Chapter 311: Song (1)
"Woo ......" Liang Dong looked through the gap between the wooden planks and saw a general in iron armor with a hundred cavalry, coming to the ruined temple. As soon as the general stretched out his hand, all the men stopped their horses.
The tip of the bow and arrow in Liang's hand was pointed directly at the general, and if there was a slight change, he would attack the general at the first opportunity.
As if sensing something, the general turned his head, stared at Liang Dong through the cracks in the wood, smiled softly, and then jumped off his horse. The next moment, all the sergeants jumped down at the same time, and their movements were uniform, and at a glance they knew that this was a strong army.
I saw that the general's face was full of seriousness, and he walked a few steps forward, and when he walked to the temple gate, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice at the same time: "Minister, the commander of the Xinyang Army, I ask to see the saint." ”
As soon as he heard this voice, the emperor, who was protected by Liang Dong and Zhou Wan'er, immediately laughed, he was full of excitement and walked out of Liang Dong and Zhou Wan'er, and said to everyone with a smile: "It's Di Qing, it's Di Qing here!"
It's General Di, it's General Di of Wushengguan, why did he come in person. Seeing that the emperor was about to rush out of the temple gate alone, Leng Lingqi and Chai Ming glanced at each other, followed closely behind the emperor, and guarded his safety, with the ability of the two of them, even if General Di really had bad intentions, he could protect the emperor's safety.
Liang Dong carefully hid in the shadows, his eyes carefully inspecting each of the subordinates brought by General Di. As for General Di, he is no longer worried now, with Leng Ling abandoning and chasing his life to protect the emperor, General Di only has a slight move, and he will be taken down immediately. What needs to be paid attention now is General Di's subordinates to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters.
Liang Dong is not only alone, but also ruthless, she is also very vigilant and looks at everyone in the audience. Zhuge Zheng has already died for the emperor, and now that it has reached the last moment, there must be no more problems.
General Di looked at the man and woman hiding in the shadow of the ruined temple with some surprise, at this time they were still so cautious, it was really not easy for the saint to escape all the way to come here!
Looking at the excited emperor who couldn't help himself, looking at his former childhood friend, General Di endured the sentimentality in his heart, put the long knife in front of him, knelt on one knee, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Wechen meet the saint!
"Long live the saint, long live, long live!" Seeing General Di fall to the ground, all the sergeants he brought behind him also fell to the ground on one knee at the same time, and the mountain shouted Long live!
"Aiqing, please get up!" the emperor suppressed his excitement and hurriedly helped General Di up. General Di's statement means that the entire Xinyang army of more than 10,000 troops are all under his hands, with the Xinyang army as the fulcrum, in the name of the emperor, General Jiadi's prestige can completely through the Xinyang army, step by step the entire southern part of the Great Song Dynasty in his hands. He can even develop his influence to the northern region, even if the imperial court vigorously denies his existence, it can also make the northern armies stay on the sidelines.
Now the whole situation has begun to slowly tilt towards the emperor's side, at least the emperor can be in an invincible position, sitting in the south and north, and the rest is to lead the army back to Beijing and quell the rebellion.
Thinking of this, the emperor clenched his fists tightly, he looked at the slightly gray hair on the sideburns in front of him, and couldn't help but say with some emotion: "I haven't seen Di Qing for several years, but I didn't expect Aiqing to be old!"
"Garrison the city pass for the saint, the minister has no complaints and no regrets!" General Di's voice was extremely sincere and heartfelt.
Hearing General Di say this, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but be a little red, he had experienced too many hardships along the way, and danger was always behind him, if it weren't for Leng Lingqi and a group of people chasing his life, as well as his mentor Zhuge Zhengme, Jia Liang moved to clear the rest of them, it was really hard to say whether the emperor would have come here alive.
The emperor couldn't help but pat General Di on the shoulder, and said with deep feeling: "I'm sorry for you!"
General Di bowed slightly, showing his respect for the emperor, and prepared to step aside and let the emperor lecture the soldiers.
The emperor smiled lightly, walked over and stood side by side with General Di, facing many soldiers, he said loudly: "All the soldiers are ...... flat."
When the emperor's words were about to fall, suddenly, two miles away from the abandoned temple, a crisp arrow pierced the night sky, and a long arrow passed like a meteor, hitting the emperor's chest directly.
Liang Dong immediately noticed that someone was moving, and the other party shot an arrow and turned to run, Liang Dong didn't have a lot of scruples at this time, and the bow of revenge that he had held for a long time in his hand instantly shot a piercing arrow and collided with the attacking long arrow.
The speed of the long arrow was extremely fast, and before Liang moved the second arrow, an arrow had already cut the long arrow shot by Liang Dong directly, and the arrow was not weak at all towards the emperor's chest.
The ruthless reaction was not slow, and when the long arrow hit within ten meters of the emperor's body, more than ten hidden weapons attacked the long arrow at the same time, constantly hitting the side of the long arrow, forcing it to change direction.
Liang Dong's arrow power is ruthless, with his level can not cause any hindrance to the attacking long arrow, ruthless has no confidence that she can do that, so she used a relatively clever way, using the power of hidden weapons to force the long arrow to turn.
Although he had said so much, the time was indeed extremely short, only a few breaths, and he had not even reacted when the long arrow struck the emperor in front of him. Liang Dong and Ruthless, the two people with keen spiritual senses, could only have time to deliver a single blow, as for the two people in the back, Chasing Life and Leng Lingqi, although they had already discovered the situation, because the existence of General Di just now made them a little distracted for a while, which gave the assassin such an opportunity.
It is also impossible not to say that this assassin is definitely a top master, his archery skills, cultivation is not weak at all, and even the timing is extremely appropriate, because an opportunity like the one before will only appear once in the whole night, but such an opportunity was firmly grasped by him.
The ruthless strength is not bad at all, and his method is extremely ingenious, when the long arrow pierces the front of the emperor's body, it has already deviated to the left side of his body, even if it can shoot the emperor, it will kill him.
At this time, a sharp long knife suddenly slashed from the side, and the sword light swung down, and the long arrow was knocked out several meters away with a single sword, without hurting the emperor at all.
The long arrow was slashed to the ground, but the arrow's strength did not subside, and after being inserted into the ground, it shot deep into the ground, leaving only a black hole in the ground, and I did not know how deep this hole was.
After General Di slashed out an arrow, he quickly stood in front of the emperor, blocked the dark arrow that might be shot at any time for him, stared straight at the place where the dark arrow hit in the distance, his face was gloomy, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's Yuan Xi!"
The long arrow just now struck and made the emperor shiver all over his body, and he was still a little afraid. Hearing General Di say this, he frowned and asked suspiciously, "Who is Yuan Xi?"
"Yuan Xi is the deputy commander of the Xinyang Army, who was transferred from the Hebei Army half a year ago, and is Cai Thief's man. In the past six months, he has been in the army to win over all forces, trying to control the entire Xinyang Army in his hands. Saying this, General Di turned around and knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The minister is guilty, and the minister is not able to protect him." If it weren't for the minister's transfer of troops out of the customs tonight that attracted his attention, I'm afraid he wouldn't have given him such an opportunity. ”
At this time, Chasing Life and Leng Lingqi had already chased towards the place where the long arrow was fired, so they were not worried that there would be a hidden arrow shooting. And with General Di here, plus hundreds of sergeants under him, I'm afraid no one will dare to assassinate the king again.
"I don't blame you for this!" the emperor gently patted General Di's shoulder and said in a low voice: "I am also at fault, if it wasn't for my negligence, how could such a person be placed in the Xinyang Army." Alright, get up!"
"Thank you!" General Di bowed deeply again, and then stood up again.
The emperor smiled lightly, and said to the sergeants below, "All the armies are also flat!"
"Thank you!" Many of the soldiers who were originally kneeling on the ground got up at the same time, and without General Di making any further arrangements, they immediately unsheathed their swords and surrounded the emperor and General Di tightly.
"Sheng, let's go back to Wusheng Pass first, the minister is a little worried that Yuan Xi will take the opportunity to make trouble. General Di clenched his fists and asked the emperor in a deep voice.
"Good!" the emperor nodded immediately, the Xinyang Army was now his only bargaining chip, and there must be no mistakes.
In this way, under the command of General Di, his sergeants gave up more than a dozen horses to the emperor and ruthless and other cadres, and General Di even gave up his own mount to the emperor, and then under the protection of the army, he went towards Wusheng Pass.
Liang Dong and Ruthless followed the emperor closely, and Liang Dong clenched his longbow in his hand, beware of the killing machine that might come back at any time.
The night temple is desolate, only the furnace fire of the temple is still hot, and the five figures don't know when they gather in the ruined temple.
