In the carriage, Zhao Wei and Liu Yanzheng were talking, and the topics they talked about were all about Liu Hao.
Zhao Wei was the mastermind, good at observing people's words, and had a very thorough understanding of Liu Yan's thoughts. He knew that Liu Yan liked Liu Hao, so when he spoke, he always related things to Liu Hao's affairs, and always picked out some good things to praise.
Liu Hao said that Liu Yan was extremely happy, and his wrinkled old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, very bright.
Chengdu is cool and rainy.
In autumn, there is continuous light rain, so that the river water surges and floods. Floating bridges are built on many river ditches to make it easier to pass by.
"Hush!"
Suddenly, the driver shouted and the carriage stopped immediately.
Zhao Wei frowned slightly, rolled up the curtain of the carriage, stuck out his head, and asked: "What happened? Why did the carriage stop?" After the words fell, a primary school student quickly ran over from the front, cupped his hands and said: "Return to your Excellency.
, the water surged, and the pontoon bridge in front was broken by the water, making it impossible to pass."
Zhao Wei secretly cursed his bad luck, and then asked: "Is there a passage around the place to pass by?"
The primary school officer reported back: "I have sent people to investigate the surrounding areas and we will know the situation in a few moments."
Zhao Wei nodded and waved his hand to dismiss the principal.
He shrank his head, returned to the carriage, and said apologetically: "My lord, now the autumn water has surged, and the water is so strong that the pontoon bridges built on both sides of the river have been broken. The army cannot continue to pass and can only stop temporarily.
.Now we can only wait for the soldiers to find other roads before we can continue on our way."
Liu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "No problem, just wait a moment."
When Zhao Wei heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as his tense heart relaxed, he heard shouts of killing coming from behind the carriage. At this moment, Zhao Wei's heart was lifted up again, and his smiling face also looked solemn. He hurriedly opened the carriage door curtain
, asked: "What happened? Why are there shouts of killing from behind?"
The captain responsible for protecting Liu Yan's safety galloped back and forth, commanding the soldiers to surround the carriage. Then he ran to the side of the carriage, cupped his hands and said: "Sir, there are bandits coming from behind. The situation is critical. Please stay in the carriage."
In, don’t come out.”
"ah?"
Zhao Wei exclaimed, his face turned pale, and panic appeared in his eyes.
As soon as Liu Yan left the Prefectural Mufu, he was attacked by bandits. This was not a simple matter. More importantly, Liu Yan went to the Taoist temple to pray for Liu Hao. It was his own suggestion. If Liu Yan
Thinking that he was colluding with outsiders, wouldn't it be... Zhao Wei thought of this and immediately returned to the carriage, bent his body and fell on the ground, ready to plead guilty to Liu Yan.
Seeing this, Liu Yan stretched out his hand to help Zhao Wei and said harmoniously: "Zhao Wei, I know that you are loyal and righteous, and you will never do anything to collude with outsiders. This matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to blame yourself. Furthermore, such a thing
It was just what Gu expected, so don’t worry. Some thieves dare to bring trouble to Yizhou. It’s really not good for Gu Baojian to bully Gu Baojian!”
Speaking of this, a bright light flashed in Liu Yan's cloudy eyes.
Not long after, the shouts of killing were approaching the carriage.
"Kill Liu Yan, kill the old thief!"
Loud shouts kept ringing out.
Fortunately, Zhao Wei arranged a lot of guards, more than a hundred soldiers. With a hundred soldiers protecting the carriage, surrounding the carriage in the center and blocking the way, Liu Yan was able to be temporarily protected. The bandits who came up from behind wanted to kill him.
To kill Liu Yan, he had to kill a hundred guards blocking the carriage.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
The bow and arrow came out from the string, piercing the air and making a piercing scream.
After the bow and arrow fell, it hit the soldier's armor, making a tinkling sound. Immediately, there was another popping sound, and the bows and arrows pierced into the soldiers' flesh and blood, bringing up a cloud of blood. In an instant, there were countless
The soldiers screamed and roared, and a burst of arrows fired, killing twenty or thirty soldiers immediately.
In the blink of an eye, there were only about 70 soldiers left out of a hundred people.
Although most of the soldiers blocked the rain of arrows, one or two bows and arrows still hit the carriage shaft, making a banging sound.
Zhao Wei's face turned pale and his heart trembled.
Although Liu Yan did not blame him, Zhao Wei was quite worried about his own safety in the face of such fierce bandits. He stretched out his hand towards Liu Yan and persuaded him: "Lord, the bandits have bows and arrows, which are too lethal. We
There are only more than a hundred soldiers, and they cannot resist the bandits' attack. My lord, please return immediately!"
After Liu Yan heard this, he shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Zhao Wei hurriedly advised: "My lord, your safety is related to the safety of Yizhou. In addition, Mr. Mao has not yet taken over Yizhou. If you are injured, wouldn't it cause chaos in Yizhou? Please help me, my lord."
Yizhou, for Mr. Mao, my lord himself, please send an order to return. Once the soldiers cannot resist, my lord's safety cannot be guaranteed."
Liu Yan still shook his head and said calmly: "It is for Mao'er, Gu, and Yizhou that I have to stay here. You are also a person who has experienced hundreds of battles and has seen the world. Don't worry, you won't
dangerous."
Liu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of wisdom on his face.
Zhao Wei kept rolling his eyes and suddenly smiled.
To be too old to die is to be a thief!
I thought that Liu Yan was old, but it seemed that he was still old and spicy. Zhao Wei suddenly felt a chill in his heart and felt a chill on his back. He felt that he was too self-righteous and looked down on Liu Yan too much. Perhaps, what he did before
Liu Yan knew everything about it, but Liu Yan turned a blind eye and did not hold him accountable.
Zhao Wei was sweating on his forehead, but Liu Yan squinted his eyes slightly and closed his eyes.
There was a gap in his narrow eyes, looking at Zhao Wei.
Seeing Zhao Wei's expression, he smiled faintly.
At this time, the shouts of killing outside the carriage became louder and louder, and the battle situation became more fierce. It didn't last long, but many soldiers were already killed or injured.
Out of more than a hundred soldiers, there were only about thirty left after fighting hard. If the reinforcements could not arrive within a quarter of an hour, Liu Yan would be in great danger and might be killed. However, Liu Yan was still sitting in the carriage, squinting slightly.
He closed his eyes, but there was no movement, and he did not show any sadness for the dead and injured soldiers outside the carriage.
Outside the carriage, the thieves dressed in black and covered with black scarves were extremely brave and had killed countless soldiers.
The situation became increasingly tense.
Zhao Wei opened the curtains of the carriage and took a look at the scene outside, and his heart tightened. Although he tried not to show nervousness, his face was still tense. He didn't know what Liu Yan's next move was, and he was uneasy and said hurriedly: "
Lord, the reinforcements have not arrived yet, and the situation is almost unsustainable."
"No rush, no rush!"
Liu Yan still shook his head and said calmly: "Aren't there still dozens of soldiers? What are you afraid of?"
Outside the carriage, a man in black was riding on a horse, holding a big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Old thief Liu Yan, the pontoon bridge in front has been broken. You have no way forward and no way out."
, suffer death! Haha..." Among the hundreds of men in black, this man is the only one riding on a horse. From this, it can be seen that he is the leader of these people.
Liu Yan sat in the carriage and scolded: "Who are you? You dare to intercept Zhou Mu's carriage in broad daylight. Are you seeking death?"
After hearing this, the man in black laughed and said: "Old thief, do you want to test my background? Haha, you are going to die anyway, so there is no harm in telling you. To tell you the truth, I am a descendant of Ma Xiang, and I have been stranded.
In Chengdu, I waited for you to leave the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion and waited for an opportunity to kill you. It's so pitiful that you finally came out. Now you are surrounded, with no way to go from heaven to earth, only death."
As he spoke, the man in black had a strange smile on his face.
From the carriage, Liu Yan's voice came again: "The remnants of Ma Xiang, yes, yes! I actually caught a big fish." Liu Yan's voice reached the ears of the man in black, who was immediately startled.
Fell into a trap!
The man in black's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately became nervous.
Immediately, he shouted: "Kill, fight in, kill the old thief."
After finishing speaking, the man in black galloped towards Liu Yan's carriage. Just when the man in black gave the order to launch the attack, bursts of roaring suddenly came from the surroundings. Only the sound of horse hoofs was heard, and a sound was heard.
The cavalry consisting of a hundred people suddenly rushed out and charged towards the man in black.
"Da da!……"
The sound of horse hooves sounded, the cavalry galloped, and the swords in their hands shone in the bright sun, flashing with an icy cold light.
"ah!!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed into the men in black. They trampled with iron hooves and slashed with swords, killing the men in black one after another. The defense line composed of a hundred men in black was like a paper tiger, and was immediately broken through by the cavalry.
.At the front, the man in black on horseback has broken through the encirclement and rushed towards the carriage.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
The man in black roared loudly, slashed his sword in his hand, and knocked the soldiers blocking the front to the ground.
"Old thief, suffer death!"
The man in black roared angrily, retracted his legs and exerted force suddenly, jumped up, gripped the sword and stabbed into the carriage. Only a bang was heard, the sword pierced into the carriage, and a hole was poked out of the carriage. This stab with the sword
Entering the carriage, he stabbed Liu Yan and Zhao Wei without leaning to either side, but did not hit either of them.
The man in black fell to the ground and reacted very quickly. He swung his long knife and stabbed it into the carriage again with a pop.
The knife was very fast, and it penetrated into it in an instant.
Perhaps the man in black had good luck and aimed the knife impartially at Liu Yan's chest. If it had hit Liu Yan, he would have been stabbed to death. Zhao Wei's heart skipped a beat when he saw the sword stabbing him. The situation at this time was already over.
There was no room for him to hesitate, life or death was a matter of a thought. Zhao Wei suddenly rushed towards Liu Yan and threw Liu Yan into the carriage.
Zhao Hao screamed and put his hands on the floor of the carriage to protect Liu Yan.
"Stab!"
The man in black felt happy when he heard the screams from the carriage. Although he couldn't clearly see the situation in the carriage, he could still feel the stagnant feeling of the sword piercing his body. It must have been pierced into his body.
"drink!"
The man in black shouted low, and used the sword in his hand to pierce Zhao Wei's shoulder. The tip of the knife came out through the chest, and the sharp tip was only half a foot away from Liu Yan's cheek. Once the tip of the knife reached forward,
Half a foot away, he was about to stab Liu Yan. The tip of the knife broke out of his body, and drops of blood slid down from the tip, dyeing the blanket spread on the floor of the carriage red.
Outside the carriage, before the man in black had time to draw the knife, he felt a pain in his neck, and a sword slashed across his neck. In an instant, blood spattered and his throat burst. The man in black breathed rapidly, opened his mouth and murmured a few times.
, his body tilted, he fell to the ground and lost his breath.
After the man in black died, the rest of the people who resisted were almost killed by the cavalry.
The situation was immediately controlled by Liu Yan.
