Chapter 120: Attacked
Early the next morning, after practicing with Tang Xun, Yang Congyi said that he was going out today. Tang Xun immediately said that he was bored in martial arts alone and wanted to go out together, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.
Tang Xun went out and took the sword with him, and he didn't ask much, probably because he was frightened by the man in black.
Before dawn, out of martial arts, the two went all the way south.
When the golden gate is out, the sky is slightly bright, and there are many people who enter and leave the city, some are hawkers, some are taking advantage of the morning to swim in the lake, and the city gate is bustling.
The two ate steamed buns and drank rice porridge at a roadside stall.
There are still a lot of people who swim in the lake early in the morning, there are painting boats that swim all night, at the moment they are docking on the shore and ready to stop, some are making preparations for swimming, the lake pavilion willow bank, the early visitors come out in twos and threes.
Walking all the way to the Qiantang Gate, I saw that there were snacks selling on the side of the road not far away, and there were really a lot of people around, so Yang Congyi smiled and said: "Brother Tang, you wait here, I'll go see what delicious it is, buy some and try it." ”
Seeing Tang Xun stop waiting, Yang Congyi walked towards the stall, and as soon as he got close to the vendor, he slowly got into the crowd, and quickly left north by blocking Tang Xun's sight by everyone.
From Qiantang Gate to Yuhang Gate, he didn't know how far it was, so he had to run all the way, he didn't have a means of transportation, the sooner he set off, the better.
Tang Xun waited for a while and didn't see Yang Congyi come back, he was suspicious, and immediately went over to look around in the crowd, naturally he didn't see anyone, didn't think much about it, and chased straight towards the main road to the north.
Brother Yang, what's wrong? Tang Xun thought while chasing, could it be that he had heard some ulterior secret the night before? In order to prevent the secret from leaking, the man in black wants to kill all the martial arts students, obviously the secret is extraordinary, even if Brother Yang hears it, he shouldn't rush out of the city, otherwise wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?
As soon as he said that he would go out in the morning, he was a little suspicious, and when he went out, he deliberately brought a sword for self-defense. Brother Yang is unarmed, if he encounters the group of men in black the day before yesterday, how can he resist?
Rushing to the door of Yuhang in one breath, there was no one in sight, and Tang Xun was anxious.
Brother Yang is not a frivolous person, he left in such a hurry, it must be because the matter is very urgent, and he has a relationship with the black-clothed killer, then this matter must be not trivial, is it because of danger and caution, so he doesn't reveal any information to him?
Tang Xun didn't care about the question of why he didn't tell him, Brother Yang didn't bring weapons when he went out, and since he wanted to do dangerous things, it was impossible not to defend himself. Thinking of this, he asked the fish seller if there was a shop selling weapons in the vicinity.
Out of Yuhang Gate is to the north, the more north the more dangerous, the more prosperous the soldiers, how can there be less weapons shops. Tang Xun easily inquired that there were many people selling weapons three miles to the north.
He immediately pursued north again, and in about a quarter of an hour he arrived at the first weapons shop, which had just opened, and the shopkeeper was still fiddling with the door.
Tang Xun immediately asked, "Shopkeeper, did anyone buy weapons just now?" ”
The shopkeeper looked up and replied, "No, what do you want to buy, the small shop has everything." ”
Tang Xun raised his hand and thanked: "Thank you store, I'll buy it when I come back." "I'll go to the next one.
After asking three families in succession, I finally found out that a young man had bought a bow, a pot of arrows, and a gun not long ago.
After asking about the characteristics, who was not Brother Yang, he immediately asked where he went. The shopkeeper told him that it seemed to be heading north.
Tang Xun also hurriedly bought a bow and a pot of arrows, thanked the shopkeeper, and chased to the north.
Let's say that Yang Congyi went all the way north out of Yuhangmen, bought bows, arrows and spears, and walked directly north along the official road. He didn't know when the envoys of the Jin State would go out of the city, but they must have taken the official road, and maybe there were officials from the Great Song Dynasty to see them off all the way, and it was normal to send them out of Yuhangmen, and it was also said that they would send ten miles out of the city, but it would be unreasonable to send them all the way to a hundred miles.
He wanted to find a suitable place for ambush and safe retreat ten miles away, he knew very well that he was here to secretly report and warn, not to send him to death, if the other party really regarded him as an assassin, and he couldn't escape, wouldn't it be his own death.
The official road is wide, from Lin'an all the way to the north, all flat paddy fields, unobstructed, and I have not been able to find a suitable place to ambush.
Two hours later, around the hour, about fifty miles away from Lin'an City, Yang Congyi finally saw a small mountain, although the mountain is not high, but the trees are dense, and there are many shrubs, you can hide.
Walking in, it is more convenient to see that the official road passes through the middle of this hill, as long as you choose a suitable location, a hundred steps away, shoot two arrows at will, pass the information out, turn around and evacuate, the other party can't even see people.
Yang Congyi looked at the mountains on both sides as he walked, and after a while, he took a fancy to a relatively high position on one of the mountains, which was a hill with a height of five or six zhang, and the distance from the official road should be a hundred steps away, which was the ideal ambush location.
Climb the small hill and look at the official road, although the line of sight is blocked by the branches and leaves of the trees, the official road is faint and cannot be seen clearly, but he only needs to shoot the arrow to the official road, which can play the role of a warning.
After choosing the ambush location, Yang Congyi found a retreat route again, and left quietly after the warning.
All that remains is to wait for the Jin envoy to pass by. The time to leave Lin'an will not be later than noon, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty will send them off for ten miles, it will take half an hour, and there will be about forty miles to get here. Based on this calculation, the Jin envoys should arrive two hours later at the earliest.
It was still early, and Yang Congyi immediately hid under the forest to meditate and practice to recover his energy.
I don't know how long I waited, but there were more and more pedestrians on the official road, coming and going from south to north, in shapes*. After another half an hour, there were few pedestrians on the road, and it was thought that the envoys of the Jin State had already been sent to leave Lin'an, and the flow of people out of the city was regulated. So it seems that they should be coming soon.
I hope that Wanyan Liang will stabilize the focus, and don't be so arrogant when he leaves Lin'an City, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to go back.
An hour later, there was a faint sound of singing in the distance, the voice was beautiful, and it seemed to sing: "..... Looking at the sparkling wine, a cluster of smoke villages, several rows of frost trees. Under the waning sun, the fisherman returned with a hammer. The defeat is scattered, the declining poplars are covered, the shore is two, two, three, three, three, and the sand wandering girl. Avoid travelers, smile shyly. At this point, because of the thought, the embroidery pavilion was lightly thrown, and Langping was difficult to stay. After sighing, what is the basis for Jodinning. Miserable separation, empty hatred of the late return date. Tearful eyes, Shenjing Road. The sound of breaking the hung is far away and the twilight is long. ”
Yang Congyi scolded secretly, eighty percent of the boy Yan Liang arrived, and he didn't know where to converge, he was really looking for death.
After a short time, he heard the sound of the hooves of the horses, and after a few breaths, he saw two tall horses galloping away first, and they should have gone to the front to explore the way.
After a while, the gentle and clear singing voice became clearer and clearer: "The dream is through the window and the wind is on the line, and the cold lamp is blowing." That can wake up from wine, smell the empty steps, and the night rain drops frequently. Follow the path and be a world-savvy guest for a long time. Negative beauty, a few promises, then endure, the past party, suddenly turned into sorrow. Extremely sad, reminiscing again and again, in the depths of the cave room, several times to drink and scatter the songs, fragrant and warm mandarin duck quilt. Evacuate temporarily, Fay's heart. There are thousands of kinds of clouds and rain, and they pity each other. Just now, the sky is long and eternal, and there is no reason to alienate one's own family. Do you know when, but you have Qin Yun? The original low pillow, gently whispered with, Jiangxiang night and night, counting the cold and remembering ......"
As the song got closer and closer, the knight could already be seen opening the way ahead.
Yang Congyi stretched out his bow and arrows, and was about to shoot at the knight, but after thinking about it, Yan Liang was too arrogant, and he was afraid that he would not be afraid of his life if he sang all the way? You have to scare him, shoot at his carriage, and teach him a lesson. So he waited quietly for his carriage to come.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Yan Liang hugging left and right, coming in an open-top carriage, Yang Congyi glanced at it slightly, and then his right hand was loosened, and the sharp arrow roared out, shooting straight towards the carriage.
There was only a neigh, and the feathered arrows fell on the back of the horse pulling the cart.
Yang Congyi stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, and then shot another arrow, then turned around and ran.
"There are assassins! Protect your adults! I heard a shout from the official road, followed by a piercing scream.
Yang Congyi was running on the hillside, there was only this thing he could do, if Wan Yanliang didn't restrain himself and continued to die, he would have to find another way to find a career again.
Soon out of the small hill, he hid his bow and arrows in the weeds, and then went straight to the official road in front of him, he still wanted to see if Wan Yanliang had learned to restrain himself.
What Yang Congyi didn't know was that just after he left, there was a fight on the official road.
Just across the hill where he was hiding, there was a cry of "There are assassins!" After the shout of "protect the lord", dozens of cold arrows were fired, and the knight was killed on the spot. When the well-trained knights instantly protected the carriage, hundreds of black-clothed people rushed out of the forest and directly killed the envoys of the Jin State on the official road.
The man in black took a knife and a sword, a gun and a hammer, all kinds of weapons, all kinds of weapons, and went down the hill without saying a word, and killed with the mission.
"Are you alright, my lord?" The commander of the guards, with his scimitar in hand, looked around the hillside and asked in a loud voice in front of the carriage.
Wan Yanliang was hit by an arrow in his arm, only to see him grit his teeth and break the arrow, and said sharply: "Don't entangle, rush over!" ”
"My lord, the front and back are blocked by big trees, and I can't get through." The commander of the guards hurried back.
Wan Yan Liang saw that the guard was not the opponent of the man in black, and after a while, he suffered heavy casualties, grabbed a knife, jumped off the carriage, and pointed to the other side of the hill: "Go up the mountain!" ”
The commander of the guards immediately dismounted with the knight who had protected Yan Liang, protected him front and back, and fled to the mountain where Yang Congyi had been hiding before.
"Don't let the golden dog run away! Pursue! The man in black shouted, and immediately more than a dozen people chased after him.
Wan Yanliang was under protection, and finally climbed up the hillside, stumbling in the woods, and was caught up by the man in black after a short time.
The commander of the guards immediately said, "Stop them!" ”
More than a dozen guards then turned around and killed the man in black.
After a while, he heard someone chasing after him, and the commander of the guards looked back, and immediately said to the guards: "Stop them!" ”
More than a dozen guards turned to the enemy and fought to the death with the man in black.
The commander of the guards saw that there were not many guards around Wan Yanliang, and it would definitely not work if he continued like this, so he said: "My lord, after we stay, you go forward and find a place to hide." If I survive, I'll come back to you, and if I don't, you'll find a way to return to Jinguo. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Yan Liang to agree, he immediately led the remaining guards to rush back.
Wan Yanliang was about to stop it, but after thinking about it, this might be the best way, so he didn't say anything, and continued to run forward without looking back.
After running for a while, and all his splendid clothes were hung in disarray by the branches, he took off his coat and threw it aside, and then continued on his way. He had fled for his life like this, he was tired and panting, and he was about to suffocate.
I felt that I had been running for a long time, and finally ran out of the woods, only to see a flat river in front of me, and there were all paddy fields not far away, and there was no shelter, so I was immediately dumbfounded.
The rice is only half a foot deep, and there is nowhere to hide, so I can only continue to run. Where to run? Wan Yanliang didn't think too much about it, and turned around and fled north, which was the direction of home.
