Chapter 19: Disaster from the Sky
Inside the bumpy carriage, the travelers were already drowsy, the mountain road was winding, and the official road became a mountain road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The two carriages have been traveling for two whole days, and as long as they cross this mountain range, they can go from the Huiguan Road to Kyoto.
Qi Yuan Mountain, the name of the place where the carriage passed.
If you want to rush to Kyoto from Linshan Town on the border of the country, Qiyuan Mountain is the only place to pass, on the other side of this mountain range, there is a huge canyon, that canyon, is a natural barrier that separates the country of Pu and the country of Qi.
Qi Yuan Mountain is a branch of the Wanheng Mountain Range, some people who go to business will tremble whenever they pass through Qi Yuan Mountain, in recent years, it is said that there are often mountain bandits haunted, passing by the rich and noble families here, so they have disappeared I don't know how much.
When the Cheng family came to Linshan Town through Qiyuan Mountain six years ago, it was just an ordinary barren mountain range, and today, six years later, countless pairs of violent eyes have appeared in the depths of the deep mountains.
Wow!
The horse let out a miserable roar after being strangled to death, the carriage shrugged back and forth violently, and the huge inertia lifted the people in the carriage up, Xu Yan, who slept soundly, only felt a pain in his head, and on the other side, Cheng Linyun was even more knocked and screamed.
They sat across from each other and happened to bump into each other.
The carriage that stopped urgently represented the crisis of the situation, and Cheng Yu asked in a low voice while helping his wife up, "What's the matter?"
"My lord, the bandits robbed the road. ”
The groom who was driving had just said a word, and the sound of the arrow breaking through the air had arrived.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
There was no exclamation outside the car, there are not many people in the Cheng family, but all of them are very stable, these people have followed Cheng Yu for many years, and they are loyal servants of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning.
Xu Yan's ears moved, and he heard the sound of the tail of the feather arrow trembling.
The arrows did not kill, but were all stuck in the ground in front of the carriage.
"Wanheng Mountain, Qi Yuanling!"
"Yuan Shanzhai, Great King Order!"
"People can get by, but money can't be done!"
The chanting outside the window was not a nursery rhyme, but the black language of the bandits, and it was obvious that there were many bandits who robbed the road, and they were violent.
The old man's eyebrows furrowed tightly, Cheng Yu's heart was like a lightning flint thinking about countermeasures, and after a while, his face began to become more and more gloomy.
Because of the chaotic footsteps behind the two carriages, Cheng Yu's family was completely surrounded by mountain bandits.
Sighing, Cheng Yu squeezed his hands fiercely, and then stepped out of the carriage.
At this time, no less than three or five hundred people had gathered around the carriage, all of them with steel knives in their hands, and at the head of the team was a man eight feet tall, with more than a dozen scars on his face, which looked twisted and hideous, like a fierce god.
There are only six or seven descendants of the Cheng family, plus Cheng Yu's wife and Cheng Linyun, there are only nearly ten people, facing hundreds of mountain bandits, no different from lambs to be slaughtered.
Looking at the bandits behind him, Cheng Yu pointed to the second carriage and said, "The property is here, it belongs to you, the first carriage is the old man's family, let it go." ”
As soon as the old man spoke, the driver of the second carriage and several subordinates immediately jumped out of the carriage and protected the first carriage.
Property is nothing, for Cheng Yu, ten thousand dollars are just a cloud of smoke, and when he returns to the capital, will Zuo Xiang be short of money, and the most important thing is to keep his family safe.
"It's a pleasure. ”
The bandit led by him laughed evilly, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen mountain bandits immediately rushed to the second carriage, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were like poisonous snakes staring at the girl in the car door.
"Since I met a happy person today, I will also give you a good time with my flying centipede. ”
The cold steel knife was raised in vain, pointing at Cheng Linyun in the carriage, and the mountain bandit nicknamed the Flying Centipede said coldly: "Leave her behind, you can go." ”
There was anger in the old man's eyes, Cheng Yu was so angry that he trembled, and the old woman in the carriage hugged her granddaughter deadly, and her old face turned white.
The Cheng family is not afraid of robbing money, but if the other party wants to rob people, it will be a disaster from the sky.
"Don't think!"
As if the voice roared from between his teeth, with six years of depression, the old man's gaze began to calm down, and his straight back was like a pine.
The prime minister, who is over sixty years old, is no longer afraid of life and death, he can bear the reputation of a traitor for the future of thousands of Li people, he can also let the world point fingers behind his back, he can even go to death, but he can't abandon his family, especially his granddaughter who grew up.
Boom!
The steel knife was out of the body, and the subordinates of the Cheng family took out their weapons one after another, showing their posture, and their faces were resolute, and some people shouted: "My master is the prime minister of the left side, you dare to act recklessly!"
These servants are the descendants of the Cheng family, and they are also loyal servants of the Zuo Xiang Mansion, who have already sold their lives to the Zuo Xiang family, and they are not afraid of danger one by one.
"Left Phase?"
The bandit leader with a scar on his face laughed, swept the steel knife in his hand, and shouted: "In these years, no name can compare to the knife in your hand, with a knife in your hand, you are the emperor Lao'er and what is it! We are bandits, since you are officials, then let me die! The taste of the official lady, our brother has tasted it today!"
The smile suddenly turned cold, and the flying centipede Liao Jiuming roared angrily: "Anyone who shows the sword, kill them all for me!"
Kill!!!
Dozens of bandits shouted and pounced under the leadership of a strong man like an iron tower, there were only a dozen or so people on the opposite side, and six or seven with weapons, there was no need for all the bandits to come out together, fifty or sixty people could easily deal with the opponent.
The subordinates of the Cheng family did not exclaim, nor did they retreat, in the face of the bandits rushing in the tide, they didn't even shout, they just stabbed in silence, dodged, and stabbed again, behind everyone, they were deliberately protecting the corner of the carriage.
Cheng Yu had been pushed back into the car by the servants, the old man's face was very bad, the old lady and Cheng Linyun were even more pale, and the fifteen-year-old girl's small body was trembling.
She had never experienced this kind of change, this kind of change that was related to her own reputation and life and death.
On the side of the carriage, Xu Yan, who listened to the shouting of killing outside the car, was always silent, and his delicate eyebrows were always frowning.
Soon, the muffled sound of the steel knife entering the flesh began to appear, there were injured bandits shouting and shouting, and there was red blood spilling all over the car window, and soon after, the movement outside the car gradually became smaller, and Xu Yan also stood up.
In the surprised eyes of the Cheng family, the little Taoist priest pushed the car door and jumped out.
Outside the car, it's bright red!
Six of the seven Cheng family members were hacked to death, and one of them was lying in a pool of blood with his wounds covered, struggling with a hideous face to get up and fight again.
These subordinates of the Cheng family all have some skills, but the number of enemies is too much, and they also hacked to death more than a dozen mountain bandits, and in the end they are still drowned by the mountains and the sea of swords.
The little Taoist priest who walked out of the carriage provoked those red-eyed mountain bandits to raise their steel knives and rush over again, and before they could get closer, Xu Yan jumped to his feet and shouted: "I'm a passerby! I don't recognize this family! The donors are merciful!"
Passing?
The mountain bandits who rushed to kill suddenly paused, you look at me, I look at you, and then laughed.
"Take a carriage, or passing, you liar!"
"Good sell!Hahahaha, boy, you have a future!"
"This grandson is so scared to death, he didn't pee his pants, haha!"
Facing the ridicule around him, Xu Yan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a flustered look in his eyes: "I, I'm a wandering Taoist, it's just a ride, a ride." ”
As he spoke, Xu Yan seemed to remember something, pointed to the Taoist robe on his body, and said very seriously: "Really, I am really a Taoist priest!"
"There is no Taoist temple in Qi Yuanshan. The flying centipede glanced at the little Taoist priest and said, "There is only Yuanshan Cottage here." ”
"Taoist cottages are all the same, you can eat a full stomach. Xu Yan smirked twice.
"If you want to live, it's not difficult!" The flying centipede laughed fiercely, raised his hand and threw out the steel knife, pointing at the Cheng family who was not dead yet and was struggling in a pool of blood, and said, "Kill him, you will be from my Yuan cottage." ”
