Chapter 660 Mitsubishi Ferry

Tang Miao was extremely smart, and he was also a little stunned at this time, the soldier did not answer, but ordered, "Brothers, kill the horses!" ”

Under an order, those surviving soldiers did not hesitate to swing their knives and slash at the necks of the war horses, and in an instant, more than a dozen war horses fell to the ground one after another, and outside the entire Dongda Battalion, only the horses beside Tang Miao were still safe and sound. At this time, Tang Miao understood that these soldiers had to make the last resistance, giving him a chance to escape for someone Tang. Tang Miao only saved people in his life, never let people save him, he didn't want to owe favors, whether he was arrogant or withdrawn, but at this time, Tang Miao's eyes were a little moist, he gritted his teeth, and immediately got on the war horse, he had to get out alive, and he couldn't let these brothers die in vain.

"General Tang leave quickly, please tell my family General Yang, the brothers did not disappoint him!"

One qiē only originated from Yang Zaixing's words, so these Ruifeng battalion soldiers wanted to keep Tang Miao alive.

On this day, the outside of Xianyang City is still very lively, half of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion came here, and the Jingshi University Hall was also closed yesterday, and the students hugged each other. The Guanzhong Grand Canal crosses Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road, and leads to the mouth of the Yellow River in Xixia to the north.

Before the hour, the sky was bright, and after the rain, there were crowds of people outside Xianyang City, and the music was played, and countless people sang and danced. These people who were buried in joy didn't know what happened to the Remnant Wind Slope last night, and the Xianyang County Ya and Zhao Yougong would not be stupid enough to spread the news. When approaching, Zhao Yougong, who was dressed in full costume, accompanied by a group of people, came to the edge of the canal, and at this time there was a huge copper bull on the south bank of the canal. Follow the rules. The boat is preceded by pushing the copper ox into the river. to play the role of a town river. It is said that the bronze ox is a gift for sacrificing to the Water Dragon King, and Zhao Yougong doesn't pay much attention to these things, but since there is this custom in the pass, it is better to abide by it. Zhang Yi took a wooden stick tied with red silk and handed it to Zhao Yougong, His Royal Highness Zhao knocked twice on the head of the cow according to Zhang Yi's instructions, and then went around behind the head of the cow and raised his hand to pat it three times. After doing this, I heard Zhang Yi shout with a serious chest, "The auspicious time has come, release the copper ox, open the canal, and be happy!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers worked together, plopped, and the bronze bull slid into the canal, looking at the crowd with laughter on their faces, Zhao Yougong always had a faint uneasiness in his heart. For some reason, Tang Miao and Yang Zaixing have not returned. Although Song Yun had just come to report back, Song didn't know too much, but he only knew that Tang Miao and Yang Zaixing led the guards out of Xianyang City. How many secrets are hidden in the Remnant Wind Slope mystery case?

When the auspicious time came, Zhao Yougong took Zhu Lian's hand and walked down the stone steps, and at this time there was a tall and magnificent painting boat docked in the wide canal, which was Zhao Yougong's building boat on the canal this time. Zhu Lian got on the boat, but Zhao Yougong turned around and whispered a few words to Xiao Zhiyun, only to see Princess Xiao frowning, so she nodded with a smile, she was supposed to get on the boat with Zhu Lian, but she temporarily returned to the shore. It just so happened that at this time, Zhu Niangzi smiled sweetly at Princess Xiao, and Princess Xiao frowned and turned her face to the side to look at the scenery. Many people thought that the two princesses of the Qin Mansion had lost their temper again, but in fact this was not the case.

With Zhang Yi's order, the boat leading the way in front of him started, and the Nuoda building boat also slowly sailed on the surface of the canal. The boat drove slowly, and many people happily followed along the riverbank, but Xiao Zhiyun frowned at this time, Xiao Yue didn't know what was going on, and walked up and asked in a low voice, "Princess, what's the matter, why didn't you get on the boat with Your Highness?" ”

Xiao Yue doesn't think that the princess and the princess have a conflict like others, these two women are not the kind of superficial people, even if they have opinions, they will not express themselves. Xiao Zhiyun clenched her fists, her eyes slowly narrowed, "Brother, send someone to investigate, Yang Shaolie and Tang Miao left Xianyang when they were ugly, and there is no news back so far, I'm afraid something happened." ”

"What?" Xiao Yue was taken aback, he only came from Chang'an at midnight today, so he didn't know what happened at night, Tang Miao and Yang Zaixing both had the responsibility of protecting His Highness's safety, but it was not unusual for these two to disappear at the same time. Knowing that the matter was serious, Xiao Yue did not hesitate too much, arched his hand, and quietly retreated.

The boat was driving on the water, and Zhao Yougong accompanied some officials to talk and laugh, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the sadness between his eyebrows. Zhu Lian tiptoed and wiped his sweat for Zhao Yougong with a champa, "Official, don't worry too much, General Tang and Yang Shaolie are both wise and changeable people, so there shouldn't be much danger." ”

"Hey, it's hard to say, if someone plans the Remnant Wind Slope mystery case, it will be impossible for us to find out lightly, Shao Lie and Tang Miao are going here, I'm afraid they will be offended, I hope we can find them as much as possible!"

The turbid canal water is like yellow sand surging, the boat is slow, passing through the top of the mountains on both sides, the Guanzhong Grand Canal is deeper than the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and it is dangerous, because it leads to the water of the Yellow River, we must always be on guard against the flood of the Yellow River, how severe the consequences of the flood are, as a descendant, it is very clear. Because he is well aware of the danger of flooding, Zhao Yougong can let people dig the canal deeper, so that the river must be dug in a hard place, and then use stone cement to build a dam. This is completely different from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which does not need to study the geology too much, as long as it is dug through and the embankment can be built, because the level of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is very slow, and it is rarely at risk of bursting the embankment. Further on is the Mitsubishi Ferry, and after the Mitsubishi Ferry is Yunyang County, Yaozhou.

The Grand Canal was put into use, and the people of Guanzhong rejoiced, but in this laughter, Yang Zaixing was desperately beating his horse and galloping. Although he escaped from Dongdaying, Yang Zaixing did not dare to rush back to Xianyang City directly, he knew very well in his heart that since the people who listened to the Yuge Pavilion could make an ambush in Dongdaying in advance, there was no reason not to cut off the way back to Xianyang City from Dongdaying. Yang Zaixing was right, he ran west for a while and immediately turned south, but even so, he was chased by a few men in black, fighting all the way, Yang Zaixing picked off a few chasing murderers, and he was also cut by the blood hook knife. The wound on his shoulder was bleeding nonstop, Yang Zaixing just bandaged it hastily, and continued to run south, he had to arrive at Nanda Camp one step earlier. If there is a problem with the people of the East Daying. That must have been for His Highness. At this time, there were only more than 100 soldiers of the Ruifeng Battalion who guarded His Highness. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize rescue troops to rush to the canal, and the closest to the Grand Canal is Nan Daying.

Along the way, Yang Zaixing has been thinking about a question, that is, why did Tingyu Pavilion think that more than 200 people could besiege and kill His Highness, although the number of Ruifeng Battalion is not superior, but the combat effectiveness should definitely not be underestimated. Since I heard that Yuge planned this conspiracy, there must be other killing moves, quickly. You have to be fast, you have to catch up with His Highness before listening to Yuge's move.

Running all the way, he finally came to the outside of the Nanda camp, seeing a man and a horse galloping wildly, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately blew a whistle, and more than a dozen people rushed forward to block the camp gate. Yang Zaixing stopped the war horse and shouted urgently, "Yang Zaixing, the general of the Qin Palace, quickly call the person in charge of the camp to come out!" ”

The matter is urgent. Yang Zaixing didn't bother to leave the occasion, although those soldiers felt that the person on the horse didn't seem to be a fake. But they didn't recognize Yang Zaixing, so they made a look, and ran into the camp alone, and soon after, a black armor general ran out in a panic. But there is no veteran of the Dingguo Army who does not know Yang Zaixing, and Ye Hongchen, the head of the Southern Daying, is also a veteran who has followed Niu Gao for many years, of course he knows Yang Zaixing, so he hurriedly bowed, "General Yang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's too late to say more, you quickly gather your brothers and go to the canal ferry with Ben, I am afraid that there will be traitors who want to murder His Highness!" Yang Zaixing was anxious, but it was a little difficult for Ye Hongchen, he hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand, "General Yang, dare to ask if there is an order from His Royal Highness, or an edict from the Ministry of War?" ”

"What are you talking about, Ben has just escaped from the East Battalion, and he is in a hurry, how can he have time to ask for an order. You don't say much, hurry up and go to the ferry with Ben, if something happens, Ben will take care of you. Hmph, if something really happens to His Highness, who can afford it? When the time comes, don't talk about the princess, even General Niu will chop you into meat puree! ”

Yang Zaixing's words were soft and hard, and Ye Hongchen had to think about it carefully, as if what General Yang said was not unreasonable, Niu Dashuai and His Royal Highness are brothers, if he really watched His Highness have an accident, General Niu would give up? In the end, Ye Hongchen still decided to fight, and then hurried back to the camp, "Assemble, assemble"

The sharp whistle sounded in the barracks, more than two hundred soldiers quickly assembled, Yang Zaixing did not say much, led the people to the northeast, must arrive at the Mitsubishi Ferry before His Royal Highness, the closest to Xianyang is the Mitsubishi Ferry, so Listening to the Yuge is most likely to choose to do it at the Mitsubishi Ferry. Yang Zaixing rushed to Mitsubishi Ferry, Xiao Yue also led people to the Beida Camp, after inquiring, Tang Miao and Yang Zaixing really came to the North Daying, Xiao Yue immediately felt that something was wrong, so he took out the Qin Wangfu Command that Xiao Zhiyun secretly handed him, and mobilized the soldiers and horses of the North Camp to rush to the East Camp, but unfortunately outside the East Camp, except for the corpses of more than a dozen Ruifeng Battalion soldiers, the entire East Camp was empty. After seeing these corpses, you can imagine how tragic the fight was here before, Xiao Yue frowned, and thought about it seriously, Tang Miao and Yang Zaixing must have found something wrong that night, so they inspected the Beida Camp, and came to the East Camp after finding that there was no problem in the North Camp, so they were ambushed in the East Camp.

East Daying? Hey, isn't Dongdaying responsible for building the boat to guide the way and Gong Wei painting the boat? It's not good, Xiao Yue's face changed greatly, and at this time, he didn't care about looking for Tang Miao and Yang Zaixing, so he immediately ordered, "Quick, hurry to Mitsubishi Ferry, Mu Ali, quickly return to Xianyang to inform the princess, and let her transfer troops to help Xianyang!" ”

After saying this, Xiao Yue led a group of people to rush towards Mitsubishi Ferry, he and Yang Zaixing thought almost exactly the same, if the other party wanted to choose to start, he would definitely choose to do it at Mitsubishi Ferry. Mitsubishi Ferry, sandwiched between Xianyang and Yunyang, is flanked by canyon cliffs, it took a lot of effort to open up the canyon at the beginning, I heard that when the canyon was opened, Yang Bangyi even invited General Ling Zhen's artillery to go, where it tossed for more than ten days to open the river. The south side of the Mitsubishi ferry is steep on both sides, and the waterway is relatively narrow, so if the other party really wants to do it here, His Highness will be in danger.

Xiao Yue waved the horsewhip, eager to grow a pair of wings to fly into the sky, he was very anxious, close to noon, he saw a burst of smoke and dust in the southwest direction, obviously a cavalry was galloping, Xiao Yue could only stop the horse, as if facing a great enemy, let hundreds of soldiers prepare for battle. When the people came to get together, Xiao Yue couldn't help but sigh with laughter, it turned out that Yang Shaolie had arrived. Look at Yang Shaolie's lips are pale. The appearance of the shoulder wrap. It is estimated that the loss is not small. Yang Zaixing obviously didn't expect to run into Xiao Yue, and immediately arched his hand, "General Xiao, I heard that Yuge laid out a conspiracy, I'm afraid that I will do something to His Highness at Mitsubishi Ferry, and I have to hurry over." ”

"Hmm" Xiao Yue nodded, and the two joined forces, quickly thinking about Mitsubishi Ferry. Noon. The boat finally entered the canyon waterway, and when it entered the canyon waterway, it was obvious that the drinking channel had picked a lot, and the stone walls on both sides were very steep, straight like a line of water surface. I don't know why, since entering this canyon waterway, Zhao Yougong's uneasiness in his heart has become more intense, Zhu Lian also squinted, observing the situation of the cliff, in short, this canyon waterway makes people feel a kind of depression and drowsiness. Zhao Yougong stood on the deck. The cool wind blew on his cheeks, and he didn't observe the scene on both sides like Zhu Lian. He kept staring at the guide boat in front of him, and he always felt that the soldiers on the boat were a little strange, just take the standing posture, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army often had their legs together and their backs straight. At first, they thought it was because they were driving on the water, and some of them were not used to it, but gradually they found that something was wrong, and they changed two groups of people in a row to guard the side of the boat, as if they were all like that. The situation was not right, but Zhao Yougong's expression did not move, and he secretly beckoned to Yue Laosan and whispered a few words to this good man.

Yue Laosan's pair of mung bean eyes rolled around, flicked his big sleeves and entered the cabin, and after a while, the boat stopped, and then remembered Yue Laosan's unique scolding voice, "His grandmother is a bear, what about Lao Tzu's iron box, who took it?" Didn't Lao Tzu let you look at it, why didn't it go, who stole it? Stop, if you don't find out the iron box today, no one will want to dock. ”

Yue Laosan opened his mouth and closed his mouth about the iron box, but in fact he had a fart iron box, Yue Laosan never wore any gold and silver, why did he want an iron box? However, the soldiers were very cooperative and stopped what they were doing, and got off the boat to look for the boatman, saying that if a boatman had entered the cabin, it must have been some boatman who had taken the iron box away. There was chaos on the boat, Yue Laosan scolded and scolded people to find trouble with the boatman, and now the Zilou boat stopped completely.

Zhu Niangzi showed her eyebrows, covered her face in her sleeve robe, and giggled, officials are really good at finding people, and on this boat, it is estimated that Yue Laosan is the most suitable to pretend to be crazy and stupid. As soon as the boat stopped, the boat in front of it also stopped, and a person who looked like a man frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter, why did the boat stop?" ”

"It seems that Yue Laosan has lost something and is looking for trouble with the boatman, it doesn't look like a fake, let's wait!" The person who spoke was a white-faced and beardless man, and his eyes were particularly bright, and he looked like a smart person. The man seemed to listen to this man's words, nodded slightly, and watched patiently. They waited patiently, but they didn't know that at this time, a sneer had already appeared on the corner of Zhao Yougong's mouth.

Hmph, there is really a problem, if it is really the soldiers of the Dingguo Army in front, they will definitely disperse immediately, at least they will form a defensive formation to protect the building boat, but these people are good, just asked, and watched from the sidelines. Zhao Yougong's heart slowly surged with a killing intent, these are all people from the East Battalion, if these people are fake, then where did the real East Camp soldiers go? Actually, it's good to think about it, the more than 200 corpses that appeared on the remnant wind slope are not exactly right? In this way, it can also explain why Yang Zaixing and Tang Miao have disappeared so far, I am afraid that they were intercepted and killed.

It's really bold, he dares to play these tricks with him Zhao someone, hum, no matter who these people are, they dare to be so heavy-handed against the Dingguo army, and they will never be spared. Now, what Zhao Yougong has to do is to drag it until the reinforcements arrive, presumably Xiao Yue should lead the troops at this time, as long as Xiao Yue arrives at Mitsubishi Ferry, these people will not be afraid. Zhao Yougong didn't want these people to see the flaws, although he was not afraid, but there were still many civil servants and officials on the ship, these people didn't know martial arts, and once the conflict broke out, they would suffer.

Zhao Yougong was waiting, and the people in front were also waiting, and when the sound of horses' hooves sounded at Mitsubishi Ferry, these fake soldiers of the East Battalion didn't notice it at all. To the south of Mitsubishi Ferry is a dense peach forest, at this time a man in black leans against the peach tree, and the green peaches are shaking in front of him, just like the heart of the man in black, not at all. Until now, the Mitsubishi ferry has not sounded the sound it should have, is there something wrong?

Stepping on the ground, the two black-clothed men hurriedly arrived, and immediately arched their hands, "Pavilion Master, it's not good, Xiao Yue and Yang Zaixing led hundreds of soldiers and horses towards the Mitsubishi Ferry, and now they are only ten miles away from the ferry. ”

"What?" The black-robed people were taken aback, and there was a hint of panic in their hoarse voices, if they waited until Xiao Yue's soldiers and horses arrived, it would not be a question of whether to kill Zhao Yougong or not, once those soldiers and horses who led the way were captured alive, the consequences would be unimaginable. The black-robed man hesitated, he was thinking about how to deal with the next thing, and after a long time, he ordered, "Order the medicine twist!" ”

"Huh? Pavilion master, this white hall master, is still leading people to light the medicine twist in the canyon waterway at this time" The two hesitated slightly, and the black-robed man snorted coldly, "Isn't the words of this seat clear enough?" Ignite the twist and go now"

"Yes" The two didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly ran out of the peach forest, when the two left, the black-robed man looked up to the sky and sighed, planning such a plan, but in the end he still failed to trap Zhao Yougong. Is he destined to lose to Zhao Yougong in this life? No, no, no matter what, he must win once, he can't fail. The black-robed man was dripping blood in his heart, if he could, he would never order the medicine twist to be ignited, who would want to kill his own people?

Canyon waterway, Zhao Yougong smiled and watched Yue Laosan play treasure, Zhang Yi was also serious on the side as a peacemaker, looking very lively, but at this lively time, a roar sounded from the ears, and then the earth shook the mountain, at this time it was like an earthquake, and even the turbid river water was half a zhang high. Although the boat was big, it still shook violently, Yue Laosan stood on the deck, one was not careful, and hit the plank directly, making him scold, "His grandmother"

Yue Laosan couldn't scold half of his words, because he saw that the stone wall not far in front of him had collapsed, and countless boulders rolled down and smashed into the canyon waterway.

Zhao Yougong took good care of Zhu Lian, waiting for the hull to calm down a little, before he had the heart to look ahead, at this time, his eyes were cloudy, and no one knew what he was thinking. Another explosion, how much gunpowder is needed for such a violent explosion? Such a large amount of gunpowder, I am afraid that only the Dingguo Army can provide it, and this time, plus the last time I left Shaomu Mountain, it has already experienced such a violent explosion twice. Zhao Yougong knew very well in his heart that if he hadn't seen the clue in advance, I am afraid that he would be the one who was killed by the boulder now. Now that the other party ignited the medicine twist in advance, I'm afraid it's going to kill people, hehe, it's really ruthless and smart enough, as long as these people in front of him die, a qiē secret will die with it.

Zhao Yougong has always been very clear that there is a traitor in the Dingguo Army, and the status of this traitor is not low, if the status is low, how can he get so much gunpowder? This can also explain why the soldiers of the East Battalion appeared silently on the Remnant Wind Slope, I am afraid that the traitor used his identity to gain the trust of the soldiers of the East Battalion, and suddenly attacked and killed those soldiers.

When the boulders were not falling on the cliff, Zhao Yougong immediately ordered, "Send people to see if there is any living mouth ahead, if so, try your best to save it!" ”

Zhao Yougong hoped to find a living mouth, although this hope was very slim, as a result, he was disappointed, no one was left alive, many people were either stoned to death or drowned, and none of them survived. Zhao Yougong smiled bitterly, feeling that he still thought too much, how could the other party allow him to leave such a strict plan? These people didn't survive, which means that if he Zhao is in a certain position, there is only a dead end.

Xiao Yue and Yang Zaixing hurried to Mitsubishi Ferry, and what they saw was a mess, but after learning that the boat was fine, the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued......) R1292
