Chapter 5 The bright moon bends and shines on the long street
The Wei County Armaments Department is subordinate to the Wei County Bingcao, which is mainly responsible for the management, maintenance and replacement of the armaments, soldiers' clothing, weapons, wartime engineering equipment, city wall defense materials, and military defense distribution maps of the Wei County local army, which is an important military location of Wei County.
The Ordnance Department is located in Anping Street in the north of Yecheng, and two poplar trees stand tall and straight on both sides of the gate. Several guards in front of the Si Yamen stood on both sides, one hand on their waists, the other hand clenched the steel knife, their faces expressionless and solemn.
"The thief Cao was ordered to investigate the case, and those who dared to obstruct it will be killed!" Wang Li and his entourage galloped over, jumped off the horse quickly, threw the reins of the horse casually, and galloped towards the office.
When everyone entered the Si Ya, they saw people coming and going in the Si Ya, the candle was shining, Wang Li pressed the sword with his hand, and shouted: "Where is the deputy commander of the soldier Cao Wanjian?" The sound was like thunder, and the dust on the purlin beams in the hall fell straight down. Everyone was stunned and silent.
After a while, an official in an official uniform stepped forward and arched his hand: "Dare to ask your lordship, but the thief Cao Peng Wang joined the army?" My soldier Cao and the thief Cao have always not interfered with each other, but I don't know why the king joined the army and came? ”
Wang Li snorted, and Sun Cai had already held the token and shouted: "Deputy Commander Bing Cao has made Wan Jian suspected of murdering Jin Cao Peng Jia An, and we are ordered to arrest this thief!" ”
"Huh? My lord, Wan Jian did not come to his leave today. ”
"Search!"
Wang Li glanced at everyone coldly, waved his hand, and the guards scattered into the ya.
Seeing that Sun Cai and the others searched inside and out for a quarter of an hour, and there was no trace of ten thousand swords, Wang Li's face sank like water, and he snorted coldly, and a group of mermaids poured out. Everyone in the hall only felt a chill in their necks, and when they came back to their senses, the sound of horses' hooves in front of the door had gradually faded away.
Not long after Wang Li and the others left, the Armaments Department was across the street, "Bang!" With a bang, a firework rushed straight into Xiaohan, blooming in the night sky, and in an instant, it turned into a little light and scattered in all directions, like a prosperous lotus.
Wang Li sneered and turned his head, looking at the fireworks in the air, his eyebrows raised, his legs were clamped, and the red horse under his crotch disappeared into the darkness like a meteor.
……
In Ping'an Fang, Yongfeng Street, South of Yecheng, a man in his thirties dressed in black, stood in the courtyard and looked at the fireworks that gradually disappeared in the night sky, hooked the wall with one hand, twisted his waist and turned over and rode on the wall, listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, looking at the brighter and brighter firelight, and smiling coldly, like a night owl in the mountains.
……
"The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk."
The bright moon bends on the long street, and Miss Chang'e casts a mottled silver veil on the streets of Yecheng through the swaying branches and leaves. It's a pity that there is only Mingyue, there is no beauty, and only the war horse under the crotch and Sun Cai and others accompany him.
Wang Li glanced at the rising bright moon, but his heart was raised. From Jiafu to the Bingcao Armaments Division, and then from Anping Street in the north of the city to Yongfeng Street in the south of the city, time has quietly passed an hour and a half.
He had an appointment to go, so he was as anxious as a thirsty spring, for fear that if it was a little too late, the man would be gone.
Of course, the person who met him was not the lover who "held the hand of the son and grew old with the son", nor was he the beautiful woman who "moved the lotus to the fishing boat", but a man, an out-and-out man, the deputy commander of the soldier Cao made ten thousand swords!
Five horsemen and horses, with torches in hand, galloped from afar, and before they reached the gate, they heard a loud shout, "Get out of the way!" Wang Li had already crossed the crowd on horseback, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, before everyone could react, they saw that a bright moon had hit the gate.
Although the bright moon is still dim, the sword light is like the bright moon.
The door opened suddenly, and Wang Li and the others had already jumped in. The front door, the middle door, the back door, the ear room, the wing room, the middle hall, the front yard, the middle courtyard, the back yard, everyone shuttles like a butterfly, but when they see the courtyard and the torches, where is there still half a figure?
Got away again?
Thinking of the fireworks that were lit half an hour ago, Wang Li frowned, and touched the lead-glazed pottery teacup on the desk in the hall, but felt that the tea was still warm before it was cold. An arrow has rushed out of the lobby, the left foot kicked in the courtyard, a vertical body, only to see the wall coming, secretly breathed, the right foot on the wall with a tiptoe, flying to stand on the wall.
Standing on the top of the wall and looking around, it was dark all around, only a black figure was rushing towards the entrance of the alley not far from the alley.
"Where?"
Wang Li shouted loudly, tiptoeed, and ran back and forth between the high wall and the market like an ape. In an instant, he had gradually caught up, but he saw the figure raise his head and sneer, and kicked under his feet, as if a swimming fish quietly turned into the alley and disappeared.
The entrance of the alley is just at the junction of Yongfeng Street and Ping'an Lane, and more than ten meters in front of it is Qinghe Lane. Wang Li swept his eyebrows, and found that the black shadow had gone around to Qinghe Lane, no wonder he had lost his trace just now.
Wang Li kicked his feet hard, like a roc spreading his wings, from the roof to the heart of the street. As soon as he landed, he heard a loud roar behind him: "Where is Xiaoxiao, who dares to break the ban at night?" Then came the sound of horses' hooves and soldiers from behind, and a group of knights came in an instant.
looked closely, but it was He Lin, the commander of Wei County's soldiers. He Lin led the crowd to Wang Li quickly, took a look at the firelight, quickly rolled off the horse, and said, "Wang joins the army? Humble and Lin have seen the king join the army, tonight is the humble duty patrol of the city to guard the ban, just when I saw the army alone, I thought that someone had violated the curfew, offended the army, and asked for forgiveness for joining the army! ”
"And the commander, don't talk about it, Ben Cao is tracking the thief, and please get out of the way quickly, don't miss Ben Cao's big thing!" Wang Li glared at He Lin and was about to leave.
But seeing He Lin's hippie smile and flattery, he stepped forward and pulled Wang Li and said, "My lord, don't get me wrong, if there is anything you can ask the little one to serve!" ”
"Really?" Wang Li glanced at He Lin with a smile, but he heard a war horse neighing behind him, which was his jujube red horse. The corners of Wang Li's mouth raised, and an agitated whistle suddenly sounded, and the jujube red horse heard the call of the master, and let out a long howl, floating from a distance like a flame.
Wang Li gently bent his legs with one foot, jumped on the war horse, looked back at Sun Cai, Zhou Kang, Zhao Wu and Liu Qi, who were approaching, and glanced at Sun Cai and Zhou Kang, and saw that the two pulled out their horses and walked along the end of Yongfeng Street, and gradually disappeared. Only then did he turn his head to He Lin and smiled: "Since He Commander is willing to serve, please go with the Commander and Ben Cao to have a look." ”
"Gotcha!" He Lin quickly stepped on his horse and shouted triumphantly to the soldiers under his command, "Brothers, the king has ordered us to help catch the thief!" If he can catch this thief, this commander will invite him to go to the Red Pavilion tonight to drink flower wine! ”
All the knights screamed, got on their horses, and galloped away with Wang Li to Qinghe Lane.
In the distance, I saw a black shadow rushing forward.
Seeing that the black shadow was about to run out of the alley, he heard two horses outside the alley, and two horses turned out of the alley. The black shadow stopped and glanced back, and the entrance of the alley behind him had been sealed tightly by a team of knights. The black shadow was startled and let out a long roar, and a scimitar came out of its sheath with a sound of breaking through the air, the pitch-black scabbard, the pitch-black hilt, and the pitch-black blade, with the faint silver glow of the moonlit night, splashed towards the two riders like a ball of ink.
Sun Cai and Zhou Kang glanced at each other, kicked their feet, and the two of them had jumped off the horse, and the long knives in their hands swung towards the black shadow together.
Seeing the three people intertwined, Wang Li waved his hand, and the knights had already rushed over and surrounded the three of them in the center.
Wang Li was not in a hurry, he slowly straddled the war horse, glanced at He Lin and asked, "Commander He, do you know who Ben Cao captured this time?" ”
He Lin patted the horse's neck and laughed, pointed the long whip at the black shadow, and said: "No matter who he is, I know that as long as Wang joins the army and makes a move, that person must have committed a heinous crime." Do you want to help the two brothers? ”
"Okay, then there will be Lao and Brother Xian to take down these 10,000 deputy commanders!"
"No problem, it's wrapped up in the little brother, and a certain is worried about having nothing to do, so let the brothers catch this thief together, and protect the religion and return the adult to a living 10,000 deputy command room envoys!" He Lin patted his chest with an oath, his face suddenly came to his senses, and he looked at Wang Li in surprise, "Deputy Commander Wan?" My lord, you said that this thief is the deputy commander of my soldier Cao Wanjian? ”
Wang Li nodded, looked at He Lin with a smile and said, "What, is Brother He Xian questioning Ben Cao?" Ben Cao heard that he and the virtuous brother and the deputy commander Wan have a very close personal relationship, so it is okay to wear a pair of pants together, but there is such a thing? ”
He Lin raised his head, smiled and said: "My lord said that he was joking, although this 10,000 deputy commanders are subordinates, they have no deep friendship with this person below, and they have a very strong personal relationship, and wearing the same pair of pants is just nonsense from the outside world, not enough to believe, not enough to believe!" ”
"Oh? Then I don't know if Brother He Xian plans to assist Brother Yu to kill his relatives in righteousness, or is it favoritism? ”
"Haha, of course it's a righteous killing!" He Lin laughed, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Wang Li with a face like a bitter melon, "My lord, this ten thousand swords really have nothing to do with Zaixia!" But what did these ten thousand swords do? Can you tell me below? ”
Wang Li snorted coldly, and glared at He Lin with a smile, "Lord He is so concerned about the case, do you want to exonerate Wan Jian?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, take a break, and stay down to catch this thief!" Seeing Wang Li's expression, He Lin suddenly felt that his body was short, wiped the sweat on his head and flew into the circle, and shouted arrogantly with a long knife, "Ten Thousand Sword Thief, as the deputy commander of my soldier Cao, you dare to collude with thieves?" My army is here, and I won't be captured? ”
The black shadow blocked the joint attack of Sun Cai and Zhou Kang with a knife, and ripped off the black scarf on his face, revealing a miserable white face, which was the deputy commander of Wei County's soldier Cao Wanjian.
Wan Jian gasped, glanced at He Lin with contempt, and said with a smile: "Cut! Just by virtue of you, a dog officer? Your three-legged cat's kung fu is also worthy of a competition with Lao Tzu? ”
"You! You wicked thief, dare to be disrespectful to your own officials! ”
He Lin was so angry that the first Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven and pointed to the ten thousand swords tremblingly, ignoring the looks of everyone, he slapped the horse forward with a clamp under his feet, and with a wave of the spear, a cold light flew towards the ten thousand swords.
The moon is cold, and the light is cold.
Before the cold light reached Wan Jian's body, he heard Wan Jian shout: "Look at my nine days and ten earths rainstorm pear flower needle!" ”
The ten thousand swords interrupted the shadow of the spear, took out an object from his arms and smashed it on the ground, a cloud of white dust rose from the ground, and the ten thousand swords were scattered in all directions, and everyone scattered in all directions, covering their mouths and coughing, and when they raised their heads, the ten thousand swords were completely invisible, and the radius was ten meters white.
He Lin was stunned for a while, but felt that the spear suddenly sank, and one person had already tiptoed on the spear and jumped into the air.
Wan Jian stepped on the high wall, raised his eyes around, and saw that everyone was still walking away in the white fog, and smiled: Lao Tzu's departure this time is just like swimming in the sea of dragons, Kunpeng is at the end of the world, see how you look for me?
Suddenly, my heart shook, and a loud shout came from the top of my head, like thunder:
"Ten thousand swords, where are you going!"
