Chapter 19 There is an ambush
The mountain road is getting more and more rugged, but this is not the real Maoshan. It is still a long distance from Maoshan, just a branch of Maoshan.
It is said that they will run away from the mountain, but no matter how far it is, there will be time to arrive.
Seeing the prospect of entering the mountain, Lu Qiang couldn't help urging the war horse again, hoping to enter the mountain as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the horse didn't listen to him this time. The more Lu Qiang hit it, the slower it ran, as if it was deliberately blocking the air with Lu Qiang.
Damn, people have bad luck. They really stuff their teeth when they drink cold water.
Lu Qiang looked back and saw that the pursuers had caught up again, but Zhao Xiu had disappeared. My heart can't help sinking. Is the old eunuch over?
There is no time to think about it. Since the war horse can no longer run, it simply jumps off the horse, carries Wang Shenai, leaves the curved mountain road, and runs wildly along the hillside to the forest on the mountain.
This place is not a canyon. On one side is a steep beam. The hillside under the beam can lead to the forest on the mountain. Although the hillside is not steep, it is still difficult for people to climb up.
It is said that his exercise these days is really useless, otherwise if it is his previous physique, let alone carry a person, it is hard to say whether he can run or not.
Of course, Wang Shenai can feel her husband's anxiety, but she can't help anything except silence and anxiety. The two are tied together. Although it's still cold, the clothes between them have already been soaked with sweat. She can even feel that her husband is seriously exhausted his physical strength. Her husband is in pain, but she is in pain. Li.
After meditating for a long time, he finally gritted his silver teeth, lay in Lu Qiang's ear and said, "Father, put down Yurun and go by yourself!"
"What? Shut your mouth and die together."
After listening to Wang Shen's words, Lu Qiang was really angry. When is it? Why did you still make trouble for me? If you ignore her now, you will try your best to climb the mountain with your hands and feet.
Although he was scolded by his husband, Wang Shen's love was sweet. It's not that she has the intention to test her husband, but that she really wants her husband to let go and run for her own life.
Here's the situation! One person obviously has a greater chance of escaping than two people. More than ten days of love have made Wang Shenai regard her husband's life more important than herself. Now she will not hesitate to let her die for her husband.
But Lu Qiang didn't let her down, and there was nothing she could do. I can only close my mouth obediently and turn my mind silently.
No one noticed. At this time, there were two people in black on the mountain beam, pointing at Lu Qiang and the pursuers behind them.
"Brother Five, that's not right! Master asked us to find a way to save the idiot. Looking at the current situation, the officers and soldiers behind can definitely be the Huan thief. Who are the two who escaped in front? Looking at the desperate pursuit of those officers and soldiers, isn't it the boy in front of him who stole the thief's wife?
The two brothers are condescending and can clearly see that Lu Qiang, who is running for his life, is still carrying a person behind his back.
The two are obviously commensurate with their brothers, but even the blind can see that they are a man and a woman.
The younger brother looks fierce, his face is full of flesh, standing there like a meat pier, and he is a good fighter at first glance. The woman, known as the fifth brother, not only has a pair of peach blossom eyes, but also has a very enchanting smell. With snow-white skin, she is a woman among women, but she doesn't know why her brother calls her brother, not sister.
At this moment, the fifth brother, who was obviously a woman, was also very strange. According to the master's instructions, they ambushed on the mountain beam and waited for the people who escorted the Abandoned Emperor to enter the mountain to get the Abandoned Emperor out at night.
According to the distance, the team of officers and soldiers should have entered the mountain, but after waiting for a long time, they did not see the people escorting the abandoned emperor, but they saw the officers and soldiers chasing these two people with their lives.
In fact, these two brothers can't be blamed. Looking at the whole Eastern Jin court, how many people have really seen the emperor? What's more, he is still an idiot emperor who is empty and nestled in the deep palace all day long.
"Brother Five, this boy is good at his skills. If he can join me, he may also be a tiger general in time. How about that? Can you help him?"
This brother seemed to be very afraid of the fifth brother. When he spoke, his face was full of flattery, but the smile squeezed out of his fleshy face, but it was so awkward. It's better not to laugh!
The fifth brother also noticed that the man who ran away in front of him had already. Although he carried a person on his back, his speed was not much affected. In addition, he was tall and strong, with long hands and long legs, which was obviously a talent. If such a person could really be subdued, Master would definitely be happy.
However, thinking about the master's instructions, he still shook his head firmly and scolded, "There are not many things. If we expose them in advance, the officers and soldiers who escorted the deposed emperor will not dare to go into the mountain. If you can't complete the task, you and I can't afford it."
After listening to the rebuke of the fifth brother, the younger brother did not dare to refute it. He even claimed that he shook his head when he looked at the road climbing the mountain and said to himself, buddy, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's really a bad time for you to appear.
At this time, the pursuers also reached the foot of the mountain, but the bumpy mountain road also did not allow them to ride horses. The soldiers jumped off their horses one after another and staggered to the road that had climbed halfway up the mountain.
"Hight... Don't run again... Run and shoot arrows again..."
Stop? Don't move? What doesn't move is the bastard.
Lu Qiang ignored the shouting of the pursuers. He was about to enter the woods, and as long as he ran into the woods, it would not be easy for the pursuers to catch him again.
"Brother Five, why do these officers and soldiers seem to have just got up from a woman's belly? I don't have any strength at all. If it were our brothers to catch that boy, they wouldn't be playing, would they?
The fifth brother turned his head and stared at him fiercely and scolded, "Don't say a word, no one treats you as a mute." But it's really strange in his heart. Why are these officers and soldiers lying down softly? Didn't they eat?
Relying on that tenacious will, Lu Qiang finally succeeded in running into the woods behind Wang Shenai.
In this season, the north is still covered with snow, but the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is obviously much shorter, and the leaves on the mountain will not fall as much as in the north, so it is really hard to hide in the woods in the mountains.
Although the exercise is very effective, after all, it has only been practiced for more than ten days, so when he ran into the woods, Lu Qiang was almost weak and seemed to have been washed with water all over his body, but his mind was still very clear. Although the forest in front of him was getting thicker and thicker, he knew that it was not the time to rest, he had to run deeper and deeper inside. The better.
Seeing that Lu Qiang had run into the dense forest, the two brothers despised the incompetence of the officers and soldiers, but also were also a little happy for him. After all, they were also the people they could like.
And the incompetence of the officers and soldiers also made them lose their interest in watching. Their men who went to explore have been sent out. It is estimated that news will be sent back in a while. They have to take a break and wait for the arrival of the Lord.
The younger brother who was about to turn around inadvertently glanced down the mountain, couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly pulled the corners of his clothes.
"Brother Five, look, isn't that a dog official surnamed Bian?"
The fifth brother looked back and was stunned. For this mission, the master specially asked them to go to Jiankang to see Bian Fanzhi in the distance, so he knew him.
Isn't this dog officer responsible for escorting the abandoned emperor? Why did he come here? Is the guy who just ran away the deposed emperor? That's not right! Didn't the master say that the Abandoned Emperor is a pig-like idiot? But just now that guy ran faster than the wild boar. It shouldn't be him! Did the master make a mistake?
The two brothers looked at each other and saw doubts and disbelief from each other's eyes.
The fifth brother squinted his peach blossom eyes and looked carefully at more and more officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain. He became more and more convinced that the one who had just escaped was the Abandoned Emperor.
Although he has never dealt with Bian Fanzhi, he also knows that the person who can be valued by Huan Xuan will never be a fool. Even if he wants to kill the person who stole his wife, he can never leave the abandoned emperor and run out unless the person who runs away is the abandoned emperor.
After quickly made up his mind, he turned his head and said to his brother, "Brothers have been recuperating for a long time and can deal with these long-distance officers and soldiers, but you can't be careless. As long as you delay them, I will take a few brothers to catch that man. No matter who he is, catch it first."
The younger brother's hands have been itchy for a long time. After listening to his assignment, he immediately said excitedly, "Brother Five, just take a look! Brother, make sure you don't let these rubbish disturb you."
The fifth brother nodded, immediately summoned 20 good brothers, and then took them to the direction where Lu Qiang disappeared. She also knew that it would be difficult to find as soon as she entered the dense forest, but she had confidence in herself and her men that she would definitely catch the legendary idiot emperor. She is also becoming more and more curious about the legendary waste.
Bian Fanzhi really has a dead heart now. He never dreamed that the pig-like idiot waste emperor could escape from his hand, and it's hard to say whether he can catch it or not depending on the current situation.
If he can catch it and cut it with a knife, it's easy to say anything. If he can't catch it, he can only find a rope to hang himself, because he knows that with Huan Xuan's personality, no matter how much credit he has made in the past, he will not let him go.
In fact, he hasn't figured out yet. How can the Abandoned Emperor, who used to struggle to walk, run faster than rabbits now? Is it a ghost again?
Bian Fanzhi is afraid of ghosts, but he can't take care of it at this time. If he can't catch people, he has to become ghosts.
It is said that Zhao Xiu's medicine is really powerful, but it is not really leaking the medicine. After Bian Fanzhi and his soldiers pulled and vomited, they gradually recovered. If it hadn't had some strength, would he have had the strength to chase them so far?
These soldiers brought by Bian Fanzhi did not know the seriousness of the matter, so although their buttocks were not wiped clean and their footsteps were erratic, they had to chase Lu Qiang desperately.
A thousand people can achieve the effect of all over the mountains, not to mention more than 3,000 people. For a while, I saw that the hillside was full of officers and soldiers, rushing in the direction of Lu Qiang's disappearance.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a roar on the beam, and then I saw countless big stones rolling down from the beam.
The officers and soldiers are chasing people in a dense formation, so do you think that they will encounter an ambush here? In this case, it is impossible to hide.
As the stone rolled down, the screams sounded one after another, and this was just the beginning.
After the stone, countless feathers and arrows poured down from the mountain beam again, and this time it was not a blind shot without a target, but focused on the soldiers who were not hit by the stone and were still stunned.
"Enemy attack..."
Two sudden attacks finally woke up the officers and soldiers, but nearly a thousand officers and soldiers had fallen. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining officers and soldiers suddenly turned around and ran down the mountain.
The younger brother on the mountain beam was obviously not satisfied with such a result. Seeing that the officers and soldiers put down a large number of bodies and retreated, they immediately forgot their brother's instructions, roared and waved knives to take people out from behind the mountain beam and chased the buttocks of the officers and soldiers to kill them.
Bian Fanzhi was also stupid. No wonder the Abandoned Emperor ran here. It turned out that there was an ambush!
