Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 581: Rescue
In the stables in the backyard of the Xiao Mansion, carriages are lined up here. A servant of the Xiao Mansion carries some soft objects to the car. Xiao Du also comes over occasionally to put some things he likes. Xiao Ling Then he brought his wives over one by one and got in the car.
Although the Xiao family will leave a few servants to look after their mansion in the capital, it is difficult for the Xiao family to say when they will return to the capital this time, so it can be considered a big move, and some precious or cherished things are gone. Ready to take away.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."
Xiao Du coughed, holding a few calligraphy and paintings in his arms, and walked to the back of a carriage full of calligraphy, paintings, and toys. An old servant hurried forward.
"Sir, let me do it. Your body has not fully recovered. Go and rest inside. It's still a little cold outside."
"Ahem... No, cough, it's okay. These things are my treasures, so you can feel free to take them yourself!"
As he spoke, Xiao Du slowly walked to the back of the carriage, put the calligraphy scroll in his hand from the opened back cover into a long wooden box, then closed the wooden box, and there was an inlay on the side. The long box of finely carved nanmu with copper edges is still empty.
"Watch it."
"Hey!"
Xiao Du gave an order and turned back again, passing by the busy servants of the Xiao family. He returned to his study again, entered the room and looked inside. Many shelves were empty, but many things were still there. Keep it.
The Xiao family is not short of money. Even if the return date is uncertain, it is impossible and difficult to move everything in the Xiao family. You only need to take what you must take with you.
Xiao Du walked around the curtain of the study room and came to the inner position to look at the white wall behind the desk. There was a large copybook hanging on it, with "Spring Water Poster" written on it. It was eloquent and contained a thousand words. It is the scene of the river in spring, which also relaxes the author's mind. The text, iron painting and silver hook show his character, and the final signature is actually Yin Zhaoxian.
Xiao Du took the hanging rod in the study, carefully took off the "Spring Water Poster", placed it on the desk and brushed the non-existent dust on it, and then rolled up the calligraphy little by little.
After Xiao Du took the "Spring Water Sticker" with him, he looked back at the study room he had used for many years, and finally sighed and left with a low cough.
When he arrived at the stables, Xiao Du saw his son's figure, and also saw some maids handing tinkering items to and from the carriages, and knew that his daughters-in-law had already boarded the carriages.
"Dad, why don't you go and have a rest and move things for the servants or the children to come!"
Xiao Ling hurriedly came over to help Xiao Du. Recently, his father was particularly afraid of the cold. He had been anxious for days and the cold was not getting better. He did not have any other bad symptoms, but his cough never got better.
"Ahem, cough, cough...what's wrong with some things, cough, how can I let the servants come over? What should I do if it's broken? Ahem...father, do it yourself!"
Xiao Du walked to the carriage where his writing and playthings were kept, put the copybook in his hand into the box, then took the lock and locked it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ling could see clearly from the side. From the gold frame of the copybook, he knew it must be the "Spring Water Poster" in his father's study. It was one of the most proud works of Mr. Yin Zhao, a great literary figure, and this one alone If the copybook is released, I wonder how many people will be willing to pay an eye-popping price to buy it.
"Dad, get in the car, we'll leave in a minute."
"Okay."
Xiao Ling helped Xiao Du into one of the carriages, and then gave a few words to the servant beside the carriage before walking to a large carriage at the back. There was a woman over there who was opening the curtain and looking at the direction he was coming from. Xiao Ling's first wife, Duan Muwan, was once a famous prostitute Hongxiu.
Seeing Xiao Ling coming, his wife looked in the direction he came from and asked.
"Ms. sir, what you just said was 'near immortal three points', right?"
Although Duan Muwan is Xiao Ling's first wife, she has never been to Xiao Du's study, let alone what the furnishings are like, but she has heard her husband mention the calligraphy and paintings there.
Xiao Ling nodded.
"Yes, it is "Spring Water Post" by Yin Xiang. Legend has it that Yin Xiang rarely wrote it when he was drunk. The word "laugh" can be said to be almost immortal. At first, the saint almost snatched it from Yin Xiang's hands. My father has made many achievements in handling cases over the years. On the eve of my father's 70th birthday the year before last year, the Holy Father privately asked my father in the imperial study room what reward he wanted. He asked for this "Spring Water Tie", which made the Holy Spirit very angry, but he still "Give it."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but smile, while his wife next to him sighed with emotion.
"Sometimes I can't understand it, but when I think about it carefully, I agree..."
"Stop talking and sit inside."
The people in the Xiao Mansion started packing things yesterday. All the things that should be brought today have been loaded into the car. All the servants who should go with them have also arrived. The servants who should be dismissed have also paid corresponding fees and let them leave. At Si time Halfway through, everything was ready. Xiao Ling and some guards rode ahead, leading a team of more than a dozen large and small carriages, and left the Xiao Mansion where he had grown up. Only a few servants stayed in front of the house, looking into the distance. It is difficult to express in words the feeling in my heart.
On the carriage, most of the people in the Xiao family felt a little heavy, but some felt that being able to leave the capital would give them a breather.
Xiao Ling rode a horse, looking at the people in the capital along the way, looking at the prosperity of the capital, knowing that he might not come back for a long time, and even some friends did not have time to say goodbye to this trip, but this way It's good for both parties. It's worth mentioning that the new marriage in the Xiao family was considered dirty.
The Xiao family's building boat on the Tongtian River has been prepared for a long time. Before boarding the boat, Xiao Ling and several guards with high martial arts skills inspected every corner of the building boat, and then people boarded the boat to load everything. , after everything was ready, we didn’t stop at all and went along the waterway of Tongtian River.
……
"Drive..." "Drink..."
"Pap, tap, tap, tap..."
"Driving..."
The sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground is like rolling past.
Yin Zhong took A Yuan and ten other masters from the Yin family. A total of twelve people were riding fast and did not follow the Xiao family's team. When the Xiao family started to pack their luggage and prepare to leave, Yin Zhong took Man takes the first step and goes straight to the right place in his judgment.
It is absolutely impossible for anything to happen during the distance between Xiao Mansion leaving the capital and the Tongtianjiang Pier. Firstly, the distance is short, and secondly, it is within the scope of the capital after all, and there is the old turtle in Tongtianjiang. Yin Zhong heard that his brother Yin Qinghe He had talked about this old turtle, so he also knew something about this old turtle. It was unlikely that the Xiao family ship would be attacked or successfully attacked in the Tongtian River. The most vulnerable to attack is when you land in Wanzhou and go to Jizhou.
" Otherwise, the power will be low, but everyone, including Yin Zhong, is determined to take it easy, so this hardship is nothing.
After six days of driving, late at night, Yin Qing and others were resting when they heard the approaching night owl.
"Master, there is a spy report!"
Yin Zhong opened his eyes and sat up. About ten breaths later, a man in dark blue night clothes trotted up to him.
"Sir, the Xiao family boat anchored at Yanluoqiu one hour before nightfall, and there is no movement at the moment."
"An hour before nightfall? It seems a little early...Yan Luoqiu?"
Yin Zhong felt something was wrong, frowned and then ordered his subordinates.
"Bring me the map."
"Yes!"
The subordinates took the oil-paper map and lit a small lantern with a fire stick. Everyone gathered around the lantern and looked at the map at the temporary camp where they were resting. Yin Zhong followed the Tongtian River to find Yanluo Qiu. His fingers traced several waterways on the side, and after thinking for a moment, he whispered.
"Secretly hiding Yan Luoqiu?"
Yin Zhong raised his head and looked at the sky. The weather was beautiful tonight, and it was a cloudy day with extremely poor visibility after the lights were turned off.
"Sir, do you mean that someone from the Xiao family will be secretly in Yanluoqiu tonight, going back in two ways, one in the dark and the other in the dark?"
"Wonderful!" "As expected of a former imperial censor, he can think of getting off the boat here!"
"Well, there are many small waterways in Yanluoqiu. If the boat moves forward secretly, it will be difficult to predict its direction later."
"How could you tell that they would do this?"
Yin Zhong looked calm.
"The Xiao family is sophisticated and sophisticated. It is not difficult to deduce this based on their nature. However, doing so is equivalent to separating their manpower. After all, if they want to maintain the illusion of building a ship, the risk of an accident is small, but their ability to withstand risks is great. Weakened..."
……
Five days later, Yin Zhong's worries turned into reality. The Xiao family's boat docked at the dock of a small town, and they bought some carriages and drove on. Nothing happened on the first day, but before nightfall the next day, Xiao Ling noticed something Something is wrong.
A group of people were making a fire and cooking in a remote mound sheltered from the wind. Xiao Ling and other martial arts masters suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly.
"Attention everyone, there is a large group of people approaching!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud roar sounded in the distance.
"Hahahahaha, brothers, the fat sheep in front are here, kill those who resist, be careful not to hurt those little girls!"
"Hahahaha..." "Up!"
Xiao Ling was shocked.
"Be careful, everyone, it's a horse thief!"
More than a dozen Xiao family guards drew their swords and ran to the outside area with Xiao Ling. They could vaguely see a large group of people coming from a distance, and the rumble of horse hooves was deafening.
"About forty riders, we can handle it, everyone..."
Before Xiao Ling finished speaking, the pupils in his eyes shrank violently, because he saw many of the horse thieves leaning back and raising some long poles, and some had crossbows in their hands.
"Throwing a spear and riding a crossbow!? Not a horse thief!"
Swish, swish, swish... woo woo...
A whistling sound broke through the air, and more than twenty throwing spears shot across the arc, extremely fast and very accurate...
"Pfft..." "Pfft..."
"Ah..." "Uh..." "Pfft..."
Even though the Xiao family guards were all good at martial arts, three people were still directly nailed to the ground with spears thrown at them. Then crossbow arrows came and injured several people.
"Kill them all and leave Xiao Du behind!"
The leading cavalry sergeant stopped pretending and shouted orders. As a group of knights rushed towards the Xiao family camp, fighting and screams resounded in the wilderness.
The members of the Xiao family, including Xiao Du, could only huddle in the corner of the camp, either at a loss or trembling. Xiao Ling had gone crazy, and he and his guards used all their means to attack crazily, and they were already covered in wounds. Colorful.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves approached again, which made the Xiao family feel desperate. A hand grabbed Xiao Ling's shoulder, which was a guard covered in blood.
"Sir, you take the master and his wife away, we are blocking you here!"
"Pfft..."
As soon as the guard finished saying this, his head was already gone. The leader who looked like a general flashed past on horseback and laughed.
"No one can leave!"
As for Xiao Ling, whose face was sprayed with blood from his subordinates, he just swung his knife and retreated. His vision was greatly disturbed, and his heart was filled with fear. He was not afraid of death, but afraid of the consequences after his death. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoスshuyuan.com
The general galloped on his horse again, raising the heavy sword in his hand, aiming directly at Xiao Ling, who was waving the sword randomly over there.
"Hahahaha... Xiao Ling, die!"
The broadsword had been raised, and the horse's hooves were approaching Xiao Ling, but at this moment, in the darkness near Xiao Ling, a faint whistling sound that ripped through the air sounded.
"Woo...bang..."
A fist suddenly appeared and struck directly on the head of the military horse under the general's crotch. At this moment, the general felt that his body was thrown away by a huge force.
With a sound of "Boom...", both the man and the horse were knocked to the ground and dragged diagonally for several feet. The general was directly pressed under the horse, squeezed and dragged, and broke halfway. gas.
"No need to live!"
"Yes!"
As Yin Zhong gave the order in a hoarse voice, the masters of the Yin family entered the battlefield from three directions. Yin Zhong was unarmed, either using a stolen sword, a stolen spear, or even throwing a spear, like a **** of war. , wherever he passed, people turned on their backs.
The Xiao family's physical strength was already low, so they just stayed behind to protect the family members. They looked at each other as if they were stunned. They could see which side had the advantage.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the battlefield calmed down. In the dark night, Yin Zhong held a broken knife in his left hand and a spear with a head in his right hand. He stood on the corpses. The moonlight broke through the clouds and shone down, showing that Showing that blood-red color.
"Chief, two of our brothers died and seven were injured."
"Well, take the dead and wounded brothers with you and let's go."
After saying this in a hoarse voice, Yin Zhong looked back at the Xiao family camp, then turned around and strode away.
"Hero! Hero, you can leave your name! Hero, can you tell me who is helping!"
Xiao Du shouted from behind, but Yin Zhong and others had no intention of stopping, but those eyes that were still bright under the shadows were deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the Xiao family.
