Chapter 750: Clearing
Luming Pass is a pass, and all the people living here are soldiers, so the accommodation conditions in the pass are not much better, so even if the place where Rong Guifei and the others settle is the most comfortable place in Luming Pass-the residence in the back hall of Huwei Hall, which is specially prepared for the county guard to occasionally inspect Luming Pass, it seems that the conditions are still a little simpler.
The residence is a small courtyard, with four rooms, two bedrooms, a dining room, and a side hall, there are two trees planted in the small courtyard with a little flowers, and there are some ordinary furniture in the room, which is slightly better than the tent, but it is simple compared to the better inn, Zhou Shouren used to live here to make a show, and he came to visit for half a year and a year, and since it was a show, it would naturally not be too gorgeous, so as not to let the defenders of Guanzhong gossip.
The place where Yan Liqiang saw Rong Guifei and them was in the side hall of that small courtyard, not only Rong Guifei and Duanfei were there, but even Princess Anping was there.
The five women sat in the side hall, their eyes widened, and they listened to Yan Liqiang tell the cause and effect of today's victory.
After Yan Liqiang finished speaking, even Princess Anping's face turned a little white, and the faces of the other Duan concubines, Rui concubines and Yi concubines were all full of fear and fear, only Rong Guifei looked a little calmer on the surface, but one of her hands in the sleeve had already pinched the sweat of one hand.
"So, if we were deceived by that Luquan County Guard today, leaving Luming Pass and entering Gaoyi County, wouldn't it be equivalent to stepping into the Ghost Gate Pass, waiting to be ambushed and killed......" Concubine Rong opened her mouth, and there was a cold air in her voice, "Lord Yan said that the Luquan County Overseer brought at least about 5,000 men, almost ten times as many as ours, in this case, this little bit of people in our team, even if there are masters like Lord Yan and Elder Liu, others will not be spared......"
Yan Liqiang nodded, "Yes, since that Zhou Shouren wants to make a move, he will naturally be well prepared and will not give us any chance, generally speaking, in a dangerous place, being ambushed by ten times the troops, as long as there is no major accident, it is basically all annihilated, and it is difficult to be lucky!"
"It's really a ruthless trick, yesterday I heard that the county guard sent someone to send melons and fruit wine, and I thought he really wanted us to go over!" Concubine Duan said fearfully behind her chest, "That Zhou Shouren is too bold, how dare he do this......"
Concubine Duan's figure was originally graceful, especially the chest was high and straight, she patted her chest like this, and it was like hiding two big jellies under her chest, trembling and shaking a few times, so that Yan Liqiang couldn't help but look at it twice, Yan Liqiang found that Rong Guifei's action of patting her chest should have been learned from Concubine Duan.
Seeing Concubine Rong's eyes glaring at her, Yan Liqiang hurriedly looked away, "This...... Zhou Shouren didn't know that your mother and the two highnesses were in the convoy, and he was afraid that we would find an opportunity to take revenge on him after leaving Luquan County, so he naturally wanted to take risks and kill us, and he could avenge his son!"
"This time, thanks to Lord Yan, we were able to escape death again, but we are still living here tonight, will there be a problem?" Concubine Yi also said worriedly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, rest assured, the father and son of the Zhou family and their henchmen have been ambushed, and the ordinary sergeants and officers in this Luming Pass are not guilty, since they already know my identity, they don't dare to think about it anymore, a few ladies have a good rest in this courtyard tonight, everything has me!"
Yan Liqiang's confident and calm demeanor, in the eyes of several women, made several women's eyes flash and feel at ease.
"Then can we leave this Luming Pass tomorrow?" asked Rong Guifei.
"As long as the Overseers of Luquan County return with their men and horses tonight, we will rest in this pass for one night, and we can leave early tomorrow morning!"
"Do you have to leave tomorrow?" Concubine Rong frowned, and said with some stubbornness, "This palace stays here, I don't feel well, I don't want to stay in this place for a moment, if we wait for that Xiong Siwu to come back with the troops, can we leave tonight, even if we find a place to camp in Gaoyi County, it's better than staying here!"
"Sister is right, I also feel uncomfortable in this Luming Pass, if I can leave tonight, then it is best to leave tonight, even if I walk at night, it doesn't matter!" Concubine Rui also said with deep sympathy.
Concubine Duan, Concubine Yi and Princess Anping next to her all nodded.
Yan Liqiang also felt a little strange, now in this Luming Pass, what else is there to be afraid of, he read the snake move, and instantly understood, the scene at the Luming Pass before did scare a few women, and there are four high walls in this Luming Pass, as soon as a few women come here, they think of the deep palace forbidden courtyard in the imperial capital, and they always feel that they are trapped here, surrounded by tigers and wolves, and they can't go anywhere, and the psychological pressure is extremely high, so they don't want to stay for a moment.
"Since the ladies don't want to stay here longer, then let's go tonight, catch up for a night walk, and find another place to settle in Gaoyi County!"
Hearing Yan Liqiang say this, several women breathed a sigh of relief, and Concubine Rong nodded, "I hope that Xiong Siwu can come back soon, and we can also leave for the road earlier!"
"Niangniang, don't worry, Xiong Siwu led his troops to enter Gaoyi County in disguise to set up an ambush, and he will not leave Luming Pass too far, if it is too far, he will bring more people, and the movement will be too big, and the chance of being discovered by the local government of Gaoyi County will also be greater, so I am sure that before dark tonight, Xiong Siwu will definitely come back!"
"Lord Yan saved us again today, and the palace doesn't know how to thank Lord Yan!" Concubine Rong's beautiful big eyes fell on Yan Liqiang's body again, full of affection.
Yan Liqiang tried not to make eye contact with Concubine Rong, and his face was still serious, "This is my responsibility!"
"Well, at the moment, everything is simple on the road, and when you arrive in Jinzhou, this palace will think about how to thank Lord Yan, and I hope that Lord Yan will stop being modest and shirk when the time comes, merit is not rewarded, and it is not the rule of the Han Empire!" Rong Guifei said with concern.
Hearing Concubine Rong Guifei say that she wanted to think about how to thank herself, Yan Liqiang's careful liver couldn't help but tremble twice......
......
Everything was as Yan Liqiang expected, they just waited in Luming Pass for an afternoon, and when the sun was about to set, the official road on the side of Luming Pass on the side of Gaoyi County was suddenly noisy, and Sima Qingshan really came back with Xiong Siwu, the overseer of Luquan County.
Standing at the juncture of Luming Pass, Yan Liqiang and Liu Xi and a few others watched Xiong Siwu take the people back to the pass, Liu Xi and a few others all hissed and gasped.
Xiong Siwu led more than 5,000 people, more than two battalions of soldiers and horses, an infantry battalion, a cavalry battalion, and two battalions of men and horses with strong bows and crossbows.
"I'm X......" Liu Xitong couldn't help but curse, "Damn, this is too ruthless, these big guys have all used it, if we really fall into his ambush, it is estimated that except for adults, who can survive!"
Meng Hui wiped the cold sweat on his head, "Fortunately this time, my lord, we passed another level!"
Seeing these people coming, Yan Liqiang ordered the door to be opened, letting Xiong Siwu and Sima Qingshan come in, and after a while, Sima Qingshan took Xiong Siwu to the pass.
That Xiong Siwu was really tall and tall, like an iron tower, and when he saw this person approaching, at first glance he thought it was a big black bear wearing armor and came over.
But don't look at Xiong Siwu's appearance of being five big and three coarse, this person's mind is indeed extremely clear, as soon as he saw Yan Liqiang, he bowed heavily to Yan Liqiang, and shouted in his mouth, "Thanks to Lord Yan, I eradicated the two traitors of the Zhou family, father and son, and exposed Zhou Shouren's treacherous schemes, otherwise I would have been deceived by Zhou Huairen today, and almost followed them into an irreparable mistake!"
"Lord Xiong, please get up, Lord Xiong, please get up!" Yan Liqiang also smiled and helped Xiong Siwu up, "All this is a conspiracy and trickery made up by Zhou Shouren with ill intentions, what does it have to do with Lord Xiong!"
Xiong Siwu took advantage of the situation and stood up, scolding with righteous indignation, " That Zhou Shouren was really not a thing, he actually deceived me, saying that there was a team of bandits of the White Lotus Sect disguised as the people of the Imperial Front Ma Bu Division to pass through the Luming Pass, and let me lead the troops to set up an ambush outside the pass to exterminate the chaos of the White Lotus Sect, if I knew that the person Zhou Shouren wanted to ambush was the family and relatives of Lord Yan and Lord Jinzhou Thorn Shi Luo, and wanted to push me into the fire pit, I would have cut off the head of that dog thing at that time, Lord Yan can be regarded as a big harm for our Luquan County today......
"Don't worry, Lord Xiong, in a few days, Lord Luo will definitely contact Lord Guzhou Thorn Shi Chen to explain today's matter, in the next few days, the situation in Luquan County can only be asked to Lord Xiong to take care of the host!"
Xiong Siwu's eyes lit up, eagerly holding Yan Liqiang's arm, with a smile on his face, "Lord Yan's name is really like thunder, I have heard it a long time ago, when I saw Lord Yan today, I only felt like I was old at first sight, I will have a good drink with Lord Yan tonight, Lord Yan is the first grandmaster of the way of the Han Empire, I still want to ask Lord Yan for advice!"
"I'm afraid it won't work today, I have to be in the body, I can't delay for half a moment, I'm just waiting here to meet with Lord Xiong, talk about things, since Lord Xiong is back, then I will set off on the road immediately, let's come to Japan for a long time, if there is a chance, I must have a drink with Lord Xiong!"
"Since Lord Yan has something to do, I don't dare to delay, then let's talk about it, and we will have a chance to get drunk again in the future!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
The two of them looked at it and both laughed.
A few minutes later, Yan Liqiang left Luming Pass with the team again, and Xiong Siwu also led a team of people to send Yan Liqiang and them out of the customs for ten miles before returning.
Watching Xiong Siwu lead the team back, Sima Qingyi looked at Yan Liqiang with a blank eye, "Your Excellency, ......"
Yan Liqiang, who was riding on the colorful clouds chasing the moon, glanced at him, smiled slightly, and only said one sentence, "Do you know the nearest road from here to Jinju!"
"I know all the roads and mountains of the entire Han Empire, I don't know what the adults want to ask?" Sima Qingshan replied with some apprehension.
"If you know, lead the way!"
Sima Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "Thank you, my lord!"
Yan Liqiang squinted his eyes and looked at this "good bird", "You will slowly know the rules around me, in the final analysis, it is to do your duty, you think about it, within the duty of Jinshan Yinshan rich future, outside the duty is the Daoshan oil pot will not recover, you understand!"
"My subordinates understand, please rest assured!"
"Let's go......"
