Chapter 150: Calamity
In the early morning of this day, Yan Gang, the eldest young master of the Yan family, waved his three-foot long sword in his courtyard as he did on weekdays. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoSince he was a child, he was determined to emulate famous generals such as Huo Quzhi and Chen Tang, and for the sake of national merit, he carried a three-foot long sword and led the army to eliminate the barbarians who dared to come to attack the strong.
Now he is in his twenties, although his early ideals have gradually transformed into the peace of the Baoyan family, he is still diligent in practicing martial arts, and is proficient in marksmanship and swordsmanship. So although he is very young, he is also an outstanding talent among the subordinates of Zhonglang General Gongsun Chan, and he is very trusted by Gongsun Chan. Gongsun Chan has a group of elite soldiers trained by himself, called "White Horse Yicong", who are all masters of some good bows, and are the trump card troops of Gongsun Zhan's expedition to the east and west. And every time Gongsun Chan attacked, he almost let Yan Gang lead Bai Ma Yicong as his striker, which shows the degree of courage of this Yan Gang.
In one breath, he swung out a set of fierce and abnormal swordsmanship like flowing water, and the sword momentum was like a rainbow, destroying the withering and decaying, which made people shudder.
"Good!"
"The eldest young master's swordsmanship is superb, rare in the world!"
After he finished dancing the swordsmanship, a few small people beside him couldn't stop applauding, Yan Gang smiled and inserted the sword back into the scabbard, twisted his neck in satisfaction, and made a "creaking" joint sound.
"Big young master, it's not good!" A servant suddenly ran in from outside the courtyard in a hurry, he was covered in sweat and panting, it could be seen that it was caused by the running of power, and when he saw Yan Gang, he immediately knelt on the ground.
"What's so alarming?" Yan Gang asked puzzled.
"Officers and soldiers! There are many, many officers and soldiers who have surrounded our Yan Mansion! The servant trembled, and his face was as pale as paper, not knowing whether he was tired from running too fast or frightened.
"Officers and soldiers? What's going on? Yan Gang glared angrily, he was now full of suspicions: the little lady who entertained the prince a few days ago, it stands to reason that the Yan family should be able to calm down for a while, why did officers and soldiers suddenly come?
The servant knelt on the ground and couldn't stop panting, listened to Yan Gang's question, and hurriedly replied: "The little ones are not very clear, but those officers and soldiers are very fierce, and a few brothers outside the mansion were about to reprimand them a few words, they drew their swords and said...... He also said......" He slurred his sentences, obviously not daring to continue.
"What else did you say? You just have to say it bluntly, Young Master Ben doesn't blame you. Yan Gang frowned.
They also said...... If you dare to resist, you will be killed! ”
"Kill?!" Yan Gang's eyes widened, the officials and troops surrounded his mansion, and said that the resisters would be killed, and he had already smelled the breath of crisis.
"You guys, you didn't have any conflicts with those officers and soldiers, did you?"
"Back to the eldest young master, the younger ones originally planned to reprimand a few more words and let them go back. But those ruffians are very vicious, and their weapons are very sharp, looking at their momentum, the little ones are only afraid...... I'm afraid that they are real, so no one dares to act rashly. ”
"Hmm...... Well done, tell the brothers at the gate of the house that they must not have any direct confrontation with those people. Yan Gang felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates not to do it lightly, so as not to expand the situation. This is a very serious matter, and he has to go to his father to discuss it.
Yan Gang came to the main hall in a hurry, but saw that Master Yan was already sitting in the first place, and several uncles and younger brothers of the Yan family also arrived, and everyone's faces were calm, obviously something was wrong.
"Father!" Yan Gang strode into the hall.
"Gang'er is here...... Okay, sit down first. Master Yan waved his hand lightly, allowing him to sit at the top of the front seat.
"The old man knows, you all want to understand why the officers and soldiers surrounded our Yan Mansion." Master Yan said calmly, not too worried.
"Father, I'm afraid this matter is not trivial!" Yan Gangfa asked: "Our Yan family has already handed over weapons and food, does the little lady dare to say it without trust?" Isn't she afraid that she will act so arrogantly and provoke the anger of the people? If it triggers the resistance of all the scholars in Youzhou, then King Luling, no matter how prominent his status is, will not be able to gain a foothold in Youzhou! ”
"Gang'er, calm down." Master Yan scolded him softly, and Yan Gang immediately closed his mouth, but his eyes were still full of anger.
"This matter is not related to that Mrs. Rong." Master Yan said.
Everyone was shocked: It wasn't Mrs. Rong's hand? Could it be that some general in the city did it? If it weren't for Mrs. Rong, no one in Liaoyang City would dare to be rude to the Yan family, not to mention that he still led troops to surround the Yan Mansion, which bold person did such a serious thing?
Master Yan continued: "Not long before the officers and soldiers came, the old man had already received the news that the prince was attacked by a group of masked men on the way back to Liaoyang City. ”
Yan Gang grew his mouth and didn't say a word: Who dared to act like this? Attacking the army on the way back with the prince is no longer an assassination, it is simply crazy! Fighting head-on with the prince's army, that was something that Yan Gang didn't dare to think about.
"The old man heard that the prince was injured, but the injury didn't matter. However, the prince's soldiers were killed and wounded by dozens of people, and those assassins did not leave a single one, and all committed suicide after defeat. ”
Speaking of this, everyone gasped, feeling weak, and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat.
"The prince must be very angry, hey...... It's no wonder that after encountering assassination several times, even the most amiable person will definitely be angry, right? It's a pity that our Yan Mansion was listed as the object of suspicion by the prince early on, and the first two assassinations, even women like Mrs. Rong were suspicious of our Yan family, not to mention our wise prince? Master Yan sighed.
"The first two assassinations, although they ...... with our Yan family" Before Yan Gang finished speaking, he was frightened by Master Yan's fierce eyes, and he choked after only halfway through his words.
"Gang'er!" Master Yan said coldly, "Although this is our Yan Mansion, but the wall has ears, and there are some things that you should not talk nonsense about." ”
“…… The child knows what is wrong. Yan Gang bowed, which was counted as an apology.
The reason why Master Yan didn't let Yan Gang continue to talk was that everyone here was the backbone of their Yan family, although they were all trustworthy people. But now that the Yan family has been surrounded by the prince's soldiers and horses, they must be cautious and cautious, otherwise, it will be a major event that endangers the lives of tens of thousands of people up and down the Yan Mansion.
They did send Assassins in the past, and the first two assassinations were related to their Yan Mansion, but the Yan Mansion was not the only one to send Assassins. And this time the assassination of the prince really has nothing to do with the Yan family. It's just that, no matter what, if you dare to assassinate the prince, as long as you find out, the Yan family will definitely not be protected.
"Who could it be? Dare to attack the victorious prince, isn't this self-defeating? Yan Gang slapped his thigh angrily, he was very annoyed: no matter who it is, doing such a stupid thing can already make the prince hurt is already a miracle among miracles. But no matter how stupid the other party is, now that they are implicated in the Yan family, Yan Gang is naturally very angry.
"These things are not something that people of our identity can suspect, everything has its own prince to investigate." Master Yan said.
"Father, but are we Yan Mansion willing to sit still and wait for death?" Yan Gang asked unconvinced, "There are thousands of people in our Yan Mansion, plus the people who have been taken in in the past two years...... It's not difficult to get together 10,000 people! ”
"Shut up!" Master Yan changed color, and several uncles of the Yan family also objected in unison. "Young people after all...... The blood is strong, but remember not to be rash! Master Yan advised.
"Gang'er, do you think that with our Yan Mansion's family members and retinue, we can compete with the thousands of people of the prince?"
Yan Gang listened and lowered his head, he still knew very well how much strength the people in his house had. Although some of the family members in the house have practiced martial arts, compared to the troops of King Luling, it is the kung fu of the three-legged cat. What's more, they are regular combat troops, and the slaves and homeless people at home are just a group of people who are trying to make a living, how can they be enemies of the iron-blooded troops who crusade against the Yellow Turbans and defeat Xianbei?
"Lord Wang...... He is always the biological son of the current saint, that is a person with royal blood, even if he wants our Yan family to perish without any reason, can we say no? No matter how chaotic the world is, we can't do that rebellious thing! ”
"Well, the kid understands." Yan Gang replied cautiously, and he had no confidence in his heart.
"Hmph, if you understand." Master Yan snorted coldly.
"Then ......" Yan Gang was still a little unwilling, "Do you want the child to find a way to contact Lord Gongsun Chan in Yi County?" Let General Gongsun Chan intercede for our Yan Mansion? ”
Master Yan sighed in his heart: his eldest son is too upright, and although he is a fierce general, he is obviously not suitable to be the head of the Yan family.
"Brother, you are confused," the second son of the Yan family said, "Since the prince has surrounded our Yan Mansion, how can you let us pass on any news?" What's more, wouldn't that make the prince suspect us even more and set himself on fire? ”
Yan Gang glared at his second brother dissatisfied, but he felt quite reasonable in his heart.
"What your second brother said is right," Master Yan also said, "At the moment, we must try our best to behave deferentially, and we must not let the prince have the slightest dissatisfaction, otherwise, if we provoke the prince, don't say that it is General Gongsun Zhan, even the old lady of Gongsun Yu will not be able to protect our Yan family." ”
“…… Hmph, that old fox in Gongsun Domain, I'm afraid that after he returns to Liaoyang, he will fall into trouble for our family! Yan Gang said with a cold face.
"......" Master Yan stopped talking, he didn't have a better way at the moment, as long as the Yan family made every move, he was afraid that it would fall into the eyes of King Luling, so any rash move would only give people a handle and kill the Yan family.
"Then the Tian family?" Yan Gang's face became more and more difficult to look at.
"That's natural," Master Yan nodded, "Presumably their family has also been blocked by the prince at this moment...... This time, if the prince is determined to do it, our Yan family and Tian family are afraid that they will not be able to escape the disaster. "Master Yan is actually more worried than anyone else, the assassination of the prince was something he didn't expect at all, but it brought ruin to the Yan family.
"That'...... Could it be that we can only sit back and die? Yan Gang squeezed his fist and hit a few cases on the side, he was already a little short-tempered, and the feeling of being controlled by others at the moment made him even more angry.
"Leave it to fate." Master Yan closed his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart: Everyone in the world should have an opponent who can be restrained...... So, who will be able to restrain the prince and save their Yan family?
"Lord Zhang An and Lord Li Min ask to see the master!" A subordinate ran in to report.
"Li Min, Zhang An?" Everyone in the Yan family was discussing: That's the general on the prince's side, what will happen if he asks to see his master at this time? But I am afraid that it is not a good deed.
"......" Master Yan sighed helplessly: Now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, what will happen to the two generals? He couldn't refuse these two at this moment, so he left it to fate.
"Go, sentient two!" Master Yan commanded.
