Chapter 108: All the Way West (3)
Two giant trees, one in front and one in the back, blocked the way to the road, and the group was surrounded in a small space, and then a rain of arrows poured down!
Fortunately, these people are all experienced, and after Yang Jian shouted "alert", they were ready! The horses formed a circle on the periphery, and the people were in the circle, and the first round of arrows rained down, and most of the feathered arrows were blocked by the horses, but the people did not suffer much damage! Immediately afterwards, there were two rounds of arrow rain, and the twenty horses on the periphery were suddenly seriously damaged! The rest of the horses, except for one of the frosts, immediately neighed a few times, and suddenly scattered!
As soon as Shuang'er saw that there were no horses to cover, she immediately shouted: "Senior brother, you take five people to rush to the left, and Zi and five people to rush to the right!" Seeing that the other party was only more than twenty steps away from her, Shuang'er naturally thought of rushing forward and fighting with the other party!
The two listened to the order and rushed out with their own people!
It's not so easy to fire an arrow in a dense woods! Because the trees can easily block the direction of the feathered arrows, the opponent's archers must follow the fixed route that they have already planned, and they will not have as much lethality as expected. And the twelve people who rushed up were all strong martial artists, their movements were agile, and under the dodge, they were injured even less, plus they were also fast, and when they rushed to the front and fought with the other party, the twelve people were only shot dead and two wounded!
When Shuang'er saw it, she immediately ordered the rest of the people to rush forward, and she also pulled Tian Fan to follow, firstly to prevent him from escaping, and secondly, to prevent him from being injured by mistake.
The scuffle has begun!
In the mountains and forests on both sides, there were about twenty people, and when they saw that Yang Jian and Ziyi were approaching, they hurriedly abandoned their bows and drew their swords to meet them!
If the other party's more than forty people are sheep, then Yang Jian's twelve people are a pack of wolves! Especially Yang Jian, this person's swordsmanship is very powerful, there are still five steps away from the other party, he shook his hand, the sword flew out, the sword was illuminated by the torch, like a meteor, a bright light passed, and immediately pierced a person.
The man screamed, and before he could fall to the ground, Yang Jian had already arrived at his side, grabbed the hilt of the sword exposed outside his body with his right hand, raised his foot and kicked the man to the ground, dancing the sword into a ball of blood-colored white light, and rushed towards another enemy!
When this person saw Yang Jian's move, he immediately realized that he was not the opponent, and when he saw him rushing towards him, he immediately raised his sword and stabbed directly, using a lose-lose move! How could Yang Jian lose both with him, the long sword was just a simple challenge, and the opponent's sword was picked up, followed by a sword to seal his throat!
Xiang Siyi's kung fu over there is also excellent, and it doesn't look worse than Yang Jian! With such two tigers, a group of sheep can become wolves, let alone a pack of wolves themselves?
In a short time, the other party had already lost more than a dozen people, and the rest of the people shouted, threw down more than a dozen corpses and turned to flee.
By the time Shuang'er pulled Tian Fan to the battlefield, the battle was over! This battle really comes fast and goes faster!
After counting the dead and wounded, it was found that six people were killed and four were injured, and half of the combat strength was lost! Damn archers, Frost cursed in her heart!
Putting away her irritability, she said to Yang Jian: "Senior brother, please take a few people to collect the scattered horses!" Without horses, it will be difficult for us to walk in the future! ”
Yang Jian unexpectedly did not go immediately, but took a closer look at Shuang'er's veiled face, shook his teeth vigorously, and then nodded, turned around and led the three people into the distance.
Shuang'er looked at her dead brother, shook her head slightly, and walked to the location where she was attacked without saying a word! At this time, the place was covered with the corpses of more than a dozen dead horses, and the ground was already stained red with the blood of the horses! Frost's horses had probably seen the tragic fate of their kind, snorting uneasily, their hooves clucking and clattering in a chaotic pace, and neighing from time to time. …,
Frost placed her right hand on the horse's nose, gently hugged its huge head, and whispered in the horse's ear, and after a while, the horse finally quieted down!
Tian Fan also followed to this location, and when he saw the horse corpse on the ground, he suddenly felt a little uneasy! I don't know why, this feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger!
Looking at the snow on the ground that still hadn't melted, and looking at the weight on the horse's corpse, he suddenly shouted, "Not good! ”
At the same time, Shuang'er also shouted: "It's not good! ”
The two looked at each other and asked at the same time, "What do you say is bad?" ”
At this moment, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and then said at the same time: "You say it first!" ”
The two looked at each other, and suddenly, laughed at the same time! Three times in a row, speaking the same language at the same time, this probability is really not big! But this is also the case, the tension in the hearts of the two has been diluted a lot!
After laughing for a while, Frost stopped first, and she said, "You speak first!" ”
Tian Fan didn't fight anymore, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I'm thinking, the other party's rounds of bows and arrows are just afraid that they don't want to kill our people, but want to kill and injure our horses!" Of course, it would be better if we could kill all of them together! But I saw that although the other party was numerous, his skills were much worse than ours, and he made a slight contact, and left immediately, so I judged that the other party had deliberately sent these men who were not very skillful, but who could shoot our horses with bows and arrows! It's winter, the snow from last year hasn't melted yet, and there's still a little ice and snow on the ground, so if we walk on two legs, it's hard to get far! It is estimated that we will not be able to reach a place where we can rest before dawn, and when the time comes, the other party will only need to chase us on horseback, which is extremely convenient! ”
Shuang'er glanced at Tian Fan deeply, and said, "Not bad!" There are many mountains on both sides, and in winter, it is difficult for the sun to shine, so it is cold! Because of this, it is difficult for us to find a family to rest. If there were horses, we would have been able to get out of this place tomorrow morning, but now there are no horses, and this place is in the middle of this road, and we can't find anyone before dawn, either forward or backward! The other party's plan is poisonous! It's trying to trap us! From this, I judged that the other party was not a powerful person, so I came up with this trick! They're somewhere ahead, recuperating and waiting for us! ”
Tian Fan asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?" ”
Shuang'er said without hesitation: "What else can I do?" According to the original plan, it is important to hurry! Knowing the other party's plan, we just need to make a corresponding response! I'll just let Senior Brother and Siyi explore the way ahead. ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "That's all it takes!" "Instead of waiting here to die, it's better to hurry up! In this weather, it is warmer to move, if you stay honestly, even if you will not be frozen to death, there is no suspense about frostbite! Once you are sick, at this moment when there are no reinforcements, no riding tools, and there are pursuers, you will definitely die!
After waiting for a while, I still didn't see Yang Jian and the other four come back! Shuang'er's heart couldn't help but be clouded. Just as she was about to ask someone to look for her, she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves!
After a while, Yang Jian came back on horseback! However, he was the only one, and the other three did not come back!
Shuang'er couldn't help but greet him, and under the light of the torch, he saw Yang Jian covered in blood, with a feather arrow on his back, riding on a horse, and his body was even more shaky!
She hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the reins of the horse, and Yang Jian saw that it was her, grinned, and then fell down to the horse.
Shuang'er hurriedly gently supported him.
As soon as Yang Jian's feet landed, he immediately grabbed Shuang'er's shoulders and said eagerly: "Senior sister, go quickly!" Poisonous dragons, poisonous dragons are nearby! The words were a little hurried, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. …,
After hearing this, Shuang'er was stunned for a moment, and she asked in shock, "Poisonous dragon?" Why is he here? Tian Fan could hear the fear in her words, his voice was sharp, and his speech trembled. He was very curious, who is this "poisonous dragon"? Can you scare Frost like this?
Shuang'er believes that if she meets Deng Zhan, with her grandfather's friendship with Deng Zhan, she will not be harmed. But if it's a poisonous dragon...... I will never survive, and I will be humiliated before I die!
Yang Jian lowered his head in shame, and didn't say anything for a long time!
Shuang'er shook his shoulder and said eagerly, "Senior brother, tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
Yang Jian looked up at her, his lips moved for a long time, and he sighed heavily, but he still didn't say anything!
Shuang'er was anxious, she said, "Senior brother, you said it!" ”
At this time, Yang Jian didn't dare to look at her anymore, he was ashamed and embarrassed, and after a while, he said, "Senior sister, I'm sorry!" ”
Frost was like being struck by lightning, and in an instant, she finally understood! Yang Jian, her senior brother, is the traitor she has never found! This time she went to Xuzhou, among the people she brought, except for Yang Jian, Lin'er, and Yang Banzhu, the rest of the people were her subordinates, and they were still loyal subordinates. Lin'er is her own maid, and Yang is her own housekeeper, so you can rule out suspicion! She did suspect Yang Jian, but Yang Jian was her senior brother, a senior brother who grew up together since childhood, how could she not betray herself?
She struggled to stabilize her emotions so that she didn't get out of control. After two deep breaths, she asked in a steady voice, "Senior brother, I want to know why!" ”
Yang Jian's voice was like a dream, and he said, "Why? Because, your father wants to marry you to that little brute of Wei Zheng! ”
Now the frost is panicking! In any case, she couldn't hide the panic in her heart, and asked tremblingly, "How do you know?" ”
Yang Jian said: "I overheard what your brother and your father said!" ”
Shuang'er suppressed the panic in her heart, adjusted her tone, and said indifferently: "But, this is not the reason for your betrayal?" Senior brother, you and I grew up together, and I want to know why! ”
Yang Jian smiled, laughing miserably, he looked at Shang Yi stupidly, and said, "Senior sister, don't you know that I like you?" ”
Shuang'er was stunned when she heard this, and after a while, she nodded.
Yang Jian continued to smirk, "If Tian Fan is captured by you, the importance of Wei Zheng will be even more obvious, so what chance do I have?" I've been practicing martial arts hard since I was a child, just to be able to smile at you, just to make a good impression in front of your father, but what did I get? Nothing! ”
Saying this, the excitement caused him to cough violently, and another mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued: "I hate, why am I not born in a family? If I were in a family, your father would have looked at me differently! ”
He pointed at Tian Fan viciously and continued: "If there is no him, I can still wait, I can still behave well, and strive to overwhelm the surnamed Wei!" But once Tian Fan is ...... by you So, I can't let you succeed! Yes, the matter of your hijacking of Tian Fan, as well as the predetermined return route, I told the Liangzhou Branch! It's just that I didn't expect the surname Yan to be so untrustworthy and so untrustworthy! I promised that I wouldn't hurt you, but ...... He actually sent a poisonous dragon to lead the team! ”
Sighing heavily, he said, "Senior sister, leave me alone, go quickly!" You take Tian Fan and leave quickly, the rest of us are scattered and escape, there should still be a glimmer of life! ”
Tian Fan listened to it for a long time, and when he contacted the information he heard last time, he could be regarded as having some understanding of the whole thing, and it was a dog-headed show of love and hate!
He shook his head and said disdainfully: "I said Yang Jian, I think you are usually a very smart person, why are you confused?" ”…,
Yang Jian said angrily: "You ......"
Tian Fan interrupted him, and then said, "I kind of understand! Your sister Shuang'er is not at peace at home, well, looking at it like this, it is about her grandfather and her who are the same group, and her father and brother are the same group! Her father was at odds with her because of her mother's death, which I can understand. But I don't understand why her grandfather and father don't get along!
"Now it seems that I, Tian Fan, have become a bargaining chip for them to compete for something, right? I've figured it out these days, and you're arresting me just because I can make money and have a good grasp of how to make spirits and soap, because you don't look like some warlord's subordinates, and it's not my assistant lord who threatens you!
"The Wei Zheng you mentioned, if I guessed correctly, should be in the same family as Wei San, who had a little unpleasant trouble with me in Xuzhou, that is to say, the Wei family is your employer! But it sounds like the Wei family is not just your employer, right? The connection between you seems to be deeper, you still have to rely on his family to do certain things, and they have to rely on you to do certain things!
"Yes, if I am captured by Shuang'er and returned to the Wei family, after the Wei family gets the manufacturing method of spirits and soap, the Wei family's influence on you will indeed increase, and the possibility of Wei Zheng marrying your junior sister will also increase! But you forgot one, I was caught by your junior sister! If I guessed correctly, once I am sent to the Wei family by your junior sister, your junior sister's status in her family will also rise, and her right to speak will also rise! Hehe, that is to say, even if your junior sister's father and brother want to marry her to the Wei family, who has more influence on her family, you have to ask your junior sister what she means, and see if the people in her family agree! ”
Looking at the two of them, Tian Fan said, "Do you understand?" I said you're confused, is there something wrong? ”
Yang Jian recovered for a long time, and said frustratedly: "Senior sister, I, I...... I'm confused! ”
Tian Fan didn't wait for Shuang'er to speak, he said: "Don't chirp crookedly, hurry up and run away!" I can hear it, if that poisonous dragon catches me, he will definitely not kill me, but he will definitely bring me to Liangzhou! Compared to Liangzhou, I still go to Hedong better! Hehe, I said why is Wei San so crazy, it turns out that he has something to rely on! Hmph, next time I see him, I'll definitely slap him in the face! ”
