Chapter 17: Heroes Save ...... Beauty?
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Gao Lianqi's face was pale, and he pointed at Yu Cheng and scolded: "The prison is heavy, and you actually let a group of thieves come and go freely, what is the use of you!"
"Lord Taishou is angry." Yu Cheng bowed his head and smiled: "In the eyes of the last general, I am afraid that this matter was done by Liangshan Caokou."
"Song Jiang's guy was defeated by this official the day before yesterday and left, how dare he come to attack the city again!" Gao Lian took a sip of tea, but he was still angry, and with a flick of his hand, he slammed the teacup to the ground, so frightened that Yu Cheng trembled, just afraid that his head would not be protected.
"Your Excellency, please look at this." Yu Cheng took out a document and handed it over respectfully: "This is a notice posted by Liangshan Caokou all over the city yesterday."
Gao Lian took the notice paperwork, and his eyes quickly swept from the paper.
Yu Cheng said proudly: "According to the analysis of the general, this gang of thieves must want to save Chai Jin first, and then take the city with the thieves outside the city, fortunately, I laid an ambush at the city gate last night, Lin Chong Huarong must have retreated after seeing that the plan was broken."
"This Liangshan grass is not rampant!" Gao Lian was so angry that he tore the paperwork to shreds, and yelled: "Come on, immediately order troops to fight, and swear not to return to the army if you don't take Song Jiang's head!"
"Wait." Gao Lian was about to go out, but he saw a person walking in outside, it was General Gao Tang Prefecture, known as Liu Yun, the flying dragon general.
"My lord, from the point of view, since Song Jiang suddenly attacked, he must have come prepared." Liu Yun clasped his hands into fists and said in a serious tone: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult for those who underestimate the enemy to win, why don't you ask Captain Gao to send troops to wipe out this gang of thieves?"
Liu Yun thought to himself that what he said was not leaky, and if he didn't reward himself, he would definitely adopt it.
"Ridiculous!" Who knew that as soon as Gao Lian heard Liu Yun finish speaking, he immediately scolded: "This little thing will also trouble Lord Taiwei, what kind of face does this official have, and how can he worry about the puddles and grasses, if you are afraid of death, just stay in the city!"
After speaking, Gao Lian shook his hand and left.
Yu Cheng glanced at Liu Yun with a sneer, and walked out the door without looking back.
"That's it."
Liu Yun's clenched fists slowly loosened again, a self-deprecating smile crossed the corners of his mouth, shook his head, and left the Taishou Mansion with his legs raised.
The morning glow has gradually risen, and the top of the dome is gradually covered by a bright sun.
The two horses were galloping in the forest, and Dong Ping knew in his heart that he had to rush to Song Jiang's camp as soon as possible.
If Gao Lian can't hold back and go to war in advance, then all his efforts will be in vain.
Unexpectedly, there was a violent sound ahead.
It's less than ten miles from the city, and it's unlikely that civilians, even strongmen, will appear here when the two armies are fighting.
The sound of quarrels at such times is really suspicious.
As the voice approached from afar, a sense of uneasiness rose in Dong Ping's heart.
Looking at the village not far away, Dong Ping lowered his head and whipped it, and the horse quickly ran forward.
For some reason, I always feel like something is wrong with my heart beating today.
"What do you want to do?"
A girl in a lilac dress stood in the middle of the road, her hands tightly protecting the package on her body, and her vigilant eyes looked around.
The neighborhood was already surrounded by dozens of bandits, armed with knives and axes, apparently outlaws.
There was a greedy glint in the eyes of these people, and the target was naturally the maiden and the package on her body.
After a while, the group of thieves bypassed the road, and a leader-like man walked out, the man's eyes revealed a trace of fire, and he looked at the girl and said: "Little girl, we are not for anything else, we just want to ask for some money, if you cooperate obediently, I can make you feel better."
"You're dreaming." The girl said slightly angrily: "Miss Ben will not be afraid of you people!"
When the leader heard this, he was immediately happy: "Yo, this is still a big lady, I have changed my mind, if you go back to the mountain with me and let your family pay regular filial piety, I will treat you well."
"If you don't want to die, just give it a try." When the girl heard that this man was becoming more and more rude, she also changed her attitude, and there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes.
The leader sneered: "Then I can't help you, my group of brothers are not very peaceful!"
When the group of thieves heard the boss speak, they were naturally overjoyed, and almost rushed forward.
The girl watched as the dozens of bandits approached her, and her body kept retreating backwards, but despite this, there was no trace of fear on her face.
Her hand gradually reached to her waist, and the girl held her breath, staring at the bandits at the front.
"Bang!"
Hearing a loud thunderous sound, all the bandits were instantly suppressed, so that they stopped their actions.
"This ...... How is this possible? ”
The first few people to turn their heads couldn't believe what they were seeing.
I saw a man lying on the ground, as if there was great fear in his eyes, his abdomen had been pierced by a steel spear, and he obviously couldn't live!
Before these people could react, soon, several more bandits fell down one after another, until after dropping seven or eight corpses, they finally reacted.
"Let's go up together and surround this guy." I don't know who shouted, and the rest stopped panicking.
The leader looked into the crowd and saw a young man with a single gun, rushing left and right in the crowd, the spear was everywhere, killing a sea of blood in the crowd, no matter how he shouted, his minions were just frightened and fled in all directions.
These bandits and grass robbers are just from peasant families, and they haven't even seen blood a few times, how can they ever see such characters?
In the panic below, another person jumped off the roof from the nearby roof with a gun, shouting: "Hebei Tang Bin is here, if you are not afraid of death, come!"
Seeing that this person was brave, the leader came forward to fight with a spear, but unexpectedly, there was no three battles, and the spear in his hand was picked up several feet away, and he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly fled to the side, instructing his subordinates to surround Tang Bin.
"Brother Dong Ping, why are you here?" When the girl saw that it was Dong Ping, she was overjoyed.
"I'm going to ask you more." Dong Ping snorted coldly, "Aren't you in Dongping City, what are you ......doing here?"
"Brother Dong Ping, be careful!" Cheng Wan'er's pupils suddenly dilated, and in the flash of light, the long sword in her hand had already stabbed forward!
A scream came from behind, Dong Ping was shocked, and when he hurriedly turned his head to look, he saw that the leader behind him originally planned to sneak attack him, but he was pierced through his chest by a sword, and he was already dead!
"Leader Zhou Tong is dead!"
There were only twenty or thirty minions left at the scene, and they were just stubbornly resisting, but now that their leader was dead again, they naturally scattered in a hurry and ran to the outskirts of the village like they were dead, only hating their father and mother for missing two legs.
"Wan'er, thanks to you just now, did they hurt you?" Dong Ping looked at Cheng Wan'er, with a hint of doubt in his concerned tone.
She has never seen Cheng Wan'er use a sword since she was a child, how could she have such good skills today?
Cheng Wan'er shook her head, with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "It's okay, don't worry about Wan'er."
"So, tell me now, why are you here?"
"People just want to help you." Chen Wan'er said aggrievedly: "I pestered Hu Cheng all day long and asked, that guy is a stuffy stick, last time I finally ran into Xu An and got drunk, so I told me where you went, and I have to follow you this time."
"Give me back right away." Dong Ping pointed to the distance, and his tone was resolute: "Fighting a war is life and death, what are you doing fooling around with a girl?"
Cheng Wan'er didn't rush to refute, but was silent for a while before she spoke: "Wan'er has the ability to protect herself, you also saw it just now."
"And weren't we always together?"
After taking a deep breath, Dong Ping calmed down.
In fact, he didn't have to drive Cheng Wan'er away, after all, he Dong Ping couldn't live up to this intention.
It's just that although Cheng Wan'er's skills are beyond his expectations, he has no eyes on the battlefield, and he can't be distracted to pay attention to Cheng Wan'er's safety at that time.
What's more, there is no room for children on the battlefield, if you go to Song Jiang's army and take her with you, I don't know what Song Jiang will think of himself!
Therefore, some things have to be chosen by themselves.
"Are you really not leaving?"
Cheng Wan'er was anxious: "Brother Dong Ping, why can't you believe ......"
"Bang"
Dong Ping put down his right hand, and his left arm gently supported Cheng Wan'er's slowly sliding body.
"I'm sorry, I'm doing this for your own good."
Dong Ping sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Tang Bin, send her back to Dongping City!"
"Big brother, then you have to be more careful." Tang Bin watched Dong Ping put Cheng Wan'er on the horse and tied it with a rope, and chuckled: "I'll be back soon after I send my sister-in-law back."
Dong Ping coughed embarrassedly: "Okay, you don't have to worry about it, just pay attention to safety all the way, I am sure, no matter what happens, Song Jiang will not dare to do anything to me."
