A Thousand Mountains Qingdai Section 137
"Aren't you and that little Langjun from King Ning's Mansion often together? Is there any news about Pei Langjun and the imperial court recently? Gu Twelve remembered the scene of going to find Pei Xiaoyuan yesterday, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart after all, so he asked Guo Guo'er in a low voice.
Guo Guo'er shook his head silently, and Gu Twelve had no choice but to give up. Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and a group of heavily armed men and horses wearing forbidden army talismans were galloping along the river bank, all of them looking fierce and vicious, as if they were on a mission.
The pedestrians and merchants on the street were afraid of being hit and had nowhere to reason, so they took refuge, and the originally lively and orderly streets suddenly became chickens and dogs.
Gu Twelve recognized this team leader, named Jiang Zhao, who was the deputy of Lu Jingchen, the general of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. Needless to say, Lu Jingchen's background is almost the same as Han Kerang's character, this Jiang Zhao usually relies on his identity to be arrogant and looks down on people.
Seeing this situation, although Gu Twelve was dissatisfied in his heart, he only knew that in this extraordinary period, the other party was indeed not small, and it was not something that a small person like himself could stop, so he was about to turn around and continue his business, not wanting Jiang Zhao to stop his horse, he glanced at this side, and then, with a raised arm, the forbidden army of dozens of people immediately dismounted, galloped towards this side, and surrounded him in the center in an instant.
"You are Gu Twelve?" Jiang Zhao rode to the front, looked at it, and asked.
Gu Twelve nodded yes.
"Grab it!" Jiang Zhao said coldly. Several of the forbidden soldiers in front of them took the chains and swarmed up.
Gu Twelve is not a person who is easy to obey, punches and kicks, and knocks down the person who is close to him in a few strokes.
"Why did you arrest me? Can there be a Yamen official document? β
After Gu Twelve knocked down the person, he raised his voice to ask.
Jiang Zhao was stunned, and when he saw that his face was fearless, he became more and more annoyed in his heart, and snorted coldly: "General Lu takes you, what kind of official document do you need?" Do you know that you have committed a crime yourself? Don't be quick to catch it! β
At this time, a large group of Gu Twelve's subordinates saw this, put down their work, and pulled out the knives, guns and sticks that they had just put away because of their work, and all surrounded them, standing behind Gu Twelve. Someone had already seen that the situation was not good, and went to call the brothers who were still elsewhere. Soon, more and more people arrived from all directions, and some were coming by boat, and at least 100 people gathered at once, and the dock was impassable.
Hundreds of people against dozens of people, the momentum of the two sides reversed.
Jiang Zhao came to get people today, how could he look at these coolie foot men in his eyes? It's just that I didn't expect the other party to be able to gather so many people at once, if he really resists arrest and fights, his side may not be able to gain the upper hand, and if he is told to escape, it will be even worse.
He regretted underestimating the enemy in his heart, and didn't bring more people, and his face became more and more fierce: "Okay, this is to openly confront the imperial court?" It just so happens that while you are here, today you who usually plague the market will be brought to justice, and all of them will be arrested, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people! β
As his words fell, the merchants and townspeople who had gathered to see the excitement in the vicinity looked angry and whispered, and there was a chaotic buzzing sound around the docks.
"Who do you say is splashing? We are brothers, but we are all martial artists who have been named in Jinwuwei! A straight person behind Gu Twelve was not angry and retorted.
Jiang Zhao sneered: "It's not what it used to be, when is it, and you still use Lu Wusi to scare people?" Your Si Cheng, now I am afraid that the mud bodhisattva has crossed the river, and it will be difficult to protect himself. Ask for yourselves! β
Everyone usually respects Pei Xiaoyuan very much, but when they heard his disrespectful words at this moment, they were all enraged, and they rushed forward and scolded loudly. How could Jiang Zhao be willing to lose face in public, and hurriedly gave an order, commanding his subordinates to line up in front of the horse: "General Lu has an order, those who dare to resist arrest will be killed!" β
"Get on the bow!"
With his order, the dozens of forbidden troops he brought immediately fought in front of him, and the crossbowmen were at the front, quickly raised their bows, and aimed their sharp arrows at the people opposite, ready to attack.
There was a moment of silence and a pause. Several of Gu Twelve's henchmen, all of whom were outlaws, glanced at each other, walked behind Gu Twelve and whispered: "Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood." None of us have any family to wear, we can go anywhere! Wait for all of them to rush up, kill them by surprise, you take advantage of the chaos, and then we will walk down the alley, scatter all over the place, and then meet! β
If something similar happened in the past, Gu Twelve would naturally do so, and he was also familiar with the road. This time, however, he hesitated.
Why did the other party take himself, he was faintly clear in his heart, knowing that this time was different from before, and if he left, he might not be useful, but would affect more people.
was hesitating, Jiang Zhao on the other side showed a fierce face, pulled out his waist knife and raised it high above his head, waving it while shouting: "Gu Twelve!" You are no longer bound, don't blame me for ordering the arrows to be released! I counted to three! β
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three-"
"Stop!"
Just when the eyes of the surrounding people widened in horror, the crossbowmen were ready to attack, and the people behind Gu Twelve were surging, accompanied by the noise of horses' hooves stepping on the stone pavement of the port, someone screamed.
Then, another group of men came from the other side of the long street. The movement immediately attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Zhao also turned his head to look and saw that the other party was Jin Wuwei, the leader of the horse was dressed in armor and had a majestic face, and it was actually Han Kerang, the general of Jin Wu.
Jiang Zhao's position in the forbidden army is not low, and the forbidden army belongs to the Northern Ya, and has never had anything to do with Jin Wuwei. However, Han Kerang was a general of Sanpin, and he finally pressed him. Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he hesitated, but he still dismounted, hugged his fists in Chao Han Kerang, and saluted.
"The lower officials are here on official business, but General Han arrived. If the way of the general is blocked, the lower officer will give way first. β
After he finished speaking, he ordered his men to retreat to the side of the street and let Jin Wuwei pass.
Han Kerang didn't move, sat on the horse, stood still, his eyes swept over Gu Twelve and the others, who were still tense all over, and pointed: "This person's name is Lu Wusi, only half of Jin Wuwei's people, but he can also be regarded as my subordinate." I'll deal with it. Go ahead, don't meddle. β
Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment, with a reluctant smile on his face, stepped forward to salute again, and said, "The lower official's trip is on the orders of General Lu." This person is involved in an important case, and the lower officials can't get anyone, how can they explain when they go back? Please also ask the general to make it convenient, don't be embarrassed to get off the office. β
Han Kerang smiled: "Isn't it your boss's business?" I'll just say hello to him when I get back. After he finished speaking, seeing that Jiang Zhao still refused to leave, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "What, do you want me to make a note for you?" β
What kind of person Han Kerang was by the emperor's side, Jiang Zhao saw that he turned his face, how could he dare to continue to disobey his orders, so he had to give up, he didn't even dare to say, he made a gesture to the other side, and said goodbye. The Forbidden Army's crossbowmen obeyed, and he led the men and horses away.
As the forbidden army retreated, the tense atmosphere on the dock suddenly relaxed. Seeing this, many onlookers cheered and thanked Han Kerang. Gu Twelve also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that no matter what, it is better to fall into the hands of Han Kerang than somewhere else.
He settled down, strode to Han Kerang's horse, kowtowed to him and thanked him, and then took the initiative to stretch out his hands and tie them, saying: "One person does things and one person is responsible, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!" The general tied me up! I'll follow the general! β
He spoke like this, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, even in front of the emperor, he was sure that he was greedy for money and did the murder, and as for anything else, he didn't know anything. I was glad that I didn't heed the widow's coaxing last night, and I passed the clear way of the two of them. Otherwise, the woman will be affected this time.
Han Kerang only frowned slightly, didn't say a word, turned the horse's head, left Gu Twelve who was stunned in place, and went with his own people.
Guo Guoer was caught in the crowd, taking everything in her eyes, and gradually showed a little worry. As everyone laughed in rejoicing, he slowly retreated, then squeezed out of the crowd, turned and hurried away.
On this day, early in the morning, the sky was bright, and Su Yu was dressed up and took his painting tools on the road. Yang Zaien took a few eunuchs and palace e's servants, and Zhang Dunyi led the guards and went directly out of Chang'an from Jiacheng.
She wanted to ride a horse and go faster. However, Zhao Zhongfang, who was in charge of this matter, was reluctant, saying that it was cold and windy, and insisted on arranging a carriage for her, but she refused, so he dragged his stump leg and knelt down to plead. She couldn't resist the old palace eunuch, so she could only get into the carriage and set off to the mausoleum of Empress Zhaode.
After leaving the city, after traveling dozens of miles, approaching the mountains and forests, the roads were icy, and the carriage walked more and more slowly. Originally, it could be reached in half a day by horseback, but at this speed, I am afraid that it may not be possible to reach it for most of the day.
The carriage was covered with heavy felt, and there was a burning stove burning very brightly, and the whole person was submerged in a thick and soft blanket, probably because he had not slept well last night, and not long after departure, the feeling of tiredness hit again, and he was drowsy.
She fell asleep unconsciously, and when she woke up, she didn't know how long she had been asleep, so she asked casually, knowing that it was almost noon, but the road was only about half of the way.
"There will be a curtain for the first mile or two, and we will arrive later. When she arrived, the princess rested for a while, ate some food, and then slowly set out on her way. Outside the car, Yang Zaien answered.
As a princess, you can only act in the way of the princess, otherwise, the people around you are at a loss.
The rain responded, and the carriage was carried to the resting place. Come down and go into a tent that is set up on the side of the road. The slaves served food and drink, although it was also exquisite, as if she were in the palace, but she had no appetite at all, and forced a few bites, and even felt sick to her stomach, so she gave up, rested for a while, got into the carriage and went on, and fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, I was told that it was almost dusk and that it was almost time to go to bed.
She didn't want to move at all, and the whole person was lazily curled up in the blanket, staring at a sachet hanging in the corner of the carriage that swayed slightly as the carriage moved forward, and her thoughts gradually drifted, and all the things of last night appeared in front of her.
The rift between her and the man finally inevitably showed its way, revealing what it should be.
After last night, he may have guessed what she knew, as if she understood what he knew, and that's why he turned around after she told him to leave.
It really doesn't make sense to stay. It was like the kiss she asked him to give. In addition to the tacit embarrassment, I can't find the heartbeat and sweetness before this.
Su Yu frowned slightly, closed her eyes, turned over in the blanket, and buried her face deep in a soft pillow.
Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong.
She knew a secret and didn't want to go back to Yongning Mansion or return to the emperor, but the emperor still knew. He personally picked her up overnight, and then, without warning, suddenly arranged something that she could not refuse, sent her out of Chang'an, and told her to go back in a few days......
Something seems to have gone wrong.
During this period of time, all of Aya's affairs related to the government have been transparent to her.
However, he sent spies to check on Wei Juren's whereabouts, but the matter was kept secret.
If it weren't for the accident, she accidentally met Gu Twelve in the orchard to look for him, she didn't know that there was such a thing.
An ominous sense of omen came over her.
Su Yu slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and lowered her head in contemplation, when suddenly, she heard a slight noise in the direction behind the carriage, as if someone had come up, but it was blocked behind and could not be approached.
"What's wrong?" At first, she thought it was a nearby Orion or a mountain dweller, so she asked Yang Zaien, who was following outside the car.
"We are slow, if someone also takes this road, let them pass first, don't block it!" She commanded.
Yang Jae-eun should be.
"Auntieβ"
It was as if a faint call sounded, and before it was finished, it stopped abruptly.
The voice...... Li Xu?
The carriage was still moving forward, and Su Yu pushed the window and looked out.
In the growing twilight, in the distance, she saw Zhang Dunyi and a few guards stop behind, and actually crossed the horse and forcibly stopped two horses from behind. The two people on the horse are both teenagers.
One is Guo Guoer, and the other is Li Xu!
Guo Guo'er didn't dare to resist too much, and was already set up by several guards on the side of the road, blocking things in her mouth and unable to speak. Li Zhi wanted to forcibly break the road. However, although his riding and archery skills are also improving day by day, how can he resist Zhang Dunyi, who is one of the best in Jin Wuwei. When a knife is pressed against the horse's back, the person cannot move, and then the mouth is tightly blocked.
He was struggling in vain, his face was red, and suddenly he saw the rain in front of him, which was gradually moving away with the carriage, showing his face, struggling to stand up, biting Zhang Dunyi's hand, Zhang Dunyi was in pain, and actually told him to break free, and shouted Auntie.
After all, he was the eldest grandson of Ning Wangfu, and Zhang Dunyi didn't dare to be really ruthless, so he hurriedly pounced again, and firmly pressed his face on the horse's back.
"Shut up! Your Majesty has an order not to disturb the princess! He whispered.
But it was too late. Su Yu ordered the carriage to stop early. Yang Jae-en shirked in every possible way, only persuading her to continue to move forward and go to rest quickly. Su Yu got out of the car by himself and walked back quickly. Yang Zaien paused, hurriedly took a large piece from the carriage, and chased after him.
"Let them go!" She ordered.
Zhang Dunyi slowly let go of his hand. Several guards had no choice but to disperse Guo Guo'er.
As soon as Li Yu was free, he jumped off the horse, rushed to the front of Su Yu, and shouted, "Auntie, it's not good! β
Guo Guoer also walked quickly at this time, and without waiting for Su Yu to ask, he told the story of what happened in Xishi in the morning.
"He came to me and told me something. So I went to the master, and I searched everywhere, but I didn't see anyone else. β
His hair was blown by the wind, and his cheeks were even reddened by the wind knife, but he ignored it completely, and his expression was extremely anxious.
"These days, there are so many things happening in the palace, so I listen to Ah Niang, go out less, and don't bother the master. This time, I was afraid that something would happen to my master, so I heard that my aunt was out of the city, so I chased after you! No Aunt can't do it! Auntie, go back and have a look! β
Before Li Yu finished speaking, Su Yu's heartbeat sped up a little.
The premonition she had a moment ago was confirmed! Without thinking about it, she immediately turned to Zhang Dunyi and ordered him to lead a horse for herself and turn back. Zhang Dunyi did not move.
She frowned, and without further ado, she walked over to a stalled horse on the side of the road, and ordered the guards to come down. Yang Jae-eun chased after her to add clothes, and begged her not to go back. Su Yu heard this, and when the guard dismounted in panic, grabbed the reins of the horse, and was about to turn over, at this time, I saw Zhang Dunyi come up with an arrow, call people to line up, block her in front of her, and block the way back.
"I was ordered to send the princess to the queen's mausoleum. Ask the princess to return to the carriage and continue on her way. β
He knelt down and said, his tone respectful, but obviously, he didn't let him go.
She has been out for nearly a day, and she doesn't know what has happened, she is already very anxious, and when she sees this, she is furious, and she draws a saber from the waist of a nearby guard, points at Zhang Dunyi and says, "Do you let me?" If you don't let it again, believe it or not, I'll kill you? β
Zhang Dunyi bowed respectfully: "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey." The princess can kill me. But unless the princess kills me and all her attendants here, she will be sent to the place where she should go, as long as one of them is still alive. β
With that, he got up from the ground. "Someone! Escort the princess to the carriage! β
The coachman had already driven the carriage back, opened the door, and bowed down to wait for her to go up.
Su Yu stared at Zhang Dunyi's eyes. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her, but he still refused to let his steps go.
Su Yu slowly raised his knife.
With a sudden flickering knife light in front of him, Zhang Dunyi closed his eyes. However, the blade did not fall on him.
