Chapter 1046: The ferry is blocked and the rebels rebel
Cui Zheng was furious when she saw a warrior who had been trampled under her husband's feet now dared to humiliate her.
It's just that when people are under the eaves, they have to lower their heads.
Cui Zheng looked at the hundreds of soldiers and generals surrounding the city wall, gritted her teeth and called Su Mingzhe, who was in charge of 'breaking the queen':
"Master Su, you are a native of Hezhong Prefecture, can you please accommodate everyone?"
Su Mingzhe looked at Xue Minggao, smiled, pointed to the east, and said:
"Madam, I know there is an abandoned temple not far ahead. How about we go there and stay overnight?"
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Su to lead the way."
Cui Zheng knew that there was no hope of entering the city tonight, so she had already made plans to sleep in the wild.
Now I was overjoyed to hear that there was a wilderness temple where I could rest.
Taking advantage of the darkness, everyone walked three ways eastward and came to a hilltop, where they saw a Lanruo Temple.
Lanruo is not the name of the temple, but refers to the type of temple, which means a temple located in a secluded forest.
This Lanruo Temple has been abandoned for a long time due to the military disaster, and even the plaque was burned.
The entire temple is complete only with the guardian god Wei Tuo guarding the door and the statue of Buddha enshrined in the main hall of the temple.
Zhao Zhenkun led people to clean out several clean rooms.
Su Mingzhe led the slave army into the mountains to hunt, and got some game for everyone to eat.
Mrs. Cui Zheng and her daughter waited for everyone to finish their busy work before slowly getting out of the carriage.
Su Mingzhe has long been looking forward to Cui Yingying's fame.
When a little girl in a pink dress helped a beautiful woman in an orange dress to step out of the carriage, Su Mingzhe confirmed that it was correct.
She is really the gorgeous Cui Yingying in the West Wing!
"Miss, look, Mr. Su is also fascinated by you!"
When the maid and matchmaker saw Su Mingzhe staring at her young lady, she felt both proud and contemptuous at the same time:
"It's a pity that he is a martial artist. Otherwise, his appearance would be worthy of a young lady."
"Matchmaker, stop talking nonsense!"
Cui Yingying, as the daughter of the former Prime Minister of the country, is already beautiful and graceful, and she has ice-cold skin that can outshine frost and snow.
When she was in Taiyuan in her early years, she was given the title of "the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty" by a group of lustful people.
Fortunately, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty loves courtiers, has the habit of Longyang, and does not like women. This allowed Cui Yingying to keep her innocence and meet Su Mingzhe.
The beauty gradually faded away, but Su Mingzhe felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat's claws.
"It's a bit overwhelming to have to sleep alone when a beauty is by your side."
Su Mingzhe's mind almost instantly came up with dozens of plans for being the groom tonight.
However, when he was really ready to take action, he shook his head and gave up this immoral idea:
"Forget it, as my first goal in this plane, I should try my best to use fair and just means..."
Can't sleep tonight.
The next day.
When Mrs. Cui Zheng and her daughter Cui Yingying got up and washed up, they saw Su Mingzhe leading sixteen "Yi Slave Army" to practice a strange military formation.
The Cui family and the Zheng family are both millennium-old families.
Cui Zheng and Cui Yingying are the wives and daughters of Cui Xiangguo, so they should be well-informed.
However, the mother and daughter looked at it for a long time, but they did not recognize the origin of the name of the military formation.
Of course, although the mother and daughter were curious about this novel military formation, they did not ask.
After all, in this era, the art of war and military formations are private knowledge passed down from family to family.
If you are not the best person in your family, you will not be able to get it.
As outsiders, mother and daughter naturally couldn't ask questions.
However, when Cui Zheng saw Su Mingzhe joining the military formation, her impression of him immediately improved a lot.
If it weren't for the fact that the threshold for the Su family in Hezhong was too low, it would be too far behind the Bolingcui family.
Mrs. Cui Zheng was determined to make Su Mingzhe her son-in-law.
Everyone had breakfast and continued on their way.
Traveled for three days.
The team has already left the jurisdiction of Hezhong Fucheng.
Seeing that they were approaching Puguan, everyone began to look for a ferry across the Yellow River.
If you want to go to Boling from Hezhong Prefecture, you have to go over mountains and climb Taihang Mountain.
The other option is to cross the border, reach the hinterland of the Central Plains, and then head north.
When the team arrived near the ferry, the escort who was scouting the way came back with a grimace.
Zhao Zhenkun couldn't believe it when he heard the news about the escort.
When he arrived at the ferry in person and saw the ferry surrounded by hundreds of tents, he ran back in disgrace.
"Madam, the ferry ahead has been occupied by Liang Jun, we can only take a detour."
"That's nonsense. With White Horse General Du Que in Hezhong Mansion, how could it be possible for Liang Jun to easily occupy the hinterland?"
Although Cui Zheng, like her husband, looked down upon Du Que, the white-horse general who came from a poor family, she still had great faith in Du Que's ability to lead an army in war.
Cui Zheng didn't hear the news about the fall of Puguan, so how could she believe that there were Liang troops in Puguan?
Cui Zheng didn't believe Zhao Zhenkun's report, so she came to the ferry to look at it herself.
When she saw the Daliang military flag in the middle of the ferry camp, she was immediately frightened and turned pale:
"Hurry and inform Mr. Su and ask if there is a path through?"
Liang Jun has already invaded Puguan without knowing it. I'm afraid the emperor of Taiyuan will soon be overthrown, right?
Just when Mrs. Cui Zheng was lamenting her ill-fated fate, Su Mingzhe strolled over.
When he heard that Liang Jun was blocking the road ahead, he laughed directly:
"Madam, it's just a few thousand rebels. Don't panic. I'll come as soon as I go!"
My dear, there will be more after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue. There will be more exciting things to come!
After Su Mingzhe said this, he ordered the "Yi Slave Army"
Guarding the team, he laughed amidst everyone's exclamations and walked towards the camp.
Hiding in the carriage, Cui Yingying and the matchmaker also heard what was going on outside.
When Cui Yingying thought about the treatment of the noble girl after being captured by the rebel soldiers, her face suddenly turned pale.
"No, I would rather die than be humiliated by the rebels!"
Cui Yingying was heartbroken and pulled out a blue dagger left by her father.
This dagger is called ‘Ephemera’.
Mayflies live in the morning and die in the evening.
The reason why this dagger is named like this is because as long as the skin is scratched by the blade, the poison will kill you in three seconds, which is shorter than the life of a mayfly.
When the matchmaker saw that her young lady actually took out the 'Ephemera', she immediately begged in panic:
"Miss, don't be confused. Since the man named Su has the courage to break into the military camp, he might be able to let us break through!"
"Don't worry, I won't seek death unless absolutely necessary."
Cui Yingying is not stupid, so she will not seek death now.
However, in her heart, she was not optimistic at all that Su Mingzhe broke into Liang Jun's camp alone.
The master and servant sat in the carriage and waited anxiously.
Mrs. Cui Zheng was also anxious.
I wanted to tell the team to retreat, but for some reason I couldn't give the order.
A moment.
Two quarters.
Three quarters.
…
In a blink of an eye.
An hour has passed.
It was almost noon when I saw it.
When Su Mingzhe entered the camp, it was like water dripping into a pond, without causing any ripples.
Mrs. Cui Zheng turned around for an unknown number of times before suddenly realizing a truth and immediately calmed down.
"Housekeeper, Head Guard Zhao, it's almost noon. I'm afraid Mr. Su will have a meal at Liang Jun's barracks. Let's make a fire to cook too!"
Facing Cui Zheng's order, Zhao Zhenkun quickly dissuaded him:
"Madam, you can't light a fire! This is only a stone's throw away from the camp. If we light a fire, our whereabouts will be discovered. If we try to leave again, it will be too late!"
Faced with the dissuasion, Ms. Cui Zheng's sharp eyes flashed with wisdom:
"Master Su has already entered Liang Jun's camp for an hour. If something were to happen, it would have happened long ago..."
