Chapter 108 Four Little Armored Out of Anlu (Monthly Pass)
Chapter 108: Four little boys in armor leave Anlu (please vote for me)
Dao Chi stroked the knife on his waist and looked at the lambs in the corner through the window screen. The knife had been sharpened, but no blood was seen.
Lu Bing brought his sheep over, not just for Lu Wei's prank. Otherwise, as long as he told Fan, someone would teach Lu Wei a lesson. Although Lu Wei was more naughty, he could treat Fan
He was willing to listen to what he said. He probably saw Lu Song’s intention and couldn’t bear it, so he found an excuse to send it over.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of "tapping" footsteps outside.
"Second brother, second brother!" Lu Bing's voice was urgent and filled with excitement.
Lu Bingcai left Lequn Courtyard for half an hour, why did he come back?
The Taoist idiot picked out the bamboo curtain and said, "What's wrong, is this?"
Lu Bing's eyes were bright and he said: "Second brother, there are bandits heading north from Jiujiang and passing through Anlu. The palace will dispatch 500 troops tomorrow morning to go out of the city to capture the bandits!"
"Bandit?" Dao Chi was a little confused. Regardless of whether he was a ceremonial guard or a palace guard, the safety of the Suwei Palace was the primary responsibility. Shouldn't the arrest of bandits be under the jurisdiction of the local government?
Lu Bing poured out the details through a bamboo tube like he was pouring beans.
The Taoist idiot knew that Prince Xing's Mansion had been hacked this time. Tens of thousands of refugees who were bandits were passing through like locusts. It didn't take much to think about what they would do to Anlu when they passed by.
If the Huguang Dusi did not send an official document, Prince Xing's Mansion could still wait and see and act according to its ability; but if the official document arrived and Prince Xing's Mansion ignored it, when the court finally investigated the responsibility, someone would inevitably blame the Prince's Mansion.
The prince only pardoned the prince's affairs, but did not formally assume the title. The vassal state was unrest, and although it would not be to the point of extermination, who knows whether it will have any impact on the future.
When the prince came to Beijing to become emperor, he was not yet an adult, which means that Emperor Zhengde will die before September next year. There will still be more than a year at most, so it would be better if there is no change.
Thinking of this, Dao Chi stood up and said, "Master Lu, promised to take us?"
Lu Bing smiled and nodded: "I spent a lot of effort begging for it, and His Highness also nodded."
Dao Chi glanced at Lu Bing and said, "Da Lang is still a little young, so be careful, my aunt is worried!"
After hearing this, Lu Bing glared and said: "Second brother is not allowed to kill the donkey. My skill on horseback is better than that of second brother."
Dao Chi's expression was as usual, but the hand holding the waist knife was trembling slightly. It was not because he was worried, but because he was excited. After practicing sword skills for a year, Lu Song often sighed that he had no chance to lead them in actual combat, and also said that he would take them out of the city when he had the opportunity.
Go practice your skills.
Lu Bing couldn't wait any longer. He took Dao Chi's arm and said, "Second brother, let's go to the Yiwei Department. The waist knives, bows and arrows are all ready-made, but there is no armor yet."
Dao Chi nodded and was about to follow Lu Bing out when he saw Wang Qi standing at the door, looking at the two of them blankly.
Lu Bing's eyes flashed and he laughed twice, but said nothing else.
Dao Chi looked at Wang Qi and said nothing to invite Wang Qi to go with him. Although Wang Qi was studying errands in the Department of Ceremony and Wei, he still had a lazy and hedonistic nature. Even if he wanted to go with him, Dao Chi would persuade him to do so.
Wang Qi just glanced at the two of them and said, "You are still young."
Lu Bing puffed up his chest and said, "Brother Wang Qi, my second brother and I just followed my father to see the world."
Wang Qi still did not step aside, looking at Dao Chi and said: "Erlang, Mr. Lu is going to the Yiwei Department in the future, why are you joining in the fun? If something goes wrong, won't it cost the life of my great-uncle and grandma?"
The Taoist Chi said seriously, "Seventh brother, don't worry. Mr. Lu is here and His Highness is nodding. If there is really danger, they will not take us there."
Although Wang Qi was unwilling, he also knew that if the prince nodded, there would be no room to change things. Thinking of the prince's treatment of Lu Bingru, his brother, he looked at Dao Chi and said: "Then Erlang should protect Mr. Lu more, he also
It’s small.”
Having said that, the thing is to remind some Taoist idiots to follow Lu Bing closely. Whether it is Lu Song or the Crown Prince, they will arrange manpower to look after Lu Bing.
Dao Chi nodded in understanding. Wang Qi said "hehe" twice and said: "Let's go, I will take you to the Department of Ceremony. Last month, fifty pairs of buffalo leather armors were purchased in the warehouse."
Although he smiled, even Lu Bing could see the reluctance in it.
Lu Bingdao: "Brother Wang Qi, don't worry, we will go and come back well."
While talking, several people left the school and went to the Department of Ceremony and Welfare. If you want to withdraw things from the warehouse of the Department of Ceremony and Welfare, you need a warrant from here.
Before waiting for the Yiwei Department, they saw a school captain carrying two pairs of armors and walking towards them. It was Lu Song who ordered them to give the two of them armors. He also sent a message that they would gather at the gate of the palace at the fourth watch tomorrow morning and leave the city at the fifth watch.
Bring your own weapons.
Lu Bing and Dao Chi were excited and received the armor.
Even Wang Qi, who had no interest in martial arts, felt a little excited when he touched the brand-new armor.
This armor is exactly the batch of buffalo leather armor that Wang Qi mentioned earlier that was put into storage last month. It is much lighter than ordinary iron armor and is suitable for immediate use.
The three of them returned to Lequn Courtyard. Dao Chi and Lu Bing couldn't wait to put on their armors.
The armor is slightly larger. Even if it is a small armor, it is still barely enough for a Taoist idiot. For Lu Bing, it is still too rich. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Lu Bing took off his armor and said, "I'm going to the Arms Library to find Uncle Zhao. He can usually repair this, so I asked him to collect it for me." After that, he took the armor and went to the Arms Library.
After he left, Wang Qi frowned and said, "Even Erlang and Lu Xiaozi are going, will the tiger's head not be able to fall off?"
Before he finished speaking, Hu Tou and Chen Chizhong, wearing helmets and armors, entered the courtyard.
Qingfeng, Wufu and Chen Chizhong's servant, picked up their weapons and followed behind.
Wang Qi came out, looked at the two of them, and said, "Have you been to the Arms Library?"
The same two leather armors worn by Dao Chi and Lu Bing were much more powerful when worn by Chen Chizhong and Hu Tou.
Chen Chizhong smiled and said, "Master Xing helped pick out the armor."
Dao Chi stood next to Wang Qi and looked at Hu Tou. Hu Tou was obviously very interested in the new armor. Seeing Dao Chi looking at him, he puffed up his chest and felt a bit happy.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Dao Chi got up early.
I went to call Hu Tou, and the two of them had breakfast together. Even though he had no appetite, Dao Chi ate a lot. There was a bit of expectation in the excitement, and he had to give Hu Tou a few instructions to follow Xing Baihu closely and listen to Xing Bai in everything.
household.
Wang Qi yawned and watched from the side, but did not say anything about being careful, and continued to joke and laugh as usual.
But when Dao Chi and Hu Tou put on their armors, hung up their knives, and went north to bow and arrow quivers, Wang Qi handed over two purses, one for each of them. They were all the same, filled with green plums: "This produces fluids to relieve the heat. If it's daytime,
Use this to refresh yourself during the march."
Dao Chi nodded, while Hu Tou hesitated, took out a handful of lotus seed candies from his purse, and handed them to Wang Qi, making Wang Qi laugh.
Chen Chizhong also had a good meal at this time and came over to wait for Hu Tou and Dao Chi.
Wang Qi did not say goodbye, but said: "Liu Damao will have a good day in a few days, so don't delay it."
Dao Chi and Chen Chizhong just listened with a smile and no one answered. After all, they didn't know when the dispatched ceremonial cavalry would be able to return to the city.
In front of the palace gate, the lights are brightly lit.
Although only five hundred people gathered here, the momentum was no less than that of King Xing when he went out with two or three thousand people.
The captains, wearing helmets and armor and leading their mounts, had a murderous air about them.
With the sound of whips, the Crown Prince, wearing a python suit, came out surrounded by local officials and royal officials.
The guards suddenly became quiet.
The Crown Prince stood there and raised his voice: "The five gangster Jiang brothers are fleeing De'an Mansion, jeopardizing the peace of Anlu. As the crown prince, I have the responsibility to assist the local bandits. It is inconvenient for me to leave the city, and all my hopes for arresting the bandits are with you."
Wait for the brave men. If you have merit in arresting the bandits, not only will you be rewarded based on your merits, but you will also be reported to the court to ask for credit!"
After saying this, there was a burst of cheers from below.
Regardless of whether you are in the Yiwei or the Fuwei, it is not easy to be promoted in the military position during peacetime. Especially the Yiwei side, which belongs to the Jinyiwei system. It would be better if you were in the provincial government of the capital.
Opportunity for merit.
The local ceremonial guard has no serious errands except for the prince's trip, so it would be strange if there is a chance of appreciation.
Now God has opened his eyes and given the opportunity to get ahead, everyone has to be eager to get ahead. Even if the school captain is raised to a small flag, it would be fine. If you are promoted to a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, future generations will have hope.
Each person was given a dry food bag and a water bag, which contained a day's worth of food and water.
In addition to the 500 people from the palace who "assisted in suppressing the bandits", there were 20 people each from the Zhizhou Yamen and the garrison Yamen who went out of the city with the Palace Guards.
More than five hundred riders came out from the palace, left the city through the east gate, went south along the official road, and galloped away...
A hundred miles away, outside Xiaogan County, is Zhengjiazhuang.
In the quiet morning, Zhuangzi, which was originally peaceful and peaceful, heard bursts of noise from time to time.
In the darkness, there was occasionally a woman's scream.
In the large house in the center of Zhengjiazhuang, many people were lying on the floor, snoring. The smell of blood in the air seemed to have not dissipated, but no one cared about it.
Outside the house, dozens of people were standing in the corners, yawning and talking nonsense.
Outside the mansion, most of the people's houses had lights on, and no one dared to sleep. Most of the men blocked their wives and children behind them, and faced outsiders with fear and anger.
If you meet someone who is talkative, you will just give up some money, food and clothes; if you meet someone who is fierce and lustful, the female family members of the family will suffer.
How many good-hearted refugees would arrogantly break into houses and plunder them?
Scattered into the homes of common people, these can no longer be regarded as people, and have completely degenerated into bandits.
For them, killing people and setting fires are all done, robbing people of money and food, playing with two women, it doesn't matter. Although there are many women among the refugees, Jiang Wu has already issued a message that these people are not allowed to mess around among the refugees.
These people's crotches are already so tight.
The people are cowardly and can be bullied, and most people will tolerate it as long as they can when they see the evil coming.
For those who cannot bear it, even if they are furious, they will not be able to save their wives and daughters, but they will only give away their lives in vain.
In the mansion, Jiang Wu looked in the direction of the county seat and said: "There are more and more tails behind us. While we are still among the refugees, we can do something big..."
