Emperor Qing was dissatisfied that King Jin would win the hearts of the people through this battle, and he was also afraid that the eldest prince would seek power and usurp the throne. At this time, when he went to ask for an order, he was just running into a gun and being exploited.
If he fails to deliver it in time, then the emperor will use his hand to remove the King of Jin, and he will be beheaded for delaying the military plane; if it is delivered, from then on, he and the eldest prince will have a grudge, and the two tigers will When you fight, you will get hurt!
For Emperor Qing, no matter how he calculated, it was a good move to kill two birds with one stone and punish each other. Gu Changwu was shocked, the current emperor really knew how to calculate well!
But how could the wily Gu Changwu let his favorite youngest son go into such troubled waters? So Gu Changwu made a trick and replaced Gu Fan with Gu Yan, who was escorting the grain and grass.
After all, they all take care of their families, there is no difference. If there is an accident on the way and he is convicted, it will not be his beloved youngest son who dies.
But Gu Yan thought that Gu Changwu had given him a chance to perform in front of the emperor, and he was very excited about it.
Soon, the news that Gu Yan was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass reached Shu Yao's ears. At the end of the day, Shu Yao felt uneasy, always feeling that something would happen to Gong Yun'ao's grain and grass.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses need to eat grains and cereals. No matter what dynasty it is, it is an unbreakable truth that before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass must go first. Without food and grass, the soldiers and horses will collapse in minutes.
Pearl looked at her anxious look and asked, "Miss, why are you so restless?"
"I'm worried that there will be problems with Third Brother's grain and fodder on the way to escort. You must know that escorting grain and fodder to ensure the stability of the military's morale is even more important than winning a battle." Shu Yao was restless, not even eating her favorite pastries. Fragrant.
Pearl said sternly: "With Gu Yan as the escort officer and so many officers and soldiers escorting us, there should be no problem."
Shu Yao leaned on the chair, with her right hand on the table, tapping her index finger repeatedly, and said solemnly: "What you said is correct, but it is difficult to prevent open guns and hidden arrows, and what they are escorting is food and grass, which is the most important thing." It’s easy to go wrong.”
"If Miss is worried, how about my servant hiding in the dark with Miss and escorting her quietly? I believe it will be delivered to Prince Jin smoothly."
Pearl thought for a while, with a hint of joking in her tone: "In this case, the young lady can meet Prince Jin and relieve the pain of lovesickness that she has been feeling for a long time."
When Shu Yao heard this, she actually laughed angrily. When did this girl become so bold and make fun of her? "Stinky Pearl, what are you talking about!"
"Oh, the young lady actually became angry because of what she said," Pearl said jokingly, and ran to Fengchen's yard next door with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Shu Yao chased after him and passed through the Moon Gate. Feng Chen saw the scene of two people playing and fighting, "Why are you crazy!"
Pearl quickly hid behind Feng Chen and said shamelessly: "Miss wants to be crowned king."
"Ouch?" What's going on? One day is like three autumns, but why didn't I see it? Feng Chen secretly guessed.
"Listen to her nonsense." Shu Yao glared at her, sat down at the square table in the courtyard, and said seriously: "Feng Chen, Gu Yan is the escort officer in charge of this food and grass transportation. I am worried..."
Feng Chen grabbed her words and said, "Are you worried that if there is an accident with the food and grass, or if someone deliberately fails to deliver it in time, King Jin will lose the battle?"
"You are the only one who is smart." Shu Yao said angrily.
"Then what are we waiting for? You came to me to tell me this, don't you just have an idea?" Feng Chen said with a smile, holding a peanut in his hand, tossing it in the air and throwing it directly into his mouth.
Shu Yao said hurriedly: "It seems that you know your boss very well!"
"Of course." Feng Chen looked arrogant.
Pearl thought for a while and then said: "If the eldest young master doesn't have important matters, it would be best to bring him along!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Yao realized that she hadn't seen her eldest brother for a long time. She said, "Well! My eldest brother is working in the Three Thousand Battalion of Xuan Mansion far away. It's not appropriate to move around."
This time, Gu Yan was responsible for the escort of the grain and grass, and all grain and grass dispatching was under his command.
Shu Yao, Pearl, and Feng Chen disguised themselves as businessmen and secretly escorted them. Along the way, they ate and slept in the open, but nothing unusual was found during the process.
However, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain was about to come.
Shu Yao looked up at the sky and frowned slightly. The rain came at the right time.
At this time, from a distance, I saw a large number of officers and soldiers protecting the carts of grain and grass with rainproof cloth in order not to damage the grain and grass.
There was a "click" sound, lightning and thunder, and a heavy rain was coming.
Just when the convoy was about to find a place to take shelter from the rain, Gu Yan saw a group of men in black coming to kill them not far away, and he was immediately shocked.
Immediately, he shouted loudly and immediately became vigilant, "Be careful to protect the food and grass, be vigilant."
At this time, the leader of the men in black gave an order, and they held up black objects in their hands and threw them at the military ration truck. Suddenly, four or five unknown objects flew in the air.
With a "crack" sound, a large number of officers and soldiers pulled out their sabers from their waists, and each of them nervously stared at the unknown object glanced over by the man in black.
Gu Yan thought it was a hidden weapon, and swung out the sharp sword in his hand. The sword flashed like silver light in the air, and the unknown objects were chopped down by Gu Yan several times and fell to the ground.
In an instant, the masked man in black immediately fell down on the spot. However, half a cup of tea passed, and it seemed that they had not waited for the result they expected...
After a while, a group of men in black looked at each other with surprise and suspicion. How could this happen?
The leading man in black flashed his stern eyes and threw four or five unknown black objects. Then, they turned their backs to the enemy, held their heads in their hands, and waited for the coming roar.
The officers and soldiers were on full alert and prepared to see what was happening, but they were all fooled by the enemy's confusing behavior.
What are they doing?
Feng Chen hid behind a big tree not far away and said as if he had discovered a new world: "Boss, look what they threw out?"
Shu Yao narrowed her eyes and said solemnly, "It's a grenade."
Feng Chen gloated and whispered: "From this point of view, these people must be from the Nether Palace. The few grenades they threw were all dumb, hahahaha... Boss, I really have you. This time, Beiming
I was so angry at night."
Pearl whispered: "I didn't expect that they would dare to hijack military rations."
Seeing that there was no response for a long time, the leading man in black suddenly became furious. He stood up suddenly and cursed: "Bitch, you are all a dud. How dare you deceive the Lord?!"
The leader of the men in black showed murderous intent, "Go ahead, kill them."
In an instant, the official road was filled with masked men in black. Facing so many enemies, the officers and soldiers clenched their swords a little tighter.
The officers and soldiers escorting the grain and grass were surrounded. With the group of men in black at the center, an extremely powerful force of pressure came crazily from all directions.
Gu Yan stepped forward with his sword in hand, his fierce aura showing, "Who are you? How brave are you to rob the army rations? Do you know that robbing the army rations is a capital crime?"
The leader of the men in black arrogantly threatened: "What is being robbed is your military rations, take your lives!"
"You are extremely bold and dare to hijack the army rations. I will cut your corpses into thousands of pieces." After saying this, Gu Yan looked at his men and shouted: "Without the army rations, none of us will survive. No one will be spared. We will kill you."
go out……"
All the officers and soldiers shouted: "Yes, protect the rations and kill them!"
"You don't know what you can do." The masked man in black who led him snorted coldly and immediately rushed into the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, officers and soldiers and men in black were mixed together, swords and silhouettes flashed, soldiers clashed, fighting sounds were heard everywhere, sword shadows continued, and blood dripped.
Seeing this scene, Feng Chen, who was hiding in the dark, was so frightened that he panicked. He said impatiently: "Boss, they are starting to fight. Look, so many people have died. Where is your Qiankun Spin Knife? There is no need to update it now."
When?"
Shu Yao said calmly: "Why are you so anxious? Can you stop being so panicked?"
Feng Chen was so panicked that he couldn't speak coherently, "Boss, panic is my specialty."
"It's already a mess now. The Qiankun Revolving Knife is too powerful and will hurt your own people." After Shu Yao finished speaking, he took out the Qiankun Revolving Knife from his waist and disassembled it in a few clicks.
Pearl was lying on the big tree, observing the situation in the distance, and asked: "Miss, didn't you say you can't use it?"
Shu Yao said calmly: "It's okay without the sparks in the sky." After saying that, the six scimitars were placed in the palm of his hand. Immediately, "Whoosh whoosh..." There was a sound of piercing the air, and the six flying knives flashed with dazzling blue.
The light whizzes away.
Within a few rounds, all the killer moves were unleashed.
There was a muffled sound of "Bang..." and the sound of swords clashing one after another. In an instant, wherever the flying knife passed, it instantly turned into a burst of blood mist, and six men in black fell down one after another, killing them on the spot.
In an instant, the painful screams of the men in black spread throughout the forest, so frightened that the birds fell down. The official road seemed to have become a purgatory on earth, and all the men in black fell down in a pool of blood.
On the official road, there was an unpleasant smell of blood.
Gu Yan rushed into the crowd and fought hard to kill the enemy. He was shocked when he saw the sharp sword coming towards him. He quickly raised the blade. However, the tip of the opponent's sword passed through his chest, instantly creating a gash.
.
Just when Gu Yan thought he had escaped disaster, another sword energy came towards him in mid-air. Seeing that Gu Yan was defeated, he was about to become the soul of the man in black.
At this time, he noticed a scimitar flying towards him on the left, "Ding!" A crisp sound sounded, and the scimitar as fast as the wind passed in front of him, cutting off the sharp sword of the man in black.
At the critical moment, Gu Yan took a closer look and saw that it was Shu Yao who saved him.
"Master Gu, I'm here to save you." At this time, Feng Chen jumped up and came to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Yao and Pearl appeared in front of him instantly. Gu Yan watched them join the battle in disbelief, and had mixed feelings for a while.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yan rushed away from the attack of the men in black and faced Feng Chen back to back.
"Because my boss calculated that you will be in danger!" At this time, Feng Chen did not forget to tease.
Gu Yan saw one of the men in black attacking Feng Chen's left shoulder, and reminded him in horror, "Feng Chen, be careful."
Feng Chen faced him with a sword and knocked away the opponent's sharp sword. He used his hands to break off the fingers of the man in black, then he jumped up in the air with a flying knee and hit the black man with a heavy punch.
The man in clothes was knocked to the ground.
Then he turned around, swung his legs back, put his whole body weight on his knees, and pressed heavily on the man in black, causing the man in black to die from anger.
