Above the desert, a horse-drawn carriage travels alone. Normally, there is a lot of traffic and people on the official roads in this area. Although it is said that trade is prohibited between Dakang and Beiyan, there are always some businessmen going on the official roads on both sides. The wisdom of the merchants is endless. Each of them only walks on the territory of their own country and trades at the border. As a result, the north-south trade routes have never been cut off.
However, in recent days, there are no ghosts and shadows on the official road. Obviously, there must be a strange existence behind this quiet. Someone in Beiyan has completely blocked the official road. At this time, there is a carriage going north. Where did it come from? It's already obvious!
Standing on the hillside in the distance, looking at the carriage on the wasteland, Crown Prince Zhao Dan's expression was extremely ugly. He said coldly, "Is this Lu Zheng's strategy? This is simply a deception and self-deception! This carriage! They must be the people on board, Mr. Zhongfu, why are you still hesitating? We should finish the errand as soon as possible!"
Zhong Fuming frowned slightly, Fu Ye slowly walked out behind Zhong Fuming, and said: "His Royal Highness, we are looking at him at this time, and the other side is also looking at them, leaving the Jiming Ai, no matter how this carriage goes, In front of them are broad daylight, full of heaven and earth!
When we move, the people from the Tiance Army must be nearby. Will they move? There are Lu Zheng and the princess on the carriage, as well as the old general that we want to save. We throw rats and we can't guarantee the success of one blow! "
Zhao Dan said: "Then what should we do? Are we just watching this? We can only keep watching them walking into the capital like this?"
Zhong Fuming let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Throwing a rat avoidance device is not enough. The key is that Lu Zheng has always been a scheming man! In the past mission, the three hundred armored cavalry has disappeared. These three hundred The Jiabing transformed into Lu Zheng's guard. Your Royal Highness, how do you say that we are only these few people, how should we attack?
At this time, can we still use the Southern Army to do this errand? "
Zhao Dan was completely speechless, and sensibly told him that now he could not move at all and acted rashly. Not only would he fail to succeed, but he would fall into the truth! In the hinterland of Beiyan, the use of a large army to kill the mission could not be seamless in any way. The consequences of this incident could not be borne by Zhao Dan, even His Majesty could not bear it.
After all, Dakang is too strong. If Dakang’s mission is destroyed, Beiyan will suffer a huge crisis first, Zhao Dan thought
It is impossible to put blame on others! Father Zhong said clearly, "His Royal Highness, you don't need to be discouraged. We dare not move, but Tiance Army must dare to move! Their goal is for the old general! Although Lu Zheng and the old general Chu are together now, they are not of one mind. Once the old general has an accident, how can we let Lu Zheng live alone? At that time, the situation will be completely different! What do you think?"
Zhao Dan said coldly: "You still can't forget to seek revenge from Lu Zheng, but if the old general has an accident, what use can we kill Lu Zheng? Don't you understand the importance of it? Father will be satisfied with what we did. Is it an errand?"
Zhong's father said neither humble nor arrogant: "His Royal Highness does not need to be anxious. This is the end of the matter. We can only obey the destiny and do our best! We will do our best to do what we can do, and the result will be given to God!
Zhong's father Ming said that, just at this moment, the scout suddenly came to report, but there was a movement from the Tiance Army! Everyone looked at the wasteland together, and saw that rolling dust was lifted up on the wasteland, and the ground began to vibrate. The cavalry of the Thousand Army Army opened the curtain on the wasteland and rushed straight to the direction of the carriage!
The Tiance Army moved, and Zhong Fuming’s pores all stood up, Zhao Dan's face became ugly, and said: "The domineering Tiance Army, do they dare to kill me Beiyan God of War in broad daylight? ?"
...
The carriage moved forward, not hurriedly or slowly, Chu Tianba sat cross-legged in front of the carriage, waving his whip in his hand, and the whip gently ticked in the air. The horse slowly opened its hooves and sprinkled in front of it.
"Lu Zheng, did you see it? There is no one on the official road! Your so-called strategy turned out to be to hide your ears and steal the bell, and it turned out to be self-deception! You said that if you and I could go to Beijing safely, I am afraid that even the little girl would not believe it Chu Tianba suddenly said faintly. His expression was gloomy and his eyes flickered. He stared at the sky. The sky was blue. Occasionally there were herons and eagles passing by, and the sky of the great wasteland seemed extraordinarily high.
Lu Zheng said, "Is this bad? We have hundreds of guards waiting by our side now. Also, look, on the hillsides on both sides, there must be a lot of eyes looking at us. They are thinking about you and me. , And then racked my brains to think about countermeasures, do you think this feeling is uncomfortable?"
Chu Tianba smiled bitterly: "Lu Zheng, I am very proud of your tone. Can you guarantee that my enemy will come first? If my enemy comes first, I will die! If it is your enemy, I can't bear it. Live, I'm afraid you will suffer as a result!"
Chu Tianba groaned slightly, and continued: "I heard that you have a lot of enemies. In my Beiyan, there is a powerful figure who is a deadly enemy with you! In comparison, my bad old man has a big name. , But I am old after all! Famous players are like beauties, and they are afraid of whiteheads! My life and death are nothing compared to you!"
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Why are you arrogant, Mr. Chu? Actually, in my eyes, your veteran is really worthless, and everything else is nothing. Therefore, the more valuable things are, the easier it is to cause death. This is the eternal truth!"
"Haha!" Chu Tianba suddenly smiled and said, "I have to say, you kid has a great appetite for me. If I'm twenty years younger, I will definitely become good friends with you! I will definitely try to If you stay in Beiyan, you and I will work together to consolidate and expand my Beiyan's foundation. It's a pity that the years are not forgiving!
Boy, let me tell you, everything in this world is floating clouds, only youth is wealth and it is worth cherishing! The princes and generals, a generation of emperors is old, and it is inevitable that they will die, and finally they will die! Just like me, no matter how many names, no matter how good the reputation is, it is already dying, and it is destined to be difficult to accomplish in this life! Although I am unwilling, but there is nothing I can do about it! "
Chu Tianba said that, with a rare sadness in his eyes, indeed, even if he was a man of iron, he couldn't resist the devastation of the years! He has been waiting for twenty years for a comeback. After waiting for this day, what he felt was a deep loss!
The world is no longer what it was back then. The most important thing is that his Chu Tianba has lost the elegance of twenty years ago. His empty ambitions may never be realized!
The old and the young, talking about the sky and the earth, the journey was very pleasant, but at this moment, there was a vibration on the ground, and the sky in the distance lifted up dust, and a group of cavalry rushed over here like a whirlwind on the wasteland. ! They came very fast, only a black line could be seen at the beginning, and soon the faces of these people could be seen clearly one by one!
Chu Tianba's hand that raised the whip stiffened slightly. He kept the whip in his hand and sighed softly, saying that it was too late, it was soon, and the horse team had already rolled quickly from a distance. Come here, Lu Zheng said:
"Old Chu, why are you sighing? If I guess right, I should have won the bet again! Relative to me, your old man is truly respected and valued!"
Chu Tianba chuckled and said, "At a young age, he is so scheming. Haven't you heard a sentence called Yi Yao, the premature wise man?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Old Chu, you must pay attention to your demeanor, especially in front of younger generations. Look, the leader of the cavalry on the other side is the son you carried with one hand, and now he belongs to Bei Yan. General Tianwei, vaguely has the style of your back then!"
Chu Tianba gave a weird smile, ignoring Lu Zheng's taunt. He gently brought the horse's rein and stopped the carriage. At this time, the cavalry on the opposite side had arrived only twenty feet away from the carriage.
There are not many cavalry in this team. About one or two hundred people are in this group. The leader is wearing a black cloak, with sharp eyes like a knife, and a long and strong body. Who is it if it is not Chu Xuan?
The cavalry stopped, everyone's eyes focused on the horse, Chu Tianba at the front of the carriage slowly stood up, he pulled away his messy gray hair, his eyes calmly looked forward, and he said every word. : "Twenty years, you are indeed an adult! What a great thing!"
Chu Xuan rolled down from the horse, knelt on the ground, and said, "Is it really you, foster father!"
"Haha..." Chu Tianba laughed up to the sky. The laughter was as harsh as a night owl. He jumped from the carriage, and his temperament changed instantly. His figure was very tall. Although he was haggard, he was killing him. The momentum, still everyone feels terrified!
"Xuan'er, stand up! All this is probably in my expectation, and I don’t have too much regret when speaking of it! It’s just that I don’t understand after all, why did you do this errand? Are all Beiyan's people dead? Do you have to come?" Chu Tian said overbearingly.
Chu Xuan looked up at Chu Tianba and said, "Foster father, my parents were killed for you back then. I was seven years old that year! At that time, you were the most powerful being in Beiyan, and even your majesty gave courtesy. You three points! You fancy me and accept me as a righteous son, I can only agree!
However, the hatred is still in my heart, and I also think that one day I will be able to kill my enemies! Unexpectedly, today, twenty years later, the opportunity will come! Grace, the Queen of Heaven, gave me this opportunity. It's as simple as that. Foster father, you should be glad that you did not die in the hands of the Dakang people. Fallen leaves returned to their roots and returned to your hometown! "
Chu Xuan paused, and then said: "Don't worry, you will always be my **** of war and my foster father. After you die, I will put on the linen and filial piety for you, and will keep filial piety for you for three years. There will never be any lack of courtesy, this is the best kindness of the Queen to you!"
