Chapter Seventy-Seven: In front of Anlu City
In Anlu County, Jiangxia County, the biggest topic recently is naturally the competition between Shi Meng and Zheng Sheng.
However, with the recent spread of news, it is unknown whether the competition on the 17th can be carried out.
This news is naturally that Zheng Sheng was attacked in Jingzhou, but defeated the attacking yellow silk thief. Afterwards, Zheng Sheng also took people to Jiangling City, which made Shi Chong leave the state city in embarrassment.
Yesterday, the latest news came from Gangneung, saying that Lord Assassin Shi left Gangneung to capture the remnants of the Yellow Silk Thief, and it was the result of Zheng Shizi personally exposing it to him. Lord Thorn Shi was furious and sent his young son to destroy the Yellow Silk Thief!
Things have gone through twists and turns, and it seems that the best results have been obtained.
Then, on the morning of the 16th, Shi Meng arrived.
Shi Meng arrived at An Lu wearing a bloody uniform. It is said that after he exterminated the yellow silk thief, he did not return to Jiangling, nor did he rest, and rushed to Anlu day and night.
Then, Shi Meng came to visit, but the door of the Lu family was not open to him.
Shi Meng, who had eaten the closed door, left Anlu and camped outside the city. He ran out of the city because he was beaten.
was beaten by Lu Xian's son, Lu Chong, who was only a teenager......
Shi Meng is a noble son and brother in Jingzhou, who reverses poems with a few friends on weekdays, travels around the mountains and rivers, and talks about metaphysics, and is a proper young gentleman of the Western Jin Dynasty.
It can be said that Shi Meng felt very hurt in the past few days: first, he was forced by his father to take people to the lair of the yellow silk thief, which was already very hard, and then he was forced by him to ride a horse and gallop for hundreds of miles to this Anlu City. Without stopping, he went to the dilapidated family that had only served as a county magistrate and was now idle at home, but he was closed!
Then, just as he was about to get on his horse, he was ripped off by a small child and punched in his handsome face!
Shi Meng couldn't bear this breath, he decided to take revenge!
The day of the seventeenth came, but Zheng Sheng still didn't arrive.
Lu Yun's heart became more and more chaotic. Is it because he defeated the Yellow Silk Thief, Shi Chong's minions against his family were pulled out by him, and he no longer worries about Shi Chong's threat to him? Does this pact that is insignificant to him matter?
"Miss, Mr. Han is here again. He brought Zheng Shizi's latest news: Zheng Shizi was already on his way to Anlu. He also said that he might have arrived late, but he would not have missed the time. ”
Lu Yun was overjoyed in her heart, but then a little lost. Is Zheng Sheng so unconcerned about this matter? That Shi Meng, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, can be forced to come a day earlier by Shi Meng, but what about him? Is this man accustomed to being free and loose? I heard that the elders of the Zheng family would never restrain him. He always did things according to his own ideas.
For him, what is the weight of this matter about her?
"Little master, are you going out again?" Jasper Road outside.
"I'm going on a safari out of town." Lu Chong spoke, and left the house with his horse.
In the middle hall, Lu Xian and Han Jin discussed things.
The Lu family's life seems to be no different from yesterday.
It's the same for Lu Chong, he hasn't been messing around with the boys in the city lately. He thought those guys were stupid and bad.
Lu Chong went out of the city from the south gate as usual, along the official road, all the way south, to the nearby mountains and forests to look for prey. He hunted prey on the one hand to supplement his family, and on the other hand to improve his marksmanship.
Lu Chong's bow was handed down from his own family, and the wooden arrow was slowly polished by his own hands, although it was not as sharp as the iron arrow, he could still use it to shoot an arrow into the eyes of his prey dozens of steps away.
The eyes are a rare flaw in the prey, and they are also its key points.
No one taught, and Lu Chong understood this truth.
However, today he was not very lucky, and only two pheasants were hunted. It's probably only enough to entertain Uncle Han tonight.
"I don't know if that guy has arrived, if he does, I'll beat him up again, right? See if he's the same as Shi Meng, it's not okay. If so, I will never agree to my sister marrying him! Shi Meng muttered to himself. Put the prey on the horse's back, get on the horse, and slowly walk towards Anlu City.
When he arrived outside Anlu City, the sun was setting on the top of the West Mountain, and he returned on time.
Lu Chong just wanted to enter the city, when a group of uninvited guests on horseback suddenly blocked his way.
Lu Chong looked at these powerful guys, and was secretly vigilant: "Who are you?" Why are you holding me back from entering the city? ”
"Lu boy, you don't know them, you should know me!" On the side, Shi Meng, who came leisurely on a horse, said proudly.
"They're your people?" Lu Chong patted his mount gently, and the horse slowly retreated obediently.
"That's right!" Shi Meng laughed.
"You want to beat me? Revenge before that? Lu Chong asked.
"The boy is very smart."
"Don't you want to marry my sister? Beat me, aren't you afraid that she will be angry with you? ”
"Humph! My family and yours have no friendship. If my father hadn't forced me to come here, I wouldn't have come to this backwood! Tell you! As long as I defeat Zheng Sheng, I will immediately divorce your sister! Hahaha! ”
Lu Chong was furious and rushed towards him with a horse.
Shi Meng was shocked: "Stop him, stop him!" As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and fled backwards.
Shi Meng's subordinates were also the private soldiers of the Shi family, and when Lu Chong saw that these people were menacing, he shook a shot and rushed out diagonally through the gap in the crowd, not entering the city gate, and fled eastward.
He planned to make a detour through the East Gate to enter the city.
The people behind were in hot pursuit. Lu Chong's heart was crossed, he took a bow and arrows, and wanted to shoot them as prey! But at the moment when the arrow leaves the bow. He suddenly realized that he was not facing prey, but people. He and those behind him did not have a deep hatred, and it did not kill them.
Lu Chong's hand shook, and the arrow left the string. In this short moment, Lu Chong thought a lot, but the Shi private soldiers who were chasing only saw Lu Chong quickly twist his waist and hold his bow to shoot an arrow at them.
"Be careful!" The voice just rang out. There was a cry of pain, and a great man fell from his horse.
The pursuer's ferocious momentum suddenly plummeted.
Lu Chong turned around, and was about to urge the horse to move quickly, when a black shadow suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him. Lu Chong suddenly woke up: "It's not good! It's a trip! ”
But the horse had already crashed into it, and then the man and the horse rolled forward with him. Lu Chong rolled on the ground and finally stopped.
He crouched slightly, looking at the crowd that surrounded him.
The initiator, Shi Meng, reappeared.
"Boy, do you think I've only set up an ambush in the city? Hahaha, you underestimate me too much, I have arranged people for all the roads in Anlu City! Are you convinced now? ”
Lu Chong was silent and did not answer.
"Take his bow!" Shi Meng ordered.
"Yes." One of his subordinates immediately made a move, strode up with a meteor, and reached out to grab Lu Chong's wooden bow.
Lu Chong held the bow in front of his chest, and the big man reached out to pull it, but he couldn't pull it at all.
"Stinky boy! What are you doing in a daze, beating him! Shi Meng ordered angrily.
The big man immediately moved, and his fist landed on him. Lu Chong hugged the bow and fell to the ground, enduring motionless.
