Chapter 429: Zhang's Death
Dai Wang's legs were on the branches of the trees, as smooth as he was on a horse, and he drew arrows from his quiver on his back and shot them quickly, knocking the three or four house slaves who were besieging the woman to the ground.
Zhang Yu was so frightened that she retreated into the room, but the shrewdly hid behind the pillars of the porch and shouted, "Go and call someone, shoot this thief!" ”
The Tang people are good at martial arts and better hunting, which rural landlord does not have a few good hunters at home. Soon six or seven men rushed to the courtyard with quivers on their backs and longbows in their hands, and drew their bowstrings to look back and forth at the trees not far away.
"Lady, where is the thief?"
The lady leaned out from behind the pillar, looked at the bare trunk of the locust tree outside the wall, and said: "He was on the locust tree just now, and now he doesn't know where to go, you quickly take the fine dog to chase after him, and in addition, send someone to the county government to tell Zhang Chang, just say that someone is going to murder my Zhang family, and tell him to quickly send the county lieutenant to arrest him and arrest him together!" ”
An arrow shot from the top of a taller pine tree, piercing a house slave's throat and clutching his neck.
The lady shouted like an old eagle: "The thief is in the pine tree, shoot him down for me!" ”
The men drew their bowstrings and shot towards the pine tree in the distance, but unfortunately the bow was far from enough, and could only land at the feet of the man on the tree.
Sou!
Another arrow flew quickly, hitting a man in the chest, and its force was as fierce as a sledgehammer, and the shaft of the arrow penetrated three inches deep into the muscle.
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly chose a pillar to dodge. The lady scolded angrily: "A group of wine bags and rice bags! What does my mother usually raise you for? ”
Zhang's back was close to the pillar and defended: "Hey! Big lady, the other party uses a strong bow and heavy arrow, and the bow power is at least two and a half stones, which can be compared with the strength of our nine-bucket bows. ”
"Don't you have a big bow at home! Why don't you take it? ”
"No, even if there is, no one can use the three-stone bow."
They hid behind the pillars, not daring to move at all, for fear of outcropping and becoming dead souls under the arrows of distant archers.
I don't know how long it took, a person poked his head out, and his eyes narrowed to see that the pine tree in the distance was empty, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you already gone?" Let's see if there's anything on the other trees! ”
The north wind swayed the branches gently, and several men emerged from behind the pillars, aiming at the trees near the courtyard, and the Assassin seemed to have fled.
They can breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a moment of peace, and this kind of thing should be left to the government to arrest people. The lady of the Zhang family was dizzy and vowed to cut down all the trees near the house in the future.
Suddenly, a figure sat on the wall, raised his hand and drew an arrow to fill the bowstring, and with a whoosh shot another person down! Several people raised their bows in a panic and shot at the wall, but the other party had already jumped off the wall and rolled and squatted, and once again pulled the bowstring and shot out, and another person fell, pulled the bow again and shot again, as fast as a chain of arrows.
The spear stick taught him to hide behind the pillar again, his heart pounding, if he could shoot with a three-stone bow with such a shooting speed, he would be a god. He didn't know that the opponent shared two bows in front and behind, the longbow was long-range, the angular bow was close-range, and the speed of action was so skilled that he shot the outcropping one to the ground in a few shots.
Dai Wang limped to the courtyard gate, slammed his hands to close the door, pulled off the broken door stall, took off the horizontal knife at his waist and penetrated it.
Thinking that he had found an excellent opportunity to attack, he took a long breath and pulled his longbow, slowly moving out of the pillar to aim at the murderer's back, he had to kill with one hit, otherwise the murderer would not give him a second chance to open the bow.
Dai Wang drew his bow and arrows and turned around, dodging sideways while firing the bow and shooting, two arrows staggered, one nailed to the door panel behind Dai Wang, and the other was hit by the forehead of the gun stick, his bulging eyes widened, the longbow in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person slowly sat on the ground against the pillar.
There were only a few frightened families left in the whole courtyard, leaning behind the pillar and shivering, the lady of the Zhang family wanted to escape back to the room, and as soon as her body moved, she was greeted by a feather arrow, and the arrow was shot on the wooden pillar, and the tail feather buzzed.
"Ahh
The other victim woman in the courtyard leaned lightly in front of the rocks at the base of the wall, her slightly curved eyes staring at the mysterious killer who had come out of nowhere.
In the eyes of the two women, he incarnated into two extremes, one was a ferocious and cruel ghost, and the other was a fairy and bodhisattva sent by God to save the suffering.
He turned around and drew his horizontal knife from the door, left the scabbard inside, held the blade on the ground with one hand, and said loudly to everyone in the courtyard: "Today is my personal enmity with the Zhang family, and the rest of the unrelated people can escape over the wall, if there is a loyal person who wants to protect the master, you can also come and try my knife."
There was silence in the courtyard, and then the house slaves ran out from all corners and ran in the direction of the back wall. One of them rushed out of the room, also wearing the black robe of a house slave, but he didn't have time to tighten his belt, and he rolled and bulged like a trench coat, and he didn't even lift the heel of his six-way boots.
Dai Wang's eyes were coldly fixed at this man, and he pulled the arrows full with his horned bow, aiming them at his fast little short legs.
The lady who was squatting behind the pillar cried out: "Zhang Yu, you conscienceless thing, you actually left the old lady and wanted to run alone!"
The fat man who was running was only a moment's slower, and then he ran faster, and Dai Wang's arrow suddenly shot out, hitting him in the crook of the leg, and he staggered to the ground.
"Pull me!"
The slaves swept past him, and Zhang Yu threw himself out and pulled their thighs or hems, all of them ruthlessly breaking free. The servants climbed over the wall like dogs hurrying up the trees, and as the sound of the footsteps disappeared, there were only four people left in the courtyard.
Zhang Yu knelt on his stomach and walked forward, kowtowing to Dai Wang again and again and begging for mercy: "A good man spare his life!" Heroes spare their lives! I didn't kill your little lady, I just want to take a concubine......" He gritted his teeth fiercely, turned around and pointed to the lady lying under the pillar: "It's all this thief slut!" It was she who instructed her subordinates to kill your little lady in the septic tank! It was also her idea to send someone to imprison the women and children in the village, and I didn't expect them to commit suicide!"
The lady of the Zhang family was full of grief and indignation, got up from behind the pillar, and scolded angrily: "Zhang Yu, you eggless thing, the old lady will kill you first!"
She crawled towards Zhang Yu and bit and pounced, and Landlord Zhang also fought back, raised his legs and kicked several times on the woman's chest, and the two pulled each other's hair on the ground, like two fighting cocks that were pecked at their feathers.
"Enough!" Dai Wang broke off, and the two stopped tearing instantly, and sat together in a daze.
"Where is the septic tank?"
Zhang Yu raised his chubby white face, and pointed to the northwest corner with trembling fingers: "It's in the vegetable garden over there."
"Take me there!"
The two of them were shivering and couldn't move.
"Hurry up!"
Dai Wang raised his horizontal knife and slashed at them, and the husband and wife hurriedly got up and led him out of the courtyard. The two of them were hunched over, their hair was scattered like two frightened sheep, and Dai Rokuro was like the sheep herder, but when he deviated, he took up his knife and stabbed them in the body.
In the huge courtyard of Zhang's mansion, there was no one left of the slave in an instant, only Zhang Yu and his wife followed the path left and right, and finally came to the vegetable garden of the empty compound.
The septic tank is in the northwest corner of the vegetable garden, close to the two courtyard walls, and there is a thin layer of ice on the surface of the pool, and there is a swamp gas bubbling under the ice from time to time, and the smell is emitted.
"Jump."
Dai Wang's tone was so cold that there was no trace of emotion, which made the couple's shoulders tremble.
"The hero spares his life, we will never dare to do it again in the future!"
"Jump!"
He slapped them down the cesspool with a swing of his knife, and the couple struggled after falling into the water, splashing the dung in all directions, and their faces and mouths were stained with gold juice.
Dai Wang quickly took a few steps back, pulled out the arrow and filled the horn bow, the husband and wife pounced and struggled to the pond bank, he released the arrow to shoot them down, in the blink of an eye this absurd survival game became a husband and wife pulling each other, Zhang Niangzi did not have the strength of her husband after all, he grabbed the hair and pressed it into the pool, and then there was a more violent struggle. The thickness of the bottom of the pool was stirred to the surface of the water, and Zhang Yu let out a painful scream, it should be the lady who had not yet been poured to death biting a certain part of him underwater.
……
Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are two floating corpses floating on the water surface of the septic tank in the vegetable garden, and the murderer is nowhere to be found.
