Volume 3 Vertical and Horizontal Donglu Chapter 221 Ambush
Yu Wanfu returned to the gang, closed his door, and worked hard for a long time to write down the situation of the gangs everywhere. One by one, arrange to help the people go out of the city to deliver letters, and do that is called a positive.
Yi Xiaodao stood on the wall of Jicheng, watching one after another Huquan Gang disciples rush out of the city gate and disappear into the distance, and asked, "Do you know my thoughts?" ”
Only Wang Xuan stood beside him, and Wang Xuan nodded in response: "Send the Huquan Gang to spread the news, and use the prestige of the Huquan Gang to raise the momentum of our army." When the gangs from all over the country come to surrender and everyone is united, Dongfang Zhong will not be able to set off any storms. ”
"How is it better than yours?" Yi Xiaodao asked.
"The grass people are ashamed." Wang Xuan replied lightly. Although he said that he was ashamed, Yi Xiaodao looked at him with a smile, as if he was not ashamed, but quite proud.
Yi Xiaodao looked at Wang Xuan and said, "Just relying on one Huquan Gang is not enough to attract the hearts of the entire Donglu people. ”
"What do you mean?" Wang Xuan was a little puzzled.
"I want you to go to Qucheng for me, and talk about Kongmen. Kong Men wanted to marry the Huquan Gang and befriend Dongfang Zhong. Now that Dongfang Zhong has fled, and the Huquan Gang has taken refuge in us, where to go, Kong Men should already know in his heart. ”
"I wanted Qin Xiang to move away, he has martial arts, and I feel more at ease outside. But he had some trouble with Kongmen, so he had to trouble you to go. Jeseong still needs to be defended, I can only give you a hundred martial arts camps at most, you... What do you think? Yi Xiaodao asked.
Wang Xuan said with a smile: "That's enough, what a big deal I should think, the grass people will not fail in their mission!" ”
Yi Xiaodao was a little worried: "I'm not worried about anything else, I believe that with your eloquence in Qucheng, you will definitely be able to convince Kongmen." It's just that from Jecheng to Qucheng, there are not a few Xiangma bandits along the way, you..."
"Please also ask the adults to be relieved, the grass people will return in a few days, I just hope that the adults are all Dongfang Ming for the time being, and the heads of the two Dongfang Ding will be used, as a token, and they will be remembered in reverie." Wang Xuan bowed his hand and asked.
"Dongfang Ding is easy to do, there is already a dead person, and it doesn't hurt to be the head. It's just that Dongfang Ming can't be moved lightly, and he needs to be escorted back to Beijing, and he needs to ask His Majesty to send it. Yi Xiaodao replied.
Wang Xuan frowned slightly, and then said: "Dongfang Ding can also be, as long as the adult orders, the grass people will set off immediately!" ”
As the sun set, a thin man dressed as a scholar came out of the south gate of Jeseong, holding a wooden box containing Dongfang Ming's head.
Wang Xuan bowed to Yi Xiaodao on the city wall, got into the carriage, and the carriage went along the official road towards Qucheng. He didn't ask for a hundred martial arts camps, but one person and one car, walking slowly.
Sending Wang Xuan away, Yi Xiaodao felt a lot of loss inexplicably. How difficult it is for this weak scholar to walk in troubled times, Yi Xiaodao's mind came to mind Outside the city of Japan, Wang Xuan braved the wind and snow to stand for half a night...
"Big butterfly..."Dongfang Shi seemed to feel Yi Xiaodao's depressed mood, and the little chubby face also drooped down.
……
A troop walked dejectedly on the official road, led by Dongfang Zhong, who was also lying in a carriage recuperating from his wounds. It has been a day since Jecheng was ambushed, but the anger in Dongfang Zhong's heart has not disappeared at all.
"My lord, where are you going? Why don't you retreat to Zicheng? A Jeseong army general came to the carriage and asked.
"The City of the Past... Bring in the Dongwai people first. Dongfang Zhong leaned in the carriage and said with his eyes closed.
The general of the Jicheng army turned around and went to give the order, and the nearly 10,000 Jicheng troops of Dongfang Zhong took the road to Richeng. On the way of the Jicheng army, from time to time some people left the team on horseback, and sent orders to the cities, Bincheng, Yingcheng, Yancheng, and there were military horses out of the city one after another, going to the direction of Richeng, and meeting with Dongfang Zhong.
On the side of Richeng, Li Dingxing and Xiang Lian'er led the Nanhuai Army and the Waving Camp have had several frictions. With Xiang Lian'er and Li Dingxing in charge, the Dongwei people failed to take advantage of several sneak attacks, and left in disgrace.
Yi Xiaodao has nothing to do in Jicheng, and he patrols the city every day, and the four gates of the southeast, northwest, and northwest have already been patrolled, and the most inspected is the south gate where Wang Xuan left.
A carriage trembled past Mount Tai, Wang Xuan sat in the carriage, his fingers kept tapping the wooden box, looking at the towering Mount Tai: "Towering Mount Tai, the first emperor sealed Zen... I don't know what I encountered, it was..."
"Hoohoo~" A big tree in front of him suddenly fell, the groom hurriedly tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped.
"Whoosh!" A hidden arrow was fired, and the groom had no time to dodge, so he was shot off his horse by this dark arrow.
Wang Xuan's fingers stopped, lifted the curtain, saw the coachman who fell to the ground, sighed, jumped off the car, and walked to the carriage with his back hand: "Which way is a hero?" I have two taels of silver and thirty taels of silver tickets on my body, and please show up to take it. ”
Thirty or forty big men walked out of the forest, one by one with bows and guns, looking at Wang Xuan with ill intentions.
"Hand over the head of Lord Dongfang Ding." The first of the Han people is wearing a tiger skin and is extremely burly.
"Sect Boss, did I say that you guys are all so literate over there in Richeng? Hahahaha. What's the nonsense about him like this? Just go get it! A bandit next to him laughed at the boss of the sect, strode forward, ignoring Wang Xuan at all, and was about to get into the carriage to get the wooden box.
Wang Xuan's heart was tight, it didn't matter if he asked for money or a car, but if he took Dongfang Ding's head, how could he persuade Kong Men to go to Qucheng again?
Wang Xuan grabbed the bandits and wanted to prevent him from entering the carriage. The bandit flicked his sleeves and shook Wang Xuan off, and without saying a word, the big knife was raised and slashed towards Wang Xuan's head.
A figure sprang out of the woods, knocking Wang Xuan to the ground, narrowly avoiding the knife.
"Can't hide? Don't want to die? The man glared at Wang Xuan and scolded.
"Who? Dare to meddle with grandpa's business? The bandit chased after him with his sword, and before he could take two steps, he was pierced through the chest by a spear, the tip of which came out of his chest.
On the side of the sect boss, everyone grabbed their weapons one after another, and they were about to step forward to avenge their brothers.
The spear was withdrawn, and the bandit fell to the ground and died. Wang Xuan hurriedly got up, got into the carriage, and was relieved to see that the wooden box was undamaged. said to the two: "Thank you two for the rescue, I don't know what the two are asking for?" Wang Xuan understands that there will be no pie in the sky, and this kind of thing, it is enough for him to encounter it once in Richeng.
One of the people who pounced on Wang Xuan was a dark-skinned black man, and the other person had a square face and a wide mouth, holding a spear, nothing special. Looking at the dress of the two, they are no different from the bandits opposite.
"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, my name is Han Shi!" The black man puffed out his chest and declared his name loudly.
"This Brother Han, I don't know why you want to kill my brother?" Zong Boss's eyes closed slightly, and a wave of hatred shot out of his eyes.
Han Shi turned his head and glanced at the Zong Boss in surprise: "I said you were blind, right?" Who is going to kill who just now doesn't know? If it weren't for my brother's fast gun, would I still be standing here now? ”
"Then why is Brother Han meddling?" Zong Elder asked.
Han Shi walked to the side of the carriage, patted the carriage, and said with a smile: "Hey, I know this carriage, and I owe the owner of this carriage a big favor!" You are not allowed to move the people in this carriage. One of me dies here, one dies over there, it's flat! Get out of the way! ”
Although the Sect Boss stretched out his hand to stop the bandits around him, the bandits were not happy when they heard this, and everyone pushed the Zong Boss in front of him away: "What are you talking about?" A handlebar type can also change the life of our seventh child? ”
The Zong Boss was pushed to the ground, and one of the leaders of the bandits turned around and pointed: "The head in that wooden box had better be really valuable, otherwise you will have to pay for Lao Qi's life!" ”
"Two people still dare to be so arrogant, I think you two are impatient. Today, I will let you have a companion on Huangquan Road, so as not to be lonely! As he spoke, the bandits picked up their weapons one after another and rushed towards Wang Xuan and the others.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the woods from all directions, and people kept coming out of the grass, dressed like bandits, but they had too many advantages. There were about more than 100 people, and in a matter of moments, they surrounded the bandits on the side of the sect boss.
The situation turned around so quickly that the bandits didn't react, they wanted to take advantage of the large number of people to do business, who knew that the other party had more people, and he instantly became the disadvantaged party.
"How so? This lord, did these people kill or chop up? Han Shi smiled and asked Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan owed: "Thank you heroes, kill them all." ”
Han Shi's pupils shrank: Good guy, this is a ruthless person, looking weak, I didn't expect to be so ruthless in my bones, so thirty or forty people said that they would be slaughtered?
Wang Xuan knew in his heart that these bandits knew what was contained in the wooden box and dared to come and snatch it, and it was clear that they were the people of Dongfang Zhong, and it was useless to keep it. Since you have the upper hand at this time, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles.
"Stay with that person, I have something to ask him." Wang Xuan pointed at the Sect Boss again and said.
Han Shi waved his hand: "Do it!" ”
The bandits were fighting together, and the bandits on the side of the sect boss just now were frightened by the momentum of the other party, and some of them had unknowingly thrown away the weapons in their hands. What's more, at this time, Han Shi suddenly attacked, everyone was unprepared for a while, and the bandits under Han Shi were like chopping melons and vegetables, and the stumps and broken arms were everywhere, which was miserable.
Soon, the fight ended on one side, no accident, Han Shi's side won a big victory, and there was only one person left in the sect boss, who still fell to the ground, not knowing whether to beg for mercy or to fight hard.
Wang Xuan stepped on the blood of the ground and walked towards the sect boss: "But the Huquan Gang told you that if I take this wooden box out of the city, you will bring someone to stop me?" ”
Zong Boss trembled and kept silent, at this time, compared to the blood on the ground, he felt that the weak man in front of him was more frightening.
"You and the Tiger Springs Gang are both under the orders of Dongfang Zhong?" Wang Xuan asked again.
Zong Elder nodded slowly.
"I heard about you in Richeng, and you used some conspiracy to kill Boss Yao, and after being discovered, you left alone, but I didn't expect to come here. If I'm not mistaken, Lord Yi's whereabouts were also reported by you to Dongfang Zhong, so Dongfang Zhong set the pick-up location in Richeng. But I didn't expect something to happen in Weicheng, so Dongfang Zhong didn't go to pick up the Dongwei people. ”
The Sect Boss was very frightened, this person actually guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten...
"Or, Dongfang Zhong didn't want to answer at all, he hoped that Master Yi would die at the hands of the Dongwei people, but he didn't expect the Dongwei people to be so useless..."
Ten out of ten...
