Chapter Twenty-Seven: Unexpected
In the middle of the night, the horses neighed, the chariots rattled, and the Longwei Dart Bureau did more than 20 people, walked to the city gate, gave the defenders a few ingots of silver, and the city gate rumbled open, letting everyone go.
Outside Cangzhou City, Siye was even darker, only a few crows chirped hoarsely, adding a bit of solemn atmosphere.
Everyone lit the torches and walked carefully, only to see that in the vast dark night, it was this team that was bright. But when he saw the cold and the fog was faint,
It is difficult to separate the four fields.
Those young dart masters all looked sleepy, the cold wind hit their bodies, and they couldn't help but feel extremely cold, and they were very puzzled by Liu Ming's need to travel a long way late at night, but they were hired by others, and they couldn't say anything, so they had to hope that the post station would arrive soon.
gritted their teeth and insisted, and everyone walked tiredly for an hour, and someone pointed to a light in the distance and said excitedly: "The post station has arrived!" ”
As if wishing to quench their thirst, this said, everyone thought of the warm stove and the comfortable room of the post station, and they gave birth to infinite strength, three steps and two steps, and hurried to the front of the post station.
At this time, the gate of the post was closed, and only two soldiers watched the procession with wary eyes.
"Who's coming?" The soldier shouted.
Gao Wu Yu Zhu Ma said: "Master Bing, we are the Longwei Dart Bureau, because of this barren mountains and mountains, there is no village in front of the village and no store, so we have come to ask for a night." ”
"Is there an official document from the state capital?" The soldier asked.
"No ......"
"Is there a post ticket?"
"Tell the official, there are no such things as small ones."
"No?" The soldier said in a cold tone, "You know, what kind of place is this? Think it's an ordinary inn? Go, find another place to stay. ”
Gao Wu rolled the saddle and dismounted, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Soldier...... This is not a tribute...... "As he spoke, he gave away two ingots of silver.
The soldier looked at the two ingots of silver, his eyes lit up, but he was embarrassed, "Little brother, it's not that I don't understand people, if you are only three or five people, it is pitiful to see you blind in the black light, so we will let you in." However, now there are thirty or fifty of you, and when you check it out, you occupy the room of the official messenger, and we really dare not take care of it.
Just when Gao Wu was in a dilemma, Chun Niang on the side suddenly said to Liu Ming: "Liu Xianggong, let me try." ”
Liu Ming asked, "What do you do?" ”
After Chun Niang dismounted, she ran directly to the side of the soldier and whispered a few words, and the soldier's expression immediately changed, and he glanced at Liu Ming a few more times, and immediately opened the gate of the post station.
"Alright, alright, you guys come in. But you have to leave tomorrow, don't occupy the vacant rooms of other officials. The postman snorted.
"Chun Niang, what method did you use to get that soldier to open the door?" As soon as he heard that he could live in the post station, Liu Yuanzhi said happily.
"The post man listened to the accent and was originally my fellow villager, so I begged him for a favor and sold it for convenience." Chunniang replied.
"Not bad, not bad." Liu Yuanzhi rubbed his hands and said, "It seems that saving you is really not in vain." Son, let's do the right thing this time. He looked at Liu Ming happily.
Liu Ming's brows frowned slightly, and then his face returned to calm.
This group of people had long been sleepy and tired, and as soon as they heard that they could enter the post station to rest, they all cheered up and hurriedly wanted to rush into the inn.
"Gao Wu, you wait a moment." Liu Ming suddenly grabbed the other party's sleeve and whispered a few words in his ear.
That Gao Wu is calm and calm on weekdays, and he is as immobile as a mountain, but after listening to Liu Ming's words, his face suddenly turned pale, and he whispered: "Childe, are you sure?" ”
"Not sure...... Liu Ming said cautiously, "that's why I need you." Gao Darttou, tonight, you have to work harder, don't enter the station......"
Gao Wu said worriedly: "I'm not hard, I just hope for Gongzi's prophecy...... It won't come true! ”
Leading the horses and carrying the luggage, the mighty group slowly entered the post station, while Gao Wu took two dart masters and disappeared into the night unconsciously.
This Liu Yuanzhi took out a silver ticket again and handed it to the post man at the post station to show his gratitude. At this time, it was the second half of the night, and everyone quickly went back to their rooms to rest.
Inside the house, Fakong put down the package, unloaded the leggings, and was about to rest, when he saw a knock outside the door.
Fakong opened the door and saw Chun Niang standing at the door with a bowl of hot porridge and a smile.
When Fakong saw the porridge, he desperately wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said in a milky voice: "This female benefactor, I'm not hungry, let's send it to Liu Xianggong's room." ”
Chun Niang smiled: "Little Master Fakong, then Liu Xianggong won't let me in at all, I'll bring you the porridge." ”
Fakong actually had a rumbling stomach, happily took the porridge, poured it into his mouth, and said in his mouth: "Miss Chunniang, I am a child and I don't understand the affairs of you adults, but our young master Liu is a good person......"
"yes, so I can't treat you badly." Chunniang said gently, "Little Master Fakong, do you still want it?" ”
Fakong lowered his head and poked his fingers, and said shyly: "Enough, I have a small appetite, and I am a child." ”
"There's still ...... here," Chunniang pointed to a steaming rice bucket outside the door, "and they've all been brought to you." ”
There was another snoring and drinking porridge, and Fakong was so drunk that his forehead was sweating. He wiped his mouth and asked, "Chun Niang, you are too good to me." ”
Chun Niang smiled and looked empty: "Do you know why I am so good to you?" ”
Fakong said innocently: "Why? ”
……
In the night, in the duty room of the post station, there was a crackling sound of pai gow.
The four of them sat at the table, and the Great Wall was in full swing.
"Hey...... I said, you dart heads of the Longwei Dart Bureau, but you are working harder than us, living in this post station, and you have to be on duty? A burly soldier with a stubble face in a crooked hat said as he touched the cards.
"Who's to say it isn't?" One of the face slimmers laughed, "It's really bad luck for the two of us to take our turn tonight." ”
"You ...... Don't you believe in the station's ability to guard? Another soldier shouted.
"Don't worry about the two officials...... "The slimmer said with a smile, "Our Longwei Dart Bureau has set up many rules since its establishment, and there must be someone on duty everywhere at night......
"Oops...... Stinky card ......" There were a few soldiers on the side who looked at the cards in the burly soldier's hand and scolded.
"Fuck it...... Get out of the way, I'm having a good time......," the burly soldier scolded back.
"What time is it now?" A soldier in the corner lowered the brim of his hat suddenly asked.
"It's almost four shifts." The dart master said as he touched the cards.
The burly soldier raised his eyebrows suddenly, his forehead was raised, and he asked casually: "The two darts are not from Xuzhou, right?" ”
"No, it's just a dart passing through this Xuzhou."
"Homesick?"
"That's right, sir, who doesn't want to be home outside? My octogenarian mother and the cheap ones are waiting for me to come home for the New Year. ”
The burly soldier glanced at the few officers in the dark corner, and with a strange expression, he said to the thin-faced darthead, "Now—I'll send you home, okay?" ”
Seeing that a strange smile suddenly appeared on the burly soldier's face, the slimmed-face dart head couldn't help but be shocked, and before he could react, he felt the pain of the Heavenly Spirit Cover exploding, and two pillars of hot blood flowed down from his forehead.
"Damn, this guy's head is quite hard, and he can't be slashed with a knife!" The burly soldier beckoned to his accomplices.
The other dart master also felt a cold stinging pain in his chest, and when he looked down, a white blade stretched out from his chest, like the tip of a bamboo shoot in the rain, his eyes were desperate, and before he could struggle, he fell to the ground.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps in the duty room, and the clanging of blades.
At this time, the guest room on the second floor of the post station was already in chaos. Everywhere there was the sound of swords intersecting. Fortunately, the dart master of the Longwei Dart Bureau is also well-trained, and after hearing the movement, he immediately reacted and was still actively resisting.
In Liu Ming's room, Liu Yong and Su Shi both brandished their swords and killed outward.
"Flutter" -
Liu Yong stabbed his sword at the soldier who was standing in front of him, and the latter fell to the ground hard. And Su Shi also blocked left and right, covering for Liu Yong.
Confucius is proficient in the six arts - "poetry, books, etiquette, music, riding and shooting", Li Taibai is also a good sword in the dance field, this Liu Yong and Su Shi, in fact, the swordsmanship is also good.
The three things that great writers usually do, drinking, pickling girls, dancing swords, and all dynasties and dynasties are like this.
The scene of Liu Su's two great words, combining two swords, surprised Liu Ming. At this time, the eyes of these two people were red, and their faces were full of murderous energy, which made those soldiers dare not approach for the time being.
"Don't want to hurt my nephew!" Liu Yong held his sword across his chest, his eyes shining, "Why don't you take a Wu hook, I, Liu Yong, how could I die in the hands of you miscellaneous servants?" ”
At this time, more soldiers poured out of the post station and assembled on the first floor. And Liu Ming's group was forced to the second floor, and they could only desperately guard the staircase entrances on both sides.
Facing the black pressure of people on this floor, everyone gasped.
At this time, the post station thieves on the first floor kept attacking the dart masters guarding the staircase, those dart masters, although their kung fu was good, but after all, there were few people, how could they resist the wheel battle of so many people.
Su Shi and Liu Yong looked anxious, going down like this, the staircase would be broken through sooner or later. And that Liu Yuanzhi was already so frightened that he prostrated on the ground, crying: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"
There was a "flutter" sound, and the two dart masters guarding the staircase were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
The crowd upstairs fell into despair.
At the last moment, I heard a milky cry in the post station:
"Amitabha, please donors, put down the butcher's knife!"
When Liu Yuanzhi heard this shout, he immediately said happily: "Fakong, hurry, hurry, kill these bastards!" ”
He knew that now on his side, he was counting on Fakong.
The people on the second floor only felt a whirlwind coming from them, and then they saw many thieves who were about to rush up, screaming and flying out one after another.
In an instant, the four or five thieves who were clustered at the staircase were all beaten to the ground.
Everyone on the second floor couldn't help but cheer when they saw it.
And the rest of the thieves were all trembling and holding the swords in their hands, looking at Fakong with some panic, thinking to themselves how could this little bit have such a high level of kung fu.
A dart master shouted: "Little Master Fakong, you take us and kill us!" ”
At this time, the morale of the second floor increased greatly. When everyone saw that Fakong had such a wonderful kung fu, they knocked down several people in a flash of light, and hope was born in their hearts.
"Everyone listens!" A crisp sound like a silver bell rang out in the hall.
A figure walked in front of the thieves.
Liu Yuanzhi, who was on the second floor, looked at the person who gave the order, and couldn't help but feel blood gushing up, and his eyes were about to split: "Chun Niang...... You! ”
He didn't expect that the person he saved was the leader of this thief.
