Chapter 282: Raiders of the Lost Ark at Baishawu Part One
[Within Yuncheng County·Baishawu]
In such a small county town, the dawn that the three groups of people were looking forward to was like a belated first bride. Finally, a bright red hijab appeared in the clouds and mist in the sky. This bright and dazzling color shone brightly. As everything in Yuncheng County was covered with a light red glow, the traders who were engaged in small business had already left their homes with their loads of goods, shouting in the streets, setting up stalls, and waiting. The arrival of the first guest of the day brings some different fortunes to this ordinary day.
No matter how you say this day, it is actually no different from any other day. The business shop is open, the children are running to school chasing each other, and the people go out to do their own things. However, it seems peaceful here. And in ordinary days, because of the same car of official silver, the fate of the three groups was deeply intertwined. The sleepless night, uneasiness, running around, these are not all they have paid. The price, what the real price is, at this moment, no one knows except the bloody rising sun.
At dawn, Liao Shi, as the escort general, put on his armor, hung a spear on the back of his horse, and left the Yuncheng County Yamen with fifty officials from the Yamen. With a farewell message, he finally embarked on what he considered to be a promising "official career". This was an opportunity for him to achieve fame, and it was also the first test for his future advancement. Liao Shi felt very excited when he heard Master Wu's promise. Mr. Wu who saw him off was in the same mood, very excited.
At Baishawu on the other side of Yuncheng County, Zang Ao took one last look at Zangjiazhuang and set out on the road with determination. At this moment, he also deceived and led seventy or eighty swordsmen to the predetermined place of Baishawu. As his father Zang Hanzhong said, this place is a very suitable place for an ambush. On both sides of the official road, there are high rock walls with dense trees. Although the area of the rock walls is not long, in the official road The road only winds for dozens of steps on both sides, but for Zang Ao, this is actually enough.
Zang Ao nodded with satisfaction, and placed the men and horses properly in the meadow. The intervals, the number of rounds before and after, the battle plan, and the gesture orders were all arranged uniformly. When everything was settled, the motivations of No. 70 and 80 were Impure people would quietly roam among the grass and trees. From the bright sky to the sun hanging on the branches, Zang Ao lurked in the meadow, looking straight at the direction where Yuncheng County came from, from time to time. Look up at the sun that is hurting your eyes more and more.
Time passed slowly in this patient hunting, and for Liao Shi, who was riding on a war horse, after leaving the bustling Yuncheng County, facing the loess and weeds along the way, it felt like tens of thousands of people. The eye-catching glory of "going out" has long been diluted, like an actor who has encountered a cold scene. There is no vanity to speak of anymore, only the real loneliness and monotony that can no longer be real. At this time, he is separated from those nihilistic and flowery markets. Liao Shi, for the first time, seriously thought about the job he was going to do. He was not too worried about anyone daring to rob him halfway. This direction was away from Liangshan. Every step he took would lead him away from Yuncheng County. One step further away, but one step closer to the government office, the government office will also provide support, so the security issue is not the biggest problem in Liao Shi's mind, but the boredom and boringness of this long escort journey have become his The biggest enemy.
At first, Liao Shi was willing to gallop his horse all the way, wandering back and forth around Guanyin with a long gun in his hand, and loudly lectured the officers, telling them that they would have to fight for 200,000 yuan along the way. He was full of energy and always vigilant. However, after walking for a few dozen miles, Liao Shi was tired of singing a one-man show for his own entertainment. Liao Shi, who was bored in every way, hung his spear back on the back of his horse and rode away lazily. Surrounded by officials.
After walking a few dozen miles, just as the officials were chatting away, they suddenly saw a large tree pole as thick as a hug standing horizontally in front of the official road. The official who was clearing the way had to stop, and a responsible official trotted all the way. Came in front of Liao Shi.
Liao Shi pointed his horse whip forward, and before he could speak, he asked in an official manner: "Why did you stop? What's going on ahead?"
The official responsible for clearing the way bent down slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, there is a broken tree that has fallen down in front of us, blocking our way."
Liao Shi snorted disapprovingly, and said in a very casual manner: "Ask me now, I still think something happened, then go get a few people, move the big tree away, and walk earlier, earlier go home,"
After hearing this, the officer in charge folded his fists and trotted all the way again. He waved to the three officers to come over and pick up the thick tree trunk with him. Just as the four of them were about to move it with difficulty When I was moving the heavy tree pole to the roadside, four arrows were shot out without a sound, hitting the hearts of four people at the same time. The bottom was broken in the soil, and the arrows peeking out of the back shone with a dazzling brilliance in the sun.
Seeing all this, Liao Shi and Guan Cha immediately felt that this was something strange. After looking around, they discovered that where they were now, there were short rock walls on both sides, shaded by green trees. There was no sign of anyone. This was Baishawu. However, this ominous premonition was like a dense ant clan crawling into his heart, biting and leaving countless indescribable tingling sensations. Liao Shi's eyes looked nervously at the movements around him, and sweat was already oozing out from his palms.
"Sir," an officer who ran to the front to check saw that all four people were dead, and their blood had flowed to the ground along with the arrows. This matter of human life made him shout in shock.
However, after the adult shouted, before he could take out the sheath of the simple sword at his waist, he felt a stinging pain piercing his heart, and then he fell heavily on the official road.
Now, the officers and Liao Shi could see clearly that this was indeed an ambush. At that moment, there was no need to wait for Liao Shi to issue any more orders. The officers drew their swords one by one. They came out and looked at the dense forest on all sides with frightened eyes, but not even a shadow of the strong man could be seen.
Zang Ao, who was hiding in the dark, was like a great immortal who could control the fate of the world at will. He manipulated these officials into his palms gracefully. After Zang Ao gave them a breath, he showed a solemn and evil smile, and raised his hands. He raised his head three points and pointed at the officers who were like hot pot ants on the official road. All the swordsmen drew the bows and arrows they had prepared, and the sharp arrows were like countless seducing arrows. Like a ghost, it suddenly appeared from the dense forest and rushed in front of everyone in the blink of an eye, stabbing their hearts and limbs without waiting for them to react.
At that moment, the officials who had been hit by the first round of arrows from the Zang family were completely in disarray. Although there were not many casualties scattered around, the formation was enough to frighten the officials out of their courage. They shot and killed the officials in broad daylight. This is a serious crime that will destroy the family. Except for those strong men with their heads in their belts, they must be crazy gangsters. Liao Shi pulled out the spear and shouted: "Who dares to plot against me? Come out and fight if you have the guts,"
Zang Ao felt like laughing in his heart when he heard this. What the hell is this age? You are still fighting alone. What is being tested now is your brain. When Zang Ao saw that the officials had the intention to retreat, he immediately played a small black chess piece. As soon as the flag was waved, in an instant, seventy or eighty swordsmen were equipped with arrows and strong bows, and one by one they were drawn to the full moon and shot at the frightened officers and soldiers on the official road.
This round, the Zang family used all their fighting power. The arrow feathers, which were as chaotic as locusts, quickly surrounded the officials under the rock wall. No one could escape. As the screams echoed, Most of the official officers were killed or injured in the blink of an eye. Just when Liao Shi saw that the situation was over, he simply changed his mind and was about to abandon these carriages and horses loaded with official money and quickly escape, but he heard countless shouts from the cliffs on both sides. Liao Shi was startled. He looked around and saw countless men in black clothes and masks rushing down from the cliffs on both sides. They all had bows and arrows on their backs and simple knives in their hands, and they came straight towards them with murderous intent. .
Liao Shi looked at this momentum and felt timid, so he patted his horse and ran away. However, before he could run a few steps, he saw a man with several masked men coming from behind. He met Liao Shi face to face and before he could wait, he He feinted a shot to clear the way forward. Zang Ao took the lead and swung his saber horizontally, cutting off the front hooves of Liao Shi's black horse. The black horse lost its front hooves, but its momentum was not reduced, and he immediately killed Liao Shi on it. The stone knocked off the horse.
Zang Ao smiled inwardly as he looked at it, quickly took a step forward, and stabbed Liao Shi on the head. Blood splattered everywhere, and Liao Shi's life was unclearly sealed here.
Just when Zang Ao used Liao Shi's spear to pick up the head of the escorting general and show it to the public, the swordsmen of the Zang family over there were also very agile. Taking advantage of the terrain, they succeeded in rushing and killed all the remaining officials. , the methods were cruel and no one was left alive.
When Zang Ao saw that he had robbed the official silver in less than a cup of tea, he felt very happy and proud. He looked at the silver cars one after another, and his heart was filled with joy. As if he saw the future prosperity of the Zang family, saw Chao Gai's surprise, and seemed to see the horrified and distorted face of Wu Guanguan when he was investigated for dereliction of duty, Zang Ao became even more proud when he thought of this, and took the swordsman away. After tying them up, he quickly shouted: "Quick, quick, bring our carriages and horses over, put the things in our boxes and transport them away quickly." As he said, Zang Ao took the lead and used all his strength to swish his hands Zang Ao's saber slashed at the official lock. With a bang, the golden lock was broken into two pieces. Zang Ao excitedly opened the red box and looked inside. His face suddenly changed. His eyes were stupid and full of horror...
