In addition to the Dongchang Fourth Battalion, there are also Hao Yaoqi and Ji Jike!
Half an hour later, Hao Yaoqi and Ji Jike were ordered to assist in the defense of the Waidongchang Yamen. They each mobilized two hundred soldiers to control all the streets and alleys around the Yamen. After dark, a curfew was implemented. Anyone who dares to enter without permission will be killed!
Chunxiang arranged all this and immediately entered the palace to meet the saint. Then Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guards of Wang Jiayan, the governor of the capital, received an oral order: Inspect the nine gates. If there is any abnormal movement in the city, guard the gates. Anyone who opens them without permission will be killed. If The two people who had neglected their duties came to see each other.
Wang Jiayan and Wu Mengming felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They knew that the undercurrent caused by the arrests was surging. They couldn't think of peace in the capital these days, but they were also curious, would anyone really take the risk?
Who knows?
But everything must be nipped in the bud.
If someone really wants to escape from prison at all costs, then he should first break through the Dongchang Yamen and then fight his way out of the city.
This... is difficult to reach the sky!
What's more, this is a road of no return. Which wealthy family does not have a family of hundreds of people? If they really sit like this, they will either run away, otherwise it will really be a stew.
But there is no shortage of adventurous people in the world.
"Who is the instigator behind this, who is so crazy that he wants to harm my son..." Queen Zhou in Kunning Palace looked worried with wet tears on her face: "You have to stay in the palace and run out. Your Majesty, have you been too free recently?" Him."
Emperor Chongzhen patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Aside from this palace, being with Chang Yu is the safest place. He will be the emperor in the future. It is always good to go out and experience the world. Besides, you can't I agreed..." As he spoke, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "There are countless people in the world who want to kill Chang Yu, just like there are people who want to harm our family. It would be best if we could kill two birds with one stone."
"Your Majesty, do you mean that they harmed my child because of personal grudges or because they killed someone with a borrowed knife?"
"It's also possible that they simply don't care about our family." Emperor Chongzhen kept sneering: "Seeing that we are about to die, who would have thought that we would be able to survive all of a sudden. They are very disappointed and sad."
"The people you are talking about are..." Queen Zhou's face became increasingly pale: "Could it be that my father is really involved..."
"No matter what, he would never attack the prince. If he is involved, it could only be because of Chang Yu, but it cannot be ruled out that he leaked the news about the prince leaving the palace. After all, there are many members of your mother's family in this palace. Eyeliner." Emperor Chongzhen knew everything in his heart. Chang Yu arrested so many people at once, perhaps because he had reliable evidence, or he was forced to cast a wide net.
He wanted to muddy the water so he could catch fish, but it wasn't river water, it was his feces that smelled too strong and were full of maggots.
"If he is really involved, then... only my mother will be left alive, and the rest will be killed!" Empress Zhou gritted her teeth and said, and a trace of relief flashed across Emperor Chongzhen's face: "It's all speculation at the moment, how can we still do it?" Wait until Chang Yu comes back and see how he cleans up this mess."
"This...is this a mess?" Queen Zhou was startled.
Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "What do you think? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, who has been so turbulent except Emperor Taizu? He arrested so many relatives and imprisoned him at once. Even if he has irrefutable evidence, he will be criticized and even said to be framed. If there is no evidence, If so...hehe, I don’t even know how he will end up."
Chang Yu didn't know how it would end, because he didn't think about it at all. Of course he knew how much shock it would cause by ordering the arrest of those people, but so what? Anyway, I'm not in the capital now, so no one can bother me. I have the one in the palace to take care of me.
We left Daizhou in the early morning and arrived in Xinxian County at noon two days later. Everyone stopped to eat. Kuang Ren came to ask whether he should continue on his way or reorganize in Xinxian County and leave early tomorrow morning.
Chang Yu was a little confused. The next stop in Xin County was Yangqu County. The two places were only a hundred miles apart, but they were blocked by a mountain range. They had to travel through twenty or thirty miles of mountain roads, and this mountain road was very narrow. The cliffs are also relatively steep.
Chang Yu and others had walked this section of the road twice before, once once.
It would be okay if we marched during the day, but if we walked now, we would be in the mountains when it gets dark!
If it were normal, he wouldn't be afraid.
But right now, a pack of wolves are secretly waiting around, and there are a bunch of civil servants in the team and two precious precious eggs.
This made him have to be careful.
"Since Datong, we haven't seen anything strange along the way. It's because we found suspicious people. I think those thieves retreated as soon as they couldn't hit them. Besides, even if they come, we have nothing to fear. They fight to the death and mobilize more than a hundred people, so it's impossible to kill them." We have nearly a thousand warriors, so it's okay to leave!" Jia Waixiong fearlessly patted his chest and promised to kill as many as he came.
Lao Jiu did not immediately agree, but lowered his head and thought for a moment: "The caravans on the road kept asking about it. Although the terrain here is dangerous, there are usually no thieves because it is close to Yangqu County. If we are just on guard against those rats, there is no need to worry too much. of".
The implication is that you can leave camp if you agree.
At the junction of the two basins, the mountain is steep and narrow and it is the only official road. It is the favorite place for green forest heroes to stay, but why is it so close to Yangqu County that no one cares about it?
The reason is very simple, because this Yangqu County has a big background, or in other words, it is a small place but there are great gods in charge.
First of all, Yangqu County is very close to Taiyuan, only a few dozen miles away. Secondly, the Shanxi Capital Command Department, and the administrative offices of the Shanxi Chengxuan Administration Department are all here!
Walk!
Chang Yu also felt that it was not his style to be too timid, not to mention that there were two battalions and one guard with hundreds of elite cavalry, fast swords and hard bows around him. He would kill as many thieves as they came!
There is a term in later generations called Murphy's Law, which means that whatever you fear will come. When there are more than two choices, one of them will inevitably lead to disaster.
When it got dark, the team entered the mountains. Jia Waixiong led the Black Panther Battalion in the front, Lao Jiu led the Black Wolf Battalion in the rear, and in the middle were nearly a hundred personal guards protecting the prince and princess and Shi Kefa and other civil servants. Kuang Ren ordered the team to light torches in front and behind. It will be completely dark, so even if there are thieves on the mountain roads on both sides who want to sneak attack with strong bows, they will not be able to see clearly where the target is.
There were still businessmen traveling at night on the official road. They wanted to keep company with the officers and soldiers, but they were ordered to stay away because they were worried that thieves would pretend to be businessmen.
It can be said that Chang Yu was fully prepared this time.
However, what is to come will still come.
The army goes first before the food and grass are moved, and the spies go first before the food and grass are moved.
This is the most basic principle of marching.
Jia Waixiong led the Black Wolf Battalion in front, and divided several groups of men and horses to explore the road ahead, one group of three, separated by a few miles.
At the front were two groups of six people, but they were not his subordinates.
Wang Fuchen, the leader of these two groups, was, yes, Wang Jinchao's godson Ma Yaozi.
He was originally a moderate general in the Datong Army, but Wang Jinchao and Yang Zhenwei were equally powerful, so the Datong Army had to give him some face as their godson, not to mention that he was a formidable opponent in his own right. , apart from his excessive gambling habit, he is extremely brave in fighting.
It's just that a few days ago in Datong, Tian Yu beat him up and turned him into a big-head soldier, not to mention a guilty person. At this time, he followed the marching army and was responsible for exploring the road ahead. When leaving Daxi, Wang Jinchao sent four servants to follow him and take care of him. Chang Yu didn't interfere. He had to give Wang Jinchao the face he needed to act as the king.
Wang Fuchen is actually very talented apart from being a bad gambler. He is not only brave in fighting but also quite strategic. Even though he is just a big-shot soldier and is still guilty, he is not disappointed at all but secretly happy!
Because he knew his chance had come!
Lao Jiu, originally a head servant of Jiang Yu, just followed the eunuch for more than half a year and became the commander of the East Factory Guards. Yang Zhenwei, who was originally an inconspicuous general under Jiang Yu, also followed the eunuch and his ancestral graves turned green. He stopped smoking and became the chief military officer of a town!
Am I worse than these two people?
No, no, no, Wang Fuchen has a mysterious self-confidence. In terms of strength and talent, he does not think that he is inferior to Lao Jiu and Yang Zhenwei. The only difference is an opportunity.
Now the opportunity has come.
He vowed to seize it. He knew it was related to his future, his Wang family, oh no, whether the Ma family's ancestral graves could smoke.
So even if he is beaten into a big-headed soldier, and he is still a guilty person who can be killed at any time, others may take the opportunity to escape. If he wants to escape, there will be too many opportunities along the way, but he won't! Whoever escapes will be punished!
Not only did he not run, he also performed extremely hard. Along the way, Wu Mushan and Wu Mushan walked in front of the team with four servants and tried their best to explore the road. At this time, he was unable to play for the Great Eunuch and could only perform on the outside. He looked forward to it. Appreciated by the eunuch!
The opportunity has come!
It was dark at night, and everything was silent. Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan were walking at the front of the team holding torches. They were a few miles away from the large army at the rear. The mountain wind was biting. Several people were riding slowly on their horses with their necks hunched. Suddenly, Wu Mushan frowned and turned his head to look at the hillside to the east.
"What's wrong?" Wang Fuchen asked with raised eyebrows. He knew that Wu Mushan had very good hearing, and also had a special skill. He could listen to the sound of horse hooves hundreds of meters away and identify several horses.
Hush, Wu Mushan made a gesture, and everyone reined in their horses. The surrounding area suddenly fell into silence, but there was a faint... rumbling sound in the distance?
"No!" Wu Mu suddenly turned around and shouted: "Go back, go back!"
