Brother Ning Xian," Zhu Ji said with a deep look at Ning Zu'er, "Lord Yu will please leave it to you." ”

"Brother Zhu, don't worry, I'm here to ensure that the adults are safe," Ning Zuer replied: "You can go with confidence." ”

"Brother Ning Xian," Zhu Ji looked left and right, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Although the Ma brothers have captured it, I don't know how many people in Yanqingwei's soldiers and horses are colluding with the thieves...... There are thousands of them, Lord Yu thought of taking them into the three major battalions and scattering them to take care of them, but it is inevitable that they will not cause trouble on the way, once they have misdeeds......"

"I'll let you leave first." Ning Zu'er's eyes flashed, "I can't beat thousands of people when they make trouble, but I can still protect adults from danger." ”

"So there is Brother Laoxian." Zhu Ji is another one.

"Brother Zhu also has to be careful along the way," Ning Zu'er advised: "Although it is less than a hundred miles away from the capital, the people of the Guanyin Sect are everywhere, and this person can't afford to lose any more." ”

"I'll save it."

"Also," Ning Zu'er said, "Brother Ma, it's best for you to take it with you, so that even if Yanqingwei's people make any changes, they won't be able to make a big mess." ”

Zhu Ji listened to his words and pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Ning Xian." ”

......

Zhu Ji led more than 100 elite Jinyi guards to escort Sain Polo first, and of course took the Ma brothers away. Ning Zuer watched them go away, with a somewhat strange expression on her face, and she looked a little worried.

"Brother Zhu's departure, the burden on your body will be heavy." I don't know when Yang Muyun came to his side.

"Did you hear what I told him?" Ning Zu'er said without looking back.

"I don't dare to stare at the tip of the Jinyi Guard," the corners of Yang Muyun's mouth curled slightly, glanced at him and said: "At this marching speed, you can't get to the capital before dark, and the longer you delay on the road, the greater the chance of accidents, those officers and soldiers of Yanqingwei are not all fools, and they know that it is not a good thing to transfer them out of Juyong Pass." ”

"You see that, too?" Ning Zuer turned her face to look at him and said.

"There is a lot of talk in the Yanqing Guards now," Yang Muyun said, "Some people say that as soon as they arrive in the capital, they will all be arrested and put in prison; Others said that the army of the three battalions had long been ambushed in front, and as soon as they entered the boundary of the Beijing Division, they would ambush them everywhere and kill them completely. ”

"It seems that some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Ning Zu'er sighed, "When Brother Zhu and I went out of Beijing, there were no less than 1,000 Jinyi guards, and after the battle of Juyongguan Wengcheng that night, the loss was more than 300, and Brother Zhu led more than 100 people to escort Sain Polo back to Beijing first, and the rest of the people were only five or six hundred, and it was difficult to see thousands of people!" ”

"Fortunately, it's not far from the capital," Yang Muyun comforted him, "It's just a few hours of hard work." ”

Ning Zuer looked up at the sky, "Before I arrived in the capital, it is estimated that it will be dark, and then I will have to set up camp outside the city, and if I delay for a few more moments, there will be more hidden dangers...... No wonder he has a lot of worries, the first time he faced five or six thousand people independently, it was already good not to be crazy.

And Yang Muyun went through the battle, his attitude was much calmer, and he said to him very calmly: "Don't think too much, there is still Lord Yu on this!" With him in town, if you take care of it more closely, there shouldn't be a big mess. ”

......

The two were talking while walking, when suddenly there was a shouting in front, and when they looked up, they saw five or six people running desperately in front, and more than ten people in the back were chasing after them.

"Whoosh-" Several feathered arrows fired, one of which hit the back of the heart of the man in front of him, who fell to the ground without snorting.

The two of them saw clearly, the one running in front was Yanqingwei's soldiers, and the one chasing behind was Jinyiwei.

"Somebody started running." Yang Muyun said in a low voice.

"You and I are separated and outflanked," Ning Zu'er said in a deep voice, "We must capture them alive." ”

......

"Brother Leopard," one of the soldiers said to a big man with a round face in front of him, "Kuanzi, he was hit by an arrow." ”

"I can't take care of him," the round-faced man gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't hurry up, the brothers will have to be planted in it." ”

A few people ran up a hillside, and just as they reached the edge of the forest on the hill, suddenly a handsome young man flashed out from behind the tree and stopped in front of them.

"Get out of the way—" The round-faced man pushed the boy away, trying to push the boy away, but the boy's figure disappeared in a flash, making him push into the air.

The round-faced man was taken aback, his feet did not stop, and he wanted to get into the woods, but suddenly his waist was numb, and he couldn't exert half of his strength when he was soft, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

The rest of the people were shocked, pulled out the waist knife on their bodies, and slashed at the handsome young man together.

The handsome young man's figure was like a ghost, flashing left and right, shuttling between them, and knocking down several people in an instant. One of the remaining people screamed, threw away the weapon in his hand, turned around and ran, and did not run a few steps only to hear a muffled snort, the man seemed to be hit hard in the chest, turned over and fell.

The handsome young man raised his eyes and saw Yang Muyun looking at him with his hands on his chest and a smile.

"You are so unrighteous and unjust," Ning Zu'er said angrily, "I won't know until now." ”

"Ning Gongzi killed one side," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "Yang won't join in this fun." ”

While the two were talking, the brocade guards behind them caught up. The first person bowed to Ning Zuer and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Ning......" This person is thin and small, but his eyes are shining, and he looks extremely capable.

"Don't say anything, it's you," Ning Zu'er smiled slightly, glancing at the person who fell to the ground, "What's going on?" ”

"The team is moving forward, and these people say they want to find a place to make it easier," Mo Buyan said: "I led the people to creep over, and as soon as they left the sight of the team, they ran away...... Fortunately, the adults were here and stopped them. ”

"Well," Ning Zu'er bowed his head slightly, and ordered, "Tie them up and escort them back!" ”

"Yes—" The brocade guards rushed forward and tied up the people.

"Dog thing," the round-faced man scolded, "There is a kind of giving you a knife to the leopard master, I dare you are a ...... raised by a bitch" A series of foul words broke out.

Yang Muyun frowned, reached out on the ground and grabbed a large handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, the snow wiped his face with dirt and dead branches and leaves, and the round-faced man whined and muffled his voice into his stomach. The rest of the people were all pale, and one of them was shaking like chaff.

"Take it down!" Ning Zuer said coldly.

————————————

Yu Qian listened to Ning Zu'er and Yang Muyun's report with a solemn face, nodded, pondered for a moment, and ordered them to take care of their subordinates first, and not to reveal the news, so as not to shake the morale of the army. Then send someone to keep those deserters under strict watch and avoid contact with others.

The army continued on its march as if nothing had happened.

When the team walked to Qinghedian, it was getting dark, and at this time there was only thirty miles away from the capital, and Yu Qian ordered to set up camp.

The silent snowfield was dark and dark, and the night was cold, and occasionally a cold wind blew, rolling up a cloud of snow particles and scraping on people's faces. All the soldiers in the camp were gathered in the snow and did not move, and the brocade guards held torches in all directions, and the fire was blazing.

There were two bonfires burning in front, and on the wooden frames erected were tied the soldiers who had escaped and been captured during the day, and there were about thirty or forty people, some of whom were pale and silent; Some were pale and trembling; There are even more scolding and demanding a quick death, and proudly declares that he will be a good man again after eighteen years.

The people below stared at them blankly, with different expressions on their faces.

During the day, there were several incidents of soldiers escaping, but without exception they were all captured.

Yang Muyun and Ning Zu'er stared at these thousands of soldiers with nervous expressions, for fear that they would be instigated by others and suddenly attack, in which case the situation would be completely out of control. Lin Meier watched all this for a long time, and the expression on her face was much more relaxed.

"Hey," Lin Mei'er stabbed Yang Muyun's arm, leaned into his ear and whispered, "What do you say Lord Yu will do with them, will he kill them all?" ”

"I don't know ......" Yang Muyun shook his head slightly, although he was used to seeing battlefield fighting, but in this silent snowy night, watching dozens of heads fall to the ground, this scene was too frightening.

"According to me, you should kill them all," Lin Mei'er pursed the corners of her lips, "Why are you talking so much?" ”

Yang Muyun glanced at her in surprise, "How can you say it in your mouth and kill a person is like chopping melons."

It's like chopping vegetables, and a little girl's family doesn't leave a little bit of morality? ”

"Don't you like to hear it?" Lin Mei'er smiled lightly, her eyes fluttering, "Then I won't talk about it." ”

......

I don't know how long it took, but the few bound people who were scolding were also tired, and their voices weakened, and the whole barracks was surprisingly quiet except for the crackling sound of burning torches.

In the boundless silence, I don't know who shouted, "Lord Yu is here." All eyes turned to look back.

Yu Qian walked proudly to this side under the escort of several brocade guards, and the soldiers in the queue made a "sudden" to get out of the middle way. Yu Qian didn't squint, and walked through the array of these soldiers unhurriedly, but several brocade guards who followed him closely followed him secretly sweated for him.

"Lord Yu is really bold." Yang Muyun secretly praised in his heart, if he was to be replaced by another civil official, he was afraid that his legs and stomach would tremble, let alone dare to walk through this group of ill-intentioned soldiers?

Yu Qian walked to the roaring bonfire and stopped, turned around, his face sank like water, his eyes slowly swept from the crowd in front of him, and said in a majestic voice: "The state has national laws, the army has military regulations, there are no rules and no way to order the people, how can it be prohibited......" Slightly glanced sideways at a cadre of people tied to the pillar, and said in an accentuated tone: "I have seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four beheadings in the Ming army, do you know?" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces turned pale and their teeth rang out.

"This is not a war," replied one of the bound men, "and if you are caught fleeing from the army, you will be punished with fifty sticks, and you should not be beheaded." ”

"That's good," Yu Qian stared at him with blazing eyes and said, "You have the guts, it seems that you are quite familiar with the laws in the army, what is your name?" ”

It was a round-faced man who spoke, he was burly, and he was not afraid to look at Yu Qian's gaze, "My name is Yan Bao, and I am the small banner of the left wing army of Yanqingwei." ”

"Well, it's still a small flag officer," Yu Qian nodded, "How many of these people were instigated by you to flee?" ”

"Yes," Yan Bao replied, "Heroes are good at things, I want to leave, and I don't want to leave them, so I take them with me." ”

"You still call yourself a good man?" Yu Qian sneered, "What are you in the Ming Army, come when you want, and leave when you want?" ”

"Everyone has no way to live, how can they sit still and wait for death?" Yan Bao's face was not afraid at all.

"There is no way to live, how can you say this?" Yu Qian raised his voice and asked.

"I, the deputy commander of Yanqing Weizhong, commanded the affairs, thousands of households, and hundreds of households were picked up," Yan Bao said loudly: "This is not counting, but also pulling all our Yanqing Wei's soldiers out of Juyong Pass, may I ask Lord Yu, what do you want to do?" ”

"Major events in the army, why don't you ask casually?" Yu Qian's face turned cold, "The transfer in the army is very usual, so you have no way to live?" ”

"Commander Ma and others colluded with the Tartars and fornicated to disrupt the party, what do they have to do with us?" Yan Bao said: "Lord Yu took them and transferred us out, what is the reason? ”

"Is this the one who instigated you to run away with you?" Yu Qian said coldly: "As my Ming soldiers, can't you be mobilized?" ”

"The imperial court clearly doesn't trust us, and wants to attack all our brothers in Yanqingwei." Yan Bao said loudly, and as soon as the words fell, a buzzing discussion sounded in the crowd.

"Who are you listening to?" Yu Qian said coldly: "Do you know what you should be guilty of such rumors?" ”

Yan Bao snorted and did not answer.

Yu Qian's majestic gaze swept to the group of Yanqing guards again, and as soon as their eyes came into contact with the eyes of the adults, they hurriedly lowered their heads, and the buzzing discussion stopped.

"You are a normal transfer this time," Yu Qian said: "This official can guarantee that there is no inside information in it, have you attached a traitor and done anything unfavorable to the imperial court, don't you know in your heart?" As soon as it is provoked by others, it is ready to move, what is the intention? Seeing that everyone was silent, he turned to Yan Bao and said: "Since you are very familiar with my Ming military law, then you can tell this official, what do you say about the seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four seven?" ”

Yan Leopard's body shook and was silent.

"Rumors and gossiles, fabricating ghosts and gods, pretending to dream dreams, wanton heresies, and demagogizing sergeants, this is called an adulterous army, and the offender will be beheaded." Yu Qian stared at him and said, "Yan Leopard, is what this official said right or not?" ”
