In the afternoon, Jiang Qiulu received the news.
The forged equipment has been sorted out in the forging workshop in Kyoto City.
Ready for transport to the western border.
At this time, Li Mingzhi also rushed back from outside.
During this period of time, Li Mingzhi had been dealing with equipment forging and did not appear in the palace.
Jiang Xiawei is taking over the royal family's property.
"Your Majesty, I have already checked it."
"All the equipment is fine," Li Mingzhi said.
Jiang Qiulu nodded.
"Immediately transport this batch of equipment to the western border."
"At the same time, Jin Yiwei was sent to escort them." Jiang Qiulu said.
Afterwards, Li Mingzhi immediately went down to make arrangements.
At this time, Jiang Qiulu suddenly thought of the people from the sect who had arrived in Kyoto.
Suddenly, Jiang Qiulu seemed to understand their purpose.
Then, Jiang Qiulu looked at Jiang Donglin who was standing aside.
"Dong Lin, do you think these sect members came to Kyoto for this batch of equipment?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
Jiang Donglin also thought of the connection and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Brother Imperial, if this is the case, it can't be just these people in Kyoto City."
"From early this morning to now, there are less than ten people from the sect in Kyoto City."
"With these people alone, there is no way to attack the transport team."
"So, there may be an ambush on the way to the western front!" Jiang Donglin said quickly.
"This is all for sure." Jiang Qiulu nodded and said.
"However, there is a very critical issue."
"Why is the timing of these people's arrival so coincidental?"
"The equipment here has just been sorted out and ready to be sent to the western front, and then they arrived in exactly one day."
"Isn't this a little strange?" Jiang Qiulu said.
In fact, Jiang Donglin also thought of this possibility, but he was not sure.
But when Jiang Qiulu said this, the matter was basically confirmed.
"Brother Imperial, it's better to do this."
"Send troops from Kyoto City to clear the way for the transport team."
"Just to test the soldiers' training results, what do you think?" Jiang Donglin suggested.
"I think so too," Jiang Qiulu said.
"Send the order and send out soldiers from two more corps to cover and escort the transport team with all their strength."
Jiang Qiulu ordered again, and this time sent more people.
The direct strength of the two corps, plus the people sent by the Zhenfu Division, totaled nearly 10,000 people.
No sect would dare approach such a large formation.
"Donglin, the specific departure time has been determined."
"Early tomorrow morning, the transport team will set off immediately."
"It will take at least half a month to transport equipment from Kyoto City to the Western Front."
"We must seize the time." Jiang Qiulu said.
So, that night, all the forges in Kyoto City installed their equipment and gathered together.
There were tens of thousands of sets of weapons and equipment, and more than a hundred carriages were used.
It is impossible for such a huge team to enter the western front quietly.
What Jiang Qiulu can do is to seize the time and equip the transport team with defensive forces.
Early the next morning, the transportation team left the city in a mighty manner.
Just after the last carriage left the city gate, the gate of Kyoto City was immediately closed.
Because Di Yuanzheng had given orders, after the transport team left Kyoto City, the city gates were immediately closed and no one was allowed to go out.
In order to prevent the sect of Kyoto City from being an informant, this must be done.
After half a day, we passed by Baihu City.
There are two official roads leading to the western front, one on the left and one on the right.
Normally, the royal family usually chooses the nearest one as the transportation line to the western front.
Normally, the road on the left is the shortest, so the royal family often takes this road.
But it's different now.
There are spies in Kyoto, and the original road can no longer be used.
So the transport unit changed direction and walked to a road on the right.
This idea was thought up by King Jiang.
"If there is really a powerful person ambushing on that road, then this batch of equipment will be completely destroyed." These were King Jiang's original words.
The official road in the west of the city, somewhere.
I saw a dark crowd of people in the woods on the roadside.
There are a thousand people in total.
Each of these people wore sect clothes and held weapons.
"Senior Brother Jiang, why hasn't the transportation team from Kyoto shown up yet?"
The disciple who had been waiting for a long time couldn't hold back anymore and asked.
The man known as Senior Brother Jiang was stretching his neck and looking towards the end of the road with a look of eagerness.
"Let's wait and see."
"The information provided by Kuai Dao Tang should not be wrong."
"This official road is the route commonly used by the royal family, and it is also the closest route to the western front." Senior Brother Jiang said.
So these people waited from day to dusk, and from dusk to night.
But there is still no trace of the transportation team.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky gradually became brighter.
It was the beginning of winter, and although the snow had not fallen yet, the climate was still very cold.
All the people had been lying in wait in the woods for a day and were shivering from the cold.
"Brother, let's send a few people to take a look."
"We can't keep letting our people freeze here." A disciple said.
Senior Brother Jiang wrapped his clothes tightly and then spoke slowly.
"Okay, send a few people to investigate in the direction of Kyoto City." Senior Brother Jiang said.
"yes!"
Afterwards, a dozen disciples stood up and rushed towards the direction of Kyoto City.
At this time, the transportation team had already gone far.
These dozen disciples followed the official road to the west of the city and arrived at Baihu City.
Then, everyone discovered the clues.
On the outskirts of Baihu City, there are still a large number of car prints from the transportation team.
Then these people followed the direction of the car prints and kept looking forward.
After a while, everyone almost exploded with anger.
I saw that the direction of the car tracks led to another road.
It didn't follow the original route at all.
In other words, more than a thousand people had been freezing in the woods for a whole day.
At this time, the transportation team had no idea where it was going.
So, these dozen disciples immediately returned to the ambush location.
After arriving, the disciples told Senior Brother Jiang the news.
Senior Brother Jiang felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted.
"What do these idiots from Kuai Dao Tang do for food?"
"We've been freezing here all day for nothing!"
After that, Senior Brother Jiang started the incompetent and furious mode, and then continued to curse.
"Senior brother, please be patient."
"The transport team's vehicles probably haven't traveled too far yet."
"We follow their tracks quickly, and it shouldn't take long to catch up." The disciple just now said.
