Chapter Thirty-Two: Prime Minister Wang Sets an Ambush on All Sides
The little eunuch galloped on his horse, like a fish slipping through a net, like a bird out of a cage, like a runaway horse. He ran all the way out of the city gate fifty miles in less than half an hour. The little eunuch raised his eyes and looked around.
It was quiet, with green mountains and blue water. Turning to the left on the hillside was dense forest. So I thought more carefully and quietly drove my horse into the mountain and hid in the jungle. Then I tied the horse to a tree and turned around to look carefully at the people passing by on the road.
Traces of pedestrians.
Within a moment, a dozen horses came galloping like lightning. When they reached the corner of the Little Eunuch, they stopped suddenly, raised their hands and raised their foreheads, and stopped to look around.
There was no movement for a long time, and the leader said:
"This boy's horse is fast, he must have run far away." After saying this, the leader raised his hand.
Immediately, dozens of horses drove away.
The little eunuch broke out in a cold sweat, as expected: the old thief has put so much effort into himself! In terms of strength comparison, these dozen strong thieves are completely inferior to him. The problem is that if you kill these few, old thief
There will be more follow-up troops. He can't support it alone. How many people can he kill? Fortunately, he said he was heading south. It is unknown whether there are any ambush in the north. If he returns to the capital, it will be relatively safer. There will be no turning back when he fires his bow.
Can a good horse turn back to eat grass? Going back like this, not only the old thief Wang will laugh at him, but the stupid emperor brother may also say that he can't find a good place to play! The little eunuch thought for a long time and felt that the direction of progress could not be revealed for the time being, so he simply went with
The old thief was tossing around for a while. The young eunuch made up his mind, saddled up his horse, and headed south quickly.
Just after walking about four or five miles, I collided with the group of people just now. Those people turned back without seeing anyone. The little eunuch passed through them as if there was no one around. After walking for more than ten steps, he turned back.
ask:
"Brothers, is the road ahead easy?"
"Good go, good go, hehe!" It was the boss-like person who spoke just now.
"Excuse me, where are you going?" the little eunuch asked again.
"Go south, go south, hey!" The same boss said.
"How can we go north from the south?"
"Oh, that's what happened," the boss was clearly looking for words, "A guy lost something and wanted to go back and look for it."
"What is it that is so important that so many people go back to look for it?"
"It's nothing important. Forget it. I won't look for it anymore." The leader greeted and said, "Brothers, I can't find anything anymore. If it's lost, it's lost. Let's continue on our way! We happened to be with this big brother, and everyone
Be a companion and have someone to take care of you along the way."
This group of men whirred and turned the horse's head again.
"What business do you have to go to the south?" As they were walking on the road, the little eunuch deliberately talked to Chaer.
"Let's go buy a horse for the emperor," the leader replied without thinking.
"It turns out we are from your family, so disrespectful!" The young eunuch bowed his hands to the group.
"It's easy to talk, but it's just a matter of eating! What about you, brother?" It's usually the boss who speaks.
"I'm going to visit relatives. There is an old aunt in the south that I haven't seen for more than ten years. I want to visit her."
"Brother, your accent sounds like you are from the north. Why do you have relatives in the south?" the boss said.
"It's my aunt's business to marry abroad. If you go to buy a horse for the emperor, why go south? Haven't you heard that horses come from the south?"
The boss said nonchalantly: "I took the opportunity of buying a horse to go out and play around. After we have fun, we will talk about buying a horse."
The little eunuch smiled and said: "The money the emperor bought for the horse became your travel expenses. Are you brave enough?"
The leader blushed and said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, buying a horse is just an excuse, but I'm really looking for someone."
"Looking for someone, who are you looking for?"
"Find a eunuch."
"Why are you looking for a eunuch?"
"The people in the prime minister's house have sent word that the eunuch must be found and killed, leaving no one alive." When the boss said this, his eyes kept glancing at the young eunuch's face, as if he was trying to catch a turtle in a urn.
.
"What are you looking at my face? I'm not a eunuch." The little eunuch said with a smile.
"Brother," the leader said, "to tell you the truth, we followed you as soon as you left the city gate. We have never seen that eunuch, but from the looks of it, you look exactly like him. So we followed you.
You, one of ten, can't run away if you want to. Well, we won't embarrass you. Since you are a eunuch, you definitely don't have that kind of thing. If you get off your horse and pee, if you pee standing up, the urine will spread out two feet.
Just leave and nothing will happen to our family."
The little eunuch smiled and said: "What's the problem? You don't have to dismount, I'll pee for you to see."
After the little eunuch said this, he passed the gun to the saddle bridge, crossed his right leg across the horse's back, lifted up his robe and started to release the water, and then pushed it out to a distance of about ten feet.
When the dozen or so strong men saw this, they immediately looked at each other and didn't know what to say. The leader refused to comply and kept insisting, saying:
"Brother, it's not that we are unreasonable. Even so, why don't you take off your pants and let us see clearly so that we can have an explanation when we go back? Haven't you heard that officials can't help themselves?"
The little eunuch reprimanded: "Fuck you! You asked me to pee, and I peed for you to see. Don't you think that a man with no goods can go so far? You asked me to take off my pants, and you won't go home.
Ask your dad to take off his pants!"
The boss lost his mind and cursed: "Hey, you look like that dog eunuch. I don't know where you got a peeing household thing to come out? I have an explanation. I would rather kill you by mistake than let it go. I asked you to take off your pants."
I've saved you face, but do you think it costs your life or your face?"
The little eunuch said: "What, you will kill me if you don't take off your pants? Are you too unreasonable? Come here and try it, boys? Which one will go first, or all of them?" The little eunuch relied on his strong martial arts skills, and nothing in his house was bright.
These people naturally knew that if he was really a young eunuch who had served as a military marshal and had unparalleled martial arts skills. He had captured several female generals and shot an old Chanyu blind, how could any of them be their opponents? There was an older and stronger man who was afraid of trouble.
If the fight really broke out, they would suffer a loss, so they tried to smooth things over by saying:
"Brother, please calm down. Don't be offended when our eldest brother says something wrong. Everyone has seen that you are not a eunuch. Why is there any need to take off your pants like this? I think it's okay. Don't cause misunderstanding. We are on our way."
The leader was a head of a hundred households, and because of his ability, he did not take the young eunuch seriously. He walked over with a machete in his hand, half as long as not short, and said:
"Brothers, get out of the way and let me see this lottery man's methods!"
The little eunuch hated being called to draw people the most in his life. He didn't want to care about it. Hearing his arrogance, he secretly came up with bad ideas. When the boss approached, he didn't say anything. He held a gun with one hand and stabbed the boss when he was distracted.
Seeing that the little eunuch's attack was too fast, he couldn't avoid it, so he turned around and exposed his back. The little eunuch turned his gun down and stabbed the leader's butt directly. He just heard "
"Ouch!" With a sound, more than half a kilogram of meat on the leader's butt was pulled out - the tip of the little eunuch's spear was barbed. The leader's machete fell to the ground, and he rolled off the horse.
The little eunuch's peeing posture didn't change just now, and he said with a smile: "Is there anyone else who wants to lose weight?"
These people knew they were no match, but whoever dared to step forward dismounted and bowed, saying:
"Good man, grandpa, all the faults are the fault of the young ones. I offend you, old Shenwei, and I hope you will not be as knowledgeable as the young ones."
The little eunuch said: "It's polite to say this. Well, I have something to do and I won't bother with you anymore. I'm leaving!"
After that, the little eunuch passed the leg, whipped his horse, and walked away.
This group of people suffered a loss, and it was hard to explain when they got back. They were afraid that the little eunuch would get angry and cause trouble when they got closer. After bandaging a little, they had no choice but to put their heads back on the horses and follow the little eunuch at a distance.
