"Oh, yes, it's really a wise man's thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info "Of course, we won't discuss the gap between Mengyuan's intelligence and a real wise man, but just say that after landing on the shore, he looked at the mountain where dozens of rosewood boxes were piled up, and his eyebrows were tied in a big knot.
After receiving an exact reply, Meng Yuan did not hesitate to release the answer code that had been prepared a long time ago, which was a dark blue firework that shot into the sky. After seeing the mark, two heavy carriages, driven by two middle-aged people, quickly drove over. Each carriage had a coachman and two guards wearing iron-topped hats, with long knives at their waists, and they looked very energetic.
What really made Meng Yuan dumbfounded was the number of packages in Zhu Cui's family.
After all, it is a royal family, even if it is to flee, it is not trivial.
There were a whole eighteen rosewood boxes, and the black pressure was piled up, and the Shen Niangniang was wearing a purple and red satin suit, sitting on a rattan chair next to the box, and Xinfeng was also wearing a short shawl, standing neatly beside the Niangniang.
"Little three and four, go to the dock and buy two sturdy cars, you must be able to load more goods, don't want a coachman, pay attention to checking, don't let people do anything. Put the box on when you get back. ”
"Little Wangye, Niangniang, and Xinfeng, Gong Mama, you get on the second carriage, Ma, Du two, stand on the outside to guard, Xiaoyi, you pay attention to the roof and the back of the car. Lao Li, you drive, be steady.
"Princess, you will be the first car, Xiao Er, you will get on the roof of the car in a while, pay attention to the back of the car, Uncle Shi will be the guard, Lao Wang, you will drive. Xiao Er, you get in the car with me first, I have something to tell you. ”
The two heavy carriages in front of everyone were not ordinary carriages, they were ironclad chariots designed by Meng Yuan himself, and the body was made of iron plates, but the surface was covered with a thin layer of wooden planks to camouflage. The whole carriage looks like a coffin on the outside, but there is a different trick inside, the space is almost twice that of an ordinary carriage, and it has five people's water and food for three days, and there are two strong crossbows and two short guns in terms of weapons, and on both sides of the iron plate are placed shooting holes for strong crossbows, and thin grooves for short spear stabbing, and a place is arranged on the roof for one person to sit upright, equipped with a glaive knife. The wheels were covered with soft leather and protected by iron sheets, and even the healthy horses pulling the carts were equipped with hard leather vests. Each carriage is equipped with a senior coachman, who is good at driving and agile. Two guards, good at using long weapons such as crossbows and knives and guns. The cost of any carriage reached tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there were two rudders at each city level, which were used by the two heads of administration and intelligence (orange emblem). The coachman and the guards are all disciples of the Red Emblem.
This time, when the princess and her party were escorted from the dock to the rudder, Meng Yuan did not hesitate to pull out the two chariots, but the eighteen boxes made him have to send two guards to temporarily purchase two carriages for use.
"Report, both wagons have been inspected, and there are no anomalies."
"Very good, Meng Yuan's voice came from the first car, you each have a carriage, one in front and one behind, and you are allowed to abandon the car if necessary."
"Princess, get in the car, it's the right time, it should be the safest time." On the first heavy ironclad carriage, Meng Yuan commanded.
Zhu Cui looked at the guards and Mengyuan who had climbed onto the roof of the car and stood in the guard position on one side with some surprise, but didn't say anything thoughtfully, just walked quickly into the carriage.
The distance between the front and rear of each carriage is five zhang, and the distance between the two ironclad carriages in the middle is half a zhang, and the speed of the diamond-shaped convoy is not fast, but it is amazingly stable, and the distance between the four carriages is like being measured with a ruler, and it has not changed since the beginning.
It is a road along the river, with a tall elm forest on one side and water on the other. It was late afternoon, and there were not many people on the road, only a few carriages, running unhurriedly.
"Princess, there are two carriages, which have been following us." Shi Yinzhou bowed his head slightly and said to Zhu Cui in the window on one side.
"Don't bother with it, Mr. Dream has a point." Zhu Cui looked at the man with a hat standing outside the window and responded.
"It's not strange that they're coming, it's strange if they don't." Meng Yuan's voice sounded beside the two: "If you don't give them enough suffering, how can you make them give up the goal of waiting for many days." ”
"Have you done a fight with them?"
"That's nature, my island belongs, how can there be a cowardly crowd." Meng Yuan's voice was full of calm.
While the two were chatting, the two carriages gradually picked up, one left and one right, and caught up with the big cart that fell behind.
Almost as agreed, the speed of the three cars in front slowed down slightly, and the car in the back had already caught up with the distance. When the two cars chased after them, the original two-on-one had become three-on-two.
One of the handlebars on the two cars was a shriveled little old man, and the other was a green-faced man with a hideous face.
"Hey" looked at the carriage that was about to crash into front of it. The little old man, with a flick of the whip in his hand, made two circles out of thin air, and put it on the young man in the car behind, while the blue-faced man on the other side simply pulled out a big knife with a cold light and slashed it.
The young man was unhurried. There was an iron rod in both hands almost at the same time. The blue-faced man in his left hand opened a single knife, and the iron rod in his right hand stretched out, making the whip strong.
The cold light was great, starting from the top of the two heavy carriages, and the two glaive long knives cut out two fan-like cold lights. Towards these two people, the skillfulness of that kind of cooperation is as if it has been practiced thousands of times.
The little old man's skills are extraordinary, and he was able to turn over to the side of the car with a single bone by this sudden knife, and the knife only cut off the head of the horse driving the cart, and the neck was full of blood.
His companion was not so lucky, the man on the roof of the carriage in front of him seemed to be a step stronger than the knife hand that the little old man had encountered, this knife was fierce and fast, the blade slashed, the head flew up, and the head was actually cut off with a single sword.
At this time, I saw that the two young men in the front and rear cars took the iron rod in their hands at the same time, and then looked at the four people in the car, they were actually each with a zhang six long knife, and an invisible murderous aura rose from the four people, and the momentum was not like a strong man in the martial arts, but more like a fierce general on the battlefield.
The little old man fell to the ground, his eyes straightened when he saw this scene, he put two fingers into his mouth, and whistled vigorously, but he didn't have the courage to rush up again.
"It's the sound of horses' hooves." Shi Yinzhou's face changed, and he looked ahead, but he saw the smoke and dust billowing from the official road in front of him, and there were hundreds of fast horses rushing towards the four carriages.
"Change formation, assault." Fang had just slashed the blue-faced man's car with a knife, and the sound of Meng Yuan came from the car, and then, each car in the march went diagonally towards the right front for two feet, and the original diamond-shaped car formation suddenly turned into a triangle. The two baggage wagons on the left and right sandwiched the other heavy armored carriage slightly behind in the middle.
At the same time, the position of the driver of the two cars, as well as the position of the knife hand on the roof, were turned up with two fine iron baffles. Protecting most of the knife hand and the coachman's body, as long as he leans down slightly, he can hide his whole body behind the iron plate.
Looking at the positions of the guards on both sides of the car, in the hands of the four guards, they actually raised a military repeater, and the sharp arrows pointed far ahead.
Although the two horses on the heavy carriage were not good horses, they were also military horses that had passed through the battle formation, but they turned a blind eye to the galloping momentum of the hundreds of horses of the enemy group in front of them.
Like a sharp blade cutting through the tide, the four-man convoy rushed forward. The four long knives swirled like windmills, and the knights were not allowed to get close. They had to rush from both sides of the convoy and then turn around to catch up, like a pack of vicious wolves surrounded by four fierce tigers.
Zhu Cui looked out, the other party was huge, and he didn't know how many people came. In short, each knight wore a high hat on his head and a dark mantle. These two illustrate the identity of the person who came, the royal guard from Ouchi.
This scene is very ridiculous, although the people who came were crowded, they seemed to be underprepared, and most of the weapons they prepared were sabers and the like, compared to the long knives and crossbows of Mengyuan and his party, and the heavily armored chariots, they were actually powerless to block, so that the convoy rushed out of Erli.
"Waste"
Suddenly there were a white, two, black and three horsemen in front of him, and the two black horsemen and horses went to the side and blocked the road, and an old man in purple on the white horse snorted angrily, and the surrounding noise seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, and down, only the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of cattle was left.
As if sensing the old man's astonishing momentum, the convoy finally stopped. The hundred and ten knights wrapped up the four carts from behind.
"Whoosh" four sounds, but the four chariots fired a crossbow arrow in unison, straight in front of the knight's horses in front, startled, the horses raised their front hooves, almost lifting off the knight on their back.
"On the orders of the princess, you wait for the minions, and Hugh is noisy. The head of the front, come up and answer. Shi Yin raised his breath and shouted loudly.
The three horsemen went straight on and on, and did not stop until they reached the carriage four feet away in front of them.
I saw a figure in his fifties wearing a shining brass crown and a purple cloak sitting on each side of the black horse, and the two gold stars on the placket of his chest were shining, indicating their superior status.
The old man in the middle, needless to say, is the real leader of this team. He looks like he's about seventy years old. Thin face, high cheekbones, eyes as slender as lines, half-squinted, with a few obvious wrinkles on the face.
He wore a certain purple satin hat on his head, two ribbons hanging down to his shoulders, a piece of flawless white jade inlaid in front of the hat, a purple robe with large sleeves, and a jade belt around his waist.
The old man snorted in his nose and said in a deep voice: "This seat Cao Yu, the commander of the inner factory, the eunuch Liu Gonggong, Ma Gonggong, and Gu Gonggong jointly issued a joint edict to clear the whole family of the King of Poyang who was planning to rebel, Xie Jing was tried, and Princess Poyang was invited to answer in person."
I saw that the person on the roof of the carriage for the head of the carriage had pulled some kind of bracket, and a skylight opened on the roof, revealing Zhu Cui's figure. She condescended, carefully looked at this lifelong enemy, and sneered: "Cao Yu, I have heard of it, I know that there is such a person as you, you lead this group of rabble, blocking the road, what do you have to say." ”
Cao Yu tilted his head slightly, obviously this posture of looking up made him very uncomfortable. Even with a lot of bad mood, he stretched out two hands and arched the arch. "It turned out that His Royal Highness was in person, Cao was disrespectful, the old man gave an edict, not to be private, please Your Highness will leave here and go to Beijing with the old man to be tried."
Zhu Cui sneered: "Commandment? It turns out that Admiral Cao came this time, but he was given a holy decree, may I ask where the holy decree is? ”
Cao Yu was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Highness will be mistaken, the old man is talking about the handwritten edict of the three fathers-in-law." ”
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a copper-crowned purple-clothed Zhuang Su on his right immediately dismounted, untied the yellow silk tie on his chest with both hands, and presented a roll of warrants behind his back with both hands.
Cao Yu snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to take it, shook it away, held his hands up and down, and read word by word.
"Zhu Baochen, the king of Poyang, and Zhu Ningfan, the king of Anhua, who rebelled before, said that they were good friends, and they had been in contact for many years, plotting to rebel, and the evidence of the crime had been dictated by the traitor king. The eunuch of the ceremonial rite, Liu Jin of the 12th regimental battalion, the governor of the left, Gu Dayong, the governor of the right capital, and the governor of the right prison, Ma Yongchengyin. ”
Cao Yu finished reading the warrant in a straight voice, and sneered: "Your Highness heard clearly, the old man is called being ordered, and if there is something offended, please be more considerate of Your Highness."
He swept a few carriages and sneered: "If the old man didn't guess wrong, Shen Niangniang and Zhu Pan, the heir of the prince of Poyang, are probably in the carriage, very good, in the wilderness, things happened in a hurry, and it was too late to hire another car to drive for a while, even if the old man requisitioned these cars, please Niangniang and Princess Wang still drive the original car!" ”
He regarded everything as a matter of course, and did not care whether the other party was willing to listen or not, nor did he give Zhu Cui a chance to speak. But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter from the car.
