Chapter 16 Beyond the Great Wall

The expression on Huang Feng's face at this time was full of panic, fear, and confusion. He still believed what Yang Chen said, because they had already found relevant clues and evidence, and what those people in the yamen did had already proved that they did mean to kill people in order to ensure that the matter was not exposed.

However, as long as he thought that this matter was actually an illegal act done by colluding with many county officials below the county order, Huang Feng didn't know what to do at all, he could only look at the fourth master: "My lord, what should we do next?" The voice of the question was already trembling.

Regarding this question, Yang Chen was also at a loss at this time. Originally, he only said that this case only involved a small number of officials in the county government, so as long as he could find evidence and go back and show it, everything would come to light, and Zhu County would be able to give him justice. But now it seems that things are not like that. Even not only the people of the county government, but even the defending generals in Guancheng may be complicit with them, so if he goes back and shows these evidences, it will be no different from sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

In particular, they escaped from prison this time, and they were also discovered by the guards of the city. This is going back, and a crime of ill-intentioned and even a foreign enemy is indispensable. When the time comes, those people will have less trouble making excuses, and they will be able to kill the two of them directly on the charge of treason.

After thinking about this, Yang Chen immediately said: "At least one thing we can confirm, we can't go back to this Biguan County." ”

"Huh? So where do we go? Huang Feng was even more hesitant in his heart, and immediately asked.

"The only way to do this now is to take a detour to the north, and the idea is to enter Datong City to underwrite all this Lord Yang Yiqing, and he will preside over justice." After pondering for a moment, Yang Chen quickly gave his plan.

And Huang Feng was completely stunned by his words, and only after a while did he say, "Lord Yang Yiqing...... Can we really see him? Will he take our word for it? ”

As a capable minister who was canonized by the imperial court as a trilateral commander-in-chief, has been guarding the border pass for many years, has repeatedly made military exploits, and at the same time has built the Great Wall for many years and strengthened the defense of the border pass, there is no one in the northern area who has never heard of his name and deeds, and there is no one who does not respect him and is convinced.

Now Yang Chen suddenly proposed to go to Datong to find Yang Yiqing to administer justice, which naturally made Huang Feng feel refreshed, but at the same time he had some doubts. After all, they are now the leading big people in the border cities of the Northland, how can they be seen by those people in the county government? And even if he did, would he really believe what they said?

However, Yang Chen seemed very confident: "Don't worry, as long as I get to Datong, I have my own way to meet Lord Yang." As he spoke, his hand pinched the brocade shirt waist card that had been hidden back in his sleeve. With this, presumably even Lord Yang can't ignore it.

Huang Feng saw that he was sure of what he said, and he was sure in his heart: "Then let's start here?" ”

"Yes, without further ado. We'll have to get out of here as soon as possible before those people in the city react and send people out of the city to chase them. Yang Chen nodded.

Immediately, the two of them threw off their steps, quickly walked out of the pine forest, and then after identifying the direction, they hurried in the direction where the Northeast Datong City was located. However, these two people were obviously negligent, now that they were outside the Great Wall, not to mention anything else, it was not easy to find food on this grassland.

————

The Great Wall, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was built by Yan, Zhao, Wei and other countries to resist the attack of the Huns, and after the Qin unified the six countries, it was connected into a line, thus becoming a strong defense line that winds for thousands of miles to defend the Central Plains.

In fact, the Great Wall of China separates not only two ethnic groups, but also two completely different ways of living. To the south of the Great Wall, farming was the most basic way of life, while in the north, people of all ethnic groups lived nomadically.

This difference is also naturally reflected in the scenery inside and outside the Great Wall. The land of the Han family in the Great Wall, even in the Biguan County near Guancheng, there are many fields for the people to cultivate and weave, but as long as they cross this defense line, there is only the vast desert and grassland that cannot be seen at a glance.

Especially now that it is close to autumn and winter, everything is sluggish, the grass is gradually withering, this grassland is even more solemn, and there is no human population near the Great Wall near the junction of the two sides.

If someone is in it, what they can feel is the vastness and loneliness of this world, and everything seems so quiet. Only a few hares, perhaps cautiously hopping through the meadows to prepare the last bit of food for the winter, looking for anything to take with them.

But just as they were foraging for food as usual, the ground suddenly trembled, and the already timid rabbit quickly ducked into the grass, while its ears were raised high, and it was aware of its surroundings.

Then, a fierce sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, which made the rabbits even more panicked, and quickly burrowed into the burrow beside them, and disappeared in an instant.

And the sound of horses' hooves came closer and closer after they disappeared, and there were actually more than a dozen men dressed in Mongolian clothes, and all of them looked quite tired and hasty, as if they were running away from something.

After a desperate run for an unknown amount of time, the horses on the grassland were visibly tired, and although they were still galloping forward, their steps were a little vain, and they snorted from time to time. Seeing this, the knight subconsciously pulled the reins so that the horse could relax for a while. For the people of the steppe, the horse is their most precious and most valuable possession and most trusted friend, so it is necessary to ensure its health as much as possible.

"Qinggele, how far do you think we are from Datong?" After slowing down the speed of the gallop a little, the first person turned his head and asked the black-faced strong man beside him. Unlike the other Mongolian knights, his body was much thinner, and his face seemed to be more delicate, but he was still just a teenager.

The strong Mongolian man named Qinggel looked forward, but what he saw was the vast grassland with no edge in sight. So after hesitating, he could only say: "Don't beg, it shouldn't be far away, in three or five days, we can reach the foot of the Great Wall of the Han people, and then we will be safe." ”

"Will it take another three or five days? They are only half a day's journey away from us, and if they try to catch up, we will be in danger. When the boy heard this, he couldn't help frowning worriedly.

Yes, they escaped from the depths of the grassland, chased and killed by hundreds of elite elders, and more than half of their companions died under the pursuer's knife for protecting them along the way, and now if they don't find the border city of the Ming Dynasty quickly, they will probably really die under the pursuer's bow and knife.

"Don't beg, don't worry, we have sworn to Changshengtian that even if you die, we must protect you to enter Datong City and find the Han officials." Qingler immediately opened his mouth to cheer up. His words were also quickly echoed by others: "Yes, don't beg, we will definitely escort you into the Great Wall!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of galloping horses' hooves in front of them, and when they looked far away, they saw a figure on a horse galloping towards this side, and at a glance, there were no less than a hundred people!

This change suddenly made everyone's faces change, especially Na Qingle, who exclaimed: "It's not good, I didn't expect that Nabohuer was as cunning as a jackal this time, and actually thought of the tactics of dividing the troops and copying them!" We are surrounded by them! ”

As if to verify that his judgment was correct, there was also the sound of a fast horse galloping behind him, which was still calm, and then a Ming Di suddenly shot into the sky in front and behind, and the two cavalry chasing in front of him had already echoed.

After seeing this scene, everyone's faces turned pale, and many people turned their eyes to Qingler. Although the most noble person in this team is the young man, everyone knows that the only one who can really command everyone to fight and break through is Qingle.

At this time, Qinggel no longer talked about any dignity and humility, and immediately gave an order: "Kuye, if you take three people back to meet the enemy, you will definitely slow down the pace of the pursuers." They are fast horses to catch up, the horses must be tired, as long as the distance is controlled, they can drag on for a while. At this moment, he was really glad that he had just let them rest a little because he cared about horsepower, otherwise there would really be no way.

Ku also hurriedly agreed loudly, took a little bit of the three people around him, and led them to turn around and pounce on the cavalry team that was rolling in the rear. Even if the opponent's strength is dozens of times that of their own, they have no intention of flinching. Isn't it just death? But before you die, you must hold off the enemy and create conditions for the other beggars to escape.

While they were rushing out, another five-man cavalry team had already rushed straight towards the approaching enemy. Qingler and the boy led the remaining five men to turn their horses sharply and run to the side.

Qinggele knew very well in his heart that if he fought hard, his own men and horses would be enough for others to stuff their teeth, and he didn't want to fight his way out of the encirclement at all. So if you want to get out, you have to sacrifice some people in exchange for time.

"Qingler, you're sending them to death...... the young man had already understood at this time, and his face was full of sadness.

"Tana, there is no way to do it, only in this way can we get out, and their death is worth it!" Qingler said, whipping the horse under her crotch to make it run faster.

At the same time, the two groups of men and horses who had been sent to delay the enemy's footsteps had already engaged the pursuers, and for a while, arrows were in the air and screams were heard......
