Chapter 693

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the fifth lunar month in Jinghan's 14th year, around midnight, on the post road south of Zhuxian Town, horse-drawn carriages and crowds were running northward.

Running in front was a solid-looking warrior named Tian Donghan, and behind him there were old and young criminals named Qin Yuyuan, his wife and concubines who had already boarded the carriage. Ji Kun waved a whip in front of the carriage and drove a A 13-year-old son of the Qin family pulled into the car, and the rest were running back and forth, including six or seven young children of the Qin family, as well as warriors from Zhuji and the guards of the Qin family.

The two yamen servants who escorted Qin Yuyuan to the south were almost dragged behind.

Before and after the post road, except for a few scattered travelers, there are no other pedestrians.The sun shone down from the sky, and the surrounding fields were empty, which seemed a little strange in a vague way.

In the second half of last year, the Jurchens attacked and besieged Bianliang. From the north of Bianliang to the Yellow River Basin, almost all the residents were evacuated—if they refused to evacuate, they were basically killed.Although the area to the south of Bianliang is slightly better, the area extending tens of miles is still affected. In the clearing of the strong walls, people migrated, and the villages were burned. Later, the Jurchen cavalry also came here, and the post roads and river beds were destroyed a lot. .

After the Jurchens left, a lot of waste was left to be done, and a large number of business travelers came to the south, but not all post roads were repaired for a while.There are several roads to the south of Zhuxian Town, separated by a river, and the road to the west is not yet smooth.When going south, according to the route set by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the prisoner tried to take the road with few people as much as possible, so as to avoid friction with pedestrians and accidents. At this time, everyone took the post road to the west.However, in the afternoon, there was a report from Zhuji in a hurry, that the knights of the rivers and lakes who wanted to intercept and kill Mr. Qin had already gathered, and they were now outflanking this side, and the leader was probably Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Light .

Qin Yuyuan traveled southward, followed by Mrs. Qin, concubine Yunniang, Ji Kun, several young Qin family children, and seven Zhuji guards led by Tian Donghan.Of course there were also carriages to follow, but before they left the boundary of the capital, the two yamen guards were very strict, and they just removed the shackles for the old man. If they really want to make everyone's life better, they have to leave the boundary of the capital.It may be that he is nostalgic for this part of the capital, but the old man doesn't mind walking slowly - he is already at this age, leaving the circle of power, and going to Lingnan, I'm afraid there will be no other more things.

When the news came, everyone realized the embarrassment of this place. Tian Donghan and others immediately pushed the two yamen servants to the ground and asked them if they were accomplices.Naturally, it is impossible to conduct a strict interrogation at this time. The messenger had previously sent pigeons to the capital. At this time, he rode his horse quickly to find help. Tian Donghan and others helped the old man into the carriage, and then hurried back.Under the sun, everyone drew their knives out of their sheaths and wound their crossbows, alerting everyone in sight.

Not long after, a dilapidated small inn appeared in front of me. When I passed by, I remembered that there were two soldiers stationed inside.

Tian Donghan looked at the door, the bloody smell came from inside, and the sword light came out from the darkness.Tian Donghan slanted his saber, and there was a loud shout in the air: "Shooting a dog--" There were figures rushing up and down, but behind Tian Donghan, a fishing net flew out and caught the swordsman, followed by spears, The hook sickle and crossbow arrows flew out.The swordsman was highly skilled in martial arts, rushed into the crowd and turned around, the dust was flying, Jianfeng fought with several Zhuji guards one after another, then his left foot was hooked, his body tilted, his head was split open, bloody spill out.

On the front, a warrior was hit by a crossbow arrow in the head, and the other fought with Tian Donghan twice, was slashed in the chest by a knife, and was kicked again. His body hit the earth wall behind him, staggered a few times, and fell limp.

The rest of the assassins were frightened behind the wall and behind the house, shouting in their mouths: "You can't escape!"

Tian Donghan stood with his sword down, stared at it for a moment, and said, "Go—" he began to step back, and the rest of them also started to retreat.Someone behind the earth wall made a sudden move, threw a few hidden weapons and migratory locusts, and two crossbow arrows shot past. The person who threw the hidden weapons quickly retreated, and one of them was wiped on his arm, and said repeatedly: "Idea!" Trick your hands, everyone, be careful! The idea is to prick your hands..."

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and in the capital, events had begun to spread and ferment.

With the people rushing out of the main house of Ning Mansion, the emergency teams in various parts of the capital were also alarmed. People's out of town.Zhuji's other mansions inside and outside the capital also experienced changes, and the guards rushed south.

At the same time, the well-informed people in the green forest have learned about the situation and began to rush to the south, either to join in the grand event or to join in the fun.At this time, around Zhuxian Town, a lot of green forest people had gathered, some of them belonged to the Great Bright Sect, and some even belonged to some big families in Beijing, and they all started to move.In the middle, there are even several groups of teams that were never expected...

In the northwest of the capital, the unexpected situation really appeared at this time.

The camp where Wu Ruiying was temporarily stationed was settled next to a big village. With the crowds coming and going, the surrounding area has become lively, and there are also a few simple restaurants and tea shops around it.This camp is the most watched military garrison near the capital today.After meritorious deeds are rewarded, not to mention officials and titles, the gold and silver handed out alone are enough to make the officers and soldiers squander them for several years, businessmen live in pursuit of profit, and even brothels have been secretly opened, but the conditions are simple However, the women in it are not ugly.

In the afternoon, although it was not considered luxurious, Li Bingwen was occupying the best seat on the second floor of the cool and airy tea shop, sitting opposite his guests, drinking tea, and occasionally chatting a few homely things.The name of his current guest is Han Jing, and they have had a lot of contacts recently.

The Wurui camp after the Jurchens left now includes two forces. One side is the original Wu Dynasty soldiers with a population of more than 1, and the other side is the Lvliangshan Rebel Army with a population of nearly 800. ——General Li Bingwen is in the middle and moderates, but on the practical level, there are a lot of troubles.

First of all, the 1 people who accounted for the majority were a bit rebellious. Before Li Bingwen took over, Luo Shengzhou, the champion of martial arts, came over to take advantage of his prestige and beat him with fists and kicks. Walk away.Li Bingwen had better means than Luo Shengzhou, and he also had dozens of high-powered personal soldiers in charge of the formation, but in a month's time, he didn't have a deep grasp of the army.

Of course, this also has something to do with Zhou Zhe and Tong Guan's strategy. Zhou Zhe wanted the spirit of the army, and when he was on tour, the middle-level generals among the generals praised him a lot, and he wanted to take his heart for his own use.Tong Guan has led the army for many years, and he is more sophisticated than anyone else. The King of Guangyang knows the shortcomings of the army, and because of this, he is very concerned about the main reason why the Wu Ruiying can support the fighting power. This indirectly caused Li Bingwen to be unable to drastically change this An army - for the time being, he can only watch and pinch, but this is already Prince Tong's private army, and other things can be done slowly.

The Luliang Mountain Rebel Army is even more troublesome.

On the surface, the more than 800 people were under the control of Li Bingwen, but the actual controllers were Han Jing and the woman named Lu Hongti.Since this army is all cavalry, and there are more than a hundred heavily armored black cavalry, word of mouth in the capital has praised them so much that they are even called "Iron Buddha".As for that woman, Li Bingwen could not get online, only Han Jing—but Zhou Zhe gave him various titles when he was inspecting Wurui Camp. This is basically the same level as Li Bingwen.

Fortunately, Han Jing is not difficult to talk to, and Li Bingwen has been in a relationship with him for a long time, which is enough to confide in him and call him a brother.Although Han Jing was a military general and the leader who came out of Luliang Mountain, he was a bit of a gangster, but when he arrived in the capital, he became calmer and calmer. He didn't like to drink, but only liked to drink tea. Li Bingwen invited him out from time to time to prepare some Good tea treats.

After noon, while drinking tea, the two chatted for a long time about the military system and morale of the Wu Dynasty.From Li Bingwen's point of view, Han Jing was born in a mountain bandit, and every time he said deviant words, which were different from the real situation in Wu Dynasty, some ideas were shallow after all, but it didn't matter, he just listened, occasionally analyzed a few words, and Han Jing also nodded in agreement.At some point, a soldier galloped downstairs on horseback, dismounted at the door, and galloped up. It was a Luliang Mountain cavalryman.

The soldier rushed over with a hasty and angry expression, handed Han Jing a note, and stood beside him without speaking.

Han Jing read the note again, frowned, then raised his head slightly, with anger concentrated on his face.Li Bingwen said: "Brother Han, what's the matter?"

"Call all the brothers!" Han Jing said this to the soldier next to him, and the soldier said: "Yes." He had already rushed down.Li Bingwen was terrified, and stood up: "Brother Han, what about military affairs!?" Han Jing on the opposite side had already taken up his position, and slapped the table with a slap. He said in a rough voice, "General, I have a private matter in Luliang!"

"No." Li Bingwen hastily stopped, "You are already a soldier, how can you be selfish..."

"There is still fighting and fighting in the army. I am just a rebel army, why can't I have selfishness!"

"No, no, Brother Han, if you have any private affairs in the capital, you might as well say it out, brother will naturally have a way to deal with it for you, but who did you have a conflict with? If you don't say such things, don't treat Li as yourself People, do you think that Li can still turn his elbows out..."

Han Jing's eyes softened a little, and he cupped his hands again: "The general is kind, Han knows, but this matter does not require the entire army of Wu Ruiying to be dispatched." Then he slightly lowered his voice, and a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes, " Hmph, a personal grievance hadn't been resolved back then, and now that person dared to come to the capital, thinking that I would let him go!"

"Who is the enemy Brother Han mentioned..."

"There is a big Guangming sect around you, have you heard of the general?"

"Great Light Sect..." Li Bingwen is still recalling.

"Hmph, the leader of this sect is named Lin Zongwu. He used to have an old relationship with us as the head of the family. He used despicable means to hurt the head of the Luliang Mountain. He was wounded and escaped. General Li, I don't want to make things difficult for you, but this The boss can bear it, but I can't bear it, and none of the brothers below can bear it! If he dares to show up, I will kill him later! I'm sorry, this matter makes you difficult, and Han will come to plead guilty in the future!"

"Brother Han, why did you say that... Wait, wait, Brother Han, what Li meant was to seek revenge, why should all the brothers be mobilized, Brother Han——"

After he said that, his tone became anxious, and his face became stern.But it's useless to be stern, when Han Jing and he rushed back to the barracks not far away, [-] riders had already gathered on the school field, these men who came down from Luliang Mountain showed fierce faces, and slapped the saddle with their knives.Han Jing got on his horse: "All Qingqi—"

Around, a group of generals and soldiers from Wurui Camp also gathered and asked what happened. Some people charged forward with weapons. After the acquaintances briefly stated the purpose of seeking revenge, everyone shouted: "Destroy him—" "Let's go together——"

Li Bingwen shouted: "You go back!" No one paid any attention to him.

Han Jing only comforted the generals of Wu Ruiying, and then the gate of the camp was pushed open, and the horse rushed out like a dragon, running faster and faster, the ground shook and began to roar.The iron hoofs of these nearly two thousand cavalry were startled up and down, sweeping around Bianliang City and heading south—Li Bingwen was dumbfounded, speechless. Impossible, after the Jurchens left, the charge of this cavalry outside Bianliang City was basically invincible for the time being.

Afterwards, he could only suppress the other people in the Wu Rui camp who were about to make a move, and quickly asked someone to report the situation to the city, and quickly notified Tong Guan...

In the south of Bianliang City, Ning Yi and others are running fast, and there are also Zhuji's guards running nearby. They received the message and took the initiative to go in different directions.The people in the green forest are riding horses, and they are also running, their cheeks are flushed with excitement, and sometimes they meet their companions, and they are still discussing whether they want to join in the big event and eliminate the traitors.

Several chief arresters of the criminal department led their arresters out of the city from different directions. These arresters were not faster than the arresters, and most of them were highly skilled in martial arts. Fast minions are not the same.Several head catchers were running on horseback while still issuing orders.

"When you meet this group of people, first persuade me to quit. If they really dare to fight at will, then they will be taken by me. The capital is an important place, and such unlawful things should not happen. Wait—especially pay close attention to Zhu Ji— —Let them know who is in charge of the capital!"

More than half of the application time, the fight has already begun.

On the road to the southwest of Zhuxian Town and on the fields, there were occasional screams. It was the performance of nearby pedestrians when they found dead bodies. Spots of blood occasionally appeared and spread in the fields.At the edge of a field, a group of people were running fast. The leader was a tall monk who was a monk. He stopped and looked at the footprints and weeds around him. There were bloodstains in the weeds.

The martial artist from the side and rear followed up and said: "Boss Tunyun, there seems to be marks on both sides, where to go?"

A smile appeared on the corner of the monk's mouth named Tunyun: "Huh, if you want to be famous, come with me—" After finishing speaking, he was like the wind, and flew towards the side, and the rest of them quickly followed.

On a hill more than two miles away from the post road, the bloody smell spread out. The carriage had already stopped in front of a dangerous cliff above the hill. Tian Donghan and others stood guard at the rear, relying on the terrain to resist the pursuit. The assassins who came came after several waves.The green forest people below gathered a little more, but after rushing a few times, they became more cautious.They are waiting for more to arrive.

"Hold it!" Hiding behind a big rock, Tian Donghan coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his eyes were firm, "When the boss comes over, they will all die!"

The people nearby just nodded slightly, they all had the same eyes after they had been on the battlefield!

However, the sun was slanting to the west, and when the sun showed the first sign of the setting sun on the horizon, Ning Yi and others were running down the post road at a fast speed, approaching the small post station where they had the first confrontation.

Below the hill, a figure wearing a yellow monk's robe appeared in Tian Donghan's field of vision. The figure was tall, fat but strong, and every part of his body seemed to have accumulated strength, just like the appearance of Maitreya.

"Amitabha."

In the sunlight, the Buddha's name came out like a sea tide.

Whether far or near, hundreds of people gathered in this wilderness.The sound of iron hooves came faintly...

　The original title of the chapter was "Miao Miao Chen Xing Yuan...", which didn't seem to rhyme well, so I changed Chen Xing to Xing Chen.
