Chapter 17: Pure Accident
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Ming and his team set off early, went out of the city from the Mingde Gate in the southernmost part of Daxing, and joined the Yang clan team outside the city.
A team of 6,000 people, composed of guards, pro-army, and domestic servants, marched in the direction of Nanshan.
Nanshan was only sixty kilometers away from Daxing, and could be reached in a day at the speed of their march.
In the evening, Yang Ming and the others had already lived in a tent set up by the vanguard troops at the northern foot of Nanshan.
Wei Wang Yang Shuang is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, with a slender body, a pale face, and a weak look.
He is the half-brother of Emperor Yang Jian, who holds both the positions of the general of the right leading army and Nayan, and is crowned as a pillar state.
In Yang Ming's impression, Yang Shuang in history should have hung up a long time ago, but in this life, the other party is still alive and well.
Yang Shuang treated the Jin Wangfu side quite politely, after all, he was raised by his eldest sister-in-law, Queen Dugu, and Yang Ming was favored by Duguhou, so Yang Shuang came to the Jin Wangfu camp to say hello as soon as he set up camp.
In the tent, Yang Shuang waved away the guards around him and said with a smile:
"I deliberately placed your camp on the periphery, the two little highnesses must have an opinion in their hearts, right?"
"How so? King Wei was properly placed, and Yang Jun had no grievances. ”
The second Yang Xuan was thoughtful, knowing that the Jin Palace's mansion was not well received in Daxing, and the other party's arrangement was reasonable.
After all, in their team, those people in the East Palace are the star-studded existences.
Wei Wang Yang Shuang nodded, looked at Yang Ming and said:
"I heard that His Royal Highness and the East Palace have had a few awkward quarrels recently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is lenient and kind, and he doesn't care, but the people at the bottom can't say for sure, so His Royal Highness should try to be as low-key as possible during this time, after all, the King of Jin is far away in Jiangdu, and he can't reach anything if something happens."
This sentence is already a very obvious warning.
Yang Ming could hear that the other party must have received some rumors, so he would remind him as soon as possible.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is lenient? It seems that the fifth uncle doesn't know him very well, right? Yang Ming said with a smile.
"Forehead ......"
Yang Shuang was stunned for a moment, smiled and shrugged his shoulders, didn't say anything more, just bowed slightly to Mama Lou, who was meditating cross-legged in the corner, and then opened the tent.
"Alas......" Yang Xuan lay down on his back and muttered: "Let's stay away from the East Palace, remember to bring your personal guards when you go out to play, don't be bullied." ”
Yang Chan, who knew the situation, nodded obediently and said, "Daxing has no one to support us, so we really have to be careful." ”
Yang Ming can feel that this brother and sister have a maturity and calmness far beyond their peers, perhaps because of their growth environment, a little dull head like them will be bad.
In fact, the only one who can give them the face of the Jin Palace's mansion is the East Palace.
Others, only qualified to see their faces.
In the Great Sui, in addition to the three emperors, empresses, and crown princes, who is not afraid of Yang Guang, the king of Jin?
After a night's rest, the next morning, the team set off for the hinterland, the center of the spring outing.
The further you go in, the more people you encounter in the convoy.
On the jewel-embellished saddle, sat a handsome boy with long hair and a scarf and a calm demeanor.
In the curtain of the carriage, which seems to have been lifted by the wind, beautiful faces are revealed, and they are looking around at the heroic young people in the past.
The atmosphere of the Great Sui is open, and instead of being spurned by women, chasing men will be spurned, but will be passed on as a good story.
It's a pity that Yang Ming doesn't have this blessing, otherwise with his identity, the daughter who chased him would be able to go from Daxing to Jiangdu.
"Your Royal Highness, let's camp under the col in front of us tonight, and the camp tent of the East Palace is over a hill, which was arranged by King Wei."
"Got it," Yang Ming in the carriage said lightly.
Guo Yilang General Pang Ben was the captain of the Praetorian Guard beside Yang Ming, and after reporting to Yang Ming, he rode behind the carriage.
Yang Jun brought a personal guard of 500 people from Jiangdu, all of whom were elite armor soldiers, including some top masters who had been famous for a long time in the rivers and lakes.
And on Yang Ming's side, in addition to Mama Lou, who doesn't know the details, there are also several mysterious masters in the Daxing Jin Palace.
Security is absolutely worry-free.
As for Chen Shuyi, Yang Ming has always felt that she is just a half-ass.
As the convoy passed through a plain covered with tents, a screeching bang rang in the ears.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage where Yang Ming was located shook and tilted to the right.
"Presumptuous!"
"Bold!"
The incident happened suddenly, Pang Ben shouted violently, and immediately led a team of men and horses to gallop towards the camp tent on the right, and then there were bursts of roaring and scolding from there.
The chaos here immediately attracted the attention of the people around them, and people turned their attention to the place where the incident occurred.
When they saw that the carriage with the broken axle was surrounded by palace forbidden troops, they knew that there was a lot of excitement today.
Xu Jing knelt on the side of the carriage for the first time, and Chen Shuyi helped Yang Ming and the three of them stepped on his back and got off the carriage.
"What's going on?" Yang Yan had a gloomy face and said coldly behind him.
A middle-aged man with a clear appearance handed over his palm, and in the palm of his hand was an iron stone:
"The shot from the direction of the tent is very strong, and the arm strength of the person who sent the stone is extremely strong."
"What do you eat? Didn't even notice the attack? Yang Xuan was obviously really angry, after all, the axle was broken in front of everyone's eyes, and the face of the Jin Wangfu was lost.
"It's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates," Zhang Mu hurriedly pleaded guilty.
In fact, the speed of that iron stone was only between the lightning and flint, and by the time Zhang Muyi found it, it was already too late.
Pang Ben was not ambiguous at all, and directly led the forbidden army to surround the crowd on the other side of the camp, like driving pigs back to the pen, and brought them to Yang Ming and the others.
Yang Ming really wanted something to happen, he was the first to lose his head, and Pang Ben was subordinate to the palace guards, so he dared to arrest anyone.
There were nearly a hundred people who were brought to the carriage, a few of them were the sons and daughters of the big family, and the others were guards and slaves.
Without waiting for Yang Ming to ask, one of the handsome young men strode out of the crowd, waved his hand at Yang Ming and the others, and said:
"It was the incompetence of the subordinates, which shocked the cars of several highnesses, and asked your highnesses to surrender their crimes."
Yuzhang Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, and seemed surprised that the other party dared to take the initiative to admit his guilt.
You must know that breaking the axle is no longer just a simple shock, it can be identified as a sneak attack and assassination.
"Very good, it's a man, dare to act, come and kill on the spot!" Yang Yun said coldly.
"Slow down!"
At this time, the servant behind the handsome young man hurriedly stood up and knelt down and said:
"Your Royal Highness, my son-in-law is the eldest grandson of the left servant, Gao Zhan, just now it was indeed a mistake, it was definitely not intentional, please Your Highness Mingjian."
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, immediately frowned, and looked at Yang Ming with puzzled eyes,
What do you see me doing? Yang Ming complained in his heart: You are the king of the county, you have to stand up?
Zuo Servant shot, that is Gao Gong, the biggest official in the dynasty, and the number one confidant of Queen Dugu.
If the other party is really Gao Gong's grandson, it is definitely impossible to kill him, and at most he will be punished.
But in this way, the Jin Palace's side will inevitably be ridiculed: the prince's son is afraid of the minister's grandson?
Yang Ming's eyes looked at Gao Zhan, and found that the other party looked fearless, and since then he has completely understood that the Jin Wangfu has been hated by many forces because of the contradictions between it and the East Palace.
"Gao Gongzi doesn't look like someone who can shoot such a powerful flying stone?" Yang Ming said lightly with an expressionless face.
Gao Zhan looked at his nose and nose, looked fearless, and did not answer.
On the contrary, it was his servant who held a small iron bow with a strange shape in front of Yang Ming with both hands.
"My son-in-law and his friends competed in stone shooting, using this strong bow, because the flying stone hit the gong and rebounded, it startled several His Highnesses, it was a pure accident, Your Highness Mingjian."
Yang Ming took the short bow and tried to pull the bowstring, but it was only at a very small angle.
Then he threw it to Pang Ben on the side, who struggled to pull it, and it was half a moon, but his face was already red and his neck was thick:
"It's a rare strong bow! The bowstring should be made of python tendon soaked in a special medicinal solution, and it is afraid that it will not have the strength to get twenty stones. (600 pounds)"
Yang Ming nodded, took the short bow, and then looked at the huge gong that shone golden in the sunlight on the side of the camp.
Everything seemed to be exactly what the servant had said, just an accident.
But Yang remembered what his grandfather Yang Jian once said: What I am most afraid of is accidents.
"Ironstone!"
Yang Ming took the iron stone, wrapped it around the bowstring, and then slowly pulled the bow towards Gao Zhan in front of him.
Although it was only a small angle, Gao Zhan was already twitching at the corner of his eyes, and he looked at Yang Ming with wide eyes, with an incredible expression.
For a moment, the surrounding noise disappeared in an instant.
The crowd seemed to be holding their breath at the same time at this moment, and their eyes were all focused on the strong bow in Yang Ming's hand.
Will he?
With such a strong bow, even if the king of Hedong is young and weak, but at such a close distance, it is pointed directly at Gao Zhan's face, and he can't dodge.
Once the flying stone is hit, Gao Zhan will either be killed or injured.
Yang Xuan, the king of Yuzhang, did not open his mouth to stop him, because he thought that Yang Ming was just scaring and scaring the other party, after all, Gao Gong was the left servant of the Chao Shangshu, and he was the number one hero of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty.
"Whoosh!" A crunch,
The heartstrings of everyone present seemed to be broken by this sound.
Yang was stunned.
This was followed by a terrible scream.......
At the critical moment, the servant beside Gao Zhan stepped forward and blocked in front of his master, and was hit by the flying stone shot by Yang Ming, and his skull shattered on the spot and died.
Gao Zhan was suddenly frightened, stumbled under his feet, and fell on the grass.
Yang Jun and Yang Chan looked at each other dumbfounded, they didn't expect that their younger brother, who was very talkative, would play so hard?
