Chapter 22: The Hammer for Breaking the Wall
Bao Fu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Yes? Stirring your own hay with your hands? The rich are also from an aristocratic background, and such a disgusting thing is really uncomfortable for a while.
Zhao Liang rushed over and kicked him away, personally mixed the drenched wet grass with the hay, and yelled at Bao Fu: "Go and take off the oil lamp on the pillar!" ”
Bao Fu hurriedly took off the oil lamp in a panic and handed it to Zhao Liang carefully. Zhao Liang picked up a handful of grass branches, lit them on the bean fire, and then put them on the grass pile, and asked Chong Baofu, "Do you still have urine?" ”
"No, no." The big head of the rich shook like a rattle.
"Useless guy!" Zhao Liang scolded, then tore off two strips of cloth from the placket and stuffed them into his crotch. Bao Fu next to him was dumbfounded, but before he could react, Zhao Liang took out the cloth strip again, and slapped it on Bao Fu's face wetly: "Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose!" The other is reserved for personal use.
At this time, the flames gradually ignited the grass pile on the ground, but because some of the hay was already wet with urine, it did not form a violent flame, but instead a large amount of smoke filled the entire firewood room.
Zhao Liang blocked his mouth and nose with one hand, picked up a large handful of smoking hay bundles with the other, and threw them straight to the door. For a while, the four people who were fighting fiercely were also shrouded in smoke, coughing violently while fighting.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of being obstructed in his line of sight, Zhao Liang bent his waist, half-crawled and half-knelt to move to the vicinity of Suli and Shentu Yinmu, and saw that Shentu was about to block the space where Suli was struggling to strike, and suddenly jumped up and slapped his palm at the other party.
Shentu Yinmu deserved to be the top master of the Green Forest, even if he was affected by the smoke and was still trying his best to deal with the detachment, he still detected the sneak attack from the rear in time. Shentu Yinmu unhurriedly lifted his right leg, pushed it behind him, and kicked it on Zhao Liang's stomach. Zhao Liang screamed miserably, flew up in the air, and the palm blow that was originally intended to hit the opponent's back immediately turned into a sweep to someone's leg.
However, something unexpected happened. Just when Zhao Liang's palm subconsciously touched Shentu Yinmu's calf, an indescribable force instantly poured into Shentu Yinmu's body, shaking his internal organs violently, and his limbs trembled involuntarily. Fortunately, Zhao Liang was kicked away by him, and the time for his palm to touch it was extremely short, otherwise the feeling of pain would definitely be even stronger.
But even so, the tough guy Shen Tu Yinmu couldn't bear it anymore. He let out an uncontrollable roar of pain, trembled twice and collapsed to the ground, making it a little inexplicable. Because he heard Zhao Liang's cry just now, he temporarily let go of Shentu Yinmu, who had fallen to the ground, and rushed in the direction of Zhao Liang.
On the other side, Shen Zuolan, who was fighting fiercely with Shen Changlie, was also a little confused at this time. He heard Zheng Ni and Senior Brother screaming almost at the same time, and immediately felt that the situation was not good. Obviously, the other party used the smoke to sneak attack Shentu Yinmu. With the senior brother's kung fu being able to catch the way, then I am afraid that I will be even more dangerous in the future. Thinking of this, Shen Zuolan slashed his palm to force Shen Changlie back, and then quickly flew out of the door.
Shen Zuolan pulled away, but Shen Changlie did not pursue, because he was also worried about Zheng Ni's situation, so he hurriedly put away his fists and feet and turned to look for the general. At this time, the whole firewood room was completely smoky, and there was already an open fire starting to burn. Shen Changlie's eyes were stinged by the smoke, and his breathing became more and more uncomfortable, and he kept coughing while groping around. Suddenly, a delicate little hand grabbed Shen Changlie's wrist and forced him to squat, and then, a wet and slightly sao smell of cloth was pasted on his face. I only heard Zhao Liang's voice ringing in my ears: "Crawl and walk, follow me!" ”
Although Shen Changlie felt a little confused, he knew that everyone's lives were hanging by a thread at this time, and he couldn't delay time needlessly, so he didn't say a word, and followed closely behind Zhao Liang with both hands and feet.
After moving forward for about a dozen steps, Shen Changlie followed Zhao Liang to a corner of the firewood room, where Bao Fu was waiting for them. The effort was not great, and Su Li also groped and crawled over, and said to Zhao Liang: "Ni Mei...... Ahem, photo...... As you commanded, I threw out all the smoking hay...... Ahem...... Thrown out the door. ”
Zhao Liang seemed to be playing a trick, and out of nowhere, he took out another wet cloth, handed it to Su Li, and said at the same time: "Good job, as long as there is smoke outside, we will have a chance to slip away." ”
He put the cloth head over his mouth, felt a little better, and said, "Why should we run away? Ni Mei was brave and knocked down Shentu Yinmu with one move. At this time, there is no top master on the other side, so we will kill it, and maybe we can still capture Shen Zuolan. ”
What Zhao Liang is most afraid of is going out to fight hard, first, his kung fu is probably not even an ordinary master, and he is quite worried about his life when he fights with others; Second, if you accidentally miss and hurt someone else's life, then you will inevitably be held accountable by the bureau when you go back. So for the proposal of separation, he immediately denied: "Never!" Tonight, Shen Zuolan clearly wants to kill all the living people, if they use bows and arrows and hidden weapons against us, let's say that Lao Bao will definitely be finished. Prince Changlie also has absolutely no room for mistakes, otherwise Shen Zuolan's conspiracy will succeed. For now, the only way to do this is to escape from danger before making plans. ”
Bao Fu kept nodding on the side, expressing his resolute support for Zhao Liang's decision. After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that Zhao Liang was reasonable, if he was the only one here, he would naturally not be afraid of heaven and earth, but he could not ensure that Shen Changlie and Praise Fu were thorough under the siege of heavy troops, so it was really not possible to fight hard.
Shen Changlie asked, "Even if you want to avoid the enemy's edge for the time being, how can you escape?" ”
Zhao Liang pointed at the rich and said, "Old Bao, it's up to you this time to knock a hole into this adobe wall." Bao Fu was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to shirk, Zhao Liang then said: "Otherwise, we will kill from the main gate!" ”
At this time, Baofu no longer hesitated, shouted loudly, and walked towards the earthen wall. Suddenly, Bao Fu was ruthlessly bounced back by the wall, sat on the ground, and fell to pieces.
He approached the wall to check it out, and said happily: "Oh, it's really good, the wall is cracked." ”
Zhao Liang saw that there was hope, and hurriedly encouraged Praise Fu: "Good job!" Lao Bao, it's OK to do this again! ”
Bao Fu didn't understand what "OK" meant, but he knew that whether he could survive tonight or not depended on whether he could fix the earthen wall in front of him. He staggered to his feet, and after luckily lucked himself on the spot, he screamed and rushed forward.
The half-foot-thick adobe wall ——, was violently knocked down in half, and Baofu flew out along with the gray tiles of the wall. Zhao Liang shouted excitedly: "Leave the road in front, Gongzi supports Lao Bao, let's grab the horse and run for our lives!" ”
The small courtyard of Chang Ji is close to the post house stable, which was originally for the convenience of mobilizing manpower. Unexpectedly, this also cheapened Zhao Liang and them.
Everyone was very lucky tonight, the back wall of the firewood house was next to the horse stable, and Shen Zuolan did not expect in advance that these people could actually break through the wall without the help of any tools, so he only arranged two symbolic guards for the doorman here. As soon as the earthen wall collapsed, the two people were startled at first, and then they rushed in front of them like a demon king descending, and they were cleanly killed.
By the time Zhao Liang and Shen Changlie arrived with Bao Fu, who was in a semi-comatose state, Su Li had already prepared four war horses. At this time, Shen Zuolan's shout of scolding the commander was already heard behind him, and there were also chaotic footsteps and movements around, and some people kept shouting, "Archer, archer!" Zhao Liang and the others didn't dare to delay, hurriedly climbed on the horse's back, and rushed out of the stable.
The gate of the stables usually opens to the outside of the inn, so as soon as the four of them come out, they will be in the middle of nowhere. In the blink of an eye, the three torches and long dragons quickly closed in the three directions behind them, forcing Zhao Liang and the others to run towards the dark night, getting farther and farther away from the post house.
"Master Hou, Zuo Lan is not doing well, please punish him." Shen Zuolan knelt beside the couch and said with a sad face.
Shen Hou was wearing a big hat at this time, sitting cross-legged on the couch, and before he could recover from Fang Cai's surprise, he was stunned and said, "You, what did you just say?" Changlie was taken captive by the imperial envoy? ”
Shen Zuolan nodded and arched his hand: "Yes, Master Hou." Zuo Lan also just sorted out the ins and outs of the whole thing. General Chang Yu was assigned by Gongzi to secretly kidnap Baofu and hide him in the firewood room in his courtyard. Later, I don't know how Zheng Ni and others heard the news, so they raided there overnight. When the guards under the lowly rank were patrolling, they heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from General Chang's residence, so they ran over to check, only to find that Zheng Ni and Su Li had killed Chang Yu and forcibly captured Gongzi. ”
"Chang Ji was also killed?!" Shenhou was taken aback and said in disbelief: "What the hell is going on? How could it be such a field! ”
Shen Zuolan said: "The sword has no eyes, and the other party has a desire for revenge, so it is inevitable that it will hurt his life." Master Hou, I have already sent someone to hunt down the murderer, and I must get my son back safely. But we still have to plan ahead. ”
Shenhou frowned in distress, and asked after a while, "What are you going to do?" ”
Shen Zuolan replied, "Of course, it is the intention to protect the Shen clan. The imperial envoy was arrogant and murderous, killed my general of Shen Guo, and robbed the prince of Shen Guo, presumably in order to get rid of the crime, the wicked person sued first, and framed the Hou Ye and Shen Guo in Zhou Tianzi. At that time, the royal family will raise troops to ask for guilt, what can we do? ”
Shen Hou was most worried about the relationship with the Zhou royal family, and when he heard Shen Zuolan say this, he hurriedly said: "Don't act rashly!" The old man asked you, Zheng Ni and they rescued Bao Fu, why didn't they come to the old man after they succeeded? Even if they hurt people by mistake, but after all, it was because Chang Lie and Chang Ji kidnapped the imperial envoy, and our side was at fault first, and they didn't have to bear any responsibility at all. ”
"Isn't that understandable?" Zuo Lan said lightly: "Zheng Ni doesn't believe in Master Hou. If she concluded that Hou Ye was behind this incident, then of course she would not have run away to trap herself. Just seeing that she even left the Imperial Forest Army with her with her, it shows the depth of fear and anxiety in her heart. This time he fled back to meet Ji Gongyan, how he would add fuel and vinegar and exaggerate, he didn't have to think about it. ”
Shenhou was silenced by Zuo Lan's analysis, and his sword eyebrows were tightly locked. Shen Zuolan continued to mend the knife: "Master Hou, even if we don't think about anything, we can't ignore the safety of Prince Changlie." Zheng Ni and others kidnapped him back to Hojing, can there be good fruit to eat? ”
"So what do you say?" Shen Hou finally couldn't help but ask.
Shen Zuolan secretly said in his heart: Just wait for you old guy to speak. He said unhurriedly: "For today's plan, of course, we must first strive to recover the son." But no matter what, the court will not give up this time. Those royal ministers who have always been suspicious of us will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble and instigate the Son of Heaven to send troops to attack. If we don't prepare accordingly, we'll just sit back and wait. And Zuo Lan thought that the first strike was strong, and the second strike would suffer. ”
Shenhou hesitated for a moment, got up from the couch with a moment, and ordered: "Zuo Lan, you take my soldier talisman back to Cangyan City to transfer troops, and disarm all the nearby royal forest troops and bandits to take care of them." At the same time, all the Black Feather Messengers were called, and the old man had some secret letters that they needed to send out as soon as possible. In addition, I will prepare the carriage and horses, and I will leave immediately. ”
"Where is Master Hou going?"
"Yan Guo!"
An imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of Zuo Lan's mouth: "Obey orders!" ”
