Chapter 329

Zhu Sanjia heard Murong Danyan's exclamation, but they were also silent, as if they were quite unimpressed by the ancestor's actions. For a while, no one spoke, and just walked forward silently.

At this time, the ground under his feet was not as steep as Fang Cai, and it seemed to circle around the side of the mountain. The wind in the cave is still not small, and there are forks in the road from time to time on both sides. The wind that came out of the fork in the road was even stronger, and every now and then the flames burning on the torches were blown to and fro.

After half a pillar of incense, Li Qiufeng couldn't help it, and said to Zhu Sanjia: "Third Brother Zhu, I don't know if the ancestor of the Sha family escaped later?"

Only then did Zhu Sanjia come back to his senses and said, "Naturally, they escaped, otherwise how could there be Shajiabao?" At that time, the leader of the Tartar soldiers had already fled first, and the remaining more than 4,000 Tartar soldiers had no command and had to fight on their own. The battlefield was littered with flesh and blood, groaning and screaming. The ancestors of the Sha family and the ancestors of my family took off the armor from the Ming soldiers who died in the battle, put it on themselves, and then searched everywhere on the battlefield for the soldiers of the Yanwangfu Protector who had not yet died in battle, and killed the wounded soldiers while people were not paying attention. Zhang Xin's Ming army suddenly attacked the guards of Yanwangfu, and a rain of arrows killed most of the remaining Yanwangfu guards, and almost everyone was wounded, so most of these wounded soldiers were gathered in one place. The two took advantage of the chaos to kill more than 20 wounded soldiers, and patrolled around for more than half an hour, until they confirmed that there were no more surviving soldiers from the Yanwang Mansion, and the two took advantage of the Ming army to surround and kill the remnants of more than 100 Tartar soldiers, and quietly slipped out of the battlefield.

At that time, it was getting late, and there were no five fingers around, and the two of them were crawling and crawling, just trying to stay away from the battlefield. It wasn't until after dawn that I realized that I had fled to a small hillside. The two estimated that they were far away from the battlefield, so they were a little relieved, but they only felt extremely tired, and they each fell asleep leaning on the rock.

"When the ancestor of my family was asleep, he dreamed that he was seriously injured and was trying to hide in the pile of dead people to avoid pursuit, but he saw the ancestor of the Sha family staring at his blood-red eyes and carrying a bloody knife in his hand, and he was approaching himself. He was so frightened that he opened his mouth to shout, but suddenly, he found that his mouth was covered.

The ancestor originally thought that he was in a dream, but he opened his eyes in a hurry, but he saw that the ancestor of the Sha family was staring at him with a pair of blood-red eyes, covering his mouth with his left hand, and holding a bloody knife in his right hand, staring at him like a fierce god. The ancestor was in his heart, secretly thinking that the ancestor of the Sha family had bad intentions, and even wanted to kill himself? ! When he was frightened, he saw the ancestor of the Sha family 'shh Only then did the ancestor hear the sound of horses' hooves at the foot of the mountain not far away, and it seemed that a large number of people and horses were passing by.

"The ancestor was relieved at this time, but he heard the ancestor of the Sha family lower his voice and said: 'There are soldiers and horses passing by, you kid is squeaking in his dream, and he was almost discovered!' The ancestor then understood why he covered his mouth, and he was secretly ashamed in his heart. At this time, the two leaned on a mountain rock, poked their heads out and looked down, but saw a large number of Ming troops passing at the foot of the mountain, and the banner was the army that surrounded and suppressed the Tartar soldiers yesterday. How dare the two of them show up, they don't even dare to make a sound, for fear of being discovered.

"This Ming army won the battle, and it was really complacent, and the sound of laughter reached the hill. After the army, there was a team of mules and horses, and on top of the cart were the heads of the decapitated Tartar soldiers, as well as the captured armor and equipment. The ancestor thought that the heads of his more than 300 companions were also placed on the cart, and his heart couldn't help but hurt......"

When Murong Danyan heard him say this, he thought to himself: "Among the more than three hundred people, dozens of people died under the sword of your ancestor. What's the use of being coy at this time?"

But he heard Zhu Sanjia say: "After this Ming army passed by, the two of them still didn't dare to make a sound, until they confirmed that no one passed by, and then they put their minds at ease." The ancestor has always been a subordinate of the ancestor of the Sha family, so he asked him what the two of them should do next. The ancestor of the Sha family thought for a long time, and said to the ancestor that it seemed that King Yan's plan was seen through by the imperial court, and the army sent to fight the Tartar soldiers was not commanded by King Yan. It's just that when we got out of the fortress, King Yan repeatedly told us that after we stepped out of King Yan's Mansion, we must not say that we were the protectors of King Yan's Mansion, and until King Yan led his troops to the north, we could complete the task and return to King Yan's command. At the moment, without the order of King Yan, we can't go back. ”

When he said this, Murong Danyan sneered and said, "The ancestors of your Zhu family and the Sha family are really stupid, and you really think that after King Yan's plan is successful, you can let them go back? After King Yan's army leaves the fortress, the first thing to kill is to go out of the fortress first and pretend to be more than 300 Tartar soldiers, I am afraid that none of the two ancestors of your Zhu family and the Sha family will be able to escape!"

As soon as Murong Danyan said this, it was unexpected. He always thought that Murong Danyan had no experience in the rivers and lakes, and his vision was really not long-term. It's just that what she said just now makes a lot of sense, it can be said that she has insight into the world and can see the imperial mind of Yan Wang Zhu Di clearly.

After Zhu Sanjia heard this, he stopped and turned around with a torch in his hand. Under the light of the torch, I saw him look surprised, staring at Murong Danyan, and said in a trembling voice: "This little brother, Lao Zhu really looks down on you, I can't imagine that you have such knowledge?!"

Murong Danyan snorted and said, "What's the big deal about this? There are many murderous things in the rivers and lakes, not to mention the King of Yan who wants to fight for the world? If he doesn't kill these more than 300 people, the news will inevitably leak out, and then there will inevitably be another turmoil, and the people will not be convinced." King Yan wants to be the emperor, and there must be no trouble. I'm afraid that when he sent out more than 300 people, he would already have murderous intentions. ”

Zhu Sanjia nodded, turned around and walked forward again, and said: "As the little brother said, after listening to the words of the ancestor of the Sha family, the ancestor of my family was shocked in his heart, and asked, is it possible that if the Yan Wangfu does not come to answer, we will stay in this desert forever? The ancestor of the Sha family smiled bitterly, and said to the ancestor of my family, if the king of Yan does not come to answer, it is not a good thing for the Yan family's mansion, but for you and me, life can be temporarily saved.

"When my ancestors heard him, they were stunned. The ancestor of the Sha family said, the day we leave the Yanwang Mansion is the time when we become an outcast. No matter whether things succeed or fail, King Yan will not allow us to live in the world. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and the imperial court sent other generals to lead the army to the north, breaking King Yan's plan. At present, the Yan Wangfu must be re-planning, first of all, we must confirm whether our identity has been discovered by the imperial court. If we didn't reveal our identities, there would be no need for Yanwangfu to kill us, and there would be room to go around in circles. If the imperial court already knew that the Tartar soldiers were pretending to be us, then the Yanwang Mansion would definitely not let us go.

"The ancestor of my family was frightened after hearing this, the ancestor of the Sha family seemed to have expected him to react like this, and then said, the day we became the guards of the Yan Palace, this life is not our own. This time, King Yan sent us to do this errand, except for me, I am afraid that these more than 300 brothers do not know what will happen. You probably don't understand why I knew that this trip would cost us our lives, and I would take my brothers out of the jam. It's just that have you thought about it, let's serve as soldiers and eat food, and how many of them can glorify our ancestors and return to their hometowns? Let's go north with King Yan several times, not to mention other battalions, even our guards have killed more than 2,000 people. You must know that if you die on the battlefield, it is only a pension of three taels of silver, and when it comes to the hands of those officials who have to pickle dirty, you will have a layer of skin and fall into the hands of your family, and it will be good to have a few copper coins. This time, King Yan sent us on an errand, and Master Yao promised us in advance that if there were casualties, each person would be given ten taels of silver, and the family would be exempted from forced labor for ten years. Brother, if you think about it carefully, even if our trip is completed, then King Yan will inevitably raise troops to go south, and then the battlefield will be battled, and there will be no eyes for swords and guns, but I am afraid that few of the brothers will be able to return home alive. It's better to do your best to make this trip a good one, get a pension and two silver, and have a wife and children to rely on. For now, we can only stay outside the plug and wait for the arrangement of the Yan Wangfu.

When the ancestor heard him say this, his heart couldn't help but feel sad. He was born in the army, and after dozens of battles, he became the guard of King Yan. originally wanted to fight for a career with the true ability of a knife and a gun, but I didn't expect it to be just a dream. It's just that he has been with the ancestors of the Sha family for many years, and he knows that he is far inferior to him in terms of wisdom and martial arts. Now that he has an idea, he listens to it.

The two stayed until it was dark before they slipped down the hill. Because they were outside the fortress, they would encounter the Tartar soldiers at any time, so the two of them took off their armor and buried them, and then went to the herdsman's house to steal two clothes to change into, and wandered around in the steppe desert. Until one day, the two of them were outside a tribe, and they met a messenger sent by the Yan Wangfu to find them, and secretly brought the two back to Beiping.

After the two entered the mansion, King Yan personally summoned them, not only comforted the two, but also rewarded each of them with fifty taels of silver. Later, Yao Guangxiao, the mastermind of King Yan, summoned the two and had a secret conversation with them for a long time. What a great character Yao Guangxiao is, during the conversation with the two, he judged that the two were not fake, so he relieved himself and asked the two to recuperate in the house first, and then make arrangements.

The two stayed in the house, but they were worried every day. I want to find an acquaintance with the guards to inquire about the news, but I know that the Yanwang Mansion is the tiger's den in Longtan, and I am afraid that if I am not careful, it will lead to a catastrophe. The two had to endure themselves, until more than ten days later, Yao Guangxiao suddenly summoned the two again.

This time, Yao Guangxiao was straight to the point, and said to the ancestors of the Sha family that the imperial court's persecution of King Yan was worse than day by day, and King Yan's military power had been deprived, and the army stationed in Beiping could attack King Yan's mansion at any time. King Yan refused to sit back and was secretly preparing to fight back. It's just that the ordnance and armor are insufficient now, and we have to think of ways to buy them quickly. Beiping City is full of imperial court eyeliner, and wanting to build ordnance and armor can only leave a pretext for the imperial court to 'cut the domain'. It is necessary to find another safe place, send reliable personnel to supervise the work, and complete the armament and armor as soon as possible. ”

When Li Qiufeng heard him say this, he had vaguely guessed in his heart what Yao Guangxiao said about "safe place" and "reliable personnel". He thought to himself: "Yao Guangxiao is worthy of being the 'black-clothed prime minister', with far-reaching vision, and he is indeed a masterpiece!"
