Chapter 173: The Dead Man in Black
"Big brother, are you awake?" Ning Ze slept comfortably, and when he got up, Liang Wu immediately stepped forward.
"How long have I been sleeping?" Ning Ze asked.
"Big brother slept all morning, and now it's the end of the day. Liang Wu replied.
It's not around the clock, that is, between the afternoon.
This is similar to the time when I came back from an Internet café all night and slept at home.
"Xichun, big brother is awake!" Liang Wu turned around and shouted outside.
Xichun immediately pushed the door in, carrying a basin of water to freshen up Ning Ze.
Ning Ze is also used to being served now, and lets Xichun wash his face and change his clothes.
"Big brother, in the morning, the lord took everyone to hunt locusts, and the harvest was very rich. Liang Wu said, "It's a pity that the grain in the field has been eaten up by locusts, and the people hope that the locust plague will be eliminated as soon as possible, so that they can rush to plant a wave before the autumn harvest." ”
As long as the whole territory of Golden State fully implements the locust eradication policy, there should be no problem. Ning Ze said, "Things are already in place here, staying too long will affect official business, and I can't slow down the progress because of me." Inform everyone to get ready and hurry up and return home. ”
Liang Wuxin said that he was worried about slowing down the progress, and he should have come back last night.
Anyway, how did the eldest brother and Princess Yuanxi spend the night in the wilderness? What happened to the lonely man and widow?
There are many doubts in my heart, but I know that this matter cannot be known by anyone other than myself and my eldest brother.
After going out for a while, I quickly returned to the house.
"Did you give the order?" Ning Ze sat at the table, eating the meal brought by Xichun.
"Big brother, it's already ready. Liang Wu replied, "When the lord comes back, he will order his subordinates to wait for you to wake up." ”
"That's good! Let's go after eating here. ”
"Shall I go over and say something?"
"Hmm!"
Ning Ze finished lunch and came out to meet everyone.
"Military advisor!" Liu Yuanxiang changed his clothes and led his subordinates to meet him.
"Lord!" Ning Ze bowed.
"Is the military advisor well-rested?" asked Liu Yuanxiang.
"I've woken up and I'm full of energy. ”
Now that the military advisor has woken up, let's hurry up and return to Yuanxi County. Liu Yuanxiang said, "The first time this palace came to the fiefdom, I need to ask the local officials to prepare a mansion and come back occasionally in the future." ”
"Then let's go!" Ning Ze turned to the side, "Little Wu, lead me to the horse." ”
"Okay!" Liang Wu immediately ran in the direction of the stable.
Everyone got on the horse, and the villagers saw them off.
The team left the area and turned back along the road.
As everyone knows, in a mountain forest on the right side of the road, there are more than a dozen black-clothed people with guns and bows lurking.
Seeing Liu Yuanxiang and Ning Ze riding side by side in front of the team, talking and moving leisurely, a man in black put an arrow on his bow under the cover of a bush.
One of the people next to him reached out to stop him and shook his head at him.
"Big brother, you can shoot at this distance, believe me!"
"Don't worry! I believe in your bows, but now is not the best chance. The man next to him said, "Our goal is to kill Princess Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang and her military advisor Ning Ze. You can only shoot one person, which is tantamount to scaring a snake. Once the other party is on guard, it will be difficult for our brothers to kill the remaining one person in front of so many people. Don't be impatient, follow along for a while to find opportunities. They were going back to Yuanxi County, and they couldn't get there before dark at this hour, and they would definitely set up camp somewhere ahead. Wait until Ning Ze and Liu Yuanxiang are left alone, or after they all rest at night, then launch a surprise attack!"
"It's still the eldest brother who thinks thoughtfully. ”
So this group of black-clothed people hid in the mountains and forests, kept a distance from Liu Yuanxiang's team, and moved forward as carefully as possible.
The team walked dozens of miles along the road, and when the sun set, they found a location near the river and set up camp.
Song Gao directs the soldiers to set up a makeshift camp, with Fluttershy, Liang Wu, Xichun, and others assisting.
This kind of trivial matter, as a princess, Liu Yuanxiang and military advisor Ning Ze do not need to participate.
Liu Yuanxiang wanted to walk around casually, so Ning Ze accompanied her, and the two instructed their subordinates to hurry up and set up a camp and ride horses along the riverbank.
The man in black kept a distance and quietly followed.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Big brother, look!"
"What a godsend!" The leader's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered, "Immediately follow me to lurk over and kill Liu Yuanxiang and Ning Ze!"
"Wow!!"
The man in black moved quickly, taking advantage of the grass and trees, quickly approached the riverbank, and ran towards the two people who were walking.
Liu Yuanxiang and Ning Ze didn't know that the two rode horses to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
When she was alone, Liu Yuanxiang remembered what happened last night and was a little absent-minded.
When he left the camp some distance away and couldn't see that side, the man in black had already come to the vicinity, hiding in the shadows and quickly drawing his bow and arrows.
"Whoosh!" An arrow shot out and went straight to Liu Yuanxiang's front door.
Ning Ze heard the sound of the wind in his ears and immediately realized it. Finding that someone was shooting a hidden arrow, he hurriedly stopped in front of Liu Yuanxiang and took out the Heavenly Star Hammer.
The arrow came head-on and was blocked by Ning Ze raising a hammer.
The man in black was frightened by Ning Ze's behavior of summoning a giant hammer with his bare hands and blocking the arrows with the hammer, and it was a little difficult to understand how this hammer appeared out of thin air, and how did Ning Ze, a weak scholar, pick up such a heavy hammer?
Although he was full of doubts, he quickly rushed out and quickly surrounded the two of them.
"Lord be careful!" Ning Ze didn't expect to encounter assassins in this poor countryside, so he hurriedly protected Liu Yuanxiang.
Liu Yuanxiang was frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Someone!!"
"We are Liu Bao's subordinates, and we are here to take revenge!" the leader raised the spear in his hand, "Liu Yuanxiang and Ning Ze, this is where the two of you are buried!"
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen black-clothed people surrounded Liu Yuanxiang and Ning Ze, and stabbed them at the same time.
At the same time, there are two people pulling bows and arrows in the back.
"Someone!!" Although Liu Yuanxiang is carrying a sword, his force value is very low, and he can basically ignore it. In this case, the only way to do this was to shout loudly and let the guards rush over.
The shouts quickly passed, and Song Gao and others did hear it, and immediately rushed over with their troops.
It's just a little bit of a distance, and there's no way to get there in an instant.
The man in black wanted to kill the two before the guards arrived, so he riveted with all his might.
Ning Ze faced the siege and swept past with the Celestial Star Hammer, forcing back the approaching enemy, while keeping an eye on Liu Yuanxiang to make sure she would not be harmed.
"Whoosh!" Seeing Ning Ze wielding a sledgehammer, the gunners in the front row couldn't get close, and the rear quickly shot arrows.
The first arrow came, and Ning Ze blocked it with the Celestial Star Hammer. Immediately after that, the second arrow appeared from other directions, but it was aimed at Liu Yuanxiang.
Fortunately, Liu Yuanxiang's war horse under his crotch followed Ning Ze and avoided this arrow in a thrilling way.
It's just that the arrow didn't hit Liu Yuanxiang, but landed on the horse's buttocks. The war horse was frightened and broke through the encirclement uncontrollably and galloped wildly.
Seeing this, Ning Ze exerted all his strength, and the Celestial Star Hammer flew up and down, killing several black-clothed people in an instant, and the vertical horse broke through the encirclement and chased after Liu Yuanxiang's war horse.
The man in black was in hot pursuit.
"The military advisor save me!" Liu Yuanxiang hugged the horse's neck tightly, looking frightened.
Claw Huang Feidian ran with all his strength and quickly caught up.
Ning Ze held a hammer in his left hand, reached over with his right hand and hugged Liu Yuanxiang, and shouted: "Let go!"
Liu Yuanxiang obediently let go of the horse's neck, and Ning Ze immediately picked her up and rode a war horse with him.
Taking care of Liu Yuanxiang, the arrow shot from behind, hitting Ning Ze's back.
Because he was carrying a hammer in his left hand and holding someone in his right hand, Ning Ze couldn't maintain his balance and fell down with Liu Yuanxiang.
At the last moment, Ning Ze decisively threw away the Tianxing Hammer, hugged Liu Yuanxiang tightly with both hands, and protected her in his arms. The moment she fell, she turned on, using her body as a mat, and fell heavily to the ground.
Liu Yuanxiang was shocked, looked up and saw the man in black rushing over, and shouted in fright: "Strategist, they are coming!"
Ning Ze let go and let her get up, and quickly jumped up. I saw that Song Gao was leading his troops to rush to this side in the distance, but he might not have time.
So a flying pounce picked up the Celestial Star Hammer that had fallen to the ground, put his finger in his mouth and whistled, and the claw yellow Feidian immediately turned around and came back. He shouted to Liu Yuanxiang: "Lord, please join Song Gao on my war horse!"
"What about you, Strategist?" Liu Yuanxiang said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, the lower officials know how to spell!" Ning Ze shouted loudly, "Hurry up!"
Liu Yuanxiang knew that staying would become a burden to Ning Ze, so he said to him: "Military advisors must be careful!"
Turn around and ride the claw yellow flying lightning, and quickly flee from the side.
A man in black pulled a bow and an arrow to shoot Liu Yuanxiang, Ning Ze quickly took out a bamboo crossbow, and an arrow shot out with a "whoosh".
The bolt strikes the man in black in his right hand, causing his bow to land.
The other black-clothed men around him approached Ning Ze and raised their guns to stab.
Ning Ze threw away the bamboo crossbow, picked up the Celestial Star Hammer and faced it head-on, and shouted angrily: "Look for death!!"
108 points of force value is not a joke, more than a dozen men in black besieged Ning Ze, but they didn't have a problem with him, but they were constantly killed by Ning Ze one by one, and half of them died in an instant.
These black-clothed people are also ruthless enough, they are not afraid of death at all, and they will die with Ning Ze with their lives.
One of them flew over and hugged Ning Ze's right hand. The other person quickly hugged Ning Ze's left hand from the side and suppressed it with his whole body weight, so that Ning Ze could not wield the Celestial Star Hammer.
Two more people took the opportunity to rush over from front to back, hugging Ning Ze's thighs respectively and locking him up.
Ning Ze's hands and feet were locked, and the Heavenly Star Hammer in his hand was in the way. Seeing that the leader of the other party took advantage of his inability to move and stabbed with his spear, he decisively threw away the Celestial Star Hammer, and suddenly burst out with all his strength, and waved his right hand forward violently.
The man in black who hugged his right arm was directly swept up, and his mind was blank.
Ning Ze easily lifted his two-hundred-pound body with one hand, is he really a powerless civil official in his impression?
Even the partner with the greatest strength on his side can't lift a person weighing more than 200 pounds with one hand.
Before he could figure it out, Ning Ze had already used him to block the front.
With a "poof", the leader of the men in black shot through his companion's body.
I didn't expect this to happen, and the leader of the men in black was stunned for a few seconds.
Ning Ze took this opportunity to swing out his left hand vigorously, picked up another man in black who had locked his arm, and smashed it towards the leader of the man in black.
Feelings, he used the two men in black as weapons.
"Tom!" the two men in black bumped their heads together, buzzing instantly, and they really couldn't understand the situation. He's not a civil official? That's too much power, isn't it? Is he human?
The leader of the man in black and the man in black who locked Ning Ze's left hand fell to the ground in a daze, Ning Ze's hands were freed, and he lowered his head and grabbed the two who were holding his thighs, ready to draw a knife and stab the head of the man in black, and hit them hard.
"Tom!" the two men in black had Venus in their eyes, and the whole person was dizzy
