Chapter 14: The Trap (2)
The man who got up from the moat was none other than the errand man named Zhu Xiaonian.
Before he was ordered to kill the two messengers, he didn't expect to be noticed by the other party, although the last two were still killed by him, but he himself was seriously injured and fell into the river, if he hadn't happened to be hung by the willow tree by the river, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to float to a long time.
When he returned to the city at this moment, he was about to look for Qu Junshan, who had already made an appointment with him to meet at the Liuying River, but he didn't expect him to meet Tang Qianzhi, the third young master of the Tang family. When he first arrived in Luoyang, he was almost killed because he offended people because of his youth, but it happened that Tang Sangongzi passed by and saved his life. Although Tang Qianzhi didn't remember it for a long time, Zhu Xiaonian firmly remembered this life-saving grace. It's a pity that the case committed by the Tang family is too big, he has no way or courage to save it, and he has always felt very guilty in his heart. Now that he actually saw that his former life-saving benefactor was still in the world, how could he not be surprised, and naturally he was full of hatred for Pu Dan, who ordered him to shoot him.
However, when he turned his gaze and caught a glimpse of the same murderous forbidden army beside Pu Dan, the murderous aura in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he calmed down from the initial impulse. He is no longer the stunned young man he was back then, and he will no longer sacrifice in vain because of a momentary impulse. He knew very well in his heart that with his skills, even when he was not injured, he was no match for this deputy commander, not to mention that the other party still had so many forbidden troops around him now.
His eyes flickered, and his thoughts began to fly: since he couldn't force it, he had to outwit it.
At this moment, someone in the forbidden army recognized You Tongshan, who was entangled with Tang Qianzhi, and in order not to hurt the younger brother of the great commander, Pu Dan stopped the attack on the arrow rain over there, and only ordered to block the support of those painting boats around him.
In this way, a strange scene is formed, on both sides of the river bank and in those distant painting boats, countless pairs of eyes are staring intently at the increasingly fierce fighting in the center of the river, with a look of excitement or worry on their faces, and a conversation or two from time to time, as if watching a vaudeville show at a temple fair during the Lantern Festival.
Zhu Xiaonian glanced sharply at the window of the painting boat and saw a lively head poking out, and suddenly noticed it in his heart.
Pu Dan, who was paying close attention to the fight on the river, suddenly heard his henchman Wang Yao say, "My lord, someone wants to see you?"
"No!" Pu Dan waved his hand impatiently.
Who knew that Wang Yao not only did not retreat, but approached him and whispered: "That person said there was a secret report!"
"Secret report?" Pu Dan turned his head suspiciously, followed the other party's gaze to the man who was standing bent in the distance, and frowned, "Who is it?"
Wang Yao hurriedly said: "The errand of the yamen." ”
Pu Dan suddenly lost interest, waved his hand and said disdainfully: "What kind of secret report can a small errand officer have, drive him away!"
Wang Yao glanced left and right, and suddenly stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.
Pu Dan's expression froze, and he frowned: "Really?"
"Most of the time it can't be faked, but the adults will call him over and ask. Wang Yao smiled mysteriously, and turned his gaze to Zhu Xiaonian, who had just looked up.
Pu Dan looked at the two people who were still fighting on the river, and it seemed that he couldn't tell the winner for a while, so he retreated and said, "Let him come over." ”
"Yes!" Wang Yao hurriedly walked over and said, "The deputy commander will let you go." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and admonished, "Commander Pu doesn't like to babble, remember to say something straightforward." ”
Zhu Xiaonian nodded gratefully and said, "I know, thank you Brother Wang for mentioning it." Then he bowed down and walked to Pu Dan, knelt on the ground with a puff and said, "I wish Xiaonian to see Commander Pu." ”
Pu Dan glanced at him, and said straight in: "You said that the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion want to kill you?"
"Yes!" Zhu Xiaonian straightened up, and said with a look of grief and indignation on his face, "If you want a lot of blessing, I'm afraid I can't stand in front of adults at this moment, but it's a pity that Brother Liu and they ......" Speaking of this, his tone was a little choked, obviously extremely sad about his brother's death.
Pu Dan said, "Why did you want to kill you?"
"Because I have evidence that they colluded with the Wuhuan envoys to kill He Bi, the treasurer of 'Qibao Zhai'. Zhu Xiaonian said with a sad and indignant face.
Pu Dan was about to speak, when his ears suddenly moved slightly, and then his face changed and he shouted: "Presumptuous! You are a small errand servant, and you dare to frame the prime minister of the dynasty, do you know that you have committed a capital crime? If you are seriously investigated, it will not be too much to copy your whole house." I still have a sense of justice in you, and this commander spares your life. Let's go!"
Zhu Xiaonian was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why the other party's attitude suddenly changed, and he still defended himself: "I didn't frame it, I have evidence ......."
"Shut up!" Pu Dan was furious and shouted, "Stubborn, come on, drag him down, and wait for the Great Commander to fall!"
"Yes!" Immediately a soldier rushed up.
Zhu Xiaonian let those soldiers tie his hands and feet, and said angrily: "Although He Bi is just a businessman, he is also a citizen of our Great Qin. Now that the people of Great Qin are being killed in the street at the feet of the Son of Heaven, your lord is the commander of the forbidden army guarding the imperial city, and instead of arresting the culprit, he wants to punish me, a person who enforces the law, what is the reason?"
Wang Yao, who was not far away, saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly walked over, and was about to speak when he saw Pu Dan glaring at him, so he had to keep silent, watching Zhu Xiaonian being taken down.
"Bang-"
Almost at the same time that Zhu Xiaonian was dragged down, a loud noise suddenly came from the Liuying River, and then you heard You Tongshan wawa shouting: "Your grandma, who threw the heavenly thunder bomb." ”
It turned out that when the fight between the two was coming to an end, seeing that there was a moment before You Tongshan was about to capture Tang Qianzhi alive, he didn't expect a heavenly thunderbolt to fall from the sky and just fall on the painting boat where he was standing. If he hadn't recognized the sparkling iron lump at a glance, he quickly kicked into the Liuying River, and then hid on a painting boat in the distance in a few jumps, and he would have become a pile of minced meat at this moment.
You Tongshan, who had brushed shoulders with death, became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and suddenly turned his head and shouted at the group of people on the shore who had not yet returned to their senses: "What are you doing to eat? Why don't you hurry up and chase after it?"
Pu Dan, who was commanding his subordinates to outflank him, suddenly sank, although the other party was the younger brother of the Great Commander, and he had intended to protect him before, it didn't mean that he would grovel to him. Anyway, he is also the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and he is usually a figure who is held by others, but now a gentleman who only knows how to look for flowers and ask willows actually scolds him as a slave, of course Commander Pu will not give the other party a good face, and said indifferently at the moment: "I don't know how many products you Gongzi's official residence is? When did you become Pu's top boss?"
You Tongshan was speechless for a moment, and said angrily: "That's the remnants of the Tang family, if he escapes, I don't believe you can get a good deal." ”
Wang Yao also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Commander, it is important to catch the remnants of the Tang family. ”
"Doesn't this commander still want you to teach?" Pu Dan glared at him, didn't care about arguing with You Tongshan, and said loudly, "Everyone listens to the order, and there will be a reward for catching the thief!"
"Yes!" rumbling echoes came from both sides of the river.
It's just that at this time, on the Liuying River, in addition to the wreckage of the painting boat, there are still anti-thieves.
The worst thing is that those painting boats that really attract customers to do business, because they are greedy to see the excitement, they don't go far, and many of them are affected by the aftermath of the thunder bomb. The splash of sparks fell on the shiny wooden planks painted by the paulownia, and then the wind 'poofed' and burst into flames. Many of them screamed and fell into the river, and many of them stood on the painting boat and screamed holding the wooden pole that had not burned.
There was chaos on the entire River.
At this time, a burst of laughter came from afar: "Qin Shuangyue, you still haven't grown up all these years. I was so disappointed. ”
"Qin Gongzi is also here?" Pu Dan, who was a little anxious when he heard the pursuit, was shocked when he heard the sound, and suddenly remembered what the messenger named Zhu Xiaonian said before, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Qin Fengyang was really doing something unseemly?
Sure enough, a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes came out of an untouched painting workshop, and it was not Qin Shuangyue. He looked somewhere in the darkness and said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, why do you want to spoil me for a good thing?"
I heard the man laugh and said, "No way, who called me a man with a strange temper, and when I saw those hypocrites, I couldn't help but want to embarrass him." ”
Qin Shuangyue blushed and said coldly, "It seems that you forgot your original promise." ”
The man smiled and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, otherwise the Heavenly Thunder Bomb would not have been thrown to that waste, but to you." I'm good to you, go, don't try to get me, because you can't catch me. Haha!"
Amid the laughter, the man who had not been seen left until now.
Qin Shuangyue stood at the bow of the boat and was silent for a long time, then suddenly glanced back at Pu Dan, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and said, "Let's go!" The painting boat suddenly flew forward like an arrow, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Leaving Pu Dan who was confused on the shore, and You Tongshan who jumped like thunder.
