Chapter 90: Hunted and killed
Seeing the reactions of the people around him, Yang Mu glared at Shen An fiercely, a little hated the taste of iron not being steel.
The latter lowered his head in shame, but he didn't expect that the words he habitually blurted out would expose the identity of His Majesty the Emperor, and this private visit to Weifu can be said to be the end of it.
These people, to kill or not to kill?
Killed, it's a hundred, but the sudden death of so many people will definitely cause a sensation, in order to avoid any danger, you can only hurry back to the palace.
If you don't kill, your whereabouts will still be exposed, once the local officials learn that His Majesty the Emperor is investigating corruption and bribery, I am afraid that there will be even more chaos, he and Ji Ling'er will not have a problem teaching more than a dozen people, but if the local government dispatches county soldiers on a large scale, or hundreds of private soldiers together, it will be difficult to fly.
"Let's kill them all, let's hurry back to the palace." Yang Mu thought for a moment and said.
"That'...... The mother and son ......," Shen An groaned.
"Take it with you, and go back to the palace together."
"And the half-dead man......"
"He doesn't have to bring it, feed something, life and death are fateful, and call someone over."
Yang Mu sighed softly, everyone could see that the man lying on the bed had not lived for a few days, this was the result of perennial overdraft and malnutrition, as long as there was a slight illness, the body would deteriorate all of a sudden, and there would be no way to recover.
Shen An nodded, he has been trained as the emperor's personal eunuch since he was a child, not only has some martial arts foundation, but has also been secretly cultivated to kill, there is no objection to this, anyway, it is more than a dozen bad people who have done a lot of evil, and they are innocent.
More than a dozen family guards hurriedly begged for mercy, most of them were injured and could not escape, but three of them took the opportunity to escape, but they were discovered by Ji Ling'er, who was quick-eyed, and clicked on their bodies.
Then, it doesn't move.
This made Yang Mu on the side stunned.
Point point?
In this world, is there really a bit of acupuncture?
When will Ji Ling'er point points? Since you can point the acupoints, why didn't you order them before?
But immediately, he understood, it wasn't that Ji Ling'er didn't use it before, but that her heat was not yet ready, and those strong men who were hit by the acupuncture point recovered their ability to move and entangle in just a moment, and they took soft steps and wanted to continue to escape.
However, it was in this short period of time that Shen An used a dagger he carried with him to kill the lives of the remaining dozen or so people, and then killed these three people on the ground.
And then there's the village chief.
The village chief had completely given up struggling, from the moment he knew that Yang Mu was the current emperor, his brain and heart had been sweating, and the whole person seemed to have collapsed, losing all his strength, lying on the ground motionless.
Even if you get out, will you be able to survive?
The entire Cangguo belongs to the emperor, and it is not a simple matter to arrest him with an order?
With a soft thud, the blood flowed like a torrent.
A head, tumbling to the ground......
……
A group of six people, driving a carriage, galloped all the way on the official road.
Unlike last night, the atmosphere in the carriage was much more solemn today.
Since learning that Yang Mu is His Majesty the Emperor, the mother and son beside him have never stopped trembling, and their speech has become more restrained.
Yang Mu touched his chin, is he so terrible?
"Your Majesty, a team of men and horses is catching up behind." At this time, Ji Ling'er put down the curtain behind the carriage and said solemnly.
A team of people catching up?
Yang Mu was startled, and hurriedly opened the curtains to look outside, and through the small window, he could see that there were about dozens of masked people, all riding horses, making a gurgling sound, galloping towards this side.
Masked people? Riding a horse?
Yang Mu is colorful, masked in broad daylight, this is already suspicious, he is definitely not a good person, and he is riding a horse, which can explain a lot of problems!
Regular Army!
You know, up to now, Yang Mu has not heard of such a thing as stirrups, even if it is the messenger in the current Cangguo army, there is only one saddle on horseback, and the horse is a easily frightened animal, in the absence of stirrups, it is very difficult to ride a horse, and it is very unsafe, so there are very few people who ride horses among the people, and only the army will train some messengers and guards on horseback.
These dozens of people, each of whom is riding a horse and looks skilled, must be from the army!
As for who it is for, who else but himself?
What made Yang Mu puzzled was that he had stayed in Taoyuan County for more than an hour, and his whereabouts had been very secretive, even if his whereabouts were exposed, it would have to be a few hours later when the Taoyuan County Order responded, right? Why did the pursuers come to assassinate so soon?
Right now, on this official road where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, who can stop dozens of well-trained elites in the army?
"Ling'er, can you solve these people?" Yang Mu asked in a deep voice.
Ji Ling'er bit her lip and shook her head: "These people are all elite in the army and well-equipped, not comparable to the dozen or so family nursing homes before, even if Shen An and I combined, it will be difficult to retreat with all their bodies, not to mention ...... And you and Concubine Nuo ......."
"Your Majesty, the concubine can stay and let Gonggong Shen and Ling'er escort you first!" Concubine Nuo suddenly held Yang Mu's hand and said earnestly.
"Folk women...... Women can stay, too! The woman hugged the young man in her arms with a firm expression: "His Majesty the Emperor was sent by God to save our poor people, with God's blessing, it will be fine!" ”
Yang Mu looked at the two of them in surprise, and said that adversity saw the truth, but he didn't expect these two people to resolutely choose to sacrifice themselves at this extremely critical time.
After all, even fools can see that if they stay here, they will definitely be killed by those masked men.
"No! I can't leave you behind! Yang Mu said in a deep voice, and then asked Shen An, who was driving outside the carriage, "How far is it from the imperial city?" ”
"Sanli!" Shen An replied anxiously while whipping his horsewhip vigorously.
"Three miles of ......" Yang Mu groaned, with the speed of the carriage, it would definitely be caught up in a few minutes, and it was impossible to escape by relying on the carriage, even if there were a few fewer people in the carriage to reduce the weight, it was meaningless.
As for being escorted by Shen An and Ji Ling'er, jumping out of the carriage and escaping, it is even more impossible, the other party is all on horseback, and it is a matter of minutes to catch up with a few people who escaped.
Is it going to fall here today?
It's just that this is too much of a coincidence, right?
There was also a strangeness in the coincidence, as if everything was premeditated, and he specially picked up three miles outside the imperial city to catch up with him, and then killed him on the official road.
Could it be that these people weren't sent by the Taoyuan County Order?
Yes, it must be so, the Taoyuan County Commander is just a magistrate, and he has not been in office for a month, how can he dispatch such an elite horse team?
"Drive-"
"Drive-"
"Stop!"
"Emperor Xiao'er, today is your death!"
Suddenly, the people shouted and neighed, and a small group of people and horses took the lead in galloping and stopped in front of the driver!
