In the sound of heavy footsteps, several dark shadows emerged from the darkness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Woooooo
When the two black shadows in the middle saw the torches, they immediately struggled.
"Be honest! Otherwise, you will be left to go down to the river to feed the fish! ”
Since the opening of the Grand Canal, it is not known how many people have died inside. One or two corpses sank, and I am afraid that no one would care.
Fang Xing leaned against the trunk of the tree, looked at the two men who wrapped their hair with cloth towels, and said lightly: "Since you're here, don't think about getting out, let's say, who are you?" Where are you going to start? ”
Xin Laoqi took away the cloth from a man's mouth and warned: "Don't do stupid things, no one will hear you even if you shout through your throat here." ”
A housekeeper was leading two captured horses over, and when he heard this, he burst out laughing, and then quickly covered his mouth and pulled the horses to the centralized management.
Harvested two horses first, which made Fang Xing's mood very good, and he didn't care about the awkwardness in Xin Laoqi's words just now.
"Ho-ho-ho!"
The man knelt on the ground, and after gasping, he raised his head and said: "Since it has fallen into your hands, if you have the means, let's go on it, at most a few days, we will meet together in the Netherworld!" ”
Fang Xing said with some interest: "Since you don't want to say it, Lao Qi, hand it over to Jia Quan and them, you can watch from the side, and also learn the methods of other people's Jinyi Guard." ”
"Jin Yiwei?"
The man was shocked and struggled and said, "Aren't you just a rich man in the countryside?" Where did the brocade guard come from? ”
Xin Laoqi sneered: "My young master is a Wenqu star, what's so great about Jinyiwei!" ”
"Ahem!"
Jia Quan couldn't listen to it anymore, and after coughing dryly, he came out from the front, glanced at Xin Laoqi, and then looked at the two captives as if admiring a work of art and said: "I haven't started it for a long time, this craft can't be said to be a little rusty, but now I have the opportunity to practice." ”
The two thieves looked at the two brocade guards who came in stunned, in the darkness, the evil aura seemed to be demons and monsters, and it was like a demon under the ground who had come out, smiling and preparing to enjoy blood food.
Two of Jia Quan's subordinates took out some strange tools from their bags, Fang Xing shook his head, left the gang of people, and went to the river.
The Grand Canal flows quietly, silently communicating the north and south of China.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Fang Xing didn't look back, and then he heard Ma Su say, "Teacher, why do these thieves want to attack us? ”
Fang Xing turned around, looked at Ma Su, who was shivering from the cold, and said, "This is not something you need to know at the moment, hurry up and go back to sleep." ”
Ma Su looked at him fixedly, "Teacher, it's because of ...... His Royal Highness? ”
Fang Xing didn't answer, he acquiesced to this answer.
The battles for succession have always been very tragic, among which the Xuanwumen Revolution in the Tang Dynasty was the most bloody and direct.
However, judging from the current situation, the opponent probably only regarded Fang Xing as a small role. Otherwise, the last time he passed the government in Shuntian Mansion, Fang Xing would probably suffer.
"Ahh
There was a suppressed howl from the grove, Fang Xing frowned and drove Ma Su away, quietly waiting for the result.
It didn't take long for Jia Quan, who still smelled of blood on his body, to come.
"Fang Gongzi, it's a gang of horse bandits, they received a commission three days ago, and the target is ......"
"I'm the target."
Fang Xing turned around, rubbed his frozen face and asked, "How many people are on the other side?" How is the equipment? ”
"The other party is on the way out of the Gunzhou Mansion, and there are about sixty people, all of whom have horses."
Seeing that Fang Xing was still very calm, Jia Quan hurriedly said: "Master Fang, let's take the water route, and then take the land route to Yangzhou Mansion." ”
Along this Grand Canal, you can go straight to Yangzhou Mansion, and even go directly to the capital Yingtianfu.
Fang Xing shook his head and said: "No, I'm worried that the other party will do things on the waterway, and at that time, we will call the heavens and the earth to be spiritual!" ”
"But ......"
Jia Quan said a little eagerly: "But the other party has horses, once they hit on the plain, our more than ten people are really not enough to slaughter!" ”
The cavalry charge can crush the defense with momentum alone.
And Fangjiazhuang's family, plus Jia Quan's three people, this person is really not enough for a round of impact.
Fang Xing shook his head, took a deep breath, and said confidently: "I have confidence in the family!" ”
"Hey!"
Seeing that Fang Xing didn't listen to persuasion, but went to sleep in the tent, Jia Quanyi stomped his feet and said angrily: "Isn't this an egg hitting a stone!" ”
Ten family members, plus Xin Laoqi and Jia Quan, are only fourteen people, which is really as fragile as a chicken and a dog in front of those bandits who have accumulated for years.
After a good night's sleep, the convoy continued to set off, and Fang Xing took over the command and arranged the front and rear scouts.
Jia Quan and the three of them had not slept all night, and they were all worried that they would encounter horse bandits in front of them.
The convoy did not stop in Jinan Mansion, but only bought some supplies, and then hurried on the road again.
……
The capital arrived, and the convoy camped outside a small town.
"Young Master Fang, according to that person, they will do it after the Gunzhou Mansion."
Jia Quan came to persuade Fang to wake up again with a dark circle under his eyes.
Fang Xing invited him to sit down, and then introduced: "I have seen the map, there are very few mountains between here and Xuzhou, and the so-called surprise attack is just an extravagant hope. ”
Jia Quan looked at the map, forgot the purpose of his visit, and hesitated: "Then what do you mean......
In Jia Quan's heart-wrenching eyes, Fang Xing slammed his fist on the map.
"The disappearance of the enemy's scouts will inevitably take into account that our strength is not weak, then they will definitely choose to attack the ...... directly with a horse team in a wide no-man's land"
Jia Quan's eyes lit up, "There is a guard over there, as long as we can block the first wave of impact, then the enemy will have to retreat!" ”
"But we can't stop it!"
"We can block it! And...... I don't just want to stop them. ”
Jia Quan lowered his head and sighed, he had seen the impact of the horse team, not to mention resistance, the impact alone could make people feel terrified.
It's a big deal, let's die together!
After the Gunzhou Mansion, the scenery of the plains is dull, and the farmers are all napping in the car and drowsy.
"When will they come?"
Jia Quan has been struggling with this problem all day.
"I'm most worried that those bandits will come before dark!"
Before dark, everyone was tired, and all they wanted to think about was setting up camp and building a fire to cook.
At this time, the vigilance of the team is the lowest, and the ability to resist is also the weakest.
Fang Xing's carriage was newly built, but along the way, it looked dusty on the outside.
Xin Laoqi rode over and said to Fang Xing, who was sitting on the wheel, "Young Master, the scouts in front have already discovered the traces of the horse bandits. ”
Fang Xing looked at the time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, so he took a deep breath, turned back to the car and said, "Shuhui, you stay in the car, don't panic when you hear any movement." Remember, don't come out. ”
Immediately, two mantis poked out of the car, their faces full of worry.
"It's not in the way, it's just a few little thieves."
Fang Xing jumped out of the carriage, got on the big white horse, and after shouting, went to the back.
