Chapter 92
Zhao Liangyue said that their silver lining is Chi Tingyu.
This sentence was confirmed in the morning of the next day. When the deputy general of the Ningzhou garrison who stayed on the southern border of Ningzhou realized that something was wrong, he led his troops south according to the order Jin Hao had left before. The bandits stopped him in every possible way, and Xiangyuan City had already sealed off the pass on the grounds of suppressing the bandits.
Everything seems to have been premeditated, there are some hands in the dark, trying to weave the nightmare of 15 years ago again.
Jin Hao and Youbai fought bloody battles, led a group of people to break through the siege, and drove to the southwest for a whole night. They were already exhausted, but they were greeted only by an endless swamp.
Everyone's expressions were dignified, and their hearts gradually sank.
For more than fifty miles along the way, there are no traces of Fan's army in the densely populated villages and towns, or in the mountains and forests. Now it has come to an end-the swamp in front of me is called the smoke marsh, and few people will mention it because it is remote. It is desolate, but no one will really forget it, because it is one of the junctions between Southwest and Tuyuan. Snakes and ants are full of poisonous miasma, and the environment is extremely harsh. I don’t know how many lives are buried here. There is no exit. big tomb.
Ahead, are the Jedi.
Behind is the pursuer.
Jin Hao and Youbai got off their horses, and after asking Zhao Liangyue's opinion, the group quickly set up an ambush among the reeds.
Even if they were destined to be buried here today, no one would be captured at this moment.
Zhao Liangyue and Chu Bandit hid in a pit surrounded by thick reeds. Zhao Liangyue leaned on the unconscious Chu Bandit on his shoulder, holding a knife in his hand.
Zhao Liangyue pressed his cheek tightly against Chu Bandit's forehead, feeling his constant body temperature and breathing, and felt a little relieved.
"Senior brother," Zhao Liangyue called softly, as if thinking of something, smiled, and then continued, "There is one thing, I made the choice for you, you can just treat it as selfish."
Soon, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and then a large number of troops from the black market killer and Xiangyuan City defenders appeared in sight, pressing down like dark clouds.
Just when the troops were about to step into the ambush range, a middle-aged man in a blue robe who took the lead raised his hand and ordered to stop advancing—this man was the rumored richest man in Xiangyuan City, A Xisui. Judging by his name, he should be Mo He is from the north, but from his appearance, he should be from Tu Yuan.
Seeing Nan Xing beside him pointing to this side and saying something, Axisui raised his eyes and smiled, and let the archers behind him come forward.
Zhao Liangyue felt bad.
When Wang Yu was there, he was only three years old as a teacher and apprentice. The masters taught to him were good strategies for governing the country and the way of benefiting the people. The art of war was relatively weak, but Chu Bandit was different. Therefore, Zhao Liangyue also learned a lot from Chu bandits in his art of war.
The ambush plan he discussed with Jin Hao is certainly a good one. Make full use of the convenience of the terrain, use reeds to cover the swamp and the border of the land road, and then lead the troops over.But he forgot for a moment that Nan Xing had followed Chu Bandit for many years, so he must know Chu Bandit better than himself, even if he showed signs of similar style to Chu Bandit, Nan Xing might see through it at a glance.
The rain of arrows came overwhelmingly, and the people who were in ambush could only show up and expose themselves in order to avoid it.
A Xisui winked at Nan Xing, and Nan Xing rushed over with his men, apparently wanting to catch him alive.
Jin Hao drew out his epee with a bang, and concentrated his energy to meet the comer with all his strength.
Nanxing's Miao Dao collided with Jin Hao's epee, sparks flew everywhere, and there was a huge shock from the tiger's mouth, but he didn't show any effort.
A Xisui, who was riding a horse not far away, glanced at the fight here, then at Youbai, and asked the Two-Headed Leopard next to him with a smile: "Didn't you say that the young man is very skilled in martial arts, why hasn't he moved yet?"
The Two-Headed Leopard kept staring at Youbai, frowned slightly, and said: "I'm afraid he is looking for Nan Xing's flaws, he... is not good!"
As soon as the words fell, Youbai made a sudden move, and Nan Xing's head was chopped off instantly.
The two-headed leopard rushed over with a scimitar in hand, Jin Hao whispered to Youbai beside him, "Accord to the plan made last night."
Youbai nodded, and also replied in a low voice: "Then General Jin, remember to protect my young master."
Jin Hao smiled: "Don't worry, it's no worse than your little doll."
The two-headed leopard stepped on the stirrups and jumped up from the horse's back, slashing at Jin Hao with a knife in the air.
Jin Hao turned sideways and couldn't dodge in time, so he swung his epee obliquely to catch it, and then the two began to fight.
The Two-Headed Leopard was originally wary of Youbai's sudden attack, but now it wants to go all out against Jin Hao. After yesterday's fight, Youbai saw that although the Two-Headed Leopard is powerful, Jin Hao can completely defeat him, and The only place where he lost was a tricky word, the two-headed leopard's moves were not like the martial arts of the Central Plains, so Jin Hao couldn't defend against them.Therefore, Youbai specially gave Jin Hao the countermeasures to crack the Er-Headed Leopard's moves. Jin Hao's family of martial arts has mastered it very quickly, and this time he can do his best to fight the Er-Headed Leopard to a tie.
Seeing that the situation was not good, A Xisui felt that if Youbai made another move, they might have to kill someone, so he immediately ordered the killer and the defenders to come together.
Youbai did not kill the two-headed leopard as A Xisui expected, but in the chaos, he put Chu Bandit on his horse, and using himself as a shield, he led about a hundred elite soldiers and attendants along the swamp to the south. Breakthrough from deep mountains and dense forests.
A Xisui's subordinates wanted to gather to catch up, but they were stopped by A Xisui, and said: "Young master, there was news that this Chu Shangshu has a deep affection for the official named Zhao Liangyue beside him, and it is unlikely that he will abandon him. Run by yourself."
Not long after the words were finished, a subordinate came down to report: "Master, there is a man in a green robe who sneaked north and was discovered by our people. It is Zhao Liangyue!"
"Sure enough." A Xisui said, "Zhao Liangyue should have brought something more important, which is to report to Ningzhou, no wonder Chu bandit is willing to go first. Come here, send two troops to chase Chu bandit, and the rest Go catch Zhao Liangyue! Anyway, the young master is about to arrive, and no one can escape when the time comes."
After turning eastward and westward to shake off the pursuers, Youbai and his party entered the depths of the southern mountain forest.
All the dew on the branches and leaves of the dense forest was rolled up by the intruders. Yubai felt that his face was covered with dew from flying insects, and his clothes were soaked. It was warm in mid-spring. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Bandit Chu on his back breathed tremblingly, and Youbai hurriedly asked someone to hack out a place with a knife, put him down carefully, and called the military doctor to come over to check the situation.
The military doctor beckoned to the attendant to wipe Chu Bandit's sweat with a dry handkerchief, then opened the medicine box, knelt down and felt the pulse.
"This is where?"
Bandit Chu woke up at some point, with half-closed eyes, looked around half a circle, and asked Youbai in front of him in a weak voice.
Youbai replied: "It's the mountain forest to the southeast of Yanze, we walked separately from Young Master."
Chu Bandit had a bad premonition and asked, "Go separately?"
"Yeah, Young Master and General Jin discussed it yesterday. If you don't meet Senior Chi, I will protect Shang Shu and you all the way, and Jin Hao will go with Young Master." Youbai explained, and she began to feel something was wrong, and was stunned. He stopped, and began to doubt, "But there are very few pursuers behind us..."
Bandit Chu coughed anxiously several times, and said, "Take someone back to rescue Xi Lin, he must be using himself as a bait to cover... Cough cough, go!"
Youbai said: "The Shangshu..."
"Go quickly, I will stay here with the military doctor, if I leave, I will leave a mark."
Youbai immediately gathered the people and rushed out of the Beishan forest.
Kyoto Imperial Palace, cold palace.
At dusk that day, a eunuch appeared in front of the dilapidated and deserted palace gate, and said something to the guards, who hurriedly retreated.
After all the palace people disappeared at the corner, a man with a cloak appeared, followed by six guards, the leading guard stepped forward and opened the palace door, and the eunuch bowed to help the comer step in.
The entire abandoned hall was filled with a musty smell, the doors and windows leaked wind and rain, the weeds were barren, and there was no palace attendant. In the middle sat a woman in coarse linen who was doing needlework. It was the abandoned Queen Wang.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, turned her head excitedly, and then showed a frightened expression—the visitor raised his hand and lifted his hood, revealing the same pair of eyebrows and eyes as the former queen.
"It's you!" Wang raised her finger tremblingly and pointed at Ji Xuan. Feeling the murderous aura around him, she kept stepping back and said, "What are you going to do? If you turn against the sky, I will be you no matter what." Mother! Besides, the Han family is still here, and my son is still here, aren't you afraid that they will turn against you?"
"Reverse!" Ji Xuan laughed suddenly, with a few strands of madness, "I just want him to rebel, and if he doesn't, how can I have the opportunity to completely shatter your emperor's dream? I'm afraid that he is a coward. Don’t dare to go against this palace!”
"No! You don't have the ability." Wang said, "I know him well, no matter how much he feels ashamed of your mother and son in his heart, he can't give you all the power while he's alive. You don't have the ability at all now. Deal with Prime Minister Han!"
Ji Xuan laughed twice, and said: "I don't need to bother you about this, you just need to know that I am here to kill you today."
While speaking, Ji Xuan turned sideways and pulled out the guard's knife. As soon as Wang arrived and had no way to retreat, his back hit the pillar and let out a scream.
"Please, don't kill me!" Wang knelt down almost instantly, "I can do whatever you want, I still want to live, I don't want to die!"
Ji Xuan looked at the panic-stricken woman in front of him, her hair was messy and embarrassed, and she felt extremely happy: "To be honest, I don't want to come to this kind of place at all, only pigs and dogs live here, but I really don't want to live here. I want so much to see you die."
"Forgive me, please! I never did anything dangerous to your mother and son. I just want to give my son the best. The death of your mother and concubine has nothing to do with me. I..."
Wang couldn't finish his sentence, because Ji Xuan swung his knife without hesitation, sealed his throat directly, and the blood exploded in a line, and then splashed around.
Ji Xuan felt the warmth splashed on his face and smelled the smell of blood in the air. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but excited and happy, and stabbed Wang Shi twice.
Wang fell down with her eyes full of fear, and quickly swallowed her breath. There was a large pool of glaring blood under her body.
Ji Xuan looked at the miserable situation in front of him as if admiring a painting, exhaled a long and comfortable breath, and said to Wang's dead body: "You are wrong, I have never avenged my mother, I am only for myself, Your mother and son's high-spirited look, I have hated it since I was a child, obviously I am the heir of a country, the future Daxu Emperor, you are also worthy?"
As he said that, Ji Xuan did it himself, gouged out Wang's eyeballs with the tip of a knife, and the guards beside him who were accustomed to killing couldn't help but feel chills down their spines.
"Take it, give it to the fifth prince directly at the spring banquet tomorrow." Ji Xuan turned around and threw his eyeballs to the accompanying eunuch. The eunuch was frightened and terrified, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only catch it with his cuff.
Ji Xuan looked at the pale faces of the seven people behind him, put the knife back into the sheath, and walked out leisurely, as if he didn't come here to kill people, but to enjoy the scenery.
