182. Capture the thief and capture the king first
The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.
It is said that the grain transportation team led by General Yang Quan Yang continued to go north from Yongzhou, passed through Pingzhou, and went to Fenzhou, where the Eastern Expeditionary Army was stationed.
The marching speed of the grain team will be so delayed, and it is also because of the new superintendent of the army and the great horse Gao Chen of the dynasty, what Gao Che did along the way really made the Geng Zhi sergeant who accompanied the army despised, even Yang Quan lost a good face along the way, but even so, no one dared to touch the brows of this court magnate at will, not only because he was a relative of the emperor, but more importantly, he was also the new army supervisor, even if it was the generalissimo Shuo Wang Xiao Tang, he had to take care of him.
Generalissimo Xiao used the excuse of 'attaching importance to national affairs' to order Yang Quan to do his best to escort the senior supervisor army all the way to the Fenzhou camp.
Yang Quan was resentful, but because Xiao Dashuai personally replied to the letter, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he had to follow the order.
Before the army was about to arrive in Fenzhou, Gao Chen put on a big show again, and then sent people to the Fenzhou camp to convey the message that they were about to arrive in Fenzhou, so that the Fenzhou camp could prepare a guard of honor to welcome him, the new superintendent of the army.
The team paused near Fenzhou for more than half a day, and it was not until the people sent out came back to reply that Gao Chen ordered the army to continue to advance, and only then did they arrive at the camp of the Chinese army in Fenzhou at sunset.
Sure enough, Xiao Dashuai had already sent someone to reorganize the army and order the sergeants to line up all the way to welcome the new imperial court superintendent of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and when Gao Chen got off the carriage, he was ceremoniously received by the sergeant who came to receive him, saying that Xiao Dashuai had been waiting in the big tent of the Chinese army for a long time, and asked the senior superintendent to go to the big tent to meet with him, and to wash the dust for the supervising army, and his tone was also very respectful and polite.
Gao Chen looked at such a majestic and solemn greeting, nodded with satisfaction, then lifted his robe, and strode with the sergeant to the big tent of the Chinese army.
When I arrived in the tent, I saw twelve sergeants in white armor standing on both sides, all with a stern look on their faces, and under the handsome banner, on the handsome position behind the wide table, one was dressed in military uniform, The general dressed in the white armor mountain armor sat upright, his shape was mighty and powerful, making people dare not look up, coupled with his hideous mask of the same color under the red tasseled phoenix wings, only revealing a pair of black jade-like pupils, emitting a sharp and cold gaze like an eagle falcon, as if he could see through the truth and falsehood of this world at a glance, just a glance can make people's hearts tremble.
Gao Chen saw that the general sitting on the handsome seat was so powerful and majestic, and he didn't feel a pang in his heart, just because he had seen Marshal Xiao, but this person must not be him, and he couldn't help but secretly guess who this person was;
Clenched the fist hidden deep in his sleeve tightly, Gao Chen glanced behind him coldly, only to find that the outside of the military tent had already been guarded by the sergeant impenetrable, and now he knew a little bit in his heart, tonight's gathering of wind and dust is really a Hongmen night banquet!
Gao Chen secretly thought in his heart, if he wants to rush out at this time, he is afraid that it will not be feasible for the time being, not to mention that he is now a prisoner, even if this group of people wants to take him, what can they do? Let's just calm the brakes and see the situation first.
Then he took a breath quietly, stepped forward, stayed in the tent, glanced at the twelve tall sergeants around him, then bowed with his fists, and said:
"In the next is Gao Chen, the former superintendent of the imperial court's hand-appointed army, I don't know the general's surname, can I tell you?"
Gao Chen said as he spoke, and his withdrawn hands gradually leaned towards his waist, and then pretended to be calm, and looked at the white-armored general sitting on top of the handsome seat with a smile.
The general was silent when he heard this, but he kept staring at Gao Chen with cold eyes, and Gao Chen was so frightened that cold sweat oozed from his back.
I don't know how long it took for the general, who was dressed in military uniform and wearing a hideous mask, to reply lightly and said:
"Marshal of the Northern Route Army - Xiao Jue!"
When Gao Chen heard this, he didn't feel that his face was different, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually Xiao Jue, the young marshal of the Yanyun Dragon Cavalry Guard from the north of the Mighty Desert.
But even so, Gao Chen was not very afraid of the future marshal of the Yanyun Dragon Cavalry Guard, Xiao Jue was just the marshal of the Northern Route Army, and now that he was the supervising army, even the generalissimo Xiao Yu had to be polite to himself, let alone Xiao Jue?!
Gao Chen stood with his hands in his hands, raised his head slightly, his tone was quite displeased, and said bluntly:
"It turned out to be Xiao Shaoshuai, long admiration, long admiration, Gao Chen came by the interest, I thought I could see the style of Generalissimo Xiao first, but I didn't expect to see the young marshal first, the young handsome is extraordinary, green out of the blue, so that Gao Chen is admired. It's just that I never thought that the etiquette of greeting Shangguan in this military camp was so rude, and such a big battle, didn't the young marshal want to give me Gao Chen a horse?"
As soon as Gao Chen's words fell, two deputy ministers in military uniforms walked side by side outside the tent, and these two were Luo Qing and Ziyu, who had been accompanying Xiao Jue's side.
Luo Qing snorted coldly, and then responded first:
"If it is really the senior superintendent army who greets them, the army will treat them as courtesy. ”
Ziyu beside her followed up and added coldly:
"If you are a petty and evil person, dare to impersonate the army, and want to do wrongdoing, of course, you can't forgive it lightly. ”
Hearing this, Gao Chen's heart sank, thinking that it was not the East Window incident, and the plan he had made before had already been recognized?
Hurriedly brushed his sleeves and pointed directly at Luo Qing and Ziyu, who were constantly approaching him, and slowly retreated, while angrily reprimanding:
"Bold, don't you want to assassinate this prison army?
Gao Chen's tone was a little flustered, but his actions were very calm, his hand had already touched a piece of software hidden on his waist, and his body that retreated cautiously became closer and closer to Xiao Yu behind him.
Shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, if it really comes to the point of exhaustion, he doesn't mind breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, and taking the opportunity to hold that Xiao Jue hostage may be able to win a glimmer of life.
Luo Qing immediately pulled out the saber at his waist, pressed step by step, and said coldly:
"Thousand-faced lewd fox, your identity has long been revealed, I advise you to be arrested, explain everything you know and the people instructed behind you, and maybe you can still leave a whole corpse, otherwise, in an instant, you will be wiped out and die without a place to be buried!"
Now, Gao Chen's eyes suddenly released a cold light, and his killing intent suddenly came to life, but he was still at the end of the crossbow, so he flatly denied it, and said:
"I am the former supervisor of the army appointed by the imperial court, and you dare to assassinate me, if I really die in front of the tent, see how you explain to the imperial court and the soldiers in the army!"
Ziyu sneered, and then said:
"This is not bothering, the senior supervisor army is not happy because of the hard work of the road, and is now recuperating in Pingzhou, so General Yang Quan will first escort the grain and grass to the Fenzhou camp, so now except for us, no one knows that the senior supervisor army has come to the Fenzhou camp!"
Gao Chen was slightly stunned, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said:
"What a trick to invite you into the urn, it turns out that you have been waiting here for me to throw yourself into the net!"
Gao Chen's words undoubtedly admit that he is not the real Gao Chen, and he knows the real thing very well.
And the twelve brave Yanyun dragon guards in the tent also pulled out the Mo knife in their hands one after another, and surrounded Gao Chen one after another, just waiting for the young marshal to give an order, and immediately take down the thief.
"But I'm a thousand-faced lewd fox, and I'm not easy to mess with!"
The thousand-faced fox sneered a few times, then quickly jumped up, pulled out the soft sword on his waist, and rushed straight to Xiao Jue, this sword is fast and sharp, coupled with the light skill of the thousand-faced fox, and he is more proficient in the method of assassination and death, as soon as this move comes out, it is almost a life-fighting move, bursting out, and it is unguardable!
I knew that this thousand-faced silver fox was by no means a good type, and this time when I saw that its assassination was fast and accurate, although I had already taken precautions, it also made Luo Qing and Ziyu feel nervous in their hearts at this critical juncture, and the two of them whispered "Young Marshal" in unison, and they rushed over to rob and kill the thousand-faced lewd fox.
But Xiao Jue kept sitting upright and did not move, which made the thousand-faced fox secretly happy for a while, only to feel that this Xiao Jue was nothing more than that, in the face of such a life and death situation, he was already frightened and at a loss, it was really heaven to help people!
Seeing that the sharp sword in his hand was about to pierce Xiao Jue's throat, the thousand-faced fox was so excited that his pupils suddenly widened but he was deeply shocked to see Xiao Jue's pair of mighty eyes.
The thousand-faced fox was secretly surprised, but he never thought that there would be such a good hand around Xiao Jue, looking at his sharp sword technique, such a strange and decisive move, it was somewhat similar to his own moves, and the thousand-faced fox vaguely guessed in his heart who the person hiding next to Xiao Jue was, such a treacherous hand must be a shadow guard!
Who is this Xiao Jue, and why is there a Shadow Guard by his side?
The thousand-faced fox reacted very quickly, and immediately returned his hand to resist the opponent's knife momentum, a sword and a sword were in mid-air like this, only to hear the life of the bell, the fire appeared, the blade overflowed, this sword and sword swept from the bottom to the top in front of Xiao Jue, and for a moment, it seemed to hurt Xiao Jue's eyes.
But even so, I didn't see Xiao Jue dodge for half a minute, even his eyes didn't blink once, and when the sword left his eyes, the mask on Xiao Jue's face was cut by the blade, but after a while, only a crisp sound was heard, and the mask in front of Xiao Jue's face was split in two, suddenly revealing his world-like and martial face......
The thousand-faced fox suddenly caught a glimpse of it unintentionally, and suddenly his face turned pale, and there was an incredible look on his face, and he blurted out an exclamation unconsciously and said:
"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
The thousand-faced fox lost his mind for a moment, and was reversed by the charm that appeared in time to protect Xiao Jue, and was forced to stay away from Xiao Jue, and when he stood still again, he fell into the encirclement of Luo Qing and others, and it was difficult to have a chance to get close to Xiao Jue again.
Xiao Jue, who has always been indifferent and expressionless, after hearing the unintentional exclamation of the thousand-faced lewd fox, her eyes suddenly tightened, and she saw all the moves of the thousand-faced lewd fox clearly, such a decisive assassination move, even if it is hidden, it is clearly from the same source as the shadow guard, plus the panic of the thousand-faced lewd fox when he suddenly saw his face, as well as his sentence 'His Royal Highness the Prince', these made Xiao Yu instantly understand that this person is also a shadow guard, and he should be the shadow guard next to the prince's brother back then!
Clenched his fists tightly, Xiao Jue indifferently slowly raised his head and looked directly at the thousand-faced lewd fox, his eyes suddenly rose with cold hatred and anger to the bone, only to hear Xiao Jue say extremely cruelly and coldly, saying:
"Mei, pick off his tendons and tendons, and keep his mouth alive!"
A black figure that appeared on the table in an instant, after hearing the master's order to himself, replied respectfully and without warmth, and said:
"Obey!"
......
"Wan'er ......"
In my sleep, I suddenly saw Wan'er suddenly glaring at me, scared me to wake up from the dream, the whole person fell from the tree, if it wasn't for the quick reaction, hurriedly hooked the branch with both legs, came an upside-down golden bell, I was afraid that at this moment I had already fallen under the tree, if I fell like this, let alone have to put a big bag on my head.
Hanging upside down on a branch like this, he stretched out his hand and patted his chest, slightly relieved his pounding heart, wiped the cold sweat on his face, recalled Wan'er's angry expression in Fang Cai's dream, and couldn't help but shiver.
After looking at the gentle moonlight tonight and calming down a little, I let go of my legs hanging from the branches, and spun neatly in mid-air, and my feet finally landed safely.
If I ask why I fall asleep in a tree, it's to hide from the beasts in search of food, the army, the bandits, and the like!
In order to rush to Jinyi to find Wan'er, in the siege of Pengcheng, I took advantage of the opportunity of the Southern Chen army to temporarily stop the offensive on Pengcheng, and used some means to successfully escape from Pengcheng, and continued to go north in the direction of Yecheng, the capital of Northern Qi.
Although the weather is getting colder and colder, as long as it is not raining, I will hide in the higher camphor trees or boxwood trees for a while, and people dare not sleep too deeply, lest something happen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a meal and sleeping in the open along the way.
Although these days are hard and panicked, there is still hope in my heart, and every nap has become a warm harbor for me to miss her, because I can always see Wan'er in my dreams, whether it is joy or sorrow, as long as I can see her, no matter how hard and difficult, I can persevere, because I said that I will definitely return to her.
It's just that this time I actually dreamed of Wan'er's angry appearance, seeing that Wan'er was really angry in that situation, otherwise, how could I be so scared that I almost fell from a tree!
If my daughter-in-law is really angry, the consequences will be very severe......
A cold wind blew, I couldn't help but shiver, crossed my hands and rubbed my arms a few times, trying to slightly relieve the cold of this winter, this day is really getting colder, I am afraid that it will not be a month or two, it will have to snow heavily, I only hope that before the heavy snow comes, I can rush to Jinyi to meet with the Northern Wei army.
Just as I was thinking to myself, there was a faint sound of sparse and sparse sound in the half-human-high dry reeds not far away, and there was a tendency to get closer and closer, I didn't feel a tight look, and immediately hid behind the tree, and slowly fell to the ground, thinking that there was some wild beast that was frightened somewhere, so Tang scurried in the grass in horror?
Then he took out the short knife in his arms, thinking that if the beast that could be cleaned up was cleaned up, it would also be a good choice to save a few rations for the next trip.
But in the end, it was not a frightened beast, but a person, who seemed to be a seriously injured person!
Because this man's front feet only came out of the reeds, Xu was too anxious to walk and tripped over the soles of his feet by the stone pit, and the whole person fell straight out, and he was not seen standing up again.
The smell of blood in the air made me quickly realize that this man was most likely being chased and killed, and he was seriously injured and fled here, and I didn't want to be nosy, waiting for this man to walk out of the forest by himself, but I didn't expect this person to suddenly faint to the ground, and then there was no movement.
I muttered for a long time, and then looked around, and found that no one followed, so it seemed that this person had escaped for the time being.
Sighing slightly, in the end I still couldn't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, so I cautiously approached the person who fell to the ground and fainted, knocking on this person seemed to have really fainted, and then I stretched out my hand to turn the person over first, and see clearly whether this person was a man or a woman.
But I was still negligent, my hand touched the corner of this man's clothes, this man's hand suddenly choked my throat like an iron tong, and the body around me, and then detained me to death, if it were not for this person's injury, the strength of his hand was loosened, I am afraid that it will not take a moment, I will really be strangled to death by this person.
"Live...... Stop......"
I struggled desperately, spitting out these two words intermittently, almost instinctively to protect myself, and the short knife in my hand was looking for the best time to send it to the other person.
When I saw the appearance of the person in front of me clearly through the moonlight, both of us were a little stunned, the short knife in my hand did not pierce the other person's body, and the hand that was holding my throat suddenly loosened, and for a while I couldn't help coughing violently, gasping for breath, thinking that I was lucky to have picked up another life!
Before I could say anything, this man's body was completely pressed down, but it tossed me enough, this time he really fainted, I couldn't help but sigh, it's really hard to be a good person!
Pushing this person away, I sat up hurriedly, and glanced at the person who fainted due to excessive blood loss, I really didn't expect that I really had a close relationship with this person, how long has I been away from Pengcheng, and I can meet him again in such a desolate place.
This person is none other than the young general on a white horse who saved my life at the downstairs of Pengcheng City that day, that is, the Pengcheng guard who gave me a flatbread and a pot of water that night......
He actually went out of Pengcheng, could it be that Nan Chen had already broken through Pengcheng?
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, with Ouyang Qi's strength, it was impossible to be defeated by Nan Chen's army in such a short period of time. If it weren't for that, then how could he have escaped from Pengcheng alone?
I couldn't help but shake my head, since I had met him, I couldn't see death without help, so it was better to take him to a slightly safer place first, and then help him check the injury.
Suddenly remembered that there were some abandoned houses nearby, at least for the time being, it was a safe place, the weather was getting colder, and he was injured again, but he was afraid that he would be cold, and it looked like he had to build a fire to keep warm!
After paying attention, he sighed, thinking that it would take more effort to carry the person to the abandoned house, but when he really carried the person, he found that he was not as heavy as he imagined, and he muttered a little in his heart.
But when I really solved this puzzle, it was when I examined his injuries, and it wasn't until I took off his clothes that I realized that this person was not actually a man......
Well, yes, she's not a man, she's just like me, she's a woman dressed as a man - a woman!
I couldn't help but sigh, I noticed something strange at the time, why didn't I find out earlier?
......
