Chapter 185: Another Place
When I left from Shuiyue Tower, it was already late.
Yan Ran was so sleepy that she sat in the carriage and fell asleep in Wen Rong'an's arms.
Back at the inn, Wen Rongan carried Yan Ran back to the room, and after settling her down, he was about to get up.
Yan Ran grabbed his hand in a daze and asked, "Cousin, where are you going?" ”
Wen Rong sat down again, patted Yan Ran gently, and said softly: "I'm not going anywhere, let's sleep!" ”
Yan Ran muttered something, grabbed Wen Rong'an's sleeve tightly, and then fell asleep with peace of mind.
Wen Rongan couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't know before, it turned out that his little cousin was so clingy.
It wasn't until Yan Ran fell asleep that Wen Rongan tiptoed to a quilt and spread it on the ground.
He was stimulated a little too much today, and he couldn't help but feel that if he shared a bed with the girl he loved, there was no guarantee that he would do anything.
Wen Rong'an was forbearant and restrained, thinking that Ran Ran was still young, but she simply liked to pester him, and she didn't understand many things, so he couldn't scare her.
If Yan Ran knew Wen Rong'an's inner activities, she was afraid that she would sigh that her cousin had finally opened up, and then pounced directly.
After all, she's been coveting her cousin for a long time!
Early the next morning, Ye Ci woke up refreshed.
He looked at the beauty sleeping beside him, his heart was extremely satisfied, and then he got up to leave, and he didn't see Jiang Siwan's suddenly open eyes and the cold murderous aura in his eyes.
Ye Ci came downstairs, and someone handed him a letter, saying that it was sent by the post station early in the morning.
When he read the letter, his face was overjoyed, and he immediately led the people out of the city.
On the other side, Yan Ran, who hadn't woken up yet, was also dug up from the quilt by Qingxuan, yawning and combing for days, ready to go.
The caravan left the city, went directly to the official road, and ran in the direction of Guangling.
The road was smooth, and when I came to a narrow road sandwiched between two mountains, I suddenly heard a deafening shouting sound all around, which seemed to be very deterrent to hear from a large number of people.
But the people in the caravan were all veterans who had been in the army for many years, and they were not disorganized by this sudden change.
Everyone immediately took out their weapons and scattered in all directions, forming a defensive formation, attacking and defending, bright and dark.
At this time, I saw a group of fierce-looking mountain bandits rushing out from both sides of the road, shouting: "This is the territory of the Black Dragon Village, if you want to live, leave the money to buy your life!" ”
Zhang Jian led the way at the front of the team, he held a spear, sat on horseback, looked at the mountain bandits condescendingly, and counted them, but there were only twenty or thirty people.
He looked disdainful and said sarcastically: "Even a few of you dare to rob the Tao? It's not enough for Lao Tzu to fight alone! ”
The leader was enraged and shouted, "Brothers, give it to me!" After making this big deal today, they all went home to eat and drink spicy food and marry their mothers-in-law! ”
The crowd was excited, and a group of people immediately rushed forward shouting and killing.
Zhang Jian didn't even get off the horse, and raised the spear in his hand unhurriedly.
I saw a flash of silver light, and the first batch of people who rushed up all fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and only convulsed for a while before they lost their breath.
It turned out that the spear was not an ordinary weapon, but also contained a poisonous hidden weapon!
The people who were still about to rush forward behind were shocked, and Zhang Jian solved more than a dozen people without much effort, which shows how lethal the hidden weapon is.
They are seeking wealth, not death!
The bandits looked at each other and began to slowly retreat.
Ye Ci was hiding in the grass not far away, and when he saw this scene, he was anxious.
Ye Ci originally sent a message to the king of Guangling, conspired with him to disguise himself as a mountain bandit to rob money, and specially told him that there were no less than 100 people on the other side, and asked him to send more people over.
King Guangling quickly responded and sent someone to answer Ye Ci, who was the one who was the leader.
Long before Ye Ci arrived, the man had already set up an ambush.
Because there were too many people, it was not easy to hide on both sides of the road, so he only brought less than twenty people and a dozen or so guards to guard the mountain, so that everyone else hid in the bushes on the mountain.
At that time, as soon as he gave the order, they would rush down from the mountain, surround the caravan, and take them by surprise, and they would be able to do it.
Although Ye Ci didn't see anyone else, he saw the grass and trees on the mountain shaking, and there were faint figures floating, and he heard the earth-shattering roar coming from all directions, full of momentum, so he didn't doubt him.
But for some reason, those who were ambushed on the mountain didn't rush down, maybe they were shocked by Zhang Qian's move?
Ye Ci thought about it, his heart was crossed, and he stood up and shouted: "Brothers, rush!" ”
However, the only thing that answered him was the rustle of leaves that were blown by the wind, and there was no one around.
Moreover, his shouting also revealed his position.
Zhang Jian found Ye Ci and walked over.
Ye Ci saw that the opportunity was not good, and raised his bow and crossbow and shot an arrow at him.
But Ye Ci's speed was too slow for Zhang Qian, and he dodged it effortlessly.
Ye Ci was shocked, and while retreating, he pressed the strings and shot arrows one after another, but they were all avoided by Zhang Jian one by one.
Zhang Jian stepped forward and pressed the sharp spear against Ye Ci's neck.
Ye Ci was so frightened that his legs and feet weakened, he sat on the ground, and shouted: "I am the long history of Guangling Palace!" If you dare to hurt me, the prince will not let you go! ”
Zhang Jian sneered: "Yo, Lord Changshi of the Guangling Palace's Mansion actually colluded with the mountain bandits to block the road to make money, I have to seek justice with the King of Guangling!" ”
Zhang Jian said, and ordered someone to tie up Ye Ci and several other people who were caught, and stuffed them into the carriage.
Among those disguised mountain bandits, there were a few people who ran away, and Zhang Jian didn't care, and continued on the road with Ye Ci.
King Guangling was feasting and drinking in the palace, and summoned a group of singers and dancers, and began to spend time drinking in broad daylight.
He was in the middle of the excitement when he suddenly heard someone report from his subordinates: "Lord Wang, it's not good!" Ye Changshi colluded with the mountain bandits to rob the military rations, and a general from Beining has come to the door! ”
"What?"
King Guangling was shocked, the wine in his hand was spilled, and he was drunk and immediately sober.
Robbing military rations is a felony, is Ye Ci crazy?
King Guangling didn't care about pleasure and hurriedly greeted him.
Zhang Jian walked in with Ye Ci, who was tied up with five flowers, slammed him to the ground, and said to King Guangling: "Lord Wang, the last general is General Zhang, the leader of the Shence Battalion of the Beining garrison, and he is ordered to come to raise armaments and materials this time. Because the matter involved a military aircraft and could not be leaked, the last general pretended to be a merchant, and never thought that he would be robbed by the mountain bandits, and the person who instructed the mountain bandits was actually the long history of your palace. ”
King Guangling read the relevant documents presented by Zhang Jian and confirmed his identity, and then listened to his words, and the green tendons on his forehead twitched one by one.
He is just an idle prince, not as ambitious as King Yongning, and his greatest wish is to use his power to earn more money and spend his life in abundance and comfort.
Although he is greedy for money, he will never dare to fight the idea of military funds!
Now that he is accused of such a big crime, if he is included in a book, won't his good life come to an end?
King Guangling hurriedly explained: "This king doesn't know, it's all his own opinion!" ”
As he spoke, he kicked Ye Ci fiercely and scolded: "This king lacks you to eat or you to wear, and you dare to collude with the mountain bandits to rob military funds?" ”
Although Ye Ci was beaten, he also took the opportunity to spit out the cotton cloth stuffed in his mouth, and shouted in pain: "Lord Wang, the villain is wronged, they framed me!" ”
Ye Ci looked at Zhang Jian angrily and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Yan Ran?" If you were a general in Bac Ninh, how could you go with her? I'm afraid your identity is fake! ”
King Guangling still remembered the amazing Yan Ran dancing at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, but he didn't know why Ye Ci suddenly mentioned her name.
Ye Ci said angrily: "Lord Wang, the villain was forced to leave Anyang at the beginning, and it was Yan Ran's slut who designed to frame him!" I didn't know that she had a relationship with this person, and I broke my identity and framed me again! She was supposed to be in Anyang, but she suddenly appeared here, there must be an ulterior secret......"
"Do you dare to mention Anyang?!"
Before Ye Ci's words were finished, he was interrupted.
Several people looked over together, and saw Jiang Siwan walking in.
Ye Ci was shocked: "Why are you here, Yan Ran?" ”
Zhang Jian glanced at Ye Ci: "I don't know who you're talking about." ”
It turned out that Yan Ran was not in the team, but Jiang Siwan pretended to be her and took the opportunity to return to Guangling.
As soon as Jiang Siwan saw King Guangling, he knelt on the ground and cried: "Lord Wang, please be the master of the slave family!" Because the slave family accidentally discovered Ye Ci's secret, he first designed the slave family to annoy the prince, and then chased him to Yuzhou to kill people! Thanks to General Zhang's rescue, the slave family escaped by luck! ”
Ye Ci said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
King Guangling was concerned: "What secret? ”
Jiang Siwan took out a stack of letters and presented them to King Guangling: "Lord Wang, Ye Ci has been communicating with Anyang!" ”
Ye Ci explained: "Lord Wang, the villain's foreign family is in Anyang, and it is an occasional family letter!" ”
Ye Ci did write several letters to Zhen Yu one after another because he didn't give up, but what happened?
But I heard Jiang Siwan complain: "You are pretending to be in the name of a family letter, but in fact, you are passing on the news about Guangling to Anyang!" ”
Guangling Wan read the contents of the letter and couldn't help but be shocked.
Ye Ci's letter seems ordinary, but in fact, it vaguely mentions Guangling and the situation of King Guangling.
It's a shame that he still trusts Ye Ci so much, but Ye Ci doesn't know who sent him, and he has been monitoring him!
Ye Ci defended in a panic: "Lord Wang, that letter was not written by a villain, it was their ......"
King Guangling was furious, no longer believed Ye Ci, picked up the vase in his hand and smashed it: "Eat things inside and outside!" ”
Zhang Jian said: "Lord Wang, this person robbed military funds, and the general thought that it should be dealt with according to military law." ”
King Guangling immediately said: "The general can deal with it as he wants, and this king will not be partial!" ”
Ye Ci had no chance to refute, he was smashed to the ground, almost fainting, but his thoughts were extremely clear.
At this point, there is nothing he can't understand.
Yan Ran and Jiang Siwan had already secretly formed an alliance, and his letter to King Guangling naturally failed to spread, and those so-called mountain bandits were all pretended to be by Zhang Qian's subordinates.
What hidden weapons, what ambushes, are all fake, and they are all made for him to see.
What he couldn't figure out was why Yan Ran was here, what her identity was, and when she joined forces with Jiang Siwan.
And, how did he get put on the spot by her again.
In two encounters, he lost his reputation last time, but this time he lost his life.
