Chapter 3 Zhao Ji's mother and son
Happy times are always short-lived, or maybe God didn't hear Wu Zhanniang's prayers at all, the giant hand of bad luck is slowly stretching out towards this family of three, what is the future, who can predict it?
Seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, as usual, Wu Laosan took his son to practice boxing and kicking, and was walking back with a smile.
"The profession of espionage has existed since ancient times, and there is a special chapter in "The Art of War" to explain how to use the room, and the spy can be divided into the cause room, the inner room, the anti-room, the life room, the death room, etc., and so on......" Wu Laosan taught his son the knowledge of espionage without saying a word as he walked, and Wu Zhan listened attentively, for fear that he would miss his father's words.
Suddenly, Wu Laosan squatted on one knee on the ground, looked at Wu Zhan's clear eyes and said: "Zhan'er, spy can be said to be the most dangerous profession in the world, but if the identity is discovered by the enemy, there is no life, Daddy hopes that you will not repeat my mistakes in the future, Dad only hopes that you can be an ordinary person and spend your life peacefully." ”
Experiencing the care from his father for the first time, Wu Zhan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and only listened to him: "Dad, how can anyone in my Daqin be willing to be an ordinary person?" When Zhan'er grows up, he wants to be a big hero like his father and make contributions to my Great Qin! ”
Seeing that his son had great ambitions, Wu Laosan couldn't help but shake his head secretly, is this fate? But also, in troubled times, how can anyone be alone......
"Okay, it is worthy of being a descendant of my old Wu family, with ambition!" Wu Laosan gave a thumbs up and shook it in front of his son, and gently pinched Wu Zhan's cold nose, before getting up and walking home with his son.
Seeing that the courtyard gate was in sight, Wu Laosan stopped suddenly, and a sense of foreboding rose to his heart.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Wu Zhan keenly noticed his father's abnormality, so he raised his head and asked.
Wu Laosan didn't reply, but just pulled his son behind him and gently pushed open the closed courtyard door.
I saw a carriage parked in the courtyard at some point, and there were several arrows stuck around the carriage, as if it had just been shot. An old horse with messy coat was standing in place, wagging its tail leisurely.
"Got a guest at home?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but ask suspiciously, because in his impression, there were almost never guests who came to his house.
Wu Laosan seemed to realize something, only to see him look solemn, holding Wu Zhan's hand tightly, and walking towards the house.
It was getting late, and the thatched hut that was already dim was even less lit at this time, and with a soybean-sized lamp, I saw a man standing in the center of the room with his arms crossed, the man was dressed in black, with animal skins on his shoulders and a hat on his head, and most of his face was covered by a black scarf, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and a long sword in his right hand was incompatible with the people and things in the house.
On the bed not far away, there was a woman in a gorgeous costume kneeling, because the light was too dim to see her appearance, but judging from the outline of her figure, there must be no doubt that she must be a beauty in ten thousand. Next to the woman was a child dressed in fine clothes, who should be a few years younger than Wu Zhan.
The people Wu Zhan could see on weekdays were all people in the village, and He had seen so many strangers at once, so he shyly hid behind his father again.
After the man in black and Wu Laosan looked at each other, a hoarse voice came: "What year is it?" ”
As soon as Wu Laosan entered the door, he had already guessed a few points from the outfit of the man in black, and when he heard his hoarse voice, he was even more confirmed.
"Great Qin Wannian!" Wu Laosan replied slowly.
Through his father's explanation these days, Wu Zhan knew that this was his father and the man in black talking to each other.
"Netherworld Guard Dongfang Yun has seen Brother Wu, and he has a mission!" The man in black lowered his arm and said, but his eyes skimmed to the woman in gorgeous clothes behind him.
Without waiting for Wu Laosan to react, the man in black called Dongfang Yun turned around and said: "This is Mrs. Ji and Zheng Gongzi, after King Xiaowen succeeded to the throne, he set up another person as the crown prince, Zhao Guoming wanted to send Mrs. Ji and Zheng Gongzi back to Qin, and as soon as he entered the Qin realm, he withdrew to escort the people, and secretly sent assassins to intercept and kill Madame Ji and Zheng Gongzi at the border of Qin and Zhao. ”
"Fortunately, we secretly followed all the way from Handan and saved Mrs. Ji's mother and son when the assassins attacked, but the brothers were also killed and injured......
As a senior spy, how could Wu Laosan not know the identities of Mrs. Ji and Zhenggongzi? But it was precisely because of their special status that Zhao Guo would be willing to let them go back to Qin?
The meaning of Dongfang Yun's words is already obvious, that is, he hopes that he can protect Mrs. Ji's mother and son with him. For a moment, Wu Laosan wanted to open his mouth to refuse, because he had already been cold to the king of Qin, and he never wanted to return to the life of fighting and killing, and now he just wanted to spend the rest of his life happily with his wife and children.
At this time, Zhao Ji, who was originally kneeling on the bed, got up leisurely and slowly walked in front of Wu Laosan, reflecting the flame of the lamp, Wu Zhan finally saw the appearance of the person who came, only to see her black hair like a waterfall, her face like congealed fat, willow leaves with curved eyebrows, cherry mouth, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were shining, almost able to hook out people's souls......
In the past, Wu Zhan thought that the most beautiful woman in the world must be his mother, but after he saw the richly dressed woman in front of him, he was sure that this person might be a fairy in the sky.
Zhao Ji came to Wu Laosan, and suddenly she was blessed, her movements were beautiful, and her body was intoxicating. Wu Laosan was so frightened, seeing that she saluted herself, she was busy reaching out to help her, but her hand was only halfway stretched out and then retracted, and there was a huge difference between her identity and her identity......
I saw Zhao Ji lightly open his mouth, and a beautiful voice came: "I know that Mr. is my Great Qin warrior, if Mr. can save me and Zheng'er from danger today, I will definitely invite a strange husband to let Mr. and his family enjoy the glory of generations......"
Wu Laosan was born in the army after all, where did he dare to refuse at this time, so he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Wu Laosan, the general of the Great Qin, is willing to protect Mrs. Ji and Zhenggongzi Quan, and go to the soup to fight the fire!" ”
Zhao Ji's stunning eyes lit up, and then he personally helped Wu Laosan on the ground up. The child in Chinese clothes who was originally sitting on the bed also ran over at some point, grabbed Wu Zhan's hand, and said happily: "Hello little brother, my name is Zhao Zheng, can we be friends?" ”
"Of course, my name is Wu Zhan." Wu Zhan said happily that friendship between children is always easy to build.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Wu Zhanniang walked in with a basin of steaming multigrain porridge, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Distinguished guests come from afar, there is nothing to entertain......"
"Poof!"
An arrow with cold light poked out of his chest, and the crimson blood bloomed like a dazzling flower. The smile on the corner of Wu Zhanniang's mouth has not yet receded, but the person has fallen forward.
"Dangchang!"
The clay pot shattered to the ground, and hot porridge poured out.
"Embroidery girl!" Wu Laosan let out a sad cry and flew towards his wife who fell in mid-air, while Dongfang Yun took advantage of the situation to push Wu Zhan and Zhao Zheng aside, closing the wooden door between the lightning and stone fire, and nailing the door board with strong arrows one by one, which made people tremble.
Wu Zhan saw that the blood on his mother's chest in his father's arms was like a gossamer, and he reacted to what was happening, so he rushed towards his mother desperately, and said hoarsely: "Mother......"
"The Assassin is coming!" Dongfang Yun pulled Wu Zhan back behind him, leaned his back against the wooden door, drew his sword in his hand, swung out the scabbard, and the oil lamp hanging on the pillar was instantly extinguished, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
"Good...... Raise...... Zhan'er grew up these days...... It's my ...... The happiest ......" Wu Zhanniang wanted to reach out and touch her husband's face again, but unfortunately her hand was only halfway stretched and hung down weakly......
"Embroidered Niang......" Wu Laosan hugged his beloved wife who had lost her life tightly, and was grieving.
Wu Zhan couldn't break free from the black-clothed man's block, so he could only cry and kick.
Suddenly, a series of flaming rockets roared into the house through the windows, and in an instant, the bottles and cans in the house shattered to the ground, the raging fire burned everywhere, and the smoke choked everyone coughing.
"Embroidery girl, wait for me!" Wu Laosan slowly put down his beloved wife's body, waved his sleeves to wipe away the tears on his face, then pulled out the short dagger on his waist, ignored Dongfang Yun's call, slammed open the door, walked out of the door, and rushed towards the place where the arrow came from.
Outside, the moonlight is like a wash, and the snow is reflected like day.
On the courtyard wall, there were several masked people holding bows and arrows, and the fire arrows were shooting towards the hut like meteors.
Wu Laosan's eyes were red at this time, and he was not afraid in the face of the rockets that were coming quickly, only to see him flickering left and right, like a black lightning shuttling in the snow, and soon he had come to the root of the wall, and without waiting for the assassin to pick up the arrow, Wu Laosan jumped up on the spot, and the short dagger in his hand slashed across the night sky, cutting the neck of a masked man......
"Snort...... Sneer......"
The crimson blood spurted hot on the white snow, like a blooming flower.
Wu Laosan did not pause, his toes tapped the wall, like a predatory Dapeng bird, swept forward, and when he landed, three more masked people were settled, and a corpse fell from the wall, making a dull sound.
Only then did everyone in the house cover their mouths and noses and come out one by one, and the thatched hut behind them had already fallen into a sea of smoke and fire, and the flames continued to explode in the night sky.
Dongfang Yun protected Zhao Ji's mother and son tightly behind him, Wu Zhan struggled to drag his mother's body, Zhao Zheng saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the two children used their strength to drag Wu Zhanniang's body out of the house.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
In the darkness, three masked men dressed strangely tall and thin walked out one after another, one was nine feet tall, with red hair and one eye, and carried a spear behind him; One is as strong as a bear, with a bald head and a straight belly, and a jet-black hammer on his shoulder; The last person has a graceful figure, water sleeves and a snake waist, although the black scarf covers her face, it still makes people believe that her appearance will not be bad, plus the two people next to her, a tall and a fat, make people want to take off the black scarf on her face and see the beauty.
The tall one-eyed man who walked in front stuck the spear in his hand on the ground and applauded: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect that there would be such a skilled person in this poor and remote place of the Qin State." ”
The sound is like a night owl, and it is terrifying.
Wu Laosan squatted on the wall, leaning the short dagger on his chest, and a pair of falcons stared at the approaching three people, only to feel that the sense of oppression coming from these three people was suffocating.
"Hand over Zhao Ji's mother and son, and I'll keep your whole body!" The fat, bald man said in an urn.
"This is my Great Qin land, don't think about going back alive since you're here!" Wu Laosan said fiercely.
"Look for death!" The bald man shouted violently, and the big hammer on his shoulder was raised leisurely, only to see him twist his waist, and the hammer in his hand was smashed towards Wu Laosan who was squatting on the wall with a strong wind.
The hammer is black all over, the huge hammer head weighs thirty or forty pounds, and there is a long iron chain attached to the hammer handle, which is really fast like a meteor, and the power is amazing.
