2. The attack on the post station (II)
This sudden movement immediately attracted the attention of the post station.
Most of the miscellaneous servants who went up to the post and took care of the cattle here were from military families, and after rigorous training, they were completely worthy of the regular army. As soon as they heard the shouts of the military masters of the inner government, they stopped their respective activities and gathered from all directions with the guys who took advantage of them.
Surrounding the distraught young man and his restless high-headed horse, they looked around, but found no suspicious sight. Several of the guards were alert and had already gone upstairs to find the source of the things that fell from the sky.
Xue Yi's hand holding the knife trembled a little, he didn't know what the origin of this General Li who couldn't figure out the situation in front of him, since someone wanted to be unfavorable to him, why bother waiting for him to stop at the station.
Now it's okay, I've met in person, and I've said it, if he encounters an accident here, he will be involved with Feng Chao and even Master Su.
Adults will naturally be fine, but it will be difficult for them to say......
"General, please dismount!"
He hurried up to meet him and saluted with his fists. Try to keep yourself calm, then turn to Yi Cheng and say, "Go and prepare water for the general to bathe." ”
Yi Cheng stepped forward, the tip of his nose moved, and his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly pointed to a low house not far away and said, "Please move over here!" The weather is dry and dry, the pavilion is easy to walk the water, here ......"
Before he could finish his words, "Whoosh-" "Whoosh-" "Whoosh-" Several wind-breaking sounds, and several red flames fell precisely in the center of the crowd with cold arrows.
Out of instinct, everyone retreated.
That's right, the target of the opponent's attack is the general who is waiting for the military master of the inner government.
Sure enough, the weather is dry, flammable and explosive.
The spark was stained with fire oil, and with a "whew-" sound, even the people and horses were instantly wrapped in flames. The red flames were running into the sky, black smoke was billowing out, and the scene was quite shocking.
"Ah——, help- help—"
The young man who had been tricked was scrambling to fight the fire on his body, fueled by the pure oil of kerosene, and the more he struggled and twisted his body, the more intense the fire became.
The war horse under him was not spared, and the part stained with fire oil ignited instantly, and the beautiful pale gold mane crackled.
Suddenly, it raised its hooves and hissed, slamming its owner, who had turned into a "fire man" on his back, to the ground, and rushed out of the post station at a gallop.
At this juncture, no one has time to take care of a horse.
"Water—"
"Get water!"
……
In the chaos, the big guys went into battle with pots and pans, and wave after wave of water was brought over, all splashing on the body of the "fire man".
Everyone was tired enough, but the fire on his body did not lessen in the slightest, and the range of writhing and struggling of the hot fire and the screaming in the fire became weaker and weaker.
"Sand! Gotta use sand—" Xue Yi shouted loudly.
Donggong once a year water drill, he participated in a lot, Fang Cai was too panicked, he didn't think that the oil fire needed to be extinguished with sand.
"Sand?" Feng Chao, who came with a water scoop, was dumbfounded.
This is the outskirts of Beijing, not the desert, how can you catch sand at will!
"Get out of the way!"
A clear sound came from the low room behind him, and then a large felt carpet flew out.
The big guys were all well-trained, and they avoided it in time, and the felt carpet fell directly on the "burning man".
"Fight-" The flames were suppressed and rushed out from both ends.
Xue Yi's eyes lit up, this is simply a godsend "savior"! Covering the fire with this blanket can also stop the fire.
He kicked Feng Chao, who was stunned beside him, "Hurry up!" Wrap the man in this blanket. ”
"Yes—"
Obey the order, regardless of the reason, Feng Chao understands this very deeply. He immediately did as instructed, cooperated in tearing off the felt carpet, neatly rolled the "Burning Man" tightly from head to toe, and then pressed heavily on it.
The fire was brought under control in an instant, and the others hurriedly found brooms and wet cloths to extinguish the debris that had been ignited around them.
Seven...... Eight......
Beads of sweat were like rain, Xue Yi was soaked, and counted silently without moving.
Ordinary people are burned so badly that they can hold up ten snaps of their fingers at most.
Ten......
"Uncover!"
He gave an order, and Feng Chao quickly cooperated.
The two of them opened the black felt carpet, and the fire inside had been completely extinguished, and the people were burned beyond recognition. His hair burned out and smelled scorched, his skin was black and red with blisters, his torn clothes were emitting light smoke, his mouth and nose were slightly open, and his breath was like a gossamer, and he was seriously injured.
"Hurry up——, go find the doctor!" The post man hurriedly sent people.
Someone had an accident at the post station under his jurisdiction, and it was inevitable that he would withhold his salary for a few months.
"What's the situation?"
Su Xiaozhou, who was spotless in the moon-white clothes and had no messy hair in the bun, walked out of the low house and looked at them in surprise.
"My lord! Why are you here?! ”
Seeing Shangguan, Xue Yi almost cried.
They waited all night and morning, and the adults were in this room!
Su Xiaozhou glanced at the burned person, "I arrived early in the morning, and I tasted the sour plum soup specially blended by Sister Orchid while escaping the heat in the ice cellar." ”
"Who is Orchid?" Feng Chao asked stupidly.
"It's a little girl, a miscellaneous envoy at the post station. He is twenty-eight years old and has not yet been married. Yi Cheng said on the side.
Sneaking a glance at this dignified descendant, it seemed that his official position was not low, and his face showed an inopportune hint of joy.
Xue Yi and Feng Chao looked at each other, Master Su is really left and right, no matter where he goes, he can be happy with the big girls and little daughters-in-law. In the scorching summer, he actually has sour plum soup to drink, and an ice cellar to escape the heat! Sure enough, I gave birth to a good skin, and my life was so comfortable.
"What's going on? What's wrong with this man? ”
Su Xiaozhou stepped forward, and tried his best to avoid the "unlucky guy" lying on the ground and moaning in a low voice.
"He's General Lee!" Xue Yi hurriedly said.
"Ahh
Su Xiaozhou was a little dumbfounded, he was ordered to pick up people, and he actually let people burn like this, and he really lived up to expectations, and even such a simple errand could be done.
"My lord, this ...... How to get back to life? The general was injured, and we may be suspected of dereliction of duty. Xue Yi had a headache.
"Don't worry, I haven't checked the paperwork yet, and I haven't officially taken over him, so it's not a dereliction of duty."
Su Xiaozhou squatted down, put two fingers on the neck of the young man who was smoking, and sighed deeply, "Although there is still gas, it doesn't seem to be good...... Uncle Yicheng, by the way, call the people from Yizhuang as well. ”
"Yes—"
The more Yi Cheng looked at him, the more pleasing he became, and hurriedly sent someone to do it.
"Really...... Don't you think about curing? ”
The voice came from the last of the crowd of onlookers, and Su Xiaozhou looked up to see three young passers-by coming in from outside the post station.
These three people look quite strange...... The left and right people are wearing soft armor, riding tall horses, with straight postures and not squinting, and they look like people in the army. The one in the middle, wearing a tattered sand robe, rode a thin old donkey, and a bulging cloth bag hung on the left and right sides of the donkey, like a small merchant walking the rivers and lakes.
He was the one who spoke just now.
Different from ordinary men in Chang'an City, his facial features are clearly outlined, his eyes are large, his upper eyelids are double-folded, his eyes are bright, and he looks like he has a different kind of spirit.
