"Your Highness is a rich man. Don't argue with these rats. Wait until you reach Yunyang safely. Once you reach Yunyang, you will be safe."
Zhao Xianzhen, the bodyguard of the eldest princess, was beaten all over by stones. He had just faced off with hundreds of people and was stabbed several times by others. Fortunately, none of them were fatal. At this time, he was leaning on the long knife to hold on with difficulty. He persuaded the eldest princess not to anger the Jin gentry again.
"Xianzhen, stop talking, you are seriously injured."
Liu Yufei leaned over and looked at her guard, tears welling up in her eyes, and she tried not to cry.
Zhao Xianzhen was an orphan taken in by the Supreme Emperor when he suppressed the bandits in the first year of Wuding. He had no name, no surname, no father and no mother. Liu Zhaosun named him Xianzhen, and he served as the guard of the eldest princess since the second year of Taichu.
The ancestor of the pre-Qin Dynasty followed Chong'er, Duke Wen of Jin, and wandered all the way. He assisted Duke Wen of Jin to achieve great success, and made great military exploits for Chong'er to dominate. Liu Zhaosun gave the orphan this name and asked him to assist the eldest princess. The meaning is self-explanatory. .
"You ride in the carriage and take a good rest. I'll ride in front to clear the way."
Zhao Xianzhen said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, how can this be accomplished?"
Liu Yufei stared at Zhao Xianzhen with majestic eyes. The injured guard shuddered. From the princess's eyes, he saw the shadow of the Supreme Emperor.
"Your Highness, there are enemies all around. You should walk in front, in case you are..."
Liu Yufei brought the horse over, ignored the strange looks on the roadside, got on the horse, and looked back at Zhao Xianzhen:
"I want the enemies to see me and let them stand like a thorn in my back! There are still many people who oppose the New Deal in Nanjing. They are hiding in the dark and dare not show up. They are waiting for the next round of Qing Dynasty to come. I want to make these people I know, the eldest princess is still there, and hope is still there."
Jiang Liu'er waved his hand, and more than 200 imperial guard cavalry were guarding the eldest princess on both sides like wings. The cavalrymen held blazing guns in their hands and acted vigilantly to prevent the eldest princess from being beaten to death by the Jin gentry.
Jiang Liu'er's worry was obviously unnecessary. After Liu Yufei's roar just now, all the troublemaking nobles and dandies were frightened by the eldest princess's momentum and retreated one after another.
~~~~~
Kang Guangxu had a complicated expression on his face as he watched the prison vehicles holding the traitors leave Longsheng Pass one by one.
The prison cars came up together, forming a long line, like a black centipede, slowly crawling northward.
When all Lu Xiangsheng's prison cars disappeared on the post road in the distance, Kang Guangxu waved his hand to the soldiers to come forward, whispered a few instructions in the ears of the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately turned and left.
Jiang Liuer was riding on horseback, staring coldly at the scene in front of him, his eyes as sharp as if he wanted to kill Kang Guangxu.
At this moment, three cannon shots rang out in the distance behind him. Kang Guangxu turned around and glanced. A black bear battle flag was coming out of Deshengmen and heading straight towards Longsheng Pass. Behind the battle flag were a group of soldiers, about a hundred or so. Number person.
Kang Guangxu didn't react for a moment. Kang Guangxu's servant came up beside him and carefully explained to the master:
"Sir, he is the battalion officer sent by the emperor to the Fourth Corps."
"Oh, it turns out it's him, no wonder he made such a big fuss." Kang Guangxu nodded meaningfully, "Longsheng Pass is really lively today."
"Isn't that right?" the head servant continued, "Even Commander Deng and Manager Li are here in person, as well as your cousin."
Hearing that Kang Jingxiu also came to see off the camp officer, Kang Guangxu looked disdainful and whispered: "Let a warrior go to Yunyang to die, and he has to put up such a big battle. Our emperor is really polite to his subordinates. .”
The head of the servants said with a girlish smile: "Master, do we also want to say hello to Lin Yingguan? To see him off, word spread in Nanjing that Lin Zhenyu went to Huguang this time, fearing that he would replace Qin Jianxun as the third If the commander of the Fourth Corps can join the Fourth Corps, my future business in Huguang..."
Kang Guangxu shouted loudly: "Shut up!" After saying that, he quickly looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said to his confidant:
"It's full of nonsense! The rumors in the market can be taken seriously! Do you know that Hubei is the territory of General Manager Li and Mao Wendou. When Deng Changxiong's daughter is adopted as a noble concubine, the Holy Emperor will allocate a piece of territory and reward the land.
It is given to the head of the state as a check and balance policy. "
"These rats are more greedy than the others. Let us share whatever we have at that time. Why should I go into this muddy water and let them bite each other? Let's fight for it."
"As for this Lin Zhenyu, don't look at his current glory and let the chief assistant see him off. In fact, he is just a nail in the emperor's hands and of no use. Emperor Guangde used him to test the Fourth Corps this time. If Qin Jianxun is afraid , directly take over the military power, everything is easy to say, if this guy can't stand this nail, follow Pu Gang's example, the court will have a reason to suppress the rebellion, and then the army will press the border, and the result will be similar to Liaodong."
Kang Guangxu came to the end and concluded: "Why should I associate with such a disposable nail?"
The head of the servant showed a sudden realization, stretched out his thumb and said: "I admire your foresight, I admire you, I admire you!"
He looked at the noisy ceremonial guards over there and said bitterly:
"Sir, this Siyuan's father was a popular figure around the Supreme Emperor at that time. Zhennan Hou Linyu... These Qiu Ba people used to show off their power in the Supreme Emperor's dynasty and rode on the heads of our Kang family to shit and urinate, which caused the master to You were assigned to Ninggu Pagoda. If it weren't for the current saint's wisdom and martial arts, who can clearly distinguish between pure and dirty, where would the Kang family be today? Now in the Guangde Dynasty, these warriors don't know how to restrain themselves, they are still so arrogant! Master, look back. I would like you to send me a letter to advise the Holy One..."
Kang Guangxu nodded and said with a smile: "Impeachment is of course an impeachment. Daqi governs the country with civility, and martial arts should be managed by civilian officials. Otherwise, there may be trouble with the Qing emperor. Just like Jiang Liu'er, he was originally a refugee. If he hadn't been the emperor at that time, Shenyang had long since starved to death in Shenyang. Now she was lucky enough to succeed as a dragon, so she thought she was a member of the Holy One. How dare you talk to me like that just now, but in fact he is just a..."
Kang Guangxu shook his head and muttered to himself on his horse, not paying attention to Jiang Liu'er riding past him.
Jiang Liu'er heard these words clearly, reined in the reins and stared at Kang Guangxu.
"Shilang Kang, who did you say I am just now?"
Kang Guangxu knew that he was wrong, so he hesitated and was speechless.
If there are still warriors in Da Qi Dynasty who Kang Shilang cannot afford to offend, Jiang Liu'er, who is riding a horse in front of him, is one of them.
"Commander Jiang, why did you protect the criminal Lu Xiangsheng at Longsheng Pass just now? Could it be that you received benefits from this thief?"
Jiang Liu'er held a short blunderbuss, and without even looking at Kang Guangxu, he faced each other and said:
"I just saw that Minister Kang wanted to kill the imperial prisoner. What was the reason? Could it be that he wanted to kill someone and silence him?"
"You..." Kang Guangxu raised his finger and gestured in the air, and saw Jiang Liu'er looking at him like he was looking at a dead person.
"You, what do you want?"
Kang Guangxu put down his raised fingers and tried to pretend to be calm, but the eyes he looked at Jiang Liu'er were full of fear and anxiety.
All the soldiers retreated one after another. The conversation between the two bosses was obviously not something they could listen to.
"Jiang Liu'er, you won't forget how the tiger you raised died, right?"
Jiang Liu'er rode his horse slowly, turning a deaf ear to the scolding behind him, until he heard the word "tiger" and suddenly lifted the reins, his horse snoring and restless.
Without saying a word, Jiang Liu'er jumped off the horse and rushed to Kang Guangxu's side. Before the other party could react, he grabbed Kang Guangxu's throat with one hand and lifted Kang Guangxu up.
Kang Guangxu's soldiers and servants were standing far away, and the two of them were blocked by horses, so no one saw what was going on here.
"You heard clearly, I am not a refugee. I grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. You should accumulate more virtue. If it weren't for your father's protection, you would have died countless times."
After that, he threw Kang Guangxu to the ground, got on his horse, and ran towards Nanjing City. A group of cavalry roared behind him, sweeping across the post road like a whirlwind.
Kang Guangxu covered his neck and gasped for air, his face and body covered with dust.
The head servant arrived late, and seeing the master's embarrassed state, he quickly asked what was going on. Kang Guangxu picked up his riding whip and was about to whip the servant. Suddenly he pointed the tip of the whip at the flying smoke in the distance and said angrily:
"Okay! Okay! Okay
, Jiang Liuer, I will remember you, the thing with the head and the two ends of the rat! You are eating Emperor Guangde's royal food and flirting with rebellion. Don't think that just because you are in charge of the Guards, I can't bring you down! "
The dust disappears into the earth.
Lin Zhenyu broke through the smoke and came slowly on horseback. Seeing Kang Guangxu still waiting under the horse, his face covered with smoke and dust, he guessed that Master Kang had been waiting for a long time, so he quickly got off his horse, bowed and saluted:
"I don't know if Master Kang has been waiting here for a long time. I will feel ashamed in the end."
