Yanqu is a village only a dozen miles away from Deng County.
Liu Xiu was indeed right. When they arrived at Yanqu, it was dark. When they arrived near the village, Liu Xiu reined in the reins and stopped. Yan Guang and others urged their horses to come to him, following Liu Xiu's lead.
Lift your eyes and look forward.
In the dim night, Yan Qu's shadow could be vaguely seen. Liu Xiu watched for a moment and said to the people around him: "For us to enter the village directly, our goal is too big, and we don't know the situation in the village. Let's do this, Jiu'er, you
Follow me into the village to explore the road, Zi Ling, and you take everyone to hide the horses in the nearby woods."
Everyone had no objections, and Yan Guang reminded: "Master, be more careful after entering the village!"
"I know." Liu Xiu handed the reins of his horse to Yan Guang, and then walked to the village with Jiu'er.
Yanqu is not a big village, with only dozens of households. As soon as Liu Xiu and Jiuer arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw an old man sitting on the roadside enjoying the cool air, talking to each other about something, and the words were quite heated.
Liu Xiu walked forward, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "Several old men."
The old people stopped talking and looked at Liu Xiu and Jiu'er curiously. They felt that they were well-dressed and not very old. One of the old people asked curiously: "I wonder where this young master came from?"
"We brothers and sisters are from Xinye."
"Oh! Are you coming to Yanqu?"
"Visiting relatives!" Liu Xiu asked with a smile: "Excuse me, father-in-law, how to get to Zhao's house?"
"Zhao family? Which Zhao family?"
"It's the Zhao family of County Lieutenant Zhao Ying!"
After hearing this, the expressions of several old people changed.
One of the old men stood up tremblingly, looked into the village, and then whispered mysteriously to Liu Xiu: "Master, take your sister and leave quickly, the Zhao family has committed a crime!
"
Liu Xiu pretended to be surprised and asked: "Committed a crime? What did you commit?"
"Who knows! A group of officers and soldiers have just arrived at the Zhao family. I heard that they are county soldiers coming from the county town! Even the county government has been alarmed. What happened to the Zhao family this time will definitely be serious!"
Liu Xiu frowned secretly. It seemed that Zi Ling had guessed that Zhen Fu indeed sent someone to Yanqu, and they came so quickly. He showed a nervous look and asked: "Excuse me, my father-in-law, those officers and soldiers have left."
?"
"Not yet! We are at the Zhao family now! Young people, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise you will be implicated and it will be too late to regret it!" Liu Xiu looks handsome, speaks and behaves very politely, and has a lot of...
He has the elegance of a scholar, so it is easy to win the favor of strangers.
"Thank you for reminding me, old man! But we are distant relatives to the Zhao family. Even if the Zhao family commits trouble, my sister and I will not be implicated. Could you please tell us how to get out of the Zhao family?"
The old man sighed, pointed into the village, and said: "The second family at the west end of the village is the Zhao family. But young man, I still have to advise you, take your sister and leave quickly. Don't cause trouble."
Liu Xiu seemed to hesitate again and again, and finally bowed to the old man and saluted, then took Jiu'er and turned around and walked back.
Looking at the backs of Liu Xiu and Jiu'er, the old people enjoying the shade invariably let out a sigh of relief. Some people couldn't help but sigh: "What a sin! Lao Zhao's family is good. Although he mentioned a son who was a county captain, he never bullied him.
Passing the neighbors in the village."
"I estimate that in all likelihood, that boy Zhao Ying committed something in the county town and implicated his family."
"What kind of things can be done in the county? And alarm the county?"
"Rebellion! Wouldn't the Liu family in Cai Yang rebel?"
"Rebellion..."
Listening to the discussion among the old people behind him, Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled. If Zhao Ying had really rebelled, wouldn't he have taken his family away long ago, and would he have waited for the county government to send someone to arrest him?
He and Jiu'er left the village and entered the woods outside the village. They found Yan Guang and others. Liu Xiu said seriously: "The people sent by Zhen Fu have arrived in Yanqu and are now at Zhao's house!"
Hearing this, everyone frowned. Feng Yi murmured: "It's so fast!"
Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "The fact that the people from the county came so quickly can only mean that Zhen Fu has already sent people out of the county before we captured Caiyang!"
Gai Yan said: "This Zhen Fu still has some abilities!"
"It's not surprising! What happened in Wancheng has already made Zhen Fu realize that the general is about to start an uprising in Chongling. It is reasonable for him to send people in advance to control the families of important officials in various counties."
Yan Guang said something, then looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "Lord, what are you going to do?"
Liu Xiu asked, "Ziling, what do you mean?"
Yan Guang said: "There are two ways, either we go directly into the village and rob people, or we wait for the other party to leave the village and we rob people halfway."
After a pause, he added: "I prefer the latter. If you go into a village and take action, it will be difficult to control the situation, and innocent people will inevitably be hurt."
Liu Xiu said: "As I thought, we set up an ambush outside the village and took action outside the village!"
The Zhao family did not have many family members, including Zhao Ying's parents, two younger sisters, and two domestic servants, a total of six people. There were not many officers and soldiers from the county, only a dozen soldiers in total, and the leader was just one.
What a long name.
The county army got a carriage from nowhere and loaded Zhao Ying's parents and two younger sisters into the carriage. Two servants were responsible for driving the carriage, and more than a dozen county soldiers rode horses to protect the carriage.
Liu Xiu and others who were lying in ambush in the grass beside the road saw the carriage getting closer and closer. Liu Xiu pulled Fu Jun's sleeve and whispered: "Ziwei, did you see the leader in the team?"
?Get rid of him first!"
Fu Jun's heart was shocked and he looked at Liu Xiu with a surprised look on his face.
His eyesight has been specially trained. Even in the dark, the distance he can see is far greater than that of ordinary people.
At this time, he could barely see clearly that there were seventeen officers and soldiers in the cavalry coming over. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiulian could distinguish each of them.
As the carriage got closer to their ambush location, Fu Jun finally saw clearly that there was indeed a senior officer among the officers and soldiers.
He nodded towards Liu Xiu and whispered: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm sure of it!" As he spoke, he slowly took off the long bow he was carrying.
A dozen officers and soldiers were riding horses and were walking forward. Suddenly, they heard a whooshing sound. Before anyone could even figure out what was going on, the tall man in the crowd suddenly tilted his body and fell directly from his horse.
Go down.
The surrounding soldiers were startled and subconsciously exclaimed: "What a long--"
When people lowered their heads and took a closer look, their expressions changed drastically. It turned out that there was an arrow stuck in the very long neck. It was so powerful that it had shot through his neck.
Shi Chang lay on the ground, opening and closing his mouth, but no sound came out, and all he spit out was blood.
There is an enemy! Before the officers and soldiers could shout, Liu Xiu had already rushed out from the grass. He jumped up to a height of two or three meters, and swept out with the Red Sky Sword. A man was sitting on a horse.
The necks of the cavalrymen were cut off, and the headless corpses were still sitting on the horses. The huge heads had fallen to the ground.
puff!
Blood arrows were sprayed into the air from the short neck, seeming to dye the bright moon in the sky blood red.
A soldier next to him roared, raised his spear, and stabbed Liu Xiu. However, the sharp edge of the spear did not even come close to Liu Xiu. A huge black shadow sprang out of the grass next to him, like a running rhinoceros.
Hit the horse hard.
The man and the horse, weighing several hundred kilograms, were knocked to the ground by the black shadow. Before the fallen soldier could get up, the ring-headed sword had already slashed down, with a click and a crisp sound.
, the soldiers’ heads fell.
This black shadow is Gai Yan.
The sneak attack by Liu Xiu and others was fast, sudden, and extremely sharp. Several soldiers were killed in one attack.
The remaining dozen soldiers were horrified. Unfortunately, before they could respond, Liu Xiu and others had already approached them.
More than a dozen soldiers fell down in the blink of an eye. The remaining few soldiers, not expecting to be able to fight, urged their horses to flee. They wanted to run away, but they had to ask Fu Jun for his arrows.
Whoosh! Poof——
As arrows pierced the sky, a soldier who was riding his horse to escape was hit by an arrow in the back. He fell forward and fell from his horse to the ground.
Another soldier subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and whoosh, an arrow accurately hit the back of his neck.
Two consecutive arrows, with an interval of less than one second, killed two soldiers one after another. Such superb archery skills really sent chills down one's spine.
The other two fleeing soldiers were like crazy, whipping their whips and slapping the horse's buttocks continuously. At the same time, both of them were lying on the back of the horse, covering their attacked faces.
Reduce to a minimum.
Fu Jun snorted coldly. He rushed out and ran forward a few meters. At the same time, he drew an arrow from the quiver, put on the bowstring, pointed the arrow in the air, and shot an arrow fiercely.
The arrow drew a wonderful parabola in the night sky, falling from a high place, as if it had eyes, and nailed a cavalryman on the back of the heart impartially.
His arrow shocked Liu Xiu and others. In such a dark night, the opponent fled on horseback again, very fast, and could no longer see the angle from which to shoot the opponent, but Fu Jun unexpectedly
He can also kill the opponent with an incredible arrow. His archery skills are at the pinnacle.
After shooting the soldier, Fu Jun stopped running forward. He re-cocked his bow and arrow, and the arrow was still aimed at the sky.
Everyone around them straightened up and looked at Fu Jun first with bated breath, and then at the officers and soldiers who had already run far away and completely disappeared into the night. They couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, that officer and soldier has disappeared, how can you still do it?
Kill him with one arrow?
Just as people were thinking, Fu Jun shot an arrow.
call out--
The arrows pierced the air, making a harsh whistling sound.
The whistling sound changed from loud to small, and then from small to completely inaudible. Just when everyone thought that Fu Jun's arrow missed the target, they heard a sudden scream in the distance in the night.
This scream made everyone feel horrified involuntarily. They looked at Fu Jun, who was putting the long bow on his back again in stunned silence, as if he was fine, and sighed in their hearts: Is he still a human?!
Yan Guang coughed dryly, walked up to Fu Jun, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "Ziwei's archery skills are as good as those of Li Guang in this world!"
Gai Yan said with lingering fear: "Don't mess with anyone who is good at archery." Otherwise, he might one day not even know how he died.
