After all, the emperor is going out, so the accompanying guards are naturally not too weak.
If you are participating in various sacrifices in the capital, it is usually enough to have only 200 Longjing Lieutenants on duty as guards.
And like now, when the emperor goes to other places for business.
Not only will a whole squad of three hundred dragon guards accompany them, but the Beijing camp will also send a thousand-household unit to follow.
When passing through various places, the guard station in the jurisdiction must also send at least one person from the Qianhu Station.
When the emperor passed by, they followed him at a distance until they were escorted out of their jurisdiction.
Taken together, there are more than 2,000 people.
However, the guardsmen were at the back of the team, at least four or five miles away.
As for Yujia, there were only three hundred imperial guards and one thousand imperial guards around him.
Among them, most of the Long Jinwei were descendants of aristocratic families like Jia Rong, and they were just showing off their respectability by following the emperor.
To be honest, most of them are just fake goods.
There is definitely nothing wrong with ordinary people making trouble.
Once you encounter an organized enemy, it's completely unsatisfactory.
No, luckily there are still people from Jingying.
As soon as the opponent's troops appeared, the Beijing camp took the lead in forming a formation to meet the enemy.
As for the Dragon Guard...
If the emperor hadn't been there, he would have dispersed long ago.
Fortunately, the Jingying camp was blocking the front, so Long Jinwei protected Yu Jia and took the first step.
Most of the civil and military officials who followed him had been intercepted and scattered outside the formation.
When many people see something is wrong, their first choice is to turn around.
Because there are guardsmen following behind.
Only the real dignitaries, who were not far from the emperor, were protected together in the military formation.
After all, Feng Yibo is also a hereditary second-class Zhenhai general, so he is naturally not far from Yu Jia.
These dignitaries were afraid that they would be left behind, so they all gathered around the imperial chariot.
He was the only one who had experienced battles, so he didn't feel any panic.
Feng Yibo first asked Dabo to find Daping so that he could meet up with Baochai, Li Mengshi and others.
He himself held a gun in one hand and a grenade on his waist.
He climbed to the roof of the car in a few steps and looked at the situation in front of the battle.
He frowned and looked at it, but his heart was full of doubts.
It was obviously inland, so where did the thieves come from to attack the emperor's vehicle?
These people came roaring in and looked clearly well-trained.
Not only are they riding horses, but they also have long weapons in their hands.
Although there is no armor stomach, he is still a serious cavalry!
Thinking of this, a ridiculous idea emerged from his mind.
The Xianling Tomb is located in Xiaoci County, which is more than ten days' journey from the capital.
Although it is directly under the jurisdiction of Duzhong and belongs to Daming Prefecture, it is located close to Shandong.
Could it be that... they are horse bandits from the two Shandong provinces?
But why did the horse bandits dare to attack the officers and soldiers with full armor and stomach?
Are you here to die?
If they were really horse bandits from Shandong, what would be the consequences of what they did.
The most likely possibility is that the court will regard it as a serious problem!
No matter whether they succeed in the end or not, they will face the crazy encirclement and suppression by the army.
This is why Feng Yibo feels ridiculous.
Do you really think you can become emperor by killing the emperor?
But apart from that, he really couldn't imagine where there would be such a group of people.
There were at least a thousand of these people, and they were definitely well-trained.
Maybe even battle-hardened!
This can be seen just from the fact that they were shot by the Beijing camp and missed, but their formation was not messed up at all.
Even the Jingying camp didn't have time to fire the second round of arrows, and was directly overwhelmed by the formation.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was not keen on fighting, they would be separated from Jingying at the first touch.
Two more rounds of charges, and the Beijing camp will probably collapse.
After they rushed once, they immediately chased in the direction where Emperor Jingshun escaped.
Feng Yibo knew that things were not that simple!
joke!
You can tell by looking at the other party's posture that this is definitely not a chance encounter.
It was an organized and premeditated assassination!
At this time, Dabo and Daping finally returned with the Feng family daughter Juan.
Li Mengshi, Baochai, and Lao Niang You are all there, as well as the maids and women who serve them.
Together with a few of the attendants who were driving the carriage, there were more than ten people.
Their car was not far from Feng Yibo's side, only a dozen meters apart.
They just heard the loud shouts of killing outside, and several people were at a loss.
As soon as he received the message from Da Bo, he hurriedly abandoned the car and walked over directly.
Don't look at it, it's only a short dozen meters.
At this time, there was a chaos outside, and the carriages and horses were all gathering towards the imperial driver.
Their car couldn't drive over at all, so they had to stay where they were.
Feng Yibo jumped off the carriage and ordered:
"Dabo Daping, you guys get the car over first!"
He raised his hand and pointed, but it was not in the direction of the flow of people.
But to the west.
Since the opponent's goal is clear, then approaching the emperor again is courting death.
He planned to let his daughter leave the battlefield first before talking about anything else.
The flow of people was chaotic and crowded, and there were panicked figures everywhere.
All the officials and family officials were running around like headless flies.
Most people's first reaction is to go north, which is the way back to the capital.
Dabo and Daping, with several long followers, were trying to drive the car out of the way.
Feng Yibo took advantage of this opportunity and led everyone to the roadside to wait.
All the girls were frightened just now, especially the little girls who were already wiping away tears.
Li Mengshi, Baochai and You Lao Niang also looked shocked.
"Don't be afraid, you see, these thieves have no intention of attacking the official documents."
Feng Yibo first comforted him and then told Baochai:
"There is no road here. You should walk for a while first and then get on the bus when it is smoother."
Seeing Baochai nodding, he didn't wait for her reply.
Feng Yibo said to the sad-looking Li Meng again:
"Master's Wife, you go to Daming Mansion's city and wait for me first. I will go find my mentor and meet you."
Li Mengshi was indeed worried about Li Shouzhong, but after hearing this, he still shook his head and said:
"I should be leaving with the Holy Master. I think everything will be fine. Yibo, you'd better leave with us."
She thought that it would be safer if the emperor had a guard by his side at this time.
But just because Li Shouzhong might have left with the emperor, Feng Yibo was even more worried about his mentor's safety.
But he didn't explain too much to Li Mengshi, he only said:
"I'll go faster on horseback. I'll go look for you first. If I don't find you, I'll chase you."
Judging from his last experience at Tienwang Mountain, Emperor Jingshun could also ride a horse, and he was very fast.
A veteran like Li Shouzhong may only be able to attract the enemy's attention from behind.
So he felt that there was still a high chance that he could find it.
Even if he couldn't find it, as long as he didn't get close to the emperor's chariot, he shouldn't be in too much danger.
Before Li Mengshi could say anything else, Dabo and the others had already driven the car off the road.
This place is full of rugged areas, and the carriage will definitely not be able to accommodate people, but it can still barely move if it is empty.
If we didn't leave a car, Li Meng and the others wouldn't be able to go very far given their bodies.
When Feng Yibo saw that he could leave, he warned again:
"Da Bo, Da Ping, you guys escort the old lady that way. Once you are out of danger here, you will go to Daming Mansion with others."
"Yes!" The two of them responded hurriedly.
After saying that, he said to Baochai, who was worried but could not say it out loud:
"I'm going to find my mentor. If I don't catch up with you, we'll meet up in the city of Daming Mansion. The magistrate of Daming Mansion is also a disciple of my mentor. If you reveal your identity, he will make arrangements for you."
Seeing that Baochai still looked worried, Feng Yibo smiled, touched her face, and said softly:
"Madam, take good care of Master Niang and Mrs. You. I will do what I can."
Baochai understood Feng Yibo's temperament and always spoke the truth on such important matters.
At this time, I could only sigh softly and said:
"Master! You must be careful, we are waiting for you!"
"Do not worry!"
Feng Yibo smiled and nodded, turned around and drove towards Baochai's car.
He first took out the stirrup and whip from the cart, and then untied the horse from the cart.
After adjusting the saddle, he got on the horse with one leg and followed the flow of people to the north.
There are things a real man does and things he doesn't do.
He can care about the emperor, but he cannot abandon his relatives.
Lin Ruhai is still behind, so there should be no problem with safety.
But as Li Shouzhong was the Minister of Rites, he should have been taken along with him and fled north when something happened.
If you fall behind and are caught up by thieves, it will be very dangerous.
"Escort! Hurry, escort!"
"Kill!"
"Boys, follow me and charge!"
The Beijing camp here was still trying to regroup, trying to hold back the thieves, and the shouts of killing continued for a while.
All the capable soldiers were left behind, but Long Jinwei ran very fast.
This made Feng Yibo feel a little worried.
It is really a bit sad that the elite of the Beijing camp are wasted here.
However, he is also worried now, but he can't care about this anymore.
Even with muskets and grenades, it would be difficult to protect yourself if you were really caught in a battle.
The most he could do was to die with a dozen people.
Feng Yibo walked and searched like this, but there was no trace of Li Shouzhong.
Along the way, I met some familiar Guan Juan. When I saw him, I shouted:
"Yibo! Come here quickly!"
"So, aunts and sisters-in-law, have you seen my mentor?"
The women of Rongning's second house are Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You.
There are also a few people Feng Yibo has never seen before. They should be old relatives of the Jia family and people from other families.
One of them looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"We came all the way. Everyone we know is gathered here. My father-in-law should be with Shengjia, so there is no need to worry."
Mrs. Wang shook her head and introduced him:
"This is the decree of Princess Beijing and several family friends. Since we have met, why don't Yibo come with us!"
They were so frightened that when they saw someone they knew, they wanted to invite them to go with them.
Especially for the juniors who are familiar with it, many things are more convenient.
"These thieves seem to have a clear purpose. I think you should change the direction, otherwise you may be caught up by the thieves."
Unfortunately, Feng Yibo did not respond, but said again:
"I arranged for my master's wife and my wife to go to Daming Mansion. If aunt believes in me, it's best to leave this road."
As he spoke, he pointed to the west.
If they believe his words, they can bring news to Shi Niang and Baochai.
"Everyone, I'm going to find my mentor first!"
After Feng Yibo finished speaking, he resigned and continued to search for Li Shouzhong.
All the female scrolls looked at his back thoughtfully, and Youshi was the first to speak:
"Auntie, I think Yibo is right. Those thieves should be for... we'd better avoid them."
In fact, they were in a hurry and followed the flow of people to the north.
At this time, many people reacted when they heard Feng Yibo say that the thief had a clear target.
Obviously, this target refers to Emperor Jingshun.
Youshi couldn't explain it clearly, but everyone present understood it.
Immediately, after everyone discussed it, they also turned west and went to Daming Mansion.
Feng Yibo is still heading north.
But the farther we walked, the fewer and fewer people were on the road.
Or most of them reacted and fled.
Or they are still being carried, and they are all in the team accompanying the driver in front.
Fortunately, after there were fewer people, although there were fewer inquiries, the horses were able to run away.
But along the way I occasionally met people asking about it, but there was still no news about Li Shouzhong.
The most likely possibility now is that he is still with the emperor.
After chasing him north for a while, Feng Yibo was hesitating to give up the search when he unexpectedly saw the Long Jinwei team in front of him.
But this was not what he was trying to catch up with.
Instead, Lieutenant Long was stopped by a thief!
Feng Yibo did not rush over impulsively, he just stopped and watched the opponent's battle from a distance.
I saw that although most of the Long Jinwei were from aristocratic families, there were some who were somewhat capable.
Unfortunately, the bravery of a few people cannot determine the outcome of the battle.
No matter how good your kung fu is, you are not invulnerable.
Seeing the intercepting thieves circling around, Long Jinwei was trapped in place, unable to move.
Feng Yibo sighed secretly.
If there were no reinforcements, Emperor Jingshun would be in trouble this time!
I just don’t know if those thieves will attack my mentor and veterans.
While he was watching from a distance, he was worried.
A group of people came roaring from behind.
Feng Yibo looked back and felt a little disappointed.
Obviously, these were thieves who had just broken away from the Beijing camp and came to reinforce them.
Encountering passers-by along the way, some of them casually shot him.
Those who didn't kill didn't bother to touch up.
Seeing this situation, Feng Yibo quickly turned his horse's head and tried to avoid the woods on the roadside.
But when one of the thieves saw him, he got excited and rushed towards him.
The forest was close in front of him, but the bloody gun tip was also behind him.
Feng Yibo's hair stood up and he was about to turn over and dismount.
A fall would break bones and tendons, but a stabbing would cause cold pain.
But at this time, someone among the thieves stretched out his gun again and flicked the man's gun tip.
"Snapped!"
Feng Yibo had a brush with death, and a group of thieves also passed by him.
"Don't kill this man!"
When the two sides passed each other, he was listening to the man who saved him say something.
The person passed by, but the voice was still lingering in my ears.
Does this person know me?
From the accent...it sounds like he's got it all!
After Captain Long was intercepted, he was already a little tired of dealing with it.
Now the thieves are chasing hundreds of people, and the pressure suddenly increases.
This group of people seemed to be elite. With just one charge, they tore a hole in Long Jinwei's formation.
Soon, Lieutenant Long was defeated.
At this time, Emperor Jingshun was probably in danger.
Although he was worried about Li Shouzhong's safety, Feng Yibo also knew that things should not be done.
When the situation was over, he turned his horse around and prepared to leave.
Just then, I heard someone chasing me from behind.
He quickly accelerated his horse, but heard a shout from behind:
"General Feng, wait! My master, please come over and talk!"
This voice...
It turned out to be the thief who just saved him? !
