Chapter 232 Melee
Chapter 232 Melee
But before Xu Shu could say anything, Xiao Ran's large army rushed down the mountain.
The county magistrate Xiao Ran was in pretty good physical condition and was able to run down the mountain carrying Qin Lianxi just like Xu Shu.
But he forgot at first that Xu Shu's house had been bombed, and he took a detour, so it took him some time to get to Wu Yong's house.
Seeing so many people gathered in front of Wu Yong's house, Xiao Ran, who was already extremely anxious, immediately got angry and ordered: "Clear them all, and those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy."
The guards dared not disobey and immediately drew their swords and began to drive the villagers away.
The villagers did not dare to confront Xiao Ran's men head-on, but there were too many people and it would take some time to clear them all out.
So when the situation was chaotic at the back, Aunt Bai at the front was still pestering Xu Shu.
Xu Shu tried to explain to them as patiently as possible, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard a gunshot behind him.
The noise was so loud that the commotion in front and behind stopped immediately.
The guards behind had seen the power of the gun in Mu Jinghua's hand, and they stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Aunt Bai and the others were completely frightened.
Because Mu Jinghua's shooting skills were very accurate, and he was not as good-tempered as Xu Shu, he did not give everyone time to react and shot off Aunt Bai's ear with one shot.
Mrs. Bai realized the pain later and screamed.
But the people around were so frightened by the inexplicably thin yet aggressive figure standing behind Xu Shu that they dared not make a sound and could only take half a step back.
Mu Jinghua frowned and scolded, "Don't shout."
Mrs. Bai didn't dare to scream anymore.
The air was unexpectedly quiet.
Mu Jinghua walked slowly to Xu Shu's side. The wound on his hand had been bandaged by Qi Huairen, but it was torn again due to the shooting. The blood quickly dyed the originally pure white bandage red. The strong smell of blood made him look very scary.
Even Qi Huairen couldn't help but stand there in a daze, looking incredulous.
Xu Shu just sighed, looking helplessly at Mu Jinghua standing beside him, his voice full of doting: "Why are you so anxious? The wound has split open again. Does it hurt?"
Mu Jinghua held out his bleeding hand to Xu Shu with grievance, but stared at the people who dared not breathe: "I don't know how to talk properly, I can help you cut it off."
Shen Guang called out "Brother Mu" in surprise.
Mu Jinghua ignored him.
Xu Shu didn't care about these things. He had no idea what to do with Mu Jinghua's wound that started bleeding again. He was about to turn around to ask Qi Huairen for help when Xiao Ran's guards behind him finally came to their senses and said, "Get out of the way. Is Doctor Qi here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ran rushed out of the crowd holding the dying Qin Lianxi.
Qi Huairen is also very busy.
Fortunately, Qu Xiu reacted quickly. He was not as respected as Qi Huairen, so naturally no one would flock to him. His legs were short and he could not keep up with the large group. He squeezed for a long time before he finally got in.
What he was most worried about was naturally his fellow apprentice. But when he squeezed in and saw three wounded soldiers, he was also stunned: "What's going on?"
Of course no one paid any attention to him.
Xiao Ran had already rushed to Qi Huairen and asked him to check Qin Lianxi's wound. Xu Shu was a step slower. Seeing Qu Xiu, of course he was unwilling to let him go: "Look at your junior brother, he's still bleeding."
Qu Xiu had rushed back because he was worried about his fellow apprentice, and didn't care about anything else at the moment.
Poor Mrs. Bai, whose ear had fallen off, was so frightened that she stood there stupidly, not daring to even breathe.
However, people from the Bai family soon arrived. When Miss Bai saw her mother in this state, she didn't care how terrible Mu Jinghua was and just cried and threatened to hang herself.
The girl from the Bai family is pretty, and usually the men in the village are willing to coax her, which has cultivated her habit of crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide at any time.
But no one paid any attention to her at this moment.
Xiao Ran disliked her being too noisy, so he sent people to kick her out, and also dispersed the villagers who were watching the fun.
Xiao Ran had been to Shiqiao Village several times. The time when he was a bandit left the deepest impression on the villagers. Naturally, they all recognized Xiao Ran as the big boss of the town.
They didn't dare to fight with the master, and finally remembered that Xu Shu was a man with a backer, so none of them retreated like quails with their heads shrunk.
But at this time, the group of people at the village entrance who were clamoring for Mu Jinghua finally couldn't bear it anymore and chased after him.
Obviously, even if Qiao Jianhong betrayed Xiao Ran and Qin Lianxi, his demands on his soldiers remained the same.
The harsh words they had just uttered were obviously just to intimidate the villagers. Even if the villagers did not bring Mu Jinghua back at the agreed time, they had no intention of killing them all.
But they all rode tall horses and their momentum was intimidating.
Although Xu Shu just felt that the noise was giving him a headache.
Especially at this moment, Qiao Wan and her friends, who had been fooling around somewhere, also came back. Of course, the soldiers under Qiao Jianhong recognized the second young lady, and some competitive soldiers immediately wanted to knock Qiao Wan unconscious and take her away when she was not paying attention.
But Qiao Wan is not someone you can easily mess with, and Xuan Er is even less so.
No one knew who started the fight first, but someone shouted, "Kill!"
Suddenly, Xiao Ran's soldiers, Qiao Jianhong's soldiers, Qiao Wan and others, as well as the villagers who were caught in the middle and did not have time to leave, started fighting together.
The scene was very chaotic for a while. Xu Shu was a person on the periphery of the battlefield. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly took the gun from Mu Jinghua.
Fired a shot into the air.
It's useless.
Xiao Ran came back to his senses and looked at him, then looked at Qin Lianxi: "Doctor Qi, it's too messy here, let's go inside."
Qi Huairen sighed, but did not refuse.
He is just a doctor, and his job is to save lives and heal the wounded.
As for the rest, he is too old to take care of it.
Seeing that his master had left, Qu Xiu wanted to follow suit.
However, Mu Jinghua's injury was not as serious as Qin Lianxi's, and he had almost treated it, so Xu Shu just asked him to take Mu Jinghua into the house.
Mu Jinghua was not happy.
He was very happy to see the chaotic scene before him, and of course he was reluctant to miss such a good show.
He had good hearing and when he heard the voices of Xuan Er and Qiao Wan, he couldn't help but have evil fantasies about someone coming and killing them.
As for Qiao Wan, he naturally couldn't bear to kill her with his own hands, but he would be very happy to see her die in an accident.
Died in an accident.
What beautiful four words.
Mu Jinghua's eyes sparkled.
Xu Shu had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't want to go back, he didn't urge him. He just took the gun in his hand and fired three shots into the air.
The three shots in succession did have some effect. At least Qiao Wan and Xuan Er understood what he said, and immediately gave up the melee and followed the sound of Xu Shu's gunshots.
When the soldiers of the Qiao family saw that Qiao Wan was about to run away, of course they didn't care about anyone else and just ordered that their young lady must be brought back no matter what.
They had the strongest fighting power, and they stopped doing anything. The villagers finally found a chance to escape, and they ran very fast.
The Xiao family's guards looked back and couldn't see their master, so they stood there in a daze.
So the situation escalated again.
The hundred or so people sent by Qiao Jianhong, each well-equipped, were rushing towards Qiao Wan in unison.
Qiao Wan was being pulled by Xuan Er towards Xu Shu and Mu Jinghua.
