Chapter 426: Wang Mandu (4)
Sure enough, something happened!
As the man's voice rang out, a sharp arrow flew in, breaking through the air and making a sharp whistling sound, hitting the man in the chest.
"Shichiro!"
Yang Daoyi let out a cry of sorrow, picked up a shield, and jumped over the carriage.
The person who was shot was one of the thirteen Jianghu people. Yang Shouwen vaguely remembered that that person seemed to have changed his name to Yang Renyi, ranking seventh among the thirteen people, so everyone called him Qilang, or 'Little Seven'.
Is it easy for Lao Tzu to save a little money?
Yang Shouwen jumped out of the carriage and grabbed the big gun with his backhand.
At the same time, the people in the convoy also woke up, and saw Lu Chengzhi rushing to the bonfire, picking up a burning wood and throwing it out. In the firelight, a group of black-clothed people can be vaguely seen sneaking around the cat's waist. Their whereabouts were discovered, and they immediately gave up hiding. More than a dozen people rushed up and half-crouched on the ground, bent their bows and arrows and shot at the convoy.
"Raise your shield."
Mingxiu shouted sharply, and Twenty-Eight Su rushed out, holding a shield to fend off the flying arrows.
At the same time, Yang Daoyi had already arrived at Yang Renyi's side. It's just that the arrow pierced the heart, and Yang Renyi had already died of anger.
"Daoyi, come back."
Yang Shouwen shouted loudly.
But Yang Daoyi didn't seem to hear it, and drew his knife and pounced on the man in black.
only heard the sound of a bowstring, and more than a dozen arrows flew out, and although Yang Daoyi resisted with a flying knife, he was still shot by sharp arrows. The shield in his hand fell to the ground, and there were five or six sharp arrows stuck in his body. He fell to the ground with a thud, and there was no more movement.
Jianghu people are Jianghu people, and there is no discipline at all.
Yang Shouwen praised Yang Daoyi's righteousness very much. I also appreciate it very much. Pity. Disobeying orders on the battlefield. acted recklessly, and in the end, he could only end up with a death in battle. The death of Yang Daoyi and Yang Renyi also aroused the anger of the other eleven Jianghu people. They wanted to rush out to take revenge, but they were smashed by Yang Shouwen with one shot.
"Whoever dares to go out again, I will kill him first...... It is better for you to die at my hands than for you to die at the hands of those thieves.
Hide all of them for me, and no one will go out without my orders. ”
These days. Yang Shouwen treats these thirteen Jianghu people well, and he also has some prestige.
When he was angry, those people immediately calmed down. They looked at the corpses outside the carriage with anger in their eyes, but none of them rushed out to venturalize again. At the same time, the twenty-eight nights of the Ming family also came to the carriage. Under Mingli's command, Twenty-Eight Su returned fire with bows and crossbows, forcing the thieves to retreat temporarily.
Lu Chengzhi took Zhang Jiuling and Gao Lishi to appease those servants.
Mingxiu walked over and said in a deep voice: "Qingzhi, something is not right. ”
"How?"
"It's so easy!" Mingxiu said: "It's too easy for these thieves to retreat. It stands to reason that they shouldn't have been repulsed so easily. ”
Yang Shouwen was stunned. He immediately probed outward.
Before, he was busy blocking those Jianghu people and didn't pay attention to the situation outside.
But with Mingxiu's reminder, he immediately reacted.
It's really not normal...... If it is a normal bandit, they will launch a fierce attack as soon as their whereabouts are revealed. But these bandits are a little different, and when they are discovered, they attack with arrows. Then, when the Twenty-Eight Nights counterattacked, they immediately retreated. In this round of brief contact, no one on the other side seemed to be killed......
What's the situation?
Yang Shouwen's eyes froze, and he felt doubts in his heart at the same time.
"Shiro, identify yourself and see how they react?"
Mingxiu nodded, stood up and said loudly: "This is the convoy of Yang Shouwen, the consignment of the expedition lang, who was ordered to return to the divine capital to renew the decree. Who are you? Dare to rob and kill the imperial court here, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the imperial court, Xu'er and other nine clans? ”
This guy is serious, it's really like that.
Yang Shouwen glanced at Mingxiu and immediately focused his eyes on the outside of the car.
Under the hills, there was silence.
After a while, a loud voice came, "I have been waiting for a long time to admire the name of Zhengshilang, and I heard that Zhengshilang is an immortal descending to earth, so I want to invite Zhengshilang to be a guest in our village." We have no malicious intent, and please don't misunderstand.
As long as the levy man goes with us, we will guarantee that Qiu will not commit any crimes, and we are willing to compensate those who were accidentally injured. ”
This time, something really isn't right!
Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu glanced at each other, turned around in unison, and looked at Gao Lishi.
At this time, Gao Lishi was not the majestic tall general in history. When Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu saw it like this, their faces suddenly changed, and they were a little at a loss.
"Xiao Gao, could it be that Xiao Guo offended someone?"
"This ...... The slave and maid do not know. ”
Yang Shouwen raised his eyebrows, already understanding the other party's intentions.
These people are probably here to prevent him from returning to Luoyang and preventing him from rescuing Li Guo. If that's the case, then Li Guo is really in a lot of trouble. In order to put him to death, he even sent people to stop Yang Shouwen's return on the way.
Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen was a little anxious.
He shouted in a deep voice: "Listen, people below, I don't care who you are, and I don't want to know why you are here. If I don't retreat immediately, don't blame me for being ruthless. When the time comes, I will report to the saints, and I will wait for you not to stay. ”
At the foot of the octagonal mountain, there was silence.
Yang Shouwen didn't give the other party much time, turned his head to Mingxiu and said, "Light the beacon fire and ask Junyi for help." ”
Mingxiu nodded and immediately ran to Lu Chengzhi's side.
He said a few words to Lu Chengzhi, and Lu Chengzhi said that he understood, and led people to prepare for the beacon fire.
After a while, on the octagonal mountain, the flames were raging.
"It should be about ...... Junyi is not far from here, and you can definitely see the beacon fire here. ”
Mingxiu saw the beacon fire ignited and let out a sigh of relief.
"In less than an hour, reinforcements will arrive."
However, Yang Shouwen did not feel relaxed because of this, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger with the ignition of the beacon fire.
"Alang, something is wrong."
Lu Chengzhi walked over with Zhang Jiuling and said in a low voice: "It stands to reason." Let's ask Junyi for help. These people should be flustered. Or maybe it's just a storm. But you see, they didn't react, they didn't seem to care about reinforcements at all. ”
Zhang Jiuling also said: "Yang Jun, this is not like an ordinary thief.
I just remembered that when I was in Guangzhou, I heard about a case. At that time, there were also thieves attacking a village in Shaozhou. The village lit a beacon fire to ask for help, but did not wait for reinforcements, so that the villagers despaired. In the end, those thieves easily invaded the workshop...... Later, after being verified by the Fuzun, I learned that those people were officers and soldiers. ”
"Huh?"
Yang Shouwen was shocked in his heart, stood up with a sigh, and looked down the mountain.
Under the mountain, the night was like ink, and it was impossible to see how many thieves there were. The beacon fire was raging on the octagonal mountain, but the thieves did not move, and there was no panic at all.
Lu Chengzhi said: "They seem to want to prevent Ah Lang from entering Beijing...... These people even dare to frame their sons, I'm afraid it's not small. Junyi may not send reinforcements over. It's hard to figure out that the thieves and reinforcements have colluded in one place. ”
It's possible!
Yang Shouwen's brows furrowed.
"Shiro. What do you think? ”
Mingxiu narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "The enemy doesn't move, I don't move...... None of us know what's going on outside. At this time, it is better to be still than to be still! It is already close to Henan Yin, and it is by no means comparable to Lingnan. And our side is not comparable to those villagers, so let's consume it to see who can't hold their breath first. ”
Yang Shouwen, Lu Chengzhi, and Zhang Jiuling glanced at each other and immediately agreed.
Mingxiu is right, Bajiao Mountain may not be as good as that village, but these people are not comparable to the villagers.
If you want to consume, then consume.
After dawn, I don't believe you can continue to run rampant!
This is the Central Plains, close to the imperial capital, and it is by no means a place where these bandits can run rampant......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Time, little by little.
At the foot of the Octagonal Mountain, the thieves began to make some commotion.
"General Zheng, the situation is not right."
A middle-aged man, dressed in armor, rode a horse to a young man.
The young man is not very old, and his appearance is quite handsome.
He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Sun, what's wrong?" ”
"Didn't the general notice that the mountain is quiet?"
"So what?"
"In this case, they have not moved, I am afraid that they have already recognized our identities and are ready to stalemate with us.
The general should know that once dawn, we will be exposed.
Not to mention anything else, I'm afraid that these sons and daughters will be flustered, and not only will they not be able to catch Yang Shouwen at that time, but they may also be self-defeating. ”
When the young man heard this, he looked a little nervous.
"Mr. Sun, what should I do?"
The young man said: "My uncle ordered me to intercept Yang Shouwen, but he didn't let me kill him. Now, if he finds out his identity, I am afraid that when the time comes, the saint will blame him, and I will not be able to escape punishment. ”
When Mr. Sun heard this, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, he felt even more inexplicably sad.
I thought that I had a great future back then, but I didn't want to offend the nobles, so that I finally had to bow my head and become someone else's eagle dog. But what ability does this young man have to be able to take charge of a fold? At a young age, he not only got the rank of guerrilla general, but also became a lieutenant. In the final analysis, people have a good mother, and he can't compare.
A grievance in his heart is a grievance, but he also understands that it is time to make up his mind.
"The general has a good heart and does not want to hurt people.
But we have already injured the lives of the two of them, so how can Yang Shouwen give up. Once he makes trouble in the Golden Palace, even if the saint does not blame, the prince will not let the general go. At that time, who will be able to save the general's life? ”
"That'...... What am I going to do? ”
Mr. Sun's eyes showed a fierce look, and he said sharply: "Kill him!" ”
"Huh?"
"When he dies, there will be no one to stand in the way of the king's plans...... At that time, even if the saint wanted to blame, with the secret protection of the prince, the general would be worry-free. Otherwise, if he arrives in the divine capital, even the prince will not be able to come forward to help you. ”
Why is there a feeling of being pitted?
The young man's face was cloudy, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said softly: "In this case, please take the trouble of taking his life." (To be continued.) )
