Chapter 159: Robbing People at Night
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Yanqu is a village only a dozen miles away from Deng County.
Liu Xiu really estimated correctly, when they arrived at Yanqu, it was just dark. When they arrived near the village, Liu Xiu grabbed the reins and stopped. Yan Guang and the others urged the horse to come to him, and followed Liu Xiu's line of sight to raise his eyes and look forward. In the dim night, the shadow of Yan Qu could be faintly seen. Liu Xiu watched for a moment and said to the people around him: "We go directly into the village like this, the goal is too big, and we don't know the situation in the village, so let's do it, Jiu'er, you follow me into the village to explore."
Lu, Ziling, you take everyone to hide the horses in the nearby woods. β
Everyone had no objections, and Yan Guang reminded: "Lord, after entering the village, be more careful!" β
"Yes." Liu Xiu handed Yan Guang the reins of his horse, and then walked towards the village with Jiu'er.
Yanqu is not a big village, just a few dozen households. As soon as Liu Xiu and Jiu'er walked to the entrance of the village, they saw an old man sitting on the side of the road enjoying the shade, talking about something with each other, and the words were quite intense.
Liu Xiu stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "A few old men." β
The old people stopped talking and looked at Liu Xiu and Jiu'er curiously, feeling that they were dressed well and not very old, one of the old men asked curiously, "I don't know where this son came from?" β
"My brother and sister are from Shinno."
"Oh! Are you coming to Yanqu? β
"Visiting family!" Liu Xiu asked with a smile: "May I ask my husband, how to go to Zhao's house?" β
"The Zhao family? Which Zhao family? β
"It's the Zhao family of the county lieutenant Zhao Ying!"
Hearing this, the faces of several old men changed at the same time.
One of the old men stood up tremblingly, looked into the village, and then whispered to Liu Xiu mysteriously: "This son, you take your sister and leave quickly, the Zhao family has committed an accident!" β
Liu Xiu pretended to be surprised and asked, "Committing a crime?" What did you do? β
"Who knows! A team of officers and soldiers just arrived at Zhao's house, and I heard that it was still the county soldiers who rushed over from the county town! Even the county government was alarmed, and the Zhao family's crime this time must be small! β
Liu Xiu frowned secretly, it seemed that he had really been guessed by Ziling, Zhen Fu really sent someone to Yanqu, and he came so quickly. He showed a nervous look and asked, "Uncle, may I ask, are all those officers and soldiers gone?" "Not yet! It's in the Zhao family now! Young man, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise you will be implicated, and it will be too late for your bowels to repent! Liu Xiu's appearance is handsome, his speech and demeanor are also very decent, and he also has the elegance of a scholar
so it is easy to win the favor of strangers towards him.
"Thank you for the reminder! However, we are distant relatives of the Zhao family, and even if the Zhao family commits an accident, it will not implicate me and my sister. May I ask the old man, how is the Zhao family going? β
The old man sighed, pointed to the village, and said, "The second family in the west of the village is the Zhao family. But young man, the old man still has to advise you, take your sister and go quickly, don't get into trouble. β
Liu Xiu seemed to hesitate again and again, and finally bowed to the old man, then pulled Jiu'er, turned around and walked back. Looking at the backs of Liu Xiu and Jiu'er, the old people in the cool breathed a sigh of relief, and some people couldn't help but sigh: "What a sin!" Lao Zhao's family is good, although he has a son who is a county lieutenant, he has never bullied the neighbors in the village
γ β
"I estimate that nine times out of ten, Zhao Ying's kid committed something in the county town and implicated his family."
"What can you do in the county? And alarmed the county government? β
"Rebellion! Isn't the Liu family on Cai Yang's side reversed! β
"Rebellion, ......"
Listening to the discussion of the old people behind him, Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled, if Zhao Ying really reversed, wouldn't he have taken his family away earlier, and would he have waited for the county government to send someone to arrest him?
He and Jiu'er left the village, went into the grove outside the village, and found Yan Guang and the others, Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "The people sent by Zhen Fu have arrived in Yanqu and are now in the Zhao family!" β
When everyone heard this, they all frowned. Feng Yi muttered, "What a speed! β
Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "The fact that the people from the county town can come so quickly can only show that before we occupy Caiyang, Zhen Fu has already sent people out of the county town!" β
Gai Yan said: "This Zhen Fu still has some skills! β
"Not surprising! What happened in Wancheng had already made Zhen Fu realize that the general was about to start an incident in Chungling, and it was reasonable for him to send people in advance to control the families of important officials in various counties. β
Yan Guang said a word, then looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "Lord, what are you going to do?" β
Liu Xiu asked rhetorically, "Ziling, what do you mean?" β
Yan Guang said: "There are two ways, either we go directly into the village and rob people, or wait for the other party to leave the village, and we rob people halfway." β
After a pause, he added: "I'm more inclined to the latter." Entering the village to do something, the scene is difficult to control, and it will inevitably hurt the innocent. β
Liu Xiu said: "As I thought, we set up an ambush outside the village and do it outside the village!" β
There are not many family members of the Zhao family, there are Zhao Ying's parents, as well as two younger sisters, and two domestic servants, a total of six people, and there are not many officers and soldiers from the county town, there are only a dozen soldiers in total, and the leader is only a chief.
The county army didn't know where to get a carriage, and loaded Zhao Ying's parents and two younger sisters into the carriage, two domestic servants were responsible for driving the carriage, and more than a dozen county soldiers rode horses and guarded the carriage.
Liu Xiu and the others, who were ambushed in the grass on the side of the road, saw that the carriage was getting closer and closer, Liu Xiu pulled Fu Jun's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Ziwei, do you see the leader in the team?" Get rid of him first! β
Fu Jun's heart was shocked, and he looked at Liu Xiu with a surprised expression.
His eyesight has been specially trained, and even in the dark, the visual distance is much greater than that of ordinary people.
At this time, he could only barely see clearly that there were seventeen officers and soldiers in the horse team that came over, but he didn't expect that Liu Xiu could even distinguish the chief among them.
As the carriage got closer and closer to their ambush site, Fu Jun finally saw clearly that there was indeed a commander among the officers and soldiers.
He nodded at Liu Xiu and whispered, "Don't worry, lord, I'm sure!" As he spoke, he slowly took off the longbow he was carrying.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers were riding forward on horseback, and suddenly, they heard a whoosh, and before people could even figure out what was going on, the head of the crowd suddenly tilted his body and fell directly from his horse.
The surrounding soldiers were startled, and subconsciously exclaimed, "What's the chiefβ"
People lowered their heads and looked at them, and their faces changed greatly, and there was an arrow stuck in his neck in shock, and the force was so great that it had pierced his neck.
Shi Chang lay on the ground, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make any sound, and all that came out of his mouth was blood foam. There are enemies! Before the officers and soldiers could shout, Liu Xiu had already rushed out of the grass, his figure jumped up, jumped two or three meters high, the Chixiao Sword swept out, and a cavalryman sitting on a horse had his neck cut off, and his headless corpse
The body was still sitting on the horse, and the huge human head had fallen to the ground.
Burst!
Blood arrows erupted into the air from the short neck, seemingly dyeing the bright moon in the sky blood-red.
A soldier next to him roared, raised his spear, and stabbed at Liu Xiu. However, the edge of the spear did not get close to Liu Xiu, and a huge black shadow burst out of the grass next to him, like a running rhinoceros, slamming into the horse.
Even people and horses, weighing hundreds of catties, were knocked to the ground by this black shadow. Before the fallen soldier got up, the ring-headed knife had already been chopped down, and with a crisp sound, the soldier's head fell.
This black shadow is none other than Gaiyan.
The sneak attack of Liu Xiu and others came quickly and suddenly, and it was extremely sharp, and they took the lives of several soldiers in a row.
The remaining dozen soldiers were horrified, but unfortunately they hadn't responded yet, and Liu Xiu and the others had already killed them closely.
More than a dozen soldiers, in the blink of an eye, fell more than halfway. The remaining few people were not expected to be able to fight, so they urged the war horses under their crotches to flee in the wilderness. They wanted to run, but they also had to ask Fu Jun's arrows.
Sou! Poof-
As the arrow pierced the sky, one of the soldiers who had urged his horse to flee was hit by an arrow in his back, fell forward and fell from his horse.
Another soldier subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and with a whoosh, an arrow shot into the back of his neck with precision.
Two arrows in a row, with no more than a second between them, killed two soldiers one after another. Such a magical archery technique really makes a cool breeze run down the spine.
The other two fleeing soldiers swung their whips and slapped their horses' buttocks as if they had gone mad, while both of them were lying on their horses, reducing their exposure to the minimum.
Fu Jun snorted coldly, he rushed out with arrows, and flew forward a few meters away, at the same time, he drew arrows from the quiver, put on the bowstring, the arrows pointed into the air, and shot an arrow fiercely.
The arrow drew a wonderful parabola in the night sky, falling from a height, as if it had eyes, impartial, and nailed to the back of a cavalryman's heart. His arrow frightened Liu Xiu and the others, in such a dark night, the other party fled on horseback again, the speed was extremely fast, and he couldn't see the angle that could shoot the other party, but Fu Jun could still shoot the other party's incredible arrow
, its archery skills are so brilliant that they can be called the pinnacle.
After shooting the soldier, Fu Jun stopped running forward, he re-twisted his bow and arrows, and the arrow was still aimed at the air.
Everyone around straightened up, held their breath and looked at Fu Jun first, and then looked at the officers and soldiers who had run away a long way and had completely disappeared into the night, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts, that officer and soldier had run away, and you could still shoot him with an arrow?
People were thinking that Fu Jun had shot an arrow.
Phew-
The arrows pierced the air with a piercing whistling sound.
The whistling sound changed from loud to small, and then from small to completely inaudible. Just when people thought that Fu Jun's arrow was in the air, they heard a sudden scream in the distant night.
This scream made everyone feel creepy, and they looked at Fu Jun, who was putting the longbow back on his body and seemed to be fine, and sighed in his heart: Is he still human?
Yan Guang coughed dryly, walked up to Fu Jun, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "Ziwei's archery technique can be called Li Guang in the world!" Gai Yan said with palpitations: "Don't mess with anyone who is good at archery." "Otherwise, maybe one day, I don't even know how I died.
