Chapter 8 Spending the night in a mountain village
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the streets of Changle,
The blood-stained iron rider is even more angry,
Xu Xian was guarded in the middle and went to the city gate as fast as possible.
"The last general Chen Yusheng, meet the Hou Ye!"
At the gate of the capital, a strong man fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of the night, the city gates had been quietly opened, and there was no one except a few cronies.
"Master Hou, the city gate has been opened, please leave quickly, the army outside the city has two teas to surround you. Chen Yusheng knelt down on one knee and looked at Xu Wu on the horse, his eyes were very firm.
Chen Yusheng is also a disciple of the generals in Shangjing,
originally planned to go over there according to the family's arrangement to hone his military skills for a few years, but he stayed under the cheap dad for more than ten years, and the high-spirited young man in the past became a rough man.
"Let's go, how is Chen Shoujiang good?"
Xu Xiance immediately stepped forward to look at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Returning to His Royal Highness, Chen has received countless favors from the Hou Ye, and he deserves to repay him with death!"
"No, no!"
As he spoke, the sword in Xu Xian's hand was unsheathed, and Chen Yusheng's eyes widened and he didn't dodge.
"General Chen Shou, he resisted desperately when he encountered a thief at night, and unfortunately he was seriously injured!"
"There are still more than a dozen corpses of my father's guards on the streets of Changle, and Chen Shou will quickly send someone to put them away as evidence. ”
Xu Xian put his sword into the sheath and arched his hand at the undead on Changle Street, the deceased is gone, and the living will continue to live!
"Your Royal Highness, this ......" Chen Yusheng wanted to speak and stopped, ignoring the blood flowing from his abdomen.
"Just listen to the idler!"
"You stay well in the capital, and when my Beiliang 300,000 iron horsemen enter the customs, it will be no problem to wait for worship. Xu Wu waved his hand to close the coffin.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Chen Yuwu fell to the ground and couldn't afford to bow down for a long time, the Chen family is declining in this upper capital, the eldest brother is not reused as an official in the court, and he seems to be an important position guarding the city gate, but there is no hope for promotion.
Today, he also made a choice for his family, if the Zhenbei Hou uprising failed and the matter was revealed, the eldest brother would carry his head to the court to protect the family.
If the Marquis of Zhenbei really entered the capital, he would be from the dragon's skill, and the family's soaring fortune is just around the corner!
"Master Hou, stay!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuwu shouted horizontally.
"There are more than 100 shocking crossbows in the hands of the last general, give them to the Hou Ye, and I hope that the journey will be safe!" The words fell, and several of the personal soldiers beside Chen Yuwu lifted the oilcloth to reveal the cold bow and crossbow inside.
Xu Xian was also stunned when he looked at the dark luster of the crossbow body,
This kid is on the road!
The shocking crossbow comes from the Great Qi State General's workshop, with an annual output of only more than 1,000, and it can penetrate the fine armor within fifty steps, and it is a sharp weapon for killing.
If the more than 1,000 crossbow arrows in the Daqing Palace before were all from the Shocking Crossbow, Xu Xian estimated that he would have run away a long time ago, and he could still drink calmly and pretend to be forced.
"Hou Ye, rest assured, these shocking crossbows are all smuggled from the border, and they will not implicate the last general. ”
"I have a heart. ”
Xu Wu sighed, waved his hand, and the iron horse behind him turned over and dismounted, looking at these one hundred and twenty terrifying crossbows and couldn't take his eyes off, Beichuan County is really poor!
All the silver was used to maintain the cavalry, and that thing really burned money, like a bottomless pit, even if hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were thrown into it, there was no sound to be heard.
After dismounting, Xu Wu's personal guards did not dare to delay, and after equipping the shocking crossbow, they turned over and ran out of the city.
On the tower of the city,
"Little Four, this Lord Chen's actions are a big crime of killing the head, let's ......" A soldier gently patted his companion beside him, and whispered to his ear.
"Brother Zhang, my grandmother has lived for more than eighty years, and her body is still strong, do you know why?"
The creep stopped to release the water, lifted his pants and made a clever move.
"Why?"
"Those women with broken mouths in the market are short of the Li family, but my grandmother has never been idle in her life!"
After the soldier finished peeing, wrapped in the clothes on his body, he lay comfortably in the corner and didn't speak, and the little soldier couldn't speak with his mouth open, as if it was really so reasonable.
At the gates of the city,
Chen Yuwu squinted at the distant iron knight and felt a twitch in pain, this time it was really a bloody investment, and the savings of many years were swept away.
It is commonplace for the family to bet at both ends, but for Chen Yuwu, this time it is really a desperate bet!
......
A bright moon hangs high in the sky,
The iron cavalry is a remote road to move forward, there is no official road in all directions, and there are constant ups and downs along the way, almost giving Xu Xian a bump and a fight.
Xu Xian rode on the horse and felt the hot touch on the inner thighs, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was numb after walking down for so long.
In the past, I was still drinking and singing with my friends at KTV, maybe I still had a beautiful young lady in my arms, but now I have become the number one thief in the world, and I have to run for my life overnight.
"Hou Ye, more than ten miles ahead will be in Changping County. ”
"The subordinates have already detected and there is no ambush. When Xu Xian was full of thoughts, the spies in front of him sent back the news.
"Daddy, let's take a break. ”
Xu Xian was still very serious, but Ye Gucheng behind him was already as pale as paper, and beads of sweat continued to drip from his forehead, wetting most of Xu Xian's back.
"This ......"
Xu Wu's brows furrowed, as far as he could see, there was no place to heal, if he left behind this life-saving three-grade swordsman, Xu Wu would definitely not be able to do it, this is a big treasure, not to mention the grace of saving lives.
"Back to the Hou Ye, my subordinates know that there is a small village ahead. An iron rider stepped forward and spoke.
"How far?"
"Seven or eight miles away, it's remote, and it's not easy to find. ”
"Good!"
After a stick of incense,
Looking at the village from afar, there are still a little lights in the village,
Not far from the village, there is a single family that looks a little dilapidated.
From afar, Xu Wu suppressed the sound of the horses.
"Xian'er, you take this strong man to that house alone, try not to disturb the villagers, I will lead the iron horse to camp in this periphery, and I must set off early tomorrow morning no matter what the situation is!"
"If a villager finds out, just shout. Xu Wudi looked at the village chief not far away and sighed.
Once discovered, there is only the slaughter of the village,
There is no room for indecision in critical times.
"Hmm. ”
Xu Xian nodded, turned over and dismounted, and walked to the nearby house with Ye Gucheng on his back.
"Old man, we met bandits, and in order to save me, my brother was seriously injured. Xu Xian pushed open the door and saw an old man leaning on the building drinking wine and eating peanuts.
"I have to spend the night!"
When the words fell, a silver ingot had already fallen on the wooden table.
"Little doll is polite, we don't like this. ”
The old man was stunned, and even the peanuts on the chopsticks fell into the plate.
"Hurry up and put the person flat on the kang, it is very tiring to see that this way, plus the lack of qi and blood after a long time of travel. The old man stepped forward quickly, took Ye Gucheng from Xu Xian's hand, and put it flat on the kang.
"There's nothing to do in the country, so I'm going to kill the old hen in the yard and make up for it. ”
The old man walked out of the courtyard after speaking.
Xu Xian didn't care too much, took out a few pills from his arms and fed Ye Gucheng with the soju on the table to drink, this pill was still touched from the dead old eunuch, it must be a good baby.
After feeding the medicine, Xu Xian had time to look at the room, it is not an exaggeration to describe the four walls of the house, even the kerosene lamp on the table is flickering and flickering, and the oil and water are insufficient, but the old man doesn't even look at the silver ingot.
"Hoho ......"
After a while, the old hen's fluttering sound was quiet, and the sound of Huo Huo's knife sharpening came, and Xu Xian looked at the old man's face through the leaky wooden window, as if sharpening a knife was a very sacred thing.
Xu Xian's expression turned cold, something was wrong with that bad old man!
