Chapter 10 Before Tanglin, Ma Lanyu, black eats black
The weather in July is as unpredictable as the current situation in the capital. It was still sunny in the morning, but after noon, it became a yin and yang day, and the sky was half bright and half dark. For hundreds of miles, the capital was covered by a thin layer of cirrus clouds, the top of the cloud was depicted with a layer of gold, but the bottom of the cloud was painted with a thick lead gray color. The sun doesn't shine through, only the heat passes through the clouds and hits the ground, and it's so stuffy that it's endless. Walking outside, people are like being at the junction of yin and yang, and the top of their heads is bleak.
As soon as noon passed, the gates of Heian Castle rumbled open, and more than two dozen knights came out first. As soon as they left the city, they spread out into a fan and galloped away. Immediately after leaving the city was a long line of infantry, about four hundred men. The soldiers were lazy, but excited, and as they went, they talked and laughed loudly with their companions unbridledly, and the whole procession was loose. Their weapons were disorganized, some were carrying Hanyang-made, some were holding the Liao Thirteen Style, and some were only holding a tiger-headed broadsword. The military uniforms worn are also messy, such as the black robes of the Feng Army, the National Revolutionary Army, the Anhui Department, the Shanxi merchants, the long swings of Mongolian herdsmen, and even the shirtless ones, with shiny tendons and flesh, revealing barbarism and ferocity.
Between the bandits were a dozen or so carriages, all of which were empty, and only one of them had a person on it. Xu Yicheng clasped his hands in front of his chest, sat in the car and closed his eyes silently, Hai Lanzhu leaned on him intimately, peeling oranges for him.
Wang Shaoyi came to the front of the car on a horse, and smiled without smiling: "Newlywed Yan'er, the two of you are very greasy." Hai Lanzhu smiled sweetly: "I haven't bothered to give tea to Old Man Wang, I really shouldn't have it." ”
Wang Shaoyi looked at Xu Yicheng and said, "Mr. Xu, what are you thinking with your eyes closed?" ”
Xu Yicheng slowly opened his eyes and spit out two words: "Tanglin." ”
Wang Shaoyi laughed, raised his whip and waved it at the team: "There are hundreds of people here, which one doesn't want to?" In this life, I have the opportunity to see the opening of the Dongling Tomb, what a blessing. When the tomb of Cixi is opened, you will have to keep your eyes open. He paused for a moment, saw that Xu Yicheng was silent, and frowned slightly: "I know that you have a grudge, and I locked you in the city for more than ten days and didn't let you out, and that was also for the sake of secrecy." Besides, I didn't treat you badly, good wine and meat are waiting, and I will let you go if you say that you will release people, and even my aunt and wife will match you with a room, is it interesting enough? ”
Xu Yicheng suddenly pointed to the sky: "Deputy Wang Tuan, do you know what day it is today?" Wang Shaoyi asked him what he was, and Xu Yicheng said solemnly: "This is called Yin and Yang Tian, and it is also called Jiuquan turning the ground." The clouds cover the sun, the darkness is unknown, the sky is full of thunderstorms, the earth is gushing nine springs, at this time the boundary between the two worlds of yin and yang is confused, if you go the wrong way, it is very easy to step on the wrong foot in the underworld, on the Huangquan Road, and then it will be difficult to come back. ”
Wang Shaoyi's face sank: "What do you mean?" ”
Xu Yicheng said: "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." There are some things that you have to think twice. ”
Wang Shaoyi said disdainfully: "You are right. People are doing it, and the sky is watching - but God can only watch now, and nothing can be done. He let out a series of rattling laughs and turned away.
Xu Yicheng's attitude made Wang Shaoyi a little disappointed. If he had been in the past, he would have collapsed this uninteresting kid with one shot. However, in the past ten days of detention, Xu Yicheng has identified many treasures and antiques up and down Ping'an City, and he is indeed a master. Wang Shaoyi also counted on him to ship the goods for himself in the capital, and it was useful for the time being.
After Wang Shaoyi walked away, Hai Lanzhu gently held Xu Yicheng's hand and said softly: "Isn't it just for today?" Why are you suddenly a good person? Xu Yicheng smiled coldly: "Wang Shaoyi is too suspicious, if I urge him to go, he is easy to be suspicious." I'm pushing back here, but he's going to go to Tanglin with all his heart. Speaking of this, Xu Yicheng sighed and leaned back, "You don't know, in the antique business, there are three persuasions." Even if it is to deceive people with fakes, before the other party wants to buy it, the scammer has to persuade him three times to show that he has no conscience. After persuading me three times, the other party still didn't wake up, that is, he was dead, and he was destined to be deceived by me. ”
"Really? Who would do such a thing of tearing down their own platform? ”
"Hey, don't say it. The more the cheater is like this, the more the buyer is afraid of fraud, but thinks that the seller has the intention of repenting, and all of them hurriedly pay the money. Xu Yicheng looked at Hai Lanzhu with a surprised face, and said with a smile, "The three persuasions were originally rules for persuading people to be good, but in the end, they became a trick to capture and indulge in the past. So you see, learning from the past is fundamentally learning from people's hearts. The more precious the treasure, the more terrible the human heart is. I can't imagine what it will be when this treasure house of Tanglin is revealed......" Xu Yicheng narrowed his eyes and looked forward. In the distance, among the mountains, is where it all began.
It happened that Wang Shaoyi was next to the team, and he shouted: "Brothers, go faster." Cixi's old lady is already lying flat, waiting for us! ”
His words caused a burst of laughter among the bandits, and their morale was greatly boosted, shouts and whistles were thrown into the air, and the whole team ran faster in the direction of Tanglin.
Twenty miles in front of this group of bandits, there is a big mountain called Fujun Mountain. This mountain is located on the east side of Tanglin and is separated by a feng shui wall in the middle. The mountain of Fujun Mountain is rugged, a thousand twists and turns, and the nearby hills, ravines form a narrow pass, called Malan Pass, there is also the Great Wall built in the Qin Dynasty nearby, is the hub of Ma Lanyu.
Just as Wang Shaoyi was advancing at full speed, in a hidden command post on Fujun Mountain, Tan Wenjiang put down his German-made binoculars, turned back to Sun Dianying and said, "Military seat, our people have entered the ambush position. ”
Sun Dianying took off his military hat, sat on a small pony, and was nibbling on a watermelon with a big bald head. At his feet was a bucket full of well water, soaked in three or four large green watermelons. After Tan Wenjiang finished reporting, he waved his hand: "Wait for Wang Shaoyi's kid to get close to the position for two miles, and then report - his grandmother's, this day is really hot and flowers, and everyone is about to turn into oil." After complaining, he took another bite of the watermelon pulp and spat out a few black seeds.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Huang Kewu standing next to him, his face covered with sweat, but he kept looking at him.
"Hey, you can eat a piece too." Sun Dianying greeted Huang Kewu.
Huang Kewu shook his head and asked, "Sun Junzuo, will they come?" ”
Sun Dianying nibbled on a watermelon: "It wasn't me who said that Wang Shaoyi came to Malanyu today, it was you who passed on the words - you have also seen it, we have announced that there will be exercises in this vicinity, which will be classified as a military restricted area, and all the ordinary people have been driven away." Now everything is ready, just wait for the east wind. It depends on whether my righteous brother really has the ability to deceive Lao Wang. As he spoke, he hummed the part of the play that borrowed the east wind.
Huang Kewu was still a little worried: "Uncle Xu is still in the team, will he be injured by mistake when he fights for a while?" ”
Sun Dianying said: "The bullet has no eyes, and whoever hurts it can't hurt anyone, this is not a good thing." When Huang Kewu heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said that I have to go down. Sun Dianying didn't stop either: "Little doll, let me tell you, fighting is not fun." Do you think you are Luo Cheng or Li Yuanba? ”
Huang Kewu clasped his hands into fists: "I promised Uncle Xu that I would protect him, but I can't break my word." With that, he turned and went down. Sun Dianying was bored with herself, and waved her hand at Tan Wenjiang stupidly: "Send a few people to follow him." I'm a righteous brother, in order to save someone, he made such a big battle, and he took his life seriously, I really don't know what to think. ”
Tan Wenjiang took the opportunity to compliment: "This shows that Mr. Xu is angry, otherwise you wouldn't have bowed to him, right?" Sun Dianying threw away the melon skin and slapped his thigh: "It's not!" If you want to talk about righteousness, you have to be Han people. Others...... What do you mean by that? If it is not of my race, its heart will be different, hum ......" He showed a rather angry look, and it was gone in a moment.
Huang Kewu left the concealed headquarters and hurried down the mountain. He walked to the foot of Fujun Mountain and suddenly stopped. He saw that in a nearby ravine, dozens of people, old and young, were all dressed in the number of the former Qing Dynasty, and there was a full company of soldiers nearby.
Although Huang Kewu has never seen it, he can guess by his appearance and clothing that it is Hai Lanzhu's father, Ah Hexuan, the winged leader of the clan who is responsible for guarding the tomb.
"They didn't stay in Tanglin, why did they come here?"
Huang Kewu had doubts in his heart and walked over to ask. The soldiers did not allow him to come close, saying that because they were going to conduct military exercises, they had to empty the nearby places, so they drove Ah Hexuan and the only remaining tomb guards out. They did not want to go away, so they gathered together in this ravine.
"Strange, didn't Yu Fang inform them?" Huang Kewu thought it was strange, but these dozens of people didn't even have a firearm, they all wore Mongolian scimitars on their waists, even if they prepared in advance, it was useless. Huang Kewu wanted to rush to the front line, but he didn't care about it, so he turned around and left.
Under the guidance of Sun Dianying's guards, Huang Kewu came to the forefront of the ambush position, where there was an arched mountain fold, like a quilt, just right for the Tibetans. Beneath the folds is an avenue that leads directly to Malan Pass. Huang Kewu bent down, squatted in a bunker, and looked straight into the distance of the avenue with his eyes. At this time, although the clouds were thick, the line of sight was not affected, and the dust was faintly rising in the distance of the avenue, and it seemed that a large army was approaching. The guard was kind enough to hand over a shell gun, Huang Kewu waved his hand, he hadn't used that thing, and he still trusted his fists more.
Huang Kewu took a deep breath, his heart beating faster than usual. He pressed against his chest, trying to calm himself down.
When you wait, it's easiest to meditate. Wang Shaoyi's team had not yet arrived, and in this boring waiting, Huang Kewu fell into deep thought.
In front of Ping'an City, he quarreled with Fu Gui fiercely, and Huang Kewu still doesn't feel that he is wrong. Fu Gui is just a fierce policeman, while he is an antique addict. Professor Kido's sentence that "the rise and fall of a country is only a few tens or hundreds of years, but the survival of cultural relics is a business of thousands of years" really touched his heart. So many treasures left by the ancients, instead of being destroyed in the war in the troubled times of their own country, why not send them to other countries for preservation?
Thinking of this, Huang Kewu's brows furrowed slightly. The only thing he was afraid of was Xu Yicheng's attitude.
Unlike Liu Yiming, Huang Kewu is not so obsessed with Xu Yicheng taking over the five veins. Huang Kewu admires him and follows him because of the kind of love in his heart when facing antiques, which is a pure love without interests. Huang Kewu felt that Xu Yicheng was the kind of person he wanted to be the most, and with Xu Yicheng in front of him, he didn't mind studying archaeology.
When he left Ping'an City for the first time, he tactfully revealed a little idea, but was criticized by Xu Yicheng. This made Huang Kewu a little weak-hearted, not knowing whether his thoughts were right or wrong.
Anyway, let's save Uncle Xu's life first. Huang Kewu desperately drove these doubts out of his mind, raised his head again and looked into the distance, the team was already close.
Huang Kewu didn't know that at the same moment, there was still a pair of eyes peeping at that team.
Fu Gui pushed aside the grass, his face was as gloomy as ever. In such a hot weather, there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead, as if the whole person was still in a cold state.
He has only one target in front of him, which is the squad in front of him, to be precise, the old man in the squad.
The old man was full of gray hair, his body was staggering, and he staggered to walk. His arms could only swing in a small amplitude, but his shoulders remained stiff, and those familiar with it could tell at a glance that they were wounds from throwing stones when he was young. He was flanked by seven or eight soldiers in top hats and box cannons. These people are obviously the people from Wang Shaoyi who went to pick up Jiang Masons. They probably knew the value of the ginger stonemason, and their attitude was not bad, but it was definitely not very respectful, pushing and shoving all the way to drive the old man forward. The old man looked helpless, but he had no ability to resist, so he had to be at their mercy.
After Fu Gui left Ping'an City, he immediately came to Liujia Village, and it didn't take much effort to lock down Jiang Mason's residence. Wang Shaoyi's people had already arrived first, and they lived in Jiang Mason's house, and they kept an eye on him for twelve hours a day, and even when he sleek, he had to tie his legs with ropes, for fear of escaping. Poor Jiang Mason escaped by luck back then, thinking that it had nothing to do with Tanglin again, but he didn't expect to be seventy years old, and he was entangled by this matter again.
Jiang Mason's house was to house soldiers, so everyone else was kicked out, and they dared not speak out. Among them, Jiang Mason's youngest son and daughter-in-law temporarily lived in a family at the head of the village. Fu Gui didn't have much effort to find them, and a few pieces of shiny ocean were smashed down, and he became a distant third nephew of the Jiang family.
The soldiers did not prohibit the daily activities of the Jiang family, but they did not allow the Jiang stonemasons to go out of the courtyard. So, the distant nephew came to visit him with shochu and a bunch of dried fish. Jiang Mason is old, and it is not surprising that he can't remember this relative, and the younger son next to him seems to remember it when he persuades him. The third nephew often came to visit, came to bring some food today, and brought a piece of cloth tomorrow, and chatted happily with Jiang Mason, and then the two didn't know what happened and had a big quarrel. The third nephew left angrily and never returned.
After Wang Shaoyi's order came, the soldiers drove away the Jiang family and "escorted" Jiang Masons towards Ma Lanyu. Before leaving, I was afraid that he would lose energy, so I forced him to smoke two puffs of cigarettes.
As soon as they left Liujia Village, Fu Gui followed closely behind.
It's all been arranged before, and now it's only the right time to do it. Can't be too early, too early, Wang Shaoyi will be aware of the fraud and not get into the trap. It can't be too late, it's too late Jiang Mason was sent into Wang Shaoyi's main force, and it will be too late to do it when the time comes.
In fact, if he didn't care about the life and death of Jiang Mason, he wouldn't have to be so troublesome at all. As long as Wang Shaoyi enters the ambush circle, his life and death don't matter. From this point of view, Fu Gui agrees with Hai Lanzhu's opinion. Only a guy like Xu Yicheng would do this extra and deliberately told him not to hurt Jiang Stonemason's life as much as possible.
But since Xu Yicheng has instructed him so, he must do it.
Fu Gui doesn't have so much nonsense, and he doesn't have so many thoughts. He was now in a state of imminent battle, his muscles were fully retracted, his breathing was adjusted to the best rhythm, and the murderous aura was slowly emerging from him, but his mind was as calm as a piece of ice.
When the ginger stonemason arrives at a specific location, he will suddenly burst out, kill the seven or eight people in front of him, and protect the ginger stonemason alive. Fu Gui only has this one thing in his eyes now, and he doesn't have any superfluous thoughts.
Compared with Fu Gui, Liu Yiming's mind was full of various ideas at this time. But he didn't have time to take care of it.
He was riding on a high-headed magenta gray horse at this time, Yao Lai hugged his waist from behind, screaming in fright, but Liu Yiming didn't seem to hear it, just blindly rushed with his whip and galloped in the direction of Ma Lanyu. He himself tends to be weak and his riding skills are not very good, but at this time, like Guan Gong's upper body, his horse riding skills are smooth.
When the knight is galloping, it is taboo to speak, because it is easy to bite off the tongue when he is bumping up and down. But Liu Yiming didn't care, he kept repeating a sentence, and only Yaolai could barely hear it clearly.
"Hurry, hurry, or it'll be too late."
So, in this yin and yang day at the beginning of July, everyone has their own thoughts and purposes, and they converge towards Tanglin, the land of right and wrong.
The first gunfire came from Wang Shaoyi's troops.
Their team was already approaching Malan Pass, the soldiers were a little tired from the rapid march all the way, the line dragged on a little long, the first team had already passed through the ancient monument in front of the pass, and the end of the team was still on the edge of the forest outside the valley. Wang Shaoyi calculated the time, and the team escorting Jiang Mason was almost there, so he ordered the team to stop and rest for a while, and wait for Jiang Mason to meet.
One of the soldiers in the group was tired, and when he looked up, he saw a low-flying magpie flying out of the woods, so fat that he couldn't help but itch in his hands. He was a sharpshooter, so he took his rifle off his shoulder, pulled the gun on it, and shot it into the air.
Wang Shaoyi's team had very poor military discipline, and no one forbade shooting at will during the march. The sharpshooter rang out, and the magpie fell headlong in mid-air, winning the praise of his companions.
But Wang Shaoyi's line was too long, and the back row opened fire, and the front row didn't know that it was shooting birds. When they suddenly heard the gunshots, they were all shocked, and subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, and craned their necks to look left and right, thinking that there were people ambushing on the mountains on both sides.
And the soldiers in Sun Dianying's ambush were the time when their nerves were the most tense. Suddenly hearing this gunshot, they thought that the friendly troops had already moved, and they poked their heads out of the mountain one after another, just in front of Wang Shaoyi's soldiers.
There was silence at first, and then both sides unceremoniously opened fire in consternation and surprise. This long-planned ambush battle began with such a slightly joyful misunderstanding.
Gunshots rang out, bullets flew by in a staggered manner, and the front of Malan Pass was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.
Sun Dianying's soldiers were well prepared, well-armed, and condescending. So as soon as the battle began, the ambush troops quickly gained the upper hand, and Wang Shaoyi's soldiers were suppressed to the death, with a mess of dead and wounded, screams and ** voices endlessly. As soon as many bandits drew their guns, they were pierced by bullets from both sides at the same time, and they fell to the ground in that position; There are quick reactions who lie on the ground with their heads and pretend to be dead, but unfortunately Sun Jun doesn't aim at all, they just try their best to spill the bullets in their hands, and shoot one by one to form a barrage, regardless of life or death, those who see it have a share; Some of the unlucky ghosts are dead, but their bodies are still being hit by bullets, as if they are scamming corpses.
However, because Wang Shaoyi's team dragged on for too long, only the front half was really encircled, and the team behind did not enter the area covered by the ambush's firepower. After all, these bandits had a record of confronting the Feng army head-on, and after a short period of panic, they actually began to fight back in style.
Wang Shaoyi has remained in the rear team and is not within the scope of the first wave of strikes. As soon as the gun rang out, he jumped off his horse quickly, took out his pistol, and looked at the Fujun Mountain, his face gloomy like a zombie who had just crawled out of a grave. In Wang Shaoyi's imagination, the biggest resistance they could encounter was Ah Hexuan's dozens of former Qing soldiers, but the density of shooting, the rhythm of attack, and the professional ambush methods in front of them were obviously professional troops.
And near here, there is only Sun Dianying's Twelfth Army.
When did Lao Tzu provoke them? A trace of doubt crossed Wang Shaoyi's mind. But at this time, he was on the battlefield and had no time to find the culprit. He waved his pistol and shouted to calm the soldiers around him, trying to restore order.
His idea was to organize two death squads to make a detour to the sides of the hillside on both sides to go around the ass of the ambush troops. The bandits finally gathered and rushed up the hill under the leadership of the two small leaders, but soon a loud roar exploded in the ranks, and five or six soldiers and sand were thrown high. The rest of the people scurried back with their heads in their hands, but the artillery fire immediately extended and blossomed in the crowd.
Quadruple mountain artillery?
The corners of Wang Shaoyi's mouth twitched. Sun Dianying even brought this thing? It seems that this is not an encounter, they have been prepared for a long time, and they are waiting for Lao Tzu to come to the door.
The roar of the mountain artillery completely shocked the courage of the bandits. They confronted the Feng army on the frontal battlefield and could fight without fear of death. But these people went out today to make a fortune in Tanglin, and now there is a gap in psychology, and their morale suddenly collapses. Forced by the obscenity of the "evil Zhuge ", most of the soldiers did not dare to turn around and flee for the time being, but everyone looked confused, and they lay on their stomachs or half-knelt on the ground, bending their bodies, as if to avoid bullets, and as if to soothe their increasingly intense panic.
"Evil Zhuge " knew that once the soldiers under his command appeared with such eyes, it meant that it was not far from collapse. He looked at the front team with heavy casualties and the rear team with a great demoralization, and his heart was indignant, which can be imagined. He glanced around, finally fixing his gaze on the underside of a carriage.
Xu Yicheng hugged Hai Lanzhu and was hiding between the wheels under the carriage. Wang Shaoyi suddenly remembered, as soon as the gunshots rang out just now, Xu Yicheng immediately dragged Hai Lanzhu under the cart. His reaction was not unresponsive – it was just too fast.
When a normal person encounters this kind of thing, he should first be stunned and stunned, look for the source of the gunshot, and judge the degree of danger around him, and then find a place to hide. As soon as Xu Yicheng heard the gunshots, he hid under the car without saying a word, which can only mean one thing, he already knew that there was an ambush here.
Perhaps, it was a trap set by this bastard, and he didn't have a good heart when he cooperated with this stinky boy from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Wang Shaoyi's eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent, when had he been tricked like this by "Evil Zhuge ". Wang Shaoyi grinded his teeth, picked up the gun in his hand, and his violent anger erupted. If you want to kill a few more brothers, you must first kill this pair of dogs and men - no, not to die, but to capture them alive, so that they will be worse off than dead!
Bullets were still flying on the battlefield, Sun Jun's firepower extended to this side, and there was a corpse lying in the dark in front of Malan Pass. Wang Shaoyi ignored it and strode towards the carriage. As soon as Xu Yicheng looked up, he saw that his eyes were fierce, and he knew that "Evil Zhuge Brother" already knew the truth. A person who is habitually called "Zhuge " has been tricked, so there is only one word "evil" left.
"Wait a minute, I'll try to block him, you run first." Xu Yicheng said to Hai Lanzhu. Hai Lanzhu shook her head: "Let's go." ”
"He hates me the most, I stay, no one will chase you."
"I won't allow you to do stupid things." Hai Lanzhu grabbed his arm tightly.
Wang Shaoyi smiled cruelly: "The two of you are still so greasy. Then he slowly raised the gun in his hand.
At this moment, Xu Yicheng's body moved. He had deliberately adjusted his posture just now, leaning forward and curling up his right leg like a spring. Wang Shaoyi raised his gun, his right leg flicked, and the whole person rushed towards "Evil Zhuge quickly". Now the only way to survive is to hold Wang Shaoyi hostage and persist until Sun Dianying's army arrives.
What surprised Xu Yicheng was that he was fast, and someone was faster than him.
A petite and pretty figure "swooped" past Xu Yicheng from the side and hit Wang Shaoyi's abdomen hard. Wang Shaoyi only stared at Xu Yicheng, but he didn't expect Hai Lanzhu to suddenly burst into trouble, and he was so agile that he was knocked back several steps by her at once, and he almost couldn't hold the gun in his hand.
"Wow, you guys can do that!" Wang Shaoyi was so angry that he almost laughed. Don't say anything wrong about Xu Yicheng, even this little girl is blind. Hai Lanzhu didn't answer, and fought hand-to-hand, not giving Wang Shaoyi a chance to shoot.
When the surrounding bandits saw their leader being beaten, they plucked up their courage and shouted to surround them. At this moment, a person swooped in from the diagonal and struck quickly and quickly, knocking down three or four bandits one after another, and then firmly blocked in front of Xu Yicheng.
"Kewu?" Xu Yicheng was surprised.
The person who came was none other than Huang Kewu. As soon as the ambush began, he jumped out of the col and braved a hail of bullets to burrow into the ranks of the enemy. The bandits were suddenly ambushed, and there was chaos, and no one paid attention to him at all. Huang Kewu walked through the battlefield while looking for Xu Yicheng's traces. When Hai Lanzhu rushed out, he happened to rush to this area, and when he saw that Xu Yicheng was about to be besieged, he did not hesitate to make a move.
"Sun Junzuo said that his main force is making a detour, and he will soon be able to make dumplings for this group of people." Huang Kewu shouted excitedly to Xu Yicheng.
Xu Yicheng didn't know if he was deliberately bluffing or if it was true, but when the surrounding bandits heard this, their morale was greatly shaken. Wang Shaoyi, who was originally inseparable from Hai Lanzhu, also had the intention of retreating. Revenge is important, but your own life is even more important.
Hai Lanzhu suddenly took a few steps back, and the two parted by chance. Huang Kewu took advantage of this opportunity to jump high, jumped on the carriage and grabbed the reins of the horse, and yelled: "Get in the car!" Hai Lanzhu and Xu Yicheng climbed into the car at the same time with a tacit understanding. Huang Kewu casually picked up a short dagger and inserted it into the horse's buttocks, the horse screamed, and galloped wildly with the cart.
Wang Shaoyi realized at this time that he had been deceived again. He was so angry that he pulled the trigger again and again, and the bullets flew over the scalps of the three people, and the danger was full of dangers. The carriage did not stop, slammed into the bandits behind it, and ran quickly in the direction of the road from which it came. Wang Shaoyi shouted at the bandits around him to shoot quickly, and these bastards must not be allowed to escape!
Several bandits stood up tremblingly, and were just about to aim and shoot, when they all fell to the ground with an "oops" sound. Behind them, the gunfire grew louder and louder. Sun Dianying's troops have already been killed. This kind of soldiers and bandits did not have the determination to resist at all, and when they suffered a large number of casualties, they became a piece of loose sand, turned around and ran outside, running all over the mountains. Although Sun Dianying's soldiers were not strong in combat, they had also been on the battlefield, and they jumped out of the offensive one after another to rob the property on the corpse. The scene was chaotic.
Wang Shaoyi saw that the carriage was running away, and the general trend was gone, so he had to grit his teeth and give the order to retreat. The people in the front team couldn't care about it, so they ran away with their lives first.
At this moment, a herald ran from behind crying and shouting, and shouted that it was not good, it was not good. When Wang Shaoyi asked, he learned that Ping'an City was served by Sun Dianying's soldiers, and Ma Futian, who was guarding the city, was killed in battle. Wang Shaoyi's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, Sun Dianying, you are so vicious. He made up his mind and said that he would not chase it, and he should leave quickly!
He is used to being a rogue, and although this failure is painful, at most it is a return to the old profession of bandits. There is only one doubt, which has been hovering in Wang Shaoyi's mind.
"What kind of enmity does Xu Yicheng have with me? As for such a calculation! ”
Wang Shaoyi really couldn't figure it out. Underwriting Tanglin antiques, what a benefit! Hai Lanzhu's beautiful girl, he advocated matchmaking, pierced the window paper for the two, and did something for them, what a blessing! Why is he so calculating Lao Tzu? As he fled, he looked hatefully in the direction of the carriage, with a hint of grievance in his eyes in addition to anger.
Wang Shaoyi turned around and saw the towering city wall of Malan Pass, after this wall, it was Dongling, which was inexhaustible glory and wealth. It's close, but it's far away.
Grandma's, I'll be back sooner or later! He thought to himself.
Fu Gui heard the sound of fried bean-like gunshots from afar, and knew that Sun Dianying had already made a move.
Not far from him, the eight guards escorting the ginger stonemasons also heard the gunshots. They looked at each other, a little overwhelmed. The guards were ordered to escort Jiang Mamason to the pass of Ma Lanyu, but they did not say what to do if there was a battle. So the whole team stopped advancing, and the eight men exchanged ears to see if they should send someone to see what was going on first, or rush over as originally planned.
Fu Gui brushed aside the leaves, lightly approached them step by step, extremely cautiously. When the distance was shortened to a certain extent, Fu Gui suddenly jumped out and yelled: "Old man Jiang, go die!" ”
The guards saw a man suddenly burst out of the bushes and shouted to kill the ginger stonemason. When they looked at it, it turned out to be the third nephew of the Jiang family, probably because of the previous quarrel in the village and the resentment, and the young man was very angry, this was a special revenge, right?
So the guards weren't particularly nervous, but subconsciously gathered around Jiang Mason, wanting to protect him from being injured by idlers. The ginger stonemason heard this shout, but he didn't say a word and fell to the ground.
Fu Gui took out a dirt troll from his back, and with a "boom", a large pile of iron sand covered them all over the sky.
This is what Fu Gui bought in the village, this thing has rough workmanship, poor accuracy, and a short range, but if you close the distance and get hit, even a wild boar will not be able to stand it. The eight of them gathered together, and all of them were hit by iron sand at once. Although it is not fatal, this thing can hurt people to the point of losing the ability to fight back in an instant.
Taking advantage of the fact that the guards were in pain and unable to react, Fu Gui threw the iron trolls and took out his pistol. This is a treaty version of the Mauser C96, twenty rings, which is his private collection. The gun was already full of bullets, and he stepped closer to the crowd, raised his hand and struck, and every shot was aimed at the person's head, one at a time. In just a dozen seconds, the eight guards were all lying on the ground, each with a bullet hole in their heads, and blood was gushing.
Jiang Mason had never seen such a battle, and he lay on the ground and trembled. Before, the "third nephew" told him that he could save his life from the bandits, and the two first acted together in a quarrel scene, and then agreed that no matter where they went, as soon as they heard "Old man Jiang, go die!" With that, he immediately lay down. But Jiang Mason didn't expect that this "third nephew" would be so ruthless, and he would take eight lives in a while.
Fu Gui inspected the corpses and confirmed that they were all dead, and then leaned over and dragged Jiang Stonemason up.
"Come with me."
The ginger stonemason raised his head, his eyes full of horror. Fu Gui thought that he was still frightened and wanted to drag him again. Unexpectedly, Jiang Stonemason trembled and raised his arm and pointed behind Fu Gui.
In the next second, Fu Gui felt that the back of his head was hit by a heavy object, his eyes went black, and he completely lost consciousness......
Huang Kewu drove the carriage and ran wildly on the road. There were still some stragglers scattered on the surrounding road, but they were either frightened and didn't care, or they thought that the people in the carriage had also fled from the front line, and in short, the carriage was unobstructed all the way.
Xu Yicheng and Hai Lanzhu leaned against the back of the car, both of them sweating profusely and panting heavily. It is not a small miracle to be able to escape from the hands of "Evil Zhuge ".
Xu Yicheng's head was grazed by a stray bullet and suffered a skin injury, but the blood flowed out and covered half of his head, which looked terrifying. Hai Lanzhu took out a cloth from her waist and wanted to wipe it for him. Xu Yicheng waved his hand, took out the big white handkerchief from his arms, and covered the wound. The white handkerchief was soon stained with blood, and it looked shocking.
"You're so good, better than me." Xu Yicheng smiled at Hai Lanzhu. Hai Lanzhu heard a faint doubt in his tone, and smiled slightly: "That's how the clan trained me. ”
"Why are they training you like that?"
"Fear." Hai Lanzhu said, "Since Pu Yi's abdication, the clan has been in fear, and three hundred years of pampering have raised these people and shortened their vision. When all this is lost, they find that they can no longer live like normal people, so they fall into deep fear and lack of security. ”
Xu Yicheng keenly noticed that she was talking about Pu Yi, not the emperor.
Hai Lanzhu said: "So after a clan like mine, they were all sent abroad for special training, and the children of the Eight Banners in China were rotten to the bones, and they couldn't be counted on at all." ”
"Count on what? Do you want to make another Zhang Xun? Xu Yicheng said.
"How is that possible?" Hai Lanzhu chuckled, "They have always been afraid of being attacked and retaliated against, so they hope to have more self-preservation." ”
Xu Yicheng said: "If they can't put themselves in the right position and can't accept the identity of ordinary people of the Republic of China, then they deserve what happens." ”
"Hey, speaking of which, they're very satisfied with how much you did to protect Tanglin in a city. I think even if you go to propose marriage now, they will gladly agree. Hai Lanzhu looked at him boldly. Xu Yicheng looked away: "What I did has nothing to do with the clan. It's just that I don't want to encourage the arrogance of tomb robbery and hurt the foundation of my country's culture. ”
"That's the only reason?"
Xu Yicheng didn't answer, he suddenly stood up and said to Huang Kewu in one direction: "That person, is it Yiming?" ”
Huang Kewu's eyesight is good, his eyes widened and he saw that it was Liu Yiming who was riding on the horse, and there was a medicine behind him, and he was running opposite the carriage. He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, and soon Liu Yiming turned the horse's head and came to the carriage. The horse was covered in sweat, and as soon as he stopped, his hooves fell to his knees, foaming at the mouth.
Liu Yiming and Yao Lai climbed down from their horses, and were startled when they saw Xu Yicheng's head covered in blood.
Xu Yicheng was relieved: "Skin trauma, don't worry." Wang Shaoyi has been dispersed, and we have escaped from the chaos, and the matter is over. ”
Liu Yiming gasped and said, "No, Uncle Xu, it's not over yet!" ”
"Huh?" Xu Yicheng was stunned. Hai Lanzhu and Huang Kewu also came over.
Liu Yiming made a look, and Yaolai hurriedly took out a cigarette tube from his arms: "Do you know whose tobacco is it?" It's Sun Dianying's! ”
"I know that. He smoked it himself, and also asked Tan Wenjiang to transport a batch to Beijing. Xu Yicheng replied.
"Did you know that he doesn't just sell tobacco, he also produces it himself? This eagle brand is Sun Dianying's brand at all! Yao Lai said, "This brand was originally called the Dianying brand, but it was later changed to a name!" ”
After all, Yaolai has been mixed in the smoke circle, and after a little inquiry, he will know these things. When Xu Yicheng heard this, he gasped. The production of tobacco and the sale of tobacco are two different concepts, the cost of tobacco production is extremely low, and its cost is mainly in transportation, if a person has both mastered production and an army to sell, then the profit will be extremely huge. Unexpectedly, Sun Dianying still has such a cornucopia in his hands, no wonder he can meet left and right and stand tall.
Yao Lai scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Do you remember the last thing I smoked, 'a golden pill'?" ”
Xu Yicheng nodded.
Yao Lai said: "The Japanese factory in Dalian has been dumping 'a golden pill' into North China. The price of 'one gold pill' is almost on par with the eagle brand. That thing is easier to draw than the Eagle brand, and the price is about ......," Liu Yiming said: "And the person presiding over this matter is Serizawa Co., Ltd., which is inextricably related to the Chinese terroir inspection group." ”
Hearing this, Xu Yicheng's face changed suddenly. He had already heard the meaning of Liu Yiming's words. The dumping of "a golden pill" will completely squeeze the eagle brand out of the market. As soon as the eagle card was lost, the most important financial resource in Sun Dianying's hands was exhausted.
When he was in Mashenqiao, he had already realized that Sun Dianying's army had been short of pay for half a year and was about to mutiny, otherwise he would not have attacked Li Debiao. Sun Dianying is so poor that he has to directly transport tobacco to Beijing to open up the joints, which shows that there are too many pressed goods in his hands, and he can't realize the unsalable.
And these tobacco soils are very difficult to sell in Beijing, and can only be piled up in the yard of the office - indicating that the market environment has become very bad.
It can be said that Sun Dianying was beaten to the end of his life by this dumping strategy of the Japanese.
In Xu Yicheng's original reasoning, an important link has been missing, and he can't find a way for the Chinese terroir investigation team to attack Tanglin. It's not something that a few professors can do, it has to be a large number of people. Xu Yicheng originally guessed that they might use Wang Shaoyi's power, but from now on, this candidate should be Sun Dianying.
Serizawa Trading Company used tobacco and soil as a weapon to cut off Sun Dianying's financial resources, and then the China Terroir Investigation Group came to the door to cooperate, giving this hungry wolf a hope. It seems that Sakai Daisuke visited Sun Dianying a few times, and he didn't mean to drink at all, no wonder Sun Dianying looked unhappy, but he didn't dare to drive him away with a heavy hand.
Xu Yicheng thought of this, his face turned pale. If Liu Yiming's speculation is correct, then the current situation is really dangerous. After Sun Dianying got Wang Shaoyi, it is very likely that he will be dragged by Sakai Daisuke to dig Tanglin.
This is really the jackal just gone, and the hungry tiger is coming again.
"It's okay, we still have a chance. I asked Fu Gui to save Jiang Mason. Without his guidance, Sun Dianying couldn't find the door of the tomb for a while. Now that Chiang Kai-shek and other high-ranking officials are inspecting in Beijing, he does not dare to delay too long and make a big noise......"
"So what are we going to do?" Liu Yiming asked nervously.
Xu Yicheng patted Liu Yiming's shoulder, looked up at the sky, and the two eyebrows, which had never trembled between life and death just now, were finally twisted together at this time.
"Wei Li has sacrificed his life for this, and the rest is up to me."
