Chapter 31 Departure to Timur
Ten days later, a total of 6,000 infantry and cavalry sent by the five military battalions lined up on the outskirts of Beijing, a big man riding and a tall horse looked at the soldiers and horses under his command, all the soldiers were in high spirits, the armor was shining with layers of silver in the sun, and the weapons were also oozing out of the sun, telling people that this was an elite team that had experienced a hundred battles. Strong soldiers and strong horses are the best way to describe this team. I saw four horses rushing out from not far away, the big man looked fixedly, and in the blink of an eye, the four horses came to him, and four people fell from the horses, one of them was the same height as himself, and his beard was slightly open, and he was burly, only to see the man hug his fist at him and said: "In Xia Duhai, the door is five, and the family teacher sent me to visit first, dare to ask Brother Ren is General Shi." The person who was called General Shi was very polite and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the contemptible ginseng general Shi Heng, Brother Du's name is like thunder, today I saw the true character of the hero, what do these little brothers call them." Qin Rufeng, Lu Yunzhi, Qu Xiangtian, the three of them saluted again and again to report to their homes.
After a few people said a few words, a team of more than 30 people appeared, led by Mr. Shi. Shi Heng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Shi Heng visited Mr. Shi, forgive the armor and inconvenience to salute, Mr. Shi still remembered what Mr. Shi mentioned in the past, I don't know how Mr. will be in the near future." Mr. Shi laughed and turned over and dismounted, and said to Shi Heng: "Okay, I'm just talking about it casually, you don't have to care, but the general will have a big catastrophe in the future." Shi Heng's face was slightly pale, and he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Shi, don't scare me, he said that I will become a general in the future, and it is as Mr. said." Today you said a big disaster, then Shi Heng is not going to die on the spot, sir, please point me to the maze to save me. After speaking, he bowed deeply.
Mr. Shi said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry, you will be promoted to a rich fortune in a year, but there is also a catastrophe coming, but it will not be fatal, as long as the general can regain his strength, he will be rich and noble, unattainable by the world, and the title of the prince is just around the corner, but Shi's skills are unfamiliar, and he has not calculated the reason for the catastrophe and the general's prosperity." But the general can rest assured, Shi congratulated the general first. When Shi Heng heard that he was going to be knighted, he was naturally happy, and he thanked him again and again, and he believed in what Mr. Shi said.
Fang Qingze rode a horse and galloped, and before the horse stopped, he dismounted and made a gesture to Mr. Shi and said, "Master, can I bring some goods to Timur, just in time to get more news from trade." Before Mr. Shi could answer, Han Yueqiu replied coldly: "What kind of goods, heaven and earth people don't seek fame and fortune, and what to do if there is a mess." Fang Qingze looked at Mr. Shi with a pitiful face, but Mr. Shi smiled and said gently: "Qingze, as long as you don't delay your journey." Fang Qingze happily thanked him again and again, and then blew a whistle, and then more than a dozen carriages appeared in front of everyone, Fang Qingze said: "Master, don't worry, these carts follow the back of the team, and the advance will not affect the march, and the retreat will not block the back road, you can rest assured." Mr. Shi nodded, stopped talking, Du Hai walked up, patted Fang Qingze's head with laughter, and said: "We have a total of more than 30 people, except for the senior brother with a few junior brothers and family members sitting in Beijing, the rest of the people have come out, we only have a total of four carriages loaded with the items used in addition to no one's bags and packages, you kid alone found more than a dozen carriages, it's a caravan." But you kid is really smart, it's a safe thing to follow the army, the fox and the tiger and the bandits don't dare to rob you, and the government doesn't want your official documents, who gave you ideas. ”
Qin Rufeng said twice: "It is estimated that it is himself, this kid has gotten into the eyes of money, every time I find Qu Xiangtian to drink, he joins in the fun, but I haven't eaten one of his banquets for so many years, and he suddenly went downstairs and went out during the drinking banquet, and came back with the money after a while, it turned out that he poured the goods on the street downstairs a few times and made a net profit of seven or eight taels of silver, this kid should not enter the Zhongzheng lineage, he should be a profiteer." ”
The crowd laughed in unison. Qu Xiangtian asked, "Qingze, what kind of goods are you carrying?" Fang Qingze took out a list and read it: "Thirty pieces of silk and satin, fifty pieces of porcelain......" Qu Xiangtian listened to it for a long time and didn't see Fang Qingze have the intention of stopping, so he hurriedly covered his ears and fled.
Mr. Shi said to General Shi Heng: "General Shi, let's go." Mr. Shi looked up at the sun that was already hanging above his head and said, "Wait a minute, this time the prison army is Wang Shan, and he has brought a lot of brocade guards, but why don't you come when the hour is not early?" After hearing this, Mr. Shi frowned slightly, stopped talking, and sat cross-legged on the saddle, the horses kept moving, but Mr. Shi was as steady as Mount Tai, closed his eyes and rested, and after this hand was revealed, the sergeants couldn't help but admire deeply.
After half an hour, a group of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives appeared in the distance, and the team of a group of people had no discipline at all, and forty or fifty people walked slowly in the direction of Mr. Shi and the others, and from a distance, they looked like hooligans who came to beat and fight. Mr. Shi whispered a few words to Han Yueqiu, and Han Yueqiu shouted: "Come back quickly, the family teacher doesn't want to see you, if you come with you, don't blame our subordinates for being ruthless." Wang Shan is the nephew of Wang Zhen, the great eunuch who leans towards the government and the opposition, but he is still afraid of Mr. Shi's prestige, so he naturally stopped in the distance and discussed with each other.
Mr. Shi said: "Qin Rufeng, Gao Huai, Qu Xiangtian, Fang Qingze, Lu Yunzhi It's time for the five of you to teach these villains a lesson." The five of them said yes, and several of them walked towards Shi Heng, Gao Huai pointed to Lu Yunzhi and said, "Give me and this little white face two bows with one stone and five buckets, and these three big bears will come with three stone bows." Shi Heng looked at the thinner Gao Huai and the more slender Lu Yunzhi, and laughed: "This doll has listened to too many books, archery should be a soft bow instead of a strong bow you heard, and it is okay to practice strength, but can you two pull the bow with one stone and five stones?" The Mongols were good at firing salvos to kill two with one stone. Then he looked at Fang Qingze again, Qu Xiangtian, Qin Rufeng and the three Shi Heng had a much better impression of these three people, after all, he was a martial artist, these three were very strong and sturdy, except for Fang Qingze's cunning expression of a profiteer and occasionally flashed the loyal and honest face, the remaining two were heroes, Shi Heng was a martial artist and naturally liked to deal with rough people, so he arched his hand at the three and said: "The three heroes are good, but the big bow in the army has not reached three stones, there are only two bows with two stones and four buckets, However, few people can shoot out and be more inaccurate, so I'd better change a few soft bows for the five to hunt. ”
Qu Xiangtian looked up to the sky and laughed and said, "We are not hunting, we are shooting people." "Shoot whom?" Shi Heng asked. Qu Xiangtian's eyes skimmed at Wang Shan, who was hesitating in the distance, Shi Heng grew his mouth and was surprised, and then said in a low voice: "He is at least two hundred and fifty steps away from us, and the bow is given to you, don't say I gave it." Then he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take the bows, and after a while, they were in front of several people, three strong bows with one stone and five buckets, and two giant bows with two stones and four buckets.
At this moment, Wang Shan became restless, shouting and urging the group of rabble under his command to start riding horses, Lu Yunzhi Gao Huai pulled the bow and arrow, and shot out with a whoosh, although it was far away, the arrow seemed to be not affected by any wind direction, an arc shot out, when a jade hit the crown of Wang Shan, the hat flew out at once, the jade was also shattered, and suddenly Wang Shan's hair scattered and scattered, and another arrow hit Wang Shan's cloak gold buckle, the gold buckle broke in response to the sound The arrow did not stop, tore Wang Shan's clothes. Wang Shan was so frightened that he didn't dare to move forward and hurriedly reined in the horse, but the horse did not stop when he heard the wind blowing, and two strong forces came to him and was immediately dragged off the horse, and the two strong forces came and the wide sleeves respectively, Wang Shan fell to the ground, and the horses behind him hurriedly stopped so that he did not trample him under the horse to death. Wang Shan trembled and wanted to raise his arm, but he was dragged, and when he looked to the ground, two thick bows and arrows were exposed along his wide sleeves and plunged deep into the ground. Wang Shan was stupid, although the cuffs were wide and running, someone could shoot into the cuffs and nail himself to the ground, and suddenly the fear of death rose, and he was so frightened that he kept trembling This, all the brocade guards hurriedly dismounted and wasted their strength before pulling out the arrows, these two arrows were shot by Qin Rufeng and Fang Qingze.
Qu Xiangtian hugged his arms around the sky and laughed, looked at the strong bow on the ground that had been picked and left, kicked away, took down a hanging iron spear from his horse, and then said with a smile: "Second brother and third brother, this kid has run a few steps, and there are still one hundred and fifty steps, watch me sell one." As he spoke, he ran a little, and threw an iron spear with one arm in his waist and shot out.
Wang Shan had just been lifted up from the ground, and his subordinates were also so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they were waiting for Wang Shan, whose lips were constantly trembling, to give an order, but in fact, his heart had already risen in his heart. Suddenly, the sound of breaking the sky was loud, and an iron spear fell from the sky and was in the middle of Wang Shan's mount about five paces, and Wang Shan fell from this horse just now.
After the iron spear touched the horse, before the horse could make a neigh, it was pierced and fell to the ground, and was nailed to the ground fiercely, and suddenly blood gushed out like a spring, completely watering Wang Shan and the few people who supported him.
This time, there was no need for Wang Shan to give an order, and many Jinyi guards did not look forward or backward, they all turned on their horses and turned to flee, and the sound of crying fathers and mothers was endless. The five of them looked at each other and smiled, and they were arrogant for a while. The Zhongzheng people in the first line smiled slightly when they saw the performance of the five, while Mr. Shi stroked his beard and looked at the five rising stars under his door with a smile. All the sergeants grew their mouths, and the superb skills of the five shocked these long-fought sergeants, and they were shocked for a while, and after a short silence, the crowd suddenly resounded one after another cheers, and it took a long time to calm down.
Mr. Shi said in a calm tone: "Since the prison army has escaped, let's set off now, Timur, we, the heavens and the earth, have come to pay a visit." ”
