The two thousand soldiers who monitored the emperor's ships came from Zuoyintai to supervise the guards, Zuoyintai was composed of two parts, one part was from the recruited rangers and prodigal sons, and the other part was from the elite soldiers of the Shence Army.

The commander of this new guard is still Li Huang, the former commander of Zuoyintai, although he is also a ranger, but Ju Wenzhen took a fancy to his loyalty and appointed him as a general, commanding three thousand new guards.

Li Huang didn't sleep either, he faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the big tent, so he came out of the tent, looked around, and saw no trace of the cavalry, he was a little surprised in his heart, and turned back to ask the soldiers on duty, "Did anyone ride over just now?" ”

The brigade commander pointed to the distance, "There was the sound of horses' hooves over there just now, and I heard the sound of walking away, and no one approached us." ”

Li Huang put up the curtain and looked into the distance, the weeds in the distance were luxuriant, covering his vision, he couldn't see the situation on the official road, so he raised his head and asked, "Captain Wu, can you see the situation in the distance?" ”

No one from above responded, so he raised his voice again and asked, "Captain Wu, did you hear me?" ”

Still no one responded, Li Huang secretly felt bad, and raised his voice again and shouted: "Is there anyone on the boat?" ”

The ship was deserted, and no one responded to him, "Not good! Li Huang knew that something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Something happened up there, get on the boat and take a look!" ”

The soldiers rushed to the stern of the boat, and there was a rope ladder on the other side, and soon one of the soldiers shouted: "General, the rope ladder is gone!" ”

Li Huang was shocked and shouted: "Ring the alarm bell!" ”

At this moment, dozens of rockets suddenly shot from dozens of steps away, landed on the tent, and ignited the tent in an instant, the river wind was strong, and a sea of fire was formed in a short time, Li Huang was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Bastard, are you about to ring the alarm?" ”

As soon as he turned around, he saw the soldier who ran to ring the alarm bell fell to the ground, with an arrow stuck in the back of his neck, just when Li Huang was stunned, a wolf's tooth arrow shot silently, extremely fast, blinking in front of him, Li Huang was so frightened that he flashed, or a step too late.

'Poof! The arrow hit him in the chest, and Li Huang screamed and fell on his back.

The fire on the river bank was soaring, and the soldiers fled from the big tent, but they were mercilessly killed by dozens of people, dozens of people galloped in the firelight on horseback, spears were stabbed, and swords were slashed, killing more than a thousand soldiers who cried wolf and fled in all directions.

Zhang Yun ran to the bottom of the boat and raised his head and shouted: "Send the Queen Mother down quickly!" ”

No one from above responded, and at this time, a soldier pointed to the river and shouted: "General, there is a fire on the river!" ”

Zhang Yun urged the horse to run to the stern of the boat, only to see a torch waving in a circle on the river hundreds of steps away, which means that the person has received it, Zhang Yun's heart suddenly fell, he didn't expect the boat to come so quickly.

He ordered the soldiers to also light a torch and wave it in response, indicating that they already knew, and at this time, the torch on the river was extinguished.

Li Nai shouted anxiously in the distance: "General, the enemy is coming!" ”

Zhang Yun immediately shouted an order: "Evacuate quickly!" ”

Forty cavalry quickly gathered and withdrew together in the direction of the mountains and forests to the south........

Not long after, Huo Xianming, Dou Wenchang and a large number of troops arrived to make an accident, more than 100 tents and all of them were burned down, the corpses of soldiers were all over the ground, and many wounded and undead soldiers were groaning in pain.

The main general, Li Huang, had been seriously wounded and killed, and there were surviving soldiers standing around, all of whom were at a loss and at a loss.

"Get out of the way!"

Some soldiers shouted, and the onlookers got out of the way, Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang rushed up in a hurry, so they didn't care about the life or death of the soldiers.

Huo Xianming asked anxiously, "Where are the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor?" ”

A eunuch knelt down and trembled and said, "Qi Qi Xianweng, the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven don't know where to go?" ”

"What!"

Huo Xianming was furious, grabbed the eunuch's hair, threw his head up, and said viciously: "Where have they gone?" ”

The eunuch's voice changed in fright, "Immortal.... The immortal man spared his life, but the villain really didn't know. ”

Huo Xianming kicked him to the ground, "You are in charge of monitoring, they ran away, you don't know, what's the use of you?" ”

After speaking, he pulled out his sword to kill the eunuch, but Dou Wenchang hurriedly stopped, "Immortal Weng will calm his anger first, ask the matter clearly before dealing with it." ”

At this time, Ju Wenzhen also came, and he said with an anxious face: "What's wrong?" ”

"The Queen Mother and the Little Emperor are missing!" Huo Xianming gritted his teeth and said.

"What!"

Ju Wenzhen was stunned for a while, and he said angrily: "Who is it?" Who did this to you! ”

"I don't know yet, General Shen is investigating."

The three of them were extremely depressed, and they could only stand aside and wait for the investigation of Shen Quan, the envoy of Jiedu, and it was difficult for them to judge the situation in front of them.

Shen Quan came over, hugged his fists and said, "Immortal Weng, Dou Weng, Jugong, it's not convenient to talk here, let's change places." ”

Dou Wenchang asked, "Did you send someone to hunt down?" ”

"The lowly post has sent 3,000 people to search for him."

"Let's get on board and talk!"

The four of them came to a nearby ship, where a eunuch cleaned up a cabin and lit the lamp.

The four of them sat down, and Shen Quan said slowly: "The person who attacked the guards today is not trivial, I asked the soldiers present in detail, the other party only had dozens of cavalry, although the guards were caught off guard, but after all, there are two thousand people, dozens of people are capable of fighting two thousand people, and they are not dead or injured, this kind of combat effectiveness can be called terrifying, and people with this kind of army can only be Guo Song and Zhu Jun. ”

The four of them suddenly turned pale, this was the last thing they wanted to hear, the emperor and queen fell into the hands of Guo Song.

Shen Quan continued: "Dozens of them alone can't rob the emperor, I dare to assert that there is an internal response on the ship, and it is likely to be by the emperor's side." ”

"Smack!" Ju Wenzhen slapped the table suddenly, he finally understood why the palace maid who served the little emperor was familiar, and he remembered where he had seen her.

Several people looked at Ju Wenzhen, and Ju Wenzhen gritted her teeth and said: "It's Ying Caihe, she is the Queen Mother's side, and she is wearing makeup, but I didn't recognize it." ”

After speaking, he was afraid for a while, wouldn't it be easy for Ying Caihe to kill him at that time.

Shen Quan nodded, "That's right, it's just that there is still a place where I haven't figured out how the other party's cavalry came from?" With so many checkpoints along the way, how could they not be discovered?

Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang glanced at each other, and they thought at the same time, 'Prepare for the first team! ’

Huo Xianming's eyes were full of resentment and said: "It seems that we have not wronged Li Wanrong, he did secretly collude with Guo Song." ”

The four of them were silent, and after a while, Ju Wenzhen said: "Without the emperor, there is no point in moving the capital to Jiangnan, everyone, can we create a pseudo-emperor and pseudo-queen, and then bite the emperor and queen in Guo Song's hands is fake?" ”

"That's not right!"

Shen Quan hesitated and said: "Many ministers, as well as Han Yun, Ma Sui, and Liu Qia, have all seen the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother appears publicly, it will be difficult for us to clarify." ”

Huo Xianming waved his hand and said: "Counterfeiting this kind of thing is not forced until the end, let's not think about it, now the top priority is to continue to search for the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor, they can't run far, they must still be in Zhongzhou, 3,000 people are too little, use 10,000 people to search and arrest, and then publicly offer a reward, find the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven, reward 10,000 taels of gold, and the official will be promoted to the fifth level!" ”

"Immortal, once the news spreads, it will not be easy to fake in the future." Ju Wenzhen cautiously reminded.

Dou Wenchang shook his head and said: "Brother Ju, this kind of news can't be hidden, three or four thousand people already know about it, and it will spread soon, or Xian Weng is right, now they must still be in Zhongzhou, we will search for it comprehensively, and there may be a chance to do so." ”

Shen Quan added on the side: "I also agree with Immortal Weng and Dou Weng's plan, in addition, we must be vigilant and beware of Li Wanrong's trouble!" ”

Ju Wenzhen was helpless, so she nodded and agreed to the plan of the three.
