Chapter 2596 Unfulfilled Wish
Meng Hong also specially told the leading Baihu: "Ah Qian, you must handle it for me. If it doesn't work well, you don't have to come back. Just give the weapons, armor, and military badges to the dead men under your command and bring them back. I'll do it." No waste here.”
Qian Baoshun patted his forehead and said, "Don't worry, sir. If this matter doesn't work out, I'll chop off my head and bring it back to you!"
Meng Hong said disgustedly: "You are not a beauty, why do I want your head? Remember, don't be careless. The Yue family is a wealthy family and they raise dead soldiers. They are not easy to win."
Qian Baoshun straightened his face and said, "Yes, I will remember it, sir. Don't worry."
After asking Meng Hong for a batch of weapons, he led his soldiers back on horseback. After galloping for a long time, they set up two ambushes in a valley from Tong'an Mansion to the capital, and waited for them to cross home and fall into a trap.
And Meng Hong was right to remind him that the Yue family did not eat vegetarian food, and the trap set by Qian Baoshun and the others was broken... The dead soldiers of the Yue family ran in front in a carriage loaded with stones. Because of the heavy weight of the stones, the three carriages The trap will be triggered as soon as you run through it.
Bang bang bang!
The carriage stepped on the air and rolled sideways. The dead man driving the car jumped down and landed safely. He was unharmed and shouted: "There is an ambush!"
After hearing this, Commander Yue hurriedly shouted: "Iron shields guard the master's chariot, poison arrows are ready to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!" The dead soldiers of the Yue family immediately took action, with iron shields like walls, protecting the carriages of Mr. Yue and Yue Zhen into an iron house. Not to mention the sharp arrows, the wind could hardly blow them in.
"Baihu, you missed it, what should we do now?" Fan Zongqi from the Dead Soldiers Camp said towards Qian Baoshun.
Qian Baoshun glared at him: "Why are you yelling? I know I missed it."
He raised his hand and patted the back of his head a few times, and quickly said: "Withdraw."
What, are you too cowardly to withdraw now? Don't hold on any longer?
"Hundred households, don't withdraw too quickly, otherwise Master Meng will kill us if he finds out. How about we let out another wave of arrows and try to put up a fight?" Fan Zongqi suggested sincerely.
Qian Baoshun scolded: "What a fart, arrows cost nothing? You have to use them sparingly... If you miss a hit, you have to run. Save your life and then plan your next action. Stop talking nonsense and retreat first. Hurry up." Walk, walk, walk.”
"Yes." The soldiers of the Death Soldier Battalion hurriedly ran away, but in order to conceal themselves from others, they dropped a few long arrows with rebel markings when they left, making it look like they were roving rebels trying to steal money.
"Brothers in the valley, we have seen you, come out and talk!" Commander Yue raised his knife and pointed at a forest that was the best place to hide people and shouted.
However, whoever talks to you has already run away.
Commander Yue waited for more than a quarter of an hour, but when no one responded, he asked the dead soldiers of the Yue family to search the forest.
It was almost an inch-by-inch search, and it was necessary to search the entire range of the big stone bow. Because we were afraid of people hiding in the woods and shooting arrows, searching the range of the big stone bow was an iron rule that did not change when every noble family was assassinated.
It took a full two hours to complete the search.
"Master, these are the sharp arrows of the rebels that were found. It should be that the fleeing rebels saw our luxurious convoy and wanted to rob our property." Commander Yue presented the sharp arrow to Master Yue.
On a hot day, Yue Zhen stayed in the carriage for two hours, sweating profusely, and his hair was almost rotten. When he heard this, he finally couldn't help but became angry, pushed open the iron shield blocking the door, and said angrily: "Get out of the way! "
The dead soldiers quickly took away the iron shield.
She hurriedly got out of the car and rushed over to scold Commander Yue angrily: "You wasted two hours and only found a few broken arrows. Not even a single rebel was caught. This is how you do your job!"
Commander Yue was scolded in public again. His face was very upset, and he was also dissatisfied in his heart. He did not dare to resist. He lowered his head and apologized: "Miss, please forgive me. It's my subordinate's incompetence in doing things."
Master Yue Yue became angry and scolded Yue Zhen: "That's enough. The main task of Yue Commandery is to protect us from harm, and the second is to catch the escaped thieves."
After scolding, he stopped talking to Yue Zhen and looked at Commander Yue: "You have worked hard, but you still have to work harder. We will immediately send people to check the land three miles away. If it is safe, we will set off."
Lest there be another ambush ahead, which would kill them.
"Yes." Commander Yue felt better after hearing this, and sent ten dead soldiers on horseback to explore the way forward: "The rest of you, please continue to be on guard in case the rebels turn around and attack again!"
Then he said to Yue Zhen: "Miss, please get back on the carriage, otherwise if there is a rain of arrows, the lady will be hurt."
Yue Zhen was very angry after hearing this, but after being scolded, she finally regained some sense and knew that she still needed Commander Yue's protection and could not offend this man for the time being.
So she nodded and said: "Commander Yue is right, I was just ignorant, please don't worry about it, Uncle Yue."
Commander Yue was flattered and said hurriedly: "The eldest lady has spoken harshly. The subordinates are slaves and should be punished by the master for not doing things well."
Yue Zhen smiled, turned around and got on the carriage, but he was already thinking about supporting the deputy commander Yue Gang to replace Commander Yue... Yue Gang is the son of Aunt Yue, and he is more obedient to her.
Grandma Yue was also in pain. When she saw her getting on the carriage, she immediately handed her a cup with a few fresh mint leaves in it: "Miss, use two cool leaves to relieve the heat."
Yue Zhen nodded, picked up the cool leaf gracefully, put it into his mouth and sucked it in. A wave of coolness hit his forehead, and Yue Zhen finally felt better.
Then he looked at Aunt Jing who had been sitting in the car with his eyes closed, frowned slightly, and said: "Aunt Jing is really good at it. There was an assassination outside, so forget it if you weren't scared. I stayed in the carriage for two hours. , only a little sweat appeared on my forehead, and the clothes on my back were still dry."
Then he asked with a smile: "How did Aunt Jing do it? But what secret ancient medical skills did she use?"
You are here to teach me medical skills. What do you want to do with such great skills? !
Aunt Jing finally opened her eyes, looked at Yue Zhen, and said calmly: "Miss, you are over-praised. This is not a medical skill, it is just a breathing method for diving. Breathing slowly can make the blood flow slowly, so that you can resist the heat." Invasion."
Yue Zhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and asked, "Aunt Jing, can you still dive? Could it be that you were originally from a family of fishermen, and then you went to Junshan Monastery to practice meditation?"
Aunt Jing was invited from Junshan Temple by the Yue family. Other than that, I only know that Aunt Jing is the only daughter of a pharmacy. Aunt Jing and the child in her belly were poisoned to death. After Aunt Jing overheard this, she burned down the entire drug store, then escaped, and eventually had a miscarriage and was rescued.
After she recovered from her illness, she went to the mountains to collect valuable medicinal materials. After repaying the kindness of the family, she saw through the world of mortals and went to Junshan to observe and practice Qing Dynasty. Then she became famous for her medical skills.
Aunt Jing said: "My maternal grandfather's family is from the south and lived on the river, so I was able to learn this diving breathing method."
After all, in order to prevent Yue Zhen from asking further questions, he taught her this breathing method.
After Yue Zhen practiced for a quarter of an hour as Aunt Jing said, the sweat on his body was reduced, and the feeling of being out of breath was gone. He smiled and said: "Aunt Jing is really capable, thank you very much."
Aunt Jing nodded: "You're welcome, Miss. This is my duty."
After hearing this, Aunt Yue felt a little uncomfortable. When it comes to politeness, Jingsheng is really polite... This kind of politeness is very dangerous and will not fit in with the Yue family at all. If the Yue family encounters a disaster, Jingsheng may abandon his master. And run.
Aunt Yue really guessed it right, Aunt Jing really wanted to run away, but she was not afraid of death, but felt that Yue Zhen was not good, and did not want to waste time teaching such people... She came out to fulfill her wish, I really can’t waste too much time with Yue Zhen.
