Chapter 17: The Unexpected
I have to say that Zuo Chen made too much of a mistake.
A commercial street, the entire middle section is in the middle of the group fight, if the two ends of the street are blocked, isn't it like catching a turtle in an urn? In the melee of the close-quarters, the crossbowmen lurking on the roof have lost their due power, and the street entrance is left to retreat or the rescuers are restrained by the enemy, but fortunately, the enemy is cautious, and there are not too many personnel involved, even so, Zuo Chen and his party are in dire straits.
Zuo Chen listened to Wu Jiang's suggestion, knowing that it was impossible to escape from the encirclement, but he just hoped that the crossbow archers on the roof would be more clever, and take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the favorable terrain to run back to the mansion to report to the old man, maybe there was still a glimmer of life.
Seeing a person jumping down from the eaves, Zuo Chen couldn't help but be anxious, "What are you going to do here?" ……”
"It's me!" The person who came was the third child, and between moving and dodging, he had already approached Zuo Chen's side, cut down an opponent casually, and shouted at Wu Jiang: "Brother, follow me to protect my son and fight his way out of the encirclement!" ”
The old man's secret disciple is really ruthless, and the long knife is all the key points. The same Liu family's knife technique will get up, flowing smoothly and quickly, the force slash is like the collapse of the heavenly river, and the horizontal slash is just like the stormy waves, and the two opponents will be cut down in a few rounds.
"Keep up!" The third child turned around and shouted, only to find that Zuo Chen had already left his side.
Seeing the uncle who fell in a pool of blood due to his own mistakes, Zuo Chen almost wanted to shed blood and tears, how could he withdraw and retreat, his back and thighs had been injured by the enemy, and he still waved his arms that had lost his agility unrelentingly, and his mechanical movements were even more exhausting, panting like a cow.
"The third! The third ......"
Xiao Liuzi also came to the scene, shouting, and the killing general from outside the circle came in. As he joined the battle circle, the enemy and the enemy at the corner of the street also followed, and the battle situation was even more chaotic, and the originally spacious street was overcrowded for a while, with shouts and wails and the sound of blades clashing.
Suddenly, the earth trembled, accompanied by the noisy neighing of horses.
"Stop!" A bell-like voice rang out.
How can you kill both sides with red eyes, when their lives are at stake, which is something that can be stopped with a word of reprimand.
"If you don't stop, don't kill! Bow...... Arrow...... Hand...... Get ready! ”
shouted the word "archer" hoarsely, and finally made everyone realize the seriousness of the problem, and it was really strange not to be shot into a hedgehog in such a situation! They all pulled away and moved closer to themselves.
Whether it was Zuo Chen or whoever it was, most of them were lying on the ground with the tip of their knives down, all of them were embarrassed and tired like dogs, panting with their mouths wide open.
"Committing murder in front of the public, all of them put down their swords and ......, ......, Lord Liu?" Zhao Pengfei pointed at the people in front of him with a horsewhip and shouted loudly, and suddenly found Zuo Chen, who looked like a bloody person in the crowd, "...... Who is it!? The crime of attacking and killing the official of the imperial court is added to the first degree! ”
Handing the long knife to Zhang Kang beside him, Zuo Chen bowed, "Xiaguan pays a visit to Zhao Shangshu." ”
Turning over and dismounting neatly, Zhao Pengfei stepped forward in a few steps, "That's it, that's it......" said in his mouth, glanced at the other group of people, frowned and lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" Fortunately, Prince Qing's news was delivered in time, look at your ......, alas! ”
I didn't expect that at the critical time, it was Prince Qing who asked Zhao Pengfei to relieve the siege, Zuo Chen had no time to sigh at this time, and his face was full of doubts, "Who sent someone to attack and kill me, even I am confused, can I ...... Check it out!? Look at their outstretched hands, they are all from the army. ”
Zuo Chen's most important thing at present is to know the origin of the other party, and he can't even know who the opponent is when he touches his nose, which is a little too much to say.
With a deep sigh, Zhao Pengfei said in his heart, who will attack you? The emperor is a celebrity in his palm, if you hadn't pretended to shout at the gate of the mansion that the old man went out of the house to relieve his boredom, would there be such a big pomp? Lao Liu Tou stayed in the house, who would dare to go in and commit murder? Isn't it that you're a kid who thinks he's smart? What a worry-free Lord! glanced at Zuo Chen with a sneer, "Hmm! ”
Walking to the middle of the street with his head held high, Zhao Pengfei pointed with a horsewhip, "Come on, tie up all this group!" ”
The dignified military department Shangshu came forward, and shouted five and six in front of the public, which is worth intriguing in itself, and now it is not a bowl of water that all the two gangs are tied up and interrogated and imprisoned, which makes the other party uneasy and even more indignant. How can the arrows be on the bow, the sergeants who are eyeing each other are already keeping an eye on them, and whoever dares to act rashly and fire arrows in unison does not dare to guarantee that they will be able to retreat with their whole body.
"Small, meet Zhao Shangshu......"
"Humph!" Zhao Pengfei didn't expect that there would be such a dog-headed pig-brained person, I still don't know where you are waiting? And you kneel on the ground to see me!? I want to turn around and ignore it, I think it's a little inappropriate," ...... You! Recognize the official? Submit your name, it is... Which... Family... Minion! ”
"The small one is Jing ......"
"Fuck your stinking fart! …… Marketplace...... Even the scoundrel dares to meet this official! How daring! Zhao Pengfei was so angry that he almost vomited blood, how could Prince Jing raise such a waste, and deliberately lengthened his voice to ask which slave it was, and he couldn't hear the meaning of the words, what a pig's head! Or a cut pig's head! Thinking resentfully in his heart, he turned around with his feet and said sharply: "What are you waiting for!" Tie them all up! Dare to attack and kill the court officials, damn it, damn it! ”
The man finally came to his senses, and it was too late, and his intestines were repentant when he knelt on the ground, and he told the head of the house in a panic, not to mention whether he was in prison or not, even if he returned to the palace, he couldn't eat and walk! It's one thing to keep it secret, but it's another thing to say it.
"Market scoundrel!? …… No way! Xiao Liuzi's brows were twisted into pimples, and he lowered his voice and said, "It can be seen that it is a group of people from two gangs......"
"It's not a scoundrel in the market, it's Prince Jing." After Zuo Chen finished whispering, he bit his lower lip with his teeth and looked at Zhao Pengfei with a resentful face, and he couldn't figure out a clue in his heart for a while.
Tie people up, it's smooth. There was no commotion, and the sergeants brought by Zhao Pengfei were tied up one by one, and even the wounded were not spared, and the casualties were also thrown off their horses.
Moving forward, Zuo Chen bowed and saluted, and said, "Thank you Zhang Shangshu for rescuing the lower official from danger, and the lower official is grateful to Dade!" …… There are many wounded, please allow me to return home for treatment as soon as possible......"
"In the future, don't be so reckless in ......." Zhao Pengfei whispered, and then said loudly: "Hurry up!" The old man is tired and sweaty! ”
