Chapter Forty-Six: Attack on a Rainy Night
Qingtong silently left the room, walked to the corner of the back of the house, and looked at the sugar gourd but his eyes were red. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info took a bite, well, sweet and sour.
In fact, his favorite snack is sugar gourd, since his mother's death, he has never eaten the sugar gourd that his mother bought from the vendor passing by at the entrance of the village.
He looked back at the room and silently said in his heart: Thank you, Sister Zhan.
Zhan Ying said to Jing Shang: "Yasukuni's various types of grain are quite sufficient, but the distribution is too uneven, resulting in high grain prices in some places. ”
Jing Shang said: "If you want to solve the problem, it is simple, I have traveled to many places, and the biggest reason for the high grain prices is the closed household registration system in Yasukuni, and the transportation is controlled by the government, and the land transportation is also because of the strict household registration system, there are too many cards, and the transportation is slow. ”
Zhan Ying thought thoughtfully: "If the household registration system is liberalized, we must solve the problems of unequal population and uneven land... It is also worried that criminals will wander to other places, making it more difficult to arrest them. ”
Jing Shang smiled: "You yourself are in such a situation, are you still worried about the country and the people?" ”
Zhan Ying herself didn't lose her smile, indeed, she was thinking too much, could it be that she still had a chance to change the national policy?
After dinner, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and tonight it should be the first spring rain of the year. Jing Shang was worried about the rain on Zhan Ying's road, so he sent someone to prepare a carriage to send Zhan Ying back.
Halfway through the carriage, it rained heavily, first with raindrops the size of three or three or two beans, and then with a torrential rain, smashing on the carriage like beans constantly spilling on it, crackling. At this time, it was just after dark, and because the rain was so heavy, there were no pedestrians on the road.
The car was driving forward smoothly, and suddenly there was a violent shock, shaking Zhan Ying to the side, and her head hit the side of the carriage hard, she sat upright with her head on her back, and was about to ask the coachman, but she saw that the coachman had fallen into the car from the outside, covered in blood, and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
Zhan Ying was startled in her heart, and looked out of the car, but at this time, a black-clothed masked man came over and hurriedly said to her: "Miss Zhan, there is a killer raid, you sit in the car and don't come out easily!" After saying that, he flew into the grappling in front of the car.
Zhan Ying lifted the curtain and looked out, five people were fighting in the rainstorm, three of them faced Zhan Ying's direction, obviously looking for an opportunity to come to the carriage, while the other two cooperated tacitly, dragging the three of them to death, not allowing the other party to have a chance to withdraw.
Zhan Ying didn't know where the two sides came from, but she was sure that the two were protecting her, and the three people on the other side were definitely going to be against her.
Looking at the current situation, the two people who protect themselves are slightly better, but after all, there is one more opponent, and it is unknown if there are variables at any time.
It was not very far from the camp, and one of the masked men shouted to Zhan Ying while waving his sword: "Miss Zhan, you hurry up and leave first!" Fast! ”
Zhan Ying looked at this situation, it was definitely no problem for the two of them to protect themselves, the target of the other three was her, and she became a burden to the two of them here.
She sat in the original coachman's seat, picked up the whip dropped by the coachman, grabbed the reins and lashed at the horse, the horse galloped forward in pain, Zhan Ying controlled the direction with the reins, and looked back, the three opponents saw her driving the carriage away, and the moves became more and more aggressive, one of them decisively withdrew, tapping the ground with his toes, and ran towards Zhan Ying's side.
Zhan Ying whipped the horse even harder, but the speed of the carriage was still not as fast as the opponent's light skills, Zhan Ying saw that the other party was only a few feet away from the carriage, and if she was on the carriage, she was inconvenient to use her hands and feet, so she jumped off the carriage directly, and the huge inertia made her roll forward on the ground for more than a dozen rolls, and the killer had already stabbed with a sword, and she rolled sideways again, which could be avoided, and the sword stabbed into the air. She wanted to stand up, but the opponent's sword was too fast, and another sword swung in, and this sword was fast and ruthless, piercing the heart.
The "ding" sword bent but failed to sink into her heart, the other party probably didn't expect this, and was stunned. Zhan Ying didn't give him a chance to swing the sword again, in the flash of light, as soon as she raised her hand, a short arrow did not enter the opponent's forehead, and the other party's exposed eyes stared at her, his eyes were full of disbelief, and then the sword fell to the ground and fell to the ground in front of Zhan Ying, splashing Zhan Ying's body with water.
At this moment, one of the black-clothed men who protected Zhan Ying had already caught up, only glanced at Zhan Ying's fineness, then put his fingers to his lips and whistled, the horse that had been running forward turned around and ran back, the man in black liberated the horse from the carriage with a sword, pulled Zhan Ying up, and hurriedly stuffed the reins into her hands: "We will solve it here, you ride back to the camp, go quickly!" ”
There was no time for Zhan Ying to stop to breathe, she turned over and got on her horse, and galloped towards the camp without slackening for a moment, until she narrowly reined in the horse at the gate of the camp. Because the horse's belly was too tight before, his legs were weak when he dismounted, and he knelt on one knee on the ground.
The soldier on duty came over, saw that her hair was loose, her whole body was drenched in the rain, she was very embarrassed, she didn't recognize her for a while, and was about to interrogate, Zhan Ying took off the waist card from her waist, and the soldier guarding the camp door looked at the waist card and pulled her up from the rain-soaked ground: "It's you, how did you make it look like this." ”
Zhan Ying was like a taut string suddenly loosened, very tired, she didn't want to say more, she just shook her head, dragging her limp legs towards her room.
Back in the house, Zhan Ying worked hard to change out of his soaked skirt, and then lay down on the couch exhausted. My body was tired from high tension, but my mind was constantly thinking.
Where did those three come from tonight? Is it all the way to the mastermind behind the destruction of her family? The three of them may have been following her for many days, and they deliberately chose to start on the night of the rainstorm, thinking that they would leave no trace after the rain and deal with her unconsciously, right? Also, the two men in black who protected her could come to rescue her in such a timely manner, they must have been around her normally, and she never found out. And who sent them?
Zhan Ying's expression gradually turned cold. After being comfortable for a while, her guards have been too lax lately. There were so many people around her, and she didn't even notice it. She touched the golden silk soft armor on the inside of her coat, if it wasn't for this soft armor just now, I'm afraid she would have died under that sword, this is what she was asked to wear a few days ago, saying that it was just in case, I don't want to really save her life today.
Thinking of this, she took off the small crossbow in her hand, pressed a new short arrow into the empty arrow clip, tied it to her left arm again, and pulled down the sleeve cover. This is the last time she went into the valley on her off-day assignment, and when she made this little crossbow, the master gave her the next section of the book on the technique. This little crossbow was the first time she had made it on her own, so she cherished it by her side, and today she used it to kill a man in black in one fell swoop, but its range was extremely short, and she had to wait for the man in black to get close before she could use it, otherwise the power would not be enough.
