Chapter 185: The conflict gradually escalates
Some people take themselves too seriously, can't recognize their own status, and think that they are important, but in fact, they are completely overestimating themselves.
For example, this Wang Gui lying on the ground, if there is really a time back in the world, he will definitely turn his head and leave as soon as he sees Yuan Shu and the others, and never say a word of nonsense!
But at this time, he didn't expect it at all, because how much shock his few words would bring to the Han court!
Wang Gui was humiliated twice by Yuan Shu today, and he was already extremely resentful of him in his heart, but his fists were not as hard as those of the other party, so he could only scare and scare them with his official body.
But when he saw that another officer and soldier were coming, he immediately became confident again, and shouted for Yuan Shu to kowtow to him and admit his mistake.
Yuan Shu was born in the Yuan clan in Runan, and he had been humiliated like this. He has been arrogant since he was a child, and whether he is right or wrong, others have always kowtowed to him to admit his mistakes.
I didn't expect to meet a faint official who oppressed the people today, and he dared to speak wildly to him several times. Therefore, his anger value rose to the full, and regardless of Wu Yong's dissuasion, he punched and kicked Wang Gui again.
While fighting, he also said angrily: "Okay, you bullying dog official, if I don't teach you a good lesson today, it will not be enough to vent the hatred in the hearts of the people!" Wang Gui was beaten and screamed again and again, and kept wailing.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud shout: "Stop! It turned out that the group of officers and soldiers had already come to the front, and a tall captain led by him stopped him in a loud voice.
Yuan Shu was also a little tired from fighting, so he stopped, glanced at the Wu Chang, and said contemptuously: "Who are you?" Dare to stop a certain dog official who punishes and oppresses the people, is it with this dog official? Seeing that Yuan Shu had a noble temperament and a brocade coat, and heard his tone quite conceited, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, so he arched his hand and said: "I don't know which nobleman's mansion in Luoyang City is this Langjun?" A certain is a Lang official who is under the door of Lord Dong Pet, and he also asks this Lang Jun to look at the face of Lord Dong and let Lord Wang Gui go. Yuan Shu felt a little weak when he heard Dong Pet's name, and then said proudly: "Just with your group of dumb officials who are powerful dogs, are you worthy of knowing the name of so-and-so!" Today, for the sake of Lord Dong's face, I won't worry about you. Then, he kicked Wang Gui on the ground again, and said in disgust: "Get out! In the future, let me find out that you are bullying, see you once, and fight once. Wang Gui glanced at Yuan Shu angrily, knowing that if he continued to make trouble, he would only bring humiliation on himself, so he got up from the ground without saying a word, and then was supported by the chief of Wu and left in a gloomy manner.
After the officers and soldiers left, Yuan Shu and others were sought after by the surrounding people, and they praised their benevolence and righteousness.
"A few Lang Jun are not afraid of power, and they are really benevolent and righteous kings!"
"Yes, if it weren't for a few nobles, we would be angry with those dog officials again today."
"Those who are officials, compared with several nobles, don't even have the qualifications to carry shoes, I really don't know how the imperial court appointed them!" …… When Yuan Shu and the others heard these words, they were extremely useful, but they didn't notice that Wu Yong looked at the back of Wang Gui and the others leaving, frowning.
As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark, this Wang Gui yelled when he was beaten at first, and when the officers and soldiers came, he swallowed his anger and stopped yelling, which really doesn't make people think badly.
Especially before Wang Gui left, the resentful eyes made Wu Yong think of it, and his heart trembled, and suddenly a trace of gloom condensed in his heart.
Therefore, Wu Yong was worried that if he continued to stay, there would be another wave, so he beckoned Yuan Shu and the others to leave. Yuan Shu and others were on the rise, and Wu Yong persuaded her for a long time before they reluctantly said goodbye to the people in the imperial village.
However, everyone was a little dissatisfied with Wu Yong, thinking that he was making a big fuss, and Yuan Shu even sneered: "I didn't expect you, the son of heaven, to be so brave, and a small city guard scared you out!" I really misread you. The others also chimed in: "Yes, Wu Yong, we finally came to the interest today, and we were stirred up by you again, which is really disappointing!" Wu Yong had to smile and say: "This time it's a kid, isn't it, I'll apologize to your brothers here, and when I return to Luoyang City, I'll have a banquet for you in Taixu Restaurant, okay?" When Yuan Shu heard this, his face improved, and he laughed and said, "This is what you said, I have to eat and drink to my heart's content today!" ”
"Okay, we must let Wu Yong bleed heavily today, so as to relieve my depressed mood!" The others chimed in.
Wu Yong pretended to sigh and said: "I was careless in making friends!" Heartache is so bad that I can't breathe. When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
At this moment, no one expected that there was a group of cavalry in front of them blocking their way, and the person at the head was none other than Wang Gui, who had gone and returned.
Immediately, the people reined in the horse's rope and stopped. As soon as Yuan Shu saw Wang Gui, his face became embarrassed, he didn't expect Wang Gui to dare to come to find a confidant, and immediately reprimanded loudly: "Do you know who I am?" Acquaintances quickly get out of the way, if not, don't blame me for being rude! Wang Gui smiled cruelly: "We are all lowly people, and we don't deserve to know the name of your nobleman." Today I will let you know that when the husband is angry, the nobleman can be killed! With that, he waved his hand, and saw the knights around him with bows and arrows.
Wu Yong hurriedly shouted: "I am the Son of Heaven serving Wu Yong, and these people around me are all children of the Jiuqing family of the imperial court!" If they have an accident, I am afraid that the court will definitely investigate it strictly, and you will not be able to escape punishment at that time! When Wang Gui heard this, he laughed even more wildly.
"Very good! I'm still worried that your reputation is not big enough, but I didn't expect your identity to be so noble, so it's the best, after killing you, and then blaming the people of Huangzhuang, and then slaughtering them, this great credit is ours, you just die obediently, maybe I can make you die a happy death! With that, a group of soldiers quickly outflanked them from the other three sides.
Yuan Shu and the others had never seen such a frenzied person, and after hearing his words, they were shocked.
Before everyone could react, Wang Gui was heard shouting: "Shoot them!" ”
"Lord, be careful!" Fortunately, when Yuan Shu and the others traveled, they were always followed by two guards. These men were all battle-hardened soldiers before, and when the knights on the opposite side mounted their bows and arrows, they had already protected their lords.
Don't look at Yuan Shu and the others who are usually prodigal, but they are not powerless sons. At this time, the people all admired rangers, and high-ranking officials and nobles were no exception, and they all had martial arts requirements for their children.
Therefore, Yuan Shu and others can not only ride and shoot, but also have some melee ability. Therefore, with the concerted efforts of everyone, in the first wave of arrows, only two guards were shot in the arms with an arrow each.
Wang Gui saw that after a rain of arrows, there were no casualties on the other side, and he couldn't help but be angry: "Shoot me again!" Today they either die, or we die, if they let one of them slip out, you and my family will die without a place to be buried! "It's just that before the second wave of arrows rained down, many guards rushed backwards with Yuan Shu and others.
The soldiers who came from behind, they didn't expect that Wu Yong's group of people would attack on horseback unscathed, and before they could react, several guards brandished their portable weapons and rushed into the crowd first, slashing and slashing.
These soldiers in Luoyang, it's okay to bully the people on weekdays, but when they encounter these guards who are not afraid of death, they immediately become chaotic, crying and fleeing.
The guards were not in love with war, and after rushing out of the way, they took Wu Yong and others to gallop towards Huangzhuang. Wu Yong even asked Yan Zhan to help him grab a bow and a bag of arrows, he knew the truth that the thief captured the king first, so after taking the bow and arrows, he did not hesitate to launch his skills to shoot at Wang Gui.
"My lord, be careful!" A knight beside Wang Gui was quick-eyed, and suddenly reached out and pulled him.
A flying arrow came, and because it was pulled by the knight, the arrow that was supposed to shoot at his body hit him directly in the arm.
"Ahh Wang Gui, who was hit by the arrow, let out a miserable scream, and then ignored the pain in his arm, and shouted hysterically: "Chase, you must kill them all today!" Wang Gui didn't expect that when the other party shot an arrow, it was simply stealing chickens and rice, which made him very angry.
After hearing this, the knights also understood that the current situation of themselves and others was a bit difficult to ride a tiger, so they could only catch up with them quickly.
But they really underestimated Wu Yong's current archery skills, and saw that every time Wu Yong raised his hand to shoot an arrow, a knight fell from his horse.
And the arrows they shot were not as fast and accurate as Wu Yong's, so they didn't dare to chase too close, so they could only follow them from a distance, waiting for the support of Wang Gui and others.
Wang Gui was originally confident about annihilating Wu Yong and his party, but after walking a distance with his footmen, he found that from time to time there were knights who fell off their horses.
This frightened Wang Gui, so he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to ride to Luoyang City to transfer more soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress Wu Yong and his party.
At the same time, when he saw that many of the soldiers around him were about to escape, he covered his bleeding arms and laughed loudly, very fiercely and very wildly.
"Haha, don't even think about running away! You also heard it just now, these people are the children of Jiuqing, you use your brains to think about it, if you let them escape, will you kill your whole family......" Several of the soldiers were a little broken, and they rushed to Wang Gui and scolded: "It's all you, the dog official, who instigated us, and we have to wait for the embarrassing end now." Wang Gui glared at them and said sharply, "Did I force you to come?" It's not that you are eager to make meritorious contributions and rush to come! Now we are grasshoppers with a rope, and those who don't want to die will rush into the Huangzhuang with me for a while. When many soldiers heard this, they were silent, and now there is only one way to go in front of them, that is, to kill Wu Yong and his party, otherwise the only thing waiting for them is to raid their homes and exterminate the clan!
Wang Gui saw that they were honest, and he was also relieved, don't look at him just now, in fact, he was afraid to death.
He was well aware of his current situation, and if this matter failed, these soldiers could shirk their responsibilities and reduce the punishment.
And he, as the initiator of all this, is dead without a place to bury if he does not succeed today. Therefore, he did not give the soldier any chance to react, and shouted: "Chase! If we don't kill these people today, we will die without a place to bury! ”
