Chapter 40: Interception
The white clouds are ethereal, the green mountains are bright, looking from afar, Xuzhou, which has entered the spring, is as beautiful as a painting.
The carriage was driving on the post road that was not too wide, and Chen Deng, who was sitting in the carriage pretending to be a businessman, frowned and looked at the information coming in front of him.
Chen Deng is not too worried about defeating Lu Bu, although Lu Bu is brave, but he is just a brave man, his plan this time is quite meticulous, even those scholars in Donghai and Xiapi County do not know Chen Deng's true intentions, Lu Bu is even more unlikely to guess, as long as he can't guess, this time, Lu Bu is facing a situation that is almost certain death.
However, Cao Cao was overturned by Lu Bu in the case of taking the advantage, which Chen Deng couldn't figure out in the past month, and he also had to think about the deep meaning behind Cao Cao's move this time, why could he remind himself but not his father? Running out of time? Or ...... Intentionally?
Thinking of the news from the north, Yuan Shao now gathered a large number of soldiers and horses in Liyang, and its purpose no longer needs to be guessed, at this time, Cao Cao failed to capture Lu Bu, and even intended to let Xuzhou form a situation of confrontation between the Chen family and Lu Bu, such a result, obviously not very trusting or it can also be said that Cao Cao has been wary of the Chen family in his heart.
He didn't understand why such an eloquent figure would make such a fool at such a time, Xu Chu's matter, Chen Deng had also heard about it, if Cao Cao suspected it or even started to target the Chen family because of this, it would be somewhat far-fetched.
But no matter what the reason is, being viciously targeted by such a tyrant who is likely to end the troubled times in the future is never a good thing for the Chen family.
Lu Bu is just a temporary trouble, but sometimes the hostility of a reckless man will be more direct and difficult to accept than a tyrant like Cao Cao, Chen Deng never thought that the first thing Lu Bu did after Cao Jun retreated was not to restore his power, but to come directly to the Chen family for trouble.
Thinking that the Chen family was slaughtered by Lu Bu, and with Chen Deng's cultivation, he couldn't help but give birth to an evil fire at this moment.
"Young master, in another thirty miles Quyang, before sunset, you should be able to arrive." The horseman who drove the car was a general of the Chen family, Chen Deng had also recruited a lot of warriors in Guangling in the past few years, and now he had to face Na Lu Bu, Chen Deng brought all the elites around him this time.
"There's no hurry." Chen Deng looked up at the window, he tried his best to do things perfectly, and said slowly: "Since we are businessmen now, don't make a quick march to arouse suspicion." ”
Although it was unlikely that Lu Bu's scouts would spread here, Chen Deng still felt that he should be cautious.
The convoy continued to move forward, and the cold light that swept through the air did not attract many people's attention, but the scream that followed made many people vigilant, but it was already a little late.
The guards on the carriage subconsciously drew their swords, but the cold light had already swept in front of them.
The knife was only half pulled out, and there was a pain in the chest, but in the feeling, the chest was like being hit by a heavy hammer, and the body was involuntarily hit by the huge force on the carriage, and the tail of the arrow that sank into the chest did not become clear in the line of sight until this moment.
In this world, there is such archery skills!?
The general's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked blankly into the distance, where he could vaguely see a fiery red war horse and a tall figure on horseback.
At this moment, the thought came to an abrupt halt, and the head of the commendation hung down weakly, but it was already out of breath.
"What's the matter?" Chen Deng was startled by the bloody arrows that suddenly emerged from the wooden plank of the carriage, and hurriedly lifted the curtain, but what he saw was the head of the general's powerless blow off and the cluster of arrows that pierced deep into his chest.
Not much blood flowed out because it was plugged by the arrow shaft, but Chen Deng's brain was a little blank.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
The terrible sound of arrows was endless, and the soldiers on horseback around them had not fully reacted, and one after another arrows landed, Chen Deng hurriedly looked up at this time, and at the other end of the post road, the figure of a knight gradually became clear in his sight.
The other party did not directly impact, and even the horses under the crotch were slowly moving forward as if they were strolling leisurely, but the bowstring in his hand continued to tremble, and every time he trembled, it would take away the life of a general.
"Poof~"
The huge power of the bearer on the cold arrow shaft flew the body of a general from the horseback, in Chen Deng's memory, this is the power of the general siege crossbow, can do this step with manpower, looking at the whole world, I am afraid there is only one person!
Chen Deng's face gradually became gloomy, and his heart sank little by little with the constant roar of arrows in the air.
The convoy began to be chaotic, in order to avoid being detected by Lu Bu, Chen Deng took the strategy of breaking the whole into parts, and sent the troops to Quyang in batches, each batch of men and horses was not much, he was not the last group, and each team would regularly send scouts to communicate back and forth, that is, the other party came to attack for the first time.
Betrayed!?
This is the first reaction in Chen Deng's heart, if it weren't for this, the other party would have noticed Quyang's movement far away in Tanxian County, and just happened to rob him so appropriately, this probability is too low, but who is it?
Chen Deng didn't care about Lu Bu at the moment, there was a mess outside the car, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, it was Lu Bu's cavalry that arrived, even if he was disdainful of Lu Bu's IQ in his heart, Chen Deng had to admit that when Lu Bu rode on a war horse and stepped on the battlefield, he was invincible, and what Chen Deng wanted to know more at this moment was who was the person who betrayed him?
Even if it was Quyang or Haixi's people, they didn't know which group of people they were hiding in, and how did Lu Bu know about it and react so quickly?
There are no more than three people who can know this, but these three people, no matter which one of them, can not betray themselves.
Chen Deng didn't care about the battle outside the car, at the moment when it was Lu Bu, Chen Deng knew that he was in a catastrophe today, so he was very calm, and even silently took out a wine jug from the carriage, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank the wine silently.
He never thought that the layout he thought he was most proud of in his life was to help Cao Cao exterminate Lu Bu, but the final result was to push the entire Chen family into a state of no return......
