Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 22 Bait
"Hehe, Jiang Feng, Sister Hongling has fallen in love with you and wants to elope with you!"
Seeing Ye Feng's confused look, Yun'er was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so she laughed so hard after saying this.
She naturally knew what Hongling was thinking.
Jiang Meiliang had only been walking for four days. Because he wanted to hide his whereabouts and not attract anyone's attention, he rode an ordinary horse. He only traveled seven or eight hundred miles a day, so his speed was not very fast.
If she and Ye Feng hit the road now, ride on the best horses, and don't have to worry about anything, and travel day and night, they can catch up in seven or eight days.
This time when Jiang Meiliang returns to Beijing, there will definitely be no peace and there will definitely be no shortage of interceptions and killings. It is basically impossible to hide his identity throughout the whole process.
Because at Zihan Pass, which is three thousand miles away from the capital, the interrogation is extremely strict, so the identity cannot be hidden and the whereabouts must be exposed there.
Behind Zihan Pass is another thousand miles of red land, which is an excellent place for sniping. Those who intercept and kill must be there to relax and wait for their work.
The reason why Jiang Meiliang disguised herself was not to avoid inspection at Zihan Pass, she just wanted to catch the interception officers off guard.
Because if her whereabouts were discovered only at Zihan Pass, it would obviously be too late for the interception personnel to quickly set up a sniper trap.
There are roads all over the thousands of miles of red land. No one can control Jiang Meiliang on how to go. He can only rely on tracking and reporting, and then sniping.
Qianli Chidi is called the Golden Basin Desert. As the name suggests, it is a huge basin. No one knows how to get through it, but there is only one exit.
A pass was set up at the exit, called Jin'ai Pass. It was the last line of defense outside the capital and was heavily deployed.
Originally, intercepting someone at the exit would be the most reliable and impossible to miss, but that place is only ten miles away from Jin'ai Pass, so it's very easy to expose his whereabouts.
So they will arrange the final interception there, but it is by no means the main location. It can only become a place of desperate measures.
Jin'ai Pass was the best choice for Hong Ling to meet up with Jiang Meiliang, so she didn't need to deliberately seek information along the way. She just had to go at full speed and arrive in front of them.
"Hahahaha, sister Yun'er, you really know how to think. I will do as you say."
When Hong Ling heard Yun'er's words, her eyes lit up, and then she laughed.
"No way! Sister Hongling, your image really doesn't suit you!"
Hong Ling praised her, but Yun'er was stunned and blinked her big beautiful eyes, not understanding what Hong Ling meant.
"Hehe, it's not me! Look at Jiang Feng, he has tender skin and a good figure. If he pretends to be a young lady, and we set out blatantly, will we attract those guys over?"
Hong Ling stared at Ye Feng exaggeratedly and smiled evilly.
"Ah, bait, that's such a good idea!"
Yun'er reacted immediately, clapped her hands and cheered.
"No, I'm a man, and I'm much taller than Sister Meiliang!"
When Ye Feng heard this, he rolled his eyes and told him to dress up as a woman. It was really outrageous.
"You don't need to worry about this, and you are not allowed to wear skirts. We wear armor, ride war horses, are fully armed, and go on the road openly."
Hong Ling rolled her eyes at Ye Feng, unable to help him tell the difference.
"That's right, the lady's hard-earned horse is very fast. You are galloping all the way. As long as you and the lady dress up the same, just show your face and put on a little makeup, no one can see clearly."
Yun'er was very supportive of Hong Ling's idea, and what she said was clear and logical.
"Jiang Feng, you don't know how to do this and are not willing to help!"
Seeing Ye Feng's unwillingness, Hongling showed a trace of displeasure and continued:
"Jiang Feng, the risk is extremely high for the young lady to return to the capital this time. There will be many interceptions and killings along the way. No one except the Taiwei wants to see the young lady in the capital. If we pretend to be her, we can attract the enemy's attention.
The lady is sneaking in plain clothes. As long as they relax their vigilance and keep an eye on us, the lady will be much safer.
You are so good at martial arts. With the two of us, together with brothers Zhigao and Zhiyuan, even if we encounter an ambush, we can fight our way through. The more we kill and the more thoroughly we kill, the safer the lady will be."
"Okay! I just don't want to pretend to be a girl."
Ye Feng muttered softly and agreed.
However, his words made Yun'er and Hongling laugh so much that they almost couldn't stand up straight.
Just do what you have to do, it's only noon now, so you can get ready and set off.
This was originally a military camp, and the marching equipment was easily prepared. As for Ye Feng's equipment, it was not a problem. Jiang Meiliang left in casual clothes and left everything behind.
The armor is large and wide, so wearing it is not a problem. The only thing is the helmet. After a lot of effort, I finally found the same style that suits Ye Feng's head shape.
Zhigao and Zhiyuan are twin brothers, captains of thousands of guards, and their martial arts are naturally not weak. It is extremely simple to transfer them. Just say hello to Jiang Ming, and Jiang Ming will arrange the rest.
While they were preparing, Yun'er had already prepared lunch. The five of them had a good meal and were ready to set off.
Before leaving, Yun'er cried so hard that Ye Feng didn't know what was wrong.
Hong Ling and the other three were fine. They had long been used to it. Every time there was a war, Yun'er would stay in the military camp, and she would burst into tears every time.
What Ye Feng didn't expect was that before he could find any words of comfort, Yun'er had already put on a smiling face and said auspicious farewell words.
"Ye Feng, Yun'er is a good girl. She couldn't bear to leave us and was afraid of getting into trouble, so she cried and laughed at the same time."
As soon as they left the military camp, Hongling explained to Ye Feng.
"Oh, that's it!"
As soon as Hongling reminded him, Ye Feng understood immediately.
Thinking about it, Yun'er felt uncomfortable after all. It was like this in the army. Whenever relatives went to war, they might be farewell forever. Everyone would feel uneasy, but there was nothing they could do. All that was left was deep thoughts and blessings.
"Guiyuan City is six hundred miles away. We can reach it before dark, but we have to pretend to be in a hurry to get to Beijing, so we don't stop at Guiyuan City.
We pass through the city and can reach Jinyuan City, which is 900 miles away, in the middle of the night. We rest in Jinyuan City for one night and give those people some time to deliver the news and prepare."
Hongling revealed the action plan.
Ye Feng didn't understand anything, so he naturally had no objections. Brothers Zhigao and Zhiyuan seemed to admire Hongling very much, so they naturally followed her.
"Jiang Feng, I will open the way in front, you are in second position, Zhigao, Zhiyuan, you are in the rear. I will take care of everything along the way, Jiang Feng, just don't say anything."
Hong Ling finally explained.
"I know, Sister Hongling!"
Ye Feng responded in one breath.
Of course he won't cause trouble. Besides, he knows nothing and can't do anything he wants to do.
"drive!"
The order was taken, and Hong Ling was no longer sloppy. She clamped her legs together, slapped her on the back with the bright silver gun in her hand, shouted in her mouth, and a bloody horse shot out from her crotch.
"drive!"
Not to be outdone, Ye Feng followed suit and galloped away with his horse.
