Chapter 28: The convoy is attacked

"My lord, the weather is hot, are you thirsty, can you drink some sour plum juice?" A subordinate lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage that was slowly moving forward, walked a few steps in front of Zuo Tianzong, and handed over a bag of water bladders with a look of disdain.

Zuo Tianzong frowned, "Oh? There is still such a thing? I didn't expect that in order to take care of Master Fu, the Kochi Mansion not only built a comfortable car, but also prepared this thing to relieve the heat, which is really rare." He took the water bladder, uncorked it, and took several sips in one go. As soon as the sour plum juice was entered, a cold breath went straight to the viscera, Zuo Tianzong was surprised, "It's so luxurious! There is ice in it! What a sweet sour plum juice, there are black plums, hawthorns, osmanthus, tangerine peel, hay, and with refreshing ice ballast, it is simply a good product to cool off!"

Zuo Tianzong drank a few more sips, and was reluctant to hand the water bladder back to his subordinates, "This ice must have been prepared by the Kochi Mansion, don't waste it if it's not in quantity." You can take it and give everyone a drink, I'm afraid that I won't be able to drink this good thing for more than ten days. ”

The subordinate smiled and didn't take over, but instead stretched out his head and whispered, "Don't worry, my lord, the taciturn young man who came in arranged by the Kochi Mansion will have a magic technique to freeze the water, and there will be no shortage of ice along the way, don't worry." Also, the bearded man seems to be Lord Fu's old subordinate, Lord Fu was very surprised to see him this morning, the villain inquired, this person used to be a person in the officialdom, and once sat in the position of chief catcher, and Lord Fu had the grace to promote him. Your Excellency, do you think these two people will rob the prison on the road?"

Zuo Tianzong heard the report from his subordinates, his eyes narrowed, "These two people are recommended by the Kochi Mansion, and now the imperial court is in decline, and there are many talented people in the rivers and lakes." Since the Kochifu dares to recommend these two people to me, there must be no problem, otherwise he Gao Hong will not be able to escape the blame. As for that bearded man, since he is Lord Fu's former subordinate, Master Fu will do his best to ensure his safety along the way, so you don't have to be too vigilant, so as not to cause a gap between the two sides. Go and bring water to your brothers. ”

When the subordinate heard the boss speak, he said, "The subordinate receives the order!" turned around and returned to the carriage, and after a while, he took out seven or eight bulging water bladders from the carriage, and quickly ran forward, throwing out the water bladders, "Brothers, four people drink a pot to cool off the heat." ”

"We've got it right away, what are you doing with the water?" someone asked, taking the water bladder.

"It must be better than your own!" the voice faded.

Fu Tianqiu was sitting in the carriage, his feet were still trapped by the left and right chains, but his hands were let go, his hair was well groomed, and he was reading a book with him. The four walls of the carriage were lifted up, revealing carved windows, and the sunlight was shining in, and the carriage was like a walking pavilion at this moment.

There were ice buckets in the four corners of the carriage, and there was a desk by the window, with melons and fruits and snacks, and a thick cushion on the ground, but Fu Tianqiu's heart was not calm at this moment.

He is waiting to be beheaded, this time, there are many enemies in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, and I can't imagine that Gao Hong treats himself so well. If he can meet the Son of Heaven face to face, he will tell the interests and tell the people's feelings, even if he dies for it, he will not hesitate. It's just that I don't know where my two daughters, Qingfeng and Yuechi are, hope to escape the pursuit of the imperial court and save their lives in the world.

"My lord, please don't be sad, things will always turn around. A voice came quietly, and Fu Tianqiu looked up and saw that it was his old subordinate~ Yan Chixia.

"Chixia, I can't imagine that after a few years, you can still come to see me thousands of miles away, I am really gratified. When I set out this morning, I was surprised to see you, and I almost thought I was dazzled. Fu Tianqiu said.

Yan Chixia said, "My lord, you have been wronged. When he saw his ragged and stained old boss on the street before, he almost couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out of prison to rob him, but he was persuaded by Lu Xihua in time. Fortunately, Lu Xihua had a way, took the path of the Kochi Mansion, and arranged the carriage and himself into the escort team, so that he could take care of the boss.

Fu Tianqiu shook his head, "Where is it, the people of this world are wronged." Those corrupt officials deceived the superiors and subordinates, the Son of Heaven did not know the people's feelings, and the people did not understand the Son of Heaven, so that the world was rampant and robbers were rampant. Chixia, I heard that you are not in the officialdom either?"

Yan Chixia said, "After the adults were transferred, they made it difficult for me everywhere, refused to give me permission, and forced me to solve the case, so I left the yamen in a fit of anger. ”

Fu Tianqiu sighed and said, "In the end, it's me who has caused you a burden. I wonder where you make a living now?"

Yan Chixia said, "After leaving the Yamen, I had some adventures, learned some Daomen spells, lived in the wilderness, and slay demons for fun. ”

Fu Tianqiu was extremely surprised when he heard this, "Could it be that there are really demons in this world?!"

Yan Chixia said, "There is no righteousness in heaven and earth, and evil is rampant, so naturally there are demons to bring disaster to the world." Look, my companion, he is a profound monk of the Dharma. After speaking, he also pointed to Lu Xihua who was riding a horse in front of him.

Fu Tianqiu looked along Yan Chixia's fingers, and saw a young man in his early twenties with black hair and a belt, cloth clothes, and an inconspicuous young man sitting on a horse, looking back, smiling, showing a mouthful of white teeth, he really couldn't see anything powerful. I couldn't help but be surprised, "He's very powerful, is he even more powerful than you?"

Yan Chixia was a little embarrassed, "Yes, it's a little better than me." My lord will escort you all the way, so you don't have to worry about your safety. ”

Fu Tianqiu retracted his gaze, sighed again, and said, "I just hope that I can meet the Son of Heaven alive." ”

The prisoner has a carriage to ride, and no longer needs to be pushed forward as before, naturally the foot is much faster, and the environment along the way under Gao Hong's rule is clear, and the two-day rush catches up with the trip that was delayed in the state city two days ago, and everyone is very happy. The Kochi Mansion prepared a meat patty, the young man surnamed Lu also has good cooking skills, there are countless birds and animals in the mountains, and there are delicious barbecues and mushroom soups to drink every night, which is really much better than the previous bumpy trip, and everyone is very satisfied.

One morning, when the weather was cool, everyone took advantage of the cool weather to hurry away, so as not to be exposed to the sun at noon, and the heat would be unbearable. When the carriage and horses came to a rock, the six horses that were leading the way suddenly neighed, and the soldiers fell to the ground.

"All on alert! Don't move, protect Master Fu!" Zuo Tianzong saw that there was a change in front of him, and immediately notified his subordinates to be on guard, and he came to investigate. I saw the horses that were opening the road in front of me standing motionless in the air, and my subordinates suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while. A small hole appeared in the ground in front of him, and a figure poked out of the hole, and said, "Hurry like a law, decide!" Suddenly, the horse under his crotch was like a change of wood, and he didn't move for a moment, and threw his body out with a strong force.

Zuo Tianzong took advantage of the throwing momentum, jumped in the air, and slashed at the figure in the hollow of the ground with a long-handled war knife in his hand. Unexpectedly, that figure was extremely cunning, and seeing Zuo Tian's fierceness, he shouted softly, "Escape!" Suddenly the figure turned into a black light and dived into the earth cave and disappeared. A small mound of earth rose slightly from the ground and fled into the distance, apparently hiding the vanished figure.

Zuo Tianzong couldn't let go, chased a few steps in a hurry, transported his whole body of battle qi, and held the war knife with both hands and slammed it into the small mound that escaped, just above the small mound. The small mound shrank downward, the soil exploded, and there was no human figure, Zuo Tianzong was surprised, and heard another explosion behind him, and a figure broke out of the ground from two meters behind him, holding his big sword high in both hands, slashing down in the air, and sneak attacked.

Zuo Tianzong didn't have time to turn around, pulled out the war knife inserted in the ground, bent his knees and turned his waist, swept his back with a knife, and turned around. The figure was in the air, raised his sword and slashed down, the swords collided, and with a loud noise, the figure took advantage of the momentum to cross the mountain rock in the distance, as if he wanted to escape by the momentum of the mountain rock.

Zuo Tianzong frowned, stood sideways with the knife in his left hand, untied the python gold silk whip on his waist with his right hand, and whipped it towards the figure who jumped far away. The figure was also very good, eagerly, the left foot to the right foot a little bit, quickly pulled three feet high, flew on the rock wall, the left Tianzhong python whip was empty, hit the rock, and the stones flew all over the place.

The man shouted, "It's amazing!" Zuo Tianzong raised his eyebrows, slammed the long-handled war knife to the ground with his left hand, reached behind his shoulders with both hands, held the five-handled long-bladed katana on his shoulder, and threw it at the figure climbing on the rock wall as a hidden weapon. The long blade came out of the shoulder, like light and lightning, and struck at the figure one after another. The figure was in a hurry, and could only roll on the rock wall, and the five long knives followed the traces of the figure rolling, narrowly brushing the figure and not entering the stone.

The figure was forced to stay on the rock wall any longer, so he had to jump back into the path.

Zuo Tian lost the long blade, and with a shake of his right hand, the python whip circled the whip flower in his hand, and wound the handles of the five long blades that were pierced on the rock wall in turn. Zuo Tianlong's right hand pulled back the python whip vigorously, and the five long blades broke away from the rock one after another under this huge force, followed the python whip trajectory, and returned to Zuo Tianzong's shoulder latch.

The figure who escaped saw Zuo Tianzong busy recovering his weapon, and hurriedly cast a spell, "Escape!" quickly dived into the ground and fled into the distance, Zuo Tianzong just withdrew the long blade, and saw that the figure was about to escape, and the python whip was still wrapped around the handle of the long blade without being removed, so he pulled out a few darts from his thighs. This dart is called the Flame Dart, which has the effect of exploding when it hits the target, and it is a secret weapon, and Zuo Tianzong does not want to use it. At this moment, the enemy was so strong that he had to use his dart to shoot at the fleeing mound.

"Boom, boom~" There were a few loud bangs, and the flame dart hit the mound and exploded, and the figure suddenly came out of the mound, looking like a gray face, obviously hit by the flame dart.

Zuo Tianzong saw the figure jump out of the ground, pulled out the long-handled war knife that had just been inserted into the ground, and slashed at the figure quickly.

The figure flashed left and right, so not embarrassed, the big sword in his hand barely resisted Zuo Tianzong's attack, and shouted, "Stop, stop!"

Zuo Tianzong was on fire, ignored him, the offensive did not weaken, the man was forced to be unable to do anything, a heel bucket jumped back more than ten meters, away from Zuo Tianzong, stuck the big sword on the ground, spit out a mouthful of dirt, and said, "Stop, stop, stop, tell you to stop, you still don't stop?! You and I don't know each other, why do you fight for a long time?"

Zuo Tianzong hurriedly walked a few steps before he could see the figure clearly.
