The Grand Commander nodded, squatted down again, checked the ruts on the ground, thought for a moment, and said, "It's dark, and it's not easy for the carriage to walk at night, so it's very likely that they will rest in the stronghold in front, and we'll chase it immediately." ”
Song Zheng faintly felt that something was wrong, two thousand taels of silver, if it was divided by six people, each person would only be more than three hundred taels. Michigan Dark Eagle has no shortage of horses, so why go to the trouble of driving a carriage? Either it's more than three thousand taels of silver, or it's a trap!
Although Song Zheng had doubts about this, he didn't speak, if the Grand Commander couldn't even see this, then this Grand Commander didn't have to be it.
The crowd began to gallop along the main road to the south. After another half an hour, the people went sixteen or seventeen miles. Walking through a dense forest, I saw a light ahead. It was a small village, more than a mile east of the main road. And against the road, there is a courtyard, the courtyard protrudes from the outside of the village, which is particularly conspicuous, and outside the courtyard is a tea shed. However, at this time, the courtyard was pitch black, and it was impossible to see anything.
At a place more than a hundred zhang away from the courtyard, the people of the Imperial City Division stopped. The commander gave an order, and Hu Qiang took his two brothers and went straight to the courtyard, while the rest of the people scattered and surrounded them in a semicircle.
As a novice, the Grand Commander arranged Song Zheng by his side. Song Zheng leaned forward and squeezed Yuan'er, who was close to the Grand Commander, aside. Yuan'er's anger did not subside, and Song Zheng still saw her eyes wide open in the night, glaring at Song Zheng fiercely. Song Zheng didn't pay attention to her, he leaned on the big commander with his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Sister, you are clever, you actually know that the people of the dark eagle are hiding in the small courtyard." ”
"Less sycophants!" The Grand Commander ducked to the side and gave him another blank look, "This place is a foothold for the Dark Eagle, since last year, the people of the Dark Eagle have been running to the south very diligently, and for the convenience of transit, they have coiled this courtyard down. When they went out of the city in the evening, they must have rushed to this place to rest. ”
Song Zheng nodded, whether it was true or not, it was always right to send someone over to explore the way first.
When there were still fifty feet from the courtyard, the people surrounding the outside stopped, waiting for the movement inside. After a few moments, a figure appeared on the wall and quickly ran towards the Grand Commander. The two pretty maids took a few steps forward, and after the stranger intercepted them, they found that it was Hu Qiang, so they stepped aside.
Hu Qiang clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Great Commander, there is no one in the courtyard, not even horses." There was only one carriage with a large wooden box on it, as if it were the one I had seen out of town. The two brothers are still searching inside, and I have come to ask the Grand Commander what to do? ”
The Grand Commander nodded and asked, "Can you open that box and check it out?" ”
Hu Qiang hurriedly said: "Without the order of the commander, where do I dare to move!" It's our rule to just look and not move. ”
The Grand Commander pondered for a moment and said, "You go back, open the gate, and pull the car out with the two brothers, and don't open the box." ”
Hu Qiang clenched his fists and turned back. At this time, the gate of the courtyard had been opened from the inside. After Hu Qiang entered, after a while, two people pulled the wheel, and one person pushed it behind, and then pulled the carriage out. The three of them were struggling, and it seemed that the box was quite heavy. This made Song Zheng even more suspicious.
At this time, several people from the Imperial City Division stepped forward to help. The Grand Commander shouted urgently, "Everyone stay!" The crowd hurriedly stopped their steps and looked at the Grand Commander with some strange looks. The Grand Commander shouted again, and the crowd stopped.
The Grand Commander said, "Hu Qiang, pry open the wooden box and see what's inside?" Don't raise fire! Hu Qiang replied, and together with the two secret guards, he inserted the steel knife into the gap on the side of the lid of the box, and the three of them worked together to open the lid of the box. Hu Qiang took a look in the night light and saw that there was unkempt wheat straw inside. When I opened the wheat straw, I saw silver ingots neatly stacked in the box. Hu Qiangqiang was overjoyed, took out another ingot, and shouted: "A layer of wheat straw, there is a lot of silver underneath!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They all stood up and walked towards the carriage. Song Zheng was even more puzzled. He saw that the Grand Commander also seemed to be relieved, and was about to walk forward, and hurriedly grabbed her hand. Unexpectedly, the Great Commander's color suddenly changed, and he threw him away at once, and when he turned around, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. She stepped forward the dagger and put it on Song Zheng's neck, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't move your hands and feet, my sister is really afraid of scratching you all at once." ”
Song Zheng noticed that although the Grand Commander's face was smiling, there was a cold light shining in his eyes. Grandma's, it turned out to be the type of "coquettish language and pure body", well, this type is very challenging.
Seeing Song Zheng's gaze wandering, the commander lifted it upside down and smashed Song Zheng's shoulder with the handle of the dagger. The strength is actually not light, Song Zheng smiled bitterly and said badly, "Sister, I suggest that you should be more careful, it is better to let Brother Hu take the silver out of the box." Such a big box, who knows ...... below"
Before Song Zheng could finish speaking, a fire suddenly lit up in the small courtyard, and then three figures with bows and arrows appeared. One was at the gate, and two were on the wall. Three flaming arrows shot quickly towards the carriage, and Hu Qiang and the two Imperial City Secretaries hurriedly hid behind the carriage to dodge the sharp arrows. The three sharp arrows clattered three times, one hit the cart, one hit the side of the large wooden box, and the other hit the ground. I don't know what was painted on the rocket, but it burst into flames, and the wooden box and carriage were set on fire.
Song Zheng, who had long been wary of this, reacted the fastest, and hurriedly shouted, "Get down!" The Grand Commander also reacted and shouted "Lie on the ground"!
Everyone was stunned, and three more rockets appeared in the air. Many of the secret guards hurriedly crawled to the ground, and only a few were still there, ignorant and a little at a loss. Hu Qiang, who was close to the carriage, also reacted very quickly, and almost as soon as the fire appeared, he fell to his side, and then rolled on the ground.
Due to the first round of rockets, it was very bright around the carriage. The second round of arrows was extremely accurate, one on the wooden box, and the other two into the wooden box, igniting the wheat straw. Song Zheng shouted that it was not good, and when he saw the Great Commander Wu standing there shouting, he threw himself forward and pressed him to the ground at once.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a shocking sound of "bang", and the big wooden box and carriage immediately fell apart, and the lumps scattered like flowers scattered by the goddess. A few of the slow ones were immediately hit in the body, breaking their bones instantly. One of them was directly shattered in the skull, shook twice, and fell to the ground. A few of them were close, and blood flowed from their shocked ears.
Song Zheng shook his head and was about to stand up, but was suddenly knocked to the ground by the person under him. The Grand Commander got up, glared at Song Zheng fiercely, and was busy checking on everyone's injuries.
Song Zheng lay on the ground, grabbed a silver ingot that flew in front of him from his side, checked it, and carefully put it in front of him to take a look, only to be sure that it was really silver, and it was five taels and one ingot! This guy hurriedly held the silver in his arms, and couldn't help but secretly think, the Mizhou Dark Eagle was really willing to pay the capital, a box of explosives, mixed with stones, and a whole layer of silver was actually laid on it as bait. As soon as the people of the Imperial City Division approached, they fired rockets at the box, detonating explosives and blowing people to pieces.
What a poisonous strategy!
Song Zheng sat up and looked around. The trunks and wagons had been blown up, and pieces of wood were broken everywhere, many still burning, illuminating the place quite brightly.
This is thanks to the fact that in the darkness of the night, the opponent did not hit the box in the first round. By the time of the second round, many people had already reacted, so the losses of the people of the Imperial City Division were not heavy. The two guards who were with Hu Qiang reacted a little slower, and they rolled away in time, but they were not lightly injured. Hu Qiang is disgraced, but there is nothing wrong. Only one of the silver ingots hit in the head died, and the rest, except for the two shoulders that were hit, the rest were only severe tinnitus, which was difficult to recover for a while.
Song Zheng was the farthest away, but there was nothing wrong. He was about to stand up when he heard what seemed to be a chaotic clatter from the south. Song Zheng put his ear to the ground, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack!" Come on. (Asking for flowers)
