Chapter 360: The Contest (4)

The night black geese flew high, fleeing in the night, wanting to chase away the light horsemen, and the snow was full of bows and knives. The Tang Dynasty poet's "Stopper" sounds very beautiful, very heroic, full of romanticism, but if you really march all night in armor on a snowy day, you will definitely not have any romantic thoughts, at most you will only scold: "Damn God." "Well, if you still have the strength to curse. Whether others still have the strength to scold, Yinxiang doesn't know, he only knows that he doesn't scold anymore, and he can't even breathe. The snow has stopped, but the fifteen thousand elite cavalry at the time of departure, after a night of hurrying, only more than eight thousand people can reach the Jingshi realm at dawn, and Yinxiang didn't want to curse people for a long time, he was already so anxious that he wanted to cut people.

"Report!" A forward cavalryman rushed from the front of the team with a torch in his hand, reined in the reins of his horse in front of the small slope where Yinxiang was standing, and said breathlessly: "Hey, Yu Dashuai, in front, there is a Qin messenger in front to greet him, and he wants Dashuai to go and receive the order." ”

"Chincha?" When Yinxiang heard the words of the ranger, he was stunned for a moment - this time he returned to the army and the Beijing division was not ordered to return to Beijing, although there was also a will, but that will should now be in Yinzuo's hands, and at this time Yinxiang had not had time to send someone to get in touch with Yinzuo, even if he contacted the person who came, it could not be Qincha, but only Yinzuo's royal captain. Yinxiang looked at a Goshha beside him in surprise, and his eyes showed an inquiring color.

"Don't panic, my lord has explained, and someone will answer when he arrives in Beijing, but the person who comes will definitely not be Qincha, this is just the fourth master's means." Goshha, who had a calm face and a calm breath, said calmly.

"Oh." Yinxiang nodded noncommittally, pulled the reins of the horse and ordered loudly: "Pass the order, the army will stop, and the commander will take a look." As soon as the words fell, the horse rushed down the small dirt slope and hurried to the front of the group.

In front of the army, there was a group of knights, the number was not much, that is, more than thirty horsemen, except for a few eunuchs dressed as the leader, the rest were all dressed in the costumes of the camp, several torches flickered in the crowd, and in the twilight of the sky, it looked not much different from the posture of the ordinary proclamation. Yinxiang took a look in front of the team, led the Goshha men to ride their horses and walked forward slowly, and asked very politely: "Ben Shuai is here, dare to ask which father-in-law came to deliver the decree?" ”

A middle-aged eunuch-looking man in the group of knights ignored Yinxiang's question, but instead said in a high-pitched voice: "Thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang takes the order." ”

Yin Xiang hesitated slightly, but turned over and dismounted, and knelt quietly on the snow in the middle of the road. The eunuch nodded with great satisfaction, unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and preached loudly in a tone of voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: The thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang bows to humility and pure filial piety, and I deeply promise it, and I will immediately go to Changchun Garden to meet him, and the army led by him will be handed over to the command of the Guangzhou general Nian Qianyao, and I will admire this." ”

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Yinxiang kowtowed a few times meticulously, got up, and waited for the eunuch to hand over the holy decree to him, with a respectful face, and it was a matter of concern not to squint. However, it is precisely because Yinxiang pretends to be too much like that, but it seems a little weird - if ordinary people encounter such things, they either keep asking suspiciously, or they are ecstatic because they fell off the throne out of thin air, at least they should express their gratitude, there is no such calm reason. If others may not be able to see through Yinxiang's disguise, but Nian Qianyao is not comparable to ordinary people, it is an old fox who has only become a fine spirit, seeing that the situation is not right, he pulled out the big knife on his waist with a "swish", and immediately stepped forward, trying to take Yinxiang as a hostage.

Although Nian Qianyao was born as a jinshi, he has two hands under his hands, and his martial arts can be regarded as good. At this time, Yinxiang just got up, people have not had time to stand firm, and the gang of people Goshha is still a few feet away from Yinxiang, the incident is sudden, even if it is a little too late to rescue, seeing that Yinxiang is about to fall into the palm of Nian Qianyao's hand, suddenly "ping" a loud sound, Yinxiang's Goshha group of fires flashed, Nian Qianyao's horse head suddenly exploded a ball of blood, the original galloping war horse suddenly stumbled to the ground with a wail, and the unprepared Nian Qianyao was also thrown off the horse, and fell on the snow. I won't be able to move for a while.

"Come on, take down this gang of thieves who pretend to be Qincha!" A cold voice sounded from the Goshha group, and the army, which was originally a little inexplicable, suddenly let go of the reins, rushed forward, surrounded the so-called ministers of the Qin Mission, and tried to capture this group of people, but although the number of these people was small, they were all brave, and when they saw that they were surrounded, they did not try to resist, everyone drew their knives in their hands, first hacked the eunuchs to death, and then everyone swung their knives to kill themselves, and the corpses fell to the ground, but there was not even a single living mouth. Those dead soldiers died heroically, but unfortunately they still missed a person - after Nian Qianyao planted his horse, he just struggled to stand up, and was put on his neck by several long knives, becoming the only prisoner.

Yinxiang used to often go in and out of the Yongjun Palace, and he was an old acquaintance with Nian Qianyao, but at this moment, he was too lazy to talk to Nian Qianyao, glanced at the dejected old man cake, smiled contemptuously, and shouted: "Tie it up, take it down, if he wants to escape, he will be killed!" After Nian Qianyao was escorted down, Yinxiang looked at the extraordinary Goshha beside him, and asked with some surprise: "What was that fire gun just now?" ”

"Yu Dashuai, that is a divine weapon given by my lord, called a revolver." The Goshha replied without condescension.

"Oh? What a great guy, can you borrow this handsome to take a look? Yinxiang asked curiously.

"Please forgive me, this thing is given by the prince of my family, the villain does not dare to call the shots, if the marshal likes it, you can ask for it from the prince of my family." The Gosh Ha paused for a moment and said: "Dashuai, the front is the Jingshi realm, and someone will come to answer in a while, Dashuai, please go." As soon as the words fell, he took out a firework from his arms, pulled the fire rope, and threw it into the sky with all his might, instantly exploding a brilliant spark in the gray sky.

Although Yinxiang was greedy for the magical revolver, he also knew that this was not the time to get to the bottom of it, so he waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Let's go!" "I took the lead and rushed forward along the snow-covered avenue, and the horses' hooves passed, snowflakes splashed, and the momentum of more than 8,000 cavalry rushing up at the same time was really amazing. This road galloped, just turned a mountain bend, by the gradually brightening sky has been able to see the majestic Beijing city in the distance, Yinxiang just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly there was a rush of horses' hooves in front of the ground, listening to the sound is the cavalry is rushing to this place at full speed. Yinxiang's face changed suddenly, and he ordered loudly: "Prepare for war!" Prepare for battle! Enemy attack! ”

"Don't worry, the prince has arrived." The weird Goshha said calmly. After a while, more than 3,000 cavalry rushed to the front, a burly giant man rushed to the front first, suddenly waved his hand, more than 3,000 horsemen almost at the same time reined in the reins, and stopped steadily, the giant man came to Yinxiang's army, turned over and dismounted, and hit a thousand words: "Xiao Wanghong, the chief soldier of the Bauhinia Pass, see the marshal!" The lower official has been waiting here for a long time on the order of Prince Yi, please show the marshal! ”

Yinxiang is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he can see that the soldiers and horses on this road have been recuperating for a long time, and his intentions are nothing more than two - if he has no dissenting intentions, this team is the reinforcements that come to respond, but if he has a dissenting heart, as soon as the soldiers and horses come out, the tired army that has galloped for thousands of miles cannot stop the attack of this army at all. Although Yinxiang had long known that his sixth brother was a master of the art of war strategy, he was still shocked by Yinzuo's calculations, and secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, and he was a little absorbed in thinking for a while, and he actually forgot to issue an order, until the Goshha coughed lightly, he woke him up suddenly, raised his hand, signaled Xiao Wanghong to get up, and said very politely: "Lord Xiao has worked hard, set off, march to Changchun Garden!" ”

The winter night is always very long, it is already three o'clock in the morning, the sky is still not bright, a group of princes and magnates, and hundreds of officials of the court got up in order to pray for the old man Kangxi, but they got up in Yinshi, and hurried out of the city, and arrived at Changchun Garden at the time of Mao, and waited for a long time in the snow at the gate of the garden, and did not wait for the news from the garden, although it was very cold, but no one dared to complain, they could only gossip together, until the hour was approaching, Li Dequan led a group of little eunuchs to hurry out of the garden, Xuanda entered the garden to pray for the old man Kangxi, and the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the garden in line according to the level of the title.

In the past, the brothers always had to tease each other when they met, chattering, but now the big guys seem to have lost their enthusiasm, and a group of brothers are silent, although their faces are still calm, but they are a little in a trance when they walk, and they look absent-minded, Yinzuo is no exception, although people are walking on the path of Changchun Garden, but the heart has already run outside the garden, and there is a stomach full of worries.

The snow in the open space of Changchun Garden has already been cleaned, and a small platform in the shape of a law hall is being erected in the center of the field. Just when the ministers were puzzled, Zhang Tingyu, the only minister in the study room of the Xi Dynasty, hurried over with the holy decree in his hand, and did not greet the ministers, but walked directly to the Dharma Hall, glanced at the ministers, spread out the holy decree in his hand, and read it out loud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Prince Chuancheng Yinzhi, Prince Yi Yinzuo, Yongjun Wang Yinzhen, Lianjun Wang Yinxi, Wubeile Yinqi...... And officials above the third grade in Beijing went to Qingxi Book House to meet them, and they admired this! ”

At this time, the officials who didn't know the inside story realized that things didn't seem so simple, and in an instant, the ministers discussed in a chaotic manner, and the only remaining solemn atmosphere was destroyed in an instant. Lao Ba originally planned to go into the garden to make a whistle and sneak to the Fengtai camp to preside over the overall situation, but now it is easy to enter the garden and difficult to get out of the garden.

On the way to Qingxi Bookstore, Lao Shi Yinxuan suddenly sighed in the crowd: "Oops, I had a bad stomach yesterday, Lord Zhang, wait for Ben Beizi to relieve himself for a while and then go to meet Huang Ama." Seeing Lao Shi's strange appearance of pretending to be a ghost, a group of brothers suddenly coaxed and said everything.

Hey, Lao Shi, this kid played peeing, interesting, haha, let's see how Comrade Lao Zhang solves it. Yinzuo saw through Lao Shi's intentions at a glance, and he didn't say anything, it depends on how Zhang Tingyu will deal with it - if Yinzuo comes to power, this Lord Zhang is one of the people who want to be reused, although he has worked together for many days in the past, but he really hasn't had much contact, to be honest, Yinzuo really didn't see the advantages other than caution from Zhang Tingyu, this time to see how Zhang Tingyu handled this matter, it can be regarded as a test for Zhang Tingyu.

"Tenth Master, if you have a bad stomach, it's not good, but it doesn't hurt, walk a few steps, and when you get to the Qingxi Book House, there are your own doctors waiting, even the bedpan is not lacking, if the Tenth Master is in a hurry, please go ahead." Zhang Tingyu's gentle words broke the old ten's plan to urinate, and Yinzuo laughed in his heart when he heard it. In desperation, Lao Shi glanced at Zhang Tingyu, and had to speed up his pace and go forward.

A group of powerful people walked silently for a while, and then came to Qingxi Bookstore, Yinzuo came to the door, looked back in the direction of Wangjing Division, and laughed self-deprecatingly - years of hard work is for today, may not be able to fulfill their own wishes but it is not easy to say, it is a lie to say that you are not nervous, but what can you do if you are nervous? Yinzuo walked in with some concern......
