"Although that is true, she is still a princess after all. As long as we have her trump card in our hands, why should we be afraid of the golden fat man?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yan immediately tightened his reins and stopped, turned his head and looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"
Zhang Huaide looked around, then walked to Shao Yan, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates heard that the end of this month will be the big day for Princess Yuegui and Fatty Jin. Now that Fatty Jin has gone to Luojing, why don't we capture Princess Yuegui?
, then use her to contain Fatty Jin. I think that although Fatty Jin is unwilling, he will not put his fiancée’s life at risk."
Shao Yan sneered: "I really can't tell that you have a lot of clever ideas."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." After Zhang Huaide praised him, he was so happy that he opened his mouth from ear to ear and said humbly: "These are just trivial skills, and it is difficult to reach the level of elegance."
"Hmph, it's rare that you still have some self-awareness." Shao Yan glared at him with disdain and scolded: "I just made it very clear that war is a man's business, don't involve women, if you still have this idea in the future
, watch your butt bloom”
Zhang Huaide was so frightened that his face turned blue. He quickly bowed his head and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have such evil thoughts."
"Okay, let's forget it this time. I won't do it next time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will definitely keep it in mind."
Shao Yan didn't say anything anymore, but kicked the horse's belly hard, and took the lead to lead the team straight forward. Zhang Huaide hurriedly chased after him.
Since the march was at night, in order to prevent the enemy from setting up an ambush halfway, Shao Yan tried his best to avoid some rugged mountain roads and places with many obstacles. In this way, he would inevitably face the checkpoints on the road. Fortunately for Shao Yan
Xiang Hongyu gave him a clearance token. Despite this, he would be extra careful every time he went to a level for fear of being recognized.
After passing through five lines of defense in a row, Shao Yan thought he could breathe a sigh of relief. However, just as they continued on their way happily, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves not far ahead, and Zhang Huaide cried out in his heart.
No, he quickly ordered his men to prepare for battle. Shao Yan quietly put the fake beard he had prepared in advance on his mouth. This time he was not going through a checkpoint. If he met an old acquaintance like Jin Dingguo, it would be troublesome.
Got it
"Drive, drive——"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of Chu cavalry suddenly rushing towards him. Shao Yan raised his eyes and saw that there were probably more than a hundred of these cavalry, and each of them carried a long bow and hung a long arrow on his waist.
The horses are all carefully selected. Each one is stronger than the other and runs with full strength.
The leader was a middle-aged warrior with a square face and fierce eyes. The most striking feature was the sparse beard on his cheek. The warrior made a gesture, and his men immediately tightened their reins and stood on Shaoyan.
Waiting for someone
"Hey, which department do you belong to? Are you from Gouzhuang City?" The warrior glanced at Shao Yan and asked generously.
Shao Yan was worried about how to deal with this person. When he heard him ask this question, he simply made a plan and said: "I am from Mr. Gouzhuang Fan's subordinates. I wonder where your brother is? Where are you going late at night?"
The warrior was confused for a moment and then said: "Oh, I am Wang Tianba under the command of General Qin. I have been ordered by General Qin to go to Gouzhuang City to mobilize the defense."
Damn, he is Wang Tianba? Oh my god, I was just talking casually at that time. It turns out that there is such a person in the world, and he is also a bearded man. No wonder Fan Shiren and Hong Yu would doubt me and us.
The gap was so big that Shao Yan was really panicked, but on the surface he put on a serious look and said respectfully: "It turns out to be Mr. Wang Shenjiang. I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm disrespectful!"
Wang Tianba asked himself that this was his first time in Gouzhuang City. Except for Princess Changle, no one had seen him before. Hearing the boy's tone, it seemed that he was very familiar with him. He couldn't help but wonder: "Do you know this brother?"
"No, no." Shao Yan shook his head with a smile, and said with a squinted smile: "This subordinate is just a pioneer officer under Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan is the boss of the villain, and he has never even seen him.
How can a little person have such good fortune than you, my lord? It’s just that your reputation is far-reaching, no one in the world knows it, and no one knows it. To be honest with you, my lord, I have been admiring you for a long time. I didn’t expect it.
It is truly a blessing to meet you here today."
Wang Tianba was very proud. He stroked his beard and said with a slight smile: "This brother is very good at talking. It turns out that you are a pioneer officer under Fan Shiren. It seems that Mr. Fan of yours is very good at understanding people and being kind.
Use it”
Shao Yan chuckled and laughed secretly in his heart, of course, otherwise Fan Shiren wouldn’t be imprisoned by me.
"I don't know what to call this brother? Where are you going so late?" Wang Tianba asked
Shao Yan thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Oh, my surname is Shi Mingshan, and we are going to Changqing City on the order of the boss."
"Going to Changqing City?" Wang Tianba was very surprised, "Where are you going? What are you doing? That area is still the border of Donglin Kingdom, and the enemy general Zhang Baihu and the Golden Gun King are still stationed there."
Shao Yan said: "Because of this, the boss asked us to go over and find out the truth."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"The boss said that we people should not stay in a small Gouzhuang city all day long. He also said that those who eat the emperor's salary must be loyal to the emperor, so he hopes that we will also think of General Qin and General Wang.
Just like you, go into battle vigorously to kill the enemy."
General Wang Shen laughed loudly and said: "I understand your boss's hard work very well. As a soldier, no one is willing to stay at home all day long, just like a little daughter-in-law. If it were me, I would be able to do it after a long time."
Itchy, it’s just that things have changed now. Before the emperor of Donglin Kingdom is caught, we must not take it lightly, and every city we occupy must be firmly defended."
After a pause, he waved his hand and said: "Listen to me, you should follow us back to Gouzhuang City. There are at least 50,000 enemy troops stationed in Changqing. Not long ago, Jin Dingguo's 100,000 troops were not captured.
Just a few dozen of you?" After saying this, he laughed again, and other cavalrymen also made mocking sounds.
Today, I finally escaped. You want me to go back? Are you kidding me? Shao Yan said confidently: "Sir, don't underestimate us. Fatty Jin can't capture Changqing City. That's because he doesn't have the ability. We and him
no the same"
General Wang Shen was stunned. Hey, this guy is very talkative. After all, Jin Dingguo is also the military marshal of the Liang Kingdom, but he is said to be worthless by this guy. It seems that I meet capable people every day. "Shi
Brother, you can't say that. Marshal Jin is the generalissimo appointed by Emperor Liang. It's okay for you to say this here. Don't let him hear it, otherwise it will always be unreasonable to arouse conflicts between our two countries.
good"
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense." Shao Yan nodded humbly and followed, "But to be honest, Liang Jun's combat effectiveness is indeed not as good as ours. Mr. Fan also took a fancy to this point this time, so he thought of letting us take the risk.
We have made special preparations for this." After saying this, Shao Yan took the lead in taking off his hat. For a while, Zhang Huaide and others all took off their hats.
Seeing that they had no braids on their heads, Wang Batian was not sure of their true identities at first. It was not until Shao Yan took out the customs clearance token that he believed that they had followed Fan Shiren's orders and sneaked into Changqing City in disguise.
Next, the two simply dismounted, sat on the ground and exchanged a few words. During the chat, Wang Batian gradually became less wary of Shao Yan, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became. Moreover, Shao Yan even deliberately made it up.
A lie. He told Wang Batian that Fan Shiren and the Princess of Changle had always been in conflict. This time Fan Shiren sent himself to Changqing to inquire about the enemy. He was opposed by the Princess of Changle. In order to resolve the conflict between himself and the Princess.
The stakes are high. Fan Shiren is willing to use his life and property to guarantee the completion of this mission.
"Brother Shi, what you are saying is that if you fail to complete the task, then the princess will deal with Fan Shiren through military law. Is this the case?" Wang Batian couldn't help but be surprised after listening to his story.
"That's right." Shao Yan sighed helplessly: "Mr. Fan is devoted to the country, and he does not hesitate to use his own life as a guarantee. As the princess, as the supervisor, her worries are certainly justified, but she did misunderstand Fan this time.
Mr. Wang, I hope that after Mr. Wang returns, he will give me a good advice to the princess."
Seeing the sad look on Shao Yan's face, Wang Batian patted him on the shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, when I return to Gouzhuang, I will definitely ask the princess to let your boss go, but you guys
There are many unpredictable dangers on the way to Changqing City this time, so you have to worry."
"I know, I will pay attention to it." Shao Yan chuckled, but felt a little puzzled in his heart. At first, he thought that Wang Batian must be very difficult to deal with as his name suggests. Unexpectedly, this person's words and demeanor were very gentle, which was different from his face.
The beard doesn't match at all
After chatting for a while, Shao Yan said in his heart that it was already getting late, and if he didn't hurry up, it would be difficult to reach Changqing City before dawn, so he said goodbye to Wang Batian, and then took Zhang Huaide and others to hurry up and hurry up.
After they left, Wang Batian got back on his horse and prepared to go straight to Gouzhuang City. At this time, a follower beside him said: "Master Wang, do you think this boy's words are credible?"
Wang Batian chuckled and said: "To be honest, this Shishan is indeed a clever guy. What he said is so clear and logical, I have no reason not to believe it."
"However, my subordinates always feel like they are being teased."
Wang Batian's face darkened, and he said casually: "Don't tell me, I feel the same way, but this guy has the princess's customs clearance token in his hand. Even if we have sufficient evidence to doubt him, we can't even connect the princess with him."
It’s included in it, and besides, this guy is quite right. I once heard Old General Qin say that Fan Shi is not a good person to begin with, and the princess dislikes him very much.”
The follower said suspiciously: "That's really strange. I just heard what Shi Shan said, and my subordinates thought that Fan Shiren was a very great person. Who knew -"
"Who knows if I have been cheated?" A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Batian's mouth, "So this is the 'feeling of being teased' you mentioned. This guy named Shi is very smart, but there are still some loopholes in his words.
, this is called being clever but being misled by cleverness, I want to see what tricks he is playing again."
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"In this way, you take one or two people and follow them secretly." Wang Batian said mysteriously: "Remember, don't expose yourself, let alone lose yourself. Once you find anything wrong, come back and tell me immediately.
"
"Yes, my subordinates will go right away." The entourage picked two cavalrymen and quietly followed them in the direction where Shao Yan and others left.
…
As time passed, the night was about to end, and a glimmer of morning light finally appeared on the other side of the sky. Shao Yan and others were walking on the road, and they could vaguely see the flowers and plants on the roadside, and occasionally heard the chirping of birds.
Voice
After walking for a while, Zhang Huaide suddenly felt a little urgent to urinate. However, the moment he unbuttoned his belt, he suddenly noticed a few more "tails" behind him. The figures appeared and disappeared, and he couldn't get rid of them.
In desperation, he pretended not to see anything, held up his pants, and secretly winked at Shao Yan.
The three Chu soldiers followed quietly. Zhang Huaide turned around suddenly. The three of them were so frightened that they quickly found a slope to hide. Just as they were about to follow again, they suddenly saw Zhang Huaide standing in front of them.
After a while, the three of them were brought to Shao Yan. Shao Yan asked, "Why are you three following me?"
None of the three dared to speak. Zhang Huaide said angrily: "Tell me, who are you sent by and why do you follow Master Shi? Don't you even recognize the clothes we are wearing? Keep your dog eyes open.
Take a closer look." He said while pulling on the armor on his body.
Seeing that the three of them still didn't respond, Shao Yan said calmly: "You are so courageous, it would be a pity not to join the underground party. But you are quite lucky today, and you met such a talkative master like me. In this way, you
I don’t want to say it, and I won’t force you.” After saying that, he deliberately yelled: “Lao Zhang, these three people are probably all mute, so let’s not go to trial and just dig a hole and bury them?”
Zhang Huaide said cheerfully: "Okay, sir."
The faces of the three people instantly darkened, and two of them were so scared that they almost wet their pants. Zhang Huaide suppressed his laughter and asked loudly: "Sir, are these three people buried together or separately?"
"This -" Shao Yan walked up to the three of them and saw that they were all sweating on their foreheads. He pretended to be reserved and said: "It's too troublesome to dig three holes to bury them separately. It's better to bury them together to save trouble."
"Do you mean to bury the three of them together?"
"Just bury them together"
"Yes, sir." Zhang Huaide was a cheerful person and did what he said. He immediately led a few soldiers to an open area and dug a hole.
During this period, Shao Yan kept secretly observing the three people, but saw that one of them was relatively calm, while the other two were already as pale as paper. In the end, they could not withstand the final test, and they both knelt down with a crash.
They all said in unison: "Sir, please spare my life. It was Wang Shen who ordered us to follow you."
