Volume 1 Snow Realm Chapter 234 The Wolf Smoke Rises
There was a commotion in the west of the city.
The Dajian mission that had just stopped and stayed in Ma was almost at the entrance of Liyuan, which was where the mission stayed, and if you went further, you could settle in and rest.
Yu etiquette is not in agreement, so he has to wait here for the greeting of the great prince Liu Tingxuan.
Even several officials and prefects of Jincheng are already waiting here!
Lian Kang didn't show up, only Master Gu was outside hammering his waist and chatting with them.
The commotion in Xicheng is getting bigger and bigger, and even the general of the county guard has gone over to check it out in person!
Looking outside through the sedan chair, Lian Kang couldn't help frowning.
Just then, the general returned!
led a lot of people, that posture ......
The general drew his bow and shot arrows from a distance, aiming at Lord Gu!
As soon as his eyes opened, one dodged out, blocking the arrow that almost killed Master Gu!
"Lian Kang!"
These officials all know him! I don't know what the matter is, but this is the Si Cheng of the Flying Eagle Division!
The general in the distance shouted directly: "It's Lian Kang! Give him to me, catch him! Dead or alive! There is a reward!"
This time,
Before the chaos could understand what was going on, the crossbow bolts were raining down on the other side!
Dozens of armored warriors also took the opportunity to rush over!
Master Gu was almost scared to death, it was really a ghost door to close!
However, Lian Kang's appearance also frightened the people of Xiyong! Especially those who were judged, prefected, and discussed.
Seeing this situation, he didn't hesitate too much, Lian Kang ordered the envoys to retreat!
But the cavalry on the opposite side has already come!
One of the envoys jumped to his feet, and with great force, picked up a carriage from his side, and threw it over!
This strength!
More than ten people took the opportunity to quickly come to Lian Kang's side.
Lian Kang shouted: "Let's go out first!"
Immediately, these more than ten people responded back and forth and broke through to the outside of the city!
......
When the general chased after him, he shouted to the prefect: "Lord Hu! You can see clearly! That's Lian Kang of the Flying Eagle Division! Something happened on West Street! The great prince was killed by the Flying Eagle Division and the people of Qingzhou!"
"What did you say?!"
This sentence shocked everyone. The discussion seemed to be unbelievable, and it was even necessary to confirm it.
"Yitian Sword Cao Feng killed the Great Prince! There are also people from the Flying Eagle Division involved! Now everyone has already run away! Please seal the city quickly!"
"What......" The prefect Hu opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and before he could finish a word, his eyes were black and he fainted!
"Master Hu!"
The general judge reacted quickly enough, and shouted loudly: "General Li, seal the city, seal the city quickly! Can't let them escape, or we'll all die!"
"Order!"
General Li commanded unhurriedly: "You have to pass the order of the lord and seal the city! Listen! Don't let any of the people of Dajian go, don't kill them when they see them! Bring back a corpse and reward 10 taels of silver, and those of the Flying Eagle Division will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! Lian Kang's will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!"
"Yes!"
Lord Deliberation added: "Lian Kang's head is 10,000 taels, and he has been promoted to three levels in a row!"
Immediately comprehended, the general judge also shouted: "Yes! 10,000 taels, three levels in a row, as long as you can kill Lian Kang, whether you live or die! The old man gave him a house! The house on South Street! The one he just bought!"
"Did you hear everything?
"Kill!"
The roar of the soldiers shook the sky!
The benefits of killing Lian Kang are so great!
......
It's just a pity that if you want to kill Lian Kang, how can it be so easy, the dozen or so people in the Flying Eagle Division are all masters, and just the reckless man who is as strong as an ox has already blocked the road by sweeping the two carriages!
By the time the order reached the city gates, the group had already rushed out of the city!
This golden city is on the edge of the Yellow River, a river and a city, once you escape, it is difficult to chase back!
This time, inexplicably, Xiyong suddenly turned his face, which made Dajian's people also depressed.
Master Gu was originally a literati, not to mention that he almost lost his life on this trip, and when he ran for his life, he was held on a horse by Lian Kang, and these few horseback riders suffered a lot, and they broke their bladders all the way.
When I peed in the grass, I urinated a stream of blood!
Gu Daren who watched was shocked.
looked at Lian Kang, who was still unhurried and calm next to him, and couldn't help complaining: "Look, I said you can't show up!
......
Seeing that he didn't speak, Master Gu complained even more: "Hey, I said that I shouldn't come on this errand, Brother Lian, you have to ask me to come, it's good now, I almost lost my life here!"
Shaking the crotch of his pants, Lian Kangti, who was still unfazed, lifted his pants, looked at the Yellow River, and said unhurriedly: "Don't jump to conclusions until the matter is clear." If Liu Ba really wants your life, he won't let you run away! What's more, if he really wants to go to war, why would he kill a large group of envoys? I'm afraid something has happened!"
"Something happened?"
It is not explained, this is the lower reaches of the Yellow River, more than 20 miles away from Jincheng, a delta area, and the water potential is not urgent.
Not far from the mountain, you can see a small mountain village, on which there is cooking smoke, I don't know whether to burn the kang or make rice.
Of the more than 100 people in this trip, less than 30 escaped, and most of them died in Jincheng.
The change came so quickly that many people were unexpected, and they didn't have time to react.
Look at the rest of the people, they are all martial artists, and most of them are people from the Flying Eagle Division.
They were either dressed up as attendants, porters, or guards, all of whom were mixed in with the legacy.
Lord Gu doesn't know about this matter, look at it, it will return to its original appearance, change the reckless clothes and clothes of the rivers and lakes, all of them are fierce and evil, that is, that woman is the kind of person with fierce eyes!
There was a female attendant who looked like a peugeot before, and Lord Gu was lustful, thinking that he would be called to serve him when he arrived at the place tonight, but now look at it, the woman's murderous eyes are staring at her crotch, I'm afraid that if it weren't for Lian Kang, he would have to give an account of his life by the Yellow River!
There is no intention of leaving here, they seem to be waiting.
Except for a few people who went out to find the way, the rest of the people all lit their own fires.
Burn three fires, one big and two smaller.
In the larger piles, they boiled water and baked cakes, eating while working. The water was poured into the fire continuously, and a large area of water vapor was steamed.
The smaller two piles are licked into them with wet branches and wet firewood. Puffs of black smoke came out.
This is a signal smoke, although Master Gu doesn't know much about it, he also knows a rough idea.
The general beacon smoke is divided into two types, one is wolf smoke and the other is signal smoke.
In the Hexi Corridor, wolf smoke is often seen in the Wusheling generation, which is also a common beacon smoke.
Why is it called wolf smoke?
The wolf smoke is the beacon fire, and the wolf dung was burned on the ancient beacon tower to give the alarm.
"Youyang Miscellaneous" said: "The smoke of wolf dung goes straight up, and the beacon fire uses it." ”
Of course, it is too much to say that wolf dung is used to burn smoke, and it is more to regard foreign enemies as wolves.
The Inner Central Plains also have the habit of burning smoke as a signal, which is different from the border areas, and is mostly used to get lost in the forest and call for help.
There are two kinds of smoke, black smoke and white smoke.
White smoke mostly indicates one's location, and you can call your partners to come and gather. The black smoke indicates that your location is dangerous, call your partner to pay attention, and be cautious.
But the cigarettes they burn are different.
It was a puff of white smoke, two puffs of black smoke, and three puffs of smoke burning at the same time.
If you don't pay attention to this, you will think that some caravan is resting here, so you will make rice and boil water, so that such irregular smoke will be produced. But in fact, there are many articles in it.
Master Gu, who is not in a low official position, probably knows that there is a white smoke in the middle and two small black smoke on both sides, which is called two short and one long. The implication is that the situation has changed drastically, and those who see the smoke are reminded to be cautious now.
They didn't do this in a hurry, and Lian Kang also sat there around, as if he wasn't panicking.
This made Master Gu nervous.
They are all martial artists, if Xiyong's pursuers chase after them, they can still have the ability to escape, but they are a rich man who is powerless. If you get caught, you won't be able to run if you want to!
Come and urge Lian Kang to run away.
I didn't expect the answer I got was actually no!
Will this work?
A group of people began to laugh when they saw the appearance of this civil official.
Gu thought of Lian Kang's face, and spoke politely, what Lord Gu was delicate and unbearable, and said that Lord Gu was too tired last night, and I was afraid that I would not have the energy to leave today.
Lord Gu just wanted to refute, but was glared at by the tiger wolf woman, and he was almost frightened!
But he saw that when he was about to go out of the city, the steel knife in the woman's hand was so sharp, and she flew out from her horse, and it turned out to be a move on the wall, and the knife was extremely vicious, specializing in attacking people in three ways! The guard who was stabbed in the crotch of her pants couldn't even hold a gun steadily, and lay on the ground covering the crotch of her pants and screamed miserably!
You must know that this is between life and death, if it is not painful to ask for your own life, how dare you lose the blade in your hand!
But this woman looked at him indifferently with a blood-red crotch, just not to give him a good time!
This kind of woman is so cruel that Lord Gu is also scared when she sees it!
In the end, someone else gave them two cakes and asked him to squat under the tree over there and eat them slowly!
In order not to show face, he put on an official authority and scolded a few words, and finally hid under the tree to eat cakes.
This section of signal smoke burned for a while and then went out.
He never meant to leave, Lian Kang was talking more with a few people around him, as if he was discussing things, and those people nodded from time to time.
However, he, the head of the Dajian Envoy Group, became a marginal figure.
In the winter, except for a few pine trees that are a little green, and the surrounding loess slopes, there is nothing.
Xin sighed, "Ma Luotan West urged people to advance, and people jumped over the Yellow River to force Ma to retreat." ”
I just heard them whispering that they want to cross the Yellow River and go there!
This couldn't help but make Master Gu annoyed and impatient.
This is the Yellow River!
A big river with wide waves, how can you get there without a ferry?
Swim past?
Not to mention it's winter, it's hard to swim through it even in the summer when the water level is at its lowest!
Raising his voice and sighing, it is nothing more than a reminder to Lian Kang, don't be so stupid, beware of people drowning inside!
But in the blink of an eye, these guys actually unloaded all the horses, flicked the whips, and drove them all away!
"Hey, this!"
"Hey, I forgot to leave a horse for Master Gu!"
"You ......"
Master Gu's eyes widened.
Lian Kang walked over, still with that cold look and said: "Master Gu, we are going to cross the Yellow River, I can't take you with me, you can find a way to go back to Jian'an yourself, the news has been transmitted back to Jian'an, and the emperor will send someone to pick you up!"
"Hey, Lian Kang, you, do you protect me? Besides, how do you cross the Yellow River?"
"Cut!" the people around him snorted disdainfully.
Lian Kang didn't answer, just moved lightly, thinking about going down to the riverbank.
Following the direction they went down, Master Gu unexpectedly saw a boat slowly sailing towards the shore.
This......
It turned out that he had been prepared!
At this point, what else can I say!
Looking back, that's all that's left.
