Reborn Little Carpenter

In addition to Tang Taishou and his son, Zhou Bochao, Sun Yushan, Sun Hongyun, Ling Jianbai, Tian Yuxing and Tian Tang were also present in the prefect's mansion.

With the arrival of the three Qi family brothers, all relevant personnel from Tian Yuxing's faction were present.

Tian Yuxing was wearing a fancy dress and was sitting on the top seat. When he saw Qi Yue coming in, the two people's eyes met for a while, and then quickly staggered away.

There are familiar people on both sides, but there are also people who are meeting for the first time. After a brief introduction to each other, we entered the topic.

Tian Yuxing's trip northward to the capital is full of dangers. After leaving Feng'an County, accidents may happen at any time.

If Zhou Bochao led soldiers to escort them, it would be equivalent to setting up a living target and telling those people to hit here.

The reason they called the Qi family brothers was to borrow the Qi family's business roads, build plank roads openly, store Chen Cang secretly, and send Tian Yuxing into the capital smoothly.

Zhou Bochao sent someone to pretend to be Tian Yuxing to walk the official road with them, while the real Tian Yuxing was led by the Qi family to walk the business road.

After hearing their plan, Qi Yue shook his head: "It doesn't really matter whether you take the business way or the official way, the important thing is not to let others hurt the third prince. , It’s better to gather together and walk over swaggeringly.”

Sun Yushan suppressed Zhou Bochao who was about to say something: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"A good idea is not just a small suggestion." Qi Yue said: "I think everyone knows the ultimate goal of our trip north to the capital. Everyone wants good things. It has been in business for such a long time, it is impossible for people to snatch things casually."

"Even if we arrive at the capital safely this time, what awaits us will be a trap swamp. Instead of struggling again at that time, it is better to strike first. Stir up this muddy water."

The other party finally threw away his casual attitude and became serious. Prefect Tang narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you think?"

Qi Yue walked to the map, the map in the study of the prefect Tang was much more detailed than that of Qi's house.

Qi Yue stood in front of the map and calculated for a while, before speaking of his plan.

After he finished speaking, the others exchanged glances and stepped forward to perfect the plan.

Qi Yue stepped aside and breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt someone poke the outside of his thigh.Qi Yue turned his head and saw Tian Yuxing giving him a thumbs up with his hands behind his back.

Qi Yue hooked the corners of his mouth, and quickly restrained himself.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, the three brothers returned to the shop and got together to discuss for a while.

Three days later, Zhou Bochao led officers and soldiers to escort Tian Yuxing's carriage swaggeringly set off from Feng'an County.

There are also many merchant teams in the team, all of which were convened in Feng'an County under the leadership of Tang Taishou in the past few days.

They lead their own team to transport the goods, and go together with the officers and soldiers from the north. There are more people and more strength, and the chance of accidents will be less. Moreover, Tang Taishou promised them that they can also live in the post station on the official road, which is much more convenient than going by themselves. .

The huge team started from the east gate of Feng'an County, and it took a full two quarters of an hour to walk out of the city gate from the head to the tail of the team, which attracted the attention of many people.

Such a huge team made the faces of the people hiding in the dark very ugly. After the team going north left, several small caravans left from Feng'an County.

One disadvantage of an overly large team is that the speed of travel is relatively slow, and sometimes you will miss the post on the road and have to camp on the side of the road.

Fortunately, everyone is an experienced person. After choosing a place, they set up their own camps and started cooking.

Zhou Bochao sat by the fire and roasted the meat with a knife on the fire. His subordinates brought a small note and unfolded it in front of him.

Zhou Bochao glanced at it, then looked away: "Let go."

"Yes."

After his subordinates left, Zhou Bochao put the meat under his nose and smelled it, then sprinkled another layer of salt, and finally put it on a plate and brought it into the tent, where Tang Jingyao sat at the table, waving a fan and looking at him with a smile .

The night passed without incident.Early the next morning, the team started again.

And the note that Zhou Bochao signaled to send away was also in the hands of the mysterious person behind the scenes. The mysterious person opened it and saw that it said: "There is no one here".

The secret man sneered, and handed the note to the person dressed as a scholar next to him.

After reading it, the scholar folded the note in half, and said in disbelief, "Zhou Bochao's such a big move is just for the sake of a cover-up?"

"Regardless of whether he is trying to hide his eyes or not, that bastard must never reach the capital alive. Send people to continue to investigate and find out where he is hiding!"

"Yes."

A few days later, new news arrived, and the mysterious man narrowed his eyes as he looked at the note in his hand.

"What's wrong?" The scholar took the note and looked at it, then sighed: "It makes sense."

The mysterious man said bitterly: "Old fox, they were almost deceived. Now that we know where the man is, let's do it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

On a gloomy autumn day, the narrow narrow canyon can't see a ray of sunlight, and the thatch on the high cliffs on both sides is withered and yellow. A group of black-clothed assassins suddenly appeared, gathered together and muttered a few words, and then dispersed quickly. , lying on the thatch, hiding his figure, and the cliff regained its tranquility.

Soon, rhythmic drums sounded first from the west side of the canyon, followed by the sound of uniform footsteps.

A team of officers and soldiers mixed with civilians entered the canyon with a rhythm. There was a carriage in the middle of the team. What was unexpected was that there was a big drum on the roof of the carriage, and there was a person standing on it. Obviously, the sound of the drum came from here. dispatched.

He set a rhythm, and the people in the team followed his rhythm step by step, walking very uniformly, and everyone was fine and jj.

Seeing to be out of the canyon.On the cliff, the man in black took out an arrow and put it on a bow. When the bow was fully drawn, the arrow followed the drummer.

With a movement of the finger, the arrow shot out, and the person fell down.

The drummer on the carriage moved his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw a cold arrow shooting towards him. His eyes widened, and he only had time to move his body slightly to avoid the vital point. The cold arrow pierced into his body viciously. inside.

The drumbeat stopped abruptly, and the drummer fell off the carriage.

Immediately there was an exclamation from the side: "It's not good! Something happened to the third prince!"

"There are assassins, escort them quickly."

The soldiers immediately approached the carriage.

The originally neat team left and became chaotic. Many people in the caravan turned around and ran away regardless of the goods, and some people lost their legs in fright and fell to the ground.

Zhou Bochao raised his knife and shouted: "Don't panic, the exit is in front and everyone runs to the exit."

And lead the soldiers to protect Tian Yuxing and move towards the exit.

Some people heard his words and ran desperately to the front exit. The cold arrows from the cliff were shot down one after another, taking away many people's lives.

Someone in the ranks of soldiers was also injured, but because they were so close to the exit, they escaped quickly.When they went to an open place outside, they no longer had to be afraid of cold arrows outside the shooting range.

The soldiers held their swords and watched the direction of the canyon vigilantly in case an assassin rushed over. The result may be because they thought they had succeeded and did not chase them down.

There was no movement on the cliff for a long time, so Zhou Bochao sent a team to investigate, and they came back after a while.

The team leader knelt on the ground on one knee and reported loudly to Zhou Bochao: "Report to the general, no trace of anyone was found above."

When the merchants who ran out together heard it, they breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground instantly, panting heavily. They broke into a cold sweat from fright, but luckily they saved their lives.

The soldiers formed a circle, Tian Yuxing gritted his teeth in the circle, and the military doctor was helping him with the arrow wound.

"Damn it! It's poisonous!" A military doctor exclaimed from inside.

"Wow!"

The hearts of the businessmen outside the circle were disturbed again. The escort of the officers and soldiers was the third prince who was living outside. They didn't know until halfway through the team.

At first, they thought they were taking advantage of the officials, but who knew they were getting angry, and now the third prince was assassinated again. If they died right away, they would all have to go back and forth.

The goods are scattered on the ground, but no one is in the mood to clean them up. Their lives are almost gone, so why do you need these goods?

The autumn wind brought a chill, making the businessmen sitting on the ground shiver, and they didn't know how long it had passed.

Zhou Bochao's expression was also very ugly, the military doctor came out from the circle, his hands were covered with blood, he walked up to him and exhaled foul breath: "The subordinate has already forced out the poisonous blood in the prince's body, the prince's life is not in danger for the time being. "

Zhou Bochao nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Some soldiers brought over the carriage left in the canyon, and a group of people carried Tian Yuxing, who had fallen into a coma, into the carriage. It turned out that the place where he had been lying was exposed, and a large pool of black and red blood hurt the eyes of the merchants. .

The soldiers surrounded the carriage with three layers inside and three layers outside, and no one was allowed to approach.Zhou Bochao ordered the people in the caravan to pack up their caravan's goods and prepare to go.

Those people remembered to go to the canyon to look for their goods. Knowing that people had died in the canyon, they still bit the bullet and went in. After entering, they found that all the corpses inside had been disposed of by the soldiers.

They also breathed a sigh of relief when they didn't see the dead body. Each caravan gathered to consolidate their own goods and count the people in their own team.

Afterwards, it was discovered that the missing people were all temporary recruits. The businessman who led the team secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly hid in the past.

The same thing happened in other teams, but after all, they were members of their own team. They still showed endless grief on their faces, and the sneaky little luck in their hearts dared not tell outsiders.

After they rested, the team continued to march towards the capital, but this time without the encouragement of the drums, the team's pace gradually became loose and lifeless. Some people finally remembered Tian Yuxing's good fortune, and began to hope from the bottom of their hearts. Get well soon.

Several days had passed since the assassination, but there was still no news, and the mysterious man was pacing anxiously in the room.

"Report-"

The mysterious man turned around and walked to the door with big strides.

A guard ran up to him and knelt down in front of him.

The mysterious man immediately blurted out: "Say!"

"Yes, eldest prince, the spies came to report that the team escorting the third prince into the capital has arrived outside the capital."

The eldest prince's eyes widened, he raised his foot and kicked the guard who would report him out, and said angrily: "Trash!"
