Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 355 pass by
After all, the emperor was going out, so the accompanying guards were naturally not too weak.

If you participate in various sacrifices in the capital, generally only [-] Long Jinwei on duty are enough to be the guards.

And like now, when the emperor went to work in other places.

Not only did the whole squad of three hundred dragon guards accompany them, but the Beijing camp also sent a thousand households to follow them.

When passing through various places, the guards in the area under their jurisdiction will also send at least one thousand households.

When the emperor passed by, he followed far behind until he was escorted out of their territory.

Adding all these together, there are more than 2000 people.

However, the guards were behind the team after all, at least four or five miles away.

And around Yujia, there are only three hundred Dragon Forbidden Captains and one thousand Jingying guards.

Among them, Long Jinwei is mostly a child of a family like Jia Rong, and it is just decent to be with the emperor.

To be honest, most of them are just some fake goods.

It's definitely not a problem to encounter ordinary people making trouble.

Once you encounter an established enemy, it's not enough to watch at all.

No, fortunately there are still people from Jingying.

As soon as the opponent's troops appeared, the Jingying took the lead in forming a formation to meet the enemy.

As for the Dragon Guards...

If the emperor hadn't been there, they would have dispersed long ago.

Fortunately, at this time, the Jingying was standing in front, and Long Jinwei protected Yujia and took a step ahead.

Most of the civil and military officials who followed had been intercepted and scattered outside the formation.

Many people see that the situation is not right, the first choice is to turn around.

Because there are guards following behind.

Only the real dignitaries, who are not far from Yujia, are protected together in the army formation.

After all, Feng Yibo is also a hereditary second-class general of Zhenhai, so he is naturally not far from Yujia.

These dignitaries were afraid that they would be left behind, so they all gathered around Yujia.

He has experienced battles, but he didn't panic.

Feng Yibo asked Dabo to find Daping first, so that he could meet up with Baochai and Li Mengshi.

And he himself held a gun in one hand and a grenade on his waist.

In two or three steps, he boarded the roof of the car and looked at the situation in front of the battle.

He frowned and looked at it, but his heart was full of doubts.

It's obviously inland, where did the thieves attack the emperor's car?

These people roared in, looking obviously well-trained.

Not to mention all the horsemen, they also have pole weapons in their hands.

Although there is no armor, he is still a serious cavalry!

Thinking of this, a ridiculous idea popped up in his heart.

Xianling is located in Xiaoci County, more than ten days away from Duzhong.

Although it is directly under the central government of Duzhong and belongs to Daming Mansion, it is located next to Shandong.

Could it be...the horse bandits from the two prefectures of Shandong?
But why did the horse bandits dare to attack the fully armored officers and soldiers?
Are you here to die?

If it is really the horse bandits in Shandong, the consequences of their doing so.

The biggest possibility is to let the court regard it as a serious problem!

No matter whether they succeed in the end or not, they will all face the frantic encirclement and suppression of the army.

This is why Feng Yibo finds it ridiculous.

Do you really think that killing the emperor can become the emperor?

But other than that, he really couldn't think of where there was such a group of people.

These people look at least thousands, and they are definitely well-trained.

Maybe even battle-hardened!

It can be seen from the fact that they were shot by the Beijing camp and their formation was still in order.

Even Jingying didn't have time to shoot the second round of arrows, and was directly smashed into the formation.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party didn't love fighting, they would have broken up with Jingying at the touch of a button.

Two more rounds of charges, it is estimated that the Beijing camp will collapse.

And after they rushed once, they immediately chased in the direction where Emperor Jingshun fled.

Feng Yibo knew that things were not that simple!
joke!

Judging by the posture of the other party, you can tell that it is definitely not a chance encounter.

It was an organized and premeditated murder!
At this time, Dabo and Daping finally came back with the female family members of the Feng family.

Li Mengshi, Baochai, and Mrs. You are all there, as well as the maids who serve them.

Plus a few long followers driving the car, there are more than ten people.

Their car was not too far from Feng Yibo's side, with only a dozen meters between them.

They were at a loss when they heard the shouts of killing outside just now.

As soon as he received the letter from Da Bo, he hurriedly abandoned the car and walked over directly.

Don't look at it's only a short dozen meters.

At this time, there was chaos outside, and the horses and chariots were still gathering towards Yujia.

Their car couldn't drive over at all, so they could only stay where they were.

Feng Yibo jumped off the carriage and ordered:
"Dabo Daping, get the car over there first!"

He raised his hand and pointed, but it was not in the direction of the flow of people.

but to the west.

Since the other party's goal is clear, then it is courting death to join the emperor's side.

He was going to let his family members leave the battlefield first, and then talk about other things.

The flow of people was chaotic and crowded, and there were panicked figures everywhere.

All the officials and their families fled around like headless chickens.

Most people's first reaction is to go north, which is the way back to the middle of the capital.

Dabo and Daping, with a few long followers, are trying their best to drive the car out of the right way first.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Yibo led everyone to the side of the road to wait.

All the female relatives were terrified just now, especially the little girls who were already wiping away their tears.

Li Mengshi, Baochai and Youlao Niang also looked shocked.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. You see, these thieves don't intend to attack the officials."

Feng Yibo comforted him first, and then told Baochai:
"There is no road here, you go on for a while, and then get in the car when it is flatter."

Seeing Baochai nodding, without waiting for her reply,

Feng Yibo said to the sad Li Mengshi again:
"Master, you go to the Fucheng of Daming Mansion and wait for me first, and I will meet you when I find my mentor."

Li Mengshi was indeed worried about Li Shouzhong, but she shook her head when she heard the words, and said:
"Master should have gone with Shengjia, so nothing will happen, Yibo, you should go with us."

In her mind, it must be safer for the emperor to have someone guarding him at this time.

But it was because Li Shouzhong might leave with the emperor that Feng Yibo was more worried about his teacher's safety.

But he didn't explain too much to Li Mengshi, only said:
"I'll go faster on horseback. I'll go and look for it first. If I don't find it, I'll chase you."

Judging from his last experience in Iron Net Mountain, Emperor Jingshun could also ride a horse, and his feet were very fast.

A veteran like Li Shouzhong could only attract the enemy's attention from behind.

So he felt that there was still a high chance of finding it.

Even if he couldn't find it, as long as he didn't get close to the emperor's car, he shouldn't be in too much danger.

Before Li Mengshi could say anything, Dabo and the others had already driven the car out of the right way.

This side is full of ruggedness, and the carriage must not be able to accommodate people, but the empty carriage can still barely move.

If they didn't leave a car, they wouldn't be able to go far with the bodies of Li Mengshi and the others.

Seeing that he could leave, Feng Yibo urged again:

"Dabo, Daping, you escort the old lady over there, and when you are out of danger here, you will go to Daming Mansion with the others."

"Yes!" The two hurriedly agreed.

After finishing speaking, he said to Baochai who was full of worry but couldn't say it:
"I'm going to find my mentor. If I don't catch up with you, we'll meet up in the Fucheng of Daming Mansion. The Fu Tongzhi of Daming Mansion is also a mentor's disciple. If you reveal your identities, he will arrange for you."

Seeing that Baochai was still worried, Feng Yibo touched her face with a smile, and said softly:

"Madam take good care of Mrs. Shi and Mrs. You, and I will do what I can."

Baochai understands Feng Yibo's temperament, and has always kept his word on such important matters.

At this moment, he could only sigh slightly and said:
"Master! You must be careful, we are waiting for you!"

"Do not worry!"

Feng Yibo nodded with a smile, turned around and drove towards Baochai's car.

He first took out the stirrups and whips from the cart, and then untied the horses from the cart.

After adjusting the saddle, he got on the horse with one leg, and chased north along the flow of people.

A man can do something and not do something.

He can ignore any emperor, but he cannot abandon his relatives.

Lin Ruhai is still behind, so there should be no problem with safety.

But Li Shouzhong, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, should have fled north with him when the accident happened.

If you fall behind halfway and are caught up by thieves, it will be very dangerous.

"Escort! Quickly escort!"

"Kill!"

"Children, follow me!"

The Beijing camp here is still trying to regroup, trying to hold back the thieves' pace, and the shouts of killing continue for a while.

After all the soldiers capable of fighting were left behind, Captain Long ran fast.

This made Feng Yibo a little worried.

It is a bit embarrassing that the elite of the Beijing camp was wasted here.

However, his heart is hanging on now, but he can't take care of these.

Even with muskets and grenades, it is difficult to protect yourself if you are really caught in a battle.

The most he can do is to die with a dozen people.

Feng Yibo searched while walking like this, but there was no trace of Li Shouzhong.

Along the way, I ran into some familiar officials and family members. When I saw him, I shouted:

"Yibo! Come here!"

"It turns out, aunts and sisters-in-law, have you seen my benefactor?"

The female relatives of Rongning Second Mansion, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. You.

There are a few others that Feng Yibo has never seen before, they should be the old relatives of the Jia family, and the orders of the other family.

One of them looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"We've come all the way, we've gathered here, and my father-in-law should be by Shengjia's side, so I don't think you need to worry."

Mrs. Wang shook her head, and introduced him again:

"This is the imperial concubine of Beijing Jing and several family friends. Now that we have met, why don't Yibo go with us too!"

These people were still in shock, and when they saw someone they knew, they wanted to invite them to go with them.

Especially for the familiar juniors, many things are more convenient.

"These thieves seem to have a clear purpose. I think you should change your direction, or you may be caught up by the thieves."

Unfortunately, Feng Yibo didn't respond, but said again:

"I arranged for my wife and wife to go to Daming Mansion. If Auntie believes me, it's best to leave this road too."

As he spoke, he looked west and pointed.

If they believed their words, they would still be able to bring news to Shi Niang and Baochai.

"Everyone, I'm going to find my mentor first!"

After Feng Yibo finished speaking, he bowed his hands and said goodbye, and continued to look for Li Shouzhong.

A group of female relatives looked at his back thoughtfully, and Youshi was the first to speak:

"Auntie, I think what Yi Bo said is right, those thieves should be for... We'd better avoid it."

In fact, they were in a panic, so they followed the flow of people to the north.

At this time, when Feng Yibo said that the thief had a clear goal, many people realized it.

Obviously, this target refers to Emperor Jingshun.

It was difficult for Youshi to explain clearly, but everyone present understood.

Immediately, as soon as everyone discussed it, they also turned west and went to the Daming Mansion.

Feng Yibo is still heading north.

But the farther you go, the fewer and fewer people are on the road.

Or most of them reacted and fled separately.

Or they are still being carried and wrapped, and they are all in the team driving in front.

Fortunately, after there were fewer people, although there were fewer inquiries, the horses were able to run away.

But along the way, I occasionally met people asking about it, but there was still no news of Li Shouzhong.

The biggest possibility now is that he is still with the emperor.

After chasing the horse northward for a while, Feng Yibo was hesitating to give up searching, but accidentally saw the Long Jinwei team in front of him.

But this is not what he caught up with.

Instead, Captain Long was stopped by thieves!

Feng Yibo didn't go over impulsively, he just stopped in the distance to watch the opponent's fight.

I saw that although most of Long Jinwei were descendants of aristocratic families, some of them were capable.

Unfortunately, the bravery of a few cannot decide the outcome of the battle.

No matter how good the kung fu is, it is not invulnerable.

Seeing the intercepted thieves circling round and round, Long Jinwei was trapped in place and could not move.

Feng Yibo sighed secretly.

If there were no reinforcements, Emperor Jingshun would be in danger this time!
I just don't know if those thieves will attack my mentor and those old ministers.

While he was watching from a distance, worried in his heart.

A group of people came roaring from behind.

Feng Yibo looked back, feeling a little disappointed.

Obviously, this is the thief who just broke free from the Beijing camp and came to reinforce him.

Passers-by were encountered along the way, and some of them just shot.

Those who didn't kill didn't bother to make up the knife.

Seeing such a situation, Feng Yibo hastily turned his horse's head, wanting to get out of the way to the woods beside the road.

But when one of the thieves saw him, he got excited and rushed towards him.

Lin Zi was close in front of his eyes, but the bloody gun head was also behind him.

Feng Yibo's hairs exploded, and he was about to get off his horse.

A fall would mean broken bones and tendons, but if you were poked, you would be cold.

But at this time, someone among the thieves stretched out his gun again, and swiped that man's gun.

"Snapped!"

Feng Yibo brushed past the god of death, and all the thieves also passed him.

"Don't kill this person!"

When the two sides brushed each other, he was listening to the man who rescued him say something.

People passed by, but the voice was still lingering in my ears.

Does this person know me?
Listening to the accent...it seems to be in the middle!

After Long Jinwei was intercepted, he was a little tired of coping.

Now the thieves have caught up with hundreds of people, and the pressure suddenly increased.

This group of people seemed to be elite, and with just one charge, they tore a hole in Captain Long's formation.

Soon, Captain Long was defeated.

This time, Emperor Jingshun is afraid that the worst will happen.

Although he was worried about Li Shouzhong's safety, Feng Yibo also had things to do.

When the general situation was over, he turned his horse's head and prepared to leave.

At this moment, I heard someone chasing after me.

He hastened to speed up his horse, but he heard a shout from behind:

"Wait a minute, General Feng! My master invites you to go over and talk!"

this voice...

It turned out to be the thief who just rescued him? !
