222 Lin Raid
Compared with the tense atmosphere when Zhu Houxi entered Beijing, he had no choice but to keep a low profile in order to ensure safety, and even almost entered Beijing in a prison car. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Princess Jiang on the way to Beijing, that is, how beautiful and beautiful it is.
Indeed, her son has become the current emperor, and she is indeed entitled to feel the incomparable excitement, and a small show off is incomprehensible to no one.
This also made it convenient for Wei Shui to find Princess Jiang's car, but while looking for the car, there was another thing that made Wei Shui have to be vigilant.
From the suburbs of Beijing all the way to the direction of Anlu, while passing through dense forests and running dirt roads, Wei Shui was still in the mood to go to the nearby villages every day to inquire about the news of Princess Jiang. While Pang Xiao was running around with him, he couldn't help but complain to Wei Shui.
"Slow down, slow down." Pang Xiao gasped and shouted behind him. Many times, he really couldn't keep up with Wei Shui's pace, and he didn't know why, Wei Shui didn't seem to be tired at all.
Listening to Pang Xiao's shout, Wei Shui didn't look back, maintained the speed of his feet, walked through the woods, but responded to him in his mouth: "If you want to die, you should be slow!" ”
Pang Xiao gritted his teeth when he heard this, and helplessly dragged his heavy steps, trying to keep up with Wei Shui's footsteps.
The reason why Wei Shui was in such a hurry was because he knew that once the situation in the court changed as he expected, several pavilion elders would definitely send someone to find him and kill him.
Behind Zhang Yang's twists and turns is Wei Shui, and many people, including Emperor Jiajing and cabinet ministers, can guess it, and even firmly think so. Maybe Zhang Yang, a scholar of political affairs, can't shake any key points, but one of his twists and turns refuted almost all the views of Yang Tinghe and others, making his arguments untenable.
At such times, not everyone is on the same page as the cabinet. Some people who have been suppressed by Yang Tinghe, or feel that they have no hope of following Yang Tinghe to be promoted, or simply pursue a step to the sky, stood on Zhang Yang's side, hoping to support the emperor in this great ceremony in exchange for more benefits.
In this way, the court is obviously divided into two factions, and the ministers are no longer monolithic, which gives Zhu Houxi a lot of opportunities to break the existing pattern.
Although this kind of opportunity is not enough to see and basically cannot grasp in front of the combination of Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Tinghe, which is more powerful than the Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng in later generations. But it made Yang Tinghe keenly feel that the situation might get out of control.
Wei Shui, a little person, kill him, it doesn't take too much effort. But after killing him, Zhu Houxi, who had no one to give advice, was tantamount to hurting an arm, which benefited Yang Tinghe and others a lot. The investment is small, the risk is low, and the benefits are large. Wei Shui didn't believe that Yang Tinghe would do such a thing.
Sure enough, when he reached an unknown mountain, Wei Shui's nervous heart felt even more uneasy. On the mountain path behind him, there seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground. It was slight, but he heard it.
"Second master, you ...... Do you hear anything? As the sound of horses' hooves seemed to get closer and closer, Pang Xiao was also a little breathless, and he asked in a trembling voice.
Wei Shui glanced behind him and scolded angrily: "These dogs, in the end, they still caught up." ”
Two legs can't run four legs, this is called the way of heaven.
As the voice behind him became louder and louder, Wei Shui's eyes rolled, stopped, pointed to the tall and straight trees next to him and asked Pang Xiao, "You, can you climb trees?" ”
There were five people in the horse team who came to pursue them, and the leader was a small officer named Peng Liang.
To be honest, Peng Liang is quite reluctant to do this kind of thing. Although the target is easy to kill, he is not easy to find!
However, it is also that Wei Shui and Pang Xiao have no anti-reconnaissance ability, and the traces left along the way are very obvious, which is for Peng Liang, every step forward, he is closer to the two target figures. The joy of receiving the reward gradually came to my heart.
"Boss, look there!" His soldiers suddenly shouted.
Peng Liangle stopped his horse and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, only to see a package discarded next to a big tree.
"Yo? it! Peng Liang touched his head and smiled, "Is this really to escape for your life and don't want anything?" Let's go, go up and have a look. ”
In front of the tree, five people dismounted and walked towards the package.
The soldier crouched down and carefully opened the package. The rest of the people's eyes turned over one after another, and saw that there were silver ingots neatly placed inside, as many as a hundred taels.
"Yo, that's really magnanimous?" Peng Liang stepped forward and bent down to get the silver ingot.
Whoosh - smack!
Whoosh - smack!
There were two soft noises in the air, and the two horses on which the crowd were riding suddenly screamed, spread their hooves, and galloped.
The owners of the two horses were stunned, and by the time they had come to their senses, the horses had already run away. And not only the two horses who were suddenly frightened, but when everyone was panicking, the remaining three horses also galloped one after another.
Chase it, you can't catch up; Don't chase it, such a long way, can you go back? Everyone was in a mess for a while.
Just when Peng Liang and the others were in a commotion, the top of the tree next to him rustled. In the hidden position of the trees, two figures were hugging two large trees, slowly crawling down along the straight and thick trunks.
Unfortunately, the rioting soldiers did not find out.
In a short time, the two figures had fallen lightly to the ground. Along the blind spot of the vision, slowly, slowly approaching the chaotic people.
"Hey, ...... you" An alert soldier had just discovered the enemy's situation when he saw a line of blood spurting from the neck of his companion opposite. In an instant, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he pointed straight at Wei Shui, who appeared behind the unlucky guy, and couldn't speak.
With a thick sneer on the corner of Wei Shui's mouth, the oxtail knife in his hand was thrown into the air, and he caught it, holding the knife in his backhand, and put on a throwing posture. Throwing the knife out suddenly, the steel knife rang out, and a white knife shadow crossed the air, only to hear a "poof", which pierced the soldier who didn't have time to speak the whole story!
The two sides did not say a word, and they already started. The soldiers originally had the advantage of numbers, but in the blink of an eye, two had already been reimbursed. Peng Liang looked at the two subordinates who fell to the ground and died, and immediately became furious. One pulled out the saber at his waist, but before he could swing the knife, Pang Xiao, who was a little slower than Wei Shui's movements behind him, rushed forward and strangled Peng Liang's neck tightly with his arm.
Peng Liang's forehead was bruised, the hand holding the knife unconsciously let go, and he grabbed Pang Xiao's arm with both hands and struggled hard.
