Zheng Yuming horse walking in the forefront of the mission team, has been running for more than an hour before slowing down. Because Zheng Yuming horse speed faster, the team of carriages can not keep up, the convoy spacing lengthened, slowed down for half an hour, the mission team to regroup.
The mission traveled for more than an hour, close to noon, the summer sun is hot, both people and horses, walking under the hot sun for more than three hours, sweat dry and wet, clothes printed out a salt stains.
"My lord! There is a forest in front of us, we can take a short break." Huang Zhong pointed to a forest in front of him and suggested.
Zheng Yuming raised his eyes and saw only a shade of green a mile away, which was cool to look at.
"Just go there and rest for a moment!"
The sweat on Zheng Yuming's face trickled down to the corners of his eyes, so spicy that the ends of his eyes hurt. It was now lunchtime, and it was a good time to eat and rest in the shade.
Huang Zhong conveyed Zheng Yuming's order, and the movements of the mission personnel became faster, under the scorching sun, who loved the shade of the trees.
A mile away was a grove of acacia trees, fifteen to twenty-five meters in length, in full bloom, the scent of which wafted with the wind and lifted the spirits. Arriving at the woods, the sentry circled around the woods and found it safe. Only then did Zheng Yuming dismount and sit in the shade with Gongsun Pan, Wu Mu and the others. The cavalry and grooms also dismounted and led the horses to the shade to feed the water and horse feed, and the messenger's cooks were busy setting up pots to boil hot water for drinking.
Zheng Yuming ate some dry food with boiling water and stopped without using it, because of the weather and upset, Zheng Yuming did not have much appetite.
The big bull, who is not naturally troubled, just gulps down the pastry he made this morning, muttering about the weather as he eats, "Look at the heat, the pastry I made this morning, it already carries a flavor!"
"Just a little with flavor, not rancid, not a problem, in the past walking outside, not to mention the flavor, is rancid is not the same to eat." Huang Zhong ate the cake to recall the past traveling around the vassal states of the straitened days.
"That's true, Da Niu didn't used to have pasties to eat in Kishan, not even rancid ones."
The bull threw the last bit of pastry into his mouth, chewed on it and swallowed it, took a drink of water and patted his stomach.
"Heh heh, right now, the Zhao people are probably fighting bitterly." Da Niu counted the time and estimated that Zhao Xuan and the others had already walked into the canyon.
Huang Zhong looked at the silent Zheng Yuming and turned his head to glare at Da Niu, hoping that Da Niu would shut his mouth and not discuss the matter any further.
Huang Zhong's eyes made a few glances, but unfortunately, Da Niu didn't pay attention and still continued the topic.
"These soldiers of Zhao are all more valiant, comparable to our Dragon Tiger Soldiers. Huang Zhong, do you think Yan's five thousand men can winnow out all of Zhao's men?"
As soon as Da Niu's words fell, Huang Zhong's face changed a bit and Zheng Yuming stood up 'suddenly'. "Not good! We have to go back!"
"Why go back?" Da Bull asked, rubbing his head.
"What if Zhao Xuan breaks out?" Zheng Yuming asked Huang Zhong with a frown.
"Your Excellency! I have sent my men to check out the canyon, the canyon's entrance is small, and after the Zhao soldiers go in, the Yan soldiers only need to guard the mouth of the canyon, and it will be difficult for the soldiers and horses that go in to escape. The Yan soldiers will ambush the hill and with random arrows they will be able to shoot the entire Zhao mission to death."
Huang Zhong and his men arrived at the fork in the road one day before the Zhao-Wu delegation, checked the road marks and found no traces of a large number of carriages passing by, and while settling down to wait, they sent one of their men to the ravine of Zhao's vassal state to check out the terrain.
At that time, the Yan soldiers were making preparations for an ambush in the valley, and Huang Zhong's men, who had roughly mapped out the arrangement, quietly withdrew and came back to report to Huang Zhong, so Huang Zhong knew the ambush situation of the Yan soldiers.
"There's no eventuality?" Zheng Yuming frowned tightly, Da Niu has said that the bravery of Zhao soldiers who followed Zhao Xuan on his mission this time can be compared to the Dragon Tiger soldiers, the Dragon Tiger soldiers are handpicked by Chu Chaohui, the elites picked from 100,000 Wu soldiers, one against three or four is no problem.
"This," Huang Zhong couldn't guarantee about the situation.
Hijacking and killing the escaped Zhao Xuan requires manpower, Zhao territory is now very tightly checked, from the country can only send over a small number of people.
Chu Chao Hui had actually anticipated this situation, but because he was most worried about Zheng Yuming's personal safety and didn't want Zheng Yuming to stay in the vicinity and get into danger, he didn't arrange this step.
"We have to go back, we have to see the results." Zheng Yuming explained why. "If Zhao Xuan gets out of danger, the chess game played by the Great General will be null and void, and Zhao Xuan's concubine son will have no role at all."
As long as Zhao Xuan was out of danger and was able to safely sneak back into the country, and with a wave of his arm, the princes, nobles and people who were loyal to Zhao Xuan would naturally gather around him, and this civil unrest in the country of Zhao would be quickly pacified by Zhao Xuan.
"If Zhao Xuan really gets out of danger, what do we do?" Wu Mu asked a little hesitantly.
"If we really get out of danger," Zheng Yuming's face turned pale. "If we really get out of danger, let's help the Yan soldiers." Of course, this kind of help can only be done quietly, not letting the Yan soldiers realize who the person helping is, preventing Yan from backtracking and pushing Zhao Xuan's death onto Wu.
Zheng Yuming paused for a moment and ordered Huang Zhong, "You go and convey the order that the envoys stay behind, five hundred guards stay here for protection, and one thousand Dragon Tiger soldiers put on their armor and prepare their weapons, and go with me to the vicinity of the vassal state of Zhao to find out what's going on."
Zhao Xuan escaped, Yan soldiers must be in hot pursuit, shooting Zhao Xuan at the same time, Zheng Yuming also had to prevent himself from being discovered by the Yan soldiers, in order to be safe, he brought all the warlike Dragon Tiger soldiers with him.
At this time the armor is very heavy, not combat moments, soldiers basically do not wear, Longhu soldiers rush, armor are placed within the horseback bag.
"Promise!" Huang Zhong received the order and went down to gather the head officers to relay Zheng Yuming's instructions.
Longhu army acted quickly, will this way never equipped with the armor out, but twenty minutes, dressed neatly mounted on the war horse lined up.
Zheng Yuming, with the help of Da Niu, put on his own customized silver armor, which was soft armor, much lighter than the usual battle armor, and was created by Papa Dajiang with a year's effort, which was both aesthetically pleasing and had a fairly strong defensive effect.
"You guys just wait here." Zheng Yuming instructed Gongsun Pan and Wu Mu and the others before mounting his horse.
"Duke beware!" Gongsun Pan and Wu Mu were very worried.
"Both of you don't worry, Yuming will only observe from a distance and won't enter the canyon." Zheng Yuming pacified the two.
There are two directions for Zhao Xuan to break out, one is to return to the original road, and the other is to protrude out of the east mouth of the canyon. If Zhao Xuan protrudes out of the east entrance, Zheng Yuming can do nothing about him, if he returns to the original road, Zheng Yuming is prepared to ambush good archers on the hillside at the border entrance of Zhao's vassal state to help King Yan.
"Don't worry, two lords, with me, Da Niu, no one will be able to get close to Gongzi." Dressed in heavy armor, Da Niu patted his chest, slapping his armor with a 'clatter'.
Wu Mu took a look at the pair of big axes on the waist of the big ox, and his heart was much more at ease. The weight of that big axe is amazing, Wu Mu tried to carry a big axe with two hands can not carry. Wu Mu two hands can not carry the big axe, to the big cattle hand, dance like a whirlwind.
It was noon, the hottest time of the sun, and the soldiers walking in their armor were sweating like rain. It was only because the Dragon Tiger Army were all very strong physically, no one suffered from heat stroke due to the heat.
The group galloped for over an hour in the blazing sun, and the sentry horses were frantically making their way back.
"Report! There are horse riders in front of us, coming towards us!" The Longhu sentries realized the situation and rushed back to report.
"How many soldiers and horses are there on the avenue? Did you see what they were?"
Jung Yuming is starting to get nervous, and it's not even the third fork in the road yet.
"Your Excellency, I am too far away to see clearly, I only saw a few hundred horsemen racing down the avenue." The sentry horse was observing the situation from a large tree on a dirt slope, three or four miles away from the avenue cavalry.
Zheng Yuming glanced towards one of the Dragon Tiger Soldiers immediately behind him, who was good at defending sounds.
The Dragon Tiger Soldier rolled off his horse and got down on the ground, listening with his ear pressed against the ground.
"There are a dozen riders, no! There are a hundred horsemen, ah! It seems like there are more than a hundred horsemen, it seems like there are thousands of horsemen." The Longhu Soldiers heard the sound of hoofbeats in great numbers.
"How can this be?" Huang Zhong was anxious.
Now there could be three scenarios, one is that Zhao Xuan didn't enter the Yan soldiers' trap at all, and turned around when he realized the situation was different.
The other is that Zhao Xuan went into an ambush by Yan soldiers, only to have him protrude with his men.
There's another one, that Zhao Xuan has been killed, only his men stand out.
All three scenarios will trigger the Yan soldiers to chase after them, and while the Yan King is eliminating Zhao Xuan, he is also trying to kill all the people in the know to silence them.
Zheng Yuming looked around, all around was flat land, there was no place to hide thousands of people. Without a place to hide, the people who came running on behalf of the avenue would immediately discover them.
"Shall we retreat?" If Wu wanted to shoot Zhao Xuan, who had gotten away, he would have to exterminate all those who had witnessed it. The Dragon Tiger Soldiers ambush heard there were thousands of riders, and Huang Zhong couldn't guarantee that his 1,000 men could wipe out all of the riders. With the terrain here, one could escape in any direction around, and there would definitely be fish that escaped the net.
"It's too late to retreat! They're already here." Zheng Yuming was a bit flustered, he was not a war general.
At the end of the avenue, a dozen black dots appeared, followed by more and more black dots popping up on the distant avenue.
"Yudie! Yu Di!" Zhao Xuan ran at the front of the pack, his brown and red horse had turned vermillion, and his horse was covered in blood.
"Mr. Ming! Duke Ming!" It was Zhao Xuan's men cheering.
In the Great Qin Continent, only the Wu soldiers had uniform armor and equipment, and the weapons were the same.
Zhao Xuan, who knew a lot about Wu, saw the colorful men and horses equipped in front of him, and without thinking, he knew that it was that it was Wu soldiers.
The only Wu soldiers that could appear here at this time would be the mission escorts led by Zheng Yuming.
After fighting for more than three hours, only a hundred or so of Zhao's more than 1,700 people were left to break out to the mouth of the canyon, and after protruding out of the canyon, Zhao Xuan was left with only Wu Mou and a dozen or so of his own guards who were covered in wounds.
With thousands of Yan soldiers chasing behind him, Zhao Xuan decisively chose the direction of the Wu delegation when they reached the fork in the road, and he was counting on more than 1,000 elite soldiers from Wu to help him out.
Running wildly all the way, everyone fled to the point of exhaustion, and seeing friendly troops ahead of them, how could the survivors, facing thousands of people chasing them, not rejoice and be excited.
"Oh no!" Huang Zhong was anxious, with Zhao Xuan and his men shouting like this, how could the Yan soldiers chasing behind them still not know who they were.
"Zhao Xuan, did you deserve your fate?" Zheng Yuming breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had gained relief. "Dragon Tiger Soldiers listen to the order! Rescue King Zhao with all your might and shoot the pursuers!"
The Dragon Tiger Soldiers were well-trained and did not experience any confusion due to Zheng Yuming's change of combat objective, the Dragon Cavalry's bows and arrows turned to aim at the Yan soldiers behind Zhao Xuan.
The reason why Zheng Yuming had given such an order was because it was impossible to eliminate all of the pursuing Yan soldiers. If Wu robbed and killed Zhao Xuan here, ninety percent of it would be publicized everywhere by the Yan King. Zhao Xuan had yet to publicly abolish Queen Zhao, and Queen Zhao was still Zhao Xuan's first wife. Once Zhao Xuan died, each of the Wu and Yan kingdoms present would have their own opinion, and the world would only believe in in-laws.
Unable to put Zhao Xuan to death here, much less let Zhao Xuan escape, Zheng Yuming simply decides to rescue Zhao Xuan and bring him back to Wu under house arrest.
There was only less than three hundred meters between Zhao Xuan and the pursuers, and the Dragon Tiger Soldiers made a gap in the middle of their ranks to give Zhao Xuan and the others a chance to pass through. After Zhao Xuan's dozen or so people passed through, the gap closed.
The first batch of Longhu army opened their bows and shot, and after shooting without looking, they retreated to the back side of the line and drew their waist swords in preparation for battle. The second batch of Dragon and Tiger Army still did the same, retreating and drawing their swords after shooting. By the time the third batch of Longhu troops drew their bows and shot arrows, the Yan soldiers were already less than a hundred meters away.
The two flanking shots, shot down a large number of Yan soldiers chasing at the forefront, the casualties of the Yan soldiers caused the Yan army's riding speed to stagnate, before the Yan soldiers could adjust their formation, the third flanking shot of the Dragon Soldiers had already arrived.
After three rounds of arrows were fired, the third batch of archery-firing Longhu troops did not retreat, but put their bows and arrows away and drew their greatswords to rush towards the already chaotic Yan soldiers.
Zhao Xuan ran to the back of the Dragon Tiger Soldiers and turned back, just as the Dragon Tiger Soldiers finished retreating from their first volley. Zhao Xuan was surprised to see more than three hundred people on horseback weaving in and out of the ranks and retreating without colliding. Not only was this the case with the first batch, but also with the second batch. The only sounds in the entire Dragon Tiger Army were the sound of pulling strings and the crier's slogans, and there was no helplessness on each of the faces of the 1,000 men, only the mechanical behavior of following the order of the day.
If one person did so, you wouldn't feel much different, but when hundreds of people acted in unison, it was shocking. Zhao Xuan thought that he had trained well, but when faced with the mechanized movements of the Wu army, Zhao Xuan asked himself that he could never train them. In fact, Wu soldiers move in a neat and orderly manner, all rely on the usual formation drill.
The hand-pulled archery of the Wu Longhu soldiers has a distance of up to three hundred meters, and beyond three hundred meters, the arrows are powerless. Riding enemy distance close to more than fifty or sixty meters, in the twinkling of an eye, almost to the front, the bow and arrow is too late to shoot arrows, have to use close weapons to each other. Longhu army three arrows finished, raised his sword and Yan soldiers rushed together, bone breaking sound, shouts, killing sound, screams endless.
Zheng Yuming drew his pistol and fired after the Dragon and Tiger soldiers fired three times in unison, shooting out the bullets in his gun case and taking down five Yan soldiers, then he consciously retreated behind Da Niu. Da Niu wielded his double axes and cut down all the Yan soldiers that came close to his horse.
Da Niu followed Zheng Yuming for more than four years, this time finally let the crowd feel the terror of Da Niu's force value, Da Niu's advantage of brute force was reflected in this battle, no one could withstand a Da Niu axe.
Da Niu just started to take care of Zheng Yuming, to the end of the kill, specializing in the Yan soldiers more places to cut and kill, Yan soldiers were Da Niu's bravery scared and fled in panic, so much so that the Da Niu appeared in the direction of which, that direction appeared to be empty.
Yan was a livestock country, and the soldiers' diet was based on meat, and their stature was basically 170 meters or more. The Longhu soldiers were not as tall as the Yan soldiers. However, the Yan soldiers had just gone through a big battle, chased Zhao Xuan for more than an hour and lost a lot of physical strength, facing the well-trained, sharp weapons, protection of the Dragon and Tiger Army, once contacted into the close combat, they were defeated again and again. Longhu army as long as the big sword over, Yan soldiers immediately in the sword fell down horses. The Yan soldiers in the rear see the situation chills, have turned their horses to flee.
"Bah! What a coward to run! I haven't killed enough yet!" Da Niu sneered towards the fleeing Yan soldiers.
Whether on the avenue or in the surrounding wilderness, there were figures of routed Yan soldiers.
Five thousand Yan soldiers, who fought with Zhao Xuan's envoy's soldiers in the valley for three hours, suffered more than three thousand casualties. The remaining one thousand men all went out of the canyon in pursuit of Zhao Xuan, where they were shot to death by over two hundred of Wu's Dragon and Tiger soldiers and hacked to death by over three hundred, with less than a thousand escaping back to Zhao's vassal state.
The well-trained and well-equipped Longhu soldiers, coupled with their physical strength, had only one death and thirty-seven injuries in the short half-hour sword fight with the Yan soldiers. The only dead soldier was not killed by Yan soldiers, but fell off his horse and broke his neck to death.
Zhao Xuan and his dozen or so men were all badly injured, and as the Yan soldiers retreated, Zhao Xuan fainted headfirst on his horse. His dozen or so men also slipped off their horses and lay down on the dirt road, panting heavily.
Zheng Yuming felt that he could not stay here for long, and instructed the Dragon Tiger soldiers to leave with Zhao Xuan and the others on their backs, and to go to the acacia grove to meet with the envoys.
"My lord, Zhao Xuan is already seriously injured, isn't it a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity" Huang Zhong rode to Zheng Yuming's side and suggested in a low voice.
Huang Zhong's intention was to take advantage of Zhao Xuan's serious injuries and have the healer make some maneuvers to make Zhao Xuan die.
Zheng Yuming bowed his head in contemplation for half a minute and gently shook his head a little, "It's better to let the healers do all they can to save Juniper Zhao Xuan."
Zheng Yuming was not a hard-hearted person, for the sake of Wu, he had already forced himself to send more than 1,700 people of Zhao's delegation to their deaths, and after that, he was hard-heartedly prepared to hijack and kill Zhao Xuan, who had broken through the siege. But when he saw Zhao Xuan and his men covered in blood and dying, Zheng Yuming couldn't be hard-hearted anymore.
The Longhu soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield, tied up the few Yan soldiers who did not die, and quickly returned to the acacia forest with the bodies of the fallen Longhu soldiers and the wounded.
When Wu Mu and Gong Sun Pan saw the return of the crowd, they went up to inquire about the news, and the unconscious wounded were placed on the four-wheeled carriage, and the accompanying doctors rushed up to rescue them.
Zheng Yuming took off his armor and first went to interrogate the captured Yan soldiers, and from the mouth of the captured Yan soldiers, he asked for two major pieces of information. One is that the King of Yan did not personally come to the canyon to murder his son-in-law, and the second is that the Yan soldiers' accent is different from that of the Zhao soldiers, and for fear of revealing their footsteps, the Yan soldiers passed through the capital city of the vassal state with the oracle issued by the Right Honorable Doctor, and ambushed in the canyon, so that the Lord of the Kingdom of the vassal state only assumed that the 5,000 Yan soldiers were the soldiers of Zhao, and went to welcome Zhao Xuan back to his country.
Knowing that the lord of the vassal state of Zhao had not yet submitted to Righteousness, Zheng Yuming was relieved, which meant that the vassal state would not send troops to help the Yan. Without reinforcements, the Yan army, with less than a thousand remnants left, could not possibly have the guts to come after them. There would be no need for the Wu delegation to rush.
"My lord, there is no safe place to set up camp ahead, since the Yan people are unlikely to catch up, how about we set up camp in the acacia forest today?" Huang Zhong asked Zheng Yuming for instructions.
A dozen or so miles ahead from the acacia forest was a narrow gully, and it took two hours of walking north along the gully to get to a small city. The sun was now about to set in the west, and it would be too late to reach the small town before dark.
It is not suitable for camping by the long gully in front, to have the enemy appear, and with the gully blocking the way on one side, the direction of evacuation is less than half.
The acacia trees are tall and their leaves block the sunlight, making it difficult for the plants at the bottom of the trees to survive. With less shrubs and grasses, the gaps in the woods are relatively large, so you can ride in on horseback, and in the event of a strong enemy attack, you can go inside and hide.
"Well, rest here today, and send more people to patrol and stand guard." Zheng Yuming nodded, Zhao Xuan and the others were heavily injured, it was not advisable to move again today.
Huang Zhong received the order and went to set up, Wu Mu walked to Zheng Yuming's side and asked worriedly, "Your Excellency, do you really want to save the King of Zhao?"
Zheng Yuming nodded his head gently.
"My lord, will saving it affect the Great General's plans?"
"It was, but now it won't."
Wu Mu didn't understand. "Mak doesn't quite understand."
"If we had warned Zhao Xuan initially that there was an ambush in front of him and that Zhao Xuan had soldiers and horses in his hands, we couldn't sway Zhao Xuan's actions." Jung Yuming explains the reason for his repetition on the matter of rescuing Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan who was able to walk freely would definitely think of returning to his country to restore his status.
Wu Mu came to a realization at this point: "I understand, and now I can be rescued because the King of Zhao can be considered a loner."
Zhao Xuan's original soldiers were similar to Wu's envoys, so they could not influence Zhao Xuan's will. Now, Zhao Xuan only has a dozen or so men, and both he and his men are seriously injured, so it's easy to bring them back to Wu.
Using Zhao Xuan as a hostage would be best for the annexation of Zhao. Subjects loyal to Zhao Xuan would be forced to follow orders from Wu because their lord was in Wu's hands. After the annexation was over, there would be much less resistance to building the state of Zhao.
Last night, Zheng Yuming thinking all night, thinking about the feasibility of the hostage thing, his heart does not want Zhao Xuan to die like this, and ultimately, because of the fear of Zhao Xuan side of the elite soldiers, Zheng Yuming did not dare to act rashly, and only according to Chu Chaohui's plan to act.
"Your Excellency! The King of Zhao has woken up and demands to see you!" A healer's assistant came running.
"Oh, King Zhao has woken up? How are his injuries?" Zheng Yuming asked as he walked.
"King Zhao has many wounds on his body, but they aren't too deep, only too much blood loss. The healer said that King Zhao needs to rest for a good period of time before he can recover." The healer's assistant trotted behind Zheng Yuming, the assistant was only a little more than one meter six, Zheng Yuming took one step, he had to walk up one and a half steps.
Zhao Xuan was lying on Zheng Yuming's four-wheeled carriage, which was driven by two horses, and the driver was removing the cushions from the driver's seat, and so on he would have to unload the carriage for the two horses.
Zheng Yuming approached the carriage, and Woody suddenly burrowed out from underneath the carriage. At this point, Zheng Yuming realized that when he rested at noon, Woody ran out of sight. Zheng Yuming went to the canyon with the dragon and tiger soldiers, also did not see the figure of wood, think wood all afternoon with that long mane mixed together.
Zheng Yuming didn't have the time to criticize Woody for seeing color and being dim-witted right now, and only glared fiercely at his pet for seeing color and forgetting his master. Woody was glared at by his master and shrunk his doggy head as if he was ashamed.
"Brother Wang! Feeling better?" Zheng Yuming got on the carriage.
Zhao Xuan was half lying on the flattened seat, his eyes closed tightly and his face pale. The healer next to him was packing up the medical kit. Zhao Xuan's wounds had all been bandaged up, there were too many wounds, Zhao Xuan's image was a bit like a mummy now.
"Yudie! You're here?" Zhao Xuan heard the voice and opened his eyes with an odd look in his eyes.
"Brother Wang don't worry, those Yan soldiers won't dare to come after them." Zheng Yuming comforted.
Zhao Xuan's eyes flashed and his voice was hoarse, "Yudie, the king's brother wants to ask you something."
When Zhao Xuan finished speaking, his eyes glanced at the healer beside him.
"You go down." Zheng Yuming understood what Zhao Xuan meant, what Zhao Xuan said to him was rather confidential and he didn't want a third person present.
When the healer left, Zhao Xuan moved his body, moving with great difficulty.
"Brother Wang don't move around, your wounds need to be rested." Zheng Yuming approached Zhao Xuan and pressed Zhao Xuan's shoulder.
The corner of Zhao Xuan's mouth pulled slightly, "Thank you, Yu Di! This broken life of my brother can only be complete thanks to Yu Di."
"Brother Wang, Yan Ji colluded with the Lord of Yan to disrupt the Zhao family, Yuming will help brother Wang to seek justice." Zheng Yuming promised.
The corners of Zhao Xuan's mouth quirked as a brilliant light flashed in his eyes. "Many thanks to Yu Di for his help!"
Zhao Xuan had just finished his sentence, suddenly rose up and pounced on Zheng Yuming in the carriage. Zheng Yuming was unprepared, fell down the back of the head and the floor of the compartment collided, and suddenly the pain was dizzying.
The four-wheeled carriage carriage was all open for ventilation, and the Dragon and Tiger soldiers beside it realized the movement of the carriage and surrounded it one after another. Zhao Xuan saw the situation, will himself and Zheng Yuming hairpin pull down, from the carriage driving lookout window inserted into the horse. The two horses that were grazing were shot in the buttocks by the hairpin, and the horses ate the pain, raised their hooves and neighing, and scurried forward like crazy.
"Zhao Xuan! Are you crazy?" Jung Yuming rubbed the back of his head and tried to get up.
"Nice! I am crazy!" Zhao Xuan pounced on Zheng Yuming and pressed on top of him, choking Zheng Yuming's neck with both hands .
"Cough!" Zheng Yuming had difficulty breathing as he struggled hard, both hands tightly breaking Zhao Xuan's hands that were pinching him.
Zhao Xuan had already been seriously injured, should have been weak, did not want to die pinching Zheng Yuming's hands tight as an iron clamp.
"Why?" Jung Yuming managed to squeeze out the question.
The horse galloped furiously, and the wind poured in through the open doors and windows, blowing the long hair of the two people in the carriage around. The open carriage doors hit the carriage back and forth as they ran, emitting a 'bam bam bam' sound. However, in two breaths, the sounds of the chasing Dragon Tiger Soldiers faded away.
"Gongziming! Why are you trying to harm me!" Zhao Xuan's face was hideous.
"No! No," Jung Yoo-myung snapped out in defense.
"You did not harm me? If you didn't harm me, why did you change your path in front of the trap when you agreed to walk together? Why did you wait halfway with a fully armed army? Didn't you want to take advantage of the situation? Perhaps Mr. Ming is colluding with Yan? Or are you playing me, Zhao Xuan, and Yan in the palm of your hand?"
After Zhao Xuan was rescued, he didn't fall unconscious and just closed his eyes to think about what happened. The more he thought about it, the more skeptical he became of Zheng Yuming. First, before the trap, suddenly diverted to visit Xu Guo, this may be explained by chance. But Zheng Yuming left the mission civilian staff, leading the heavily armed Dragon Tiger soldiers turn back these two, it can not be explained. How could Zheng Yuming know that he was in danger? Unless he was the murder planner or implementer.
"Neither, what are you doing," Zheng Yuming forcefully broke Zhao Xuan's fingers, his face was pinched blood red by Zhao Xuan.
"Yudie! What do you think I'm going to do? My brother's royal court has already been captured by the Yan people, and both Wenzai and Bo Yao have been killed! The kingdom of Lone is gone! What's the point of my Zhao Xuan's existence?" There were splashes in Zhao Xuan's eyes and the bandages on his body began to seep blood.
Feeling that Zheng Yuming is harboring a scourge is the last straw that breaks Zhao Xuan's sanity. Zhao Xuan's desperate attempt to break out of the siege was originally intended to ask for Zheng Yuming's help to reclaim his family's territory.
Zhao Xuan is caught in a canyon trap, and Yan's soldiers shout in unison that Zhao Rui has ascended to the throne, and that Wenzai and Bo Yao, who were loyal to Zhao Xuan, have been killed as a way of dismantling Zhao Xuan's and the soldiers' sense of resistance.
Zheng Yuming wanted to say that Bo Yao is not dead, and is still leading 30,000 soldiers and horses on the southern border of Zhao, but Zhao Xuan's fingers tightened more and more tightly, and Zheng Yuming was unable to send out a single word.
"Yu Di! The two in my brother's heart are the heaviest!" Zhao Xuan looked frantic. "The first is my Zhao family. Secondly."
Zhao Xuan's fingers continued to push harder, and Zheng Yuming was so hard that his eyes were thrusting upwards.
"The second is you, Ming Di! My brother's heart admires Yu Di and wants to be with Yu Di for the rest of his life." Zhao Xuan slowly lowered his head, the long hair on his head sweeping over Zheng Yu Ming's face.
"Now that the community is gone, my brother can only retreat to the second best. I know that a lifetime is impossible, so I can only go to hell with Yu Di."
Zhao Xuan suddenly lost the ancestral base, and that Zheng Yuming deceived him, there is no hope of restoration of the country, under the double stimulus, has become irrational, behavior is extremely extreme, the heart even only one idea, that is, with Zheng Yuming to die.
Zhao Xuan wants to die, but Zheng Yuming does not want to, he twisted his body hard, bent his legs and violently topped Zhao Xuan's lower body. Zheng Yuming toppled over the force is not too big, but Zhao Xuan is already at the end of his strength, lower body pain, Zhao Xuan hands loose, Zheng Yuming took the opportunity to turn over Zhao Xuan pressure, two hands restrain Zhao Xuan wrist.
"Ahem! Cough!" Zheng Yuming coughed for a while before regaining his speech function.
"Zhao Xuan! How can you be so gracious and hateful! I, Zheng Yuming, knew that you would be in danger because I realized that the road was different!"
"Different?" Zhao Xuan clearly didn't believe it.
"In the first two days to Three Forks, didn't you realize that we didn't meet a single merchant?" Zheng Yuming learned that the Yan soldiers had ambushed them in the canyon before he remembered that he had not met a single merchant in the last two days of his return journey. Before that, several rounds of Zhao-Wu merchants would be encountered in a single day.
The Yan soldiers ambushed the canyon and certainly did not allow merchants to pass through to discover the secret, and any caravans that reached the canyon were probably dealt with by the Yan soldiers.
Zhao Xuan was dumbfounded, "Yudi is the one who discovered this anomaly and returned with the heavily armed Dragon Tiger soldiers?"
"Not bad!" Zheng Yuming regretted that the original intention was to go and patch up, if he knew that Zhao Xuan would go crazy due to his suspicions, Zheng Yuming risked the news leaking out and had to patch up the fixing.
"So it was to save me?" Guilt rolled through Zhao Xuan's heart like a huge wave.
"Of course!" If you can't kill you without realizing it, you can only save it.
"Yudie! I'm sorry!" Zhao Xuan was saddened to death. "Misunderstanding Xian Di in this way, Xuan can only thank you with his death!"
"Why is Brother Xuan mouthing the word death?" Zheng Yuming needed the living Zhao Xuan to go to Wu as a hostage.
"Losing his ancestry, Xuan cannot live on." Although the misunderstanding against Zheng Yuming was lifted, the loss of control over Zhao was quite a serious blow to Zhao Xuan.
"Brother Wang, there are two deaths for a man, or heavier than Azure Mountain! Or lighter than a goose feather!" Zheng Yuming counseled.
"Or heavier than Azure Mountain, or lighter than a feather?" Zhao Xuan repeats.
"Brother Wang is a rare great talent in the world, if a great talent can die because of the world, it is heavier than Azure Mountain! If you die for the county, it is lighter than a feather! Brother Wang is a great talent, how can he die for the county, brother Wang should die for the world!"
"Die for the world!" These sentences from Zheng Yuming made Zhao Xuan very shocked, the reasoning of such a realm was the first time Zhao Xuan had heard of it today.
Zheng Yuming saw that Zhao Xuan was moved and couldn't help but lobby further, if he lobbied the hostage into a helper, Zheng Yuming felt that his merit was complete enough.
"When brother loses his county, he can still bow and scrape for the world with Yuming."
Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up and lit up again as he glanced outside the carriage and suddenly lost color on his face. "Yu Di, it's late! I'm sorry!"
Zheng Yuming followed Zhao Xuan's line of sight and the blood drained from his face, thirty or so meters in front of the carriage was the gully, a long natural gully that was a hundred meters wide and thirty or so meters deep. The two horses with hairpins tied to their asses were going to carry them towards death.
The wagon was running at an alarming speed, and the two men, even if they could roll out of the wagon, would be carried by inertia into the deep ravine.
"I'm sorry!" Zhao Xuan closed his two hands and hugged Zheng Yuming tightly, since he couldn't change his fate, being able to die with someone he adored, in the end, it was considered a fulfillment of his heart's desire.
Thirty meters away from the galloping horses is only a few seconds, but in these few seconds, accompanied by the barking of the dogs, the carriage suddenly turned 180 degrees, Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming if not thrown to the carriage door to shoot back, tightly embraced two people must be thrown into the deep ravine.
The two horses turned too sharply, one horse fell to the ground, the other horse was dragged to slow down the speed, the carriage by inertia forward into the injured horse crooked. Zheng Yuming dragged the unconscious Zhao Xuan climbed out of the carriage, contact with the ground, Zheng Yuming whole body sore.
"Wood!" The wood at the edge of the gully stood at the edge staring down, anxious cries coming out of his mouth, hearing his master call out, the wood immediately ran to his master's side and pulled towards the edge of the gully with the corner of Zheng Yuming's coat in his teeth.
Zheng Yuming's hand touched the wood, found the wood covered with dog hair wet, walked to the edge of the gully, only to see the edge of the bottom of the three or four meters protruding, lying on the long sideburns hair. Long sideburns hair under the soil loosening, gradually have a downward trend. Long sideburns hair paws under the soil is soft, can not use the force to jump up.
Seeing this scene, and thinking about the strange turn the carriage took just now, Zheng Yuming immediately understood that it was Woody and Long Sideburns that saved him and Zhao Xuan. The two dogs caught up with the carriage and barked furiously at the horses before the carriage crashed, forcing the horses to turn around, and Long Sideburns lost his hooves and slipped when he landed on the ground because he was standing too far to the side.
Zheng Yuming took off his summer coat, tore it into long strips and tied it into a knot, and threw one end in front of Long Sideburns. Long sideburns do not pay attention to, wood anxiously yell, as if scolding long sideburns. In the wood screams, long hairy sideburns reluctantly bite the summer coat, in Zheng Yuming's help, use the strength to climb up.
After the long sideburns were rescued, his nose sniffed at Zheng Yuming's hand for a while, and then spread his legs and ran away into the twilight. Wood stared at Long Sideburns' distant figure, took two steps forward and stopped, barked twice and returned to his master's side, guarding his master closely.
