Chapter 960: Suspension of the Inn, Shen Tang’s Wrath
Not long after, Yi Cheng led a group of servants out carrying bowls of hot rice soup!
At this moment, Qingqiu hurriedly ran out with a bit of nervousness, "Sir, my young lady has some physical inconveniences and wants to stay here for a day's rest!"
"oh?"
Shen Tang looked gloomy, "I'll go take a look!"
About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Tang came back and told Shen Qiu beside him, "Stay here for one day and leave tomorrow!"
No one is surprised, after all, women... there will always be inconveniences!
Shen Tang and others stopped, but the two fast horses quietly left the inn and headed towards Hanzhou!
Although Yicheng was a little surprised that Shen Tang and others were temporarily staying at the inn, he naturally didn't ask any more questions.
Furthermore, the dry food brought by Shen Tang and his party was enough, he just needed to entertain them well.
At night, after dinner, Shen Tang entered the room!
Although Shen Tang only allowed one guest room to be prepared, Yi Cheng was not a fool, and of course he would not let Shen Tang sleep peacefully in the tent with these personal guards.
In the room, Shen Tang was sitting alone. On the table in front of him was a piece of light letter paper, which was exactly the letter that the personal guard had given him before.
The reason why I stayed at this inn was not because of Zhao Ling.
In other words, this is just an excuse Shen Tang found through Zhao Ling! As for the reason, it is exactly the content of this letter.
It's very simple. The letter says: On Jiangyang Mountain, fifteen miles away from Hanzhou, there are three thousand people in ambush! Moreover, they are carrying as many as five hundred powerful crossbows!
If it were a head-on battle, even though Shen Tang only had a thousand people, he could still fight with these three thousand people.
However, now that the enemy is exposed and we are hidden, and the enemy has more powerful crossbows, if he rushes in rashly, his personal guards will also suffer heavy damage.
What's more, there is also Zhao Ling! Whether it is from a personal standpoint or from the court's perspective, Zhao Ling must not be allowed to take risks!
As for where this letter came from, or whether it was true or false, Shen Tang also thought about it! Knowing such a secret, why not just find him secretly?
This is a huge achievement! It’s a bit intriguing that the news was delivered without revealing the identity! However, this also indicates one thing, that is, there may be a huge figure hidden behind this army. !Even compared to the other party, even the imperial envoy himself is quite different.
And this is probably one of the things that the person behind the message is worried about!
As for the origin of this army and horses, it has not been mentioned in the letter, and I have no clues for the time being! The two eunuchs and the general of Yun'an Army have been killed by me. It stands to reason that although there are some omissions, do these people dare to It's one thing to come, but even if you dare to come, it's not easy to gather an army of soldiers and horses! Could it be that the person behind it was the one I guessed at the beginning?
However, it doesn’t make sense! Now this is the territory of Tongchuan Prefecture. To mobilize a force of soldiers and horses in such a short period of time and pass through many state capitals to ambush oneself in a different place, how terrifying is the power required?
The most important thing is that intercepting and killing the imperial envoy and the princess must be done by the most trusted people. If someone leaks the information and suffers backlash, no one can bear it.
As for whether what was said in this letter was false, Shen Tang had no doubts! I am afraid that few people would be bored enough to make such a joke with an imperial envoy! Furthermore, even if it was true, it was just a joke. It’s just Shen Tang’s delay, there will be no loss at all!
"Brother Shen!"
Zhao Ling called softly and pushed the door open after receiving a response!
"Did something happen?"
Zhao Ling asked curiously.
Shen Tang thought for a while, and then said directly, "Yes, I got a secret report that there is a troop of three thousand soldiers on Jiangyang Mountain ahead, who want to ambush us!"
"ah!"
Zhao Ling exclaimed, and Qingqiu behind her was also full of fear! What happened last time was still vivid in his mind, but he didn't expect that just more than ten days later, he was intercepted and killed again! This Song Dynasty When did our world become so strange and terrifying?
"Don't worry, Princess, I have sent people to mobilize the troops! They can be wiped out tonight.
At that time, as long as I find any clues, no matter who is behind it, I will not let him go!"
There was a bit of murderous intent in Shen Tang's words. He was not a compassionate Madonna. Up to now, at least hundreds of thousands of people had died directly or indirectly in his hands! Moreover, Shen Tang was really attracted by these little people hiding in the dark. The bugs are annoying!
First it was Xingyuan Prefecture, then Xiningshan and Kuizhou, and now he actually wants to do it again! Do you think you are too weak as an imperial envoy, or do you think your methods are too poor?
It seems that the previous shock is not enough. The person behind it must be found out and the next ruthless attack can be done to let some people really know who they are!
"How dare you intercept and kill us? Could it be that these people want to rebel?"
After Zhao Ling was surprised, there was not much fear on his face, "Brother Shen, I will write to the emperor later, and as long as the person behind it is found, the court will directly punish him!"
Shen Tang agreed with a smile, but he was noncommittal in his heart! First of all, there are some things that cannot be found with tangible evidence. Secondly, even if something is really found, Zhao Shen may have more concerns than himself! However, these Naturally, there is no need to tell Zhao Ling about the matter.
"Princess, please go and rest quickly, we will get up and go on our way tonight!"
Shen Tang said.
"ah?"
Zhao Ling was a little surprised, but he nodded obediently and did not ask further questions, "Brother Shen should also go to bed early!"
Yes, although he temporarily lives in this inn, Shen Tang does not completely trust this inn, including the content of this letter! If the person behind this letter deliberately wants to make himself suspicious. If you stop in Zhongjiang County, then this inn or returning to Zhongjiang County are the only options! So, who knows whether the people behind this will have arrangements at these two locations?
Although this possibility is not high, Shen Tang must consider all possibilities!
At midnight, Shen Chou's voice sounded softly outside the door.
"Sir, everything is ready!"
Inside the house, Shen Tang had already finished dressing! He knocked on the door of the building next to him, and not long after, Qingqiu and Zhao Ling also dressed up and walked out!
"According to your instructions, the people at the post station were not alarmed! After everyone left the inn, the troops were divided into three groups, with more than 300 people in each group, going in different directions, just in case! Now, we are just waiting for your instructions, Which way is going in which direction!"
