Chapter 65: The Boy
Five days later, the black guards originally stationed in the valley were divided into two parts, one part was badly injured and had no combat strength, staying in place and waiting for someone to take them back to Zhu Chiyuan, and the other was intact and headed in the direction of the front line.
Han Ming followed the two hundred or so black guards to the direction of the front line, they did not participate in the frontal army fighting, but to support the other black guards and drag down the spies of the Jia Yue Kingdom.
Han Ming's leg injury would take at least a few months of cultivation to fully recover, so he could only sit in the carriage, the speed of the carriage could not be compared to the fast horse, and Han Ming could not keep up with the large army of the Black Guards from the beginning.
It was impossible for this group of black guards to slow down their march just to wait for one person, so they left thirty black guards to protect Han Ming closely, and the rest continued to rush to the front line.
In addition to these thirty black guards, Huang Sha also stayed, he was afraid that Han Ming would have some accidents, after all, the world is chaotic now, there are everyone, although thirty black guards are more than enough to deal with some ordinary people in the green forest, but who knows where some strange people will appear.
On a wide official road, thirty black guards rode tall horses, surrounded Han Ming's carriage in the middle, and marched forward unhurriedly.
The official roads are not as deserted as before, and now you can see marching convoys everywhere, most of them from nearby states supporting the front line, and there are some patrolling sergeants to maintain order.
The convoy on the official road saw Han Ming's group of people and got out of the way, most of them knew the black guards of the Zhu family, and knew that the black guards were all masters of one as ten. Even if someone didn't know the Zhu family's black guards, just looking at the momentum of those thirty people, they knew that these people were not easy to mess with.
Most of the convoys carrying supplies came and went on this official road, forming long queues, and medicines accounted for a large part of these supplies, all of which were prepared for wounded soldiers on the front line.
Han Ming has been following Heiwei in the mountains for a few days, and there are very few medicinal materials he can get, and now there are many ready-made medicinal materials here, as well as many precious medicinal materials that are rarely seen on weekdays, how could he give up.
Han Ming whispered a few words to Huang Xu, and then sent a few black guards to discuss with those who were transporting the goods, and those who were transporting the goods agreed without too much hesitation. After all, the amount of medicinal materials Han Ming needed was not much, and it was really a drop in the bucket compared to their entire team, and they didn't dare not agree to those black guards with a fierce and vicious expression.
Han Ming's body had almost consumed the Huagong San, he had collected a lot of medicinal materials along the way, and finally configured the Huagong San, and Han Ming also collected some medicinal materials that he didn't expect, and he actually configured the Zhuyan Pill, a magical pill that can slow down the aging of his appearance.
Han Ming and his entourage were really not fast, and they walked on this official road for seven or eight days until they reached the edge of a huge mountain range, and those spies hid in the depths of this mountain range, confronting the Zhu family's black guard and the red family's blood guard.
Han Ming stood on the side of the carriage, quietly looking at the mountain range, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and he was clutching a small wooden box tightly, which were the two pills that Hua Lao had specially asked people to hand over to him.
"Young Master Ming, it's getting late, let's contact the people left here by the black guard first, learn about the situation in the mountain, and then enter the mountain tomorrow, otherwise it will be dangerous to be ambushed by secret agents." Although the spies are now hiding in the mountains and blindly defending, it cannot be ruled out that they may send some men to sneak attack. Huang Xuan walked to Han Ming's side and said directly.
"Everything is up to Commander Huang, the kid has never had such an experience, and he has never played against anyone, he has no experience, Commander Huang decides for himself. Han Ming turned his head and smiled at Huang Xu.
"Okay, I'll send someone to contact those who stay here, I think it will be soon, and I will enter the mountain tomorrow. Huang Xu nodded and said.
"By the way, Commander Huang, do you know why these families and the forces of the Green Forest Sect are so desperately trying their best to support the front line? In the past few days, I have received a lot of medicinal materials that are usually extremely rare, and these medicinal materials are probably treasures that these forces have treasured for a long time. The Zhu family is the same, they actually sent out ninety percent of the black guards of the Huayi Sect to participate in such a war that showed disadvantages, aren't they afraid that all their strength will be buried here?" Han Ming frowned and asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time.
Huang Sha also frowned, thought for a moment and said, "The Zhu family doesn't want to put the black guards on the front line, it's not forced yet!"
"Oh, forced, with such great power, could it be the imperial court!" Han Ming's brows tightened.
"The young master is really smart, the imperial court is really crazy this time, forcing these martial arts forces to enter the war at any cost, and directly exterminate them if they have any slackness, so that all the forces dare not have any perfunctory. Huang Xu replied.
"No, these forces are not soft persimmons, their strength should not be underestimated, and the court is not afraid that they will rebel! If these forces are opposed, the court is afraid that they will be overthrown. Besides, these families don't have to invest all their strength in a little trickery!" Han Ming still didn't understand a little, so he asked again.
"As soon as the imperial list was issued, except for a few old big forces such as the Zhu family and the Chi family, they were not willing to take care of the orders of the imperial court. It wasn't until the golden armor army guarding the imperial city that the imperial court went to the front and slaughtered several forces along the way, that those forces understood that the imperial court was serious. However, there are still some forces who do not know whether they are alive or dead, and they actually gathered tens of thousands of people to attack the imperial city overnight, wanting to take advantage of the emptiness of the imperial city to overthrow the imperial court. Huang Xu said with a smile.
"Someone rebelled, why did those rebels die, and the news didn't even come out!" Han Ming was even more surprised, and even a little shocked.
"No one knows how the tens of thousands of rebels died, but it must have been the hands of the imperial court. The head of the family once said to himself that the water of the imperial court is very deep! No matter who rebels, the Zhu Chi family will not rebel, it is impossible for anyone to overthrow the imperial court, and the force behind the imperial court is not something that people in the martial arts can move. Huang Sha shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much news either.
Huang Xu told Han Ming about the battle situation on the front line and left, and he also had to explain the details of the garrison, as well as contact the black guards who stayed here to guide them.
Han Ming and Huang Sha were speechless for a long time after they finished speaking, and there was a rebellion in Wu State, and they were silently pacified.
He originally felt that this war was very strange, General Lin Yuqing led the Black Feather Army to fight the Jiayue Kingdom without any power to fight back, but the imperial court blindly ordered the defense, but now when the Wu army showed its inferiority, the imperial court strictly ordered General Lin Yuqing to recapture the two states within a year.
The army of the Jiayue State is even more weird, now the troops they have gathered on the front line can completely crush the Wu State, that is, they wave their troops directly into the Wu State, I am afraid that they will hit the capital, but they blindly defend the two states, and there is no tendency to take the initiative to attack at all, it seems that they are dragging time.
The armies of the two countries behaved too casually in this war, as if the victory in the armies was completely useless and did not play a decisive role in the war between the two countries.
Han Ming frowned, he really couldn't think of any explanation, and then he suddenly smiled, this is none of his business, why should he worry about it, he just needs to take care of himself.
Han Ming shook his head and returned to the carriage on his own, meditating quietly, only to be woken up by a different sound outside three hours later, and he lifted the curtain of the carriage with a frown.
At this time, a group of blackguards were gathered around a large fire, and one of the blackguards was carrying an eleven or twelve-year-old boy in his hand, and then threw the boy next to the fire with one hand.
"Daring thieves, who dare to come here to steal things, are really impatient. The blackguard smiled.
The young man's little face was dirty, and he had a pair of big watery eyes, but his eyes were full of fear now, and he looked at these black guards without blinking, his hands behind his back, and he retreated in panic, but there were still black guards behind him.
"What's wrong, what's going on, what kind of person is this kid, Commander Huang. Han Ming frowned and asked those black guards not far away.
A black guard couldn't help but be startled when he saw Han Ming poking his head out, and immediately a black guard stepped forward and said: "This kid sneaked into the vicinity of our black guard camp, I don't know what to do, he is a little flexible, he should have practiced the martial arts of the New Year, and his subordinates were afraid that he was a spy and caught him, and wanted to ask him." As for Commander Huang, he went out earlier and has not yet returned. ”
"It's funny, I was a little hungry, so I came down to take a look. Han Ming's eyesight was amazing, and he discovered the interesting place of this young man from a distance.
"Young master, slow down, I'll help you. The black guard helped Han Ming out of the carriage, and then slowly walked towards the fire.
After Han Ming arrived at the fire, he slowly sat down on a small stone, tore off a roasted pheasant, and began to eat it slowly.
And those black guards began to interrogate the young man, Han Ming was not easy to do anything rough here, they could only scare the child in a rough voice.
Each black guard's hands were stained with blood, and there was a faint evil aura on his body, which gave the young man invisible pressure, making his face full of fear.
However, although the young man was very frightened, he just didn't speak, but just retreated little by little, until he hid his face in his legs when he couldn't retreat, and didn't dare to look at these fierce black guards.
Han Ming couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise on his face when he saw this, could it be that this kid was a mute, otherwise why didn't he open his mouth no matter how he scared him. Han Ming thought about it and waved his hand at Heiwei, motioning for them to step aside and stop scaring the kid.
For some reason, Han Ming looked at the child in front of him and thought of himself when he left home, he was full at that time, and he was hungry and cold every day, if it weren't for Zhu Yiwen, he was afraid that he would have died in the mountains and turned into a pile of white bones.
Han Ming took another roasted pheasant from the fire and handed it to the young man in front of him, and said with a slight smile: "I haven't eaten for a long time, this is for you to eat!"
