Chapter 19: If you hesitate, you will lose

When he heard the word "kill", Wu Lun grabbed the saber at his waist.

He brought a medium-ring knife, about three feet long, wrought iron, the price is only thousands of dollars, it is estimated that it has only been forged about ten times, it is not considered "steel", and the side of the blade is probably not as sharp as the kitchen knife of later generations, but it is a good knife in this year.

At the moment of life and death, time seems to slow down. Fifth Lun held the scabbard in his left hand, pinched the handle of the red rope with his right hand and pulled it out, his eyes staring at the opponent's movements, calculating how to deal with it.

How do you fight with a bow and arrow in a short fight? Fifth Lun heard the eldest father tell him about his experience of fighting with the Hu people in the Western Regions, if the other party is a veteran, such a short distance does not need to be full of strings, half a sheet can hurt people.

Within ten steps of the dash, the Assassin was enough to fire two or three arrows in a row. Fifth Lun can't bet that this person can't be on the head, not to mention that he is still on a horse and can quickly pull away from the distance, so he may not have a chance to fight in close combat.

The ring knife had already been drawn halfway, and the other party had already untied the bow, and the fifth Lun thought of a way.

Shoot with a knife!

This kind of knife throwing method is quite popular among folk light heroes, and the fifth tyrant is very powerful, and can throw hard every seven or eight steps, so that the tip of the knife can accurately hit the willow trunk on the opposite side and pierce a few inches deep. But the fifth Lun is not very easy to practice, plus the other party has experience, the distance is maintained very well, ten steps away, the accuracy of the knife will be greatly reduced.

What's more, he is carrying this ring knife, if he misses it like Jing Ke stabbed King Qin, the game will be over.

Thinking only in the electric light, with a bang, the fifth Lun had completely withdrawn the knife.

He didn't scream and rush over, nor did he make a desperate bet, but his head shrank, and his body flexibly jumped out of the car to hide behind the car, using the body to block the other party's vision.

Wu Lun leaned against the carriage and breathed gently, he planned it like this: "This person is so bold that in broad daylight, he actually robbed and killed me on the road leading to the county seat. But it wasn't long before someone would pass by, so the Assassin couldn't afford to hold it off, and in a hurry, he rode around the front to shorten the distance. At that moment, it was my chance to pounce on me and fight in close quarters! ”

After all, he is the grandson of the fifth tyrant, and he still has some martial arts. After these days of training, the body memory has come back little by little, although it is still not defeated by the old man Sanhe, but it can be fought back and forth with the disciple in the middle.

He used a wrist strap to tie the handle of the knife tightly to his wrist, so that he would not accidentally get out of his hand during the fight, and his cheeks were bruised under the tension.

But Wu Lun waited for several breaths in sweat behind the car, but he didn't see the man coming on horseback, and saw the shadow of the car and horse gradually in the distance, and his heart was happy and confused.

The joy is that you can get out of danger by dragging it, but the confusion is that this person doesn't understand, and if you hesitate, you will be defeated?

"Fifth Fish."

The man's voice sounded again, and his tone was still slow: "I didn't finish my words, I was indeed entrusted by someone to come to kill you, but when I inquired in the county, I only heard that people praised you for being humble and filial, and there were no evil deeds, and killing you was against the chivalrous righteousness of my generation." ”

Funny, this kind of trick is trying to trick me into taking the lead?

Fifth Lun was not fooled, he only bowed his head and looked back through the gap in the wheels, and the four horses' hooves were still ten paces away, kicking the earth impatiently.

Then the fifth general took the plan and cried out, "If what you say is true, throw away your bow, and I will believe you!" ”

The shout was not tight, but after hearing a crisp sound, the man threw something to the ground, and it was really the bow he had held in his hand earlier! It has been broken in half.

This is...... Play for real? But breaking the horn bow with his bare hands is too strong.

The man spoke again, and he was still speaking at a speed like warm water: "The ancients had a saying, filial piety and faithfulness, and they were able to defeat strong armor and sharp soldiers. The bow was not broken by me, but by the kindness of a gentleman. I almost wounded the Magi by mistake, so I won't come again, so don't leave it at that! ”

As soon as the words fell, the four horses' hooves moved, and the man turned around, which made the fifth Lun a little confused. He was afraid that he was dragging his knife, and it was not until the horse's hooves were almost out of sight that he got up cautiously and looked at it, and saw a shadow of a horse getting farther and farther away.

Fifth Lun was dumbfounded, stepped into the car, and yelled at the shadow: "The strong man is noble, but you should leave a name!" ”

How can I find you without leaving your name? I can't find you, how can I find out the person who bought the murderer? If you don't catch the mastermind behind the scenes, how can you feel at ease in the future?

The man seemed to hear this, but he only folded his fist in reflexively, but did not answer, and then he went faster and faster, until the loess raised by the road also fell clean.

"This man is sick."

Fifth Lun scolded like this, and Fu Ying found that his heart was still beating wildly, and he only felt afraid.

Fortunately, the Assassins did have a disease, a moral illness that many people in this era suffered. If you are a vicious man, there will really be a fierce battle today, and your life and death will be unpredictable.

He couldn't drive well, and he gave up chasing the carriage, only picked up the broken bow, and found that the bow material was good, it should be quite expensive, and after turning it over, he found that the tip of the bow was engraved with a small Lizi.

"Ten thousand."

Could it be that the assassin's surname is Wan?

There was a stumbling behind him, and Fifth Lun immediately held the knife and looked back, so frightened that Fifth Fu, who came back from the end, was stunned in place: "Little ...... Xiao Langjun, I heard the shouting, what happened? Why are you all showing your knives? ”

"Get in the car."

Fifth Lun angrily returned the knife into the sheath: "Go home!" ”

……

Home is definitely going back, this false alarm robbery, so that the fifth Lun did not dare to hold on to the big, he asked the fifth fortune to drive back, all the way to ask the pavilions along the way.

Several pavilions along the main road in Linqu Township knew Wulun, revered his fame, and were happy to help. There was a little pavilion chief with a very tanned face who volunteered, boasting about how good he was at handling cases, and had solved many cases such as tomb robbers, slur cases, and murder cases, and confidently searched for the killer along the horseshoe mark.

But after walking a few miles, the horse's hooves mingled with the ruts of the trails, and the pavilion chief was gone.

But in the next pavilion, the fifth lun still had a harvest.

"This person came after noon, saying that he was from Maoling, Jingwei County, begging for saliva in the pavilion, and I have also seen his biography, named ...... Youjun. ”

Youjun? Fifth Lun frowned and looked at the record handed over by the pavilion chief, the bow tip was clearly engraved with "Wan", the assassin was afraid that it was a fake name, and the new dynasty's inspection was like a letter of introduction, which was easy to forge.

But I heard the pavilion guard say that the person does have a Maoling accent, and his origin should be true, but the population of Maoling is more than their Changling, and it is also a needle in a haystack to find.

The pavilion behind him couldn't even provide this clue, so Fifth Lun had to go back home and inform Fifth Tyrant of the matter.

"Who, who dares to hire a murderer to kill my grandson! The old man went to kill him first! “

The fifth tyrant was furious on the spot, and subconsciously thought of the first and seventh clans who had a holiday with their own family, and they were about to find trouble when they scolded, and they were persuaded by the fifth Lun.

"Father, now my family has no evidence, so I can only rely on speculation. Don't be anxious, send a few disciples first, ask all the way down the avenue, and go all the way to Maoling, and look for clues first. ”

As for whether it can be found, God knows.

After this toss, the fifth Lun had to go back to Changping Hall. There are two sides to everything, and while getting the sixth and eighth hearts and the fourth family showing goodwill, his family also formed a bond with the first and seventh. That Qiongcheng Marquis Wang Yuan is a big man, so he can't be offended for no reason.

But after eating a trench and growing wise, Wu Lun brought two apprentices with acceptable martial arts this time, and also put long-range weapons in the car.

"Father."

When Wu Lun went out, he looked back and said: "From the day after tomorrow, I will not only continue to learn knives, but also learn to shoot well!" ”

……

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the fifth Lun, who had spent a night in the county seat, got up early in the morning and went to the county government to pay a post, wanting to visit Da Yin Zhang Zhan and "apologize" for not taking office.

The etiquette of this era is heavier than that of later generations, and the details cannot be ignored.

It's a pity that he was told by the county government official that Zhang Zhan received a summons from the imperial court yesterday and went to Chang'an, Beijing.

There was no choice but to come back another day. However, Wulun didn't have to worry that Zhang Zhan would be annoyed by his resignation, because the matter of "two resignations from the county and county" had already spread in the county.

This is not spread by the fifth Lun, or the county Yin allowed his subordinates to spread it, which shows that the other party does not regard it as a shame, but is happy to see it spread, and he is lucky to meet a good county yin.

Just after the morning meal, the time was still early, and Wu Lun remembered the last time Jing Dan talked about his family's residence, so he went to the east of the city to say hello.

The city is like the countryside, there are also walls, inner doors, but more regular and smaller, the house will not be built in the east and west, after all, the price of land in the city is also expensive, this Changling ...... Changping County is also a second-tier city next to the capital area.

When he reached the inner gate in the east of the city, he encountered a carriage coming out of it. In front of the carriage were two white horses, on which sat a kneeling man, in his thirties, with a short white beard, wearing a regular suit and a small crown.

Fifth Lun didn't recognize it at first, until the two cars were wrong, and the opposite side sighed: "Boyu? ”

Looking at it again, it turned out to be Jing Dan, he replaced the official mansion and the cloth crown today, but Wu Lun didn't recognize it, and hurriedly confessed.

Jing Dan didn't think it was wrong, but was very happy because the fifth Lun Yingnuo came to him, and after asking again, Jing Dan slapped his palm and smiled, and took out the wooden post with fine workmanship and neat handwriting from his arms.

"Coincidentally, I was also invited by the Marquis of Qiongcheng today, and I want to go to Changping Hall for a banquet, and Boyu happens to be my companion."

He nodded at the fifth Lun and said with a smile: "The Chongyang banquet of the Hou family of Qiongcheng is a grand event where the county's wealthy and right-hand celebrities gather, and Boyu can be invited by him, which means that your reputation has been the right side of Lu." It's time to take a look, maybe you can get a good marriage! ”

The fifth Lun Liandao didn't dare, and at the kind invitation of Jing Dan, he went in the same car with him.

Jing Dan looked back at the carriage of the fifth lun specifically, the carriage was covered, but it was not too decorated. Although it is two horses driving the wheel, it is also two peony horses, but the coat color is different, one is a Li horse, the color is black, and the other is a horse (guā) horse, with a black mouth and yellow hair.

He knew that although the Fifth Lun family was rich, it was not rich, and he had invested a lot in things such as Yicang, and there were not many horses, so he should not be able to make up a horse of the same color. Even if it is a horse, the price is thousands or even tens of thousands, and now it is even more expensive when the money is cheap.

Jing Dan kindly reminded: "Boyu, do you want me to borrow a horse in the city and make a fortune for you?" ”

Jun Yuan is two horses of the same suit, the fifth Lun was stunned, understood what he meant, and asked: "If Jun Yuan does not go to the banquet, is it rude?" ”

"Not really...... It's just that now the atmosphere is extravagant, and the threshold of the Hou Mansion is high, and the people who go to the banquet are all Junyuan. ”

It turned out that he was afraid that he would lose face, it was really like going to a banquet and a class reunion in the future, comparing what kind of cars they drove with each other, and Porsche looked down on BBA!

I don't want to go through it, or will I encounter this kind of thing, is he going to a celebrity banquet? I just don't know what awaits me.

After thinking about it, the fifth Lun smiled calmly: "Since it is not a loss of etiquette, then there is no need, let it be." ”

Jing Dan bowed his head, and after thinking about it, he still stopped by the inner door and let the servant go back. After a while, he brought a yellow, but instead of giving it to the fifth lun, he changed it to his chariot.

Now, Jingdan's two horses are no longer the same color.

The fifth Lun is called an insider, this person's emotional intelligence is too high! The last time I smelled the smell of wine in the fifth mile, I deliberately slowed down, and now I specially took care of his face, and I didn't hesitate to do so, at this moment, the fifth Lun was really moved in his heart.

However, Jing Dan helped him up when Wu Lun was speechless, and laughed: "Don't hide it from Boyu, I, the Junyuan white horse, actually borrowed it from my neighbors to make up for it, Boyu's true temperament makes me ashamed, so I simply don't pretend!" ”

In fact, Jing Dan remembered that he came to Liewei County to be an official, and he ran to be a "clean official" in filial piety.

How could an incorruptible official afford to use a horse of the same suit? How can future generations of students who receive poverty grants afford apples? A truth.

Jing Dan only said secretly: "Or Bo Yu can be the same on the outside and not pretend to hide his origin, what this sage said is brown and Huaiyu is also, I should be on par with him." ”
