Chapter 71 Throwing Manure
The daughter of the Yan family, noble and incomparable, should have been kept in seclusion, never touching water.
But here he was beaten by a group of vulgar guards.
Just because the prince said that women should not make things difficult for other women.
Just because she promised the prince that she would take care of Chen Yunniang's affairs.
She is really a unique and different girl.
Seeing him staring at her hand, Yan Shierniang shook her hand pretending to be nonchalant and said, "I'm fine. Have you hidden Yunniang? It looks like they are really going to come into the city to rob people."
She put her hands behind her back and carefully pressed the injured area, and she groaned in pain.
Afraid that Han Xing would find out and laugh at her for being afraid of pain, she straightened her back even more.
Han Xing whispered, “Don’t worry, Chen is with Master Cheng, they will never snatch her away!”
"Where is the prince? Ask him to come back quickly."
"I have already arranged for someone to report the news. No matter what, we must hold on tonight."
The word "we" from Han Xing's mouth made Yan Shier Niang in a good mood. This guy finally recognized that she was his companion, not someone who needed his protection.
Han Xing and the Yan family were guarding the city gate, but they didn't know that the Zheng family was looking for another entrance into the city.
The border town was too dilapidated, the walls were short, and there were broken walls everywhere, so it was easy to find the entrance.
But Han Xing and Cheng Yu knew the border town very well, and they had arranged guards in all the places where there were gaps.
As luck would have it, Huo Zian, who had just joined the Tuntian Army's Jiaofei Squad, also joined this battle, which was simply ridiculous to him.
He and his teammate, a man named Niu Da and nicknamed Dave, were guarding the same gap.
This Dave speaks unclearly and you have to listen carefully to understand him.
Although they had only worked together for two days, Huo Zian discovered that this person had a simple mind, a mild temper, treated people with sincerity, and loved his family very much.
He talks about his wife every three sentences and can use her as a metaphor for everything.
He talks a lot, and if you don't stop him, he will keep talking. Huo Zian was speechless at first, and then listened numbly.
Even when the two of them were using dung shovels to clean the dry toilet, the stench was overwhelming and Huo Zian was suppressing the urge to vomit, he was still able to speak calmly.
And what he said was: "This woman's shit is really stinky, unlike my wife, who never poops stinky shit..."
Huo Zian wanted to scream to the sky, "Oh my God, please just give me a quick death!" As long as I can escape from that lunatic King Li and the border town full of lunatics, I will do anything! His silence was recognized by Niu Da in a strange way: "Haha, you are such a good person, other people don't like me. From now on, you will be my good brother!"
After being considered a good brother by Niu Da, he was invited to have dinner at Niu's house, and Niu Da's wife, who could only be considered not ugly, prepared a special meal for him.
I went to Li Da Wuxian Restaurant and got a bowl of Dongpo pork to go with the beef.
As a piece of meat entered his mouth, Huo Zian forgave Niu Da for his nagging throughout the day.
Unexpectedly, the next day, after only digging manure for half a day, the two were urgently assembled and assigned the task of guarding the city wall.
Because everyone was afraid of Huo Zian's identity as an assassin, afraid that he would stab them in the back at a critical moment. Only Niu Da was very loyal and wanted to be in a team with Huo Zian.
When distributing weapons, he even gave the newest dung shovel to Huo Zian and kept the one he had used for ten years.
Huo Zian: ...
I haven't fought with a dung shovel since I was eight years old.
Could this border town be any more outrageous?
When the Zheng family rushed over, Huo Zian wanted to use his identity to intimidate them. It would be even better if he could get in touch with the Zheng family and ask them to deliver a letter to Prince Yu.
Finally, he said: "I am a cavalryman of the Duwei Mansion, not a member of the Li King's army."
He was interrupted by the Zheng family thugs: "I don't care whether you ride a horse or a donkey, you are all dogs of the court and you deserve to be beaten!"
As they were talking, more than a dozen people rushed up, and Niu Da screamed and stood in front of Huo Zian with a dung shovel.
At this moment, Huo Zian had no time to contact the outside world and could only guard the gap in the city wall with Niu Da.
He used the dung shovel in his hand like a spear and beat a dozen people without them being able to fight back.
Niu Da took the opportunity to run away, picked up two dung buckets, scooped up dung water with a dung shovel, and poured it on the Zheng family.
Then Huo Zian saw that this group of Zheng family thugs collapsed. They were screaming and yelling at first, but now they didn’t even dare to open their mouths.
There was feces all over his head and body, and it poured into his mouth as soon as he opened it.
More than a dozen people were drenched by falling feces. That scene, wow, anyone who saw it would know that it was a lifelong nightmare!
It's worse than falling into a cesspool! The Zheng family thugs stopped rushing in and all ran back.
In a fight, the Yan people are not afraid of fighting with knives, but they can't stand being splashed with shit! Huo Zian looked at their running backs and couldn't help laughing, sweeping away his previous depression.
How should I put it? Being a night soil collector does make me want to die, but seeing others being drenched in shit is a completely different feeling.
Niu Da was a very loyal man. Seeing that the manure water could drive away the enemy, he quickly picked up two more buckets to help his teammates next to him.
Huo Zian also joined in, and as a result, this group of "seed cleaners" made half of the city wall stink.
Fortunately, the effect was good. In any case, the Zheng family guards did not dare to rush to the place where the dung shovel was held.
When the Zheng family’s first plan failed, they came up with another one, which was arson.
Shoot fire bows at the city from a distance. If the city catches fire, the people in the city will definitely rush out and take Chen Yunniang away in the chaos.
As a result, God protected the border town. As soon as the fire was set, the wind direction changed.
The thick smoke blew all towards the Zheng family. What's more, there was a patch of fire grass near their base, which caught fire as soon as it caught a spark.
The border town did not catch fire, and Cheng Yu calmly directed the efforts to put out the fire.
Instead, the Zheng family was burned into chaos and retreated, and they no longer dared to attack with fire.
After a night of chaotic defense, the Zheng family failed to break into the city.
Han Xing looked at Yan Shier Niang, who had been trying hard to keep her eyes open all night, and then looked at the Zheng family members who were furious in the distance.
As for those garrison troops who were holding out, he didn't want any casualties. If the prince handed the border town over to him, he would hand it back to the prince without missing a single person.
Chen Yunniang must be protected, Yan Twelve Niang must be guarded, and the border town must remain intact until the prince returns.
Han Xing came up with a plan and whispered to Yan Twelve Niang, "Let's leave quickly while they are off their guard."
Yan Twelve Niang glared at him angrily: "My word is as good as gold. I will never leave until the Zheng family leaves!"
"When my eldest brother comes back, I will chase these bastards from the Zheng family away!"
Han Xing didn't have any temper at all, and explained in a low voice: "I mean, you take Chen Yunniang with you."
"Don't go into Yanzhou City, run to the beach, the prince is there. Only after you leave, we can free our hands and feet to drive away the Zheng family."
Yan Twelve's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely protect Yunniang."
I can see the prince!
Han Xing took her to see Cheng Yu, and without waiting for Han Xing to persuade her further, Cheng Yu agreed to the plan.
Because in Cheng Yu's view, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life to protect Yunniang.
But he didn't want anyone else to lose their lives because of this. What if the Zheng family ignored it and some border soldiers died because of this?
Even if he could stay with Yunniang in the future, they would both feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
