Chapter 0248 - Escort (4)
The stalemate lasted until dawn, and many people died on both sides, and the group of red-eyed bandits did not seem to be willing to leave, and they all retreated to a safe distance, waiting for an opportunity to charge again.
The Turkic princess saw the situation clearly at this moment, she got out of the carriage and walked to Fang Jue's side.
"Yes, only so many people died." The Turkic princess's ironic compliment was like sprinkling salt on Fang Jue's wounds.
Fang Jue just glanced angrily, then turned his gaze to the enemy formation in front of him.
At this moment, Fang Jue saw that there was another pair of people coming behind the opponent's formation, dressed in the same way, presumably the opponent's reinforcements.
But then, the enemy did not launch a big charge because reinforcements arrived. After a night of hard fighting, Fang Jue's soldiers also looked a little tired.
In the crowd on the other side, a middle-aged man walked up to the person who was leading the way just now, he seemed to ask a few words, and then made a move that everyone didn't expect.
The lightning speed was unconcealed, and he slapped it in the face.
"You bastard, why are you fighting with officers and soldiers behind my back, look at you, how many brothers have been killed."
The middle-aged man was burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his appearance made the people next to him suddenly cast awe-inspiring eyes. He is the king of Yinhu Mountain, named Jiang Dahu.
The person who was slapped to the ground by Jiang Dahu was the second leader of Yinhu Mountain, named Mo Erhu. Of course, this is also the name he changed to himself after he went to Yinhu Mountain.
Since the last time Yinhu Mountain fought with the official army, although he won in the end, many brothers died, so Jiang Dahu made a few rules, he must not take the initiative to provoke the government, and it is best to be safe with each other. Now looking at the team that he had finally pulled up, and was defeated by Mo Erhu again, he felt distressed, so he couldn't help but beat Mo Erhu.
This Mo Erhu usually listens to Jiang Dahu very much, so Jiang Dahu trusts himself very much. If he wasn't there, this Silver Tiger Mountain would naturally be in the hands of Mo Erhu.
Jiang Dahu was taking his brothers to clean up a few disobedient cottages nearby, but someone reported that this Mo Erhu took the brothers of Yinhu Mountain to rob the officers and soldiers, and there were quite a few officers and soldiers. When Jiang Dahu heard this, this Mo Erhu was clearly looking for death, what could the officers and soldiers have to rob, and if they offended the government when the time came, it would bring trouble to Yinhu Mountain.
"Big brother, you have to avenge me."
Mo Erhu did not hold a grudge because Jiang Dahu gave him a slap, but crawled over, pulled Jiang Dahu's trouser legs, and pleaded.
"Revenge, you mean?"
Jiang Dahu had naturally heard about Mo Erhu, not long ago, Mo Erhu received news brought back from a house slave in a small county on the outskirts of Chang'an, saying that Mo Erhu's family had all been killed. Mo Erhu, who often kills the whole family, heard that his whole family was killed, and he suddenly experienced what it means to be thundered and what it means to be in pain.
And he also knew that the person who killed his whole family claimed to be the county lord of the Heavenly Empire. And there is only one prince in the Celestial Empire, and that is Ye Yunchang.
Jiang Dahu was very sympathetic to Mo Erhu's matter, but he also said that he couldn't help it, because the other party was indeed a character who didn't dare to provoke, let alone kill the county lord who destroyed the whole family, I am afraid it would not be easy to enter Chang'an City. However, Jiang Dahu still promised that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely help Mo Erhu take revenge, which was just a casual word of comfort in Jiang Dahu's heart.
As for why Mo Erhu made such a stupid move, he wanted to fight with the officers and soldiers at such a cost. This has to start from yesterday, there is a mysterious person, who came to the mountain and said that there was a deal to do with Yinhu Mountain, and that person paid 50,000 silver taels to buy a person's head.
Jiang Dahu is not there, Mo Erhu is still very cautious, he still has to ask the other party what the reason is, if he offends someone who can't be offended, then the gain outweighs the loss.
But when Mo Erhu learned that this person's name was Fang Jue, he was the deputy commander of the forbidden army of the Celestial Dynasty, and he was also the county horse of the palace. Mo Erhu immediately couldn't sit still, his expression was a little abnormal.
Although Mo Erhu knew that there was only one prince surnamed Ye in the Celestial Empire, he still had to ask clearly, and he couldn't make sure who the emperor would make the prince.
The mysterious man saw Mo Erhu's abnormal reaction, so he asked Mo Erhu the reason. When Mo Erhu said that his whole family was killed by the county lord of the Luoyang Palace, the mysterious man was also extremely excited, and seemed to say in his heart: Good killing, good killing, God help me.
Which mysterious person also made up a set of stories, which can be regarded as having the same illness as Mo Erhu, but the person also emphasized that Ye Yunchang has only one daughter, and Fang Jue is the master of the Heavenly Dynasty.
The husband of the enemy is naturally also an enemy, and the enemy is very red when he sees each other, even if he brings so many soldiers. In the end, Mo Erhu didn't need the mysterious man's bitter instigation, so he agreed without hesitation.
Faced with Mo Erhu's reason, Jiang Dahu was a little embarrassed. The most important thing is that Mo Erhu has never mentioned any mysterious person, which makes Jiang Dahu unable to judge well.
However, Jiang Dahu was able to gather so many people to follow him, but he still had some ability, and when he saw the results of the battle between the two sides, it was obvious that he had lost badly in Yinhu Mountain. He hated to kill the officers and soldiers in front of him at this moment to avenge the dead brothers, but reason told him that he must not be rash at this moment, if he continued to fight, it was possible to kill all the officers and soldiers, and the result was undoubted, and his Silver Tiger Mountain would also be exhausted. He didn't want Yinhu Mountain, which he had been operating for many years, to fall into a second-rate or even third-rate role. Those small cottages that have just been taken over by him into his sphere of influence are still a little unconvinced, if they are defeated, then Yinhu Mountain will be dangerous, not only the officers and soldiers will encircle and suppress at any cost, but those cottages that have been beaten by themselves will also bite in turn.
Jiang Dahu helped Mo Erhu up, but he had already weighed the pros and cons, and said in a comforting tone.
"Erhu, the eldest brother blames you, but the eldest brother doesn't regret slapping you. I know you want revenge, but you can't take your brothers with you for nothing. Look at the dead brothers, they don't deserve to die. Jiang Dahu's tone was stern and reassuring.
"Big brother, do you mean that my whole family of Mo Erhu died in vain? Well, since my eldest brother won't help me, then what do I mean to live in this world, and before I die, I will kill that person. Mo Erhu was carrying a big knife and wanted to go into battle in person.
"Erhu, you heard the eldest brother say, the eldest brother promised you that he would avenge you, but not now, we have to wait, and wait for others to be left alone before starting, I don't believe that these soldiers can protect him for a lifetime. You calm down, for the sake of Yinhushan's brothers, and for yourself, can you endure for a while? ”
Jiang Dahu persuaded Mo Erhu bitterly, but he still couldn't get rid of the resentment in Mo Erhu's heart.
With a whoosh, I saw Jiang Dahu pull out a dagger from his waist and cut a cut in the palm of his hand.
"I, Jiang Dahu, swear here, that I will help my brother Mo Erhu to avenge the destruction of the door..."
Mo Erhu watched Jiang Dahu bleed and swore that half of his anger finally subsided, and the other half endured it, looking at Fang Jue's formation with vicious eyes.
