The soldiers saw their leader kneeling on the ground and shouting long live. They had not recovered yet. They all followed Gao Deng and looked sideways at the object in the hands of the tiger-eyed young man. It was a long sword wrapped in bright yellow silk satin.
The sword head is made of white jade, and the hilt is made of fine rosewood. The sword is made of exotic animals, and the boxwood is wrapped in black leather as the scabbard. The mouth and end of the scabbard are inlaid with several precious jade stones with hollow gold ornaments. At this moment, it looks like a sword under the moonlight. The stars in the night sky are shining brightly.
Xu An had never seen Tianwei, so of course he didn't know what this sword was. But when he saw General Gao kneeling and shouting, and saw the bright yellow satin wrapping the long sword, he suddenly realized it, and he hurriedly bent over and knelt down, enduring the wound on his ribs. In the heartbreaking pain, I knelt down and shouted long live.
When the soldiers saw this, no matter how dull they were, they knew what the long sword represented, and they all knelt down and shouted.
The tiger-eyed young man glanced at the patrol camp at the moment. Only one person was left standing, which was very unexpected. It was not the young boy Mu Yi, who else. He was about to scold him, but then he thought of him as a martial artist in Mo County before. He was so ignorant of etiquette when he was patrolling the department, and now is not the time to worry about it.
Seeing the bandit sitting slumped on the ground at his feet, his muscles broken by his abolished martial arts, he immediately said in a solemn voice: "Sit down."
It's not that Gu Xiao doesn't want to kneel down, it's just that he stands beside Gao Deng, and his thoughts are all on the two escaped bandit leaders. All the dead bandits in the patrol have been killed, and the bandit leader, the young man in snow clothes, was hit with all his strength. Palm, the injury must be serious. Although the long-bearded old man protecting him is extremely high in martial arts, he will definitely not be able to use his full strength if he wants to carry an injured person far away.
Previously, he was worried that if he left to pursue, the old man would kill him and no one in the patrol would be able to stop him. What's more, there was another incident that made Gu Xiao even more worried.
When he was outside the patrol and overheard Mr. Xueyi plotting poisoning, he mentioned Elder Xu and thought that Elder Xu was the masked man he met when he rescued Yang Huchen, but now it seems that Come on, the elder Xu who escaped with the young man in snow clothes is not the same person as the masked man. In this case, Mr. Yun needs to rush there as soon as possible...
In order to prevent the Golden Knife Gate from poisoning the patrol, he had already wasted a lot of time here. He must find Mr. Yun and Mo Sicheng before the masked man.
As for the two bandit leaders who escaped, the young man thought for a moment and made up his mind. When he raised his eyes, he found that all the patrolmen had fallen to their knees. Only then did he see the long sword in the hands of the tiger-eyed young man. , the bright yellow satin is very conspicuous in the night.
Even though Gu Xiao is a member of the martial arts world, he knows what the long sword represents. When he saw everyone kneeling, he seemed to be... not very gregarious. When he was hesitating whether to kneel down towards the bright yellow, he heard that The tiger-eyed young man said the word "flat body".
"Commander Xu, capture the bandit and wait for the imperial envoy to interrogate him." Gao Deng stood up and gave Xu An instructions.
After finishing speaking, he wanted to invite the imperial envoy to enter the camp to rest. When he looked back, he realized that wherever there was a intact tent in the patrol camp, it was already in a mess. Gordon felt a little embarrassed.
Then he thought about it and realized that he was just a bastard in the eyes of the officials above the temple. He immediately pretended to be flattering and spoke to the tiger-eyed young man.
"I didn't know that the imperial envoy was coming to Yanbei. Please forgive me."
Although there is a secret decree from the Holy One, the task assigned by the Holy One to remove the thorn in Yanbei's heart has not yet been completed. Now he cannot tell this imperial envoy that the Holy One has sealed the post of commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory.
Looking at the Shangfang Sword in the hands of the tiger-eyed young man, Gao Deng did not dare to speculate on the holy intention, but he could not help but secretly thought in his heart: "I acted according to the decree, but why did the Holy Spirit send an imperial envoy to Yanbei? The young man pretended to be a waiter and came in. I am in the military camp and came to help in a critical moment. Is it also arranged by the Holy One? Could it be that the Holy One is still worried about me? After all, my brother is in a dead situation. I don’t know, but everything is under the control of the Holy One..."
As Yan Qingchuan showed Shang Fang's sword, Gao Deng's heart was in chaos. He knew that talking too much will lead to mistakes, so he endured the injury on his shoulder and stood bowed.
Yan Qingchuan did not know the secret order Gao Deng received. He only knew that the bag of advice given by the Holy One was for him to go to the patrol to mobilize Gao Deng for help when His Highness Prince Ning encountered obstacles in Yanbei and needed to mobilize troops.
Looking at the well-known fat general in front of him, Yan Qingchuan couldn't figure out why the Holy Emperor only asked him to handle the hundreds of capable ministers and generals in Yanbei, not to mention Wanjun. This notorious idiot general listens.
Looking at his embarrassed appearance with a wounded shoulder, the soldiers of the first battalion of the patrol under his command suffered heavy casualties, and they felt even more disdainful in their hearts. However, the sacred order cannot be violated, and there is no room for him to think about anything else at the moment. It is better to ask His Highness Prince Ning first. What goes down is what goes up.
Concentrating his mind and ignoring Gao Deng's flattery, Yan Qingchuan took three steps and two steps at a time until he was beside the young man who was about to regain consciousness. With a serious look on his face, he asked in a low voice: "Ning... where is Imperial Envoy Yun now?"
Seeing Yan Qingchuan's anxious expression, Gu Xiao immediately told the truth about Mr. Yun's whereabouts to the beacon tower. He also told Yan Qingchuan everything he encountered in the Mojun Mountains and what happened to the masked man.
Hearing that a master among the bandits was heading straight for Mr. Yun, Yan Qingchuan's expression suddenly changed, and he protected Prince Ning and went north incognito. No one in the court knew that the masked man could actually tell how His Highness Prince Ning looked and dressed. He came for an assassination. He immediately panicked and angrily grabbed Gu Xiaoqing's shirt by the collar and said angrily: "How dare you, a mountain villager, leave an imperial envoy behind?"
Gu Xiao also did not expect that the Yanbei bandit case would lead to a series of events, and he was deeply involved in it. However, he never regretted helping the patrol and replied in a solemn voice.
"Young Master Yun's status as an imperial envoy is indeed noble, but since he has entered the court as an official, he naturally puts the people first. Young Master Yun has a righteous heart and is willing to risk his own safety to light the beacon... What's more, Mr. Yun's imperial envoy's order is Life, are the lives of these hundreds of soldiers not life? If so, why did Brother Yan take action to kill the bandits just now... Now that the bandits are all wiped out, let's rush there as soon as possible."
Every word of the young man in green shirt made sense. Yan Qingchuan was left speechless. He could not show his identity as the prince of Prince Ning to refute the young man. If he knew that Mu Yi had left His Highness Prince Ning and acted alone, He had already rushed to the beacon tower on horseback.
His chest heaved violently, and Yan Qingchuan's face turned red. He really wanted to pull out Shang Fang's sword and kill the young man in front of him, but now that he knew the whereabouts of His Highness Prince Ning, he didn't want to waste any more words. He threw away the green shirt in his hand and coldly He grunted and started to move. He found a good horse in the military camp and sat on it, so he started to move.
When the officers and soldiers of Gaodeng saw the imperial envoy and the young man in green shirt who had saved him, they lowered their heads and whispered to each other. The imperial envoy suddenly grabbed the young man's collar, as if there was a conflict. One of the two men was the benefactor who saved his life, and the other held a hand in his hand. Shang Fang's sword has a distinguished status. For some reason, all the soldiers of the patrol looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know whether to step forward to persuade him or to avoid it. They had no choice but to turn their gazes to their own generals.
When he looked back, General Gao had long since disappeared. Looking around, there was no one there. When he was confused, a crossbowman lowered his head unintentionally, only to see that fat body already lying in the snow, with blood oozing from his shoulders. Everyone Seeing that his general was seriously injured and fainting, he rushed to rescue him. The scene was chaotic for a while.
Xu An quickly sent all his soldiers to lift Gao Deng and set off to seek medical treatment. However, after experiencing a life-and-death battle, the soldiers were all exhausted. Gao Deng, who was wide and fat, seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds. He could not even lift him for a moment. The soldiers' hands slipped, and Gordon's fat body fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, there was thick snow on the ground, which prevented Gordon's injuries from worsening.
The fat body that was still in a coma a moment ago suddenly screamed as soon as it hit the ground: "You guys, have you forgotten how I treat you on weekdays? Do you want to throw me to death? I'm dead." , I have to drag you along to be buried with me."
Perhaps Yan Qingchuan, who was disturbed by Gao Deng's screams and was overwhelmed by anger, calmed down instantly. Just then he heard that Mu Yi allowed Prince Ning to go down and light the beacon fire. He lost his judgment in anger and thought about this moment. Even if he rushed to the beacon tower all night long, it would probably be too late.
With His Majesty's wisdom, since he allowed himself to adjust Gao Deng, he would never do anything useless. Gao Deng looked like he was fainting, but when he fell to the ground and let out a wail, it was clear at a glance that he was deliberately pretending... It's better to ask for advice. Let's see what he can do.
As for Mu Yi, given his reckless status and not knowing the identity of His Highness Prince Ning... After thinking about it carefully, Yan Qingchuan's anger immediately disappeared a little, turned around and walked to Gu Xiao's side, and spoke with a slight apology.
"I just protected my heart..."
"Brother Yan, there is no need to be like this. It is true that I have to protect Mr. Yun first... I will talk about this later. In addition to going to Mr. Yun, there is another very important thing right now. But there are only two of us, so I may not have enough manpower. ." Gu Xiao was well aware of the tiger-eyed young man's desire to protect his master, and did not care about his impulsive actions. He slightly moved his eyes towards the still howling general of the army.
Yan Qingchuan saw that the young man did not pursue the matter. When he heard what he said, he knew what Mu Yi meant, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, if you need manpower, all the officers and soldiers of the patrol here are available."
Gu Xiao raised his head slightly and said in a low voice: "The escaped bandit leader had a bodyguard who was a master. He was on par with the masked men I mentioned earlier in the Mojun Mountains. If you and I faced the enemy alone, I'm afraid None of them are their rivals.”
"What do you mean..." Yan Qingchuan seemed to understand what the boy meant.
"These bandits have already been killed. The bandit leader was hit by my full palm. Even if his accompanying masters use their own internal strength to heal their wounds, they will not be able to force out my palm power in less than three to five hours." Gu Xiao thought for a moment and continued. Open your mouth.
"More than half of these soldiers were killed or wounded in the battle with the bandits just now. I'm worried that once the patrol is unguarded, if the bandit leader takes the opportunity to return, the patrol will be defeated. Brother Yan has the imperial envoy's token in hand, It is better to protect the garrison, mobilize troops, and then provide support."
Although Yan Qingchuan was protecting King Ning Qi Tao when he went north to thoroughly investigate the bandits harassing the people, in Yan Qingchuan's heart, the safety of King Ning was the most important, and he immediately said: "What about Mr. Yun..."
"Brother Yan, don't worry. Since I have to protect Mr. Yun, I will naturally shoulder the responsibility. I will immediately set off to the beacon tower to find Mr. Yun... The bandit leader and all the bandits are here. Mr. Yun is not available for the time being. No, even if the masked man has a high level of martial arts, he won't be able to find the beacon tower for a while. If we mobilize our troops and a large group of people rush to the beacon tower, we will actually point out the direction to the bandits. The location of Mr. Yun has been exposed." Gu Xiao said calmly.
Yan Qingchuan had seen the young man's skills and knew that no matter his light skills or internal strength, he was not as fast as the young man. He immediately said: "What Brother Mu said is true, I will follow your method."
Hearing this, Gu Xiao cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave soon."
Gordon saw that the imperial envoy and the young man, who had been glaring at each other just now, seemed to have reconciled. After searching for the corpses of the dead soldiers, the green-shirted young man moved and left with Qinggong. He couldn't help but feel glad that he had not intervened to persuade the two of them, otherwise the two would have been together. When people blame themselves, they get into trouble.
When it comes to marching and setting up formations, I am not as good as Wan Jun. However, if Wan Jun could learn a thing or two about observing people's movements and pretending to be dumbfounded, he would not have ended up being dismissed from office and escorted to Beijing.
But this is not what needs to be considered at the moment. I don’t know whether the imperial envoy holding Shang Fang’s sword knows about the Holy Emperor’s secret decree. If he doesn’t know, he still needs to think of a way to hide it from him. After all, there is no one to rely on here. What if the imperial envoy Asked how these bandits got into their patrol camp...
After thinking about this, Gordon looked secretly and saw that after the young man left, the imperial envoy turned around and came towards him. He quickly pretended that his shoulder was seriously injured and wailed as hard as he could, but his eyes kept glancing at Xu An beside him...
m.
Some people died, but not completely...
