Chapter 535: Returning like an arrow, murderous intent looming
When he went there, he checked the military equipment of each fort along the border wall, and either stopped or conducted an in-depth investigation. Even if he just took a quick look, it still took a lot of time along the way. However, Xu Xun didn't have so much trouble on the way back. He still passed through the city.
If you don't enter, you will travel day and night, and no longer take the border post road, but the official road in the hinterland of the border town. Therefore, only thirty guards are selected to travel on the post, and they must travel about three hundred miles every day.
He only slept for three hours and spent the rest of the time on the horse. Although this speed was not as fast as four hundred and six hundred miles for special urgent military intelligence documents, it was still quite astonishing. When he spent seven or eight days, this afternoon
When he finally entered the south entrance of Juyong Pass, he breathed a long sigh of relief after being exhausted physically and mentally.
Although there are many explanations for the word "Guan Guan", for now, entering Juyong Pass means that you are really about to go home. Xuanfu is less than three hundred miles from the capital, and he will not arrive at Mao hour today
Just set off from the inn outside Xuanfu City. Depending on the situation, he should be able to enter the capital before sunset - of course, even if the city gate is closed, he still has to enter the city even if he takes the gondola!
Guangou in Juyongguan is the military capital of the famous Eight Peaks of Taihang. Although the eight sceneries of Yanjing today were added by Li Dongyang's wonderful pen to the ten sceneries poem, two items, the autumn wind in the south and the rain in the eastern suburbs, were added.
It has become one of the ten scenic spots in Yanjing, but Juyong's greenery is still among the ten and enjoys a high reputation. After passing Beiguan, walking in the Guangou with mountains and greenery on both sides, even at noon, the temperature is unavoidable
The ground gradually rose, but Xu Xun still felt a little relaxed and happy, and couldn't help but slow down for a while.
His slowness naturally caused others to rein in their horses. Cao Mi was still staying in Ningxia this time. At this moment, Cao Qian followed him and rode up. Seeing Xu Xun looking up at the mountains and trees on both sides thoughtfully, he
Then he said: "Sir, this has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. When the Mongols destroyed the Jin Dynasty, they entered this pass. Later, when we founded the Ming Dynasty, King Zhongshan and King Kaiping led the troops to rebuild Juyong Pass. We passed here before.
I also checked the armaments when I was there, but they were much better than those fortresses on other sides."
"In Kinki, if you don't even do the superficial tricks to fool us, it would be unreasonable. What's more..." Xu Xun remembered that after the Battle of Yutailing the year before last, Wang Shouren had gone to Juyongguan to reorganize armaments, and then remembered that people had already
He was sent far away to Longchangyi in Guizhou, and his father Wang Hua also moved to Nanjing. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Just as he was in a daze, Jiang Bin suddenly galloped over.
"Sir, there seems to be something wrong with this road." When Jiang Bin saw Cao Qian frowning at him, he didn't care. He only said in a more serious tone, "This road is the main road from Gyeonggi to the northwest. On weekdays, there should be cars and horses.
There should be an endless stream, but after we came out of Juyong Pass, we passed many carriages and horses that set off to the capital early in the morning, but the carriages and horses that came were almost invisible. But those who entered the pass before
At that time, no one mentioned what happened before."
As soon as Jiang Bin said this, Xu Xun, who had only thought about entering Juyong Pass and heading to the capital, immediately realized this, and Cao Qian's face was even more solemn. He didn't even wait for Xu Xun to speak before he immediately suggested: "Sir
, Since Jiang Guerbi said this, there are two ways now. One is to send people to explore the way ahead, and the other is to return to Juyongguan immediately and have people send additional troops and horses to escort us back to Beijing. I suggest you use the latter method. After all, we
There are only about thirty people in this trip, so it would be unwise to divide the troops hastily."
Jiang Bin or Cao Qian, although one has only been with him for a few months and the other has only been with him for a year, Xu Xun naturally trusts their judgment. He is always eager to return home in public and private affairs, but because of his impatience
And if someone took advantage of the loophole, the gain would outweigh the loss. In addition, he had deliberately exposed the loophole and let Jiangshan Fei stab him once before. The feeling was already frightening. Now he really didn't want to try it a second time, so he only hesitated for a moment.
, he said decisively: “Okay, turn around and go back to Juyongguan!”….
The two sides of the Guangou are majestic and steep, and the weather is now the season when the trees are lush and green, so it is extremely easy to hide a person. Therefore, when a man who was lying in wait on the mountain found that the group of people actually turned their horses.
As he galloped back, he couldn't help being stunned, and hurriedly used the bronze mirror to reflect the message. But seeing the group of people going at a fast speed, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he would not be able to catch up this time. For a moment, there were lights and shadows in the forest.
Looking forward to it, after sending messages all the way, when Bai Ying at the temporary inspection checkpoint at Mizoguchi saw the reflection in the forest, he also faced the many intercepted carriages, horses and officials before.
He didn't change his expression, but now his heart suddenly sank.
Why did Xu Xun and his group suddenly turn back, and where did the flaw appear? If they had gone further, they could have blown up the rocks to block the back road and catch turtles in an urn, but it seems difficult now!
"Dear fellow villagers, the fallen trees and rocks on the official road will be cleared away in a while. Please wait patiently for a while!"
Listening to the tall and thin patrolman shouting to appease the people traveling from Gyeonggi Province, Bai Ying thought about it and finally made up her mind. After the successful alliance in Baiyangdian, he was certainly regarded as a leader.
The leader of the alliance is still far from the goal of uniting the men who are struggling to make a living. What is even more unbelievable is that Dao Feng from Ma Touzhai suddenly became more popular. I thought they were just a mob, but these people actually
He successively annexed many thieves from several neighboring states and counties, and then directly issued a letter of war to Yang Hu. If he had followed Yang Hu's suggestion, he should have dealt with the bandits who were in the way first. But now Xu Xun
To reach the capital, if he returns safely, don't even think about having such an opportunity in the future.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless civil uprisings instigated by the White Lotus Sect, but the only one that really shocked the world was the one at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was a general trend, to say the least. Now that Liu Jin is using cronyism to reform the old system, the world is full of complaints, no matter what he provokes
If two tigers are fighting each other, or if there is really no one in the court who can control Liu Jin except Xu Xun, the court will inevitably become more corrupt, and it is not impossible to take over the world by then!
Therefore, he walked slowly to the sweating inspector and said in a low voice: "Inspector Chai, maybe there are still people on the road here who are blocked and unable to move. Why don't you take someone to inform him and let him know?"
They should not be anxious. They also asked Inspector Chai to write a handwritten letter with Pindao. Pindao might as well go to Juyongguan on the way and explain it to the generals, asking them to send troops and horses, so it can be sorted out quickly."
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Taoist priest, for your kindness!"
The tall and thin patrol inspector was obsessed with the fact that such an unfortunate thing happened on his territory, and his scalp was numb from complaints all morning. At this moment, he felt lucky to have such a walking tourist.
The Taoist priest discovered it early, and now he is still able to clear things up quickly. While worrying about how to report this matter later, he naturally nodded repeatedly to the proposal of this enthusiastic Taoist priest. After he wrote the handwritten letter and handed it to Bai Ying, and when Bai Ying passed,
He then raised his voice and once again began to comfort the carriages and horses he had stopped.
Along the way, Bai Ying gently and deftly jumped over dozens of trees and rocks rolling down the official road, and then moved forward a short distance. Bai Ying smoothly met up with the men who had been deployed in the dense forests on both sides.
Bai Ying didn't plan to take action personally this time, but since something went wrong at this time, he was asking for the whole story, and judged that Xu Xun and others, whether they discovered something or there was something else, they turned back to Juyong Pass.
He stood in silence for a long time and then ordered the others to retreat for the time being, but he himself spread his legs and strode towards Juyongguan.
Bai Ying has practiced Qi and martial arts since she was a child. Although she is now fifty years old, she is dressed as a Taoist priest and looks like an immortal, with an air of transcendence. At this moment, there are many carriages and horses on the road east from Juyongguan.
, whenever someone sees him take one step ahead of others, and his face is not red or out of breath, most people think that this is a land god. When the person stops and comes forward to say yes.
The road ahead was blocked, so I hurriedly thanked you...
She didn't know how long she had been walking, but Bai Ying suddenly stopped. Then she knelt down on one knee and listened with her ear to the road for a long time. Then she stood up and stood calmly in the middle of the road. After a while, the horse's hooves
The sound came from far and near, and in a moment, bursts of smoke and dust were raised in the distance of the official road.
Xu Xun and his party suddenly turned back to Juyong Pass, which shocked Wu Shou, the commander of Juyong Pass. After hearing what Jiang Bin and Cao Qian said, he did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately allocated 300 troops to Xu Xun's retinue.
Sent one of his most trusted commanders, Qian Shi, to lead the team. Jiang Bin and Cao Qian were on alert along the way, and even Xu Xun himself looked thoughtfully at the mountain roads on both sides from time to time. This speed was the same as before.
The lightning speed of three hundred miles is naturally different. Therefore, after the front team received a report that someone was blocking the road in the middle of the road, as the team stopped, Xu Xun felt that a group of guards had firmly blocked him in the middle.
.
"The imperial envoy Ping Beibo returns to Beijing, who dares to stand in the way?"
"Bai Fang, a poor man, went to Juyongguan to report the news on the orders of Chai, the patrol inspector at the front. For some unknown reason, rocks and trees fell on the official road ahead, blocking the access, so that the carriages and horses coming from the capital in the east could not pass.
The Inspection Department is cleaning up urgently, but the progress of the project is very slow, so I asked Pindao to inform me. This is Chai Inspection's handwriting."
Juyongguan is mainly guarding against the rebels in the northwest. Although there are some garrison troops in the Guangou area, their numbers are not large. They are mainly in the Nankou and Beiguan area. At this moment, when a private soldier went to take over the old Taoist
When the letter came out and was immediately delivered to Xu Xun, he took out the letter and took a look at it. He saw that the signature was indeed for Wu Shou, the commander of Juyong Pass. He thoughtfully handed it to the commander who was escorting him next to him and asked him.
After saying a few words, he came to the front surrounded by a group of guards.
After sizing up the immortal Taoist priest, Xu Xun asked in a deep voice: "It hasn't rained in the Gyeonggi area in the past few days. How come there are trees falling down and rocks falling?"
