Chapter 18: There is a knife behind him
Li Fengyao seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves and woke up from his sleep, and the sky was dark outside.
There is no need to sleep anymore, Li Fengyao called his entourage, and the entourage came in to serve him to dress, and quietly reported that there were soldiers and horses coming in and out of the government in the middle of the night.
Although he can't go in and out of the mansion at will, it doesn't stop him from sending people to keep an eye on the mansion, especially now that Li Mingyu is not in Jiannan Dao.
Li Fengyao was very indignant, Li Mingyu should have accompanied him when he went to the capital to face the saint, but he let the woman in the inner house go, saying that Jiannan Dao could not do without people, and as an elder, he should stay.
He stayed, but the government still didn't let him in, and he was still controlled by that Yan Mao.
"I just need the third master to keep an eye on him." Li Min explained to him.
Okay, he stared at this Yan Mao fiercely.
So it's not that he dreamed that there were really soldiers and horses, Li Fengyao immediately wanted to go to the mansion to ask Yan Mao, and as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Li Min ran over.
"You're just in time." He shouted.
Li Min also spoke at the same time: "Third master, I was looking for you, and I just received news from home. ”
Li Fengyao said: "Last night, there were soldiers and horses in and out of the palace, is Yan Mao transferring troops?" Mingyu is not here, how can he transfer troops at will? ”
Li Min said: "The second master asked the third master to come and invite the third master to go back for the New Year, and the old lady said to let the young master Minghai come here to help." ”
Li Fengyao was furious: "I don't want to be greedy, what can a child in Minghai help!" I went to write a letter to my mother. ”
Li Min nodded: "I'll go to the yamen to see what Yan Mao is doing." ”
As soon as the two met, they turned around and left, and they were quick and happy, without half a word of nonsense, and their cooperation became more and more harmonious, and Li Fengyao was very satisfied with this.
This is his goal, to train the subordinates of Jiannan Dao to be like this.
Li Fengyao returned to the house and wrote to Mrs. Li with affection and reason, asking her not to be coerced by the son next to her, Jiannan Dao is not an easy place, he is so easy to open the situation here, if he leaves at this time, his previous efforts will be wasted, not to mention that now her daughter Mingqi is in Taiyuan Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and Jiannan Dao have to be hidden, he must be here to keep an eye on it to ensure that nothing happens.
Of course Minghai can come, but he has to wait, and when Li Mingyu comes back from the capital, the position of the Jiedu envoy is completely stable, and when the time comes, he can do things by Li Mingyu's side, and the brothers will accompany him to break the gold.
Li Fengyao wrote hard and couldn't care about other things.
Li Min didn't sit easily in the yamen, the melon seeds on the plate were quietly placed, he held his chin with his hand and looked worried, the Yiren rebellion was actually related to Ankang Mountain, when did Ankang Mountain extend its hand to the southwest? Could that assassin be arranged by Ankang Mountain? The eldest lady is really right, Ankang Mountain is going to rebel.
Involved in such a big event, because I don't know if Nanyi still has people lurking in Ankang Mountain, Xiang Yun didn't dare to bring this eldest grandson of the Ping clan to Jiannan Dao, so he could only sneak around at a gallop in the night, and Yan Mao also took advantage of the night to go to Nanyi with soldiers and horses.
Fortunately, this hidden danger was discovered before Ankang Mountain did not rebel, otherwise the eldest lady would have grabbed land outside, and they would have lost their homes inside.
Li Min regained his joy, reached out and pinched the melon seeds, and a squeak sounded in the quiet hall, but why was he still worried?
Li Min stretched out his hand and pressed his brow, always feeling uneasy, because the troubled times that the eldest lady said would come true.
Li Min pinched a melon seed and bit it open again.
When the night fell, Yan Mao Xiangyun, who had changed two horses and galloped, entered the territory of Nanyi.
"I'm afraid that even the Metropolitan Governor didn't expect that Ankang Mountain would be involved in Nanyi." Yan Mao and Xiang Yun rode side by side and said in a low voice, "And it's not something that can be done in a day or two. ”
Ankangshan's greed for power and swallowing troops in the Northeast can be convicted of being arrogant, but manipulating the Nanyi rebellion is really ironclad evidence that his heart is different.
Maybe the Metropolitan Governor noticed Ankang Mountain's dissenting intentions before his death, and reminded the eldest lady, so the eldest lady would act like this?
"After Nanyi put down the rebellion, I came here to investigate for a long time, but I didn't expect that the eldest grandson of the Ping clan was still hiding here." He blamed himself again, "If it weren't for Brother Yun, you would be here to see ..... everything."
"It's not that I know everything, it's that the Ping thief is undying and bold enough to sneak back here, otherwise I wouldn't have found out." Xiang Yun didn't think it was done, but was even more solemn, "Interrogating the thief of the Ping family, he only said that he heard that Li Mingyu had become a festival envoy, and he thought that the doll festival would make Jiannan Dao dare not make chaos again, so he wanted to sneak back, this may be the safest place, but I suspect that the Ping family dares to do this, there must be a perfect strategy." ”
Yan Mao nodded in agreement: "Wait for me to interrogate." ”
The horse's hooves were obtained, and they entered a dense forest, and there were many dense forests in the southwest of Jiannan Road, especially in Nanyi, and the officers and soldiers in front lit the medicine torches to disperse snakes and insects and relieve miasma.
Torches are like dragons, but in the dense forest, they are like fireflies.
"I'm most worried about Mingyu in this matter." Xiang Yun sighed lightly, "If Ankang Mountain has already moved his heart to my Jiannan Dao, it will be very dangerous for Mingyu to go to the capital." ”
The capital is the emperor's world, and Ankang Mountain is the emperor's favorite, if he wants to do something, Jiannan Dao whip can't reach it.
This time Yan Mao did not agree, and hesitated: "Don't worry, Mingyu will not go to the capital." ”
Xiang Yun clenched the reins in his hand, and his voice was slightly surprised: "Childe doesn't go to the capital?" ”
Everyone knew that Li Mingyu was going to Beijing to thank him, and he had already set off, and he was still making wine for the emperor on the way.
Yan Mao regretted it a little, the eldest lady told him not to tell anyone else about this matter, but Xiang Yun found out that Nanyi was involved with Ankang Mountain, and blurted it out for a while, how to explain it?
"If something like this happens, I'll arrange for someone to call him back." He said, "Or stop on the way, and it is natural for Childe to be sick at a young age." ”
So what he said before meant that Li Mingyu didn't go to the capital, but that he planned to let Li Mingyu not go to the capital.
Xiang Yun smiled in his heart, and was a little stunned, how long had he not been coaxed as a child, his face was not revealed, he did not ask again, and he did not immediately agree, his brows furrowed in disagreement: "This is not appropriate, someone in the court will attack Mingyu with this and take away his temperance envoy." ”
Opposition is the real belief, Yan Mao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "As long as the Mingyu people are not under the control of the capital, there will be a chance to refute." He raised his hand and patted Xiang Yun on the shoulder, "We'll discuss it later, let's see what secrets are still hidden on the Ping family's side." ”
His words fell, and a sharp whistling came from ahead, and a rain of arrows broke through the air.
The flame of the insects flashed and changed instantly, enveloping Yan Mao in a large array of front, back, left and right.
Ambush? Yan Mao's expression was not the slightest surprise under the firelight, and of course there was no disdain, every enemy deserves respect, and respect for them is to kill them mercilessly.
The rain of arrows did not pounce, and fell in mid-air as if hitting an iron wall, and a shout came from ahead: "Is it Lord Xiang?" ”
At the same time, the fire lit up, and the flag of Longyou swayed.
It turned out to be his own person, and the two fires converged.
"My lord, someone has come to save the Ping clan." Without waiting for Xiang Yun to ask why they appeared in the dense forest and attacked, the general led by him dismounted and hurriedly explained, "They didn't succeed, we chased them here, thinking that the enemy and the party came to respond." ”
Sure enough, there was a fellow party, Xiang Yun's face changed slightly, of course he was not afraid of the same party: "Can there be a living escape?" ”
The general leaned over: "No, kill them all." He reached out and pointed back, "No one has stepped out of this dense forest." ”
The horseshoe armor roared and the fire was fierce, Yan Mao walked over the soldiers and horses to the front, looking at this open space after fierce battles, weapons scattered, blood seeped into the black soil, and broken limbs were scattered among the dead bodies.
There weren't too many dead bodies, but the deaths were tragic.
Those who can escape here are the most powerful, and the most powerful are also the most ferocious in battle.
"Your Excellency." The general ran to the middle and pointed to one of the corpses, which was facing downwards with half of its neck cut off, "This person is the first offender." ”
Xiang Yun stepped forward, Yan Mao didn't move, watched Xiang Yun walk towards the corpse, and suddenly threw the knife in his hand over, the long knife broke through the air and tore open the night wind, making a hoarse whistling, Xiang Yun turned around, the knife light reflected on his face with some surprise, but the person didn't make the slightest movement, watching the long knife fly and slash over his head......
The scream sounded from behind, a corpse with a broken leg bounced up in the blood, the eyes that were originally closed opened, reached out to hold the long knife inserted in the chest, and fell back with two sounds, this time it was a real dead body, and his eyes were round.
Yan Mao strode past Xiang Yun and walked in front of the corpse.
The general drew his knife in a loud roar on the side: "Re-examine the corpse." ”
The officers and soldiers responded in unison, spreading their weapons into the field and stabbing their weapons into the dead bodies.
Yan Mao held the knife and looked down at the corpse in front of him, with a stunned expression and a sneer: "It's this kind of trick again....."
The dead man was willing to be killed, keeping a breath, and taking the opportunity to kill when people came to check, Li Fengan died under this kind of trick, and he fought against the wind and waves all his life, and finally fell into the hands of the gutter villain, which made people suffocate.
Behind him, Xiang Yun approached, accompanied by a sigh: "Yes, it turned out to be this kind of trick again, but this kind of trick is also the most useful." ”
Death to the Grand Duke! I see! Yan Mao's body was cold, and the chill condensed in his neck.
A short sword came from behind.
Yan Mao killed the enemy immediately with a long knife, a handsome flag set the Quartet, the sword and the flag faced thousands of troops and horses, there has never been an opponent, but who in the world can beat the sword behind him?
With a snort, the not-sharp green dagger pierced his throat, and blood spurted out like rain, drowning the face of the dead-eyed corpse beneath his feet.
