Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Because the snow is too heavy and the cliff is too rugged, it is impossible to see the cliff from the cliff, and similarly, the cliff does not know what is going on the cliff. Hearing the rumbling sound, the two people at the bottom of the cliff hurriedly hid in a half-recessed mountain rock, and looked at the huge carriage that fell half a meter below their feet in horror.
Both were drenched and shivering. One person was wearing a pure white brocade robe, and a large hole was cut in his abdomen, because the cold weather and the bleeding stopped quickly, he could still stay awake, otherwise such injuries would have been seen by the king of Hades. One was dressed in a black military uniform, holding a large knife tightly in his hand, his leg bone seemed to be broken, and he was half-kneeling on the ground.
A wide river runs through the mountain stream, and it has all frozen into ice due to the cold weather. There was a huge ice cave in the river not far from where the two were hiding, and a sleigh was half sinking and half floating, and the six mastiffs pulling the cart had been drowned for a long time because they could not break free from the reins, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
"Hide quickly, or you'll be smashed into pulp." The man dressed as a guard exhaled, and then arched his hand, "Lord Wang, wait for your subordinates to go and check if there are any living people." β
"Be careful." The man in brocade spoke weakly.
The guard answered, carrying a broadsword and moving over step by step, and with the tip of the knife picked open the wooden planks scattered everywhere, and no one was alive, but a bear skin, a tiger skin, a flattened hand warmer, and many bulging packages.
The guard was overjoyed, hurriedly picked up the things he needed, quickly returned to the rock, and handed them to the master, "Lord Wang, there are two animal skins here, you quickly wrap them." There is also a hand warmer, warm! When I open it and see if there are any unextinguished charcoal balls, we can make a fire. The package is soft to the touch. It should be a dry change of clothes inside. Lord Wang, you are blessed with a great life, and this time you will definitely be in trouble and turn danger into disaster. β
"I hope so. I don't know how the Thirteen Emperor Brothers are now. The man in brocade frowned.
"Lord Wang. Don't think about these things, it's better to warm up. As he spoke, the guard wrapped his master in a tiger skin and covered the bear skin on the outside.
"You wrap it up too. Neither of us can die! The man in brocade held his subordinate's wrist hard and said firmly.
The guard nodded with red eyes, and said in his heart that if he could go back alive, he would definitely find out the spies around the prince and crush them to ashes.
It turned out that the two were Yinzhen, the fourth prince of the dynasty, and Li Wei, the commander of his guards. The reason why he was exiled here was also plotted by others. In recent years, the weather has been very abnormal, with floods in the summer and severe drought in the autumn. Winters are bitterly cold. It's okay in the north, because the people there are used to extreme weather, the houses are well built, and the coping measures are in place. So life is still passing. But the South is different. In particular, the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, because of the heavy snow that has fallen in the past two months, the people here have never encountered such terrible weather, and there are no preventive measures, and the crushed houses and frozen people and animals can be seen everywhere, and the disaster is very serious.
After receiving the report, the emperor specially approved 8 million taels of disaster relief silver, and did not want to be robbed by local mountain bandits when he passed through the area of Luoying Qiankong Rock, which caused the Manchu Dynasty to shake. The Falling Eagle Thousand Hole Rock is a place where bandits are plagued. Bandits are rampant and have become a trend for decades. The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times. However, because of the steep terrain of the Falling Eagle Thousand Hole Rock, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the karst caves inside the mountain are connected in all directions, it provides an excellent hiding place for the bandits, and each attack ends in a fiasco, and several generals are buried in vain.
Especially in winter, these bandits stepped on sleighs, dressed in pure white rabbit skins, buried themselves in the snow and attacked passing merchants, snatched things and quickly pulled them away, hiding in countless caves. They come like lightning and go like a wind, even if the gods fall from the sky, they can't help it, so the imperial court mostly focuses on recruiting security, supplemented by strong attacks.
However, the number of robberies this time was really huge, and millions of people were still waiting for the disaster silver to save their lives, so the emperor finally made up his mind to eradicate the bandits, and specially sent the fourth prince Prince Yong Yinzhen and the thirteenth prince Prince Yi Yinxiang to come to Jiangnan secretly.
The heavy snow covers the mountains and makes it difficult to walk, and the bandits' dens are hidden, how should this battle be fought? The two princes negotiated for many days, and finally agreed on a plan to lure the enemy. There is a cute animal called "civet" with a very large nose, like a cat and a squirrel, this kind of smell is very keen, and the small animal is very human, if the local hunter gets one, he will regard it as a jewel, raise it, and hunt it better than any intelligent hunting dog.
Because of curiosity, Yin Zhen brought back one when he went to the Western Regions, and it was carefully domesticated, which came in handy at this time. He asked the officers and soldiers to pretend to be grain merchants and deliberately pass by the Qiankong Rock of the Falling Eagle, and hid the favorite incense powder of the civet at the bottom of a grain bag, preparing to use the civet to track the specific location of the bandit's den, and then attack overnight to annihilate it in one fell swoop.
Who would have thought that the bandits not only robbed the grain, but also secretly lurked behind the camp of the two princes, came to strike first, and broke the identity of the two princes, and kept saying that they were going to turn against the Celestial Empire. To make matters worse, some of the officers and men in the battalion connected with foreign enemies and turned against each other. Yin Zhen was caught off guard and retreated one after another, and was separated from the thirteenth prince Yinxiang on the way, and it was easy to get rid of the pursuit but fell into the ice cave, which was really a disaster. The two ripped off their heavy armor and robes, struggled out of the ice cave, and just climbed ashore to catch their breath, Liu Yu's broken car fell from the sky, and they didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.
The animal skin is very thick, wrapped around the body to block some cold wind, Yin Zhen rested for a while, saw that Li Wei wanted to open the hand warmer, and hurriedly stopped, "It's windy here, even if there is a spark still alive, I'm afraid it won't burn, wait until you find a shelter and then open it." β
"But Lord Wang, we are both injured and have difficulty walking, if we don't hurry up the fire, and wait for the beasts in the mountains to smell blood......" Speaking of this, he quickly stopped, silently unwrapped the package beside him, hoping to find dry clothes.
Yin Zhen's expression was gloomy for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal, and said lightly: "There is no way to be endless." As soon as we got ashore, the car fell off, which shows that God gave us a glimmer of life. Aren't there a lot of packages over there? Let's open it and take a look, maybe we can find something that keeps us alive. β
Li Weiben also wanted to smile, but after unwrapping the package, his face changed, and he said incredulously, "Who is this?" When I go out in winter, the clothes I bring are all light summer clothes! Look at this material, it will break as soon as the wind blows! After finishing it, he limped to the side of the car, unwrapped all the packages, and put some unknown things, which were completely useless. Also occupy the place.
Yin Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This person has been plotted just like us." These packages are afraid of being dropped when traveling, and the real practical ones are left at home. Even if you don't fall off the cliff, you will freeze to death in this ice and snow. After speaking, he looked up at the sky and sighed.
Li Wei felt something in his heart, and lowered his head to hide his desperate expression.
"Hey, here's a test-taking post. This person didn't know that the hospital examination had been postponed until April next year, and the news was concealed by someone with a heart. "Yinzhen is very good at making fun of hardship, picking up the famous post and studying it carefully. I saw that there was information such as name, age, ancestry, and guarantor written on it. It made him stunned. Strange, this person may have something to do with himself.
In a moment when Yin Zhen was stunned, a few pieces of gravel suddenly fell from the top of the cliff. Li Wei hurriedly helped his master to avoid it. Look up at the sky. I saw a person jumping left and right by the protruding rock on the cliff wall, and he was even lighter than an ape who was good at rock climbing, and fell into the snow in the blink of an eye.
Only then did the two realize that the person who came was a teenager in his early tens. A pair of phoenix eyes were slightly raised. The pupils are large, black and purple, and there is always a smell of indifference when they look at it, and the skin is whiter than snow, and the lips are crimson like fire. This kind of appearance is really handsome, but it is not the gentle beauty that is admired nowadays, but it reveals a strong evil and piercing coldness, which makes the hearts of onlookers tremble.
For a moment when the two were stunned. Liu Yu had already paced to the side of the broken car, looked at the unwrapped package and sneered: Sure enough, they are all useless things. Zhao Dezhu bothered! Fortunately, the darkness is inlaid with a layer of iron sheet, and there is a lot of wood as a buffer, so it should not be damaged.
Thinking like this, Liu Yu kicked off the broken wood and pried open the iron sheet, and pulled out a huge package sewn by Aunt Bao herself from cowhide from the intact dark grid, standing up to the height of a person, firmly tied to the wooden board with the reins, and dragged away, as if there were two people standing not far away.
Li Wei was a little dumbfounded, annoyed that he hadn't searched carefully just now, and maybe this package would fall into his hands, so he opened his throat and shouted, "Little brother, please stay, can you take me and others with you?" It's good to take care of each other. He said it tactfully, but he stepped forward with a knife, his eyes full of threats.
Liu Yu patted his head and muttered, "Hey, I almost forgot, but fortunately, I was reminded by you." Then he walked towards Yinzhen, spread out his palms, and said with a smile: "This thing can't be lost, otherwise it will be very troublesome to make up, and please return it to my brother." β
Yin Zhen handed over the name card and looked at the strange young man in front of him without a trace.
Liu Yu stuffed the name card into a cowhide package, and then spread his hands and said, "This bear and tiger felt and stove are also mine." β
Li Wei was very annoyed when he saw that he didn't care about himself, and saw that he was so unsympathetic, wearing a dry and thick cotton robe, and a huge package in his hand must contain a lot of life-saving things, and he refused to even give two skins and a stove, he was really cold and selfish to the extreme, and his hand holding the knife was tight.
Yin Zhen's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to stop it, but he didn't expect the young man to suddenly turn around and smile at Li Wei, and said warmly, "I advise you not to do it with me, otherwise you will die earlier." The words fell and broke off a rock on the cliff wall with his bare hands, and kneaded it into powder with his five fingers together. Although he likes to solve problems in the simplest way, it is not suitable for violence at the moment, not that he can't bear to attack the two wounded, but that he is a young man who looks like a master and has great luck.
Li Wei was horrified, and then realized that the young man's martial arts were far above him, even if he was not injured, he was probably not his enemy, so he slowed down his expression and pleaded softly, "This little brother, as the so-called saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." Your martial arts are strong and the materials are complete, it must not be difficult to take us out of the mountain, and please forgive the offense below and save us. As long as we can get out safely, we will be thankful. β
Although Liu Yu was a little jealous of the young man's luck, he did not reach the "fearful" Cheng DΓΉ, he forcibly stripped off the animal skin on the two of them that was cut by Aunt Bao's own hands, hooked his lips and said, "If you are me, will you save it?" Fang just wanted to kill people and seize money, but in the blink of an eye, he talked to me about morality, which is really ridiculous. β
Seeing too many conspiracies and tricks, Li Wei's kindness has long been worn out, of course, when encountering a similar situation, he only protects himself, who cares about the life or death of others? Immediately blocked speechless.
Yin Zhen, who had never spoken out, smiled lightly at this time and said, "Save, of course I have to save!" It's a living human life, how can I bear to watch him die in front of me. β
Li Wei glanced at his master strangely.
Liu Yu laughed, and Chong Yinzhen gave a thumbs up, "I appreciate you!" You're the first one to tell a lie so beautifully! After saying that, he pulled the package. Bypass the two of them and move forward.
"Lin Yu," Yin Zhen sat down slowly covering the wound on his abdomen, his expression still so cold. But the tone was very gentle, "Even if it's your cousin-in-law, you won't save it?" β
Cousin-in-law? Who is it? Li Wei was dumbfounded.
Liu Yu was stunned, his wife Bao is the son of the Rongguo Mansion, and the family should not be involved in the in-law relationship with a person who is lucky and is either rich or expensive at first glance, so the relationship between the "cousins" should be implicated from Lin Ruhai's father or Jia Min's mother-in-law...... Well. There is currently only one girl who can recall the two families who married, and that is Jia Yuanchun. Yuan Chun, Concubine Xiande?! Reasoning according to the plot. Isn't this man the future emperor? It's no wonder that the children of the world can enjoy such great luck!
"My cousin-in-law's status is precious, how did he end up here?" Liu Yu turned his head and asked, only then did he look at the two of them.
I saw a man dressed in brocade about twenty-seven or eighteen, and his eyes were like stars. Sideburns are like a knife. The nose is like a gall, the facial features are deep and handsome, not like mortals, the face is cold, but it is not gloomy, and there is a faint sense of dignity from the bones, even if the abdomen is soaked and seriously injured, it does not show a trace of wolf bèi, and it is not half elegant, which is no different from the legendary Prince Yong. The guards to his right and left were tall and muscular in physique. There was an occasional flicker of anger in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had seen blood.
Liu Yu couldn't help but believe it a little.
Yin Zhen took out a jade pendant with peerless carving from his arms. There is a word "Yong" embedded in the middle of the two coiling dragons, and the bright yellow silk silk that can only be used by the bloodline of the royal family is ironclad evidence that can prove his identity.
The indifference on Liu Yu's face was replaced by affection in an instant, and he said with a smile, "It turns out that it is really my cousin-in-law, Prince Yong...... The capital is destined to meet thousands of miles away, and it seems that we are not shallow in fate. β
Li Wei was shocked by the degree of his changing face, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, but he was really relieved. It's good that he doesn't recognize his six relatives!
Yin Zhen's smile was gentle, but his tone was getting weaker and weaker, "Yes, please also ask Brother Yu to be a brother, and there will be heavy thanks in the future." β
Liu Yu paced forward, squatted beside him and asked seriously, "Then how will you thank me?" β
Unexpectedly, he would be so straight to the point, without the tactfulness and subtlety of a scholar, let alone the apprehension and flattery when he met the nobles of Tianhuang, Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment and then said tentatively, "High-ranking officials are generous, glorious and rich, but if you want it, you can do it within the power of this king." β
Liu Yu smiled, waved his hand and said, "What high-ranking officials are rich and prosperous, they are all empty words. Let's just order it directly, just give the silver. The words rubbed their fingertips and made a gesture of counting silver tickets. Liu Yu's main task in this world is to find Chu Xuan's lost "escaped one", and the high-ranking official Houlu will only bind him, so it is better to get some more silver, so that the people can search for the "escaped one" who cannot sense the specific location.
Li Wei stood upwind to block most of the wind and snow for his master, and when he heard this, he glared at Liu Yu fiercely, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, "You kid want to take advantage of the fire to rob?" Shameless! β
Yin Zhen came back to his senses and smiled lightly, "How much do you want?" β
"Twenty-five thousand taels ......"
Yin Zhen and Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, Xindao thought that he would open his mouth, but he didn't expect the price to be so low, but he was a little embarrassed. However, after a pause, Liu Yu added the word "gold" in a hurry. The smile on Yinzhen's face stiffened slightly.
Li Wei was choked by the cold air in his mouth and nose and coughed, and scolded while patting his chest, "500,000 taels of silver, even if you are a rich family, you will never see so much money in your life." You are more ruthless than the bandits of the Thousand Hole Rock of the Falling Eagle, and the robbery only needs to open your mouth! β
"I was going to ask for 50,000 taels of gold, but in the end, I received 25,000 taels less for the sake of my cousin-in-law, who had spoken lightly. Your life is naturally not worth that much money, and your cousin-in-law is different, Tianhuang is noble, true dragon blood, and your life is naturally first-class gold. Only 25,000 were accepted, and I was afraid that I would insult my cousin-in-law, and I was worried in my heart. The words fell and Chong Yinzhen arched his hand, smiling affectionately but without the slightest flattery, "I also ask my cousin-in-law to spare this for the sake of me knowing that I can correct my mistakes, and I will see Wan Mo wearing small shoes for me in the future." β
first saw death and didn't save it, and then robbed it by fire, and now he is using the prince's silver to plug the prince's mouth, and this person can say it! has lived for half a life, such a shameless and frank person, Li Wei is the first time to see it, he is really scolded, and he can't beat it, and he is so suffocated that he suffers internal injuries.
500,000 taels of silver, for Yinzhen, who supervises the household department and the Ministry of Rites, it is a lot less, but it is not too much, and it is just within his own range. Yin Zhen nodded in agreement, thinking about it, he laughed. Lin Yu is really interesting!
Liu Yu saw that he was smiling more real than before, so he also laughed, and slowly spoke, "As long as the money doesn't ask for favors, do you feel relieved?" It just so happens to be me. β
Yin Zhen glanced at him in surprise, and said in his heart that this person was really not the same as the brutal man who was regarded as an "outcast" by the Lin Mansion in the intelligence. Although he acted quite shamelessly, he had some rules and regulations, which made people hate it.
Liu Yu saw that the wet clothes on the two of them had frosted, although their faces were strong, the anger in their eyes was getting thinner and thinner, in order to get 500,000 taels of snowflake silver in Shun Lì, he immediately rummaged through the pile of broken wood to find the right tools, and told without raising his head, "Looking at your appearance, I know that there are pursuers behind." It's getting dark, and with a lot of wolves out of sight at night, they're sure they'll stop searching, so it's safe tonight. One of you is seriously wounded in the abdomen, and the other has a broken left leg, and you are afraid that you will not be able to walk ten feet in the snow and will collapse, so we will stay where you are tonight. I'll build a shelter first, and you will quickly take off your clothes and wipe yourself with a snowball to warm yourselves. (To be continued......)
