The silvery moonlight spreads on the grassland, the north wind blows, and there is a solemn look.
Yang Jun and a group of generals gathered around, back to back, holding the long sword tightly in their hands, looking coldly at Bodu who was acting coquettishly opposite, and said.
"At this point, don't you think it's ridiculous that you still pretend to be a victim?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the flying arrow in my tent tonight was your work, right?"
"Also, my journey out of the camp was so smooth. Your help is indispensable during this process, right?"
"Pa bang bang"...
Under the silent night sky, a burst of applause sounded.
Bodu looked at Yang Jun opposite him calmly and said.
"It is said that General Yang Er acted recklessly and impulsively. Now it seems that the rumors may not be true. It is a pity that if the general had woken up earlier, he would not have reached this point."
This is considered to be an admission that this whole thing is a trap set by Bodu.
Yang Jun let out a long breath, tightened his grip on the long knife in his hand, and asked in a deep voice.
"What is your purpose?"
This time, it was indeed Yang Jun's misjudgment. In other words, it was not actually a misjudgment. He had already anticipated this result when he made up his mind to act.
To put it bluntly, this was a big gamble, and the bet was that Yang Jie had someone else to help them.
Now, it's just a lost bet.
Be willing to admit defeat. On the battlefield, there is never any need to regret.
Therefore, the last question is, what does Bodu want after he has gone to great lengths to set up this situation?
Seeing Yang Jun's posture, Bodu knew that the other party was ready to fight desperately. He shook his head, pointed to the southeast, and said.
"Hasn't the general been asking where Governor Yang Zhen is?"
"Southeast, fifteen miles from here!"
In this case, Bodu obviously had no need to deceive Yang Jun, but when he said this at this time, he definitely had no good intentions.
The vigilance in his heart has not relaxed at all, Yang Jun said.
"what do you want?"
"General Yang Er is indeed a quick talker."
At this point, Bodu naturally had no need to hide it anymore and spoke directly.
"Since the general is here on behalf of the imperial court, I think he should have brought the imperial edict from His Majesty the Great Emperor. Please show me the edict. I will assume that what happened today has not happened. In addition, I will also send troops.
Escort the general to see the envoy Yang Zhen."
Imperial decree?
Yang Jun frowned. When his elder brother asked him to come over, he didn't give him any imperial edict.
If anything...
Yang Jun glanced at Liu San beside him in an imperceptible manner, and Yang Jun said coldly to Bodu.
"Since it is His Majesty's will, how can it be revealed to others lightly?"
"After I see my fourth brother and confirm that he is fine, I will naturally let you see the imperial edict."
Yang Jun didn't know whether this so-called imperial edict existed, but at this point, this was probably their only chance to escape.
Therefore, he had no choice but to make a fool of himself for the time being, hoping to delay it.
However, Bodu was obviously not that easy to deceive. After hearing Yang Jun's words, his face suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of sinisterness in his tone as he said.
"It seems that General Yang Er has not yet understood your current situation."
"Although you are here with an order, my Grand Master and all the nobles also treat you with courtesy, without any disrespect. This is known to everyone."
"But, General Yang Er, you don't appreciate me at all. You attacked and killed my soldiers guarding the Wala camp, and then escaped at night and disappeared without a trace..."
"With so many corpses as witnesses, I think even if this explanation was presented to the Ming Dynasty court, His Majesty the Emperor would have nothing to say, right?"
At this point, with a "squeak" sound, Bodu pulled out the scimitar from his waist. The blade of the sword shone in the moonlight, and Bodu looked at Yang Jun coldly and said.
"General Yang Er, what I want is just the imperial decree from His Majesty the Great Emperor."
"So, even if I kill you and then conduct a search, it will still be the same. You don't want to toast or eat and you will be punished with wine!"
Faced with these threatening words, Yang Jun just raised the knife in his hand.
He did not look back to ask Liu San's imperial edict whether it existed or not. By now, it no longer mattered whether it existed or not.
If Bodu really wanted nothing more than an imperial edict, then whether they handed it over or not, they would not be able to leave alive.
If he wants something else besides the imperial edict, then he cannot hand it over.
Although Liu San came forward and took out the secret letter outside the camp, after all, it was Yang Jun who was leading the team. At that time, Bodu felt that Liu San was one of his personal guards and would not care too much.
.
Once the war starts, he will definitely focus on himself, but Yang Jun himself knows that if this imperial edict really exists, then it must be on Liu San.
Since even the eldest brother did not reveal the existence of this imperial edict to him, it means that this imperial edict is probably Xiaojie's hope of escaping from Wala, and it may even be more likely to stir up the situation in the grassland.
key.
Therefore, in a short period of time, Yang Jun has clearly weighed the pros and cons. He can die today, but once the war starts, he must find an opportunity to cover Liu San's escape. As long as he can see Xiaojie safely, I believe that with Xiaojie
With Jie's ability, he will definitely be able to escape.
Looking up at Bodu opposite, Yang Jun smiled boldly and shouted.
"Then come on!"
"Let's see how many lives of your men I, Yang, can take away before I die!"
This sentence obviously means preparation for a fight to the death.
Bodu's face became more and more gloomy, and he said with a hint of embarrassment.
"Okay, General Yang is a hero among the soldiers. I admire him very much."
"This time the general came out of the camp and killed forty-two soldiers in my camp. So, it's not too much to ask the general to take back forty-two lives!"
As he spoke, Bodu raised the scimitar in his hand high and shouted loudly.
"Get the bow!"
Following Bodu's words, the Oara cavalry present all raised their big bows, bent their bows and nocked arrows. At the same time, Yang Jun and others were also ready to fight.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Your Excellency, please wait..."
Bodu frowned and saw an ordinary-looking sergeant walking out from behind Yang Jun. He was also considered to have a good memory. He suddenly remembered that this man was the one who showed him the secret letter outside the camp.
people.
As a result, Bodu's thoughts changed and he immediately shifted his gaze to Yang Jun and said meaningfully.
"It seems that I am blind, but I didn't expect that the person who really calls the shots is not General Yang Er, but this person?"
The person who stood up was none other than Liu San.
After saying this, Liu San stepped forward and came to Yang Jun.
Looking at Liu San in front of him, Yang Jun suddenly became angry and roared in a low voice.
"What are you doing? Do you know..."
"General, please trust me!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu San raise his head and look at him firmly.
Yang Jun frowned and lowered his voice.
"You know, the imperial edict is of great importance. I don't know who you are, but if the imperial edict falls into the hands of Bodu, it will be a big sin for you and me!"
However, Liu San remained unmoved and just repeated.
"General, please believe me!"
Yang Jun's expression changed for a while, and finally, he nodded slightly and said.
"Forget it, as of now, I'm not afraid of death, so what else do I have to be afraid of!"
Seeing this situation, Liu San solemnly performed a military salute and said.
"Thank you General!"
After that, he stood up, turned to face Batu opposite, and said.
"Your Excellency, the imperial edict you want does exist."
"As the general said just now, this imperial edict must be delivered to the hands of Young Master Yang."
"So, if you really want it, please take us to see the Fourth Young Master first."
Bodu watched the two people on the other side communicating for a long time, thinking that the other party was planning to compromise, but in the end, this was the result.
His face became visibly ugly, and he gritted his teeth.
"Are you kidding me?"
At this moment, the sharp arrows in the hands of the Wara cavalry were still on the strings, and they were full of intimidation. If their hands were only slightly loosened, the lives of those present would be lost.
However, facing this situation, Liu San just shook his head and said.
"I'm telling the truth. Even if you kill all of us, you still won't get what you want. What you want has been hidden by me for a long time. Unless you see the Fourth Young Master himself, otherwise, Your Excellency
It can never be obtained."
"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to search us to see if you can get what you want."
This calm look surprised Bodu and Yang Jun at the same time.
Bodu was surprised that the other party was already prepared, while Yang Jun was surprised that when did this kid hide?
Looking at Liu San opposite him coldly, Bodu pondered for a moment and said.
"These days, there are people watching your every move all the time. In other words, if you want to hide the imperial edict, you can only hide it in the camp."
"I'll kill you, then return to the camp and dig three feet into the ground. I won't believe that I can't find the imperial edict!"
Facing the threat from Bodu, Liu San remained unmoved and just said:
"If you really think so, please order someone to shoot the arrow!"
This sentence suddenly made the atmosphere present become tense again.
Yang Jun and others also held their knives tightly and prepared for battle.
However, Bedu's order to release arrows never came down.
His expression was uncertain for a while, but at the end, he looked up at Yang Jun and said.
"Come here, search them!"
As a result, dozens of Wala soldiers dismounted and slowly moved toward Yang Jun and others to surround them.
Seeing this situation, the general beside Yang Jun asked in a low voice.
"General, what should we do?"
Yang Jun also looked a little hesitant, but obviously, now is not the time to hesitate. He gritted his teeth and decided to believe Liu San, saying.
"Put down your weapons and let them search!"
In this case, laying down your weapons is tantamount to letting others slaughter you.
However, we can only take a gamble.
The generals from the Yang family who came this time were all loyal people and obeyed the orders. After Yang Jun finished speaking, although they had doubts in their hearts, they still put down their weapons as instructed.
The search was not troublesome. Since Yang Jun and others did not resist, it was naturally very quick.
In just one stick of incense, everyone including Yang Jun and Liu San were searched. Then, the Wala soldiers in charge of the search came to Bedu and whispered a few words. The next moment, Bedu's
His face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Nothing at all?"
"Do you believe it now?"
Seeing this situation, Liu San calmly spoke and said.
"Actually, I said at the beginning that the only things you can see are the things I gave you that day. As for the rest, you will not be able to find them unless you see the Fourth Young Master."
"Of course, you can also kill us and then go back to the camp to investigate carefully. It's up to you."
Bodu's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand and took out a secret letter from his chest. It was the same letter Liu San took out when they first met.
Shaking the secret letter in his hand, Bodu looked at Liu San and said.
"You are reminding me, don't forget that you are people of the Ming Dynasty. If you really regard death as your own, why do you do this?"
"Your Excellency has misunderstood. We have never asked for death. It has always been Your Excellency who wanted to kill us."
Liu San still did not panic and continued.
"I just believe that you will not do anything unprofitable."
Bodu's face darkened.
Of course he understood the meaning of this sentence. Although he had spent so much time setting up the trap these days, Yang Jun finally couldn't hold it back and took the initiative to escape at night. He had created a trap for himself that could kill the other party.
reason.
However, killing Yang Jun was not his purpose. His purpose was to get the imperial edict carried by these people.
Now that the imperial edict has not been obtained, killing these people will be more than worth the gain.
After all, although Yang Jun took the initiative to flee, Wala was justified in this matter, but there was no guarantee that the matter could be resolved peacefully.
If we get the imperial edict, then everything will be easy to say, but now we don't have it, and we will take such risks again...
After weighing it in his mind for a moment, Bodu gave a few instructions to the people around him. Then, his cold face suddenly changed to a warm smile and said.
"General Yang Er, this subordinate, is really sharp-tongued, but why is this necessary?"
"The Grand Master and I just thought that you have come all the way and it's been a long journey, so we want to entertain you for a few days and then take you to see the Fourth Young Master."
"But I never thought that General Yang Er was so impatient and caused such a big misunderstanding. It is really a pity."
At the same time as he said these words, the people around Bedu went to convey the order. After a while, the cavalry present also put away their weapons.
Seeing this situation, Yang Jun and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, paused briefly, and said, Yang Jun.
"In that case, please take us to see our fourth brother!"
Bodu's eyes flashed, but the smile on his face was still enthusiastic, and he said.
"Since the general is so insistent, then I can't stop the general and brothers from meeting each other."
"but……"
His eyes fell on Liu San who was retreating into the distance, Bodu said.
"Just now, the general, a subordinate, said that the imperial edict has been hidden and will not be taken out until he sees the Fourth Young Master."
"If that's the case, then we might as well divide our troops into two groups. I'll take the general to see the Fourth Young Master, and send another group of people to follow this...this general to get the imperial edict. How about that?"
The little thought behind these words can be seen through at a glance.
Yang Jun glanced at Liu San, who still had a straight face and said.
"How to obtain the imperial edict, I don't need you to worry about it. You will figure it out when you meet the Fourth Young Master."
"Of course, if you want to arrest me and torture me, I will obey your order."
Bodu's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Liu San opposite him coldly.
However, it only took a moment before he regained his smile and said.
"What is this general saying? I just have good intentions. Since you don't need it, then follow me and go to see the Fourth Young Master together!"
