Chapter 339: Ambush Again
"Did you hear me right? Did He Yue'er really come from the direction of Yingcheng on the official road? Xiang Liangyu saw that Ge Cifeng was silent, and had some ominous premonitions in his heart, so he hurriedly rushed to the front of the army, picked up the deserter led by him and asked, "I think clearly!" ”
Seeing that Xiang Liangyu was so eager, he knew that something was wrong, so he quickly changed his words and said: "Ah no, small... The little one seems to have misremembered. It's called Luo Yue'er, right? Brothers? ”
"Yes, yes, it's Luo Yue'er." The rest of the deserters hurriedly chimed in.
"Hmph, since I heard it wrong, it's a lie about the military situation! Come on, drag it down and cut it down! "Xiang Liangyu treats the sergeant fairly gently on weekdays, but I don't know why he is irritable today.
Dozens of powerful soldiers stepped forward to drag the deserters away, and the deserters fell to their knees, begging for mercy.
Ge Cifeng, who was silent on the side, finally spoke: "General Xiang, didn't you take me for a fool?" ”
"The last general will not dare!" Xiang Liangyu's heart sank, turned around and clenched his fists and said: "This is just a dozen deserters, empty words, it's not credible!" ”
Ge Cifeng rubbed his fingers and said: "He Yue'er is the wife of Wuding Gong in the court, and that Peng girl in Sichuan and Shu is also a woman. If the imperial court really sent He Yue'er to befriend Peng Yatou, it is not impossible. If that's the case, when we return to Chuxiang, we will also face the danger of being attacked from both sides..."
Xiang Liangyu was angry in his heart: You still know that it is the wife of Duke Wuding, coveting his wife, what a shame! But he was angry, and he still persuaded him: "If you go to Yingcheng, you will have to delay a lot of time, and if you arrive in Jingcheng one day earlier, we will have one more safety guarantee, Your Royal Highness, please think twice!" ”
Ge Cifeng turned a deaf ear and turned the horse's head: "Order, take Yingcheng!" After speaking, the horse passed by Xiang Liangyu without a moment's pause. After walking a long way, he turned around and said, "General Xiang, my father has been assassinated by the imperial court, and I am not the son of the world." ”
Xiang Liangyu was stunned: "The prince is dead?" Assassinated by the imperial court? How did I not know about this? He grabbed a soldier beside him: "You say, what's going on!" ”
The captured soldier saw that Ge Cifeng had gradually moved away, so he whispered how Ge Cifeng took out the head of King Chu Xiang and how the Chu Xiang army broke up when the two armies were fighting.
"Bastard thing! How dare you kill your father! As soon as Xiang Liangyu heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, and he trembled with anger.
Xiang Qi walked over and whispered, "Second uncle, this is not the time to be angry, please be patient." If we have a stalemate with His Royal Highness the Prince at this time, it will not be good for us. "Although Xiang Qi is wooden, he is not stupid.
"I naturally know that I can't swallow this breath..."Xiang Liangyu sighed: "Our Xiang family has followed the king of Chuxiang for generations, and the bandits and soldiers don't know how many they have killed, but I didn't expect that such a thing happened to their own family in the Chuxiang Palace... Worthy of our ancestors..."
"What can I do with their family affairs and other outsiders... The second uncle doesn't have to worry. Xiang Qi comforted.
"Let's go, let's see what moths he wants to fix, if he dares to ruin Chu Xiang's foundation, I will never let him go!" Xiang Liangyu turned over and rode the war horse led by the sergeant, and chased in the direction of Ge Cifeng.
……
Fu Qing sat in the carriage, constantly lifting the curtain and looking out: "Where are we?" Won't miss out with them, right? Senior Brother Tang, did they come along? ”
He Yue'er said indifferently: "We have done what should be done, it's useless for you to be in a hurry." ”
"I know it's useless to be anxious, but I'm in a hurry... If you have three long and two short, Yi Xiaodao will definitely kill me! Fu Qing clenched the unscabbarded Siqing sword in his hand, and said with a bitter face.
He Yue'er just smiled sadly when she heard this, and didn't say anything more. She knew that she still had some weight in Yi Xiaodao's heart, but she didn't know how much weight she still had. If he has three longs and two shorts, in the face of a beauty like Fu Qing, will Yi Xiaodao kill her or marry her...
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic she became, He Yue'er shook her head, threw away the distracting thoughts in her mind, and stopped thinking about it.
After a short walk, dust and smoke rose on the official road in the distance, and it seemed that a large army was approaching.
Here it comes!
Fu Qing jumped off the carriage first and looked around, not knowing if Lord Peng and the people of the Tang Sect were following behind.
He Yue'er lifted the curtain from the carriage and looked into the distance. But now it is summer, the land is dry, the army is passing by, the smoke and dust are filled, and it is really invisible.
"Miss Fu, you go first, it's dangerous here, just in case..." Before He Yue'er finished speaking, Fu Qing had already stopped in front of He Yue'er with a sword.
"What are you doing down? Get in the car quickly, as long as you are in the car, you will be fine, Ge Cifeng attaches so much importance to you, Chu Xiangjun will not come to attack the carriage, if you come down, the sword has no eyes, how can you be injured by mistake! Fu Qing urged He Yue'er to get into the car.
He Yue'er was hesitating, the coachman jumped off the carriage, grabbed Fu Qing and He Yue'er, got up, and jumped into the dense forest on the side of the road.
"Two girls, it's not safe outside, wait here, don't get hurt. I'll come back to you later. The coachman lifted the hat from his head and handed it to the two of them, chatting for shade. It turned out that the coachman was the second disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang Yunsong. He did not stop long, but turned and hurried back to the carriage, still sitting in it, pretending to be a coachman, and drove the carriage to the side of the road, as if to give way.
The army looked far away, but in fact it came in the blink of an eye, and soon, it surrounded the carriage, and had no intention of passing.
Ge Cifeng sat on horseback and looked down at Tang Yunsong: "What person?" What's in the car? ”
"Back... Back to the military master, there was no one in the car, it was empty. I sent people to Yingcheng, delivered, and drove back to prepare for it! Tang Yunsong nodded and said with a smile, his honest appearance made it impossible to see any flaws.
Ge Cifeng rode his horse to the side of the carriage, took a spear, and gently lifted the curtain, but there was indeed no one inside.
"It's okay, let's go." Ge Cifeng was a little disappointed, the frame of this carriage is not chic, and it is not unusual to find a hundred or ten cars in any county.
Tang Yunsong bowed again and again and thanked him, and climbed into the car with great difficulty.
"Your Royal Highness, be careful!" Xiang Liangyu rushed to Ge Cifeng's side first, and pulled Ge Cifeng behind the horse.
"What's wrong?" Ge Cifeng was puzzled.
Xiang Liangyu pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed at Tang Yunsong: "As a coachman, you have been begging for a living in the carriage all year round, but it is so difficult to get on the carriage?" Who the hell are you? ”
As soon as the words came out, Ge Cifeng and Tang Yunsong, including the surrounding generals, were all stunned, and Ge Cifeng frowned and said, "Is General Xiang too careful?" Do you have to worry about other people's difficulties in getting into the car? ”
"Your Royal Highness, I am sure that there must be a fraud in this carriage! If you don't believe it, let those deserters come and recognize it! Xiang Liangyu insisted.
"Go, call those pawns." Ge Cifeng waved his hand to give the order, and a small colonel hurriedly went to find someone.
After a while, the little colonel hurriedly ran back to report: "Back to the prince, the deserter is missing!" ”
"Your Royal Highness, what did I say? Maybe this deserter is Chuan Shu..."
"Enough!" Ge Cifeng shouted angrily: "Suspicious and suspicious everywhere, if you don't treat you like a general, how can those soldiers escape?" Urge me to go back to Jingcheng left and right, and go back to contact my father's old ministry to deal with me! ”
When Xiang Liangyu heard this, he was struck by lightning: "His Royal Highness..."
"I repeat! My father is dead, and I am now the king of Chuxiang! Let's go! Ge Cifeng shook his cloak violently, ignoring Xiang Liangyu, who was stunned in place, got on his horse first, and still led his troops in the direction of Yingcheng.
The long sword in Xiang Liangyu's hand pointing at Tang Yunsong slowly hung down, and at this moment, he only felt that this sword seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he was no longer able to lift it.
"Second uncle..."Xiang Qi stepped forward, wanting to comfort him, but he opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say now.
"Let's go, keep up with the world... Keep up with the prince. Xiang Liangyu inserted his sword back into the sheath, took the reins of the horse, and followed Ge Cifeng far behind.
Between the staggered horses and horses, Tang Yunsong said softly: "Offended." A thin needle came out of his hand and shot at the back of Xiang Liangyu's neck.
"Uh... Yes! Xiang Liangyu was hit with a needle in the back of his neck, turned over from the war horse and fell to the ground, and hurriedly reached out to pull out the needle.
Tang Yunsong struck a blow, grabbed the roof of the carriage and flipped upside down, dodged a few spears stabbed by Chu Xiangjun, and flew away into the distance.
"Chase! Break him to pieces! Xiang Qi hurriedly dismounted, helped Xiang Liangyu up, and pointed at Tang Yunsong through gritted teeth. The surrounding generals were all Xiang Liangyu's pro-army, reacting quickly and strictly abiding by military orders, and at the same time as Xiang Qi gave the order, a group of soldiers had already rushed out and caught up with Tang Yunsong.
"Don't... Chasing, this is the transfer of the tiger..."Xiang Liangyu opened his mouth with difficulty, and just halfway through speaking, he only felt that his lips and tongue were paralyzed, and he couldn't say a word anymore, and he couldn't even twist his neck, and the whole person froze in place.
"Second uncle! hurt the meridians, quickly, help the second uncle to get into the carriage and lie down. I must arrest him for me, he must be from the Tang Sect, I want him to die! Xiang Qi was flustered, he was already close to his second uncle, not to mention that Xiang Liangyu was the pillar of the Xiang family, if he fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"General Xiang, what should we do now?" Xiang Liangyu's brigade had already chased Tang Yunsong, and the personal guards were beside Xiang Liangyu, not knowing what to do.
Xiang Qi gritted his teeth and hesitated, and only said after a while: "Second uncle's injury is critical, we can't delay, let's go back to Jingcheng quickly and find a famous doctor to treat the second uncle!" ”
"Boom!"
There was a noise in the carriage, and it was Xiang Liangyu who was raising his fist to hit the wall of the car to show that he was not allowed.
"Second uncle!"
"Boom!" Another bang.
Xiang Qi understood what Xiang Liangyu meant, and changed his words and said: "Go, catch up with the prince, there must be an ambush ahead, and the prince can't be lost." ”
"The Assassin..."
"Let's call it back first..."Xiang Qi said helplessly.
A horseman hurriedly beat his horse and rushed to give the order, Xiang Qi bowed outside the carriage and said, "Second uncle, someone has been sent to give the order, don't be angry." ”
The carriage was quiet, and Xiang Qi and the others were waiting for the pursuers to come back and converge.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, General Xiang's soldiers and horses didn't keep up." After walking for a while, a small colonel came over to remind Ge Cifeng.
"Hmph, I know that this old fox is not at ease, don't pay attention to him, let's go!" Ge Cifeng ignored it and continued to pat the horse and rush forward, now he just wanted to find He Yue'er.
Suddenly, there were countless shouts from all directions: "Kill! ”
The sound of killing suddenly rose up, startling the war horse and neighing, and it was difficult to calm down.
"Capture the style of resignation!" Peng Baobao had seen Ge Cifeng, and at this time, he recognized the person in the lead, and couldn't help but howl happily.
