Chapter 274: Slight change of mood, return to camp
Following the low official's roar, the people who were already extremely panicked could no longer hold on. First, the honor guard team dispersed in a hurry, and then, it turned out to be the soldiers who were guarding them.
These soldiers were not soldiers of the border army, but the Imperial Guards of Lin'an.
Nowadays, the Imperial Guards have already become the old army. They are still barely able to show off, but if they want to actually go to the battlefield to fight, it is really difficult for them. Facing the charge of the Jin Kingdom cavalry, they have no choice at all. The courage to resist. He threw the weapon aside, took off the armor on his body, and then ran away as fast as possible!
The collapse of the entire team caused the messenger team that was still able to persevere to lose its last courage!
Seeing the soldiers on the opposite side coming to kill him, Shen Tang looked at the panicked people and shouted, "Run away..."
The messenger team did have some horses, but in the panic, how could everyone get on the saddle and mount the stirrups? The few who managed to do so could barely climb onto the back of the horse, but even so, how could they compare to the speed of a real war horse?
It's slow to say, but within a moment after everyone started running away, the rushing knights caught up with a few lone people. The sharp scimitars fell, blood splashed, and screams floated around here. The silent dark night made everyone in Shen Hall lose their last will.
Shen Tang, like others, threw away the scattered things, then rushed in front of his horse, got on his horse, and rushed in a random direction.
However, not long after he rushed out, he felt the sound of horse hooves behind him gradually disappearing. He reined in the horse's reins, turned around and looked behind him, but saw that there was no one behind him, and the others had already disappeared.
After reining in his horse and dismounting, he randomly found a big tree, leaned against it and fell into silence.
Those people just now were certainly not Jin soldiers. Although the leader spoke the Jin language, it was too simple for Zhang Jun! When he saw many people being hacked to death, Even though Shen Tang didn't like these people, and even felt a little disgusted with them, even so, Shen Tang couldn't help but relent. Even, at the last moment, he almost stepped forward and canceled the action directly.
However, now that it has started, it is impossible to stop it. If the action is canceled at this time, not only will the subsequent peace talks be out of control, but even Zhang Jun will be implicated. Therefore, he has to grit his teeth and endure it. Come down.
With a long sigh, Shen Tang said quietly to himself, "Oh, I know that doing this is unfair to you. But if you don't do this, it will be unfair to the entire Song Dynasty and thousands of millions of people." The unfairness of the surname is also unfair to those soldiers who fought bloody battles. You...may not deserve to die, but if it happens again, I, Shen Tang, will still not regret it!"
Shen Tang just sat blankly under the big tree, looking up at the sky, and the look in his eyes gradually changed from hesitation and hesitation to determination. He was not a hard-hearted person, but when he had to make a choice At that time, he would not regret it. At this moment, he finally understood what Zhang Jun said, "If one day, I become an obstacle to the Song Dynasty, then don't hesitate to use the most direct means to kill me." Get rid of it, this is what you should do."
There is no clear boundary between right and wrong, let alone any specific distinction. What is wrong for some people may be right for others.
The night passed slowly, and in the early morning of the next day, Shen Tang, with red eyes, dragged the horse in a somewhat embarrassed manner and walked slowly towards the previous camp.
When he arrived at the original camp, he saw the same team stationed on the side of the camp. However, this team was obviously the Song army! Several of the originally messy tents were set up again, and there were ten Several minor officials who had originally fled last night gathered together. However, they sat speechless to each other, and their expressions were still uneasy! The envoy team had just entered the realm of the Kingdom of Jin, and the deputy envoy Wang Zhi died, making Shen Tang unaware Where to go, how to proceed with this mission.
The slight sound of horse hoofbeats made these people raise their heads. When they saw Shen Tang returning in embarrassment, they immediately jumped up, with a look of surprise finally appearing on their faces.
"Master Shen..."
Everyone rolled and crawled towards Shen Tang. At the same time, several of the soldiers also came out and rushed towards Shen Tang.
"Master Shen, are you okay?"
Everyone asked in a hurry.
Shen Tang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Last night I ran away randomly and got into a dense forest. I guess those Jin people didn't find me, so I escaped! What about you? Who are they?" "
While he was talking, a general wearing black armor came to Shen Tang.
"I have met Lord Shen! I am Wang Meng, the general under General Shao who is stationed in Lingbi City. After you all left Lingbi, we discovered that there were many Jin stragglers in the north of Lingbi. In fact, here These rangers existed before. However, they were unable to attack the city we occupied, so we ignored them. However, General Shao felt a little uneasy when he thought of you all heading north, so he wrote to Prime Minister Zhang, so Prime Minister Zhang ordered Shao to The general sent out several groups of elite cavalry to go as far into the north as possible, in order to prevent your lords from encountering danger."
"Last night we were wandering not far away, but we heard the movement here. However, when we arrived, many adults had been killed by the Jin soldiers. We defeated the Jin soldiers and only killed these adults. Saved."
"I waited for the rescue to arrive late, so I hope you will forgive me. When we return to Lingbi, we will definitely apologize to the Lord General!"
"What are you guilty of..." Shen Tang said with a wry smile, "We can only survive because of your rescue, and we should be grateful to you."
Wang Meng did not respond, but continued to talk to himself: "In addition, last night I ordered the horse to send the news back to Sizhou. I believe that Zhang Xiang will have new orders soon. Your Excellencies, please wait here. A day or two."
Shen Tang nodded, "In this case, it will be a big help to you generals."
Wang Meng turned around and left, and a group of minor officials greeted Shen Tang and entered a tent. Now, the envoy team was out of ten. Shen Tang naturally needed to make an idea whether everyone should continue forward or return to Lin'an first.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the camp, one of them stood up and said to Shen Tang, "Master Shen, no one would have thought that we would encounter such a disaster just after we entered the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom. What should we do next? , the adults still need to make a decision."
