Chapter 303: Poisoning
After being busy for half an hour, Zhao Liang finally finished setting up the camp tent, and was about to go to eat something with the grooms, and then sleep well, but unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Guang, the captain of the personal army, walked over to them again.
"Hey, you guys, don't be lazy yet!" Lu Guang shouted: "Go and put the war horses together, remove the bridles and saddle bridges, and let the horses be loose!" ”
The head of the groom of the pro-army team is a fifty-year-old veteran, and the soldiers in the battalion are used to calling him "old bones", hearing Lu Guang say this, the old bones were slightly stunned: "I said Lu team, there are rules in this army." When the commander was training our Beifu soldiers, he once made a rule, as long as it was a field march and camp, no matter how windy or rainy, it was a man who did not take off his armor and did not unsaddle his horse......"
Lu Guang glared at him angrily: "Old bones, you're afraid itchy, right?" Where did all this nonsense come from? Do whatever you want! Commander Xie also set up another rule, anyone who does not obey the order will be killed! What's wrong? Do you want to disobey my orders? ”
Seeing that the boss was blowing his beard and glaring, the smart groom next to him hurriedly came out to play a round for the old bones: "Oh, boss, don't break it when you are old." What Team Lu asks us to do, we just have to obey orders. At the moment, the wife is peaceful, and she is not marching and fighting, and besides, we are still in the jurisdiction of Beifu, what is there to worry about? ”
The other groom was also worried that the old bone would be punished by Lu Guang, and said, "That's what I said." Our general has always paid attention to military appearance, let the horses rest well, and only when they look at it tomorrow will they have spirit, right? Let's go, let's go, hurry up and rest when you're done. ”
The old bone knew Lu Guang's urine nature, and the hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, so he nodded stupidly, and beckoned his seven or eight men to go and gather the more than two hundred war horses in the whole battalion, unsaddle and rest.
Everyone listened to his orders and took action one after another, but Zhao Liang was the only one standing in place, with a look of surprise on his face.
The old bone patted him on the shoulder: "What's the matter, little brother? Doesn't it feel a little overwhelmed? If you are too tired, go to the tent and rest. When you first enlist in the army, you can't help it. ”
Zhao Liang nodded stunnedly, watching all his partners leave with the old bones, but all he was thinking about was another fateful thing!
Just now, he inadvertently poked out a message from Lu Guang's heart: as long as he gathered up the war horses after a while, and then secretly used his hands and feet, then Tao Siyuan and Xie Zhongxiu would definitely be unable to escape tonight!
Am me Nima? What's going on? Zhao Liang couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart. It's a pity that after Lu Guang finished instructing the old bones, he left quickly, and he didn't have a chance to find out at all.
However, just such a thought in Lu Guang's heart is enough to prove that this guy is not well-intentioned!
Zhao Liang smelled a hint of conspiracy from it, and the hairs on his back couldn't help but stand on end. Think about it, if you can't escape without the help of the war horse, it means that the danger that Tao Siyuan and Xie Zhongxiu are about to face tonight is by no means as simple as secretly rubbing the poisoner.
It's a huge crisis that even hundreds of pro-soldiers can't protect them!
Could it be a sneak attack by a large army? Zhao Liang's heart sank, although he did not know the various contradictions within the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Beifu Army, but like the one in front of him, launching troops and horses to attack his own generals in his own country was really no different from rebellion.
This kind of sensational deed requires both courage and strength.
A person who can have such courage and strength must also be a ruthless character, if he doesn't make a move, he will definitely win as soon as he makes a move, except for Tao Siyuan and Xie Zhongxiu, the rest of the people in the pro-soldier team are probably inevitably following together.
However, at the moment, he has no tangible evidence, even if he wants to report to Tao Siyuan and let them strengthen their precautions, it is impossible for the other party to accept it, and maybe he will in turn doubt whether he did it or not
What ulterior motives does he have?
I'll go, what the is this?
Zhao Liang was depressed in his heart, thinking about whether to hurry up and apply oil to the soles of his feet, and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, lest the city gate catch fire and he would become a pond fish that was affected.
However, just as he was about to slip away, Lu Guang suddenly went and returned, still holding a white horse in his hand. Zhao Liang was slightly stunned, and recognized that it was Tao Siyuan's beloved mount "Feiyun".
Lu Guang glanced at Zhao Liang and shouted, "Hey! Why are you still hanging around here, boy? Get out of here! ”
Zhao Liang scolded secretly, and reluctantly stepped forward, Lu Guang handed the reins to his hand, and ordered: "This is our general's heart and soul baby, you must serve well, otherwise beware of eating military sticks!" Where's the forage you've prepared for Feiyun? Take me to see it. ”
Zhao Liang of course knew what the other party was doing, but he didn't say anything, he promised to obey the order, and while leading the horse, he led Lu Guang to the forage cart parked next to the groom's tent.
At this time, the old bones had already driven the whole team's war horses to the grass outside the camp to unsaddle and rest according to Lu Guang's previous instructions, so there was no one here in the forage truck.
Zhao Liang pointed to a car and said to Lu Guang: "Captain, what is put on it is all fine materials for the general's war horses." ”
Lu Guang glanced over there and snorted, "Well, you bring a bag over first, and after removing the saddle for Feiyun later, I will watch you feed it with my own eyes." ”
Zhao Liang agreed, turned around and took a small bag of feed from the car, put it in front of Lu Guang, and then ran to unsaddle the war horse.
Taking advantage of Zhao Liang's lack of attention, Lu Guang opened the bag with one hand, took out a paper bag from his arms with the other, poured a bunch of yellow powder into the bag, and then gently stirred it with his hand.
Lu Guanggang got things done and was about to call Zhao Liang to feed the horse, but at this time, Zhao Liang suddenly asked lightly behind him: "Hey, what kind of plane are you doing in the hay?" ”
This sentence almost didn't scare Lu Guang to death, he didn't care about thinking about what "plane" meant, and shouted angrily: "! What are you doing?! Sneaky! ”
"You still have the face to say I'm sneaky?" Zhao Liang looked around at no one, and smiled for a while: "What did you just pour into the hay?" Don't you want to do something shady? ”
When Lu Guang heard this, he was immediately annoyed and angry, and scolded: "Bastard boy! Blood spews out for no reason. Which eye of yours saw me pour something, believe it or not, I gouged it out for you! ”
Zhao Liang smiled slightly: "Don't pretend." What you're thinking about now is not to gouge out my eyeballs at all, but to wonder if there are other people around here, so you can take my life directly. ”
Lu Guang couldn't help but be taken aback by the other party's words, and then said viciously: "Zhao Liang, you are looking for death!" ”
"Looking for death? Lu Guang, you may not be able to beat me. Zhao Liang still looked relaxed: "If you don't believe it, you might as well try it boldly." ”
"Who the hell are you?" Lu Guang was a little inflated by his calm and unhurried bearing, so he had to open his mouth first to test: "What do you want?" ”
Zhao Liang said unhurriedly: "Don't talk so much nonsense. If you want to touch my bottom, it is better to let me guess first, what were you going to feed Feiyun just now...... Oh, it turned out to be a broken intestine grass, you are really vicious, the horse is so cute, you can bear to do this? ”
Lu Guang was startled, and was about to open his mouth to deny it, only to hear Zhao Liang continue: "Let me guess again, why did we put all the war horses together just now and remove the bridle saddle...... Oh, it's amazing, it turned out that I wanted the soldiers to have no leg strength, and it was difficult to protect the main general to break through. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Guang suddenly became angry in his heart, and he couldn't care if there was anyone around, so he took out a short sword from his waist and pounced on Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang had already taken precautions, seeing that the other party was rushing forward with great momentum, but there was no panic in his movements.
But it's no wonder that Zhao Liang at this time is no longer the rookie who just added work just now. Especially when he and Xiaoya went through life and death on the battlefield of Song Liao several times, they can be regarded as being killed from the sea of corpses and blood, whether it is psychological quality or actual combat experience, it is not the same as him before.
In addition, in order to improve his business ability, Zhao Liang trained hard in various martial arts whenever he had time. Therefore, when it comes to dealing with an ancient warrior at this time, he is not only very confident, but also his strength is indeed not bad.
Seeing Lu Guang swinging a short sword and rushing forward, Zhao Liang saw the opponent's approach, dodged lightly, avoided the blade, and then used a whip leg, and suddenly swept towards Lu Guang's lower plate.
To be able to become Tao Siyuan's personal captain, of course, Lu Guang's kung fu is not in vain, he saw that the blow missed, and immediately retreated, which was able to dodge Zhao Liang's horizontal kick, and then rubbed his body again, stabbing Zhao Liang in the chest.
Zhao Liang fought and retreated, without the slightest impatience, and did not give Lu Guang a chance, after dodging the opponent's several fierce killing moves in succession, Zhao Liang took advantage of Lu Guang's excessive force, accidentally exposed a gap opportunity, stepped and raised his knees, and a side kick went straight to the opponent's head.
Lu Guang was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head and necked to prevent being shot in the head by Zhao Liang. However, he didn't expect that this was just a false move by Zhao Liang, just waiting for him to make this knee-jerk reaction. Seeing that Lu Guang was obedient, Zhao Liang's side kick suddenly retracted like lightning, and swept at his wrist instead.
Hearing only a sound, the short sword in Lu Guang's hand was kicked away by Zhao Liang, smashed into the forage truck next to him, and bounced to the ground.
Lu Guang couldn't afford a sore wrist, so he hurriedly did a backflip to avoid Zhao Liang's ensuing punches, temporarily widening the distance between the two sides.
Zhao Liangyan was optimistic that it would not be easy to recover the situation, so he was willing to let go of the opportunity and grab two steps to fight with Lu Guang again.
Although Lu Guang's kung fu is good and he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield, he still feels a little overwhelmed in the face of Zhao Liang's offensive.
The fighting techniques used by Zhao Liang are a combination of the essence of various boxing techniques at home and abroad, including Chinese martial arts, Jeet Kune Do, taekwondo, karate, judo, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, etc., coupled with modern competitive sports science, it can be said that the moves are concise and efficient, and the lethality is extremely high, which is the magic weapon of hand-to-hand combat for secret agents.
Although there is no such strong internal force as in martial arts, ordinary people can take it casually, and the result must not be much better.
Lu Guang was accidentally hit by Zhao Liang three times in a row, and he almost lost his breath in pain. He knew in his heart that if he continued to fight like this, he might not be the opponent of this little groom.
Suddenly, Lu Guang realized that he seemed to have made a mistake just now.
Because of being a thief, when Zhao Liang discovered the poisoning conspiracy, the first thing he thought of was to kill people. But in reality, there is no need for me to do this.
On the contrary, he only needed to shout and summon the nearby sentries to rush over, and he could bite back, saying that Zhao Liang was secretly going to poison the general's war horse, which he inadvertently noticed, and the other party saw that the conspiracy was exposed, and suddenly burst out and hurt others, in a vain attempt to harm himself.
One is the captain of the pro-soldiers, and the other is a groom who has just enlisted in the army, and it is naturally self-evident whose words everyone will believe.
Thinking of this, Lu Guang secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and hurriedly tried his best to block Zhao Liang's heavy punch, intending to open his mouth to shout.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Liang suddenly laughed and said, "Idiot, did you think of using this trick until now?" It's late! ”
