Groups of soldiers and horses rushed out of the mountains, forests and ravines. They were wearing military uniforms and did not need to hide their tracks. They were galloping on the roads and roads, passing through the fields and villages.
When the bandits were doing evil in the villages near Dou County, some people ran to the county town or went to other places to seek refuge with relatives and friends. Later, Dou County town began to expand the outer city. They had a place to live, food, money to earn, and they were safe during the winter farming slack. More
The people then moved their families into the city.
The village was sparsely populated, especially these days when soldiers and soldiers from Dou County patrolled frequently. They informed every household in the village about the military rebellion in Xuanwu Dao and asked everyone to move into the county seat or leave Dou County to seek relatives and friends.
However, no matter how dangerous the warning was, the moment the danger was not seen, some people were still reluctant to leave their hometown. They heard the sound of horse hooves outside, and some scattered villagers looked around uneasily. They were relieved when they saw the people and horses passing by wearing military uniforms.
"They must be soldiers and horses from Huainan Road."
"It's the direction to the county."
"The county always says there will be danger if there are rebels, so the state government sends troops and horses for reinforcements."
"Hey, if you say so, is the danger of war and chaos mentioned by the county true?"
The villagers gathered to discuss whether to leave or not. Not long after, they saw someone stumbling along the road outside the village with a load on his shoulders. It was difficult for him to run in such a hurry and the goods in the load were not all dropped. He was a salesman.
, is not a local. He escaped from the mountain bandits some time ago. However, he did not go to live in the county town. Instead, he became a salesman who traveled to the villages and went to the city to sell goods. He lived in this village every day.
People in the village often tease him that he should live in the city. There are more people in Dou County and more business. The thin salesman uses a foreign accent to explain that there are many people in Dou County and he can't grab the business. It's better to go out and do business.
No one competed with him.
"Salesman, why are you running away? Are you robbing money?" the villagers shouted.
The salesman did not respond to their jokes as shyly as before. His face was full of horror: "The officers and soldiers are attacking the county town! Everyone, run away!"
There was a moment of silence at the head of the village.
Those officers and soldiers who passed by? Were they not soldiers from Huainan Road? They attacked the county town? So they were rebels?
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
"The soldiers and horses on the outer city wall fought back and killed many officers and soldiers."
"Rivers of blood!"
Accompanied by the shouts of the salesman, the silence in the village was broken, and the villagers scattered. They either went home to pack their things and prepare to escape, or they went into the cellar behind closed doors to avoid trouble, and did not care about the whereabouts of the salesman.
The salesman was still running forward and crossed the village. He dropped his burden and no longer staggered in his steps. He was running very fast, and his thin body was walking along the path like a black shadow.
As a scout of the Zhenwu Army, he has become as familiar here as he was in Mobei in a short period of time. Wu Yaer took his cronies in and out of the city and ordered him to stay outside Dou County. Although it was not convenient to inquire about news in the city,
When something happens in the city, you can spread the news in time without being trapped.
Dou County's inspections are too strict, so it's better to stay outside. As expected, Dou County's city gate is now tightly closed, and flies can't fly in or out.
Although he can only see the superficial appearance for the time being, this does not prevent him from spreading the news in a timely manner.
Wu Ya'er, who was traveling on the way to the capital, was discussing the news from the capital when he received the news from Dou County.
I went to visit Liang Zhen in the capital a few years ago and was deeply touched by what he encountered and saw, so he left someone in the capital when he left so that the latest news from the capital could be delivered to him in a timely manner.
So he kept hearing about things that happened in the capital along the way. He knew that Cui Zheng had blamed Quan Hai for the Xuanwu Taoist rebellion, and that the emperor was protecting Quan Hai and ignoring Cui Zheng and other courtiers...
"The boss actually left the capital?" Old Han couldn't believe the news, "Let's not talk about whether he was greedy for so much salary. Does the fourth master know how to be greedy for money?"
Liang Zhen's fourth son was a bit dull and incompetent in both civil and military affairs, so he did not join the army and go to the battlefield, but this also allowed him to live a stable life until now.
"Judging from the description of the news, the people who framed the Fourth Master and the young masters were not seeking their lives, but forcing Mr. Liang to leave the capital." Wu Ya'er said.
"What's the use of forcing him to leave the capital?" A man frowned in confusion, "Mr. Liang no longer has military power."
"But he is the closest governor to the emperor." Wu Ya'er sat in front of the fire and knocked on his legs that were sore from the journey, "He can still see the emperor at any time, and the emperor also trusts him, and if he
Raising one's arms in the capital, the remaining power of a lifetime of fighting cannot be underestimated..."
At this point his voice stopped.
When does the emperor need someone to cheer him up?
"Crow." A man came running out of the night, "The latest news from Dou County is that there are soldiers and horses besieging the county. They should be the same group of soldiers and horses we have seen."
This news didn't surprise them too much, they had already guessed it before.
"Sure enough, Dou County has started to have military turmoil." Wu Ya'er said, "Huainan Road is also going to be in turmoil."
There was a military riot in Fengcheng, and the governor of Xuanwu Dao was accused. Xuanwu Dao is now in chaos. If there is a military riot in Dou County, Huainan Road will definitely be accused. Officials from both places will be accused. If there is no one, who will benefit?
?
Peaceful West Zhejiang Road.
"This is Ande Zhong's purpose." Wu Ya'er said.
The vicious mountain bandits suddenly broke out, and Dou County's hidden troops were stationed and trained. When the soldiers started to cause chaos, Dou County, which had already fallen into their hands, took advantage of the situation.
"Crow, the aunt is still there." Old Han stood up and said in a solemn voice, "The name of the Zhenwu Army will be used as a target."
The rebels attacked the Zhenwu Army in Dou County, and the melee made it appear that the army was in chaos. If this happened, Mrs. Wu of the Zhenwu Army would be in danger.
They didn't care whether Mrs. Wu was in danger or not. What they cared about was Mrs. Wu who was being held hostage behind.
The other men all stood up with a roar: "Let's take our troops and go to Dou County quickly."
Wu Yaer stood up, and someone came rushing towards him in the dark night.
"Something happened in the capital. Prime Minister Cui said that the emperor was kidnapped by Quan Hai. He ordered Wu Zhang to lead troops and horses to surround the imperial city. The emperor's imperial edict came from the palace. The prime minister rebelled and summoned twelve guards from all over the world to come to the capital to protect him."
His voice was hoarse and he said urgently. After speaking in one breath, he fell to the ground exhausted.
The men were shocked that the court officials actually started fighting with the emperor.
Wu Yaer stood in the cold winter night and the cold wind soaked into the seams of his leather jacket and made him feel chilly.
"It turns out that this is why the twelve guards from all over the world are summoned to the capital to escort him." He said word by word, "All the chaos, bandits, and military chaos are all to intensify and force the emperor, no, the whole sea to issue this imperial edict. We
Enter Beijing."
Others haven't reacted yet, first because of the news in the capital, and then because of Wu Ya'er's reaction.
"Crow, what about Dou County? Madam, she is in danger, isn't she?" Old Han grabbed him and shouted.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both sides, and he doesn't think Wu Ya'er is someone who doesn't want filial piety for the sake of loyalty.
"My mother's safety does not depend on whether I go to rescue her or not, but on what I am doing and what I have accomplished. Ande Zhong borrowed my name to do things because I am out of reach in Mobei," Wu Ya'er said.
, "He wanted to use Ankang Mountain to lead his troops to the capital, and Xuanwu Dao and Huainan in western Zhejiang, which are closest to the capital, were all under his control. But he didn't expect that our Zhenwu Army was closer now."
The young man's eyes shine in the dark night.
"I, Wu Ya'er, have a terrible reputation. If I go to Dou County, I will either kneel down and fight, or fight to the death and attack the city. No matter which one I do, Ande Zhong will not care about me. It would be easy to kill my mother, but if I go to the capital to fight,
Ankangshan Andezhong wants to touch my mother, so he must think carefully about it."
He wants to go to the capital to fight his way out of the country, to carve out a bloody path, to carve out a vicious reputation, and to fight for his mother's life.
He tore open his outer robe, revealing the military uniform underneath, and drew out his knife.
"According to the emperor's order, the Zhenwu Army came to Beijing to protect you."
