Chapter 35: The Wei Family in Tongzhou
Everyone walks on a small road, even if they encounter an official road, they will take a detour, because the people of the court are chasing and killing the masters of the rivers and lakes everywhere, so everyone is afraid that this trip will not be smooth sailing, and the official road is too eye-catching after all.
Along the way, Ning Zhentian led everyone into an inn with only prayer flags but no name, and the inn was opened on this desolate path, and there were basically no guests.
The tables and chairs in the inn are also very old, as if they have been used for many years, but they are better than clean, and there is only one old man in the inn who is more than half a hundred years old, and his body is lying on his back, as if he is going to enter the earth at any time.
His cloudy eyes, when he saw everyone, were shining!
"Master, do you want to rest for the night or have a light meal and leave immediately?"
Everyone looked at Ning Zhentian with some surprise, but they didn't expect that this remote inn was also Ning Zhentian's power.
"Have a light meal, take care of the horses, pay attention to the carrier pigeons, and report the situation as soon as possible!"
Ning Zhentian instructed the old man, and then motioned for everyone to sit down and rest.
Wang Gong looked at Ning Zhentian's layout and command, but he didn't dare to speak out, this trip to the rivers and lakes was really not as simple as he imagined.
I originally thought that two legs would be so big in the world, but now it seems that I don't take it for granted.
There is still a lot of learning that I need to learn, and although I can't be presumptuous, I can't look at it alone.
But what is this carrier pigeon that Ning Zhentian is talking about, is there really such an existence as a flying pigeon passing a book? Wang Gong was concerned about Ning Zhentian's casual remark, and wanted to see the strange story of this flying pigeon passing a book.
At the same time, in the west of Huai'an City, a team of more than 100 people is moving forward in an orderly manner, with the banner of the Ning family waving, this is the team that Ning Zhentian used to trick his eyes!
The one at the head, the person who pretended to be Ning Zhentian, saw that the time was almost up, and released a carrier pigeon, and this team was safe, indicating that it was not targeted.
"Whew!"
Just as the pigeon was about to fly high, a hidden arrow came from behind, and it only took one arrow to shoot the pigeon on the spot!
"There is an ambush!
The person pretending to be Ning Zhentian was instantly shocked!
Five consecutive release of carrier pigeons is for safety, if there is an abnormality, the second plan will be adopted!
"Whew!"
Another arrow, the person who pretended to be Ning Zhentian died violently on the spot!
However, his order was carried out, and everyone carried out the second plan!
In the team, there are a lot of boxes, and the boxes are quite heavy, but at this moment, they are opened at the same time in an instant!
All of a sudden, hundreds of carrier pigeons soared into the sky!
"Ning Zhentian, old man, is really calculating!"
On the top of the mountain, there was a woman with clear eyebrows, dressed in a purple python robe and brocade robe, looking at the carrier pigeons flying in the sky, her face was gloomy and terrifying, how did she not know that it was Ning Zhentian's plan to secretly cultivate the plank road of Ning Zhentian.
The woman's syllables were soft, but a strange voice came out, the voice sounded a little sharp, and it was fine, but it was a little hoarse and low.
"Yes!"
"Woohoo!"
Dense arrows fired at the hundred-man team! For a while, the Ning family's convoy suffered heavy casualties!
The crossbows of the imperial court are different from the bows and arrows that circulate on the rivers and lakes, they are all heavy crossbows, which can penetrate armor and have great lethality!
"Kill!"
Behind the woman in the python robe, there is a knight in brocade riding a horse to kill!
Everywhere I passed, there was no one alive!
On Ning Zhentian's side, everyone who was repairing looked sideways at the old man's panicked footsteps, only to see the old man of the inn rushing over with a panicked expression, and said with a little shortness of breath: "Master, it's not good!
Ning Zhentian was shocked when he heard this, there were carrier pigeons flying back, I am afraid that there will be disaster!
"Presumably, the people of the imperial court have already targeted us! Pack up and set off immediately!"
Wang Gong naturally saw the scene of a hundred pigeons flying together, obviously, this is Ning Zhentianbu's bureau, if this is not arranged, they will be the ones who suffer now!
Wang Gong's back gave birth to a chill, and it was only now that Wang Gong realized that the rivers and lakes that Wang Hanli said were sinister, and this time he went north to Beijing, and the road was long and obstructive.
"Let's go!"
Ning Zhentian saw that he was almost cleaned up, and immediately issued an order, since there was an accident over there, then this side would soon be found out, and there was not much time left for everyone, so he must go to Tongzhou City as soon as possible to join the people and horses of Tongzhou.
If they are scattered, they will be broken one by one!
Along the way, everyone didn't even stop once, they were all fast horses, this is not playing at home, slow life will be gone, so everyone even drinks saliva on horseback.
Wang Gong's equestrian skills naturally can't catch up with these old rivers and lakes, and he eats a butt of ash behind him, and Ning Wu is no better, his face is dusty, like a clay figure.
When approaching Tongzhou City, everyone's speed slowed down, and the two looked at each other, both showing their big white teeth.
In these years, the neat teeth are considered to be few, all of them are brocade clothes and jade food, since childhood, they have been cleaning their teeth with salt, ordinary people are reluctant to even eat, and naturally they will not use precious refined salt to clean their teeth, so those who can grow a mouthful of big white teeth are all from a wealthy family.
"The front is Tongzhou City, let's go to meet the Wei family's men and horses first, and then go to the Tianshan faction together!"
Ning Zhentian looked at the gate of Tongzhou City, and was relieved, arriving in Tongzhou City means that the strength of the Wei family can be gathered, which is also a little more resistance, the contemporary head of the Wei family is also a master in the late stage of the day after tomorrow, and the two of them are not afraid of the pursuit of the imperial court!
Ten miles of Tongzhou and eight miles of wine shops, it is this Tongzhou City.
Tongzhou City is the origin of wine, you can see wine shops everywhere, and you can smell the aroma of wine in the air before you enter the city.
"Brother Huarong, there are a lot of heroes in this Tongzhou City, I also know the boy of the Wei family, I will introduce you later, everything depends on my eyes, wait a minute, I will slaughter him well!"
Ning Wu wiped a handful on his face, ate a stomach of ashes on the road, and it was the time for Wohu'er in his heart, and when he arrived in Tongzhou City, he had to rub it well!
"Everything is arranged by Brother Ning Wu!"
Although Wang Gong also grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, he has very little knowledge of these things of eating, drinking and having fun, mainly because the family education is too strict, if he dares to play these, I am afraid that his legs will be discounted when he goes home.
But now that he has traveled the rivers and lakes, it is a good thing to experience it, otherwise he still doesn't know anything after he goes back, wouldn't he have gone in vain?
If you don't have a good time in this Tongzhou city, where is it worthy of the soil eaten on the road.
As soon as they entered Tongzhou City, everyone went directly through the back door of the Wei family, Ning Zhentian didn't know where he went, but Ning Wu didn't know where to find a set of white shirts and put them on Wang Gong.
Ning Wu knew that Wang Gong liked white shirts, so he also found a white shirt, and Wang Gong wore it on his body, which just fit.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is the son of the Wei family, Wei Zhuang! This is the son of the Hua family, Hua Rong!"
Wang Gong's eyelids twitched for a while, this Ning Wu is really an actor! In just a while, he will become the son of a flower family.
After some politeness, Wei Zhuang said that the two came from afar to make a friendship with the landlord.
I don't know if it's Wang Gong's illusion, I always feel that this Wei Zhuang is a little hypocritical, since opening the eyes of heaven, Wang Gong's intuition is unusually keen, but at this time he is not good at other actions, just secretly pay attention.
