Chapter 85 Entrustment
In fact, shortly after Chen An left Chailing, the Chuzhou Gongwei Department, who realized the seriousness of the situation, immediately informed the capital and stated that the other party might rob prisoners halfway and must be strictly prevented. If possible, it is best not to easily conflict with the other party.
Chen An's strength is obvious to all, but the question is that the Dali court will surrender to the threat of a rude?
Therefore, the guards escorted Tang Zhiyao back to Beijing were equipped with the most elite knights, and even carried the battlefield's killing weapon and crossbow. As long as Chen An really dared to block the road and rob the prisoner, then don't blame them for killing each other on the spot.
"Is the person who came from Chen An of Xuanzhou?"
Huo Ping, the commander in charge of commanding this guard, had already read the investigation files about Chen An, and even knew about the massacre of Cuishan Lake Villa outside Chailing not long ago. Huo Ping, as a general family, admired such an unparalleled and arrogant character, but his unruly and arrogant temperament undoubtedly made people feel strong disgusted and rejected.
Especially when he heard from the Gongwei Department that if the daughter of the criminal Tang Zhiyao unfortunately died, he said that it would cause a bloody storm in the capital. Such a arrogant style made Huo Ping feel like he would kill him. It would be a disaster for such a lawless person to stay in the world!
"What advice do you have?"
Chen An immediately rushed with a gun, looking at the guards waiting in front of him with a cold face.
"You want to rob the prison?"
Huo Ping asked without hesitation.
"I just want to know, even if Tang Zhiyao is guilty, what is his daughter guilty? Why did she be implicated innocently?"
Chen An pointed his spear suddenly at the suffering little girl in the prison car behind the guard and said sternly.
"Since ancient times, we have been implicated in the great crime of the nine clans. If you want to blame, you will blame her for being born in the wrong family and carrying a shameless old father who sells the country and seeks honor!"
Huo Ping snorted coldly and said righteously.
"I have no choice but to commit crimes to it! I have never colluded with enemies and treason. All of this is the false accusation and persecution of the old thief Kong Lingming..."
Tang Zhiyao, who was imprisoned in the prison car, woke up at some point. After hearing Huo Ping's words, he immediately stood up excitedly and grabbed the wooden railing and shouted injustice.
"Shut up!"
As a result, someone immediately took out a gun beside the prison car and knocked Tang Zhiyao to the ground.
Chen An didn't care about Tang Zhiyao's life or death, but with the style of these guards, the scene that happened just now may not have not appeared on the little girl. When he thought about this, he could no longer control his emotions.
"You have nothing to do with Tang Zhiyao if you want to kill or cut him! I just need to take his daughter away!"
He held the spear tightly and pointed it at Huo Ping, and blue veins appeared on the back of his hand.
"Bold! How could the criminals in the court be taken away by you?!" Huo Ping immediately said furiously. "I will give you a last piece of advice. If you don't let the road be opened, I will not forgive you!"
"Just you want to kill me too?"
After saying that, Chen An yelled with his eyebrows and eyes wide open, and then rode his horse to charge towards the other party without hesitation!
"Shoot the arrow! Shoot him to death!"
Seeing that Chen An actually came up with the initiative, Huo Ping quickly raised his saber and pointed forward. The three crossbows beside him immediately made a sound of bowstrings that penetrated the clouds and cracked the stones. In an instant, three arrows shaped like javelins made a sharp roar and shot at Chen An.
When Huo Ping ordered the arrow to be shot, Chen An suddenly jumped high from the horse's back without waiting for the arrow to hit him, and the three arrows shot at him instantly nailed the war horse under his crotch to the ground. The tragic situation was indescribable. If it was shot on a person, there was absolutely no possibility of survival, even Chen An was no exception.
After a round of arrows, Huo Ping divided half of the guard knights to cover up. As soon as Chen An landed, he bumped into a large number of knights attacking towards him.
Faced with the surging cavalry torrent, Chen An rushed left and right through the space of the cavalry charge, and stabbed seven or eight cavalry to overturn their horses. After all the cavalry ravaged like a strong wind, a corpse suddenly fell on the ground.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Unexpectedly, the three crossbows on the opposite side were filled in the gap, and when the cavalry completed the charge and spread left and right, the sound of the shaking bowstrings sounded again.
With such a close distance, it was too late even if Chen An reacted quickly.
He flew sideways, and although he tried his best to avoid the two deadly arrows, he did not avoid the last arrow shot at different angles.
At the critical moment, he used the iron spear in his hand to block the thick arrow, but the powerful kinetic energy generated by the arrow directly flew him more than ten meters away. Not only did the iron spear in his hand bent seriously, but even the countless wood chips that were broken after the arrow exploded were inserted into his body, and the wood chips sputtered on his face almost blinded one of his eyes.
Chen An couldn't help but spit out blood and struggled to stand up tremblingly from the ground.
Immediately, Huo Ping sent the last guard cavalry to rush towards him.
He roared to the sky, then held up his curved iron spear and threw it forward to the position of a bed crossbow.
In an instant, the iron spear penetrated the body of a cavalry like a meteor and quickly fell on a bed crossbow that was urgently loading arrows. The violent impact immediately exploded the crossbow, and several soldiers who controlled the crossbow were seriously injured.
Chen An drew his long sword and flew forward, kicked a sudden knight away with one kick, and then snatched the opponent's war horse. While the other knights had not yet reacted, Chen An directly waved his long sword and slashed left and right to kill more than ten knights, and then rode his horse to face the first team of knights who had returned from counterattack.
When Chen An and the cavalry were fighting each other in a difficult way, the remaining two bed crossbows that had been filled were unable to aim and shoot. If they accidentally hurt their own people, they would undoubtedly seriously damage their morale.
Seeing that Chen An became more and more brave as he fought, and the cavalry chasing him were all in a mess, Huo Ping could no longer help but order the soldiers who controlled the crossbow to shoot Chen An to death without distinguishing the enemy!
Unfortunately, Chen An, who has been on guard against shooting on the bed, will not give the other party a second chance to hit him.
The two arrows were naturally lost, and Chen An took advantage of this opportunity to attack Huo Ping.
At this moment, Huo Ping had few guards left, and it was basically impossible to resist Chen An head-on.
Unexpectedly, Huo Ping turned his horse's head and ran towards the prison car that was imprisoning the little girl. He saw that he planned to use the little girl's life to threaten Chen An.
"You dare!"
Huo Ping's actions were naturally not concealed by Chen An, but he was still a hundred steps away from the other party and could not stop him at all, so he simply decisively threw the long sword in his hand at Huo Ping.
Hearing Chen An's roar, Huo Ping subconsciously glanced at the other party, but he saw a long sword flying over, which scared him so much that he almost lost his soul. His body instinctively raised the knife to block his chest.
A harsh metal collision sounded. Although Huo Ping successfully blocked the long sword thrown by Chen An, the long sword in his hand also flew out.
At this time, Chen An arrived in time, flew and rushed over and hugged Huo Ping off the horse.
After the two rolled on the ground several times, Chen An hit Huo Ping with an uppercut and instantly knocked him out.
"Show mercy in the hero!"
Just as Chen An was about to end Huo Ping's life, Tang Zhiyao's panicked and anxious dissuasion suddenly sounded in his ears.
Chen An was stunned for a moment, and then shattered Huo Ping's throat with a punch.
"It's over..."
When Tang Zhiyao saw Chen An killing Huo Ping, he immediately collapsed in the prison car and muttered to himself.
When the court envoy was intercepted, even if the murderer had nothing to do with Tang Zhiyao, he would not be able to clear his suspicion and charges. Once the court pursued him, they would have nowhere to escape.
Chen An walked silently to the prison car that was imprisoning the little girl, and removed the wooden railing with bare hands. He stretched out his hand to carry the dirty and sloppy little girl into his arms.
Fortunately, the little girl's breath was slightly weak and she had no symptoms of colds and fever.
"Um--"
Perhaps because she noticed something strange, the little girl slowly opened her misty eyes. When she saw Chen An's hideous face with blood flowing, she once thought she was in a dream.
"Uncle, it turns out it's you... Yaoyao dreamed of you again..."
"This is not a dream."
Chen An pinched the little girl's nose and said.
"It's not a dream...wuwuwu..." The little girl came to her senses, and her eyes were immediately filled with crystal tears. She raised her hands and put them around Chen An's neck, and she cried loudly without any scruples.
"Uncle, I miss you so much. You finally came back to save Yaoyao. Do you know that many people came to capture Yaoyao and her father a few days ago? Do you know how scared Yaoyao was at that time..."
"Don't worry, all the bad guys who caught you are dead."
Chen An hugged the little girl and looked around. Shortly after he killed Huo Ping, the remaining soldiers all fled in groups.
"Mr. Tang, what are your plans in the future?"
He walked to the prison car that was imprisoning Tang Zhiyao and said calmly. After all, she was the little girl's father. Even if he wanted to take the little girl away, he would tell the other party what he said.
"Me? Hehe..." Tang Zhiyao, who was disheveled, no longer had the majesty of the day. He leaned against the wooden railing of the prison car and looked at Chen An's daughter with his head tilted. "No matter what, I will go back to Beijing to meet His Majesty to declare his grievances and cleanse me of cooperating with the enemy and treason. Otherwise, I will have no face to see the ancestors of the Tang family again when I go to the underworld!"
"Yaoyao can't go back with you."
Chen An knew that Tang Zhiyao's return to Beijing would definitely be a life-and-death road, and he would never let the little girl follow him to die!
"Thank you... I'll ask you to take good care of Yaoyao from now on."
Tang Zhiyao shook his head with a wry smile, and a trace of old tears secretly passed by the corners of his eyes.
"Uncle! Uncle... don't leave my father, okay?! I don't want to separate from my father..."
The little girl in her arms couldn't help but struggle and cried when she heard the conversation between them.
Chen An slapped the little girl with just a palm. He just nodded at Tang Zhiyao, and then walked towards the war horse that stopped beside him without looking back.
"Brother Chen!"
Behind him, Tang Zhiyao suddenly shouted.
Chen An stopped.
"The ancient Langshan Mountain in Yanzhou is located along the river. If you encounter a large-scale search by the imperial court, you can take Yaoyao there to live there temporarily to avoid disaster..."
