Chapter 203: Asking for a Talisman
The night was deep, the camp under the mountain of no return was still silent, and the city guards kept vigil as usual, but no one found that Yang Ming had escaped from the camp cage.
Liu Qianyu carried Yang Ming on his back and the two teenagers carefully dodged between the camps, because the silent night orchid blooming in the camp, the eyesight and hearing of the surrounding soldiers were greatly degraded, which was convenient for the two to abscond, in order to avoid the influence of the silent night orchid, Liu Qianyu and Yang Ming deliberately wore veils to cover their mouths and noses.
"We need to get out of here quickly, and I'm going to go to the capital overnight to move the rescuers." Liu Qianyu carried Yang Ming to a corner, glanced at the surrounding situation, and then said to Yang Ming.
Hearing this, Yang Ming said: "There is no need to go to the national capital to move the rescue troops, I have long been aware of Jiang Zi'an's bad intentions, so this morning I asked Yan Zhendong to secretly go back to the national capital and ask Lord Xiangguo for help." ”
Yang Ming took the opportunity to explain everything to Liu Qianyu, and he also asked Uncle Wu Jian to go to rescue Liu Qianyu's father, General Liu Chen, and at the same time conveyed the time when Jiang Zi'an rebelled, and asked General Liu Chen to send the Red Horse Army back to the Mountain of No Return.
After listening to Yang Ming's words, Liu Qianyu's face was very shocked, his pupils were shocked, and he turned his head and looked at the young man in front of him in a daze, "You already knew that Jiang Zi'an would rebel?"
Liu Qianyu was shocked that Yang Ming had guessed that Jiang Zi'an would rebel early, and was even more shocked by everything Yang Ming had arranged in advance.
Yang Ming sighed and said, "I didn't know it earlier, I only found out this morning." If I had found out earlier, I wouldn't have been like this. ”
Liu Qianyu calmed down his shocked mood, he sorted out the information he got from Yang Ming, and then said: "Now that things have happened, no matter how much you complain, it's useless, let's think about it for now." ”
"Previously, my father arranged 3,000 Red Horse troops to escort him in the Mountain of No Return, but he was transferred away by Jiang Zi'an with a military talisman and ordered him to return to the barracks. If Wu Jian had gone to rescue my father this morning, and after my father was rescued, he would have gone after Jiang Zi'an had rebelled, and he would definitely go after the Red Horse Army. And with the marching speed of the Red Horse Army, if the time is calculated, they should have arrived at the Mountain of No Return a long time ago, but why haven't they seen the trace of the Red Horse Army for a long time?" Liu Qianyu said in thought.
"yes, that's something I couldn't figure out. Yang Ming nodded and agreed, "I guess it's very likely that there was some accident on their way, and it's also very strange, even if the Red Horse Army delays time on the road, but Uncle Wu Jian won't, at the speed of the uncle, it won't take much time to go all the way back and forth." However, the uncle has not seen him return since he left in the morning, which is very suspicious indeed. ”
Hearing this, Liu Qianyu suddenly raised his gaze and asked, "Could it be that the person named Wu Jian didn't save my father at all, but escaped alone." ”
"No way, uncle is definitely not such a person. Hearing Liu Qianyu's question, Yang Ming's face suddenly became angry, and he replied categorically.
"You believe in Wu Jian so much?"
"Yes, I am willing to entrust my life to him. Yang Ming said with a serious face, "Moreover, the uncle's strength is extremely strong, and I think that there is no one in this Jiang country who is the opponent of the uncle." ”
Seeing Yang Ming's resolute appearance, Liu Qianyu temporarily dispelled his previous speculation, and immediately said, "Since Wu Jian is so powerful, why hasn't he even returned to the Mountain of No Return?"
Yang Ming's eyes suddenly sank, he thought for a while, and then said: "I think they may have encountered some obstacles, and the strength of the other party is very strong, so strong that even the uncle is trapped." ”
Suddenly, Yang Ming raised his eyes and guessed: "I guess that this is definitely not Jiang Zi'an's means, there should be someone else, and in this Jiang country, the only person who can have such power is An Shice from Wuxian City." ”
"An Shice?" Liu Qianyu nodded slightly, as if he understood what Yang Ming meant, and then asked, "Then what should we do now?" Since Yan Zhendong had already gone to the national capital to move rescue troops, there was no point in me going to the national capital again. And what's even more troublesome is that if my father's Red Horse Army can't come to the Mountain of No Return, then even if Yan Zhendong invites rescuers from the country, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the Mountain of No Return. ”
Liu Qianyu took the opportunity to voice his concerns.
"That's right, so it's imperative now that we figure out what's holding back the reinforcements. ”
"So what do you say?"
At this time, Yang Ming raised his eyes and looked around the camp, and after scanning for a week, the young man's eyes fell on the direction of the big tent in front of him, and said: "Look, that big tent should be Jiang Zi'an's camp, let's go and see, maybe we can find out some information." ”
"Well, it's just a matter of luck. ”
Liu Qianyu carried Yang Ming on his back, avoided the patrolling soldiers, and quietly slipped to the back of the big tent, hiding in a dense grassy place, just after they had just stopped, at this time, I saw a group of figures suddenly appear on the opposite side and walked towards the big tent.
"Who is it?" It wasn't until the other party approached the gate of the tent that the soldiers guarding outside the tent reacted, and immediately raised their spears and asked vigilantly.
"Presumptuous, don't be rude, this is Lord Cheng Yu, the envoy of the Liang State, and Lord Huang Zheng, the envoy of the Rongguo, go in and report that the two adults want to meet Dazai Jiang Zi'an. ”
"No, Dazai-sama has already instructed that no one should disturb him. The soldier flatly refused the request of the comer, and did not pay any attention to the two envoys.
Hearing this, Cheng Yu snorted at the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Hehe, Jiang Zi'an is such a big shelf." However, tonight we have met Jiang Zi'an. ”
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he immediately glanced at the guards accompanying him, the guard understood, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and before the soldiers guarding the door could react, he raised his hands and instantly twisted the soldier's neck. Seeing this, the remaining dozen or so soldiers raised their spears, and were about to attack it, but they didn't want the guard to be faster, his figure flashed, like a ghost, and his method was even more incomprehensible, only to see a black shadow flickering in front of everyone, and after the guards stopped, more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground, crying for their lives, and did not even let out a wail before death.
The guards killed people very quickly, killing more than a dozen soldiers in a row, but they didn't make a single movement, and the soldiers patrolling the sentry a little away didn't hear the slightest movement, not only that, but even Jiang Zi'an, who was within the battalion commander, didn't notice the abnormality, which shows that this person's strength is so strong, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable.
Looking at the soldiers who fell to the ground, Huang Zheng couldn't help but feel a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately praised: "Amazing, he really deserves to be a national warrior of Liang State, his strength is so high, even if he is a ghost or god, he can't do it." ”
Listening to Huang Zheng's words, Cheng Yu held his beard, smiled indifferently, and said: "Hehe, that's natural, this is the guard I personally selected, named Dong Cheng, who was once the deputy general of my Liang Guojun." ”
"I see. ”
"Leave a few men to stay outside, and don't let anyone in. After instructing his subordinates, Cheng Yu took the guards Dong Cheng and Huang Zheng into Jiang Zi'an's camp.
"Looks like something happened. After witnessing all this, Yang Ming and Liu Qianyu suddenly noticed that the situation was very bad, they carefully hid behind the camp tent, and then Liu Qianyu stretched out his index finger, and then his finger ignited a starlit firefly, poked at the camp tent, it was a small hole, and the two looked into the tent through the small hole.
I saw Jiang Zi'an sitting in front of the desk, his face was very anxious, he was waiting for news from Feng Quan and Feng Gang, looking forward to them entering the mountain tonight to eradicate Jiang Wang and others in one fell swoop. However, he waited all night, but it was Cheng Yu and others who came.
"Lord Cheng Yu, why are you here late at night?" After seeing that the person who came was Cheng Yu Huang Zheng, Jiang Zi'an was really surprised, and immediately got up and asked.
"Hehe, I heard that you sent your two commanders to lead 3,000 soldiers into the Mountain of No Return tonight. Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"Yes, one of the students who followed King Jiang into the mountain before surrendered to me and was willing to lead the way for my army, so I sent troops into the mountain overnight. Jiang Zi'an said.
"Oh, I see, it looks like God bless Dazai. Cheng Yu still said with a smile.
Jiang Zi'an echoed and smiled slightly, and then asked again: "I don't know Lord Cheng Yu, what are you looking for me?"
At this time, Huang Zheng behind him smiled, then stepped forward and said to Jiang Zi'an: "Dazai-sama, we are here tonight to borrow something from you, I hope you will not be stingy." ”
"What is it borrowing?" Jiang Zi'an asked with a slight surprise.
"We know that the Red Horse Talisman is now in your possession, so we want to use it for a while. ”
"Red Horse Soldier Talisman?" Hearing this, Jiang Zi'an's face was shocked, and there was a faint anger in his eyes, the Red Horse Soldier Talisman was an important item in Jiang Guo's military power, how could such an important thing be lent to people from other countries. "No, the Red Horse Army Fu is in danger of my Jiang Guo's safety, how can I lend others. Jiang Zi'an categorically rejected Huang Zheng, thought about it again, and asked, "However, why are you borrowing military talismans?"
"Hehe......" Huang Zheng laughed coldly, implying a conspiracy, and replied: "Don't hide it from Lord Dazai, in fact, as early as a few days ago, my Rongguo had sent 30,000 soldiers to secretly assemble twenty miles outside the border of Jiangguo, but the border of Jiangguo was defended by the Red Horse Army, if my Rongguo forcibly attacked, at that time, it would be a vicious battle, so I would like to borrow the Red Horse Army Talisman from you, and use the talisman to order the Red Horse Army to retreat, get out of the way, and let my 30,000 soldiers of Rongguo enter Jiang Country." ”
"Huang Zheng, what are you talking about?" Jiang Zi'an was shocked after hearing that Rong Guo secretly displayed 30,000 soldiers on the border of Jiang State, "Rong Guo sent 30,000 soldiers to the border, what do you want to do?"
Listening to Jiang Zi's questioning, Huang Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehehe...... Dazai-sama, why are you so confused, what else can we do when we send troops to Eikoku, of course we want to start a war. Let me tell you the truth, our Rongguo wants to annex your Jiang Kingdom. ”
"What are you talking about? This is different from what I said, I have already promised you, as long as I ascend to the throne of Jiang, I will cede the border mountain to Rongguo, why do you want to provoke a war?" Jiang Zi'an accused.
However, listening to Jiang Zi'an's words, Huang Zheng laughed even louder, "Haha...... Dazai-sama, how can a mere border mountain be compared to the land of the entire Jiang country? We, Rongguo, not only want the border mountain, but also the land of the entire Jiang country. ”
