Chapter 137: The Red Army of Dongdi
The knights, escorted by three carriages, walked along the difficult mountain path in a bend to the right and left of the mountain, and after rounding the foot of the mountain, there was a relatively gentle downhill road, and it was easy to walk here.
Duoduo lives in the second car with the child and Miss Qiu, although Miss Qiu is the daughter of the high door, but there is no shelf, in addition to being a vinegar jar, it is also an excellent girl's home, a few days down, she and the straightforward and lively Duoduo into a piece, naturally, Xiaoqi has also become the favorite of Miss Qiu.
Changing diapers, feeding goat's milk, these interesting things she always rushes to do, at first she was clumsy and needed Duoduo to teach her, now she seems to be more skilled than Duoduo. Because there is a little Qi baby, he has rarely pestered Mi Zixuan in the past few days, which made Mi Zihui greatly relieved.
If Xiao Mi knew that Qiu Nu was such a difficult woman that day, she would never provoke her, and now she is self-inflicted.
Down the hill, there is an endless plain in front of you, there are no road signs here, people who are not familiar with this place don't know where they have been, Yazi Xuan has a guide who is familiar with this road to lead the way, so Yao'er is much more relaxed, leisurely like a tour.
Walking down this road, she found that there were more than a dozen guards around Mi Zixuan, and it seemed that there were people secretly probing the path for Mi Zixuan before and after, secretly protecting. Yao'er is not a child of a noble family, he just thinks that these children of a high family are like this, and he can't help but secretly be speechless, and the prince is just like that.
She didn't know that the children of Gaomen were not generals with thousands of troops and horses after all, or the feudal officials in charge of a government and a county. It is possible to have such a majesty when you go out, but it is because Mi Zixuan is not an ordinary son of a wealthy family. As the suzerain of Yinmo, one of the two major branches of the first Xianxue Mojia inheritance in the Zhou State that year, Mi Zixuan was involved in many and had a lot of stakeholdings. Who dares to let him take the risk lightly.
The car went down the hill and entered a hilly area of river beaches, where the river beaches and hills are neither low nor high, and the undulating slope is very gentle, so it looks much flat and wide, especially when looking into the distance, you can't feel the ups and downs at all, as if it is a flat land.
About two miles away, a forest looms. Woo at this time! A short trumpet sounded from the woods. Haruka and Yako are playing chess in the car, and the chessboard and chess pieces are made of magnets, which are suitable for use in the car, even if there is some subversion, there is no need to worry.
Suddenly hearing the sound of the horn, Miko Xuan, who was picking up a white piece and preparing to put it on the chessboard, suddenly raised her head and looked out of the window vigilantly.
Yao'er has heard the sound of the horn more than once all the way, and only one every time. Every time the horn sounds, there are mountains, trees, bridges, canyons, and other places that are easy to hide and ambush. But the sound of the trumpet he had heard before had been long, never so short.
So, as soon as I saw Miko's look. Haruka immediately realizes that something has happened!
When the short sound of the horn sounded, the knights around the carriage immediately drew their swords in their hands. Take precautions. A moment later, two more short trumpets sounded in the distance in the forest. The two knights at the front immediately gestured to each other and galloped towards the woods.
When they left. As soon as Mi Zi Xuan and Yao Er stepped out of the carriage, the two of them had galloped into the distance, leaving only a wisp of light dust behind them. Not long after, the two knights returned from the forest and ran to the front of the Mizi chariot to stop, and one of them said loudly: Lang Jun, there are seven or eight corpses in the forest, and there are two carriages, the corpses are still warm, the blood has not yet congealed, and the time of death should not be long.
Another humane: After probing around, there is no trace within ten miles, and the murderer has already escaped.
Miko raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's go, let's take a look!"
He didn't get out of the car, and the whole convoy headed out into the woods. Yao'er carefully looked at the knights around him, each of them was a sturdy man, and the mounts under his crotch were also ordinary horses, and while they were driving forward, they had gradually formed a group of three, forming horns of each other's offensive and defensive formations.
Because there was not much shelter around, Haruka could faintly see some figures looming in the distance, but these very vigilant knights turned a blind eye. Obviously, it was the person who was secretly protecting Yako, because the accident revealed his body slightly.
Yao'er couldn't help but say to Mi Zixuan: Brother Mi's guards are all good, I think they are more competent than the palace guards.
Mi Zixuan smiled: This is different, the court and the rivers and lakes are two completely different places after all. The guards of the imperial court are completely different from the samurai in the rivers and lakes, and the people they come into contact with, if a hungry and cruel wolf is chained to the house as a guard dog, it will be wild after a long time.
When Mi Zixuan said this, he suddenly realized it, and smiled apologetically to Yao'er: I'm sorry, this metaphor for my brother is a bit inappropriate.
Yao'er didn't think it was angry, just smiled and said: It's that one of my sister's elders also said something similar, but seeing the shrewdness and ability of Brother Mi's subordinates still amazed my sister.
Mi Zixuan nodded lightly, and said with deep emotion: That's natural, these giant families have risen for hundreds of years, let it change its dynasty, all countries rise together, and always stand, of course, there are their advantages. For example, the Confucian Confucian sect has prospered since the beginning of Zhongni, and it is spread all over the government and the opposition, and the lords of the generation will enter the prime minister in the court, and the wealthy families of the rich and wealthy families in the opposition, whether they are in the court or the opposition, their power is deep-rooted and leafy, and the heritage is deep.
In addition to the family, there are also some schools of school, such as today's Daomen, in addition to the children of the sect, but also many peripheral forces that are openly or covertly allied or supported, intertwined with each other and intertwined...... It can be said that a vassal state can be destroyed lightly, but it is difficult for the giant family to be rich, I dare to say that even though the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, with a little rain and dew and sunshine, the first to recover and rise is still these profound inheritances.
The car stopped at the edge of the forest and did not go deeper.
There were a total of five corpses in the forest, dressed as small merchants who traveled to and from Yanqi, and two carts overturned on the ground, dumping a lot of coarse cloth, pottery, iron pots and other goods, which looked very messy.
These deceased people all looked like Han faces, but none of them knew each other, and Yao'er couldn't help but show a puzzled look.
Mi Zixuan followed her, looked at her expression, and asked: Why, do you suspect that the deceased is a man of a hundred horsemen?
Yao'er shook her head and said, "I don't know them, they are all fresh faces, if they are among the hundred horsemen, I should recognize them." But...... These deceased should also be people in the court, sent on business.
Yao'er pulled out half of the handle of the spear from the hands of a deceased, pointed to the bronze pattern on the head of the handle, and said to Yaziyu: This is the exclusive ornament of the spear used by the forbidden army. Also, the system of this dark armor is also a special armor made by the military workshop, presumably these two people are the leaders, so they have such treatment.
Mikomichi: Can you determine their identity based on weapons alone?
Yao'er said: Armor, crossbows, spears, lances, and equipment are forbidden to be owned by private individuals, otherwise it will be tantamount to rebellion, and equipment can only be allocated before the sergeant goes out to fight. Who in the private sector will have these weapons? And it's a special instrument registered by the forbidden army, doesn't that prove their identity?
According to the rules of the imperial court, armor, crossbows, spears, lances, and equipment were strictly forbidden to be owned by private individuals, even when soldiers went out for private purposes.
Yao'er, as a half-hung female guard of the Water Forbidden Army, also knows some relevant knowledge.
After listening to Yao'er's explanation, Mi Zixuan couldn't help but secretly guess: Since Yao'er didn't know these people, then they shouldn't be among the hundred horsemen. Are these people Mrs. Mu's people, or Tian Chengqian's people, or Tian Sansi's people? Did they die at the hands of other forces, or were they attacked and plundered by a small group of horse thieves......
Mi Zixuan was thinking about it, and a guard suddenly said: Lang Jun, there is something here.
Haruka and Miko heard about it, only to see the guard stoop down and find a small circle under a low bush, there was a pool of blood on his footing, and there was a drag mark more than a foot long next to him, it seemed that a man had died here, and was dragged away on a horse.
What the guards found out from the bushes was a python-patterned ankle ring, and Yako took a closer look at it and looked at it...... My eyes gradually narrowed: Although I don't know who the deceased is, but the identity of the murderer, I think...... I already know.
Yao'er asked: Who are they?
Yazi didn't answer, but turned to the guard who found the ankle bracelet and ordered: You search carefully, and if there are no other clues, bury these dead people on the spot. After speaking, he instructed another humanitarian: inform Huyi, let him personally escort me to the north, if I find a suspicious person along the way, I would rather kill the mistake than let it go!
Mi Zi Hui gave Haruka the feeling that he had always taken nothing to heart, and it was only at this time that there was a faint smell of coldness. The guard did not dare to slack off, but hurriedly agreed, and turned back, not knowing how he intended to inform the caller who had not yet seen him.
After Mi Zixuan finished his order, he turned to Yao'er, changed to a smile like a spring breeze and said: Let's go, let's talk in the car.
The two returned to the car, and Mi Zixuan said to Yao'er: The python pattern ankle ring is made of edelweiss unique to the extremely cold place, which is unique to Di Fan.
Yao'er's eyes flashed, and she said in surprise: This has just passed Jibei County, and it is still our territory, how can the Di people actually commit murder here?
Mi Zihui said: That's right, this is the territory of Qi State, but for some people, this place is dispensable, and in the eyes of the Di people, this is the foundation of their survival, so here, the Dongdi people pay more attention than us, and the management is better, have you heard of the famous Dongdi Red Army?
Well-known?
Yao'er really didn't know that she lived in hatred when she was a child, and after returning to Qi Kingdom, she had been in Lin'an and had never been to other places, so she could only shake her head in shame.
Mizi was not surprised to see that she didn't know, so he said: In this way, you don't know much about the Dongdi people, the enemy of the lonely bamboo, so I will briefly tell you about it, and finally talk about this Dongdi Red Army.
Yao'er Yingying: Please advise!
