Chapter 966: The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows
966. The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind
Fu Ting left the capital with resentment and swayed all the way towards Ningzhou in the northwest, he could imagine that even if he returned to the family, he would lose his previous prestige, and his branch was completely lost.
Walking until dark, Fu Ting, who felt the slowing down of the carriage, woke up leisurely, stretched his waist, opened the curtains and saw that it was already dark, but there were still trees on both sides of the road, it seemed that it should be in the wilderness, the cool breeze of late autumn was swishing, and Fu Ting was a little shivering.
Immediately, he asked, "What kind of realm is this?" Why don't you stay overnight when it's dark? ”
The coachman replied with a bitter face: "Lang Jun, just past Tongguan, the front is the Phoenix Valley, and I have reached Luochuan at the boundary of Ningzhou in the past, and the commander said to rush to Luochuan before dark, but this road is slow, delaying the journey, and it should not be able to arrive."
"Bastard, call Fu Si here." Fu Ting was furious when he heard this, and looked at the wilderness, the dimmer the light became, and the thought of the possibility of sleeping in the wild with fierce beasts, insects and snakes as his companions, Fu Ting, who was born in a rich family, felt a sigh of relief.
After a while, a man with five big and three rough came closer, he was Fu Yi's escort commander, "Fu Si, it's all your fault for being greedy for the distance and missing the accommodation, you hurry back to reincarnate, go find a nearby restaurant and hotel, stay overnight and then leave." Fu Ting saw that this man was scolding with his head and face.
The man didn't seem to be very scared when he saw Fu Ting's anger, hugged his chest and smiled: "What do you live, hurry back to Ningzhou." Anyway, he knows that men who practice martial arts are not afraid of bumpy journeys, Fu Ting is different, the pampered wealthy Langjun, who enshrines a noble official like Yushi, has such fatigue on weekdays, and after a day of bumpy carriage, he will have to break up his soft bones.
It was Fu Ting, who was uncomfortable, who heard this, and immediately became angry, "Fu Si, you are so bold, you dare to disobey me, why don't you quickly find a place to stay, and then be lazy and kill you for me."
Fu Si laughed when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he raised his head and said disdainfully: "You think you are still the previous Fu Erlang, I will send you back quickly, and then go to serve the Dalang Jun of the West Courtyard."
Fu Ting heard this, he was furious, Langjun of the West Courtyard, is his cousin, he is a small official of the eighth grade in Ningzhou, and he is also young and promising, he served in Beijing before, and he was in the limelight as a noble official like the Imperial History, and he has been suppressing his peers in other departments of the Fu family, especially the young and praised benevolent gentleman of the West Courtyard Dalangjun, and now Fu Ting will never be hired, and he will not be allowed to enter Beijing, which is considered a desperate career, but I didn't expect that even the personal guards in the family are dog-eyed and low-looking, How could Fu Ting not be angry.
Just as he was about to get angry, suddenly a hoarse laugh came from the woods beside the road, "Who? Fu Si was still very conscientious, although he looked down on Fu Ting, he still pulled out his saber to guard the front of the carriage with a swish.
"Haha, Fu Langjun, you have experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, the world is cold, once you lose power, even your guards will not be loyal to you." More than a dozen black-clothed men with knives burst out of the woods, and one of the leaders laughed coldly.
Fu Ting was shocked when he heard this, shrank into the carriage, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" What is the intention? ”
"It doesn't matter who we are, because the dead ...... You don't need to know that much." The black-clothed man at the head seemed to be quite idle, smiled and said, just waved his hand: "Up, no one is left."
When the words fell, more than ten black-clothed people rushed out behind him, Fu Si was shocked when he saw this, and roared angrily: "Protect Erlangjun to retreat", leading eight or nine guards behind him to meet him, two waves of people and horses collided, and a fight began.
Fu Ting hid in the carriage and shivered, and he, a scribe who had never seen blood, was so panicked when he met this scene in the dark night.
"President, this ...... And a bunch of people who have the same purpose as us? In the dense bushes on the other side, there were also more than a dozen black-clothed people lying on the ground staring at each other.
The person at the head is relatively thin, his right sleeve is tightly tied, and he is actually one-armed, this person is Li Ran, the president of the Tianxia Association, with Chen Ping and more than ten thunder shadow masters around him, looking at the wave of black-clothed people on the official road outside, Li Ran was also a little confused, thought about it and said: "Lang Jun, let's not delay, take Fu Ting as soon as possible, it should be expected that someone else will be wrong to Fu Ting, but this group of people seems to want Fu Ting's life, almost we are late."
"What should I do?" Chen Ping's face was grim and expressionless, as if he was suitable for killing in this dark night.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of people on both sides of them, and then go out when they are almost done, this is called the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind." Li Ran's eyes were shining, staring at the battle in the field and said.
"Lang Jun, the commander is blocking us, let's go quickly." The driver, who was also trembling with fright, seemed to be the leader of the way, and climbed into the straight in front of the car.
"Yes, yes, I, let's go first, Fu Si will definitely be able to stop them." Fu Ting's frightened face seemed to rise to hope when he heard this, and he nodded straightly.
There was a creaking sound, the carriage turned, and ran towards the other fork in the road, and the leader of the men in black scolded angrily when he saw this, and shouted: "You guys deal with them, and the others chase after me."
Fu Si looked back and saw that Fu Ting had already run away, and he also scolded, leading the remaining guards to fight and retreat, and after exiting the battle circle, he actually spread his feet and ran away, several men in black wanted to chase after him, and the leader of the men in black shouted: "Don't worry about him, kill Fu Ting." Chase straight in the direction where the carriage is going.
As early as when Fu Ting's carriage moved, Li Ran and others found out that he was about to run, so they were busy leading people to catch up and intercept the carriage on that path, and it was very embarrassing that the three parties were facing each other.
Fu Ting looked at the front and back, but he was blocked by the man in black, and immediately rolled his eyes, almost fainting in fright, and the leader of the man in black woke him up with a word, "Who are you?" The leader of the men in black shouted.
It turned out that they were not in a team, Fu Ting's eyes were full of hope, and he looked at Li Ran and the others in front of him and shouted: "The righteous man save me, I am a member of the Fu family in Ningzhou, if the righteous man can save me, the Fu family will definitely give a good reward."
The corners of Li Ran's mouth twitched, and there was no extra nonsense, because Li Pojun told him that the villain died from talking too much, so he waved his hand directly and said: "Let's go." When the words fell, more than a dozen Thunder Shadow Assassins behind him jumped forward, stretched out their hands and pressed them, only to hear a whizzing sound of crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows at such a close distance in the dark night made that wave of black-clothed people unable to guard against it, and directly fell down three or five, this is the power of the Thunder Shadow Assassin's arm sleeve arrow.
A wave of sleeve arrows shot over, and the Thunder Shadow Assassin stepped forward, that is, it was harvested, Li Ran's mind moved, and he shouted: "Leave two alive."
