Volume 1 One Hand Covers the Sky Chapter 4 Wings
The ground in front of the mountain road was covered with pools of blood, and the lightning reflected in the sky was like red ink.
An eagle soaring in blood vibrated its wings, and a large army of thousands of iron horsemen suddenly poured out of the heavy rain!
The soldiers of the forbidden army in the west of the city watched in horror, and their hearts seemed to be shocked by the thunderous iron hooves.
Sen Han's armor, ghost-faced helmet, steel knife on his waist, and mighty war horses, these armor soldiers are extraordinary at first glance!
The leader pulled the reins in the gallop, and the team immediately stopped slowly.
The man took out his waist card and asked, "Who is in charge here?" β
"In!" The captain headed by the captain rode forward, "The captain of the forbidden military in the west of the city, Cui Yinggong." β
"I am the head of the Red Pass scout, Liang Fenghou." The man lifted his mask, revealing a refreshing face, "Captain Cui is escorting the Zhen clan to Manhong Pass?" β
Cui Yinggong swept the waist card and knew that it was the garrison of the border plug who had arrived, but he wondered why the horse on which the other party was riding was wearing heavy armor?
The Biansai Scout Camp is famous, but it is characterized by soft armor in deerskin and a breed of fast horses that travel thousands of miles every day.
But Liang Fenghou led thousands of iron horsemen wearing iron armor, but his identity was only the scout chief, and he should not be qualified to lead the team according to his authority.
But the iron cavalry team acted with the order and was disciplined, which really made Cui Yinggong unable to figure it out.
"Exactly." Cui Yinggong hesitantly clenched his fists, "The team is here, where is Lord Du Wei going to lead the team?" β
"Benduwei received a post station express that the Zhen clan had passed the Daizhou region, and they were tired of traveling all the way. In addition, there was heavy rain tonight, so he led his headquarters to meet the forbidden army in the west of the city. Liang Fenghou suddenly raised his voice, "The brothers of the forbidden army in the west of the city are all good, this way, hard work!" β
"Huha!!"
The roar under the cold helmet of the thousand faces was like a wolf howling moon, and the frightened soldiers of the forbidden army in the west of the city all chattered their teeth.
Cui Yinggong's face was ugly, how could this be answered, this was clearly leading the army to exert power.
"Lord Lieutenant, where is this, it is all for Your Majesty to be on an errand, where is the hard work." Cui Yinggong squeezed and smiled, "A family talking two words, it seems to be too much to say." β
Cui Yinggong's words had already lowered the position of his own army, and all the guards silently bowed their heads when they heard this, not daring to look at this iron horse.
Liang Fenghou ignored him, and asked himself: "Is there an heir of the Zhen family in the team?" β
Cui Yinggong's heart jumped!
The smile on his face froze, and he immediately turned his head sideways and asked in a low voice, "Is the chasing team back?" β
The soldier's face was bitter: "My lord, the mountain road is congested, and a few riders are chased out, and the rest are still crowded inside." β
"Useless stuff!" Cui Yinggong lowered his voice and reprimanded, "If this person can't be chased back, when you get to the side, you will all go to the desert to kill foreign criminals for me." Sound me?! β
"The little ones are going to clear the way!" The soldiers were anxious, and he pointed sideways at a few people, "Come with me, go!" β
Several pro-soldiers hurriedly rode their horses towards the front of the mountain road, but this was seen by Liang Fenghou, and his brows immediately wrinkled slightly.
Liang Fenghou asked in a shocking voice: "Captain Cui, Captain Bendu, why don't you answer?" β
Cui Yinggong made up his mind to delay time, and said: "Zhen Yi's heir is naturally here, we know that although Zhen Yi is a traitor, he has also guarded the border for Zheng Guo for so many years, so we don't dare to neglect his heir." It's just that the queue is long and the people are mixed. Someone has been sent to look for it. β
As soon as Cui Yinggong finished speaking, a horse in the Biansai Iron Cavalry approached forward: "Dare to ask Captain Cui, I just heard the sound of shouting and killing in the mountain road, what is going on?" β
Cui Yingong slapped his sloppy eyes and said, "This brother is laughing." In the snowy weather, the prisoners will cry out for injustice when they are cold, so why do they shout about killing? β
The forbidden army in the west of the city lived in Chongdu, and was proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, especially good at speculating on the thoughts of the superiors. The soldiers listened to Cui Yinggong's words, and they all tacitly sealed the mountain pass, covering the corpses all over the ground behind them.
But at this time, the heavy rain was pouring down, and the blood stains gradually overflowed to the entrance along the rain, so that Liang Fenghou saw the clues.
"Captain Cui really came with his mouth open." Liang Fenghou pressed his palm on his thigh and looked down, "No shouting and killing, where is the blood all over the ground?" β
Cui Yinggong pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Lord Duwei, there has indeed been no shouting for killing, but there are prisoners on the mountain road who intend to escape. The brothers were not sure of their proportions and killed several people as an example. β
As soon as the words fell, an eagle roar suddenly came out of the heavy rain, and Cui Yinggong felt that a black shadow flashed in his sight and fell directly on Liang Fenghou's shoulder.
Thundered!
Lei Mang flickered, and Cui Yinggong's pupils suddenly shrank!
It's an eagle!
It was a huge eagle with black feathers, its talons rattling against its iron armor, and its fierce eyes staring straight at him.
"Oh? Dare to escape under Captain Cui, I really don't know whether to live or die. Liang Fenghou's eyes were the same as those of the eagle eye, "The Red Mountain Horse Road belongs to the border fortress, and the brothers of the forbidden army in the west of the city are not familiar with the road conditions, so the captain will escort them with you." β
His words were like commands, and his tone was unmistakable.
"This ...... My lord, this is all a humble duty, but the road is not easy to walk-"
"Okay, you let people get out of the way, I'll lead the team." Liang Feng Hou rode his horse and walked straight to the front, the high-headed horse condescendingly with a cold killing intent, "In addition, let people bring Zhen Kexiao, I want someone." β
This is a complete explanation of the intention, Cui Yinggong was suffocated for a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.
"My lord, the team is large and complicated, and you need to find someoneβ"
"I said it, people." Liang Fenghou directly pressed the handle of the knife, "I want it now." β
Cui Yinggong soaked his back in cold sweat, and stammered: "Humble duty, humble duty, this is to find it!" β
"Scout!" Liang Fenghou retracted his aggressive gaze, "Let's go." β
"Phew!"
Thousands of horsemen thundered, iron hooves and snow splashed, this cold army moved forward neatly, and under the momentum of the brave people, a group of forbidden troops in the west of the city took the initiative to retreat to both sides in fright.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly rode his horse gallop in the mountain road. He immediately pulled the rope and dismounted, knelt on the ground and shouted urgently: "Report! The pursuers were killed by prisoners, my lord, Zhen, Zhen is ridiculous......"
"How?!" Cui Yinggong's face changed drastically, "Say it quickly!" β
"Ran!" The soldier howled and cried, "The young man who walked with him was a strong martial artist, killed a few of our soldiers, and ran away with people on horseback!" β
Cui Yingong clenched his fists and shouted: "It's all rice buckets!" I can't even catch a doll! β
"Captain Cui." Liang Fenghou's angry voice sounded like thunder, "You haven't told me, Zhen Kexiao has already escaped." β
Cui Yinggong raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and he said bitterly: "My lord, I ......"
Liang Fenghou glared at Cui Yinggong and shouted: "Jiaohe!" β
The iron rider who had just spoken rode out: "Here! β
"Take a team and go and get back the people who Captain Cui lost." Liang Fenghou looked sideways in a deep voice, "Remember, don't use force, if Miss has the slightest mistake-"
Jiaohe replied boldly: "If there is a mistake, the military law will deal with it!" β
He said that he would take a few horses, and when he galloped past, he glanced at Cui Yinggong, which seemed to be engraved in Cui Yinggong's eyes with a knife, and his back was cold, and cold sweat suddenly broke out.
This is the Iron Horse on the edge of the desert, full of killing intent.
β¦β¦
Yuan Ji took Zhen Kexiao and fled in a hurry on horseback, and there was heavy rain and snowflakes all over the way, so he ran for several hours.
Finally, after a few hills, the road ahead suddenly opened up. At this moment, the fine sand stepped on by the horse's hooves was flying, and a majestic pass appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye.
Full of red passes, arrived.
There were torches on the city wall, and the soldiers on duty stood at the head of the wall, and when he saw someone riding a horse approaching, he shouted: "Who is under the city?!" β
Zhen Kexiao shouted loudly: "Zhen Yi's daughter, Zhen Kexiao." β
The soldier was stunned, he took a torch and walked to the battlements, leaned down and looked down: "Come closer." β
Yuan Ji rode his horse forward and stopped when he reached the gate of the city.
The dim light of the fire dripping with the sound of rain, the soldier looked down and muttered in his heart.
He was silent for a moment, and said, "When I return to Lord Wei Shi, the two of you will wait." β
After the soldier finished speaking, he ran towards the city, and soon arrived in front of Wei Shi's study.
The room was incense, the candles in front of the table were flickering, and Liu Shuoyun leaned on the armrest to support his cheeks and read the book.
Liang Fenghou's team had not returned for a long time, and he was uneasy. According to the usual hour, he should have already gone to the bed to rest, but Liu Shuoyun has been preparing for several months to welcome Zhen Kexiao's entry into the side plug.
In addition, he received a holy decree a month ago that the forbidden army in the west of the city that escorted the exile team would be organized into the Manhong Pass, which he saw more thoroughly than others.
Manhong Pass has been without a general in charge of the army for several months, and the 100,000 elites in the pass are a force to be reckoned with for many people, and it is also a pressure that makes Chongdu uneasy.
It's just because this army has been under the control of the Zhen family from beginning to end since Zheng Guojian established the capital. Now that Zhen Yi is dead, the Son of Heaven has arranged the forbidden army in the west of the city again, thinking that it is to pave the way for the generals in charge of the army in the future.
Then Zhen Kexiao stayed here, for the general who had not yet arrived, it would always be a hidden danger.
Liu Shuoyun is the person brought out by Zhen Yi, and he remembers his kindness in his heart, and at the same time, he also perceives that the captain is old and not as decisive about the military and politics as before. On the contrary, Sikong and Shang Shutai are gradually infiltrating the military and politics.
In other words, the current side plug is both safe and dangerous for Zhen Kexiao.
But Liu Shuoyun had an idea in his heart, and even Liang Fenghou didn't tell him.
"Report!" The soldier hurriedly pushed open the door and knelt on one knee, "My lord, there are people in the city who claim to be Zhen Kexiao, the only daughter of the general. β
Liu Shuoyun was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What about people?" β
The soldier looked up and replied, "The villain told her to wait under the city." β
"The marquis really brought people back." Liu Shuoyun's joy was a little, but it faded in an instant, "Has the forbidden army in the west of the city ever come back with the scout camp?" β
The soldier said, "The team never came back." My lord, there are only one or two people in the city. β
"Only two?" Liu Shuoyun was shocked, and immediately waved his hand, "Let's go!" β
The two came to the city wall along the corridor, Liu Shuoyun looked down, and saw that there was indeed only one horse and two people in the heavy rain.
Zhen Kexiao recognized Liu Shuoyun at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Uncle Liu! β
Liu Shuoyun recognized the person clearly by the dim firelight, and he exclaimed in a trembling voice: "Miss! β
When the soldiers saw that it was correct, they immediately shouted to the city gates: "Open the city gates!" β
A few soldiers had just taken down a crossbar with a latch door when they suddenly heard a shout from the Red Mountain Horse Road.
"Don't open the door!"
Liu Shuoyun looked over and saw five soldiers in light armor galloping on horses in the heavy rain!
The light knights shouted as they ran: "These two are fugitives, don't open the door!" β
The soldiers on the battlements said in surprise: "My lord, this is not Captain Liang's scout horse. β
"Light horseman, a man from the forbidden army in the west of the city." Liu Shuoyun saw the clue and said in a deep voice, "Open the city gate quickly and let the two of them in." β
Several soldiers stopped and immediately increased their speed, and the light cavalry outside the city was already approaching quickly, and immediately surrounded Yuan Ji and Zhen Kexiao!
One of them said sharply: "The traitor has fled, and it will be difficult to fly in the end, and you two will be arrested immediately!" β
The city gate slowly opened at this moment, and Liu Shuoyun and several soldiers stood in front of the gate and stopped, because he was very embarrassed now.
Exile and smuggling shall be beheaded according to the law. So he discussed with Liang Fenghou to go to Daizhou to pick up people in advance, and take over the team on the grounds of protecting Zhen Kexiao's safety.
In this way, he will be able to avoid the forbidden army in the west of the city and carry out his plan.
But now that the forbidden army in the west of the city has chased to the door, he suddenly feels powerless, and he only feels that it is better to be beautiful.
Yuanji pulled out the steel knife he grabbed on the road and said, "Miss, stand behind me." β
"Motoyoshi." Zhen Kexiao looked at the bloody wound on Yuan Ji's back, and couldn't help but tell with a worried face, "Be careful." β
Yuan Ji suddenly pulled out the steel knife, and the raindrops fell on the sharp blade, and the crisp sound was like the sound of a clang.
His face was pale but his expression was resolute, and then the blade pointed at the five people!
"Who dares to stop me?"
