Chapter 357 In front of the house
But at this time, it became troublesome to leave. The chaotic crowds ran around the streets that were not wide, making it impossible for the horses to run. Moreover, the people running on the street were all acquaintances, cavalrymen of the horse team, or family members of the cavalry.
Although they made up their minds to abandon their wife's run, they could not break up for a while. When they rushed and shouted, the people below were cursing, and they were even more fierce and bold. Seeing that the situation was not good, they were actually preparing to snatch the horses. They also knew that the mount was the key at this time.
This completely tore the face apart. The few mercilessly slashed the horses, but the people below had no mounts, but they were not short of weapons. They were also scolding and fighting back, blood splattering, and the scene was in chaos.
"Go, go outside." Liu Cheng shouted immediately, but it had no effect on the scene. There were even a few familiar begging. Liu Cheng even saw a woman who was good at her. Before going out, he asked his wife and children to hide in the cellar. If he came out at this time, would he take him with him or not?
There were screams, screams, and cries in his ears. He smelled the burning smoke mixed with grass and horse manure at the tip of his nose. Liu Cheng became more and more irritable. Before he could move, he suddenly grabbed the reins by someone. He slashed it mercilessly, and blood immediately splattered. It was not until this time that he realized that it was his cousin who was holding the reins, and he had been saddled with him for a long time.
Liu Cheng shook his body. Before he could react, he saw several horsemen appearing on the other side of the street. He looked like the horse team of Kongjiazhuang. Seeing these cavalrymen, the Kongjiazhuang merchants who were like headless flies were immediately frightened and fled.
After dozens of steps, Liu Cheng realized that it was the enemy. The few people did not rush in to drive the horse in a rash manner, but stopped there directly, and a young man in the lead took a bow and took an arrow.
Only martial artists from the Ming Wei were born to learn this set of archery and horse postures. It was not easy to shoot quickly, but the range and accuracy of the shooting were not inferior to the arrows. They drew an arc in the air and flew forward quickly, directly through Liu Cheng's chest. Liu Cheng's face was a little sad. He was thinking that if his father had not been obsessed with Kong Jiuying back then, he should have played in the army now. When he was dying, Liu Cheng heard the screams of women and the crying of children. He could hear that this was the one of his wife and children. This was better. The melancholy on Liu Cheng's face turned into ease and he loaded it directly from the horse.
"Tiger Master" was only one or two shouting, no one was attentive, and an arrow completely exploded the chaotic crowd.
The riders were desperately fighting and slashing and killing with weapons. They all wanted to find a way for themselves. Dong Bingfeng squinted his eyes immediately. It was very simple to tell that the riders were relatively important now. He shot one to death just now, and now he can deal with the second one.
"It's so easy. I thought that so many horse teams would have to spend some effort, but they ended up being in such a mess."
"It's all Master Jin's magic tricks"
"A bunch of waste, if we encounter this, we will definitely be in a group to fight. This is great, just like driving a sheep." Several cavalrymen following Dong Bingfeng could not shoot arrows, but just guarded their own leaders, but their tone was relaxed.
Listening to his subordinates, Dong Bingfeng set off his bow and arrows on his horse, and the arrows roared. Another horseman was caught and fell off the horse, which made the situation even more chaotic, but no one dared to come here.
There were also a few loyal guards in Kong Jiuying's inner house, and his martial arts were also quite good. He hid in the corner and shot two arrows. If Zhao Jin and Chen Huang were not wearing this iron barrel-like armor, they would probably be in big trouble.
The arrow was bounced away, and Zhuang Liu, who was following behind, found this man and shot him with one arrow. The rest of the guards should have shifts day and night. They were still wearing armor and holding good weapons, but in front of the spear of the Zhao Ying family servant, they were stabbed to death after not resisting a few reunions.
As for the others, when they heard the words "letting down and not killing", they all lay on the ground frankly. Someone shouted that they knew where Kong Jiuying was, where Kong Jiuying's concubine was, where the treasure was hidden. As long as they spared his life, they could be taken over. Someone cried loudly, saying that they were coerced by Kong Jiuying. Now that the righteous man is coming, he is willing to be a witness and be willing to eliminate evil with the righteous man.
Zhao Jin and Chen Huang were too lazy to pay attention to it. The Zhao family's servant who followed him smiled contemptuously. Xiao Zhong was still dedicated and almost told everyone's origins. They were all favored by this inner house. Some of them were sisters and concubines around Kong Jiuying, and some of them were Kong Jiuying's brothers.
"Master, this is the residence of the old thief Kong." Xiao Zhong's face was filled with a happy smile.
Kong Jiuying may not live there at night, but she will not leave these places. After Xiao Zhong killed two people with a dagger, he asked for the location.
In front of me is a very ordinary house of a wealthy family. Not only is it planted with flowers and plants, but some details are somewhat elegant, but they do not have the slightest protection ability.
Kong Jiuying had married two wives, seven or eight concubines, and many of them were maids with no status. He even hooked up with the wife in the village.
However, people in their fifties are now in their 50s. Although they are strong in their bodies, they are not as energetic as before, and they are nostalgic than before. They don’t go out to have fun and concentrate on these people at home. The youngest concubine and the ninth concubine are the most favored.
Kong Jiuying knew Zhao Jin and was amazed at the growth and development of this young man, but she didn't think that the other party was a threat. She said that the Yellow River was separated by the middle, so could that group of young men come over?
Zhao Jin's soju business has grown bigger, so Kong Jiuying is of course jealous. He has also drunk that wine, and now it is inevitable every day. Naturally, he also knows that this liquor can be sold at a good price, and it is a huge profit when you get it.
But he tried several times openly and secretly, but he didn't get any advantage several times. Kong Jiuying didn't feel embarrassed. In fact, he felt that he was doing well in Kongjiazhuang. There was no need to swallow every piece of fat in his mouth, but he would keep trying and would not let go as long as he had the chance. If there was no chance, it would be unacceptable to continue like this.
No one dared to tell Kong Jiuying that he is old and is increasingly content with the status quo, and he has no energy to fight with others. Kong Jiuying’s three sons, only the boss knows some guns and sticks. The other two are good at pretending to be literati and a pure playboy. Kong Jiuying thinks this is also good. He has already created such a family business, so why bother fighting and killing again? Just enjoy it.
The only thing that made him feel threatened recently was that Zhao Jin asked Xu Zhenzhen for marriage. The Zhao family and the Xu family joined forces and directly threatened the Kong family. Moreover, Kong Jiuying had always wanted to plot against the Xu family and swallowed the elephant with a small snake. As long as he took it down, it would be the foundation of the family.
The idea that his subordinate Fu Chuchuan came up with was exactly what he liked. Although Xu Zhenzhen was three years older than his ninth concubine, he was said to be a big shot, but when he got married, he had an excuse to reach out to the Xu family. Moreover, some people in the Xu family had already colluded with him, and then the inside and outside would definitely be appropriate.
Moreover, Zhao Jin was separated by the Yellow River. After fighting, the refugees must be seriously injured and need to rest. The horse team here has hundreds of horses and can drive over at any time. Fu Chuchuan went over to propose marriage and agreed to save him. If he did not agree to the horse team's coercion, the woman would definitely marry him obediently.
It’s not without trouble. After hearing the news, the eighth concubine and the ninth concubine cried every day. If Kong Jiuying had slapped her in the face in the past, she wouldn’t be able to hold her heart in the room. She would have to stay in the room of these two for a few more nights, and she would have to be stronger at night.
After all, he is old. After all, he can't get up during the day after he goes to bed. When someone walks outside the yard, Kong Jiuying, who is sleeping, can wake up immediately, but now he is being pushed by the eighth concubine in the bed.
"Master, outside." Kong Jiuying, who was sleepy, had no reaction yet, and saw the eighth concubine's expression of frightened expression.
It was very noisy outside and there were crying outside. Kong Jiuying finally realized that something was going on? He suddenly sat up from the bed, but this sitting caused his waist to suck and he almost lay back.
It has been a long time since I practiced martial arts and my body was already in full swing. Kong Jiuying gritted her teeth and held it up. The eighth concubine next to her couldn't help but tremble and said in a trembling voice: "Master, what should I do?"
The movement was not like a big fight between the inner and outer villages. I'm afraid something really happened. Decades of experience have made Kong Jiuying not make a wrong judgment. At this time, he could tell the difference and ignored the crying of the eighth concubine who was usually favored. Kong Jiuying reached out to push the person away, jumped out of the bed, and then reached out to grop under the bed.
After touching it, Kong Jiuying was stunned and then shouted at the eighth concubine on the bed, "What about the knife I put here?"
"Sir said that the weapon is unknown, and it will be hindered by the owner in the house." Before she finished speaking, the sound of footsteps of climbing over the wall and falling to the ground came outside the house. When the door latch was pulled out, the dense footsteps sounded, "The old thief Kong is here." Someone shouted excitedly.
The Eighth Auntie screamed and squirmed into the bed. Kong Jiuying was frozen. His body was in a very good state back then. Although he was too drunk and colored over the years, his waist was still straight. At this time, he suddenly became much hunched. However, not long after the pause, Kong Jiuying stood up slowly, ignored the crying of the Eighth Auntie behind him, and opened the door and walked out.
It was dawn and the sun had not yet come out. Yu Cao, horse manure and other scents of burning came in. Kong Jiuying stood on the steps and was a little stunned. He saw the excited or indifferent faces in the yard. His first thought was "These people came so early."
