Chapter 39 Escape

The bodies were dragged out, and many people were stuck in several arrows. These people died unjustly. The fat sheep, who thought they could be captured, suddenly turned into a tiger. Who knew that they would be ambushed on their territory?

Some people have not died yet, and the guards have made up for it without hesitation. They cannot save these people. It is better to let them suffer less. Speaking of which, these people should be considered citizens of the Sui Dynasty, but they have already taken the evil path. For example, these people who came out to ambush basically have lives on their hands, and killing them is not unfair.

"Zheng, Zheng." Several sounds of weapons were heard, and a figure suddenly flew under the corpse and rushed towards a guard. Fortunately, the guard had already expected that there might be a living person hidden under the corpse. He remained highly alert, so he did not let the other party succeed.

However, this man's martial arts were obviously better than the guard. Although the guard was ready, he was still killed by this man step back step by step. The man fought with the guard several times and saw that he could not kill the guard immediately. Several people around him surrounded him. He was very anxious and quickly turned over and jumped onto an empty horse, and ran away when he beat the horse. Everyone was caught off guard and was actually rushed out of the siege by him.

A "buzz." bowstring trembled, and a long black arrow rushed straight to the back of the person who was running away. The man twisted his body as if he had eyes behind him. The long arrow that had originally shot into his back was shot under his trunk. With a loud bang, blood splashed, and the man's body shook, but he did not fall off his horse.

"Swish, Swish" several long arrows shot over, but the man had already run out of the range, and the long arrow fell behind him weakly.

Yang Yong put away the longbow in his hand and ordered hatefully: "Chasing, you must never let that person escape to the official road."

Everyone was checking the body just now, but Yang Yong shot the arrow in time when he had time. Unexpectedly, he was still escaped by the other party. If this person was asked to escape, then this ambush would become meaningless.

Liu Hu roared first and chased after him. The guard who had not stopped the enemy from escaping just now also turned over to the horse with shame, and then chased him out. Yang Yong was afraid that there were not enough people, so he ordered the five people to go up and chase him together. The enemy in front had turned a corner and disappeared in front of everyone.

When they escaped, everyone felt like they were pressing up to a hill in their hearts. They had to hope that Liu Hu and others could chase the man. However, they had to continue to do what they should do. The remaining people continued to check the bodies. Sure enough, several enemies pretending to be dead were found in the dead bodies. However, they were far from the ability of the first person. After a few confrontations, they were killed by the guards and threw them into the pit.

The big pit in the middle of the road is actually not deep. If the fallen people stand, they are almost parallel to the big pit, but there are many sharp wooden stakes inserted diagonally inside. As long as they fall down, it is difficult for people and horses to have a chance to survive. They are too lazy to check the guards in the pit. They just count the number of people, and throw the bodies into the pit and will be buried together later.

"Your Highness, the inspection has been completed, and there are ninety-eight bodies in total."

Yang Yong nodded, originally shot and killed one person, plus the person who had just escaped, and if the two servants of Yuwen Yuan didn't lie, no one else escaped: "Buried."

"Yes." Dozens of guards took action together. Half a quarter of an hour later, the entire pit was filled and everyone flattened the soil. Few people walked here. After more than ten days, when the new soil leader drafted it, no one would suspect that nearly one hundred corpses were buried under the road.

Xing'er and Mei'er's two girls were sitting in the carriage with a pale face. This was the first time they had seen a murder, and there was a scene where corpses were everywhere. They had vomited several times. Although the corpses were covered, the scene still emitted a strong smell of blood.

The sunshine in the forest is getting less and less, and the sky is already a red color, and the sun has begun to set. Although it is summer now, it will be about half an hour from the sun set to the real darkness. If they don’t get out of the forest quickly, they can only spend the night in the woods tonight.

"Young Master, let's leave here soon, okay?" Xing'er was not as arrogant as before. Her face was pale and looked pitiful. Yun Mei'er next to her also raised her face, with a pitiful look on her face.

Yang Yong felt soft when he saw it. He originally came out this time and was more of a game with the two, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing: "Okay, let's go back to the official road first."

Now that time has passed so long, Liu Hu and others have not returned yet, I am afraid that the man will escape. In fact, no matter whether Liu Hu can chase the escaped man, this Houtu Niangniang Temple will definitely not be able to go to. Of course, it is better to go back to the official road and make plans.

The guard quickly put the carriage back on again. The escort who was chasing the carriage shouted, and the carriage slowly started, and then moved faster and faster towards the direction of the official road.

Halfway through the way, Liu Hu brought six people back dejectedly. Looking at Liu Hu's expression, Yang Yong had a bad premonition: "Why, I haven't chased you?"

Liu Hu jumped off his horse and fell to the ground: "Your Highness, your subordinates are incompetent and cannot catch up with him, so he still let the man run away."

"Run." Lu Mulin was anxious: "You seven of you chased a wounded person and let him run away. Do you know how much trouble this person will cause us when he runs? If your Highness has something to do, your ten heads will not be enough to cut."

Liu Hu lowered his head and did not dare to tell the difference. The man ran for a while and was familiar with the road. However, he was injured on his body, so Liu Hu could only pull the man closer to an arrow and shoot several arrows at him. It was obvious that the man was hit, but after the man gritted his teeth and turned into the woods, Liu Hu and others had to slow down. After three or two turns, the other party was gone. Seeing that it was getting dark and there was no one else, Liu Hu had to return.

Yang Yong stopped Lu Mulin and said complaining: "Okay, this matter is no longer redeemable. Let's think about what to do, right?"

Although Yuwen Cheng really wanted to establish a good relationship with the Li family in Longxi, he was busy these days. Yuwen Xin suddenly ordered him to pay attention to the prince's movements. Once he was sure, he would expose the two thousand secretly trained troops to control the prince. Although Yuwen Cheng did not think that the prince would enter his jurisdiction, he was still prepared for any trouble, so he had to neglect the young master Li.

On that day, Yuwen Cheng was also in the yamen to handle official duties. He did not return to his mansion until dark. When it was time to eat, he could not see Yuwen Yuan's figure. Yuwen Cheng couldn't help but say to a housekeeper: "Go, call the young master."

The housekeeper quickly replied, "Master, the young master has been out since early in the morning and has not come back yet."

"This beast didn't return late last night, and I don't know when I will be able to return today. There are more than a dozen wives and concubines at home, so I still don't care." Yu Wencheng cursed, but didn't care. It is common for his son to stay at night.

Hearing the master scolding his own son and beast, the servant of Yuwen's mansion quickly lowered his head and did not dare to laugh out loud. Yuwen Cheng's wife refused and put the chopsticks on the table: "Yuan'er is a beast, what are you?"

Yuwencheng had to shrank his head and stopped talking. His wife's surname was Cui, and she was still from the Cui family of Boling. The Cui family is still a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Now the Cui family is married to the royal family. The daughter of the contemporary head of the Cui family has been betrothed to the third prince Yang Jun as a concubine. The Cui family has been further promoted. Cui family has always been jealous. Although it is not an authentic legitimate descendant, it has kept Yuwen Cheng tightly. Even Yuwen Yuan is the only one who is not allowed to take a concubine.

The housekeeper beside him said cowardly: "Go back to the master, madam, the young master is not going to a brothel for a banquet today, but accompanied Mr. Li from Longxi to the Temple of the Holy Mother. It will take several days to come back."

"Accompanying Mr. Li? If I hadn't been there on the first day, this little beast..." Yu Wencheng almost let out another word and quickly changed his words: "If I hadn't been there on the first day, Yuan'er almost clashed with Mr. Li. How could he take the initiative to accompany Mr. Li to the Temple of the Holy Mother today?"

"The master doesn't know anything. Since he learned the master's lesson, he knows that the Li family is important and has apologized to Mr. Li. The young master has been playing with Mr. Li in the past few days."

Yu Wencheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "That's good, that's good. He can finally listen to me and do some serious things."

Mrs. Yuwen's voice also lowered: "Master, Yuan'er actually knows the generality. He is not young anymore. He should be a job for him. Yuan'er always wants to inherit the family business of Yuwen and don't curse him at all times."

Yuwen Cheng smiled bitterly. It would be strange for this son to know the generality. I hope he won’t make trouble for him. However, the wife could not refute her words, so she had to vaguely say: “I know for my husband, and I will ask someone to recommend Yuan'er to be an official after the New Year.”

After dinner, Yu Wencheng rested for a while and was about to fall asleep, the county gate was photographed and thudded. Yu Wencheng thought his son was back, so he quickly ordered the servants: "Go, open the door quickly."

The gate of the county government opened with a creaking sound, and a yamen runner broke in and shouted, "Master, it's not good, it's not good."

Yuwen Cheng asked angrily: "What's wrong?"
