The general is a great craftsman, also known as the Shaofu. He is one of the Nine Qings. He controls the money. To put it bluntly, he is guarding the emperor's private money. Don't underestimate the emperor's private money. Mountains, seas, land, and profits from salt and iron belong to him.
Yes, from this we can see that he is a hero in his position and is known as the first among the nine ministers.
Yang Qiu is about to be a great craftsman. He is in his forties, and his resolute face shows his strong character. He comes from a wealthy family in Yuyang, and is good at fencing and practicing bow and horse. Because he likes the Legalist school of Shen and Han, he has a strict temperament.
He must retaliate. When he was a boy, a county official insulted his mother. He conspired with dozens of young people. He killed the person who insulted his mother and destroyed his family, so he was famous. As we all know, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. It is said that one filial piety can cover a hundred harms. Not only did he not suffer any harm from the murder of his family,
The punishment he deserved was promoted as a filial and honest person and he entered the official career.
"I didn't expect that Mrs. Yuan would come out to ruin my important affairs. It's really hateful." Cheng Huang, the regular servant, was in his fifties. His face was white and beardless, and his eyes were slightly narrowed. If he had not spoken, he would have been thought to have fallen asleep.
"Who would have thought? In my opinion, none of these Kyoto tyrants are good. If one day I gain power, I will definitely get rid of them." Yang Qiu said bitterly, his voice harsh and sharp, especially harsh.
Cheng Huang gradually opened his eyes, glanced sideways at Yang Qiu, and asked: "Assassin matter..."
"My father-in-law, please be patient, Cai Yong will never reach Shuofang."
"I heard that Gai Jun, a student of Tai Tai, is accompanying me. He has the ability to shoot tigers. You must not be careless."
Yang Qiu said disdainfully: "You're not a little kid, so what's the point?"
"The Bingzhou officials will take care of it. If the assassination fails, let them poison Cai Yong."
Yang Qiu didn't answer the question, he thought it was completely unnecessary.
Cheng Huang waved his hand and said: "I'm tired, you go."
"promise."
Looking at the back of his son-in-law walking away, Cheng Huang's face showed a trace of amusement, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
－－－－－－－－
There are ten servants of the Cai Mansion accompanying this trip. They not only have to escort their master to Shuofang, but also stay there until the master returns. Xu feels that the future is bleak, looking gloomy and absent-minded. Gai Jun asked Gai Yin what if you
As an assassin, how sure were you of killing Cai Yong? Gai Yin didn't even think about answering: "These guards will be defeated at the first charge, and then they will be destroyed suddenly. It will be easy to plot against Cai Yilang."
Gai Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying that you would never leave Cai Yilang's side. Gai Yin promised.
Cai Yong didn't know what they were thinking, and he was already miserable after walking for a long time. He used to go outing with his friends, and his steps were always strong. But he could stop at any time when he got tired from hiking, but now he couldn't.
There are clearly written rules on how many miles you can walk in a day, so you can’t just take a break if you want.
In addition to them, there were more than ten people escorting them along the way. They were all serving civilians. People who have lived in the fields all their lives naturally have no shortage of strength, but they are used to being lazy. No matter how hard they are driven, they can't walk fast. The group did not go fast until dark.
The general will rush to Mengjin.
The servant secretly complained that it was bad luck, so he stayed at Mengjin that night and crossed the Yellow River early the next morning and went straight to Hanoi County.
"Are you really going to wear it?"
Standing in the north of Hanoi County, facing the towering Taihang Mountains, a question came to everyone's mind at the same time.
No one can deny the beauty of the cliffs, the waterfalls, the vast forests, the strange rocks, and the deep pools. However, the road is too steep. Sometimes there is not even a mountain road.
It was a daily routine. Along the way, several large blood blisters appeared on the soles of Gai Jun's feet, which showed how miserable Cai Yong's situation was.
After much anticipation, we finally arrived at Tianjingguan, the northern gate of Luoyang.
"This is a natural hazard."
Gai Jun deeply agrees with Cai Yong's evaluation. The area around Tianjingguan is surrounded by mountains and hills, crisscrossing ravines, and ancient passes. The terrain is extremely steep, especially the ancient Chencang Fortress. What danger is it if it's not a natural hazard?
They were lucky enough to stay one night at Tianjingguan Station. On the second day when they were preparing to set off, they suddenly encountered a heavy downpour. Everyone was overjoyed and could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They secretly prayed that it would rain for a few more days so that their legs and feet could be well restored.
As if I heard their voices, the heavy rain lasted for three full days before stopping.
It has already entered autumn. It has rained for three days in a row, and the forest is quiet, so I feel a bit chilly. This feeling quickly disappears as we travel.
When the red sun was setting, Gai Jun stared at a tall and beautiful mountain peak in front of him. Behind this mountain was the Shangdang Plain. He sighed in his heart that he was finally going out. He then looked back at the endless mountains behind him, feeling lingering fear.
Gai Yin rode his horse forward and handed him the water bag.
Gai Jun unscrewed the stopper and slowly raised his head. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the jungle ahead, his pupils suddenly shrank, shock appeared on his face, and he puffed up his chest and shouted: "Protect Cai Yilang."
Too frightened, causing the sound to become distorted.
Gai Yin's eyes remained on him, and out of his trust in his uncle, he immediately bent down and leaned against the horse's back.
The servants responded extremely slowly, some even looked confused, and soon they paid a heavy price for this.
With a "buzz" sound, several arrows penetrated into the chests of the two servants who were standing in front of Cai Yong. As the two men screamed before they died, the rest of the people were shocked and surrounded Cai Yong.
They formed a group. The officials and civilians had never seen such a formation before. They were so frightened that they turned around and ran wildly, screaming as they ran.
"Crossbow arrows, the other party has a crossbow."
Gai Jun's uncle and nephew quickly looked at each other, and both could see the shock in the other's eyes.
Gai Jun held five arrows in his right palm holding the wall of the bow, and gently held an arrow feather in his left hand. It was a rapid shooting method. After years of practice, five arrows and three seconds were enough. Unfortunately, the opponent would not be as stupid as a wooden man.
Standing in front of him and letting you shoot, but the distance between the two sides is not far, this method is the best. He recalled the position where the opponent just appeared, raised his hand and fired an arrow, and then there was a scream from the forest.
"kill……"
With a cry of killing, more than twenty masked dead soldiers rushed out of the jungle and killed them with light steps.
"Qiang!"
Gai Yin pulled out the blood, and spread like a phoenix emperor's cry, and rushed into the enemy group alone on his horse. Gai Jun stayed still in his position, clasping the arrow and staring at the jungle in the distance, making the crossbowman more than one person and an invisible enemy.
is the most dangerous.
The Gaiyin people took advantage of the momentum of their horses and raised their swords to create a brilliant curtain of blood.
The dead soldier who was at the forefront resisted with his sword. Who would have thought that blood would cut through iron like mud. After the harsh sound of metal and iron, the sword he was holding was cut into two pieces. The same fate as the sword was his body.
A cloud of blood mist burst out instantly, spreading everywhere.
After drinking human blood, the red blade seemed to become more vivid and alluring.
Three long knives came at the same time. Gai Yin kicked the horse's belly, and the horse suddenly moved sideways to the left. The blood on the horse once again drew an arc. The opponent's big head rose into the sky, and a rain of blood spurted out, scattering the grass.
The remaining momentum was not diminished, and he slashed the person who came after him, cutting him open from the left chest to the right hip. Gai Yin was even more powerful, and with a fierce tug on the reins, his mount changed direction and hit the man in the middle with one head. The clang was heard continuously, and the other side died.
Scholars also did not escape death.
Five people were killed in a few breaths, and everyone was waiting to see Gai Yin as straight as a heavenly being.
The leader who was mixed in the crowd let out a loud roar, and the killer suddenly split open and circled from both sides of Gai Yin to kill Cai Yong.
Gai Yin hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and chased after him.
Gai Jun immediately realized something was wrong, pulled the bowstring, and stared ahead. Sure enough, two people stood up in the forest, holding crossbows in their hands, with sinister eyes. It turned out that the other party saw that Gai Yin was brave and invincible, so he wanted to lure him to turn around and chase him, and then used cold arrows.
Gai Yin obviously noticed it, but he chose to believe his uncle.
Gai Jun was more focused than ever before, because one mistake could kill Gai Yin. He let go of his left hand, and a cluster of arrows glowing with green light shot into the heart of one of them. Before the other crossbowman could pull the trigger, the second arrow shot out.
They come one after another and pass by.
Killing two people in a row in an instant is the essence of this rapid fire method.
The dead soldier felt bitter in his heart. Each of them was more powerful than the other. If he couldn't complete today's mission, he might lose his life here.
The opponent was getting closer and closer. Gai Jun abandoned the bow in his hand, pulled out Qing Ming, and attacked Gai Yin from front to back. They relied on the horses on their hips and sharp knives in their hands. Wherever they passed, there were stumps and broken arms, livers and gallbladders exposed, and flesh and blood.
Flying sideways, there is no enemy.
The two men charged and killed repeatedly. The assassins rushed to Cai Yong and only five or six people were left. They were no longer able to move forward. They were forced to form a circle by Gai Jun's uncle and nephew, one on the left and the other on the right.
Gai Jun raised his sword towards each other, and when he was about to speak, a crossbow arrow came at him at a weird angle. He didn't know if there were any crossbowmen in the bushes, but he kept paying attention. How could he let the other party succeed in a sneak attack? He leaned back to avoid the crossbow arrow.
At the same time, his right hand quickly grabbed a short bow and an arrow, propped it up with his feet, and saluted back in the direction of the crossbow arrow.
"Uh-huh..."
The crossbowman in the forest watched helplessly as the tip of the arrow penetrated into his left chest, pinning him to the tree trunk. He tilted his head, with a look of confusion on his face until he died. He clearly saw Gai Jun holding the knife in his left hand, and the opponent
How exactly did you shoot him? With one hand? How is it possible? Even Hou Yi, Yang Youji, and Li Guang could not do it again.
With the serious trouble in his heart being eliminated, Gai Jun straightened up and said to the remaining people: "Your support is gone. Now I give you two choices, surrender or - die!" His tone was so cold that it could freeze into ice.);.
