Chapter Thirty-Nine: Run, Xing Yuan
Xing Yuan returned to the inner courtyard, and the maid found by Zhu Yihai followed him step by step. "Top Novel, www. Zhu Yuyuan is still asleep at this time because she has taken medicine before.
"Make the bed, Her Royal Highness will sleep peacefully!" Xing Yuan pointed to the somewhat messy bed, which had just left under the sudden change, and had not had time to straighten out the bedding and clothes he carried.
The two maids bowed down and walked to the bedside to begin tidying up. Xing Yuan took two steps back, and put Zhu Yujiao on the soft couch beside him, but he copied a candlestick on the table in his hand.
Taking advantage of the fact that the maid was not guarded, Xing Yuan raised the candlestick with both hands and slammed it out, knocking the two maids to the ground one after another.
Seeing the two maids fall to the ground softly, Xing Yuan only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest with nervousness, and his legs did not obey the call at all, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Xing Yuan tried hard to warn himself that at this time, he must not fall. Forced himself up, found straw rope and cloth, took off the clothes on one of the maids, and tied both of them to the foot of the bed.
A maid woke up slowly, the pain made her cry uncontrollably, Xing Yuan hurriedly jumped up, found two cotton towels, and stuffed them into the mouths of the two, and then quickly changed into the maid's clothes, and was about to go out, but saw Zhu Yuyuan, who was still immersed in sleep on the bed, but stopped again.
Xing Yuan leaned over to the maid who had woken up and whispered: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you also know how noble Your Highness's identity is, take good care of her, and you will have rewards in the future, otherwise, it will be a great crime to exterminate the clan!" ”
The maid was terrified. Nodding his head again and again.
Xing Yuan settled down, blew out all the lights in the house, and then carefully came out of the room. There are no guards in the courtyard, and it seems that Zhu Yihai, Feng Da and others do not take her and Zhu Yuyuan to heart. There were only two guards at the entrance of the inner courtyard. The two of them just saw Xing Yuan's maid's clothes, but they didn't ask, and Xing Yuan easily mixed up.
The governance of the 100 households. It is a small courtyard with three exits and three entrances, and the front yard is where the official hall of the hundred households is located, and the east and west sides are the resting places of the general flags and small flags of the hundred households, which seems to have become the place where the prisoners are detained at this time. Xing Yuan hid in the dark and watched carefully, there were more than 20 guards around, it was really difficult to get close, so he could only dispel the idea of rescuing Shen Ke and the others.
couldn't think of any other way for a while, Xing Yuan could only find the location of the side door, and then talk about it first.
But it's in the firewood house near the side door. Xing Yuan found through the window the hundred households and six or seven subordinates of Jiushan Town who had greeted him and the others before. All of them were tied up and thrown in the firewood room. The door was shut, and in front of it was a snoring guard.
Xing Yuan plucked up his courage, picked up a small stone from the ground, and when he went down, he smashed the soldier and passed out.
didn't care about being afraid, pushed the door in, and helped Baihu and others untie the ropes on their bodies, and Baihu and others were shocked. is grateful to Xing Yuan, and they all have to be a big gift.
"Adults don't have to be like that. The rebels intend to be unfavorable to General Zhu Bing, and the most important thing at the moment is to deliver the news to General Zhu immediately! ”
Now the guards of the Lu Wangfu and the rebels of Liu Zhicun and Tong Wenhuan have occupied Jiushan Town and the port wharf, and even Fang Yuegong and other Shandong officials who came from Jinan have been accused, and Zhu Ping'an's fleet has not yet arrived, and it is impossible to go to sea. How to deliver a message. A tricky question indeed.
Everyone worked together to move the stunned soldier into the firewood room, and Baihu inadvertently glanced into the distance, but suddenly thought of an idea.
"Back to the girl, the lower official thought of an idea." Hyaknohe refers to the silhouette of the cliffs by the sea that looms in the distance. "Immediately to the east of the town of Kuyama is a mountain cliff. There is a pavilion looking at the sea above, and there is a beacon tower among them, which is used for warning when the border is in the field. Let's go up the mountain quietly from behind the mountain, and when the fleet of the handsome ships approaches the port, we will light the beacon fire to warn, which will definitely make the fleet of the handsome fleet alert and on alert in advance! ”
Baihu's idea finally made Xing Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, but she was still not very relieved, after thinking twice, she asked Baihu to take people to the beacon tower, and she still decided to take a trip to the port wharf, preparing that if Baihu and others were unsuccessful, she would find a way to report to Zhu Ping'an.
Baihu was really taken aback, although he didn't know Xing Yuan's true identity, but seeing Shen Ke's respectful appearance towards her and Zhu Yuanyuan, he knew that his identity must be noble. With such a cashback thing, how dare Xing Yuan do it alone.
But Xing Yuan had already made up his mind, and he refused to give up his ideas when he said anything. Baihu had no choice but to let one of his henchmen bring people to the beacon tower, while he took two soldiers and followed Xing Yuan to the port.
Xing Yuan was dressed in women's clothes, and his movement was always inconvenient, so Baihu ordered one of his subordinates to take off his armor, asked Xing Yuan to change into it, and put on the wide-brimmed red tasseled felt hat of the local garrison Ming Army, covering most of his face, and then took advantage of the night to touch the direction of the port.
Feng Da used about 5,000 troops in this uprising, including more than 2,000 of Tong Wenhuan's subordinates, more than 1,000 of Liu Zhicun's brothers' old troops, and 2,000 private soldiers raised by Zhu Yihailu's palace.
The area of Jiushan Town is very small, and the port is just a commercial wharf, and the draft is very shallow, so the garrison is only one hundred households, which is under the jurisdiction of Wuding Prefecture.
Five thousand men poured in in an instant, and they were all under their own systems, so the fortifications were all a mess. At present, the crown prince has not yet arrived, Zhu Yihai's identity is the most noble, and after reaching the east of Shandong, the meaning of the prince is to let Zhu Yihai mobilize a force that can be mobilized to help him take the military and political power of Shandong. After the matter was completed, the two states of Denglai were assigned to Zhu Yihai as a fief, so Zhu Yihai was naturally overjoyed and willing to be the pawn of the crown prince Zhu Cihong for driving.
However, the reality is that Zhu Yihai has the least soldiers and horses, and Liu Zhicun and Tong Wenhuan also look down on this useless vassal king, so Zhu Yihai's order. Both of them are also yang and yin.
This gave Xing Yuan a lot of opportunities. Along the way, he tiptoed and sneaked, evaded the inspection checkpoints, and arrived at the dock of Jiushan Town.
The wharf was made of large blocks of masonry mixed with cement, and although it was small in size, it was unusually sturdy, because the Hyakyosha cleared out the merchant ships and fishing boats that were docked early in the morning. Therefore, the sea outside the pier was also empty and silent.
There was a gloom on the face of the hundred households, the draft of the wharf in Jiushan Town was not deep, and most of the ships of the Denglai Navy Division could not get close to the shore. After Zhu Ping'an arrived, he could only go ashore with the help of small boats, and the sea area in this section was narrow, so it was decided that it was impossible to provide protection with a sufficient number of soldiers and horses.
But there is no better way at present, and we can only hope that the beacon fire will be ignited in time. Zhu Ping'an and others were able to discover it early and cancel the plan to land and go ashore.
The summer sunrise came early, and when the first rays of sunlight jumped out of the sea and shone on Jiushan Town, the outline of the stars appeared on the occasion of the sea and the sky, Xing Yuan's heart suddenly pinched, she knew that this was Zhu Ping'an's fleet coming as scheduled.
Little by little, the flotilla approached. Slowly enclosing the sea area towards the dock of Kuyama Town, when the flagship with the handsome flag appeared in view. Xing Yuan and Baihu couldn't wait to cast their eyes in the direction of the beacon tower in the north.
Time passed little by little, and just as the small ships loaded with a large number of people began to move towards the shore, the flames and smoke on the beacon finally appeared in time.
A huge pillar of black smoke meandered into the sky, and the force was very dazzling in this fine weather.
Xing Yuan and Baihu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone sat down on the sand between the hidden reefs.
But a moment later. Baihu was the first to change his face. "That's not right!"
Although the smoke billowed up into the clear sky, the fleet in the distance seemed to ignore this, or could not understand the meaning of the shore, and dozens of small boats still rowed to the shore without hindrance. It can even be seen. The formation of the fleet was still loose and sloppy, and there was no hint of guarding.
This situation made Xing Yuan, Baihu and others suddenly fall into a tense state again. Seeing the boats rowing to the dock on the shore in the wind and waves, it can be clearly seen that one of them clearly landed with a handsome flag, and it was obvious that Zhu Ping'an personally wanted to land at the first time.
Xing Yuan suddenly had no idea, and only one voice was left in his heart and mind shouting, "I must not let him have an accident, I must not be!" ”
Xing Yuan bit his lip tightly, took off the armor on his body with his backhand, and then took off the red robe of the Ming Army on his body.
Baihu was startled, and the two soldiers hurriedly turned their heads, "Girl, ...... are you?" ”
Xing Yuan didn't speak, and after taking off his battle robe, he revealed a plain white dress on his body, and jumped out of the middle of the reef holding the battle robe with one hand.
The sharp gravel pierced the thin cloth boots, but Xing Yuan was unaware, the felt hat on her head fell off at some point, and a green silk fluttered in the wind with the ups and downs of her running, making Baihu and the others dumbfounded for a while.
"My lord, ...... of us?" A soldier asked blankly.
Baihu hurriedly looked around in the distance, and it was already vaguely visible hiding in the reef beach, quietly outflanking the ambush soldiers who had passed to the shore.
One hundred households suddenly slapped his thigh, "Damn, a woman dares to do this, what are we afraid of!" ”
After speaking, he jumped out suddenly, followed Xing Yuan's footsteps and ran towards the dock, taking off the red robe on his body as he ran, and following Xing Yuan's example, he kept waving towards the sea. The two soldiers had no choice but to follow.
The sporadic feather arrows began to chase the footsteps of a few people, and the ambush soldiers behind them had already discovered the existence of several people, and began to cast feather arrows to block them in a hurry.
Xing Yuan's body trembled, and he had already received an arrow on his shoulder, and the shaft of the arrow was still stuck in his shoulder, but he ignored it and continued to run towards the sea.
Baihu and the others were shocked, and hurriedly blocked with blades in the back, covering Xing Yuan to continue to move forward.
Xing Yuan only felt that the strength on her body was passing away rapidly, but there was still a hundred steps away from the end of the dock in front of her, she waved the battle robe in her hand vigorously, and tears couldn't help but slide down, "Please be sure to see me!" In this way, even if I die, it will be considered valuable! ”
Xing Yuan's gaze was firmly locked on the boat with the handsome flag, searching for Zhu Ping'an's cunzài in the blurred figure, his feet no longer had a trace of feeling, his whole legs were numb, and behind him, there were dots of red imprints, and two lines of bright red footprints.
