Chapter 61: Infighting
Wang Hui was speechless by Zhang Shumo's question, he didn't expect that this time the officers and soldiers were pressing on the cottage step by step just because they killed the people of the Lou family, and he didn't know who was so confused and provoked people who shouldn't be provoked. Wang Hui couldn't help cursing in his heart, and then he suddenly heard Niu Ben's shout: "Be careful! There is an ambush! ”
In an instant, Lou Zaiying and Lou Ang in front of Wang Hui rushed out directly, Wang Hui didn't have time to think about it, and wanted to wipe Lou Jun's neck as soon as possible. Who knew that Lou Jun was also ruthless, and leaned back violently with all the strength of his body, although Wang Hui's center of gravity was unstable, but the knife had already slashed Lou Jun's neck.
But in the blink of an eye, Wang Hui felt a huge resistance from the blade, and it turned out that the first thing Lou Zaiying rushed over was to hold the blade with both hands. At this time, Lou Cang and the others had already killed, one hugged Wang Hui's neck, and the remaining two hugged Wang Hui's arm, separating Wang Hui and Lou Jun alive. Lou Ang hurriedly caught Lou Jun.
The scene in front of him made Zhang Shumo's heart beat faster, and he felt that his heart had jumped to his throat. In order to stop Wang Hui, Lou Zaiying held the blade of the knife with both hands, and the flesh and blood on his hands had become blurred, and blood flowed down the blade.
Zhang Shumo felt that his body was uncontrollable every time he saw the flowing blood, and when Master Lou took the initiative to beg for death, his neck was cut open and only a little blood dripped out, Zhang Shumo felt dizzy and quickly closed his eyes. But this time the speed of both sides was too fast, Zhang Shumo didn't have time to react at all, he only felt that his eyes were black, and he was about to faint, before fainting, Zhang Shumo used all his strength to shout to everyone: "Let him go back, this is the last chance!" With that, he fainted.
Seeing this, Niu Ben was in a hurry, and shouted to his subordinates: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! After speaking, he walked down the sentry post and shouted: "Go out with me and save Wang Hui!" ”
Lou Cang and the others had already made up for Wang Hui, but they couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Zhang Shumo's words. Lou Zaiying saw that Zhang Shumo suddenly fainted, and hurriedly caught him. Although he didn't know what Zhang Shumo was going to do, Lou Zaiying still shouted at Lou Cang: "Third grandfather, leave him alone, let's withdraw quickly!" ”
Wang Hui took advantage of Lou Cang's stunned efforts and struggled to get up, Lou Cang heard Lou Zaiying's words, and no longer delayed, and immediately said: "Retreat!" After speaking, several people ran back with Zhang Shumo and Lou Jun.
This is Lou Jun's face has turned pale, Zhang Shumo is unconscious, Lou Zaiying did not dare to stay longer and immediately ordered to retreat, and everyone went down the mountain along the road.
In the grass not far away, Hu Kun said a little anxiously: "Brother Lu, I saw the second son fall down just now, he can't be an arrow, right?" ”
Lu Li was also a little nervous: "It's too dark, I can't see anything clearly, let's go down the mountain with them first." ”
On the other side, Niu Ben and his people found that Wang Hui had run back before he could get out of the cottage, and he was overjoyed: "Brother, you have suffered, but it's okay!" ”
Wang Hui smiled at Niu Ben: "If it weren't for the eldest brother to come to the rescue, I'm afraid the brother would be more than lucky." After speaking, Wang Hui couldn't help but think of Zhang Shumo's words: The other party had obviously caught him just now, and it was the scholar who ordered him to let him go. One last chance, is it a reminder to me?
Just thinking about it, Niu Ben patted Wang Hui on the shoulder: "Brother, just now you said that the government arranged for spies to get into the cottage?" ”
Wang Hui nodded, and then glanced around: "I overheard their conversation, saying that someone had submitted to them. Wang Hui didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not, so he simply concealed what Zhang Shumo said to him first.
Niu Ben turned to look at the others when he heard this: "My cow is not thin with you on weekdays, but you actually betrayed me, let me find out who it is, and directly peel the skin and cramp!" ”
Liu Bao and Slender Ma stood aside, and when they heard someone mutinied, Slender Horse immediately said: "Brother Niu, this matter is not sloppy, if there is really a spy, open the gate of the village while we are sleeping, and the officers and soldiers will drive straight in." ”
Niu Ben felt numb in his brain when he heard this, and he couldn't even sleep peacefully after that. At this time, Wang Hui suddenly drank: "Are you embarrassed to say? If it weren't for the salvation of you, how would we have ended up like this? ”
Niu Ben no longer cared about face when he heard this, and said directly: "Don't worry, Brother Slender Horse, the things in our village will naturally be dealt with, you have also seen this time, we have lost a lot of brothers in order to save Brother Liu, Brother Liu at least give the brothers a little medical expenses, right?" ”
Liu Bao arched his hand towards everyone: "This is naturally not a problem, but all of Liu's money is hidden in Qinghua City, and after this limelight, I will go and get it, and the benefits of your brothers are indispensable!" ”
"Yes, yes, my eldest brother has always been a good talker, and all brothers can rest assured of this. The most important thing at the moment is how to find out the spies, so as not to fall into the way of the government. The skinny horse quickly changed the subject.
Niu Ben scratched his head and looked at Wang Hui, Wang Hui had to let people see if there were any raw faces mixed in, and after learning that there were no raw faces, Wang Hui had no choice. The current situation is the most complicated, there is no evidence of who has surrendered to the government, even if he knows that there are spies in the cottage, there is nothing he can do. I think this is also the reason why the other party just made it clear to himself.
There is also a situation that there are no spies in the cottage at all, and the scholar made something out of nothing. But this possibility is too low, the scholar seems to be a careless person, and exchanging more than forty people for a dozen soldiers is obviously not in line with his character, so he must be trying to insert spies to come in, so as to wipe out the cottage.
Thinking of this, Wang Hui had no choice but to retreat: "Big brother, this spy will definitely not be able to shine for a while, and the brothers are tired for another day, so let's go and rest first." It's just that the wronged brothers have to tie their hands together with ropes when they sleep, so that whoever has an abnormality can be found directly. ”
Niu Ben nodded after listening: "This method is good, then you will be wronged by everyone." Rest everyone but the vigil! ”
On the other side, Lou Zaiying led his troops to Shankou Village to join Lou Bo's troops, and because it was getting late, everyone decided to repair in Shankou Village for one night and go back the next day.
Zhang Shumo woke up halfway through, and was relieved after learning that Master Lou was not worried about his life. After settling Lou Jun, Lou Cang and Lou Ang found Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying together.
"Zhang Shumo, what did you do when you were in the capital?" Lou Ang couldn't help but be suspicious, judging from Zhang Shumo's actions today, he was by no means an ordinary person.
Lou Cang also echoed: "Yes, yes! I didn't expect you kid to be able to strategize, today's incident is your first credit! ”
Zhang Shumo hurriedly shook his head: "I am also a member of the Lou family, but I am just to save my grandfather, how can I say that I have any credit." My father was an official in the court, so I learned one or two strategies from him since I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be useful. ”
