Chapter 198: Shanyang Encounter with Thieves (I)

On the 27th day of the ninth month of the summer calendar, in the evening of this day, a group of people accelerated on the road leading from the lower palace. A horse chariot was in front, more than a dozen single riders were on the left and right, and the rest of the walkers were also in a hurry.

This is exactly Zhao Wuxian and his party, he originally planned to set off after the rooster crows early in the morning, but during this period, some information came about the movements of the rest of the Qing clan and the small sect, and he needed to participate in the public discussion. So he delayed until the afternoon, and then left the city.

At present, Zhao Ying's condition is good, and He Leling said that he is in a state of not waking up, and maybe tomorrow after Zhao Wuxian returns, he will be able to witness his recovery.

Although the situation around the lower palace and Xinjiang was delicate, according to the detailed return arranged by Fu Suo, the family soldiers of the Fan Zhongxing clan had never been transferred on a large scale of more than 1,000 people. After learning about the specific situation of Zhao Ying, Han's small actions also stopped, after all, the stability of the Zhao-Han alliance is the most important thing, and it is said that there is also the credit of Han Hu's advice.

As for the Wei Zhishi, they got the news a little later, and by the time they reacted, Zhao Ying might have woken up.

But Zhao Wuxian still has a faint sense of insecurity, you must know that Fan Ying is now in Chaoge, and Bacheng has already learned the news of Zhao Ying's "or death", and has even sent back instructions. If he took a risky action and took the decisiveness that he had when he harmed the Luan clan decades ago, and led the army to attack the Zhao clan, it would be in the past few days, and he had to guard against it.

Therefore, if you don't go back to Chengxiang to arrange a pass, you will feel that 6↖ is not at ease.

This time when he returned to Chengxiang, Zhao Wuxian only planned to stay for one night, inspect the Dao, and after arranging the preparations for defense and running and transferring at any time, he rushed to the lower palace early tomorrow morning. Nevertheless. But he remained as cautious as ever: the king drove a chariot driven by a horse, flanked by two light knights with bows and quivers. Led by Yu Xi.

For the rest of the light knights, Zhao Wuxian arranged for them to be under the control of Jia Ji. Stay in the lower palace, firstly, to protect Ji Yingleling, and secondly, if there is anything urgent, it is better to return the letter. And the tribute office in the city is protected by Yu Yu and others, in case of chaos in the Jin Kingdom, he does not want to lose the tribute.

Behind the car, there are more than a dozen township soldiers, most of whom are specially selected "people who dare to die". They wore light armor and swords. These people were originally arranged by Zhao Wuxian in his residence in the lower palace, preparing for any crisis, so that they could riot and kill, but everything was calm.

So he made the best use of his things and let them follow them back and forth to the countryside as subordinates. Although these soldiers were fierce and vicious, they did not obey the discipline of the military officials, but they were loyal to Zhao Wuxian.

Zhao Wuxian according to their character. Once you push the clothes and the food, you can make it die. Tian Ben, who caused trouble before and was punished by Zhao Wuxian. Also among them.

It was not an official road from the palace to Chengxiang, and it was very shabby, and it was a little muddy after the autumn rain. From time to time, the carriage would get stuck in the mud and need to be pushed by the soldiers. So. Normally, it only takes an hour and a half, but now it takes two and a half hours to travel. At night, it's even slower.

Just walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, and when it was about to get dark, the group saw the raised hills in Chengxiang.

"Jun, there is Shanyang Pavilion in front!" As soon as Tian Ben walked, he pushed the cart hard for a while, and took the initiative to run ahead to open the road for a while, and he would trot over to report to Zhao Wuxian.

After a month of torture, and under the deterrence of Zhao Wuxian's new military law, he seemed to be a lot more honest. A few days ago, he was arranged in the residence of the lower palace and was not allowed to go out, but Tian Ben was obedient and obedient, and he held it until today.

But last time, Zhao Wuxian still had a pimple in his heart, although he tried his best to help him get rid of the trouble, he didn't like to deal with him recently, just nodded slightly, but remembered another thing.

"I remember that this Shanyang Pavilion is the only way to go north to Jinyang, and the pavilion chief here is called Cheng Xuan, which is the son of Cheng Wu, and it is said that it is doing well. These days, I have specially praised him, saying that he is loyal to his duty and can be of great use......"

If I'm not mistaken, the last time Uncle Zhongxin wanted to burn down Cheng Xiangcang, it was this Cheng Qi who was responsible for helping Cheng Wu negotiate with the secret under the arrangement, and reporting to Wuxian Ventilation, which can be regarded as a meritorious service.

"I thought he had some talent before, and his vision was much higher than that of his god-like father, and a mere pavilion chief was indeed overkill......

So, under normal circumstances, Zhao Wuxian, who would let his subordinates drive past the pavilion without stopping, instructed: "Anyway, Chengxiang is not far away, and you can get there in half an hour, so you will rest in Shanyang Pavilion for half a moment first, and ask the pavilion chief for a drink!" ”

In fact, even if Zhao Wuxian didn't want to enter the Shanyang Pavilion to see Cheng Xuan, the other party would not let him go easily. After hearing the sound of carriages and horses, the pavilion chief of Shanyang Pavilion had already carried a rope, held a simple slip, and stood in the middle of the road with the pavilion father begging for thieves, stretching out his hand to stop the comer.

It was the first time for Tian Ben to see someone dare to stop Jun's car, and he was immediately angry, and he was about to go over and beat Cheng with a strange scream, but he was stopped by Zhao Wuxian.

After seeing that Zhao Wuxian himself and his talisman were conclusive, Cheng Jian bowed down in the muddy water and said, "The villain blocked the king's car and is guilty." ”

"What sin is it that thou hast obeyed the law?"

Zhao Wuxian was very satisfied with his performance and laughed at it.

He thought to himself that in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty in later generations, there was a fine willow camp near Chang'an, and the emperor drove to inspect it, but was stopped by the camp gate officer in accordance with the "military law, you can't break into the barracks at night". Afterwards, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was very appreciative of Zhou Yafu's method of governing the army, calling him a "true general", so he entrusted him with an important task.

Now, he even has a Shanyang Pavilion Chief who has made a similar move, not only Jinyang Doctor Dong Anyu was stopped, if he strictly followed the pavilion decree he set, if he didn't bring a talisman tonight, he would also be stopped by him.

"Cheng Pavilion Chief can be described as the 'real pavilion chief' of this gentleman, if you see a noble person driving, you will regard the decree as child's play, then I will punish you heavily!"

So when he walked into the pavilion to rest, Wuxian praised Cheng Jian a few words, and secretly had the idea of promoting this person to his side if he could survive this crisis. In the future, it may be able to serve as a new right-hand man.

But he also has doubts, so he can do it. In his own forces, is the power of the Cheng family too great? To the old townsman. While Zhao Wuxian was using it, he was still spurring vigilance. This person has vision and dares to gamble on the future, but he is also a villain who sees the wind and steers, and if he is connived, it is easy to be arrogant.

"Ahh Help me! ”

He was thinking about it when he heard a scream coming from outside the pavilion.

"What's going on!" Tian Ben was sitting on the ground, eating fried corn and dry food with the water in the pot, and immediately jumped up after hearing the sound. Drew the short sword at his waist.

Cheng Jian hurriedly said: "It's the pavilion father who went to the well to fetch water and begged for thieves." ”

Zhao Wuxian was shocked, these days, his nerves were already tense, and he was ready to prevent possible mutations, who would have thought that it would be at this moment, at this moment.

He immediately commanded: "Extinguish the candles in the house!" Send someone out and see what's going on! ”

Cheng Jian did so, and then also held the copper sharpening in his hand, and Tian Ben was on the left and right, holding Zhao Wuxian. The cat walked out of the pavilion with his waist on his back.

The townsmen and light knights outside the pavilion were already on guard from all sides, and after hearing the sound, they had already gathered together under the call of Wang Sun Qi Yuxi. They formed a semicircle around the pavilion, with their blades and bows in hand. If anyone dares to come and offend, they will be killed on the spot!

But I saw that it was already half dark outside, and the night wind was gloomy. In the direction of the well, a figure was stumbling over. When they got closer, everyone took a look. It was the pavilion father who begged the thief and went with him to fetch water. But nowhere was to be seen.

The thief was already embarrassed, he covered his stomach with one hand, the red blood was flowing outward, and the other hand stretched out weakly to everyone, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Jun, pavilion chief!" There are thieves ......"

Boom!

Halfway through his sentence, the thief was hit by a rock whizzing from behind him!

……

"Hit! The fox hit! ”

Dozens of paces away from the pavilion, the bandits surrounding the leader let out a low cheer.

The lean Rong Chief Fox Infant shook the skin bag and rope in his hand with satisfaction, and in this way, he had already killed two people, which was a good start for today.

In the afternoon of this day, he gathered a group of bandits in the valley at the southern end of Luliang Mountain, and preliminarily divided the troops according to the usual mountain forces. Subsequently, under the leadership of the young Yu Rang, after several hours of trekking, he entered the territory of the Zhongxing clan, and met with the other two "robbers" in a hidden mountain pass.

Those "robbers" dressed as Rong and savages, although the clothes under the armor are old and tattered, they are actually in good order. They formed a neat phalanx, motionless as the bandits walked by, staring at them.

Where is this thief, obviously an elite soldier!

The fox baby felt a chill, he knew that this was actually the soldiers of the two families personally led by the two Fan Zhongxing clan monarchs, bound by Sima Fa, strictly trained, and roughly counted, each with a brigade of people.

Fang He's a thousand and five soldiers!

actually made such a big fight for the sake of a small township, which shows that the two gentlemen are determined to become a township, and it also shows that the Zhuqing clan in Xinjiang may be in chaos.

The fox baby thought, it's good to mess up, a little mess, so that he has a chance to restore his ancestral status in this Jin Ji Shi.

After distributing the blades and armor, Fan Shijun sent Yu Rang, a small retainer who had fought with the fox baby, to bring the next instructions of the two gentlemen.

At that time, Yu Rang squatted on the ground, drew a picture with a tree branch and said: "There is a small road around Chengxiang, Jun decided to divide the troops, each go to one side, and you are assigned to this one, Shanyang Pavilion." ”

The fox baby came to Chengxiang a few years ago, but he had never heard of the name of this place: "Shanyang Pavilion? ”

However, Zhao Shijun of Chengxiang is very cautious, and a new pavilion has been set up for each one, which is commonly known as the Lu Pavilion, but the inventory is more strict. If you want to touch it from the side, it is almost impossible, so you can only kill a few pavilion officials and pavilion guards who stayed in the pavilion on the spot. Using this as a base, I sent men up the mountain, and after nightfall joined forces with the other two teams outside the village, and then went up in one fell swoop to break through the wall, and I was still your guide. ”

"Jun is young, but he is quite familiar with this neighborhood, in fact, I came here a few years ago."

Yu Rang, who was deliberately called "Xiaojun" by the fox baby, did not have the joy of ordinary teenagers when they were praised by adults. When listening to the fox baby triumphantly talking about his "achievements" many years ago, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly and did not answer. (To be continued......)
