"Who are you! What are you doing here?" A man from the indigenous tribe led by them stared at Yang Bing and the others cautiously, not only at the people, but also at the rabbit in Yang Bing's hand.
Yang Bing looked the other man up and down. The man was wearing clothes made of animal skins. He was tall, with a hunting knife on his waist, and a bow almost as tall as a man on his back.
"We are refugees on the run. We just caught a few rabbits to fill our stomachs. There is no other meaning." Yang Bing took out a rabbit and slowly put it on the ground: "This rabbit is for you. ”
Yang Bing stepped back cautiously as he spoke, and the people behind him also walked cautiously towards the back. Yang Bing did not want to conflict with the other party. After all, he was a refugee, and he would definitely be the one to suffer if he took action.
The indigenous man picked up the rabbit on the ground suspiciously: "Stop!" After saying that, he threw the rabbit back at Yang Bing's feet.
Then he pulled out the hunting knife from his waist: "We, the Ke people, never accept charity!" After saying this, the man rushed towards Yang Bing with the hunting knife in hand.
"Holy shit, you're sick!" Yang Bing dodged and avoided the incoming machete, and pulled out a three-edged thorn from his waist.
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Yan was still waiting for news about Yang Bing in the checkpoint. A soldier came over and reported: "Report to the general, the people we sent into the mountain were beaten back by the natives in the mountain, and many brothers were injured. "
Lin Yan frowned: "A group of natives defeated a group of well-equipped soldiers. Are you a bunch of trash?"
The soldier replied in fear: "Back to the general, those natives are familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and the bows and arrows in their hands are very powerful. Two of our brothers were shot by their arrows, and one arrow shot through two people."
"Hmph! If you can't do something well, don't make excuses. Do you think that if you just make up an excuse, I won't let you find it? The largest bow and arrow made by the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty can only shoot more than a hundred steps. If you want to It's impossible to shoot through a man wearing armor. Are the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty worse than a group of natives?" Lin Yan naturally didn't believe the soldiers' excuses.
The soldier immediately knelt on the ground: "General, I really don't dare to lie. If the general doesn't believe it, you can take a look at the bodies of our brothers."
Lin Yan turned around and looked at the soldier kneeling on the ground coldly: "You'd better tell the truth!"
"Absolutely true!"
Later, under the leadership of the soldiers, Lin Yan saw the two poor soldiers who were shot through by an arrow feather.
Lin Yan walked over and took a closer look. He saw that the arrow was much longer than ordinary arrows and had a harder texture. He couldn't help but be shocked.
But then he thought about it, and Lin Yan had a smile on his lips.
"Everyone, follow me into the mountains!" Lin Yan did not hesitate, jumped on his horse and led a group of elite soldiers into the mountains.
After Lin Yan saw that this arrow could really shoot through two people, he thought about taking it for himself. After all, even the most powerful craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty could not make such a powerful bow and arrow. Lin Yan wanted to get this How to make bows and arrows.
In the East Palace, Prince Zhu Di looked at the letter in his hand. There was a man kneeling in front of him. This man was holding a petition letter in his hand, with a very firm expression on his face.
The second prince looked on and sighed from time to time.
The person kneeling on the ground was Luo Wen. He walked out of Kyoto the day before and wanted to go back to the military camp to pack his things, but he was taken back to the East Palace by the second prince on the way.
Prince Zhu Di locked Luo Wen in the East Palace for a whole night. When he was released this morning, Luo Wen had a petition letter in his hand to attack Lin Ziren.
Luo Wen also understood the intentions of the crown prince and the second prince, but he still wanted to go to the border to find Yang Bing's whereabouts in person. After all, Wan Qi Kerr had not seen Yang Bing's body, and Luo Wen thought Yang Bing was not dead yet.
"Your Highness, I request you to go to the border to support the fourth prince in the crusade against Lin Ziren!" Luo Wen would say this every hour.
Zhu Di chuckled and put down the letter in his hand: "Luo Wen, I don't want Yang Bing to die as much as you do, but the current situation is that Kyoto is far more dangerous than Tongtian Pass, and anyone can move it, but you are the only one You can’t move, do you understand?”
The second prince on the side stood up and walked to Luo Wen to help him: "The prince is right. At this time, no one related to Yang Bing can act rashly. Once you move and go to Tongtian Pass, then Kyoto The Yang family and Wanqi family will have less strength, and Lin Feng will take advantage of it."
"But the war at Tongtian Pass is very important. If Tongtian Pass is lost, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be in danger?" Luo Wen stood up and was still confused.
Zhu Di looked at Luo Wen and said with a smile: "Don't worry, on the night when Ke'er came back, I had already reported to the emperor, sent a secret message overnight, and mobilized a hundred thousand troops to rush to Tongtian Pass."
Luo Wen was dumbfounded, thinking that all the troops from Kyoto were there, and where did the 100,000-strong army appear from?
Zhu Di noticed Luo Wen's confusion and explained, "Have you forgotten, the Sixth Prince?"
When Luo Wen heard this, he suddenly understood, and the tense expression on his face relaxed a lot.
Yes, the Ming Dynasty also has a sixth prince who is good at fighting. This sixth prince is the youngest among the princes, but he is indeed the best at leading troops and fighting.
He joined the army at the age of fourteen and made countless military exploits in two years. However, for some reason, he almost disappeared after he turned sixteen. There was no news about the sixth prince in Kyoto or even the imperial palace.
The most common rumor outside was that the Sixth Prince was squeezed out of the palace by several other brothers and stayed away from Kyoto.
But in fact, only the royal family knew where the sixth prince had gone.
Just when Luo Wen was still thinking about what happened and the details, a eunuch walked in from outside with a decree in his hand.
When Zhu Di saw the eunuch coming in, he said to Luo Wen, "Luo Wen is listening."
Luo Wen reacted and glanced at the imperial edict and the prince standing in front of him. He didn't know what to do, but the second prince on the side reminded him: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Kneel down to accept the edict."
"Oh." Luo Wen reacted and knelt down quickly.
Zhu Di continued: "I requested a decree from the Holy One and ordered Luo Wen, the deputy general of the Tiger Banner Camp, to be removed from his position as a general and demoted to a commoner. He will not be allowed to join the Ming army again in this life."
When Luo Wen heard this, he didn't feel bad, but he was more confused. He thought, was this an imperial edict? Do I still need the Holy Spirit’s approval to dismiss one of my lieutenants?
The prince looked at Luo Wen's reaction and then continued to read: "I will order Luo Wen, the former deputy general of the Tiger Banner Battalion, to be the commander of the Anbu and also in charge of the black armored guards. His official position will be from the fourth rank, directly to General Yang Bing of the Leaping Cavalry!" When the prince said Yang Bing's name, his tone was obviously a little disappointed.
This appointment was made by Yang Bing and Prince Zhu Di before leaving Kyoto in order to establish a real intelligence department. Although the Ming Dynasty already had Jin Yiwei, in Yang Bing's eyes, the methods of gathering intelligence in this era were still very backward. of.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was also disappointed with Jin Yiwei. In recent years, Jin Yiwei gradually stopped performing his duties. Instead, he relied on his imperial power to squeeze profits everywhere, blinding the royal family's sight. So when Zhu Yuanzhang heard this request , agreed without much thought, and did not ask for personal control. Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted Zhu Di to establish his own intelligence department.
Luo Wen was stunned, and it took him a moment to react: "Your Majesty, I accept the order to thank you!"
Luo Wen couldn't tell whether he was moved or shocked at the moment. He was moved that Yang Bing asked for such a big official position for him. He was shocked that Yang Bing had already arranged the formation of the ANBU. Luo Wen thought that Yang Bing wanted to The establishment of the ANBU was just a temporary idea that day after accepting Shan Qin and Shan Lu.
"Okay, get up." Zhu Di collected the imperial edict and handed it to Luo Wen personally.
Luo Wen stood up and respectfully issued the imperial edict: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me."
Luo Wen's words were talking about his reckless behavior in the past two days. If it had been another person, he would have been chopped down in front of the Lin Mansion.
"No need to thank me. From now on, you just need to do your job well and establish the ANBU. This is what your young master told me before leaving Kyoto. He asked you to be the commander by name. ." The prince now felt relieved after seeing Luo Wen's attitude. He was also afraid that Luo Wen would be impulsive that day and kill the Lin Mansion alone to settle accounts with Lin Feng. In that case, he might not really know what to do. How to do it.
Although he has a list in his hand, the people in it are of great importance. If anyone is touched, many problems will be involved. Moreover, the war at Tongtian Pass is still urgent, so Zhu Di can only wait for the sixth and fourth brothers to be able to Return in triumph, and then deal with the Lin family and those traitorous gangsters.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry, I will definitely live up to the Crown Prince and His Majesty's hard work!"
"Let's go, I will take you to the place prepared for you. During this time, you should stop wandering around Kyoto and concentrate on establishing the Anbu." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he picked up a volume from the desk: "This is I have read the ANBU training methods written by Yang Bing, they are very sophisticated, you must learn them carefully."
Luo Wen took it carefully, and then followed the prince and the second prince out of the East Palace.
At this moment, Lin Feng came to a house in Lin Mansion. As soon as he entered, Lin Feng could not control the lustful smile on his face.
Just now, Lin Feng was still angry. Yesterday, the second prince asked him to kneel down and reply, and Shuang'er brought him good news.
This morning Ziyun went out to the street alone to buy some necessities for the Yang family. The news that Yang Bing's life and death were unknown has not yet been sent back to the Yang family, so Ziyun did not know the news.
It's fun to walk on the street.
"Boss, do you still have Biluochun at home? My master asked to drink your Biluochun." Ziyun came to the tea shop where Mr. Yang bought tea.
"Miss Ziyun is here again. The prime minister's tea has been prepared a long time ago. You sit down and have a sip of tea first, and I will get it for you." The tea shop owner was very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Ziyun was a little uncomfortable. After all, In the past, when I came to buy tea by myself, the shopkeeper would always ignore me, but today he made tea for me personally.
But doubts were doubts, Ziyun was just a maid after all, and didn't have that much thought. When she saw that the tea brewed for her by the shopkeeper was also Biluochun, she immediately tasted it. How could she have the chance to drink such precious tea.
Soon after drinking two cups of tea, Ziyun felt that her head was a little heavy, and her eyelids couldn't help but want to close. Just when she was about to lose control, Ziyun saw the tea shop owner coming over.
"Miss Ziyun, don't blame me, that's Mr. Lin, I can't afford to offend him."
Ziyun then lost consciousness.
