Chapter 92 Assassination by the Yalin Bridge
At this time, Xiao Shi, the king of Yue, had already ordered his general Du Wenyu to lead 5,000 elite soldiers from Panyu to march into Luling County.
In the end, he still did not choose the safest way, and attacked Minzhou with Zhou Xun, divided eastern Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou, and then slowly went north.
After all, the temptation to have the opportunity to kill Wei Ran is too great for Xiao Zhi, and Wei Ran's disdain is a well-known thing in the world, and as soon as Wei Ran dies, Xiao Zhi will respond to every call, and overthrowing Xiao Ju is just around the corner.
In eastern Zhejiang, after Zhou Xun entered Linhai County, he also took Yongjia County bloodlessly, and then conquered Jin'an County to the south, and the troops pointed directly at Minzhou.
When Zang Hong, the assassin of Minzhou, learned the news, he gathered troops and horses in Fuzhou to resist Zhou Xun, and sent people to Jiankang along the coastal road to ask for help.
Zhou Xun sat in Jin'an City at this time, kept rubbing his palms, and said excitedly: "Zang Hong has no resistance, now that our army has entered Minzhou, Zang Hong has just sent a large army to come, so that the west is empty, inform Xiao Shi to send an army to attack Quanzhou, we will meet in Fujian, and the big thing can be decided." ”
Zhou Xun's staff, who is also his teacher, Zhou Ke suddenly reminded at this time: "Xiao Xun is a stubborn person, although he has made an alliance in advance, but there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. ”
Zhou Xun's heart moved when he heard this, but after a while, he shook his head and said: "If the surname is Xiao today, we can only become famous if we support Xiao Zhi." ”
Zhou Ke also sighed when he heard this, but there was no good countermeasure after all. If Zhou Xun does it alone, he is afraid that he will not be able to go out of eastern Zhejiang, and he will repeat the mistakes of his father Zhou Cheng and be destroyed in the sea.
Wei Ran is now as usual, Tong Yuanshu is in Changsha City, the two of them carry several generals, and when they arrived at the Yalin Bridge, suddenly several people came out from under the bridge and went straight to Wei Ran.
Wei Ran's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his sword to resist, these dead soldiers were all extremely brave, and they were not afraid of death, and Wei Ran was gradually at a disadvantage.
There are many pedestrians on the Yalin Bridge, and although the family will carry the earth-shaking wrath with them, they can't show it for a while.
Wei Ran was unable to fight with all his strength because he still had to protect Yuan Shu, and the two assassins led at this time had acceptable martial arts, and the two attacked Wei Ran back and forth, Wei Ran was one against two, and he suddenly felt suppressed and doubled.
One of them suddenly raised his sword and stabbed Wei Ran in front of the door, Wei Ran was able to dodge, and the other person had already calculated Wei Ran's retreat route, and directly sealed Wei Ran's way with his sword, Wei Ran couldn't dodge for a while, and his left arm was injured by the sword.
At the same time, several assassins suddenly appeared on the nearby houses, holding bows and arrows and shooting at Wei Ran and the others.
Yuan Shu has no martial arts, and his face is even more dead at this moment, and he is afraid that Wei Ran will be affected, after he can dodge the first wave of arrows.
Yuan Shu looked at the river below and chose to jump directly, in order not to distract Wei Ran, he didn't even make a sound.
Wei Ran turned around and just saw Yuan Shu throwing himself into the river, Wei Ran was suddenly shocked, reached out to pull but only tore off a skirt, Wei Ran was very anxious at the moment, Yuan Shu was not watery, although the river flow was not turbulent, but if he did not rescue in time, Yuan Shu would die.
hateful these assassins blocked Wei Ran's way, Wei Ran was already furious at this time, so that the rest of the generals took out the earth-shattering fury, only to see the generals form a formation, unload the shield on their backs, and cover their companions, and the later generals took out the earth-shattering anger from behind the shield, quickly set up the arrows, and immediately fired several arrows, and the assassins on the roof of the building couldn't dodge and fell down from the house.
One of the families will take this opportunity to jump into the river, intending to save Won-sook.
But after jumping into the river, he found that Wonshu had already been washed downstream, so he hurriedly swam downstream.
Wei Ran was holding the Taiping Sword at this time, and his moves were fierce, and he used his body to eat the assassin's sword, and then beheaded the first swordsman with a sword.
It turned out that Wei Ran had the jade clothes given by Xiao Ju in it, although the assassin's sword pierced Wei Ran through the jade clothes, but it was not pierced too much.
Then a swordsman saw that his companion was dead, and the sorrow came from it, and attacked Wei Ran with the potential of burning jade, Wei Ran saw the move, the sword move opened and closed, and the other swordsman who hit had no power to fight back, so he could only keep defending, and suddenly Wei Ran found the right opportunity, and everything went straight to the door, knocking down the assassin's turban, which turned out to be a woman, and at the same time the sword left an arrow target on the woman's face.
At the same time, Wei Ran's family general Heaven-shattering crossbow had been exhausted, and the archers on the roof suddenly poked their heads out again, ignoring Wei Ran's generals, and aimed at Wei Ran with another volley, Wei Ran saw this, grabbed a corpse from the ground, and blocked it in front of him, but there were still arrows shooting at Wei Ran, and Wei Ran was hit by arrows in his thighs and arms.
Seeing this, the female assassin did not hesitate to kill Wei Ran, Wei Ran had already retreated to the bridge at this time, and saw the female assassin stabbing with a sword, Wei Ran grabbed the sword with his hand, and immediately blood flowed in his left hand, and at this time, another round of arrow rain came, and Wei Ran pulled the woman's sword forward.
At this time, the female assassin was already able to see Wei Ran's clear but angry eyes, and then Wei Ran used the woman's body to block the rain of arrows, and the family general had already raised a shield array at this time, protecting Wei Ran in the center.
There are still more than a dozen killers on the bridge, but seeing that the leader is dead, they are at a loss.
Xiao Yi had already brought people to come at this time, and the killers wanted to retreat when they saw this, Wei Ran withdrew the shield array at this time, and the Lingjia general grabbed the mouth alive, but at this juncture, a wolf's tooth arrow came straight towards Wei Ran, hitting Wei Ran's chest, and the huge impact made Wei Ran be shot directly from the bridge into the river.
The wolf's tooth arrow is a special bow and arrow made in the army in order to shoot local generals, it is powerful and heavy, even if it is heavily armoured, it will be seriously injured, Wei Ran did not focus on the armor, although he consciously wanted to reduce the impact when he was hit by the arrow, but the distance was close and the speed was fast, Wei Ran was not in a hurry.
Xiao Yi's personal guards had already controlled the Assassins, and they had also captured a few archers in the nearby buildings who had time to evacuate.
Wei Ran's generals also found Yuan Shu, who had fallen into a coma, but fortunately, although Yuan Shu was not water-free, the current was not urgent, and the generals didn't swim far to save him, but the generals were wearing armor and lifted Yuan Shu up with great difficulty, but they were already out of strength, and they were obviously unable to send Yuan Shu to the shore.
At the critical moment, someone in the crowd by the river jumped into the river, took Yuan Shu, and then pulled the family general and wanted to swim to the shore together, but the family general broke free of his hand and said: "This is the Duchess of Qin, I am exhausted and can't move, just save my wife." ”
Then the family will slowly sink to the bottom of the river, and this family will be the old man Wei Ran brought from the Northern Dynasty to the Southern Dynasty.
There were eight of them, but now there are only five left.
Xiao Yi was on the shore at this time to let people go to the river to salvage Wei Ran, and after a while, the soldiers fished Wei Ran ashore, at this time Wei Ran was injured in more than ten places, and the wolf tooth arrow directly made Wei Ran faint.
Fortunately, with the jade clothes given by Xiao Ju, the wolf's tooth arrow did not penetrate Wei Ran.
But after untying Wei Ran's clothes, he found that the jade clothes had been shot through, and the wolf tooth arrow had been shot into Wei Ran's body by three centimeters.
Cui He said at this time: "You must immediately pull out the wolf tooth arrow and stop the bleeding for Qin Gong, otherwise Qin Gong will definitely die." ”
"You need a military doctor to come, the wolf's tooth arrow is not like an ordinary arrow, this arrow has been thrown into the bone, and it is also difficult to pull it out rashly." Xiao Yi hurriedly persuaded.
Cui He didn't care at this time, then carefully observed the wolf tooth arrow, grabbed the arrow feather, and then ordered Xiao Yi to hold down Wei Ran and forcibly pull out the wolf tooth arrow.
Wei Ran, who was in a coma, suddenly looked extremely painful, but he still didn't wake up. Cui He looked at the wolf tooth arrow carefully, and then said, "Fortunately, this arrow is not poisonous. ”
At this time, Xiao Yi had already personally started to stop the bleeding for Wei Ran, and now in this situation, he couldn't trust anyone.
Then Xiao Yi carried Wei Ran back to the mansion, and the rest of Wei Ran's generals found Yuan Shu who was rescued to the shore not far away.
Cui He and Xiao Yi had also arrived at this time, but when they saw Wei Ran's remaining generals, they were stunned and looked at Yuan Shu who was fainting on the shore, so the two hurriedly stepped forward to check, Cui He said: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly find clothes to cover your wife and carry them back to the house." ”
But several generals were still standing in place, Cui Huan and Xiao Yi only followed their eyes at this time, and the two naturally saw the tattoo on Yuan Shu's arm, Xiao Yi was also shocked, Cui He was silent, and then said: "Carry Mrs. back to the mansion first." ”
Only then did everyone react, and then Cui He said to Xiao Yi: "What did King Xiang see? ”
Xiao Yi reacted at this time and said, "This king didn't see anything. I only saw the unconscious Duchess Qin. ”
Cui He nodded, and then said, "The tiger roars, exclusive to the Yuan clan." The direct members of the Yuan clan will have a fierce tiger head tattooed on their right arm. The Yuan clan stabbed a tiger cub on the right arm. ”
Xiao Yi didn't speak, he didn't know what to say at the moment. I don't know why Cui Huan is talking to him about this, as a Southern Qi clan, of course he knows the characteristics of the Northern Qin clan.
He never thought that Li Wanqing, the second wife of the Duke of Qin, was actually the royal family of Northern Qin, and she was also a direct member of the family. is so young, only the daughter of Yuanjian.
This is also the reason why several of Wei Ran's families will be dumbfounded, because they are all old people in the Wei Mansion, and naturally they also know the traditions of the Northern Qin royal family, and they stood on the spot for a while.
Cui He then called the person who rescued Yuan Shu, who was a middle-aged man, a fisherman, quite water-savvy, and happened to pass by, so he rescued him.
Cui He looked at him carefully, then sighed and said, "This strong man can go to the Xiangwang Mansion and receive 10,000 taels of silver." ”
10,000 taels of silver, so that this man was also stunned, you need to know that ordinary people can't earn 30 taels of silver a year.
Looking at the restrained man, Cui Huan said: "What you saved is our Qin Gongzhi's favorite, this affection is not measured by money, you can rest assured that your subordinates, if you want to go to the army, we will definitely open the way for you." ”
After saying this, Cui He hurried to the Xiangwang Mansion.
At this time, Yuan Shu had already woken up, and Liu Yun was serving beside her.
At the beginning, Wei Ran bought a few maidservants for Yuan Shu, and a few of them had a crush, and they were matched by Yuan Shuxu, and Aunt Zhao stayed in the house to take care of Wei Ran's mother, and only took Liu Yun with her when she went out this time.
Yuan Shu was very weak at the moment, but she still hurriedly asked, "What about the master?" ”
In front of the maids and subordinates, Yuan Shu called Wei Ran the master.
"Sir... He. He was seriously injured and had not yet woken up, but his life was safe. Fortunately, Cui Gongzi decisively pulled out the wolf's tooth arrow, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Liu Yun didn't hide it either, and told Yuan Shu truthfully.
Yuan Shu was about to get up to see Wei Ran, but found that she didn't even have the strength to get up.
Liu Yun persuaded: "Madame should take care of her body first, Madame was dressed in a basket when she was in the mansion, and she only had a military uniform on her body." ”
Liu Yun suddenly quipped: "The slave maid has served the lady for many years, and the lady has never let the slave serve the lady to take a bath." Are you afraid that the slave maid will see the tattoo on the lady's arm? The slave didn't expect that the lady looked so gentle, but she liked to stab such a tiger's head. ”
