Chapter 855: Interception (1)
The undulating ancient trees of Taihang Mountain are forested, covering the sky and the sun, and there are few people. There is a path between the valleys, winding and winding, spiraling along the mountain, like a giant python swimming among the green grass.
This is a mountain road through the Taihang Mountain, can go straight to the old capital of the Zhao State Jinyang, although the road is narrow and rugged, can only walk the light car, but it is closer than the post road half the distance, many Zhao people by their businessmen or like to take this road to Jinyang, so when the Zhao State is strong, this road is often the traffic is continuous, and the sound of people shouting horses and neighing is endless.
However, this is already a thing in the memory of many Zhao people, these decades, Qin and Zhao have been fighting endlessly, and Jinyang has long been occupied by Qin, Jinyang and Handan have become the land of the two countries, so there are few cars and horses on this road, although Handan is also the land of Qin at this time, but it is on the border of Han and Qin, there are few merchants, and there are not many people walking.
At this time, the ruts on the road were covered with dust, and many sections of the road were even covered with weeds, and from time to time there were mountain monkeys, roe deer sheep and other animals coming out of the forest, running and jumping on the avenue, playing with each other.
But at this moment, at the end of the mountain road, there was a sudden sound of rumbling ruts and horses' hooves, and the mountain monkeys and roe deer sheep immediately burrowed into the forest again, probing their heads through the cracks in the branches and leaves.
I saw that among the more than ten fast horses, mixed with three light cars, galloping, the sound of wheels and horses' hooves mixed together, echoing in the valley for a long time.
On the first carriage, there were two young women, one on the left was wearing a palace dress, although her face was full of dust, but she still couldn't hide her peerless elegance, and a long hair, with the carriage galloping, fluttering, was the eldest daughter of Qin Wangzheng, Princess Hehua.
After contacting the plateau, Hehua immediately consulted with Guigu and Chi Songzi, and the two also fully agreed with Gao Yuan's opinion, in the current situation, only the Qin and Han alliances can turn the tables successfully, and there is a great chance, but this must send Hehua to Handan, as an intermediary between the plateau and Qin Wangzheng. And Hehua is willing to play such a role. So the two of them also immediately took action and arranged for Hehua to leave Xianyang and go to Handan.
Although Han Teng completely blockaded Xianyang City, the army of the Jiuli tribe was limited after all, and the scale of Xianyang City was huge, and it was impossible to completely blockade it, so it was necessary to use a group of Qin troops, which brought a lot of convenience to the actions of Chisongzi and Guiguzi; Chi Songzi has lived in the Qin State for more than 20 years, so naturally he will not live in the palace all the time, there are also many arrangements outside the palace, and a few disciples have been accepted, and although Guigu Xiao is a newcomer, he has the full support of the hidden intelligence officers of the Han State behind him, so with the ability of the two of them, it is not difficult to get a few people out of Xianyang.
Xianyang is the key area of the Han army's intelligence system, second only to Handan in terms of investment and personnel, and now there are nearly 200 Han intelligence personnel lurking in Xianyang, and nearly half of them live outside Xianyang.
The Jiuli tribe's control of Xianyang City is quite strict, but the control of the outside of the city is much looser, so after Hehua leaves the city, someone naturally responds, and arranges carriages and personnel to protect Hehua along the way, and at the same time, Chi Songzi also sent his three younger brothers, Kou Xian, Lu Tong, and Fang Mei. Protecting Hehua's peers can basically ensure the safety of Hehua. And Chi Songzi and Guiguzi stayed in Xianyang to continue to lurk and hide, after all, once Qin and Han joined forces, they would definitely counterattack Xianyang, and then the two of them could do internal responses in Xianyang.
The Han State's sleeper personnel were extremely efficient, and they also knew that the current situation was critical, so after receiving Guiguzi's order, they immediately prepared two carriages, twelve Han intelligence officers, and the three disciples of Hehua and Chi Songzi, Kou Xian, Lu Tong, and Fang Mei, rushed to Handan together. And the intelligence officers of the Han Kingdom naturally knew about this trail through the Taihang Mountain, so after the group entered the Zhao land, they rushed to Handan from this trail.
A group of chariots and horses marched quickly in the mountain path, and did not realize that the dark purple mist had gradually covered the whole sky, and the birds returned to the forest at dusk, and the sound of apes was heard on the side of the road, which was quite creepy.
After a day of hurrying, the horses were tired and hungry, so the carriage and horses slowed down, and then a rider came up from behind the carriage and said to Hehua: "Princess, it is getting late, let's look for a place to stay overnight, rest for the night, and then continue our journey after dawn." ”
Although Hehua has a strange skill, but the physique is still a delicate woman, after days of hurrying, and a day of bumping on the carriage, already exhausted, then the spirit of the strong spirit: "What is this place, how far is it from Handan?" ”
The man said: "This is Xishan, about forty miles away from Handan, after resting for the night, we can rush to Handan tomorrow morning." ”
He Hua pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Don't stay here for a long time, everyone rest for a while, and then go on the road, it's best to rush to Handan overnight tonight." ”
At this time, Fang Mei, who was in the same car with Hehua, had a difficult face, and said: "Princess, we have been on the road for a day, and you are also tired for a day, so you will rest here for the night, and then you will travel tomorrow, anyway, it is only forty miles away, and you are not in a hurry for this night." ”
He Hua said: "This place is too close to Handan, I think the Jiuli clan will inevitably have arrangements, so don't stop more, it's better to rush to the Han army camp in Handan as soon as possible, don't worry about me, I can still support it." ”
At this moment, a long howl was heard from the forest, and the frightened birds flapped their wings and flew up, making a frightened cry.
Hehua's face changed slightly, and the accompanying Han intelligence officers immediately rushed up, forming a circle around Hehua's carriage, Kou Xian and Lu Tong on the other carriage were on the left and right, protecting both sides of the carriage, while Fang Mei was in front of Hehua.
I saw three figures appear from the direction of the end of the mountain road, although it was getting late, the distance was quite far, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but from the figures, it could be seen that these were two men and one woman.
And everyone was a little relieved to see that there were only three people coming, because the intelligence officers of the Han Kingdom who were sent to escort Hehua this time were all proficient in martial arts, and the three younger brothers of Chi Songzi were even more stunning, so although there were not many people in this team, they must not be underestimated. There are only three opponents, so you can deal with it.
But Hehua's heart sank, since the other party only dispatched three people, they were naturally masters, and after the three of them approached, Hebi had already seen clearly that the girl's face was covered with a light veil, covering her face, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. The two men were tall and dressed as samurai, and carried a long halberd, but the halberd was divided into four halberds and was in the shape of a cross; The other was short in stature and a dwarf.
He Hua heard Gao Yuan say that the strongest under Han Teng should be regarded as the five god generals, among which there is a woman named Shui Xinyue, who shows her face in a light veil; There is also a dwarf named Tuxingsun, who is good at digging and burrowing, and is obviously worthy of these two people, while the other person, Hehua, although he can't guess his identity, but since he came with Shui Xinyue and Tuxingsun, he will not be an ordinary person, and it is very likely to be another person among the five god generals.
Therefore, He Hua sat up straight in the carriage and said, "Are you the five god generals?" ”
Shui Xinyue was slightly surprised, and said, "I didn't think that Princess Hehua also knew about the five gods?" Yes, I'm Shui Xinyue, and these two are Huo Blaze Sun and Tu Xing Sun. Since the princess knows the five gods, she should naturally know our names as well. ”
Originally, the people who protected Hehua just breathed a sigh of relief, but when they learned that the person who came was the five god generals, they couldn't help but get nervous, because in the past few years, with Han Teng's repeated military exploits in the Qin State, the prestige of the five god generals has become more and more widespread, although they think that their strength is not weak, but compared with the five god generals, there is still a big gap, if only one person comes, maybe they can still rely on the advantage of numbers to fight, but now they are facing three five god generals, and everyone thinks that they have no chance to protect Hehua's safety. Therefore, everyone couldn't help but get nervous.
And at this time, the calmest person was He Hua, and said, "Do you also know that it is me?" Looks like you're waiting for me here? ”
Shui Xinyue smiled faintly and said: "After the lord occupied Xianyang, he did not find the whereabouts of the princess in the palace, so he guessed that the princess would definitely rush to Handan to report to Qin Wangzheng, so he ordered us to monitor the road to Handan and intercept the princess." But we didn't expect that the princess would know that there was such a path. But even if the princess rushes to Handan, what can she do, it's just to accompany Qin Wangzheng to die. ”
He Hua said in a deep voice: "So, my father is still safe and sound in Handan City?" ”
Shui Xinyue glanced at Hehua, only to see that Hehua's eyes were as calm as a lake, and there was no ripple at all, and she couldn't help but panic for no reason, and she actually had a feeling that she didn't dare to look at Hehua, this feeling was only available when facing Han Teng or Gao Yuan, why did Hehua bring such a feeling to herself.
At this time, Huo Lieyang snorted and said: "The princess has time to take care of Qin Wangzheng, it is better to care about yourself first, Qin Wangzheng is not dead yet, but there are no days to live, and with us here, do you still want to go back to Handan City?" ”
He Hua smiled slightly and said, "This is maybe, it seems that Han Teng will expect me to come to Handan, and maybe other people will also expect it, you can intercept me halfway, maybe someone will come to pick me up." ”
When Shui Xinyue and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, who didn't expect that Hehua still looked fearless at this time, and looking at Hehua's appearance, it didn't seem like he was deliberately bluffing.
And then Holland said: "If you want to arrest me, you'd better do it quickly, because if you drag it out, maybe something unexpected will happen." ”
Shui Xinyue and the other three glanced at each other, and they all had a feeling that the situation was controlled by Hehua.
Flaming Sun Shen snorted, took a step towards Hehua's carriage, and said, "Okay, I see who will come to save you." ”
