Chapter 1: The Angry Horse and the Outcast
It's the end of spring and the beginning of summer in June, and the wind and sun are beautiful.
The blue sky is like a sea hanging upside down, dotted with white clouds.
Under the blue sky like the sea, there is peace in the reckless mountains and forests.
Suddenly, countless mountain birds were startled, flew out of the forest, gathered together, formed a black net, and fluttered left and right in the air.
Moments after they flew out, horses galloped along the mountain path, kicking up billowing smoke and dust.
A young man in brocade, carrying a treasure knife at his waist, rode a red horse to take the lead.
Dozens of armor-piercing Praetorian troops followed.
This person is none other than Zhao Hongming, the martial king who drove away from Daliang City.
The moment he came out of Daliang City, he was extremely excited, and he still had a smile on his face at this time.
After two years of waiting, I finally waited for this moment.
From today onwards, he will not be bothered by the red tape of the court every day, and he can do whatever he wants.
He kept riding his horse, letting the breeze blow on his face, greedily breathing in the breath of freedom in the mountains and forests.
Fresh clothes are angry horses, and they are in high spirits for a while.
Da Da Da ......
The crowd swept through the mountains and forests.
A group of them are all martial artists, with strong physical strength, and they drive non-stop.
Inadvertently, I ran forty or fifty miles.
After approaching a shallow river, the excitement in Zhao Hongming's heart gradually subsided.
He glanced at the sky and led everyone to a shady place to rest on the bank of the shallow river.
"Where are we now? How long does it take to get to Yingjun? ”
Zhao Hongming took the water bladder handed over by Gao Yanshi, raised his head and took a big sip, and asked Wu Qi beside him.
Wu Qi dismounted and saluted: "Back to Your Highness, we are now in Wugong Mountain, and across that mountain is Heyuan County." ”
Zhao Hongming bowed his head slightly.
When he was in the palace, he didn't look at the map.
His fiefdom of Ying County was located in the southeast of the Wei State, about 500 miles away from Daliang City.
If they arrived in Hewon-gun, they would be able to arrive in three or five days.
Zhao Hongming said: "Let all the brothers have a good rest, be sure to go to Cheng County in Heyuan County before dark, we will rest in Cheng County." ”
"Yes." Wu started his head and should go down.
Zhao Hongming walked to the shallow river, stared at the flowing river, and fell into thought.
He learned from Yutu that there was a big river in his fiefdom in Ying County, called Ying River.
The Ying River can carry big boats, and it can go straight to the sea through Zhao State, and there is a Ying Mountain at the source of the big river.
As long as you pass through Yingshan, to the west is the endless Hewon County, and there is no danger in the middle.
With such an important position, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Yuxu naturally wanted to send a trustworthy person.
Zhao Hongming, who has a high level of martial arts cultivation, has become the obvious candidate.
Zhao Hongming remembered that the county guard of Ying County was named Chen Shenghai, who came from Chenjiazhuang, and was the cultivation of the second grade of martial arts.
Chenjiazhuang is at most a second- or third-rate martial arts force in the entire Wei State, but it is a behemoth in Ying County.
It is said that this Chenjiazhuang has been deeply cultivated in Ying County for many years, and it is a proper head snake.
Before the Three Kingdoms attacked Wei, Emperor Jian'an opened a hole for the martial arts forces in these border lands in order to defend the three border lands.
Now half of the political officials in Ying County are from these martial arts forces.
This Chen Shenghai also ascended to the throne during this period and became a county guard.
After Zhao Hongming passed, the first thing was to deal with this Chen Shenghai.
In addition to Chen Shenghai, the county guard, the county lieutenant of Ying County is from the Eastern Army, and he is not a good person to get along with.
He heard the imperial court mention that when General Feng Yi deployed troops against Zhao State, the county lieutenants of Ying County were all in line with Yin and Yang, and it was difficult to mobilize.
Although the younger generations of the Huo family did not show too much talent in martial arts cultivation, they had some talent in gathering places.
The Eastern Army was made into an iron bucket by them, and it was difficult for outsiders to intervene.
What's even more troublesome is that the Wei-Han border and the Wei-Chu border have experienced a major war, and the local martial arts forces of all sizes have been somewhat consumed, but the Wei-Zhao border has been affected by the troops sent by the Qi State, and there has not been too fierce fighting.
Therefore, the strength of the local martial arts forces has been relatively intact.
Now the martial arts forces on these borders are faintly tending to grow.
Zhao Hongming felt that his next situation was not so safe, and he would face many problems.
But it's all here, and there is absolutely no reason to retreat.
He saw that the sun was hanging high in the sky, so he called Gao Yanshi and said: "Gu Cong has brought a lot of pills from the palace, you take out some qi and blood pills and distribute them to everyone, and relieve everyone's fatigue." ”
Gao Yanshi nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
The Qi and Blood Pill was a common pill used by martial artists to replenish energy, and he felt that Wu Qi and the other guards were running all the way and were easily tired.
When he left the palace, he brought a lot of pills, especially the basic Qi and Blood Pills.
Gao Yanshi took out a small blue bag and shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Highness is sympathetic to you, and has specially prepared a qi and blood pill for all the soldiers, you can come to receive it, and each person can get one pill." ”
Zhao Hongming, who was beside him, glanced at Gao Yanshi without a trace, and immediately felt that he was very good at doing things.
If Wang Bao was here, he would only be sent out in obscurity, but he let the soldiers collect it themselves, and also proclaimed his name.
He thought about a small thing very far, which made Zhao Hongming worry a lot.
Wu Qi is also a person with a lively mind, and after seeing Gao Yanshi's move, he was very cooperative and stepped forward to be the first to receive it: "Thank Your Highness for giving Dan." ”
After he took the lead, the rest of the forbidden army also got up one after another and came to collect the pills.
After receiving it, I don't forget to thank you.
Zhao Hongming saw that the others were almost resting, so he didn't delay any longer and rushed towards the next mountain.
Everyone rested in Cheng County that night according to the plan.
The order of Cheng County personally received them, and there was a dust washing banquet in the local area because of this, which he shirked because he was unwell.
When it dawned the next day, Zhao Hongming did not have any delay and continued to bury his head in the road.
As they moved away from Daliang City, scattered homeless people began to appear on the road.
As we got closer to Yingjun, these homeless people became more and more common.
They all wore vegetables on their faces, and those with ordinary family backgrounds carried a straw mat on their backs, and followed the team numbly with sticks.
If the family is better, he will push a wheelbarrow to carry the family's belongings.
It is in stark contrast to what Zhao Hongming and the others are wearing.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongming's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Gao Yanshi, go and inquire, where did these homeless people come from and where are they going?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Don't tell Lone's name, if you really want to ask, just say that Lone's name is Wei Wuji, and he is a gentleman from Heyuan County."
Gao Yanshi didn't say much, and hurriedly responded.
Zhao Hongming's mind moved, and he called Chang Wuxian and said: "You go and tell the soldiers of Wu Tun that now you are called Wei Wuji, and let them not report the name of Gu at will." ”
Chang Wuxian nodded and said, "Yes." ”
After a while, Gao Yanshi walked back and replied: "Gentleman, the servants have inquired clearly, these people are all fleeing from the south of Wei State, and some of them are going to Ying County, and some of them are going to Zhao State. ”
