Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Savior

The person who was chased was the old lady of the Wei family, after the city was broken, she fled from the south gate under the escort of more than 100 soldiers, and encountered the Hui army rangers several times, but finally escaped, seeing that it was out of the control of the Hui people, but suddenly encountered a group of more than 50 Hui army scouts, the Hui scouts also seemed to feel the importance of the characters in the carriage, and they chased after her, and at the most critical moment, Zhang Huan and others saved her.

"In Xiataiyuan, Shizi Zhang is sick, see Mrs. Wei!"

Zhang Huan was a kind old woman in front of her, full of silver hair, about sixty years old, she was the wife of the former Xiangguo Wei Jiansu, and also the mother of the current Wei family's head Wei Ge, at this time she was shocked for a while, and hurriedly waved her hand to Zhang Huan and said: "Zhang Gongzi is my life-saving benefactor, it should be me to give you a gift, please hurry up and forgive the courtesy!" ”

Xin Lang led the scholars of Longyou Academy to kneel down and kowtow respectfully, to some extent, Mrs. Wei was their grandmother.

"Longyou Academy Jincheng Captain Xin Lang knocks to see his grandmother!"

"It turns out that you are the Biaolang of Xin Yunjing's family!" Mrs. Wei's tears flowed down, she pulled Xin Lang and begged: "In order to defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Wei family poured troops north, but they couldn't protect themselves, the city was broken, the ancestral hall was burned, the family property was robbed, and even your academy became a ruin, I don't know how many Wei family children were killed and arrested, and Qing'er, he fled with me, an hour ago in order to lure away the Hui people, led the family members to flee west, life and death are uncertain." ”

Old Madam Wei wiped away her tears, sighed and said, "Biao Lang, speaking of which, Qing'er is still your junior brother, and he admires you very much, he has mentioned you to me more than once, can you go and save him?" ”

Xin Lang nodded without hesitation, he stood up and said calmly to Zhang Huan: "Wei Qing is my subordinate in Longyou Academy, I can't sit idly by and go to my sick brother!" This is an internal matter of my academy, I hope you don't interfere! ”

Zhang Huan smiled slightly: "Wei Qing is also the eldest son of Wei Shangshu, the heir of the Wei family!" The old lady also said that in order to defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Wei family poured troops north, but they could not protect themselves, so private affairs are also state affairs, how can I stay out of the matter? ”

Xin Lang looked at Zhang Huan silently, and after a while, he nodded.

Zhang Huan walked up to Zhao San and said to him, "You protect Old Lady Wei and go back to the ship first." ”

Zhao San saw that his men were killed and wounded, and they were indeed unable to fight again, so he apologized to Zhang Huan and said: "Then we will go back first, and the son will take care all the way!" ”

"Take care, too!" Zhang Huan said no more, he flew on his horse, let go of the reins and galloped westward.

......

Walking through the reckless forests, the sky was getting darker, and the official road ahead was becoming more and more sparsely populated, full of ruins and broken walls, and unburned houses were still smoking.

It was easy to meet a group of fleeing people, only to learn that it was less than two hours before the Hui army had evacuated this place, and at this time the sky was dark, windy, and cold to the bone.

"It's not a way to go on like this, and I don't have a clue."

Zhang Huan grabbed the reins and said with some doubts: "If I were Wei Qing, if I fled west, sooner or later I would encounter the Hui army, and I would definitely turn south again, and besides, we didn't see the dead body of the family along the way, so it was unreasonable to say, so I deduced that Wei Qing ran west for a long time, and it was very likely that he turned south and fled." ”

"I think so too, turn around!" Xin Lang also agreed with Zhang Huan's opinion, and everyone turned around and headed south.

Walking south and re-entering the dense forest, the forest is dark and silent, the cold moonlight penetrates through the cracks in the clouds and trees from time to time, it seems very strange, everyone controls the speed of the horse, so as not to scatter, along the way only hear the rustle of the horse's hooves on the leaves, the night owl suddenly let out a strange cry, pounced into the night sky.

After walking for more than an hour, everyone finally found several dead bodies on the side of the road, that is to say, they went the right way, everyone suddenly became excited, and after walking for more than ten miles, Zhang Huan suddenly stopped, "Listen, what is this sound?" ”

Everyone listened attentively, and in the silent night, there seemed to be a 'commotion!' The sound of the waterfall, "There's a river ahead!" Zhao Yan blurted out.

"Not bad! It's the sound of the river. ”

Zhang Huan nodded and said to Zhao Yan: "You go and see, have you returned to the camp of the people?" ”

Zhao Yan responded, dismounted and ran towards the forest, after a while, I saw him running with excitement on his face, and said eagerly: "It's good to go to the sick, there are really a few tents of the Hui people by the river in front, about 30 people." ”

"Finally found them." Zhang Huan threw the reins of the horse to Zheng Qingming and said, "You guys wait here first, let's go and have a look!" With that, he beckoned to Xin Lang and Zhao Yan, and the three of them quickly ran towards the river.

After running about 100 steps, a river seven or eight zhang wide really appeared in front of it, the river water flowed from the northwest direction, flowed to a slope and suddenly broke off, forming a small waterfall, the water flow became very turbulent here, and then about 200 steps down, there was a small wooden bridge.

They quietly crouched behind a ridge, and looked intently at the opposite bank, where the trees were luxuriant, and they looked particularly white in the moonlight, and saw that there was an open space by the river, and a few tents were set up in the clearing, but the Hui people were all gathered outside, around a roaring bonfire, on which a whole sheep was roasted to a brown, and the meat was fragrant, and the fat fell into the fire, constantly making out 'zizi! A young man was tied up about a few paces away from the Hui people.

"It's him, Wei Qing!"

Xin Lang recognized the young man at a glance, and the excitement that flashed in his eyes suddenly dimmed, there were thirty people on the other side, and they were scouts, how could they fight a group of scholars?

Zhang Huan didn't speak, he looked at the river, and then at the wooden bridge, and seemed to think of something?

At this time, a Hui man walked up to Wei Qing with a leather bag, as if he wanted to feed him, but Wei Qing was extremely stubborn, his head twisted to the side and refused to drink, the Hui man was furious, grabbed him by the hair, dragged two steps, and slammed his head into the river.

Xin Lang saw the fire in his eyes, he stood up, but was held down by Zhang Huan.

Xin Lang couldn't move, so he had to punch the ridge hard.

Zhang Huan stared at the wide river and said slowly, "Maybe I can give it a try!" ”

He turned around and said a few words to Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan immediately bent down and rushed back.

......

Hui Dahan pulled Wei Qing up from the water again, only to hear Wei Qing's indistinct angry scolding, Hui Dahan grinned, grabbed his hair again, and poured the liquor in his skin bag into his mouth, only a moment, Wei Qing's scolding disappeared, Hui Dahan laughed, pushed him and walked away.

At this time, Zhang Huan had already quietly entered the water, and he swooped silently and quickly underwater, and soon swam close to the fire of the Hui people.

Zhang Huan leaned against the river, his body slowly floated, and through the water, he stared closely at Wei Qing, who was already drunk like mud, lying a few steps away and falling asleep.

Zhang Huan quickly calculated the distance and time, Wei Qing was lying in the middle of the fire and the river, which was about three steps away, and he needed to walk six steps when he went ashore, and he would definitely be discovered by the Hui people, from the time he went ashore to the time he was discovered, he might be able to run two or three steps, taking into account the factors such as the darkness under the lamp, hugging Wei Qing, and the time it took for the Hui people to get up and rush, they should be able to rescue Wei Qing into the water.

The key to this is one word: fast!

Zhang Huan slowly gathered enough strength, his body slowly broke away from the water, curled up into an arc, like a full bow, every inch of his muscles were trembling slightly, tense to the extreme.

Suddenly, like a sharp arrow off the string, he rushed to Wei Qing's side in one step, and picked him up with the momentum of his body.

At the moment when Zhang Huan approached Wei Qing, the five Hui people who were facing Wei Qing discovered Zhang Huan at the same time, especially the Hui people who poured wine just now, reacted very quickly, he roared, drew his sword, and rushed up, but he was still late, Zhang Huan was only one step away from the river with Wei Qing in his arms, and he was three steps away from Zhang Huan.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Huan caught a glimpse of only one Hui Hui behind him, and the others were five steps away, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and at the moment of jumping into the river, he suddenly turned around and threw Wei Qing in his hand towards the Hui Hui.

The Hui people who rushed from behind were shocked, he instinctively put away his knife and stretched out his hand to catch Wei Qing, but the person didn't throw it, but a cold light flashed in front of him, and he only felt a cold neck, and he didn't know anything.

Zhang Huan slashed the Hui people to death, he looked up to the sky and laughed, jumped into the water like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, and immediately disappeared.

The other Hui soldiers were stopped by the death of their companions for a moment, and when they rushed to the shore, they saw that Zhang Huan had already emerged on the opposite bank, and then jumped ashore and ran towards the forest with people on his shoulders.

The men and horses on the opposite bank were long gone, and the Hui soldiers accelerated and rushed forward, but not long after they left, more than a dozen black shadows suddenly rushed out of the dense forest by the river, and they quickly got on the bridge, drew their swords together and cut several bridges, and then got on their horses and ran away to the west.

......

The sky gradually brightened, the sky was dyed with purple glow, and in the south of Yaoshui, at the foot of a mountain called Maanling, a group of tired horsemen appeared, they were Zhang Huan and others who had fled all night, and this was a hundred miles away from the place where they fled.

"Brother Xin, how is he?" Zhang Huan stepped forward, glanced at Wei Qing, who had been silent, and asked.

In the purple glow, Zhang Huan saw clearly the face of the heir of the Wei family, his hair was scattered, his skin was snow-white, his long eyelashes, and his delicate and contoured facial features looked like a woman.

It's just that his eyes reveal deep pain from time to time, and the destruction of his family has brought him too deep stimulation, and from last night to now, he has never said a word.

Xin Lang shook his head at Zhang Huan, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Zhang Huan smiled, and didn't ask any more, he looked up at the mountains that stretched for dozens of miles, pondered for a moment, and turned back to everyone: "We are very likely to have run in front of the Hui army now, and we may encounter their scouts at any time, so the safest way is to go up the mountain to dodge, and then return to Chang'an after they are far away." ”

Speaking of this, he rushed to the mountain road on horseback, and everyone cheered up and followed Zhang Huan.
