Chapter 547: First Strike, Stronger
Jiang Shi was also a soldier and horse envoy in the Ya as the capital of the Yaya, but he was actually a puppet, and the real power was in the hands of Tian Mou.
Tian Mu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly returned the salute, while Jiang Shi took Tian Mou's hand affectionately, and walked into the inner courtyard with his own brothers on his back.
The birthday banquet has not yet started, the VIPs are resting in the back house, there are too many people, and the birthday star is unskilled, and it is impossible to cover everything. can spare such a long time to accompany Tian Mu, this face is not small.
Tian Mu couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but he reasoned enough to persuade Jiang Shi to go on his own way, not to neglect the other guests because of him.
Jiang Shi was willing to go, insisted on accompanying Tian Mou, talking and laughing, and suddenly someone reported that the sedan chair of Tian Huaiji and Mrs. Yuan had arrived outside the door, and everyone was shocked.
Generally speaking, when the high-ranking generals of the feudal towns celebrate their birthdays, the festival makes them send people to send a congratulatory gift to the past, and the light value of the congratulatory gift depends on the status of the birthday star and the distance between relatives, and there is a difference but it is very different.
If the festival envoy can send a cronie around him to congratulate him on his behalf, it will be a great honor for the birthday star. If you send your brothers, sons and nephews over, it will be even more brilliant, which can make the birthday star grateful and die for him.
Except for a very small number of old ministers, the festival envoys generally do not attend the birthday banquets of their subordinates.
In the feudal town, the festival envoy is the king, that is, the sky, and there are only courtiers in the world who congratulate the monarch on his birthday, how can there be a reverse reason.
But now, not only did the festival make Tian Huaizhi arrive, but even the regent's Mrs. Yuan also arrived, which gave Jiang Shize a lot of face. Jiang Shi was sincerely frightened, his hands kept shaking, and he was stunned for a long time and didn't know what to do.
It wasn't until a group of people, including Tian Mu, reminded him again and again that he woke up like a dream, hurriedly redressed his clothes, and went out in a panic.
Tian Mu called a family member and ordered him to ride a fast horse back to report that the Jiedu envoy and his wife were present together, and his father should also come out to show his face
Tian Xing was shocked when he received the report, and hurriedly ordered to prepare the horse, and as soon as the person walked to the door, the youngest son Tian Qun ran over and stopped: "The second brother has already gone on behalf of his father, why should my father run again."
Tian Xing said: "The handsome and the lady have gone, I won't go, and the number of etiquette is not in line." Net"
Tian Qun grabbed the reins of the horse and persuaded: "When my sister was leaving, I repeatedly told my father not to go out lightly, and he didn't have any preparations, so he still didn't go according to the child." If there is any rudeness, you can make up for it on another day. The handsome and the lady will not be blamed. ”
Tian Xing thought for a while, leaned down and ordered: "Let Wu Jishen lead the Blue Armor Army into the city." ”
Wu Jishen was recommended to Tian Xing by Wei Bo's veteran Tian Rong, and his father was Wu Cifei, who was known as the "No. 1 Strategist in Hebei". Wu Jishen is young and promising, brave and good at fighting, a dead soldier in charge, wearing blue armor, known as the "Blue Armor Army", extremely fierce, especially good at street battles in the city, is a trump card in Tian Xing's hands.
Tian Qun wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, and said, "Father, walk slowly on the road, and I'll call General Wu to come into the city to escort him." ”
After that, he asked for a military horse, and rushed to the blue armor army camp in Beicheng.
Tian Xing looked at his son's vigorous back and smiled with satisfaction: "This child is the same as his sister, cautious and knowledgeable. It's just that the experience is still tender, and Lao Tzu can still make a fuss about going to the banquet in Weizhou City. ”
Tian Xing's family house is in the west of Weizhou City, and the people living around him are all famous families and families. Jiang Shize's family slave was born, although he became a big official, but there was no place in the west of the city, his home was in the south of the city, from the west of the city to the south of the city, he needed to pass by a clear water pond, which was a natural lake in the center of Weizhou City, there were canals leading to the outside of the city, there was living water in and out, and it was one of the main sources of water for the residents in the city.
Tian Xing is in a high position, every time he travels by the guards to clear the road, it is now the afternoon, there are many pedestrians on the street, the guards are not easy to clear the road, Tian Xing is in a hurry, the clearing has not yet been completed, and the people have arrived on the road.
Before leaving, his daughter Tian Ling repeatedly told him to live in a simple and cautious place, Tian Xing believed his daughter's words, this way was cautious, but it was safe and sound, to the edge of this clear water pond, he unconsciously glanced at the middle of the water, and suddenly sighed in his heart: there is a painting boat floating on the lake.
This lake is located in the center of the city, the citizens take water, laundry, bathing, daily chaos, literati, rich and noble people do not want to touch the edge, where did this painting boat come from
Tian Xing immediately ordered: "The front and rear teams are transferred and go back." ”
As soon as he had said this, a feathered arrow flew from the boat, and the guard issued a timely warning, and two stout hands grabbed him almost simultaneously by his belt, tearing him off his horse.
The feathered arrow was headed for Tian Xing's mount, and an arrow pierced the horse's neck, and the horse neighed and fell to the ground.
The captain of the guard was in danger, and urgently ordered to use shields to form a tortoiseshell formation to protect Tian Xing.
Arrows were shot out one after another from the painting boat, and someone would fall down every time the arrow came out, but with the protection of the tortoiseshell array, Tian Xing was safe and sound, and the accompanying guards also had archery masters, shooting at them and suppressing them for the time being.
Everyone slowly retreated to the streets, relying on the fang wall as a cover, and was about to spread out in formation to arrest the assassins, when they suddenly saw a group of elite armor troops from the north coming over, and the people and horses in the department were dressed in blue armor, although they were walking, they were as fast as meteors, which was the "blue armor army" that Tian Xing relied on.
Walking at the front of the team was the general Wu Jishen, followed by a tall and thin young man, sweating profusely and his face was purple, but it was Tian Xing's son Tian Qun.
Tian Xing stood still, looked at his son with relief, and said that this child was naughty and mischievous, but he could be very useful in a critical moment.
Wu Jishen stepped forward to pay respects, Tian Xing hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Jishen, you came so fast." ”
Wu Jishen asked anxiously: "Who assassinated the marshal?"
Tian Xing was about to answer, when he suddenly felt a chill under his ribs, and the sharp pain instantly flowed all over his body: Wu Jishen's face suddenly changed, and a short dagger penetrated his intimate soft armor and pierced his soft underbelly. Before he could come back to his senses, severe pain followed: Wu Jishen held his arm with one hand, and stabbed him five or six times with the other.
Tian Xing's body quickly became cold, the four were blurred, and his consciousness disappeared, and he could only feel that the dagger was still stabbing into his body, flipping, stirring, and smashing his life.
Tian Xing weakly held Wu Jishen's arm, wanting to ask why, but blood came out of his mouth in large streams.
Wu Jishen took a step back, and Tian Xing collapsed with a bang, blood flowing into a small stream.
The fifteen-year-old boy Tian Qun was stunned, what happened too suddenly, how could the rescuers he had worked so hard to move suddenly become his father's life-urging ghost
After a short blank pause, the young man suddenly came back to his senses, and without saying a word, ran towards the clear water pond
Someone in the Blue Armor raised his crossbow
Tian Xing's guards raised their broadswords
Two of Weizhou's most elite armies broke out in a fierce encounter on the streets of Weizhou.
With a "poof", the fifteen-year-old boy plunged headlong into the water, and after a splash, he never surfaced again.
The water of the clear water pond rippled, like a big mouth that eats people and does not spit out bones, and coldly swallowed him.
Tian Mu, who was sitting in the VIP room drinking tea and chatting, suddenly found that the attitude of the people around him had changed drastically. Suddenly, the smiling face was gone, and his eyes became strange and cold, and they avoided him one by one as if avoiding the plague.
The VIP withdrew, the guard entered, and he was alone in the VIP room, and he was at a loss and didn't know why.
An old man with a solemn expression walked in, followed by four wolf-like ironclad guards, the old man glanced at Tian Mu majestically, and said coldly: "Tian Xing raised troops to rebel, and he has been ambushed, I advise you to be arrested with your hands tied, don't make mistakes." ”
Tian Mu recognized people, Tian Rong, a veteran general who knew soldiers and horses in Weizhou and was highly respected.
Tian Mu clearly remembered that since his father took charge of the army, Tian Rong was sick and recuperated at home, he didn't embarrass his father, and his father didn't embarrass him, and they were at peace with each other.
What made him even more thunderous was that Tian Rong said that his father Tian Xing raised troops to rebel and had been ambushed. What's going on here
No one told him what had happened.
He only saw the four guards scattering in formation to outflank him, Tian Mu was furious, drew his sword, and roared angrily: "Dog thief, dare to engage Lao Tzu, I will fight with you." ”
Tian Mu is an excellent general, who can command thousands of troops to attack the city, but his hand-to-hand combat skills are not much better than the four guards.
Two rounds later, Tian Mu was pressed to the ground, and he screamed: "Wronged, I wronged, my father ate people and framed him, he is not a traitor." ”
Tian Rong waved his hand with a cold face, and the four guards twisted Tian Mu's arm and escorted him out.
Tian Rong was the only one left in the empty VIP room in the back hall, and the veteran stared at Tian Mu's back through the window lattice, but his heart seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle. He didn't know whether today's choice was right or wrong, and what kind of future a flash of thought would bring to Weizhou.
