Chapter 142: Soldiers Sent to Yongyang Palace
Twelve Lang sent a team of tigers to go down the cliff to search for Qihua, and the team escorted Chun Yuji to Ruining Station.
Shi Gao did not go up the mountain, but brought a team of tiger ben to be stationed in Ruining Station. Twelve Lang reported on today's battle situation, Shi Gao was overjoyed, praised a few words, and wrote a secret report on the matter of finding Chun Yuji, and ordered someone to hurry up and send it directly to the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace.
Twelve Lang also talked about Chun Yuji's battle with a woman, and he had an arrow and Heng Sanyi and others, and killed them all. Recalling what he saw at the time, he still had palpitations.
Shi Gao listened in disbelief and shook his head again and again.
He knew Zeng Yijian, and he knew this person's martial arts, and his archery skills were even more superb. Heng San is Huo's henchman, he has also seen it, and his skills are extraordinary. And the dead soldiers recruited by Huo Mansion are also martial arts masters. Although Chun Yuji has been in the army for many years, he is only a medical officer, so how much ability can he have.
He pondered for a long time, feeling that it could not be the work of Chun Yu, that woman or a peerless master. He beckoned Twelve Lang to come closer and asked, "What kind of person is that woman who fell off the cliff?" ”
Twelve Lang said: "That is, an ordinary woman, who was the maid of Shuofang County Government before. ”
"Ordinary women? Who killed Zeng Yijian and Hengsan, could it be Chun Yu? ”
Twelve Lang tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "When I arrived, Zeng Yijian and Heng San were already dead, and looking at the wound, it looked like a sword blade. But the woman was wielding a long-handled iron spoon. ”
"Iron spoon?" Shi Gao showed a surprised expression, and then laughed a few times: "This is in line with her identity." ”
"Who is she?" Twelve Lang asked curiously.
"The maid of Shuofang County."
"Oh." Twelve Lang suddenly realized.
"Well, these people were all killed. This medical officer's martial arts are so powerful. Shi Gao sighed.
"But—" Twelve Lang stopped talking.
"What are you going to say?" Seeing him like this, Shi Gao said impatiently.
Twelve Lang showed a confused look on his face, and said hesitantly: "There is something very strange, I haven't figured it out yet. I thought it was impossible, but that's what I saw. ”
"What a mess. What the hell are you going to say. Scoop rebuked impatiently.
"Just now I said that Zeng Yijian, Heng San and others were injured by the blade. However, they were a few stops away from them, and the wounds of the dead were all in the same place. Twelvero raised his right hand and made a motion to wipe his neck.
Shi Gao pondered what he said, and was suddenly surprised: "Are you sure." ”
Twelve Lang nodded with a serious expression. Shi Gao couldn't help but shudder, wondering, could it be that this is a few peerless martial arts with shocking bodies? He thought about it and thought about it, and thought it was incredible.
After he learned about Chun Yuji's life experience, he sent someone to the Shuofang military camp to investigate this person, and came back to say that this Chun Yuji was pure in heart, sincere to others, and a medical officer with excellent medical skills, nothing more. Chun Yu knows a few martial arts, he also knows, but he will not kill people invisibly.
He shook his head slightly and said, "Don't tell anyone about this." Also, you look at it closely, quietly. Twelve Lang understood and replied, "Oh." ”
Shi Gao waved his hand, as if he was about to turn the page on this matter, and asked, "How many dead soldiers from Huo Mansion are there on this mountain?" ”
Twelve Lang pondered for a while and said, "There are more than twenty of them, and there are a few of Zeng Yi's followers, and those who are not dead have been arrested by me." ”
"Huo Fu recruited more than two hundred dead soldiers. In this way, the rest of the people are still in Yongyang Palace. There was a sneering smile on the corner of Shi Gao's mouth: "Dead man? Hehe. ”
"What are we going to do next?"
"Go to Yongyang Palace. Your Majesty's will, we will escort Chun Yuji and eradicate the rebellion of Yongyang Palace. Now is the time to get rid of the rebellion. Shi Gao stood up, hesitated for a moment, sat down again, tapped his fingers on the desk a few times, and asked, "Do you recognize the way to Yongyang Palace?" ”
Twelve Lang shook his head: "I don't recognize it." ”
"Then you go to Chang'an now and go to Huofu to pick up a groom named Zhang Zhang. Don't alarm anyone, you have to come back early tomorrow morning. ”
Twelve Lang arched his hand and said, "Huh." "Turn around and go.
The next morning, when Scoop was woken up by a commotion, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to the door, just in time to bump into a tired Tjuro. When Twelve Lang saw Shi Gao, he shook up his spirit and arched his hand: "In the waiting, Zhang Zhang has picked it up." ”
"Okay." Shi Gao patted him on the shoulder: "Let's set off immediately, and leave a hundred tigers here to escort Chun Yuji to Chang'an." ”
Twelve Lang nodded in agreement, summoned a centurion, and ordered: "You lead your subordinates to escort Chun Yu to Chang'an." Be careful along the way. If there is a bad pool, it will not be spared. When he said the last two sentences, his tone was vicious.
The centurion was frightened, bowed his head and said, "Huh." ”
Twelve Lang turned around and pulled Zhang Zhang over, Shi Gao grabbed Zhang Zhang's shoulder, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "I'm still worried that you won't come." ”
Zhang Zhang was also very excited, tears rolled in his eyes, his face flushed, and said, "Why don't I come." He rubbed his eyes as he spoke.
Shi Gao turned back to Twelve Lang and said, "You guys have been traveling overnight, it's very hard, go have breakfast first, and rest for a while." He patted Zhang Zhang's shoulder with concern and said, "You go with you." ”
Twelve Lang replied: "Huh." ”
Zhang Zhang walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and knelt down, and said: "The villain doesn't know that Brother Shi is a big official of the imperial court, and he has been rude before, and he still looks forward to Brother Shi Haihan." ”
Shi Gao smiled and helped him up, and said: "Zhang Lang understands the righteousness, and when the traitor is exterminated, I will play your credit tomorrow, and there will be a heavy reward." ”
Zhang Zhang bowed his head and knelt down to thank him, sobbing and said, "I want to avenge Xiaocui." ”
At the end of the day, Shi Gao and Twelve Lang led the Tiger Ben cavalry to Qishan. Zhang Zhang walked in front to lead the way. It took him a lot of work that day to find the path into the mountain, so he was impressed, and after walking for more than two hours, he came to the col very smoothly.
Shi Gaole stopped the horse, looked around, here is luxuriantly wooded, a stone paved path winds up, to the bend there is a stone wall, engraved "Yongyang Palace" three seals, thinking that this is the place. He turned around and was about to give an order, but when he saw only a few people behind him, he was surprised: "Why are there only these people." ”
Twelve Lang said: "The dense forest road here is narrow, and so many people have walked into a long snake formation." ”
Shi Gao straightened up and looked back, and sure enough, the cavalry team couldn't see the end at a glance. He looked at the mountain for a while, frowned, and said, "This road up the mountain is at most two people side by side, although we have a lot of people, but we can't use it, we can only go up a few people to fight." If you attack from here, as long as you have a few archers on it, and prepare some rolling stones and wood, you can hold it. ”
Twelve Lang nodded yes and said, "This kind of terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
The two of them were worried for a while.
Zhang Zhang didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing that there was no movement here, he ran over and asked, "Why don't you go up." Twelve Lang repeated what he had just said. Zhang Zhang slapped his thigh with a "hi" and shouted: "If you can't go up the front mountain, you can go up from the back mountain." ”
Shi Gao didn't come back to his senses for a while, and asked hesitantly: "There is also a back mountain?" ”
"There is no back mountain in that mountain." Zhang Zhang blurted out.
Shi Gao's expression was embarrassed, and he couldn't talk.
Twelve's mind spun quickly and asked, "Can I go up the back mountain?" ”
"Yes. I was looking for Xiaocui, and I climbed up from the back mountain. ”
"Is there anyone to watch?" Scoop asked eagerly.
"Nope."
"Okay." Shi Gao clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed the palm of his left hand, and screamed excitedly. He called Twelve Lang and instructed: "You take two hundred tigers, go up from the back mountain with Zhang Zhang, and wave the flag as a signal when you arrive." I'm going to attack here too, and I'm going to win a big victory. ”
Twelve Lang arched his hand and said: "Huh" turned around and ordered: "All dismount and prepare to attack." He led two hundred school swordsmen to climb the back mountain with Zhang Zhang. Just about to leave, he suddenly stopped and asked Zhang Zhang: "Let's wave the flag after we go up, can we see it here?" ”
Zhang Zhang looked at it for a while and said, "You can see it." ”
Only then did Twelve Lang put his mind at ease and said, "Go up the mountain." ”
Shi Gao watched them turn to the back mountain, and in a moment, the group of soldiers was annihilated in the dense mountain forest. He turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Shield bearers and archers come forward, and when the signal is given from the back mountain, they will attack together." ”
After waiting for about half an hour, a soldier pointed to the back mountain and excitedly shouted, "They have gone up and are waving flags." ”
Shi Gao picked up the soldier in front of him, stretched his neck to look, and between the cracks in the woods on the mountainside behind the mountainside, there was indeed a crimson thing shaking.
He couldn't tell the difference, hesitated for a moment, and asked the soldiers beside him: "But our flag." The soldier said affirmatively: "It is our tiger Ben's battle flag, and I also saw the flying tiger embroidered on the flag." Shi Gao was overjoyed, drew his sword, and shouted "Attack." ”
The terrain was complex, and he ordered the shield-bearers to follow and the sword-bearers to follow, and the two attacked in tandem, while the archers swept behind.
The tiger army had only rushed a few steps, and a few small stones rolled down from the mountain, smashing the shield with a thud. Scoop quickly flashed behind one of the shield bearers and shouted, "Shoot the arrows." "The archers fired indiscriminately.
Shi Gao listened attentively for a while, and when there was no movement on it, he waved his hand. A group of soldiers rushed up the stone path and soon rushed to the stone wall engraved with "Yongyang Palace". He stared nervously at the group of soldiers, and his hand holding his sword trembled slightly.
