Chapter 25 Jinyang chased the murderer and was framed
Murong Xiao thought that he would survive in the Tang camp until he died, for a warrior on horseback, this kind of death was really a nest, but Hou Poyu gave him a glimmer of life, and he also grabbed this straw, but what he didn't expect was that Hou Poyu actually reversed!
Not long after he left the mass grave, more than a dozen horsemen suddenly chased after him from the rear, with a tall head and a strong horse, skilled horsemanship, obviously the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty!
After all, Murong Xiao is not a brave and unscrupulous person, and after a little thought, he can realize that there is something strange in it, if it is really Hou Po's person, why would he go to great lengths to throw himself into the mass grave?
Thinking of this, Murong Xiao turned his head calmly, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he saw that among the rear cavalry, one person was petite, wasn't it the tomboy who was rescued by Xu Zhen repeatedly!
"Yes! This girl must have been suspicious of Hou Poyu, so she followed my line! "Murong Xiao is no stranger to the big ** system, although there are only a dozen people in the rear cavalry, the distance between the horses is extremely clear, showing excellent riding skills, the light armor on the upper body and the short crossbow on the horseback, as well as the long bow behind the back, which makes the identity of these people come out!
"It's the crossbowman of the Tang Cavalry! These people don't control crossbows, I think they want to capture a certain family! Murong Xiao snorted coldly in his heart, although the old horse's strength was insufficient, but there was still enough strength to squeeze, Murong Xiao escaped death, but he didn't want to fall into the hands of the little girl, so he immediately urged the old horse under his crotch and galloped away!
Li Dexuan looked at Murong Xiao who fled for his life in front of him, and the cold sweat on his head was constantly penetrating, mixed with the rain, and he didn't know the cold and heat.
Li Mingda's small brows were tightly furrowed, but his eyes did not leave the fugitive slave in front of him!
As early as after Hou Junji arrived in Liangzhou, she felt more and more that something was wrong, recalling that Chang'an was robbed that day, she should have appeared with her brother Li Zhi, but her brother was blocked from leaving the palace, which made her alone, so that she also understood in her heart that she did not participate in the temple affairs, and there was no enemy, and she was robbed, she couldn't say that she was just the fish in the pond that was robbed, and her brother Li Zhi was the one behind the scenes who wanted to plunder!
In order to verify this matter, as early as when Master Moya was rescued by Xu Zhen and returned to the camp, she wanted to confront the old master, but Li Daozong restricted Li Mingda's scope of action and authority because Hou Jun's army was stationed, making it impossible for her to enter the auxiliary camp for verification.
Today, I finally begged for the Li De Award, and then I got out of the main camp, but I didn't expect to bump into Hou Poyu and enter the prisoner of war camp!
Based on Hou Junji's bewitchment and instigation of his eldest brother Li Chengqian, Li Mingda has never had a good impression of the Hou family's father and son, so he secretly followed, but he didn't expect Hou Poyu to throw Murong Xiao on the corpse truck!
Li Mingda's heart became more and more confused, thinking that Hou Poyu could kill Murong Xiao to extinguish his mouth? If this is the case, then the conspiracy of the Hou family and the wild captives to communicate with each other and cooperate with the outside to hold their brother Li Zhi hostage will be revealed!
She is not a brainless person, and she and Li Dexuan can't tell the context of this, so she can only beg the other party to cooperate with her to follow the corpse truck, but she didn't expect to see the scene of Murong Xiao's "resurrection from the dead"!
Murong Xiao is the key to solving the mystery in her heart, Li Mingda will never let this person go easily, and before she can think deeply, she immediately urged Li Dexuan and more than a dozen other guards to chase her all the way.
However, before they could go far, chaotic shouts had already erupted in the camp, and Li Mingda vaguely heard someone shouting: "Someone has let go of the wild captive leader!" ”
Hearing this, her heart was like falling into an ice cave, this is Hou Po's plan to blame the thief! However, when she opened her bow and had no turning arrow, she could only chase Murong Xiao to death!
Li Dexiang is simple-minded, but it is not a matter of a day or two to protect Li Mingda, and he has long known Li Mingda's identity, and which of the court and China does not know the battle in the royal backyard?
Now that such a thing has happened, the attitude of Li Daozong's general manager seems to have become clear, but his Li Jing family never stands in line, this is the long-term solution, if he Li De Award wades into this troubled water, his old man Li Jing will not be able to protect the late season!
But now that the yellow mud has fallen into the crotch of his pants, how can he say it clearly if he doesn't chase Murong Xiao back? !
This Murong Xiao is just an injured trapped beast, and he Li Dexuan still has dozens of crossbowmen around him, if he can't chase people back in this way, he is not worthy of gaining a foothold in this army.
"Catch me alive!" Li Defei knew in his heart that if Murong Xiao died, this matter would be even more unclear, and immediately gave an order, and the crossbowmen scrambled to take the lead, divided the troops on both sides, and outflanked Murong Xiao!
However, it is unimaginable that Murong Xiao was not caught up for a while with his superb horse control and riding skills and familiarity with the grassland terrain!
At the critical moment, before the Liangzhou battalion could react, the left battalion sent out a team of cavalry, which was the government soldiers of Jishi Road led by Hou Junji (Note 1)!
"Don't get caught!" Li Mingda urgently shouted at Li Dexian, she was already sure that she was tired of it, how could Li Dexiang not know!
Once they were caught back, Murong Xiao escaped, and they couldn't speak clearly all over their bodies!
In desperation, Li Dexuan and the others had to catch up, in the end, they were the configuration of crossbowmen, and they distanced themselves from the pursuers behind them in a short time, but Murong Xiao was still far ahead with an old horse, which had to make people surprised and angry!
Between the chase and the chase, the people and horses from all sides had already left Liangzhou and entered the Kubel grassland, seeing that Murong Xiao's old horse was finally squeezed clean and had a little strength, but at this time, a team of wild captives killed from the side slope!
"Where are the wild captives here! It's clearly an ambush! Li Mingda's heart was suddenly cold, and she also saw despair in the eyes of Li Dexian!
If she hadn't experienced this, she would just be the favored princess in the palace, maybe she would have been tied up for a long time, but at this time, a stubbornness welled up in her heart, and she turned her head and shouted at Li Dexian: "Go chase Xu Zhen!" ”
She seemed to be chased and killed by Murong Xiao's cavalry, and she came to the end of the road, and the first thing that came to mind would be Xu Zhen!
Xu Zhen didn't know about this, at this time he led his brigade, and he had already entered the depths of the hinterland of the grassland, the autumn rain was continuous, the meadows were muddy, the war horses were stuck half a foot in their hooves, and the brothers were struggling, and they could only move with difficulty, but no one lamented and complained.
Whether it is Zhang Jiunian's brother or the knight of Rouran, they all know a truth, from themselves to others, although the heavenly prince is not beautiful, but presumably the wild scouts will not go out in the rain, which gives them an excellent opportunity to explore.
Xu Zhen moved forward calmly, constantly keeping in mind the routes and terrain along the way, the Rouran people were extremely familiar with the terrain, he was not worried that he would get lost in the depths of the grassland, and even when he was in the camp, he did not torture Murong Xiao, because this group of Rouran people had already memorized the general location of the Murong Department and the deployment of military forces, and this time they came just to verify it.
The horse's hooves came with a pop, and Caesar appeared on Xu Zhen's left side, half a head behind, and this was already her second private action. She secretly glanced at Xu Zhen, who didn't seem to care, and didn't even seem to notice that she left the team without permission, and still walked silently, this trust made her feel at ease.
The experience along the way also made her more and more interested in Xu Zhen, from the disgust and hatred at the beginning, to now her arm is branded with the name of this Tang man, the more Caesar feels that Xu Zhen is more mysterious.
He knew that Kaisa and others had kidnapped Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, in Chang'an, and there must be a big secret hidden behind it, but he never used his identity as the master to ask Kaisa for the inside story of the matter, as if everything had never escaped his eyes.
Even if the mission of this expedition is very important, he is willing to give his trust to the newly subdued Rouran people, and this kind of courage is indeed very much beyond the reach of people.
The haze of autumn rain soon enveloped the four fields, and after nightfall, the brigade stopped behind a hillside, surrounded by war horses, and covered the fire and camp tents.
Caesar was pale, huddled in a small tent, his hands and feet were cold, his lower abdomen was clenched, and his lower lip was bitten out of tooth marks, this is the reason why it is difficult for women to join the army, and the monthly tide is one of the congenital constraints.
After hastily satisfying herself, she went into the camp tent to rest, but it didn't take long for the footsteps of military boots splashing muddy water to sound outside the tent, and she instinctively clenched her twin blades, but suddenly retracted into the simple quilt of the sleeping blanket and felt, because she had a keen sense of six senses, and had already heard the identity of the owner of the footsteps.
The man seemed to be worried about waking Caesar, and had already removed his armor, which was not a very wise move during the night of the march, and Caesar could even smell the familiar scent of his body.
The covered felt was carefully lifted a small corner, and it was not the cold of the autumn wind and drizzle outside that poured into the quilt, but a soft warmth, Caesar was heartbroken, although she was already Xu Zhen's slave, Xu Zhen was not too much about how she behaved, but when she thought that she was inconvenient these days, her cheeks were hot.
But she soon found that her shame and worry were superfluous, because after the big hand reached into the bed, she withdrew, but what was left was still a warm feeling, it was a soft sheepskin bag filled with hot water, which was placed under Caesar's stomach, relieving the cramps and pain in her lower abdomen, and making her frown unfold, the soft bag of hot water was very warm, all the way from the belly, to the heart.
The man didn't stay long, didn't make a sound from beginning to end, and just quietly walked out of the tent, just as he had come quietly.
Caesar emerged from the quilt and saw a stack of long strips of white cloth cut into the size of a palm neatly placed on the edge of her sleeping blanket, she clearly remembered that this was a gift from the army to the new brigade commander, and she could also see that the specific purpose of this long strip of white cloth was related to privacy, and she should have been shy, but at this time, she was not moved in her heart, only doubts, and she became more and more unable to see through this cunning Tang man.
This kind of secret matter in the boudoir is usually regarded as dirty and filthy, but in Xu Zhen's opinion, it is a very normal thing, Caesar, as his personal female master, if he is tortured by the monthly "relatives visiting the door", once the battle starts, who will block him from the knife?
Not only that, except for the small part of "wasted" Caesar's body, he rewarded the rest to those who were soft, because what he needed was not a robe to wear on his body, but a "robe" that could be dependent on his life and death.
In the situation of lack of resources, a small investment can get a lot of benefits, whether he is calculating, whether he is really a brother, in short, Xu Zhen is never stingy with his brother.
Maybe this was the excuse he made for himself, but in any case, he was very satisfied with his actions, at least he was able to regard the Rouran people as the helmsman on the grassland and the sea.
It was precisely because of the vigilant eyes of the Rouran brothers that he got into his tent safely, but after thinking about it, he still put on the red armor of Tiance, and then fell asleep with the long knife.
I don't know how long I slept, Xu Zhen's tent was suddenly pulled open, and Caesar said anxiously: "The enemy has been found in the rear!" ”
