Chapter 1141: Killing
Several soldiers around were applauding and cheering loudly.
Chen Xiu didn't say a word, and pulled out the knife from his waist with a choke, flew over, grabbed the bearded soldier's bun with one hand, and twisted his head. He wiped the knife in his hand and then flew up. The bearded soldier rolled to the side, blood splattered all over the ground.
The woman on the ground had already fainted. Fortunately, she fainted, otherwise the blood would have squirted on her, and she would have been so scared that she would be confused.
After a few soldiers around him were stunned for a moment, they screamed and rushed up with their swords. The Tang soldiers behind Chen Xiu rushed up and put them all on the ground in a few seconds.
The movement here attracted the attention of the rioters from other places. Several rioters looked at the number of people here, but turned around and ran away.
Chen Xiu picked up the woman on the ground and dragged him into the Tang house. At the same time, he greeted the shivering people on the street: "If you want to live, come in."
Looking at Chen Xiu and the Tang army, these people were confused until Tang Zhong appeared and greeted them loudly. These people woke up like a dream, stumbled towards the Tang house and rushed in from the gate.
At this moment, neat footsteps and howling sounds came from the streets. A group of soldiers appeared. Unlike the previous riots, these people were neatly formed and distinctly armored. They didn't even look at the refugees on both sides of the street. Only those confused people stood in front of them and were then killed on the spot with a knife.
Chen Xiu took a deep breath, and then choked and then slapped the knife into the sheath, but the man stood proudly under the stairs. More than 20 Tang soldiers were lined up in battle formations behind him, and a soldier shook open the flag of the Tang army with a loud bang.
Suddenly seeing the flag appear, an officer from Liu's army who led the team was a little surprised. He raised his hand and stopped less than ten steps away from Chen Xiu, and the two sides confronted each other.
At this moment, there were still many people rushing into the Tang House from behind Chen Xiu along the bottom of the wall on the other side.
The Liu army lieutenant strode forward and stared at Chen Xiu.
"Northern Tang Army?"
"When I was in Jiujiang, you General Liu met me!" Chen Xiu said coldly.
The captain turned his head and looked at the Chen soldiers who were corpsing on the ground, and said angrily: "You have crossed the line. General Chen said, you are our allies, but you have killed our people."
"I can't stand it!" Chen Xiu's tone was cold and sluggish, and he refused to let him go: "You are the ones who have crossed the line. If you kill someone who shouldn't be killed, and if you do things you shouldn't be done, you will have to die."
The captain was furious and suddenly drew his sword. The hundreds of soldiers behind him shouted, raised the spears and crossbows in their hands, and pointed them at Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu snorted coldly: "Do you all want to die?"
In terms of strength at this moment, Chen Xiu is far from an opponent, but if he wants to talk about the overall strength of both sides, Liu Xinda is no longer a match.
Just a Tang Dynasty flag made the lieutenant officer who was already a little furious at the moment hesitate. Killing these people in front of him is not a difficult task. The question is, do you dare to kill them?
The two sides were in a stalemate and no one was willing to give in.
Until the sound of horse hooves sounded on the street.
An officer rode his horse and appeared between the two of them, turned over and dismounted, but gave the whip to the lieutenant without hesitation and shouted angrily: "Get back."
The lieutenant officer opened his mouth and said nothing, but finally turned around and quickly left the place with his more than a hundred soldiers.
"Person Chen, offended!" the officer bowed and said, "We General Teng, please come over and meet."
"Very good, I'm just about to meet him!" Chen Xiu said coldly. "Come on two people and follow me. The rest, stay here to guard!"
In the former prefect's office in Pingxiangcheng, Chen Xiu met Liu Xinda.
Obviously, Liu Xinda already knew what happened. When he saw Chen Xiu, he just said lightly: "Person Chen, you have never led the army, but I believe you can understand the situation now. You asked me to kill some people, and I did it, but once such a killing begins, it will not be easy to stop it."
"With General Liu's ability, I don't believe you can't stop it. Killing these ordinary people will not only give these people some deformed pleasure, but I don't think it can bring you any benefits." Chen Xiu said.
"I have no choice!" Liu Xinda looked at Chen Xiu directly: "According to your requirements, I will go south all the way, but the battles in the future will become more and more difficult, because the opponents will pay more and more attention to us, and the preparations will become more and more complete. I only have a little manpower and cannot afford to lose money, but the weapons you sell us are getting more and more expensive. I have to try my best to raise food and money. I also have to ensure that I can stimulate my soldiers enough. These people are poor, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still flesh, and the amount of accumulation is too much!"
Pointing at the mountains of copper coins, silver, gold nuggets, and various jewelry in the yard, Chen Xiu's mouth twitched twice. He found that among the piles of treasures, there were some broken hands, wearing rings of gold, silver or gems. The robbers obviously felt it was too troublesome to strode, so they cut them down with a knife. As for taking these things down, it was not their business.
Looking at these bloody gold and silver treasures, Chen Xiu nodded: "General Liu, stop these fearless killings. I will go to General Ren. What you need will be delivered soon, and you will also be given a suitable price again. Our request is only one, that is, not to kill those who should not die, and the killing in Pingxiang will stop now."
Liu Xinda smiled and said, "It's great, just wait for the words of Master Chen. But Master Chen, can you count on what you said?"
"I promised it will definitely be done."
"Okay, three days, we will stop for three days. After three days, if there is no suitable answer, we have to do it again and raise enough money and food to buy you enough weapons."
