Chapter 172: A Tragic End
Xun Fu looked at Wei Lan coldly, and his whole body was full of murderous aura!
"No, you don't deserve to know who I am!"
Wei Lan smiled with his hand: "Your Excellency's tone is not small!" β
At this time, behind the dense forest two miles outside the city, there was billowing smoke and dust in the distance, and people were looking at that end, Xun Fu was especially nervous!
In the distance, a man rushed out of the forest on horseback, and a half-hundred-year-old man with a gray beard and sparse hair raised a large knife in his hand, and shouted: "Rush! We must protect the emperorβ"
"Rushβ" The old man was followed by hundreds of people in official uniforms, who looked like officials and other figures, these people held large swords in their hands, and their eyes were determined; Many people rushed out from behind the officials, all dressed in shabby linen clothes, with half-worn turbans wrapped around their heads, and all kinds of strange weapons in their hands, and when they got closer, people saw that all the people were holding farm tools, hoes, sickles, and rakes, and even more so with wooden sticks, but there were quite a few of them, and everyone's eyes were full of anger and courage! Wei Lan made a visual inspection, there were as many as 2,000 people, and there was a steady stream of people rushing over here......
The enemy couldn't dodge it, so they turned around and fought with the comers, but after all, the comers were local peasants, and their combat strength was limited, and the casualties were quite heavy......
The old man on horseback jumped off his horse and saluted to the prince and King Liang on the city tower: "Weichen Tongzhou guards Wu Junyi, and leads the Tongzhou warriors to escort him!" β
Niu Er snorted: "A bun of dirt buns!" Kill me ......"
Seeing this, Wei Lan ordered to go down: "Go!" Protect too much! β
A new round of fighting had just begun, and there was a puff of smoke and dust billowing in the distance. Wei Lan looked in the direction in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The person I was waiting for has arrived." β
Although the prince didn't know who Wei Lan was waiting for, he also knew that reinforcements must have come. Sure enough, the half-burnt incense passed. Another group of people came on horseback, this group of people in armor, very different from the people with hoes just now, and at first glance they were well-trained soldiers.
The crown prince said happily: "It turns out that the imperial uncle sent someone to the garrison three hundred miles away early in the morning to transfer troops!" Good Uncle Huang! Why don't you sue me all the time? β
Wei Lan laughed: "It's Your Majesty, I want to see your ability." β
Xun Fu listened to the conversation between the two, and his heart was mixed......
It turned out that his long-term plan was a trick used by these people to test the prince's ability!
Grief to grief. Practical issues still need to be considered. He watched for a moment. Seeing that his side is at a great disadvantage, it is still too late to escape while the encirclement has not yet been formed!
But how willing to call him!
Niu Er was still fighting, and he was clutching his injured stomach. shouted at Xun Fu on the city tower: "Big brother, come down quickly, I'm afraid things won't happen!" β
Wei Lan shouted: "Stop him!" β
Xun Fu glanced at Wei Lan resentfully, and flew downstairs. One side ordered: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! β
Xun Fu was in mid-air, and Niu Er rode on horseback. Backhanded over a man on horseback and led the horse over, apparently prepared for Xun Fu.
Not far away, the army of Great Xia was getting closer and closer. The horse's hooves trampled on it, and its armor was faintly visible!
With a bang, an arrow shot out of the tower. flew straight to Xun Fu's back; Xun Fu heard this unusual wind and noticed it, and he leaned to the side. The feather arrow pierced him in the back, but it avoided the point!
Xun Fu, who was in mid-air, was sluggish under his feet, he couldn't lift up his true breath, and when he was about to land, he suddenly pounced......
Seeing this, Niu Er immediately ordered two of his subordinates to step forward and help Xun Fu from the ground to the horse, Xun Fu broke the half-cut arrow exposed outside, and looked at the city tower - Wei Lan held a bow in his hand, looking at Xun Fu with a smile, his eyes were full of provocation!
Xun Fu wiped the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, and said viciously: "Your Highness, see you another day!" β
After that, Xun Fu twisted the reins and ran out of the city with a group of subordinates!
Wei Lan replied loudly, and his voice pierced the smoke-filled sky: "Wei someone, waiting for the big boss!" β
Xun Fu shook violently, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong!
Although he is the leader of this group, no one has ever called himself a big boss!
Don't......
Xun Fu swallowed the question in his heart and walked out on the billowing smoke and dust......
The crown prince ordered the city gate to be opened and let the Taishou and others in. Seeing that Taishou was so loyal, the prince was very happy, praised him very much, and said that he would ask for credit for him in front of the emperor.
The one who came to escort was General Qian from the Xuzhou station. General Qian dismounted and saluted the prince: "My subordinates are late to save the car, please forgive your highness!" β
The prince said gently: "No, General Qian came at the right time to come in the starry night!" Open the gates, and ask the general to enter the cityβ"
General Qian is Wei Lan's favorite subordinate, loyal for generations, and Wei Lan can be trusted.
Prince Duan originally followed Yan Hui and others to the Imperial Garden in the martial arts training ground, but later learned that several people had come to the city tower, so he rushed over. He saw that the crown prince and the king of Liang were there, and he also knew that his identity as a foreign prince was not easy to interfere with, so he stood at a distance so that he could lend a helping hand in case of emergency.
At this moment, the crisis was lifted, and he came over and talked to Wei Lan and the others.
Prince Duan chatted: "There is a very strange thing. β
Wei Lan said, "Please speak." β
"The prince of the golden king, Tuoba Sui, but he doesn't know where he is now......"
The prince answered: "I saw him at the city gate just now, and I killed his men, but told him to flee, which is a disaster......
Wei Lan looked at the soldiers who were slowly entering the city downstairs, and said to the prince: "You have to tell people to watch the city gate and strictly check everyone, Tuoba is cunning and changeable, but I am afraid that I will mix in the crowd and go out of the city." β
Who knew that Cao would arrive. Tuoba rode a horse from nowhere, grabbed a man in his hand, and slowly paced towards the city gate!
The crown prince pointed at him and smiled at Wei Lan: "Uncle Huang, you see, this person is not only not afraid, but also so leisurely, it seems that he despises my authority in Great Xia very much!" β
"Haha, Your Highness still hasn't sent someone to arrest him?" Prince Duan said with a smile.
Wei Lan carefully identified the person in front of Tuoba Sui, the figure of that person was so familiar, it seemed to be a woman......
Tuoba Sui saw Wei Lan's scrutinizing eyes, he smiled proudly, and pointed to Guo Jia in front of him, his eyes were full of provocation!
Wei Lan asked the prince and Prince Duan suspiciously: "Look, who is the woman in front of him?" β
Prince Duan took a closer look and said, "I seem to have seen it by looking at the clothes, huh...... Seen in the main hall. β
The prince looked at it fixedly: "Yes, it seems to be ...... It seems to be from the Mansion of the Faithful Marquis! β
Wei Lan verified the conjecture in his heart, his face changed greatly, and his body couldn't help trembling, as if he was trying his best to suppress the rush down*!
Tuoba stopped.
Lord Qian looked at the person not far away curiously, and was very curious about his identity!
The prince saw that Wei Lan was not afraid of danger after so many turmoil just now, and there was no expression on his face, but now he suddenly changed color, and somehow ......
At this time, Guo Jia had fallen asleep.
The crown prince asked loudly: "What does this mean, Third Highness?" β
As soon as General Qian heard this, he knew that this person was Tuoba Sui, His Royal Highness the Third King of the Jin Kingdom, and he immediately waited for him, asked his subordinates to stop, and surrounded Tuoba Sui.
Tuoba looked at these people coldly, and there was no fear in his eyes...... (To be continued.) )
