Lord of the House

Chapter 20

The corpse of the head servant was lying on the fallen grass on the outside of the lake embankment. Bright red blood gushed out from the neck stem, and a large piece of withered grass was covered in red. Standing beside the splattered blood, it is like a shocking impressionist work.

Of course, the three health servants on horseback did not know what Impressionist works were, but the knife from the Seventh Lady expressing her determination had a strong impact on their hearts, making them dare not ignore or question the Seventh Lady's words, at least this time. dare not. There was no time to mourn for the dead fox, the dead companion, lying on the haystack. The three health servants all pulled out their sabers, turned their horses, and galloped towards the lake embankment.

Even if the three health servants knew in their hearts that the rogues who were chasing Lin Bie were sent out by the Second Young Master, if they wanted to save Lin Fu here, they would certainly offend the Second Young Master, but the two evils are the lesser of the two evils. Second Young Master at least temporarily has no worries about his life and will not involve his family.

Watching the three health servants shovel their horses down the lake embankment, Gu Yingxiu slumped down on the hay pile as if losing all of her strength, and ignoring the bloodstains all over her body, she put her hands on the hay and stared at the lake. Look under the embankment.

The maids and wives were all frightened and looked at Gu Yingxiu with a pale face. They usually knew that the Seventh Madam was a powerful person, but no one could imagine that she would be such a clean and resolute servant today who would not obey her orders. Then force others to go down the lake bank to save people. Gu Yingxiu fell down and sat there, the ground was cold, the maids and wives were supposed to help her stand up, or hand her a beautiful pier, but at this time everyone was stunned, even Gu Yingxiu's close-fitting The maid also did not dare to step forward to serve her as if rooting at her feet.

Zhao Shi was very shocked when she saw the seventh lady kill, but she, like the seventh lady, was concerned about the safety of Lin Fu under the lake embankment and the safety of her son who had not yet appeared. Seeing that the four escorting health servants refused to listen The lady's order went down to save lives, and she could not wait to kill them. Even though she thought to herself, seeing the Seventh Madam wielding a single hand, Zhao was still strongly impacted; she walked over to pick up the Seventh Madam, and looked at the wilderness under the lake embankment together.

The three health servants rode their horses down the lake embankment, there were still four or five hundred steps away from Lin Fu, and the way Lin Fu and the others entered the village was blocked by the Dongyang House cavalry, and the retreat had been blocked by the pirate soldiers who were chasing after them. Neng Lejiang dismounts and kills these thieves.

Gu Yingxiu could see that Zhou Pu and the two strangers who appeared in Luoma Market yesterday were both brave, but there were as many as seven rogues chasing them. Seeing that Lin Tie was almost thrown off his horse when he was reined, Gu Ying Xiu was worried about whether Zhou Pu and the two foreigners could protect Lin Bie from harm and support him here.

The situation that followed was far beyond Gu Yingxiu's imagination.

Gu Yingxiu saw Lin Fu fall off the horse, rolled on the ground and stood up as if nothing happened, and shouted to the cavalrymen of Dongyang Mansion who blocked the entrance of the village. He was shouting, guessing that he probably told the cavalry who blocked the entrance to the village that it was they who saw through the assassin in Shiliang County yesterday and saved Gu Wuchen's life.

The cavalrymen of Dongyang Mansion were unmoved, and they were not manned enough. What if the other party tricked them into killing another one by surprise? However, when I saw a cavalryman returning to the village, he probably asked the Gu family to come out and verify.

Zhou Pu and the two foreigners got off the horse, only to see that the foreigner who was behind the bow to interfere with the pursuers threw the cavalry bow and the three remaining arrows to Zhou Pu, Zhou Pu took the bow and arrow, The bow and arrow are drawn, and there are two arrows in the mouth. The foreigner's archery skills on the back of the horse were good enough. At this time, seeing him handing over the bow to others, the seven rogues who were chasing naturally became cautious. When they reached the edge of the range of the bow, they turned over and dismounted. Leading the horse forward, they hid their bodies behind the horse's side and rushed forward.

Zhou Pu did not hesitate to shoot an arrow first and hit a horse's neck. When the horse was hoof pain, he quickly shot a second arrow and plunged into a rogue's chest. Gu Yingxiu had also seen the village braves perform archery, but only felt that Zhou Pu's archery skills were unmatched by the village braves in the forest.

It's just that at this time Zhou Pu only had one arrow left, but the other party had six people, and the three health servants who forced her to go to the rescue hadn't ridden their horses forty or fifty paces away. Gu Yingxiu knew that Zhou Pu might not be afraid of these six rogues alone, but she was worried that Zhou Pu would not be able to protect Lin Bie's well-roundedness when he had only half of the opponent's hands. It doesn't matter if these rogues kill in front of Dongyang Mansion's cavalry, which shows how strong the determination to kill Lin Bie is.

But at this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves running in the distance, and Gu Yingxiu was shocked. Could it be that there are still rogues chasing after him? Lin Xuzong's privately raised Kou Bing was far more than seven or eight people. Standing on the lake embankment and looking down, he watched two fast horses running towards this side from the northeast and northwest corners. The bow bag and quiver, Gu Yingxiu felt a little cold, Zhou Pu and two foreigners may not have a full grasp of the six rogues, not to mention the people who came with bows and arrows. However, the four people who came from behind quickly turned over and dismounted from the horse a hundred paces behind the six rogues. They took out a stiff bow that was one-third longer than the riding bow, and pointed their horns against the six, actually besieging them. The bandits in the middle "swish, whoosh" and shot, about half a bag of arrows each. The six bandits fell to the ground with five or six arrows inserted into their bodies.

The change in front of them surprised the people watching on the lake bank and the entrance of the village. The three health servants who were about to rush to rescue also restrained their horses from a distance.

Gu Yingxiu understood what was going on. Lin Fu made it clear that he was trying to trap and kill the second son, Lin Xuzong, and several Kou soldiers who had been reared in private. Could it be that he would say in the carriage last night, "Wait for him to kill, and send another one." A gift to Sister Yingxiu".

It happened in a short time. No one from the Gu family appeared at the entrance of the village to identify Lin Fu and others. The team of cavalrymen from Dongyang Mansion watched Lin Fu and their powerful tactics to trap and kill rogues, and they couldn't help but get nervous. They approached the village.

Gu Yingxiu saw Lin Fu patted the dust on his body, clumsily climbed on the back of the horse, and rode toward this side with Zhou Pu and the six other people from outside the country.

Lin Fu rode up to the lake embankment, but also got off the horse a little clumsily. When he saw the corpse lying on the dry grass, he seemed to know what happened on the lake embankment just now. Master Gu's?"

Gu Yingxiu could not wait to stab him in the chest, a heart almost jumped out of his throat just now. Lin Fu turned a blind eye to the corpse lying on the haystack, but Gu Yingxiu had to hold back the nausea after the murder, and calmly told the three servants, maids and old ladies, "Who dares to stand by and watch the death of the Lin family disciple? He and Zhao Neng are role models! After returning, you said that he was killed by the thief for Lin Xiucai, and his family can still get the family pension, do you know? Aunt Zhao, help me back to the car and let the cold wind blow Got a headache."

Aunt Zhao was still a little worried about Zhao Hu's safety, but she couldn't reveal in front of other people that Mrs. Qi and Lin Fu had made an appointment to meet at Huyan, so she had to help Mrs. Seven into the carriage first.

The three health servants, maids, and wives didn't dare to make a sound, they only carried the body to the carriage in front, and tied the empty horse with no one to the back of the carriage.

Although the imperial court decreed that the main family should not arbitrarily use lynching on servants, and prohibit unprovoked killing. In fact, in the villages where clan power is rampant, all the noble clans use lynching as an important means to deter servants and clansmen. Even if the lynching wounded his life, he was sued to the government, and the government was very just to avenge the servants, and the master who killed the servants for no reason was only sentenced to three years of exile.

There was an emergency today, and the servants who had the responsibility of guarding disobeyed and did not rescue the master's family. Even if they killed the master's family with a knife, even if they were brought to the government, it would only be a fine of silver.

The Gu family finally appeared at the entrance of the village. It was the middle-aged guard who appeared beside Gu Wuchen yesterday.

Hearing the news that the assassins were gathering tourists to rush to the horses to loot, Yang Pu was shocked by the daring of these assassins, so that the cavalry sent by Dongyang Prefecture to **** them went to the entrance of the village to intercept them. The assassins could not be allowed to enter the village and harm the Gu family, so he stayed behind. Gu Wuchen's side, closely guarding his safety. It didn't take long for the Dongyang House cavalry to send someone to report that someone claimed to be Master Gu's savior and was besieging the seven or eight people who thought they were assassins. Yang Pu instantly thought of Lin Fu who saw through the assassin at the tea hotel last night. He couldn't let Gu Wuchen take risks at the entrance of the village, so he hurried to the entrance of the village. If Master Gu's savior was surrounded and killed by thieves at the entrance of the village because he stood by here, let alone his guilt, if the rumor came out, Master Gu would become a laughing stock in the official circle: Who would treat his savior like this?

Yang Pu looked at the seven rogues who shot arrows in the field. The battle was over before he came. There were three other horses lying on the ground, one was dead, the other two were shot with arrows, bleeding a lot, their hooves were chopping on the ground, their noses were snorting white mist, and they were about to die. After fleeing to a distance, the Dongyang Mansion cavalry also sent four people to capture them separately.

I saw Lin Bing riding behind Gu Yingxiu's carriage slowly down the lake embankment, and a group of knights following him.

"Uncle Yang," Gu Yingxiu saw Yang Pu coming to the entrance of the village, asked Zhao to lift the curtain, and said to Lin Fu, "Uncle Yang went to Yanjing with my second uncle twenty years ago..."

Lin Fu had heard people mention Yang Pu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but I didn't recognize him when we met yesterday.

The Yang family has been a servant in the Gu family for four generations. Yang Pu was a martial arts scholar in Shiliang County when he was young, but the martial arts of this dynasty were not as good as literary. Accumulation of military merit will bring fame. Twenty years ago, Yang Pu did not think about joining the army to make a name for himself and get rid of his low status. Instead, he accompanied Gu Wuchen to Yanjing to attend a meeting, and stayed with Gu Wuchen in Yanjing for twenty years.

"Lin Juren, I'm really sorry just now. It is the responsibility of guarding Master Gu. I hope Lin Juren can be considerate." Military attaché, he also knew that the practice of refusing people from the village just now was very offending, so he also came to make amends at this time.

Lin Bie didn't speak, and Wu Qi, who was riding behind him, snorted coldly, "It's probably because I look suspicious and I'm not worthy of your trust, so don't stop bothering." He clasped his fist at Lin Bie and said, "Lin Xiucai, We will have an appointment later.”

It's not necessary to say it badly, but Wu Qi and the others are eager to get away and return to the hiding horse, so naturally they want to say something bad, the crow Wu Qi and the other five people turned their horses and galloped into the distance. Yang Pu and the Deputy Lieutenant of the Dongyang Mansion Cavalry Yunqi both wondered why these people are so difficult to serve? But they made a mistake. Watching Wu Qi and the others ride their horses far away, they all forgot to keep them.

The Deputy Lieutenant of Yunqi looked at Wu Qi and the others who were far away, and thought in his heart: Quick horses, hard bows, and good equestrian skills were originally suspicious. But he wouldn't say this out of luck. Which big family doesn't have some private soldiers these days, thinking that Lin Juren would just leave if he didn't get angry.
