Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 124 Three People Two Horses
Everyone has their own selfishness, which Fu Chengyang knows very well.

It was precisely because of this selfishness that he was able to control the government and hold a group of officials from other places in his own hands.

This is not only based on force, but also benefits. Following him, Fu Chengyang can eat a lot of food without worrying about losing his head. This is the reason why all the officials are willing to follow his lead.

Fu Chengyang defended them, and correspondingly, when he needed help, they would spare no effort to return it.This is the tacit understanding and the rules. If someone wants to break the rules, Fu Chengyang's terrifying side will be revealed.

Now Xuzhou State Mu Songqian broke the rules.

He didn't know that among the staff in his house that day, there was someone from Fu Chengyang himself.

After Song Qian decided to send only half of his troops to support Qingzhou and the capital, the man immediately secretly passed the news to the capital and to Fu Chengyang.

When Fu Chengyang found out, he could imagine how annoyed he was.

At such a critical juncture, even the capital is in danger of war, and Song Qian, the Xuzhou state shepherd, is still so thoughtful, which is a complete violation of the rules.

In normal times, Fu Chengyang would probably just beat him up and not take his life.

But now several strategies against Su Yuan have ended in failure, and the current situation is not good, so he has nowhere to vent his anger.

Now that Song Qian happened to bump into him, if he didn't take it out on him, who would he take it out on?
At this moment, Bai Shiquan thought while driving: "No wonder everyone calls Fu Chengyang nine thousand years old. A dignified state shepherd, he can kill as he pleases. He is really lawless."

He is the leader of the beggar gang, and now he is sent to be an assassin, and he must be dissatisfied in his heart.

But he doesn't want to die in the hands of Fu Chengyang, and now, he has put all his treasures on Fu Chengyang, so he can only obey him.

After all... There is no place for him in this Jianghu!
Baishiquan had a gloomy expression and a heavy heart.

Ever since he led the beggar gang to join the army and took refuge in the imperial court, there was an uproar and accusations in the world.

After the news spread that Emperor Qingxiang named him the "Leader of the Martial Arts", the various sects even condemned him, and they all jointly stated that the world would never recognize him as the leader of the Martial Arts.

Not only did he not admit it, but he was also expelled from the Central Plains Jianghu, and Baishiquan was not allowed to participate in any Jianghu conference from now on.

As the largest gang in Jianghu, the head of the beggar gang, being boycotted by all gangs, this feeling is naturally uncomfortable.

But from the moment Baishiquan made his decision, he would not and could not regret it.

He can only go to Hei one way now, hoping that the court can put down the Su Yuan rebellion as soon as possible, and then he and the beggar gang will have a chance to make a comeback.

"Su Yuan, sorcery..."

Bai Shiquan thought of the many strange arts that had appeared on the Chuancheng battlefield before, and felt a little worried.

He has never heard of or seen these black arts, and no one has ever used them in the Jianghu of the Central Plains.

Could it be a different art from Northern Xinjiang?Where did it come from...

The world is full of wonders, and it is difficult for Bai Shiquan to make a definite judgment.

He was just worried, if Su Yuan had more terrifying sorcery, would even Fu Chengyang fall for it?

After thinking about it, he shook his head again.

"The majestic master master has almost lost his mortal body, so why would he be afraid of some sorcery? I'd better do my job well first!"

Bai Shiquan touched the bundle hanging on his chest, which contained an imperial decree, forged by Fu Chengyang.

The content of the imperial decree is very simple, it is to ask all the generals in Kaiyang City to lead the whole army to the capital immediately without delay, otherwise the nine clans will all be punished.

Baishiquan's mission was to publicize the imperial decree after killing Song Qian, and go to the capital with the whole army of Xuzhou.

……

Zhou Shu wanted to go to Qingzhou together, which shocked her two maidservants.

After they regained their senses, they wanted to persuade their master, but Zhou Shu's attitude was so firm, how could they not know that persuasion was useless.

After Su Yuan finished saying "There is no joke in the army", seeing that Zhou Shu was still so determined, he agreed to let her go with him.

He left a sentence of "Clean up and leave in a moment" and started to prepare first.

Zhou Shu himself went back to the room, opened the closet, and sorted out the change of clothes he carried with him.

Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue were helping at the side, and they were always nimble with their hands and feet, but now their movements were very slow.

After a while, seeing that the package was about to be packed, Xiaoqing couldn't help but said: "Princess, why are you going to Qingzhou? It's so nice to be in Taiyuan..."

Although Xiaoyue didn't speak, but from the look on her face, she undoubtedly had the same idea as Xiaoqing.

Zhou Shu said to the two of them: "Xiaoqing Xiaoyue, I really want Su Yuan to win this battle. This is what the common people are looking forward to, and it is also what I am looking forward to."

"..."

The two maidservants fell silent.

They could vaguely guess what Zhou Shu meant by "I hope".

When I was in the palace before, even though the emperor strictly prohibited it, some court ladies and eunuchs still couldn't control their mouths and spread some things about Concubine Rong.

There are rumors that Concubine Rong did not suffer from madness herself, but was persecuted and bullied by the emperor and other noble concubines, and finally she was overwhelmed, so she went crazy.

These are all rumors, what is the truth, not to mention the eunuchs and maids, even Xiaoqing Xiaoyue, the personal maid who has been with Zhou Shu all the year round, is not clear.

But they knew that Zhou Shu seemed to have a certain understanding of the inside story of this matter.

Now that she said that, it means that her mother, Concubine Rong Gui, "died of madness", I am afraid there is something inside.

As for what it was, the two of them naturally understood, even if Zhou Shu knew, he wouldn't tell them.

"That……"

Seeing Zhou Shu's insistence, Xiaoyue said, "Princess, let's go with you."

"No, I'll go by myself."

"How can that be done!" Xiao Qing said anxiously, "We are not here, who will serve you! There must be no maidservants in the Bei'an Army..."

Zhou Shu shook his head lightly: "You heard that someone in the army will bring people to serve him."

"But……"

The two of them were still waiting to talk, but Su Yuan came.

"How are you getting ready?"

"It's all packed up."

Zhou Shu brought up the burden, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue couldn't understand Zhou Shu, so they wanted to talk about Su Yuan in a roundabout way.

Xiao Qing boldly asked: "Prince, me, can we go with the princess?"

"you?"

Su Yuan knew that these two girls were Zhou Shu's maids, and the maids were going to go to the army with them?He definitely didn't agree.

No one in the army enjoys it, at least not in his army.Zhou Shu followed. In Su Yuan's eyes, he was at most a small aide. He would never treat her as a princess and arrange someone to serve her.

"Xiaoqing, don't you listen to me?" Zhou Shu frowned.

She usually doesn't get angry very much, but after a little bit of displeasure, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue were very scared. When she asked her this question, they hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"Let's go when you're ready. The front line is tense and there's no room for delay."

"it is good."

Zhou Shu instructed the two of them again, and then went out with Su Yuan.

When she came outside the courtyard, she found that there was already a person standing at the door.

At the first glance, she was a little dazed, a little shocked by the appearance of the woman in front of her.

"This is my Grand Master Zhenmiao, and this is Zhou Shu." Su Yuan briefly introduced.

Only then did Zhou Shu realize that the woman Yang Zhen told her about living in the east courtyard and not allowing others to disturb her was the woman named "Zhen Miao".

Although she has been in the palace for some time, but today is the first time she sees Zhen Miao.This is also because Zhen Miao doesn't go out very often, and even if he goes out, he will be unnoticed.

But, Su Yuan actually called her "Great Master"?
Zhou Shu wondered how old this woman is...

And Su Yuan came back from the Qingzhou front this time, could it be that he made a special trip to bring him, the great master, there?

Zhou Shu thought of many things at once. When the two met for the first time, they simply said hello, and then they came to the stable.

After Su Yuan got on his horse, he looked at Zhou Shu who was looking down with embarrassment, and asked, "You don't know how to ride a horse?"

"……Won't."

Although Zhou Shu grew up in the royal family, horseback riding and archery is a "compulsory course" for the princes. Because she doesn't like sports very much, she didn't take part in it much, and spent most of her time studying.

"..."

The time to go to Qingzhou is tight, Su Yuan will not get a carriage for Zhou Shu and let her go there slowly.

He was about to say that it is better for her to stay, but Zhen Miao suddenly said to Zhou Shu: "You and I can ride together."

Zhou Shu suddenly showed gratitude: "Thank you, senior."

"You're welcome."

Zhen Miao pulled Zhou Shu onto the horse he was riding, let her sit in the front, and held the rein behind him.

Although Su Yuan felt a little strange, he didn't say much and set off immediately.

Three people and two horses went out from the palace, left Taiyuan, followed the official road all the way east, and soon came to Tianmen Pass.

Rest here for a while and drink some water.

Zhou Shu knew that the battle at Tianmen Pass was a crucial battle, Li Shengtian sent by the court to defeat the northern army, Li Shengtian himself did not participate in this battle, it was undoubtedly a major blow to the court of Great Zhou.

It was precisely because of winning this battle that Su Yuan's Bei'an army successfully broke through several cities in Qingzhou, so that the imperial court had to secretly summon the kings of the states and make a plan for peace.

Zhou Shu raised his eyes to look at the city wall. There were some blood stains and traces of fire that had not faded away. They all showed how tragic the previous battle was.

After a short rest, the three set off again.

This time, he drove all the way to Guocheng. After a few hours, even though Zhou Shu was just sitting on the horse, he still felt extremely exhausted, as if he was going to fall apart due to the bumps of the road.

But she resisted not shouting tired and went all the way to Guocheng Inn.

Zhou Shu grabbed the saddle and got off the horse sideways. The moment his legs landed, his whole body went limp and he fell backwards.

Su Yuan was standing next to her, and when he saw this, he quickly reached out to support her. He supported the girl's arms and shoulders, and the softness of the girl's body was transmitted through the summer shirt.

"Are you okay?"

Zhou Shu's heart fluttered, and he quickly said, "I'm fine..."

"Take a break, and go on the road tomorrow." Su Yuan said, seeing Zhou Shu stand firmly, he let go of his hand.After hesitating for a while, he looked at Zhen Miao again, "Grand Master, can you please give her some internal energy to relieve her fatigue?"

This kind of exhaustion will definitely not be relieved by sleeping. Su Yuan is worried about delaying tomorrow's schedule, and is also touched by Zhou Shu's strength.Thirdly, if she continues like this, she may fall ill before reaching the front line because she can't bear the fatigue of the journey.

A royal princess who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, running around for hours without shouting tired, this is enough to make him respectful.

Zhen Miao did not refuse, and readily agreed: "Okay."
