Chapter 389: Ambush

Yu Xing's report seemed to reassure Reina, who seemed to be in a good mood, and stayed in Yanshi for a few days, during which time he went to the embankment outside the city to see the Yellow River thaw, and the large blocks of ice slowly moved downstream, the scene was extremely spectacular; that night, he went to the best brothel in Yanshi to listen to music, and spent a happy evening in the company of several red girls.

After three days, Reina called Yu Xing and asked about the situation along the way again, Yu Xing assured him that no abnormalities were found along the way, and in the past three days, he took people to check again and found no abnormalities.

Reina was very happy after hearing this, and reminded him again that the dock near the Yanshi should be controlled, and in about half a month, the shipping will begin, which is the point, in addition, the local gangs of the Yanshi should be gradually cleaned up, but this action should be small, don't be too anxious, squeeze them out slowly, and finally, pay attention to the relationship with the Red Gun Society, and don't easily conflict with the Red Gun Society.

The Red Gun Society is a rural organization all over the imperial capital, this organization is very loose, never into the city, only in the countryside activities, members are the villagers of the village, usually farming, farming when the farm is not high, so the cultivation is not high, but the number of people is overwhelming, ascending a shout, there are thousands of thousands of people gathered in an instant.

The imperial court's attitude towards this organization is very strange, both restricting and supporting, but it is mostly supportive, after all, once something happens, the imperial court will immediately get tens of thousands of soldiers when it gives an order.

The gangs near the imperial capital also have a friendly attitude towards the Red Gun Society, after all, the Red Gun Society is mostly in the countryside, and there is no conflict between the two sides.

The reason why Reina emphasized the Red Gun Society was mainly because the docks of the Yanshi were all outside the city, and there were no docks in the city, and there were nearby villagers among the dock porters, so there might be local Red Gun Club members.

Yu Xing agreed one by one, and once again assured Reina that he would ensure the safety of Yanshi.

After arranging the Yanshi, Reina left the Yanshi on the morning of the fourth day, Yu Xing took a dozen rudder elites to escort to the Shili Pavilion before breaking up with Reina, before parting, Reina reminded him again that he must be careful in the Yanshi, the opponent is likely to turn to strangle the rudder of the wind and rain tower near the imperial capital, and prepare a few more hiding places, Yu Xing agreed with gratitude.

The convoy marched towards the imperial capital, out of caution, Shen Chen sent three horsemen in front to explore the road, Yanshi is the east gate of the imperial capital, the business travelers who entered the imperial capital from the east mostly passed from here, from here to the imperial capital, there was no city along the way, the post road meandered on the south bank of the Yellow River, and after walking for more than 20 miles, the post road began to deviate from the Yellow River.

There are a lot of pedestrians and businessmen on the road, but most pedestrians and businessmen subconsciously distance themselves from the convoy after seeing the convoy with knives and guns.

After the Yanshi, it entered the imperial capital, the security here has always been relatively stable, the number of displaced people has increased in recent years, these displaced people rushed to the imperial capital through the Yanshi, which brought a lot of pressure to the security of the imperial capital, so Jingzhao Yin Chen Xuan ordered to strengthen the patrol, and at the same time went to the imperial court, asking to prohibit the displaced people from entering the imperial capital, but this song was left in the middle by the Taiding Emperor, Chen Xuan had no choice but to ask the Pishan battalion to send troops to patrol near the imperial capital again, this music was rejected by the Taiding Emperor.

Chen Xuan had no choice, so he went up again, asking for permission to organize township soldiers in each township, patrol in the countryside in his spare time, maintain law and order in the township, and work in the field when he was busy, this time Emperor Taiding agreed, so Chen Xuan organized a group of township soldiers in each township, these township soldiers only patrol locally to maintain law and order.

The township is the grass-roots government organization of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the township chief has no salary, let alone grade, all of which are recommended by the township, reported to the imperial court, and recognized by the government, and the only privilege that can be had is that there is no need to pay poll tax, and the main job is to help the imperial court collect taxes.

There are no township soldiers on the post road, unless you enter the town, from Yanshi to the imperial capital for more than 100 miles, you have to pass several small towns on the way, these towns have township soldiers, and the public security is relatively good.

The horse team did not go very fast, and even very carefully, every few miles, three knights rushed out of the horse team, to the front to take over the three knights who were exploring the way, and passed several tea shops in a row, and the horse team did not stop.

When passing through the grass ditch at the first danger point marked by Yu Xing, the convoy stopped, and after several horses scattered and went deep into the ravine to explore, this grass ditch was not a ditch dug out manually, but a ditch that was rushed out of the Yellow River embankment many years ago, and the river water rushed out of the ditch, after the water receded, the ditch gradually dried up, which was not suitable for growing grain, and no one cultivated it for a long time, so a large number of vines and grasses were born, and several stone bridges were connected to both ends of the ditch. There are several meters of grass in the grass ditch, hiding dozens of hundreds of people, and there is no problem at all.

The knight dismounted, jumped under the bridge in the ditch without hesitation, and after careful inspection, the convoy continued on the road, and after the convoy crossed the grass ditch, the knight came out of the ditch, remounted his horse, and caught up with the convoy.

There was nothing along the way, the emperor was in sight, but the vigilance of the convoy was still not relaxed, even at noon, the convoy was only in Sanguan Town, and the convoy only stayed for a short time, so he bought some baked cakes at the roadside stall, and left immediately, and ate the water bladder outside the town, and continued on the road.

"Everyone be careful, the pine forest slope in front is the last point. ”

Out of the town, not far away, is a pine forest, this pine forest slope slope is not large, but in this endless plain, this slope is already very eye-catching, along the slope is surrounded by a pine forest, post road through the woods.

The convoy stopped in front of the slope, more than a dozen knights galloped into the forest, and after entering the forest, they quickly dispersed, and after a while, a horse came out of the forest, arrived in front of Shen Chen, nodded at Shen Chen, Shen Chen waved his hand, and the convoy continued to move forward.

Although it had been investigated in advance, the entire convoy still maintained a high degree of vigilance, and all the swords were unsheathed, and the hidden arrows, flying knives, and flying locusts were all in their hands.

The pine forest slope is not long, only about one and a half miles, the convoy quickly out of the pine forest, head-on downhill, everyone can not help but breathe a sigh of relief, swords into the sheath, a rude scolding in the horse team.

The convoy continued to move forward, all the danger points have passed, through Huangzhuang Town, in front of the ten miles shop, the convoy did not enter the imperial capital, but to a small village in the north of the city, this Zhuangzi is a secret rudder of the wind and rain building outside the city, this is many years ago, soon after the wind and rain building began to be established, Reina quietly bought, and then changed hands several times, and finally was bought by a small gate valve surnamed Wu in Yingchuan, in fact, Wu Gongzi of this small gate valve is a friend of Reina's classmate, and he joined the wind and rain building, the only one who does not dislike him, and continues to associate with him.

There are not many people who know this dark rudder, but there is a small knife Yang Mo among these people, so the palace must know, but the strange thing is that this place has never been attacked, you know, in order to hide, most of the people here have no cultivation, just ordinary servants, a few family members, and the cultivation is not high, only in this way can it meet the characteristics of the small gate valve manor.

The convoy stopped at Shilipu, there are not many people in Shilipu today, and the only two teahouses have been crowded with people, it can be seen that most of them are people with status, it seems that there are officials who have left their jobs and returned to their hometowns, and colleagues from the DPRK and China are here to see him off, and the door is full of swords and swords, and they lazily look at the guests who come and go, obviously they don't feel anything.

"Don't stop, go now. Reina rushed outside and ordered, Shen Chen did not answer, but made a gesture, and the entire convoy slowly passed through the slightly congested road.

Soon to the edge of the ten-mile shop, the restaurant teahouse in the center of the ten-mile shop is for the rich, then the small tea shop on the edge is for the porter farmer, these rough men, but today the teahouse restaurant is stuffed, and some merchants are also squeezed here.

The small tea shop, without a name, has two tables, these two tables have been occupied, the one on the left is a father and daughter, the father has a goatee, carrying a hat, and at his feet is a pair of burdens, the burden is tightly covered, and it looks very heavy; the daughter is seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a long skirt of green cloth coat and long skirt common in the countryside, her hair is tied in a bun, and a wooden hairpin is inserted on it, her face is a little dark, the daughter's leg is a back basket, there is a sack in the back basket, and the mouth of the sack is also tied tightly, the father and daughter have walked a lot of roads, and the daughter's hair is soaked with sweat.

On the other table, there are four people, in the middle is a Taoist priest from Youfang, with a blanket on his shoulders, and a bamboo pole is erected next to him, with a big hexagram on it, and on the left side of the Taoist priest is a slightly fat businessman, the Taoist priest is holding the merchant's hand, pointing to the lines on it and saying, obviously, he is doing a business; on the other side of the Taoist priest and opposite are two people who look like men, the guy on the right is a little older, in his thirties, and the guy on the opposite side is only in his twenties, with his back to the road, and is listening attentively to the Taoist priest's explanation.

There are four porters on the side of the small tea shop, these four porters are drinking water, talking happily, obviously, they are almost in the imperial capital, they will pay their errands, and the money will be in hand, so these four porters are very happy.

Opposite the small tea shop is a wonton shop, the wonton shop is smaller than the tea shop, there is only one table, a simple shed is built on the stove, the owner of the wonton shop is a woman in her thirties, the woman has a blue cloth on her head, very skillfully wrapped the wontons, from time to time to look at the water in the pot, pour half a scoop of water into the pot at any time, and look at the guests passing by from time to time, beckoning the guests to come in to eat.

There are already three people on the table in the wonton shop, the three of them are different, the two on the front and the left are both young men in their twenties, both of them are wearing strong suits, with weapons on their legs, looking up at the tall city wall in the distance from time to time, their expressions are faintly excited, obviously these are two young people who came to the imperial capital to break into the world, but the person at the same table with them is a scholar, eating wontons very gently, and from time to time floating out two words of the sage, obviously persuading the two people, but the two young people in strong suits obviously can't listen.

"Guest officer, good wontons, come in and eat a bowl to relieve fatigue!" The female shopkeeper shouted at a middle-aged man passing by, the middle-aged man was wearing sackcloth, carrying a burden, carrying a burden, the burden was very heavy, and there were several statues of gods inside, the middle-aged man looked at the woman's wonton, swallowed his saliva, and then walked to the tea shop, asked the tea owner for the cheapest bowl of tea, and sat on the side, took out a black paste cake from the baggage, ate it carefully.

There was a caravan from the opposite side, the caravan only had three carriages, the goods on the carriage were tightly wrapped, covered with a layer of thatched mats to waterproof, the groom driving the horse with a straw hat, saw the Reina convoy, and hurriedly leaned the carriage to the side.

"Phew!"

The carriage was leaning to the side, at this time two horses galloped from the direction of the imperial capital, and when they reached the back of the caravan, the knight did not stop, but beat the horse through the side of the caravan, and hit Reina's horse team head-on, the knight in front quickly pulled the reins, stepped off the horse and neighed, raised his legs high, and then fell heavily, at this moment, the knight behind also chased after him, he saw the road blocked from a distance, and quickly pulled the reins, slowing down.

"Damn!" the knight in front of him scolded angrily.

The horse team was blocked, and the guard who walked in front stared at the knight with an expressionless face, the knight looked eighteen or nineteen years old, in a white silk robe, and the knight who caught up behind was in his thirties, wearing a strong suit, beating his horse and grabbing the reins of the knight in front.

"Young master, go back, otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the old man!"

"Go back, I'll make a bet with Fat Qin, from here to Yanshi, come back before the third stroke of the moon, otherwise I'll invite him to drink a lot of wine in Drunken Huayin!

"Young master," the man behind shouted anxiously, "The old man has an order.....

"The old man asked you to follow me, I didn't want you to follow!

The young master's tone was quite horizontal, and a whip was whipped towards the man's hand, "Smack!" The man's hand did not move at all, still holding the young master's reins tightly, the young master was even more annoyed, and he whipped two more times, but the man's hand was still motionless, but two red marks appeared on his arm.

The two of them were at a stalemate, and the entire road was blocked, Shen Chen frowned, looked around, and made gestures, and all the guards quietly approached the carriage, blocking the road to the carriage.

The young woman at the wonton shop wrapped the wontons, threw them into the pot, picked up a long spoon and stirred it in the pot, still looking up at the people on the road, she ignored the horse team, these people were not her target customers, only ordinary and untattered small traders could sit down in her shop.

"Guest, Guest, Rest and eat a bowl of ravioli!" the young woman's voice was hoarse and seductive.

In the tea shop, the Taoist priest was still telling fortunes to the fat businessman, the owner of the tea shop was carrying a kettle, looking at the dispute between the young master and the man with a smile, and the four porters were also looking at it happily, as if they were watching the excitement, eating black cakes, hearing the quarrel in front, they couldn't help but look up twice, and then they were still eating cakes at the bottom, not interested in the things ahead.

Seeing that it was blocked, the people behind didn't care, this ten-mile shop is a traffic artery, it was not blocked twice that day, two errand officers ran behind, and the two errand officers ran very fast, they did not alarm the Reina convoy, and passed by the wonton shop, and the young woman of the wonton shop also yelled at them.

"Two masters! two masters! Okay, okay, okay!" The messenger knew that he couldn't afford to provoke the young master and the man's outfits, so he hugged his fists when he came to him: "You see it's all blocked, what is there to let go first, let it go first, thank you two masters!"

The messenger hugged his fist at the two of them again and again, the young master looked up, snorted coldly, the two messengers saluted with a smile, and it was not good to be angry with them, the man also looked up, and saw that everyone in the Reina team was wearing swords, staring at them indifferently, obviously on guard, he immediately pulled the horse's head and walked towards the wonton shop, and when he arrived at the wonton shop, the young master threw the saddle and dismounted, and saw that there was no seat, so he stood on the side.

The road was opened, the two messengers let go to the side, looked back and forth, estimated that the Reina convoy was not easy to mess with, and quickly commanded the caravan to the side and leaned again, so that the people behind were all on the side, and then stood on the side and waited for the convoy to pass.

Shen Chen looked around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was relieved, and ordered to move on, the convoy slowly moved forward, and the escort formation that was tightly guarding the side of the carriage was loosened, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the young woman of the wonton shop who was stirring the pot shook her wrist, and a little black star flew out of the pot, accurately passed through the gap of the escort, and flew towards the carriage, and heard a slight sound, and passed through the carriage.

The owner of the tea shop was still smiling, and the teapot in his hand sounded a soft sound, and the spout suddenly spewed out a puff of steel needles.

The fortune teller Taoist priest's eyes shone brightly, and the long bamboo pole suddenly flew up, passed through the group of guards, and plunged into the carriage.

Look at the lively porter, the flat shoulder under the buttocks, turned into a long knife, and rushed to the escort.

The carriage of the caravan, as soon as the coachman pulled the rope, the straw mat slipped down, revealing two crossbowmen, the bowstring sounded, and several black lines flew towards the convoy.

Two young men who longed for the imperial capital drew their swords and rushed towards the convoy, the scholar took out a folding fan, pressed the machine bracket against the convoy, and the black star flew towards the convoy.

In an instant, the ambush was launched together!
