Chapter 36: The Chang'an Spy War (Part II)
Dong Chong pointed to the rich businessmen who were standing around, sitting or lying, with crooked hats, covering their chests, and their eyebrows were not good things at first glance, and asked with a sad face: "Ai Gongzi, these are the sturdy families you brought to help me?" ”
The white and chubby Ai Jin was dressed as a martial artist today, and there was a sword hanging from his waist, he looked very capable, he nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, some of these people have been with me for three years, and I bring them with me every time I fight in a group or something, brave and reliable." Ai Jin turned his head and shouted, "Long Er, you came over to see Second Master Dong." ”
A tall man with an obscene appearance trotted away, and ran to Dong Chong turned over and knelt down, "Villain Long Er, I've seen Dong Erye, Second Master An." ”
Dong Chong carefully looked at the head of the Ai family, thin and tall, with sparse yellow hair, a face as long as a donkey, limbs as thin as a hemp rod, and a wide and long big knife hanging on his waist, how to look at it is uncoordinated. Dong Chong said tentatively: "What kind of martial arts do you know?" Can you bring people into battle? ”
Long Er seemed to have been greatly insulted, and turned around and shouted: "Brothers, stand in line, set up a formation, let Dong Erye see your might, if you behave well, maybe Dong Erye will take you into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and you will have endless blessings." ”
More than two hundred members of the Ai family agreed in a miscellaneous manner, and one by one they chose a position and stood up-forming a formation that Dong Chong, who had some military knowledge, couldn't understand anything, Long Er took the lead, pulled out a big knife and shouted, "The old tree is rooted!" "Slashed diagonally downward, more than 200 Ai family members either used waist knives, or short swords, or wooden sticks, and some simply used a few branches with leaves, unevenly swept downward, stirring up a large amount of dust, and the momentum was also immense-making Dong Chonglian sneezed.
Ryuuji roared again, "White Snake spits letters!" The long knife stabbed forward softly, and the Ai family also followed the gourd pattern, only listening to the sound of "ouch" and "ouch", many of the family members in the front row were stabbed by their companions behind them, screaming continuously, but the people of Chang'an who were watching outside the West Gate laughed and paralyzed. But Long Er was in charge of those, jumped half a foot high, and shouted: "The overlord is on top!" The big knife slashed down in the air, so frightened that Dong Chong hurriedly closed his eyes, and as he expected, Ai Jiading hit the head of the companion in front of him when he did it, and the companion in front of him didn't scream anymore, turned his head and slapped the companion behind him a few times, and the Ai Jiading in the back was willing to let him go, and immediately fought back, Dong Chong's army had not yet opened, and his own people had already become a mess, and the onlookers were already rolling on the ground with laughter.
"Stop! Stop it all for Lao Tzu, and then deduct your salary. Ai Jin's face was a little unbearable, and he personally rushed up to punch and kick the family members, asking them to stop the infighting. And Dong Chong squatted to the side with his head in his arms, and he had already asked his friend Ai Jin's female relatives in his heart, which was too much to save face.
At this time, Dong Chong's other friend Ma Zhuang also came with more than 300 Ding guys, the equipment, similar to the Ai family, and there are many people with bird cages and eagles in their hands, the rare thing is that the age composition of this team is very reasonable, the average age is about thirty years old, the oldest is only sixty-one years old - is the father of the housekeeper of Mafu, and the youngest is only thirteen years old - is the brother of Ma Zhuang's thirteenth aunt, and he is dragging a green nose.
"Second Master Dong, brother is the talker." Ma Zhuang patted his chest and said to Dong Chong: "I have brought all the manpower that my family can mobilize, you can rest assured, they have all followed my family since their ancestors, and there is no need to say loyalty, if you want them to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, there is no problem." ”
Dong Chong almost didn't cry, he pulled Ma Zhuang with one hand and Ai Jin with the other, and said painfully: "Good brother, I, Dong Er, thank you." You better go back, the road is too dangerous, in case you have any three long and two short, I, Dong Er, have no shame to see your family, I can go to Qinchuan alone. ”
Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang agreed, they both held Dong Chong's hand tightly, shook it and said: "Second Master Dong, you don't have to worry about our family, our father heard that we were going to do big things, not only did he not object, but he also praised us a lot, and gave us a lot of money and food for spending on the road, Second Master Dong rest assured, we will definitely help you send the divine rice seeds to Qinchuan safely." Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang said it sincerely and very sincerely, but Dong Chong wanted to cry without tears, and said in his heart that you will help me, and thank God if you don't pull my hind legs.
Although Dong Chong repeatedly pushed back, Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang insisted on protecting him, and there were more and more people in Chang'an watching the jokes.
As the onlookers of Chang'an laughed more and more exaggerated, Dong Chong finally accepted his fate - he didn't want to lose face, gritted his teeth, crossed his heart, stomped his feet, let's go, if I meet a robber, I will run away, I don't believe that my eldest brother can really kill my own brother!
In this way, a powerful army composed of 2,000 old and weak soldiers, more than 1,000 wealthy businessmen and men (tour group?) In addition, more than 200 wagons carrying pots and pans, wine and meat ingredients, cooks and maids, gambling equipment and card tables, toilets and flower pots, etc., escorted ten carriages of divine rice seeds to the west. Along the way, playing in the mountains and rivers, fighting and brawling, molesting people's girls, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, all kinds of evil, everywhere they passed, chickens and dogs jumped, black smoke and miasma, and the magistrate did not dare to provoke Dong Boss's own brothers, they all turned a blind eye and let them come nonsense. At first, Dong Chong was still in charge of them, but later he saw that the road was safe and sound, and he was really tired of it-it should be his nature, so he simply went with them, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling in the luxurious carriages of Ai Jin, Ma Zhuang and others all day long, relying on the territory of the eldest brother, and even sent scouts to explore the road, as long as they did not delay the journey, they also went.
Not a day, this team arrived in the ancient capital of Xianyang, the troops were stationed outside the city, Dong Chong entered the city to exchange customs clearance talismans with the guard Wu Yi, and did not go to eat Wu Yi to entertain him with coarse tea and light rice, and directly dragged the gang of gentlemen to Xianyang's largest brothel to drink flower wine, finally Dong Chong was still a little sensible, and kicked the family guys brought by the gang of gentlemen to buy the daily necessities needed on the road, and handed over the task of guarding the gods outside the city to the soldiers who had followed him for many years, just in case.
But Dong Chong underestimated the effect of taking the lead and not taking the right path, those gentlemen brought a lot of money in their hands from the young master, and recently got along very well with Dong Chong's personal soldiers, and after buying things, he bought a lot of wine and meat, and went to the brothel to call some **, and went out of the city to the garrison to gamble and drink with Dong Chong's personal soldiers, listen to opera and singing, and eat a lot, as for defense-you go!
Before he knew it, it was already dark, and Dong Chong's personal soldiers were all gathered around the fire, or drinking, gambling, or listening to music, and there were people who were sleeping, but no one took care of the ten carriages loaded with divine rice seeds.
And in the distance of the corner where the fire does not shine, hundreds of black shadows suddenly stood up, led by a black shadow waved his hand, dozens of black shadows suddenly climbed down, almost close to the ground and quietly climbed up to the carriage loaded with divine rice, quietly pulled out the antlers, fences, horses and other things, slowly approached the carriage along the shadows, secretly climbed on the back of the car, moved down a few boxes of things, and found the carriage as it was, a box was carried by several people, and slowly withdrew from the barracks, the antlers, the fence, and the horse were installed in turn, and then the box was carried back into the distance.
The black shadow led by the fire folded to check the treasure chest that was brought back, and saw that the treasure chest was all made of metal, and the seal was filled with molten lead, and it could not be opened without an axe or a drill, so he knew that it was what he needed, so he nodded to the other black shadows, and the group carried the treasure chest and quietly disappeared into the dark, while Dong Chong's personal soldiers did not know, and only cared about drinking wine and eating meat, and enjoying life.
After the group of black-clothed men escaped quietly for several miles, they arrived outside a small valley, and the black-clothed men led by them wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, raised the fire and shook it a few times, and a cavalry of about three hundred people immediately rushed out of the valley, and when they got closer, the cavalry captain asked the leader of the black-clothed men in a low voice: "Have you got it?" Is there anyone following? Is there anyone who hasn't withdrawn? ”
The leader of the man in black patted the metal box, made a dull sound, and replied in a low voice: "I have five boxes, Wu Yi, the guard of the Dong thief in Xianyang, is probably still in the yamen to deal with the three rape cases of women in Xianyang today, no one can follow, and our brothers have all withdrawn." ”
The cavalry commander nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, I won't forget you, put the box of the god seed on the horse, let's go quickly." The leader of the men in black did as he said, put the treasure chest on his horse, mounted his horse and galloped into the valley, preparing to retreat along the road in the direction of Shenling, where there was a ferry to meet them.
But just when the gang of black-clothed people were about to evacuate the valley, a pile of rolling stones and trees suddenly fell from the valley, blocking the valley mouth tightly, and countless torches suddenly lit up on both sides of the valley, and Wu Yi, the general who was supposed to handle business in the city, stood in the firelight and laughed, "Haha...... dog thief, do you think you can escape the general's net?" ”
The cavalry captain led by Wen Ping was shocked, "It's a plan, retreat from the original way!" ”
The black-clothed man who stole the god seed immediately turned his horse's head and ran wildly towards the way he came, but Wu Yina gave them a chance, and with a wave of his hand, countless Dong Zhuojun archers fired thousands of arrows together, like flying locusts and torrential rain, although this cavalry was extremely brave, but the valley was narrow and there was nowhere to dodge the arrows, and in an instant, these black-clothed people were shot like hedgehogs, and the poor general Wen Ping was the head, and he was killed on the spot with dozens of arrows in his body! At the mouth of the valley on the other side, there were already countless Dong Zhuojun pulling bows and arrows, and any black-clothed man who was lucky enough to escape from the valley would inevitably fall into the honeycomb coal invented by Dong Boss......
When Dong Chong returned to the station exhausted from prostitution in a brothel with a group of gentlemen, the three souls almost scared the seven spirits - the thirty boxes of divine rice seeds that the eldest brother asked him to escort were missing five boxes for no reason! Dong Chong almost fainted in fright, grabbed the horsewhip and whipped his soldiers around, asking about the whereabouts of Shenmi, and his soldiers knew that they were running around one by one, shouting that they were wronged, and Ma Zhuang, Ai Jin and a group of rich children had already hid aside, for fear that their good brother Dong Chong would settle accounts with them.
After fighting for a long time, Dong Chong couldn't find the whereabouts of Shenmi, and was crying while hugging his head, Wu Yi came back with the lost five boxes of divine seeds.
"General Wu, good brother, you saved my life." Dong Chong hugged Wu Yi's thigh and cried bitterly, choked with tears and snot: "Woo......, if my eldest brother knew that I had lost the divine seed, he would have to rip off my skin, you saved my Dong Er's life." ”
Wu Yixin said that Taishi Dong was wise, how could there be a waste brother like you? With a wry smile, he helped Dong Chong up, "Second Master Dong, don't be so polite, this is what a young general should do." ”
Dong Chong wiped away his tears and snot on Wu Yi's trousers, stood up and held Wu Yi's hand tightly, "Brother, don't say anything, if you have anything to do with my eldest brother in the future, even if you speak, I will help you with my life." ”
Wu Yi sighed in his heart, "Second master, you don't have to repay me, my sister is alone in Chang'an, if you have time to take care of her, Wu Yi will be grateful." ”
Dong Chong snapped his fingers, "No problem, from today onwards, Sister Ling's business is my business!" Dong Chong added in his heart, I will definitely help your sister become my eldest brother's concubine, I believe that my eldest brother and you will be happy.
After the whole outfit, Dong Chong set off with the group again, this time Dong Chong didn't dare to be negligent, and rode on the horse to patrol back and forth, beware of losing the god seed again.
Wu Yi accompanied another person to watch Dong Chong and his party leave on the city tower, Wu Yi asked: "Although Jingzhou was wiped out last night, the people from Yizhou never showed up, so let Dong Erye go, can the master rest assured?" ”
The other person chuckled and replied: "Although Second Master Dong is confused, he has nothing to say about his loyalty to the Grand Master, and the little thief on the road doesn't want to steal a divine rice seed from him, and if he wants a divine rice seed, he can only dispatch a large team......
