Chapter 574: Massacre of Osmanthus Village
Chapter 574: Massacre of Osmanthus Village
At night, Osmanthus Village was not peaceful, but rather a bit noisy.
Now, the whole capital was in turmoil. The impact of the 200,000-man army was enormous.
However, Guihua Village was not too chaotic. Dogs barked occasionally and chickens crowed on time.
The moonlight shines down, illuminating this beautiful village, and I just want to coax it to sleep well.
Yun Zhang and several maids quietly entered the village and returned to their home.
There is no need to say much about whether this is Yunzhang’s home. The yard is well maintained.
Ten years ago, Yun Zhang came here; ten years later, she came here again.
No one else in the Yun family was there, only the old lady was there.
In the moonlight, Yun Zhang seemed to see the old lady's gentle smile, welcoming her home.
Qiuju opened the door quietly.
Yun Zhang walked around from the front yard to the back yard, stood in the back yard, and bathed in the moonlight.
The night wind blows, and the old lady's voice is heard. The old lady's figure is seen by the door. The shadows in the yard are connected by the old lady's shadow. She has been here for forty years, integrating every bit.
The light in the kitchen was turned on again, and there were sounds of boiling water and cooking.
Although it was the hungry maid who was tossing and turning in the middle of the night, Yun Zhang could tell. Although a truly hungry person would not toss and turn in the middle of the night, they would dream about anything after a good night's sleep. But Yun Zhang did not stop the maid from tossing and turning. Anyway, this little noise was not considered disturbing at night.
Yunzhang was very familiar with the busy figure of the old lady. The old lady was also so busy in Yunlin.
However, she had promised the old lady to live to be a hundred years old, and she still wanted to act like a spoiled child in the old lady's arms. Although she was not young anymore, she was happy to do so. Yun Zhang could not catch the wind or the moon, but could only feel the cold.
It was very cold in the morning and some people were coughing due to the cold.
Qiu Ju, Qiu Ying and Qiu Chan were all very efficient at work, as they were originally maids. They found some millet and cooked a pot of millet porridge.
A few maids drank first. Sitting in the west wing and drinking millet porridge, it was very comfortable.
Dugu Yi also came to drink a big bowl of millet porridge. He always felt that the millet porridge in Guihua Village was particularly delicious.
This porridge still has the taste of the old lady.
Qiuju watched as the girl didn't eat yet and seemed to be gaining enlightenment under the moonlight.
Dugu Yi reminded them: "A group of thieves are coming over here."
Qiu Ju was extremely excited and asked the hero Dugu: "Who is this thief? What is your purpose in running here?"
Dugu Yi watched with his spiritual sense and said to the others, "It seems that they are holding people from Guihua Village hostage to deal with the girl."
Qiu Ju was speechless. They had used people from Guihua Village to deal with girls more than once. Why were they running here instead of running away?
Dugu Yi didn't think much about it, but he was paying attention.
There were about 300 to 500 thieves, some on horseback and some running. These thieves were running very fast, so they probably didn't come from Katsuragi County. The thieves gathered in Katsuragi County, but not all of them were there. The whole world was in chaos, and there were thieves everywhere. So one group came here. Another group followed behind them, a mob, wearing all kinds of clothes, but they were coming towards Guihua Village aggressively.
At the entrance of the village, a group of thieves stopped again.
The villagers heard the noise and got up.
The villagers struck the gong, and soon many people came out with hoes and kitchen knives.
The toughness of Guihua Village is probably known to everyone, young and old. They rely on this to maintain the peace of Guihua Village.
The thief stopped at the entrance of the village, not because he was afraid, but because he had a plan.
The leading man looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a dragon robe. He was none other than Xu Hong, the grandson of Princess Deping.
Upon learning that his grandmother had been murdered, Xu Hong was furious and headed towards Guihua Village.
There were many experts who came with him, who were no match for the villagers. Xu Hong even looked forward to the scene of them gathering together and killing each other.
Xu Hong said to everyone, "The daughter of the Yun family killed innocent people indiscriminately, and the heavens and the people are resentful! Now that God doesn't care, we will teach her a profound lesson! Beat her until it hurts! Next time, she won't be so reckless!"
Someone shouted excitedly, "Isn't it just death? I'm not afraid of death! Kill all the people in Guihua Village! Kill one to get back my investment, kill two to make a profit! After killing people in Guihua Village, we'll go to other villages!"
Countless people responded: "Okay!"
There were many more people gathering behind, already thousands!
Some hooligans shouted, "Kill them all! Loot them all! Do they deserve to live so comfortably? Emperor, I can do the same!"
Many people shouted: "Emperor, I can do it too!"
A group of people surrounded Xu Hong and shouted, "You should be the emperor!" Fanaticism!
Xu Hong was also very excited. Although he wanted to be humble, no one listened to him. He could do nothing about it as everyone expected him to be the winner.
The sky brightened, then darkened again. The wind was very strong and it looked like it was going to snow.
A large group of people were waiting at the entrance of the village, all very excited and hungry, just waiting to enter the village to grab food! Hand over all the steamed buns, pickles, and millet porridge!
Hundreds of villagers gathered, and women also came out with kitchen knives, mallets, etc. No one sat there and waited to be killed.
Many young men from all over the surrounding villages came to watch the fun, as many of them were relatives, and the common people were like one family.
Many people have practiced it before, and they look even more impressive when holding a stick. Some people didn't have time to eat early in the morning, so they just ate the steamed buns in their hands.
There were thousands of people gathered at the entrance of the village, and more people were coming from nearby.
Xu Hong looked at the good situation and the people's expectations, and was considering what to do best? After all, he was going to be the emperor in the future.
Many people are starving, but they also want more people. With more people, they can crush the enemy directly. Maybe they can become emperors in a few days. Then everyone will be made a marquis and have everything they want.
I didn't think about it when I came, but now I have to think about it. It was noisy and some people were looking for food everywhere.
At the Yun family, Yun Zhang was still standing in the yard.
Many people in the village sent their children here, and Yuanbao stayed at home to look after the children, but it couldn't be safer.
Qiuju was so excited that she wanted to rush out.
The eldest sister-in-law scolded her, "You are looking after the children, but you really let the girl look after the children?" The eldest sister-in-law rolled up her sleeves and said, "She can also kill bandits outside!"
We are all human beings. The girl is a human being, and so are others. The thieves are not, so anyone can kill the thieves.
All the children under ten years old were sent there, and the yard was crowded.
Some pregnant women came to see their children and were busy preparing food for them. The children needed food, and so did the adults.
They were busy carrying firewood and fetching water.
Outside, someone was curious: "What are you doing?"
The villagers were also preparing for the battle. Everyone must not act recklessly, as that would easily lead to accidental injuries. Everyone had practiced before, so now the arrangements were made quickly.
A village woman said loudly: "The goddess will bless the child."
A village woman responded loudly, "That's right. I heard that many villages in Wei State want to build temples for the goddess, so we will do the same when we go back. Anyway, we don't need that little bit of money, and the girl can study and learn something else."
An old lady was not satisfied: "A group of girls playing together every day."
An old lady also responded: "How many years can a girl last? When conditions improve, everyone needs to have some free time. People can't be busy all their lives."
