Chapter 17: Jinling, I'm Here (Part II)

In front of him was the Beiping City Gate, Qi Jing was riding on a horse, looking at the soldiers who saluted himself and others, and his heart suddenly swelled with infinite emotion.

No one is a fool, and these people are actually going to be hostages, in order to appease the group of fools in the court. But not everyone in the court is stupid, and if there is a smart person, they will all be doomed.

But Qi Jing was not worried, because he knew that Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaochi would come back safe and sound, and Zhu Di would win the war.

Qi Jing's only scruple is himself, will his appearance disrupt the original historical order? History only said that Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaochi were safe and sound, but kept silent about those entourage, so will his entourage die?

Thinking of this, Qi Jing sneered, whether he will die or not, I have the final say.

When he came back to his senses, he found that half of his body had stepped out of Beiping, and when he looked back at the city gate of Beiping, Qi Jing turned around and shouted in his heart.

"Jinling, I'm here!"

The convoy moved slowly, but Zhu Gaoxu felt that something was wrong.

Zhu Gaoxu slowly approached Qi Jing and said, "Sir, aren't we going to Hejian Mansion?" It's not in this direction either! ”

Qi Jing nodded, this Zhu Gaoxu was really a seedling of a military genius, and soon after leaving Beiping, he found that the team was going in a different direction.

"We took a different route and could go faster and farther." Qi Jing smiled strangely and said, "Gao Xu, soldier, treacherous." Blind bravery is useless. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded when he heard this, "Sir, are you saying that there will be ambushes on the original route?" ”

Qi Jing shook his head, "There will be no ambushes, and the imperial court doesn't have the courage to do so." ”

"Then why don't you go?"

"Because we can't operate under the watchful eye of the enemy." Zhu Gaochi said softly.

Qi Jing glanced at Zhu Gaochi, the current Zhu Gaochi is not the same as in history, although he is still good-tempered, but he seems to be much tougher.

Zhu Gaoji also felt that he was different now, perhaps on Chinese New Year's Eve, he saw his father's exhaustion, his mother's helplessness, and more importantly, he saw his younger brother's childishness. Zhu Gaochu has been sticking to himself recently, making Zhu Gaochi seem to have returned to when Zhu Gaochu was still in infancy, holding him and staggering, telling his mother that he would definitely protect his younger brother. All this made Zhu Gaochi, who was only 20 years old, feel a heavy responsibility.

I am the son of the world, a son, and an elder brother, and I have the responsibility to make the life of the people around me better.

After Qi Jing beat Gao Xu, what he said to Gao Xu, after Gao Xu told him, Zhu Gaochi felt that these words should be said to himself.

So Zhu Gaochi gave up riding in a carriage today and chose to ride a horse, although he was unwell, he had to persevere, and for the sake of this crumbling home, he had to persevere.

"What the prince said is right, although Gao Xu, you are good at the military, but these things are also needed by the military, and you must learn them with an open mind!"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he straightened his clothes, hugged his fists and said, "Follow Mr.'s teachings!" ”

Qi Jing heard the words and felt a feeling in his heart, just one word, cool! It's good to have a good student!

The original route was from Beiping, passing through Hejian Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, Fengyang Mansion and then to Jingshi. Looking at the map, you can see that this road is very detouring, and Yan Wangfu said that he would go to Kaifeng to see Zhu Hu's fiefdom.

Now the route is much shorter, Tianjin Wei, Jinan Mansion, then Xuzhou and finally through Yangzhou Mansion to Jingshi. This road was chosen by Qijing thousands of people. Why do you say it's a thousand choices? Qi Jing had his own considerations, due to the underdevelopment of transportation in this era, the army of the imperial court basically never moved except for the border, but just nested in the barracks. The spies were also limited to the city. Therefore, some mountains and rivers are limited to the description in the book.

And those books, how many years ago, the big terrain will not change, and the small terrain may not change.

Zhu Gaochi was only half right just now, this section of the journey from Beiping to Tianjin Wei, Qi Jing really didn't want people to monitor, but for the rest of the journey, Qi Jing needed the monitoring of the imperial court, he needed Zhengda Guangming, only Zhengda Guangming, not afraid of cold arrows.

After Qi Jing and the others left Beiping, Zhu Di would report to the imperial court, saying that the original road was too far, so he had to change the route. And when the court receives the news, it will definitely rush to pull the spies from the original route to this route.

The spies, who were already unfamiliar with the terrain, were notified to rush to other places thousands of miles away before they could react, and it was difficult to see that there was something wrong with themselves and others just because of their mental state.

And those spies will definitely ignore some minor problems with themselves and others in order to reduce trouble.

This is all Qi Jing's plan, when Qi Jing said this plan in front of Zhu Di and Dao Yan, both of them were silent, this plan can be said to be seamless, but it is very simple to break this plan. As long as the spies are dedicated, this plan will be broken.

But fortunately, these spies are all the original Jinyi guards, and the Jinyi guards are disbanded, and they have nowhere to go, so they can only be spies of the imperial court. But now it is not as beautiful as a brocade guard, and his enthusiasm has greatly decreased. Those who are highly motivated and dedicated, were also brought to Beijing by the imperial court and raised. This is not to blame the imperial court, the Chinese have had this habit since ancient times, and good things must be kept for themselves.

So the last obstacle to this plan has also been removed, and now it is enough to pinch the reaction time of the imperial court and arrive at Tianjin Wei on time.

Qi Jing didn't plan to tell Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochi the truth, now tell Ping to make trouble, and wait until he returns to Beiping safely.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the small village that suddenly appeared in front of him, and was very surprised, when did this village come out?! Not on the map, I asked the soldiers around me, and I didn't hear about it. It's only half a day's distance from Beiping, how can you not know?!

Looking at these farm tools and ploughing fields, they don't look like they suddenly appeared, is this a ghost village?!

The village chief, an old man over half a hundred years old, came to the front of the convoy with the support of the young people in the village.

Qi Jing turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said, "Inspect Qi Jing in Xiabeiping, escort the two princes and the county king to Jingshi, it's getting late, I want to rest here, I hope the old man will take him in!" ”

The village chief smiled in return, "It's an honor for the village, please do it!" ”

"No, no, no, the convoy will stay outside the village, and the old man will find a place to rest in the village for the two princes, the county king and the female dependents."

"Okay, a few nobles, please come with me!"

Zhang Fu knocked on the carriage in Baihualou and said, "Let's get off, the convoy is going to rest!" ”

Fuliu helped Qin Wanxi, who had been silent all the way, to get out of the carriage, and Qi Jing, who was not far away, subconsciously looked over and turned his head.

Guo Shun shouted, "Set up camp and rest!" ”

"Please lead the way!" Qi Jing clenched his fists and said.

With the noise of the convoy camping, everyone followed the village chief towards the village, and Qin Wanxi looked at the back of Qi Jing in front of him. Brand new armor, extraordinary waist knife, belt given by the prince, and that mysterious jade pendant, what kind of person is this.

Fortunately, the room was fairly clean. Fu Liu inspected for a while, and was about to turn back to speak, but found that there was no one else at the door except Zhang Fu.

Fu Liu picked up the wooden basin in the room and wanted to fetch a basin of water, but as soon as he stepped out of the door with his left foot, he was stopped by Zhang Fu.

The willow eyebrows were raised, and he was about to spill, but he found that the expression on Zhang Fu's face was very serious, "The captain has an order, the two of you are not allowed to step out of the door, and someone will come to serve you in a while!" ”

"You!"

"Willow, come back!"

Qin Wanxi called back to Fu Liu, who was about to be furious, Fu Liu closed the door angrily, and sat down next to Qin Wanxi angrily.

"There's no need to be angry, this village is not simple, it's good if we can have a room to live in, or don't walk around, otherwise we don't know how to die."

Fu Liu was shocked when she heard this, "No······"

"He's not a good guy······" Qin Wanxi whispered a word and stopped talking.

Fuliu glanced at her own young lady, and it became more and more strange.

————————

With Zhu Gaoxu's IQ, it was difficult for him to understand the scene that happened in front of him at the village chief's house, how could he become a person from the palace when he was more than half a hundred years old?

Zhu Gaochi looked at the village chief who was kneeling in front of Qi Jing and talking eloquently to make a report, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Qi Jing in surprise.

Qi Jing helped the village chief up, "Uncle Wang, you're doing a good job!" Let's go, show me the people! ”

Uncle Wang nodded yes, took Qi Jing and the three of them into the inner hall.

"Only eyes, not mouths!" Qi Jing said softly to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the empty inner hall, there was nothing but a Buddha statue and a bed! And this Buddha statue doesn't want to be a secret door, because there is no mechanism to open, and even the incense burner is brought to the table by the old man himself. If the bed had a mechanism, why did the old man come to the Buddha statue? Fighting cattle across the mountains?

Uncle Wang put the incense burner on the table, took three incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them heavily on the incense burner.

Hearing the sound of chains and rubbing, the bed's slats suddenly sank down, revealing a hole two people in size.

"Let's go!" Qi Jing shook his neck and said.
