Chapter 162: Halfway Killing
Early in the morning, Hanxin looked at the letterhead in his hand and smiled coldly, after casting the net for so long, it was time for the harvest.
Chen Yuan stood aside, and seeing that Hanxin was in a good mood, he couldn't help but speak: "Childe, is there any good news?" So happy. ”
Han Xin slowly squeezed the letterhead in his hand, "Several ministers of the Xiao family have been transferred out of Longdu, isn't it good news?" As he spoke, he threw the thin piece of paper into the brazier. The paper caught fire for a moment, and finally turned into a faint spark and disappeared.
Although Ling Yan is not a great talent, this suspicious virtue is in the same vein as Ling Xiong. I thought that it would be blocked by the Queen Mother, after all, it was her mother's family, but I didn't expect this Ling Yan to move quickly, but I was afraid that before the news reached the harem, the holy decree was issued. First cut and then played, but it is also powerful.
Chen Yuan was a little excited when he heard the chilling words, "Childe, in this way, it is only a matter of time before the Xiao family falls." ”
Hanxin bowed his head slightly, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by hurried footsteps. I saw Wu Xu hurriedly entering the house, walking too quickly, and gasping slightly, "Childe, Xiao Yan is back." ”
Hanxin was still curious about why Xiao Yan didn't move for a long time, and didn't want to secretly return to Longdu already a long time ago. Originally, I was waiting for an opportunity that would make it difficult for the Xiao family to turn over, but I didn't expect it to arrive so soon.
"What is Ling Yan's reaction?" Coldly expected, if this Ling Yan knew that Xiao Yan had secretly returned to Beijing regardless of the war, it would be difficult not to be angry.
Wu Xu hurriedly replied: "Sure enough, as expected by the son, Ling Yan has been sending people to secretly supervise Lord Xiao Yan, and Lord Xiao has only come back on the front foot, and the news has already been handed to Ling Yan. Ling Yan had already sent people to ambush in Fuxi Valley, ten miles away from Longdu, which was the only way back to Longdu. This time, I am afraid that Xiao Yan will not be able to escape. ”
The coldness in his cold eyes brought a little bloodlust, "Such a wonderful scene, how can we miss it, let's go, go and see." So saying, he walked out. Chen Yuan and Wu Xu followed closely.
On the long narrow road, several horses galloped wildly against the wind, rolling up clouds of dust.
"General, in ten miles, it will be Longdu, we have been on the road for four days in a row, and the horses are already exhausted, why don't you rest for a while, let the horses rest too!"
The guard on the side reminded, but was stopped by Xiao Yan's horsewhip.
Xiao Yan whipped the horse fiercely, "No, General Ben has to rush back as soon as possible, the situation is urgent, and there must be no delay." ”
The guard didn't dare to speak, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
I don't know when the quiet valley begins, and countless birds and birds are startled, scattering and flying. Seeing that something was slightly wrong around him, the guards on the side carefully reminded, "General, there may be an ambush." ”
Xiao Yan also sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly pulled the reins, the horse was pulled hard, and suddenly felt pain, raised the premise and fluttered a few times, but still stopped, and spun in place.
In the quiet surrounding jungle, countless archers suddenly stood up, looking at Xiao Yan and a group of cronies in the valley with fierce eyes. The sharp arrows glowed with cold, and the tight bowstrings exuded bloodthirsty murderous aura.
Xiao Yan saw that he was outnumbered, so he had to soften his breath, "I don't know when Xiao offended you and wanted to kill them all like this?" ”
There was silence around the valley, and I don't know who shouted: "Shoot! ”
All the arrows came from all sides like wild horses on the loose. In an instant, Xiao Yan's cronies around him suffered countless deaths and injuries. There are only a few kung fu that are acceptable, and they draw their swords and try their best to resist.
But the other party came prepared, and this was the end, another batch of arrows cut through the air and struck suddenly, this time several guards firmly blocked Xiao Yan in the middle, planning to use the meat wall to pave a way for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan watched the cronies around him fall one by one, his tired eyes were already bloodshot and red.
couldn't stand the ferocity of the other party, and the guards who blocked the arrows for Xiao Yan became arrow targets one by one, and finally exchanged blood for a way out.
The horses were all shot to death, Xiao Yan desperately escaped, and disappeared along the fog in the valley.
The archers all over the mountains still haven't found any trace of Xiao Yan. Hanxin also sent people to look for it, but still found nothing, this Xiao Yan was like the world had evaporated, leaving no trace.
"Let's go, go back to Longdu." Hanxin issued an order, but Chen Yuan said puzzledly: "Childe, do you just let Xiao Yan go?" ”
"Cutting grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, I understand this truth, Ling Yan understands it even more. I'm sure he'll be more anxious than we are, and we'll just wait and see what happens. As he spoke, he turned over his horse, and in the dust, he had already run a few feet away.
At dusk, the people of Longdu were full of voices and flocked to the direction of the palace.
Hanxin took Chen Yuan and Wu Xu to go back to Fengxian Tower, but when they saw the flow of people, they simply followed to have a look.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw the people pointing and discussing.
Han Xin looked in the direction pointed by the people, but saw that on the magnificent city tower, Xiao Yan's head was hanging high, his hair was messy, his eyes were closed, his face was gray, and his brows were closed as if to show the suffering he had suffered before he died. The setting sun shone on his face, adding a little loneliness.
"Childe, it's Xiao Yan, how can it be?" Chen Yuan opened his mouth puzzled. If Ling Yan killed it, how could he hang his head at the palace gate, but if it wasn't killed by Ling Yan, who else could there be? Although this Xiao Yan is not a top master, he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he can cut his neck with such a knife, what a powerful person he should be.
Hanxin pondered for a moment, but as if he thought of something, he hurriedly turned the horse's head and returned to Fengxian Tower.
"Xiao Yan, did you kill it?" Hanxin had just entered Situ Lie's room, but he collided with the oncoming wind.
The legacy is also a dusty servant, and it looks like it has been far away.
Situ Lie listened to the chilling question and shook his head, "When this king's men and horses found Xiao Yan, there was only a corpse, and the head was no longer there. ”
Han Xin knew that Situ Lie was telling the truth, there were only people in this world who hated the Xiao family so much, except for himself.
hurriedly went downstairs, not caring about Situ Lie's words, and was about to go out with a cold heart. But he was suddenly blocked by the smoke.
"Miss, save Ge Chen's life! Ge Chen was poisoned. ”
The foot that I was about to lift up, I took it back, and asked again uncertainly: "What are you talking about?" ”
Liuyan cried out all of a sudden, his eyes were red, "At noon today, I asked Ge Chen to help move the new batch of wine into the wine cellar, I was afraid that Ge Chen would steal Miss's peach blossom brew like last time, so I have been watching him in the wine cellar, and I don't know where the snake came rushing towards me, Ge Chen was bitten by a snake in order to help me, the wound was originally bright red, and it looked non-toxic, but it was only an hour, and the wound was black, and now Ge Chen has fainted, I am afraid that after a while, Ge Chen will die." As he spoke, he shed smoke and tears like rain, and sniffed one after another.
Han Xin heard the words of the smoke and hurriedly walked into Ge Chen's room. I saw Ge Chen lying on the bed, his face pale, and his lips were already black.
"Send someone to call for the best doctor in Longdu immediately." Before the cold words fell, Chen Yuan had already sent someone to do it.
After a while, the white-bearded doctor was dragged into the room by Chen Yuanlian.
Out of breath, he began to treat Ge Chen. After looking at Wen Wen for a long time, he said slowly: "This guy is just planted with a general slight snake venom, and he can't die, but he looks scary." When the old man prescribes a prescription for him, there is no need to worry about a bowl of medicine. As he spoke, he took the brush and walked on the paper for a moment, handed the recipe to Liuyan, and instructed: "Go and decoct the medicine!" ”
Liuyan didn't care about anything else, and hurried out of the door with the prescription.
Hanxin looked at Ge Chen's pale face, reacted suddenly, and looked at the hour again, it was already dark.
hurriedly explained to Chen Yuan, and then flashed out of the door.
The huge Xiao family's mansion is still magnificent, but in the quiet courtyard, you can only occasionally see a few people, but it seems a lot lonely. It's not as lively as before, and it's not as lively as it used to be.
When I arrived at the main house in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, I saw a person standing in Xiao Chong's room. Dressed in a cloud brocade dress, with a golden crown and a high bundle, a handsome and unparalleled face, and a thin and dusty temperament, just like the gods outside the nine heavens, you can only see each other in your dreams.
