Chapter 492 The road ahead is difficult and dangerous
The sun is blazing in the sky.
On Hubei's official road, countless people and horses marched toward western Sichuan.
The leader, tall and majestic, was none other than Zhu Gaoyang.
The mountain peaks are steep, and beyond the Qinba Mountains is the Shu region.
After trekking for three consecutive days, the soldiers of the fifth battalion were still in high spirits.
Zhu Gaoying also found his former self on horseback.
Only in such a turbulent time could Zhu Gaoyan think more calmly.
He was born a warrior, so how could he get used to being so restrained?
Live now, die now!
This is a bloody man!
Since that person wants to play these conspiracies with me, then I will accept them all!
How can the men of the Ming Dynasty be afraid of war?
Beside him, an old man was still trying to persuade him to return to the court.
Who suppressed a bandit and let the emperor lead the vanguard?
For those who didn’t know, they thought there was a magnesium army in Shiwandashan.
But Zhu Gaotian remained unmoved and just thought that this man's words fell on deaf ears.
From time to time I would reply with a few words to them.
"Mr. Su, the court must not be left without a master for a day. If you are here, wouldn't our capital be empty?"
Su Wu had long expected Zhu Gaoyen to ask this question and immediately replied:
"Your Majesty, why didn't you think about this when you ran out? Now you think about how empty your capital is?"
"We have already arranged for Mr. Yang to supervise the country first. I am here to persuade you to go back!"
At this moment, there was a slight movement in the grass, and the neighing of war horses nearby broke the rapid march of the army.
Zhu Gaoying immediately stopped his horse and waved his hand to warn everyone.
The rationality of leading troops in wars for many years told him that something was wrong here!
While everyone was on guard, the scout scouting the road ahead took the opportunity to come to Zhu Gaoyan, knelt down on one knee and said:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is a woman in the grass ahead, her clothes are shabby and she is unconscious!"
When Zhu Gaoying heard this, he was greatly surprised. When did the Ming Dynasty become so chaotic? Are they bandits again and road tyrants again?
Could it be that I have lived a peaceful life for too long?
Have you ignored the people at the bottom?
"Oh? Wake up that woman and bring her up!"
The scout received the order and immediately rushed into the grass.
Zhu Gaoyan closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of wind in his ears.
Why is there a comatose woman in this Taipingguan Road?
Is it possible that some people are so bold now that they even dare to rob things on official roads?
For a time, Zhu Gaoying imagined countless scenarios.
He didn't believe it. Could anyone really dare to rob official things?
Could it be that old people who eat arsenic think they will live longer?!
A cough from the side interrupted Zhu Gaoying's brainstorming. Zhu Gaoying looked around and saw Su Wu staring at him with unkind eyes.
"Your Majesty, the word "sex" is like a knife. Can a woman appear in this wilderness? We should be more careful!"
A guerrilla general next to him added at the right moment.
"Yes, Your Majesty, how many heroes have fallen in this step? Do we really want to follow in the footsteps of Shang Zhou?"
Zhu Gaoying was speechless when he heard the old man warning him.
"Do we look like the kind of person who gets interested in sex?"
"Do we look like the kind of people who can't walk around when they see a girl?!"
Su Wu and the guerrilla general looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"There are still people in our family, okay. I'm not going to eat the delicacies, so why don't I go out to eat wild food?"
Whenever he thinks of someone in his family, Zhu Gaoying feels guilty.
Since he ascended the throne, the two of them have not had a good relationship for a long time.
As soon as these words came out, the doubts of the two men were barely dispelled, but there was still a lot of distrust in the eyes looking at Zhu Gaoyan.
Zhu Gaotian was too lazy to argue with these two people anymore. Those who are clean will be clean. They don't believe me. I have said it ten thousand times to no avail.
Soon, the scouts brought the woman to Zhu Gaoyan.
I saw a young woman in her mid-20s, with picturesque features. Although her face was haggard, it was even more fragile. Although her clothes were disheveled, a large area of snowy white was exposed, which made me pity her even more.
I wish I could go right away and comfort him.
When Zhu Gaoying saw that the woman was as beautiful as a flower, his mind was swaying.
When the woman saw Zhu Gaoyan, she burst into tears.
When I glanced at the tiger and wolf master behind Zhu Gaoyan, I felt that the momentum was overwhelming!
"General, you have to make the decision for me!"
Zhu Gaoying suddenly became interested when he heard the woman's words.
"Oh? Why don't you tell us what happened?"
The woman's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she complained tearfully.
It turned out that they were originally from Sichuan with the surname Zhao, and they went back to Hubei Province to get married.
But who would have expected that they would encounter horse bandits on the way and the whole family would be killed and injured.
Her husband tried his best to let her escape.
But as a foreigner, how could she find her way home?
We could only hide and walk along the official road, but the sun was too bright today.
She was so empty that she accidentally fainted on the road. If she hadn't met Zhu Gaojing, she would have died.
When Zhu Gaotian heard this, he just felt that there was always something weird about it.
Not to mention anything else, just based on this woman's appearance, what kind of bandit can stand it?
If he can even endure this, you can say that he has given up drugs!
But Zhu Gaotian was just confused in his heart, but still looked distressed on his face.
"My poor little lady, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to go through this journey. With us here, I won't let my little lady be bullied again!"
When the young woman heard Zhu Gaoying's vow, she began to cry.
When Zhu Gaoying saw this, he felt sick in his heart, but he couldn't express it clearly, so he could only order the woman to be sent away first.
"Did Madam just say that we haven't had enough water and rice for a few days? It just so happens that we have some food here. Come, please bring us some dry food first!"
Although the woman's clothes were shabby, she was still well-educated. She first bowed to Zhu Gaoyan and then slowly began to eat the cake.
At this time, Zhu Gaoying finally figured out what was wrong with this matter!
If this person really hadn't eaten for several days, how could he still be so understanding of etiquette?
If this man was really killed by horse bandits,
How could she, a weak woman, outrun a bandit on a horse?
"Hahaha, Madam, it's been a hard journey, and the road ahead is long. If you only rely on Madam alone, I'm afraid it will only increase the danger."
When the woman heard Zhu Gaoying's words, she immediately said, "General, what can I, a little girl, do in these troubled times?"
Before he finished speaking, two lines of tears rolled down his face.
Zhu Gaotian gave her a big thumbs up in his heart.
If in later generations, this person would have deceived many big brothers!
But unfortunately, the person in front of him now is no one else, but Zhu Gaoying, who has experienced countless conspiracies and conspiracies in the 21st century!
Zhu Gaoyan pretends to be wrong:
"If you don't mind, our group is about to pass through Sichuan, so we can pick you up along the way."
The lady borrowed the donkey from the slope, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.
Zhu Gaoying chuckled and didn't say much when he saw the man taking the bait.
He just wanted to see what kind of medicine this man was selling in his gourd,!
