Chapter 2 Hunt and Kill
A little more than a month later, a battle was going on in the forest path leading to Anseong, an important border town connected to the Great Repair Country. A group of seven-rank masters were besieging a ten-man battle formation of 10 people, including three people and two children, one of whom was still in the arms of a man with a sheep's beard. This is the general and two children who escaped from the left servant of the military department Li Yan's mansion a month ago, after just leaving the city, Fan Rufeng sent Li Huai to investigate, who knew that Li Huai, who had just left and returned shortly after, brought back the news.
Li Yan, the left attendant of the military department, collaborated with the enemy to commit treason, the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and the whole family had been executed. Except for them, there is no one alive. looked at the little boy in his arms and the eldest boy who was tired and asleep beside him. Fan Rufeng sighed for a long time in his heart, Zhendong Hou was all in his hands, and the master's heavy responsibility was entrusted, which made him sweat slightly.
After clasping his hands, he finally decided to go to the border of Ancheng, although it was inevitable that he would be chased by the Bird Feather Guard, but this was the only way to survive. Zhendong Hou is a single line, Li Yan, who participated in many wars with Hou Ye when he was young. After the country was peaceful, after the death of the Hou Ye, he abandoned the martial arts from the text, three yuan and the first, picked the flowers, and because of the knowledge of military affairs, he was in politics for ten years, and at the age of thirty-two he had already done the left squire of the military department, and the court was a member of the three grades, and the future could be expected. If it weren't for this matter, it would only be a matter of time before he became the elder of the Middle Pavilion in Shangshu Province in the future. The DPRK Chinese both military and military, this is the only one. This is also the reason why the emperor made up his mind several times and gave up.
Anseong is the place where the lady's home is located, and it is also the place where Zhenxi Hou is now suppressed. Zhendong Hou and Zhenxi Hou joined the army in the same year, and in the same army, the two sympathized with each other. Later, because of the merit, he was the marquis of Zhendong, and the other was the marquis of Zhenxi, who suppressed the east and west sides for the imperial court, and then they no longer saw each other, but they pushed their children to Yunjing City and got married. Ten years ago, the Hou of Zhendong died due to a recurrence of an old injury, and Zhenxi Hou entered Beijing to pay his respects, which re-established a very close relationship.
Now, from the tired expressions of the people and the blood stains in their clothes, it can be inferred that the people have been fighting for a long time, and there are several corpses scattered in the forest not far away.
The leader in Jinsong's costume took out a yellow edict from his arms at this time. "Everyone, don't struggle, there is nothing to be done, just hand over the child in your arms to me, and I will definitely keep you safe, and there is a clear edict here as proof. ”
"An Zang, no need to say it again, we won't hand it over, little master, let's see the real chapter under our hands. Fan Rufeng said strongly.
"I know that you sent Li Huai from the former Shaowei Battalion to Ancheng in advance, but since you are so stubborn, then don't blame me, time, it's not on your side. After speaking, he took the Weeping Blood Sword from his subordinates and rushed straight into the battle array.
After a stick of incense, the original 10-person battle formation has become a 7-person battle formation. And all of these 7 people were injured. In the array, there was only Fan Rufeng, holding the little boy in his arms, and the eldest son Shaotian with the other hand.
"Hmph, toast and don't eat and drink, don't keep your hands anymore, kill me", after An Zang withdrew, he looked at the sky and gave a new order.
Although the 7 people survived the war, the battle array of the art of war is not lost to anyone, and the battle array formed can barely compete with the masters of the 8 grades, but at this time, it is still far from enough to play with the people in the rivers and lakes with dexterity and skill, and it is also necessary to maintain the people in the battle array. If it weren't for the way they played in the army, they would have lost their lives at this time.
There was another fight, Fan Rufeng's heart tightened again, and he silently closed his eyes. After the Hou Ye retreated to Yunjing, Li Rinyan was alone, and he had no worries, so he resigned from his official position casually and joined the Hou Ye as a general, and he was the most relied on by the Li family. It's just that he never thought that this time he would fall here.
An Zang looked at the fallen Li Rinyan and sighed slightly in his heart. Fifteen years ago, Li Rinyan defeated Beiyu with the Zhendong Hou, and the class returned to the dynasty, how young and vigorous, it can be said that he was recognized as one of the successors of the Zhendong Hou at that time. For a moment, after this sigh, he still looked at the remaining 6 people on the periphery of the battle array.
The earth shook suddenly, and an arrow galloped towards it, and An Zang suddenly bent down and swung his sword and knocked the arrow flying, but although the arrow was knocked away, its momentum did not decrease.
"Poof" "Poof", the two good hands in the Finch Feather Guard were instantly pierced by arrows.
An Zang stood up instantly.
"Nine products". Say these two words in surprise. An Zang is already on the eighth grade, except for Ding Dian, the commander of the palace guards, who is the ninth grade, there is no ninth grade in Yunjing, that is, the eighth-grade master, and there are no more than three. I didn't expect there to be a nine-rank master here.
"Don't do anything, retreat", An Zang instantly gave the order to retreat.
Finch Feather immediately withdrew from the battle and quickly withdrew.
And Fan Rufeng and the others did not relax their vigilance, and still maintained the state of the battle formation.
It wasn't until Li Huai appeared that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
... ...
A day later, under the escort of the avant-garde battalion, a group of people came to the border town of Anseong. After settling down everyone, Li Huai followed Fan Rufeng to the guest hall and met Xia Shengjiang, the town of Zhenxi, an important town in the border of Weizhen, and his son Xia Bohao.
After Fan Rufeng entered the guest hall in the lobby, he greeted him with a big salute, "Meet the Hou Ye", and then bowed his hand and said, "Little Hou Ye".
"Well, sit down, I don't know anything about things in the capital, now that you have arrived, make it clear to me. Zhen Xihou said.
After taking their seats. Fan Rufeng opened his mouth and said, "Master Hou, the cause of this incident is because of the birth of the little son. ”
"What, the birth of Xiao Er" Zhen Xihou frowned, turned his head and glanced at Xia Haobo.
"Yes, Master Hou. When the little boy was born, there were 33 bird's buckle birds flying and circling around the house for a long time, so the adults asked me to take the two sons out of the city immediately. We were then hunted down by the Finch Guards. So we made a roundabout journey and made several reroutes to Anseong, but in the end we still did not get rid of the Bird Guard, and met in the forest. ”
"If it weren't for An Zang, who was also born in the military, and had the love to kill the enemy together in the war with Beiyu, he wanted to spare our lives and capture the little boy alive, with his temperament and skills, we might not be able to keep the two sons coming. ”
"What are you talking about, 33 finches?" Zhen Xihou and the little marquis Xia Bohao had already stood up.
"Yes, Master Hou, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. If it weren't for this, how could the Li Mansion be baptized in the blood of the Bird Guard, and we would not be chased and killed by the Bird Guard. Fan Rufeng also stood up and said.
Zhenxi waited for a while, and the room was quiet for a long time.
"I know" Zhen Xihou sat down slowly, and said again, "I know, it's just, it's a pity for Li Yan and my daughter." ”
"You stay here, now in Anseong, the Bird Guards can't come in yet, but future assassinations, I guess it's indispensable, and I will protect your safety. I still have 100,000 troops stationed here, and this is also my fiefdom, so Your Majesty cannot attack me for the time being. ”
"Also, when your injuries are better, I will arrange for you to live in a secret place, not in the mansion. ”
"Hao'er has now entered the ninth grade, and it is the ninth grade that has entered the battlefield by fighting, not something that can be resisted by idle people, and those who can be Hao'er's opponents are at least nine grades. I will send Hao'er with you. ”
"Hao'er, you should understand that it's time for us to pay the price in advance," Zhen Xihou turned his head to Xia Bohao and said.
"Yes, father. When Xiao Er was born, 33 finches were around, which has proved that Xiao Er is the choice of heaven. I know what to do. Xia Bohao faced his father and arched his hand.
"Okay, you go and arrange it. Turning around, he said to Fan Rufeng, "You guys go down too, I'll let Hao'er arrange it as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, follow the arrangement of the Hou Ye" Fan Rufeng and the others left.
