Chapter 350: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, sometimes it is courage, and sometimes it is stupidity.
Yang Shouwen didn't say that he was afraid, but the overlap of two consecutive place names made him have a bad premonition.
Qili Pavilion, you can say that it is a coincidence, is it also a coincidence that Baishuitang is also a coincidence?
On top of that, their route to the south was originally a secret, but it was known in advance. Whatever the thoughts of the warning man, whether it was a warning or a prank, it meant that their whereabouts were no longer safe.
In this case, there is a great risk of continuing to cross the river from the White Pond.
What if?
No one can afford that outcome, and it is likely to be dead.
"San Lang, why are you messing around with Yang Qingzhi?"
Gao Jian learned that Li Longji was going to follow Yang Shouwen, and he was immediately anxious.
Li Longji said: "Liulang, I just think that Qingzhi is not a person who has nothing to do. If he said this, there must be his reasons. What if the White Reservoir is really unsafe? It's just a different ferry, so why should you bother too much? ”
"San Lang, this is the route set by the sage, if you don't follow it, won't you disobey the decree?"
As soon as Gao Jian's words came out, even Pei Guangting felt that it was inappropriate.
What are you doing with such a big hat? The saint also let us act at the opportunity, how did we get involved in the disobedience of the decree?
Li Longji's face became gloomy.
He glanced at Gao Jian twice, and suddenly said: "Liulang, pro-virtuous, far villain, the words of the sages, you are so self-conscious." ”
"San Lang!"
Gao Jian was a little anxious, and he opened his mouth. I want to persuade Li Longji again. But Li Longji didn't give him a chance to speak. took three retainers to Yang Shouwen's side. He said in a deep voice: "Qingzhi, let's find another ferry." ”
Yang Shouwen nodded and turned over on his horse.
However, when he left, he glanced at Yang Simiao, and saw Yang Simiao nodding lightly.
Gao Jian was a little stunned at this time.
Pei Guangting stepped forward and said softly, "Liulang." Do we still want to cross the river? ”
In fact, at this time, Gao Jian was also a little hesitant.
To put it bluntly, it's not that he doesn't know the benefits of Yang Shouwen doing this. But he knows better that if he bows his head today, he is afraid that he will not want to control this team in the future. said a thousand ways and ten thousand, he targeted Yang Shouwen just for control.
"Brother Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Lizhen smiled calmly and said in a deep voice: "Since San Lang wants to follow that Yang Qingzhi, let him be."
When you go to Huaiyin to rest, you can make it clear. In my opinion. After arriving in Huaiyin, it is best to detain Yang Shouwen. Then drive it back to the Shendu. Otherwise, it would be no good for him to be here for a day. ”
Drive Yang Shouwen back to Luoyang?
Pei Guangting and Xue Chongjian couldn't help but glance at Zhou Lizhen.
This guy is poisonous enough!
If Yang Shouwen was driven back to Luoyang, it would not be of any benefit to him. Maybe Wu Zetian will think that he is arrogant and unusable. If this is the case, I am afraid that Yang Shouwen's career will be like this, and his future will be bright.
In my heart, I couldn't help but be a little more careful about Zhou Lizhen.
Pei Min is still young, and he doesn't understand some things. But Pei Guangting understood Zhou Lizhen's thoughts.
Even if he and himself were both martial arts and thoughts, Pei Guangting couldn't help but be vigilant. This guy is a poisonous snake, very vicious. In the future, you should be more careful when interacting with him. Yang Shouwen was driven back to Luoyang, will you Gao Jian have a good result? After all, it was a character handpicked by Wu Zetian, but ...... This guy kills two birds with one stone, and he is clever!

Following the Huaishui to the east, Yang Shouwen and others traveled more than 20 miles and found a ferry port downstream.
Wang Maozhong ran to find the ferry, while Li Longji found Yang Shouwen, and said a little uneasy: "Qingzhi, do you really want to part ways?" ”
Yang Shouwen glanced at the worried Li Longji and smiled.
He said softly: "It's not that I want to part ways, but continue to stay there, it's easy to have conflicts."
The Gaoshe people have too deep prejudices against me, and they can't listen to persuasion. I didn't know what the danger would be after crossing the river, but I did know that our whereabouts were no longer kept secret. Now, I'm in the open and in the dark, and it's very dangerous. If you continue to walk together, there is likely to be trouble. After we separated from Takarokuro, we secretly followed them. In this way, we can hide and take care of if there is a real danger. ”
After speaking, Yang Shouwen gently patted the big jade on his shoulder.
Dayu let out an eagle's chirp, spread his wings and soared into the air, flying into the distance.
Looking at Da Yu's shadow, Li Longji suddenly showed a sudden look, and nodded again and again: "Qingzhi's plan is really clever." ”
At the same time, he was a little glad that he was not wrong about Yang Shouwen.
At this time, Wang Maozhong found a ferry boat and anchored at the ferry.
Everyone led the horses and got into the boat, crossed the Huaishui in two parts, and arrived at the south bank of the Huaishui.
To the south of Huaishui, it began to develop after Yiguan crossed to the south. During the reign of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, the development of the Grand Canal further boosted the population and economy of the Jianghuai River. However, as the popular saying goes, Rome was not built in a day. After the turmoil at the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the development speed of the two Huai showed a slowdown trend.
At least in Yang Shouwen's opinion, Lianghuai at this time is not even as prosperous as Youzhou seems.
Large areas of wasteland and hills constitute the main scenery of Huainan at this time. Deserted, miserable, miserable relatives...... It is also Yang Shouwen's first impression of Huainan.
Li Longji straddled the horse and pointed to the southwest, "Sixty miles down from here, it is Huaiyin." ”
Yang Shouwen couldn't hear the meaning of Li Longji's words, and said with a smile: "San Lang don't worry, I will never ignore Gao Liulang." ”
Only then did Li Longji notice that only Yang Jasmine and Lu Chengzhi were left by Yang Shouwen's side.
Yang Chou'er and Fei Fugui disappeared, but Li Longji rolled his eyes and guessed where they were.
The day began to slowly darken.
Yang Shouwen and others were interested in going upstream along the Huaishui River, and walked out for more than 20 miles. Suddenly, I heard a faint sound of chirping in the distance.
"Looks like someone is setting a fire?"
Wang Maozhong built a pergola with his hands. Raise your eyes and look.
Yang Shouwen and Li Longji also sensed the fire in the distance. After the two looked at each other, they suddenly chuckled for no reason.
"Blue ......"
"San Lang stays, Mr. Lu is here to accompany San Lang, Yang Jasmine, Wang Maozhong, follow me."
As Yang Shouwen spoke, he knocked the horse's belly with his feet, and Da Jin Xiyu let out a long neigh, and walked away with his hooves on his back. Jasmine Yang followed closely behind him. Run towards the source of the fire. Wang Maozhong was stunned, and he turned his head to look at Li Longji.
"What to see, don't go quickly, remember to follow the instructions of the levy officer."
"Whoa!"
Wang Maozhong got the order and immediately urged the horse to chase after him.
Seeing the backs of the three disappearing, Li Longji suddenly turned his head, looked at Lu Chengzhi and said, "Mr. Lu, it's going to be fine." ”
Lu Chengzhi was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Longji in surprise.
Li Longji smiled, "I've been intersecting with Qingzhi these days. Qingzhi is quick-witted, but such a meticulous plan. Not his characteristic. I saw that Mr. was following Qingzhi, and I guess what Qingzhi did today was from Mr. 's handwriting. ”
Lu Chengzhi smiled, but did not answer.
Li Longji couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked Lu Chengzhi up and down.
He found that he seemed to have underestimated Yang Shouwen. Unexpectedly, he unknowingly had such a talent around him.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dayu swooped down from the air and landed on Yang Shouwen's arm.
Fei Fugui and Yang Chou'er also came from afar, rolled the saddle in front of Yang Shouwen and fell off the horse, knelt down on one knee and said: "Gongzi is a god, sure enough, there are thieves in ambush in Baishuitang." ”
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and his tense heartstrings relaxed a lot.
This shows that the warning is true!
"How many are there?"
"About sixty people."
"What's going on over there in Gao Jian?"
"There seem to be dead and wounded, but they have stabilized their position."
Yang Shouwen nodded, motioned for Fei Fugui and Yang Chou'er to get on the horse, and then urged the horse to gallop away.
He rushed up a hill, and in the distance he heard the shouts of killing coming from the official road in the distance. Looking up, a group of people were fighting in the center of the official road. In a short time, there was a scream, accompanied by a shout.
"Young Master Yang, what should I do?"
Wang Maozhong was on the horse, pulled out a big knife with his backhand, and looked at Yang Shouwen horizontally in front of him.
Yang Shouwen narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Don't worry, Yang Siqiao hasn't sent a signal yet, and wait patiently." ”
"Yang Siqiao?"
Wang Maozhong was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Is the son talking about that eunuch?" ”
"I secretly agreed with him that he would cross the river with Gao Jian at the White Water Pond, and if something unexpected happened, he would sound a warning shot.
A sound of dysprosium indicates that it has been attacked, but it can still be supported; Two beeps, it means that the thief is powerful and cannot support it. He's already sent a chirp, and I'm waiting for him to sound a second one, and then he strikes the thief from the back. ”
"Why don't you go now?"
Yang Shouwen took off the tiger swallowing spear and glanced at Wang Maozhong, "Do you know that the thieves are not ambushed?" ”
Wang Maozhong immediately closed his mouth, he knew that his question seemed to be a little redundant. Li Longji had already instructed him to obey Yang Shouwen's dispatch. As a slave of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Maozhong knows very well what he should do.
Yang Shouwen put the gun across the saddle bridge and put his hand on the pergola to look out.
At this moment, I suddenly heard another sound of prosper in the distance.
His face changed, and he shouted: "Fugui and Yang Chou'er stay, Yang Jasmine and Wang Maozhong, follow me to attack." ”
As he spoke, he urged his horse to rush down the hillside and run straight to the official road.
Yang Shouwen sat upright on his horse, took the slingshot from his waist, and then took out a few iron pellets from his shoulder pocket.
Fill the iron pellet in the bow bag, and then slam the gold belly again. The sound of iron hooves echoed in the sky, and Daikin suddenly accelerated as he ran. From the hill to the official road, the distance is only one mile to the left. Daikin swept through the ground like a bolt of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it was behind the other party. I saw Gao Jian and others besieged in the center of the official road, and Yang Siqiao was holding a sword and shuttling through the crowd. In his hand is a soft sword, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, the tricks are extremely vicious, and the killing method is also extremely fierce. Dressed in a white robe, it was even redded with blood......
On the edge of the official road, there are more than a dozen masked horsemen watching the battle.
Suddenly hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, the masked knight immediately became vigilant and turned to look behind him.
I saw a fast horse galloping towards him, but before he could react, a cold light flew and hit a knight's forehead. The iron pill directly hit the knight's head and bleed, and he fell from the horse's back to the ground.
"There is a buried ......"
The masked rider shouted, and he turned his horse to meet him.
said that it was too late, it was too late, and Yang Shouwen had already arrived in front of him.
A big spear in his hand poked out.
The big gun was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning.
Before the knight could raise his weapon, he heard a pop, and the spear had pierced his chest.
Yang Shouwen flicked his wrist on the horse and threw the knight's body out.
"The people of Yang Temple are panicking, I'm here."
He shouted loudly, and had already rushed through the gap between the dozen or so masked horsemen and entered the battlefield. Da Jin Xi Yu hissed for a long time, like a tiger descending from the mountain. After Yang Shouwen rushed into the battlefield, the big gun flew over, conjuring up one after another, a trace of gunshots. A terrible scream sounded, and where Yang Shouwen rode over, there was no one in front of the horse, leaving only six or seven corpses behind him.
Yang Simiao's spirit couldn't help but perk, and he shouted loudly: "Gongzi is a god, there is indeed an ambush." ”
"Yang Temple people, protect Rokuro."
"Childe, don't worry, Pei Min and Xue Erlang are protecting them."
"It's Yang Shouwen!"
The dozen or so masked knights also reacted at this time, raised their weapons one by one, and shouted: "Those who kill Yang Qing will be rewarded with 100 gold." (To be continued.) )
