At midnight, the passageways from the capital to the four directions of the southeast, northwest and Northwest were dredged, and thousands of people rode on horses to rush out of the capital under the cover of the moonlight on each road, heading for the four sides of the Western Chu.
On the way to the south, the soldiers in armor walked through the dense jungle. Under the cover of leaves, the silver moonlight scattered on the night walkers on the way. It reflected the solemn expression on the face of the way out and the evil spirit in the eyes
Only the sound of cicadas in the silent forest leaves the clank of horses' hooves stepping on the ground. The beasts everywhere feel the murderous air coming from the face, and they hide in the dark and dare not show up. Only from time to time can they low down and shout a few times to express their unwillingness.
"Emperor, there seems to be some trouble on the way." When the moon faded and the sun began to rise, he walked out of the boundary of the capital safely. Ning Feng looked back at the forest still shrouded in the shade, with an unknown premonition in his mind.
"Well, they dare not set foot on the boundary of the capital." Jiang Muchen is a very keen person. Does Ning Feng know what he can perceive?
Along the way how many pairs of eyes stare at their this pedestrian, Jiang Muchen naturally knows.
Qu Changqing was ambushed by the army of Dongyu on the way to Chaocheng, which resulted in that only Qu Changqing was left alive. This shows that now all parties have been soldiers, all actions can not escape the eyes of all people, and who is faster than now.
And this place is very close to the capital city, so they are afraid of attacking themselves, so they can pass through the forest smoothly.
I'm afraid the next road won't be as peaceful as last night.
When Ning Feng saw the clear color of emperor Dexi's eyes, he knew that Jiang Muchen had understood the thoughts of all parties before leaving the capital. He thought for a moment and then made a voice. "After a half day's journey, he arrived at the post station ahead. After a hard night, the Emperor could have a rest. You can also add more people to protect the emperor. But now I am wronged by the Emperor... "
Ning Feng looks sideways at the armor of ordinary soldiers on Mu Chen's body, and feels miserable.
Seeing that Ningfeng has prepared everything according to the arrangement in advance, Jiang Muchen looks coldly and looks down. The whip is again Chou on the horse. The horse sitting down suddenly gallops up
"All the people rest for half an hour, and immediately go on the road after supplying the food and water needed on the road." All the way to the post station, Jiang Muchen got off his horse with all the soldiers and stepped into the post station. He told Ningfeng in a low voice that he would lead several soldiers who followed him to step into the post station.
"The rest of the three people out of town could have been attacked?" Taking advantage of the supply of a small meeting time, Jiang Muchen asked a general aloud.
"Back to the emperor, everything has not been attacked for the time being like us. Presumably, the king of Chu, the king of the sea, was trying to find out which team was hiding the real emperor, so he didn't start rashly. " The general immediately informed Jiang Muchen of the information in his hands. Since leaving the city last night, we have not received any signals from the other three sides, which means that everyone is safe for the time being.
After hearing this, Jiang Muchen is in silence. Chu Feiyang and Hai Quan are patient. They either don't fight, but they will kill their opponents.
"Go now!" Since Chu Feiyang and Haiquan are still waiting, they naturally want to reach the south before the two return to God.
I saw Jiang Muchen stand up abruptly, lead everyone out of the post station, and embark on the journey again
Five days later, Jiang Muchen led the people to stand in the plain and look down. The whole TongZhou fell into his eyes. His eyes were as dark as the clouds in the sky
"Emperor, we can arrive at the barracks in the evening. At this time, most of Jiangnan fell into the hands of Bai Wuwen. Let's go back to the barracks first and then take a long-term plan. " Seeing that emperor Dexi's eyes were fixed on Tongzhou City in the distance, Ning Feng knew that the king of the sea now controlled most of the cities in the south of the Yangtze River, which had angered the emperor. In order to avoid emperor Dexi's outrage, Ning Feng could only try his best to persuade him.
Jiang Muchen stares at the closely guarded Tongzhou City in the distance with a flash of cold light. His hands pull the reins lightly and turn the horse's head. He is about to lead the soldiers to the direction of the barracks, but suddenly he hears a loud voice from the sky
"Bang..."
Before the crowd could react, a bodyguard guarding Jiang Muchen fell down on his horse's back. He didn't even struggle to breathe.
Everyone looked down and saw that the bodyguard's chest was blooming, and the blood was flowing from his chest
Seeing that the solid and strong armor could not resist the attack of the unknown object, there was a riot in the army of emperor Dexia. People all took out their swords and swore to protect the emperor, but they did not understand where the concealed weapon was issued. One by one, they looked up to the trees around to try to find the hiding place of the thief
"Bang Bang..." The shots rang out one after another, and more and more guards fell down. The smell of gunsmoke everywhere also permeated all around with the shots. The pale yellow sulfur immediately attracted people's eyes, making people unable to find the exact hiding place of the killer.
"Don't panic. Run to the barracks as fast as you can..." However, Jiang Muchen calmed down after the initial surprise. When he rode to the barracks with his whip, he even looked back at Tongzhou. The blood in his eyes was full of murderous airAfter receiving the order from Jiang Muchen, all the people immediately put away their panic and tried their best to escape from here while protecting themselves at the side of Jiang Muchen.
Just as he finished, a gunshot came out of the air and directly wiped Jiang Muchen's shoulder
"Protect the emperor!" Seeing Jiang Muchen injured, the general was shocked. He surrounded Jiang Muchen in an instant. He dared not take it lightly any more.
Ningfeng is able to command hundreds of archers to stand behind Jiang Muchen and block the enemy's surprise attack
"Whoosh..." For a while, the sound of gunfire and arrow broke through the air!
However, the arrows just shoot on the trunk, while the archers fall down one after another
"Boom..." There was a loud noise in the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky immediately gathered together. The heavy rain poured down from the sky like a bowl of water. In a blink of an eye, everyone's clothes got wet
"Withdraw!" A low and steady voice sounded in the pouring rain, and the fierce momentum in the forest disappeared in an instant
"Stop!" Ningfeng hides behind the archer. When he sees that the other side stops attacking, he appears immediately. His eyes are fixed on the quiet forest in front of him. When the heavy rain washes the forest filled with smoke, his eyes become clear. Ningfeng's eyes are thoughtful, so he asks the bodyguard about the casualties.
"Five hundred, ninety-three wounded, two hundred sixty-eight dead." A bodyguard came forward and reported the number of casualties that had been counted to Ning Feng. Then he crouched down to check the wounds of the bodyguard who was shot and fell to the ground. He frowned and said, "what weapon is this, Lord Ning? Why don't I see you? Who dares to do it here? "
Hearing this, Ning Feng frowned, and then went to check the wound of the dead. As long as the bodyguards of the injured and important parts were killed, they knew that the weapon was powerful.
"First withdraw to the barracks, and then send someone to collect the body." Ning Feng looked down at the bodies washed by the rain, and his heart was more alert. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Ningfeng finally understands why the emperor turned to look at TongZhou before he left. No wonder there was no mistake along the way. The people of Haiquan had been waiting for the emperor for a long time, intending to strike him hard and kill him.
Just, let Ning Feng don't understand is, why do those killers see the sky rain then stop?
"Quick, pass on the doctor!" A column of generals escorted Jiang Muchen to the ChenWang barracks in the heavy rain. Before he was near the barracks gate, the generals shouted to the soldiers who were sentry outside.
For a while, there was a lot of chaos in ChenWang's barracks. All the military doctors were summoned to the barracks of the general to watch Jiang Muchen's pulse.
However, none of the military doctors have ever encountered such cases. All of them are stupid and don't know how to treat them. After a long discussion in the camp, they haven't worked out a plan.
"How is the emperor?" Ning Feng steps into the camp with a rain stain. Before he can wipe the downflow of rain on his lower body, he asks Jiang Muchen about it.
"I'm fine!" But don't want to, do not wait for that group of military doctors to open mouth, Jiang Muchen already came out from inside account.
He was only wearing a yellow silk lining, but there was a blood stain on his left shoulder, which was extremely conspicuous on a piece of golden cloth. His right hand was holding the wound, so that people could not see the injury.
"But got the killers?" Jiang Muchen looked at Ning Feng coldly, then asked aloud, not caring about the wound on his shoulder.
Ning Feng knew his master's temperament very well. He could only state the situation quickly, and then put forward his own inference carefully. Finally, he advised: "emperor, you'd better let the military doctor diagnose it, in case the other side uses poison..."
But he didn't want Jiang Muchen to raise his hand to stop Ning Feng's opening. Then he said calmly, "you just said that the blood on the ground was bright red, which means that the other side didn't use poison. I've only scratched my shoulder. I don't need to worry too much about it. "
At the end of the speech, Jiang Muchen called the military doctor on one side to stop bleeding for himself. Meanwhile, he focused on the military affairs in front of him.
After listening to the details of the cities in the south of the Yangtze River in recent days, Jiang Muchen said again, "although this time something happened in the south of the Yangtze River, Chu Feiyang has always been tricky, which is not his trick. What's more, now Dongyu is often in trouble with the army of the king of Chu. It's not his way to protect himself. However, it's hard to guarantee that this is not the mysterious plot of Haiquan. I think it's a trick of Chu Feiyang. Let's stop by silence. Everyone is not allowed to tell me about the attack. "
All the generals understood the meaning of Jiang Muchen's words in their hearts. They dared not speak more, but nodded.
