Chapter 11: Surprise from the Sky
Gu Tianying stood on the carriage with a gun, watching the Praetorian Guards behind him bending their bows and arrows and aiming at him, and complained bitterly, never thinking that he would be pierced by ten thousand arrows when he first came. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Shoot the arrows!" Wang Mao, who was among the many Praetorian Guards, ordered loudly, the night was long and dreamy, and he didn't want to wait for a moment.
Just as the Praetorian Guards were about to release their arrows, Gu Tianying suddenly saw a little black light appear in the air, shooting straight from the rear of the Praetorian Guard. Before everyone could react, they saw nearly a hundred eagle arrows flying down like lightning. However, the target of these sharp arrows was not Gu Tianying, but the Praetorian Guards who were pursuing them. With the sharp sound of sharp arrows piercing the sky, the Praetorian Guards who followed the carriage with bows and arrows fell off their horses one after another.
Everyone was stunned, and Gu Tianying was also slightly surprised. "Did the Praetorian Guard shoot his own people?"
"Who put the arrow?!" Wang Mao asked angrily, turning to look back, his expression changed. I saw that there were nearly 100 big men chasing after the Praetorian Guards, all of whom were covered with black scarves, and they were tall and murderous. Wang Mao led the Praetorian Guards to pursue Gu Tianying, and did not pay attention to the rear at all, and at this time, when he turned his head and looked again, one hundred and ten masked men had already arrived in front.
The Praetorian Guards, who were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, temporarily blocked the pursuit, and took advantage of the opportunity to throw down their bows and arrows in their backs, raise their guns and knives and kill the Praetorian Guards.
"What people!" Wang Mao turned around and asked angrily.
Hearing Wang Mao's question, these 100 masked men didn't answer at all, and instantly fought with the Praetorian Guards. Although these big men are all dressed as ordinary people, the murderous aura on their bodies is soaring to the sky. This kind of awe-inspiring aura cannot be experienced without experiencing a hundred times of life and death.
The Praetorian Guards hurriedly turned around and fought with the masked people, and Wang Mao knew that something was wrong. The Praetorian Guards are all elites who have been chosen by thousands of people, and their skills are extraordinary, but when they fight against these masked men, they are defeated and retreated. These masked men are extremely brave, and their cultivation is actually higher than that of the Praetorian Guards, although their moves are not as fancy and beautiful as the Praetorian Guards, but they are very simple and effective, often fighting for their lives. In particular, a masked man at the head of the group, holding a cloud-piercing spear in his hand, was extremely powerful, and all the Praetorian Guards who met him were cut off his horse by him in less than two rounds, and none of them survived.
More than 200 Praetorian Guards were turned on their backs by the masked people killed by the crowd in an instant, and Wang Mao was shocked, knowing that it would be difficult to catch Gu Tianying and Wan today. However, with these masked men as a rhetoric, he can also give a difference. Thinking of this, Wang Mao shouted to retreat, and took the lead in whipping his horse and running towards the wasteland on the left side of the avenue. The purpose of these masked men was obviously for Gu Tianying and the others, and when they saw that the Praetorian Guards were killed and scattered, they did not pursue, and they rode their horses to chase Gu Tianying.
Everything that happened, Gu Tian, who was standing in the carriage, should see it clearly, and knew in his heart that the person who came was a friend and not an enemy, and he had a great relationship with the Gu family, otherwise who would risk the crime of killing his head and stealing his family to come here to save him.
"Shunfu, stop!" Gu Tianying turned his head and gave an order, and when the carriage stopped, Gu Tianying jumped down with a gun and waited for someone to come by the side of the carriage. Chu Xilai also turned over and dismounted, holding a spear in each hand, and guarded the side of the carriage.
In a few breaths, nearly 100 masked men came to the carriage, and one of the leaders hung the cloud spear in his hand on the victory hook, and turned off the horse, only to see that this person was eight feet long, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and a wolf's belly.
"The villain met Mrs. Gu and met Young Master Gu." The man took two steps to the carriage and bowed.
Gu Tianying has read countless people in his two lives, and when he heard this person's voice, he knew that this person was not very old, and he must be less than twenty years old.
"Thank you for your help." Gu Tianying hurriedly returned the salute and said.
Hearing that someone outside came out to greet him, Wan Shi lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out of the car window, Gu Tianying took two steps forward and came closer, and explained: "Mother, the situation is critical, and it was this righteous man who led people to help and killed the officers and soldiers. ”
As he spoke, Gu Tianying secretly glanced at Wan, meaning to let Wan see if he recognized this masked young man. Fang Cai Gu Tianying searched in his memory, but he didn't have the impression of this person. And these people obviously don't want to show their true faces, and although their attitude is respectful, they don't mean to take down the black scarf to recognize each other.
"Thank you for coming to the rescue, dare to ask the name of the righteous man?" Wan obviously didn't know these people either, so he asked.
"We are all ordinary people, seeing that the court is loyal and traitorous and cruel to Lord Gu, and I heard that the officers and soldiers are coming here to be unfavorable to the young master, so we gathered together to save each other, and the miscellaneous surnames in the fields are not enough to say, I only hope that the young master will escape from this catastrophe and continue the incense for the ancient family." The masked man said and took out a thick envelope from his arms, handed it to Gu Tianying and said, "This is my heart, I hope that Mrs. Young Master will take care of it." ”
After speaking, the masked man didn't wait for Gu Tianying to speak again, turned around and jumped on his horse, leading everyone to fly towards the north with more than a dozen of his own corpses, and he really came and went without a trace.
Watching everyone leave, Gu Tianying and Wan glanced at each other, knowing that these people didn't want to reveal their identities, maybe they were afraid that they would be implicated after they were caught, or maybe for other reasons. Gu Tianying looked at the thick envelope in his hand, there was not a single handwriting, and when he opened it, there was no letter in it, only a thick pile of Tongzhou silver tickets, all of which were large amounts of one hundred taels, and there were more than a dozen of them.
"These farmers are so beautiful." Chu Evil on the side sighed, looked down at the silver ticket in Gu Tianying's hand, and said in surprise: "Not only is he good, but he is also very rich." ”
"What a farmer, that's just people's rhetoric." Gu Tianying glanced at Chu Evil, the masked man who was the leader was full of words, where would ordinary people in the fields have horses and blades, such a brave combat power is impossible to have without the tempering of life and death. The young man at the head was clearly the leader of these people, and the crowd was not gathered together temporarily to save themselves. And this pile of silver tickets is more than a thousand taels to say the least, which is a huge amount of money, and the entire Yichang City can come up with so much money, which is not much, and it is not at all that more than 100 farmers can make up, these words are obviously the words of the masked young man.
Hearing Gu Tianying's explanation, Chu Xianlai suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I know that person is talking nonsense, how can the people in the field kill the Praetorian Guard, it seems that the identity of these people is not simple." ”
Gu Tianying didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned to Wan and asked, "Mother, can you guess the identity of these people?" ”
Wan Shi frowned, and after thinking about it, he had no clue.
"It seems that my father has not been in vain on weekdays, and has made a rich bosom friend." Gu Tianying said in his heart, since people don't want to reveal their identity, he doesn't bother to chase deeply, this white silver can't be faked, they escaped from the ancient mansion before, and they didn't bring too much gold and silver, and Gu Tianying put the silver ticket close to Gu Tianying's heart is more steady. Turned around and came to the front, picked up an ownerless war horse, removed the Praetorian Guard logo hanging in front of the saddle, turned over and rode on, and came to the front of the carriage.
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go to Huayu Town to prepare some dry food, and by the way, sell some change of clothes and hats to cover your face. It won't be long before our reputation and appearance will spread throughout the states and counties, and before that we can find a place to live. According to Wang Mao's character, it is expected that he will not dare to pursue again for the time being, and he can take this opportunity to buy necessary things in Huayu Town according to the original plan.
A group of several people quickly came to the front of Huayu Town, Gu Tianying was full of blood, and Chu Evil was even more like a bloody person, and the two of them would give birth to right and wrong when they entered the composure. Therefore, Gu Tianying personally drove the carriage with Wan and Chu Wei to spare the town and waited in the south. Give up his horses to Shun Fu and let him go to the town alone to buy dry food and other necessary things. Now that the 'glorious deeds' of Gu Tianying and others have not yet spread, Shunfu will not be in danger for the time being.
To the south of Yuhua Town is a green mountain forest that stretches for nearly 100 miles, called Tianjian Mountain. Bypassing Tianjian Mountain and then not far to the south, it is the famous city of blades in Qingzhou, the city of Bian Wang of Lujun. Wan's current meaning is to find a remote village with few people and settle down temporarily. After the rumors subsided, I went to Yanzhou to find Dong's family for help.
Gu Tianying drove the carriage and Chu Evil to Tianjian Mountain, hiding in the forest on the side of the outer path, waiting for Shunfu to return.
It's late spring, and although it's not too hot, it's very stuffy. Chu Evil ran and followed the road ahead, and then he fought and killed for a while, and he sweated all over. In addition, the robe was soaked with blood, and I didn't feel anything when I ran away in a hurry, but now when I stopped, I felt uncomfortably tight all over my body, not to mention the smell of stinky sweat and blood.
Chu Xilai looked at himself with disgust, turned his head and said to Gu Tianying, who was half-lying in the carriage on the side: "Big brother, I can't stand the smell, I want to take a bath." ”
