Chapter 27 Book Pavilion Battle
Lu Yuan, along with a few barefoot team members, walked gently into the yard.

They were all barefoot and controlled their walking strength, so they walked into the attic without making any footsteps at all.

The three team members were paying attention to the surrounding situation nervously.

There is no special arrangement here.

There is a big banyan tree planted outside the attic courtyard, and there is also a rockery.

There is an attic in the yard.

There is a plaque on the pavilion with the words "Qingping County Library" written in large characters.

It seems that this is a place where books are stored.

In ancient times, books were extremely precious things.

This county library must have a large collection of books. If we find the right person to sell them to, it will definitely fetch a lot of money.

Even in these troubled times, fewer people read books, and the value of books has dropped a lot.

But a book is not available to only the wealthy.

When Lu Yuan and several soldiers saw the library, their expressions did not change at all.

In troubled times, when people can’t even get enough food to eat, how many people would learn to read?

Only the wealthy and powerful can do this.

Therefore, except Lu Yuan, none of them could read, and they did not recognize any of the words written on the plaque.

But Lu Yuan recognized these words.

I know there are books here.

But books can't be eaten.

He is now in the midst of a rebellious army. If he gets these books, who can he find to exchange for food?
This Zhao Zheng would definitely not send him to a place like a granary.

Several people stepped over the threshold of the attic quietly.

A light laugh came from inside the room, causing Lu Yuan to tighten his grip on his spear.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw it in the attic.

A man wearing rattan armor of an officer and holding a fine iron spear was sitting upright on a stool.

There were two standing soldiers on the left and right, each holding a long sword, looking at the three ragged soldiers with a mocking look on their faces, and even the leader didn't even have a complete set of armor.

There was contempt in their eyes.

At this time, the man sitting on the stool stood up. He dropped the fine iron spear to the ground. With a "clang" sound, several team members' hearts jumped.

The opponent's spear must weigh more than twenty or even thirty pounds. Anyone who can wield such a fine iron spear must be a strong man.

The enemy they are facing this time is extremely strong.

The man holding the fine iron spear glanced at Lu Yuan and the other three and said with a smile:

"Just a few of you rioters? You dare to send them to my place? I beat Zhao Zheng up last time. Did I make him stupid?
I was wondering if he would dare to come again, but I didn't expect that he would send you guys to die here?"

This person couldn't help but laugh.

Because a brigade of the Tianxing Army was causing chaos here, he was sent here by Zhiyuan Prefecture along with Gu Quchang to guard Qingping County.

The last time the remnants of the Tianxing Army in the mountains caused chaos, they stole a lot of things from their county town.

But his place is as solid as a rock.

Zhao Zheng, along with a few other men, fought with him for dozens of rounds, leaving behind a personal soldier before he escaped with his life.

Now, these rebel troops attacked the county town again, and he did not go out to check the situation, but just followed Qu Chang's order and guarded this place.

Now, despite the deafening shouts and cries of killing outside, there were only three pale, hungry and skinny rioters here. They were obviously refugees recently recruited by the rebel army.

He glanced at the rotten leather armor on Lu Yuan's body and the spear in his hand, and said:
"These things on you were all looted from our soldiers when we attacked Qingping County last time, right?
It seems that you have the blood of my Qu army soldiers on your hands. If so, I will kill you with my own hands and help my brothers in Qu to avenge themselves. "

After that, without waiting for the four rioters to say anything, he picked up the spear, rushed towards Lu Yuan, and stabbed him hard. Lu Yuan's mind was always on the man holding the fine iron spear, and he didn't respond to any of the other person's words.

It was not until the opponent came to attack him that he picked up the spear with both hands and blocked it upwards.

The wooden body of the spear was scratched by the fine iron spear, but the fine iron spear was also blocked by Lu Yuan.

The fine iron spear swept across again, and Lu Yuan picked up the spear and thrust it outward again.

The fine iron spear was pushed away again.

"Pong~!"

"Pong~!"

"Pong~!"

The two sides soon started fighting, from inside the attic to the yard outside the attic.

The two officers and soldiers also fought with Lu Yuan's three team members.

"boom!!".

The officers and soldiers holding fine iron spears fought with Lu Yuan again, then took a few steps back to distance themselves from him.

He changed his initial contemptuous attitude and looked seriously at the thin rioter in front of him.

Then he said in a deep voice:
"I didn't expect that among the bandits under Zhao Hu's command, there would be a person like you. If we only fight with strength, you are actually as good as me."

He fought with his opponent for nearly ten rounds, but didn't gain any advantage at all.

Although the opponent's fighting skills are still a bit immature, his reaction and combat instincts are extremely strong.

Moreover, he discovered that the other person was so thin and looked like he had not eaten for many days, yet he had such tremendous strength.

Even if he just tried his best in strength, he couldn't do anything to the other party.

Lu Yuan glanced at his own spear. The wooden spear had been pierced with several scratches of varying depths by the opponent's fine iron spear. Some parts were even cracked a little by the force of the fine iron spear.

Sure enough, this spear is still a little lacking.

He looked at the man holding the fine iron spear without saying a word.

He probably had a good idea of ​​the opponent's strength.

In terms of strength alone, he is much inferior to me.

Even if the opponent was using a fine iron spear, the threat to him would not be that great.

As long as he acts carefully, he may be able to kill the other party.

He raised his spear, pointed it at the opponent, and made an attacking gesture.

The officers and soldiers holding fine iron spears were also on high alert at this time.

He knew that if he didn't use his full strength, a single mistake in this life-and-death battle could lead to him being killed by the opponent.

He shouted loudly:

"The rebels are brutal and cruel, they burn, kill, rape and plunder, they commit all kinds of evil, everyone should kill them!
My two brothers, quickly kill those three rioters, and work with me to kill this bandit leader!!”

At this moment, he had completely acknowledged the other party's strength.

He was ordered by the governor of Zhiyuan Prefecture to guard this place and Qingping County, so he would not think of fighting anyone in a duel.

The shouting and screaming outside became louder and louder, and he heard many cries of his colleagues and brothers.

Qingping County is now extremely dangerous.

He had long heard of Zhao Hu's cruelty. If Qingping County was captured, the people of the county would be devastated and sent into purgatory.

He must not act on impulse at this moment.

Although he only had two soldiers under his command, he had the absolute upper hand in the battle against the three rioters. Therefore, he shouted to his two men to quickly deal with the three rioters and come to help him.
