is the imperial envoy sent by your majesty to Huangyang road."

Zhuo Buyi introduced with a smile.

"Qin... Imperial envoy?"

Sun Kaidao had guessed that the identity of the other party was not low, but he didn't expect to be an imperial envoy.

"My name is Fang Xie. I'm giving a gift to Lord Sun."

"Martial arts academy... Fang Xie?"

Sun Kaidao asked subconsciously.

"Exactly"

……

……

"There's no need to mention Wan county. I offended before."

Fang Xie reported to sun Kaidao with a fist: "it only involves the lives and deaths of thousands of people, so I have to be careful. I'll take the lead to climb the mountain to explore the way for the army. It's inevitable to be cautious. I want to know whether there are rebels entrenched in Chu county and whether there are rebel granaries. Please tell sun."

Sun Kaidao was silent for a moment and shook his head. "General, with all due respect, why don't you tell me the truth since the general came to ask me? General... May not be here to explore the way for the army?"

Sun Kaidao had calmed down, took two steps back and said: "If the left avant-garde crosses the mountain, he must not take the path in the mountain. Will hundreds of thousands of troops cross the mountain? Even if people and horses cross, baggage, armor, weapons and siege equipment, these things can't pass. Not to mention whether Luo Yao will cross the mountain, even if he does, he should take the Luo County with flat ground and crisscross official roads, not the Chu county with rugged mountain roads."

Fang Xie's eyes changed slightly, and his heart said that sun Kaidao was indeed a figure.

"You don't need to pay attention to these. If you don't want to tell me, just bring someone to inquire."

Sun Kaidao shook his head: "the governor of Chu county has demoted the rebels, and there are rebels in Dayang City, the governing city of Chu county. The lower officer knows what the general wants to ask. But the lower officer has one condition. As long as the general agrees, the lower officer is willing to personally lead the general through Chu county and recapture the rebel's baggage."

"How do you know I'm going through Chu county?"

Fang Xie asked.

"If the general wants to join the Imperial Army, he must go to the Yangtze River Ferry. Instead of exploring the way for the left avant-garde, he can only go to the rebel rear. The officer heard that Yang Kai, king of Xujun, has a team in langrushan, so it's not difficult to infer the general's whereabouts."

"Say your terms."

Fang Jiedao.

"There is a gang of mountain bandits on Mount Mangdang, about two or three thousand people. They are more ferocious than the rebels. If the general is willing to remove this cancer for our Wan County, the officer is willing to work for the adult!"

"Kill two birds with one stone?"

Fang Xie couldn't help laughing: "you're a smart man!"

Sun Kaidao blushed and said, "adults have eyes like torches."

"I have no worries for you except those mountain bandits. The rebels have been defeated in the south of the mountain. Once the imperial army comes, you can't hide the fact that you have surrendered to the rebels. Sooner or later, you will die. Therefore, you are asking me to eliminate the harm for WAN County. In fact, you are considering the future for yourself, right?"

Fang Xie looked at sun Kaidao and said, "don't want to calculate others for everything. If you don't calculate well, you will lose your life."

Sun Kaidao did not dare to answer. For the first time, he found that his mind was so easily and simply seen through. The young general in front of him seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts.
