Chapter 173: The Queen's Majesty
The sun was setting, the lanterns were speckled and lit up the city, the ox carts passed through the streets and alleys, the wheels ran over the puddles, the carriage swayed in the shaking, the one-armed scholar sat in it, and on the opposite seat was a slender and tall young man, a ranger he had recruited not long ago, and used as a guard for the time being.
Occasionally, there were voices in the streets and alleys, Dongfang Sheng frowned and lowered the curtain, raised his hand and waved it gently, and glanced at the Qing guard who held a strong bow on the opposite side, "Don't act rashly, the thieves are still coiled around, and when they gather in one place to attack the leader's mansion, they will be able to catch them all." β
The strong bow in the hand of the Qing guard was lowered again.
The ox cart drove smoothly, the streets outside sometimes heard the sound of pedestrians talking, the light under the eaves shone in through the curtains, and went far ahead under the lanterns, in the lanes, where there was no lantern light, the surroundings turned into silence, and occasionally the sound of a slight collision of gold and iron disappeared quickly, and a pair of sharp eyes looked at the ox cart hidden in the darkness from the darkness, and then retracted.
"It was Dongfang Sheng's vehicle just now, and the direction was to go to Gongsun Zhifu." Bai Huan's voice sounded in the alleyway, "How many brothers are here now?" β
"There were two hundred of them...... It's not here yet. β
Originally, he was still thinking that if he robbed Gongsun Zhi's woman, Dongfang Sheng in this city was still a tricky character, even if this scholar was physically disabled, he would not be confused in doing things, and he was still a little worried about whether he could really get out of the city at that time, but now the other party actually went to Gongsun Mansion, and just captured the two of them together in one fell swoop.
"The hour is almost up, don't wait if you don't arrive, you will naturally move closer to us when you hear the sound of fighting." In the darkness, he gave a deep command, and then turned around and ran from the other end of the alley, someone made a strange cry, and in the rest of the intersecting alleys around, the figures hiding in the houses, firewood, and debris under the eaves rushed out one by one, leaving behind the corpses of some people who died in vain.
Stomp ......
Stepping through the damp and dirty road, the figures of more than a thousand people walked under the eaves, turned two streets, and ran wildly towards the solemn mansion on the other street, and walked for more than ten feet, Bai Huan, the leader of the crowd, suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and frowned.
"There's a problem!"
As the words fell, the light of the torches lit up from the roofs of the surrounding houses, and on the eaves and in the shadows were human figures, holding bows and aiming downwards, martial law was raised, and an ox cart slowly came over and stopped at the entrance of the street and alley in front, and the curtain was lifted up to reveal a pale young man with white temples and a pale face.
ββ¦β¦ There is a problem, put down all your weapons, you can't go. β
Bai Huan looked around, gritted his teeth and roared: "Brothers, when the matter comes, surrender will also die, Gongsun Mansion is not far away, let's rush over in one go!" Killβ"
In the long alley, in a moment, all kinds of voices responded violently, like a tide crashing on a reef, exploding in the night sky: "-Kill!!"
Dongfang Sheng was stunned, he obviously underestimated that the surrounded Black Mountain thieves still had courage, and nodded at the Qing guard opposite with a frown: "Go and help, stop these them!" β
The door of the carriage opened, and when the guard named Qingji jumped out of the ox cart, the sound of fighting like an angry tide had already been heard, and arrows were shot from the hands of people downward, instantly taking away the lives of a large number of people who were running and shouting.
The light of the knife slashed through the person's neck, and Bai Huan held a large knife and shouted: "Don't stop! Break through them! β
A black shadow swished past the line of sight, and with a pop, blood splattered. Someone nearby fell with a short spear stuck in his chest, and a black mountain thief next to him shouted: "Bitter death!" Bitter to death! β
"Leave him alone, let's kill him, uh-" Bai Huanmeng slashed with a big knife, and a golden sound exploded, and sparks lit up in the field of vision, clanging...... A short spear fell to the ground and rolled, in front, in front of the ox cart, Qing Ji, who had four short spears on his back, was walking around, and when he saw that the spear was cut off, he drew his backhand again and grabbed it in his hand.
"Ahh
Bai Huan dragged the big knife and roared, holding a corpse in front of him and running wildly, the figure behind him was not in love with the battle group, and then launched a charge, over there, the black shadow flew to this side again, the corpse shook a poof, and was thrown out with a short spear, and Bai Huan stepped forward to swing the knife and chop down.
"Dieβ"
Qing Ji kicked and flew the corpse, hurriedly dodged the chopping blade, and pulled out the backhand, the short spear blocked in front of him, and the blade slashed on it with a sound to cut people out, rolling on the ground, and when he got up, the surrounding county soldiers and errand soldiers pounced on it, and hundreds of black mountain thieves over there also followed. "The wheels of the ox cart cracked, the sawdust splashed, the wheels collapsed, and the whole wagon tilted down.
"Kill it!" The fierce voice rose again, Bai bypassed the intercepted figure, stepped on the corpse and rushed towards the gate of the mansion only a few feet away, the black mountain thieves who fought and shouted left a hundred or so people to entangle the surging crowd, and the rest followed the leader to kill the front.
Over there, the Qing guards hurriedly rummaged through the scholars in the ox cart, and the other party crawled out of it halfway up and waved his hand, Wenxiu's face was hideous, and he roared: "Go and stop them, you can't let these thieves disturb Madame-"
Originally, he used the mansion as a bait to lure the Black Mountain thieves into it, and came to a drama of inviting the king into the urn, but he didn't expect Cai Yan to be stubborn and not leave, so he had to set up an ambush outside the mansion with more than 3,000 soldiers, and he was worried that there would be a connection outside the city, so the city wall and city gate also sent additional manpower, and the officials of the government were also dispatched to catch the thieves.
Right now, to his surprise, these thieves actually came up with a bloody battle.
The scholar climbed out of the car, picked up a knife from the ground, and rushed over quickly, but he didn't take a few steps before he slipped to the ground with slippery blood, and then was helped up, and the front line of chaos and fighting there had moved to the gate of the mansion only a few dozen steps.
Running wildly, several figures jumped up and kicked through the door.
The black mountain thieves tens of meters in front were the first to rush in, and then ...... The whole person was stunned for a moment, the fire was bright inside, and there were figures standing everywhere under the eaves, except for the county sergeants, and two hundred women in armor and bows. Bai Huan dragged the big knife across the threshold and came in, shouting: "What are you still doing in a daze......" and he heard the swishing sound flying through the dense air, and an arrow was suddenly inserted into the door panel on the side of his face, and the feathers trembled.
Dozens of people in front screamed and fell backwards, Bai Huan looked up with wide eyes, under the eaves of the opposite compound, a big chair was placed on the stone steps, holding her hair in a bun, and a woman in a Yunxiu dress was sitting there with a Han sword, and dozens of fierce women with big shoulders and round waists were lined up with knives in the back, and the momentum was majestic.
"Bai Huan, put down your weapon, you dare to make a messβ" The eyebrows were upside down, but his eyes were calmly looking at the past.
