Chapter 16 Murder and Goods
Yang Ke and the others stood sideways, letting a group of officials who were in a hurry around them, and after a while, a fat figure walked to the front and rolled the saddle and dismounted, but it was Hei Qi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info stuffy gourd handed over a water bladder, Hei Qi took it and drank a few big sips: "Lao Liu blamed himself for sleeping to death, I didn't know that Gongzi set off early in the morning, and he must rush over to see Gongzi, but I stopped him." According to the son's instructions, I asked Lao Liu to tell the truth about Xie Kun's entry into the room last night when he was interrogated by the official. He also left him a minot, and told him to hide it first, and then take it out and use it when the limelight passed. ”
"I don't want him to send us if I leave early, so as not to cause trouble, in fact, he can use the gold now, and it will be safer for us to use it."
Hei Qi's face was puzzled: "Childe, why is this?" ”
Tang Zhong laughed: "Our road is uneven, and as soon as we give Xie Kun a shot, it will be nine ingots of gold, and it will also be a gold ingot for the shop that I don't know all my life, which shows that we are either rich or expensive, and we are generous, of course we will not retaliate and kill people for a few ingots of gold." ”
Hei Qi suddenly realized and patted his head: "Then I shouldn't be smart enough to let Lao Liu hide the gold, I'll run again." ”
Yang Ke stopped: "No need, let's hurry as soon as possible." After speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, and the group was about to set off, when they were suddenly stunned, and there was a person standing in front of them at some point, blocking the way. Although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, he did not hide his graceful posture, who would it be if he was not Yu'er. She looked at Yang Ke, her face was calm, and her eyes were firm: "Dad knows that you are going to leave early in the morning, let me wait for you here, Dad said that you are all good people, the place you are going to is a place where our people live, I am worried that you are in danger, I am a Hun and can speak Hun dialect, Dad said let me follow Gongzi, I can help you, even if I can't help, I can take care of Gongzi along the way." ”
Yang Ke pondered for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand: "Get in the car and go." ”
Tang Zhongyao pointed out from the stone city: "There is a stone water in the northeast of this county, it is named away from the stone city for some reason, the Eastern Han Dynasty Yonghe five years set up a county here, the county was abolished in the last year of Emperor Ling, the county was restored in the early two years of the Wei and Huang dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, and it is the place where the Xiongnu people live and concentrate, and it is also Liu Yuan's hometown. ”
Yang Ke suddenly thought thoughtfully: "Second uncle, is Liu Yuan still serving in the court at the moment?" ”
"Liu Yuan is serving as a lieutenant in Sima Ying's Mansion in Bingzhou, and he is not more than a hundred miles away."
Yang Ke nodded, trying to search for the memories of his previous life, the Wuhu Chaohua began with Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan's army began with leaving the imperial court, and the troops were separated from the stone, it seems that Liu Yuan has not ended his career as a hostage in the imperial court for the time being, and he has not yet mastered the army. Yang Ke was frowning and pondering, when the stuffy gourd suddenly looked alert: "Childe, there is a shouting of killing in the southeast, and it is coming towards our place. ”
Hei Qi stood up in the carriage, looked at the southeast direction, the smoke and dust were billowing out, and nodded: "Childe, it looks vaguely that there is armor, it seems to be an official army, there are still a lot of people, the situation is unknown, let's quickly enter and leave Shicheng." ”
Yang Ke glanced at the direction of Shicheng and was still far away, there was a forest that was not particularly lush in front of him, extending to the east of Shicheng, at the end of the line of sight, there were faint villages scattered among them, and he glanced at the approaching smoke and dust, and his tone was firm: "It's too late, Lao Qi, unload the carriage, you and the second uncle ride a horse, you and Yu'er ride a horse, listen to my orders, once the situation is not good, let's disperse and rush to the east woods together, the luggage can't be wanted, the speed must be fast, and when you enter the forest, you are not afraid of bows and arrows." Everyone agreed, and they divided into preparations.
The kung fu of the half-pillar incense, the sound of horses' hooves, a group of people getting closer and closer, but the officials and soldiers who were chasing after them were dressed up, there were more than 100 people, Hei Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Childe, it's okay, it's the officials and soldiers who are suppressing the thieves." ”
Tang Zhong's expression suddenly became solemn: "No, it's the official army robbing the merchants." ”
Yang Ke noticed the anomaly almost at the same time: "Let's go north first, then turn east into the woods, and go through the woods to meet the village in front of us. ”
As soon as Hei Qi and the stuffy gourd were reminded, they also found a problem, the person who was being chased and killed did not have a weapon in their hands, and they were obviously not robbers by looking at their clothes, but the two of them saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately followed Yang Ke to beat the horse and gallop wildly, and everyone turned north, avoiding the route of the official army.
In an instant, the officers and soldiers surrounded the fleeing merchants, their swords flashing, the cries of begging for mercy and howls were endless, and blood was splattered everywhere. A burly, bearded officer stared at the direction where Yang Ke and the others were far away and ordered loudly: "Niu, take your brother to catch up with those few people and kill them all." ”
"Yes" a man who was as strong as an ox and had a scar on his face shouted angrily: "Team A will come with me, and no one will be left behind." The crowd agreed, and more than 50 horsemen followed the bull and chased after them.
Yang Ke and others rushed all the way to the north, and then suddenly turned to the east, the sudden change of direction bought them very precious time, the chasing officers and soldiers paused slightly, Yang Ke and others got into the woods, the officers and soldiers arrows were like flying locusts, but they were blocked by the woods and did not hit. The bull whip pointed ahead: "Into the woods." The officers and soldiers also turned their horses and went into the woods.
The trees beside him kept retreating, the branches and leaves hit his face and hurt, Yang Ke said loudly while beating the horse: "Run separately, you go to Zhuangzi first, protect the second uncle and Xiaoyu." After speaking, a straight line was drawn in the oblique thorn and headed northeast, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers closely pursued it. Hei Qi knew that he wanted to lead away some of the pursuers, and he was supposed to stop them, but his mind flashed, he and the horse of the stuffy gourd were with two people, and they couldn't outrun the official army, and the distance from the chasing soldiers would definitely get closer and closer, once they were surrounded by the officers and soldiers on the flat ground, it was very dangerous, and only by entering the village as soon as possible and choosing favorable terrain could they be divided and attacked. Thinking of this, he kept whipping his horse, and galloped towards the east with the stuffy gourd.
Finally got out of the woods, a village appeared in front of me, the village was surrounded by rammed earth walls more than one person high, a few scattered peasants were watching from the roadside outside the village, Hei Qi and the stuffy gourd arrows swept past several people, rushed into the village. The bull raised his sword and fell, and one peasant fell to a pool of blood screaming, and the rest of the cavalry followed with a knife and slashed and slashed, and the remaining peasants were all cut down by the side of the road.
The bull reined the horse, looked at the village in front of him, the village is not big, scattered with dozens of families, at this time the sky is close to dusk, the noise at the entrance of the village alarmed the villagers, there are already people probing the brain, the bull gritted his teeth with red eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't do two endlessly, destroy this Zhuangzi, you can't let go of a live mouth, otherwise, we will have big trouble." Li Wu, you take ten brothers around to the village to block the retreat, Cao Si, you take ten brothers to guard the entrance, monkey, you go to report to General Du, and the others dismount and follow Lao Tzu into the village to kill people and rob things. ”
