Chapter Ninety-Seven: The First Sight That Year
Four against eight.
To be precise, it should be three against eight, and Xie Shence feels that he still has an advantage.
General Secretary Yang has basically lost his combat effectiveness.
Now only Xie Shence, Xie Di and two injured ones, and a magnificent He Ruoque.
He Ruoque glanced at Xie Shence and Xie Di. Xie Shence and Xie Di glanced at each other, and Xie Shence said, "It's okay." ”
He Ruoque said: "I'll come." ”
Xie Shence and Xie Di retreated, and He Ruoque single-handedly rushed towards the eight horse bandits.
The bandits were silent for a while, and then furious.
It's too much of a deception! Ann dares to underestimate me so much!
Eight horse bandits screamed and brandished their scimitars and rushed towards He Ruoque.
He Ruoqi had a scimitar in his left hand and a big gun in his right hand, roared, and rushed towards the horse bandit like a tiger.
Be infuriated.
One of the horse bandits in the front swung a scimitar and slashed at He Ruoque's neck, followed by a horse bandit who swung his knife and slashed at He Ruoque's chest and abdomen, and the two horse bandits on the left one slashed his waist and one cut his horse. He Ruoque was instantly surrounded by four horsemen.
He Ruoque roared, and the big gun in his right hand swept out, knocking the two horse bandits off the back of the horse with a thunderous force, and the knife that slashed at his waist and abdomen with his left hand was separated, and then the big gun stabbed out like a poisonous tongue spitting out a letter, picking the horse bandit who cut the war horse to death.
The war horse under He Ruoque's crotch was slashed on the head by a horse bandit, and he suddenly felt pain, his front hooves jumped high, almost standing, He Ruoque could no longer control his balance, so when the war horse jumped, his feet stepped on the stirrups, his legs were forced, and he jumped off the horse. There was no one on the horse's back, and he immediately galloped out, but he fell to the ground and died after running for less than thirty feet.
He Ruoque, who landed on the ground, opened the scimitar cut down by a horse bandit, stabbed a shot into the horse's belly, and then instantly pulled out, swinging away the knife that another horse bandit had chopped in head, and then turned over and jumped up, and the scimitar in his left hand slashed down, cutting the horse bandit's head in half.
The horse bandit's war horse was stabbed a big hole in the abdomen by He Ruoque's shot, and he could no longer stand, so he fell to the side, and when he fell, the right leg of the horse bandit on his back was "creaked" and crushed, and then he heard the wailing of the horse and the screams of people.
There are three left.
It's simple.
Xie Di picked up a bow and an arrow and shot one person to death, and after He Ruoque picked two more to kill, he cut off the thumbs of the horse bandit with the broken leg and lifted it with one hand.
At this point, the twenty-man horse bandit squad was completely wiped out.
Xie Shence and Xie Di were slightly injured, and General Secretary Yang and Xu Lu were seriously injured.
The horse bandit looked at He Ruoque as if he was looking at a monster, his whole body trembled, and his lips were already purple.
Xie Shence bandaged Xu Luwei's thigh and left arm, and then removed the leather armor on General Secretary Yang with He Ruoque to check General Secretary Yang's injuries.
Mr. Yang was seriously injured, his left hand was slashed three times, the knife was bone-cut, a piece of flesh was cut off on his right arm, there were four knife wounds on his upper body, and the most serious one cut off two of his ribs. In addition, he also had a knife on his left and right thighs.
The little finger of his right hand was severed off, and only one joint remained in the ring finger.
Xie Shence was the least injured, and the two knives on his back and the one under his armpit were only skin injuries.
He Ruoque was busy looking for herbs nearby.
Mr. Yang has become a bloody man, and if the bleeding is not stopped in time, he will soon die of excessive blood loss.
He Ruoque quickly pulled back a large handful of medicinal herbs, Xie Shence looked at them carefully, took out a small part of them, called Xu Luwei over and said, "Chew it and put it on the wound on Lao Yang's back, and then wrap it in a cloth tape." ”
Xu Luwei hurriedly limped over, removed the roots of a herb, stuffed the whole plant in his mouth and chewed it vigorously. The extremely bitter taste of the herbs instantly shifted her facial features, and her mouth quickly lost sensation. However, she didn't dare to stop, or even scream, because if she couldn't show the slightest use at this time, then she would become a pure burden again, and she would be killed by Xie Shence very simply.
Xie Shence and He Ruoque rummaged through the things on the dead horse bandits, and only found some wine and cloth.
Xie Shence said to Xu Luwei: "Cut these fabrics into strips, hurry up, I want to use them." ”
Xu Luwei took the fabric in one hand, bit it with his teeth at one end, stepped on it with his foot at the other, and then cut the fabric with a knife.
Xie Shence said to Xie Di: "Sixth brother, make a fire, be fast." ”
Then Xie Shence took out a small cylinder from his lower back, poured out a curved needle, a fishhook, and some threads.
He Ruoque said to General Secretary Yang: "Bear with it." ”
Mr. Yang pulled out a smile with difficulty and said: "If it doesn't work, give me a good time, I can't continue to walk like this, and staying here will only drag down the little marquis." ”
Xie Shence didn't seem to hear this, and his whole body relaxed at this time, dealing with ...... That needle, he wants to thread the needle.
He Ruoque unscrewed the wine bag and poured the liquor on Mr. Yang's wound.
"Ahh
Mr. Yang instantly tensed his body, the liquor made his wounds feel like they had been burned, and the pain made him bite out his teeth and bleed.
The blood that had been washed out instantly gushed out in large streams.
After failing three times, Xie Shence finally threaded the silk thread into the nose of the needle, and then stitched up the wound for Mr. Yang. Once the stitches were attached, Xu Luwei applied the chewed herbs to Mr. Yang's wound, and then, with the help of Xie Di, wrapped the wound.
Xie Shence took advantage of Xu Luwei's gap to bandage General Secretary Yang, burned the scimitar red, and then handed it to Xie Di, who did not hesitate to paste the severed finger on it. Between the bloody wound and the red knife face, there was an instant "stabbing" sound and the smell of burnt flesh, Xie Di clenched his teeth, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his face, and he didn't say a word.
Xu Luwei opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, but he still didn't dare to stop the movements in his hands.
Mr. Yang's wound was treated for nearly half an hour.
It doesn't sound like a long time, but Xie Shence feels like he's spending time like a year.
Because they have been here for an hour's delay.
And the bandits fired signal arrows before engaging them. Even if the effect of the signal arrow is not ideal, Xie Shence will not have the luck of "none of the horse bandits received the signal".
Xie Shence was anxious at this time.
Under his command, time was used as much as possible. Within half an hour, He Ruoque finished interrogating the captives, General Secretary Yang was wrapped in zongzi, Xie Di packed up the horses and dry food, and made a simple stretcher between the two horses, Xu Luwei put away the herbs, and took off several pairs of intact leather armor.
Xie Shence stabbed the captive in the heart and slit his throat.
After doing all this, Xie Shence and the others continued to move forward under the leadership of He Ruoque.
It's really uncomfortable to run for your life with injuries.
In particular, the pain of the wound being squeezed and then torn makes the blood flow out continuously, and it is easy for people to lose too much blood and fall unconscious.
Xu Luwei felt like her teeth were about to be crushed. She wished she could faint at this point. The jolting on the horse's back only made the wound more painful.
However, in order to take care of Mr. Yang, this speed is already very slow.
Xie Shence knew that if he kept maintaining such a speed, then he should be caught up again before dark at the latest, and at that time, it was estimated that none of them would survive except for He Ruoque.
The Grim Reaper's scythe had already been raised, and it was almost the moment it fell.
Xie Shence missed Xie Shenwei very much at this time, missed his senior brother, and missed King Li Yan.
Of course, what he thinks about more is Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan.
His vision gradually blurred, and before he lost consciousness, Xie Shence saw two faces.
A chubby little girl reached out and handed over a piece of candy, her big bright eyes full of anticipation.
A little girl hiding behind a tall girl, with a slightly shy face with beautiful dimples.
......
In Chuzhou City on Huaiyang Road, in the Huaiyuan of the Wang family's mansion, Wang Jiehua's eyes were hollow, his face was full of tears, and Wang Qingyan had passed out.
Wang Jiehua clutched a piece of letter paper tightly in his hand, which was a letter that had been delivered urgently from the Jin capital in eight hundred miles.
Mrs. Xie's handwritten letter expressed his personal conjecture in extremely brief words: Xie Shence has no news and may be dead.
Wang Laoshangshu sat on the Taishi chair, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking. Wang Ding comforted his extremely sad wife, a Confucian general who was as gentle as jade, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of anxiety at this time.
"The matter is still inconclusive, and no one is allowed to show any emotions until they see the body."
Wang Laoshangshu's calm and powerful words resounded in the hall.
"The old man will use all his strength in the north to find him."
"Or his corpse."
......
In the Weihou Mansion in Jindu, Xie Sheng came to the old lady's study and asked, "Isn't there any news yet?" ”
The old lady shook her head.
It's been five days, and it's been five days since the news came from the northwest.
Xie Shence didn't know whether he was alive or dead at this time.
Jiang Qi used the goshawk to send a letter, which completely broke the peace of the Xie family.
In the letter, Jiang Qi directly expressed his worries, after more than ten days, there was still no one returning from the direction of Daba City, and the cavalry seemed to have disappeared, and even the caravan had disappeared. He felt that Xie Shence and his party should have had an accident.
In this way, the letter sent by the goshawk illustrates the fact that Jiang Qi has used a large number of facts to prove it before writing the letter, and this accident may be a real accident.
In other words, at present, in the spy network in the northwest, Xie Shence has not been found.
The old lady entered the palace three times in five days, and went to the Tiqi Division once.
Xie Shenwei walked in and said, "I'm ready, I'll leave today." ”
Xie Shang said: "In that case, go and talk to your grandmother and mother." ”
Xie Shenwei nodded and went out.
Xie Sheng said to the old lady: "Father, please forgive me, is it Your Majesty's ......?"
"It's not him, it's someone else."
"Who could that be? Tuoba? ”
The old lady waved her hand tiredly and said, "Now you can't be sure whether Feng Zhi is alive or dead, so don't mess up your own proportions." I already know the Ti Cai, this trip Wen Zhao to the north, the Ti Cai will unconditionally obey all commands. ”
Xie Sheng lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "I don't trust Tiqi. ”
Don't trust Tiqi, and in the end still don't trust the emperor.
The old lady didn't care, and said, "Let's look at it." ”
Xie Sheng was silent again, then bowed and retreated.
Xie Shenwei and Princess Jinyang first went to the Buddha Hall, but they didn't see the old lady, but only got a sentence from the old grandmother.
"But let it go."
Then the husband and wife came to Xie Shang's courtyard again, and Sima's spirit was not very good, so he only said "do your best" and let the husband and wife come out.
Princess Jinyang sent Xie Shenwei to the door, tied the childish tail crown for him, and said: "If you go to the north to find your uncle, it must be dangerous, and you should think more about everything." After you went, there was still grandpa, father-in-law, mother-in-law and me in the family. ”
After a pause, Princess Jinyang said again: "She must be extremely sad over there, you should care more about her." ”
After Xie Shenwei finished speaking, he turned to get on his horse and rode forward with a blank face.
Princess Jinyang was still standing in front of the steps, watching him leave.
Xie Shenwei stopped his horse, turned back to her and said, "Don't be too tired. ”
Princess Jinyang smiled.
Xie Shenwei stopped talking and rode away.
