Chapter Ninety-Eight: Scuffle
Vice General Zhou dodged left and right in the woods, running faster than a rabbit.
As soon as they got up the hillside that Miss Xia said, the first wave of firecrackers revealed the location of the ambush, and Vice General Xia said that these people were bandits and there was nothing to be afraid of. But in a quarter of an hour's effort, a firework rose in the dense forest in the distance, and according to the agreement, this was Miss Xia who was rescued.
Vice Admiral Xia squinted and glanced there, then turned around and told him not to get separated.
Vice General Xia's kung fu is good, and he is also very good at managing the troops, but he is a little wordy. These ambushes are really vulnerable, Zhou Wei has been by his grandfather's side since he was a child, and he doesn't know how many battles he watched his grandfather and his second uncle fight. Since last year, his grandfather has made him a lieutenant, and he has fought a few battles with the team of the Southern Expedition, and he has also captured two cities, and he has just been promoted to lieutenant general last month.
Zhou Wei thought unconvinced: "I, the deputy general, also came from military merits, and you look like I am a gentleman who relies on Zu Meng to make rice." "At the beginning, Zhou Wei could still follow Xia Liuye closely. Later, he was so strong that he led the guards to pursue a group of retreating bandits with a Pu knife, and when he was seen by Deputy General Xia, he immediately shouted loudly to him to come back, and told him: "Let's rush out." We're not here to suppress the bandits, so leave them alone. ”
Zhou Wei looked at him stupidly with a knife, and Vice General Xia frowned and said, "Don't drill into the woods." At this time, firecrackers sounded in front again, and the second wave of bandits also appeared, and Zhou Wei heard those bandits shouting: "Snatch the princess's birthday gift, and the brothers can wash their hands in a golden basin." ”
Xu had previous experience, and this wave of bandits ignored the sound of firecrackers and just rushed forward. After a while, he and Vice General Xia were scattered, and he took the guards into the woods.
Then, he met the ambush soldiers of Xidu, these Xidu soldiers are really different from the soldiers of the imperial court, they don't seem to need a leader, a group of five or six people, as soon as they see them, they pounced, and he didn't want to retreat. But in the woods, his guards could not be used, and only three or four of the dozen or so guards could be closely protected.
At this moment, another firework was raised in the direction of the official road, and Zhou Wei was angry enough: "This Deputy General Xia is too cautious, but just after leaving him for a while, he recruited reinforcements, which is completely different from the previous plan." He also understood in his heart what Vice General Xia meant, this time his task was to escort Vice General Zhou back to Yanbei, and he didn't care how many enemies he strangled at all. As long as the person is delivered safely, his mission is completed. No matter how many enemies he killed, if Zhou Wei made a mistake, he couldn't make a mistake.
Although Zhou Wei was unwilling, he also rushed to the road with his escort so that he could join Vice General Xia. These Xidu people kept coming, and they couldn't kill them back, and the two guards around them were also seriously injured. Although he knew that eighty percent of the people had arranged more ambushes in the forest, he could only run in.
Xia Liuye, who was fighting on the official road, was also so angry that his face turned blue, and he said in his heart: "This Zhou Wei, relying on his father's cuteness, is just a matter of breaking in by himself, but it has affected my brothers." But he had to change his plan, set off fireworks to let the ambushed people come in advance, and he led people into the forest to find Deputy General Zhou.
Xiaoyu was originally lying on the tree to watch the excitement, and was stunned when she saw the fireworks in the air calling for help, and secretly thought: "I really heard the plans of these Xidu people, could it be that they deliberately let me listen to it and lie to me?" She didn't know that Vice General Zhou was missing, and thought that Xia Liuye was surrounded by people, so she felt uneasy. It's just that she is cautious, although she seems to be bold in her actions, but she is mostly planned.
At this time, although he had the heart to go down to help his brother, he was afraid of causing trouble for them, so he anxiously wiped his hands and looked at Luo Twelve.
Luo Twelve then said, "What do you have to say, big lady?" ”
Since Yang Baochen left, Luo Twelve wore the clothes of ordinary people, and followed her sedan chair not far away, although the two guests and hosts had never gotten along for a few days.
Xiaoyu said his worries, Luo Twelve climbed to the top of the tree and looked at the terrain, and thought secretly: "If it is according to the plan of the eldest lady, the sixth master wins, it is safe to hide here." If you lose, although this is not the center of the encirclement, it will be difficult to get out, so it is better to get out first while there is chaos. ”
Then he persuaded and said: "I see that the fireworks of the sixth master are on the left, let's mix them to the outside little by little, and then slowly go around, although it is far away, but it is safe." If you're lucky, maybe you can save the sixth master. If the situation is not good, it will be easier for us to run fast and escort you out. ”
Xiao Yu thought about it for a while and knew what he meant, and said secretly: "He's going to take me to slip away first, but he doesn't lose a way." Maybe I'm lucky, and I don't know if I bump into the sixth brother, but I won't see my brother if I stay here. So he discussed it with Luo Twelve, and he got off the tree and ran to the outside of Xidu's encirclement, while Luo Twelve followed on the tree.
You Chile suddenly saw Vice General Xia's sister appear in the forest and couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that there was no Bill beside her, he hurriedly jumped out from behind the invisible tree: "Why did you come out alone? ”
Deputy General Xia's sister looked at him blankly with her skirt, and the three Xidu soldiers who were with You Chile also walked out curiously, and only took two steps, a feather arrow broke through the air, and one of the slower ones was shot. You Chile hurriedly hid with the others, watching his companion fall to the ground, gasping for breath, and struggling a few times before moving.
Miss Xia also seemed to be frightened, and squatted on the ground with a scream and trembled: "It must be my brother, it must be my brother, he thinks I am dragging him down, and he wants to kill me first." ”
You Chile was not surprised, and kept looking around behind the trees. At this moment, a string of feathered arrows shot at Miss Xia, who screamed and crawled backwards, and several arrows were nailed to the ground in front of her.
You Chile secretly thought that Bordeaux said that he would threaten him with Vice Admiral Xia's sister, so he couldn't let her be killed. He didn't want to think about it, Vice General Xia was going to kill his sister at this time, how could they use this sister to threaten people later. It's just that between this lightning and flint, he didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively wanted to save Miss Xia, so he turned around and pointed to the left and right, so that the two soldiers next to him could go and save Miss Xia.
As soon as he rushed out and grabbed Miss Xia's arm and dragged her behind the tree, he heard a companion in front of him scream, and he didn't move again. Miss Xia looked at him pitifully, then shrunk into a ball, and cried incessantly, You Chile was afraid that she would expose their hiding place, so he hurriedly lowered his head and scolded: "Shut up!" The head peeked out from behind the tree, and a strong feather passed through his temple in an instant, and at that moment, he saw Miss Xia looking at him in horror and hiding behind. When he saw that she was out of the shade of the tree, he wanted to say, "Be careful!" but it was too late, and the darkness had already enveloped him.
Two people not far away heard the movement and touched reinforcements: "What's wrong?"
Xiaoyu said loudly in Xidu dialect: "Bordeaux asked me to pretend to be the sister of Vice General Xia, but I was misunderstood by our people and wanted to kill me." ”
Before that, the remaining Xidu soldiers were just about to speak, when someone silently touched him behind him and slashed his neck. He watched with some astonishment as his blood splattered onto the trees, and then his legs became weaker and weaker, and as he piled up on the ground, he heard his companion's voice drifting in the distance: "Don't move. He didn't know whether it was for Miss Xia or for himself, so he didn't dare to move.
Seeing that there was no movement around, the two Xidu ambush soldiers walked towards Xiaoyu, but after taking two steps, they were shot by two consecutive arrows. Xue Yu jumped down from the tree and pulled Xiaoyu into the bushes, and Luo Twelve hurriedly jumped down and followed. Xue Yu was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead jumped: "What are you two doing?" and turned his head to look at Luo Twelve: "You don't look at her well, what are you crazy with her." ”
Xiaoyu had never seen such an irritable Xue Yu, and when she saw his eyes wide and round, she couldn't help but be startled when she looked at him through gritted teeth. Hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I saw the fireworks of the sixth brother asking for help, did you see him? It hurts, don't pinch it, your arm is going to break." ”
Xue Yu glanced at her hatefully, and said in a low voice: "Your brother is fine, the guards around him are still there, but Vice General Zhou is gone." ”
Xiaoyu's heart that he had just put down lifted up again, and he thought: "Brother's task this time is to escort Vice General Zhou back to Yanbei, if something happens to Vice General Zhou, I'm afraid of ......."
Xue Yu pressed his hand on Xiaoyu's shoulder, as if this would make her obedient: "You just hide here, and when it's over, I'll come to you with your brother, don't run around blindly." Luo Twelve, if you don't want to protect Jiu'er, you can go to the front to help Vice General Xia, and I'll watch her here. Luo Twelve easily killed more than a dozen people, and he was still a little unconvinced, but after listening to the words behind him, he bowed his head and was silent.
Xue Yu led them to a small cave: "You two are hiding here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." As he spoke, he cut down a few branches and put them at the entrance of the cave.
Xiaoyu held her mouth unhappily, but she saw that he was covered in blood and sweat on his face. Although it was summer, the forest was still very shady, obviously he was tired from running around, so he swallowed back the words of the confrontation, and asked with concern: "You don't have any guards with you, be careful for a while, are you injured?" Why don't you let Luo Twelve go with you? I will hide here and not go out, I will definitely be fine." ”
Xue Yu was originally very angry, and just searched around for Zhou Wei, only to see the two of them playing in the forest. At this time, I saw her looking over from the crack in the branch with concern, her eyes were watery, and the anger in her belly had disappeared, although she still had a tiger face, her tone was a little kinder: "Don't worry about these idleness, just take care of yourself." Zhou Wei's kung fu is good, and self-protection should be no problem. ”
Zhou Wei, who should be fine for self-preservation, covered the wound on his shoulder and ran through the woods. It's also evil today, and the guards around me are getting fewer and fewer. If Chen Song hadn't asked Li Hu why he didn't help Jiang Guard, he hadn't noticed that Li Hu would have been a concubine of Han. It was a little late, as soon as he hesitated, Li Hu slashed him, if it wasn't for Chen letting go quickly, he would have cut off his arms. R1152
