Chapter 171: Three-Way Iron Horse
At that time, the capital was turbulent, and on the road, in addition to the Jiucheng Terracotta Division patrolling the streets, there were only the small servants sent by the ministers and nobles to inquire about the news from the people of the Jiucheng Terracotta Division, and then go back to report, but each family did not dare to let too many people go out to inquire about the news, at most two or three people, and they had to know the patrols of the Jiucheng Terracotta Division, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

What the hermit rode was Guo Zicheng's own mount, a brown wild horse, Guo Zicheng said when he lent the horse to the hermit that as long as he let it go, he would naturally return to his official office.
But the horse was really good, galloping like the wind.
Along the way, the people of the Jiucheng Terracotta Division saw that the Tianyin Ke had to get out of the way, and they didn't dare to make any blocking actions at all, not to mention the horse that the Tianyin Ke was riding, just the black panther suit, the people of the Jiucheng Terracotta Division did not dare to stop it, not to mention this joint eye, saying that the horse was spiritual, and the people of the Jiucheng Terracotta Division could see the traces of this horse in and out of the official office, it was Guo Zicheng's favorite horse, and there must be something important for Governor Guo to lend his love horse.
The hermit who was galloping on the horse did not pay attention to the city patrols on both sides of the street at all, and his purpose was not to go straight to the city gate, but to run like Li Shinong's house, which is also Cao Zhuo's home, and the same Tianyinke also lived there for a long time, Li Shinong and Cao Zhuo were like his own family.
Since Cao Zhuo left, Li Tianshan also ran around and no longer went home, Tian Yinke and Lin Shihao were busy outside all day long, every time they slept and went home, sometimes they didn't come back directly, seeing that there was a curfew in the capital in broad daylight, Li Shinong also knew that something big had happened, the only thing he was worried about was Tian Yinke and Lin Shihao, Li Tianshan was not too worried, he was as clever as a ghost, and he would laugh if he didn't get into trouble.
Suddenly, Li Shinong heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
Li Shinong hit a spirit, casually touched a handful of wooden sticks and grabbed a packet of medicinal powder on the table, and shouted at the door: "Who? ā
"Old man Li is me."
Oh! If it was to call Uncle Li directly or something, Li Shinong would unceremoniously open the door directly and sprinkle a handful of medicinal powder, and then beat the wooden stick in his hand, but there are not many people who can call himself Old Man Li in person, and there was a slight smile on his face, but he seemed to be very anxious when he heard the shouts of the hermit, and hurriedly ran to the gate at the moment to open the door for the hermit.
But as soon as he opened the door, Li Shinong was a little stunned, what about the mask of the hermit? But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the hermit.
"I'm leaving, if Fuxue comes back to me, I'll ask her to come to Xiliang City to find me." The hermit said solemnly.
Li Shinong was stunned for a moment, and said, "Xiliang City? Xiliang City? That...... Didn't Cao Zhuo go over there too? You're going to find him? Suddenly, Li Shinong was a little distracted, and another relative was about to leave him.
Hearing Li Shinong mention Cao Zhuo, Tianyinke was also stunned, silent for a long time, only to hear Guo Zicheng's horse roar, turned around and ran back the same way, Tianyinke came to his senses, grabbed Li Shinong's old hands tightly and said: "Uncle Li take care of himself, this trip is very likely not to come back, if there is any trouble, go to the palace to find Tianshan." In an instant, Tianyinke found that the old man in front of him was a lot haggard, he was very happy before, whether it was he and Cao Zhuo stealing his medicinal materials or what, but he was very lively, and his mentality was the same as that of a young man, but now he really found out that Li Shinong was old, but this was related to himself, and he believed that Li Shinong had already regarded himself as a relative.
After finishing speaking, the hermit left the courtyard, led a black horse left by Cao Zhuo out of the gate, and then jumped on the horse; And Li Shinong looked at Tianyinke blankly and didn't say a word, Li Shinong knew that Tianyinke was not like Cao Zhuo, Cao Zhuo had a purpose to go out of Beijing, I am afraid that Tianyinke was going out of Beijing this time to escape.
Tianyinke glanced back at Li Shinong on the horse, where he was secretly sad, and his hands tightly grasped the reins of the horse: "Ride the ......" and rode away.
Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves going away, Li Shinong came back to his senses and chased a few steps and shouted: "Child, be careful." But he didn't hear any response, and the horse was already gone.
Tianyinke heard Li Shinong's voice behind him, and he took care of himself like his elders, but unfortunately he couldn't stay here and accompany this old man to spend his old age in peace.
rushed all the way to the gate of Dongcheng, did not encounter any obstacles on the way, and did not see a single one of the Royal Forest Army, and the Heavenly Hermit thought in his heart that it was very likely that Lin Shihao and Guo Zicheng would stop the Royal Forest Army; If it weren't for that, it is estimated that the soldiers and horses of the Royal Forest Army would have pursued them.
Seeing that the city gate was in front of him, Tianyin Ke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and now he was thinking about how to deceive the city gate, and the most regrettable thing was that Guo Zicheng's horse ran back, otherwise he could use this as an excuse to ask the people of Jiucheng to open the city gate.
Just as he was thinking about it, the hermit suddenly heard that there was a dense sound like a muffled thunder, and the surroundings seemed to be turbulent.
The first thought of the hermit was "earthquake"?
As the sense of vibration became stronger and stronger, the sound became closer and closer, and the hermit also knew that this was definitely not an earthquake, the sound came from behind him, and he hurriedly looked back, as if he had received a slap in the chest.
The black cavalry was in pursuit, the horses were sturdy and wearing iron armor, and there was soft armor at the joints of the horses' hooves, and the cavalry on the horse, the iron armor only showed sharp eyes, which reminded the hermit that he saw two cavalry very similar in the records of the Jinyi Guard, and only these two cavalry would have such equipment, hussar battalion and chariot cavalry battalion.
However, these cavalry in front of him are very different from the armor system of the two cavalry riding on the hussar, and the armor of these cavalry in front of him is more like that of the Imperial Forest Army. A few can be said to be reasonable, but if they are so well equipped, and there are thousands of them, it proves that there is indeed a cavalry in the Imperial Guards.
Looking at the cavalry that was gradually approaching him, the Sky Hermit also showed a frightened look in his eyes at this time, no matter who was facing the black and overwhelming torrent of iron horses, how could he not have a sense of fear?
"The traitor is gone." A heroic voice erupted from the torrent of iron horses, and for a while, it was able to suppress the sound of iron horses like thunder, which was definitely not an ordinary person.
Tianyin Ke fixed his eyes and scolded in his heart: MD, Fang Xinzhong.
Turning his head, he wanted to run to the city gate on horseback, but something unexpected happened again, and the hermit found that not only was there a royal cavalry chasing behind him, but also cavalry on both sides, and the sound was louder than that of the royal cavalry, so there were more than 10,000 cavalry? There are more than 20,000 cavalry on three sides, and the Tianyin Ke holds the cold light knife in his right hand, but he does not dare to move, beware of the cavalry coming from three sides.
At the head of the east gate, Miao Miao was generous, and the people below told him that there were brocade guards and cavalry rushing to the east gate, and immediately looked over, but then saw that there were nearly 10,000 cavalry chasing behind a horseman.
The cronies beside Miao Dafang, looking at the chasing cavalry, did not change their faces, but frowned and said: "When did the Imperial Forest Army have a cavalry of nearly 10,000?" ā
Miao Dafang ignored him, and said lightly: "Jinyiwei, Tianyouke? How could he be pursued by the Royal Cavalry? ā
Hearing the huge rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the Jiucheng soldiers quickly deployed into the city, but then heard the sound of horses' hooves from both sides, which was the face of many older Jiucheng soldiers, and some hurriedly ran to Miao Dafang's side and said, "My lord, it's ......."
When he was about to speak, he was generously planned by Miao, and roared in his throat: "Lao Tzu knows, do you still need to teach me?" "I was also shocked in my heart, why did they come too?
Similarly, Fang Xinzhong, who was chasing the Heavenly Hermit, heard the sound of horses' hooves on both sides, and his face changed, and it seemed that the cavalry who came was not Fang Xinzhong's person.
Although the cavalry on both sides arrived late, their speed was much faster than that of the Royal Forest Cavalry, and they quickly surrounded the Heavenly Hidden Guest.
The cavalry hermits who saw these sides were even more surprised, if they guessed correctly, it should be them.
The hussar camp and the chariot camp guarding the imperial mausoleum, but leaving the imperial mausoleum without permission is a capital offense.
The cavalry of the hussar battalion and the chariot cavalry battalion surrounded the Sky Hermit in the middle, and what to say was more like protecting the Sky Hermit in the middle, after all, the cavalry of the two battalions was facing the pursuing Royal Cavalry.
Fang Xinzhong was more than a hundred steps away, waved his hand and ordered to stop, and shouted at the hussar camper and cavalry camp that surrounded the Tianyin guest: "Hussar general Cheng You, chariot general Zhang Qiongke?" "But the drum is also beating in my heart, why are the people of the two battalions together?
Among the hussars and chariots came two high-armed horses, and the horses of the two battalions of hussars and chariots were much taller than the horses of the Royal Guards, and they were like hermits in the middle of the two camps, like a donkey in a herd of horses, and they were also covered.
The two people who rode out of the horse, the equipment on their bodies also covered all their bodies, revealing only their blazing eyes.
One of them looked at the Royal Forest Cavalry and said to the people around him with a smile: "Zhang Xian, go back and tell your young master that there are still people who remember us, you see that all the ten thousand cavalry are equipped according to the standard equipment of our two battalions, hehe, interesting." ā
The person who was called Zhang Xian spoke in an old-fashioned tone, but he was very rude: "Don't talk nonsense with me, when will you pay back the two hundred-year-old cellars you owe me?" ā
The person who just spoke was speechless for a while, and when he saw Zhang Xian's gaze, he hurriedly dodged away.
Fang Xinzhong's eyes are sharp, but his ears are also very sensitive, the conversation between the two of them is listened to in his ears, but he is also surprised when he doesn't listen to it, why are these two people here?
According to the words of Emperor Xiaozong, Zhang Xian has served the country for most of his life to find a position where he can enjoy his old age, and then went to the car riding camp to be the deputy general, that is the main general of the car riding camp but Zhang Shang, the Zhang family has been in charge of the car riding camp for generations for Emperor Xiaozong to serve the car riding camp, and Zhang Xian is very related to the Zhang family, Zhang Xian is a domestic slave of the Zhang family, born with divine power since childhood, and likes to see the art of war, Zhang Shang knows to stay in the Zhang family or follow the car riding camp training, It's a waste, so Zhang Xian was relieved of his slavery and let him join the army, and he really made a great contribution, but Zhang Xian's attitude towards the Zhang family is still the same as a slave to his master, respectful, and he didn't regard himself as a general at all in the Zhang family, not only lived in the Zhang family with a cheeky face, but also cleaned and weeded with the family...... Now Zhang Qiong, the commander of the Che Cavalry Battalion, is Zhang Shang's grandson.
The person who spoke to Zhang Xian just now was not simple, this person was Liu Sheng, who was originally a notorious robber on the rivers and lakes, but he was a good drinker, and he smelled good wine in Cheng's mansion, so he slipped in in the middle of the night, and was subdued by hundreds of generals in Cheng's mansion.
Liu Sheng roared at the head of the Cheng Mansion: "What kind of ability is it for hundreds of people to arrest one person? ā
The head of the Cheng Mansion smiled and said, "Do you want to be one-on-one?" ā
"No, as long as there is wine to drink, let alone these hundreds, and a thousand more is not my opponent." Liu Sheng said proudly.
But he made the head of the Cheng Mansion and the relatives who peeked at him laugh, so he took out the good wine in the Cheng Mansion for Liu Sheng to drink, to see if he had this ability, but in the end, he ...... The head of the Cheng Mansion found out that he had been fooled, and Liu Sheng was so drunk that the head of the Cheng Mansion couldn't smile bitterly, and then, Liu Sheng was reluctant to leave the Cheng Mansion with a dead face.
The head of the Cheng family found that although Liu Sheng was notorious, he belonged to that kind of alternative person, and he walked an unusual path, so he would be called a wicked person.
In the end, the head of the Cheng Mansion said: "As long as you can make meritorious contributions to the army and kill the enemy, and you are not expelled from the barracks or have not committed any military law, then the gate of the Cheng Mansion will always be open for you." ā
Since then, Liu Sheng's relationship with the head of the Cheng family has been like a servant and a friend.
The two slaves were enlisted in the same year as Fang Xinzhong, Fang Xinzhong is powerful, but the two of them are not weak, if they really fight, it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose.
Liu Sheng was a little ashamed to be collected for debts in front of everyone, and quickly changed the topic and shouted at Fang Xinzhong: "Brother Fang, do you have any good wine?" ā
Well? Hearing Liu Sheng's roar, the hussars rode the two battalions, Zhang Xian, and the royal cavalry all stared at Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng continued to ask unconsciously: "Old Fang, is there any?" Say, what do you do with me? ā
Fang Xinzhong was a little dumbfounded by the question, and said helplessly: "There is ......"
Liu Sheng's face was happy, and he was about to speak, but he heard a heavy cough beside him.
Immediately came back to his senses, didn't dare to turn his head back, swallowed his saliva, and roared loudly: "Old Fang, it's none of your business here, go back quickly." ā
Finally got to the point.
"I'm now chasing down the rebels in the imperial court, and I hope you two get out of the way, not to mention how could you leave the imperial tomb with troops without permission? This is a heinous crime. Fang Xinzhong replied.
Liu Sheng turned his head to look at Zhang Xian and asked, "What should I do, the old party has no intention of going back, and he wants to say that we have committed the crime of killing our heads." ā
"Ask the kid if he has any tokens, if not, throw them to the old party, we will go by ourselves, if there is, he will go, we will play with the old party." Zhang Xian looked at the royal cavalry in front of him and said.
Fang Xinzhong watched the two of them ride into the two battalions of cavalry like this, his heart tightened but he didn't say anything, if he fought with the two battalions of cavalry here, the losses would be heavy, and the people and horses from the two battalions were about one-fifth at most, a total of four thousand cavalry, and if the royal forest cavalry said to these old cavalrymen, the chance of winning was between five and five.
The hermit surrounded his cavalry and made way for him, and two people rode slowly towards him, and one of them said to him, "Boy, are you a brocade guard?" ā
