Chapter 445: Peach Blossom Banquet Eight
An hour later, that is, in the middle of the hour, an inconspicuous carriage slowly came out of the three Hu companions where the Wei Mansion was located.
After walking a few streets, there were still two streets away from General Lin's mansion, and I don't know when there were more people on the street where there were not many pedestrians. If you look closely, you will see that some of them are following the carriage intentionally or unintentionally.
When the carriage came to the vicinity of a stone archway in the center of the street, suddenly a crazy ox cart came running from behind.
A stout man who followed closely behind the ox cart shouted, "Let go, everyone, the ox is suddenly crazy, don't collide." The strong man seemed to have been thrown out of the cart by a cow that had suddenly gone mad, and that was why he was behind the bull's head.
The sudden occurrence caused people on the street to panic. At this time, the street, which is not wide, is in chaos. The pedestrians scattered and fled, and three or four people rushed to the carriage, as if they were using the carriage as a shield, urging the carriage to move forward quickly.
The coachman who drove the carriage was an ordinary-looking man in his thirties, and he immediately panicked when he saw this. He jumped out of the carriage and grabbed the reins to keep the carriage in order, and tried to swing his whip and rush forward.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly found that a hand-pushed three-wheeled wooden cart in front of his car had fallen down in the place just past the archway.
A pile of firewood and grass that had been placed on it blocked the road, and on the ground next to the trolley, a man was holding his legs and grinning there, looking like he was in unbearable pain.
One car and one person, just blocking the road.
Next to the car, or next to the person, it is no problem for a single person to pass, but if it is a car, it is absolutely impossible.
Seeing this, the coachman pulled the reins with a clever pull. There was a mad oxcart approaching behind him, and he definitely couldn't go back. But there was a small businessman who fell down in front of him, and he ran over on a horse, not to mention whether he could rush away from the trolley, but at least he had to hit and run over the man who had injured his leg, and now it was really a dilemma.
In the midst of this hesitation, I heard a click overhead, and the pedestrians on the street ran faster.
Some people who are far away see that they can't hit themselves, and they are worried about the people near the archway, so they shout: "Everyone run, the roof of the archway is about to fall." ”
At this time, the people near the carriage were even more panicked, running in all directions, but the carriage, which was already difficult to move, did not dare to move, for fear of accidentally hitting the pedestrians next to it.
Seeing that the heavy stone plaque on the top of the archway smashed down towards the carriage, suddenly several figures flashed quickly, and while quickly throwing the people next to the carriage to the side of the road, the whole carriage pushed it to the side with all its might.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and the entire roof of the archway had fallen.
The carriage was not hit, but the horses that pulled it were crushed under a two-meter-long plaque. Two other pedestrians who couldn't dodge, and a man in black who came out to save people, were all scraped to the ground.
In addition, there were several pedestrians who were hit by scattered stones, and stones that were thrown down and splashed not far away. Immediately, there was a wail.
"Four princes," in the midst of the uproar, one of the black-clothed men who came out to save people had the loudest voice. His voice straightened, and he shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry, the fourth prince is still in the car,"
This voice suddenly disappeared the smile on the face of the person drinking tea in a second-story building next to him. If there is someone who knows him, he will call out his name, Liu Lin.
Liu Lin is the prince's confidant, and he is responsible for this matter.
The four princes, it should be Wei Qingluan sitting in the car, how could it be the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu?
What Liu Lin didn't expect was that with a voice of "I'm fine, save people." The fourth prince followed the voice and walked out of the half-dumped carriage.
"The four princes have their own protection." I don't know who shouted, and immediately the people who gathered around shouted: "The four princes are the real dragon protectors." ”
After being stunned for a moment, Liu Lin's face suddenly darkened. He knew it was a bad thing today.
Thinking of the prince's order before he came out, he immediately turned his head to look at a man beside him who also changed his face.
This man was the one who was in charge of keeping an eye on the dynamics of the Wei Mansion before, and notified everyone to act after seeing Wei Qingluan's carriage come out.
Seeing himself, the man swallowed a mouthful of saliva before saying, "Head, I did watch the woman's carriage come out of the alley," and he stopped abruptly as he said this.
It came out of the alley, but he really didn't see if the carriage came out of the Wei family.
"Either I'll go and see if there's a carriage behind me."
As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Liu Lin: "When did you go to the three alleys?" "Even if there is still a carriage, will Wei Qingluan come over when he sees the situation here?
Besides, if you miss the opportunity, you can't do it again.
But it's clear that the original plan didn't have any loopholes.
Today's matter has already been decided, but it was only assigned to these people last night. In order not to startle the snake, Liu Lin also instructed the people who did these things to act when the time was approaching.
But it was supposed to be the carriage that Wei Qingluan was riding, but the people inside suddenly became the fourth prince Xuanyuan Che, obviously something was wrong. What's worse is that the four princes were not only unscathed, but were also shouted by the common people in the street for words like the real dragon body protector. Although I am afraid that there is only the instruction and instruction of the four princes, if it is spread by the common people, it will also be disadvantageous to the prince.
"I first arrived," the scolded man also knew the serious consequences of the bad prince's matter, and as he spoke, he knelt directly on the ground and said: "Three alleys lead directly to two streets, and I have patrolled before and after, but I have not noticed anyone entering or leaving. ”
Although the alley is short, if the fourth prince has already noticed the movement on the prince's side, it is not a problem to do what he wants to do.
Now that things have changed abruptly, I know that any further delay will only make the prince more passive. Liu Lin put down the teacup, stood up and said, "You immediately think of withdrawing our people from the street and destroying the traces." ”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave. This matter should be reported to the prince as soon as possible.
But after walking a few steps, Liu Lin stood up again, and said to the man who just wanted to stand up: "Also, send someone to inform General Lin's mansion." With that, he hurried away.
The man stood up, his face bitter. After following the prince for a long time, he knows what the prince will do with those who have not completed the task, and he is afraid that he will have no way to live. But when he thought of his relatives at home, he gritted his teeth and walked out.
It doesn't matter if he dies, I just hope that he can make meritorious contributions now, so as not to affect his family.
