Chapter 757: Bouldering across the river

Gangbuk-do

A team of men and horses escorted two prisoner carts all the way to the north, about a dozen cavalry, one hundred and ten infantry, and a man in each of the two prisoner carts in the front and rear, who looked very young. The one in the front has gray temples, and the one in the back, although he looks a little younger, is at least about fifty years old.

The prison cart was built very strongly, made of willow wood along the Yangtze River, and the thigh-thick wood was connected with nails, and only the hands and head were exposed outside. This position may not seem like much, but if you do it for a long time, your arms will be sore.

What's more, they are still wrapped in chains.

The leader of the team is a lieutenant who looks to be around thirty years old, and he can tell from the armor on his body that he is a military rank of the sixth grade. From time to time, the man turned back to talk to the people in the prison car, his eyes full of guilt.

"Two great generals, this will be almost out of Jiangbei Province, it must have been hard in the prison car for so many days, and there are no people from the Iron Armor Army staring at you so far away, so you have taken away your shackles, right?"

The man in the prisoner car in front shook his head and said, "It's still not necessary, if you are implicated because of the shackles for the two of us, we will not be happy in our hearts." I received your wishes, but fortunately, although the two of us are old, our bodies are still strong, and there is still more than a month to go to Chang'an, so be it. ”

The person in the prisoner car behind also said: "That's it, you are all soldiers brought out by the two of us, and we naturally know our intentions, but now it is different from the past, we are prisoners and you escort, even if you are not afraid, you must think about the old and young in the family." ”

The lieutenant opened his mouth and couldn't help but scold: "Fuck me, where did you come from such an old man and a young bastard, Your Majesty doesn't know what's wrong, but he handed over all the military power and court affairs to him!" It's a mess in Chang'an City, and it's a mess outside Chang'an City! Don't say the general, who of us who are soldiers are convinced? The general took us to finally force Luo Yi to Jiangnan, and it was just a matter of not rewarding such a great achievement, and he still had to punish the crime, damn! There's no fucking Heavenly Principle King Law! ”

"If it goes on like this, don't say that you can't put down the rebellion, even the soldiers are cold! Who wants to die? I heard that the man was preparing to go south, and he wanted a warship without a warship, and he wanted logistics supplies without logistics supplies! Luo Yi still has at least hundreds of thousands of horses waiting to work, just waiting to take our people on the Yangtze River! Besides, even if the river is crossed, is the Northwest Gao Kaitai King a canal just a decoration? Once the imperial army goes south, Gyeonggi is empty, and Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu are afraid that they will immediately bring troops to attack! ”

The more he scolded, the more angry he became: "We are guarding the Yangtze River, and we can return to Chang'an at any time, but now the imperial court can't keep up, and the thieves are getting bigger and bigger!" I really don't know if Jiangnan is important or Chang'an is important, the thieves are staring at the capital, but that guy is staring at Jiangnan! ”

"If it goes on like this, don't say that King Gao Kaitai will be moved, it is Jin Shixiong in the northwest, and Mu Mansion in the northeast is not necessarily moved!"

The old man in the prisoner car in front of him listened to him vent for a while, shook his head and said: "The ironclad general has led the troops for many years, so he naturally wants to get these, so he will let the tiger lead the troops to guard the north bank of the Yangtze River, and he himself will lead the troops south." He just...... It's too conceited. ”

"Why is the general still speaking for him now?!"

The lieutenant became more and more excited, and suddenly reined in his horse and stopped: "No, even if you punish me, you can't help it." ”

He pulled out the Hundred Refining Steel Knife and slashed at the shackles on the old man's shoulders, this knife was extremely accurate, slashing through the cracks in the shackles, cutting all the mechanisms inside, and with a snap, the shackles were separated. He urged the horse back, and severed the shackles of the old man behind him.

"Two great generals!"

The lieutenant hugged his fists and said, "Don't stop the lowly position, that's all the lowly function can do." If it weren't for the fact that there was still a father and mother in Chang'an City at home, he would have smashed the prisoner car with one knife and rebelled with the two generals! The world is big, there is always a place for our masters to make contributions! ”

The two old men looked at each other, just shaking their heads and sighing.

At this time, I suddenly saw a person coming out of the forest not far away, carrying a chair and placing it in the middle of the official road, and this person sat down on the chair with such a big grin, and did not speak, but just looked at the team of people with a smile. He looked black and thin, and if it weren't for the bright clothes on his body, his face would look like a refugee.

"What people!"

The first few cavalrymen immediately urged their horses over and asked loudly, and the people behind were immediately on guard and protected the prisoner cart.

The captain looked at the man with a knife in his hand, his face solemn.

"Don't be afraid, I just wanted to ask for directions."

The young man who was blocking the way smiled, but his dark face had a mouthful of white teeth, so he looked very bright and kind when he smiled.

"I'm going to Huangyang Road, I don't know how to go, do you know?"

He asked.

The captain urged him to step forward and looked at the man carefully: "Follow this official road all the way south to the Yangtze River ferry, hire a boat to go upriver for eight or nine hundred miles is the confluence of the Huangniu River and the Yangtze River, and then go south and Luoshui will enter the Huangyang Road." ”

"Thank you!"

The man kept smiling: "Since you know the way, let's go?" ”

"Let's go?"

The captain's face immediately changed: "You are going to hijack the prisoner car!" ”

The man shook his head: "No, no, no, I just don't know the way, please help me show the way." ”

He took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to the lieutenant: "This is a letter from an old man, I am entrusted to hand it over to the two generals, Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing, don't say that I recognize the wrong person, hurry up and send the letter over." If the two generals decide to go to Huangyang Road after reading the letter, then let's go by the way. If the two of you decide not to go...... I'll have to take you with one in one hand. ”

"You're so arrogant!"

The lieutenant pointed his knife at the man and said.

"Yes, yes......"

The man smiled: "I'll be called Yan Mad." ”

……

……

On the banks of the Yangtze River

The wind that swept over the river carried a slight fishy smell, because of the war, the fishermen on both sides of the river were still looking for a lot more than before, although neither the court nor Luo Tu's people and horses had looted the people, but the people still chose to avoid this kind of disaster far away. The more daring ones found a place far away from the barracks to fish, and the wealthier ones simply moved to a distant place.

It is the time when the plumbing fish are fat, and even the fat big fish can be seen jumping out of the water in the shallow part of the river.

The green scenery on both sides of the river is picturesque, and the river surface is pleasant.

The tiger threw out the bamboo pole, and the rope tied to the bamboo pole was whipped on the water, and with a snap, a big fish was directly pumped to death, and as soon as the rope was rolled, the big fish was dragged back. He threw the big fish on the grass on the side, and the old ox came over and began to gnaw, as if he was still a little dissatisfied with the fish, and actually snorted a few times from his nose.

The tiger didn't seem to be in the mood to deal with it today, and looked at the ironclad army that was already lined up in the distance, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Yang Jian walked over slowly, walked to his side and stopped, stretched out his hand and touched the old scalper's head: "For such a long time, it has always been with you...... I always think that people want to live forever and can't do it, but this beast should have died a long time ago, but it can live forever. ”

The old scalper seemed to be afraid of him, and dodged to the side.

Fluttering Tiger was silent for a while and said, "It's not that it's against the sky, it's that I gave it after thirty years of cultivation." I didn't expect it to adapt to it, and even its temperament changed. ”

Yang Jian was startled, and turned his head to look at the tiger: "You...... Why is that? ”

Thirty years of cultivation of the tiger, even he has to be moved! No one knows the tiger better than him, the three of them fought the world at the beginning, and the talent of the tiger was the best, even Wan Xingchen was shocked when he saw the tiger, and said that this son's future achievements are limitless.

If he hadn't been holding back in that closed and boring ancient tomb for so many years, I was afraid that his cultivation would have already broken that layer. The vitality in the ancient tomb is thin, and he can still prolong his life for nearly two hundred years like Wan Xingchen, why is this cultivation so amazing? But he actually gave thirty years of cultivation to an old cow!

This kind of thing, no matter what, is unacceptable.

"You're asleep in the coffin, and the ironclad soldiers are waiting to wake up."

Fluttering Tiger sighed, sat down on the grass and muttered: "In the first three years, a person with a temperament like me could be sharpened to read a book with a deep heart, and it was so quiet that even the sound of me turning a book was so terrible. I had no one to talk to, so I started talking to myself. Because I'm afraid that if I don't speak for too long, I'll become dumb. ”

"Five years later, I finished reading all the books I could find, and I started reading them a second time. Ten years later, I've read each book more than five times...... At fifteen years, I could memorize any book. You're still asleep, and the Ironclad are still waiting to wake up...... No...... They are dead, so what they are waiting for is not awakening, nor resurrection, but waiting for the time when the mission comes. ”

"In the twenty-first year, I felt that I was going crazy, so I crept out of the tomb at night, and peeked at the stars, and that night I was as happy as when I had received new clothes for the first time as a child, and I did not dare to toss too much, but only to smirk secretly. Later, I became more and more emboldened, and began to avoid the guards of the Imperial Tomb and go out for a walk, but I did not dare to go too far, I was afraid that something would happen to you. ”

"When I was twenty-five years old, Wan Xingchen came to me and told me that I was not allowed to go out again, because my heart was getting more and more ambitious, and sooner or later I would leave the imperial tomb. He intended to seal a door and open it only when necessary. He hung a talisman on that door, and the talisman sealed him with a sword intent. ”

"That was the last time I went out and saw this guy in the wilderness, a cow."

Fluttering Tiger looked at the old scalper with such soft eyes, as if looking at his best friend: "I carried it into the tomb, originally planned to eat it, but then changed my mind, I kept it as a companion." But I forgot that there was nothing for it to eat in the tomb, and soon it began to weaken. I panicked, I was afraid of being lonely, so I ......"

Yang Jian sighed: "So you gave it thirty years of cultivation!" ”

"Yes!"

Flutter Tiger nodded: "Fortunately, it survived the discomfort of the first few days and came back to life, and it has been with me for the remaining hundred years." ”

The old scalper glanced back at the tiger and seemed to understand what the tiger said.

"Then let it stay with you all the time."

Yang Jian was silent for a while and then said, "I'm going to cross the river." ”

"Hmm"

Flutter Tiger nodded and didn't say much.

"The world belongs to the Yang family."

Yang Jian said.

"Hmm"

Fluttering Tiger nodded again.

"I'll kill all my enemies."

"Hmm"

Yang Jian looked at him and didn't say anything more. After standing like this for a while, Yang Jian turned around and left. He pointed his hand forward, and the ironclad soldiers began to move. Everyone picked up a large stone that had been prepared long ago by the river, and then walked into the river step by step.

Fifteen thousand ironclad troops, bouldering across the river!
