Chapter 310: Nobody Likes to Die
The scribe who led the horse that I saw yesterday on the Weihe beach was standing at the bow of the boat. Still dressed in the gray robe, with his hands behind his back, he watched with admiration as the people in the Weihe River turned on their backs. This guy has a smile on his face and seems to be fascinated by this kind of thing. There is no strict distinction between civil and military in the Han Dynasty, and it is normal for the current officials to be generals and ministers to get off the horse, unlike several dynasties in later generations, where the text is the literature and the military is the military, fighting each other, dragging the whole country down in internal friction.
The scribe stood at the bow of the ship much like a general, more like a suave poet.
Guo Xie shouted: "Uncle Yao loves you crazy, do you know what the consequences of the soldiers disturbing the people are on the boats?" ”
This scribe is a native of Anling, surnamed Yao Shuai, and is considered to be the most trusted guest of Princess Guantao. This time, Chen Xu cried and wanted to follow Guo Xie to Shu County, and Yao Shuai was assigned to assist. Since something big happened, Uncle Yao has been hiding and letting Guo Xie try his best to save people. Now that Guo Xie is also on Su Ren's ship, he is naturally the boss of the ship.
Uncle Yao nodded at Guo Jie: "These thieves have held Tangyi Hou Gongzi hostage, and they should have been punished by Ling Chi, but you have endured it everywhere, and the face of the eldest princess's mansion has made you lose everything, if you can't rescue Gongzi today, what face will I have to go back to see the princess and Tangyi?" Rush over, don't let them run! ”
Su Ren looked at Guo Xie like a fool: "Now you understand, right?" People don't take you seriously at all! ”
Guo Xie glared at Su Ren: "Hmph, don't talk about me first, you can't run away, you should be the first to die when you are caught up by others!" ”
There are too many boats, except for the middle waters, which are already crowded on both sides. Su Ren's ship was squeezed to the very edge, and a little further out it would have run aground. Regarding the domineering behavior of Princess Guantao's family, these businessmen and boatmen from Chang'an dared not speak out.
The big ship was in front of him, and Uncle Yao had no intention of stopping the boat, and rushed straight towards Su Ren's ship. The boats that were squeezed over were not in a hurry, and were smashed hard. Su Ren stood on the boat, shaking so badly that if it wasn't for Dong Qian hurriedly holding on, he would have fallen into the water.
Leng Jun asked, "What should I do?" Why don't you go ashore? ”
Su Ren said: "We must not go ashore, this guy is just going to drive us ashore, there must be an ambush on the shore at this time!" ”
The merchants and boatmen who were forced to abandon the ship and go ashore were immediately caught and cut down without asking. The tragedy is tragic in the Yobi River. Leng Jun glanced back, and his heart palpitated.
Su Kai came out of the cabin with Chen Xu in one hand and a sword in the other. He put the sword on Chen Xu's neck and shouted at Yao Shuai on the opposite side: "Stop the boat!" If you don't stop the boat, you will collect his body! ”
Uncle Yao sneered: "Kill!" You won't be able to escape if you kill him, don't worry, I won't let you die too comfortably! ”
Soft and hard do not eat, such a guy is the most difficult to deal with. The big boat got closer and closer, squeezing away the nearby boats, and also squeezed Su Ren's boat to the shore and ran aground. Fortunately, the water is shallow, and the boat can't get too close, but it's still within the range of other people's bows and crossbows. The deck of the building ship was full of people, all armed with bows and crossbows, and the bright tips of arrows were facing Su Ren and them.
Uncle Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Su, listen to my advice, let my son-in-law go, and ensure that you die comfortably?" This is the biggest concession I can promise you, Tangyi has two sons, one dies and one more, and the incense will not be broken. ”
Chen Xu was originally very happy to finally meet the savior. Who expected Uncle Yao to say such a thing, Chen Xu immediately scolded: "Uncle Yao, you bastard, you want to kill me together, what benefits did Chen Yi give you, help him like this?" ”
Yao Shuai ignored Chen Xu, still looking at Su Ren: "How is it?" Mr. Su's reputation in Shu County is very famous, you should be able to estimate the severity, you don't have much time to think about it, if you don't agree after a quarter of an hour, then don't blame me for releasing the arrow! ”
Su Ren shook his head and sighed, suddenly pulled out his saber and stabbed it into Chen Xu's left leg.
"Ah......h A terrible scream made the noisy Weihe River instantly quiet. All eyes were on Su Ren's cargo ship. Even the guys who were still floating in the river weren't shouting.
Uncle Yao frowned. Su Ren smiled: "How is it?" Do you want me to think again? ”
"Uncle Yao loves to save me!" Chen Xu roared madly, and he couldn't care about the pain anymore: "As long as you save me, I will definitely be rewarded when I become a cousin!" ”
Uncle Yao didn't speak, and Su Ren's second sword stabbed out again. Chen Xu's right leg was hit again, and blood flowed down both legs, staining his middle coat red and then his robe. There was a big dripping puddle on the boat. Su Ren looked at Uncle Yao, and the two of them looked at each other like this, and no one said a word. The whole Weishui was quiet, only the cries of Chen Xu.
The boat finally stopped, a stone's throw away from Su Ren's ship. The ships that were forced to squeeze over hurriedly slipped away, down or up, and no one wanted to stay within the reach of the arrows.
Uncle Yao sighed and arched his hand at Su Ren: "Sure enough, it is a hero in Shuzhong, and he has seen it in the next, give way!" ”
The huge waves crashed on the riverbank, and Chen Xu's two legs were simply bandaged, and the whole person lay on the deck in prostration, gasping for air. Guo Xie threw himself down beside Chen Xu, constantly speaking of relief, Chen Xu frowned, silent, and his face was expressionless.
Along the river, Su Ren's boat slowly descended. The boat was still behind him, not far away. Everywhere they passed, all the people saluted, and many began to ask who the boy in the boat was. actually offended Princess Guantao's Mansion like this, it seems that he thinks his life is long.
Chang'an City is in sight, with huge city walls and wide moats complementing each other. A large amount of glutinous rice is added to the wall made of loess, and it looks like a white city from afar. Villages outside the city were one after another, and the busy people would only take a look at the boats coming from the Wei River when they straightened up and rested. This is the center of the Han Dynasty, the most prosperous and majestic city in the world.
The Wei River flows north of Chang'an, and three bridges are erected over the Wei River, connecting Xianyang and Chang'an, so that the emperor can go to the palace of the former Qin to rest. Zhongwei Bridge is the most majestic and widest of the three bridges, and it is also where the official road in the north of Chang'an City is located. Under the Zhongwei Bridge, you can see the horizontal gate in the distance, and only when you enter the horizontal gate can you be regarded as the real Chang'an. Su Ren and others went ashore, and Uncle Yao loved to bring people ashore as well. There were even many soldiers on the shore who surrounded Su Ren and others with weapons in their hands, and they vowed not to give up until they reached their goal.
Uncle Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Su, Chang'an has arrived, can you release my son-in-law?" ”
Su Ren shook his head.
Uncle Yao laughed: "I know that you won't let it go, say it, what else do you want, I will meet you at the same time, do you want these soldiers to retreat or go into the city?" Either way, I'll satisfy you! ”
"It's a good feeling!" Su Ren looked around: "There should be no less than two hundred soldiers here, right?" According to the law of the Han Dynasty, it is a rebellion to transfer more than 50 troops without permission, and Princess Guantao will be killed by you this time! ”
"No, no, these soldiers are acting on orders, we are by no means transferring troops privately, Mr. Su still don't worry about me, think about how you will deal with yourself in Chang'an in the future."
"Oh? Ordered? On whose orders? ”
"To tell you the truth, it is the will of the Empress Dowager herself, who hijacked the prince of Tangyi and intended to kill people, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, he should be punished with Ling Chi and exterminate his clan, and all those related to Mr. Su are among them, I said it clearly enough, right?"
Su Ren nodded: "It seems that I am really going to die this time?" ”
"I'm afraid so! Don't think that everything will be fine when you come to Chang'an! Uncle Yao smiled: "How good it was to listen to me at the beginning, so as not to suffer such a tragic death." ”
"Hahaha......" Su Ren looked up to the sky and laughed, stopped laughing, and asked a question that made everyone feel inexplicable: "Mr. Yao, do you believe in heavenly punishment?" ”
Uncle Yao was stunned.
"Boom! Boom Boom! A loud noise was inside and outside the Hengmen, and the people who watched the excitement or the people passing by avoided it. The dust obscured everyone's view. The force of the impact caused the soldiers who were close to the gate to fall first. Su Ren pinned Dong Qian and Leng Yue under him, and a hurricane with the smell of sulfur blew over their heads, and people flew everywhere like pieces of paper.
Uncle Yao slammed into a big tree so hard that his waist was about to break. I finally got up from the ground and looked ahead. The tall gate was gone, and a huge gap appeared in the wall. Inside and outside the city, there were people lying down, shouting one by one. Many of those who were killed did not even have their bodies left, they were buried in a rubble.
Su Ren shook off the dust on his body, got up from the ground, moved his body, pulled Dong Qian and Leng Yue up, and asked loudly, "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine!" Hawking was the first to respond.
"I'm fine!"
"Someone passed out!"
Thankfully, all but a few minor injuries were unharmed.
Uncle Yao looked at Su Ren lovingly: "You dare to destroy Chang'an City?" ”
Su Ren smiled: "What do you mean by destroying me, it's that God can't get used to you guys who do evil, otherwise why wouldn't any of my people die?" And yours are dead and wounded, and so many people are affected! This is called heavenly punishment! ”
"Misceiving the crowd! Take it for me! ”
"Who dare!" Su Ren held the sword in his hand, and reflexively chopped off one of Chen Xu's arms: "One step further, so that you all die without a place to be buried!" ”
Soldiers are also human beings, and they are afraid of death. The battlefield is different from the atmosphere here, the battlefield is a fight with people, and now this situation is beyond their comprehension. No one wants to die unexplained. No matter how Yao Shuai urged, no one dared to get close to Su Ren and the others.
Throwing down Chen Xu, who was lying on the ground screaming, Su Ren arched his hand to Uncle Yao: "Mr. Yao, today's contest is over, if you have any advice, you will definitely accompany you and say goodbye!" ”
"Boom!" There was another loud bang, and the Dongwei Bridge split in the middle, and the flying wooden flowers smashed on the water like raindrops. Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Su Ren, not respect but fear, the kind of fear that came out of their bones.
