Chapter 336: It Rained
No matter how unwilling Kong Zhiyuan was, he had to instruct his most powerful subordinates to take on the heavy responsibility of welcoming relatives - the heavy responsibility is relatively speaking, for Kong Zhiyuan, welcoming relatives is just an easy thing, and there is only one thing that can be called a "heavy task" in his eyes, and that is the gatekeeper.
Hold the last month's pass at this end of the bridge.
Originally, he had written a letter in advance to apply for returning to Kongcheng with the welcoming team, but soon after sending it, he sent someone to chase the letter back, just because he realized that he had made a mistake that almost ruined his good future: escorting Miss Dijia to Kongcheng was said to be a good order from Master Kong Biao, but this was a private request, and his request to return to Kongcheng early was official business, and he slacked off official business on the grounds of private affairs, isn't this dereliction of duty and personal gain? If this reaches the ears of the old guys in the family, maybe what kind of right and wrong will be born!
Although I am unwilling in my heart, compared with the interests of the rest of my life, it has to be said that it is a huge bargain to endure the unhappiness for a while.
"Hmph, look how you still procrastinate!" Watching the carriages gradually fade out of view, Kong Zhiyuan vented all the unhappiness in his heart on the belated convoy in Guanzhou, as early as when Diyin and the others arrived, he had already ordered to go down, and he must send people to Kong City as much as possible.
"You don't have to worry about the bumps on the road, let go of the pace and hurry, it must be in two days - no, a day and a half, I need you to spend a day and a half to complete the three-day journey, don't delay the happy event, if you make Kong Cheng angry with me because of the slow road, you must know in your hearts what will happen!"
Thinking back to what he said, Kong Zhiyuan thought that there was nothing he was not doing in place, especially when he remembered that he listened to his words with a dignified face, he was even more proud in his heart: There is never anything wrong with bullying the soft and being afraid of the hard, as long as the fist is hard, you say that the is sweet, and there will be people who nod behind you and praise "wise"!
Facts have proved that as Kong Zhiyuan thought, the team to welcome relatives went all the way, and after leaving Guanzhou, they quickly rushed to Kongcheng, and the speed was not known how many times faster than when they were in Guanzhou.
Fortunately, since Kong Zhiyuan ordered to hurry up, he naturally made some preparations, such as the configuration of one person and two horses, such as getting an extra carriage and letting those maids who followed get on the car and gallop...... Otherwise, neither man nor horse can resist this consumption.
Dugu Duan, She Qing, and Wen arrived in Raozhou as early as two days ago, they did not come across the bridge, in fact, this bridge across the moving river is not for ordinary people to walk, this is the official road, unless the government or the caravan pays a certain amount of fees to pass, the rest of the people can only take the rest of the winding paths.
After separating from She Qing and Wen at the border of Guan and Rao, Dugu did not make a short stay, because he was worried that he might delay the best interception after taking a detour for a while.
However, when he chased along the official road in the direction of Kongcheng all morning and still found no trace, he confirmed that the original team to welcome his relatives arrived a little later than expected, and the team should not be in front of him, but should be behind him.
Knowing this, he simply didn't rush back, and walked slowly back along the official road, and took advantage of the gap in the middle to think about how to "grab relatives" to be more appropriate.
It's not that She Qing didn't help him think of ideas along the way, but because Dugu and She Qing couldn't say a few words along the way, She Qing naturally couldn't say a few words to him with a shy face: "I think about how to rob the kiss, why don't you ask me how to rob it?" ”
If Dugu doesn't ask, how should She Qing answer? When they were about to separate, She Qing repeatedly knocked on the side and asked, but Dugu Duan couldn't understand the truth, and in the end She Qing had to give up, and went to the Kun and Rao borders with Wen Gu pretending to be a "how to rob relatives".
Is this to blame Duguduan? can't blame him entirely, after all, he is not good at speaking, and secondly, in addition to killing, he has never taken the initiative in other aspects...... Instead, he wondered: Why did these two people see each other so much? I don't think about any ideas for myself......
The more I have no clue, the more I am caught off guard.
After walking on the side of the official road for less than an hour, he realized that the horse he was riding was a little uneasy, and after listening carefully, he soon determined that the dense sound of wheels rolling and the sound of horseshoes falling on the ground that was approaching step by step was the welcoming procession.
It's just that for some unknown reason, it seems that the speed of this team seems to be much faster.
Estimating that it would take about half a cup of tea to get to him, Dugu Duan looked around and found that there was no place to hide in the open space, so he had to drive away the horse and walk directly to the middle of the road, hoping that someone would take the initiative to stop the car after seeing him.
Not long after, the galloping convoy really got closer, looking farther behind them, Dugu Duan didn't find any pursuers, and he was even more puzzled by the speed of this team of people so desperately.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, but the other party had no intention of slowing down and stopping, Dugu Duan sighed lightly, took off the "10,000 people" long knife behind his back with his backhand, held his breath and concentrated, and silently recited the words that he had thought about for a long time in his heart several times, and after making sure that he could finish speaking without interruption in one breath, he opened his mouth and shouted:
"This road is my ......"
"Death to those who stand in the way!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a roar from someone in the distant team, and in the next moment, nearly a hundred arrows were thrown at his place like a rain of locusts, and they were bound to kill him with one blow.
Wipe! With a curse in his heart, he immediately waved his knife to resist, and danced a long knife impenetrable, and after a few breaths, he heard the sound of clanging arrows hitting the long knife, which shook his arms to a numb.
Fortunately, he was not facing thousands of people, and this group of people did not slow down and throw far away, so it was inevitable that there would be deviations in the head, so he blocked this wave of attacks relatively easily.
"Hack him!" Seeing that Dugu was not shot to death, the person in charge designated by Kong Zhiyuan, who was in charge of welcoming his relatives, was only slightly shocked in his heart, and did not show too much panic. He drew the knife in his hand, and after swinging it at Dugu from afar, ten horsemen accelerated out of the rear of the team and came towards the target.
Is there an end? Dugu was extremely depressed in his heart, and he didn't allow himself to finish the words he had worked hard for a long time, and he kept attacking wave after wave, did he really think he was a bully?
The feeling of unhappiness became more and more unhappy, which made Dugu fierce - he had already said that he would not rob his relatives, but where was Hua Hate Liu willing to believe in himself? insisted on stuffing this matter to himself, but now it is good, the other party not only did not buy it, but like a fierce beast that had not seen blood for several years, he was about to cut himself with a knife!
It's just too deceitful!
"Ahh Hua Hate Liu was accompanying Princess Yuqing to buy rouge, but for some reason she suddenly sneezed.
According to his original plan, after dividing the rest of the people, it is rare to have free time to accompany Yang Jian and Princess Yuqing out to go shopping, thinking that the two of them should be happy. However, unexpectedly, Yang Jian didn't accept his affection at all, maybe he was still angry about the fact that Hua Hate Liu didn't let her go to rob her relatives, so she only shouted the lantern and was not afraid to go out to buy sugar gourds.
Princess Yuqing originally wanted to go with them, but considering that Kuroko didn't like to go out very much, and in this case, only Hua Hate Liu was left alone, and no one cared for him, so she had to rely on him and let him accompany him to wander around the street at will.
"What's wrong?" Princess Yuqing put down the finely carved rouge box in her hand and asked with concern.
"I didn't ...... It's just a little choking...... I'm a little bit outside. Hua Hagoliu smiled awkwardly, waved his hand to leave him alone, and ran to the outside of the rouge shop first to breathe two breaths of fresh air before feeling much more comfortable.
"At this time, I think that She Qing and Wen have already met Senior Brother Mo, and Dugu should have already finished robbing his relatives, right?" Hua Hate Liu looked up at the slightly gloomy sky, and guessed in his heart.
The sky in Guanzhou is still cloudy, but it is already raining in Raozhou.
Rain of blood.
On this straight official road leading to Kongcheng, there was already a heavy rain in one of them, but the scope covered by this rain was really limited, only a few zhang before and after, except for one person standing with a sword, the rest of the men and horses in armor fell to the ground - that is, they fell, and there were different "falls", some fell down, some fell on their backs, some fell on their sides, and some lay down...... But more often than not, they can't see how they fall, because their upper body is obviously falling, but the lower body is not far away, and it is really impossible to say how they fall according to the posture of which half.
In addition to the man upside down, the horse is also upside down, and because the size of the horse is much larger than that of a person, after being killed by Duguduan, the blood that flows out naturally is a lot more...... Judging from the experience of Dugu's killing people in the past, most of the blood on this road should be horse blood.
Of course, just because the road is wet doesn't mean it's raining, because everyone can throw a basin of water on the ground and point it and say, "Look, it's raining." The reason why it has rained is that it is not only wet on the ground, but also wet on a slightly higher ground.
Dugu Duan's whole person seemed to be drenched with blood from top to bottom, blood flowed down his cheeks on the top of his head, and the hand holding the knife led the blood that flowed along the blade to the ground drop by drop, that is, his shoulders, his placket, his back, his clothes inside and out, up and down, were soaked in blood, wet and sticking to the strong muscles.
The groom, who was in charge of transporting the dowry, and the groom who drove the carriage, had long been running away with a roar, and now there were only four horses and two carts left on the spot, and two of the four horses pulled a carriage, and the intermittent gasps of the carriage could be heard.
