Chapter 207: The Killing Opportunity Rises Again
187 A.D., October
Autumn is fading away, and the cold wind is blowing slowly, as if to warn people that winter is coming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and when the winter of this year is coming, Sun Ling, who set out from Yangzhai City and lasted more than two months, went to conquer the barbarian army, and returned to Yangzhai City with more than 25,000 soldiers of the Badao Battalion.
Originally, Sun Ling wanted to bring those barbarian troops and war horses back to Yangzhai City, and let Xun Yu and Xu Lu take them by themselves. However, after the two learned of Sun Ling's gains in the battle report, they immediately took the garrisons of Jingzhou and Xuzhou to the border of Yuzhou, and warmly greeted Sun Ling, who had returned from victory, and asked the garrisons they brought to send those barbarian troops and war horses back to the two states on the grounds of reducing the burden of the march of the Badao battalion.
Although he knew that the two of them were just making excuses for their own impatience, Sun Ling did not debunk them. After all, these barbarian troops and war horses were originally meant to be sent to them, and now that they can bring them back by themselves, it is naturally better. And seeing that Diao Chan and He Lingsi were about to give birth, as well as the assassination incident that had happened before, Sun Ling was indeed in a hurry to rush back to Yangzhai City.
Without the drag of those barbarian troops and war horses, the Tyrant Battalion would be able to march much faster. But after a little more than a day, he returned to Yangzhai City.
Dian Wei explained a few words to Guo Jia and others, and asked them to set up the Badao battalion, Sun Ling was in the garrison at the head of the city, and in the hot eyes of the people along the way, he drove the white dragon horse under his crotch and rushed towards Sun's mansion.
Bai Longju also seemed to feel the anxiety of the owner on his back, and while avoiding passers-by along the way, he galloped towards the direction of Sun Mansion like a gust of wind.
Although the white dragon horse came at a gallop and didn't hurt anyone, there were always some stall owners and pedestrians on the streets of the city who were frightened by the sudden appearance of the white shadow of the wind. These people wanted to scold, but when they saw the familiar and reverent back on the horse's back, the angry look on their faces suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by the scorching heat that was difficult to extinguish.
As this white shadow galloped on the streets of Yangzhai City, the news of Sun Ling's annihilation of the barbarian army and his victorious return began to spread rapidly throughout Yangzhai City.
Compared to those people who have no access to the army's intelligence and have not known about Sun Ling's victorious return until now. As the generals under Sun Ling, and the people who are not in charge of Sun Ling's absence, but actually hold the power of the four states, Zhao Yun and Lu Zhi knew about it early.
However, because of the assassination of Cai Yan and the others last time, the two did not take Yang Zhai City's civil and military forces out of the city to greet them, but chose to wait for Sun Ling's return at the gate of the Sun Mansion, which is now heavily guarded.
Among the guards of Zhao Yun and many garrisons, He Lingsi held his waist with one hand and stroked his towering belly with the other, looked nervously at Cai Yan who was looking at the street next to him, and asked, "Sister Wenji, where do you say your husband should be now?" Has it already entered the territory of Yangzhai? ”
Hearing this, Cai Yan took back his gaze that was looking at the movement on the street, looked at He Lingsi and Diao Chan who were struggling to hold their stomachs beside him, and said angrily: "Sister Ling'er, since General Zhao said that the husband is returning today, it must be today's return!" The day when you and Sister Cicada are about to give birth, you should go back to the house and wait, why are you so nonsense? ”
Hearing Cai Yan's words that seemed to be teaching a lesson, but actually did care, He Lingsi and Diao Chan looked at each other, and Qi Qi spit out his tongue at Cai Yan playfully. Obviously, they listened to Cai Yan's words, but they still insisted on waiting here.
Seeing the performance of the two, Cai Yan knew that no matter what he said, it was impossible for them to compromise on this matter. When they saw the two female nurses who had been carefully trained by Hua Tuo behind them, they were a little relieved.
When everyone was looking at the street in the middle, Xiao Sun Hao squeezed out of the crowd, stretched out his hand to the street on his left, and corrected: "You all are looking in the wrong direction, Dad is on this side, and he is almost there!" ”
As soon as Xiao Sun Hao's words fell, Lu Zhi, Zhao Yun, and Cai Yan immediately looked along the street he pointed to, but the elites of the garrison still looked at each other. Cai Yan's reaction was just that, after all, it could be considered that they were coaxing the little young master to be happy.
Lu Zhi and Zhao Yun would react like this, which made them a little incomprehensible. Lu Zhi and Zhao Yun, one is Sun Ling's absence, replacing him in charge of the big man in Sizhou, and the other is the heavy general who commands the sword battalion, it stands to reason that even if they don't want to snub the little young master, they won't have such a neat performance, at least they should be a little hesitant, right?
But at this time, there was the slightest hesitation on the faces of the two, clearly believing that Sun Ling would return from that street as little Sun Hao said.
Just when these garrisons were puzzled, three voices shouted two words in surprise one after another: Coming!
Among these three voices, the first to shout was Xiao Sun Hao, who made everyone react like this, then Zhao Yun, and finally Bai Xin among the five women.
Looking at Xiao Sun Hao in front of him with an excited expression, Zhao Yun remembered what Mrs. Zhang had said a few days ago, and there was an expression of "sure enough" on his face.
"But also, as the child of the lord, if the little young master is the same as an ordinary child, it is a little too much." After seeing Xiao Sun Hao's perception beyond ordinary people, Zhao Yun secretly thought in his heart.
Compared with Zhao Yun's natural thoughts, Cai Yan's faces were a little strange. Because the more powerful Xiao Sun Hao is, the more worried they are that if another child is born in the future, they will be too busy to take care of it. As for Qiao'er, I don't know what she's thinking, her whole pretty face was instantly covered by the peach, and her pink and shy appearance is so cute!
Looking at the figure on the back of the white dragon horse, Lu Zhi's tense face finally stretched, and with a relaxed smile, he said to the elite of the garrison behind him: "Since Wenda is back, the Badao Battalion must have entered the city, and you have worked hard these days!" You can go and rest for a few days and then go back to your old duties. ”
Since knowing that Cai Yan's daughters were assassinated, Lu Zhi has not been really happy while arranging the defense of the Sun Mansion. But now that Sun Ling is back, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. As for the assassination organization that was called the "stab" by Mrs. Zhang, as well as the instigator behind it, Lu Zhi believed that Sun Ling was absolutely capable of dealing with it, and he didn't need to worry about it at all.
Lu Zhi spoke, and these garrisons naturally did not follow the reason, first cast an admiring gaze at the co-master of the four states on the back of the white dragon horse, and then looked at Xiao Sun Hao, who was the first to speak out, with curiosity. With the excitement of seeing Sun Ling and the doubts about Xiao Sun Hao, he left the gate of Sun's Mansion and walked towards the garrison camp, planning to go home and rest for a few days after the errand.
In a private house closer to the gate of the Sun Mansion, an old woman with white hair and a little boy about eight years old were tied to the bed in the house, each with a rag stuffed on their mouths, looking at the two figures in front of the window that were probing the gate of the Sun Mansion, one red and one black, anxiously "woo" and shouted.
The man in red in front of the window, who was checking the situation at the gate of the Sun Mansion, turned around, pointed at the little boy, and said to the old woman with his eyes exposed to the air: "Old woman, you give me a quieter, otherwise I will kill this little cub first!" ”
Hearing the threat of the man in red, the old lady didn't dare to struggle anymore, and while quieting down, she looked nervously at her grandson beside her and signaled him not to make a sound.
After the mother-in-law and grandson stopped making a sound, the man in red turned his head to look at the black shadow in front of the window, and said very dissatisfied: "Mountain! If you want me to say, why bother so much if you kill these two people directly? I heard that Sun Ling has already arrived in Yangzhai territory, and now he may have entered the city, if he is allowed to bring those generals back, this assassination will not be so easy to succeed! ”
"Fire! Your temper is still so short-tempered, you should know very well that there are no rules and no rules. Since it is a rule set by the organization itself, then we should abide by it even more, and it is not our duty to hurt people other than assassination. Facing the dissatisfaction of the man in red, the man in black in front of the window said lightly, and there didn't seem to be the slightest emotional fluctuation in his words.
These two people are the top killers in the "Thorn" organization called by Mrs. Zhang, Fire and Mountain! Originally, the assassination operation should have been completed by Feng and Lin, but these two people missed, not only lost the dozen or so elite killers who had been hidden in Yangzhai City for many years, but Lin was also captured by Sun Fu because of this.
After learning the news, the high-ranking officials of the "Thorn" disregarded the dissuasion of the wind and sent the fire and the mountain at the same time, asking them to assassinate Sun Ling's family again.
Because of the vigilance of the last assassination, Sun Fu was arranged like an iron bucket by Lu Zhi, which gave the two of them no chance to lurk in at all. Of course, if they had the speed of the wind, it shouldn't be too difficult to enter the Sun Mansion. It's a pity that Feng doesn't know what's going on, no matter how the two of them invite, they just refuse to return to Sun's Mansion again.
"Good! Good! I really don't know why a stubborn person like you would find you with so many big deals. If Feng is willing to come out with me this time, I would rather be in a group with him than with a stubborn maniac like you. Knowing that he couldn't talk about him, Fire could only mumble a few words in his mouth.
Shan seemed indifferent to the fire saying that he was a stubborn maniac, and explained: "I may not be stronger than the three of you in terms of martial arts, but in terms of willpower, you can't!" As a top killer, without a strong will, he can't kill opponents who are stronger than himself! ”
Hearing that Shan explained to himself casually, Huo Shen was afraid that he would continue to chatter, and he didn't dare to murmur to him anymore, complaining about why Feng refused to come, and at the same time, he shifted his gaze to the door of Sun's mansion.
The sound of horses' hooves coming from the street in the distance, and the departing garrison, made Fire realize that this was an opportunity, and turned his head to the mountain and said, "The sound of horses' hooves! There was only one horse, and the garrisons retreated. This is a great opportunity! Let's go?! ”
"Action!" As soon as the words fell, the figure of the mountain flew out of the window, and went straight towards the gate of the Sun Mansion, where the people who were watching the street.
