At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 26 Assassination
The location of Flying Eagle Racecourse is indeed unique. It is backed by Feiying Mountain. Most of the intrusion from the outside world is avoided.

The time for the banquet invited by Changsun Sheng was Youshi, that is to say, after five o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Bufan and his son set off for the banquet at the beginning of Shenshi.Gao Kaishan rode a yellow puma in front, Gao Bufan rode a big green horse behind, and the two horses trotted onto the wooden bridge over the small river.

This wooden bridge is movable and can be hoisted at one end. It is the so-called suspension bridge. It is put down during the day and then hoisted up at night. There are special personnel in charge of guarding, which can guarantee the safety of the racecourse to a certain extent.

This year's banditry is particularly rampant, and the security situation at the racecourse is naturally even more severe, because war horses are not only of high value, but also an extremely important scarce resource. The imperial army needs it, and the bandits also need it, so the racecourses all over the country are full of thieves and bandits. Salivating target.

As early as a few months ago, Gao Kaishan asked people to build a two-meter-high bamboo and wood fence along the river.

Besides, after the father and son rode their horses across the suspension bridge, Gao Kaishan actually ordered the servants in charge of guarding to pull up the suspension bridge. The reason why he chose to hide it was that he didn't want his parents to worry about him, and he didn't want the whole family to live in fear every day.

In fact, Feiying Racecourse is still tens of miles away from Gaojibo, so Gao Bufan is not too worried that Zhang Jinzheng's people will find here, and in the battle of Gaojibo a few days ago, Zhang Jincheng suffered heavy losses and died a lot His subordinate, himself was also injured, and he was probably still hiding in the depths of Gaojibo to lick his wounds at this time, and he offended a powerful figure like Changsun Sheng, I believe Zhang Jin said he was even more afraid of the imperial court sending heavy troops to encircle and suppress him. Still free to seek revenge.

Of course, as the so-called careful sailing lasts ten thousand years, the behavior of his father Gao Kaishan is understandable, so Gao Bufan silently cooperated and brought a single sword with him when he went out. , like a general about to go out.

For a long time, Gao Bufan believed that his father, Gao Kaishan, should be a general rather than a horse breeder. His father was more suitable to be a general regardless of his body shape and temperament, but it was a pity that he was a horse breeder.

The father and son's horses traveled extremely fast, and they ran for [-] miles in a stick of incense, and they were still about ten miles away from the county seat. There was still plenty of time, so they slowed down. Let the mount slow down.

Just when the father and son passed by a lush mountain depression, Gao Bufan suddenly felt the feeling of being spied on again, he couldn't help but frown and wondered, could it be the grimacing man in black who taught the exercises last night?This mysterious old man is really a voyeur!
However, at this moment, an unusually strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart, Gao Bufan's hair stood on end in an instant, he hurriedly pinched his horse's belly, and shouted at the same time: "Father, be careful!"

Gao Kaishan was riding his horse forward slowly, when he heard the words, he quickly reined in the reins, and turned his head to look suspiciously, right between the lightning and flint, there were two sounds of strings in the grass, whoosh, two strong arrows shot at the father and son respectively two people.

The explosive power of the big green horse is undoubtedly quite strong, it takes about half a second from Gao Bufan's sharp clamping of the horse's belly to the sound of the string. Hurricanely flew forward for more than half of his body, so the sharp arrow swished and flew past Gao Bufan's back, but Gao Kaishan's reaction was half a beat slower. When he realized the crisis, the sharp arrow flew past Gao Bufan's back. It's already in front of you, there's no time to escape.

Gao Bufan was so frightened that his heart was torn apart, but his mind was surprisingly sober, his eyes instantly became as sharp as eagles, and in an instant, it seemed that the whole world was frozen, no, it should have slowed down, at this moment, In Gao Bufan's eyes, everything slowed down, including the sharp arrow that shot towards his father Gao Kaishan, he could even see the slowly rotating arrow's edge.

"Hit it, you can do it!"

A bold idea flashed in Gao Bufan's mind involuntarily, and his body also executed it in the same way, stretching out his hand and drawing the knife, leaning forward and slashing out.

I saw that Gao Bufan's body and the galloping big green horse were almost drawn into a straight line, the single sword in his hand turned into a shocking cold light, and with a crisp sound, the life-threatening arrow was sent flying out, and Gao Bufan Bufan and Daqingma rushed forward like a gust of wind for more than ten meters before stopping, and the horseshoes plowed two shocking deep marks on the mud.

Gao Bufan stopped his horse and suddenly turned his head to look around. Seeing his father Gao Kaishan riding on the horse, he immediately felt relieved and let out a long breath of turbid air. The feeling of weakness also hit him instantly. The knife just now seemed to be drained all at once. took all his strength.

Gao Kaishan was stunned at this time, he sat on the horse without any reaction. Fortunately, the attackers in the grass seemed to be stunned by Gao Bufan's sharp knife just now, so he didn't take the opportunity to continue shooting arrows!
"You Fang He, get out of here!" After all, Gao Kaishan is still very experienced, he finally came to his senses after being stunned for two seconds, shouted loudly, rode his horse into the grass, and blatantly unsheathed the waist knife hanging on the victory hook, Using the speed of the horse to make a move with a dragging knife, the place he passed was as if it was destroyed, and the weeds broke and fell one after another. The momentum was really unstoppable!
Gao Bufan couldn't help applauding secretly, he also knows how to drag a knife, and he is very skilled, but the aura he uses is far inferior to that of his father Gao Kaishan.Gao Bufan has never been able to understand why this happened. His strength is no weaker than Gao Kaishan, and his riding skills are no worse than Gao Kaishan, but it is the same move, but the momentum is missing, and his father Gao Kaishan doesn't explain it, just Let him practice more and experience it slowly in the future.

Whoosh, two figures jumped out from the grass and fled quickly to the distance, like two frightened hares, apparently forced out by Gao Kaishan.

It’s not that easy to run!

As soon as Gao Bufan lifted the reins, the big green horse Lightning chased after one of them, and the man obviously realized that he couldn't run away, turned around to face Gao Bufan, and slashed fiercely with his knife.

Gao Bufan raised his sword eyebrows, he waved his saber to meet him, only heard a loud bang, the man's saber was thrown flying, and he was so shocked that he rolled over on the spot.

Gao Bufan's arm strength was already astonishing, and with the help of the horse's charge, how could the man resist it? When he got up in a panic, the right hand holding the knife was already dripping with blood, and it was obviously broken.

Gao Kaishan galloped past without stopping for half a minute, and went directly past Gao Bufan to catch up with another assassin.

Gao Bufan turned his horse's head and looked at the assassin condescendingly. This guy was very faceless, with a bow slung behind his back. Even though his right hand was bleeding, he still stared at Gao Bufan coldly.

Gao Bufan frowned and asked, "You have a grudge against me!"

The assassin didn't snort, but just kept on guard!
"Since there is no enmity, then someone sent you here. Whoever it is, I will give you a pleasure if you tell me." Gao Bufan said murderously. He almost lost his father just now, which made him shocked and angry, so the killing has already happened at this time. Heart.

The assassin showed a disdainful expression, yes, disdain.Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he blurted out, "Was it Yu Wenhuaji, or Yu Wenzhiji sent you here?"

The assassin was slightly stunned, then waved his hand and said, "Want to know who is going to kill you father and son, get off the horse first, and I'll tell you."

"If you lie to me, you will die!" Gao Bufan sneered, and actually turned over and fell off the horse.

A gleam of joy flashed in the assassin's eyes, and he thought, this kid is so powerful, but it's a pity that he is a fool.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Gao Bufan said calmly, holding a knife in his right hand.

The assassin rolled his eyes, nodded and said: "You were right just now, indeed Yu Wenhua sent us to kill your father and son!" While speaking, his left hand secretly touched the back of his waist.

Gao Bufan sneered in his heart, pretending not to know: "Yu Wenzhi has a guard named Zeng Ada by his side. I have fought against him and he is very good. Why are you such a trash?"

"Trash?" The assassin was stunned for a moment before he felt overwhelmed. Knowing that he was despised by the other party, he was secretly angry, and said with a sneer, "It's just that each has its own strengths. Zeng Ada is good at fighting, and I am good at archery."

Gao Bufan said disdainfully: "Your archery is also rubbish!"

Immediately, the assassin was hit again, and he couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment: "A soldier can be killed but not humiliated."

Gao Bufan shrugged and said, "It's fine if you don't insult you, tell me, who sent you here?"

The assassin said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you that it was Yu Wenhuaji?"

Gao Bufan sneered: "Are you an idiot, or are you insulting my IQ?"

The assassin frowned: "What do you mean?"

"You speak Yu Huaji one by one, without any respect in your words, and then you tell me that Yu Huaji sent you here?"

The assassin laughed and said, "Boy, you still have some brains, but I'm really insulting your IQ, die—ah!"

The assassin suddenly raised his left finger to point at Gao Bufan, and shouted "death", but before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of light from the knife, and immediately blood splashed, and the assassin's left hand was cut off by Gao Bufan before he could straighten it. The severed arm and the contents in his hand fell together.

bang...

Gao Bufan kicked the assassin and turned him over. The latter clutched his wound and screamed and rolled over. Blood flowed from the cut, like a faucet that was turned on.

"Who is insulting whom?" Gao Bufan said coldly, then bent down to pick up the thing in his broken hand, and found that it was a small iron cylinder, about the length of chopsticks, with a switch on it. The machine includes.

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he pressed the lever against the ground, only to hear a light clang, and something shot out from the cylinder, and disappeared directly into the soil.

Gao Bufan's complexion changed slightly, grandma's, dare to love this thing is actually a sleeve crossbow!
