There are large fields of crops, and there are ravines and streams, and it is very difficult to walk in them.

Aladdin was tied up strongly, with soldiers pulling ropes in front of him, and some people pushing and scolding, stumbling and running in the field, crying bitterly.

I can't imagine that a big disaster can be seen by looking at the bounty list.

There was a sudden mutiny in the city, and someone set fire to it and looted it, and he was even more confused and tied up by this group of rebels and dragged out of the city.

And now listening to the words between these chaotic soldiers, I know that they are the soldiers of the Zhou State, the enemy country in the north of the Tang State, and today under the leadership of the commander, they came to the East China Sea to plunder.

However, it seems that the action of looting the manor of the lord of the East China Sea has been thwarted, and the soldiers who are looting in the city retreat in a hurry, and when they see that he is a Hu merchant, they take the sheep and kidnap him.

"Go to the village?" Walking behind Aladdin, the meaty-faced pawn suddenly pointed to the outline of a village that appeared in the distance.

The general who led the team hesitated slightly and shook his head: "No, didn't the person who delivered the letter from Zhang Dutou say it?" The manor of the county prince was extremely well guarded, and Zhang Du did not check his head, and suffered a big loss, and there were few of us, so it was better to turn around quickly. ”

The pawn sneered: "Zhang Xiaolang can only talk on paper, and he is scared by some bankers, isn't it ridiculous?!" ”

Aladdin listened to these Zhou soldiers chatting along the way, and it turned out that their Shangguan heard that the merchants of the East China Sea had recently gathered, and thought it was a good opportunity to raid the East China Sea.

However, because the Zhou State and the Tang State had made peace temporarily, in order to avoid causing major disputes, he only sent two or three hundred soldiers, disguised as merchants, to the East China Sea, led by two leaders, one team entered the county seat, and the other team went to plunder the manor of the Duke of the East China Sea.

However, the team of soldiers who plundered the manor of the Duke of Donghai was defeated, and when they were defeated, they sent a letter to the county seat, and this team also hurriedly retreated.

The head of the team is surnamed Li.

It seems that this Li Dutou is still a thoughtful and cautious person, but in his team, several pawns are full of gangsterism, obviously feeling unwilling to retreat like this, and they want to go to the neighboring villages to wreak havoc.

Seeing Li Dutou hesitating, he said, "It's better not to, lest Tang Bing chase after me!" ”

The pawn smiled proudly: "How come, Zhang Xiaolang was defeated and retreated, didn't those Zhuang guests chase after him?" Otherwise, how could he have thought of being kind enough to send us a letter? Moreover, where did we come from, they didn't know, and where did they go to chase us? ”

Li Dutou looked at the village in the distance, and a blazing light gradually flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, "Okay, go and see!" ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking the air.

There was a scream, several Zhou soldiers fell, "bang" a Zhou soldier with an arrow in the forehead was falling in front of Aladdin's feet, the face was dazed and he didn't even know how to die, blood was gushing out of his forehead, Aladdin was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately screamed.

"Ambushed?!"

"Don't panic!"

Zhou Bing shouted one after another.

In the midst of the chaos, there was another sharp sound of breaking the air.

There was another scream, and someone fell to the ground.

Aladdin screamed and retreated, but he was trampled under his feet, but he stepped on a corpse, and one fell down, and in front of him, it was a soldier staring at the big eyeballs, his forehead, with arrows stuck in it, and blood slowly flowing out.

Aladdin screamed and almost fainted, but his nerves were not so fragile and he could only continue to experience this hellish ordeal.

With the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the screams continued again and again, there were not many Zhou soldiers who could stand, and some Zhou soldiers were already so frightened that they were lying on the ground, where was there still a murderous appearance when they were killing people and setting fire to Donghai County?

However, the sound of "puff puff", the Zhou soldiers who were lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, were hit by arrows in the back of their heads, and they were killed without humming, just like the archers in ambush had clairvoyance, and they couldn't hide it from them by pretending to be dead.

"Ah......" someone shouted, his spirit had collapsed, and he ran out first, and the remaining Zhou soldiers scattered and fled.

But one after another, the Zhou soldiers running in the field fell to the ground one by one, some were running, and the arrows in their hearts were not exhausted, and they ran a few steps before they fell to the ground.

From beginning to end, only Li Dutou was not hit by an arrow, he held a long knife in his hand, looked at a few mounds in the distance, the arrow was shot from that direction, he wanted to rush up, but his legs were trembling, as if it was no longer his own.

It's not that he hasn't experienced a big battle, but what happened in front of him is too weird, the archers ambushed by the other party, the arrows are not missing, and every arrow must hit one of his own soldiers. All of them hit every shot?!

And he was not crucified by an arrow, it was obvious that it was the archers who saw that they were the generals who led this group of soldiers, and wanted to spare their lives and capture themselves.

Bang, the last soldier who was still standing was shot over on the side of Li Du's head, and he was killed before he could hum, his face was full of horror.

The knife in Li Dutou's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he had no strength in his whole body, and sat on the ground limp and collapsed.

I don't know when, a figure appeared in front of me, "You're from Yizhou, right?" ”

The voice was very gentle, Li Dutou raised his head suddenly, but saw that in front of him, there was a young man in brocade clothes, and the pearl on his crown was as bright as a star, but when he looked at the young man's face, the light of the pearl seemed to be gradually dimming, and the most shining thing was the young man's eyes.

"Yes, I, I am Li Ru......, the head of the Yizhou defense envoy," Li Dutou responded unconsciously.

"Okay, here you go! In the next life, don't be a soldier in troubled times! The last picture in Li Dutou's eyes was a flash of cold light in the young man's hand, and then he felt that the whole world was far away from him, and it was gradually dark in front of him......

Aladdin, the whole person was numb, just sat dumbfounded, watched the young man appear, watched him wave his hand, and then, the officer surnamed Li Zhou covered his throat and slowly fell to the ground.

After a while, the young man came up to him and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Ah, Aladdin......" Aladdin replied blankly.

"Okay, you stay here, and when my pro-army comes, you can help me bring a word, just say that I am going to Yizhou and come back in a day or two, so that they don't have to worry! In addition, the Zhou soldiers who invaded this county have been killed by me, even if there are fish that slip through the net, there will be three or two of them, so they will search the territory of the county, if they find Zhou Bing, they will be killed! ”

"Yes, yes......" Aladdin replied casually.

The young man frowned slightly, then tore two strips of cloth from the corpse of a soldier, dipped his fingers in blood, and wrote on them.

A strip of cloth was thrown in front of Aladdin, "When you see the military horses of the East China Sea, give them this strip of cloth!" ”

Aladdin nodded blankly.

……

On the streets of Yizhou, in the sound of gongs, the people dodged one after another, and a team of honor guards lined up from one end of the long street to the other.

All kinds of golden locks, copper hammers, silver halberds of the guard of honor slowly walked, in the procession, a four-horse carved phoenix car Luan is very eye-catching, this is the car of Zhou Taizu's fifth daughter Yongning princess Guo Miaozi.

In the fierce cavalry formation at the front of the honor guard, the Yizhou assassin Shi, the defense envoy Zhang Hui, the Yizhou regimental training and platoon envoy Fan Nengjiang, and Duyu Hou Du Ze and other bigwigs in the Yizhou army are among them.

Don't drive Li Yao to follow these bigwigs in the army.

However, Li Yao sneaked a glance at the princess's car at the back of the team from time to time.

Princess Yongning, who suddenly came to inspect Yizhou, obviously has extraordinary significance.

Princess Yongning almost died when she was young, perhaps because of this reason, she has an extremely resolute character, and resourceful, since she was a child prodigy, very loved by Emperor Taizu, and now, it is like the mother of the young master, and she is trusted by the young master.

In terms of kinship, Princess Yongning is the aunt of the current young master, but Princess Yongning has no real blood relationship with the young master.

Because the first emperor Shizong Guo Rong is the step-son of Emperor Taizu Guo Wei, Princess Yongning is the biological daughter of Emperor Taizu, among the princesses, ranked fifth, but the first three sisters died early, only the fourth sister Princess Shou'an is still alive, but she is already married.

Princess Yongning has not yet arrived at the time of her death, but now she is the person who has the greatest influence on the young lord in the palace.

The first emperor was shot to death by the Tang people, and the young lord succeeded to the throne, and Princess Yongning was named the eldest princess of Liang again.

I heard that Princess Yongning has always been dissatisfied with the first emperor, because Princess Yongning felt that if it wasn't for the first emperor to do things too aggressively, her two brothers would not have been killed by the lord of the Later Han Dynasty, and it would not be the turn of the first emperor, the step-son, to succeed to the throne.

And now Princess Yongning is often by the side of the young master, and suddenly comes to inspect the border city of Yizhou in southern Xinjiang, which can't help but make people think about it.

There are already faint rumors in the capital, comparing Princess Yongning with Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, believing that she has a dangerous tendency to interfere in politics.

However, now that the Beijing Division, the Prime Minister Li Chongjin and the Wusheng Army have made Zhao Kuangyin and other fierce generals in the army incompatible, but both sides do not take the young master very seriously, but Princess Yongning takes a lot of care of her nephew.

Li Yao was thinking nonsense.

Zhang Hui, who was not far in front of him, suddenly tilted his body and fell off his horse.

Li Yao was stunned, and before he could react, he saw Fan Nengjiang, Du Ze and other generals falling from their horses, and Fan Nengjiang, who was extremely strong, let out a roar, but then, there was no sound.

The army was immediately in disarray.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Li Yao also faintly saw that the generals who fell off their horses seemed to have been hit by arrows, and the ground was gradually stained with blood.

The whole street was immediately in chaos.

Li Yao was stunned, immediately turned the horse's head, and soon came to the princess's car.

"Steady, steady!" Li Yao shouted loudly.

There were forbidden soldiers before the car, they were well-trained and reacted very quickly, drawing knives and arrows, and sanitation around the princess's car.

"Don't panic, princess, wait for the next official to investigate!" Before driving, Li Yao bowed down and said loudly.

There was no sound in the car.

Li Yao gritted his teeth, and then rode his horse towards the most chaotic place.

On the long street, chickens and dogs jumped, shops closed one after another, people ran, soldiers shouted, and chaos was made.

……

When Li Yao returned to Che Luan's side, his face was extremely ugly, and his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he said in his heart Fortunately, fortunately, I am a civil official, otherwise, I am afraid that I will have been shot.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the assassin, the assassin should have left, and the lower official has ordered all the commanders and envoys to search for them all over the city!"

Li Yao felt a waterfall sweat in his heart, he was not a driver, he was second only to Zhang Hui, the regimental training envoy, in this state, and now the chief generals in the army who were following Zhang Hui were all shot, and he could only command the commanders to raid the city.

Suddenly having to command so many arrogant soldiers felt like a dream.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know how many assassins there are, there should be about five or six people, each of them has superb archery skills, a total of five officials, including Zhang Hui, the training envoy of the shooting group, five officials, among which the arrow that shot Zhang Hui was hung with a blood book, with the words 'Those who commit crimes in the East China Sea Realm, die', in addition, there is also a notice...... "Li Yao paused and said, "It seems that the assassins were sent by the East China Sea Duke who was just rewarded by the Tang Lord, and the notice said that the two military horses sent by Yizhou invaded the East China Sea Territory, a total of more than 230 people, all of them, have been killed by him......"

Zhang Hui didn't say a word, but he was afraid that today's assassin would be the dead soldier of the Tang Kingdom's Donghai Gong, and maybe even the Donghai Gong, who personally led the team.

Shouzhou was defeated, and there have always been rumors that there was an unborn young man in the Tang army who shot the emperor single-handedly.

But perhaps in order to boost morale, the young lord succeeded to the throne, and when mentioning his father, he did not say so, only said that the first emperor was the first soldier and collapsed.

However, the recent news from the fine work that the Tang State sealed the Donghai Kingdom, and the founding county prince of the Donghai State was a regimental training soldier who participated in the Battle of Shouzhou, which is even more intriguing.

And these rumors, one by one, have to make people think of a terrible possibility.

Could it be that the Duke of the East China Sea was really the one who shot the first emperor, and today, he sneaked into Yizhou, ambushed and waited for an opportunity, and in one go, he actually shot Yizhou from the regimental training envoy down, and all the five most important generals were shot? !

This, this is also terrible!

Moreover, the notice written in blood, not to mention that the soldiers who invaded the East China Sea were all killed.

Of course, at the end of the notice, it also said that Zhou and Tang had already made peace and should be a friendly country, and his move was only to punish the first evil, to set an example, and hoped that in the future, the East China Sea and the northern border would be in harmony as before, and the East China Sea border would welcome the merchants of the surrounding realm to go to business, pay taxes, etc., which was equivalent to Tang merchants.

It's laughable.

What is this?

But obviously, the meaning of this Donghai Gong is obvious, that is, no one should come to provoke me, otherwise I will retaliate tenfold, and if everyone is angry and wealthy, I will have a lot of convenience here.

Think about it, if this matter is not much for the country to raise troops and horses to crusade and start a war with the Tang State, then whether it is the new Yizhou regimental training envoy, or the Mizhou regimental training envoy who has the ability to invade Huairen and the East China Sea, when you want to fight the autumn wind, you really have to think about it, this guy, the assassination method is too terrible!

And now, the country's most elite forbidden army and box army are fighting against the Han lord and the Khitan coalition army in the north, and now what is worried is that the Southern Tang Dynasty will take the opportunity to provoke, and where will the country still have the spare strength to raise troops to the south?

"Tokai Gong, Tokai Gong......"

In Cheluan, Li Yao was stunned by the delicate woman's voice, this was the first time he heard the princess speak, and it was completely different from the resolute and majestic voice he imagined.

Then, there was no more noise in the car.

Li Yao knew the interest and retreated, so that the local soldiers quickly opened the way and sent the princess back to the post house.
