C12 Road Ambushed
"Anyone who dares to obstruct the great cause of the sky will die." Wang Wenn said sinisterly.
So it turned out that the dignified officials of the Huang County Hall and the imperial government were actually also members of the Pingping Faction, the Yellow Mask Faction!
It was not strange at all. Even Duan Gui, one of the many nobles of the Imperial Court, accepted a bribe from the Yellow Ribbon Bastard.
"..."
Two carriages were traveling on the public road, one in front of the other. It was the middle of winter and there weren't many pedestrians on the road.
Although the temperature outside was low, the interior was warm. The charcoal in the brazier gave people a sense of warmth.
Hsu Shen remained silent with a solemn face, while Xiao Yan did not dare to say anything else as they were just thinking about something.
Suddenly …
"Ugh!"
A blood-curdling screech sounded from outside the carriage, causing the carriage to jolt.
"Hmm? Ah Fu, what's going on? " Hsu Shen opened his eyes and asked.
"Master Xu, let this student see what's going on."
Xiao Yan walked out bravely and opened the curtain. His eyes were round and his mouth turned into an "O" shape.
"Dead, dead!"
In front of Xiao Yan, Xu Fu, who was driving, had a goose feather arrow stuck in his shoulder. Xu Fu held it tightly, while fresh red blood soaked his clothes.
Although this arrow wasn't fatal, Xu Fu was still sweating profusely from the pain.
"Hold down the wound, don't pull it out!"
Seeing Xu Fu struggling to pull out the arrow, Xiao Yan quickly stopped him. If the arrow went deep into his body, he couldn't pull it out so easily. Otherwise, the wound would continue to bleed and Xiao Yan would really die.
"It's them! Everyone, let's go!"
A loud shout suddenly rang out from the forest on both sides of the road. Following that, dozens of battle cries rang out at the same time and Xiao Yan's body trembled.
"This kid and the old man are both rich in Huang County, catch them and use their family property to enrich the school's resources!"
Xiao Yan looked around and saw dozens of men touching the forest on both sides of the road. The one leading the group had a ruthless face, was wearing linen clothes, and had a yellow scarf tied around his head. In his hand was a bow and arrow.
These thieves were rampant, putting on yellow scarves so brazenly!
At this moment, there were only two months until the date Zhang Jiao promised to start the rebellion, he did not expect these Yellow Ribbon Bastard's people to be so rampant, but why would they attack him along the way? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?
Xiao Yan couldn't figure it out. He was the one who started this mess.
In order to cover up the matter with the yellow scarf, he claimed that he caught a yellow scarfed Taoist and was interrogated, which was heard by Wang Wenn of the Young Manor. That was why Wang Wenn sent people to inform the branches in the Huang County, and sent people to kill Xiao Yan and the rest.
This was called an unexpected calamity.
"Protect Duke!"
At the critical moment, Xiao Shi was extremely loyal. He roared and took out a Ring Head Knife from the carriage, then stabbed it towards the incoming bandits.
"Kill!"
Xiao Shi Sheng was a big man. Although he was not good at martial arts, he had used a lot of strength in this strike.
The thief that rushed out of the forest saw Xiao Shi's vicious expression and unknowingly extinguished his anger. However, the moment he deflated, Xiao Shi became even more furious and suppressed his Ring Head Knife.
Kacha. Puchi!
"Ah!
When the knife cut into the thief's neck, the blade flashed and blood spurted out onto Xiao Shi's face, making him look even more sinister.
Although it was his first time killing someone, Xiao Shi was not afraid. On the contrary, he was excited.
"Hehe!"
Xiao Shi was of Xiao Family, he was tall and strong, had sufficient food supplies, and naturally had a lot of strength. The Ring Head Knife slashed left and right, and two corpses lay beside him.
"Hmm, this man is quite brave, isn't he?"
The eyes of the Yellow Ribbon Bastard, who was firing the arrows just now, turned cold. His five fingers gripped the bow, and he took out an arrow from his quiver, aiming it at Xiao Shi.
Xiao Yan did not dare to come forward to fight, but he had a close observation of his surroundings. He quickly shouted at Xiao Shi, "Be careful not to shoot in the dark!"
"Hmm?"
When Xiao Shi heard the voice, his eyes turned cold. He looked at Yellow Ribbon Bastard and an arrow was shot at him.
"Whiz!"
So dangerous! Xiao Shi subconsciously grabbed a thief beside him to block the arrow. The goose plume arrow pierced into his chest. The thief glared and died instantly.
"Don't go on a rampage. You're not wearing any armor, so you should just hide behind the carriage and deal with them!" Xiao Yan shouted.
Although Xiao Shi killed to his heart's content, he didn't dare to disobey Xiao Yan's words. Thus, he retreated to the side of the horse carriage, using the horse carriage to cover his body as a shield to fight against the incoming bandits.
Luckily, Xiao Yan had Xiao Shi and the rest accompany him. Thus, there were seven to eight people on the two carriages. With these seven to eight people gathered together, they could rely on the carriage to deal with the thieves.
"Master Xu, please enter the car. No need to come out. "Even if I have to risk my life, I must protect Master Xu thoroughly!" Wu Tie casually picked up a spear that had been thrown to the ground by a thief as he shouted with a ferocious expression.
The reason why they were guarding Master Xu today was not just because it would benefit them to be friends with Hsu Shen in the future. Furthermore, Hsu Shen was not young anymore and Xiao Yan was only around twenty years old.
"Capture him, if he wants to live, it's Longevity Yang Duke. Capture him and he can ask for money and food from Duke Mansion!"
A thief holding a Ring Head Knife ran over with a grin, staring at Xiao Yan with his eyes, he chuckled.
Xiao Yan had never fought with anyone before. His hands that held the spear couldn't help but tremble as he was noticed by this thief.
"Master Hou, put down your spear, in case I hurt you. It's not good for you to be so tender and tender."
Xiao Yan snorted coldly: "In your dreams, even if I die today, I will not fall from the sky!"
Although the initial momentum of the Yellow Turbans Rebellion was enormous, when Hanting came to his senses, he had only dispatched three officers and tens of thousands of people to pacify the chaos in the Yellow Turbans.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If Guang Heng dies, the Han dies. If he joined the Yellow Ribbon Bastard, he would not have a good ending.
Hsu Shen couldn't help but exclaim in praise: "Good junior, how could we scholars be willing to punish thieves!"
"Kill!"
The thief rushed forward with the Ring Head Knife and used a horizontal cut, intending to cut off Xiao Yan's spear shaft and force him to surrender.
Xiao Yan groaned. Holding the spear, he used all his strength to stab out.
Clang!
The tip of the spear collided with the edge of the blade, producing a metallic clanging sound. The rebound force came from the shaft of the spear. Xiao Yan didn't say a word and thrust out his spear again.
It's just like a thief. But he's much stronger than Xiao Yan. He's like a cat playing with a mouse. He's not in a hurry to kill him. Instead, he's wearing down his strength in preparation to capture Xiao Yan alive and exchange him for food.
