MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 40
Hundreds of soldiers from the Cheng family were divided into two halves, half surrounded the vehicles of Shaoshang Sang and others, and the other half held their swords forward, preparing for the battle. However, after a short while, the two sides faced each other, and when he saw this group of people's hideous faces and bloodthirsty expressions, Shao Shang couldn't help but feel timid. Especially when the thieves saw that there were a lot of luggage here, and the maids were young and beautiful for many years, they were even more evil and greedy. Mrs. Sang covered Cheng Mi's eyes and returned to the car. Most of the maids were full of fear. Shrinked into a ball and cried lowly.
After the initial shock and disgust at the bad image of these gangsters passed, Shao Shang finally drove out from the back of the car, pulling out the dagger that Cheng Song gave, and laying it across his chest. Silently counting the number of enemies and us, she felt that her bravery should only need to stay at the level of showing off.
Who knows that this group of thieves is very fierce, seeing the disparity in the number of people, they still wave their knives, apparently convinced that the domestic soldiers are not very powerful. It is a pity that they are not facing ordinary soldiers. Before leaving, Dad deliberately bought half of the guards who had followed him for many years into the team. The courage and courage that came out of the sea of blood from the mountain of swords, the same number of battles, fighting thieves and bandits is like a moth.
Wait until all the killings are done' and so on.
The vest could not help but sweat. After so many years of turmoil, he is quite experienced in the behavior of gangsters.
Encountered this incident, everyone no longer delayed, and hurried to Li Taigong Township, who knew that the accident was not a one-way street, because the car was in a hurry, Sang's car hit a stone that was not in the mound on the way The pit, the axle of the revolver was broken, the side of the carriage overturned, and all the women in the car were crushed inside.
When the man was pulled out of the damaged car, he realized that Sang's left leg was not lightly injured. Shao Shang almost clenched his teeth, and hurriedly asked someone to push down all the luggage boxes in an security car, let Sang Shi and other women enter, and left dozens of unimportant luggage cars, light car Jian Xing continued on the road .
Li Taigong couldn't help but applaud when she saw that she made a decisive decision at a young age.
Shaoshang saw that there was still a long way to go from this place to the countryside under the jurisdiction of Li Taigong, and it was obvious that she would not be able to make it in a moment. She looked at the road to the west again, thinking that she was not unable to escape.
Riding alone through the forest, the thieves are busy looting the convoy, and they must not care about themselves. She knew the route by heart, and as long as she escaped to Chenliu County, it would be safe. At that time, she falsely claimed that the convoy was broken up and she was driven here.
But—Sang Shi, who was bleeding and pale, appeared in front of Shao Shang’s eyes, along with Dili and the twins, she shook her head.
Looking at the mountains on both sides of the road, she looked familiar, she quickly grabbed Taigong Li who was driving with her and asked: "I remember on the way here, Taigong said that there are many vacant hunting houses here. Dare to ask Taigong, here is the place. But which hunting house is backed by the mountains, and there is upstream water nearby?"
She has never read military theory, but at least she knows the idiom 'to be attacked by the enemy'. If there are more enemies coming than one's own guards, and there are many female relatives in the convoy, and if you are like Shicai in the plains and fields to defend against the enemy, sooner or later, you will be defeated, then it will be a dead end. It is better to rely on the terrain to delay, anyway, with enough food and medicine, and water, it is not a problem to carry it for a few days, maybe it will be able to survive the gang of thieves who go out to commit crimes at random.
Besides, it will take two or three days as fast as possible, and five or six days if it is too slow. No matter Huaxian or Chenliu, there will be reinforcements. But what if there is no such hunting house? That can only be fought against the backwater, resigned to fate.
Li Taigong knew his hometown like the back of his hand. He led the convoy to the depths of the mountain forest, turned left and right, and found a wonderful shelter. It was built against a concave cliff overgrown with moss, with a stream flowing down from the mountain on the rock wall beside the house. The owner of the house ran away many years ago, and Taigong Li felt that the place was dangerous, so he renovated five or six large houses for future hunting.
Several masters surveyed the terrain and said that the place was very good. After speaking, they skillfully cut down many large trees with thick bowls from the forest, and tied them into a fence to prevent horses. After being busy for nearly an hour, the group of thieves finally found it through the dense forest.
There is no tacit understanding, no unity of orders, and insufficient military equipment. After the first wave of dense arrow rain, there are only sparse cold arrows.
The leading bandit shouted, as usual, "Brothers, get me, and the girl's money is yours." It was dark and bright, neither breaking the horse, nor driving away the bandits.
When they were at their leisure, both sides were tired and hungry, staring at each other to eat, thinking about how to break through/defend each other.
At the most thrilling time, dozens of gangsters relied on high-headed horses and rushed to the hunting house at night, trying to break the defense line in one fell swoop. Fortunately, the experienced guards arranged several tripping ropes in front of the house in advance, dragged the horses when they came up, and then swarmed the thieves who fell off their horses. Even so, there were still a dozen or so scoundrels with good equestrian skills who jumped out of the straitjacket, and before they quickly escaped back, they leaned over and grabbed seven or eight escaping maidservants, pressing them behind the horses and taking them away.
Shao Shang thought that the other party would take these maids as hostages and force them to surrender. Who knew that she had been fighting for a long time, but the bandits did not. She immediately understood: in this era, how could there be a master who would go out for the sake of "merely" seven or eight slaves. Even bandits understand this "universal value", so they don't make such a "stupid" request at all.
Standing behind the human wall composed of guards, Shaoshang felt bitter in his heart, and wondered if he should be grateful for his reincarnation skills.
flute.
At that time, there was also a thief who rushed towards her and stretched out her hand to catch her, but the two maids who were guarding her beside her were all good hands, and immediately stepped forward. One swiped several swords, Qigen cut off the palm that the thief stretched out, and the other rolled on the spot, slashing the horse's legs with a series of double knives. The horse was in pain, and the thief was thrown off the horse, and was immediately chopped into meat sauce by the guards.
"The thieves bully and bully them, so they won't kill them?" Shao Shang tried to stand up straight. At this time, the concept of chastity is not so strong, and the girls only need to survive.
The two maids looked at each other, and one of them said, "Don't think about it, young lady. Only by surviving can you take revenge."
Shaoshang's heart froze, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled violently.
These two powerful maids were sent by Mrs. Xiao to be by her side - so, has Director Xiao ever encountered such a sinister and **** situation, and struggled to escape? Watching the people around you die?
"Curly, come back soon! What are you doing standing in front of that, be careful that the stray arrows are hurt!" Sang Shi was supported by Ah Li, and stood in front of the big house with difficulty and shouted anxiously.
Shaoshang trotted over, only to find that Sang Shi's left calf was bleeding again, she frowned, "Auntie, go in and lie down." After speaking, she and Ah Li were alone, and Sang Shi hardened Helped in.
There was a fire in the middle of the house, Li Taigong was sitting by the fire, and the maid took care of the stab wounds on the arm. Cheng Wei and the twins have been taken to other places for placement. The young businessman put Sang on the simple bed and lay flat on the side, and asked the maid to re-bandage the wound. Ah Li poured a bowl of sweet jujube soup from the copper pot hanging from the fire and fed it to Sang slowly. drink.
Shao Shang turned his head, bowed his head and said: "I have implicated Taigong, and he was so good at home to get his grandson, and now he is suffering here."
Li Taigong still smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "In those days when the soldiers and bandits were in unison and made chaos in the village, that was a tragedy in the world! Young lady, don't worry, yesterday I asked my family to go back to my hometown from the mountain road to ask for it. The soldiers have been rescued, which will definitely be faster than Huaxian and Chenliu. Then we will attack from both sides, and we will protect the lady and the daughter-in-law and go first."
Young merchants are no longer ignorant of world affairs when they first arrived. Li Taigong Township can at most come up with a hundred village heroes, and the combat power is not yet known.
Li Taigong seemed to have guessed what the girl was thinking, and smiled again: "Young lady, don't feel that the old man is talking about comfort. In the past seven or eight years, the road has been clear and bright, and the road has not been picked up. The old man doesn't know what happened this time. What's going on, but there is a state shepherd on the top and a county governor on the bottom, and they were all good warriors in the past, and they won't sit by and watch these gang of thieves do things in the territory. Let's get through it for a few days."
Shao Shang smiled and didn't say a word - but if something went wrong, it would be the governor of the prefecture and the county governor. For example, the original owner of the Wanjia Mansion, the Bu family, didn't they surrender and revolt?
Thinking of this, Shao Shang asked: "Tai Gong, were the prefects of Yanzhou Prefecture and Dongjun with His Majesty originally, or did they take effect later?"
Li Taigong was stunned for a moment, and began to touch his beard: "This... the state shepherd, the old man is not very clear, but the prefect of the county has seen him bow down several times, and Chang Ai talked about Cong Long during the banquet. No matter how difficult it is, His Majesty, how magical it is, I think I followed it from the beginning."
Shao Shang breathed a sigh of relief. Sang Shi heard it, put down the soup bowl, and said with a smile: "The people who came to serve were all heroes from all over the world. Your Majesty is never scornful, and most of them are officials in the court."
These words are very meaningful, Shao Shang nodded. But it is enough to know that the prefect of Dongjun is reliable.
Sang shi didn't know what to think, and mourned: "We are all like this here, and I don't know how your uncle is? If we knew this, we might as well hurry up earlier, and now we have reached Huaxian." A loving couple for more than ten years, thinking that her husband might be unexpected, she felt as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out of her heart.
"I think my uncle should be fine, but Huaxian is not good." Shaoshang said in a low voice.
Sang Shi was surprised or happy: "How do you know?"
Shao Shang sighed and said: "When we left Chenliu three days ago, there was still no wind or rain, and Li Taigong's township was also peaceful, but Qing County looked wrong. The incident must start from the east." She picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground, overlooking the map, Sili, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou were lined up in order from west to east.
"His Majesty has declared that he will patrol several states in the east. From the day we start driving, no matter how slow it is, we should enter Qingzhou, but now we have all arrived in Yanzhou, but the imperial driver still stays in the territory of East County of Yanzhou. , what does this mean? Qing County is strange, and there is no rumor in Chenliu County, what does this mean?"
Taigong Li was attracted and asked, "What does this mean?"
Shao Shang said: "This shows that some people are conspiring to do something wrong, first delaying the journey of the imperial car, and then suddenly attacking, so that no one around notices it in an instant. The Taigong said that His Majesty only passed through Qing County a few days ago, I guess the accident is In the past few days, no one in the west of Qing County knows the reason. And…”
She pointed the branch to the east of Qingxian County and drew a small circle, "I suspect that the accident is either in Huaxian or adjacent Huaxian! Therefore, the magistrate of Gongsun will only hear the news. We hurriedly led people to rescue, so that there was no one to defend the county. When we first encountered bandits and scouts, I remembered that they were heading north from the southeast. If they hadn't seen us first, they would probably have looted Qing County. "
Sang Shi was so happy that she trembled: "According to you, your uncle is fine now?"
"It's better to ask them to attack Qing County! The walls of the county are so strong." Shao Shang grumbled angrily, "Aunt worry about us first, and now there is a group of happy people outside. The gangsters are waiting for us to have a feast!"
She couldn't help but scolded the third uncle, what a huge pit!
When Chen Liu was stunned, she had to hurry, and if she stayed for two more days, she would die. Decorated? Can't we plan to move later? Otherwise, it would be better for them to go to the county town than to be hunted down in this desolate mountain forest. Are you still worried about Cheng Zhi's big pig's hoof? Worry about a P! Looking back, the Sang family was not a widow, and Cheng Zhi became a widower. Without the Sang family's soybeans and papayas all over the world, let's see if he will make another pot of soup? !
Li Taigong stroked his beard beside him, laughing: "In the end, she is a tiger girl of the general door. She has a family background, and the female son has a good opinion!"
Shao Shang smiled helplessly. At this time, she strongly misses Father Cheng and Director Xiao. If that pair of in-laws were both wise and foolish, and full of wisdom, how could she have ended up in such a place!
Sang Shi was about to speak, when she heard the guard outside shouting loudly: "—Reinforcement is coming! Reinforcement is coming!" The voice was full of joy.
Everyone in the room was surprised and happy, Shao Shang and Taigong Li stood up together, Sang Shi wanted to get up, but because of the leg injury and blood loss, he was already weak and fainted after a little exertion. Shao Shang instructed Ah Li to take good care of the Sang family, and then followed Li Taigong out of the house.
According to the round-trip time, this wave of reinforcements must have come from Li Taigong's township. thunderous.
This mountain forest was originally like deep water, no matter how much noise it made, it was like throwing a stone into a deep pool, no waves, but the whole mountain forest with murderous aura in front of me almost shook.
Shao Shang looked up, and saw a tidal wave of soldiers in black armor and white feathers rushing toward him for a moment. They don't care about lining up and setting up, and they will fight when they gallop.
The group of thieves couldn’t care less about Chengfu’s side, and hurriedly turned their knives and horses to resist, but the Black Armored Army was extremely elite, and both individual combat skills and group cooperation were far better than this. The mob, not to mention an endless stream of black armored knights arriving behind.
Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, and said dumbly: "Tai Gong, this, this is from your village...? You are so brave." How fierce are the local peasants armed these days?
Li Taigong was also stupid, and said, "Where...where..."
Shao Shang looked at the old man speechlessly, so did you admit it?
Suddenly, Taigong Li saw a group of rural strong men in the later Heijia army, and he immediately shouted to the young man in the robe: "Wulang! My husband! I am here for my father. !I'm here…"
More than a thousand black robes and black armor came at once, quickly filling the plain color of this mountain forest. Except for the hundreds in front of them who were beheading bandits, the remaining hundreds of soldiers swept the reins. Under a high-raised black flag with gold borders, they all embraced a general wearing a black horse on his head. Hundreds of people stood quietly like a ghost in the forest.
At this time, the hundreds of black armored troops in front were like hungry wolves devouring sheep for a while, tearing and biting most of the **** mutton in an instant. Unexpectedly, one of the bandit leaders was very fierce. Seeing that ten of his accomplices were destroyed, the rest had already cried and surrendered, so they gathered the last ten bandits who were determined to him, and fought hard to smash out the Heijia Army. surrounded by him, and then howled and charged towards the general, as if planning to fight to the death.
The bandit leader slashed hard, wielding a huge two-handed saber on his horse, and knocked down several guards in front of him like a human weapon. The general swung his left hand to stop the guards who were going to continue to move forward to resist. With his right hand, he took off a long golden weapon hanging from the horse, and then rode his horse to meet him. The bandit leader's eyes turned red, and he swung his sword toward him. The general moved his hand as if he was plucking a string of golden crows, and a golden brilliance spread out in an instant.
Shao Shang secretly thought that this general must be extremely physically strong. I saw him raise the Golden Crow in his hand high, spread out its bright wings like a red-gold phoenix, and then slashed down heavily.
"Okay—!" Li Taigong shouted loudly, tearing his throat, like a teahouse storyteller who was too emotional, "What a red phoenix and a gilded halberd! It is unparalleled in the world! "
His beard was shaking with excitement, he turned his head and smiled at Shaoshang: "This old man has two cousins in the Yulin Guard. I heard that this weapon is handsome and extraordinary, and I finally got my opinion today!" He looked at the corpses of thieves all over the ground with contempt, "It's a shame that the thieves are too incompetent, and have no chance to see the power of the beast pattern and the double axe!"
Shao Shang looked at the scene in the distance, and then looked at Taigong Li: So this old man regrets that the bandits are not strong enough?
She suddenly thought of something and asked the maid beside her: "Then what weapon did my father use?"
One of them said: "The general uses a long sword with nine rings and thick ridges, which weighs more than 80 catties."
Shao Shang doesn't want to talk anymore. It's useless to call such a frustrated name, weighing 250 pounds!
At this time, the official battle ahead was over, and the guards of the Cheng Mansion moved away from the fence one after another to reject the horse, and the army in black shirts slowly gathered into formation. Although the sky was bright at this time, it was difficult for the sunlight to penetrate the jungle, and only a few rays of pale golden light leaked in.
The armor, jumped on his fair face, clear and handsome, difficult to describe and difficult to draw.
When Shao Shang saw this face, her body immediately froze in half - could she be replaced by a rescuer, she felt that she could hold on.
