Chapter 42: Rebellion
Father-in-law? I thought to myself, it turns out that this group of people are eunuchs, so it's no wonder that they have to be yin or yang. The eunuch is not in the palace to serve the emperor, why did he come here?
I saw that the person who beat me with a whip just now pointed at this Captain Lin, and said expressionlessly: "A school captain is also worthy of talking to Gonggong Qin?" ”
Captain Lin was not angry, and bowed his hand to the remaining two people and said, "These two must be Father-in-law Zhen, Father-in-law Zhan, look up for a long time!" ”
What is the real father-in-law and the fake father-in-law? I was confused. Eunuchs are not official positions, and it is strange that this captain is so respectful to them!
But Father-in-law Zhen didn't take him seriously at all, rolled his eyelids, and didn't respond to him at all.
Seeing this, Captain Lin coughed dryly and said, "The three fathers-in-law went to my Youzhou, it's really a blessing for Youzhou!" Why didn't you inform us that Lord Xu could entertain us? But it's not a coincidence, we received a report today, saying that there is a key criminal in Xiping Town that we have been tracking down for a long time, Lord Xu ordered us to come and arrest him quickly, and when this errand is completed, can we welcome a few fathers-in-law to the state city as guests? ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look, and finally his eyes fell on me and said, "Master Tao, come with me?" ”
I obediently replied, "Hey! I wanted to move my feet to him. But only heard a "choking" sound, and the gray-robed people behind him drew their knives one after another, and dozens of gray-robed people appeared from all directions, quickly gathered, and formed a confrontation with the black-clothed camp opposite!
Immediately Gonggong Zhen snorted coldly and said: "What is the general series to commit, this person is the imperial court prisoner we are going to bring back to the capital, you want to take it away, first ask me if this whip agrees!" ”
When the other party's words came to this, Captain Lin's good temper was almost exhausted, his face sank, and he said: "Even if it is a criminal of the imperial court, according to the law, it should be arrested and tried by my Youzhou magistrate first, and then handed over step by step. ”
Father-in-law Zhen said angrily: "What special authorization? We're all here, it's the best authorization! ”
Captain Lin said strongly: "We only serve the emperor and the law of the Han Dynasty!" The three fathers-in-law came to me to arrest people for no reason, and killed innocents indiscriminately, I am afraid that they will not be able to make sense everywhere! ”
I guess he may be the leader of the private department mentioned by Rui Wei, looking at this momentum, it is probably because he considers that if he loses the blood furnace and goes back, he will also be killed, so he will simply break the kettle.
The two sides were in an atmosphere of tension and imminent eruption, and Gonggong Qin, who had been silent, suddenly turned around and smiled at Captain Lin and said, "Captain Lin is also reasonable, it is true that we have not thought it through. I'll hand this person over to you first, and I'll hand it over later. ”
Father-in-law Zhen was just about to speak out to express his opposition, but Father-in-law Qin looked at him, and he was immediately silent.
What a pity! How can this be the case? I shouted in my heart.
As soon as Gonggong Qin turned around and got on the horse, he was about to turn the horse's head, only to hear a "whoosh", and an arrow flew straight towards him with a whistling sound, the speed was extremely fast, and he saw that he was already approaching the door in front of him.
But for some reason, though I barely saw him move, the arrow passed through him as if it were through air, and struck directly into the chest of a gray-robed man in the back, who fell to the ground with a whimper.
Then someone shouted: "Someone released a cold arrow!" The people on both sides were already highly nervous, and when they were stimulated by this, the team quickly became agitated, and rushed towards each other in a daze, and when they got up, they saw black shadows flashing, gray robes flying, horses being frightened and stomping, and for a moment dust rose everywhere, and there was chaos.
I shouted to the stunned mayor and the kneeling townspeople, "Run! "I also bowed my body, trying to slip away while the chaos was chaotic. As soon as I took two steps, I suddenly saw a whip shadow coming towards me from the side, and I thought to myself, probably that Grandpa Zhen found out my intentions!
Immediately put his hand into his sleeve and wanted to take out the dagger to resist, but he heard a "pop" sound, and he didn't know where a flying knife flew from, and it was directly rolled into his whip, which slowed down the whip. Then a hand grabbed my arm and dragged me into the crowd, rushing left and right, fighting my way out of the encirclement.
By this time it was almost dark, and we had run a long way away, and we could still hear the sound of killing behind us, but we did not see half of the pursuers. There are so many people, once the fight starts, it is estimated that it will not be easy to stop!
I slowed down, gasping for breath as I said to the man who was pulling me running, "Thank you for saving my life!" ”
He turned around and pulled his face towel, it turned out to be Daddy Yan! He glared at me and said, "Tell you not to come nonsense, how can you send it to the door yourself?" Almost died, you know? ”
I touched the wound on my face, smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't it dangerous!" ”
He sighed: "Stinky boy, you don't know how powerful those people are!" ”
Seeing that the time had come, I stopped, took his arm and said sincerely: "Daddy Yan, you also saw what those people did just now, if I don't stand up, they may really kill all the people in the town!" I don't believe that you are willing to die for them, so you might as well come with me and settle the matter of the Blood Rock Furnace, and don't let this senseless fight continue! ”
In fact, even if I found out that Rui Wei was being targeted, I still had a lot of strategies to get out of the way with them. It's just that I still miss this old man who has saved my friend in my heart, and I want to drag him into the water no matter what!
When he heard me say this, he lowered his eyebrows and groaned. After a while, he said in a dumb voice: "The Digging Ying Regiment will not easily spare any traitor, if you join me, sooner or later you will be killed!" ”
I laughed and said, "Those who dare to inherit the Blood Rock Furnace are still afraid of what kind of murder!" Dad, you are well-informed and skilled in martial arts, we will definitely be able to work together and succeed! ”
He smiled and nodded, as if he had agreed, and I was so happy! After a few more words, he ran in the direction of the town, and quickly disappeared!
I thought to myself, the gray-robed men who ran to reinforce just now should have been originally arranged by the Digging Ying Regiment to besiege the city, and it is estimated that they heard that I had been captured, so they gathered near the town gate. The rest of the town's entrances and exits should be safe now.
Without further ado, I ran close to the base of the city wall, and by a small grove, I saw Rui Wei, who was anxiously waiting.
As soon as I saw her, I gave her a thumbs up and said, "The archery is really good!" ”
That's right, that "cold arrow" is the masterpiece of Rui Wei who is hiding! In order to keep improving, I also deliberately asked her to use the arrow of the man in black in Wang Shaoting's body at the beginning. When I look up afterwards, I won't think I'm doing it.
And the key line "Someone released a cold arrow" is the honorary production of this young master! On the one hand, there are corrupt officials who covet the blood furnace, and on the other hand, there are dead eunuchs who kill people without blinking, if they don't let them fight to the death, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart!
The two of us hurried to the side gate of the town, dragged out the carriage I had prepared from a large haystack, and drove away to Rui Wei's house.
When I arrived at her door, I ran into the yard and saw that there was a mess everywhere, as if I had been robbed. For the time being, I couldn't care about this, so I went straight to the straw hut where I lived, and when I went to the corner of the house, I saw a straw mat more than one person long, rolled horizontally on the ground.
I covered my nose and lifted the straw mat, and inside was a man with his eyes closed, his eyes were blue, his face was pale, his neck was covered with dried blood, he looked like he had been dead for a long time, and more importantly, the body seemed to be beginning to rot, exuding an unbearable stench.
Rui Wei thought I was grinding, so he walked over directly, kicked the straw mat with his foot and said, "Don't pretend, get up quickly!" ”
I saw that the "corpse" suddenly opened his eyes, sat up with his hands and feet, covered his chest and took a few deep breaths, and said, "Oh, it's smoked to death!" Then he wiped his face with his sleeve, revealing his original face, but it was Wang Shaoting!
Rui Wei saw that he was safe and sound, and said with admiration: "I didn't expect your trick to be quite effective!" ”
Wang Shaoting also smiled and said, "Yes! After that, he immediately reacted that Rui Wei was saying that he was a monkey, his brows furrowed, and his face was angry.
As soon as I saw that this pair of happy enemies came again, I hurriedly played a round and said: "It's still Senior Sister, you dress him up well, and Shaoting is also very similar, otherwise I wouldn't have hidden it from those people!" ”
But in retrospect, this was always a risky move, and there was no way out.
At the beginning, I thought that Rui Wei might have led the man in black to this vicinity, and I couldn't predict what situation we would encounter once we went out, and Wang Shaoting, who was seriously injured, was quite risky. So I asked Rui Wei to dress him up and pretend to be a dead man.
When the man in black saw us going out, there was a considerable chance that he would enter Rui Wei's house to search, and the only thing that might avoid their ears and eyes was probably a dead man. Of course, makeup alone is not enough, once someone comes up to take a closer look, it is very easy to show the horse's feet, so I put a killer feature on him - a piece of musk!
It was brought in the medicine left by Daddy Yan, and it had the effect of reducing swelling and dissipating stasis. Don't look at the name "incense", in fact, this thing stinks! Although there are still some differences with the smell of corpses, it is enough to blind ordinary people! The rabble of the acrab, for the sake of the intercourse, would never endure the stench and go forward to turn over a corpse!
I helped him up, and the three of them looked at each other and said, "Let's go!" And when they got out, they got into the carriage, and I drove southward.
Not far away, there was a tea shed, and it was completely dark at this time, and there was no one in the shed. I stopped the carriage, got out of it, and sat down on the bench.
Rui Wei got out of the car, walked over and asked me strangely, "Why don't you leave?" ”
I looked at her sparkling eyes in the night and said seriously, "Someone needs to make a serious decision here." ”
She asked curiously, "What decision?" ”
"Silly girl," I said with a smile, "I'm a prisoner of the imperial court, Wang Shaoting is a remnant of Weilongshan, the two of us are definitely going to leave here, but you are different, you can completely say that I am just a stranger who came to you to catch ghosts, and then continue to be your female heavenly master here, so go to the end of the world with us, is it really okay?" ”
