Chapter 42: Finding Zhu Houzhao
Although the soldiers and horses were mobilized very frequently, there was no misfire, and they did not leave their own station, which made Lu Bing very anxious, because Zhu Houzhao must have had an accident, or was held hostage, otherwise how could anyone dare to do this, not to mention that according to Lu Bing's understanding, these armies are not a powerful party, and the powers of all parties cannot sit still, only if the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is not guaranteed.
Lu Bing and Yang Feiyan got off the horse and touched Huai'an, Huai'an City was even more chaotic, there were eagle dogs from the imperial court, and people from the rivers and lakes, but the two parties lived in peace, did not fight, and said hello when they met on the road. The doubts in Lu Bing's heart became bigger and bigger, and suddenly he saw Meng Lin, and hurriedly dodged and hid in the shadows, Yang Feiyan just wanted to ask something but was covered by Lu Bing's mouth, and glanced at it with his eyes, Yang Feiyan looked at Lu Bing's gaze, and motioned for Lu Bing to give him his hand.
Meng Lin was sitting in the teahouse with four or five men from the rivers and lakes talking about things, Lu Bing probed the probe, and the person who was talking to Meng Lin couldn't see his face clearly, but there were four or five people wearing flying fish suits standing behind him, who were the brocade guards of the imperial court. How could Meng Lin get involved with Jinyiwei?
The two parties said a few words, and after about a cup of tea, Meng Lin clenched his fists and bowed his hands, and then turned away, and the brocade guards sent Meng Lin to the door and said goodbye. Lu Bing's eyes widened, it turned out that the person who was talking to his righteous brother Meng Lin turned out to be a sword ghost clothed wolf, what the hell is going on, the eldest brother knew that the wolf was his enemy, and almost stabbed himself to death with a sword, although it was said that each was its master, but later Lu Bing was hunted down and killed because of the wolf's private instruction Meng Lin also knew about it, what happened to the meeting between the two today? Why did Meng Lin ignore his enemies and talk and laugh?
Lu Bing took a deep breath to ease his already chaotic mood, and pulled Yang Feiyan to the deep alley, ready to find a place to sort out his head, the current situation is a little chaotic, I don't know what happened in Lu Dao, the team that assassinated the king and the imperial court brocade guards were mixed together, could it be that they had already been recruited? Lu Bing found a place in the shade and sat on the ground, Yang Feiyan asked: "Let's find an inn to live in first, there are many people outside, and people may be seen." ”
"The inn has a lot of people and is easier to spot, so we might have to rest on the rooftop. You see that now the city of Huai'an has become a pot of porridge, my eldest brother and the people of the court are mixed together, and the soldiers and horses outside the city are training each other and deterring each other with momentum, something big must have happened. Lu Bing analyzed.
Yang Feiyan frowned and said: "Maybe it was Zhu Houzhao who came to the drill on a whim, after all, there was just a rebellion in Jiangxi, maybe it would be possible to deter the remnants of the local party?" ”
"It's likely, but it should be very small. Although you and Zhu Houzhao have been together for a longer time than us, the reason why we are close friends is because we have the same heart, I understand him, and he understands me. Zhu Houzhao is a monarch who uses both soft and iron-blooded policies, although he is greedy and lustful, but he did not delay the business, and has to admit that although the eunuchs in the court and the central government are in charge, they have not done anything treacherous, and what they do is still under Zhu Houzhao's control. And you see that over the years, everyone has scolded Zhu Houzhao for being a faint king, but it must be misled, and those who demagogue the people's minds must have another purpose, but the actual situation is that we have no foreign invasion, and our life is getting better and better. Lu Bing said.
Yang Feiyan blinked and said, "You have some answers that are not what you asked, I didn't say that Zhu Houzhao is mediocre." ”
"Draw inferences, just because he is not mediocre, he will not show off his strength after victory, and besides, the southern tour has already done what he wants to do. As the saying goes, slap a sweet date to eat, now is the time to recuperate, he loves to play, so the southern tour has caught Cao, and he will not go too far to show off enough. Of course, the southern tour has another purpose, that is, the reshuffle of the DPRK and China. What you don't understand, this is often the case in my time, especially when acting externally is not only a demonstration, but also a strategic adjustment, and there are a lot of analyses on the forum, and I think that although some of them are a bit extreme, they still have merit. Lu Bing said to himself, he was using the narrative to sort out his messy thoughts, so he didn't care whether Yang Feiyan understood it or not.
Lu Bing thought for a while and continued: "I guess the situation is like this, it is very likely that Zhu Houzhao is controlled now, so the court naturally has loyal ministers to rescue and power to protect the driver, so as to grasp greater power, and of course, the group of people who controlled Zhu Houzhao to protect themselves and transfer troops. This is a good explanation for the transfer of officers and soldiers around you, why don't you understand? In other words, people in these aspects are showing their strength and telling each other not to move. ”
"Then what's going on with Meng Lin?" Yang Feiyan asked.
Lu Bing sighed and said: "The result of this phenomenon is not fun, the fifth master and the court have this deep hatred and hatred, they will definitely not believe in the court anymore, Zhao'an is impossible, then that means the fifth master, the ninth master, including your father Uncle Yang, may be trapped by my eldest brother, and even in this way he can grasp the overall situation." Lu Bing saw Yang Feiyan's face pale, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, this is just my guess, or maybe this is a trick to lure the enemy." Most of the tycoons in the world are reckless men, it's okay to fight and kill people, but it's not impossible for a character like my eldest brother to be false and wrongful. ”
Yang Feiyan nodded, eased up, and asked, "What should we do next?" ”
Lu Bing blinked his eyes and his brain spun rapidly and said: "It's not easy for us to get in touch with Qunhao, everything has to be prepared for the worst, in case it's really my eldest brother who controls the three seniors, we can't save them if we go alone." Go and save Zhu Houzhao first, as long as he is fine, let him help us rescue your father and them. ”
"If that's the case, my father and they won't agree to Zhu Houzhao to save them, what a shame it is to be rescued by the person he wants to assassinate." Yang Feiyan said.
Lu Bing snorted coldly and said: "If the head is gone, you have to have a fart to save face, don't talk nonsense, go, go to the vicinity of Qingjiangpu and turn down." ”
The two of them touched the vicinity of Qingjiangpu, and there were not many people around, but they were all masters, their eyes were sharp, their eyes were as sharp as eagles, they were either tough guys with bulging temples and muscles, or they were experienced people who were restrained and quiet and occupied the best attack position. Yang Feiyan is light, and Lu Bing is not bad, not to mention that Lu Bing, a person who has experienced the battle of life and death, can be regarded as holding down the position, and sneaked to the riverside without changing or slow.
The two hid by the reeds, and Yang Feiyan asked in a low voice: "What should I do next, the surrounding vision is wide, if we get a boat over, we will definitely be discovered, and there is no boat here." ”
"That's why I said be prepared." Lu Bing said as he took out one or two skin sacs from the package, then took out two small bones with the middle bone marrow drained, and said, "Bite into your mouth, let's sneak over." After saying that, he blew the two skins wide, and stirred them back and forth twice in the wind, and the inside was quickly filled with air and became inflated.
Yang Feiyan laughed in a low voice: "It's really troublesome, wouldn't it be good to use the reeds directly, the middle of the reeds is also hollow." Lu Bing shook his head and said: "It's too thin, it's enough to hide under the water, it's not enough if you swim to ventilate, and the reeds are not easy to be too long, so it's too close to the water surface, and sooner or later you have to expose the horse's feet." Moreover, in the center of the water without reeds, the color of a bone is more inconspicuous than that of this thin reed, and the clumsiness can sometimes break the big skill. ”
Yang Feiyan pointed to the leather bag, with a puzzled expression, Lu Bing said: "If you get close to the boat, if you are discovered, someone will definitely shoot with an arrow, and then you will dive down hard, relying on the resistance and buoyancy of the water to remove the arrow." Then just swim forward, how to breathe underwater, and you can't float up for breath, just use this skin bag to breathe in your mouth, the air inside is enough to swim, so that it will not be easy for the other party to find us, by the way, there is this you hold. ”
Lu Bing handed Yang Feiyan a small water bladder, Yang Feiyan unscrewed it and sniffed it with her nose, and couldn't help frowning: "What is the use of such a big smell of blood?" ”
"Once the other party shoots an arrow, Pise opens and squeezes hard, and a ball of blood is mixed into the water, and they will definitely think that we have been hit by the arrow, so they will let down their guard or stop firing the arrow, isn't it more convenient for us to escape?" Lu Bing explained.
Yang Feiyan covered her mouth and laughed and said, "Since I met you, you have only been thinking about how to escape. ”
"It is not the warriors who blindly move forward without considering the way out, but the reckless." Lu Bing pretended to be profound.
"Then you mean you're a wise man?" Yang Feiyan continued.
Lu Bing hid the remaining things in the package on his body on the shore, and said while covering up: "Actually, I am a theoretical expert, and I am really more impulsive than my second brother in things, and I am purely a horseman." ”
"For example, did you impulsively bring your injuries to save me?" Yang Feiyan looked at Lu Bing, Lu Bing suddenly felt that his head was a little big, how can a woman talk about feelings regardless of the occasion and place, surrounded by masters, if you act with emotions, it is inevitable that there will be problems, but this question is good to ask, is the impulse at that time really just an impulse or is it simply a causal responsibility? The root of impulsiveness often comes from the truest thoughts in one's heart, so I like Yang Feiyan a little, or do I think of her as someone who needs to wait for her life? What is Meng Xueqing, is Xiaorui just a tragedy of feudal marriage? Lu Bing was a little disgusted with himself, could it be that he was a person who hated people so much?
Lu Bing shook his head, and said in his heart that he would leave here and wait until it was safe to think about this issue, so he said to Yang Feiyan: "Let's leave and talk" Before he finished speaking, he was kissed by Yang Feiyan's lips, blocking Lu Bing's words, and after a short kiss, Yang Feiyan left Lu Bing and said: "Lu Bing, don't be too confident, it's uncertain whether we can rescue Zhu Houzhao alive today, what I want to do is done." ”
Lu Bing's face was flushed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's go into the water." Lu Bing walked a few meters with his body bowed and found that Yang Feiyan had not moved, and asked suspiciously: "Don't tell me that you can't swim?" ”
"Wait, I can swim, I just have two questions, first, why do you have so many ideas? Second, what is this skin made of? Yang Feiyan asked.
Lu Bing scratched his head and said: "First, this airbag is also used by fishermen in the extreme south now, this is a simplified version of the oxygen cylinder, and it is too troublesome to explain anything else, so I don't explain it." The second question, if you really want to hear it, I'll tell you, it's made of pig urine foam. Saying that Lu Bing went into the water first, knowing that if Yang Feiyan was still on the shore, Yang Feiyan would have to be endless, and Yang Feiyan in his impression was always very neat, and since he learned that he had gone to save her to the place of life and death, he began to be chattering.
Yang Feiyan retched, but still went into the water with something. The two swam for a while, like crocodiles, only a small part of the water was exposed, and after some observation, they locked a small boat in the side branch, and there was a hat man in the bow of the boat who stretched out a bamboo pole to fish, and the figure should be Zhu Houzhao. One person stood behind Zhu Houzhao like a clay sculpture, and two people with similar figures in the stern, I don't know how many people were in the cabin, and the boat was an ordinary fisherman's fishing boat, so the cabin was very small, and there were two or three people sitting on it.
Lu Bing grabbed the knife at his waist, ready to jump up and get on the boat to occupy the most advantageous position, and then asked Zhu Houzhao about the current situation.
