Lu Qing took the lead, followed by more than a hundred cavalry and hundreds of infantry. The speed was already quite fast.

Because more than a dozen cavalry were sent to open the way in front, the people were pushed aside early. The long street where they passed was naturally extremely smooth, so the army's advance was not slow at all.

But when Lu Qing glanced ahead, his brows furrowed.

The long street ahead is not spacious at all, but on both sides of the long street, there are actually more than a dozen large carriages parked. Generally speaking, such large carriages are only owned by the homes of local gentry, because the carriages are compared with ordinary carriages.

An ordinary carriage is half the size, and can accommodate several people in the carriage.

It is conceivable that when these dozen carriages appeared on the street, they would not say occupying half of the street, but at least one-third.

It was obvious that these dozen carriages had affected the advancing speed of the army to a certain extent.

However, although Lu Qing said that he was quite worried, he did not think about what to do with these people. On the one hand, he was eager to help Li Huan, and on the other hand, it was also because Li Huan had specifically warned him not long ago.

Why is it that the last thing the local government wants to see is a large army entering the city, even the imperial army?

It's really because the discipline of soldiers and horses in this era is really worrying, even for the imperial soldiers and horses.

Once they enter the city, many soldiers will burn, kill, and loot. This is not uncommon.

Obviously Li Huan was also worried that once these soldiers from Tengxiang Left Guard entered Yuyao County, they would cause destruction in the county, which would defeat Li Huan's original intention.

Therefore, Li Huan specifically told Lu Qing that Lu Qing should strictly enforce military discipline and never allow the army to burn, kill, and plunder the people after entering the city.

So when he saw the dozens of carriages vaguely hindering the speed of the army, Lu Qing was just worried and didn't think about what to do to the opponent.

Qiao Songnian, Cao Zhen, Xing Tai and others who were hiding on the side of the road looked at the oncoming army with great nervousness.

As the soldiers and horses of Tengxiang's left guard approached, Qiao Songnian's and his others' faces became serious. No matter how ignorant they were, they could tell that this group of soldiers and horses was definitely the best among the best.

It is by no means comparable to ordinary local guard troops.

The neat armor and even the evil spirit exuding from the soldiers all showed how elite this troop was.

This is the elite army of the imperial court. Li Huan actually mobilized the imperial army to come here. What exactly did he want to do? Could it be that Li Huan had expected from the beginning that they would promote civil unrest?

I don't know why, but when they saw these elite soldiers and horses of the imperial court, Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai, Cao Zhen and others had this idea in their hearts.

Rumble

The ground shook, and Lu Qing rode a tall horse and passed by the carriage, looking at Qiao Songnian, Cao Zhen, and Xing Tai.

It can be seen that Qiao Songnian and Xing Tai are all dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, and they generally belong to the kind of powerful local lords.

However, Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and others had something in their minds. Under Lu Qing's gaze, they all showed fear on their faces. They subconsciously did not dare to look at Lu Qing and lowered their heads for fear that the other party would see him.

Their expressions change.

Lu Qing saw the expressions of Xing Tai and Qiao Songnian in his eyes, with a look of disdain on his lips.

They were just a group of local tycoons, and at most they could dominate the local area. He really didn't take these unworthy people to heart.

The cavalry roared past, followed by elite soldiers with a bit of evil spirit on their bodies.

These obviously magnificent carriages naturally fell in the eyes of these soldiers.

Many soldiers looked at these carriages, with a hint of greed in their eyes. For these soldiers, besides killing people, there was only one thought in their minds, and that was money.

Even a fool can tell that the owners of these dozen carriages must be worth a lot of money. If they can be robbed, they will be worth a lot of money.

It's a pity that before they entered the city, they had been repeatedly warned by their commander. Once they entered the city, even if there was a mountain of gold and silver piled in front of them, they must control their hands, otherwise they would wait.

What follows them is strict military law.

As if he was afraid that military law would not be able to scare these subordinates, Lu Qing directly told the soldiers that they were working for the Jin Yiwei this time. If anyone dared to cause any trouble, the Jin Yiwei would never let them go.

Some soldiers are not afraid of military law, but they are still in awe of the Jinyi Guards, especially the soldiers of Li Huan and Tengxiang Left Guard.

They had heard that Li Huan dared to kill even the noble princes and uncles, and that Li Huan killed several important officials in the court. If Li Huan wanted to kill small soldiers like them, it would be a matter of just one word.

Maybe Li Huan himself didn't know that he was such a big deterrent to these soldiers.

Even though these soldiers looked at Qiao Songnian and others, they knew that the other party had a lot of wealth, but they did not dare to think of looting.

Qiao Songnian and others didn't dare to look at Lu Qing, but that didn't mean they didn't dare to look at the soldiers and horses in progress.

Especially how could they not notice the greed in the eyes of many soldiers when they looked at them.

However, although Qiao Songnian and others were a little worried, they saw that although these soldiers looked greedy, none of them took action against them, which was completely beyond their expectations.

From their understanding, the crossing of the border by the army may not be much better than the crossing by the bandits, especially when faced with people like them who are obviously extremely wealthy, they can actually resist the greed in their hearts.

Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and others looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Such a troop was able to restrain the desires in their hearts. They were definitely the elite among the elite. However, with this knowledge, several people felt an ominous feeling in their hearts.

Li Huan actually secretly mobilized such an elite army to come to Yuyao County. Why didn't they receive any information in advance? What did Li Huan want to do? Why did they feel like they were falling into someone else's scheme?

When the army passed by, Qiao Songnian supported Xing Tai and others and said, "Guys, something seems to be wrong. We'd better leave as soon as possible."

There was no need for Qiao Songnian to remind Xing Tai and others that something was wrong. They dared to stay longer in Yuyao City.

Several people got on the carriage and immediately urged the servants to start running towards the city gate.

However, it was said that the mob that attacked Li Huan and others could not even approach the steps of Xie's Mansion after paying the price of two to three hundred tragic deaths.

But in front of the steps of Xie's Mansion, corpses fell to pieces one by one, with blood flowing down the stone steps.

At this time, even the mob behind them noticed something was wrong in front of them. You must know that although many people were hit by crossbows, unless it was a vital part, they would not die immediately.

Those who were seriously injured but not dead let out shrill and painful wails.

Previously, it was covered up by the shouting of many people, but gradually more and more people were injured and screaming, so that those shouts were drowned out.

When they heard the piercing screams, the gangsters and gangsters who were originally feverish seemed to suddenly wake up.

In particular, some people squeezed to the front and saw at a glance the horrific scene of corpses lying on the ground in front of the Xie Mansion. Some people were hit by several arrows and fell lifeless in a pool of blood, while others fell to the ground wailing after being hit by arrows.

There was blood flowing everywhere, and the scene was extremely bloody and cruel.

Not to mention these scumbags who bully the weak and fear the strong and cannot stand on the stage. Even people with extremely strong psychological qualities would be frightened to the point of collapse if they saw such a situation.

Just like the goddess who spent a lot of effort to squeeze to the front, when she saw the corpse lying on the ground in front of her, she was so frightened that she even sat down on the ground and murmured to herself

: "Didn't you say that the government won't kill people? How could this happen..."

Not far from the goddess, there was an old beggar lying on the ground. The old beggar was still holding a stick in his hand, but there was a crossbow arrow stuck in his chest. The crossbow arrow pierced his chest. At this moment,

Blood was gurgling from his mouth, and an eight or nine-year-old child with a broken arm was hitting the old beggar on the head with a stone in his hand.

Several butchers headed by Butcher Liu had just squeezed out from the crowd at this moment, raising the butcher's knife in their hands and shouting: "Li Huan's head belongs to me, no one is allowed to snatch it from me..."

"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Butcher Liu felt a chill all over his body, and he felt a series of eyes looking towards him.

At this time, Butcher Liu Fang saw dozens or hundreds of Jin Yiwei guarding the gate of Xie's Mansion in front of him. Dozens of Jin Yiwei still held powerful crossbows in their hands, and arrows shining with cold light were pointed at them from a distance.

The blood flowing on the ground had reached their feet, and a few feet away in front of them were corpses on the ground. Even as a butcher, he was used to seeing bloody scenes, but when he saw this situation, he still couldn't bear it.

Can't help but stay there.

Butcher Liu's shouts naturally fell into the ears of Chen Yao and others, and their eyes fell on Butcher Liu's face full of flesh.

"kill!"

With a cold shout, dozens of arrows were shot out. Butcher Liu's eyes were full of fear when he saw this situation. He turned around and wanted to run away. He even dropped the butcher knife in his hand on the ground. Unfortunately,

As soon as he turned around, he felt severe pain in his body.

Not only Butcher Liu, but also several butchers who followed Butcher Liu were obviously taken care of. The others were carrying sticks at most, but Butcher Liu and the others were carrying butcher knives one by one. Jin Yiwei did not pay special attention to them.

Strange.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people fell down.

This time all the rioters who saw this scene collapsed.

They came here just for the money and benefits. When they came, they made good promises and said they were just here to collect money. They didn't say that the government would kill people.

Now, I was horrified to realize that this was not a way to collect people's heads, it was just a matter of giving away people's heads.

Especially the corpses in that place, these scumbags just took one look at them and turned around and ran away. As for the reward, it was not as important as their own lives.

"Woooooo, everyone, run away, the government is killing people, the government is killing people..."

Someone yelled piercingly, and even the people at the back who didn't see what was happening in front suddenly turned pale.

They are the people who are not doing their jobs properly in the city, are the easiest to be incited, and are also the most afraid of the government. Now when they hear that the government is killing people, every one of them can run faster than a rabbit.

Qiao Ling and the stewards of each house also collapsed at this moment.

After all, according to the instructions of their masters, all they had to do was lead a group of mobs to attack Li Huan and others, and if they had the chance, they would take advantage of the chaos and beat Li Huan to death.

Anyway, as a member of the government, when faced with so many people, they would not kill people casually.

But things went beyond their expectations from the beginning. Li Huan didn't kill people casually. He was a murderous maniac. So many people were shot to death as soon as they made any move.

There were two to three hundred servants of Qiao Mansion brought by Qiao Ling, and they were also the first group of people to rush to the front. However, at this moment, Qiao Ling discovered that among the two hundred or three hundred people, more than a hundred people died. It can be said that

Among the families, the family suffered the most casualties.

Especially when everyone collapsed and ran for their lives, Qiao Ling also instinctively turned around and ran away with the group of people.
