241 Danger lurks
Chapter 241: Danger lurks
The autumn rain is like silk, it has not stopped for ten consecutive days, the sky is high and depressing, the ink clouds float on it, and there is a dull sound of thunder.
On the official road ten miles away from Qixia Mountain, the ground shook, the horse's hooves flew, and among the winding mountain roads, it was like a black dragon coming out of the mountain and surging forward quickly and swiftly.
After the victory in the South China Sea, Zhen Yunze immediately ordered 5,000 people to rush back to the royal capital with him, and Qingyang and his people stayed on Yingzhou Island to assist the king of the South China Sea in dealing with the aftermath.
The news of the queen's death has already spread to the whole country, and the big cities and small counties have hung white flags for this generation of stunning legends, but only he knows that the life and death of Lan Ying, who was robbed by the man in red, is unknown, and the royal brother suddenly announced the death of the queen of the world at this juncture, there must be something wrong in the palace!
What could it be? The Chili League also doesn't know, in the royal capital, Yuan Ziyue and Lan Ke are in charge of the Chili League, and they didn't send the news to the Donglai Pavilion, could it be that even the Nanxing Tower and Wanfu Tower had an accident?
She has always done things in a measured way, why didn't she pass on a word to him?
Will she...
With this thought, he only felt cold to the bone, and he couldn't wait to fly back to the royal capital immediately.
"Lord Wang, the road crossing of Qixia Mountain in front of you is blocked by rocks, do you want to detour?" a scout turned back and knelt on the ground to return to the road.
Mt. Suxia is a branch of the Okuyama mountain and the gateway to the hinterland of the Okuyama range, and is located on the eastern side of the Okuyama mountain range.
He was ready to leave the Black Armor Army in the camp in the hinterland of Aoshan to rest, and he took his relatives through the Hanyu Valley in Qixia Mountain, as long as he crossed the Biluo River and took the waterway ashore quickly, he could reach the royal capital within three days.
However, if you detour at this moment, not only will you delay time, but you will also have to detour half of the mountain range from east to west before you can enter the hinterland of Okuyama.
Without hesitation, he said, "Move the rocks away and move on." ”
Soon, a column of infantry officers came out and followed the scouts to clear the obstacles.
Zhen Yunze looked at the soldiers who were going away, and his heart suddenly became suspicious, this road is the only place to connect Zhongling County and Nansha County, and the daily supplies of the Aoshan camp must also enter and exit here, before returning he had already written to the commander of Aoshan, if there were roadblocks on the main road, why didn't they clear the way for the army in time?
Thinking of this, he shouted coldly: "The whole army is on alert, release signal smoke!"
The Black Armor Army has always acted swiftly, but after waiting for half an hour and not coming back, the horses under the seat have begun to be restless, and Yun Ze gestured, ready to go to see what was going on in person.
At this moment, the birds in the mountains in the distance flew into the sky, flapping their wings and flying into the distance with a panicked formation.
Everyone was shocked, and immediately took up the troops and marched forward.
However, when we arrived at the entrance, the barricades had cleared, and there were still rocks, but the soldiers were nowhere to be found.
What's going on?
Looking at the entrance of the narrow and dark mountain road, Zhen Yunze said coldly: "The generals will listen to the order, and the troops will be divided into four routes, and they will make a detour to the hinterland of Aoshan from the rear fork!
Four generals dressed in general armor knelt down to dissuade: "Lord Wang, please think twice, this place is very weird, I am afraid that there will be fraud!
The sword of the Dark Tan of Zhuan Yunze was unsheathed, and with a wave of the sword, the broken rocks on the gorge wall suddenly fell one after another: "Those who resist the order are killed! Immediately set off without delay!"
After speaking, he glanced at Fu Yi, who had already finished ordering, "Let's go!"
※※※
You Xue took five hundred elite starry nights through Changping County and crossed the Dusk Tan Canyon on the border of Zhongling County, seven days later.
She was dressed in black, her black hair was combed into a man's bun, and her thin figure stood at the water's edge looking at the jungle on the other bank and frowned.
The five hundred elites were transferred from the Yu Wei Division, all of them were hidden guards in the royal palace on the outskirts of the royal capital, and this secret soldier probably didn't even know about Zhen Yunze, they were all elites that Cheng Wu had carefully trained for the emperor over the years.
A burly, square-faced middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed, his name is Wen Chang, is the left Xiaowei of the Yu Wei Division, from the mouth of the Jin commander learned that this person is the emperor's henchman, it is said that after the death of the chief of the inner chamberlain, this person took the place of the head of the inner chamberlain, and his person is as cunning as a fox and has a deep mind, which cannot be offended.
Along the way, he was both defensive and obedient to the man, and he did everything according to his instructions.
"Passing through the dense forest on the opposite side is the Cold Jade Valley?" You Xuetou didn't reply, and asked in a deep voice.
Wen Changqian corrected: "Back to my father-in-law, Hanyu Valley is in the dense forest, but... There are many miasma and swamps here, and there are few human tracks. ”
You Xue could hear the disapproval in Wen Chang's heart, and she also felt that these people were more wary of her than obedient.
She pointed to the red cloth bag in her bag under her feet, "All the pills here are dissolved in hot water and dissolved, please ask Brother Wenchang to order fifty people from the elite to take the decoction and follow me into the Hanyu Valley, and the rest of the people," she pointed to the gorge wall to the east, "From the gorge soldiers into Zhongling County in two ways, follow the return route of the Black Armor Army." ”
Wen Chang frowned, his dark face was a little puzzled, and seeing that she didn't want to say more, he picked up the pill and walked towards the roasting rack behind him.
On the fire, the people of the Ministry of Health were roasting the fish caught from the water, and some people were gnawing on the dry buns they carried with them to eat, looking like they were gobbling up, obviously they were very hungry for days, and finally rested by this river beach, everyone was exhausted, busy with hunger and rest.
They were amazed that this little chamberlain was refreshed all the way without any fatigue, and they couldn't help but feel a little admiration in their hearts.
If You Xue could read minds, she would probably smile evilly: I'm sorry, I'm not human after all.
But she didn't have the heart to contact everyone at the moment, the situation in the royal capital was about to erupt, she knew that the wind was quietly arranged, but her heart was always uneasy, and the pair of demonic golden eyes were always hovering in her mind.
In the face of forces too strong to be countered by manpower, all the intrigues and fortified walls are glazed rubble, shattered with a single blow.
And at this moment, the closer she got to the boundary of Zhongling County, her familiar sense of crisis also appeared, which was not an intuition, but a keen sense of smell when facing the approach of crisis after several killings.
What must she have overlooked?
Wen Chang had already selected fifty guards and let them drink the hot medicinal soup one by one, and suddenly broke out in a hot sweat, and at the same time felt like drinking Qionglu, his body was light, and the internal breath condensed in the dantian was surging and vibrating and flowing through the meridians, and they all looked at You Xue in shock.
When You Xue felt the burning gaze behind her, she also noticed that there was a strange aura around her, her eyes lit up, did she finally come?
The soldiers around him also noticed the movement, and stood with their swords in hand, concentrating on vigilance.
From the west side of the river beach, two people slowly appeared, one with white hair and eyebrows like a fairy, and the other with black clothes and armor, it turned out to be Ah Sui and Wang Lian.
You Xue frowned and watched the two of them appear, only surprised but not excited, she said to the soldiers in a deep voice: "It's okay, it's your own people." ”
This story was brewing for about five years, and hundreds of thousands of words were deleted and rewritten before and after, and finally written in such a way, I didn't think how many people would accept it, because they just wrote it as they liked, and they just wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Thank you for always accompanying you to read it, thank you for reading this story, Mo Mo Da~
