Chapter 312: Song (2)
Halfway through the procession, Leng Lingqi rushed back from the mountains at night, dusty and embarrassed.
The emperor hurriedly beckoned him over, and asked in a hurried voice, "How is the situation, have you been chased?"
"No!" Leng Lingqi shook his head lightly, and said with a solemn face: "The assassin's light skills are not weak, and he is extremely familiar with the surrounding mountains, plus he has set a lot of traps in the mountains, and we can't take him for a while." Now that the chase is still closely behind him, I'll come back and report the situation first. ”
"Saint!" General Di turned his head to the emperor and asked, "Look?"
"Don't care about him, go back to Wusheng Pass first, stabilize the army, he can't afford to make much trouble alone!" With the support of General Di, the emperor gradually showed a little bit of the emperor's prestige, and he directly intervened in this matter.
Hearing that the emperor made arrangements without even asking, Leng Lingqi and Ruthless glanced at each other, and the eyes of both of them revealed a trace of melancholy.
Because the pursuit of life has been closely pursued behind Yuan Xi, he did not have the slightest chance to get close to the emperor, so until the emperor and his party entered Wusheng Pass, there was no crisis.
The city wall of Wushengguan is as high as six zhang, the width is up to three zhang, the radius is more than ten miles, between the two rolling mountains of Dabie Mountain and Tongbao Mountain, it is the throat of the north-south traffic that is rigidly controlled, the south locks Ezhou, the north Pingyuan, when it is called the first Xiongguan in the world.
As soon as he entered Wusheng Pass, the pass was heavily guarded, and after a little discussion with the emperor, Yuan Xi ordered to convene the generals overnight, but this kind of thing did not involve Liang Dong and others, and in Wusheng Pass, the emperor's safety did not need them to worry.
Liang Dong and his party were placed in the military camp in Wusheng Guancheng, and the conditions can only be said to be average, but here is enough to make people feel at ease. The constant sound of patrol footsteps outside the door,
Liang Dong and the others had just settled down, and someone had already brought a sumptuous dinner, the dinner was good, there was fish and meat, but unfortunately there was no wine. General Di ruled the army strictly, and alcohol was not allowed in the barracks.
"Liang Dong, your wound doesn't matter, right?" Ruthless didn't eat much, and quickly put down his chopsticks and entered Liang Dong's room, asking about his injuries.
"Fortunately, it hurts a little and I can't sleep. Liang Dong didn't eat much for dinner, he just drank a bowl of porridge and went back to his room to rest. Liang Dong sat up and asked ruthlessly in a deep voice, "How is it, haven't the two of them come back yet?"
Soon after entering Wusheng Pass, Leng Ling Qi and Chaseful were called by the emperor, Liang Dong did not deliberately eavesdrop on what they were saying, and he didn't have to worry too much when he got here.
"No, I don't know what the emperor told them to do!" ruthlessly wrinkled, her heart was a little worried.
Liang Dong smiled and comforted softly: "Don't worry, it's okay! There is a large army here, and we don't have to worry about the emperor's safety." Besides, if something really happens, with us people, sister, what do you think we can do? ”
After speaking, Liang Dong deliberately raised his arm with difficulty. Although Liang Dong has now bandaged and dressed, because of the bandage, his whole person looks fat, and he has a ridiculous sense of joy inexplicably.
Ruthless has always looked indifferent, even if it is her, she can't help but have a smile in her eyes at this time.
While Liang Dong was talking ruthlessly, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the barracks, and these brothers brought by the chase immediately became nervous, and their hands couldn't help but touch their blades.
"Don't be nervous, it's okay. Ruthless walked out of Liang Dong's room, waved his hand to everyone, and said, "Don't worry, it's not coming at us." ”
The ruthless strength and the pursuit of life are not comparable, and they still have a lot of right to speak in the crowd, and after the ruthless words are finished, there is no movement on their side for a long time, and everyone calms down a little.
What Ruthless just said was told to her by Liang Dong through Shunfeng's ear, she was telling everyone, the specific reason Liang Dong was not clear, it seemed to be related to the internal disputes of the Xinyang Army, but General Di had the emperor's support behind him, and it was only a matter of time before he completely controlled Wusheng Pass.
The turmoil inside Wushengguan only lasted for an hour or two and completely subsided, and at this time, everyone had already slept for a while, but they didn't sleep very well.
At this time, Leng Lingqi and Chase came back from outside. Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, everyone was completely relieved.
"What happened?" Ruthless asked in a deep voice as he poured a cup of tea for Leng Ling Qi and Chase Life.
"It's still Yuan Xi's business. Leng Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to everyone in detail.
Yuan Xi was deliberately inserted into the Xinyang Army by Cai Xiang, on the one hand, he stepped up to win over General Di, and on the other hand, he was also secretly pulling in all aspects of the army. After all, General Di's attitude has always been ambiguous, and Yuan Xi was worried that once General Di turned his face, the situation would be unfavorable, so he took precautions in advance.
I don't know what the reason is, for Yuan Xi's secret moves, General Di watched the fire but did not move at all, and let some of the army's shaking heads throw themselves to Yuan Xi's side. Because of Cai Xiang's endorsement behind him, Yuan Xi's movements were very fast, and he had already won over half of the army's forces, and he himself was not bad, and he began to secretly oppose General Di, and kept restricting him.
Tonight, General Di led his relatives out of the city secretly, although his hands and feet were extremely hidden, he was still watched by Yuan Xi, who had been secretly staring at him. What's more, tonight was originally an extremely sensitive night, the emperor was on his way to Wusheng Pass, Yuan Xi had already learned the general situation from Cai Xiang, how could he relax at this time.
So after some thought, Yuan Xi decided to go out in person and follow General Di to investigate the situation, and after discovering the traces of the emperor, Yuan Xi was very decisive and directly attacked, wanting to take the emperor's life.
Yuan Xi didn't want to bring other subordinates, but when it came to the emperor, he didn't guarantee how his subordinates would react when facing the emperor, and the facts proved that his worries were correct.
Because Yuan Xi was chased before, he was forced to enter the customs, and later General Di returned to the customs, and after receiving the chase to enter the customs, he completely closed the gate, even if Yuan Xi came back, he could not enter the customs.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Xi immediately summoned the generals and showed the emperor in front of the generals, and Leng Lingqi and the six-door official clothes of chasing his life followed closely behind the emperor, guarding his safety at all times.
As soon as they heard that these two people were the two of the four famous people who were caught today, chasing their lives and being cold-blooded, the generals present no longer dared to doubt the emperor's authenticity. Taking advantage of this, General Di disposed of several generals who were closely behind Yuan Xi with thunderous means, and other wall grasses who were close to Yuan Xi were also demoted. After that, General Di sent people to raid Yuan Xi's barracks and directly eradicate a group of pro-troops he left in the army, and only then did he just clean up everything.
Hearing Chasing Life and Leng Lingqi say this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cool air. Although the two of them said it simply, the sword and sword shadow, the bloody wind and rain are indeed something that everyone can imagine.
This life-and-death confrontation was definitely no less murderous than the crisis they encountered all the way from the capital to Wusheng Pass.
"How many people have died in this mess?" asked one of the brothers who chased the order, very indifferently.
Chasing Fate glared at his brother fiercely, and saw that everyone else was all good, so he had to lower his voice and said: "There are not many people, and the number of dead and wounded is only more than 300 people. ”
"More than 300 people!" Everyone who said the words of chasing life switched, more than 300 people, they were less than 20 people in this line, and more than 300 people died at once, and the pursuit of life was so lightly said that several brothers couldn't help but stare at him.
Leng Lingqi didn't care about the conversation between everyone, he pulled Liang Dong aside and said in a low voice: "Liang Dong, Sheng will let you go over now, you should be careful, there should be no less etiquette." The emperor now has an army in hand, and his temper is much bigger. ”
As soon as Leng Ling's words came out, Liang Dong knew what he meant, and now with the protection of General Di's ten thousand men, the emperor naturally didn't pay so much attention to their group. If Liang Dong didn't restrain himself at this time, maybe he would really be cleaned up.
Liang Dong is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, and he naturally stopped at Leng Ling's words, nodded lightly, and responded.
As soon as Liang Dong walked out of the barracks, a team of sergeants immediately greeted him, and the leading pro-army came directly and asked, "Excuse me, is it Lord Liang Dong?"
"Hmm!" Liang Dong nodded lightly, scanning the blood stains on the surface of their clothes, knowing in his heart that these people had just experienced a fight, and it seemed that the emperor still attached great importance to himself if they could be sent here at this time.
"Please follow me!" the pro-soldier politely led the way, Liang Dong followed behind him, and the remaining sergeant had already gone on patrol on his own.
Along the way, Liang Dong found that although there was not much sound in the barracks, there were a lot of sergeants patrolling back and forth, and there were several wolf dogs in some places, and the entire Wusheng Pass was extremely heavily guarded.
