Chapter 138: It's a game
"It's a game!"
Li Dang continued: "A game of life and death, if Cai Gongzi wants to live, he can only wear this clothes, and there is no other way. ”
Cai Zhang was silent, he really couldn't think of any other way to escape.
Li Dang let his subordinates build a human wall and surrounded Cai Zhang. Cai Zhang sat on the stump and changed into this groom's clothes.
"Wen has already put on this dress, but I don't know where the bride is?"
Cai Zhang smiled bitterly, he put on his clothes, touched the golden wings on both sides of his head, lifted the wide water sleeves, and really had the style of the groom official between his gestures.
This dress was originally tailored to Li Kang's figure, this Cai Zhang and Li Kang are similar in figure, wearing clothes and a putou, it fits very well.
Li Dang ignored Cai Zhang's mocking words, he asked someone to bring a tall horse, and he said to Cai Zhang: "Cai Gongzi, you remember, as soon as you get on the horse, you must first gallop towards the ferry, and then turn the horse's head, and go wherever you want." ”
"To the ferry?"
Cai Zhang thought to himself, that's not a dead end, I won't ride a horse down the dock and tread water.
"Yes, run to the ferry first, don't look back, remember, don't go in the wrong direction, it's all my people here, otherwise, you'll just die an ugly death."
Li dared to say the word "death", the upper eyelid of Cai Zhang's left eye jumped wildly unconsciously, and he said uneasily: "In Xia Wentao, it's really not my younger brother Cai Zhang, if Wen is lucky enough to escape today, will Imperial Doctor Li not care about today's affairs?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you are Cai Zhang or Wen Zhang. If you can escape today, you won't come to trouble Li in the future. Li is really too lazy to look for you. ”
Li Kang's meaning is already very clear, and he wants to show it to Cai Zhang. He has already decided that he is Cai Zhang, and the rest is only a question of following his father's surname or his mother's surname.
Li Kang's welcoming procession was slowly coming from the New Song Gate, and on both sides of the road were pedestrians watching the bustle and avoiding Li Kang's team.
"Dead people, dead people, someone was killed!"
Cai Han's carriage driver, who was knocked unconscious by Gao Yu, finally woke up at this time, and as soon as he sat up from the carriage, he saw Cai Han lying beside him like mud. As soon as he sniffed, the coachman knew that Cai Han had died of anger. He hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, cried and ran.
At this time, the carriage tied to the willow tree on the bank of the Bianhe River unexpectedly untied its reins, rushed towards the main road, and crashed straight into Li Kang's welcoming procession.
The cordon sounded, and the greeting team was in chaos.
The knights who were guarding quickly gathered and lined up neatly, and flashed their blades in unison. Vigilantly watched Cai Han's carriage.
"Dead, dead, killed!"
The coachman was still crying, he couldn't understand what Gao Yu said to him, and Gao Yu was dressed strangely. So I decided that Gao Yu was a fan.
Passers-by on both sides of the road knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran back and forth to avoid it, and it became a pot of porridge from the official road to the Hongqiao ferry. The male hurriedly grabbed the female, and the older hurriedly grabbed the young. I'm afraid of being separated in the chaos.
"It's your chance, it's time to get on the horse. Remember to run to the ferry! ”
Li Dang gave instructions to Cai Zhang.
Cai Zhang, who was dressed in a groom's dress, was helped by Gao Yu to the high-headed horse.
Before Cai Zhang knew what was going on, Gao Yu raised a whip and hit the horse's buttocks.
"Whew!"
The horse suddenly galloped forward with its hooves raised, and the speed was very fast, and the dust flew all the way.
Although Cai Zhang was a little proficient in riding, he was still shocked into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly leaned down, holding the reins in his hands, and his legs stepped on the stirrups.
"Kill!"
Gao Yu brandished a bright machete, and led a group of people to shout and cheer behind Cai Zhang.
……
The archer Nanquan had been looking for the groom Li Kang's whereabouts, only to find that this might be the last chance to make a move when the carriage collided and the cavalry was on alert.
Unable to find Li Kang, the three of Nanquan aimed at the two big sedan chairs, they felt that if they couldn't kill Li Kang, they must kill Li Kang's bride in the big red sedan chair, which could be regarded as an explanation to Cai Han.
However, in his heart, Nanquan was already hesitating about whether to kill Li Kang or not.
Several guards of the Cai Mansion with a meaty face were holding machetes in their hands, and they were standing beside Nanquan.
The companion who pretended to go back to the barracks still had no news, and Nanquan had a faint bad feeling, could it be that his brother was discovered by Cai Han and was killed by Cai Han.
The guards of Cai's Mansion were eyeing him, Nan Quan's mood was very bad, and he was even thinking that if he and the others shot Li Kang, would it be the three of them who would fall next?
Nanquan believes that as long as Li Dang does not die, and he and others still have use value, Cai Han may not embarrass himself.
At this time, Nanquan didn't know that Cai Han was dead, and his body was in the galloping carriage.
Let's kill Li Kang's bride first!
Nanquan pulled the full string and was about to launch the sedan chair.
Suddenly, a guard beside him stopped Nanquan's aiming movement, he pointed in one direction and said, "Quick, look over here!" ”
Nanquan followed the prestige, and he saw Cai Zhang, who was dressed in a groom's dress, riding a horse and galloping.
The three archers didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and under the threat of Cai's guards, they could only turn the crosshair and aim their arrows at Cai Zhang on the horse.
"Quick, quick!"
After waiting for a morning, the impatient guards put knives on the necks of the three Nanquan.
How can there be such coercion and intimidation to buy a murderer, everything is clear, the three of them looked at each other sadly, and they all knew that they were tricked by Cai Han.
"Shoot quickly, or I'll kill you immediately." The guards said fiercely.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Nanquan and they took out arrows, and one by one the arrows were tempered by the poison, drawing a thin green line and flying in the direction of Cai Zhang.
Cai Zhang listened to the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air in his ears, and he cowered in the saddle, how dare he move.
It's strange to say that each of these arrows grazed Cai Zhang's body and the horse under his crotch, but they didn't hurt anyone and horses at all.
Since it is a game, of course, it is necessary to continue to pretend, Gao Yu Gao Yu brandished a machete and continued to chase after Cai Zhang. Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound, and long arrows kept shooting towards Gao Yu.
"Is this to assassinate or protect someone?"
Gao Yu stopped, didn't wait to think deeply, and hurriedly used his knife to open the long arrow.
Although the long arrow was blocked by Gao Yu, it was castrated, and it was inserted diagonally into the thigh of one of Gao Yu's subordinates behind him, only to see that subordinate screamed, foaming at the mouth, and fell to the ground.
"Ah, this arrow is poisonous!" Gao Yu's heart was pounding.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but a few long arrows lost their crosshairs and flew in the direction of Gao Yu and his group.
Gao Yu understood, the archery shooter didn't want to hurt Cai Zhang, who was pretending to be the groom, and saw that a few more of his men were killed by arrows, Gao Yu didn't want to increase the casualties, he saw that Cai Zhang was almost at the ferry, and hurriedly stopped his men, and shouted in a strange Western Xia language: "The wind is tight, retreat quickly!" ”
A group of people hurriedly retreated, jumped into the Bianhe River, and escaped to the big boat downstream that Li Dang had arranged to pick up. (To be continued......)
