From the north of Chang'an Mansion in Zhongzhou to Qingyang Mansion in Xizhou, it is 500 miles away. If there is an emergency, Pegasus can arrive in one day.

Wang Yue and them didn't need to be in such a hurry, they just needed to travel normally.

So a day later, they just traveled north to Jingyang County.

Jingyang County belongs to Chang'an Mansion, located in the middle of the ancient Qindi, the hinterland of "eight hundred miles of Qinchuan", because the city is located in the north of the Jing River, and the north of the water in the south of the mountain is the yang, so it is called Jingyang. Its name was first seen in "Poetry, Xiaoya, June", "Bandit Ru, the whole house is scorched, the pickaxe and the fang, as for Jingyang." ”

It has always been an important place in Gyeonggi and a famous area of Sanfu, with superior natural conditions, a long history and beautiful scenery, Jingyang County has always been a bridgehead to defend the north of Chang'an City, and its military and political significance is naturally quite significant.

The Qin Wangfu also had very strict control over Jingyang County, north of Chang'an City, and directly stationed a garrison force of 3,000 people here, not only to guard the northern gateway of Chang'an City, but also to control the Jing River, one of the two northern waters of the "Eight Waters Around Chang'an".

It can be said that once Jingyang County is lost, then the enemy from the north can borrow both land and water routes and directly kill at the foot of Chang'an City.

Of course, Wang Yue and them didn't want to attack Jingyang County, and there were only twelve of them, although the twelve people were all masters, but to attack a heavily guarded county town, it was completely a fool's dream.

They bought horses and carriages about ten miles north of Chang'an City, and the five children all rode around, while Wang Yuehe personally drove the carriage and carried the six daughters.

At this moment, the horses and carriages were staying at the south gate of Jingyang County, waiting for the soldiers guarding the city to check and pass.

Although Chang'an City is under martial law, everyone can only enter and not exit, but there is no martial law in Jingyang County, and there is still an endless stream of people coming and going at the city gate, and even many people have to prepare to cross the river at the Jinghe Wharf not far from the city gate to the south bank.

Wang Yue and them crossed the river from the pontoon bridge on the edge of the pier.

At this moment, it is the middle of October, in late autumn, the Jing River water has dried up a lot, in the autumn wind, the Jing River wharf not far from the city gate is very lively, people come and go.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with the Five Merchants Alliance, and after some inspection, they were finally allowed to pass.

After all, Wang Yue and a few people were richly dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, and they were superior people at first glance, and those defenders generally would not offend such nobles, so they naturally let them go after a hasty inspection.

Jingyang County is not big, and it is getting late now, so Wang Yue and them went directly to find a place to stay.

There was nothing to say that night, and as soon as the city gate was opened at dawn the next day, Wang Yue and them went directly north.

It had been a month since they left Qizhou City. This month's work is enough to produce many big changes.

Especially when they checked into the hotel tonight, from the shopkeeper to the diners, they were all talking about the recent attacks on many state capitals, counties, towns and villages in Xizhou, which made Wang Yuehe feel that they could not delay any longer.

Nearly 30 days ago, since the Red Pink Gang attacked Qingyang Yue's house at night and almost slaughtered the Yue family, in the past month, the situation in Qingyang Mansion is quite calm, whether it is the Qingyang Zhou family or the Red Pink Gang are restraining themselves, and the two sides have not clashed much, but during this period of time, all parts of Xizhou have been frequently attacked by bandits, even in the last ten days, more than a dozen prefectures, counties, towns, towns and villages have been attacked by bandits.

Although Wang Yue and them are all masters, they will not be afraid of those thieves at all, but there are many bandits in this continent, so whether there are any people behind the scenes behind this is fueling the troubles, which is worth scrutinizing.

Ten days ago, when Wang Yuelong and Liu Feifang went to Yongning Fort to investigate, they came to a similar conclusion as Wang Yuehe. As for who the mastermind behind the scenes would be, Wang Yuelong did not have a clear answer at the beginning, and now Wang Yuehe has no answer in his heart.

However, Wang Yuehe felt that if they could rush to Qingyang Mansion, then it would be possible to find the answer from it.

And not far after Wang Yue and them left Jingyang County, in a mountain col, a group of people lurking here, waiting for the outpost they sent to convey the news they had just found to their leader.

"Boss, the fat sheep is already in his pocket!" said the sentry to his bearded leader, who patted his head, but asked the white-faced scholar beside him, "Strategist, the fat sheep is in his pocket, are we now?"

As he spoke, he pulled his hand across his neck, his face full of flesh, and he looked hideous and bloodthirsty.

The white-faced scholar-like military advisor just closed his eyes and pinched his fingers for a long time, and then he didn't open his eyes, just shook his head and said: "Don't be in a hurry, the prey is in the pocket after all, and those who can't escape can't escape." ”

Since the commander said so, the bearded leader could only suppress the restlessness in his heart, and ordered the outpost spies to continue to observe the movements of the fat sheep, and at the same time told the brothers who were in ambush before and after to be uneasy.

Of course, there wasn't much ink in his stomach, and the leader of a completely reckless man couldn't say such things, these were all taught to him by the white-faced scholar's military advisor.

Wang Yuehe and his entourage didn't know that there were already people in front of them who regarded them as fat sheep and were ready to rob them. They are still walking on this mountain road without hurrying at the moment.

It's just that Wang Yuehe, who is quite vigilant by nature, ordered the five young generals who were guarding the surroundings on horseback early to prepare their respective weapons so that they could deal with anything that might happen at any time.

And while he was driving the carriage, he quietly spread his spirit, completely covering the distance of ten zhang around the carriage, and he would find out as soon as there was any movement.

They walked along the mountain road all the way to the mountain pass, but at this moment, the silence on the road was extraordinarily quiet, and an indescribable sense of depression always shrouded Wang Yuehe's heart. He always had the feeling that maybe there would be a fierce battle ahead, waiting for his group.
