Chapter 15: Zheng Hong
In the early morning, hoarfrost is spread in the mountains and forests, spread on the low grass, and all of them are rushing to bloom.
In a meadow three hundred miles away from Shangjing, twenty strong soldiers were already wearing all kinds of flowers on their heads. Hiding in the grass in order not to be noticed, Luan Jing sat in the wet grass and looked at the sky, she was dressed in black corset, and her face was smeared with some dust, because her skin was too white and tender to look like a man. Estimate the time. Then he looked at the scattered soldiers behind him and said, "Everyone are ready, the army will arrive in two quarters of an hour." ”
When everyone heard this, they all began to hide in the bushes, for fear of being exposed, because Luan Jing knew in advance that in this wood, the army transferred by the king from Liuzhou would stop here for a few minutes, so he had already laid an ambush in advance.
Liuzhou is the closest state to Shangjing, and the military strength is also the strongest among the states. Because of Li Yu's unauthorized departure, the 7,000 troops who were previously stationed in Shangjing have been demoted and sent to various wilderness. It's just that they have not been sent away yet. When the soldiers were captured, there was no one to garrison, so it was necessary to send troops from Liuzhou to garrison.
Half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves approaching from afar. Soon I saw a middle-aged man in black armor sitting on a handsome black horse, always grinning at the corners of his mouth, and seemed to be very happy. Luan Jing recognized him, he was Li Yu's best friend Zheng Hong, and he set a trap to make Li Yu fall like this. Luan Jing couldn't help but feel cold, but the closest person became the most dangerous person. I don't know if it's because people are cold, or if Zheng Hong is too ruthless.
Then behind Zheng Hong were five young men who were sitting on war horses like him, about twenty years old. Two of them were a little handsome, and the other three were a little inappropriate. The army behind followed suit, but everyone had a look of exhaustion on their faces.
"General, take a rest here, the soldiers are almost out of it. A handsome man on the far left said to Zheng Hong at the front.
Zheng Hong glanced behind him and saw that the soldiers were all moving slowly, and their faces were full of exhaustion. Then he raised his hand and said loudly: "Soldiers, take a moment's rest." Let's all stop and take a break with a saliva. When the words fell, everyone seemed to be liberated, and they were looking for a place to sit in twos and threes.
The army was 8,000 people, and because of the large number of people, they sat a little far away. Luan Jing divided the twenty elite soldiers into four groups and acted separately.
Luan Jing led five elite soldiers to the rest point of the soldiers in the lower area. Because the soldiers were exhausted, their vigilance and combat effectiveness had dropped dramatically. Luan Jing saw two soldiers humming a song. Somewhat happy, he ordered two elite soldiers to cover their mouths and noses and make them faint. So he changed into the clothes of the soldiers and returned to the rest point.
Luan Jing took the next three people to the four soldiers who were alone in the distance, and the four soldiers fell asleep silently. The four of them changed the soldiers' clothes. Drag the soldiers deep into the mountains and forests.
An hour later, several loud, shocking voices shouted. "It's time to go!"
Everyone obediently got up and continued on their way. Luan Jing and the twenty elite soldiers she brought with her also successfully entered the team.
The road is a little long, and the walk is a little slow. The third day has passed, and there are still a hundred miles to go.
At dusk, Zheng Hong led people to set up camp at the 'junction'. This is the most important place to set up camp, because of the terrain, it is a good hill place, if the Assassins come, they can have a defense, evasion and attack.
Location, people. It seems that only the time is left.
When everyone went to sleep, Luan Jing blew incense outside Zheng Hong's tent, in order to make sure that he could not get up in the middle of the night.
A few minutes later, twenty-one people gathered outside the tent, and Luan Jing stretched out two fingers to signal the two to move separately, so Luan Jing was left alone to enter Zheng Hong's tent.
On the bed, a middle-aged man snored with a soft expression and slept soundly, occasionally turning over a few times. Luan Jing began to search his tent, and she remembered that he had put the letter on his body. But I searched through almost everything but I couldn't find it.
When she was melancholy, she could only stare at Zheng Hong to make up her mind on him, and gradually, she found that Zheng Hong's sleeping little finger would move intentionally or unintentionally. At the same time, his other hand seemed to be flatteringly raising his index finger.
Luan Jing stepped forward to look at his hand, but he didn't see anything, but when he was leaving, he accidentally kicked the bed where Zheng Hong was sleeping, which was a wood to be precise.
It's empty, and it seems like there's a lot of space. Luan Jingfu bent down to knock, but it was really empty, so she excitedly knocked on the bed board elsewhere, but it was painful, it was solid wood. Luan Jing came back curiously and happily and knocked twice,
He took out the short dagger from his waist and knocked it open under the bed, and inside was a black wooden box, but his lock was very different from the usual one, it was made up of three small beads, which could be turned and had a number attached to it.
"1, 1, 1" can't be opened.
Yu Jiaojian saw Zheng Hong's fingers move again, Luan Jing suddenly remembered that he knew something, and looked at the fingers of the man on the bed with some joy on his face.
"5, 7, 2" is still not open.
Maybe it came along with it. She was a little nervous and turned the beads again. The numbers "1, 7, 2" correspond to the main cover after her kickback. The box opened.
Inside are some secret letters from Zheng Hong and Yadan people. Luan Jing opened it and looked at it, a little pleased, and casually took away a letter written by Zheng Hong and not very important.
Lisuo set up his things, and when he came out of the tent, the other twenty elite soldiers also came one after another. They walked into a small hill not far from the crowd.
"How's it going?" Luan Jing asked, looking at them.
Everyone replied, "It's all set up." ”
"Okay, let's go back. ”
The white light penetrated the earth, and the sky began to slowly turn white. The frosty ice hits the branches, and the breeze caresses the smoke and dissipates the fog.
"Are you ready?" the five generals said loudly to the soldiers under their respective jurisdictions.
"Yes!" the crowd was stunned. Luan Jing kept his head down, carefully following behind the army.
For some reason, a soldier next to him suddenly asked, "Why are you so good-looking, why haven't I seen you in the past few days?"
Luan Jing pulled his throat and said, "I was originally in the front, but today I came to the back with an upset stomach." ”
"Oh, is that so?" Then the soldier smiled again: "It's okay, it's almost time to get to the city, and you can eat some cooked meals when you get to the city." ”
The soldiers thought that Luan Jing was because they were uncomfortable eating dry food these days, and because the water was very cold, it was easy to cool their stomachs. Luan Jing smiled awkwardly and nodded.
A hundred miles, for the rapid pace of the army, the day's work has arrived, and the next morning has arrived in Shangjing. The soldiers at the city gate simply took out the token and opened the city gate very friendly. He was then taken to the barracks for a short rest. Luan Jing and the two soldiers took the opportunity to escape from the brigade when they turned the corner, and took off their coats in one of the four corners. I went to the store and bought a few sets of brocade clothes to wear.
At noon, the three of them had already found an inn to stay. "Yuelai Restaurant" is the largest restaurant in Beijing, although it is a restaurant, but it can live people.
Luan Jing asked the shop for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the three of them discussed in the room.
"This is General Zheng's handwriting, which of you can copy it?" Luan Jing asked as he looked at the two people in front of him.
"I, I'll come. A handsome soldier sat on a chair, picked up a brush and looked at Zheng Hong's handwriting and tried to copy.
Half the afternoon, Luan Jing sat on the table and watched the man write, while the other went to put the marker.
Tomorrow, Li Yu will be escorted to Shangjing, and this is the only chance to sneak into the palace, so the plan will be deployed tonight.
Finally, when he was in the child, Luanjing's eyes lit up. Because the handwriting of the man in front of him finally wrote Zheng Hong's handwriting like nothing else.
The man glanced at the mirror, and both of them looked at each other with a smile and nodded. Then he took off a new piece of paper and wrote. "I have entered the capital to garrison, and now I am leading 8,000 troops, and when I capture the talisman, the Geya army can attack the city in one fell swoop!" ’
Luan Jing looked at the few lines of words and nodded, his face calm.
At noon, the army was slowly being escorted to Shangjing, and the people in the large streets were forced to put away their stalls and enter the houses. Some naughty children climbed up to the attic to watch, and some stood in front of their own houses to watch.
Luan Jing replaced a soldier behind the tail of the army, and Lisuo changed his clothes and followed.
Everyone was also walking well, when suddenly a man came running, looking a little ugly, carefully penetrating into the crowd and taking the opportunity to leave.
"Wait a minute!" a general saw that the sneaky man was walking extremely abnormally.
The man's steps began to be nervous, and after a few moments, he quickly ran to the direction of the city gate, and the general threw away the scabbard in his hand. The man was knocked to the ground.
"Bring him to me!" the words were cold and intimidating.
So, the man also joined the brigade.
At the palace, Luan Jing followed his memory to Weiyang Palace, that is, the emperor's residence, and had changed to look like a eunuch.
Everyone entered the prison unsurprisingly, and only Luan Jing was alone in the palace.
"Grandpa Li, Grandpa Li. The man in the room sat on the throne in a yellow robe and kept shouting.
Chirping!
Luan Jing pushed the door in, stomped his head down and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Did General Mo arrive in Shangjing yesterday?" The words were a little rough and weak.
"Yes, the soldiers have been working on it for a day. I wonder when the king summoned General Zheng?" Luan Jing asked, bowing his head.
Wang Shang Mo Wenli looked at the folds on the table, and frowned slightly. Then he said, "Summons immediately." ”
"Yes. Luan Jing lowered his head and turned to leave. The emperor saw that she had narrow shoulders and a thin figure. Then he said, "Stop!"
Luan Jing was a little nervous, only a few steps, and a few steps out of the door. I only heard Mo Wenli say again: "Turn around." ”
Luan Jing's heart was so anxious that he stopped in place for a few seconds, and finally turned around slowly after calming down.
