Chapter 29: Drawing the Sword to Save Lives (1)
The cold wind is cold, the mud road is blown white, the miscellaneous trees such as elm, willow, mulberry and jujube on both sides of the official road are depressed, and from time to time there are broken branches to blow and break down, in addition to the forest binding them and the carriage riding team of the Marquis of Jin'an, there are more than a dozen ox carts full of charcoal crowded on the official road, and there are many pedestrians on the official road in the afternoon, and the carriage is very slow.
Luxury Mingyue felt that the speed of travel slowed down, and she was tired of waiting in the car, and she lifted the curtain of the car, just saw Lin Lian's thin and cold face, and met his gaze, changing into other girls, maybe she would put down the curtain of the car in shame, Luxury Mingyue just had a slightly charming jade face, avoiding Lin Lian's sight, looking at these men with tall heads and horses on the side of the road, and wondering about their identities. These high-flying horses are even rarer in Jin'an, Eastern Fujian, and the six men on the side of the road actually hold a horse, how can she not be curious?
When she was young, she gave a fierce little mare a hoof, and her mother felt sorry for her, so she asked her entourage to kill the pony, and when her father came back, he slapped her mother twice in front of the servant, and she knew that a good breed horse was more precious than ordinary things in Jin'an.
Lin Jian watched the curtain of the car lift up, and looked at the two faces like flowers and jade revealed in the curtain of the car, the girl's chin was slightly pointed, and she was beautiful, but she was a little green, and there was also some heroism between her eyebrows and eyes; The young woman was as bright as snow, round and jade, her eyes were clear and clear, her eyebrows and eyes were infinitely beautiful, her nose, her lips and her cheeks were all beautiful. Lin Jian also sighed in his heart when he saw it: This woman is so beautiful.
The carriage passed slowly, Zhao Hu and Lin Jingzhong were still staring at the carriage, and Zhao Hu asked in a buzzing voice: "Who is this girl, who is more beautiful than the Seventh Lady?" ”
"The Seventh Lady is not here, be careful to let her hear, I don't want to see you, this woman can't say that she is not as beautiful as others." Lin Jingzhong said jokingly, and when the carriage and the cavalry passed, he said to Lin Jian with a slight surprise, "The matter of the hereditary Jin Anhou of Yongzhen has not yet been reported to the world, and the luxury family swaggered to send envoys to Jiangning, what do they want to do?" ”
Zhou Pu and Wu Qi also frowned slightly, it was enough of a headache to have a Du Rong to deal with, but they didn't expect the luxury family to send these people in openly, and the envoy was likely to be the second son of the luxury family who instructed the robbery in Baisha County behind the scenes, and the situation was becoming more and more complicated.
"It sounds like the luxury family surrendered to the imperial court and sued for peace, but in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the imperial court in the southeast is powerless to fight, and is forced to tear the ground and seal the knighthood to recruit the luxury family," Lin Jian shook his head and sighed, "For the luxury family, it is even more important to serve Jiangning's movements than to serve Yanjing's movements......"
"Are you saying that the luxury family will not settle down after being attached this time?" Lin Jingzhong asked.
"Will the DPRK rest assured that the luxury family will be in Jin'an?" Lin Jian asked rhetorically.
"For more than two hundred years since the founding of the country, there has not been a family like the luxury family to tear the soil and seal the marquis, the three divisions of the Yitong Kaifu, the weight of power, the first-class prince can not be compared, it is not a matter ......of the court not being at ease, but the central has to face more trouble than the luxury family, so it is necessary to temporarily appease the luxury family to free up their hands and feet," Lin Jingzhong said, "This truth is also simple, and when you free up your hands and feet, the center still has to clean up the luxury family." ”
"The luxury family naturally saw through the reality of the imperial court, but they tabooed Li Zhuo, Li Zhuo and tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command always stayed in Dongmin, which also made them breathless, it is better to temporarily return to obedience, so that the center of the imperial court can rest assured that Li Zhuo and tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Li Zhuo will be transferred to Jibei to deal with the Donghu people, so that they can guard Jin and wait for the opportunity; It is impossible for the center to be unguarded against the luxury family, so it is almost a foregone conclusion that Li Zhuo will serve as the secretary of the Jiangning military department and the general of the Jiangning garrison in the southeast, and I heard Gu Wuchen say that Li Zhuo's appointment edict will be issued before the year...... It's just that it's not a question of who will come to the southeast to take charge of the town. Lin Jian sighed slightly and did not continue.
Lin Jingzhong also shook his head and sighed slightly, when he was in the forest, he never thought that he would be so closely related to the major affairs of the DPRK and China.
Lin Tie stepped on the horse, at this time in front of the more than a dozen ox carts transporting charcoal somehow, suddenly there was a leaning on the official road, thousands of catties of charcoal poured down from the car, piled into a black pile, more than a dozen ox carts suddenly became a mess, the entire official road was completely blocked, the convoy of the envoy of the Marquis of Jin An was naturally blocked, and the escort knights all rushed to the front to drive the charcoal ox cart.
"No...... Wu Qi grabbed Lin Lian's horse's head and asked him to look back in the direction of the ox cart.
It is understandable that the ox cart loaded with charcoal is slow, but there are many loose cyclists on the official road, but it is a little strange that they are not anxious at all after the ox cart, Lin Tie They have been paying attention to the convoy of the envoy of the Marquis of Jin An just now, and they did not look at the anomaly of the ox convoy transporting charcoal.
"Everyone get on the horse......" Lin Jian immediately decided, the luxury family has been in turmoil in Eastern Fujian for nearly ten years, and the southeast does not know how many men have died under the knife of the luxury family, and I don't know how many people have died because of the luxury family, although the imperial court has given the luxury family a knighthood, but there are not a few people who hate the luxury family to the bone and kill it quickly, just like Dong Yuan, the governor of Weiyang Mansion, did not hesitate to break with Li Zhuo, the governor of Eastern Fujian, who had the grace of knowing him, and would never agree to Zhao'an luxury family. No matter who wants to assassinate the envoy of Jin Anhou in front of Jiangning Donghua Gate, the six of them can't intervene, the key is that they themselves are riding with swords, and it is easy to get injured by mistake if they don't avoid it, Lin Lian took the reins and said to Zhou Pu, "You bring it to the scene, let's hide away......"
"I will ride a horse......" Lin Jingzhong wanted to protest, his waist was tight, and his thin body was clamped under Zhou Pu's armpit and placed on the horse's back, Wu Qi led Lin Jingzhong's mount, and the six of them rode five horses and led a horse towards the distance, only after walking a hundred and ten steps, the change in front of him suddenly broke out.
Lin Liang Le Ma looked back, and saw that Jin Anhou Jin made most of the guards of the convoy to attract the front to drive the ox cart, and was about to enter Jiangning City, it was indeed the most slack defense of the convoy, it was hard to imagine that someone would be less than three miles away from the Donghua Gate of Jiangning to assassinate, those more than ten people scattered on both sides of the convoy drew their swords and rushed towards the carriage headed by the head, and what was even more surprising was that more than ten people dressed as charcoal carriers who were carrying the ox cart in front of them took out a strong crossbow and stood on the ox cart and shot at the current guard knights. The Marquis of Jin An took the convoy by surprise, and more than a dozen people didn't even have time to pull out their knives, so they became dead spirits under the crossbow, and four or five assassins jumped into the carriage headed by them, and instantly saw a stream of blood flying out of the window.
Lin Jian also succeeded as an assassin, but the next moment an assassin got out of the carriage and shouted: "Luxury Feihu is not in this car...... The assassin also knew very well, jumped into the carriage, and rushed towards the second carriage to find the assassination target of their trip.
The Assassins panicked and rushed to the remaining four wagons.
At this moment, the second carriage suddenly turned around and galloped towards Lin Lian, and when the Assassins saw that the target was hiding in this carriage, they abandoned the other carriages and stared after this carriage. The fastest Assassin grabbed the back wall of the carriage as it sped wildly, and the other Assassins chased after him, while others led the horses to chase after him.
"What should I do?" Wu Qi and Zhou Pu both looked at Lin Lian.
"Save people." Lin Lian's eyes were fixed on the assassin who had bent on the roof of the carriage, and in front of the carriage, in addition to the driver driver, there was also a samurai who was guarding, and the samurai had already drawn his sword and turned to fight the assassin.
"......" Wu Qi and Zhou Pu were stunned, they originally wanted to secretly make a stumbling block to prevent the carriage from escaping, so that the assassin could smoothly assassinate an important person in the luxury family, which was most in line with their wishes, but they didn't expect Lin Jian to save people.
"Eighty percent of the Flying Tigers are probably not in the carriage, but the two women have the courage to attract the assassin with their bodies, don't hesitate, be ready to save people." Lin Lian stared at the direction of the carriage, he only saw his aunt and sister-in-law peeking out of the window just now, although he was not sure if there was anyone inside, but it was less likely that he and his sister-in-law were in the same carriage when he entered the city, and then looked at the chaos in front of him, and the battle was in a mess, and those guards reacted that they gave priority to protecting the fourth seemingly inconspicuous carriage, and only divided twelve or thirteen to ride over to chase the assassin chasing the second carriage, and more guards were killed with the assassin at the front, The dozen or so Assassins chasing the second carriage had yet to respond to the anomaly.
The assassin who was the first to pounce on the carriage fought for his life, and instead of dodging the guard's stab in his left arm, kicked the guard out of the carriage and stabbed the coachman with a short blade, but he did not slow down to cut the coachman's neck, and when he lifted the curtain to kill him into the carriage, he was stunned for a moment.
Wu Qi jumped into the carriage at this time, and only hit the back of the assassin's head with a punch, Lin Jian also jumped into the carriage desperately, and carried the assassin who knocked Wu Qi unconscious into the carriage. Wu Qi was stunned, Kankan pulled the carriage that was about to rush into the ditch, and galloped into the distance, Zhou Pu took Wu Qi and Lin Lian's mount, and also fled far away after the carriage.
Lin Jingzhong pressed Zhou Pu on the back of the horse and was uncomfortable, until he wanted to vomit out the lunch he had eaten, but he could see the situation behind him, and the more than ten assassins who chased him were about to catch up with more than a dozen guards, thinking that as long as they blocked the carriage and stopped the assassins for a moment, they could help the guards save the people in the carriage, why did Lin Jian let Wu Qi drive away, and they also had to escape?
Lin Tie put down the assassin who knocked Wu Qi unconscious, and saw the glamorous young woman in the car take out a short silver makeup knife to stab, snatch the knife in her hand with one hand and throw it out of the carriage, and said: "Madame is too careful, we are just passers-by who help Madame when we see injustice, Madame can't hurt a good person by mistake," and felt that this young woman's mind was difficult to guess, so she couldn't rest assured, and said, "I'm sorry Madam, Lin Lian doesn't want to stab you in the back when you save people......" His eyes stared at the girl, and his hands quickly searched the young woman's body, Make sure she doesn't have any other weapons on her.
The young woman didn't know Lin Tie's identity, so she searched Lin Tie's fast fingers against her body, and there was no ordinary woman's twisting and pinching, she still stared at Lin Tie vigilantly, and said in her mouth: "As long as you save us, the luxury family will be rewarded with generous gifts!" ”
"Don't you dare to be greedy for the generous gifts of the extravagant family, save you, I don't know how many people I will offend." Lin Jian smiled, stared at the young woman again, and searched the girl's body.
Although Lin Bin's body search was very professional, and there was no obscenity/evil meaning, the girl's body was touched by the man, and she scolded with a flushed face: "Dengzi, you actually want to take advantage of me and my sister-in-law, be careful that the luxury family will cut off your hands." The young woman knew that Lin Lian's body search did not mean to be obscene/insulting them, although it was also humiliating to search a man's body, but she could not hold back her voice.
"If Mademoiselle threatens me like this, then I can only hand you over to the assassins." Lin Jian relaxed and sat down, grinning and sitting between the young woman and the girl, stepping on the chest of the unconscious assassin, and letting Wu Qi ride forward in front, just not letting the two women look at the situation outside the car.
