vs 94 Chapter 59 Ambush!
Ten miles outside Fengzhou City, a long pavilion, five miles and a short pavilion, because Yiwei and Song Zaitian, Wei Changfeng are all from famous families, although there have been conflicts in Xiaozhushan before, but in addition to Wei Changfeng and Duanmu worry-free, they have been unveiled at the thank you banquet. Walking slowly together, talking and laughing, they passed the two long pavilions unconsciously, until the third long pavilion, Gu Yiran and Song Zaitin reined in their horses and asked the Wei family to stay.
Thirty miles to the suburbs is about the same, Wei Changfeng then let people set up a banquet in the long pavilion, for everyone to eat, and ordered the family tricks and musicians to dance and play music, and then as the host to the guests who were sent off in turn to toast and pray - so it took more than an hour, and this set of suburban gifts according to the ancient rites of the famous family was completed.
And Wei Changying also put on a hat, got down from Song Zaishui's carriage, and sent everyone away with Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan.
Seeing that the dust on the official road was gradually resting, and the people and horses were gone, Wei Changying said to the two younger brothers with some dismay: "Let's go back too." β
Wei Changfeng nodded, and someone drove the empty carriage that had been following behind him before, and asked Wei Changying to board the car. Someone else brought Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan's mounts and served the two of them on their horses.
When seeing you off, in order to show your reluctance to the guests, of course, you walk slowly. When I go back, because the guests have already left, I don't have to deliberately slow down. It's just that although Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan's mounts are divine horses, they have to take care of Wei Changying's ride, so the journey is only a little faster than when they saw them off.
β¦β¦ Because of this, when the second pavilion that he passed by was already in sight, the stumbling rope suddenly pulled up on the road only tripped the two guards at the front of the line. Although the guards behind were shocked, they did not gallop with all their strength because their mounts were not galloping, and they all avoided tripping over the tripping horse at the last moment.
"Who is so bold!" The guards were so angry that someone subconsciously roared, but before the man's words fell, a sudden shout rang out: "Be on guard!" Someone wants to be unfavorable to Childe and Miss! β
As if to prove this sentence - on both sides of the official road, suddenly there was a bowstring sound! Then the arrows rained down, and they all fell on the guards who had not fully reacted!
"Protect Childe!" Jiang Zheng, who had drunk heavily to remind everyone before, reminded loudly again!
Wei Qing's face was pale, his reaction was quick, and after Jiang Zheng drank it, he was stunned, so at the moment of the first string sound, he jumped out of his horse and threw Wei Changfeng under the horse in the air. At this moment, the two of them happened to block the rain of arrows with their mounts, listening to the endless swishing sound in the forest, the brothers in the next room who were young and had a sudden encounter with life and death all had the joy and fear of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe in an instant!
It was only after a few breaths that such emotions were born, and they were dispersed by the chaotic scene of horses neighing. The two of them didn't dare to take their heads at the moment, Wei Qing was about to order all the guards nearby to dismount and come over to protect Wei Changfeng, but he saw that although the guards around Wei Gaochuan not far away had been surrounding him, they didn't know how to dismount and dodge, and they were still swinging their knives to open the arrows that were shooting at Wei Gaochuan, it seemed that they were trying to escape with their mounts, and hurriedly reminded, "Fourth son, get off the horse quickly!" β
But I heard Wei Gaochuan crying: "What...... How could there be an assassin?! It's official! β
Not only is it an official road, but it is only twenty miles away from the city of Fengzhou Prefecture, in this kind of place, the children of the Fengzhou Wei clan will actually be ambushed, and the meaning of the inner meaning can be understood as long as you think about it - it is not as simple as the revenge of the remnants of Fengqi Mountain, it must be a big conspiracy!
Wei Gaochuan is just that, you must know that Wei Changfeng is not only Wei Huan's only grandson, but also in terms of his own talent and ability, he is definitely the best among Wei Huan's grandchildren! If there is no accident, he must be the next generation of the lord of Rui Yu Tang - in broad daylight, he ambushed and killed the next lord of the Wei clan outside Fengzhou City, if this is the same as the entire Wei clan!
β¦β¦ Even the royal family would not dare to do this!
Wei Qing quickly thought about the origin of the assassin, and ordered the guards who also rolled off the saddle and came to guard Wei Changfeng: "You stay away and shout, promise Qian and Bao official positions, as long as they don't hurt the son and the young lady, everything is easy to say!" In front of the valve owner, I will bear it! β
The guard understood, took advantage of the panic, and went to the oblique place. Wei Qing turned to Wei Changfeng and said solemnly: "The thief may not be credible...... Childe, we must leave the official road, this official road is unobstructed, and now we can also use the horses to avoid the stray arrows, once the mount dies, it will inevitably ......"
Wei Changfeng's face was pale, and the arm he was holding couldn't help shaking, but he interrupted and asked, "Where is the eldest sister?" Go find the eldest sister! He asked sharply as he tried to get up and look at Wei Changying's carriage.
"At this moment, the rain of arrows has not stopped, and the rash probe will be injured by the arrows." Wei Qing hurriedly held him down and said urgently, "The eldest lady's carriage is made of fine paulownia wood, which is extremely strong, as long as you hide in the corner, you will be fine...... Moreover, the eldest lady has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and today Jiang Zhengye is accompanying her, just by the side of the carriage, Jiang Zheng tasted darts in his early years, and he has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and now he is afraid that he has protected the eldest lady to retreat to the hidden place on the side of the road! β
Wei Qing's words make sense, thinking that his sister, who has always been unconscious, plays small dance guns and sticks, practices bows and arrows, and is also bold, on an occasion like today, he will not be as weak as his cousin Song Zaishui - Wei Changfeng was slightly calm, and thought of Jiang Zheng: It is said that the reason why this Jiang guard was able to become Wei Changying's teacher and apprentice was completely by relying on martial arts to fight in a guard.
And Jiang Zheng is not only martial arts, he is a family heirloom dart master, as Wei Qing said, he has rich experience in the rivers and lakes.
There is such a person by Wei Changying's side, coupled with Wei Changying's own agility and vigor, Wei Changfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wei Gaochuan shaking on the horse, and then fell headlong!
He was shocked and subconsciously said, "Fourth brother! β
"Childe is silent!" Seeing that Wei Changfeng still wanted to run to the place where Wei Gaochuan fell off the horse to check the life and death of this cousin, Wei Qing's face changed, and he pulled him back with his backhand, lowered his voice and said sharply, "The thief can't come for us and other guards, it must be for the two sons!" The fourth son of Fang Cai refused to get off the horse for a long time, for fear that he would have been seen by the thief for a long time, and now that the son has passed, isn't it sent to the door? Moreover, the fourth prince just fell off his horse, and the guards around him also fell into the saddle with him to visit, so his life may not be in danger...... If the son goes, once he is injured, it will drag down the fourth son! β
Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream not far away, which made Wei Qing and Wei Changfeng's hearts sink even more - it was the voice of the guard who had been ordered by Wei Qing to try to make peace with the thief!
It seems that these people are determined to kill them all!
There are not many people and horses standing around in such a situation, and they originally only had Wei Changying and a carriage on their return trip today, and the rest of them all rode horses. This official road is spacious, and although the tripping horse rope only tripped over two guards, Fengzhou has been peaceful for a long time, and no one has ever thought that Wei Changfeng and the three of them would encounter an ambush on the official road twenty miles outside the state city - it was because after seeing their companions tripped, the guards did not disperse immediately, and still gathered together, and some even jumped off their horses to help their companions who were pressed by their mounts to get up......
This formation led to the first wave of arrows, and although only a few people were killed or wounded, most of the mounts were affected!
Only one or two of these mounts were hit by the arrows and were wounded to the vital point and fell to their deaths, but most of them were frightened and jumped up unrestrained by their masters!
And most of the guards haven't dismounted yet, and if the mounts are messed up, the end can be imagined!
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, neither Wei Qing nor Wei Changfeng would have been able to believe that the elite and neat guards of the Wei family, who had been carefully selected from the selfish army, would be so vulnerable!
But now is not the time to reflect on this matter, Wei Qing understands: if he can't retreat into the forest next to the road before losing the barrier, the thief can kill everyone in the road by just continuing to shoot arrows!
Even when they die, they won't be able to see any of the thieves show up!
Although the thieves are now hiding in the forests on both sides, as long as they also enter the forest, the opponent's bows and arrows will not play a big role. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, Wei Qing still has the strength to fight! Stay on the official road like this, not to mention that they didn't bring bows and arrows to send off guests today, even if they do, the official road is unobstructed, and the thieves hide behind the wood, how can they gain the upper hand in shooting? After all, although it is mid-autumn now, the ground in Fengzhou is warm and warm, and the grass and trees in the forest are still blooming. If you are lucky, you may even be able to get rid of these ambushed people after entering the forest.
Just as Wei Qing was looking around quickly, trying to find a hidden way to retreat into the side of the road from the corpses all over the ground, he heard a sharp whistle in the forest of Daozuo - his heart sank, and sure enough, looking from between the legs of a horse with several arrows in its body and still panting and unwilling to fall, a group of black-clothed masked people in the forest rushed out with blades in hand, and the leader carried a golden-backed nine-ring broadsword, and said hesitantly: "Brothers, most of the Wei family's eagle dogs have been killed and injured, and there is nothing left to fear - kill!" β
Wei Changfeng also saw this scene, he took a deep breath, but the young man's instinctive trembling after seeing the fight and blood for the first time stopped, and commanded Wei Qing in a deep voice: "The thieves have been premeditated for a long time, and now we are no longer manpower enough to resist...... You don't have to protect me anymore! Flee back to the city alone and tell your grandfather about today's events! Avenge us! β
Wei Qing didn't care that these five sons were so young, but they were still so decisive in panic, and their hearts also rose a little admiration for Wei Changfeng, but he shook his head and said: "The state city is only twenty miles away from here, and this is an official road, but we can see half a pedestrian on the way back today?" These people dare to ambush and kill the son and the young lady, I am afraid that they have been prepared for a long time! Let's not talk about whether the subordinates can escape alone, just say that the lord ordered his subordinates to follow the son, the son was born, the subordinates may not be born, the son died, but the subordinates must die first! β
"Stupid!" Wei Changfeng saw that he still had to show loyalty at this time, and he was so angry that he almost fainted! "If you don't go, who will spread the message to your grandfather......"
"With such a big deal on the official road, does Childe think that the lord will not be able to find out in the future?" Wei Qing sighed, this matter could not be concealed from the location from the identity of the person who was ambushed to Chenguang, and in this case, these people still made a bold move...... Obviously, they were sure enough to deal with Wei Huan and Old Madam Song's crazy revenge afterwards!
- Who the hell is behind the scenes?!
Wei Changfeng also thought about this question, but now he didn't have time to think deeply, the masked man had already ordered the leader to inspect the entire ambushed field one by one, and every dead or wounded mount was removed to see if anyone was hiding in it. Not only that, but if there are people who fall to the ground covered in blood, they will also make up a few knives in the neck and chest to prevent the possibility of fake death or fake death.
Not only that, but as they moved forward, there were archers hiding in the forest, and when the guards tried to fight them, an arrow flew and drove into the throat!
It's a lore game!
Wei Changfeng thought of his grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and sister at this moment...... More than ten years flashed in front of his eyes, and his ambitions since childhood were about to end before they began, and the young man couldn't tell whether he was panic or sadness or unwillingness, watching the masked leader personally order someone to push away a dead horse in front of him, he shook his fist hard, but raised his head even more!
Seeing the luxurious clothes of the guards on the young man Wei Qing was protecting, the leader's eyes lit up and he laughed: "The noble son of the Wei family is not dead yet...... Are you the fourth son, or the fifth son?! β
As he spoke, a sharp blade was handed to his throat! Obviously, this leader doesn't care if it's Wei Changfeng or Wei Gaochuan, his purpose is to slaughter all the people of the Wei family!
Wei Changfeng looked at him coldly, neither answered nor begged for mercy, and let the sharp blade cut to his neckβbut the masked leader laughed halfway, but stopped abruptly, and the sharp blade that was about to cut Wei Changfeng's throat also fell to the ground powerlessly after a pause!
This sudden change shocked everyone, and Wei Changfeng looked at the long sword that suddenly appeared on the masked leader's forehead in confusion - this long sword completely submerged into the leader's eyebrows, piercing the entire skull, leaking out of the back of his head, and draped red and white mixed blood and brains!
In the silence of the audience, Wei Changfeng heard a familiar and crisp voice behind him: "Changfeng! Don't go yet! β
It's Wei Changying!
