    Densely crowded people gathered from the darkness towards the bright ruined temple.

    No matter how soft the footsteps were, the ground shook, but they were able to move straight to the ruined temple without any obstacles.

    There was only a burning fire in front of the ruined temple, no one was there, and it was quiet.

    The noisy footsteps stopped, something was wrong. Dewey clenched the sword in his hand. Even if he fainted after throwing incense into the fire, everyone would not be dead. Also, where are his officers and soldiers?

    The deputy general kicked open the broken door, and the scene in the ruined temple was revealed before his eyes.

    There were a lot of people inside, lying on the ground in various shapes around the burning bonfire. They were all wearing military uniforms. The bright red blood under their bodies had been spreading for who knows how long, and it condensed like a velvet blanket.

    The officers and soldiers leading the way screamed: "I, they were still fine when I left."

    Under the red firelight and red blood, Dewey's face also turned red, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

    "I've been fooled!" he shouted, turning back, "Quick"

    Before he could say a word, the sharp whistle of an arrow penetrated his throat, causing him to fall backwards.

    There were screams everywhere, but they were suppressed by more roars, and sharp arrows shot out like rain in the dark night.

    The figure tumbled and fell in the fire, and the moth threw itself into the fire as it wished and completed its last dance in its life.

    The doors and windows in the county government room were closed, and the oil lamps danced from time to time. This was because Wang Zhi got up and walked around from time to time.

    "Don't worry, sir. There will be no problem." The scribe sat quietly at the side and smiled. "They only have a few guards. No matter how powerful they are, good dogs can't resist the many evil dogs."

    "Dewey's idea is still a bit hasty." Wang knew, "Can you offset the merit by killing them?"

    "At least it can calm the anger of the little governor." The scribe sighed lightly, "This matter has nothing to do with us. If we send the news of their murder alone, the anger of the little governor An will definitely be directed at us. We will meddle in other people's business."  Killing these people and sending them away can be considered as compensation."

    Wang Zhi took a deep breath and stopped talking about this. He had already agreed, and things had already started. There was no point in thinking about it anymore. He stopped and looked at the hourglass: "They won't wait until dawn before taking action, right?"

    Before the scribe could answer, someone knocked gently on the door. The sudden sound in the middle of the night made people jump.

    However, it was one of our own who could arrive at the door so quietly.

    "The messenger is here." The scribe pointed to the doorway with confidence.

    Wang Zhi sat down and said, "Come in."

    Yuan Ji pushed the door open and walked in. The door was not closed, and Ye Feng rushed in.

    Wang Zhi and the scribe felt their scalps numb, and they made a sound to stand up.

    Yuanji's knife was already in front of him, and he slashed across the sword. The scribe fell to the ground with a cry, and pushed back. Wang Zhi grabbed the handle of the knife by his heart, and blood poured out from his chest and mouth.

    "You, you" He coughed with a lingering sound.

    what happened?

    No one gave him an explanation. Yuanji didn¡¯t open his mouth from the moment he came in until he started to fight. He kicked him and pulled out the knife.

    Wang Zhi fell to the ground, his face pressed into his own gushing blood. Through Yuanji's legs and feet, he saw someone standing outside the door.

    ??Dark night, black umbrella, black robe.

    That¡¯s what seductive ghosts are like.

    The sound of the gong broke through the morning light, and the entire Dou County was awakened. People who were tired and sleeping due to the carnival walked out of their homes in shock. The county government office was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

    "grown ups!"

    The officer Zhang Xiaoqian stood at the gate of the government office holding a knife. The young man who had killed the bandits himself was still trembling when he saw the scene of dead bodies everywhere inside.

    "We are still late." Yuanji said without much apology on his face. His body was stained with blood and the knife in his hand was curled. "We were robbed and killed by bandits. We originally wanted to come back and tell the magistrate about the bandits.  There are still some remnants, but I didn¡¯t expect that these bandits would also attack and kill the county government at the same time.¡±

    Zhang Xiaoqian looked at the dead bodies lying here and there in the county government office. Some of them were wearing ordinary clothes, some were officers and soldiers, and there were no servants.

    The bandit incident just happened, and there was still a lot to do in the aftermath, so the county magistrate left Dewey and the officers and soldiers to discuss. Because there were officers and soldiers there, the county magistrate did not let the officers be on duty at night.

    The well-trained officers and soldiers died miserably, and they, the police officers, were even more vulnerable.

    No, he means, such a vicious bandit.

    Zhang Xiao?He stumbled to the backyard, where all the officials from the county government were already there. At a glance, he saw the killed county magistrate Wang Zhi, the master, and Dewey in military uniform.

    Dewey was shot through the neck and fell on the porch. He stabbed a bandit in the neck with a knife. You can imagine the tragic and heroic battle of Master Du.

    An official with tears in his eyes stretched out his hand and stared at Dewey until his eyes closed.

    "These bandits are so hateful." Zhang Xiaoqian shouted in a trembling voice, raising the knife in his hand, "Lord Registrar, quickly mobilize the troops, quickly mobilize the troops."

    The Chief Registrar of Dou County is a grey-haired old official who has been waiting to return home for retirement. Unexpectedly, he encountered an unprecedented disaster.

    Dou County is very small. Since the previous county magistrate was imprisoned due to crimes, no new magistrate has been appointed. Apart from Wang Zhi, the only chief official in the county is him, the assistant official and chief secretary.

    After Wang Zhi died, he became the largest official in the county. He had to preside over the overall situation, deal with the aftermath, appease the people, and report to the court The old chief secretary felt dizzy, short of breath, and even wondered why he was not in the county.  The ridiculous thought of being on duty and just dying would end the matter.

    "Our Dou County is remote, and only Mr. Du has stationed troops. We have to go to Fucheng to recruit troops." He held on, "It will take ten days at the fastest to go back and forth. It can't be faster."

    "How did these thieves get in? Our city gate is useless." A civil servant stamped his feet.

    The clerk in charge of guarding the gate suddenly became anxious: "Because we just wiped out the bandits, Mr. Du, in order to appease the people, offered to replace us with officers and soldiers to guard the city. We don't know what happened."

    "Don't shirk responsibility at this time. Zhang Xiaoqian stood there blankly, feeling confused. The inside of the yamen was like a Shura field, and there was also a lot of noise outside the yamen.

    The officials had to rush out, and the guards guarding the gate could hardly stop the surging crowd.

    Although the county government was strictly on guard to prevent outsiders from entering, such a big thing happened, and the servants in the government office were so frightened that they spread the news.

    The county magistrate and generals were killed by bandits. Where is the safe place in Dou County?  The people were panicked and their cries and shouts drowned out the county officials.

    "The wife of Zhenwu Army is back."

    Shouts broke out from the crowd, and this sound stopped the noise. Everyone looked back and saw that the crowd had automatically moved out of the way. Two teams of guards, whose bodies were stained with blood and had obviously fought to the death, surrounded a carriage and slowly came.  Behind them, the horses dragged a cage made of branches, inside which were piled corpses.

    "This is all our fault." A woman's voice came from the car, "These bandits are taking revenge on us, so you will suffer too."

    Zhang Xiaoqian had already run over, and when he heard this, he shouted: "This is your fault! It's the bandits who are rampant!"

    The woman¡¯s voice sighed softly: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the bandits to be so rampant and vicious.¡±

    But no matter how rampant and ferocious they were, these bandits still died in their hands. The people watching were stunned, and one of them shouted: "Madam, please protect us common people."

    This sentence immediately boiled the oil pot, and people rushed to surround them, stretching out their hands and shouting in tears: "Please protect us, madam."

    The people left the gate of the county government office, and the overwhelmed officials were able to take a breather.

    The chief secretary looked at the submerged motorcade. The people were like water, and the blood-stained and strong guards were like dams. The water surged and hit the dam, but the lady's carriage was safe and undisturbed.

    The guards of this lady are all Zhenwu troops. They are different from the guards in the hinterland who only know how to eat and drink. They defeated the bandits twice and killed the bandits. It is really amazing

    The chief clerk¡¯s dim eyes lit up.

    God bless me!

    The chief secretary raised his hand and rushed towards the embankment like waves.

    "Mrs. Wu, please listen to me." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
