Chapter 642: Kindness of Adults
Behind Shi Yan, there is a masked man in gray clothes, and the upper half of his body sticks out of the latest chapter of my superman boyfriend in stone face. The bow was like a full moon, and the arrows shot like lightning, shooting towards Song Zheng. The sound of bowstrings and sharp arrows breaking through the air sounded almost simultaneously, and sharp arrows blinked.
In a hurry, Song Zheng didn't have time to resist, so he only twisted his waist sharply, turned his body sideways, and the sharp arrow passed through his chest, opening a hole in his clothes. The arrow went off with a thud and struck the stone by the side of the road, and only after chiseling off a piece of stone did it bounce to the ground. The strength is truly amazing.
Just after dodging an arrow, the man in gray quickly pulled out an arrow from behind his back, and shot the arrow out like a spring, this time straight to Song Zheng's waist and abdomen. Song Zheng reacted so quickly, he immediately shouted violently, crawled on the horse's back, and the arrow grazed his back and fell into the air.
The man in gray was still dry, and the third feather arrow was in his hand. However, before he could shoot the arrow, he saw two sharp arrows thunder. One flew to his right hand, and the other went straight to his throat.
As a last resort, he took a step to the side, and was about to draw his bow again, but the arrows on the opposite side shot like beads, and four or five sharp arrows were like scattered flowers of the heavenly maiden, instantly enveloping the left and right areas where he was.
The man in gray could no longer shoot the arrow, and with a wave of the iron bow in his hand, he knocked one of the arrows in his chest away, and then flipped behind the stone like an upside-down onion, and disappeared.
Song Zheng's side, Zu Jie's face was like frost, standing on the horse with a bow and sitting on the horse. Song Zheng could see it clearly, just now, when the gray-clothed man shot the first arrow, Zu Jie bent down to get the bow and arrow hanging on the belly of the horse on one side. When the second arrow came, Zu Jie had already put two arrows on his bow. Immediately afterwards, there was a dazzling flying shot, and its speed was so fast that Song Zheng had only seen it in his life. It seems that after two years of sharpening in the military camp, Zu Jie's archery skills have reached a new level.
"Brother Zheng, are you okay?" Zu Jie urged the horse to block Song Zheng's side, and the other sergeants came over together and surrounded Song Zheng.
"No problem!" Song Zheng tugged at his placket, turned over and dismounted.
"Team A protects the adults, Team B searches for the enemy!"
The sergeants suddenly complied, and immediately divided ten men and touched the rock in front of them. Zu Jie stared in the direction of the rock, and his iron bow with two long arrows stood on his chest.
"Ahh A scream came, and it was Su Cicada who made the sound. She reacted at this point, and immediately fell into her body, almost sliding off the horse's back. Xiao Yun, who was also discolored, hurriedly jumped down and supported Su Chan with her hand.
Song Zheng glanced at her, then turned around and bent down to pick up an enemy arrow that had missed. There are no markings on the body of the arrow, the size is slightly shorter than the ordinary military arrows, but the cluster of arrows is half a point longer, and the arrow still flashes with a blue faint light, which is clearly a poisonous arrow.
After weighing it in his hand, Song Zheng took out the fish intestine sword, swung it hard, and hit the arrow. With a bang, a tiny mark popped out of the arrow.
Putting the arrow back in front of him, Song Zheng looked at it.
After tea, Team B arrived at the rock, and after some searching, one of the chiefs reported loudly, "There is no one after that." The assassin should have escaped into the mountains and forests, did he pursue it? ”
"No, call the brothers down. The man should have fled. Song Zheng said, handing over the poisoned arrow to Zu Jie.
Zu Jie gestured upward, turned his head to look at the poisoned arrow, and couldn't help but gasp. If it weren't for Song Zheng's quick reaction, I am afraid that he would have been killed on the spot.
"Brother Zheng, I ......" Zu Jie looked ashamed.
"It's not your fault, it's because I was in a trance for a while, so I almost fell into the way." Song Zheng waved his hand, "Gather the sergeant, and we'll go back to the city immediately." ”
"Why don't I take someone to chase it down?" Zu Jie was unwilling, on his own territory, someone wanted to assassinate Song Zheng, which made Zu Jie very annoyed.
"The mountains are densely forested, and it is difficult to track. There aren't many of us, so don't fall into each other's ambush. ”
Zu Jie also understands that maintaining Song Zheng's safety is the right thing at the moment, and tracking down the murderer is secondary. He nodded, and loudly ordered all the sergeants to line up and return to the city immediately.
"Are you alright?" Song Zheng took a few steps forward and looked at the pale Su Chan. His hand stretched out and then retracted
Su Chan stroked his chest with one hand and leaned against Yun'er's side, "I'm fine." Childe, you ...... You're not hurt? ”
Song Zheng's placket had been opened, revealing a strong chest. He covered his chest, "I'll help you get on the horse, you can't stay here for long." As he spoke, he bowed down, crossed his hands, and motioned for Su Chan to step on his hands and mount the horse.
Su Chan hesitated for a moment, but shook his head, turned around and called the latest chapter of "Yun'er" Daqing Little Rich Woman. Yun'er bent down and picked up Su Chan's legs and held them on the horse.
The sergeants formed a defensive formation, surrounding Song Zheng and the others in the middle. Song Zheng and Zu Jie were on the left and on the right, protecting both sides of Su Chan, and rode their horses forward.
In order to prevent someone from sneaking up, Zu Jie sent a sergeant to search within 30 zhang of the road, and only after making sure that there was no one before continuing to move forward. Along the way, the procession was very slow, and it was not until after the Shen hour that they arrived at Zigui City.
After settling Song Zheng and others in the pavilion, Zu Jie left in a hurry and hurried to report today's events to Fan Zhitong. It was just dark, and Fan Zhitong personally brought a hundred sergeants to surround the pavilion.
"Lord Song, the subordinates are not well protected, and you are frightened, I hope you will forgive me!"
"Lord Fan, don't be polite, it was Song who was greedy for amusement at a certain time, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. Thanks to Zu Qianhu's quick reaction, otherwise Song would not have been able to escape the enemy's sharp arrows, and he would have to thank the adults when it came to it. This statement is quite a defense of Zu Jie, Song Zheng will not let his brother suffer.
Seeing Song Zheng's demeanor, he did not show the slightest panic. Fan Zhitong nodded secretly, "Thank you Lord Song for your understanding." Under the rule of the state, there are people who plot against adults, which is really bold. I have sent people to search within a radius of twenty miles from Qu Zi Temple, and I am sure to capture the assassin. ”
"Master Fan has a heart." Song Zheng nodded.
Fan Zhitong paused slightly, "Guizhou is the location of my Great Qi Shu Pass, and there are heavy troops. That man dared to assassinate here, and he must have had a heart for the adults. Who is here to deal with the envoys of Daqi is quite puzzling. ”
Song Zheng said lightly, "Presumably, there are people in Shu who are unwilling to let people go in person, so they resort to such a method." This is not surprising. ”
"Lord Song's thoughts coincide with this official. It seems that the adults are not going to be peaceful, and I hope the adults will be more careful. ”
"At this point, Lord Fan can rest assured, after all, Song is an official envoy of Great Qi, if Shu doesn't want to turn his face publicly, he will definitely take care of Song." Song Zheng chuckled, "Of course, if something happens to Song in Zigui, the people of Shu will celebrate." ”
Fan Zhitong's face froze, and he hurriedly said, "That's right!" These Shu people are also vicious. ”
Song Zheng secretly said in his heart, whether it was done by the people of Shu or not, it is not certain. However, before the truth is known, it is a good excuse to plant the matter on the Shu people.
The two talked about the specific situation of the assassination for a while, and Fan Zhitong suddenly said, "Lord Song, I asked people to buy a few local side dishes, and they are here tonight, how about giving the adults a shock?" ”
"Then there is Lord Lao, Song just asked the adult for advice on military affairs." Knowing that the other party had something to say, Song Zheng didn't allow it.
Fan Zhitong was indeed prepared, and soon, the wine and food were served. There were no accompanying guests, only Fan Zhitong and Song Zheng. Zu Jie had already been sent out to search for the Assassins overnight.
After saying a few words to each other and drinking a few cups together, Song Zheng asked tentatively, "Master Fan, you must already know that the Su Chan Su family in Jiangning City wants to travel to Shu with me. Su family's piano skills are unparalleled, why don't you call her and play a song for adults, how about it? ”
Fan Zhitong frowned and said lightly, "That woman must have been frightened today, so there is no need to call her?" ”
Su Chan's singing art is highly sought after by the world, but Fan Zhitong doesn't want to see it. Song Zheng knew that Fan Zhitong was not an uninformed person, and he refused to accompany Su Chan today, which seemed to be because he had an opinion on his envoy. Today, on the way to Qu Zici, Song Zheng had inquired with Zu Jie and had realized this. This is also the reason why Fan Zhitong's etiquette was thoughtful yesterday, but he was a little cold.
Sure enough, Fan Zhitong took it and said euphemistically, "Lord Song is a young man, and Fan is very envious." It's just that the envoy of the adults represents my great qi, and it seems inappropriate to take the woman there. If the adult goes first, the official will escort the woman to the other side after a while, what do you think? ”
"The Shu people are romantic, and the envoy took everyone to Su there, but it is just to cater to the appetite of the Shu people, and it should be beneficial to the envoy. As for the Su family himself, when he arrives in Shu, the envoy will leave it to his disposal and will not ask. ”
Fan Zhitong's face was a little unsightly, and he hesitated for a while, "I heard that this Su family seems to have something to do with that traitor." ”
Song Zheng knew that the other party was kind, so he had to say sincerely, "Master Fan is a fellow villager, and the kid doesn't dare to hide it from you." Presumably, adults should know about the boy's experience, the younger generation was the secretary of the Imperial City Division, and before leaving Jiangning, he was the right supervisor of the department, and he knew everything about it. This time to go to Shu, the future is unclear, and the younger generation has to prepare in many ways and be cautious. ”
"Alas, that's it, since you call yourself a junior and have a bottom in your heart, Fan no longer has a beak. It's just ...... to go" Fan Zhitong shook his head and drank all the wine in the cup.
"Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky." Song Zheng also drank the wine with a smile, "I can do my best, life and death, success and failure, don't have to be too persistent." ”
Fan Zhitong looked at Song Zheng in a daze for a while, and suddenly said, "I have already spread the word about your assassination this time." ”
Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately gave a salute, "Junior, thank you." However, Shu must go, even if it is delayed for some time, what can it do? When Jiang Ning sends someone over, he will be reprimanded. It's better to go there now, and maybe you can fight for something for me. ”
What Fan Zhitong meant, Song Zheng understood, was to use this attack as an excuse to delay time and wait for the outcome of the battle at Luoyang Pass. Whether the war is smooth or not can not only affect Shu's attitude towards itself, but also determine what kind of attitude it will take to enter Shu. It's not like now, it's like a derogatory.
Although Song Zheng rejected Fan Zhitong's kindness twice, Fan Zhitong was not angry, "I have been in Daqi for so many years, and it is not easy to come up with a talent like Song Xiaolang. It's a pity, it's a pity! ”
From the other party's eyes, Song Zheng saw pity and grief and indignation, and couldn't help laughing, "Why should the predecessors be like this? As long as my Daqi sergeant does not set foot in Shu for a day, Shu will not treat the younger generation as a matter of what it is, at most restrict his actions. I also just avoided the limelight, so as not to stage another impeachment drama of a hundred officials. Presumably when I came back from Shu, Daqi had already changed its scene. ”
