Chapter 63 Encountered an ambush
It was about to come to the Lantern Festival, Wu Zhuang led a team of fifty carts and twenty guards to Xinyang. The car was loaded with Wang Xin's second batch of goods, 30,000 pieces of soap, and many daily iron tools. There were more than a dozen people including Lu Fang. Lu Fang got the horses given by Wu Song, and the others also brought a small amount of mules and brought water presses, shovels, hoes and other agricultural tools produced by Wujiazhuang, mainly for the Lu family's own use. You should know that the Lu Fang family is also a big family. As for the wheelbarrow, they were thrown in the Tongda cart. The thing was slow and had a small load, so it was really not suitable for business.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the annual Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is a very important festival in the Song Dynasty. It is necessary to set up lights, play poems, make appointments for lovers, etc. Anyway, it is very grand. The business of Tongda Cars is instantly booming. Tongda Cars in Yunzhou became busy. Some hired cars to go to Quanchengfu, some hired cars to visit Taishan, and some went to Jeju. The shopkeepers' full-time dispatch is generally three to five cars to drive together to facilitate protection.
The convoy to Quancheng had just left, and then another lady and a young man came. There was a maid and a middle-aged man with him.
"Where are the guests going?" asked the team leader in charge of the reception.
"We are going to Quancheng Mansion, are your shopkeepers here?" said the middle-aged man.
The team leader said, "I'm sorry, everyone, the carriage carrying people has been departing for a long time, and now the rest are big trucks that transport goods."
"We have our own carriage and coachman, and we just need to provide escorts." said the middle-aged man.
The team leader went to the back and called someone, and it happened that Wu Song, Wu Yong and others were there.
Wu Song and Wu Yong came to the front hall. When Wu Song saw it, he said in surprise: "It's you." The young master and the lady are not someone else, but Cheng Wanli's children. As for the middle-aged man, he should be a master of internal martial arts, looking at his thin and straight figure.
Ms. Cheng said, "Don't say anything about Wu Dutou. My brothers are going to Quancheng Mansion to attend the annual poetry competition. Everyone Li will also participate. My father is worried about the safety of the journey, so he specially arranged for us to come to Dutou's car dealer to find a few guards."
Wu Yong next to him was complaining that the magistrate's mansion could not send many escorts, so he had to come to the car shop to find escorts, which was clearly to win over the relationship.
Wu Song said: "There are really few guards today. These days, the peak car use periods are so good. I am about to go to Quancheng Mansion to do some business and escort the lady and the young master all the way."
"Thank you so much, I'm sorry." Cheng Wan said.
Wu Song also has important things to go to Quancheng. First, Zhujiazhuang's soap flagship store opened. Wu Song has to go and see it. After the business development, it will cooperate in depth with Zhujiazhuang, so it must maintain good relationships. Second, when going to Quanchengfu, you have to buy a batch of dairy goats. As the name suggests, dairy goats are used for milk production. In this year, there is no milk powder. If the child is born without breast milk, you have to find a milk nurse. However, there are poor families who have money to find a milk nurse. Wujiazhuang also has children who lack nutrition and die. Jia Simin said that one solution is to use dairy goats. As for dairy cows, it is good to produce milk in local scalpers. Breeding is not something that can be completed in three or five years. There are dairy goats in Zhangqiu, and one child can produce 600 to 700 kilograms of milk, which is a good choice.
Wu Song, Luo Ping, Li Kui, Zhang Dadan, Mao Hai, and a group of five people, were still one and two riders, and two carriages from the Cheng family rushed to Quancheng Mansion.
The Cheng family's carriage is more exquisitely crafted than ordinary carriages, with exquisite materials and curtains. The carriage is pulled by two horses. The younger brother rides in a carriage in front and the older sister rides in a carriage behind.
Wu Song and others followed slowly and slowly left Yunzhou City for dozens of miles, with fewer and fewer people on the official road.
Mao Hai said: "There is a tail behind him that has been following him for dozens of miles, and I don't know what the purpose is."
Wu Song said: "Let the carriage accelerate and try what the purpose of this group of people."
The Cheng family's carriage accelerated, and Wu Song and others also accelerated. The horse, who had followed him as if nothing had happened, also accelerated up.
"Luo Ping, take that man down and start with a gentle move." Wu Song said.
Luo Ping got off the horse, took the tiger's lash, and crossed the middle of the road. The man behind him was stunned. Unexpectedly, he still had this kind of fighting style. He pulled out the steel knife he carried with him and rushed over.
Luo Ping was not afraid. No matter what kind of steel knife or steel knife you are, he just patted him horizontally. This guy was knocked down with his sword.
Luo Ping walked over, stepped on the man's chest and said, "Say, where is your companion?"
Before the man could speak, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded, and about thirty black-clad cavalry rushed over.
"Luo Ping, come back and go." Wu Song shouted.
The carriage suddenly accelerated, and the group rushed forward with a quick horse. Li Chengwan of the carriage said, "What's the matter?"
Wu Song said: "Does of men in black came over on horseback. I don't know what happened. The place is open and the terrain is unfavorable. I will fight him when I find a favorable terrain."
At this time, Shandong had a lot of water, and there was a bridge without going far ahead, only the width of two carriages.
"Listen to my command, you two have your carriages waiting across the bridge, and don't move around." Wu Song said.
Although it was the first time Cheng Wan and Cheng Zhi had seen such things, they were people who had seen the world after all, so they were not panicked. The coachman stopped the horse and took out his waist knife to guard it.
Wu Song, Luo Ping, Li Kui, and Zhang Dadan, four of them are in front and the hairy child is behind.
The black-clad cavalry came over, a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Wu Song and others dared to stop.
Wu Song shouted, "Where did the thief come from? Didn't you see the flag of my Tongda Cart House?"
"You are dealing with you. Are you called Wu Song?" said the man in black.
"good."
"It's good that you're right, so as not to kill the wrong person and be tired of your hands and feet." said the man in black.
Wu Song sneered: "If you want to kill me, Wu Song, you have to see if you have the ability."
The man said ruthlessly, and the strong bow in his hand was shot first. The wolf-tooth arrow rushed straight to the man in black. The guy was very flexible and turned his head to avoid it. The wolf-tooth arrow hit the person behind him.
"Attack." The man in black roared and dozens of cavalry rushed forward.
Wu Song and Zhang Dadan shot several arrows in succession, shooting six or seven people, but the bow and arrow were useless and were about to come to his eyes.
Wu Song roared: "Luo Ping, Mao Hai guards the bridge, Li Kui, Zhang Dabing follows me to kill the enemy, let these miscellaneous people see how powerful we are."
"Okay, brother, let's see what I'm from Tie Niu." Li Kui's eyebrows were shaking excitedly. This guy was not afraid, but was excited to kill someone.
The three of them dismounted and rushed into the enemy formation. Wu Song took the lead, and the Mo Dao, which was more than one meter long, killed a black-clad knight, and his entire upper body was cut off.
