Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 291 The Man Behind
Father Qian's iron awl pierced the horse's neck, and a stream of blood spurted out.

The horse neighed and fell to the ground suddenly, and the dragged carriage couldn't be controlled. The shaft hit the ground and broke with a click, revealing the stubble of the wood.

The servant driving the carriage rolled to the ground, unable to stand up for a long time, the carriage also wobbled to a stop, and the people in the carriage were in a mess.

Father Tie's movements were extremely fast these few times, and when the carriage stopped, several servants in the carriage realized this, yelling and jumping out of the carriage.

When they saw Father Tie standing in front of him with a bloody iron awl in his hands, the girl had already taken the opportunity to run away, cursing, no one dared to go forward first.

Someone looked at the leader Hao Nu and shouted: "Boss Zhu, what should we do now?"

The leader Hao Nu was the leader of the servants in Xu Jie's mansion. Everyone called him Boss Zhu, and he was extremely favored by Xu Jie, so no one dared not listen to him.

Boss Zhu's face flashed sternly, "What else can we do, the matter is messed up, and the county magistrate will let us go when we go back?"

"If you don't do anything, kill this old man!"

After hearing this, several servants drew out the short knives around their waists.

The folk customs in the Northland are tough. In order to guard against horse thieves, almost everyone is equipped with a knife, and these servants are no exception.

This kind of short knife is more than one foot long and is easy to wear. It is too short for battle, but it is enough for normal use.

A servant raised his short knife and stepped forward. Seeing that Father Qian was still limping, he took advantage of a gap and stabbed Father Qian on the shoulder.

Father Qian was inconvenient to move, so he had to block the iron awl. The dagger at the head of the ring slashed on the iron awl and sank. Father Qian took the opportunity to block the opponent's arm with one hand. inside.

He made a stir, and the iron awl circled around the slave's wrist, and blood gushed out.

The servant let go with a scream and fell to the ground, but Father Qian took advantage of the situation and grabbed the short knife in his hand, a knife in one hand and an awl in the other.

When Boss Zhu saw it, he laughed and said, "I was wrong this time, I didn't expect to be a Lianjiazi."

"It's no wonder, at this age, who is still a blacksmith, who has never been a bandit sergeant, I am afraid that the old man used to be a yellow scarf thief, right?"

Father Qian didn't answer, but stared fiercely at the few people, picking and devouring them like a hungry wolf.

Boss Zhu saw a few people cowering, and shouted: "Let's go up together, greet each other back and forth, can he still have three heads and six arms?"

After hearing this, several other people quickly surrounded him, stabbing Father Qian one after another, and the two sides fought.
Although the servants were numerous and powerful, they obviously hadn't practiced martial arts very much. Instead, they were overwhelmed by Father Qian's counterattack, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Not long after, Father Qian had several wounds on his body, his body was crumbling, and several servants also clutched their thighs, fell to the ground and screamed, unable to get up.

Boss Zhu shouted: "Old man Qian, are you not afraid of being arrested and questioned?"

"Hurry up and put down your weapons, there is still a way to survive!"

Father Qian held the iron awl horizontally, and said coldly: "Boss Zhu, although I am a common man, I still have a temper."

"The county magistrate won't let us live, and I still stretch my neck so that he can't kill me?"

"After I kill you all, I will go back and kill Xu Jie. At worst, I will surrender to the government."

Boss Zhu heard this, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you were a yellow scarf thief, and you are full of gangsters. I'm afraid you ruined the envoy's affairs, and you still want to live a good life?"

Father Qian sneered and said: "I killed Xu Jie, if I survived, I would go to the envoy and ask the envoy, whose idea was it to rob people's daughters by force."

Boss Zhu was taken aback, then laughed loudly and said, "You're not stupid, you even figured it out."

"In that case, I can't keep you anymore."

He reached back into the carriage, and pulled out a three-foot-long ring-sword from under the seat.

Before everyone could react, Boss Zhu slashed back with a knife, and the neck of the coachman who was standing behind him was cut open.

This was beyond everyone's expectations, and several servants on the ground lost their voices: "Boss Zhu, what's going on?"

Their minds went blank. Seeing Boss Zhu's saber movements, it was obvious that he knew martial arts!

What's going on here?

Boss Zhu squatted down, took a few steps forward, and appeared in front of Father Qian!

Father Qian quickly raised his saber to block, but Boss Zhu kicked him out with a flying kick.

Father Qian spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, and his body rolled heavily on the ground several times, even the short knife and iron awl in his hand fell to the ground.

Several servants on the ground were overjoyed, and just about to struggle to get up, only heard a puff, Boss Zhu had already stabbed the ring-shou knife into one person's chest.

The man screamed and died.

Before the others could react, Boss Zhu slapped a few more knives and killed all the servants.

He walked slowly towards Father Qian, and said with a sinister smile, "Now there is no one in the way."

"I treat my old man very well. With so many people accompanying you on the road, you can die with peace of mind."

Father Qian didn't know that there was something wrong with Boss Zhu, so he grabbed the dagger and threw himself at Boss Zhu.

Boss Zhu had a sneer on his face, and raised his sword, and one of Papa Qian's arms flew in the air.

Taking advantage of the situation, he slashed down with his sword, cutting open Father Qian's chest.

Father Qian staggered a few steps, and fell forward to the ground, blood slowly flowing out from under his body.

Boss Zhu stepped on Father Qian's vest, wiped the blood from the knife on his clothes, and thought that the job was done now.

He looked back at the dead horse, and cursed, originally he wanted to ride away, but now he can only walk on his feet.

He was about to leave when suddenly his ears twitched, and he quickly stretched out his hand, scooped up blood from the pool of blood on the ground, wiped some on his face, pressed the knife to his side, and fell beside the wheel to pretend to be dead.

There was a sound of hoofbeats, and two horses gradually came chasing in the distance. Immediately, the two of them saw the carriage and hurried over.

The two jumped off the ground, but Tian Yu and his spies chased after them.

Seeing the dead bodies everywhere, he felt a little bit in his heart, and quickly called the spies to check the dead bodies together.

The spy recognized Father Qian's clothes at a glance, he went over and turned it over, and said in a broken voice, "That's the man!"

He looked at the surrounding corpses again: "These are those servants!"

Tian Yu became alert, something was wrong!
He shouted: "They are all dead? No one alive?"

The spy heard this and said, "The old man's granddaughter is not here!"

After hearing this, Tian Yu said, "Look carefully!"

Tian Yu and the spies checked one by one, and suddenly found something wrong, and asked, "Why are they all stabbed in the chest?"

Before the words fell, a female voice in the grass in the distance shouted: "The murderer is playing dead at the wheel!"

The next moment, Boss Zhu jumped up with a knife and slashed at the two of them!

Tian Yu was extremely vigilant, he threw himself forward, barely dodging the blade, but the spy did not have time to dodge, the knife was stabbed in his back, and he fell to the ground screaming, unable to stand up for a while.

Tian Yu drew out the long saber at his waist with his backhand, turned around and swung it back, there was a jingle, and the two sabers intersected, Tian Yu had already taken the opportunity to turn around.

Boss Zhu yelled and cursed, he heard the female voice in the grass was Father Qian's daughter, he didn't expect that she would dare to go and come back, spoiling his good deeds!

Otherwise, I would have succeeded in sneak attacking and escaped on horseback!
He didn't answer even more, the sword around his head shook, and he slashed towards Tian Yu like lightning.

Tian Yu concentrated and calmed down, and deflected the opponent's ultimate move one by one, guarding it tightly.

When he saw that the other party was dangerous, a thought flashed in his mind.

Dead man!

Still a master!
Xu Jie is a mere county magistrate, how can he hire such a person as a servant?

This thing is really wrong!

While he was blocking, Boss Zhu pressed hard, but he just couldn't take Tian Yu down.

Boss Zhu was in an irritable mood. The opponent only defended but not attacked, clearly trying to delay time!

There was another sound of horseshoes in the distance, Zhu Boss was distracted, Tian Yu saw it, and started to fight back with a knife!

In the past year, he had sparred with Tai Shici and Zhao Yun many times, and his martial arts had already been established in the room. This sudden attack, Zhu Boss was immediately unable to parry, and within a dozen rounds, he was stabbed in both arms, and the long knife fell.

Both of his tendons were cut off, his hands were drooping, he retreated to the side of the carriage, gasping for breath and grinning miserably, "I was really mistaken, I didn't expect to meet a master."

Tian Yu said coldly: "Get caught without a fight, and tell the truth."

Boss Zhu let out a miserable laugh, turned his head suddenly and rushed forward, the broken stubble pierced his throat.

Blood gushed out of his throat, and he fell to the ground motionless.

Tian Yu cried out in annoyance, he didn't expect the other party to commit suicide so resolutely, now all the clues are broken!

When Yuan Xi was talking with Chen Gui and Guo Jia in the mansion, he learned about what happened outside the city.

After hearing what happened, he said to the girl next to Tian Yu, "Are you the granddaughter of Father Qian?"

Although the girl looked sad and indignant, she held back her tears and nodded.

He said softly to the girl: "Don't worry, I will seek justice for you."

Yuan Xi said to Cao Xian who was beside him: "Take her to change clothes first, and tidy up."

After hearing this, the girl knelt down on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and followed Cao Xian.

Yuan Xi asked Tian Yu to sit down and said, "Guo Ren has worked hard. If you hadn't reacted in time, I'm afraid we would all be taken advantage of."

He turned back to Chen Gui and Guo Jia, "What do you think, gentlemen?"

Seeing Chen Gui making a modest gesture, Guo Jia said, "I'm afraid someone wants to drive a wedge between Xu Jie and Young Master, and take this opportunity to provoke trouble."

"But I don't understand, for a person like Xu Jie, what if the young master kills him?"

"A dead man is rare, and an expert dead man is even rarer. Can you send such a man just for Xu Jie?"

"If it's just to blame Xu Jie, there are plenty of ways, so why use such an easy-to-debunk scheme of conscripting civilian girls?"

At this moment, Chen Gui said: "Maybe the purpose of this dead man is not just to blame Xu Jie?"

"If things fail, you can set the blame on them. If things happen, you can take this opportunity to get close to the envoy and wait for the opportunity to assassinate him."

"Since he is a dead man, he may not have planned to survive from the beginning."

"In other words, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not. It's enough to let Xu Jie think that Xu Jie wants to do it..."

"In this way, if something happens to the envoy, Jizhou will definitely investigate it."

"This Xu Jie is Xu You's nephew, and Xu You is the third son of Yuan..."

Guo Jia's body shook, "Mr. is amazing, it's very likely that's the case!"

"Ginger is still old and spicy!"

Only then did Yuan Xi and Tian Yu think about it, and looked at each other, shocked at Chen Gui's ruthless thought that his name did not match, but also puzzled.

Who is so capable and stretched out his hand here?
Who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter?
However, everyone secretly rejoiced that a well-planned conspiracy accidentally fell on Father Qian and his granddaughter. It can be said that it was God's will in the dark.
