Chapter 14: The Poison Blade

The second watch, the third watch will be sent at 8 o'clock in the evening!

Thousands of ravines compete for the stream, thousands of cliffs compete for the show, the birds cry and no one is seen, and the flowers and trees are still fragrant!

In the fourth year of Hongwu, Guizhou Tusi Ai Cui surrendered to Cheng, and Zhu Yuanzhang appointed him as Guizhou's consolation envoy. In the fourteenth year, Ai Cui died, and his wife Xiangxiang succeeded him in charge of the Yi tribe. This is the famous lady of luxury in history.

Ma Ye, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, was tyrannical and domineering, wantonly humiliating and oppressing the Yi people, and deliberately insulting luxuriant. The toasts could not bear it and wanted to raise an army to resist. Knowing the righteousness, the extravagant fragrance asked the other leader, Liu, to run to Beijing and complain to Zhu Yuanzhang about Ma Ye's atrocities. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, Xiangxiang was summoned to Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang told her that he could get rid of Ma Ye, who was a powerful man, and asked her how to repay the court?

Xiangxiang expressed his wish to educate his children and grandchildren from generation to generation and never rebel against the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that this is an obligation that should be fulfilled and cannot be regarded as a repayment. Xiangxiang also said that there is a small road in the northeast of Guizhou leading to Sichuan, which is now blocked, and is willing to fund and organize manpower to open mountains and repair roads for post trips to repay the emperor's kindness.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very appreciative, and immediately arrested Ma Ye into Beijing and beheaded him, and then Zhu Yuanzhang said to Queen Gao: "I know that Ma Ye is loyal and has no other intestines, so why not be alone?" ”

This incident shows Zhu Yuanzhang's domineering!

After the return of luxury, he organized manpower, opened the partial bridge, the east of the water, and set up nine posts in Longchang to reach the realms of Wumeng, Wusa and Rongshan, and built a total of more than 560 miles of mountain roads and established nine post stations. Longchang Jiuyi starts from Weiqing, 40 miles west of Guiyang City, and passes through Longchang, Luguang, Guli, Shuixi, Luxiang, Jinji, Geyayi to Guihuayi. Because the first stop is to the dragon field, it is commonly known as the "dragon field nine stations".

In the Ming Dynasty, the post station of the state and county set up a post officer, who was in charge of the affairs of the post station, and was the head of a post, but this kind of official was very small, and he was the last official of the state and county. In the eyes of princes, nobles, dignitaries, and dignitaries, Yicheng was nothing more than a slave and a servant, with no personality and no status. At that time, the poor post stations in remote areas were the places where the Ming government exiled "criminal" officials.

At this time, Liang Hongyi rode a fast horse and was walking on the Longchang Post Road. However, he didn't seem to care about the scenery on the post road, and he was still recalling what Bai Xiu'er said when he left the inn at this time.

Obviously, Bai Xiuer had already deduced what Liang Hong's task was this time based on some of Liang Hong's previous words.

However, to Liang Hong's surprise, after learning the truth, the person Bai Xiu'er was worried about was not Liang Hong, she was worried that Liang Hong had really killed the Lord Qincha.

This made Liang Hong a little puzzled. That Chin Cha is a complete dog official, why can't he be killed?

"After years of war, the people of Guizhou have suffered enough. If you kill the Qincha now, the court will definitely take revenge on the people. Do you know what this Gao Peng's identity is? For the first time, Bai Xiu'er showed a look of worrying about the country and the people, which made Liang Hong's heart move, and she felt that she was not simple.

What is Gao Peng's identity? In Liang Hong's view, Gao Peng is a dog official, if he kills him himself, he can still make money with his head, why not?

"You also know that now the eight tigers in the capital are harmful, I heard that these eight eunuchs all came out of the Tai** with Emperor Zhengde, and now they are all hot, one of them, the name is Gao Feng, Gao Peng is his brother. Speaking of which, Gao Peng's ability to get this errand should also be Gao Feng's reason. So, think about what would happen if you killed Gao Peng. That Gao Feng will definitely slander and let the imperial army come to Guizhou to wantonly kill people to avenge his brother. Bai Xiu'er looked at Liang Hong with a serious expression, not like she was joking.

"How do you know this? This is also from the market? Liang Hong looked at Bai Xiu'er suspiciously.

"This is just one of them, and second, Gao Peng is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and now he has military power, which is not so easy to deal with. Why did you sail so much when you crossed the ferry yesterday? That's because Gao Peng brought with him three hundred brocade guards and soldiers, all of whom were masters, with complete armor and weapons. If you want to assassinate Gao Peng, I'm afraid that before you get close, you'll already be beaten into a sieve. Bai Xiu'er didn't answer Liang Hong's question, she just talked to herself, and she seemed to be worried about Liang Hong.

Hearing this, Liang Hongcai remembered that during the Ming Dynasty, the country had already appeared in the form of industry, and the economy and science and technology were actually very developed, and the army already had a small amount of firearms and equipment at that time, which was more typical of cannons, guns, etc., compared with modern guns and artillery, these things were naturally pediatrics, but in that era, it was absolutely the existence of the sky. And now the Jinyi Wei Fanzi in Gao Peng's hands is naturally such a group of ox fork army with advanced weapons.

This is indeed a troublesome matter for Liang Hong.

However, this did not scare Liang Hong, but aroused his interest, and he felt that this was challenging.

As for Bai Xiu'er's worries about the imperial court's retaliatory killing of civilians, Liang Hong didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to make money now, no matter what Eight Tigers and Nine Dragons he was, it had nothing to do with us, we were just a killer, and we used money to do tasks.

So Liang Hong went on the road, dressed up, still a civilian image, without any long things, except for an extra jujube red horse, on the surface, he has nothing special, let alone any weapons.

However, this is the principle that Liang Hong adheres to, the real killer, that is definitely an existence that cannot be seen in the pile. The kind of killer in a black suit and wearing sunglasses on TV is all blind and completely deceptive, if any killer really does that, he will probably be killed before he has time to kill.

Before leaving the city, Liang Hong inquired in person, and only then did he know that Gao Peng, who was sent by Qincha, had indeed gone west along the Longchang Post Road. However, he didn't go alone, but brought an army of 5,000 guards, and there were 300 brocade clothes around him to protect him, which can be said to be armed to the teeth, and it was really not easy for Liang Hong to kill him.

Liang Hong moved forward as he touched the dagger hidden in his waist, it was the Quenching Poison Blade that had been captured from Lan Feng, it was his only weapon.

"Is there a weapon that is the same, as long as I am close, it is not a matter of minutes to kill someone?" At this time, Liang Hong's mind was already thinking about how to take advantage of the dark moon and the high wind to sneak into the military camp and infiltrate the Chinese army tent little by little.

This is the first time he has seen a big scene since he crossed over, carrying out a secret assassination mission, thinking about it, he is really a little excited, this kind of thing, he did it in his previous life, I don't know what kind of situation it will be against the ancient army this time.

It stands to reason that the people of this era, whether it is military literacy or combat ability, can not be compared with the modern army, but what makes people feel terrible is that there are too many people, Nima's, once they are alarmed, they are swarming from all directions, not to mention beating, stepping on you to death, it is completely a group of chaotic people.

Forget it, don't think about these things for now, after all, what will happen when the time comes, only God knows, Liang Hong is confident that as long as he adapts to the situation, there should be no big problem. Now the thing that he is more distressed about is that he has not found the trace of Gao Peng's army, this Nima has thousands of mountains and ravines, and there is no map, just a winding post road, what should he do?

When Liang Hongzheng was distressed, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and when he looked up, a group of four fast horses were whipping and galloping wildly in the dust.

Because the post road is relatively narrow, Liang Hong rode on a horse, when the road stands, there are some signs of blocking the road, the four horsemen on horseback saw him from afar, as if they were worried that the speed of travel would be slowed down, and they shouted loudly when they didn't feel that it was far away: "Jinyi Wei is on an errand, and the idle people are waiting to give way quickly!" ”

Nima, a one-way street is a nuisance.

Liang Hong muttered, hurriedly rode his horse to stand on the slope on the side of the road, and saw the four brocade guards galloping past, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and rode his horse to follow.

Jin Yiwei, hehe, this is really a nowhere to find a place to step on the iron shoes, I am looking for you here, and you appeared on your own. Now in the whole Guizhou Province, where is there still Jinyiwei? Naturally, it is the camp of the Qin mission, these four brocade guards may be one of the three hundred brocade clothes, it is estimated that they were ordered to come out on an errand, and follow them by themselves, even if they can't find Gao Peng's army directly, they must be able to secretly hold one hostage and ask Gao Peng's specific itinerary.

With this in mind, Liang Hong's flying horse ran wildly, and soon he saw a winding river in front of him, and there was a hanging suspension bridge on the river, and there was a big stone tablet standing in front of the bridge, with three big characters "Lu Guanghe" on it.

This is a branch of the Wujiang River, adjacent to Guiyang, and is also an important water transport route in Guizhou Province.

When Liang Hongzheng was puzzled, the dust in front of him went down the river and did not cross the river.

This made Liang Hong even more puzzled, didn't these people go to Guiyang City? What are they going to do as they go down the river?

didn't know what was going on, Liang Hong's curiosity was aroused, and Shuang Dang followed directly.

Both sides of the Luguang River are high mountains, there are narrow roads on the mountains, through the bamboo and forests, some difficult to walk, but after all, there are roads, so there are still a lot of pedestrians, the most important thing is that this road comes to the end, just leading to a ferry on the Luguang River, where some goods are transferred, and some tourists go ashore, so the population is more dense.

These four Jinyi guards seem to be going to the Lu Guanghe ferry, what are they going to do there?

However, what puzzled Liang Hong again was that the four of them walked halfway and saw a dense bamboo forest on the side of the road.

Liang Hong was stunned, hurriedly dismounted, quietly hid the jujube red horse in the mountain nest, and then went around in a circle and touched the bamboo forest, which was just behind the four brocade guards, so he hid from a distance and listened to the conversation of the four people.

"Is the message accurate? Is this the way? One fanzi took a sip with a kettle, wiped his mouth and asked another fanzi.

"Hundred households rest assured, the small one received a message from the flying pigeon in the capital, saying that the guy was going to Longchang to take up the post office, and he was bound to get off the boat at the Luguang River ferry and pass by this road. Fang just received a secret report from the ferry's eyeliner, saying that the guy had gone ashore and was heading this way. A fan arched his hand.

"What do you have to say from my father-in-law?" Baihu, who drank water, asked.

"This person is young and promising, he is definitely not a thing in the pool, he will inevitably be a disaster in the future, and he can't stay, and his father-in-law will be killed strictly!" Fanzi said in a deep voice.
