Section 120 Turmoil
The feather arrow came again, and Zong Ming used the assassin as a shield in front of him.
There were a few "plops" sounds, and five or six arrows were all plunged into the man's body.
Zong Ming took advantage of the momentum and rolled into the roadside ditch.
The leader of the assassins looked at it carefully and shouted, "Chase, don't let them go......"
When even five or six people jumped into the ditch with weapons in hand and chased after them.
Zong Ming and the two supported each other and walked behind the remaining brothers of the righteous gate.
When the two of them formed Shen Mu at the end of the year, they were already listed as the captains of each team. At this time, in the face of such a dangerous situation, it is natural to bear the brunt of it.
Zong Ming smiled bitterly: "Little Pony, our brothers may leave here again today......
Ma Linzi said: "With brothers by your side, what else is there to regret." Eighteen years later, let's drink wine and eat meat together again......"
The two of them touched their fists and looked at each other with a wry smile.
Suddenly, a cannon rang out.
Behind him, there were horses' hooves, and in the darkness, countless cavalry rushed into the battle formation with torches......
The cavalry came very quickly, and in a blink of an eye they were near the post station.
They were not in a hurry to attack, but ran in circles and surrounded the people in the battle formation.
The leader of the team was Murong Hui's partial general, Yan Shun.
When the cavalry surrounded this place, he raised his voice and shouted: "Xiao Xiao thief, I am Yan Shun, the general of the Zhennan Wangfu." If you are resisting, you will be killed......"
Zong Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
It seems that the reinforcements have finally arrived......
But why are you people so late?
When the assassins saw the arrival of a large group of cavalry, they suddenly raised their swords and weapons and killed themselves on the spot......
When Yan Shun saw that they were raising their swords, he secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly shouted, "Wait......"
But the group of assassins didn't leave a single living mouth, and they all fell to the ground, and even those who were injured and fell to the ground picked up their weapons and pierced their hearts!
What a ruthless tactic......
What a horrible person!
No wonder dozens of them were able to chase hundreds of people and slash and kill......
The momentum of self-slaughter like this really made Zong Ming and the others stunned!
Yan Shun let out a long sigh and ordered the cavalry team to hurry up and save people.
Of the hundreds of merchants, less than sixty remained, and most were wounded.
Only a few nobles were protected by the personal guards!
Outside the inn, there were dead bodies everywhere, with severed limbs and stumps covering the entire road, and blood stained the earth red, converging into countless streams......
The fire spread, scorching several corpses, and the smoke in the air added a pungent stench!
The living, did not begin to rejoice. Instead, he viciously began to question Yan Shun and the others......
It should be blamed, but it should be saved first!
However, in their opinion, saving the dead and helping the wounded is Yun Zhaoguo's business!
Duanmu Xi took the lead and scolded Yan Shun for a while, and the interpreter translated: "The dignified Yunzhao actually protects the business groups of various countries like this...... What do you people eat? Every one of the people who died here is more noble than you...... Now that so many people have died, you'd better give us a reasonable explanation!"
Kakadar's cheek was cut by a stray arrow, and at this time he was also angry and said: "Rice bucket, rice bucket! I will definitely report to His Majesty the Emperor when I go back, and take down all you dereliction of duty and ask for guilt!"
Everyone, you and I don't stop talking.
There was only one interpreter with the army, and there was no time to translate at this time, so he had to ask: "General Yan, this ......?"
Yan Shun smiled coldly and said, "No need to translate, let them scold!"
Everyone suddenly saw that the interpreter was not speaking, and for some reason, the scolding became louder!
Yan Shun turned a deaf ear, he was just a general, acting on military orders.
Orders and forbidden, everything else, has nothing to do with you.
From Yan Shun's point of view, I don't care if you want to ask for sin, I care if you die or die...... Except for military orders, everything else is fleeting.
Zong Ming and the others took this opportunity to count the brothers of the righteous gas gate, except for the two of them, there were only six brothers left.
Zong Ming felt a cramp in his heart, those brothers who were lying on the ground and died, just now they were still fighting with themselves, and in just half an hour, everyone was separated by yin and yang......
Sun Yike stumbled over from behind the army. He was overjoyed when he saw that Zong Ming and the others were still there. Looking around, he didn't see Shen Mu, and opened his mouth to ask, "Where is Brother Shen?"
Zong Ming's originally suppressed tears couldn't help but burst out when he asked him like this......
Sun Yike's heart was cold, and he asked Ma Linzi again: "Brother Shen, ...... he?"
Ma Linzi choked up and said, "Mr. Shen...... Mr. Shen he ...... Didn't escape!"
Sun Yike's head "buzzed", his feet staggered, and he howled: "Brother Shen, I'm ...... It's late...... My grandson can't stand you......"
Although the two of them have just met, for Sun Yike, Shen Mu is his Bole, and everyone else thinks that he is an old scholar and a book madman. Only Shen Mu was willing to sit down and listen to what he had to say......
However, when Sun Yike didn't have time to express his gratitude, Shen Mu was already "no longer in the world"!
For officials of all sizes in Xingzhai County, tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.
Father-in-law Qiu's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted hysterically at the officials!
originally thought that if I won Zhu Cheng, I would be able to make a difference, but I didn't expect this matter to be so serious today.
If it weren't for his carelessness, he would be eager to take credit. If the officials and troops of Murong Mansion are still left at the post station, there may not be such a big mistake.
The post station was destroyed, and one hundred and fifty-three merchants from the eight countries were killed and thirty-one seriously injured......
The reason why there are so few injured people is because of the death of those "assassins"!
Gonggong Qiu currently has only one idea, to find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible and give an explanation to the businessmen of the eight countries.
But the attacking assassins all cut themselves, leaving no one alive, so where to find the "behind-the-scenes player"!
I have to say that this errand was the one that Qiu Gongping took over that gave him the most headache and scared him.
I thought I could show off my might in the name of the Internal Affairs Office, but I didn't expect to hold a thunderbolt.
On the contrary, Zhu Biao, who has always been depressed, is a little happy in his heart.
The official army was withdrawn by order of Gonggong Qiu, and the court investigated it, and he could completely shirk it.
And Zhu Cheng's murder case has a place to maneuver because of tonight's attack.
The younger brother has to live, and he can be counted as having an explanation to the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs.
However, it is still necessary to find out where the assassins came from......
Mobilize all resources, do everything you can, do your best. If the murderer can be found, then not only will he have nothing to lose, but he may also be able to make a big profit.
After all, Xingzhai County belonged to Dingzhou Mansion, and the official document of the herald was sent to Yu Yonghe's Mansion in Dingzhou overnight.
It's a pity that Yu Yonghe is not in the mansion, and the official documents are received by the king of the city guard.
When Lord Wang saw the paperwork, where did he dare to be half lazy, so he mobilized people overnight and rushed to Xingzhai County.
On the way, I have always wondered what kind of person dares to do something to the post station of the government......
There is one more person who has the same question.
The east is whitening, and on the official road from Guzhou to Dingzhou, a carriage gallops by.
The driver was a burly man.
He drove well, and the car was very fast, but there was hardly a trace of bumps.
From time to time, the whip in his hand was raised, urging a white horse pulling the cart.
There was a man sitting cross-legged in the car, and the whole person was hidden under a thin mattress, and it was impossible to see the person's appearance.
Maybe it was because the carriage was running too fast, and the night wind poured in, and it was a little cold.
The man wrapped the futon tightly and coughed: "Old song, slow down......"
The man who was driving the car listened and pulled the reins.
"Okay......"
"Lao Qu, how far is it from Dingzhou?"
"There are probably more than 100 miles left, don't worry, you can get there before noon......"
The man in the car was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's better to hurry up, my heart is finally up and down, and I feel that something big will happen!"
"Holo...... Sir, rest in peace, I'll call you when it's time!"
A sound of horses' hooves came from the road ahead, and the man who was driving the carriage subconsciously leaned over to the side of the road!
The horse was approaching in a blink of an eye, and when the carriage was about to pass, the knight suddenly reined in the horse.
The knight inserted two small flags, stopped the horse and turned over, got off the horse, half-knelt on the ground, and said handsomely: "Mr. Qiqi, Xing Zhai is urgent!"
The man who was driving the car took the letter from the knight's hand and handed it to the man in the car.
The man glanced at the contents of the letter in a faint light, folded it back into the envelope, leaned out and handed it back to the knight.
"Report to the little prince, be sure to act according to the plan. ”
The knight said "yes," and took the letter and put it back in his backpack.
Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light, and the knight leaped sharply, and a dagger in his hand stabbed straight at the man in the carriage.
This change came so quickly that in the blink of an eye, the dagger had already stabbed the man's heart.
A little further, the skin will pierce the skin, the heart will pierce, and the man in the carriage will return home......
But it was only a short distance of one minute, and no matter how hard the knight tried, he couldn't make a single cent!
It's as if the body is frozen!
The knight felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then he was lifted up in the air. Just about to wave the dagger to resist, Tianling Gai was suddenly slapped by a hard object, his eyes immediately spread, and his body twitched twice, and he was already dead......
The man in the carriage sighed and said, "Old song, why don't you leave a ...... alive?"
"Whoever is unfavorable to the lord will be killed!"
"Alright...... Don't make your own decisions in the future, I always have to ask one or two questions to ......"
"Hao Le ......" Lao Qu, who was driving the car, dropped the dead body in his hand, raised his foot and kicked the corpse into the grass on the side of the road. Then he clapped his hands, his face was very indifferent, as if killing someone was a common thing for him.
"Don't go to Dingzhou City, turn around from the front of Baili Taoyuan, let's go to Xingzhai!"
"Holo...... I wonder if there will be any danger on the way......, sir."
"Don't worry, the enemy is not an immortal, how can he calculate our route and set up an ambush...... This person is just one of the spilled out, and he happened to meet you recklessly, and he gave his life in vain!"
Lao Qu got into the carriage, raised his whip and continued to hurry: "Master...... Am I wrong again?"
"You're right...... Blame him for his own bad life!"
Lao Qu smiled and drove the carriage to find the way.
The knight who reported the letter was fake, but the content of the letter was true. Otherwise, how could the man in the carriage let his guard down?
