046 Confused fruit on the tree, you and me under the fruit
"Master, since this surnamed Zhao has already recruited the Mighty General's Mansion, why don't we secretly escort him back to Beijing in case of emergency?"
In the second half of the night, it snowed heavily in the sky, and the guards ignored Zhao Rong and the others, who had been dead on the ground for an unknown amount of time, and began to express their opinions.
Their trip is called the princess's personal guard, but in fact, it is the dark department that the Qi family has cultivated for many years, and they have been secretly protecting their master all these years.
As the head of the shadows, Twilight is as able to speak in front of Qi Xiao as the deputy general Qin Chai.
"The mighty general's mansion has the merit of supporting Taizu's founding of the country, and although the power of the century-old is not as good as the Guogong Mansion and several marquis mansions, it is also a behemoth with deep roots in the Jokhang Dynasty. Now that he is married to the third princess, with the prince and Concubine Fang as guarantors, it is impossible to bring them down by relying on these little minions. ”
Qi Xiao didn't look at the two corpses on the ground, and turned around and walked directly towards the post station.
Other guards in the rear picked up the body and sent it to the place where the body was burned not far away.
The great plague will be followed by the great plague, and the same will be true after the great war.
Therefore, after cleaning up none of these mountain bandits, Qi Xiao immediately issued an order to burn them on the spot.
"Can we just let them blatantly assassinate the princess and thwart your relief?"
Twilight frowned, he was once the deputy general of the prince Qi Shen, and he knew that it was not easy for his third son to get to where he is today.
However, in order to get this opportunity, the princess did not hesitate to sacrifice her own safety and made a military order that no one would be held accountable.
So although they won tonight, they were still passive.
Who knew that Qi Xiao, who heard the words, was not worried but smiled, and the light-colored pupils were full of extremely cold edges:
"Do you think Feng Xi is really a fool? If you think about it carefully, she said that she wouldn't pursue those people, but she didn't say that she wouldn't fight back when others came to kill her. Didn't she say that? Kill, kill, kill until some people have a physical pain. ”
"What do you mean ......"
Twilight's eyes lit up, as if she had caught something in an instant.
Without waiting for Qi Xiao to speak again, Twilight had already ordered ten people to come out of the queue and quietly sneaked towards the back mountain.
According to Pang Hua's confession, there is still a trap on it.
At the same time, in the Liangzhou Mansion, the prefect Liu Quanping was sitting in the study, always paying attention to the movements outside Liangzhou City.
He had received news as early as yesterday that a disaster relief team led by Princess Zhaoming would enter his jurisdiction tonight, and they would either stay overnight at the post station or rush into the city overnight.
But either way, they will be attacked by mountain bandits, and the purpose of the attack is to kill Princess Zhaoming on the spot, so that she can spit out the disaster relief matters she ate before entering Liangzhou.
Of course, as mentioned above, although they moved their hands and feet in the escort army, and the only military general in the team was also their man, but the world was unpredictable, and they did not rule out the possibility that Zhaoming would break out of the encirclement or send people to Liangzhou for help.
For this reason, he must always be vigilant, ready to strangle in the name of acceptance, or take down the messenger and let Princess Zhaoming fend for herself.
"My lord, it's almost hour, and there is no movement outside the city, so I guess it's done."
Master Zhu Fu walked into the room quickly, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
As long as they don't have to do it themselves, that's fine.
"Okay, you immediately send someone to inform Wang Duwei and ask him to lead his troops to line up outside the city gate, and then the official will go out of the city to look for him."
Liu Quanping smiled, the big thing has been accomplished, and in two days, in the name of suppressing bandits, he will kill some refugees who have gone south and hand them over, and this matter should be almost the same.
Tsk, who would have thought that this little phoenix would become his Liu Quanping's vote for gaining a firm foothold in the princelings?
In the early morning, Feng Xi was woken up by the sound of asking to see her outside, because she was a strange woman who did not bring a maid with her, so Li Ge Lao and others, who were concerned about disaster relief, could only shout outside the door.
They didn't want to disturb the princess's rest, didn't the pony disappear after leaving a dozen or so people to protect the princess outside the princess's door last night......
"Qi Xiao, this liar!"
Feng Xi turned her grief and anger into food, biting the spring rolls while listening to the reports of the officials.
According to Li Ge Lao and the others, their losses last night were enough for them to go home.
Among them, 411 of the 1,000 people of the escort team were lost, and nearly 100 were wounded in battle, but fortunately, most of them were slightly wounded, so there were still more than 520 people who could continue on the road.
But the guards are still there, but the supplies are gone......
That's right, there were twenty of their baggage trucks, and eleven of them were burned down by the bandits.
"Lao Chen originally thought that there were still nine carts of things left, so we could go to Liangzhou first and then ask the DPRK and China to mobilize. But who would have thought ......"
When Elder Li Ge said this, his whole person was a little depressed.
And Liu Wanshi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, on the side, invited a small servant and held a handful of fine sand and wheat stalks for Feng Xi to see.
Feng Xi: "? ”
Seeing Feng Xi's complicated expression, Li Ge Lao had no choice but to say in a deep voice:
"That's right, the remaining nine cars are actually loaded with these foolish things."
Forcibly pressing down the three question marks on his head, Feng Xi smiled and said:
"So you didn't even know what was on the cart at first?"
Li Ge Lao did not answer this, but Lin Qian, the household servant who was responsible for managing the materials, took it.
"Back to the princess, the villain is cunning, and not every car is full of scrap."
As he spoke, he had a bag of flour come up and split it directly from the middle.
I saw that the bag of flour was only surrounded by flour, and most of the middle was wheat straw and fine sand.
The camouflage is so careful that it is really difficult to guard.
If they hadn't accidentally spilled a bag during the inspection, they wouldn't have been able to see through the secret.
"Princess, it's me who is incompetent, it's me who hurt you......"
As the first assistant minister of this disaster relief, Li Ge was so angry that his face turned pale, and the aura that had just been made up with a small apple yesterday was showing signs of collapse at this moment.
So Feng Xi took out one again, stuffed it in his hand and said:
"This palace knows that you are in a hurry, but don't worry about it first."
Li Ge Lao looked at the apple in his hand at a loss, thinking that the situation had been like this, could he not be in a hurry?
As a result, I heard Feng Xi say:
"You're in a hurry, this relief has just begun, and worse is yet to come."
Li Gelao: "......"
Officials: "......"
Seeing that Elder Li Ge was about to vomit blood by Feng Xiqi, a guard outside the door walked in quickly and said:
"Princess, there are a large number of people coming from the direction of Liangzhou City, look at the people who look like the Liangzhou Mansion."
"The Mansion?"
Hearing this, Li Ge Lao and the others couldn't take care of it, and almost immediately went to the window to check.
Sure enough, there was a team of 100 people in the distance, led by a blue tweed official sedan chair, which was being carried by four burly sedan chair drivers to the post station.
According to the specifications, the sedan chair is seated because it is the prefect of a state, and the one behind the sedan chair is riding a high-headed horse and wearing soft armor, because it is undoubtedly the governor of a state.
If these people had come last night, they would have applauded, but they were at the stall where there was a big mistake in this material......
And Li Ge Lao and the others didn't know that while they had a headache about this, they also got the news that Liu Quanping, who was standing outside the post station, was also confused.
What about cleaning up the mess?
