Chapter 135: Ambush
Xiaobai came out of the son's angry mansion. The angry man still laughed and sent Xiaobai out of the door. After Xiaobai said goodbye to him, he got into his carriage.
Xiaobai's dozen samurai retinues also got into the chariots behind. Two chariots escorted Xiaobai's carriage and walked back.
Xiaobai walked while looking at the roofs of the houses on both sides. He was thinking, where is Xu Feng? Will the angry man do it tonight?
Xiaobai felt that it was very likely that an angry person would make a move, and that Cheng Dong obviously had murderous intent. It's just that when he toasted him later, he seemed to be a little touched, and I don't know why.
I hope I can escape this catastrophe, Xiaobai thought.
The man in the carriage with him suddenly spoke, "Childe, I see that the passer-by is going to do it, you be careful..."
"I wore a gold silk soft armor that someone gave me, and this armor is invulnerable... If I can dodge a fatal kill, I can turn the tables around. If the angry man dares to do this, his father is still alive, and he will definitely not stand idly by..."Xiaobai said.
Panren suddenly woke up, and it turned out that Xiaobai had also taken all kinds of precautions. His daily behavior may be deliberately showing weakness, or he may be luring angry people to make moves.
"Don't worry, Childe, you'll be fine here. I don't know how the sudden fatal blow will come, and that's the most worrying thing..."Pan Ren said.
"It's okay, Pan people, we've worked hard. Doesn't it say that it is up to man to make things happen... Today, I am Xiaobai for the common people of Chu, and I am willing to take risks for the sake of the ancestors of the past generations... If you can't deal with your own brothers, do you still have to deal with those wolf-like princes in the world? Aren't they trying to tear apart my Chu country at any time and rob the men and women here of their wealth and land? I can't even deal with angry people, how can I protect them? Xiaobai said lightly.
"Yes, Childe is mighty," Panren said.
Panren thought that he had become the personal attendant of the son from a slave at the end of the road, wasn't he the little white boy who knew people with his eyes.
I think that when I was in my hometown, because a wicked person bullied his family, he killed the wicked man in a fight in a fit of rage. He was caught by the government, and his whole family was beheaded.
However, Gongzi Xiaobai inadvertently inspected his hometown, and he saw his case when he was reviewing the files of the condemned prisoners. He sensed something was wrong, and he interrogated himself. In the end, he justly acquitted himself according to the law.
Since then, Gongzi Xiaobai has taken himself with him as an attendant, and he has repaid himself, and finally won the trust of Xiaobai Gongzi.
Now that the son is in trouble, he will definitely repay the favor with death.
Pan people quietly looked at the surrounding houses. He knew that there was one place that was very dangerous, and that was the Hero Archway. It was surrounded by tall sacrificial halls, and there were no people. If Childe is angry and wants to ambush Xiaobai, that is the best place to ambush.
"Childe, I think the archway of the hero is our biggest danger tonight, you see how to do it..."Pan Ren said.
"I want to think about it... If we want to divide our forces now, it will be too late. What if the other person isn't there? There were only a dozen of us. When I went out, I sent someone to tell General Wang, who had a good relationship with me, the garrison of the capital, to send someone to stand guard on my way back to my home tonight. I also focused on telling him about the archway of heroes. I seem to have seen some samurai patrolling the road just now, and it should be his people. Xiaobai said.
"Alright then, I hope everything goes well," Pan said.
At this moment, on the roof on the side of the road they were marching, a person was walking incognito, and that was Xu Feng.
Xu Feng knew that those angry warriors had gone to a place, and he had already told Bing'er and Meng'er to let them follow them. Xu Feng himself followed the child's Xiaobai team. The reason why he walked on a high place was because Xu Feng wanted to see the situation in front of him in advance.
Xiaobai's convoy went all the way and was about to arrive at the archway of the heroes. A huge stone torii stands here, and on both sides of the stone torii is the dynasty sacrificial hall and some outbuildings.
There are no lights here, and it is cold. On the roofs of those halls and in the shadows around them, there were many warriors, all of whom were the disciples of the Great Prince. Behind the sacrificial hall, there were many samurai, all wearing regular military uniforms and armor.
The leader of those people was General Wang, the general of the garrison of the capital. General Wang rode his horse and stood there motionless. His ears remembered his conversation with the angry prince.
"General Wang, don't forget who promoted you from a small partial general to the general of the Chengdu City Garrison..."
"I know, it was ordered by the angry prince. Although in order not to be exposed, you deliberately asked General Zhang of the former Military Administration to do this. But Wang Meng knew that all this was what the eldest prince meant. Wang Meng said.
"You're sensible and you're smart. I asked you to deliberately get close to Xiaobai Gongzi and become a good friend with him, which is also very good... Xiaobai was smart and confused all his life, and he thought you were his good friend. I didn't expect you to be a good chess player, just to come in handy at this time tonight...", said with an angry smile.
"In the future, Wang Meng will follow the eldest prince, no, follow the angry king, and go to the soup to fight the fire and die..."
"Hahaha, hahaha..." laughed angrily.
Wang Meng remembered the conversation with the angry man, and also remembered the daily interaction with Gongzi Xiaobai, and sighed.
I remember the first time I met Gongzi Xiaobai, it was a deliberate arrangement. At that time, he had been promoted to the general of the garrison of the capital, and he had just reported in the capital.
He was dressed in civilian clothes and came out of the city. There is a mountain outside the city called Tingqin Mountain. Wang Meng knew that Gongzi Xiaobai had a courtyard on the mountain, and he liked to play the piano there and practice swords there.
Wang Meng came to the foot of the mountain peak of the courtyard, and he saw a man dressed in white sitting on a big rock on the mountain peak and playing the harp. The sound of the piano is ancient and melodious, as if the loneliness of heaven and earth is in it.
Although it was done deliberately, Wang Meng's favorite thing outside of his military career was to listen to the piano. He listened quietly, and suddenly, he saw some small fish in the mountain stream in front of him coming to the surface, as if they had come to listen to the piano.
Wang Meng sighed. He felt that a person like Gongzi Xiaobai was really a rare and elegant person.
At the end of the song, Xiaobai put down the piano and directly held a sword. I couldn't see the appearance of the sword clearly from a distance, but I could only see the cold light shining. Childe Xiaobai practiced swords on the mountain peak. The sword qi was vertical and horizontal, reflecting the sunlight. Heaven and earth seemed to applaud it.
"Good swordsmanship..."Wang Meng shouted, and the piano was silent, but he had to cheer loudly when he saw the sword... This is also Wang Meng's habit.
"Where did the strong man under the mountain come from, can you come up and talk about it?" Xiaobai heard Wang Meng's applause, he put away his sword, stood on the edge of the cliff and said to Wang Meng.
"Thank you, Childe..."Wang Meng said, he took a leap and came to the top of the mountain.
"It's so light..."Gongzi Xiaobai exclaimed.
"You're welcome, I'm originally a rough person, and I've been practicing martial arts. It's rare to hear Childe's piano and swordsmanship today. I feel that in the world, there are still people with such elegant swords..."Wang Meng said.
"Haha, I think the strong man is full of pride, and he must not be a thing in the pool. Come on, let's have a few drinks together..."Childe Xiaobai said.
Although he was deliberate, all this was arranged by the eldest prince, but Wang Meng was still moved by Xiaobai. They drank together, chatted together, and thus began their relationship.
Wang Meng had forgotten the arrangement of the eldest prince in his relationship with Xiaobai, and he really felt that he was Xiaobai's friend.
They drank together with swords, listened to the harp, and hunted in the suburbs. Wang Meng is very happy with this life in his heart.
It's just that he didn't expect the king to suddenly fall seriously ill, showing the contradiction between the eldest prince's anger and his son's Xiaobai. originally thought that the eldest prince would ascend the throne smoothly, but he didn't expect the king to let Gongzi Xiaobai temporarily handle government affairs.
All this surprised many people, and Wang Meng was also surprised. Wang Meng knew that he would eventually have to get involved.
During the day, Xiaobai told himself that the eldest prince was about to give him a banquet, and let him patrol the road between the eldest prince's mansion and his mansion at night.
I was nervous and didn't know what was going to happen.
This time, I have to face a choice directly. If you make the wrong choice, you will take your entire future and net worth.
Sure enough, the eldest prince passerby also sent someone to let him meet.
The eldest prince asked Xiaobai about his arrangements, and then he nodded and said, "Tonight, you take your soldiers and horses and hide behind the sacrificial hall." When Gongzi Xiaobai encounters danger, no matter whether he lives or dies, you will not move first. When my people disperse, you pretend to go out. If Xiaobai doesn't die, you will kill him for me. If he dies, you pretend to act to catch the murderer. When this is done, you will be the great general of the dynasty. ”
"Yes, the eldest prince," Wang Meng remembers saying at the time.
Wang Meng stood on his horse and listened to the distant carriage approaching. Wang Meng knew that it was Xiaobai's carriage procession.
Wang Meng also knew that with Xiaobai's dozens of warriors, they couldn't resist the warriors of the eldest prince.
He looked at the top of the sacrificial hall, and behind the hall, the eldest prince had at least a few hundred samurai, including more than a dozen samurai of the fifth or sixth rank. Among them, there were also some samurai of the seventh or eighth rank. Their first attack, Xiaobai may not be able to dodge. Even if Xiaobai escaped, would he go out and kill Xiaobai?
Wang Meng hesitated.
If Xiaobai becomes the king, of course he will have a good future, if he doesn't know these past of himself and the eldest prince.
But what if he knew? Will you lose everything?
If the eldest prince becomes the king and helps him kill Xiaobai, even if he is not a general, he will have a good future. At least you can smoothly become a general in the army and have a peaceful life.
If the eldest prince hadn't killed Xiaobai, could he have killed Xiaobai? If you don't help the eldest prince kill Xiaobai, help Xiaobai escape, will the eldest prince live if he becomes the king, no, definitely not...
All these thoughts are combined, and it is best for me to help the eldest prince kill Xiaobai... It's just that thinking of those interactions with Xiaobai, Wang Meng is full of contradictions.
Also, if you help Xiaobai escape, can Xiaobai turn over and become the king? Xiaobai has the support of the king, maybe the king will immediately send troops to eliminate the prince and support Xiaobai to become the king...
Such a person becoming a king is really a blessing for the dynasty...
Hey, let's take it one step at a time... Wang Meng thought.
