Chapter 165: Request for Assistance
There are two changes today!!!
The silence of the forest was broken, startling birds, neighing horses, and rain of arrows broke through the air, and the traces of the arrows could not be seen in the dazzling sunlight.
Spotted quickly, warned early, and after the rain of arrows came, everyone jumped out of the ravine, and hid behind trees or under horses, and escaped the first wave of arrows, but the mounts were in great distress, some of the seriously wounded horses fell with a roar, and some of the lightly wounded horses rushed forward out of control.
"Protect the Son!" Liu Shengming shouted anxiously, but before his voice fell, Qi Liang shouted again: "Everyone follow the horses and rush!" "This was the gap between the enemy's second wave of bow and arrow attacks, and he was the first to stand up and quickly pulled up Xinfen. Sarans turned and ran.
Liu Shengming and the others quickly followed, and in a moment the rain of arrows came again, and countless sharp arrows flew in the air, but even this moment was enough for Qi Liang and the others to run out of the open area. Entering a forest, there was a thorny slope below the left, and then there was the sound of gurgling water, Qi Liang did not hesitate to take the lead in jumping down, and the others also jumped, only Xinfen. Sarans hesitated, but was forcibly dragged down by one of the guards.
Hurried footsteps were heard from behind, and the ambushers were in pursuit. Qi Liang and the others didn't dare to stop, and slid down with a roll, and behind Liu Shengming led more than a dozen guards to carry a repeating crossbow, they saw the first ambusher, who was actually masked and dressed ordinarily.
There were more and more ambushers, Liu Shengming and others shot while going down, the pursuers were also colored, several ambushers were killed, and two guards on Qi Liang's side were also hit by arrows, but at least they stifled the ambusher's pursuit speed.
The pursuers behind were getting farther and farther away, but Qi Liang and the others did not dare to relax in the slightest, and slanted along the mountain stream, jumping, jumping, falling and running down the mountain. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, all the people were covered in suffocation, their hands and feet were slender and slender with wounds, their clothes and pants were tattered, all of which were caused by branches and thorns, and Qi Liang also sprained his feet, and like the two wounded men who were hit by arrows, he was now dragged by two guards and ran.
"Your Royal Highness! I can't run! "Xinfen. Sarans collapsed on the ground, unwilling to move as soon as he fell.
"Let's take a break!" Qi Liang was helped and jumped to a big tree to lean on, and he also ran with a blue face and purple lips, and he couldn't breathe.
"Shizi! No, it's not safe here, there are pursuers behind! Liu Shengming objected.
Qi Liang leaned against the tree, the sleeve of his left hand was cut by the branch, dangling and hanging, and he simply tore him off with a "squeak". "It's okay, it's not far from the town, and the pursuers shouldn't chase after it again!" Qi Liang said sadly.
Wright. Sarans asked his doubts: "Your Royal Highness! Why did someone ambush you? He was sure that the attackers were not targeting his brother and sister.
Qi Liang apologized: "Wright. Sarans! Xinfen. Sarans! I'm sorry to hurt you two brothers and sisters! He was self-aware of that.
The Sarans siblings survived the catastrophe and were in shock, and their sister Xinfen. Saranz gasped and said, "Your Royal Highness! You should quickly find out the identity of the ambushers and send troops to kill them! "Brother Wright. Sarans still had lingering palpitations, thinking that the prince from Yunnan had many enemies, and it was not possible to go to Kunming with him.
Qi Liang nodded, and Liu Shengming reported: "Shizi!" Those people were all masked, dressed in ordinary clothes, with a mess of bows and arrows, and all the troops were there, so I couldn't figure out who they were! "He is not simple, and he can still have the heart to identify the enemy's weapons and equipment during such a tense and panicked cover retreat.
Qi Liang ordered: "Quickly send someone back to the barracks to report to General Gao Dajie, and let him bring troops to respond; We continue to go on the road, and we are taking the road brightly! He didn't seem to care much about the attacker.
Wright. Salans asked, "Your Royal Highness! Why do you want to go the road openly? Aren't you afraid of exposing your whereabouts and being chased by ambushers? ”
Qi Liang smiled and did not answer, his sister Xinfen. Sarans stood up with difficulty, patted the dust on his body and said, "Brother! How dare the attackers, when they were masked and could not see anyone, on the road? ”
Qi Liang nodded appreciatively: "Not only did those ambushers not dare to chase after them, but they guessed that they were long gone now!" ”
Xinfen. Salance said: "I am very curious, there was no warning at that time, how did His Royal Highness the Prince detect that there was an ambush?" "Fortunately, Qi Liang found out and reminded him early, otherwise I don't know how many people can escape today?
Qi Liang said: "The sun is bright, the mountain wind blows, the trees shake the grass, but there is a space in the grass on our left and right sides that has not moved, and that piece of grass is obviously overwhelmed by something, I immediately suspected that it was an ambush." Because it is impossible to have a large group of similar animals in this mountain, and in this spring and summer, the vegetation is vigorous, and it is impossible to leave an empty place where weeds cannot grow. ”
Everyone admires, why didn't they find out about it? Liu Shengming felt particularly ashamed, he was the leader of the Mingwei of the Flying Leopard Group!
After entering the town and renting a few carriages at the people's house, Qi Liang and his party returned to the barracks, and there were pedestrians on the road, and sure enough, there were no more chasing soldiers.
Halfway through, he met Gao Dajie and led five hundred elite soldiers to greet him, and when he saw Qi Liang, Gao Dajie knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The lowly guard is not good, please give sin!" ”
Qi Liang waved his hand: "Let's go back and talk about it!" ”
Gao Dajie hurriedly ordered the people below to change into a good carriage for Qi Liang and the injured people. A large group of people hurried back to the barracks, and the Sarans brothers and sisters insisted on leaving after changing their clothes, and Qi Liang had to send a team of guards to escort them into the city.
Soon, Chen Zhengcheng and Qi Xiyin in the city also arrived, and at this time, Qi Liang's twisted feet lying in the tent had also been bandaged. Qi Xiyin stood on the side, angry and heartbroken, wanting to go up to see the injured foot of the thief, but afraid of everyone's eyes, just scolded vigorously: "Look if you still run out, it hurts you to death!" ”
Chen Zhengcheng asked: "Shizi! How could this happen? ”
Qi Liang moved his feet slightly, stretched out slightly, glanced around and said, "Everyone is here, let's discuss!" ”
Immediately, the military doctor and the guards left the tent, and Qi Liang shouted, "Shengming! You stay, stay there will be something to ask you! Liu Shengming stayed, and the outside guard was handed over to Liu Dexiang.
Tan Yanliang, the military advisor, was the first to ask: "Shizi!" Where did it happen? ”
Qi Liang said: "It happened in the Davis Ridge of Baiyun Mountain in the northeast of Guangzhou City! The ambushers were all masked in black scarves. Then let Liu Shengming explain the ambush and escape process in detail.
The more Gao Dajie listened, the more shocked he became, and he asked in confusion: "Who wants the life of the son?" ”
Liu Shengming was indignant: "There are many people who want the life of the son!" ”
Chen Zhengcheng analyzed: "But according to what Sheng Ming said, this batch of ambush thieves has a large number of people, diverse weapons, strict discipline, and extraordinary combat power, and there are only a few major power groups that can dispatch such a scale, use such financial resources, and have such combat power in the territory of Guangzhou Prefecture!" ”
Gao Dajie asked, "Who is the one who committed the poison?" ”
Liu Shengming was the first to think of the Qing court, and said: "It must be Suo Etu, Cao Yin and other dog thieves!" ”
Qi Xiyin snorted: "The place where it happened is in the northeast of the city, which is the place where the Qing court and the Fujian side sent the escort army to the junction. If something happens to the prince, everyone will be the first to think of the Qing court, and it is impossible for Suo Etu to be stupid to attack the prince, let alone stupid enough to choose to attack in the territory of his own garrison. ”
Liu Shengming lowered his head stupidly, although he was big, he still heard Qi Xiyin scolding himself, but he didn't have a trace of resentment, first, because it was indeed his dereliction of duty that caused the injury of the son, and second, Qi Xiyin's special identity, he didn't dare to complain.
"Could it be from Fujian?" Chen Zhengcheng dared to ask.
Tan Yanliang said: "The people from Fujian are allies with us, how can they attack the prince?" Even if they want to start, they will not choose to be involved in the place that is related to them! ”
"So someone blames Suo Etu or someone from Fujian?" Gao Dajie asked, and then asked, "Who is to blame?" ”
Tan Yanliang said: "Whoever has a great hatred for the son of the world is likely to attack!" ”
Chen Zhengcheng said: "In addition to the Qing court's great hatred for the prince, there are also Shang Zhixiao and others who have hatred for the prince!" ”
Liu Shengming shouted: "Yes! Right! Last time, Wei Shi'an killed Yang Gang, the general under Shang Zhixiao, Shang Zhixiao's people, especially the Yang family, hated the prince to the core, and they were most likely to attack! After thinking for a while, he continued: "There are also people from the Zheng family, the prince has repeatedly frustrated Zheng Cong's spirit, and there are still hostages in Mu Wangfu's hands, and they are very likely to attack the prince!" ”
Qi Liang glanced at Qi Xiyin, which meant that Zheng Cong might also make a move because of jealousy and hatred, Qi Xiyin dodged Qi Liang's gaze, and stared at him with hatred.
Chen Zhengcheng categorically denied: "In terms of scale and numbers, the Zheng family can't send so many people!" ”
Gao Dajie asked: "Then there is only one person who may be Shang Zhixiao?" ”
Qi Liang asked: "Do you think it is possible for King Pingnan?" Or is it possible for Shang Zhixin? ”
Tan Yanliang said: "King Pingnan is still playing tricks left and right, he is absolutely impossible!" Shang Zhixin? He shook his head, not sure if it was no or sure? Said: "On the surface, Shangzhixin and the son of the world are called brothers, but people's hearts are unpredictable, knowing people and faces but not hearts, who knows if he will have such a hand behind his back?" ”
Qi Liang truncated: "Don't guess, don't be confused by superficial phenomena, all power groups pay attention to interests, no one will be swayed by personal hatred and grievances, as long as you consider from the perspective of who gets the benefits, this matter is simple!" ”
In the end, everyone locked the object of suspicion on the Qing court's envoy and Shang Zhixiao.
Qi Liang instructed: "Send someone to seriously investigate this matter, and make representations to the Pingnan Palace, and ask Shang Zhixin Shizi to assist in the investigation!" ”
