Chapter 280: Silent When Fortune and Misfortune Come (6)
For as long as he can remember, Hate Hongchen has never felt so irritable.
Irritability, perhaps, stems from restlessness. However, even she herself did not know what she was worried about.
The uneasiness for no reason made her very irritable, and the frequency of wiping the sword became faster and faster.
"Haven't they done it yet?" she asked the Great Envoy standing aside. Now, she just wants to get things done quickly and lie down and sleep.
Kill all the people in Baiwei Hall, and the matter here will be finished.
The Great Envoy bowed slightly, and replied softly: "Master Hui, Xinzi has just come to pay homage, and the people of Baiwei Hall have already gathered, and they should have already started at this time." ”
... ...
Mei Yuanchen was lying on the bed in the inn, holding the sachet that Begonia gave him before leaving, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
"Childe, this is the sachet I embroidered last night, and there are some refreshing and headache-relieving herbs in it, so you can take it with you. When you are tired, take it out and smell it, maybe it will be better. ”
"You have to be careful about everything when you go back to the capital, I... I'll wait for you to go back to Jinzhou, you are a manly husband, you said you would marry me, but you can't break your word!"
Thinking of Begonia's gentle whisper before parting and Pear Blossom's tearful face, Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but whisper: "Begonia, are you asleep now?"
... ...
"Childe, where have you been? After a day's journey, your body must be tired? Have you slept now?" Begonia leaned against the bed rail, looked at the osmanthus tree outside the house that was silver and white by the starlight, and whispered softly.
Begonia woke up from a dream.
After Mei Yuanchen left, her heart was empty, and she went to bed very early. After going to bed, I quickly fell asleep again.
She dreamed that she had become a fish, swimming in the water, swimming... Suddenly, a large monster fish emerged from behind the boulder and rushed towards him, trying to eat him. As soon as the big monster fish bit the fish, she woke up.
Luckily, it's just a nightmare.
"Childe, I miss the more than a year with you in Yuqiong Langyuan, it was the happiest day of Begonia's life..."
"Wang!Wang!Wang~~~" The dog in the outer courtyard barked a few times and then suddenly fell silent.
"Who!" the cloud kite shouted, "Someone has broken in
It's over!"
... ...
Seeing the people of King Yun's Mansion and the team of King Jaw Mansion walking away, Du Chong was anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly. Although Shi Cai Fang and others all said that they would swear to protect the county lord to the death, he couldn't let go at all.
The chain crossbows in the hands of the black-clothed men were a rare close-range assault weapon, because of their complicated construction and high cost, the entire Dahua was only equipped with some of the elite of the Shenshao Battalion and the Jinwei.
This kind of chain crossbow has a total of four rows of arrow slots, each row of arrow slots can be placed in five short iron arrows, each press of the machine can be less than half a breath of time to fire five arrows in a row, and its arrow body than a general arrow as long as the shorter is much smaller, but the weight is slightly heavier, is extremely penetrating, once several crossbows are fired together, it is really extremely difficult to dodge.
The lack of certainty to avoid the chain crossbow is the reason why the three of them did not dare to do it easily. They all understood what Xia Chengyi meant to the Jaw Palace, and to Xia Chengxuan.
"You're already out of the city, hurry up!" Hua Fang drove his horse close to He Fukai and said coldly, "It's getting late, so I can't send it far!"
He Fukai frowned, shook his head slightly, and replied: "I'm afraid that the pursuers of the Jaw King's Mansion are not far behind us, if we let the county lord go, I'm afraid that they will attack in half an hour." When the time comes, they don't have any worries, how can we resist it? I'm sorry, but if you want to go, I won't stop you. However, Lord Chengyi had to send us to a safe place where we could leave. ”
He was right, the group went out of the city only two miles away, so Du Chong sent more than a dozen people to follow them all the way, saying that he would send one person back every half an hour to report his whereabouts. This is a common pursuit method in the army, which is suitable for long-distance tracking of large groups of people.
Hua Fang's face turned cold, and he pointed at the bridge of his nose and scolded: "He Fukai, you are a seven-foot man in vain, and you are so untrustworthy!"
"Hmph!" He Fukai snorted coldly and replied, "If Du Chong doesn't send someone to follow, we will naturally let the county lord go back after traveling two or three hundred miles." But I know that he will secretly send someone to follow behind, don't worry, when my men kill them, I will have a good discussion with you!"
He had quietly made a gesture to his cronies, and they understood what he meant, and had already led a group of people to turn back. When they rushed back, Du Chong's people would not survive.
"Villain!" Hua Fang chuckled in his heart, and gritted his teeth angrily and scolded.
... ...
When Xia Chengcan set off from the Pinan outpost, there were more than 4,500 white-clothed soldiers around him, but at this time there were only four left
More than one thousand.
After leaving the White Crane Temple, these more than 4,100 people went straight to Chengguan.
Ma Dushan led the crowd to fight outside the city with the white-clothed army's Xu Hanshan outside the city gate for a night, and finally was defeated, leading only more than 3,000 people all the way to escape.
Although these men were lucky enough to leave the battlefield alive, they were all tired and wounded, and they all took refuge in the town after walking sixty or seventy miles. Ma Dushan expected that Xia Chengxuan would never take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, so he rested there for two days.
However, by the time the third day of the march began, more than half of the generals had fled, leaving less than 1,600 men behind. In his opinion, too many people on the way to escape may not be a good thing: "They are all brothers who have been with me for many years, and I can't give them wealth and nobility, so I just run away." I have no place to stand in the court, so I have to find a remote place to fall into the grass. ”
So, he led people to loot several wealthy families in the town, robbed the money and some food, and continued to flee south.
Ma Dushan didn't expect that when he fled to the outskirts of the city, he actually ran into Xia Chengcan's people. The two teams met on the not wide post road, and they inevitably fought.
The combat strength of the white-clothed army is far superior to that of the ordinary garrison army, not to mention that Xia Chengcan's department is the most elite of the white-clothed army. And Ma Dushan's people had just gone through a battle to the death, not only did they not recover their vitality but they were also wounded, and they were killed in less than an hour.
Xia Chengcan was worried about his mother's safety, so he hurried towards Baiheguan, but he didn't expect to be preempted by the Jaw Palace.
"Shizi, there is a team of men and horses in front. The spies drove their horses to station in front of Xia Chengcan, and reported with their hands, "The subordinates saw from a distance that it was a team of unicorns, protected by eight or nine hundred people. ”
"Qilin Rim?" Xia Chengcan's expression was shocked, and he asked, "Can you see the real thing?"
The spy Zheng Sheng replied: "Hui Shizi, it is indeed a four-by-one unicorn. But there was something strange about the group, most of them were dressed in black, and fifty or sixty of them were around the chariot at the front. ”
"Qilin Mansion...," Xia Chengcan lowered his head and pondered, "Is it Duanwang's Mansion, Yiwang's Mansion, or Jaw's Palace? Yun Wangfu?
He thought about it and still couldn't figure it out, which palace would go out of the city at this time?
"No matter which palace it is, you must always stop and ask. Xia Chengcan shook his head and said coldly, "If it's someone from King Yun's Mansion, then it's great!"
