Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Incident in Fenzhou
I'm so excited, finally someone voted for me as a VIP!! I'm so happy, may the gods and Buddhas bless the one who voted for me! Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Amitabha! Amen! )
The convoy traveled all the way, and the state capital saw the Donggong documents along the way, all of which were respectful and respectful to entertain the convoy, until the convoy left the county of Benzhou.
However, the reconnaissance battalion led by Li Yang kept a low profile all the way and tried not to attract attention.
When I arrived in Bonju, there was an accident.
This is on the official road outside the city of Bonju. It is nearly ten miles away from the city of Fengzhou.
Because the area from Gyeongju to Bonju is mostly disturbed by the Turks, the roads are in disrepair, and the potholes are difficult to walk.
The convoy has been moving very slowly on this road. The soldiers who were guarding the convoy also came down from time to time to push the carts.
"Brothers, work hard, the front is to Fengzhou! When I arrived in Fenzhou, I paid for everyone to have a drink! Er Zhuhuan saw that the sky was gradually getting dark, and the convoy was still moving forward like a turtle, and seeing that the morale of these soldiers was gradually declining, he couldn't help but speak.
Qiao Gongshan next to him also said: "That's it, brothers, it's time to reach Fengzhou, don't be discouraged!" ”
A soldier with a cart raised his head and said, "My lord, it's not that we don't have to work hard, it's that this cart is too heavy, and we don't know what it's in!" ”
As soon as these words fell, these soldiers responded one after another.
"That's it, I'm afraid there are more than 500 catties in such a carriage, this carriage is only two horses, where is it so easy!"
"Yes, it's so heavy, it's about the same with an ox cart!"
"Why are so many things being sent to Gyeongju!"
……
Listening to the discussion of the soldiers below, Er Zhuhuan couldn't help frowning: "You are bold!" The approach of the East Palace has its own deep meaning, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense! Beware of military law engagement! ”
The soldiers were suddenly silent, not speaking, just silently pushing the cart.
Qiao Gongshan saw Er Zhuhuan's fierce words, and immediately comforted these soldiers: "You just need to do it!" Back in Chang'an, His Royal Highness will have a heavy reward! ”
What they didn't know, however, was that several pairs of eyes were hiding in the bushes and grass on both sides of the road, spying on everything in the convoy.
"One-two-three, one-two-three-" The last cart suddenly sank into a deep pit, and the soldiers tried their best, and the carriage and horsemen whipped hard, but could not get the cart out of the pit. So, Qiao Gongshan arranged for the soldiers of the first few cars to come over to help, shouting in unison, and struggling to push the car out of the pit.
"One, two, three, up-" I saw more than ten people trying their best, and finally pushed the carriage out of the big pit.
However, at the moment when the carriage came out of the pit, the wheels fell to the ground violently, and the body shook violently, and a large red lacquered wooden box on the roof of the carriage was shaken off the car.
The carriage was loaded with goods nearly three meters high, and as soon as the wooden box on the top fell, the soldiers hurriedly dodged away and did not hit anyone. However, the wooden box, which had been locked, was smashed over, revealing its contents.
What was revealed was a few yellow bright light armors!
Suddenly, the soldier fell silent. Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan were also full of consternation.
You must know that this Mingguang armor is a controlled item, even in the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty, not everyone has Mingguang armor. And the prince sent this Mingguang armor to Gyeongju, what is his intention?
Er Zhuhuan reacted first, and shouted at the soldiers: "Look at what, don't put away your things yet, and continue on the road!" ”
The soldier hesitates, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know how to act. Er Zhuhuan was angry, and said to Qiao Gongshan: "Old Qiao, you don't train these soldiers quickly, it's really unusual!" As he was talking, he looked in the direction of Qiaogong Mountain, only to see the latter staring at those armors, his face uncertain!
At that moment, Er Zhuhuan said vigilantly: "Old Bridge, what do you want to do?" You and I were ordered by Donggong to escort these things to Gyeongju, and there can't be any mistakes! ”
Qiao Gongshan was stunned for a moment, then turned back to Er Zhuhuan and smiled: "Brother, don't worry, when did the two of us go out to do something!" ”
Er Zhuhuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Qiao Gongshan's smiling face: "It's good if nothing happens!" Lao Tzu doesn't care what is in him, as long as it is delivered, pat his ass and leave, no matter what turns him upside down! ”
As he was talking, there was a burst of laughter from the side of the road: "Lord Lang, if you want to pat your ass and leave, you can't do it, at least after you report and expose the East Palace!" ”
As he spoke, a row of soldiers in mottled green armor poured out from both sides of the road, each holding a crossbow machine in his hand.
Er Zhuhuan immediately changed color, and was about to call the soldiers to fight to the death, but saw the gray faces of the soldiers. The arrows flickering in the cold light on the crossbow machine looked particularly hideous in the dusk, and he couldn't help but shrink his body, and the shout that had just arrived in his mouth was suddenly swallowed back!
It turned out that several reconnaissance battalion soldiers who were walking in front saw the bright armor in the box behind the tree, and one of them immediately went back to inform the large troops behind, and the rest were here to monitor. A moment later, Li Yang quietly surrounded the horse team with the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion and appeared.
"Who are you waiting for, surround the guards of the East Palace here? Don't you want to live! That bridge Gongshan said suddenly.
Hearing his words, Er Zhuhuan couldn't wait to sew his mouth with a needle and thread! Look how he talks nonsense!
Li Yang, who was in the lead, smiled "Hehe", "It turned out to be the East Palace, that's right!" Go to ten people and give them their weapons! ”
After the weapons of the soldiers were taken away, Li Yang said: "Now you have two paths. The first is to immediately go to the Renzhi Palace, accusing the prince of instructing Yang Wengan to rebel, let him echo with himself inside and outside, and take Chang'an City in one fell swoop. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Er Zhuhuan and the others changed wildly.
Then, Li Yang said again: "Second, I will kill all of you, and then take these things to Renzhi Palace to denounce the prince's rebellion!" Take your pick! ”
After a moment of silence, the bridge said, "If we choose the first option, won't we die?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Er Zhuhuan angrily reprimanded: "Qiaogongshan, do you want to sell the Lord for glory? ”
Qiao Gongshan glanced at Er Zhuhuan lightly: "It's not that I sell my lord to seek glory, I still want to live!" I still have a few and a half sons and two beautiful wives, where can I afford to die! ”
When Er Zhuhuan heard this, he seemed to think of his wife and children, and he immediately hung his head in frustration.
"Good! You are all people who know the times! Come on, send me the fold! I saw a person take it and fold it, and two pages had been written in the handwriting of Qiao Gongshan, and the name and handprint of the place where the payment was left were missing.
When the two signed their names and pressed the handprint, Li Yang's satisfied subordinates folded and handed it to a soldier beside him: "Send it to Renzhi Palace immediately!" ”
At this time, it was almost dark, and Li Yang said: "Okay, everyone has worked hard today, let's go to Fengzhou City first!" ”
So, these nearly 200 people and seven carts rushed to the city of Fengzhou, but fortunately the city gate was not closed.
Just as they entered the city and found a place to settle in the Fengzhou military camp, a mild-mannered middle-aged man knocked on Li Yang's door.
"Is Captain Li here? In Xia Ningzhou, Du Fengju came to listen to the order! ”
