Chapter 043 Responses from All Sides
Over there, Wang Yue was shocked when Wei Xuan and others appeared. He knew that Wei Xuan had gathered at least sixty or seventy people last night. He had only managed to fight Tong Yuan until now because of Tong Yuan's negligence.
Now that the large army of the Wei family has arrived, he still dares to fight, looking for opportunities to escape from the battlefield while checking the positions of his disciples.
However, Tong Yuan is also an old man in the world, and he knows that since his grudge with Wang Yue cannot be resolved, if he can keep Wang Yue today, he must not let him run away.
Several of Wang Yue's disciples were also astute. When Wei Xuan and his men appeared, they gave up on Wei Tong and moved closer to Wang Yue. However, the opponent had too many bows and arrows, so their horses were injured. Fortunately, a few of them were skilled in martial arts.
Yes, he quickly protected Wang Yue's back.
Wang Yue wanted to escape, so he naturally became ruthless with his attacks. He tried his best to be stabbed in the left shoulder by Tong Yuan again, but he dragged his horse away from Tong Yuan's spear point. When the five disciples saw Wang Yue escape, they did not immediately follow him.
, but collectively stood in front of Tong Yuanma, blocking his way.
Wei Tong saw that Wang Yue was about to run and quickly called Du Chong and others to stop him. The two knights were the closest, but when they tried to stop him, there was only a slight delay, but two people were injured at the same time.
Wei Xuan looked on in shock and shouted: "Set the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
The young knights realized that they couldn't stop Wang Yue if they rushed forward. If they fired arrows together, they might have a chance of hitting Wang Yue.
In fact, Wang Yue was injured in many places, but his basic skills were still there. More than a dozen people chased him and fired arrows. Most of them were blocked by Wang Yue's sword. However, there were exceptions. Wei Tong saw that everyone missed his shot and grabbed one of them.
One person's bow and arrow fired three arrows in a row, and then one shot hit Wang Yue's back. Wang Yue learned his lesson now, leaned down on the horse and drove away.
Wei Tong's thigh was still bleeding, so naturally he couldn't catch up. He endured the pain and asked the young man: "Is there any poison on the arrow?"
The man shook his head and was so angry that Wei Tong threw his bow and arrow to the ground. At this time, Wei Xuan came over and saw that Wei Tong was injured and quickly asked people to help Wei Tong down. Wei Tong refused to pat him and went to the stick master to kill Wang Yue.
Those disciples.
In front of the five swordsmen was an angry Tong Yuan, and behind them were a dozen light knights holding bows and arrows. Soon two more people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Tong Yuan swung his spear and picked off one of them, but the other person tried to run away but was killed.
The crowd gathered around and started a group fight.
Tong Yuan raised his eyes and saw that Wang Yue Zao had already disappeared. It was impossible to chase him. He shook his head and sighed.
The five swordsmen were quickly dealt with by the light knights, and they helped Tong Yuan and Wei Tong aside. Only then did they find that Tong Yuan had at least four wounds on his body.
Master, the crime is too great!"
Wei Xuan thought it was Wei Tong who persuaded Tong Yuan, and the two hurried to Xiangling. Thinking that he had allowed Wang Yue to escape from the Tang family manor, even if he had to kill several of Wang Yue's disciples, Tong Yuan had a chance of winning in a one-on-one challenge with Wang Yue.
Also very big.
Tong Yuan didn't know what Wei Xuan was thinking. He just thought he met Wang Yue here by chance. Wang Yue was jealous that he blocked him from assassinating Wei Su that day, and now he thought he was blocking him from going to Anyi to do business.
Seeing Wei Xuan's apologetic face, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "I am just playful. If I were in Anyi today, not only would I not be hurt, but Wang Yue would definitely not be able to escape."
"Master Tong has tried his best today, not to mention that all of Wang Yue's gang members are here. He himself was seriously injured. He won't dare to come out to harm others without a few months of training." Wei Xuan consoled him.
Tong Yuan smiled and said: "That's natural. I'm afraid my injury today won't be healed in three months. He has two more wounds than me, not three. In the end, he was hit by Tong'er's arrow."
Only then did Wei Tong finally grin. At least he had shot the hero Wang Yue once. Tong Yuan seemed to remember something and said to Wei Tong: "Oh, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Changshan on time."
went."
Wei Tong glanced at Wei Xuan and asked, "Master, are you getting better with me?"
Tong Yuan nodded: "I made an appointment with your Senior Brother Yun. We were originally going to cross Bingzhou from Beidi. But we were temporarily pulled here by Taoist Master Zuo. We originally wanted to wait until Mr. Xuan got married and leave."
Wei Tong nodded and understood: "Master, our destination this time was originally Changshan?"
Tong Yuan was a little embarrassed and said: "The Grand Master and Mr. Xuan are too polite. I'm really sorry. Since the Grand Master agrees with you to travel with me, it's better to go to Changshan directly. In this way, you brothers can learn from each other, and your progress will also be improved."
Hurry up!"
Wei Xuan finally understood that the old man wanted Jin Chan to escape from his shell, but his brief words revealed a very important news. Tong Yuan planned to take Wei Tong to Changshan to meet Zhao Yun!
"Master Tong, it is Xuan who has troubled you. Let's do this. Give me the detailed address of Senior Brother Na Yun, and I will send someone to invite him. It will be the same for the three of you, master and disciple, when they meet in Anyi."
Tong Yuan didn't know what Wei Xuan was thinking, so he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I have to send someone to deliver a letter to him, and let him wait patiently for a few more months. After he is old, I should be almost done. Then it will be over."
Go with Tong'er."
Wei Xuan nodded: "I'm just going to make arrangements. Master Tong, you should go back to Anyi first. I'll go to Xiangfen to find a carriage to take you back first."
Tong Yuan had no objection. He was a hero and a human being. Anyi was the most suitable place to recuperate from such a serious injury.
Later, Wei Xuan quietly went to Wei Tong and asked him why he persuaded Tong Yuan to go to Xiangling to defend him without notifying him in advance, so as to avoid meeting Wang Yue alone. Only then did Wei Tong stutter out the truth of the matter.
, when Wei Xuan heard that Wei Tong had never asked Tong Yuan, he could only sigh that the world is too small and many things are too coincidental. But there is no advantage in not telling Tong Yuan, at least the Wei family does not have to owe Tong Yuan another favor. But what happens next
Sending people to find Zhao Yun requires careful arrangements. If Zhao Yun can be abducted to Anyi, regardless of whether he can stay or not, it is always good to get familiar with him first.
Wei Xuan and his party were resting on the roadside. After a while, a horse came from the north. Wei Xuan clearly saw that they were county soldiers dressed in Xiangling City, so he was stopped by someone: "I am the Northern Supervisor of Posts, Wei Xuan, little brother.
Are you going to Anyi?"
When the county soldier heard that he was the governor, he dismounted from his horse, knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice: "Guard Guard, something big happened in Xiangling last night. The county magistrate, the county captain and the lord were killed by thieves.
More than 100 county soldiers and more than 100 members of the Tang family were killed. The thieves also looted the county government's bank and arsenal!"
Wei Xuan was shocked and quickly helped the man up and asked: "What is the situation in Xiangling now?"
"The traitors have retreated. Lin County Cheng asked me to go to the prefect's mansion to ask for help."
Wei Xuan nodded: "Yes, you should hurry up and go. Be careful on the road. I will go to Xiangling immediately."
The soldier saw Wei Xuan's official seal and looked at the wounded on the ground with confusion.
Wei Xuan knew what he wanted to ask, so he said: "Perhaps they were escaped bandits who came from the direction of Xiangling early this morning and were killed by us. Otherwise, you might not be able to pass the checkpoint he set."
The soldier thanked him repeatedly, then got on his horse and continued towards Anyi.
Tong Yuan looked at Wei Xuan and others with complicated emotions. Wei Xuan and others came from Xiangling in a group of about 20 people. Naturally, they couldn't be those traitors. Could it be that they were killed and dispersed by the traitors?
Wei Xuan arranged for Wang Kai and seven others to escort the wounded man back to Xiangfen first, and then arranged for him to be sent back to Anyi when he was better. He took the remaining dozen people and rushed to Xiangling. He had sent people to Xiangling the day before yesterday.
Yin De sent a letter, saying that he had entered Xiangling and that such a big thing had happened in Xiangling. As a postal supervisor, he naturally had to rush to the scene as soon as possible.
About an hour later, Wei Xuan, wearing official robes, appeared at the Xiangling County Yamen. The surviving officials in Xiangling, who had no master, saw Wei Xuan and came to pay their respects.
Although the county magistrate Lin Yi has a higher rank than the postal supervisor, after all, Wei Xuan is an official of the Yamen of the prefecture and is responsible for supervising local officials, and he is from the Wei family, so he directly asked Wei Xuan to take the seat, and Wei Xuan did not follow.
He was polite, and after sitting down, he began to ask about the specific situation. Ji Yi had no choice but to tell him what he knew about the situation.
Wei Xuan pondered for a while and said: "It was after dusk when the governor received the news. The county soldiers set off from Anyi overnight and arrived in Xiangling the day after tomorrow. So before the county soldiers came, they had to work hard to arrange for people to keep an eye on the city gates and food supplies.
Library."
Lin Yi nodded and said: "Yesterday, more than 20 county soldiers who accompanied Kong Xianwei out of the city survived, and more than a dozen of them have already ran back. The subordinate did not blame them, but just asked them to guard the city gate first and strive for the general's merit.
Atonement. The grain depot is guarded by county soldiers. However, the less than ten surviving county government officials all took a rest yesterday."
"Well, let them work hard for a few days and stay in the county office these days. In addition, I also ask you to post notices as soon as possible to appease the people. Well, let's just say that there are thieves seeking revenge on the Tang family. As long as everyone stays in the city, the county will
The soldiers will be here soon."
All the officials promised, and then they vomited and went about their work. Only Wei Xuan and Lin Yi were left in the county government office. Wei Xuan then asked Lin Yi to accompany him for a walk around the county government office, and asked casually: "Lin Yi"
County Magistrate, do you have any clues?"
"Eighty percent of it was done by the survivors of the Yang family. According to the surviving county soldiers who came back, they saw with their own eyes that the leader was Yang Feng!"
"Yang Feng?"
Lin Yi then briefly explained Yang Feng's situation and the grievances between the Yang family and the Tang family to Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan sighed: "It's not like that, it's not like that. In order to promote filial piety and honesty, the family will be confiscated and exterminated. In the future, the governor will have little
If they don't care, they will raise a flag to rebel. It's really sad that the Yang family has ended up like this. Hey, why did County Magistrate Huang get involved in such a local family dispute?"
Lin Yi was an upright man. When he saw the Wei family master asking such casual questions, it was not easy for him to talk about his superior behind his back, so he coughed a few times in response.
Wei Xuan laughed and said: "Lin County Prime Minister is more than cautious. However, it seems that there is no suitable candidate for the government at the moment. The court estimates that there will be no new officials at night. Lin County Prime Minister has a heavy responsibility."
