Chapter 92 Arrows in the Rain

When I got here, I saw a pavilion on the roadside from a distance. There were many people standing around the pavilion, holding big umbrellas. After getting closer, I saw clearly that it was the local Tunzhou officials who welcomed the transiting army.

If it is just a transit of the government army, the local officials will never pay attention to it. However, this time it is different. The government army is the show girl who escorted to the emperor. The respect for them is the respect for the emperor, so the local officials must go out to greet him and see him off.

This place is a T-junction. Going northward, you can enter Tunzhou City. There are no villages near the T-junction, but it is just a intersection with many people coming and going, so there are several inns here that are specially used for travelers to stay in hotels.

These inns are scattered around the T-junction. Because they are far away from the city, they grow their own crops and vegetable fields. They have become a roadside shop group that is not considered a village.

The pavilion is at the intersection of T-shirt, which is also because some imperial officials often pass by, and local officials want to welcome and see them off. If the officials do not enter the city, they will welcome and see them off here and build a pavilion.

When the group came to the pavilion, the officials came over, clasped their fists and smiled.

Yi Xingchen did not know these local officials, so he asked Gao Zhugan next to him in a low voice. Gao Zhugan hurriedly introduced him to him in a low voice. Only then did he learn that the thin old man walking in front was the local magistrate, surnamed Zhu, and other county magistrates, chief clerks and other county officials.

Among the county towns under the Tunzhou Prefecture are Qingyang County, where Tunzhou Prefecture is located, and several officials from the Qingyang County Government came. Although the escorts were sent to the emperor's beautiful girls, these escorts, because they were only for selection and were not finally stayed in the palace, and there were no eunuchs accompanying them, so the magistrates of Tongzhou Prefecture came to welcome and see off to express the respect of local officials for the emperor. Therefore, the magistrates of Tunzhou Prefecture did not show up.

The general flag quickly turned over and got off the horse and stepped forward and bowed, and his fists were almost touching the ground. Yi Xingchen, Gao Zhugan, and Ai Donggua also turned over and hugged her fists, but the three of them just bent down slightly. After all, the other party was a court official of a grade. Seeing the flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring swords on their waists, several local officials knew that they were Jinyiwei, so they were naturally full of spring breeze and bowed back to their gifts and invited them into the pavilion. A table of banquets had been set up on the pavilion. In addition, the county yamen runners greeted the accompanying officials and soldiers to drink and eat. The women in the car also specially sent food to them, and they would eat in the car and would not get off.

After entering the pavilion, we divided the guests and hosts to sit down.

The magistrate laughed and asked Yi Xingchen and the other two names, raised his glass toast, and said some scenes.

This was just the time when I started drinking, and I was very literary. After three rounds of dishes and five flavors, I started talking. Zhu Zhixian had a good alcohol tolerance and was very good at talking. He kept raising his glasses and toasting frequently, which made Yi Xingchen and the others blush.

After eating, the general flag patted his round belly and said, "Oh, it's really fun. Thank you for the hospitality of the adults. I feel so uncomfortable with my stomach. I went to the cottage." As he said that, he held his stomach and ran to the toilet next to the inn opposite.

Several civil servants smiled and shook their heads. It was really a bit vulgar. They were also said at the wine table.

When Yi Xingchen saw the general flag holding his stomach and said he was uncomfortable running to the toilet, he couldn't help but feel trembling. He remembered the display of the hexagram he had calculated before. He quickly looked around and looked at the sky again. It was dark and gloomy, and he was even more worried, saying, "It seems that it is going to rain."

Zhu Zhixian came over with a wine and said with a smile: "It's cloudy this day, and it's time to fall. It's not raining on the Grain Rain. What's the Grain Rain? But today's rain is probably a heavy rain. Come on, Brother Yi, you have become a Jinyiwei at a young age and have a bright future. Brother, I and you fell in love with you at first sight, and I admire you very much. I saw you very well at such a young age. Even drinking so much, even Lord General Banner can't stand firm, but you are nothing. You really have been a hero since ancient times. Come on, let's have another drink."

Yi Xingchen needs to calm down now, so he didn't let go of drinking just now. In fact, he didn't drink much just now, but after he said this, he seemed to feel proud. He smiled and said, "Thank you, magistrate, I used to be a fortune teller, and I just made a living under your hands. I didn't expect that I could drink with the county magistrate at the same table today. It's really a matter of no change. Come on, I'll pay a cup of honor to my parents."

The magistrate said he didn't dare to drink it all with a drink.

Yi Xingchen was about to drink, but at this moment, it started to rain outside the pavilion.

Yi Xingchen couldn't help but feel tight, holding the cup, looking at the rain outside the pavilion and said, "It's really raining."

The officers and soldiers and yamen runners who were sitting cross-legged on both sides of the road to eat and drink saw that it was raining, quickly hid under the eaves of inns on the side of the road. Some of them did not dare to be too far away from the vehicle, so they stood by the carriage with an umbrella and were wet in the rain.

The rain came very quickly. It was originally just a light rain, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a heavy rain. The officers and soldiers and the yamen runners hid quickly, but they were wet by the rain. It was a pity that the wine and food on the ground were wet by the rain without having time to clean up.

Of course, Yi Xingchen and the others couldn't get wet in the pavilion. Instead, they felt that their bodies were filled with blood. After the rain, they felt particularly comfortable, so they drank even more happily.

Yi Xingchen stood under the corridor of the pavilion with wine and looked around.

The heavy rain formed a heavy rain among the mountains, covering the distant mountains in the rain. Only the inn nearby could see clearly, and there was also a vegetable field in the hills behind the inn, which was under the violent invasion of the rain in the rain.

Seeing that Yi Xingchen was only looking at the heavy rain outside, he still didn't drink a glass of wine in his hand, so he poured another glass and brought it over and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, you haven't drunk your wine yet. Come on, brother, have another glass with you."

Yi Xingchen quickly accused him of guilt and drank the wine in his hand. Magistrate Zhu laughed loudly and kept saying that the young hero was terrifying. He picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it. Suddenly, with a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot from the rain curtain, drew a long thread of water, penetrated into the pavilion, and slammed the wine glass in Magistrate Zhu's hand, broke through the glass and sank into the rain.

Magistrate Zhu was so scared that he screamed, and at this moment, the screams of officers and soldiers and yamen runners came from all over the place. Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw countless flying arrows shooting from the rain. The officers and soldiers standing beside the carriages hiding under the eaves were all shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the general flag of the troops was squatting in the toilet, and the officers and soldiers were immediately without leaders. They could not have imagined that under the peaceful and prosperous times, there were actually bandits who really attacked them. Moreover, they were shooting arrows, and there were no shields in their hands. There were no shields in their hands. Those with slightly higher martial arts skills pulled out weapons and called, while those with less martial arts skills were caught and fell to the ground and died.

Zhu Zhixian was so scared that he was scattered by the arrow shot and suddenly collapsed on the ground. The others were frightened and drilled under the table.

Yi Xingchen immediately said to Ai Donggua: "Take the magistrate with me, go to the vegetable field there, hurry up!"

Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua didn't know what Yi Xingchen was going to do, but the elder brother had an order, so of course he had to obey. Moreover, the situation was urgent and there was no way to discuss it. Seeing that Yi Xingchen had already rushed into the rain, Ai Donggua grabbed Zhu Magistrate Zhu on the ground and rushed out of the pavilion. Gao Zhugan, who was good at light skills, caught up with Yi Xingchen, held his armpit, and flew to the vegetable field.

Yi Xingchen stood around the vegetable field and saw a newly dug soil pit next to the vegetable field. It seemed that he was about to dig it for a septic storage tank. It was only half dug and it was not completed yet, so it was just a not-so-deep soil pit. He immediately said to Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua: "Hide in the earthen kang, hurry up!"

The three of them took Zhu Magistrate Zhu to jump into the pit and lay beside the pit. At this time, arrows were like rain, shooting through their heads. The county magistrate, chief clerk and others who were hiding in the pavilion were shot like hedgehogs by arrows. They died tragically in the pavilion.
