Chapter 271: Song Pei's daughter
On the official road far from the end gate, a convoy slowly came. The carriage headed by two horses is luxuriously decorated, and it is not ordinary at first glance. The carriage was surrounded by horsemen sitting on horseback and holding swords and moving slowly. Everyone's eyes were blazing. It also looks quite elite.
A snow-white soft-fledged garnier gently lifted the curtain and rested on the window. Seeing this, the captain of the guard on the side immediately stepped forward, bowed down and said respectfully to the people in the carriage: "I don't know what the little lady commands?" ”
A soft female voice sounded in the car window: "Have you arrived at Guzang?" ”
Seeing this, the captain of the guard on the horse bowed his head respectfully and hugged his fists and said, "It has reached ten miles outside Guzang City." Little lady, please wait a while, and you can enter the city from the end gate. ”
The snow-white soft wattle at the window was lowered, and the curtain returned to its original position. Cover everything in the carriage tightly. The captain of the guard let out a sigh of relief, and was about to turn to leave, but he heard the girl's voice from the carriage behind him: "Who is the guard of the gate now?" ”
When the captain of the guard heard this, he immediately turned his horse's head to face the carriage. Although the curtain on the car window was never lifted again, he still bowed respectfully and hugged his fists and said: "The villain has sent someone to investigate, and now the guard of the gate is Sima Li Yanzhi of Lingju County......
The captain of the guard walked slowly outside the carriage for a few more moments, but no sound was heard from inside the carriage. He retracted his mind and continued to ride his horse to escort the chariot with his subordinates, and slowly walked towards Guzang City in the distance.
A mile away, the end door is clearly visible. The plain clothes worn by the guards above and below the city were even more eye-catching in the eyes of the group driving the escort car. However, the captain of the guard looked closely, and although it was daylight, the gates of the city, which should have been open in the past, were now tightly closed. In front of the city gate, there were horses that were rejected, and a row of generals stood in armor and swords. All of them are burly and majestic, and the light of the sword reflects their angular faces, which is quite a sense of forest.
The car drove to the city gate, and a general came out from behind the horse, but it was Zhou Xing. He handed the knife to the soldier beside him to hold, and then walked to the front of the car, arched his hand and said politely: "Let the king have an order, from noon on the day of Gengyin, the end door will be closed." No one is allowed to enter and exit from the end door, and please make it convenient for you to take a detour to Xinle Gate and Jiugong Gate......"
Before Zhou Xing's words fell, among the car escorts on the opposite side, there was already a captain, and the halberd pointed at Zhou Xing and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous!" In the car, she is the daughter of the old Xiping Taishou and the forward superintendent. How dare you stop it? ”
Zhou Xing saw that as soon as the visitor arrived, he took the lead and reprimanded people, and he was also very unhappy in his heart. However, he still forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "If you have an order, we dare not disobey it." I also hope that Your Excellency will follow the instructions of the envoy and make a detour through the ......"
The captain of the guard had already slowed a few steps to Zhou Xing's side, he looked at Zhou Xing's helmet, and suddenly said lightly: "This door, are you opening or not opening?" ”
Zhou Xing bowed his head and bowed his head: "Without the edict of the envoy, not a soldier or a pawn can pass by!" ”
When the captain of the guard heard this, he was a little furious, and the whip fell on Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing was caught off guard, and he was hit firmly on the shoulder. He looked up in shock, only to see the mocking look in the other's eyes.
"Therefore, Taishou is the first prince and vassal. Now the daughter of the late Taishou has traveled thousands of miles from Xiping to pay tribute to the ancestors, how can there be any reason to be blocked out of the door! ”
Zhou Xing raised his head and stared angrily at the captain of the guard in front of him. The other party seemed to ignore his anger at all, and arrogantly rode around the gate, pointing at the city gate with his whip as he went, and said, "Open the door!" ”
For a while, the arrogance of the guards behind the captain reached its peak, and they shouted: "Open the door!" Open the door! ”
The curtain of the car was lifted in a corner, and the driver of the car was staring at the scene outside with interest. Zhou Xing was in front of the city gate he was guarding, and many of his subordinates were humiliated under their noses, so he was willing to give up. He jumped away with an arrow, and then with a stretch of his right hand, he grabbed the reins of the horse opposite.
When the captain of the guard saw that Zhou Xing actually grabbed the reins of his horse and dragged it to death, he was even more angry at first, and in a hurry, a whip was drawn towards Zhou Xing's right hand holding the reins of the horse. Zhou Xing didn't have time to let go, although his right hand was firmly whipped, he still held the reins of the horse very stubbornly, and did not let the man go away. So after a short silence, there was another crackling sound in the air, but it was the captain of the guard who raised his hand and whipped it on Zhou Xing's face.
"Get out of here!" The captain of the guard scolded sharply, but Zhou Xing suddenly exerted his strength, grabbed his horse's reins and pulled them down hard. The horse's chew strangled the horse with pain, and when he jumped up and down with a wild scream, in the blink of an eye, he went mad and dismounted the knight on his back......
The knight fell off his horse suddenly, his mind froze, but his feet fell to the ground, and he was in pain, and even a heart-rending howl sounded.
Seeing that his captain of the guard was thrown off his horse, the guards beside the captain were in a hurry, hurriedly drew their knives, and rushed towards Zhou Xing, who was still standing in place. The bright light of the knife reflected their hideous faces.
Zhou Xing didn't have a weapon in his hand, seeing that the other party was so aggressive, his heart had calmed down from the previous anger, and he looked at the blade that seemed to be in front of him, and his heart trembled suddenly. However, his subordinates were all watching from the surroundings, and Zhou Xing, who took care of his face, was also in a dilemma for a while.
As soon as he rode in front of Zhou Xing, the knight in front raised the ring knife in his hand, and he was about to cut it. It was only at this time that a trace of fear began to appear in Zhou Xing's heart, and he slowly closed his eyes, not daring to face the sword that flashed with cold light.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Zhou Xing heard the knight coming from the horse in front of him scream, and immediately, there was the crisp sound of the sword falling to the ground. The knife in his sight before did not fall for a long time, Zhou Xing was surprised in his heart, and when he opened his eyes, he heard a few faint noises in his ears.
The first thing that caught Zhou Xing's eyes was the guard who raised his knife and wanted to slash at him. His left hand was clenching his right hand, and his right hand was still dripping blood. The ring-headed knife in his hand had long since disappeared, and he saw a feathered arrow stuck in the back of his right hand. The guard no longer cared about showing off his might, but just clutched his hands, and let out a terrible howl in his throat that was not like a human voice.
Zhou Xing was surprised in his heart, but after this short moment of surprise, even greater surprise followed. When the guards who came before were hit by arrows one after another, for a while, the sound of swords falling from their hands and falling to the ground was endless. These people were either shot in the arm or in the shoulder, and for a while they could no longer show off their might like Fang Cai.
Zhou Xing was surprised, but he also understood the source of the arrow. He turned his head to look at the castle tower behind him, but saw Li Yanzhi with his left foot on the battlement, a bow in his left hand, and a feather arrow in his right hand, smiling and groaning on the string, looking with interest at the guards guarding the carriage under the city.
These guards could not see the situation for a few breaths, and the comrades who rushed in front of them were shot one after another, and their hearts were already silent. No one dared to step forward. Li Yanzhi saw that the guards had become more regular, so he put away the bow and arrow in his hand, and then took his cloak and walked towards the city tower with a soldier beside him.
The closed gate opened a small slit. Li Yanzhi led five soldiers through the small crack and came to the outside of the city gate. The sonorous sound of the collision of the armor leaves came from far and near, and it didn't take much effort to come to the guards who were hit by the arrows. Seeing each of them clutching the wounds of the arrows they had been shot by their bows and arrows, they groaned in pain as they struggled to hold themselves on their horses. Li Yanzhi had a sneer on his face with a hint of mockery, and walked in front of the guard.
The captain of the guard gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, and said hatefully, "It's you...... Are you the one who hurts people with a secret arrow? ”
Li Yanzhi patted the bow bag hanging on his belt, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency can't control your own hands, and I won't recognize anyone with this bow!" The gate was sealed by the king's order, and no one was allowed to pass through it from this gate, and for several days all those who were in any position were to pass through the rest of the gates. Why is your Excellency so arrogant that you dare to raise your sword and slash the goalkeeper? ”
The captain of the guard was speechless for a moment, but he still did not intend to give in. He glared at Li Yanzhi and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You...... You're waiting......"
Li Yanzhi sneered: "I don't know, who are you making waiting!" Zhou Xing! ”
Zhou Xing, who was already stunned on the side, heard Li Yanzhi calling him, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My subordinates are here!" ”
"Only catch the first evil, and don't ask the rest!" Li Yanzhi raised his hand and pointed at the captain of the guard: "Take this person down!" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Xing suddenly felt extremely happy in his heart, and immediately waved his hand, and the soldiers around him obeyed the order one after another and gathered around the captain of the guard.
When the guards behind the captain saw this, they were all shocked. Just now, Li Yanzhi released cold arrows on top of the city tower, forcing them not to dare to move forward, no one expected that the situation would develop like this. However, if they watched their captain being captured by the group of soldiers in front of them, no matter where they went, they would not be able to explain. What's more, in the car, she is still the daughter of the late striker supervising Song Pei. If this little lady is frightened and returns to the prison, the nature of the matter is definitely beyond their reach.
I don't know what to do. However, the guards made eye contact with each other and agreed that the guards could not be allowed to escort their captain away. So, under this tacit understanding and consensus, the soldiers hurried their horses forward, and together they drew the blades at their waists, and rushed towards the gatekeepers who had pulled their captain off his horse and tied them up.
When Li Yanzhi saw these murderous guards on the other side, he already understood what they wanted to do. He stretched out his right hand to the side, and his words were already a little clear: "Bring a knife!" "Say it. The soldier next to him had already handed him a long knife with all blades.
Li Yanzhi held the knife in both hands, slowly stretched out his front level, and said loudly: "Since I was in the army, I have experienced more than a dozen battles. The number of enemies killed by hand-slaying is only a lot more than the number of people present! If you want to use force today, you will bear all the consequences! ”
After speaking, Li Yanzhi turned his head to the side and said, "Concentrate!" ”
When the soldiers standing with swords on the side heard this, they immediately stood together in high spirits, and each of them held the long knives in their hands with both hands and pointed forward diagonally. The translucent blade reflects the armor on their bodies, which is full of meaning.
"Ready!" With Li Yanzhi's command, these foot soldiers took a step forward together. Their footsteps landed on the ground in unison, making a loud stomping. Although there were only twenty or thirty people here, the kind of awe-inspiring momentum exuded from them made the guards on the opposite side dare not take it lightly.
The two sides were tense, and although the guards gave up the idea of rushing up to grab the captain immediately, they still refused to give up. At this moment, the curtain of the carriage on the side was lifted, and Li Yanzhi looked fixedly, but it was a young lady who looked to be in her twenties and walked out of the carriage with the support of two maids.
As soon as the little lady's feet landed, she said aloud in the direction of Li Yanzhi: "If you can't, the general said, why bother to make it difficult for people......
Li Yanzhi stood up with the knife, paused on the ground, and bowed slightly to the little lady as a salute. The words were not very polite: "It is a good thing for the little lady to come to Guzang to worship the ancestors." However, when you are out and about, remember to keep an eye on the dogs around you, lest they bite someone and cause trouble for the master's family......"
"You!" The soldiers who were still forcibly holding themselves on horseback on the side heard this, and their expressions were even more angry. However, before he could finish his sentence, the little lady who came out of the carriage had already summoned several guards to step forward, and helped several of their guards, who had been wounded by arrows, to dismount and go to the rear.
"The general has learned a lesson!" The little lady not only did not change color or be angry as Li Yanzhi thought, but continued to laugh and groan: "Since this end door can't be entered, I'll just turn around and pass through the side door." However, the concubine had something she wanted to remind the general, but she didn't know whether to say it or not. ”
Li Yanzhi bowed slightly again, and said, "Little lady, it doesn't hurt to say it, and the last general will listen to it." ”
"Why did the envoy send the general to guard the end gate, and all the intentions of the envoy, is the general really clear in his heart?"
When Li Yanzhi heard this, he suddenly frowned. Looking again, the little lady turned around and drove towards the car with a smile.
"Little lady stays!" Li Yanzhi shouted. When the little lady heard that Li Yanzhi had called her, she turned around again and asked, "What else does the general have to teach her?" ”
"In the ninth year of Jianxing, I accompanied the army to quell the rebellion. In Linqiang County, there is also a relationship with Lingzun. Ling Zun is calm and practiced, which is a rare handsome talent in the state. For Ling Zun, Li also has respect. I don't know if it is another day, can Li go to pay homage to Lingzun? ”
When the little lady heard this, her expression was filled with sadness. She thought for a while, looked up and said, "My father is too guarded in Xiping. If the general really has a heart, he will come to Xiping to worship his father. ”
With that, the little lady turned around and returned to the car. Soon, the carriage was under the control of the coachman, and turned to the side.
"Give this man back!" Li Yanzhi pointed to the captain of the guard who had just been captured, and said lightly to Zhou Xing on the side. Immediately, Zhou Xing ordered two soldiers to step forward, sent the captain who had been captured by them forward, and let the guards take him away.
"Sima?" Zhou Xing looked at Li Yanzhi, who was still in a trance, and quietly said, "I'm waiting to block this little lady's driving, is it ...... Whether ......"
Li Yanzhi turned his head and glanced at Zhou Xing: "What are you afraid of?" If she holds a grudge because of this, she will only look for me, and it has nothing to do with you. Put your heart in your stomach, the sky is falling, and I'm also tall! ”
