The person who came behind was none other than Jiang Tuozi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It turned out that Jiang Tuozi was old and felt less. When the night of the fourth watch was approaching, he accidentally found that Yang Guang walked out of the post station with a slender woman, and out of curiosity, Jiang Tuozi followed.

When he found that outside the post gate, Yang Guang and the woman rode together, whipped their horses, and galloped away in the direction of due east, Jiang Tuozi suddenly woke up. So, I didn't even care about going back to the room to pack my luggage, so I hurriedly turned around and came to the stable in the Changle Post Yard and took the gray donkey I was riding, turned over on the donkey, and rushed all the way over.

After all, the donkey's foot strength is slightly inferior to that of a horse, and it is dark and Jiang Tuozi is a few years old, so he chased it until the dawn of the day, and he was able to catch up.

"Lord Wang, you set off in the middle of the night and three watches, where are you going?" Jiang Tuozi panted and rode a donkey to Yang Guang and asked.

Yang Guangzao recognized Jiang Tuozi from his voice, frowned, and was about to speak, when Li Hun beside him had already replied first: "A few of us are protecting the prince in private affairs, and we are aware of the people's feelings, you don't need to make a fuss, hurry back to the post station." ”

Jiang Tuozi hunched his back on the donkey's back, and looked at An Ruoxi, who was riding with Yang Guang, suspiciously, and vaguely felt that this woman was a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't believe that she was the personal maid beside Yang Guang, so he begged Yang Guangyang with his hand: "Since the prince wants to observe the people's feelings, the old man has traveled to and from various parts of the Kanto region since he was a child, so it is better for the old man to be a guide for the prince." ”

Li Hun heard that the old man in front of him dared to call himself an old man in front of Yang Guang, and was about to scold him harshly, so he heard Yang Guang say: "Jiang Tuozi, this king has these generals by his side, and it should be no big problem. You are an old man, how can this king bear to ask you to be your guide? It's better to go back to the post station as soon as possible and go to Bingzhou with the two generals Duan and Yu and the hussar battalion. ”

Jiang Tuozi chased for more than an hour, before catching up with Yang Guang and the others, where was he sent back in a few words, listening to Yang Guang's words, it was inconvenient to insist on following, only while pulling out the donkey's head, while muttering: "It's okay, the old man will go back to the post station to report to the two generals, and ask them to send more people to protect the prince." ”

Yang Guang was afraid that Jiang Tuozi would reveal his whereabouts when he returned to the post station, at this time they had not left the post station for a short time, if Duan Da and Yu Juluo immediately got the news and sent someone to chase after him, he was afraid that within a day, he would be caught up by them, and he was persuaded to return to the post station, frowned and thought for a moment, and then said to Jiang Tuozi: "It's hard to have a person like you who is familiar with the roads in the Kanto region and is willing to be the guide of this king's trip, if you can survive the fatigue, let's go together." ”

Jiang Tuozi was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he looked up, he was looking at An Ruoxi, seeing An Ruoxi frowning and winking at him, he clearly wanted him to return to the post station immediately, and report the news that Yang Guang left the post station without permission and served the news of his private trip, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and he was in a dilemma for a while, and he hesitated.

"Lord Wang, look, a team of people came out of Huazhou City in front of us, and they are walking in the direction where we are." Li Hun suddenly pointed in the direction of the distant city in front of him and shouted to Yang Guang.

At this time, the sky was already bright, Yang Guang heard Li Hun say that the city in front of him was Huazhou City, which had just quelled a rebellion not long ago, and immediately turned around and looked up in the direction where the city was located, only to see a majestic and majestic mountain standing behind the city, and the white clouds floating in the middle of the mountain on the horizon, the scenery was not spectacular. Looking closer, it was faintly visible that a group of men and horses had come out of the city, and they were walking in the direction where they were.

"Just do what we said before. Go, come forward, and see. Yang Guang turned around and said to Yu Xiaoren and Li Hun, waved his hand at Jiang Tuozi, and ran out first.

At this point, Jiang Tuozi had no choice but to ignore An Ruoxi, clamp the two spans of the donkey between his legs, and run forward with Yang Guang and his party.

Yang Guang ran out of the horse for less than a quarter of an hour, and he could see clearly the clothes and costumes of the group of men and horses who came out of Huazhou City: the five or six hundred people walking in it seemed to be a group of prisoners who were being escorted, wearing their clothes backwards, most of them were wearing their hair scattered, drooping their heads, and marching listlessly, and behind this group of people, there were about a hundred sergeants armed with swords and spears who were responsible for transporting them, and only one of them was riding a war horse, dressed in full armor. It should be the leading general in this escort sergeant.

Needless to say, most of the five or six hundred people wearing military uniforms were the sergeants who participated in the rebellion, and they were being escorted out of the city today, and they did not know where they were going.

Yang Guang saw clearly the identity and attire of the oncoming group of people and horses, and pondered in his heart that he was slightly obedient and private, so he left Changle Station not far away, and did not want to meet the officers and soldiers of the brigade, and was about to pull out the horse's head and avoid the side, but he heard someone in the team of officers and soldiers responsible for transporting the prisoners shouting at him: "Who is riding on the horse in front?" And stand still. ”

At this time, Yu Xiaoren, Li Hun and others rushed up with horses, and seeing this situation, they hurriedly escorted Yang Guang in the middle, and the prancing horse came to a nearby hillside, and waited for the officers and soldiers to approach and talk.

At the same time that the attention of the officers and soldiers escorting the prisoners was attracted by Yang Guang and others, there was a sudden commotion among the prisoners, and some people shouted in the queue: "Brothers, the person who saved us is here, run." When the prisoners heard this cry, their spirits were lifted, and immediately thirty or fifty people took the lead in breaking away from the whole procession, spreading their legs and running.

The general on the horse did not expect that as soon as he left the city, someone took the lead in escaping, shouted angrily, picked up his bow and arrow, aimed at a prisoner who ran in front, and "swished" an arrow, the prisoner ran out only a few dozen steps, and was shot through the neck by this arrow, and fell to the ground forward, unable to get up again.

"Get them all back." The sergeants under General Zuo Chong gave an order, took the lead in blocking the prisoners' escape path, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and slammed the heads of the fleeing prisoners with a slash on their heads. At that time, seven or eight prisoners were so head-wrenched that they crouched on the ground.

The sergeants, armed with swords and spears, rushed forward, and in an instant subdued the prisoners who had taken the lead in the escape, and escorted them back to the brigade.

The general Zuo, who led the escort of the prisoners, saw that Yang Guang and the others were stationed on the horse and did not move, and raised the whip in his hand, and immediately one or two dozen sergeants rushed over and surrounded Yang Guang and his party of six people and five cavalry.

The general who led the team, Zobal, turned his horse's head, walked up to the prisoners of the brigade with his toes, pointed at the prisoners with the horsewhip in his hand, and asked, "Who is shouting and instigating people to escape?" There is a kind of Lao Tzu to stand up. ”

Before he could speak, he suddenly felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and before he could react, he was pulled off the horse by Shengsheng.
