Chapter 320: The Little Lamb
Chapter 320: The Little Lamb
When Zhu Jiyun was brought to An Yi's horse, An Yi saw that he was no different from seeing the tattered Huazi on the side of the Taiyuan street, and even more so than the Huazi was the bruised left cheek that was already red and swollen.
"Dare to ask...... It's Uncle Jingyuan right away? ”
An Yi looked the young man up and down, although the left cheek was already puffed up, but this did not delay him from seeing this unfamiliar face clearly,
"Are you ......?"
"Under ...... Under ......"
Of course, Zhu Jiyun knew about the festival between his father and the only Jingyuan uncle in front of him who could help him now, so he made his words clear for a while, "In Xia Zhu Jiyun, my father is ...... The left attendant of the Ministry of Officials is Zhu Zongchen. ”
"Zhu Zongchen? The former Sichuan Cheng announced the political envoy Zhu Zongchen? ”
The meaning of doubt was almost written on An Yi's face, he felt that although Zhu Zongchen was not a rich businessman, he was a dignified member of the court, and his eldest son would not be so miserable, right? And how can it be ...... Got on your knees in front of yourself?
"You say that you are the eldest prince of Zhufu, it seems that you lack some convincing power, right?"
Facing An Yi's questioning, Zhu Jiyun hurriedly lowered his head without saying a word and turned over the jade pendant that was originally hanging on his waist, but he came all the way to death, and his clothes were already torn, where could he still find the original piece of mutton fat jade pendant?
"Where's my jade pendant? It was hung here before...... Where did it go? Uncle, I'm really not lying, I'm really Zhu Jiyun! ”
An Yi looked at the little young master while pointing to the belt around his empty waist, and was about to cry out as if to explain to him,
However, although An Yi was not moved by Zhu Jiyun's voice, a cavalry general behind him recognized the young master of the Bamboo Mansion, took two steps forward, and whispered a few words in An Yi's ear.
After listening to this, An Yi glanced at Zhu Jiyun with no expression on his face,
"What? Do you have something to do with me? "Because of Zhu Zongchen, he doesn't have a good impression of the Zhu family at the moment, and his voice is cold.
"Please Uncle Jing Yuan save my sister!"
Although he felt that An Yi didn't seem to have a good impression of him, Zhu Jiyun still fell into the mud and begged for comfort with a crying voice.
"Your sister? Zhu Qingyi? ”
"Yes, a few days ago, my sister and I secretly ran out of the house to go outside to relax, so we followed the army of peace talks until we reached a small town on the edge of Lu'an County. Last night, I took my sister from the inn with people and horses, I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't stop them, and I was beaten by them, I really had no choice, so I came to ask my uncle, and begged my uncle to save my sister! ”
An Yi listened to Zhu Jiyun's crying words, and listened to it in the clouds, I don't know if it was urgent, I felt that this kid was incoherent when he spoke,
He raised his head and looked in the direction that Zhu Jiyun was pointing to, and simply asked directly, "The group of people who kidnapped your sister and went over there?" How can you be sure that they are Liao? ”
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes, they were heading towards the northwest, their horses riding fast, and the scimitars in their hands were at least as long! The shopkeeper of the inn also said that they were not from the Central Plains, and they must have come from the north. ”
Zhu Jiyun gestured towards An Yi with both hands, and his voice was anxious.
"You are presumptuous! If you are an innkeeper, you dare to use it to fool our uncle! What people from Zhufu, get out! We have to go back to Taiyuan to resume our lives, how can we have time to care about your idle business, get out of ....."
The people who came out of Chengdu with An Yi have no good impression of the old fox Zhu Zongchen, which also includes the personal soldier Mao Zi around An Yi,
Mao Zi was impatient, urging the war horse under his crotch to drive away Zhu Jiyun, who was kneeling in front of the comfortable horse, but was stopped by An Yi beside him.
"Forget it, I don't think this kid is like a deceitful person, no matter what he is like Zhu Zongchen, take 10,000 steps back and say that Zhu Qingyi is also a yellow flower girl, she was raised by her father's mother, and she let the Liao people spoil it in vain, and she must not be distressed to death when she is a father."
As he spoke, he raised his hand towards Zhu Jiyun in front of the horse, motioned for him to get up, and said, "Whether what you say is true or not, you can't let the Liao people bully people like this, lead the way, I'll go with you on this trip." But now that the night has passed since the time you said, I can't guarantee whether your sister is okay now. ”
Seeing An Yi nodding and agreeing, Zhu Jiyun happily wiped off the snot and tears on his face with the rag-like sleeve robe, and then regardless of the image of Sven, he slammed his head into the mud towards An Yi again.
"Thank you, uncle! Thank you, Uncle! My sister is saved! ”
"Okay, get up, the man doesn't flick if he has tears, what do you look like. Do you know how to ride a horse? ”
As expected, Zhu Jiyun was really a "lady show" who didn't go out of the door, looked at the sneering war horse, and shook his head blankly.
An Yi sighed helplessly, turned his head and ordered: "Maozi, take this little boy with you, pick up our personal soldiers and go with me!" ”
"Yes!"
No matter what attitude he had towards Nazhu Jiyun just now, as soon as the order came out, Mao Zi would definitely be unambiguous. Turning around, he waved his hand and took the seventeen or eighteen soldiers who had come to the peace talks with them, reined in the reins of his horse, and prepared to follow Anyi on his horse.
"Uncle! Uncle! Don't be in danger! ”
However, the cavalry general behind didn't expect that this hall Jing Yuanbo was reckless enough, and chased after the Liao people with these dozen or so people, didn't he send his life? Thinking that this hand was also unambiguous, he pointed the silver spear in his hand forward: "The whole army has an order!" Protect Uncle, come with me! ”
The generals who reacted followed Anyi with the cavalry and headed towards the northwest......
As Zhu Jiyun said, this little young master of the Bamboo Mansion really doesn't know how to ride a horse at all, and An Yi thinks that he may be sitting on this war horse, and it should be the first time that the big girl gets on the sedan chair. As the wind of hunting blew in his ears, he saw Zhu Jiyun holding Maozi's back tightly, as if he was afraid that the bumpy horse under his crotch would accidentally fall off the horse.
"You are really bold enough, Xiao Xiucai, who has never even ridden a horse, dares to stop in front of the Liao people." An Yi looked at Zhu Jiyun's blue nose and swollen face, and was very surprised that this weak young master could come back to life under the strong Khitan fist.
"At that time in Wang Jing, my sister was not also a daughter, and she was in front of me and my father."
Although the high bulging cheeks on the left side made Zhu Jiyun's still handsome appearance very incongruous, An Yi really saw a ball of firmness and courage that belonged to him from the bottom of his eyes.
"Your sister is lucky, I don't send someone to Wang Jing, which of the two of them can return to Taiyuan alive?"
"I ...... I didn't think about it that much, I just ....... I just want to save my sister. ”
An Yi turned his head and carefully looked at this little young master who was timid, but he was not afraid to stand in front of the Liao people, he didn't answer Zhu Jiyun's words again, just pursed the corners of his mouth, revealing a subtle smile.
.............
Liaoying outpost
Xiao Yan'er's military camp was not far from the location where Anyi was located, and because it was still in the territory of Great Xia, Generalissimo Han Guangde did not slack off because of the end of the peace talks, and ordered the Liao army sentry cavalry battalion to cooperate with Guo Muer's dragon cavalry to patrol alternately, which could not guarantee the safety of the Chinese army.
In fact, as An Yi said, Guo Muer's dragon cavalry unceremoniously said that it was already the highest combat power in this Shaanxi and mountainous region, and their addition made the sentry cavalry battalion originally responsible for vigilance and patrol a lot easier.
But it's easy to be easy, after all, Empress Dowager Xiao is in the army, so the patrol that should be there is not half a point.
"General!"
Seeing the oncoming sentry cavalry camp Meng'an, the cavalry who had just returned from patrol saluted him respectfully,
"Well, what's going on in the south? Is there any abnormality? ”
The Meng An who spoke was none other than the fierce-faced man who first went to the hotel where the two Zhu Jiyun brothers and sisters lived to find something, and later led the cavalry to loot Zhu Qingyi!
"General, rest assured, the brethren have just returned from a change of guard, and everything is normal. Besides, with Long Xiangqi and General Guo here, which Han people who are not afraid of death dare to mess around? ”
"Although General Guo Muer is here, don't let your guard down, the Queen Mother can be in the camp!"
"Yes!"
As he spoke, the fierce-faced man looked at the small tents on the east side of the sentry camp.
In the eyes of the cavalrymen in front of them, they seemed to know what the general was thinking, and they whispered with a lewd smile: "Don't worry, general, all the lambs are in the tent, you can go over whenever you want." ”
After hearing this, the fierce-faced man quickly retracted his gaze, looked left and right vigilantly, and then glanced fiercely at the cavalryman who intervened in front of him, as if he didn't want his subordinates to mention this matter in public, and ordered with some displeasure: "Continue to patrol your defense!" Don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't say, if the generalissimo and the queen mother know about this lamb, how many lives do you have to use to atone for your crimes?! ”
"Yes~Yes~"
The cavalryman who slapped the horse's hooves hurriedly lowered his head Vino, holding the horse's reins in his hand and clamping his legs, and was about to slip away.
"The chick I caught yesterday hasn't been put on the shelves yet, so let's bring my brothers to put out the fire later." Let's rush all the way back to Shangjing, and there are still a lot of fierce battles to fight. ”
"Yes! Be! Although the words had not changed, the cavalryman's tone was already the same as the expression on his face, and he looked so ecstatic.
The lamb in the mouth of the Liao people refers to the women of the Han family who were robbed by them like Zhu Qingyi, and the purpose of arresting these people is to give these Khitan men who lick blood from the knife all day long a place to vent. Of course, the life or death of these "lambs" is not within the scope of these people's considerations.
Regarding this matter, it can be said that the entire Liao army, whether it is a general or a soldier, is tacitly acquiesced, and even more so, Yelu Xiuke will even participate in it.
However, before the start of the peace talks, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the peace talks, Xiao Yan'er had instructed Generalissimo Han Guangde at least 15 days in advance to order the whole army not to clash with the Han people, especially the army, without permission.
However, the fierce man who committed the crime seemed to have turned a deaf ear to Empress Xiao's edict, and after telling the cavalry patrolling the defense, he still walked towards the small tents he mentioned just now.
Because these small tents belong to the sentry guard, they are still some distance away from the Chinese army camp, and they are set up in the shade at the foot of the mountain, which looks extremely secretive. But before he could enter the tent, he heard the roars and the mournful and desperate cries inside.
"It's been a whole night, and Lao Ke'an can't even subdue a woman now?"
The fierce-faced man lifted the felt curtain of the tent on the far right, looked at a short, fat man sitting on a sheepskin spot, panting for breath, holding mare's milk wine, and laughed at him.
The man was hardly wearing any decent clothes, just a sheepskin jacket stained with yellow-brown oil, a silver ring about the size of three or two ordinary girls' earrings in front of his nose and at the corner of his mouth, and a striking scar on his left cheek, plus the fat belly that was almost falling to the ground, this combination added up, even if Liu Er stood in front of him, it was enough for Yushu to stand in front of him.
"Phew!"
After hearing his words, the old Ke'an in the mouth of the fierce-faced man spat into the mud on the ground, pointed to the woman in front of him who was tied hands and feet and threw them in the corner of the tent and complained: "I really don't know where you found such a chick!" I have a big temper, not to mention hurting one of our brothers, I didn't see it just now, and I was about to cut it after I drew my knife, if I hadn't reacted quickly and tied her here, I would have told her to die here with a knife! ”
Looking in the direction in which Lao Ke'an spoke, there was indeed a woman with a bloody face on her face, her arms pulled behind her and her feet tied with thick hemp rope on the same side.
Of course, the fierce-faced man knew that this woman was Zhu Qingyi, whom he had looted from that town yesterday......
