Chapter Twenty-Four: Fighting to the Rescue

Without further ado, the prince and the servant immediately hurried south. However, the trail is rugged and difficult, and it is not easy to walk. So, they all the way to the guards of the Puwang Mansion who were scattered by the attack, and quietly bypassed a post road that the thieves were strictly guarded by. At this time, there were already dozens of them, and they seemed to be unbearable, but in fact, they were not seriously injured, and everyone could fight again.

Without hesitation, Wang Zixian immediately ordered the people to continue their journey south with him. The guards of King Pu's Mansion showed a little hesitation, and one of the captains bowed his hand and said: "The king is now blocked by thieves on the post road, I don't know what the safety is, how can someone as a guard of King Pu's Mansion abandon the king?" Wang Langjun is now letting a certain group go south, and it is difficult for a certain group to obey his fate-"

In fact, the prince is just a white body, and he does not have any power to instruct the guards and subordinates of the Pu Palace. Most of the people in King Pu's Mansion looked at the face of the King of Xin'an County, and they treated him so politely. Otherwise, the lieutenant could have taken the people and walked away, and he didn't have to follow his arrangement.

He also knew that everyone was worried about Li Xin, so he glanced at them lightly, and his sharp eyes carried a prestige that was difficult to disobey: "Don't forget, what is the purpose of the king's trip?!" Now there are hundreds of guards around the king, but the waste prince's family only has more than a hundred parts to protect him! The target of the assassins is not the king, but the deposed prince! If something goes wrong with the abolished prince, is there still room for the Pu Wang family to turn over?! We have traveled all the way from Junzhou and experienced hardships! The two kings, King Pu and King Xin'anjun, both trusted us very much, so they asked me to follow King Pu, how could we disappoint the three kings! ”

The lieutenant was stunned, immediately sobered up, and said with a fist in shame: "But it is sent by Wang Langjun!" ”

"The thieves took advantage of the chaos and caused our horses to go missing. Although the pavilion is now close at hand, if there is no horse to help, dozens of us will rush over, and it will only be to die. The prince said, "For the sake of the present, it is to take the horse first!" If a clever horse rushes at us, we don't have to go back and grab it. ”

Just to stop them, the traitors sent nearly a hundred people, and the number of people besieging the pavilion will only be even more. If you want to win more with less, you can't just act with one heart. It is needless to say that the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry and infantry in hand-to-hand combat are needless to say. If they can ride horses, even with dozens of them, they can fight a bloody way to help the abolished prince and others break through, and it is easier to completely disrupt the opponent's encirclement.

He hoped that there would be no one in charge of the current group of rebels who were responsible for stopping delays, and no one would think of the importance of horses. In this way, it is impossible to say that when the frightened horses come by and run wildly, they will let them all go in a hurry to avoid any injury.

Qingsuo and Cao Shilang carefully inspected the horseshoe prints on the post road, and then knelt on the ground to listen carefully for a while, and said in a low voice: "Ah Lang, there are indeed dozens of fresh horseshoe prints, the hoof prints are light and messy, not neat, and should be uncontrolled!" ”

Maybe this is the destiny of heaven, it is destined that the family of the abolished prince should not die here, and the Pu Wang family should not be implicated again. Wang Zixian thought in his heart, and Li Hui's reluctant smile suddenly appeared in front of him-the little county king is not suitable for worry at all, only when he talks and laughs, he is most comfortable. Previously, he had thought carefully about how he could repay his sincere kindness? Perhaps, being able to keep him at ease in the future is the only thing he can do for him.

The group soon found horses grazing grass on the side of the road, enough for each of them to gallop. However, in order to prevent the thieves from discovering their whereabouts, the prince ordered the people to tear off the corners of their robes and wrap the horses' hooves tightly, and then continued to ride their horses south. This place is not far from the pavilion, and the strong smell of blood gradually spreads, making everyone's expressions more and more solemn.

When the fire-lit pavilion could be seen in the distance, the prince took the reins of his horse and carefully observed the current situation:

Clusters of corpses and arrows all over the ground, mud mixed with blood, bubbling around the pavilion, like a battlefield on the frontier. This pavilion is very remote, very poorly built, the mud wall has long since collapsed, and there are mutilated corpses lying on the top, and the building behind it has been ignited by rockets, and it is about to collapse when you see it.

Hundreds of thieves dressed in brown screamed and rushed into the pavilion, bypassing the burning building and attacking the stables at the back of the courtyard. The subordinates of the abolished prince Li Song tried their best to stop them, but they were already invincible, and they fell down one after another.

Obviously, the family of the waste prince is hiding in the stable, and they are in danger! At this time, I can't care about any schemes, and it's the most important thing to rescue them quickly!!

"Kill!!" Wang Zixian immediately gave an order, and more than forty light horsemen stabbed out like sharp blades. He rushed to the front with a bow and arrow, straight into the direction of the stable, and the guards of the Pu Wangfu followed him, methodically releasing the arrows. However, after two or three rounds, their rain of arrows cleared nearly a hundred rebels. By the time the leader of the rebels reacted, they had already rushed into the pavilion, drew their horizontal knives one after another, lowered their bodies and slashed and swept, and once again harvested the lives of many thieves!

"By the order of King Pu! Come to greet my father and my cousins!! ”

"By the order of King Pu! Kill all the traitors! Welcome to my parents, mothers and cousins!! ”

The prince shouted, rode his horse and trampled on the corpses on the ground, and finally came to the stable. The few wasted princes who were left were in front of him, nervously guarding against him. He stopped approaching, stood still in place, and said loudly: "A certain prince of Langya, on the order of King Pu, came to greet him!" I wonder if my husband and his family will be okay?! Li Song's family is now a commoner, and it is inconvenient to call him, so he simply calls him "Mr".

"Grandpa, my brother is really here!" There was a coughing sound in the stable, and a young man about the age of the crown was seen slowly walking out with a slave in his hands. He has a pair of phoenix eyes that can be called a royal symbol, and there is an undisguised look of surprise on his face: "Is my brother okay?" ”

"After the king broke off, he was fighting with the traitors." The prince bowed to him, "I wonder what is the situation with you?" But there are still the sick and wounded? Easy to ride? The inn has burned down, and the fire is about to prolong, and the stables are really unsafe, so it is better to move to another place. ”

"Grandpa's leg is injured and he can't walk." The young man, Li Song's eldest son, Li Ju, smiled gently and replied, "The younger sister is young, frightened, and is asleep. As he spoke, Li Song, who looked like a middle-aged scribe, helped the slave limp out slowly. This waste prince has had inconvenient legs and feet since he was a child, his complexion is pale like a long-term sick person, his whole body is gloomy, and when he looks at it with heavy eyes, he actually has a chilling feeling.

The prince was unaware of it, and saluted him again.

Li Song looked at him coldly, and was about to speak, when the sound of breaking the wind suddenly sounded - it was too late to say that it was too fast, and Qingsuo and Cao Shilang, who had been dedicated to the prince, suddenly pulled out their horizontal swords, danced impermeable, and strictly blocked this rain of arrows.

Wang Zixian seemed to react at this time, and looked back: "I don't need arrows, but there are no arrows available." Now with arrows, it should be that the person who stopped the king failed and retreated. As long as you block this offensive, you will be safe. ”

Sure enough, after three or two rains of arrows, the traitor stopped fighting and turned and fled. Wang Zixian was not in a hurry to catch up, and ordered the guards of the Pu Wangfu to immediately escort Li Song's family out of the stable and come to the post road to rest. As soon as everyone was settled, the devastated building collapsed completely, the fire burned, the wood crackled, and the smoke and dust billowed up.

Xu is recent experience is too dangerous, Li Song's family looked at the ruined building a little numbly, and even the female relatives did not react.

Wang Zixian asked the captain of the Pu Wangfu to return along the post road with three or five people, go to report to Li Xin, and inform the direction of the thief's escape. But after a few moments, the ground suddenly shook, and then the sound of horses' hooves thundered like thunder.

Li Xin took the lead, galloped over, and quickly turned over and jumped off the horse. He glanced at the prince with complicated eyes, and then saluted Li Song and his wife Su: "My nephew is late, can my father and mother be okay?" ”

"It's too late. Wait a little while and a half, I will be stabbed to death, and your grandfather will probably be able to laugh out loud in his sleep. Li Song smiled coldly, he didn't have a good face for him, and what he said was full of heart-wrenching words, and he didn't have any gratitude for being rescued at all.

However, Su treated him as kindly as ever: "Wang Langjun came in time, and we are all safe." However, the luggage was left in the building, and it is likely that it has long since been destroyed by the fire. "At that time, in order to avoid the traitors and rockets, where could I care about any gold and silver, and it was already blessed by the gods and Buddhas to be able to escape in a hurry. Now that the danger has turned into safety, the female relatives are all messy and dirty, which makes them feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mother rest assured, my nephew has sent someone to the nearest eunuch's house to buy cloth and ready-to-wear." Li Xin pretended not to hear Li Song's words, and only responded to Su Shi with a smile. He had always been careful, and when he received the news from the prince's donor, he divided his troops into three ways: dozens of men immediately explored the way, looking for suitable temporary dwellings and purchasing daily necessities; Two or three hundred men continued to pursue the traces of the traitors, and several of them were captured alive; The rest of the people followed him to meet him. As for Jin Wuwei, he can no longer be trusted and must keep his distance.

"Brother." Li Ju also smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

Li Xin looked at him with emotion and gently patted his shoulder: "We can be regarded as meeting, and my uncle misses you very much...... Are you sick? It's still beforeβ€”"

Li Ju shook his head: "Just lie down a little longer, and it doesn't hurt to recuperate for a while." The healer who accompanied him was killed by the traitor, and he had not drunk medicine for some time. ”

"So, this isn't the first assassination today?"

"It's the third time. However, the first two times there were only a few dozen people, and it looked like a rabble, but it was not as well-trained as this one. ”
