267. The Dead
Bai Lang listened to him tell the story of his family in a faint voice, only to realize that this unusually beautiful young man had a more bumpy life experience than himself, and he looked like a proud son of the sky, so he had to experience upheaval at such a young age.
He couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you get home?"
Chu Shaoyuan smiled lightly, "During a martial arts test, my younger brother found out that I looked like my father, and I went back to tell my father before taking me home." ”
Sometimes he looks at a room full of hypocritical people, and his heart is as cold as if he is in an ice cellar.
Bai Lang shook his head: "Your Abba is not as good as my Abba Abba , at least he won't throw me into other tribes casually, no matter what, he is also his son." ”
Chu Shaoyuan smiled and didn't speak, he couldn't see through whether his father's attitude towards him was good or bad, if it was pampering, then why did he keep him in Xia Mansion for so many years, if he didn't care, why did he spend so much effort to take himself by his side, teaching himself how to control the political situation one by one? Sometimes he was always puzzled when he looked at such a father, just like reading a book, more and more doubts were waiting for him to find out.
"In this case, you can't go back," Bai Lang said in a low voice, "There must be someone in your family who wants to kill you, your current situation is very dangerous, if you go back rashly, I'm afraid you will go to see the gods before your injuries are healed......
Bai Lang's words seemed to have an omen, as soon as he finished speaking, the carriage galloped wildly, as if the horse was frightened, and ran forward, Bai Lang immediately sat up and opened the curtain to look outside, the coachman who drove the car was his cronies, and the horse pulling the carriage was his mount, so it stands to reason that there should not be such a mistake.
The coachman saw Bai Lang poking his head out, and hurriedly said: "Master, enter the carriage quickly, there is an ambush in front, we have to rush over to get to Yanmen Pass." ”
Bai Lang frowned, he had obviously changed to the official road, how could there be a killer ambush on the official road?
"Adjust the direction of the carriage, let's rush over!" Bai Lang shouted loudly.
The coachman hurriedly sped up, fortunately the horses pulling the cart were very strong, and the killers on the official road were a little frozen and stiff because of the snow these days, and they were a little frozen and stiff after lying in ambush for a long time.
Listening to the sound of "dang chang", a steel knife sticks to the scalp of the coachman into the car wall, and the coachman sighs in his heart, fortunately he flashes fast, otherwise this peerless good head will move.
The people who came this time are different from the previous batch, these people are not masked, and the clothes they wear are made of Sanjiang cloth with three taels of silver and one horse, and the average killer will not be willing to wear such fine clothes as materials when they do it, they act in an orderly manner, and their skills are also very vigorous, not like killers, but like dead soldiers raised at home.
"It seems that someone is unwilling to kill you. Bai Lang looked at him and said this.
Chu Shaoyuan's brows furrowed, are these people from the Wei family or the Gu family? Or is it from someone else? I just met Xiao Qing just now, which means that the news of his disappearance has been transmitted back to Yunfu, and the Wei family still dares to send people to kill him in such a big way at this time, aren't they afraid of the wrath of their father? Or are these people sent by the Wei family's opponents to plan to kill two birds with one stone?
In short, no matter who the manpower is, Bai Lang is right, his current situation is indeed very worrying.
The horse pulling the cart was cut in the leg and foot by the knife, and had to stop, and more and more people rushed over, and the steel knives that shot and killed them were all the kind of tricks that did not kill them, even if they were all killed, they would kill their group.
Bai Lang and the coachman kept resisting the attacks of these people, protecting Chu Shaoyuan to the fullest, and all the steel knives that slashed at him were caught by Bai Lang and the coachman, and the two of them cooperated seamlessly.
Chu Shaoyuan lay steadily in the car, Bai Lang was not injured, he responded flexibly, and stabbed the steel knife that was constantly chopping into the heart of the dead man in a few clicks, the further he went, the more dead the man, Chu Shaoyuan looked out from the cotton curtain on the car door, it was black, wearing the same clothes, and the moves were similar, he didn't know how many people came, he only knew that there were only eight people in the car, and there were three of them seriously injured, and they definitely couldn't resist so many people.
The walls of the car fell apart in the fierce fighting, the wind blew from all directions, Chu Shaoyuan was cold and tight, he looked at Bai Lang's martial arts with one enemy and four enemies, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if he hadn't taken himself, maybe he would have gone out of the customs and returned to their Tatar Department a long time ago, but now he was going to die here with him......
He took a deep breath, and saw a steel knife slashing from Bai Lang's diagonal back, and Bai Lang was busy dealing with several people around him, and he didn't have time to react, Chu Shaoyuan struggled up, and as soon as he grasped the steel knife, his fingers were instantly bloody, and he raised his uninjured leg and kicked the incoming person.
Bai Lang Yuguang saw his movements, and his surprise rose, he didn't expect that this young man named Chu Yishu would help him block the knife, he moved even faster, and knocked several people who came up one by one, and a sharp sound like a whistle or something came out of Bai Lang's mouth, three long and one short blows several times.
Suddenly, hundreds of strong men emerged from the other side of the official road, and they joined the battle one after another, Chu Shaoyuan's eyes flashed, these people he remembered, they were the group of people who helped Bai Lang retreat the killer in the post station, he secretly felt funny, and it was also said that Bai Lang, the heir to the throne, since he dared to run to the territory of the enemy country in such a grand manner, how could he not have the soldiers accompanying him?
He closed his eyes again, just now in a hurry he used his hand to hold the knife, the wound on his hand turned out the flesh and blood, at that time I didn't feel it, now that the courage is scattered, the pain is gradually spreading, it is really using flesh and blood to block the steel thing......
The situation on the scene was charged, Bai Lang hurriedly went to check Chu Shaoyuan's injury, looking at the flesh and blood on his fingers turned out, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, such an injury showed that he didn't think about it at that time and used his hand to catch the knife, and at the moment he had a better impression of this beautiful young man in his heart, he took out the medicine powder he had with him to help him apply the medicine.
"We can't take the carriage anymore, there may be an ambush ahead, we have to hurry out of the customs, can you hold it?"
The wound on Chu Shaoyuan's hand was stopped by the medicine powder he put on, although it still hurt tightly, but he could endure the injury more severely than this, not to mention such a small wound, he nodded.
The corpses were scattered on the official road, Bai Lang said a few words to those strong men who didn't know what they were, and the strong men threw the bodies into the small river ditch on the side of the official road, covered them with a large area of dry grass, and hurried to Yanmen.
And Xiao Qing had just left Youzhou at the moment, and after a night of driving, she finally saw the shadow of the 100,000 army at the border of Youzhou, she immediately cheered up and went to the front of the march, when she saw the big "Xiao" word military flag, she almost burst into tears, she handed the letter to the herald, and before long, the herald brought her to Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei was dressed in cyan armor, and when he saw that it was Xiao Qing, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Qing'er, why are you here?"
Xiao Qing simply said the changes in Yunfu, and then talked about meeting Xiao Pei before, and couldn't help but say urgently: "Big brother, before I came, Daddy asked me not to act rashly, and I discussed with you first, so I couldn't help but dare not recognize the second brother, but the second brother looks extremely injured, and those people seem to be very strong in martial arts, how can we rescue the second brother?"
Xiao Wei soothed: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, you tell me what those people look like, so that it is convenient for my people to rescue." ”
"Big brother, I'll go too, I know them, you row a team of people and horses for me, they ride in a carriage, not as fast as me to ride a horse, and they can stop them in a day at most. ”
Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Qing's bloodshot eyes, and the black blue under the eyes, knowing that she had come after a night of sleep, and said in a deep voice: "You go to sleep for me, don't worry about it, Pei'er and I will think of a way to rescue him." ”
After saying that, I couldn't help but hand her over to the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately levied a carriage to come over, she barely closed her eyes this day, and at the moment people were sleepy and tired, seeing that the eldest brother was so determined, he thought about it, and finally lay down on the carriage and fell asleep.
Chu Shaoyuan rode Bai Lang's war horse, did not take the official road again, but turned a very steep and difficult road, but very close, all the way in a hurry, during which he only rested for two hours a day, and finally arrived at Yanmen Pass a day later.
Due to the long time of traveling, the injuries of the three of them collapsed, and the injuries became even more severe, Chu Shaoyuan endured the pain and looked at the merchants and pedestrians coming and going in Yanmen Pass, his eyes narrowed.
He thought about it for a day and a night, but he still felt that it was very bad to go out of the customs at this time, and the situation he had just opened up might have dissipated with him leaving the customs, and he looked left and right at the pedestrians, how could he let the gatekeeper find out his identity and leave him behind?
At this moment, he was disguised by Bai Lang's men, his face was covered with a layer of liquid that he couldn't tell what it was, in short, he looked like a weak man who worked hard all year round, Bai Lang was followed by more than a hundred people, all dressed like this, saying that the caravan was going to the customs of foreign merchants, and the car was also loaded with a lot of porcelain and silk, which looked decent.
Chu Shaoyuan was lying on his back, the wounds on his body were painful, he limped forward, and suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran to the position of the city gate, as if he was saying something to the gatekeeper, he was far away, and he didn't really hear it, only intermittent words came from the air.
“…… Pioneer's younger brother...... Corpse...... Strictly inspect the customs clearance personnel...... Don't let ...... go"
Intermittently, sounding as if the pioneer officer's brother was dead and wanted to investigate the murderer's intentions, the gatekeeper waved his hand to signal that he understood, and then the line began to slowly loosen again.
Chu Shaoyuan squeezed the jade jue in his arms in the palm of his hand and walked forward slowly.
