Chapter Seventy-Four: Caught Missing
Dong Wan was scolded by Wang Yue in front of him as a wolf-like dog, and he was ashamed and angry for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"You are really a good brother of Zhang Wang, and you only speak for him in everything. Why do you think our brother is here and now? Zhang Wangming knew that Sikong Mansion would send someone to arrest us, but when the matter came, he hid and allowed my brother to be arrested. If he had not treacherously been the first to be treacherous, how could our brother be ungrateful? ”
Wang Yue looked at him with a mocking expression: "Zhang Wangruo is really ungrateful, why are you not dead, and you can still stand here and talk to me well?" ”
Dong Wan sneered, and pointed at Cao Cao, who was avoiding in the distance: "That's because Brother Meng Dexian begged his father, Dahong Lu Cao Song, and went to the West Garden to ask His Majesty for grace." If it weren't for that, you would only be able to see the bodies of my two brothers. ”
Wang Yue saw that he was completely blinded, and looked up to the sky with grief and laughter: "When you are in great trouble, when you kill people and set fires, you think no one will see it? At that time, I responded to Zhang Wang's request and was protecting you in the shadows. When you were tied up in Sikong Mansion and were about to be exterminated, you thought that it was Da Honglu who entered the palace to intercede for you, and you escaped to death? I went one step ahead of him to offer the method of prolonging life, and I was dismissed by His Majesty, and I have begged forgiveness for you. Yesterday it was you who kept saying that you were ungrateful to you, and today it is you who have abandoned him and accused him of being useless, and your shameless face really annoys me. ”
After Wang Yue finished speaking, he spat on the ground fiercely, turned around and left.
When Dong Wan and Dong Zhao heard the truth of the matter, they looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
Dong Wan's face changed for a moment, and he said to Dong Zhao: "Brother, will Zhang Forget go around to publicize this matter and ruin my brother's reputation?" ”
Dong Zhao saw that his younger brother was not thinking about how to make up for his mistakes at this time, but living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and his heart was a little cold.
"You and I are now panicking like lost dogs, where is there any honor to speak of?"
Dong Wan gritted his teeth and said: "The matter has come to this, even if you and I go back, we will not have to reuse it again." It's better to make a mistake and vote for Cao Cao. Chen Liucao's family is a famous family, and Cao Cao is even more eloquent. We follow Cao Cao, which is much stronger than following Zhang Wang, who has a shallow foundation. ”
Cao Cao saw that Wang Yue was walking farther, and stepped forward with a smile: "The weather is hot, and it is not too late for the two virtuous brothers to go back if they have something to say." I ordered someone to prepare a good banquet for the two virtuous brothers. ”
Dong Wan hurriedly shook his hands and thanked Cao Cao for his hospitality, Dong Zhao saw that the matter was irreparable, sighed, and followed Cao Cao with his younger brother Dong Wan.
Zhang Forget and Douzi, with Wang Rao and Ma Bao as guards, followed the wine book guy to Guocheng outside Luoyang.
The inner city was a gathering place for dignitaries and nobles, and the common people lived in the outer Guocheng, in other words, the nobles lived in the urban area and the people lived in the suburbs.
When passing by the city gate, a lean soldier guarding the gate also greeted Douzi, which shows that Douzi's iced tea was not given in vain.
Hearing Douzi say that he was going to find his parents, the soldier took a closer look at the guy and made sure that it was a guy from the wine shop, so he congratulated Douzi.
Zhang Wang, who had a little doubt about the identity of his partner, was completely relieved after this incident.
Luoyang is the imperial capital, with a population of nearly one million, but after leaving the inner city, it still looks dilapidated and desolate everywhere.
Except for the manors of some wealthy families, most of the ordinary people live in low and simple thatched houses.
The gap between the rich and the poor is wide, and wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few interest groups, a situation that has not improved even after 1,800 years.
The man walked with the four men for half an hour and came to a large manor.
Zhang Wang, who came from an era that opened the mode of mutual harm, was extremely vigilant, and stopped suspiciously when he saw this: "Isn't Douzi's father poor and already lying in bed waiting to die?" Why do you want to live in such a luxurious estate? ”
The man said unhurriedly: "This is my master's manor, my master has mercy and can't bear to see him sick and dead on the bed, so he sent someone to take him over, and asked Lang Zhong to see a doctor for him." ”
Zhang Forget pondered for a moment and said to Douzi: "You and Wang Rao stay here, I'll go over and have a look first." ”
Although Douzi was anxious, he also knew that Zhang Wang's move was for her safety, so he nodded obediently.
Zhang Wang stepped forward with his horse wrapped around and motioned for his men to continue leading the way.
The man had no objection to his arrangement, and led the two of them to the gate of the manor.
The manor was built like a fortress, with a deer barricade at the door, which was made of trees and was a antler-like barrier.
The man shouted at the door, and a few people ran out of the deer, laboriously removing the antlers.
Before Zhang Wang could react, Ma Bao suddenly pulled his arm and shouted: "It's not good, there is an ambush!" ”
Zhang Forget was pulled by her and stumbled, completely unaware of what was going on.
Ma Bao said while pulling him to run: "You and I enter the door, there is no need to move the deer at all." There is only one circumstance in which the deer will be removed, and that is to let the horses and ox carts out. ”
Before the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and more than a dozen people wrapped in cowhide armor, armed with halberds and bows and arrows, rushed out from behind the deer.
The man who led the way stood beside the deer and looked at Zhang Wang's eyes as if he were looking at a lamb to the slaughter.
Seeing this, Zhang Forget suddenly realized, no wonder they were not worried that the four of them were divided into two ways, it turned out that they had already prepared. A two-legged one, on a flat road, no matter how it is, it is impossible to run through a four-legged one.
Wang Rao, who was in the distance, obviously realized this problem, and pushed the beans away and said, "I'll resist for a while, you go and move the rescuers quickly." ”
Douzi glanced at Zhang Forget anxiously, and hesitated for a while, Wang Rao picked her up and threw her away: "Go quickly, don't miss everyone's lives." ”
Douzi stomped his foot hatefully, glanced in the direction of Zhang Wang's direction with tears in his eyes, and turned around and ran in the direction of Luoyang City.
And at that moment, on the way to their arrival, a dozen men in leather armor and halberds with long fingers sprang out from behind the bushes by the roadside, and with smirks on their faces, they gathered around the beans step by step.
Bean's forward steps came to an abrupt halt, and he turned around and ran towards the woods and shrubs beside the road, his calves fluttering upside down.
Seeing this, more than a dozen people chased after him, but found that no beans could run fast anyway, and they were immediately annoyed and angry.
"This person doesn't need to be left alive." A man stopped in annoyance, drew his bow and arrow, and shot at the bean's back.
There was a scream in the distance, and the beans suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
The crowd was overjoyed and hurriedly gathered around the past. When I got closer, I found that there was no body, and I didn't know where the arrows were.
Beanzi crumbled the arrow in his hand and crawled quickly through the bushes, and when he saw that he was out of sight, he rolled over and rolled into a low-lying ditch.
She held her breath and stared, trying not to make a sound at all, and her thin and pale little face was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Everyone didn't know where the beans were hidden, so they looked around and cursed in their mouths.
More than a dozen cavalrymen were condescending, holding halberds, poking and splitting, and surrounded Zhang Wang's three people to death.
Zhang Forget saw that Ma Bao and Wang Rao were restrained with long swords, only the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly. The bravery of an individual is really not enough in front of a well-trained elite soldier.
He thought like this, but he actually misunderstood Ma Bao and Wang Rao. The two of them had to protect him, so they could only be beaten passively. If he hadn't dragged him down, although he couldn't take the head of the Qiang chief among thousands of troops and horses like Wang Yue and return, he could still do something as simple as fighting for a wounded horse and escaping.
Zhang Forget saw that the enemy was carrying bows and arrows, but he didn't use them at all, and knew that the other party must be trying to catch him alive, so he said to Ma Bao and Wang Rao: "You are protecting me like this, it is meaningless, without reinforcements, even if we are not killed, we will be exhausted to death." The enemy's target is me, and if only one of you escapes, we'll have a chance to survive. Otherwise, you will surely die. ”
Wang Rao nodded, wrapped his face around the horse and said: "Even if we kill it, we can't outrun four legs on two legs, senior brother, your light skills are good, you rush back to report the news." ”
As he spoke, his eyebrows were raised, and a sword danced impermeably, breaking through in the direction of Luoyang without fear of death.
Ma Bao agreed, followed Wang Rao and a lazy donkey rolled and got into the belly of a war horse.
The knight raised his halberd and stabbed down, but instead of stabbing the horse, he grabbed the halberd and threw it off his horse.
Ma Bao roared angrily, got out from under the horse's belly, turned over on the horse's back, and was about to save Zhang Wang, but found that after Zhang Wang lost the two master guards, he had already been put on his neck by two halberds, and he didn't dare to move again.
After Wang Rao gave up her life to open the way for him, she turned around and wanted to save Zhang Wang, but she was also put on her body with four or five halberds.
In desperation, the horse fled on horseback.
When a dozen thieves who were searching for beans saw that he was about to run, they abandoned the beans in a panic and stepped forward to stop him.
A dozen horses chased after him from behind, once again blocking his retreat.
Ma Bao originally wanted to take the road and escape, but when he saw the figure of Beanzi running away from a distance, he changed his mind and fought with everyone with his halberd.
For a while, the sound of people shouting horses neighing and swords striking each other was endless.
Dozens of people couldn't help him for a short time, and they took off the bows and arrows on their backs.
Zhang Wangzhi saw it from afar and shouted: "Wang Yue, the first sword master in the capital, also dares to kill, are you impatient?" If you kill him, you will escape to the palace, and you will not be able to escape the pursuit and killing of the great swordsman Wang Yue. ”
Dozens of thieves were a little apprehensive when they heard this, and Ma Shu saw that he could not miss the opportunity, and stabbed a thief in front of him with a halberd, and fled on horseback.
A thief drew his bow and shot an arrow into the belly of the horse. The horse screamed, fell to his knees, and threw the horse down.
And they came to him, and they trapped him, and tied him with ropes.
Zhang forgot to see that the general trend was gone, and sighed quietly, and could only hope that Douzi would escape, and found people to rescue them.
