The carriage left the reed swamp and walked onto the official road leading away from the high mountains. Behind the carriage, half of the reeds bowed their heads. In the depths, there were corpses on the ground, covered with tattered armor. Hundreds of people just stayed there.
This heap of weeds that never sees the light of day will be covered by reeds that grow again.
The carriage gradually moved away, heading towards Shaoshi Mountain.
"Do you know who he is?"
Feng Yu was sitting in the carriage, comprehending the peerless swordsmanship. Even Xu Sheng, the Golden Spear King, could not catch the double-digit Mo Yang Sword. He was defeated by his father's sword, Dong Xuan and Dong Xuan.
The gap can be said to be thousands of miles apart.
"what did you say?"
Xia Xuanyuan looked at his absent-minded look and asked again: "Let me ask, do you know who wanted to deal with you just now?"
"Oh, Xun Zhao of Mo Yangjian should be the one who killed the Seven Kills. As for these hundreds of archers, they were probably instigated. According to the military style, they are probably the nearest defenders."
Xia Xuanyuan hit him on the head with a chestnut, "You do things without thinking or asking. How can you rest assured that you are still thinking about putting down the war?"
"Then what do you mean? Wasn't it his instigation?"
"Huh, of course it's him, but you have to think further. How did you learn military strategy? War is not a competition. The victory or defeat in the moment can't mean anything. You have to be able to see through the essence and details behind it. What just happened
Although this group of archers is not forming a march, they are all good soldiers in the army. They are good at using bows and arrows. Almost every arrow has no big difference and shoots straight at the carriage. Moreover, they are also well hidden in the reeds. The leader
Being able to fight calmly even when being killed is not a quality that ordinary soldiers can possess."
Only then did Feng Yu realize that there seemed to be something unusual about his father's words.
"If they are not ordinary city guarding officers and soldiers, but well-trained soldiers, with the way the second grandfather and father have assigned military power, it means that someone has been secretly bribed, and his military position is not small."
"It's not too stupid. You should think more about this kind of thing in the future. A war is imminent. If you take the victory or defeat in front of you too seriously, you will lose more miserably in the end."
"I understand, teach me."
"The sword that opened the world just now is different from the previous two moves of Double Dragons Going Out to the Sea and Sword Gathering the Wind and Cloud. It is not about sword skills, but about artistic conception. Your current sword power has not yet been achieved, and your sword heart is not yet stable. It is a bit difficult to understand. I know
You have already seen the sword art, take your time in the future, don’t be in a hurry. As for the Demon Sect of that day, you don’t have to worry about it for now, I will let you know when the time comes."
"oh."
"Let's take a rest in the city ahead."
"I thought that the powerful masters in the Dongxuan Realm would not be tired. Ling Yu, Gu Feng, go straight to Hengnan. We have been sleeping in the open for several days, so we all need to have a good rest."
"Yes, sir."
Hengnan is a city in Lingzhou, the closest one after passing the mountain, so it is also a bit prosperous. There are many people passing by and people from the surrounding villages coming here. It is not as good as Jinling Capital, but it is still talkative.
The carriage slowly walked to the south gate of Hengnan, and several soldiers guarding the city stopped them.
"There is an order from above. There has been some unrest in the city recently. No one is allowed to enter the city. They need to show their identity first."
Ling Yu looked at the group of people who went in directly in front, and was a little puzzled, "Master Jun, didn't all the people in front of them go to the city? Why can't they come to our place?"
"What nonsense! If you say you want to be interrogated, just accept the interrogation obediently.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Who should be released and who shouldn't be released? Do I still have to report to you?"
Chu Yuexiang opened the curtain and took a look, "Why are these people like this? Isn't this clearly targeting us?"
The leader saw Chu Yuexiang sticking his head out and shouted towards the carriage: "Everyone should get off the carriage immediately and be interrogated. Anyone who disobeys will be brought to see the official!"
Feng Yu had planned not to be discovered when he went to Nanchu this time. Everything that could be proved was left at the scene of the suspended animation. There was really nothing that could reveal his identity right away.
A sentence floated out from the carriage, "I am Qin Junze. I just came back from Nanchu. Do you want to check me too?"
"Bold! You dare to impersonate the late prince. This is an attack on the royal family. Come on, get it for me!"
Feng Yu opened the curtain and walked out, jumped off the carriage, and looked at the leader who was talking to him. His expression didn't look angry, but rather showed a sense of dignity.
"It's true that I can't prove my identity, but they don't need to be checked when they enter the city, but we have to be checked. Isn't it a bit unreasonable? Or is this rule specifically aimed at me?"
"This is a rule from above, we just act according to the rules."
"Rules, what rules? Why don't you tell them?"
"Stop talking nonsense! I said rules are rules, come on!"
Feng Yu slapped him out, turned around and wiped his hands with a square towel, "Is this how the laws of the Tang Dynasty are implemented, or do you think you are the law when you become an official? Today, my king
The words are here. If there is this rule, you can search it. If it is not found, I will offload you to rectify the king's law!"
The officer and soldier who was slapped to the ground covered his face and struggled, saying with some fear: "You, you, you actually beat the officers and soldiers of the imperial court! Whatever you want to see, do it to me!"
Several people behind him were frightened, and before they could take action, someone rushed out from behind the city gate.
"Wait, what happened here?"
Feng Yu looked at the person who came, he was short and fat, but at least he was a sixth-level warrior.
"General, general, this person doesn't obey the rules and even hurts me. It's him!"
The short and fat general looked at Feng Yu, who had his hands behind his back. His calm and arrogant posture was not like that of an ordinary person. Then he glanced at the carriage, and his eyes quietly narrowed, obviously recognizing the carriage.
"So that's it. Sir, in order to avoid misunderstandings and to prevent anyone from saying that we neglect people from other cities, how about I invite a few of you to my house for a cup of tea?"
Feng Yu watched him say these high-sounding nonsense, but he was still a little scheming, not as simple as a little soldier.
"My king said, tell me the rules and I will obey them. Don't use these official words to deal with it. Do you think I won't understand the meaning of drinking tea?"
"Young master calls himself the king. I, the general, can take you down for the crime of pretending to be the prince and deceiving the king. Do you have to make trouble in front of everyone?"
Feng Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked directly: "Who asked you to stop the carriage?"
"This general was just ordered to investigate lawless elements. As Tang people, you should abide by the law, instead of deliberately provoking, maliciously causing trouble and spreading rumors, wasting everyone's time. Now it seems that I wanted to give you a chance to speak well, but you don't cherish it.
"
The pudgy general made a big move and was ready to lead his men to catch them.
"Wait a minute!"
A young general on horseback came to the scene and stopped them.
"Major General Lu, why should I catch the gangsters so hard?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Do you want to get involved too?"
"General Shen's words are wrong. I came to Lingzhou on the emperor's order to inspect the military situation. Naturally, I also want to know the movements and actions of the defenders. General Shen personally led people to arrest people at the city gate. I don't know what the purpose is?"
"Hmph, this is Hengnan's own business. General Lu, it's better not to meddle in other people's business."
"There must be a motive for arresting people. You are a soldier, not an officer. A soldier's duty is to protect your home and country and obey orders. Where did your order to arrest people come from? How come I don't know?"
"This is the prince's order, do you still want to take care of it?"
Feng Yu had been standing opposite Shen Zhong, looking at Major General Lu with a smile on his face. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in this place far away from the capital. He was really lucky.
"Lu Jinyan, long time no see."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Jinyan was a little shocked while sitting on the horse. He turned over and dismounted, pushed aside the crowd and Shen Zhong in front of him, and looked at Feng Yu in front of him in disbelief, unable to hold back the tears in his eyes.
"You, you, is it really you?"
"What, is it possible that someone is really pretending to be me? Or have you forgotten me after not seeing each other for a year?"
Lu Jinyan wore a black cloak and red robe with a three-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it. This was the costume of the imperial court's Longziying camp and was exclusive to the emperor.
"You can do it, you have become the general of Longzi Camp."
Lu Jinyan looked at Feng Yu carefully and gave him a bear hug, "It's really you, it's really you, you're not dead after all!"
"Hey, my sword, my sword is stuck!"
Lu Jinyan let go of Feng Yu, wiped his tears, bowed on one knee, raised his hands together in front of his eyes, "Lu Jinyan has met His Highness King Huai in the Longzi Camp in the capital! I sincerely welcome His Highness back to the Tang Dynasty!"
At this moment, another group of soldiers on horseback arrived at the city gate, wearing the same clothes as Lu Jinyan, except that the black cloak was dark blue, and they were two ranks lower than him in rank.
"General, I will see His Royal Highness King Huai at the end! I sincerely welcome His Highness back to the Tang Dynasty!"
Feng Yu stretched out his hand to help Lu Jinyan up, and said to those behind him, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Lu Jinyan turned around and looked at the fat man angrily, "Shen, you are so brave! How dare you arrest His Highness Prince Huai? Do you really think you are lawless in Hengnan!"
Sheng Sheng also knew that he had been kicked against the iron plate, and without thinking he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, King Huai, have mercy on me, have mercy on me. This general, no, I am the last general. The last general also listened to other people's lies. I beg your highness to have mercy on you." !”
Feng Yu didn't want to pester anymore, "Did the person who asked you to arrest me say anything else?"
"No, no, it's just him. The general doesn't dare to disobey!"
It seems that those archers are indeed from a well-trained army. The closest one to here is the Falcon Camp. It seems that what Dad said is right.
"Forget it, let's all get up. You call it heavy, right?"
"If you return to Your Highness, it will be a heavy blow."
"According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, military and political affairs are separated. Soldiers cannot interfere in political affairs unless they receive orders. They can only provide assistance according to orders. I am right, right?"
"Your Highness taught you, taught me."
"When you return to camp, you will be punished with fifty pieces of board, demoted to centurion, and imprisoned by yourself."
Shen Sheng didn't expect it to end like this, so he raised his head and looked at Feng Yu with some doubts.
"Remember, no one or a word of your order should be passed on to anyone else. Otherwise, bring it up to see you!"
