此時乃漢中平六年,當今皇上乃漢孝靈皇帝劉宏。自漢殤帝起,外戚、宦官勢力相繼興起,漢室皇權逐漸沒落,國勢傾頹,昔日輝煌早在戚宦之爭中蕭然殆盡。漢靈帝即位以來,氣候反常,天災頻繁,旱災、水災、蝗災相繼肆虐。四處怨聲載道,百姓民不聊生。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAodvdncJcSE

此刻是立春節氣,立春之日本該生機蓬勃,萬物盛放,但天氣反常,狂風暴雪在官道上咆吼奔馳,一隊約二十來人的官兵領着囚車在道上緩緩前行。囚車四周圍了七人,三人在前,二人在後,剩餘二人各站左右。剩餘的官兵則跟分開兩行排在七人身後,但見這七人在嚴寒中也只是穿著束腰勁裝,並沒披上厚衣,面對如此惡劣的天氣仍面不改容,神態威武。反是官兵們即便身穿厚衣,仍凍得面色發青。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAH2sRv28lOY
1131Please respect copyright.PENANANTKanF9TTU
即便如此,官兵們均不敢有所怨言,默默地跟在那黑衣人的身後,只因他們知道這些人的來歷並不簡單。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAznHXjMsHIu
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAAhGO7mFbOa
同樣地,在囚車内的那人,也不簡單。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAls3myNbvOU
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAE0HARSanFd
這些官兵並沒被告知押送的是什麽犯人,但他們大多都是有經驗的老兵,當他們收到命令押送犯人之後,無緣無故走出七名黑衣人出來領頭,這押解隊伍的人數又是遠遠少於平時,他們便知道這次的任務並不尋常。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAn8frKxSARq
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAqKZ1XGQQU9
尤其當他們看到那綁在黑衣人左臂上的木牌時。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAnVRKRRhYt9
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAp3jF355bda
那木牌黑沉沉的莫約一巴掌大,驟眼看上去沒有任何奇特之處。但認真一看,每塊木牌上均似有光影流動。原來這些木牌上均刻有一個由點線相連的奇特圖案,刻紋內灌注水銀。而這木牌的手工也極是精細,也不知用了什麽方法,竟把水銀封在木內沒有流出。水銀眩目亮麗,使這黑沉沉的木牌奪目至極。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAZSefCISqSU
1131Please respect copyright.PENANA5DneXT0JnO
黑衣人步履穩健,排在最前的三人均是身型高大之輩,虎背熊腰,在冷風中依然裸露健壯的雙臂,肌肉如老樹盤筋一般的扎實。中間那人背上負着一柄身高與自己相若的巨斧,另外二人均是手持大刀,遠遠看去,三人就如三隻黑熊般。排最後其中一人身材矮小,文質彬彬,似是知書識禮的大儒,另一人卻是又胖又矮,背上挂著一個大錘。至於分站左右的,左邊一人臉上有一道顯着的傷疤,手上拿著一卷軟鞭,另外一人細眼馬臉,後腰插着一柄鋼鞭。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAH5VSpzI2E4

一名年紀較輕的官兵低聲詢問身旁的同伴:「老王!這些傢伙到底是什麽人?怎那麼神氣?」1131Please respect copyright.PENANAnVqkQ2HhKr
1131Please respect copyright.PENANASfv4hHX8Eb
那老王年先是推搪不知,但年輕官兵堅持問下去,老王違拗不過,先是看了看前面的人,然後低聲回應道:「他們是張常侍麾下的“十四星”!」1131Please respect copyright.PENANA9jFfu01jkx
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAUWoYRJoI8c
年輕官兵渾身一震,驚訝地張開了口,說不出話來。那老王向着囚車內的犯人努一努嘴,低聲道:「他,便是與黃巾賊大戰的盧植將軍!」1131Please respect copyright.PENANAKEGtNwrFTr
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAyScyI4Dqk9
年輕官兵的臉上訝色更甚,壓着聲音問道:「居然是盧植將軍!?」1131Please respect copyright.PENANASX7Rb4Arlw
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAQPRJZW2nK2
「還不是麼?」老王聲音壓得更低,生怕旁邊的人聽到:「盧將軍在抗黃巾之時得罪了十常侍,後來被常侍稟報天子,說他故意按兵不動,怠慢軍心。皇上龍顏大怒,所以……」說到這裏,老王瞄了前方「十四星」一眼,也就不說下去,那年輕官兵自然也就識趣,不再說話。1131Please respect copyright.PENANA5BFGFEuemx
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAcadRw74ifS
十常侍耳目眾多,為首的張讓麾下有特務組織「紫微十四星」,裏面的十四名成員全捨棄本名,各取紫微斗數十四主星之一為名。盧植乃是張讓朝中大敵,好不容易把對方捉住,這次竟是派遣了一半的十四星前來押解,正是天同、廉貞、巨門、天府、天相、天梁、武曲七人。1131Please respect copyright.PENANA1BowBR9orr
1131Please respect copyright.PENANATzENVIOCrd
眾人一路無話,再走了莫約兩個時辰,來到洛陽城外一名曰十里鄉的地方。這十里鄉雖名為鄉,但實則乃小鎮規模。進入十里鄉之後再過莫約半日路程便能到達洛陽。眾人見還有半個時辰便會入黑,此處也已近終點,七名十四星商議過後決定在此歇宿,明早繼續趕路。1131Please respect copyright.PENANACZLGGyhGIb
1131Please respect copyright.PENANA13owVXoI7m
眾人進得鎮來,但見鎮上不但沒有一人,大道兩旁的店鋪更全都上了木板,整個十里鄉直如死鎮一般。七人除天府乃智囊之外,均行走江湖多年,見此異狀均自心道:「雖然快要入夜,但也不可能一人都沒有。難道鎮上所有人都是為了躲避風雪?」1131Please respect copyright.PENANAlTsWyhRqXE
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAt9hhevxjB1
十四星作為張讓私兵,自是能力過人,押解盧植又是事關重大,不得有任何差錯。七人各自提高戒備,領着官兵在了無人煙的道上緩步而行,來到了當地的驛站。1131Please respect copyright.PENANANcoUH0eGmz
1131Please respect copyright.PENANA0ANV35xXOL
此時,天色已漸漸入黑。眾人來到驛站。天同、廉貞、巨門三名先鋒見驛站大門緊閉,但不似鎮上其他店鋪,門前並無上了門板,心下存疑,不敢輕舉妄動。
那年輕的官兵見三人不動,以為他們自恃身份尊貴而不願叫門,他心想若得十四星賞識前途可是無可限量,於是向老王等幾五名官兵打了個眼色,然後眾人從後繞了上來,走到驛站門口大聲呼喝道:「喂!開門啊!咱們可是要運送犯人到東都的!」1131Please respect copyright.PENANAOrpn5AKL2E
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAhEmqCLclim
他們喚了幾聲,驛站內仍然沒有人回應,六人互視一眼,便想強行推門而進。但一推之下,竟發現大門極重,似是後面有什麽從後頂住一樣。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAuWOdL1j8Pw
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAlChwnrmP3Z
眾官兵互相打了個眼色,十二隻手掌一起抵着大門……1131Please respect copyright.PENANAIgBkKwfB6T
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAoHPiMZBofh
此行十四星中,要數智囊天府最是細心,此刻他心中浮出一陣不祥的感覺,立即大喝道:「慢!!」1131Please respect copyright.PENANA0VnN85SJRW
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAgaYqdrFRqU
可他仍是慢了一步,幾名官兵用力一推!然後同時聽到輕輕「咔」一聲。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAL2KfspoeNj
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAsiiwCpS283
這一聲,是來自閻王的喪鐘。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAoNqKzSEIho

1131Please respect copyright.PENANAD1wJoExxNI
轟然巨響,木門的隙縫中忽然有火舌吐出,瞬間變成一條沖天火龍。驛站立時陷入火海之中,年輕官兵與老王等人全力推門時怎預料到有此結果?他們閃躲不及,頃刻便被火龍吞沒。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAD5ToJ6FuRJ

着火的五六人一時間未死,各自大聲呼救。北風嗖嗖,與呼救聲混合一起,別有一番淒厲恐怖。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAu4ko5l0yCn
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAg2jST9okC6
十四星雖然早就覺得事不尋常,但絕不想到敵人會在驛站佈置如此毒辣的詭計,待醒覺過來之時已經太晚。七人不敢亂動,有兵器的六人各自緊握自己的兵刃緊緊盯着四方,隨時準備迎戰,天府則站在囚車旁,抽出一把兵刃架在盧植脖子上。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAzzhMNntowz
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAUwg1YuToj0
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAWchwoiUXZB
北風繼續怒吼,但十四星的視線範圍内卻沒有出現任何敵人。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAQbDFM5EQBz
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAlG8LATRTeB
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAwdwPr3JERs
呼救聲漸漸落了下來,地上多了數具看不清面目的焦炭。1131Please respect copyright.PENANA9WOGBoeSpU
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAAp4BIgBwpp
驛站的火越來越大,漸漸蔓延到旁邊的店鋪。熱浪縱使撲面,但天氣寒冷加上四處陰森可怖,眾人也不覺如何熱了。1131Please respect copyright.PENANApphwnR8Lgv
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAgOhVdUSbwZ
剩下來那五六名官兵見奇變頓生,驚惶失措嚷着要立即離開。天同向眾人怒吼道:「別慌!」他身材高大,面相兇狠,這麽一喝自然有他的威嚴。眾官兵不敢造次,但心裏已驚懼交加,恨不得立即背上長雙翅膀振翅離去。1131Please respect copyright.PENANA3lKA3mTACb
1131Please respect copyright.PENANARV0WdOmKIW
天府心道:「敵人定是要救盧植,這十里鄉也不知埋藏着多少機關陷阱,還是趁早離去為妙。」一念及此,與同伴低聲商議後,決定立即起行。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAfT74Z8Aezj
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAXz4VHWbC6b
眾人不敢作絲毫停留,急步而行。但他們才拐了個彎走出大道,排最前的天同聽得「嗖」的一聲,罡風撲面而來,連忙舉起兵刃擋格,但覺虎口劇震,手中巨斧險些脫手。但見一支箭矢掉落地上,天同望向遠處,卻不見發箭之人蹤影。
天同心中震驚,暗道以自己目力方圓數里内就算有蟲蠅飛過亦難逃他法眼,難道發箭之人在數里之外?如此一來,非六七石弓絕不能至,暗算之人臂力當真非同小可。
他仍在思緒之間,但聽又是「嗖」「嗖」「嗖」連續數聲,那人一連幾箭激射而至,目標正是天同、廉貞、巨門等三名先鋒!1131Please respect copyright.PENANAdK6bdb3W0c
1131Please respect copyright.PENANANnr41AMmTh
「喝!」廉貞頭還沒轉過來,左手短刀「嗆」的一聲拔出鞘來,把射向他面門的羽箭打落。但他身後那三名官兵則沒有那麽幸運了,但聽慘呼連連,箭矢全部穿胸而過,三名官兵應聲倒地斃命。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAxGMHYy4TwU
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAGrAxlwXEux
「豈有此理!」廉貞怒吼一聲,循着箭矢射來的方向瞧去,見得不遠處似有一人從屋簷下躍了下去,廉貞把右手長刀拔了出來,一邊大喝:「休想逃跑!」一邊向該方向急奔而去,頭也不回地向兩名同伴喊道:「我去追!你們先走!」他腳步極快,話還沒說完,人已經消失在剩餘兩人視野之內。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAvvihZf48tR
1131Please respect copyright.PENANACcJ8r2pLkC
巨門拔出鐵鞭,道:「我跟他去!」1131Please respect copyright.PENANA9CfhfIZelv
1131Please respect copyright.PENANACZV4ZFXdcc
天同雖然看上去粗枝大葉,但他在這三人裏面最為心細,拉着巨門的肩膀道:「慢!小心調虎離山之計!」巨門一怔,暗罵自己輕重不分,也不多說,便與天同帶着剩餘的兩名官兵押着盧植離去。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAfFzBxJX8TQ
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAiDhkAQcpwJ
去到鎮口,天同那如銅鈴般的大眼忽然瞪得更大,他舉起右手,身後那兩名押解盧植的官兵一驚,止住腳步。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAyvmY56ZyQS
1131Please respect copyright.PENANA8g8Rc0VtQu
天同與巨門目視前方,同時取出他們的兵器。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAiXQhJOkejI

只因一人擋在道前。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAvWqU20hrHd
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAmmafw3bmpg
來人白衣勝雪,頭髮、口鼻也用白巾覆蓋,只露出一雙眼珠,雙手各持一不過三尺的銀桿短槍,整個人如融入了白雪之中,若非兩名十四星眼利的話,常人恐怕連看也看不到他。
此人凝立在鎮口一動不動,腿旁放着一黑沉沉的包裹,不知何物。1131Please respect copyright.PENANATCmQt8iN0P
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAmo4D63XfkZ
天同心道:「敵人看來不止一人,不知廉貞現在如何?會否遇到不測?」1131Please respect copyright.PENANAi58M4ayKhf
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAZoNHTD56u4
去到此時,天同心底已感煩躁。紫微十四星為張讓剷除異己,一向均是敵人在明,他們在暗。但這次押解盧植,從進入十里鄉後處處被動,己方損失嚴重,但敵人的實力與數量仍是謎團。這等情況天同從來未遇,想着想着,手心冷汗澿澿流下,心中忐忑不安。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAB5WgL6OrTe
1131Please respect copyright.PENANAs2yyOQPvaZ
「小心有詐。」
天同低聲提醒巨門。驛站外的機關仍心有餘悸,他不敢對眼前的敵人有任何鬆懈,小心翼翼地迅速望清身旁一切。1131Please respect copyright.PENANA0sI2G9x3bv

天同與巨門合作已久,心意相通,二人打了一個眼色,巨門知道天同會向對方展開攻擊,自己則在原地看守盧植,以防對方援兵伺機搶奪。1131Please respect copyright.PENANAS8uAPt5Rb6
