Volume 2 Chapter 139 Mojia Ranch (1)
Ji Dongmei said: "If I am allowed to deal with it a little, I can reduce the efficacy of the medicine." ”
Ling Yinyun said happily: "Okay, just do it." Just when Ling Yinyun thought that everything was ready, things were unexpected for him.
Wu Ran suddenly came to his room, his face sank, and said: "I just put Guan Kuang into the dungeon, and after a while, he escaped from the prison, and now it is estimated that he has escaped with people." ”
Ling Yinyun exclaimed, "Where are they going?" ”
Wu Ran said: "The king is still in Luzhou, and he is currently staying in the palace. ”
Ling Yinyun frowned and said, "He wants to go to the king?" ”
Wu Ran spread his hands and said, "Except for the king, where else can he hide?" ”
Ling Yinyun sighed: "Alas, the big fish in hand swam away like this. ”
Wu Ran couldn't help but laugh and said: "General Ling's words are wrong, but he acted so recklessly, he just fell into the fishing net, waiting for us to catch it." ”
Ling Yinyun asked, "What does Vice General Wu mean by this?" ”
Wu Ran stared for a long time, and said slowly: "In fact, even if Qian Xian is willing to come forward to commit perjury, it is absolutely impossible to want a general to be beheaded by virtue of her status as an outsider." No matter what the king says, he will protect Guan Shangkuang. Chu Yihou had already expected this, so he deliberately provoked him, so that Guan Shangkuang would be scared and escape. ”
Ling Yinyun was puzzled: "But he escaped, what good is it for us?" ”
Wu Ran's eyes flashed, and he said, "If he holds back his anger and stays and leaves with the other guests afterwards, maybe we will have nothing to do with him." But he left at night, isn't this the best time? ”
Ling Yinyun suddenly said: "Vice General Wu's intention, could it be that he wants to intercept him halfway?" ”
Wu Ran laughed and said: "The horse they are riding has already been given laxatives by us, and it is estimated that they will not be able to run far." Outside the wilderness, if Guan Shangkuang is killed by the bandits, how can the king be held responsible? ”
Ling Yinyun said: "Could it be that the king would believe that he was killed by a bandit?" ”
Wu Ran shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if you don't believe it, there is no other way." Close Kuang and say goodbye without saying goodbye, everyone knows, if there is an accident, should it be counted on Chu Yihou's head? Yongshanjun was afraid of this, so he specially found people from the Qinglong Kingdom and wanted to use them to get out. ”
Ling Yinyun said: "I see, then there is Lao Wuran." ”
Wu Ran smiled bitterly: "If this matter only needs Wu, there is no need for Wu to make this trip." Chu Yihou said that he was worried that there would be variables, so he ordered General Ling to hunt him down. ”
Ling Yinyun's heart moved: "Okay, with what Guan Shangkuang did, he was also innocent." Without further ado, the two got up and left.
Ling Yinyun walked to the stable and led the Shadow out. Wu Ran was already ready to go, leading fifty lightly armed cavalry and waiting at the back gate for a long time. Ling Yinyun pulled up the reins, let out a loud shout, and galloped on the snowy grassland.
After a long time, they really found the traces of Guan Shangkuang and others. Because the war horse was drugged, the other party simply dismounted and walked into the woods. It's a pity that it's early winter now, and the snow footprints reveal their whereabouts, and after a while, Ling Yinyun and Wu Ran chased them.
When Guan Shang Kuang saw them coming, he was surprised: "Okay, you Wu Ran, you actually played such a small trick, today I closed Kuang and confessed to planting." You don't have to tie me up, I'll walk back to the Forge Knife Village myself. ”
Wu Ran said: "You don't have to go back. As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Kuang raised his head in surprise, he pondered for a moment, his face turned iron-blue, and said in a trembling voice: "You, what do you want?" ”
Wu Ran's eyes revealed murderous intent, he dismounted, raised his long sword and laughed: "Lord Guan, you left without being tried by military law, and you were killed by mistake when you met a bandit, what do you think of my words?" ”
Guan Kuang's heart was shocked, and he understood what he meant. He breathed a sigh of relief, his face sank, and the long sword at his waist was quickly pulled out by his right hand, and he said angrily, "Which of you wants to come first?" ”
Ling Yinyun then dismounted, stepped forward and said, "Vice General Wu, leave this person to me." ”
Wu Ran was suspicious: "Isn't it okay if you have a shoulder injury?" ”
Ling Yinyun said happily: "He also has an arrow wound on his leg, and the two of them are offset, but it can be regarded as a fair fight." He pulled out the snow cold knife, and the cold light flashed, and he stood with the knife in his hand.
Closed Kuang shouted, and the long sword was drawn from the inside to the outside, drawing out a graceful arc, and with a sonorous sound, it hit Ling Yinyun's snow cold knife. Close up Kuang is about to attack,
Ling Yinyun's eyes were like torches, and the sword slashed downward, closing Kuang was surprised, raising his sword to block, the sound of gold and iron rang out, and the moves of both sides were as fast as lightning.
Ling Yinyun knew that he had an arrow wound in his calf, so he didn't deliberately move his position, lest he not be able to chase and reveal his flaws. Compared with him as a gentleman, Guan Kuang didn't have such a good heart, and stabbed Ling Yinyun fiercely at the shoulder injury.
Ling Yinyun swung the knife in his right hand, sat on the horse with a heavy waist, broke through the air like a wind, and the knife came like a storm.
Ling Yinyun slid sideways, and came back to the knife, the move contained infinite changes, and Guan Kuang was exhausted to deal with the blocking move, and there was no way to fight back. I saw Ling Yinyun snort coldly, slashing again and again, closing Kuang finally revealed a flaw, and half of his finger was cut off by his knife, so painful that he staggered back.
Ling Yinyun was like thunder, not giving him half a chance to breathe, he slashed at his chest with a knife, closed Kuang dodge and couldn't dodge, he was slashed into the skin by his knife, and blood was splashed on the spot. Ling Yinyun didn't give him a way to live, his backhand rotary knife penetrated, and the snow cold knife pierced into his body inch by inch, and closed Kuang finally ushered in the death period.
Ling Yinyun put away his knife and stood up, and the people around him were almost beaten, and all the people brought out by Guan Kuang died. Ling Yinyun looked at Guan Shangkuang's corpse and secretly thought, although he couldn't save Qi Zhan's life, at least he could let the person who killed him fall on the spot, which could be regarded as comforting his spirit in the sky.
Ling Yinyun stepped into the State Guest House, which was the place where the Knife Casting Village entertained foreign guests, and unlike the previous place where the banquet was held, there were about forty seats here.
Ling Yinyun crossed the threshold and walked into the museum. More than a dozen people sat nearby, making a commotion and toasting each other. Most of the people sitting inside are guests, so they are not affected by the recent days, and they still sing songs every night.
There are stoves in the four corners of the museum, which makes the museum warm like spring.
When everyone saw Ling Yinyun coming, nearly half of them stood up and greeted him. Xiang Shaolong swept his eyes and was surprised to find that Yongshanjun and Guo Ping were both guests. He looked at it for a while, and the people around Yongshanjun were dressed in wide clothes and had a round neck, which looked like the costumes of the Qinglong Kingdom.
Ling Yinyun calmed down, picked a corner and sat down, and Yin Xiu and Ji Dongmei also sat on the left and right sides. Soon after the three of them were seated, the guests greeted him one after another, and they exchanged respects with him.
After a long time, Wu Ran walked in, came to his side, and whispered: "I heard the news, Yongshanjun set off in the evening and went all the way to the palace." ”
Ling Yinyun frowned and said, "When will we start?" ”
Wu Ran advised: "Wait for Wu to send someone to inform General Ling, don't leave the table without permission, otherwise it will not be good for Yongshanjun to see the clues." ”
Ling Yinyun understood what he meant and nodded. Wu Ran said that there was something wrong and retired first. The remaining three continued to drink, pretending that nothing had happened. As Wu Ran said, although Yongshanjun was busy entertaining, his subordinates straightened their backs and looked at the three of them.
Yin Xiu took advantage of the gap and leaned up and said: "The man wearing a turban behind Yongshan Jun is named Zhang Huan, I have seen him practice swords in the courtyard in the past few days, and his sword moves are very sharp, the second brother should be careful." ”
Ling Yinyun said: "I understand. In fact, even if Yin Xiu didn't say it, he could see it somewhat from the man's blazing eyes. It is no longer a strange thing that Yongshan Jun has capable people, especially since Ling Yinyun has fought with the people he sent, and he understands that it is powerful.
Ji Dongmei said worriedly: "Master Ling, your shoulder injury is not healed, you must not be too reluctant." ”
Ling Yinyun nodded and said with a wry smile: "You are right, this is indeed very important. If I hadn't been injured, I would have provoked trouble in front of Yongshanjun and forced his men to fight with me. ”
Yin Xiu asked, "Why don't I do it on behalf of my second brother?" ”
Ling Yinyun shook his head and said, "No, there is no need to do this thing. Anyway, Adjutant General Wu already has a countermeasure, and it will be a bad thing for us to act without authorization. ”
After a long time, Yongshanjun stood up and walked out. Thinking that he was just going to breathe, it wasn't until the guards behind him lined up and followed him out of the house that Ling Yinyun realized that something was wrong.
Ling Yinyun was about to get up, but was surrounded by a group of people to toast. He was not good, knowing that they were delaying time, so that he could not catch up with Yongshanjun. At this moment, Ji Dongmei pretended to be uncomfortable and said, "Master Ling, my head hurts a little, maybe it's from the cold." ”
Ling Yinyun echoed: "That's too bad, I'll help you go back to the room." Although the guests wanted to stay, they were glared at by him, and everyone felt a chill down their backs, and they didn't dare to entangle any longer.
Sure enough, as soon as they left the house, Wu Ran sent someone to report that Yongshanjun had set off ahead of schedule. Ling Yinyun didn't dare to delay, hurriedly changed into silver and white armor, lifted the Lingyun gun, and rode on the Shadow to rendezvous.
Wu Ran saw him, frowned and said: "Oh no, Yongshan Jun has already laid out a plan, he sent someone to disguise himself as him, and he moved forward in five ways, even if the carriage slowed down, we may not be able to catch up with me." ”
Ling Yinyun couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Yongshan monarch is really scheming, no wonder he is so presumptuous and has no trace. Ling Yinyun looked at Yin Xiu in the rear, then turned his gaze to Wu Ran, and said, "That's good, our troops are divided into three ways, at least there is a better chance." ”
Wu Ran shook his head and said: "This can't be done, the army he leads is not trivial, and one of us alone is not enough to fight against it, but he will be called a traitor." ”
Ling Yinyun said: "Yongshanjun is divided into five roads, can Vice General Wu have traces of them?" ”
Wu Ran nodded and said, "I sent scouts to investigate, but when he entered the carriage, his whole body was tightly wrapped, and we couldn't tell which one was true." ”
Ling Yinyun's heart flashed, and he said, "Since he has brought guests from the Blue Dragon Kingdom, he will definitely use it as a shield, as long as he follows the team with guests." ”
Wu Ran said happily: "Okay, I'll send someone to do this." ”
After a long time, the scout really reported that there was only one team with seven carriages, and the last three carriages were all sitting on VIPs from the Blue Dragon Kingdom. The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and they galloped on the grassland.
Soon, they came to the place where the scouts had returned. Wu Ran looked around, and sure enough, the team was moving slowly, the carriage was richly decorated, and the maidservants and subordinates walked on both sides.
Not only that, Ling Yinyun fixed his eyes and saw that the person sitting on the horse and leading the way was that Zhang Huan. Ling Yinyun turned his head and said, "Zhang Huan is his right-hand man, he must be in this team." ”
The three of them talked, and because the other party was more numerous than expected, they decided to make a move in the dark of night and kill him by surprise. After deciding on the policy, the three of them led a hundred horsemen, bypassing the official road and going to the remote valley in front of them to stand by.
They laid out stumbling ropes, sent dozens of men to hide in trees and set up bows, and waited for them. Everything was ready, and they rested and recuperated for their arrival.
Soon after, as it grew dark, they set up camp by the stream. The other party came from far and near, and everyone on Ling Yinyun's side held their breath and looked at each other, not daring to be careless.
Just as Zhang Huan dismounted and instructed everyone to raise the bonfire, Ling Yinyun saw that their team was scattered, and with an order, the crossbow arrows swept into the air with the trigger. Seeing that several people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, the soldiers who were lying in ambush swarmed up, and suddenly the sound of killing in the woods was everywhere, and there was a miserable scream.
The sudden attack caused confusion among the enemy, and he wanted to ride his horse out of the encirclement, but at this moment, the tripping horse that had been set up made a great achievement, only to hear the neighing of the war horse, the front hooves knelt, and the cavalry fell off the horse.
Ling Yinyun lifted the Lingyun gun, picked Zhang Huan's location, and rushed forward. In the dim moonlight, Zhang Huan and Ling Yinyun glanced at each other, and the two of them didn't say a word, holding each other's weapons. Suddenly, Zhang Huan rushed with an iron sword in his hand, and Ling Yinyun also snorted coldly, holding a gun to fight with him.
The sound of the silver spear in Ling Yinyun's hand breaking through the air and whistling was endless, Zhang Huan's iron sword slashed head-on, Ling Yinyun flexibly teased with the tip of the spear, turning defense into attack, first breaking his move and then receiving the next stab. Although Ling Yinyun was wounded in the shoulder, his weapons were an inch short and an inch dangerous, and he held the spear of the king of a hundred soldiers, which happened to make up for his disadvantages.
Ling Yinyun's eyes lit up with coldness, and he leaned over and stabbed, and Zhang Huan's iron armor was cut open, making him stunned and retreat. How could Ling Yinyun give him a chance, the spear shot out of his hand with a swift wind, like a poisonous snake.
Although Zhang Huan thinks that his swordsmanship is superb, but when he fights with guns and swords, he is already at a disadvantage, not to mention that Ling Yinyun is a master of using guns, and his marksmanship is endlessly varied, and he can't guess the next blow even if he wants to break his head.
Zhang Huan knew that he would definitely lose in this way, so he simply gave up the defense, first fizzed the spear with a feint, and then leaned down and swept quickly. Ling Yinyun had a shoulder injury, and before the spear in his hand could be withdrawn, Zhang Huan grabbed the gap and came up.
Zhang Huan was secretly pleased that if he avoided the muzzle of the gun and fought in close combat, the sword would have the upper hand. Just when Zhang Huan was smug and thought that the victory was in his hands, Ling Yinyun simply threw down the spear, and with the power of his waist horse, he pulled out the snow cold knife and slashed at his head.
Zhang Huan didn't expect him to change his knife, and in a moment of carelessness, although he raised his sword to resist, his fingertips had been cut off in half. Zhang Huan held his wrist and looked in pain. He swallowed, didn't say a word, and fled behind him.
