Chapter 1209: Camp and Recuperate
"Liang Qing, the captain of the Eastern Military Academy, came to the rescue, is the prince okay?" After the captain and soldier who came to the front led the team to meet the peace, he immediately galloped off his horse and hurriedly ran to the side of King Chatai and asked.
"This king is fine, thank you for coming...... cough cough ...... "King Chatai was injured, and he didn't forget to respond with condolences.
"Are you...... Liang Qing?" Sun Yun looked at Liang Qing's face, and immediately became familiar with each other, "I remember, you are the one who stopped me when we came back from the dart game that day...... Captain of the East Gate Garrison?"
It turned out that this person was Liang Qing, the captain of the garrison at the gate of Dongcheng, before Sun Yun and others successfully returned to Dadu with the help of Qingmo Villa, in front of the city gate, Liang Qing also had some "unpleasantness" with Sun Yun and others. However, it was Liang Qing's unruly and upright personality that aroused Sun Yun's interest, but he didn't want to meet it here.
"It turns out that you are the young master of the Dart Bureau, the son of the King of Chatai......" Liang Qing did not appear too flattering in front of Sun Yun, and responded bluntly, "I didn't expect to meet here again today......
"Aren't you the captain stationed in Dongcheng, why did you come here in Xicheng?" Sun Yun asked in a tight voice.
"It's not the last time I confronted your noble son in front ......of the city tower," Liang Qing continued, "General Zhaolietai saw that Gongzi was relying on him, and specially promoted my military position, and asked me to lead the troops myself and go to Xicheng here to help the army suppress the rioters...... Actually, he just wants to use this matter to 'curry' favor with you Chatai family by snobbery......"
"Let's not talk about this for now......" Thinking that there was still something important at the moment, Sun Yun asked urgently, "Brother Liang, do you know where the nearest garrison of our army is near here? My father Wang was in critical condition after being hit by an arrow and urgently needs to be recuperated and treated——"
"It's a coincidence, my big camp is nearby, now let's escort the prince back to our army's camp first——!"
"Yes——" all the soldiers replied in unison, which shows that Liang Qing, as a captain and military leader, has strict discipline in disciplining the troops.
Sun Yun was also relieved to see it, he didn't see the wrong person, and personally escorted his father and Wang An to the horse, and then thanked Liang Qing with a sigh of gratitude: "Thank you Brother Liang for leading the team to rescue my father in time, and when the matter of returning to the camp is dealt with, I will thank you again——"
"It's nothing, the prince is the commander of the army, and he was injured on the front line ......of the war, everyone will be worried," Liang Qing said uprightly, "Childe, don't worry too much, although our army's camp is simple, but it is indispensable to save the wounds, I will find the best military doctor in a while to draw arrows for the prince to heal his wounds——"
"Thank you......" Seeing that things had finally turned around, Sun Yun bowed his head and thanked him, and then led the remaining cavalry battalion soldiers and horses of the king of Chatai, and returned to the nearby camp with Liang Qing......
In the evening, the "Ming Fujiao" camp ......
In the more than a month since the "Ming Fujiao" attacked most of the capital, they set up countless strongholds all over Xicheng, and there were tens of thousands of followers to compete with the imperial forbidden army. After learning the news, the sect leader He Xunyi sent his cronies to ambush in the area of "Narrow Pass", wanting to "capture the king" strategy, and decisively win or lose.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, who wants Sun Yun to receive the edict of "false holy decree", just rushed to the "narrow pass" pass, saved the king of Chatai at the last moment, and also lost hundreds of his own soldiers and horses.
And the leader of the sect who was released back by Sun Yun told He Xunyi everything that happened in the "Narrow Pass" today......
"You mean, that Cha Taiyun has appeared again, right......" He Xunyi sat in front of the main conference hall, and asked with a cold expression when he heard his subordinates report on the situation.
"Yes...... Yes...... "The leader of the cultists was wounded, and he fell to his knees trembling," he added...... He came this time to ...... with you, the Sect Master. It's a ......."
Sun Yun didn't say that, but because of his anger, the leader of the sect didn't dare to tell the truth as he was.
"Unexpectedly, Linggu Town said goodbye, and this time I met him again......" He Xunyi put the armrest of the chair and said coldly, "A few months ago in Linggu Town, I couldn't kill him with my own hands and let him escape, but I didn't expect him to come back this time, and he took the initiative to provoke us in turn......"
"It's no wonder, after all, the person who was ambushed was his father, King Chatai......" The cronies stood beside He Xunyi and said lightly, "Today we set a trap and slandered his father at the 'Narrow Ziguan' and almost took his life, Chataiyun will definitely hold a grudge and vow to seek revenge on us!"
"Hmph, he's coming when he wants, and I can't ask for it...... Last time, there was no winner in Linggu Town, and this time the sect leader wants to defeat him in a dignified manner-" He Xunyi first preached, as if he remembered some doubts, and couldn't help but change his tone, "But then again, I heard from my subordinates before that he secretly heard the news that the King of Chatai would move his troops to the 'Narrow Pass' today, so we were able to ambush the 'prey' today, although we didn't succeed, but it also severely damaged the morale of the enemy...... But I never figured out how my men found out about it, and who told him about it?......"
"This ...... I asked just now, and he said that there was a news from outside the world, and he heard it somewhere, saying that the king of Chatai would lead his troops through the 'narrow pass' today, but he didn't know who it was...... "The cronies continued, "I was thinking, there will always be someone behind the scenes who knows the confidential information of the imperial court, and for what purpose, 'deliberately' leaked it out......"
"What do you mean is that someone deliberately 'let out' the news and leaked the whereabouts of King Chatai, and this news is still true, we did ambush the ......" He Xunyi couldn't help muttering, "So who is this person, where did he get the news, and for what purpose?"
"Those who can know the whereabouts of Mengyuan's troops, except for their own people in the imperial court, there should be no one else......," the cronies mentioned on the side.
"You mean, someone in the court betrayed the King of Chatai?" He Xunyi asked tentatively, as if sensing something obscure.
"This, it's not very clear below...... cronies bowed their heads and said in a deep voice, "But in general, we don't have any losses, and we almost succeeded in 'capturing the king', even if there is really a 'mastermind' behind the scenes, at least it's not a bad thing for us, and the sect leader doesn't need to worry too much......
"Anyway, it's better to keep an eye on it, I always feel that things are probably not that simple......" He Xunyi analyzed himself for a while, and then said calmly, "But no matter what, Chataiyun's appearance is unexpected, if he is stationed with Chatai King in the future to fight against us and others, he is our biggest enemy!"
"Cha Tai Yun, is it, one of the Four Saints of Martial Arts, a disciple of Lu Huan's predecessors......" The cronies muttered in secret words.
"Cha Tai Yun's martial arts are strong and tricky, if he merges with his father's army, we will naturally not be able to deal with it......" He Xunyi continued, "In terms of the situation, I can fight a draw with him alone, but in terms of the quality of the army, we are far inferior to the Mengyuan court...... Find a way to fight quickly, before the reinforcements from outside the border rush back to Dadu, and come up with a strategy to deal with Chataiyun - as long as we succeed in targeting him, the situation will naturally move closer to us......"
"Don't worry, this Sect Master, the military strategy against Chataiyun and the enemy will be left to the subordinates—" The cronies asked for orders on the side.
He Xunyi nodded, looking at the fading afterglow outside the window, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Cha Taiyun, the contest between you and me will start now......
Like Sun Yun, He Xunyi's heart is full of determination to compete with each other......
On the other side, Liang Qing's troops camped......
After being escorted back to the camp, under the care of the military doctor, the king of Chatai successfully treated the wound of the arrow and finally escaped the danger of his life. Because he was seriously ill and dying before the expedition, the king of Chatai was extremely weak at this time and had to recuperate quietly for several days.
In this process, Sun Yun has been taking care of him, until he made sure that his father was safe and sound, and he fell asleep for the time being, he took the time to walk out of the camp tent and come out to breathe before nightfall......
"How is the prince's health?" Outside the tent, Liang Qing had also been worried about the safety of King Chatai, and when he saw Sun Yun coming out with a tired face, he asked worriedly.
"The military doctor said that there is no danger to his life, and now he has just rested and slept......" Sun Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and after making sure that his father was safe, he smiled at Liang Qing again, "Anyway, thank you this time, I owe you a personal ......."
"Look at what you said, Gongzi, isn't it our duty to protect the prince?" Liang Qing also replied with laughter.
"Don't call me 'Childe', it sounds weird......" Sun Yun smiled slightly, although he was wearing armor, but after being nervous, he finally showed his usual relaxed expression and said, "Just call me 'Brother Sun Yun', and talk to my peers, I like people to call me that......"
"But aren't you surnamed 'Chatai', why do you call you......" Liang Qing didn't know Sun Yun's life experience, and asked in a stunned voice.
"Because my father's surname is Sun, I grew up with my father-in-law in the dart chief......" Sun Yun smiled slowly, "It wasn't until half a year ago, in the matter of the 'Blood Palace', that I personally abolished my brother, and my father came forward to recognize him, and I didn't know my own life experience......"
Every time he mentions this matter, Sun Yun will feel inexplicable pain, and since he met Qi Xueyin, love and hate have been entangled endlessly, and he will have another layer of guilt and sadness in his heart.
"So although you are a royal nobleman, you have the blood of ordinary people in your body......" Liang Qing suddenly showed a relieved expression and said lightly, "You are different from the other brothers in your family, I mean ...... really"
"What's wrong?" Sun Yun couldn't help but ask when he heard Liang Qing say this.
"Brother Sun Yun, you don't know, before I became the captain of the Dongcheng garrison, I was the chief of the guard in your Chatai Royal Mansion for a few years......," Liang Qing recalled and said, "I have seen the behavior of your brother Chatai Dordun and your younger brother Chatai Kortai, your brother is cold-blooded and cruel by nature, since he suppressed the riots and gained power for meritorious service, he often used his power to oppress the people and even officials below, making most of the imperial city complain...... What's more, he even killed innocents indiscriminately, and for a time the whole city was panicked......"
"I know, these things, I have seen too many of these things when I came to the young master of the dart game......" Sun Yun muttered coldly, remembering the days when he and Chatai Dordun were "enemies of each other", too many innocent people died at the hands of their brothers-He Zibu brothers, the five heroes of the Northern Plains...... Sun Yun once swore that he would never forgive him for what he had done in his life, even if he was now a brother.
"But even so, I think that although Chatai Dordun is ruthless, at least he cares about the country, and I can still look up to him in this regard......" Liang Qing continued, "But your younger brother Chatai Kortai is a different matter entirely...... When I was serving in the palace, he was still young, but he often did one thing on the surface and one thing behind his back - he 'fiddled' in front of the king of Chatai and his officials on weekdays, but in private he had a chaotic style of life, not only indulged in alcohol, but also made bad friends, and even 'stabbed a knife' in the back when his brother Chatai Dordun was in power...... I don't know how he is now, but he was so unbearable at that time, let alone ...... now."
"Now he is not much better......" Sun Yun was even more angry at the mention of his younger brother Chatai Kortai, gritting his teeth and secretly hating, "This time he is even more blatant, and even wants to kill me and my brother......"
Especially thinking of the Chatai Dordun mentioned that Kortai and the people of the "Canghuan Sect" were in collusion, Sun Yun's heart suddenly felt like a fire. But because of the scandal at home, in front of Liang Qing, Sun Yun was reluctant to bring it up.
"But Brother Sun Yun, you are indeed different from what I thought......" Liang Qing put the topic back on Sun Yun and smiled slightly, "I thought you were the son of the Chatai family, and you would be as unsightly as your brother and brother, but I don't want Brother Sun Yun to be righteous and proud, and there is no meaning of power at all, brother, I am really impressed!"
"After all, I was not only born in the world, but also born in the rivers and lakes, just like Brother Liang said 'righteousness and pride', brother I dare not be a ......" Sun Yun first laughed, and then seemed to think of something, and a deep memory briefly appeared in his mind, and his left hand unconsciously touched the half of the "dragon pattern jade pendant" on his waist, and then said lightly, "Speaking of being born in the rivers and lakes, I first met him in the suburbs of Bianliang and worshiped brothers, so I will have the 'chivalrous ......heart' that I have never changed from beginning to end."
Saying that, Sun Yun put the jade pendant in his hand and stared at it, his eyes were slightly deep, as if he missed his old man - that person was none other than his first brother in this life, Tang Zhan, a descendant of the Tang family.
It's a pity that the brothers with the deepest memories get along with each other for the shortest time, since leaving Bianliang to go north to the capital, the days of missing the old brothers are getting less and less, especially because of his life experience, knowing that his father is Tang Zhan's exterminating enemy, the grievances and entanglements are erased, and Sun Yun is about to forget Tang Zhan.
"This jade pendant is a token of you and your sworn brother......" Liang Qing looked at the jade pendant in Sun Yun's hand and couldn't help but ask lightly......
