Chapter 186: Attacked in the middle of the night
According to Yu Huang, the reputation of the Pu family is famous, and the head of the family, Pu Yan, is upright, upright, and admired. And the second brother Pu Han, although his martial arts are stronger, he is vicious and ruthless, and he has a honey mouth and a sword.
Now that Pu Yan has been attacked and killed, if there is no accident, Pu Han will become the next head of the family, and at such a time of stormy meeting, for the Jingjiang Pu family in the south, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
"Let's not think about it so much, everything will naturally fall into place when we arrive at Jingjiang Mansion, what we should do now is to have a good meal, and then sleep well, and we have to hurry tomorrow." Bai Li said.
"It's better not to be negligent, and let everyone be vigilant at night. Yu Zhong reminded.
In the dead of night, Yu Zhong lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something would happen at night. And Bai Lishu, who was in the same room, was just the opposite, he was sleeping soundly at this time, and the snoring sound was shocking.
Yu Zhong pushed open the window, and there was silence outside the window, and he could vaguely hear the sound of the changfu beating in the distance, and a night incense car ran over the street, the wheels creaking.
After a while, the night fragrance car turned into the backyard of the inn, and several shopkeepers helped load a few large barrels into the car, and hurriedly covered their noses and ran away.
The two dart carts of the dart board were also parked in the backyard, and several dart masters on duty immediately stopped chatting when they saw this, and looked at the night car vigilantly.
Soon, the car was filled with large barrels, after all, this is an inn, and there are not a few filths accumulated in a day, and it can't be pulled out in one trip.
After a stick of incense, Ye Xianglang dragged back with a squeaky empty car, and pulled away a cart full of night incense barrels.
The dart masters on duty at night covered their noses and looked a little impatient.
After a while, the night incense car returned, and this was the third trip of the night. The dart masters were already surprised, avoided it, covered their noses and continued to chat.
"A few darts have worked hard, and they still have to be on duty in the middle of the night. When Ye Xianglang passed by the dart car, he didn't forget to nod and say hello to a few dart masters.
The dart masters waved their hands and told him to hurry away. Suddenly, the night incense cart fell to the side, and a pile of toilets full of filth overturned, and these disgusting things suddenly splashed several dart masters.
Seeing that he had caused a big disaster, Ye Xianglang hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake. But at this time, the dart masters could not take care of these things, and hurriedly went to the well to take off their clothes, fetched a few buckets of water and poured them from head to toe, and scolded while rinsing.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xianglang suddenly whistled, and a group of masked men with sharp blades rushed in outside the courtyard, some of them surrounded several naked dart masters, and the other part began to carry the dart cart.
"Robbery!" Yu chuckled in his heart, and the sudden situation was greatly unexpected by him.
He picked up Yan Jun's sword, jumped out, and landed in the courtyard, blocking the path of the group of masked people. But his internal injuries had not healed at this time, and as soon as he was lucky, the pain in his chest was so severe that when he landed, his body shook slightly.
One of the masked men did not seem to panic when he saw Yu Zhong, and he said slowly: "Brother, it seems that you have suffered a lot of internal injuries, so it's better not to be bored." ”
Unexpectedly, he knew that Yu Zhong was seriously injured, and he obviously came prepared, but even so, Yu Zhong didn't intend to let them get it so easily.
The dark red sword light flashed, and Yu Zhong struck first. But these masked men are also good hands, if it is usually not a problem, but today the remaining internal injuries have not healed, and they will not be able to win for a while.
The sound of swords kept staggering in the courtyard, but Bai Liyu slept like a dead pig and didn't hear it at all. On the contrary, Ye Xiaoxiao was awakened.
With the sound of a broken window, Ye Xiaoxiao's sword jumped out and joined the battle array. After a while, all the dart masters were awakened, and they came with a lot of noise.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the masked men, Dahan, shouted, and a group of masked men put down the dart cart, and immediately climbed out of the courtyard and disappeared into the night.
Ye Xiaoxiao planned to continue chasing, but was stopped by Yu Zhong.
"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" Yu Zhong said.
And in his heart, there is a secret plan about the identity of these attackers.
Following.
"What, something so big happened last night, you didn't wake me up. Bai Li Shu was very surprised to hear that the dart car was almost robbed last night.
"Fortunately, there is a little girl who helps, otherwise with me now, I really can't stop them alone. Yu replied.
"You, sleep like a dead pig, if it weren't for Brother Yu's alertness, your dart car would be gone. Ye Xiaoxiao fell.
"It's okay, do you know the identity of the other party?" asked Baili Xuan.
"The other party obviously came prepared, but he didn't want to hurt people's lives when he once had the advantage, but just wanted to hijack the dart car, and the purpose was very clear. And their martial arts are not weak, when the little girl and other dart masters came to help, they did not fall in love, they were very disciplined, and they were not ordinary bandits. Yu Zhong said.
"You mean, which gang might have done it?" Baili touched his chin and frowned, searching his mind for some gangs that might be operating nearby.
"I have some doubts in my heart, but there is no evidence, so it is difficult to guess. Last night, these people advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have a follow-up move, so it is better for us to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Yu Zhong said.
Everyone hurriedly packed their bags and hurriedly escorted the dart cart out of the city.
Looking at the distant back of the dart team, one person sighed slightly.
"Helper, is that just letting them go?" asked the subordinate on the side.
"After all, it's on our own territory, and the movement shouldn't be too big, let the brothers in other branches see the opportunity to act again, even if we can't get this batch of darts in the Red Gang, we can't let others get it. It was Lin Hui who spoke.
The dart team went all the way, and the three of them were huddled in the carriage and still discussing the events of last night.
"Red Gang, do you suspect that the person who attacked last night was from the Red Gang?" Bai Li Xuan shouted in surprise.
"You're quiet, what's all the fuss about. Yu Zhong said.
"Isn't Gang Leader Lin on good terms with you, and he invited us to dinner yesterday, how could it be him?" asked Bai Lixuan.
"Oh, say you're stupid, you're really like a pig, you think about it with your brain, the other party is scheming, it's a night fragrance car, and it's masked, and it's not in love after we find out, obviously because you're afraid of revealing your identity, Brother Yu is here and you're not familiar with life, who else can there be." Ye Xiaoxiao said.
"Moreover, Xinzhou is after all where the Red Gang branch is located, and this time Lin Hui is here in person, what can be hidden from him in this Xinzhou City? If you want to make trouble here and get out of the way, it is impossible to say that without his acquiescence. Yu Zhong added.
"It's good that he didn't poison the wine and food yesterday, otherwise we wouldn't have stared at each other and stretched out our legs, and everything would have been over. Bai Liyu was scared when he thought about it, and hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his head.
"But this is all my speculation, even if Lin Hui did it, judging from his deployment, he doesn't want to tear his face with us on the bright side, so don't worry too much. Yu Zhong smiled.
"What kind of friends are you making, ask me first next time you make friends. Bai Li Yu quipped.
"I think the most unreliable friend Brother Yu has made in his life is you. Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Baili Xiao and said.
"Miss Ye, although you don't look down on me, please don't insult my noble character and a sincere heart for my friends, so I feel very sad. Bai Li Xuan suddenly said with a deliberate face.
"Where did you learn such serious nonsense, I have to let Brother Yu stay away from you, so as not to be spoiled by you. Ye Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, grimaced at Baili Shu, and then grabbed the remaining weight.
"Hey, this is really a drought of drought and a waterlogging. Baili sighed.
Yu Chong's face flushed, and he spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless.
Traveling to Xinzhou, there is still more than half of the distance from Jingjiang Prefecture, although the road has been full of twists and turns, but for Yu Zhong and others, the real difficulties are far from coming.
Jingjiang Mansion is located in the southwest corner of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the city is not large. Even on Quang Nam Left Road, it is a remote place, but its fame even surpasses that of Yongzhou Mansion, the seat of governance on Quang Nam Left Road.
This is all because there is a powerful southwest family here, the Pu family.
When it comes to the origin of the Pu family, it even dates back hundreds of years, far back to the beginning of the founding of the previous dynasty. At that time, on the southwest border, ethnic minorities were in turmoil and repeated requisitions.
The Pu family has lived here for generations and knows a lot about the relationship between ethnic minorities. So the ancestor of the Pu family recommended himself out of the mountain, he took advantage of the contradictions between ethnic minorities, implemented the combination of suppression and appeasement, and quickly put down the rebellion in the southwest, and there was no rebellion for decades.
The emperor of the previous dynasty was supposed to be crowned a prince, but who knew that the ancestors of the Pu family were obsessed with martial arts, indulged in landscapes, and had no interest in officialdom. So the emperor assigned a large number of skilled craftsmen to build a mansion comparable to the palace for the Pu family between the mountains and rivers as a reward.
Since then, the Pu family has played a very important role as a bridge between the imperial court and the people on the southwest border. Under the continuous grace of the emperors of later generations, a city was slowly built around the mansion of the Pu family, which was named Jingjiang Mansion.
Later, the Southern Han Dynasty also adopted a tolerant attitude towards the Pu family, and also relied on the Pu family on the border issue.
After hundreds of years, the Pu family has become a thriving family from the idlers of the mountains and wilderness in the past, and there are thousands of direct descendants alone, and if you count the side branches, I am afraid there are tens of thousands of people.
Even the people of the Pu family walked on the street, and they came over to greet each other, and found that the other party was a distant relative to themselves.
However, due to the existence of the Pu family, there has never been a rebellion in the southwest region, whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty.
The climate here is pleasant, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the life is peaceful, just like a paradise. Therefore, the people here may not know who the Son of Heaven is, but they must know who the head of the Pu family is.
