Qingchuan History

Chapter 724
Until the snow-white Zhaoye Jade Lion hit two arrows in a row under the second wave of ambushes, Gu Xinglang switched to Hu Leibu and Shen Ji.

"At this time, I know that armor is very important, it can block most of the arrows." Gu Xinglang actually wore soft armor, and he wore it even after he was born, so last night, although the sword was sharp, it only pierced the skin.He knew that swords and bows are useless, and that serious illnesses are of little use, so blocking half an inch is still a block.

Hu Lei is taller than Ben Xiao and other famous horses, and it is more than enough for two men to ride together. "My Daqi generals and soldiers are all the emperor's armor, and so is Shen Ji."

"After listening to my conversation with Ji Huan, you still think so?"

Under such circumstances, only Gu Xinglang can talk about important matters like a smooth talk. "Yes. The minister agrees with the emperor's words. He can truly create Haiyan Heqing for the well-being of the people. No matter one person or a group of people, they are all worthy of loyalty and protection. I believe in the emperor. That's the one."

"It's better than losing the power of the monarch, and letting famous ministers like Ji Xiang and Shangguan Xiangguo rule the world together?"

"The more I listen to political issues, the more I find that many truths are actually contradictory."

"indeed."

It was half past Yin time, when the long night was darkest, Gu Xinglang counted the distance traveled, confirmed the route with Shen Ji, and determined that the Qianlong Road was fifty or sixty miles away.

It was a long and narrow road, with steep and smooth cliffs on both sides, it was not suitable for shooting from the ground, but more suitable for close combat.

But before reaching Qianlong Dao, he encountered the third wave.

Having entered the mountain path, the shooting range is shorter than before, and the target of a horse is more obvious. Even in the dark night, the aim is much larger.In the dark, dense arrows are better than rainstorms, Gu Xinglang rode the horse at full speed, only felt that Shen Ji kept changing his sitting position while holding the weapon and listening to the sound, almost fell several times.

Use your hands and feet and your body as a shield.He used this as an excuse to cut off his love with Chunfeng, and he has always done it.

After rushing out of the Arrow Forest again, the noise of the storm stopped, the serious illness subsided, and the whole person became noticeably shorter.

Gu Xinglang didn't slow down, and asked in the strong wind, "Are you injured?"

"Fortunately."

Its voice is clearly different.

"How many arrows?"

Shen Ji answered after a long while: "Three branches. They are all in unimportant positions." He must have taken a breath, and then said: "I thought it would be too risky to continue going forward. —Your Majesty has only one person to protect you, in case something happens to you—”

"Hiding is not the answer. At this time there is no way to send messages. It is difficult to mobilize the local army. They hide and wait for people to hunt. It is really a dead end." Moreover, he does not want to send troops to scare the snakes and cause domestic chaos, because the letter is still hidden behind the scenes. Wang Gu Xingzhi, the second is Murong Xun, who is likely to be on the Weinan border, "This is a temporary setup. So it is just some arrows that are not well arranged. Going forward, there are only some skilled assassins left, so there should be no real attack." Master."

It was evening at the earliest when news of the Yinhuangtai accident and Jun Qi's disappearance came back to Jidu.Even if the chess player is King Xin, who guessed that he was going to sneak back to Jidu, he immediately arranged and mobilized all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals he could mobilize to set up an ambush along the way—several hours, too hasty, it would not be an ingenious plan—hence the name The last try, so called gambling.

Who is helping him pass the order is more interesting.

"It's better to follow the official path." Shen Ji's breath was heavy, perhaps due to his injury.

"Through the town, the streets and alleys are brightly illuminated. If there is an ambush, you and I will be dead at this moment. Along the way, these people are not steady enough to shoot arrows, because they are not clear enough, and they are not sure if it is me. We’re not the only ones traveling through the night, aren’t we?” The conversation was always quiet, but when the wind suddenly entered, Gu Xinglang’s voice became quieter, “The Qianlong Road lies ahead.”

The thread was buried under an old kapok tree, and the thread ends intertwined with the roots.

Buried for nearly three years, I don't know if it is still useful.Earlier, when Gu Xinglang mentioned Qianlong Dao's serious illness, he knew what he meant. There are currently seven places in Qi State where gunpowder is hidden.

It was almost dawn, and the light began to appear. The narrow mountain wall is suitable for killing people on narrow roads, because it can be seen, and one stab is accurate.

Sure enough, there was no rain of arrows anymore, those men in black stabbed diagonally and slashed directly at them with swords.

Before this moment, Gu Xinglang had already seen the old kapok tree, and the small piece of fire left in his hand was ignited by the north wind.He slowed down calmly, and when he was close to the tree trunk, he suddenly leaned to the left and fell down with his right leg hooked on the horse's back, while his left hand grabbed a bunch of exposed roots and started to ignite the fire.

The swords that surged from the slanting stabs paused a few times when they saw this scene.

It also gave Shen Ji a chance to shoot the arrow.The bow is hung on the shoulders, five in one shot, and the three of them are suspended in an instant.Naturally not enough, the rest of the evading troops surrounded and killed, the fastest one reached Gu Xinglang's face, and was blocked by Shen Ji's horizontal knife in front of him—sharp blades meeting, lightning and flint, the real sound like lightning resounded at this time .

Hee hee hee hee hee, like cooking oil over fire.

The scene of starting the fire matched it, causing the rushing crowd to hesitate for a second. Gu Xinglang yelled and rode his horse to forcefully break through at this moment. The first explosion sounded less than half a mile behind him.

Then roared one after another, the sound of chasing, footsteps, wind and arrows exploded at the same time.

At dawn, the Zheng'an Gate of Qi Palace also ushered in the first knock.

It's King Yong, who said that the emperor was attacked and he couldn't rest all night. After several times of thinking, he had to go to the palace to discuss with his two sisters-in-law.

This kind of thing has always been reported to Ruan Xueyin, it is too early, and there is no need to bother Ji Wanling.

At this time, the child would wake up, often kicking Ruan Xueyin awake, and when she came, she had already opened her eyes.

King Yong is waiting for Mingluan hall.She was quickly cleaned up by Yunxi, took two bites hastily, and passed quickly.

The imperial guards were on duty, and after Shen Ji left, his lieutenant general Tang Tian had been in charge of the palace, Jing Tingge was detained in the palace because of Ruan Xueyin's order to personally go to the prime minister's mansion.

He was also there at the moment, standing on the porch, guarding with a spear in one hand, when he saw Ruan Xueyin approaching, he saluted quickly.

They are all people who have passed the test of trust in this campaign.Seeing that he was on duty, Ruan Xueyin felt relieved, she nodded slightly, and told Diyan and Yunxi to wait by the gate, and stepped into the Mingluan Hall.

King Yong turned his head when he heard the sound, and called out "Sister-in-law Pei".

Ruan Xueyin crossed the threshold with half a foot, and stopped at this sound.

The corners of the eyes and brows of people with few ideas are also harmless.King Yong is at this moment.Except for last year's Autumn Hunt, which accidentally shot Xiao Mo, this round, as the head of the clan, he took the lead in admonishing several times, and married a side concubine with the surname Su - he has no stains, and even Gu Xinglang said that he will bring up half of the eleven , worthy of eight credits.

Is there no stain? The three items "except" actually count.

It is worth eight points of trust, so after all, it is two points suspicious.

The situation is settled.Believe in the king's policy and don't move the forbidden army.And Gu Xinglang disappeared again, of course, on the way back to Jidu.

It's just a matter of discussion in the Mingluan Palace, and Tang Tian is also on duty with the imperial guards.She could think of no reason to hesitate.

I just hesitated.She smiled and replied, "His Royal Highness." Then she retracted the foot that crossed the threshold, and stood outside, "I'm old, I don't sleep well, and I feel a little bored after eating breakfast, so let's talk outside." .”

Concerning the present and future is a family matter and even more a state matter, so of course we have to talk about it behind closed doors.But Ruan Xueyin was a woman and also a sister-in-law, and when she opened her mouth like this, King Yong couldn't refute, so she came out, and the two stood on the top of the long white jade steps to talk.

Tang Tian retreated a mile away with several imperial guards.

Yong Wang Da worried about the ninth brother talking about it, it is rare to talk too much, and gradually talked about the closeness of the brothers of the Gu family, and talked about a lot of youthful things that Ruan Xueyin did not know-"There are disputes, and it is also for the family and the country. Fourth brother, he never Not a narrow-minded person who covets the throne wholeheartedly."

These words don't have to be said at this time, but should be said at this time.Ruan Xueyin looked at the sky that lit up layer by layer following the other party's long chatter.This is seeing that it is impossible to send Eleven to be a lobbyist to save his life?
