The two of them were silent and followed his instructions.

In just a few breaths, there was the sound of bones clashing, the sound of muffled, gagged screams, the sound of flesh being violently knocked to the ground, and the neighing of horses.

The people on both sides were not far away, about five or six feet apart, as if they heard the movement here, and someone in that place struggled for a moment and shouted: "Help!!" Save ......"

His voice was hoarse, I don't know if his throat was injured, or if he had already shouted in his throat, but when the north wind howled, and the man's cry for help was blown from the upwind outlet, the strength had actually dissipated most of the time, and the words were only halfway shouted, and the rest of the voice was swallowed back, as if it had been sealed.

Fortunately, the three people present heard it.

Gu Yanzhang's complexion changed, his feet clamped the horse's belly hard, and while running the horse forward, he shouted without looking back: "Rosin, go to the patrol shop!" ”

He just called a name, Rosin had already reined in his horse and rushed back like a sharp arrow, and the other guard was only slow to react, raising a long stick and following Gu Yanzhang.

Five or six feet away, on horseback, but only a few breaths of effort, the two of them soon arrived at the place, and the first thing they saw was six or seven horses that had fallen by the river, and I don't know whether they were seriously injured or the rest, they could hardly move, only one or two could still shake their hooves from time to time, and let out a few wails.

There was another man lying next to the fallen horse, it was too dark to see what was going on with him, but he could smell a strong smell of blood.

However, Gu Yanzhang didn't have the time to care about the situation here.

Three or four zhang away, is a tributary of the Bianhe River, the surface of the river can not see how wide it is, you can hear the sound of running water.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky fluttered, revealing half a moon, and the faint light was reflected on the surface of the river, and the light of the lantern held by the guard in front of Gu Yanzhang vaguely illuminated the scene by the river.

- Five or six men of medium stature crouched on the ground, with their backs to the road, not knowing what they were doing, except for the sound of gurgling and struggling underwater, while the other was a foot away, as if watching the wind.

The man who was looking at the wind apparently heard the sound of the horse's hooves and turned his head to look at it.

Gu Yanzhang only brought rosin and an entourage today, but fortunately he didn't return for a long time, Ji Qingling saw that all the officials near Zuo had arrived at the house, and he was vigilant, so he sent three people over to deliver food, so that others had more manpower. At this time, there were six people in the group, half of whom were sent by him to explore another path, and Rosin was ordered to report to the official, and there was only one person left by Gu Yanzhang's side.

The guard was already half a horse's head ahead of Gu Yanzhang, holding the lantern in his hand, and did not hold the reins, and in an instant, the horses under his crotch had already rushed forward by inertia for more than ten steps.

He was holding a lantern in his hand, and he was facing the person standing opposite, and although he couldn't see anything clearly, it reflected the black veil on the other side and what the person was holding in his hand.

The thing was long, curved, half-moon-shaped, and there was a sharp bulge in front of it, which shone a little light.

—a wooden arrow with a cluster of arrows, resting on a short, drawn bow.

The guard's pupils shrank, and his brain had already reflected, but his body hadn't kept up yet, and he opened his mouth to scream, but it was blank in an instant, and he couldn't move, not even the slightest sound.

Gu Yanzhang saw that something was wrong behind him, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”

It was too late.

There is only half a foot between the guard and the man, and no matter how mediocre the riding and archery kung fu is, there is only a crooked shot, and there is no reason why the shot cannot be missed.

Hearing a muffled sound of "porphyry", the arrow pierced straight into the guard's left abdomen, forcing him to scream, and the lantern in his hand could no longer be held, and fell to the ground with a snap.

The lantern did not go out immediately, but the paper that had been pasted on the outside was burned, and for a moment, the fire was bright.

The masked man struck a blow, touched his back with his backhand, drew another arrow, and just took his bow, and before he could pull the string, he felt a strong wind shoot towards his eyes.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, and heard a "bang", followed by the sound and strong wind, there was a sharp pain on his face, and something pulled his eyes.

At the same time, there was a weight in his hand, as if the bow and arrow were being pulled with a small force.

If it was placed in normal times, the masked man would have held on, but now his eyes hurt secondly, he opened his eyes, it was dark in front of him, he couldn't see anything clearly, he was almost frightened, where did he have the energy to care about the bow and arrow, he only let go of his hand, covered his eyes, and screamed: "My eyes!" ”

Gu Yanzhang pulled the whip back in his hand, and there was a short bow on the tail of the whip.

As soon as he started it, he felt that something was wrong.

The short bow was obviously finely polished, more than three points heavier than the bows and arrows used by ordinary people for martial arts, and there was a grip to prevent slipping hands in the hand, and even the lines of the bow were very smooth.

Be neat and take advantage of it.

This is by no means a short bow that the people have the ability to make themselves.

He didn't have time to think about it, and his right hand had already whipped the whip out again.

The masked man covered his eyes with his hands, screamed miserably, and his body was so painful that his bow turned into the shape of a boiled river prawn, and the quiver on his back was exposed.

With the light of the unextinguished flame of the lantern paper, the whip in Gu Yanzhang's hand rolled out two arrows at once, one of which fell halfway, but the other was caught in his hand.

Gu Yanzhang has loved martial arts since he was a child, and before he was enlightened, he began to play with the small bow specially made for him at home. He is highly talented, and now he has been practicing hard for more than ten years, and he has been trained on the battlefield, holding a bow in his hand, although he is not customary, but he is not hand-born.

Whipping, drawing bows, and arrows, all of them seemed to be fluid, but they were only a matter of moments, and before the lantern paper on the ground was extinguished, the arrow had already been shot.

With this arrow, Gu Yanzhang did not shoot at the masked man who was close at hand, but at the crowd gathered by the river more than ten steps away.

"Ahh

Screams erupted.

One person was bent forward by the force of the bow and arrow, and where he could still step on it, he had already fallen into the river in front of him with a "poof".

"The third child!"

"Third brother!"

The crowd gathered in one place immediately exclaimed, and everyone turned their heads in unison, glaring angrily at Gu Yanzhang, two of them were fast, and they had already drawn out the daggers on their waists and rushed towards him one after another.

Facing the two gangsters who were only holding short blades, Gu Yanzhang was riding on horseback, how could he be afraid, he grabbed the reins with his left hand, stepped on the pedal with his right foot, exerted force at his waist, released his left foot, and leaned his upper body to the right, almost becoming a horizontal "one", his right hand poked to the side, and he was pulling out the long stick that the Gu Fu guard who was hit by the arrow put on the horse.

The people of the capital can't hide their blades privately, and ordinary big families often have fist and foot masters, and wooden sticks are common weapons.

This long stick is made of unknown wood, it is very heavy in his hand, and it is straightened vertically, and the height can almost reach the end of an adult man's nose, and it is held in Gu Yanzhang's hand, and it has become a sharp weapon.

He was on a horse, and he was already condescending, although there were two people in front of him, but they all had short blades in their hands, and for a while, they forced the other party to get close.

Gu Yanzhang danced with a stick in his hand, and his head didn't turn, but he shouted at the guard: "Don't go and save people yet!" ”

As he spoke, he was already holding the long stick in his right hand and poked hard at the back of the horse's hip under the guard on the right.

Just now he shot an arrow, and one of the specially selected people, after that person fell into the river, a position suddenly became empty among the people gathered in front of him, and two people came with swords, and they could already vaguely see the opposite scene-

Two people gathered around the left and right sides, and forcefully pressed the head of one of the people who was pressed to the ground into the water.

The man's feet were rubbing on the ground, his head and face were completely submerged, and his whole body was struggling.

Two others stood by with their hands on their hands, like the others, both covered in black veils.

The guard was not slow to react, although he still had to carry an arrow on his right hand, and the blood was flowing like an infusion, and the pain was terrible, but fortunately it was dark, and he couldn't see the blood clearly, so he couldn't see the blood clearly, and he didn't panic, so he simply ignored the wound and rushed forward with his horse.

The horses of the Gu family are all trained according to war horses, and they are not afraid of people at all, the horse's hooves click, and they broke into the group of people with the sound of the whistling wind, and they did not stop, and they kicked the people under their feet a few times and stepped into the river together.

However, in an instant, the five people on the bank of the river had been knocked off, three of them entered the water, and the other two had half of their bodies in the water.

This one is a tributary of the Bianhe River, although the river is not big, but the water is very turbulent, but fortunately, the place where everyone fell into is a little higher, but they can barely stand firm.

The man who had been pressed and soaked in the water was also knocked into the water together, but the person who was holding him had been kicked away by the horse, and was washed away by the water a few steps away, so that he also stood up straight at this time, and was coughing violently, and wanted to shout for help several times, but unfortunately he choked on the water, and his throat was so painful and bitter that he couldn't even make a sound.

All this happened very quickly, from Gu Yanzhang riding a horse with the guard, to him whipping, grabbing the bow, grabbing arrows, shooting arrows, drawing sticks, and then driving the guards and horses forward, all in the blink of an eye, before the other side could fully figure out what was going on, one of them could no longer see, except for his hands fluttering, there was no other movement, and most of the others fell into the water.

In fact, if you count it carefully, there are seven people on the opposite side, but there are only two people on your side, if you face each other, there is no chance of winning, but Gu Yanzhang took it by surprise and actually had the upper hand in a short time.

Seeing such a record, Gu Yanzhang did not advance but retreated, pulled the reins of the horse under his crotch and spun around, dodging the attack of the two men with sharp blades, beating the horse and turning a corner, shouting backwards: "Someone!" ”

Before he could speak, the sound of horses' hooves on the road was getting louder and louder—it was not far away, and it was delayed for a while, thinking that it was Rosin Xiang who Gu Yanzhang had just sent to find someone who had already led people over.

The people who fell into the river finally came to their senses, and they did not speak, but one of them put two fingers to his mouth and whistled.

The two men surrounding Gu Yanzhang only hesitated for a moment before stepping back, pulling the masked man who only knew how to cover his eyes on the side, and jumped into the river together.

These seven people are all knowledgeable about water, the winter night is dark, and there is no bright moon hanging high, and one or two heads can be seen before, and after a while, no one can be found.

Gu Yanzhang didn't have time to chase those gangsters, so he only beat his horse to the river, immediately turned over and dismounted, stretched his long stick into the river, and asked the person who was drowning to grab him and drag him ashore.

The other party was still panting heavily, coughing on the side of his head, and bowing his hand at the same time, and hurriedly said, "Thank you...... Thank you for rescuing ......."

Gu Yanzhang stretched out his hand to help him be polite, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.

was so close, with the help of the half moonlight in the sky, he finally saw the appearance of the person opposite.

- It's a little familiar.

It's not just the face that's familiar, it's also the way you dress.

The standard of mourning, the style of the scarf on the head, and the faint smell of medicine on the other party......

The man raised his head, his almost bloodless face was revealed, and he hurriedly said: "In Xia Sun Zhaohe, he is serving in the Tai Hospital, and he is leading the emperor's errand, please lend me a horse quickly......"

***

The night was dark, but the Wende Hall was brightly lit.

Zhao Hao was lying flat on the ground, his whole body was swinging, his lips were bruised, his head was covered with sweat, and his hands and feet were shaking.

The clothes on his body were stripped to his waist, revealing his chest and abdomen, and silver needles were pierced on several big points in Tanzhong, Shoulder Zhen, and Shenque.

Two imperial doctors knelt on the ground, one pressed Zhao Hao's head, one pressed his legs, and the other was half-squatting, holding needles in his hands, and was following several acupuncture points one by one.

Empress Dowager Zhang stood aside, waited patiently for a while, and saw that there was no result in the imperial doctor's place, and she couldn't sit still anymore, so she summoned Cui Yongchen and urged: "Where is Sun Zhaohe?" I've been preaching for so long, but I haven't arrived yet! ”

Cui Yongchen knew that this person was an impatient, so he immediately bowed down and said, "Go chase after you." ”

As he spoke, he didn't assign the little yellow door under his head, and he went to the palace gate.

Zhao Duo, the king of Wei, shrank beside the Empress Dowager Zhang, and when he heard his mother's assignment, he didn't dare to say much, let alone move, and stared straight at King Ji who was lying on the ground.

His expression was complicated, as if he was in five points of anxiety, three points of nervousness, and two points of relief.

However, he didn't get comfortable for long.

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't get a response, and she couldn't urge the imperial doctor, but she couldn't wait for the person to come in, she was anxious, looked left and right, and saw that this son was unstoppable, she squinted her eyes and suddenly asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Zhao Duo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "My son is worried about the third brother, both of us are in the palace today, and we are eating the same things, but I don't know what is wrong with him!" ”

He turned his head to look at the door of the palace again, and said hurriedly: "Hasn't Sun Fengyao arrived yet?" ”

However, the more he looked alike, the more ugly Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes became.
