Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 40

Nearly a hundred soldiers of 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 bandits passed, Shao Shang finally drove out of the car tremblingly, pulled out the short sword that Cheng Song had given, and held 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.

Unexpectedly, this group of thieves was very fierce. Seeing the disparity in the number of people, they still waved their knives. It was obvious that the domestic soldiers were incompetent. 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.

The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and the soldiers of the Cheng family had beheaded all the twenty or thirty people, but the bandits lying on the ground, tumbling on the ground, screamed to themselves, 'Wait, I'll come to kill you all' and so on.

"They're just scouts of bandits. Light horses came out to check if there were targets for looting and looting, and there was a large group of people behind." Taigong Li looked at the corpses on the ground, and he couldn't help sweating in his vest in the cold weather. After so many years of turmoil, he is quite experienced in the behavior of gangsters.

Encountering this incident, everyone stopped delaying 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 pit that was not in the mound on the way, the revolver broke off, and the carriage It overturned on the side, and all the women in the car were crushed inside.

When the person 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 .

Seeing that she made a decisive decision at a young age, Li Taigong couldn't help but applaud.

Unexpectedly, not long after walking, the sound of killing and shouting came again from behind, and the momentum was much stronger than the previous wave of people, and everyone's faces changed. 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 Ping Di 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 when I came here, Taigong said that there are many vacant hunting houses here. I dare to ask Taigong, which hunting house is there? By the mountains, there is upstream water nearby?"

She had never read military theory, but at least she knew the idiom 'to be attacked by the enemy's belly and back'. 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, two or three days as fast as possible, and five or six days as slow as possible, no matter Huaxian or Chenliu, there must 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 mountains and forests. He turned left and right, and he found a wonderful shelter. It is built on a cluster of concave cliffs, and there is a stream flowing down from the mountains on the rock wall next to 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 generals explored the terrain, and they all said that the place was very good. After talking, they skillfully cut down many large trees with thick bowls from the forest, tied them into fences to prevent horses, and surrounded them on the flat ground in front of the house. After being so busy for nearly an hour, the brigade of thieves finally found it through the jungle.

There were three or four hundred thieves in this group, and they shouted loudly, and the fighting was fierce and frightening, but they seemed to be a temporary group together, and the cooperation was neither tacit nor unified. , the military is also insufficient. After the first wave of dense arrow rain, there are only sparse cold arrows.

In addition, the flat ground in front of the house is narrow, so the thieves can't rush to the top to win, so they can only add lamp oil one after another. The leading bandit shouted 'brothers to me, and the girl's wealth is yours' as usual, and then the two sides were tinkling to the present. It was dark and bright, and neither broke the horse, nor drove away the bandits.

At the most leisure time, both sides are tired and hungry, staring at each other to eat, thinking how to break through/defend each other.

At the most thrilling time, dozens of gangsters relied on high-headed horses and rushed over 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 originally 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 'just' seven or eight slaves. Even bandits understand this 'universal value', so there is no such 'foolish' request at all.

Standing behind the human wall of guards, Shao Shang felt bitter in his heart, wondering if he should be thankful for his reincarnation skills.

Among the abducted maids was a girl with a dimple on her left cheek. She was not yet fifteen years old. She was clever and lovable.

At that time, there was also a bandit who rushed towards her and reached out 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.

"It's enough for the bandits to 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 bloody situation, and struggled to escape like this, and watched the people around him go. die?

"Curly, come back soon! What are you doing standing in front of you, be careful that the stray arrows get hurt!" Sang Shi was supported by Ah Li, and stood in front of the big house door with difficulty and shouted anxiously.

Shao Shang trotted over, only to find that Sang's left calf was bleeding again. She frowned and said, "Auntie, go in and lie down." As she spoke, she and Ah Li helped Sang in forcibly.

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 his arm. Cheng Wei and the twins had 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 making fun of his grandson at home, and now he is suffering here."

Li Taigong still smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "Back then, when the soldiers and bandits were in one gang, they made chaos in the village. What a tragic event in the world! Young lady, don't worry. Yesterday, I asked my family to go back to my hometown from the mountain road to seek help from the soldiers. It will definitely be faster than Huaxian and Chenliu. When we attack from both sides, we will protect the lady and the young lady and leave first. ."

Shao Shang is no longer ignorant of the world when he first arrived, Li Taigong can at most have a hundred village heroes, and it is hard to say the battle strength.

Li Taigong seemed to have guessed what the girl was thinking, and smiled again: "Young lady, don't think 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, but there is a state shepherd on the top. , there is the prefect of the county, they were all good warriors in the past, and they will not sit back and watch these thieves do

things in the country. The fault is the state shepherd and the governor of the county. 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, did the prefect of Yanzhou prefecture and Dongjun have been with His Majesty originally, or did he take over later?"

Li Taigong was stunned, and began to touch his beard: "This... The old man is not very clear, but the county governor has seen him bow down a few times, and Chang Ai talked about how difficult the dragon was in those days and how powerful his majesty was

. 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 sides. Your Majesty is never scornful, and most of them are officials in the court."

These words are very meaningful, and Shaoshang nodded. . But it is enough to know that the prefect of Dongjun is reliable.

Sang shi didn't know what to think, and said sadly: "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 arrived in Hua County." Unexpectedly, 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 didn't know whether it was a surprise or a joy: "How do you know?"

Shao Shang sighed and said: "When we left Chenliu three days ago, there was no wind or rain, and the village of Li Taigong was also peaceful, but Qing County looked wrong. It can be seen that if there is an accident, it 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 from west to east.

"His Majesty has announced that he will visit several states in the east. From the day we start driving, we should enter Qingzhou no matter how slow it is. But now that we have all arrived in Yanzhou, the imperial driver is still staying in the territory of Yanzhou Dongjun. What does this mean? Qing County is strange. There is no rumors in Chenliu County, what does this mean?"

Li Taigong was attracted and asked unconsciously, "What does this mean?"

Shaoshang said: "It means that someone is plotting to delay the journey of the imperial car, and then suddenly attack, causing an instant attack. No one was aware of it. Taigong said that His Majesty only passed through Qing County a few days ago. I guess it was these days, so no one in the west of Qing County knew the reason. And..."

She pointed the branch to the east of Qing County. , drew a small circle, "I suspect that the accident is not in Huaxian but adjacent to Huaxian! Therefore, after hearing the news, Gongsun County magistrate hurriedly led people to rescue, resulting in no one to defend the county. We first encountered bandits and scouts. At that time, I remember that they were heading north from the southeast, and if they hadn't seen us first, they would probably have gone to loot Qing County."

Sang Shi was overjoyed and trembled: "According to you, your uncle is now the opposite. Are you okay?"

"Why don't you ask them to attack Qing County! The walls of the county are so strong." Shao Shang grumbled angrily, "Auntie worry about us first, and now there are a group of gangsters waiting outside happily. Let us have a feast!"

She couldn't help but scolded the third uncle, what a huge pit!

When she was in Chenliu, she was stunned to hurry, and if she stayed for two more days to let her have a blind date, she would die; when she was in Qing County, she had a sense of righteousness, and she had to leave her wife and children to go to the city by herself. 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 haha: "In the end, she is a tiger girl in the general door. She has a family background, and the female son has a good opinion!" The

young businessman 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 was about to speak, when he heard the guards outside shouting loudly: "—Reinforcement is coming! Reinforcement is coming!" The voice was full of joy.

Everyone in the room was surprised and happy. Shaoshang and Li Taigong 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 back and forth time, this wave of reinforcements must have come from Li Taigong's township. Shao Shang was originally hesitant about the fighting strength of the township, but who knew that when he stepped outside, he found that the sound of fighting outside was like thunder.

This mountain forest was originally like deep water, no matter how many noises it made, it was like throwing a stone into a deep pool, and there was no waves, but the whole mountain forest with murderous aura in front of him almost shook.

Shao Shang looked up and saw a mass of soldiers in black armor and white feathers rushing in like a tide, horses' hooves rushing like tigers and wolves, rushing to the front 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 the Chengfu side, and quickly turned the knife and the horse's head to resist, but the black armored army was extremely elite, both individual combat skills and group cooperation were far better than this group of rabble, let alone the back. An endless stream of black armored knights arrived.

Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, and said dumbly: "Tai Gong, this, this is from your village...? How brave." How fierce are the local peasants armed these days?

Li Taigong was also stupid, and he said, "Where...where..."

Shaoshang looked at the old man speechlessly, so do you admit it?

Suddenly, Li Taigong saw a group of rural strong men in the later Heijia army, and he immediately shouted at the young man in the robe: "Wulang! My husband! Here is my father! I am here..."

Hei More than a thousand robes of black armor came in a hurry, and quickly filled the plain color of this mountain forest. Except for the hundreds in front of them who were beheading thieves and 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 bloody mutton in an instant. Unexpectedly, one of the bandit leaders was very fierce. Seeing that ten of his accomplices were destroyed, not one of them survived. surrounded by him, and then howled and charged towards the general, as if planning to fight to the death.

The bandit leader slashed and slashed hard, waving a giant two-handed saber on his horse, knocking down several guards in front of him like a murder weapon in a row. 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 thought to himself that this general must be incredibly physically fit. 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 with a golden halberd! It's unparalleled in the world!"

, turned his head and smiled at Shaoshang: "This old man has two cousins ​​in Yulin Guard. I heard that this weapon is handsome and extraordinary, and I finally got my opinion today!" Then he looked at the corpses of bandits all over the ground with contempt, "Damn it. The thief is too incompetent to see the power of the animal pattern and the two axes!"

Shao Shang looked at the distant scene, and then looked at Li Taigong: So this old man regrets that the thieves are not strong enough, right?

She suddenly thought of something and asked the maid next to her, "Then what kind of weapon does my grandfather use?"

One of them said, "The general uses a long sword with nine rings and a thick ridge, which weighs more than 80 kilograms."

Shaoshang did not want to speak. . It's useless to call such a frustrated name, weighing 250 pounds!

At this time, the official battle ahead had ended, and the guards of the Cheng Mansion moved away from the fence to resist the horses one after another, and the army in black shirts slowly gathered in 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 general put away the red-gold gilt halberd, and was surrounded by the guards and slowly drove his horse closer. At this time, he suddenly raised his head and looked here. The pale golden light was like silk threads, woven into his jet-black armor, and jumped on his white armour. The face is 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 still hold on.
