Chapter 63: The assassination failed

Yang Shucheng and the two struggled to swim to the side of the big boat, and the people on the boat knew that they were two people who fell into the sea and rescued the two of them on the boat.

It was indeed a cargo ship that was walking privately, smuggling ginseng and mink southward.

The people on the boat asked where the two came from?

The two lied that they were the defenders of Liaoning City, and after the city was breached, the two could not cross the Shanhaiguan, so they had to swim back to Daming.

The people on the boat also praised the two of them as heroes, and dared to venture back to Daming, so they accepted the two on the ship.

It was a five- or six-day voyage from the south coast, and there were no warships patrolling here.

But he was still very cautious, and stopped at sea during the day, and only waited until night before sailing south.

The two of them stood on the boat, the sea and sky were vast, and they had seen enough of the spectacular sea view, so they had nothing to do. The two sat opposite each other, discussed each other's knowledge, talked about their life's ambitions, and scolded the traitorous minister who misled the country.

He drifted on the open sea for seven or eight days. That night, the big ship came southwest. It was already very close to the shore, and there were sparse lights in sight. The big ship is hidden behind a small island.

The next night, the ship increased its speed and rowed towards the shore. The silhouette of the tall mountains along the coast is already visible.

The people on the boat turned on the lights and flashed the code, and sure enough, after a while, they saw that there were also flashing lights on the shore.

Boat Old Avenue: "Everything is safe, everyone work hard and row the boat over." ”

The big boat soon came to the shore, jumped out of the shore and several men, and after a few words of greeting, they began to carry the goods.

Yang Shucheng and the two thanked the boss of the boat, jumped ashore, and inquired, this is already in Shandong.

The two said goodbye to the ship's boss and walked into the night. After walking for half the night, I came to a fishing village. I found a fisherman's house to rest.

The next day up. The two men asked for directions, and they came north. to seek revenge on the traitor.

After walking on the road for two days, I saw a group of soldiers patrolling in front of me towards the north.

The two had a common mind, and kept bowing their heads and approaching. These soldiers saw that the two were wearing Da Ming's clothes, but they didn't care, and followed them to the team.

The two men went to the two horsemen, pulled them off their horses, took their horses by themselves, turned over their horses, whipped them, and ran north.

The soldiers behind shouted and shouted, but they were all on foot, where could they catch up.

The two of them galloped all the way, and they had already thrown off the soldiers behind them.

The two rode their horses and galloped all the way north. I have been walking for seven or eight days, and I have come to Shanhaiguan.

The two came to the gate, the soldiers guarding the gate increased a lot, because of the defeat in the previous month, the situation is now critical, and there is no one who enters the Shanhaiguan and heads northeast.

The two waited in front of Shanhaiguan for several days, but did not find a chance to enter the city.

On this day and night, there was a team of grain and grass entering the pass, resting outside the pass, and the two of them got under the car when they were resting.

At dawn, this team entered the Shanhaiguan and brought the two into the customs.

The two were originally dressed in soldiers' clothes and hid in their abandoned houses. Do not come out during the day. At night, the two of them went to the General Soldier's Mansion.

In front of the General Army's Mansion, the patrol team was constantly patrolling, and the two of them came closer, so close to the traitor, but they couldn't get close.

On the night of the second day, the two of them did not wait any longer, flew up to the room, and came towards the general army's mansion. Seeing that he was about to arrive at the General Soldier's Mansion, he only heard a "whoosh" sound and an arrow was fired.

When Yang Shucheng heard this, he hurriedly dodged the arrow, only to hear the shouting below: "What person?" ”

The two knew that they had been discovered, so they hurriedly ran back, and the two knew that they couldn't break in, and the assassination failed, and they lost their lives in vain.

The patrol below fired arrows, and the arrows came like locusts. This Shanhaiguan is an important place inside and outside, this soldier is the elite of the country, and the archery is very accurate.

The two didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly ran back like flying.

There was a loud shout from below, shouting:

"Catch the spy."

A group of men and horses rushed over, and the arrows below were shot like rain, and there were also masters who flew up to the room, about thirty of them, and chased them straight towards the two.

At this moment, Qiu Lin said: "I'll block them, Yang Shaoxia run quickly." ”

Yang Shucheng said: "Where to speak, we will advance and retreat together." ”

Where did the two of them still have a chance to speak, and they used their swords to block the arrows one after another, and they had already been hit by a few arrows. Qiu Lin said: "Run towards the city wall." ”

Yang Shucheng understood that at this time, he ran towards the city gate, but the city gate was closed and he couldn't run out.

The two of them ran towards the high city wall with feathered arrows, and they were met by more than twenty soldiers, slashing at them with knives.

When the two fled for their lives, they rushed forward at the risk of death, and the soldiers saw that the two did not want their lives, but their own lives were still wanted, so they retreated instead.

The two took advantage of the situation and ran up the city wall instead. At this time, the whole city wall was full of soldiers, all with bows, and they were ready to fight, so that they could not escape even two small birds.

The two of them didn't care about life or death, and rushed forward with all their might, and mixed with the soldiers. The two men were covered in blood, and they were hit by five or six arrows, and they rushed to kill them as if they were crazy.

The two of them were on the high Great Wall, only rushing to the west, and the soldiers defending the city were mixed together, and the soldiers in the distance were afraid of killing their own people by mistake, and they did not dare to release arrows, Yang Shucheng and the two were able to run towards the west, and they ran four or five miles away in a row.

At this time, Wu Sangui was already running on the Great Wall on horseback, galloping wildly, and had already come to the place of chaos. He already recognized Qiu Lin.

He commanded, "Release the arrows." ”

When the soldiers received the order, they retreated, drew their bows and fired arrows at the two men, intending to shoot them into hedgehogs.

The two rushed to the city wall and jumped from the high wall with a gritted tooth.

This city wall is three feet high, jumping down and falling into a meat pie, I don't think that two people dare to jump down, it's really unexpected. The soldiers stood at the battlements and shot arrows downward.

The two of them jumped under the city wall, and their bones fell apart. Yang Shucheng learned too Qing Qigong and can still move, so Qiu Lin has fallen motionless, I don't know if he is dead or alive?

The rain of arrows from above shot down, Yang Shucheng turned over and pounced on Qiu Lin, took his sword to pull down the feather arrows, and shouted urgently: "General Qiu, General Qiu......"

I only heard a snort from below, Qiu Lin was still alive.

"Are you alright?"

"I can't die."

Yang Shucheng said: "I'll cover you, you climb over there." ”

There's a boulder over there, where you can hide, "Okay." Qiu Lin agreed, and Yang Shucheng turned over and came down, swung his long sword sharply, and blocked the incoming arrows.

Qiu Lin took this opportunity, turned over a few times, rolled down to the boulder, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, and shot Qiu Lin's master leg, Qiu Lin climbed half a step forward, but he couldn't.

Yang Shucheng struggled to block a wave of feather arrows that were shot down, ran up a few steps, reflexively grabbed Qiu Lin, dragged him behind the boulder, and hid.

Where would the soldiers on the city wall have thought that the two would jump off the city wall desperately. Seeing that they could not be shot, someone had already roped down from the city wall and rushed towards the boulder where the two were hiding.

Yang Shucheng judged the situation and decided to flee. He asked, "General Qiu, how is it?" Can you run, right? ”

"It's fine." Qiu Lin's body was already bleeding.

He grabbed Yang Shucheng and said, "Run, leave me alone." ”

"Where's the word?" Yang Shucheng grabbed Qiu Lin and ran towards the back of the stone. Thanks to the fact that the two of them ran four or five miles on the Great Wall, this place is already a lofty mountain.

Yang Shucheng pulled Qiu Lin and ran towards the deep mountains, the moonlight was unknown, and the two of them ran forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Accidentally, he fell under a deep cliff.

The pursuers behind chased after them along the bloodstains, and when they saw the two of them falling off the cliff, they couldn't think about it?

At this time, Wu Sangui wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and he also came here and ordered: "He is a prisoner of the imperial court, and he must die to see the corpse." ”

The soldiers were given the order to rope down the cliff.

said that the two fell off the cliff, they were separated, and it was dark under the cliff, Yang Shucheng woke up and shouted:

"General Qiu......"

Where there is a response, I think it is not alive.

Yang Shucheng's leg was also injured, but fortunately, when he fell, there was a slope below, and his body rolled down the grassy slope. Although the leg was injured, the bone was not broken and was fine.

Yang Shucheng struggled to stand up and shouted, "General Qiu......"

There was a humming sound in the distance.

Yang Shucheng staggered towards the humming place, and found that Qiu Lin was lying on his back on the grassy slope, and walked close with difficulty, and said:

"General Qiu."

That Qiu Lin also rolled down the slope, his life was fine, Yang Shucheng stepped forward to help him up, Qiu Lin said: "Yang Shaoxia, you go quickly." ”

"If you want to die together, how can I leave you. Let's go, we're going to get rid of this traitor. ”

That Qiu Lin grabbed Yang Shucheng's hand and said, "Well said! We have to live. The traitor cannot be allowed to live. ”

The two struggled to their feet. His body was already dripping with blood. In order to prevent the soldiers from chasing after the blood, the two men ripped off their clothes and bandaged the wounds so that the blood would not run down.

The two quickly stopped and did not dare to stay, so they walked forward with their arms in their arms.

It was a ravine, with steep cliffs on both sides, overgrown with weeds and boulders, and the two of them stumbled forward with difficulty.

The soldiers behind were already catching up.

Yang Shucheng said: "We don't go forward, but go up the mountain and avoid them." ”

The two climbed up the hill according to the plan, and there were many boulders and weeds here, and the two climbed behind a boulder and hid.

When he looked down, he saw a group of soldiers approaching, walking under the boulder, and walking forward.

Qiu Lin said: "This is a deep mountain and a wild mountain, if we don't leave, we will take refuge here." Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui didn't expect that we didn't escape, just around here. ”

The two of them had made up their minds, so they hid behind the rocks to rest, the moon in the sky was already slanting to the west, and the two of them had just fought to the death, and their bodies were already prostration, and they didn't even have the slightest strength.

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers chased all the way down the ravine, and did not come back to continue the search.

The two hid behind boulders and rested.

Soon it was dawn. The chickadees were already chirping overhead.

The two of them lay on the grass, which was already stained with blood. Fortunately, the blood on his body has already congealed.

The two of them got up and climbed the mountain with difficulty, looking at the Great Wall on the horizon, winding and undulating. Qiu Lin said: "I didn't expect that last night, I jumped desperately and jumped on the south side of the Great Wall. ”
