Chapter 141: Time
The two guards who went to the General Soldier's Mansion to deliver the text were about to reach their destination, but they encountered an accident on the street outside the General Soldier's Mansion. Two men suddenly appeared in the alley and threw themselves off their horses. The two men, whose movements were very agile, reached out and drew their short knives after knocking them down, directly to the chest of the guards.
At this time, from the corner of the street, more than 20 people turned around, these 20 or so people, all of them were sturdy young people, each with a saber hanging from their waists, majestic and high-spirited. Behind them, there was a carriage with a curtain on it, and it was not known who was sitting in it.
When the two guards were stabbed, they each let out a scream, which happened to be heard by more than 20 young people who had been abducted. One of the young men shouted, "What are you doing in front of you?" ”
"We were sent by Governor Yue, come and save your life!" Hearing the questioning, one of the guards shouted loudly through gritted teeth.
The two Assassins were startled when they heard the questioning, and one of them, drawing his short knife, slashed at the shouting guard beneath him, and then went into his arms. The same was true of the other Assassin, but when he was about to pull out his dagger, his hand was held by the guards below him.
The men at the corner of the street, when they heard the shouting that it was the subordinate of the governor Yue, they were immediately stunned, but there were not many people to see, and the two sides added up to only four, so the young man who had just shouted waved his hand, and six young men drew their weapons and rushed forward directly.
"What a bold man, he dares to spread wild on the territory of the General Soldier's Mansion, don't you want to live?"
The six were fast, but they were still nearly twenty paces away from the guards when the two assassins saw someone rushing towards them. In a hurry, the assassin who reached into the arms of a guard and searched for a long time, but he didn't get what he wanted, and said, "He doesn't have it on him!" ”
The other Assassin. However, he had the intention to search the people under him, but his hands were tightly grasped, and he could only shout: "Come and help!" ”
The previous assassin, hearing this, raised his dagger and slammed it into the left eye of the undead guard. Blood splattered, and the guards screamed again, killing them instantly. An assassin riding on top of him. Remove your wrist grip and pull out the knife. Reaching for the arms of the guards, the six young men were already very close to them, and the six of them could see clearly that the two assassins seemed to be searching for something.
No matter what you are looking for, people will understand that what is on the dead must be very important. Since it was hit. Moreover, the dead man just said that he had sent it to the Governor, and he must not let people snatch it away.
Otherwise, if this matter is known by his own general, at least he will have to be severely punished.
The skills of the six people are very Jiaojian. The one who ran in front simply raised his hand and threw the steel knife in his hand.
The knife was accurate and ruthless, and the assassin who reached into his arms to search for it just said, "Found it", and then pulled his hand outward, but before he could take it out. I heard the sound of the wind behind me, and there was a "plop" sound. The steel knife had pierced into his vest.
"Ah......h Involuntarily fell to the left. Seeing his accomplice fall to the ground, and the sound of footsteps behind him, the other assassin did not dare to linger any longer, and moved his body into the alley next to him, and soon disappeared without a trace.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, six young men followed him. The throwing knife went out, crouched down, drew the knife from the Assassin's vest, and two more, leaned down to examine the two dead guards. The man was dead now, but just now the young man noticed that the assassin seemed to have found something important in one of the guards, so a young man reached into the arms of the guards and quickly pulled out a large envelope and a large order.
"Look at this arrow...... "The young man handed the arrow to the young man who had just thrown his knife out.
The young man stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it, and was surprised, "This is the order arrow of the governor's yamen, what is written on that envelope in your hand?" ”
The young man with the envelope in his hand was looking down to take a closer look, the envelope was already soaked red with blood, but the words on it could still be seen. "This is the Governor's letter to our master, it seems to be very important."
"The master is not in the mansion now, let's hand over the things to the young master first, and let him dispose of it." The young man with the order stood up, took the envelope from the young man's hand, and ran towards the back.
The carriage behind had now stopped, and a dozen young men armed with weapons were guarding on the side.
"Why did it stop?" A young man's voice came from inside the car, and with the sound, the curtain of the carriage was also opened.
The curtain of the car was opened, and the body of a young man came out, this person was none other than Pei Yingjie. Beside him, there was also a young girl sitting.
Xiao Jiu is Pei Yingjie's personal scholar, he is standing next to the carriage at the moment, putting on a look of fierce loyalty, hearing the young master's question, he hurriedly said: "Back to the young master's words, it was the murder in front, the servants of the house have already gone up, one of the murderers died, and the other ran away." ”
"I see." When Pei Yingjie spoke, he had already seen the situation in front of him, and he was running back from his own side.
The young man's speed was very fast, and he took a few steps to the carriage, bowed down and said, "Childe, something is wrong?" ”
"Isn't it just going to be a death? What can be a big deal. Pei Yingjie said disappreciably.
"The two people who died shouted earlier that they were sent by the Governor Yue, and just now we went over, searched it, and found this in their arms. Childe, you see, this is indeed the great order of the governor's yamen, and there is also a letter, which is a master's. After the young man finished speaking, he presented the text and the great order with both hands.
Xiao Jiu stepped forward to take it, and when he saw that the text was full of blood, he was startled, and hurriedly handed it to Pei Yingjie, who was sitting in the car. Pei Yingjie seemed to be quite bold, and when he saw so much blood, he was also a little trembling, took a closer look at Da Ling, and said, "Are you sure this is true?" ”
"Although the subordinates dare not assert it, they are sure that it is true." The young man replied.
"This thing is for my father, but my father is parading in the big camp, not in the city, and I don't know if he will be able to come back at night. Then take the body away, go back to your house first, and when my father returns, I will hand over the things to him." Pei Yingjie said.
"Yes, Childe." The young man said yes and ran to the front to deliver the order and clean up the body.
Pei Yingjie lowered the curtain and put the arrow and the official document aside. He didn't pay much attention to these two things, but the young girl sitting next to him never took his eyes off the text and the order.
The car moved slowly, and because it was on the street in front of the General Soldier's Palace, it quickly arrived at the place. After stopping, Pei Yingjie jumped out of the carriage, handed the text and the order to Xiao Jiu to hold, and waited for the young girl to get off the car, and then walked towards the mansion.
The servants need to follow the young master outside the mansion, and when they return to the mansion, they don't have to be like farts and bugs. Pei Yingjie, Xiao Jiu, and the girl came to the backyard.
Since Pei Gongzi was taken away from the governor's line by his father last time, he has been locked up in the mansion by the old man and has not been allowed to leave. However, he still loves his son after all, and when Lord Yue left Hangzhou, the supervision of his son was relaxed, and he was allowed to go out and wander around without anything, but the premise was that he was not allowed to make trouble, and sent many family soldiers to monitor him. There is a saying that if you have seen a ghost, you are not afraid of the dark, Pei Gongzi lived in Zhao Prison, and was beaten in the governor's line, and stood on the flail, his heart is no longer as high as before, and he does not dare to make trouble in Hangzhou City, at most he goes to some places where the wind and snow are shining, and he will consume when he should consume.
Speaking of good luck, Pei Yingjie met a girl in a high-end courtyard, this girl is both skilled and can talk to Pei Gongzi, so Pei Yingjie finally spent a lot of money to redeem him. The girl's name is Yu Yan, she is a young girl who is now with him, and the two of them are going to the West Lake to go boating today, and they are happy to have fun, and they just go home.
But it's a coincidence, I happened to encounter this incident.
The three of them came to Pei Yingjie's room, Pei Gongzi and Yu Yan sat down with their hands on their hands, Xiao Jiu took the official document and the order arrow, and whispered: "Master Gongzi, this 'Yue shaved head' person will actually meet an assassin outside our mansion, obviously the assassin is coming for the order arrow and the official document in his hand, the content on it, I can't tell if it is an urgent matter." ”
"What's the urgency? What should I do, when my dad comes back, I'll give him the things. Pei Yingjie said disdainfully.
"My lord is going to inspect the camp today, and according to the previous situation, it will take three or five days to come back. If this matter is too big and delayed, if the 'Yue shaved head' gets angry, our master will be implicated. Xiao Jiu said carefully.
"That's right." After being reminded by Xiao Jiuyi, Pei Yingjie reacted and said: "What you said is right, that unlucky Yue Su has always had a bad temper, damn it, if it really falls into his hands, what will happen, it may not be." Then send someone out of the city now to deliver a letter to my father. ”
"Yes, young master." Xiao Jiu agreed, put the letter on the coffee table on the side, and turned around to go out.
"Wait." At this moment, Yu Yan, who was sitting next to Pei Yingjie, suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?" Pei Yingjie turned his head to look at Yu Yan.
Xiao Jiu stopped his footsteps and turned around in confusion.
"Childe, it's so late, I think the master is already asleep, why should the young master send someone to disturb at this time. What kind of urgent official document is not bad for a moment. I don't think it's better to send it tomorrow. Yu Yan said.
Pei Yingjie thought about it, and this is the same reason, nodded and said: "Yes, no matter how urgent the official document is, it will not be one night, so let's send it tomorrow." Xiao Jiu, you go to the kitchen to prepare meals, and after a day of playing, I am also hungry. ”
If this letter is delivered now, Pei Xuan will immediately send troops, just in time for the decisive battle date set by Yue Su. But if it's late, it can be said that every time it drags on for an hour, the time when Pei Xuan arrives will be an hour late. Now the time of Shen is approaching, and it will be delivered until dawn, at least six hours in the evening.
