"General, we will reach Bingshui in fifteen miles ahead. Do we want to take a rest and reorganize?" A soldier came up and asked Wan Qike'er and Yang Bing.
"Well, let's rest for a while. Brothers are all tired." Wan Qike'er ordered to rest on the spot, and the team of several hundred people dispersed on the official road.
Yang Bing also dismounted. He had been thinking about what Zhang Yi said about Tongtian Pass. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason for the general of the dynasty was not a casual accusation.
But for Zhang Yi, Yang Bingyi still couldn't tell whether what the other party said was true or false, but one thing that was certain was that Zhang Yi was a relatively extreme person. From the conversation, Yang Bing at least understood that Zhang Yi was A person who cares about the Ming Dynasty can easily go astray. He unabashedly said in front of Yang Bing that the prince could not rule the country, which showed that he had treason.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Wan Qike'er came over with a water bag and handed it to Yang Bing.
Yang Bing took the water bag and drank some water: "Tell me, if someone thinks that the current prince cannot be in charge of the country and rebels against the prince, but his original intention is to continue the Ming Dynasty, do you think he is a sinner or a loyal minister?"
After hearing this, Wan Qike'er quickly covered Yang Bing's mouth: "You are crazy! Don't worry about saying this!"
Yang Bing pulled Wan Qike'er's hand away: "Yesterday, Zhang Yi told me his thoughts."
"what?"
"He felt that the prince was too benevolent and could not sit on the throne of the emperor. He wanted me to assist the imperial concubine with him, but the imperial concubine is a woman. How could the Ming Dynasty allow a woman to succeed?" Yang Bing recognized Zhang Yi from the bottom of his heart. But I don’t want to let the people in the world suffer because of that position.
"I think, as ministers, we should share the worries of Ming Dynasty and His Majesty. Since the Crown Prince and His Majesty value you now, then I think you can't live up to the Crown Prince's trust. Although His Highness the Crown Prince does lack decisiveness, it is still better than a ruthless person. Let the merciless crown prince ascend the throne." Wan Qi Keer's words inspired Yang Bing.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about this anymore." Yang Bing looked around and said in a deep voice, "Did you notice that a distinguished guest has already arrived?"
Although Wan Qi Ker'er is not good at strategy, he has developed keen senses after fighting on the battlefield for so many years: "Humph, there is more than one family."
In a bamboo forest not far away, Zhang Yi squatted on the ground and watched with interest an insect on the ground slowly squirming. The guard behind him came over and reported: "Master, Yang Bing and the others are resting. Outside, there is a group of unidentified people ambushing us."
"Well, are there only these two groups?" Zhang Yi threw away the branch in his hand and stood up.
"There is also Song Qiyuan, the new commander of the Jinyi Guards, who is in front of us with two hundred Jinyi Guards."
Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Song Qiyuan, is this pretty boy the new commander?"
"Yes, sir, he just took office three days ago."
Zhang Yi straightened his clothes: "Let's go and talk to Commander Song."
On the outside of the bamboo forest near the official road, two hundred Jinyi guards wearing flying fish uniforms and holding embroidered spring knives were here. They were not considered an ambush. They were resting on both sides of the official road just like Yang Bing and his party.
The leader is the newly appointed commander of the Jinyi Guards, Song Qiyuan. As Zhang Yi said, Song Qiyuan's face is frighteningly pale, so there are rumors in the capital that he would rather mess with Bai Wuchang than Song Qiyuan. .
"Sir, Young Master Zhang is here."
"I know, please." There was no expression on Song Qiyuan's face, and her snow-white complexion couldn't help but make people feel fearful.
"Hahaha, Commander Song has been promoted. I, Zhang, did not come to congratulate me. I really deserve death." Zhang Yi seemed to know Song Qiyuan very well. He walked over and put his arm around Song Qiyuan's shoulders.
In fact, Zhang Yi can't stand Song Qiyuan, because he is too upright and fair, and his pale face has always left Zhang Yi with a psychological shadow, but Song Qiyuan is the one he must win over. , he, Noctua, can only sacrifice once.
"Why did Young Master Zhang come here today?" Song Qiyuan didn't give Zhang Yi any respect at all. He threw away Zhang Yi's hand and asked with a serious expression. What he despised most in his heart was a dandy like Zhang Yi. .
Zhang Yi was not angry because Song Qiyuan didn't give him face. On the contrary, he continued to say with a smile: "Why did I come here? Didn't Commander Song knowingly ask questions?"
"It's good that Young Master Zhang knows. Please don't disturb us, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Song Qiyuan's tone was still cold. After speaking, she pointed to the embroidered spring knife in her hand, and her meaning was obvious: "You will be here later." If you dare to cause trouble, I will chop you with a knife."
"Presumptuous, why are you talking to my young master!" the guard following Zhang Yi shouted loudly.
"Shut up! You have no business talking!" Zhang Yi suddenly scolded the guard.
"Commander Song, Your Majesty has sent you to escort General Yang. It seems that Your Majesty really values General Yang." Zhang Yi looked for a topic and wanted to talk to Song Qiyuan, but Song Qiyuan didn't give him anything. To save face, he looked ahead coldly without saying a word.
After Yang Bing and the others rested for a long time, they continued on their way. Not long after they walked, Yang Bing felt a series of rustling sounds coming from the dense forest around him, and wondered whether he was finally going to take action.
Yang Bing and Wan Qi Ke'er looked at each other, and the two of them went to the two ends of the team. Wan Qi Ke'er walked at the front of the team, holding the iron gun tightly in his hand, and Yang Bing also wore the gun in the other hand. An arm gun for her.
Yang Bing came to the back of the team, put the saber on his waist in front of him, and held the trigger of the arm gun tightly with his right hand.
As soon as they entered the bamboo forest, dozens of arrows suddenly shot out from both sides of the official road. As if they were prepared, the soldiers quickly took out their shields from the carriage to block them.
Behind the arrow feathers, about a thousand knife-wielding men wearing masked clothes rushed out, and the two sides immediately fought together.
Although he was mentally prepared, Yang Bing did not expect that there were so many people. He kept waving the sword in his hand. After such a long period of recovery training, Yang Bing was no longer the weak and handsome young master he used to be. Every time he waved his hand, If you use the long knife, a person will fall in a pool of blood.
Seeing that his five hundred people were about to be unable to withstand it, Yang Bing took out a firework from his arms and pulled it towards the sky.
After a while, the official road in the distance was filled with dust. As the distance got closer, the black-armored guards came in full gear. Li Wuyang took the lead and rushed forward, the three-edged thorn in his hand constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy.
The heavy armored soldiers behind wielded heavy swords, and the enemies were cut off one by one. Several people were frightened by the sight in front of them, and turned around and fled into the bamboo forest. As a result, before they could take a few steps, a flying arrow penetrated his chest. chest.
"Retreat!" One of the people who seemed to be the leader shouted, and the rest began to flee into the bamboo forest. Yang Bing did not order the pursuit.
"Don't chase the poor bandits, and hurry up as soon as possible. It will be safe when we reach Bingshui." Yang Bing knew that this was just a test. Lin Feng was not that stupid, so he sent a group of rioters to kidnap him.
"Yes, General, you are wise. I knew they would ambush here." Li Wu came over and said respectfully.
Yang Bing had looked at the map along the way a few days ago. Before Li Wu and the others went to Bingshui, Yang Bing had arranged everything for them to ambush here and wait for his signal. After all, this was all the way. This is the most suitable place for an ambush. There are dense jungles on both sides of this section of the official road. Once you pass this forest, the road behind is flat.
"There are no casualties, brothers?" Yang Bing was very worried about the loss of the black armored guards he had just trained. After all, everyone invested a lot of money.
"Don't worry about this. He's a thief. If we still can't deal with him, all the long training will be in vain." Li Wu said, patting his chest.
"Ah!" Suddenly a scream came from the bamboo forest, and then the leader of the thieves was seen stumbling back, holding his severed left arm.
Behind them were Song Qiyuan and his party. The Xiuchun knife in Song Qiyuan's hand was still dripping with blood.
When the black-armored guards saw another group of people coming, they all showed their weapons and looked at each other warily. Yang Bing quickly stopped them: "Don't be nervous."
Although he had never met Song Qiyuan, Yang Bing still recognized the Feiyu suit and the embroidered spring knife.
"My lord, Yang Bing, what do you call me?" Yang Bing asked, sitting on the horse with his fists clasped.
Wan Qi Ke'er also came to Yang Bing's side at this time and looked at Song Qi Yuan cautiously.
"Song Qiyuan, Commander of the Jinyi Guards, is here to escort General Yang and General Wanqi to Bingshui City on His Majesty's orders." Although Song Qiyuan looked down on Yang Bing, who was a former dandy, he still respected the emperor's orders. He introduced himself.
"Thank you!" Yang Bing said and looked at the thief who was already lying on the ground: "Commander Song, can I deal with this person?"
For such a nobody, Song Qiyuan naturally had no intention of caring about him: "It's up to General Yang to decide."
After Song Qiyuan finished speaking, he and the Jin Yiwei dispersed into the motorcade, while he walked at the end of the team, waiting for Yang Bing to finish the matter.
Yang Bing looked at the thief on the ground, took out a piece of white cloth from his waist and threw it to him: "General, I will leave you alive. Go back and tell your master. If you have any other tricks in the future, I will take them. It's best." He will kill me on the way, otherwise he will be beheaded when I come back from Tongtian Pass!"
After Yang Bing finished speaking, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and walked towards the team. The entire team continued towards the water.
The thief was left struggling to bandage his wounds.
"Tsk tsk tsk, why bother? For a little money, I lost so many people and even lost an arm." Zhang Yi's voice came from behind him. He had been hiding not far away just now and watching everything that happened in front of him. , and did not show up.
"Who are you!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I just came to watch the excitement. By the way, you can also tell your master when you go back. Think carefully before doing anything. Don't think that he can do whatever he wants just because he has raised some savages outside." After Zhang Yi finished speaking, Dozens of guards also emerged from the bamboo forest and surrounded him.
"Go back to Kyoto, take him with you, and throw him to the city gate."
"yes."
