Chapter 13: The Trial of the State Thief (Part II)

Kang Peng looked at it, overnight, Huangjiazhuang has been full of fully armed Jingzhou soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms, three steps and one post, five one sentry, villagers in and out of the village have special personnel to check again and again, from time to time there are groups of Jingzhou soldiers patrolling in the village, the entire Huangjiazhuang has almost become a military camp, the Jingzhou military camp that has been overshadowed by Dong Zhuojun countless times!

Kang Peng's face turned pale, and his mind was blank, at this time, Huang Chengyan didn't know where it came from, Huang Chengyan still smiled so kindly, so kindly, "Mr. Kang, why is your face so ugly?" Did you get a cold last night? But take care of yourself. ”

Kang Peng forced a smile and said, "Thank you Mr. for your concern, it's nothing here." Kang Peng pointed to the soldiers and asked, "Dare to ask sir, what are these soldiers doing here, making people so scared, is there any war?" ”

Huang Chengyan glanced at Kang Peng meaningfully, and replied: "Mr. Kang don't worry, the old man has already told Mr. Kang that tomorrow is the cheap day of the old man, and some relatives and friends were invited to the banquet. ”

Kang Peng was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Even Jingzhou Liu Tingshi has arrived, so the 'Jiangxia Eight Horses' should all have arrived, right?" "At least two of the eight horses in Jiangxia have seen Kang Peng, and once they meet, Kang Peng's true face will be exposed immediately.

"Not to mention Jiangxia Eight Horses." Huang Chengyan replied lightly: "Even the great Confucian of the imperial court and Cai Yong have to arrive, the old man's house is really full of splendor, for the safety of the two adults, the old man asked Lord Assassin Shi to bring five thousand soldiers to come, just in case." ”

Kang Peng's body was shaky, almost fainted, Cai Yong and Fu Wan were his fathers-in-law, but they actually hated him to the core, and colluded with outsiders several times to take his life, although Kang Peng spared them several times for the sake of their daughter, but Kang Peng knew very well in his heart that if he fell into their hands, then they would not think of any love for their son-in-law.

At this time, a Jingzhou military colonel rushed to Huang Chengyan, hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Huang, the fleet of Lord Assassin Shi and all of you has arrived at the Zhuangwai Wharf, may I ask Mr. Huang if he is going to greet him?" ”

"Of course I'm going, I haven't seen Zirou and Xenoshi for many years, so I really miss it." Huang Chengyan laughed, turned to Kang Peng and said, "Mr. Kang, please take a seat first, wait for the old man to greet the guests first, and then introduce you to Mr. Kang when you come back." After that, Huang Chengyan didn't care whether Kang Peng agreed or not, and ordered the little colonel: "You transfer people here, strictly protect this mansion, and no one is allowed to leave, so as to prevent assassins from taking the opportunity to sneak into my house and ambush me." ”

The little colonel bowed to Huang Chengyan and agreed, turned around and beckoned two or three hundred soldiers, and surrounded Huang Chengyan's house with knives and guns.

Kang Peng woke up after a long time, turned his head and ran wildly into the room, rushing back to the room where he was entangled with Wen Lu last night, the panting Kang Peng was about to beckon Wen Lu to run away, but Wen Lu panicked first: "Taishi, our daughter was picked up by Mrs. Huang last night, just now I went to the old lady's room to pick up my daughter, but the old lady and Zhen'er didn't know where to go." ”

Kang Peng was taken aback, and then understood everything, it was obvious that Huang Chengyan had already recognized his identity, and the meticulous hospitality he had been taking care of in the past few days was just to stabilize himself, and then he found Jingzhou Shilin, just to let Shilin, who had a deep hatred with Dong Zhuojun, see himself killed and even cut by a thousand knives, and avenge the countless scholars who died under Dong Zhuojun! As for taking Wen Zhen away, he was worried that he would escape overnight and take Wen Zhen as a hostage.

"Ma'am, things are not good." Kang Peng said his analysis again, and Wen Lu's swarthy face, which was smeared with potion again, suddenly became whiter than snow, and he lost his voice: "Impossible!" The old lady treats me like a daughter, and Sister Yueying treats me as a sister, they will not be so vicious as to use my daughter as a hostage! ”

Kang Peng was in a hurry, and was about to persuade Wen Lu again, when Huang Yueying's voice sounded outside the door, "Sister Wen, what the master said is true, my mother and I were both used by our father. Kang Peng quickly opened the door, and a delicate girl appeared in front of Kang Peng's eyes, her eyebrows were picturesque, delicate as jade, although she did not have Diao Chan's peerless face that captivated the city and the country, and she did not have the vigorous heroism in the beauty of Wen Lu, but her bright eyes like autumn water made up for everything.

Although her life was in danger, she could see the beautiful woman in front of her, the lascivious bad student still opened her mouth wide, and the girl couldn't help frowning when she saw Kang Peng's appearance, her little hand was raised, and she pushed Kang Peng into the room, and closed the door with her backhand, and said to Kang Peng angrily: "When is it, do you still want to be bad at me?" ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Kang Peng's jaw almost fell to the ground, pointing at the stunning girl and stammering: "You, are you Huang Yueying?" Before Kang Peng finished speaking, Wen Lu had already kicked him in the back, kicked Kang Peng aside, and said to Huang Yueying, who had recovered her original appearance: "Sister, you said that you and your aunt were both used by your uncle, what is going on?" ”

Huang Yueying frowned, pointed at Kang Peng and said: "This is a long story, it's all because of this old guy, at the beginning, he exploited and bullied everyone in Shilin at every turn, and even killed and looted, raising the status of mud legs and businessmen, my father hated him to the core, this time he fled to my house, I think he is Zhen'er's biological father, I am worried that my father will not be good for him, so I have been hiding it for him." "Kang Peng added in his heart, I'm afraid you are mainly looking at the modern technology I have mastered.

Huang Yueying continued: "Early this morning, my mother suddenly asked me to wash off my makeup and go to the dock to meet my uncle and aunt, as well as my two uncles, I knew that it was bad, and then I came to the dock, as I expected, my father really asked my mother to take Zhen'er with her, Zhen'er has no relatives with my family, what did I take my uncle and aunt to take her for?" According to my estimates, my father has long recognized the identity of Taishi, but he has been holding back, and then in the name of longevity, he summoned the scholars of the whole Jingzhou Rulin, the purpose is to execute Dong Taishi in front of the Shilin of the whole Jingzhou, to avenge the students of the world, and to blame others for killing Dong Taishi, so as not to be retaliated by the Xiliang army. ”

After Huang Yueying finished speaking, Kang Peng's face was already pale, kidnapping hostages has always been Dong Zhuojun's forte, but he didn't expect that today he would actually repay his daughter. Wen Lu's face was pale, her body was shaky, and she lost her voice: "Then, then my daughter won't be hurt by them, right?" ”

"Those scholars Rulin shouldn't hurt Zhen'er." Huang Yueying shook her head and said calmly: "But my two uncles, Cai Zhong and Cai He, are difficult to say. Although he is Huang Yueying's own uncle, Huang Yueying also gritted his teeth when he mentioned Cai Zhong and Cai He, "My two uncles are greedy for money, lustful, despicable and vicious, even if they are my nieces, they often have bad ideas, not to mention the baby who is still in her arms." ”

Wen Lu's plump chest fell together, and suddenly grabbed the sword at the head of the bed and rushed out, Huang Yueying hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, you can't go, my uncle brought eight thousand soldiers, and the generals of Jingzhou, Lu Gong and Wang Wei, also came, you go just to die." Huang Yueying said to Kang Peng urgently: "Taishi, stop my sister quickly, I will find a way to do Zhen'er's matter." Kang Peng woke up from his dream as before, and hurriedly hugged Wen Lu.

"Let go of me, I'm going to save Zhen'er." Wen Lu struggled in Kang Peng's arms, and Kang Peng gently persuaded: "Madam, don't worry, Miss Huang is extremely smart, she must have a way to save our daughter." Having said that, the anxiety in Kang Peng's heart is actually far above Wen Lu, but he has experienced so many ups and downs and knows that he can't panic at this critical juncture, otherwise he can only kill himself.

Huang Yueying thought very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she had an idea, and said in a low voice: "Sister Wen, I once took you to visit the Eight Formations behind my village, do you remember the location of the stone formation?" ”

Wen Lu nodded, indicating that he still remembered, but Kang Peng was shocked and blurted out: "Eight Array Diagram!" It's the eight-formation diagram that can't get out if you don't know how to enter the formation? ”

Huang Yueying was also a little surprised, and said suspiciously: "I know that your meticulous work is all over the world, but I have invented the Eight Array Diagram for less than two months, and no one has entered it except Sister Wen and me, how do you know?" ”

Kang Peng touched his garlic nose and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about these first, I'll tell you when I have the opportunity in the future, you still say your idea first, do you want to let Benxiang and Wen Lu hide in the Eight Array Diagram first?" What about Jen'er? ”

Huang Yueying glanced at Kang Peng in confusion, and still couldn't understand why Kang Peng could know about the Eight Array Diagram she invented, but she still continued: "Taishi, you let that old liar leave Huangjiazhuang that day, so that he went to Yong'an to inform your army to pick you up, right?" Seeing Kang Peng nodded, Huang Yueying smiled and said: "This is hopeful, according to the footsteps, the old liar should be able to reach Yong'an in this two days, your Xiliang Iron Cavalry is out of the nest, it should not be difficult to break through Huang Zu's defense line, change horses all the way without changing people, you can arrive at Huangjiazhuang within three days, you and Sister Wenlu bring some dry food and drinking water and escape into the Eight Arrays to hide first, I will go to the dock again, look for an opportunity to rescue Zhen'er, and also meet you in the Eight Arrays, the Eight Arrays can automatically change the climate at any time, endlessly, It's definitely okay to hide for three or four days. ”

"Sister, can you rescue Zhen'er? Are you in danger?" Wen Lu worried.

"No problem, with my parents here, they don't dare to hurt me, as long as I try to hold Zhen'er, there is a way to escape." Huang Yueying comforted Wen Lu and urged: "You guys hurry up and pack up, it's too late." ”

Wen Lu didn't say anything more, tearfully packed up some dry food and water, Huang Yueying was about to try to rescue Wen Zhen, but Kang Peng stopped her, "Miss Yueying, Benxiang has never been kind to you, your father is still an enemy who doesn't share the same nature, why do you still help Benxiang so much?" ”

Huang Yueying looked back and smiled, a flash of light flashed in her black jewel-like pupils, and she chuckled: "I help you for three reasons, first, my father is too naΓ―ve, thinking that if he puts the responsibility of killing you on other people, your subordinates will not seek revenge from Huangjiazhuang, I was born here and grew up here, of course I don't want to see Huangjiazhuang turn into a scorched earth; Second, my uncle is weak and incompetent, he can only recite poems, dance and write, and reuse traitors like my uncle, Jingzhou will fall into your hands sooner or later, and since my family is married to Liu Biao, it will inevitably be connected, I save you now, and you will definitely not take revenge in the future, and my family can also be saved. Third, I haven't finished learning your technique, and I can't let you die. ”

Kang Peng was moved in his heart, stepped forward and held Huang Yueying's little hand, and said sincerely: "Miss Yueying, if you can save Benxiang's beloved daughter, Benxiang will definitely teach you everything he has learned in his life." ”

Kang Peng rarely said a few sincere words, but Huang Yueying didn't appreciate it, gently pulled out her little hand from Kang Peng's big hand, and said with a smile: "No wonder others scolded you for being lustful, when I was ugly in the past, you didn't even want to look at me more, now wash off your makeup, you will come to shake my hand immediately, I am not like Sister Wen, you will be easy to get my hands." Kang Peng's kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he was angry for a while, and Huang Yueying went out with a chuckle.

Kang Peng and Wen Lu quickly packed up the food and water, Kang Peng's ghost head knife was thrown in Mai Cheng, and he didn't have the right weapon, so he picked up the bronze candlestick on the table and went straight to the back door with Wen Lu. The back door has been guarded by a team of Jingzhou soldiers, Wen Lu put these miscellaneous soldiers in his eyes, and was about to break in, but Kang Peng grabbed her and said a few words in her ear, Wen Lu nodded to show that he understood, and Kang Peng hid behind the door, Kang Peng took out a few firecrackers and threw them on the stove in the backyard, but Kang Peng's martial arts were really bad, and he lost three in a row, and he didn't throw them into the stove, Wen Lu grabbed it and threw it over, and all the firecrackers were thrown into the burning stove.

"Crackle! Crackling! Crackling! "Huang Yueying made those firecrackers made of black powder made by Kang Peng, although because the purity of the material is not enough to be far less powerful than the real black powder, but the sound of the explosion is far better than ordinary firecrackers, the Jingzhou army outside the house did not dare to slack off, and rushed in to check, Kang Peng and Wen Lu took the opportunity to sneak out of the door.

Out of the Huang family compound, there are still a lot of soldiers coming and going in Zhuangzhong, fortunately, Wen Lu is quite familiar with the road in Zhuangzhong, and takes Kang Peng to turn left and right, and slowly goes around to the back of Zhuang, seeing that he can get out of the village safely, but the clumsy Kang Peng unintentionally knocked down a wooden barrel, which suddenly alarmed a group of soldiers, "What person?" The soldiers immediately rushed over.

"Stupid." Wen Lu scolded Kang Peng, drew his sword to meet it, the soldiers saw that Wen Lu was a delicate girl, and they didn't pay much attention to it at first, shouting to capture Wen Lu alive, and several of them were even more lustful in the front, who knew that as soon as he ran in front of him, Wen Lu flew and kicked away the wooden-handled iron head gun of the soldier in front, and the spear swung back, hitting the head of a soldier in the back, and suddenly beat the soldier behind him to the face, Wen Lu took the kung fu of the soldier in front, the sword was swinged, and the soldier's head rolled to the ground.

"This is tricky, call people." The Jingzhou soldiers behind saw that Wen Lu was powerful, and hurriedly shouted and shouted to greet his companions, and after a while, dozens of soldiers rushed over, each holding a blade to surround Kang Peng and Wen Lu, Wen Lu is nothing, she still doesn't put these people in her eyes, Kang Peng is miserable, Dong Boss's martial arts he didn't inherit at all, he can only wave the bronze candlestick indiscriminately and fight, fortunately, Dong Boss's natural power Kang Peng is still inherited, as soon as the fight continues, the Jingzhou soldiers will have broken tendons and fractures next to each other, but the Jingzhou soldiers are so scared that they dare not approach, but after a long time, Jingzhou soldiers saw that Kang Peng did not know martial arts, each made the blade into a joint attack, several spears stabbed at the same time, Kang Peng immediately hung the color, and then a few iron knives towards Kang Peng's arm, Kang Peng could only throw away the candlestick to dodge, those Jingzhou soldiers saw that Kang Peng had no weapons, and immediately overjoyed, knives and guns rushed together, Kang Peng was helpless, there was a sudden sound behind his head, an iron gun swept over, and the knives and guns of Jingzhou soldiers immediately flew into the air.

Kang Peng looked back and saw that Wen Lu had already grabbed a war horse of the Jingzhou cavalry, Wen Lu shouted: "Stupid, get on the horse!" Relying on his wife to save his life, Kang Peng couldn't help but have a fever on his face, since he came to this era, he also thought about learning martial arts to defend himself, but Dong Zhuo's army has never lacked brave and good fighting soldiers, only lack of internal affairs talents, Kang Peng had to go on top himself, and the matter of learning martial arts had to be put aside.

"Don't get on the horse." Soon after Wen Lu gave birth to her daughter, her body was far from recovering to her best condition, and she was panting after a few battles, and she didn't dare to entangle with the Jingzhou soldiers anymore.

Less than two or three miles out of the village, Kang Peng and Wen Lu shouted behind them, and many people were shouting, "Catch Dong Zhuo, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis!" "Catch it alive, don't let Dong Zhuo run away!" "The one who is as fat as a pig is Dong Zhuo......" and the sound of the horse's hooves of the cavalry, not to mention thousands.

"Oops, they recognize their true colors." Kang Peng shouted in a hurry, and Wen Lu comforted: "Don't worry, the Eight Array Diagram is in the valley of five miles ahead, and it will be safe there." "That being said, what Wen Lu grabbed was just an ordinary war horse, which was comparable to the black horse Shenjun that Kang Peng rode before, carrying Wen Lu who was more than 100 catties and Kang Peng, who was more than 200 catties, ran very hard, and ran out for more than half a mile, and the back was already dusty, and you could see the appearance of the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army when you turned around.

"Drive!" Wen Lu urged the war horse, but the war horse really couldn't run fast, at this time, the Jingzhou soldiers behind had already begun to release arrows, Wen Lu suddenly heard Kang Peng's scream like killing a pig, and was so frightened that he asked, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Are you okay? ”

Kang Peng was hit by an arrow in the back, and he didn't know how deep it was shot, Kang Peng couldn't help but say bitterly: "It's okay, let's go quickly." Wen Lu heard Kang Peng's voice with pain, and ruthlessly went back and forth to the sword ** horse buttocks, the war horse neighed miserably, and the speed suddenly increased a lot, but after this run, even if the war horse can still live, it can only be left with the fate of becoming a rookie horse in the future.

The war horse galloped wildly for a while, the speed slowed down again, Wen Lu returned to the sword, and so on repeatedly, only barely rushed into the valley before the chasing army was encircled, just entered the valley, Kang Peng saw seventy or eighty piles of rocks standing in front of him, and the stream next to the valley rushed into the Xiangjiang River, the sound of water shook the sky, and the mist and smoke covered the piles of rocks half-hidden and half-visible, Kang Peng's heart was shocked, and he said: "This is the eight arrays that have been famous for thousands of years."

At this time, the war horse ridden by Kang Peng and Wen Lu finally couldn't support it, and there was a weak neigh, Kang Peng and Wen Lu fell to the ground at the same time, and the chasing soldiers behind them screamed and rushed to speed up, Kang Peng and Wen Lu didn't care about checking whether they were injured, and they supported each other and ran towards the Eight Formations, and the pursuers behind were also clamoring to approach quickly.

When he was only ten steps away from the eight formations, Kang Peng suddenly heard a sound behind his head, hurriedly dodged to the side, snapped, and a gun tail smashed on Kang Peng's shoulder, and the bones were broken, making Kang Peng scream in pain, it turned out that the Jingzhou soldiers were ordered to capture Kang Peng alive, and just now they wanted to knock Kang Peng unconscious.

"Hugh hurts my father-in-law." Wen Lu was in a hurry, and twice in a row called out the name that he usually wanted to call but was embarrassed to call Kang Peng because of shyness, drew his sword and slashed at the tail of another gun that smashed Kang Peng's fat head, and shouted to Kang Peng: "You go in first." Although Kang Peng was incompetent, he was embarrassed to let his wife run for his life, he was in a hurry, his fat arms were wide open, and he hugged the neck of the war horse closest to him, and the cavalry did not dare to hurt him with a knife, just beat him with the back of the knife, Kang Peng held back the pain, broke the gong and roared loudly, like thunder, the fat arm thicker than the thighs of ordinary people burst out of divine power, and actually broke the war horse with the people and horses, and smashed the war horses in front of Wen Lu, and suddenly smashed the war horses to the back of the horses, Kang Peng took the opportunity to pick up Wen Lu, who had also hung flowers, Before the other pursuers could react, they strode into the Eight Formations.

As soon as Kang Peng's two fat legs stepped into the Eight Formations, he found that he had no sense of direction, only felt that the front and back were all looming stone piles, and he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and northwest, and even the sky was covered by fog, and he couldn't see the sun, moon and stars, and then took a few steps forward, only felt that the stone pile seemed to be crashing into his face, Kang Peng was startled, and hurriedly dodged to the side, not wanting to really hit a pile of stones, and was pierced by sharp stones It didn't hurt, and then looked at it, but those stone piles completely changed their position, and they couldn't find a way out, nor could they find a way out.

"Xianggong, don't walk around, we're safe." Wen Lu leaned on Kang Peng's arms and whispered: "This stone formation is divided into eight gates: rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening, and it changes repeatedly, except for Sister Yueying, no matter who comes in, they can't get out." ”

Kang Peng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put down Wen Lu, but Wen Lu said coquettishly: "Don't, I want you to hold me like this." Wen Lu was coquettish to himself for the first time, Kang Peng scolded Wen Lu for being lazy, but he was extremely happy in his heart, and sat down on the spot with Wen Lu in his arms, resting with each other. Rao is like this, Kang Peng sat on the ground and felt that the entire Eight Arrays seemed to be rotating, and the stone piles were spinning endlessly, seeing Kang Peng was dizzy and wanted to vomit, only by closing his eyes could he be slightly more comfortable.

Quietly listening to the Jingzhou soldiers in the follow-up formation screaming for help, running and stumbling, Kang Peng admired Huang Yueying's genius, at this time, Wen Lu closed his eyes in his arms and said coquettishly: "Xianggong, do you say that Yueying can save our Zhen'er?" ”

Kang Peng actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, and comforted Wen Lu and said: "Don't worry, Miss Yueying is talented and intelligent, she will definitely be able to rescue our daughter safely." ”

"Hmm." Wen Lu hummed lightly and agreed, her delicate body moved lightly, trying her best to sleep comfortably in Kang Peng's arms, and said in a coquettish voice: "Sister Yueying likes to make machinery, and she hates others interfering with her the most, so she deliberately made herself extremely ugly, just because she was afraid that people would propose to her, so she ......." ”

"Don't worry." Kang Peng heard what Wen Lu meant, patted her tender face and said, "She has a life-saving grace for you and me, and she won't beat her crooked ideas." ”

"That's not what it means." Wen Lu's tender face pressed against Kang Peng's chest and said: "On the contrary, I want you to bring her to Chang'an in the future, who else in the world can be worthy of her except your intelligence?" Besides, with her by my side, we can take care of each other. ”

Wen Lu blushed and said something that Kang Peng's other favorite concubine, Cai Wenji, would never say, but Kang Peng didn't react for a long time, Wen Lu was strange, opened his eyes, and saw that Kang Peng was so tired that he fell asleep, Wen Lu felt distressed for a while, stroked Kang Peng's furry ugly face, and after a while, Wen Lu also fell asleep in Kang Peng's arms.

Kang Peng and Wen Lu were woken up by Huang Chengyan's voice, "Master Dong, wake up, there are many old friends waiting for you." Kang Peng and Wen Lu opened their eyes in a daze, and saw Huang Chengyan standing in front of him, and beside Huang Chengyan, there were countless heavily armed Jingzhou soldiers, and countless knives and guns had also been set on Kang Peng and Wen Lu.

"Oops!" Kang Peng said in his heart: "How did I forget that Huang Chengyan also knows the Eight Array Diagram?" ”
