Chapter 13: An Accidental Assassination
The breeze blows, and the green waves spread into the distance. Yun Xiao stood on the edge of the ground, watching the farmers harvest corn one by one. My heart was filled with the joy of a good harvest, and the corn was growing well. The corn harvested from 20 acres of corn land can provide seeds for thousands of acres of land in the future.
Hunger has always been the greatest enemy of the Chinese nation, and there have been many cannibalism in a history of 24 throughout the ages. In just three words, it contains the history of blood and tears of the children of the Han family. It sounds like a story that earns people's tears. But how many times, people just ripped around that pot of cooked human flesh like hungry wolves.
With this corn, it will not be a few years before the grain will be greatly abundant. As long as this high-yield crop is promoted, the Han family will no longer have to worry about hunger.
Looking at the stacks of corn piled up, Canghu can stuff an egg in his mouth. The goshawk blamed it for salivating, and he hadn't eaten this thing for a long time. I already miss it a little, looking at Yun Xiao's appearance. I wanted to speak, but I swallowed it anyway. This is a treasure that the brothers braved to dig out of that forest, and I heard Master Hou say that this is a treasure that lives in the world. If you have a good mouth, you may plant a little less ground.
"If you want to eat, you can carry a sack back, and you will get something back from birth and death. It's okay to eat some, don't keep spitting on the sidelines. The sound was as loud as a drum. Yun Xiao glanced at the goshawk and said helplessly.
"Hey! Some Hou Ye is compassionate, and he is a little hungry in his mouth if he doesn't eat for a year. The goshawk happily made a hemp bag, and pulled it into the sack with the tender green husk. Since the goshawk can eat something, the blue tiger will naturally not refuse. I also got a hemp bag, and with a howl I started to fill the corn.
Yun Xiao looked at this harvest scene, and his heart was happy. I have a seed this year, and I will give Liu Cheng some of this thing next year. All the dry fields in Dawangcheng are planted with corn, and it may only take three or five years. There is no hunger in Shandong. And so on more than ten years later. The whole Han will no longer suffer from hunger.
Chinese do not have to wait until Taizong's reform and opening up to truly solve the problem of food and clothing. Two thousand years ago, it was possible to eat a full meal.
Yun Xiao was obsessed, and the iron guard body beside him flew up and knocked Yun Xiao down. Yun Xiao was so stumped by this crash that he even broke his skin. Blood broke through the barriers of dust. Slowly slipped down his cheeks.
"Fuck ......" Yun Xiao was about to scold, but saw a crossbow arrow stuck in the chest of the fallen iron guard. The tailless one knows at a glance that it is the iron tire crossbow of the Yun family's standard. The bolt went straight through the armor leaf and nailed it to the heart of the guard.
Tie Wei's mouth trembled twice, as if he was about to say something. But a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his head tilted and stopped moving.
"There are assassins!" As soon as he remembered an abrupt shout, seven or eight crossbow arrows shot towards Yun Xiao. The iron guard beside him fell to the ground, and the two guys who were shot in the thighs crawled over and pressed Yun Xiao under him.
"Someone. There are assassins! Yun Xiao was a little blind, and he wouldn't have thought of killing him. was actually assassinated in the big king city where he lived, and he used the iron tire crossbow of the Yun family's standard. It must be your own people, who will it be?
I went out of the city today to see the corn harvest, and I didn't bring many guards. Under a rain of arrows, one fell. The rest didn't have time to get on their horses to get crossbow arrows, and they were named one after another. Obviously the opponent came prepared.
A thunderous sound suddenly sounded on the horizon, and Yun Xiao was startled and hurriedly pushed away the iron guard beside him. The dirt roads in autumn are unusually dry. I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and I knew with my ass that it was a cavalry rushing over.
The opponent's horse is very fast. At first glance, it is the war horse owned by the Yun family. Yun Xiao gritted his teeth and stared at the smoke, he wondered which Erwuzai wanted to kill him. A horse rushed to the front, and the man on the horse wielded a huge mace in his hand. The sharp spikes reflect the afterglow of the setting sun, and there is a bewitching fiery red.
Canghu dropped the sack and rushed over in stride. He also carried a saber in his hand. Two guards immediately greeted him. Little Bear had already rushed over with his cavalry, and the Iron Guard thought that Canghu had negotiated it. Before Canghu could speak, the saber in his hand had already slashed down.
"When", "Smack", "Oops! "A series of sounds, although the iron guard's martial arts and sword skills are not bad, but the Canghu is a figure rolling over in the blood river of the corpse mountain. Where is the Iron Guard's opponent these two times. With a skillful effort, he wrenched the saber in the guard's hand, and then kicked the guard to the side.
Running in front of Yun Xiao in three steps and two steps, the two injured guards hugged Canghu's thighs. Howling to make Yun Xiao run away, a red-eyed guy gave Canghu a mouthful.
"Ahh The tiger was in pain and let out a wild roar. With a shake of both legs, one kick kicked the two guys into the cornfield.
Canghu stepped forward and pulled Yunxiao: "Master Hou, don't be afraid, Canghu is here to save you." After speaking, he didn't wait for Yun Xiao to reply. Carrying the clouds, he rushed towards a war horse with a roar. A few guards were about to rush to the rescue, when another round of arrows shot them on their backs.
Yun Xiao was pressed onto the horse's back by the tiger and turned over on the horse. The goshawk next to him had already saddled his horse, and a boxwood bow was already in his hand. The small round shield on his arm caught a crossbow arrow, and a wolf tooth rushed out of the quiver. He didn't even raise his hand to shoot, and one of the guys who rushed over first fell off his horse. The body was submerged in the billowing smoke and dust, and there was no need to think that it must have been trampled into flesh.
"Third child, you escort Hou Ye on his return journey. I'll cover! With that, the second wolf tooth had already raised its hand and shot out.
The guards were blinded, and there was no doubt that the mastermind of this matter was Little Bear. Then why did the two uncles of the Cang family protect the Hou Ye to escape? Is there a bigger conspiracy, or are the two masters loyal? wanted to rescue Yun Xiao, but the bear had already killed.
The guards were helpless, and drew their sabers to fight with the bear.
The tiger protected the clouds, and the goshawk fired arrows from behind. Every arrow was shot with urgency and urgency, either in the eye or in the head. All of them are one-hit moves, and the size of this cavalry team is very small. There were only more than a hundred people, and this pot of arrows was shot out. How can they kill twenty or thirty people, and there are more than a hundred iron guards left to fight against them. Although it is not said to have the upper hand, it is not too numerically disadvantaged.
Soon, the harvest scene just now turned into a sword and a sword, and the farmers scattered and fled. They couldn't figure out why these Han people were fighting on their own. And both sides are dead hands, but the work of tea. The dirt road was already full of corpses, guards and men in black armor.
The horse of the Canghu was like a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow, and it ran towards the Great King City with its feet. Wolf smoke was already burning at the head of the Great King City, and the sound of the horn of "woo" was dull and rapid.
The goshawk kept turning back to shoot at the rebels, but these guys were also from the battlefield. Knowing the power of the goshawk, he tightly protected his head and face with a small round shield. Goshawk had no choice but to start shooting horses, but these were all great horses. All of them are strong, and although the arrows are shot deeply, the muscles of the horses are tense as they run fast. As soon as the arrow entered the flesh, it was encased in strong muscle. Not much blood was shed.
Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, the goshawk once again grabbed an arrow with his backhand but caught a void. My heart sank, and when I looked back, I found that there was not a single arrow in the quiver.
"Third child, take Master Hou back to the city." The goshawk shouted, and drew his saber and pounced on his pursuers. At this time, there was no one guard beside Yun Xiao, and the tiger carried Yun Xiao all the way to the Great King City. He only hoped that there would be no Bear's allies in the Great King City. Otherwise, he and Yun Xiao will be dead.
Goshawk's blood-red eyes were already seeing that the person in charge was his nephew. Gritting his teeth, he rushed to the pursuers with his saber in his hand. Those pursuers also knew that the goshawk was the fourth uncle of Little Bear. Moreover, the goshawk has always been brave in the Yun family's generals, and those rebels were a little worried when they saw him rushing over.
The goshawk, riding alone, suddenly rushed into the army formation of a dozen cavalrymen, and a cloud of smoke and dust defended them. Yun Xiao could only faintly hear the screams and the sound of ice blades colliding.
The goshawk glanced back, and Beanda's tears flowed. A cavalry rushed over, led by Qi Tie. Seeing that the goshawk and Yun Xiao were so embarrassed, they were also taken aback.
"Master Hu, how is Master Hou?" Qi Tie screamed in horror. Yun Xiao is the backbone of everyone, and now the eldest prince's mother has happened. If Yun Xiao hangs up at this time, the entire Yun family's power will be split in an instant.
"Hou Ye is fine, I will escort Hou Ye back to the city. You send a couple of people to pick up the eagle, and he's entangled by a dozen people. Canghu said anxiously.
Those rebels are all guards of the Yun family, and they may not be as good as goshawks in archery. But when it comes to sabers, perhaps the goshawk is no match for some of them. One person rides more than a dozen, and Canghu is very worried about his brother.
Qi Tie took out of the city with five hundred Yun family guards, and after hearing Canghu's words, two hundred cavalry immediately rushed over. Canghu and Qi Tie escorted Yun Xiao and rushed into the Great King City, and the heavy city gate was immediately closed. Even the suspension bridge was pulled up.
Yun Xiao felt like he was going to be torn apart, and the last time he was treated like this was when he first arrived. He was caught by the Hun and ran by the horse's neck. Yun Xiao swore that he would never let people run away on the horse's neck again, it was too damn sinful. And it was unlucky to run once, so this time it broke the goshawk. That's not worth it.
Little bear, little bear, Lao Tzu is benevolent to you. I didn't expect you to treat Lao Tzu like this, Yun Xiao was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Just grab the bear and break him to pieces.
There was a whole night of commotion outside the Great King City, and Yun Xiao paced in the council hall like a tiger in a cage. It was a huge hall, and the air was almost stagnant. It is said that some palace maids and attendants are trembling, and they are walking with their legs between their legs for fear of making a little noise, which angers this marquis.
