Chapter 103: Crisis
"The guards in the house who died in the war, the bereavement pension was paid three times as usual, and the two uncles... It's up to you."
With this experience, Liu Cong also seemed to have some understanding, looking at the corpses and the injured guards, the joy in his heart faded a lot.
It turns out that the name of the prince brings not only power, status, and honor, but also... Liability.
may have the element of political showmanship, in short, at this moment, Liu Cong completely won the hearts of the guards of the state pastoral mansion, and his thoughts about Liu Qi seemed to be much lighter.
"Don't worry! It will not disgrace the exploits of the brothers who died in battle. ”
Seeing Liu Cong's transformation, Cai Zhongcai and the two of them were overjoyed, and naturally they didn't count so much.
As long as Liu Cong can grow up quickly and completely sit on the throne of the world, not to mention more than ten dead and injured, what about hundreds or thousands of deaths? They Cai's... I can always afford it.
"Thank you for your mercy!"
"The son of the world is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, and he must revive my Jingchu heroism!"
……
Seeing Liu Cong and Er Cai like this, everyone naturally stepped forward to praise for a while, and only then did they give up until Liu Cong's complexion slowly improved.
"What a son! I don't know who this son is?
has not yet won its name and crown, and has already boasted and swaggered through the market here? ”
After some setbacks, everyone had just calmed down, and before they could take a breath, a dull ridicule came from the direction outside the valley, and Liu Pan led hundreds of black clothes like ants to appear in front of everyone, completely blocking the back road.
"Who are you waiting for! Why is it here? ”
Looking at the black clothes that were several times their own, everyone's expressions changed wildly, Meng Qiu and Zong Pre flashed, and several guards blocked Zhang Yong's figure, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others firmly guarded Liu Cong... On the contrary, it is Ma Yan, Dong Yun... These accompanying scholars were cold for a while, and no one protected them.
Hundreds of black-clothed people appeared in the remote place of Waterfall Valley on a sunny day and in the daylight, and you don't have to think about it to know that these people are not here to play and sightsee.
Among the more than 100 of them, it is worthy of the other party to mobilize so many people... In addition to Zhang Yong, there is only Liu Cong.
One of these two people is the son of the Zhang family in Hanzhong, and he has a grudge against Jing Xiang for losing the army and seizing the land, and the other is about to take the throne... Become the successor of Jingzhou.
Eyes wandered back and forth between the two, and everyone only felt that it was more likely that these people were still here for Liu Cong.
Compared with Liu Cong, Zhang Yong's whereabouts are extremely low-key, and most of them only knew Zhang Yong's identity on the day they came to Jingshan.
"Cong Shizi!"
"Zhang Shizi!"
Looking at the two teams on the left and right, one large and one small, the scribes sandwiched in the middle had a hint of expectation in their eyes.
"Young Chang, take it! If... I can't stand it, but it's good to have a break! ”
Pulling Ma Jian over, he pulled out a dagger from the waist of the guard next to him and threw it into Ma Yan's arms, Zhang Yong's tone was a little solemn.
Although he is good at hitting more with less, he uses more tricks, and he needs to have the right time and place.
Just in front of me...
"I don't need to know who I am! You just need to know that you will be buried here today! ”
Not far away, Liu Pan's gaze never took off Liu Cong's body for half a minute.
In the past, he didn't want to kill more, after all, there are many rising stars in Jingzhou among these people, and he may be the pillar of Jingzhou in the future.
It's just that time is also fate!
Until now, we must not leak the slightest rumor.
"How did you get into Jingshan! Jing and Jing Ershan are a few with thousands of town troops stationed, how can such a team not be discovered? ”
Staring at the black-clothed leader in front of him, Cai Zhong, Cai and the two of their brains were spinning rapidly.
There is so much power! Dispatch hundreds of dead soldiers in one go, and be able to hide from the town army... Is it the Jiangdong Sun clan or the Cao clan? Or is it the Zhang family in Hanzhong?
With a sudden turn of his gaze on Zhang Yong, Cai Zhong and Cai He ruled out this possibility.
"You're the townsmen! … You are the people of the Great Prince! ”
On the march and battlefield, the accompanying soldiers may not be as good as one, but in terms of strategy and knowledge... But it is better than the vast majority of the martial artists present.
These scholars have had enough of all kinds of power tricks since they were young... After a moment of panic, someone had a flash of inspiration and guessed the origin of the man in black in front of him.
"The eldest son!?"
Everyone present was not a fool, but the guards of the state governor's mansion, who were much better than ordinary people.
"Liu Pan! You are acting so unscrupulously! Are you really not afraid of the wrath of the state pastor? ”
Looking at the black-clothed leader in front of him, Cai Zhongcai and Cai He suddenly understood... Where did that inexplicable familiarity come from?
"It's your own death! Originally, I was still hesitating to kill you together. It's a pity... It is you who have cut off your hope of survival. ”
Although his identity was broken, Liu Pan did not show even a trace of panic.
After all, before he came to Waterfall Valley, he had already gained enlightenment.
But... When Liu Pan swept his gaze to the scholars again, there seemed to be a little regret in his eyes.
In a short period of time, these people... There are too many Chinese people in the Grand Duke's Mansion.
"As for the state shepherd's fury! What do you think... Do you still have a chance to walk in front of the governor? ”
Turning his gaze to Er Cai, Liu Pan did not hide his naked killing intent at all.
Liu Qi has fallen to the current situation... The reason for this should be headed by Cai.
Now I can't move Cai Mao, kill Cai Zhongcai and... can also give Liu Qi a bad anger in his heart.
"That's not the point of talking! Liu Pan, if you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability! ”
Although Cai Zhong's tone is blunt, it always makes people feel a little lacking in confidence.
Also, regardless of the hundreds of town troops... Even Liu Pan alone is enough to make people fearful.
In terms of single-round force, this one... But he is not inferior to the strong man of refining gods.
"Leave a team of men behind... The rest of the people rushed to the inner valley for me, and I knew that there was an undercurrent in the inner valley, and as long as I crossed that undercurrent, I could escape from the waterfall valley.
Just go back to Xiangyang... Whether it's Liu Pan or the eldest son... Won't live long. ”
His eyes wandered over several small leaders of the state pastor's mansion, and Cai Zhong's meaning was self-evident.
At this time, someone always needs to go to "die".
"I'm willing to break off! I just hope that... After the prince returns to Xiangyang, please be kind to my father, wife, and children. ”
As the guards of the state pastor's office, it can be said that the moment they became the guard of the state pastor's office, they had the consciousness of being abandoned. In the past... It's watching others die, today... Finally it was their turn.
"Rest assured! Cong will not fail the families of the kings. ”
Looking at the dozens of figures standing in front of him, Liu Cong's expression froze, and he solemnly promised.
Eldest brother... Do you really want to put me to death?
Holding the saber at his waist, Liu Cong looked a little lost... There was a faint relief.
"For the sake of the Son! Kill...!!! ”
At Cai Zhong's signal, the guards of the Dozens of Prefectures launched a counter-charge in a roar, and the silver-white sword light looked particularly lonely under the refraction of the sun.
As anyone can guess, this is a battle to the death.
At the moment when the guards of the State Pastoral Mansion charged, Liu Cong, Zhang Yong and others had already led Cai Zhong to move quickly along the stream deeper into the valley.
At this time, they don't have time to sigh and remember anything, because... Perhaps soon, the fate of these state guards will be their end.
"Leave them all dead, don't let them go too painfully."
Whether it is the guards of the state pastoral mansion or the elite of the town army brought by Liu Pan, they will definitely fight evenly in the past, but it's a pity... The fighting spirit cannot erase the quantitative gap.
In just a quarter of an hour, dozens of guards from the state pastoral mansion were swarmed and cut to the ground by several times the elite of the town army.
"Wang Lin, you lead some of your brothers to clean up the battlefield, take a closer look and see if there is any alive! Others... Follow me to pursue Liu Cong. ”
Three hundred people were divided into the team in an instant, and they followed Liu Pan towards the inner valley.
……
"Hurry up! Hurry up! There's an undercurrent ahead! ”
The group rushed in a hurry, and many of the soldiers and guards lost their swords and bows and crossbows.
"General Cai, can you really escape from here?"
Looking at a secluded Tan in front of him that was only a dozen zhang in size, and then looking at the towering cliffs on both sides, not only a group of scribes and guards, but also Zhang Yong himself, were also secretly suspicious.
"Of course I can go, I won't take myself to my death!"
In response to everyone's suspicious eyes, Cai Zhong snorted coldly, picked a few guards with better water quality, and explored the way first.
As a Jing Chu man, who doesn't know a little bit of water, so the situation of water and land division in the regular plot does not appear.
"Roar!!
While everyone was waiting for the guards to explore the way, a few dull and violent tiger roars suddenly came from the mountains and forests not far away.
Immediately afterwards, everyone only felt the soles of their feet for a while, and the tiger king who was more than half a foot long... Slowly through the dense forest, it appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"It's... The cattle really didn't die. ”
Through his shirt and stroking a scar on his chest, Cai Zhong's expression suddenly became ugly.
"This is the Tiger King you fear day and night!"
Staring at the tiger king in front of him, Cai He's face was solemn, the momentum of this tiger king was far more terrifying than what his clan brother described.
Suddenly, there was a feeling that he was not facing a beast, but a mythical beast.
"Sure enough, in front of future generations, looking at this era across thousands of years, there is indeed a big deviation."
The tiger king in front of him, compared to a certain garden in later generations, is indeed amazingly big and strong... The horror is amazing.
"Get in the water!! This beast has become stronger, and it is no longer something we can deal with, so hurry up and escort the prince away. ”
If it had been before, Cai Zhong might still have the confidence to escape from this tiger king... But now.
In fact, there is no need for Cai Zhong to say more, everyone also knows how terrifying the tiger king in front of them is, for a while... The crowd did not wait for the escorts to return, and hurried into the water one by one.
If you can find the undercurrent, you can still find a glimmer of life, but if you stay here... Either devoured by the Tiger King, or... will become the soul of Liu Pan's knife.
