Chapter 280 The Happiness of People with Goals (add more for 'justin_yu')
The breath of spring is pleasant, and birds and beasts are everywhere, which makes people feel full of vitality.

The speed of the long convoy was neither fast nor slow, and there were spare carts, cattle and horses behind, which was so extravagant that people were speechless.

Zhang Jing talked with Nian Ziyue for a while in the carriage, and finally couldn't bear to get out of the carriage, and went to find Shen Shen again.

"The people you're looking for are reliable?"

Shen Zhong looked quite leisurely, "They have prepared two or three hundred rides."

Zhang Jing gritted her teeth and said: "There are two hundred riders accompanying the mission, you are crazy!"

"Firstly, those rebels came by small trails. It was not easy to supply food and grass all the way, and they had to beware of being discovered by the Tang army, so the number should not be too large. Second, the Tang army in Chang'an seemed mighty, but I tried it, they were just watchdogs! "

"Did you try? When?"

He smiled heavily, and said contemptuously: "The night before departure, five people from the Jinwu Guard died."

"How many people did you bring?"

"I am alone, and I can kill with ease. It's like taking a walk in the garden."

"The guards of the Tang Dynasty, are they so weak?"

"It's already been like this." He said with heavy sarcasm: "Li Mi only knows how to hide in the palace and hang out with his daughter-in-law, but he has great means and can check and balance the court. But what a country cares about is not only the check and balance of the court, but also the army! "

"The military system of the Tang Mansion collapsed, and the only ones who can fight are the frontier troops. Those rebels are also capable of fighting against the frontier troops. Two or three hundred versus two hundred, they can be easily defeated."

Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "It's best to save Yang Xuan's life."

"What are you worried about? Datang is furious? But the ones attacking them are the rebels, so what have we got to do?"

"I'm not worried about that."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I worry about the princess."

"What do you mean?"

"The deputy envoy Qin Jian went to test the princess many times on this journey, but the princess has been refusing to see him. But Yang Xuan just showed his face, but the princess condescended and got off the carriage to talk to him. If he died, the princess might sad."

"A woman's sadness can last for a while, and when she has a son-in-law, other men will naturally forget about it."

"I'm afraid you have misunderstood women."

heavy:"……"

"what!"

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from the front.

Chong Chong flew on the horse and shouted: "Protect the princess!"

But the carriage had already passed the corner slowly.

The jade hand opened the curtain of the car, and those bright eyes full of spiritual energy looked over curiously.

There are more than ten men hanging on the big tree beside the road.

The men lowered their heads, unable to see their faces clearly.

The spring breeze blew, and the corpse swayed gently with the wind, just like the puppet Nian Ziyue saw in the palace when he was a child.

Bright eyes turned dully, the corpses piled up on the side of the road ahead like a hill.

The curtain slid down, and there was the sound of a body leaning heavily on the carriage.

Zhang Jing covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes widened, and said in disbelief: "They're all dead!"

She looked heavy, "Is this the rebel army you are talking about? A rebel army that is more elite than Chang'an's guards?"

With a serious expression on his face, "Those two hundred riders must be unusual, I underestimated them."

"You made a big mistake!" Zhang Jing said in a low voice: "If you miss this time, it will be difficult to strike again. When the mission arrives in the middle school, it will become a tool for those two factions to fight. Something big will happen!"

Taking a deep breath, "You take people to protect the princess and walk slowly."

Zhang Jing asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Shen said: "The rebel army seems to be cooperating with us, but both sides are afraid of each other. They must have support behind them, and they must be killed."

"Why?"

"Let the leaders of the rebel army not know the details, otherwise they will open their mouths and ask for money and food. There is no shortage of money and food in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but their greed cannot be indulged, otherwise it will be a bottomless pit."

"How many people are you taking?"

"ten people!"

"careful!"

Shen Zhong led his people behind the convoy, and after the convoy had gone, he rode his horse towards the mountain road.

A corpse was hung from a tree, and the horse rode past heavily, swinging a long knife.

The body fell to the ground, the head was still hanging on the noose, and he opened his mouth, watching the heavy rush into the mountain path with a pair of dull eyes.

Da da da!
The horseshoes beat the mountain road with lightning speed.

After entering the mountain road for only five miles, I saw dozens of riders resting in the mountain nest.

"Who?" Someone looked up.

Lifting the knife heavily: "Kill them all!"

He rushed up first.

His subordinates followed him and took out their bows and arrows.

"Fire arrows!"

Arrows fly.

Amidst the howling, the rebels wanted to flee.

The 11 people's figures flickered, chasing up and killing them one by one.

When the last of the rebels fell, Heavy drew back the knife.

"Fix the knife!"

Ten people stepped forward.

The long knife kept chopping at the vital points of the corpse.

A corpse bounced up suddenly, and there was a person hidden underneath.

"kill!"

Two long knives blocked the escape space of this person.

The rebels fell, "You are... from the Southern Zhou Dynasty!"

The long knife cut his throat, his trachea buzzed, blood poured in, and then was rushed out by the gas.

……

Yang Xuan led the mission and approached a small town according to the itinerary.

"There are not so many houses." The local official looked apologetic.

"Tents are also fine." After arriving here, I want to live in the city every day, have a spacious house, have delicious food, and be able to take a bath... These are all impossible.

The soldiers looked for a place to camp, and Yang Xuan took a few officials to get a small house.

After showering, Qin Jian waited outside.

"This raid, the old man has been thinking for a long time, how the rebels got our news, this old man can't figure it out."

"I can't figure it out either." But Yang Xuan knew that the goal of his group was too big. "The rebel army is not in a good situation recently, and they are desperately trying to restore their momentum. They dare not fight with the southern Xinjiang army. If they can destroy the mission, the rebel army will be defeated." The morale will be boosted up and down."

"That's right." Cheng Ran came out, "Is Envoy Yang taking a bath? Where is the water?"

"Well water." Yang Xuan wiped his hair with a cloth towel.

Qin Jian and Cheng Ran looked at him enviously.

Young people are strong firepower.

Cheng Ran said: "However, we still have to be afraid of the wind, let's go into the room and talk."

The three entered the room.

"Earlier, Yang Zheng didn't let anyone notify the follow-up Southern Zhou team, it was because of doubt..." Cheng Ran is worthy of being an old ghost, but after thinking about it, he figured out some of Yang Xuan's mentality.

"The rebels are backed by Nan Zhou. Regardless of whether they know about it or participate in it, leaving those corpses is a warning." Yang Xuan wiped his hair. The old thief came over to help, and he shook his head.

When the old thief went out, Wang Laoer muttered, "Your Majesty likes women to rub their hair."

The local officials sent a small official named Chang Yu to receive him.Naturally, one person is not enough, Chang Yu brought more than ten men and women to help.

Most of the women went into the kitchen to work and cook for the mission.The men helped, either by sweeping or cleaning the room.

"Auntie!"

A six or seven-year-old girl was walking towards the kitchen leaning backwards with a dustpan in her hand.The dustpan was full of dried meat, and she walked up the steps with difficulty. A woman came out, took the dustpan, and wiped her mouth with her hand. .”

"it is good."

The woman went in and poured the dried meat into the pot. When she came out, the girl took the dustpan and walked a few steps to see if there was no one around. Then she chewed hard on the meat her mother had just stuffed in her mouth.

It's lamb!
so delicious!
The girl was reluctant to swallow it, and chewed slowly while walking.

A man turned in, and with a flick of his hand, the girl stumbled and fell to the side, hitting her head on the water tank.She opened her mouth to cry, but then covered her mouth again.

"Woooooo!"

The old thief came out just in time to see it, and scolded: "Why did you push her?"

The person from Nian Ziyue's side came, he looked at the girl and said, "She's blocking my way, so I just pawed her."

Wang Er Er came out, and upon seeing this, he said, "She's a girl, you have the guts to push her? You bitch!"

This dog thing aroused the anger of the man, "You bitch, what are you talking about?"

Immediately, more than ten people from the Southern Zhou Dynasty poured in, including Zhang Jing, followed by Nian Ziyue.

"Who are you scolding?" The old thief stepped forward.

When the man saw the princess coming, he said, "Why are you scolding him?"

The old thief raised his hand and gave him a slap.

Snapped!
The man covered his face, opened his mouth and spit out a few big teeth, and said vaguely: "Princess..."

Zhang Jing stepped forward, "Why did you do it?"

"The old man wants to do something, why?" the old thief insisted.

Zhang Jing sneered, "Is this the Tang's way of hospitality?"

They were frightened half to death by a row of hanged rebels, and now they were beaten by an old thief, and their anger couldn't be suppressed immediately.

"What's going on?"

The three of Yang Xuan came out.

Zhang Jing said: "This person beat the princess's attendants with his own hands."

Yang Xuan took a look, "It's just a scratch."

Half of the mouth full of big teeth fell out, is this an abrasion?Zhang Jing's cheeks trembled slightly... She swore she never knew that Yang Xuan was so shameless.

The old thief said: "Your Majesty, this man pushed that girl down."

The girl had already stood up, and looked at Yang Xuan in a somewhat helpless and terrified manner.

Those eyes hurt Yang Xuan, he asked: "Did this person bump into you?"

The girl nodded and shook her head.

Zhang Jing sneered, "You can lie at a young age!"

"Shut up!" Yang Xuan glanced at her, then lowered his voice, "But dare not say it?"

The girl nodded.

"Why?"

The girl hesitated a little.

"I'll make the decision for you." Yang Xuan smiled.

"Aniang...Aniang said, don't make trouble, otherwise you will... have nothing to do."

"She's at……"

The man was still shouting, Yang Xuan straightened his waist suddenly, and slapped him with his backhand.

Bah!
The man was sent flying by the slap, rolled his eyes when he fell to the ground.

Yang Xuan knelt down and asked with a smile, "Why do you have nothing to do?"

The girl stared blankly at him, frightened, and said honestly: "My mother brought me to work, she can get five catties of grain, and she can also bring me to eat."

"Food?" Yang Xuan picked up the dustpan with a smile, saw Chang Yu coming, and said, "I think this girl should also be paid."

Chang Yu bowed his head, "Yes, the villain will give her five catties of food later."

The girl's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Yang Xuan rubbed the top of her head, "Second."

"Lang Jun."

"Bring some jerky."

Wang Laoer was not stingy this time, and packed a large bag of dried meat.

"Take it." Yang Xuan handed it to the girl, and seeing a woman on the left smiling at him anxiously, he said, "This child is not bad."

He got up and went out.

Zhang Jing was about to follow with a cold face, but Nian Ziyue, who was leading him, said softly, "I'll go."

"Princess!" Zhang Jing wanted to stop her, but Nian Ziyue had already left.

Outside is the only street in the small town.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and the long street was a little empty, only a few pedestrians in a hurry.

Yang Xuan and Nian Ziyue walked side by side on the long street, with some distance between them.

Behind him, Zhang Jing led several guards, the old thief and Wang Laoer were also there, and the two sides walked side by side.

Zhang Jing brought people closer, and heard the old thief behind him say proudly: "Hey! I heard something that I shouldn't hear in a while, so be careful to be silenced."

Zhang Jing stopped, wishing she could kick the old thief to death.

"I've never seen you so irritable." Nian Ziyue said calmly: "Even in that alley back then, you only dealt with that villain, and you weren't so furious. Why?"

"That's just a girl."

"I know, but I just got pushed."

"That's Datang's daughter."

Nian Ziyue was startled, "What do you mean?"

Yang Xuan said: "Girls of the Tang Dynasty should not be bullied by outsiders."

Nian Ziyue didn't expect him to think this way, "But as far as I know, people are being bullied everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, can you manage it?"

Yang Xuan said: "I don't care what I see."

"What can't be seen?"

"I will work hard if I can't see it."

"effort?"

"Yes, try to make this Tang Dynasty better, so that fewer and fewer people will be bullied."

Nian Ziyue turned his head and glanced at him, "Compared to before, you seem to be a little more aggressive."

"Have it?"

"Have."

"Princess is going back this trip, she should come back, right?"

"I don't know." Nian Ziyue's eyes were hazy, thinking of the struggle between the two factions in the middle school, it would be messy!

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Perhaps there will be no chance to meet again after this trip, the princess should take care."

Nian Ziyue raised her eyes, under the setting sun, her eyes seemed to be shining, which made Yang Xuan stunned.

"How long can the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty be at peace?"

This question made Yang Xuan a little bit troubled, "It depends on the emperors of the two countries. However, recently, the Southern Zhou frequently took actions, instigating the southern border rebels behind their backs, which has already angered Datang."

Nian Ziyue shook his head, "Nothing."

Her eyes were sincere when she spoke.

"Whether there is, in fact, both sides are clear."

At this time, Zhang Jing finally couldn't help coming up, and when she heard this, she said: "Back then, there were riots in Bianjing, and someone set fire in the city, and then a thief was captured, a person from Datang."

Nian Ziyue looked at Yang Xuan, wondering if Datang had done such things in the Southern Zhou Dynasty?

Yang Xuan said solemnly: "Of course this matter was not done by Datang."

"That's from Datang, verified." Zhang Jing stared at him.

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "There are still people in the Tang Dynasty who are horse thieves. Last time, I beheaded hundreds of them at once."

Shameless!
Zhang Jing felt that only people like Shen Shen could deal with Yang Xuan.

While speaking, heaviness came.

"Princess, it's time to eat."

Standing heavy with hands tied.

Nian Ziyue panicked all the way, and finally got out to let the wind go, but she couldn't find peace.

Everyone went back slowly.

After entering the house, I saw the girl carrying a dustpan, her face flushed, going to the kitchen step by step.

After seeing Yang Xuan, the girl's eyes lit up and she smiled happily.

Suddenly, two teeth were missing in the mouth.

Yang Xuan also returned a gentle smile.

Nian Ziyue suddenly asked, "What do you want in this life?"

This is a question she has been thinking about, and has never been able to find an answer.

Yang Xuan pointed to the girl from the past, "I want to see more smiles like this in my life."

Nian Ziyue stopped and looked at him, "So, the two countries should build peace together."

This is a farewell word, Yang Xuan subconsciously imitated the diplomat in the scroll and reached out.

Seeing him reaching out his hand, Nian Ziyue somehow did the same.

The two shook hands.

Then it was released like lightning.

Nian Ziyue blushed and walked away quickly.

A group of people around were dumbfounded.

Zhang Ruo quickly stepped in.

"Yang Zhengshi, there are rebels in front of us."

"How's the battle going?"

"Our army... was defeated."
