Chapter 157: A Cold Glow
Two hours ago, Gao Heyi held Meng Boqin's seal letter in his hand and ordered the guards in Yizhou City to send Meng Jiaqian out of the city at night and enter the garrison of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
At the same time, the 1,000 Northern Xinjiang Army had already packed up and stopped, and just like when Lu Shiyu received Sheng Weiqiao's aunt and nephew, after confirming that Meng Jiaqian had been placed in the carriage, he immediately set off.
However, due to some considerations, they did not take the official road, but copied a remote path and retreated in the direction of the Central Plains.
After stepping on the trail, I probably felt that the road was very hidden, and there would definitely be no one passing nearby, so there was no need to be silent anymore.
Two guards...... This time it was a real guard, who grew up with Meng Jiaqian, and knew that he was in a bad mood at this time, so he specially pulled his horse over and whispered comfort through the curtain.
Meng Jiaqian regretted seeing them, in fact, as Meng Boqin's sister-in-law, he had a group of descendants, that is, he was a small servant who served him when he grew up, and a sparring partner when he practiced martial arts.
It's just that Meng Jiaqian was seriously injured before, and it was inconvenient to live in the military camp to recuperate, and Rong Sleeping Crane did not allow him to bring the army into the city.
Because he lost a mess before he arrived in Yizhou City, even if Meng Jiaqian has always been very favored by Meng Boqin, he will inevitably feel weak in his heart, so he held the idea of "let the people around Daddy help me say something good", and ordered a group of soldiers who were related to Meng Boqin's side to accompany him, but left his cronies in the army.
At that time, he thought that this would not only facilitate his relationship with the relatives of his father, but also the guards who had betrayed him, and the real army would also have his own henchmen to watch, so that he would not lose control and understanding of the army because he was not in the camp.
Who knew that Gao Heyi came quietly and didn't say anything, but also brought Meng Boqin's seal letter and threw him out at once?
At this moment, listening to the whispers of the guards who grew up together, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, thought about it for a while, raised the car curtain, and asked in a low voice: "Where are you going?" ”
A personal guard said: "General, let's go to Yanbodu first." ”
"Yanbodu?" Meng Jiaqian was stunned when he heard this, although he had lost very badly before, but in fact he was not a person who did not learn and did his homework before coming to Western Xinjiang, and after thinking about it a little at this moment, he remembered that Yanbodu was not on the only way from Yizhou to the Central Plains?
I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you go there?" My uncle told me before that Yizhou City was in great danger right now, so I couldn't stay there. Aren't you going to send me back to the Central Plains now? ”
The guard was embarrassed: "If you return to the general, your subordinates don't know!" I knew that this was the order of the head of the Gao family, so that after we got there, we would find a hidden place to hide and stand by. ”
"Standby?" Meng Jiaqian muttered a few words, and was suddenly startled, "Uncle is obviously afraid that I am in danger, so he specially dialed a thousand of you, saying that he wanted to escort me." Why do you still want to be on standby? Eighty percent, because he wants to calculate whom, but he is afraid that the remaining little manpower will not be enough, so he wants us to go to the neighborhood together, if his side goes well, it will be fine; If he misses, let the person escorting me come forward to help? ”
The two guards looked at each other and shook their heads.
They had been in the camp outside the city before, and they had never even seen Gao Yi's face, so how could they know such a secret?
Meng Jiaqian also knew this truth, and he didn't expect them to be able to solve his doubts at this moment, his face was cloudy for a while, and he said to himself, "On this eye, the person who my uncle wants to calculate must be related to the overall situation!" ”
And related to the overall situation of Western Xinjiang, at present, the first to recommend Mizhen County Wang Rong Sleeping Crane.
However, since it is to Yanbodu, it must not be Rong Sleeping Crane, because Rong Sleeping Crane must still be in Yizhou City at this time, and he will soon receive the news of Ruru's attack, so he will not be able to leave.
As for others, even if they hold important positions in the Yizhou Mansion, it is not enough to affect the overall situation.
Think so......
Meng Jiaqian's face turned pale: "Princess of the county?!" Uncle wants to ambush the princess?! ”
He subconsciously leaned out and grabbed the arm of the guard closest to him, "Tell me, has the King of Mizhen County received the news that Ruru is approaching Yizhou, so he ordered someone to escort the princess of the county out of the Western Frontier?!" ”
The guard was startled and said blankly, "General, this ...... This...... This subordinate doesn't know? ”
"But since the princess of the county is leaving the western frontier, how can she go to Yanbodu?" Meng Jiaqian let go of his hand in disappointment and continued to think, "That place is not a shortcut...... Or does Mizhen have some secret hand there? ”
He thought for a while, and suddenly came to his senses, "Could it be that my uncle did something to the valley he passed through when he came, so that they had to take a detour?!" ”
This is a very possible thing, Meng Jiaqian didn't know the news that Sheng Weiqiao had already been escorted by Lu Shiyu to leave Yizhou at this time, he thought that Sheng Weiqiao was either still in Yizhou City, or he was just leaving for a short time or waiting to leave. And Ruru's forward is only less than three days away from the offense, if the narrow valley is manipulated and cannot be passed for a short time, Sheng Weiqiao's situation is obviously very dangerous.
After all, with her identity, especially the fact that she is still pregnant, it is enough for Ru Ru to venture deep into the depths of the army alone to capture her!
And that narrow valley is not far from Yizhou City, although the remaining soldiers and horses in Meng Jiaqian's hands should not be underestimated, but Sheng Weiqiao's importance to Rong Sleeping Crane should not be underestimated in terms of emotional or substantive interests. Meng Jiaqian didn't think that Rong Sleeping Crane would neglect the protection of his wife, because although Gao Eryi was one step ahead, he might not be sure that he would be able to succeed in one blow, and it made sense to let Meng Jiaqian act after suppression!
"Mi Zhen has always been cunning, such a critical terrain in the narrow valley, there are not many roads from Yizhou, will he not always pay attention?!" After Meng Jiaqian figured out Gao Yiyi's plan, he didn't feel that this uncle was clever at all, but was shocked into a cold sweat, "If my uncle really did something in Narrow Valley, can he really hide it from him?!" ”
What would he do if Rong Sleepy Crane knew early in the morning that there was a change in the narrow valley and that his princess would be forced to take a detour to the nearest Yanbo crossing?
Meng Jiaqian recalled what happened to his group when they passed through the narrow valley a few months ago, and knew that although the news of Jishan thieves defecting to Rong Sleeping Crane had not yet come out, they were cautious and careful when they passed through this place.
Not only did they send spies to search the entire narrow valley back and forth, but they also asked people to climb the cliffs on both sides to inspect it.
It's just that the Jishan thieves have been entrenched in the western Xinjiang for a long time, and they don't know much about this narrow valley, so they just managed to get a few Jedi that looked like they were natural, or they couldn't climb up at all, so they wouldn't suspect that there was an ambush above, so they just hid Meng Jiaqian and his party.
When the army escorted Meng Jiaqian into the narrow valley and walked to the middle position, it was a dilemma, and the wooden rolling stones came down one after another, and the group woke up to the plan.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jishan bandits had been bandits for many years, whether it was military discipline or cooperation with each other, they couldn't be compared with the regular army, let alone an elite division like the Northern Xinjiang Army, Meng Jiaqian would have been wiped out at that time!
After this time, he still has palpitations, and the muscles on his face are beating and jumping at this moment: "This county king is deep in mind and accustomed to calculation, how can he be a good person!" Although my uncle is an elder, what he is good at is only deception in the mall, but now they are fighting with each other!! ”
If he played a business war with Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife, Meng Jiaqian was still very confident in Gao Jiyi; However, in major military affairs, Meng Jiaqian, who grew up in northern Xinjiang and was born in the army, is not very optimistic about Gao Yiyi.
Or intentionally or unintentionally, he felt that he grew up in the frontier and was taught by Meng Boqin, a hussar general, even if Meng Boqin's military talent is far inferior to General Zhou, in the end he got into the position of commander of the northern Xinjiang, and he can be regarded as a decent general.
Thinking of this, he was very anxious in his heart, and said to the guards in front of him: "Go and pass on my order: don't get close to Yanbodu!" ”
"But the head of the Gao family said......" The two guards were stunned when they heard this.
"I know my uncle has my father's seal on him!" Meng Jiaqian thought quickly and said, "Some people who came to Xijiang with me chose to listen to him, otherwise I wouldn't have been forcibly sent out!" So now, you're going to listen to him too? ”
The two guards hesitated for a moment, and finally shook their heads: "The subordinates are the general's people!" ”
Their choice was not all out of loyalty to Meng Jiaqian, but also because of the fact that Meng Boqin was in a high position and power, and there was no shortage of loyal people around him, let alone the two young soldiers.
If you are loyal to Meng Boqin, I am afraid that there will be no benefit in turning back, and you will also lose your trust in Meng Jiaqian, the son of the Meng family, and you will completely lose your future.
chose Meng Jiaqian, who was seized by Gao Yiyi at this time, as long as this son does not sink in the future, there will always be their benefits.
Taking a step back, even if Meng Jiaqian is in a slump from now on, the future is slim, and if Meng Jiaqian does not fall, he will eventually have a share of wealth. At that time, as the guards who have shared the tribulation, they will not be treated badly.
The guards considered this, and Meng Jiaqian also knew in his heart that he had no time to worry about it at this time, so he said bluntly: "Since this is the case, then listen to me!" ”
"General, the camp is now in charge of Vice Admiral Meng, although we are willing to be driven by the general, but people are soft-spoken, what can we do?" The two guards glanced at each other and whispered, "The news of going to Yanbodu to stand by was said by Vice General Meng." ”
The deputy general they talked about, named Meng Cheng, was one of the servants that Meng Boqin brought with him when he went to northern Xinjiang.
This time Meng Jiaqian came to the western Xinjiang, Meng Boqin made him a deputy general, Meng Jiaqian thought that his father doted on him, and he was a deputy general of some age who was born in a family, so he was naturally a head shorter in front of him, and he could not only use his experience, but also did not worry that he would look down on him as a young coach.
As a result, I realized at this time that the co-author Meng had already made two preparations!
“…… In this way, you now go and invite Vice General Meng over! Meng Jiaqian's heart was mixed at the moment, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Let's just say that I seem to have a broken wound and look bad." Then ......"
The next words became lower and lower, and only the two guards in front of them could hear them.
The more the two guards listened, the paler their faces became, and after a while, they trembled and said, "This ...... Checkmate! This......?! ”
"Do you follow me, Bo Yi, who is trying to survive in death, or listen to Gao Yiyi's layman's random command and walk into someone's trap in a daze...... The choice is yours! Seeing that they seemed to tremble and refuse, Meng Jiaqian's face sank, and he said in a low voice, "The eldest husband should act decisively and happily, such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, what can be done in this life?!" ”
…… After a while, the sweaty guards led Meng Cheng to the carriage where Meng Jiaqian was placed: "General, go in and have a look!" ”
When the guard said this, his voice trembled a little, and his face suddenly changed, lest Meng Cheng see the flaw, but Meng Cheng only said that he was worried that after Meng Jiaqian had three longs and two shorts, as a personal guard, Bacheng would be angry with Meng Boqin and his wife, so he was afraid and didn't take it seriously, but he was in the carriage with all his energy: "Fifth grandson, are you okay?" ”
As an old servant of the Meng family, Meng Cheng said that he did not forget his roots, and his fault was not on important formal occasions, otherwise he would call Meng's children in the tone of a servant.
After calling at this moment, it was only after a while that a little muffled movement could be heard, which seemed to be mixed with painful moans. Yin, thinking of what the guards said, Meng Jiaqian was talking to them well, and suddenly fell in the carriage, Meng Cheng was anxious, and asked the guards behind him: "Where is Meng Ling?" Didn't you say you went to hire a military doctor?! Why hasn't it arrived yet! ”
Meng Ling is the companion of the guard behind him, this guard is called Meng Ting, hearing this, his face turned pale and smiled, trying not to wipe the cold sweat on his cheeks: "My subordinates don't know!" ”
"Why don't you hurry up and take a look?!" Meng Cheng shook off angrily, jumped off the horse, climbed onto the wheel of the slow-moving carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and asked, "Fifth grandson, ...... you?" ”
Before the words fell, he saw that in the swarthy carriage, a cold cold light suddenly erupted, heading straight for his chest and abdomen!
