Chapter 160: News from Beyond the Mountain
Time is like flowing water, which in itself is an artificially generated illusion, and whether fast or slow will always depend on the direction of human thinking. For example, Yang Yi at this time, in the race against time, he will feel that time flies too fast, and it takes an incomparably lot of time to take every step.
Although Song Yong is a greedy villain, Yang Yi feels that the possibility of what he said is very high, even if he has any boasts, he should not be far from ten.
It is not difficult to imagine how difficult the situation of the emperor and Concubine Ning is at this moment.
It is certain that the emperor will issue an edict to the world, but Yang Yi does not expect many princes to send troops to King Qin. The people who should have been to the emperor's side have already arrived, and those who don't want to go, let alone the edict of the king of Qin, even if the knife is on their necks, they may not have the courage to face the iron cavalry of the fierce people.
Now the army around the emperor is disheartened, the fierce people are eyeing each other, Yang Jie in the capital doesn't know what tricks he is playing, and the princes of all parties are even more immovable, all kinds of signs are extremely unfavorable to the emperor, and the most important thing is that Yang Yi's mother Concubine Ning may still stay with the emperor.
Yang Yi didn't even have time to deal with Song Yong's group of moths, so he directly asked Hong Zhi to throw a few knives to the hunters and let them solve it by themselves.
When Hong Zhi and the others took the hunters who had turned into blood people down the mountain, Yang Yi just glanced at them and didn't say anything, after all, only sin can be cured.
"General, let's go with you, please take us!"
Just as Yang Yi hurriedly organized his army and prepared to set off, the hunters bowed in front of him.
Yang Yi glanced at a few hunters and said, "It's not child's play to march and fight." ”
Yang Yi was worried that these hunters were just impulsive, and once they left this mountain, there was no turning back.
Hu Shou said with tears on his face: "Home is gone, there is nothing to be nostalgic about." The general avenged us, and a few of us have nothing to do but give each other our lives! ”
Yang Yi immediately turned over and dismounted, helped a few people up, and comforted: "I don't advise you not to be sad, I just hope that you can adapt to our new home as soon as possible after grief." ”
Hong Zhi, who was standing on the side, couldn't bear to pat Hu Shou's shoulder, without words, but he knew the comfort in his heart.
Because of the addition of Hu Shou and others, Yang Yi ordered the march to be suspended and sent people to help Hu Shou and others bury all the dead in the village. Hu Shou also asked the soldiers to move out a lot of food from the mountain cellar as military rations.
Yang Yi didn't object, everyone was leaving, and there was no point in leaving the food here.
Soon, everything was ready, and the army finally marched forward again. Although it took a lot of time, it was obviously worth it, because with the addition of Hu Shou's group of hunters, the speed of the army was more than a little faster.
Without saying a word all the way, this silent army continued to advance in the mountains and forests, opening roads and building bridges in the mountains, and the distance that would have taken two days to complete was only on the night of the second day, and the army came to the edge of the Xiangshan mountain range.
For the sake of safety, even if he was in a hurry, at this time Yang Yi had to order the army to camp in the mountains, on the one hand, the continuous forced march, the soldiers were already tired, and the loss of these 10,000 soldiers were the elite of the Daguang elite, where could the ordinary sergeants withstand such a high-intensity march. On the other hand, no one knew what was going on outside the forest, and scouts had to be sent to check it out.
Half an hour later, Monkey Jian'er, who had led people to find out the news outside, came back, and brought back two people, a skinny old man and a dirty child of seven or eight years old.
The old man looked frightened, trembling all over, and protected the child behind him.
As soon as he was brought to Yang Yi by Monkey Jian'er, the old man fell to his knees with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "The military master spares his life!" The military master spares his life..."
Yang Yi glared at the monkey tip and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Monkey Jian'er spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Don't blame me, the people outside see the soldiers as if they have seen the king of Hades, if I don't scare and scare the old man, where are they willing to come to see you." ”
Yang Yi pointed at the tip of the monkey angrily, and hurriedly leaned to help the old man and the child up, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, old man, we are the generals of Daguang." ”
It's okay not to say this, as soon as Yang Yi opened his mouth, the old man who was about to stand up knelt down and kowtowed and cried: "The military master spares his life!" The military master spares his life!! ”
It seems that the "Daguang soldiers" mentioned in Yang Yi's mouth have made them suffer.
"Hey old man, you get up and speak, we won't hurt you!"
"The military master spares his life!! The military master spares his life..."
No matter how Yang Yi tried to dissuade him, the old man and the kid were just kowtowing to the mission and shouting for mercy.
Yang Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Master Jun, I order you to get up and speak!" ”
After a while, he slowly got up from the ground.
Monkey Jian'er looked at Yang Yi with a smile on the side, pouted and smiled: "Look, I've said it~"
Yang Yi didn't have time to talk nonsense with the monkey tip, looked at the old man and said coldly: "If I ask you, you will answer." ”
The old man seemed to be frightened, and nodded his head in a wooden voice.
"Is this your grandson?" Yang Yi pointed to the black child hiding behind the old man and asked.
The old man subconsciously protected the child behind him, and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but seeing that Yang Yi's face was not good, he had to nod and say, "Yes... Be. ”
Yang Yi frowned and said, "You old and young, why are you still running around outside in the middle of the night?" ”
The old man cried and replied: "Don't blame the military master, our grandfather and grandson really have nowhere to go, and they were rushed here all the way from Yunzhou by the fierce Di people, and I thought that I could finally take a breath after entering Xiguan, but the adults guarding the pass said that there was not enough food in the pass, and we old and weak women and children were driven out again..."
"You came out of Xiguan?"
"It's... Yes, many people like us are being kicked out of Xiguan every day. ”
"Then old man, do you know what is going on in Xiguan, have you heard of the emperor's whereabouts?"
After talking a few words, the old man didn't seem to be so nervous, and he also found that Yang Yi was not so vicious.
"I don't know where the emperor has gone, but there are many people living in Xiguan now, in addition to countless armor soldiers and ordinary people, there are also many family members of officials and masters, and even the emperor's concubines are locked up in Xiguan..."
Yang Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know which concubine it is?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard some people say that she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and somehow she is in Xiguan." ”
Yang Yi asked some more questions, but after all, the grandfather and grandson were refugees, and the information they knew was extremely limited, and it was basically hearsay.
