Chapter 4 The roles of the good and the bad are intertwined
Songfan Guards was a guard station on the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty. It was under the dual control of the Sichuan Chengxuan Envoy Department and the Sichuan Capital Command Envoy Department. It was also supervised by the Eunuch Office of the Xuanwei Department in Western Sichuan. The Songfan Guards faced the two great powers of Xia and Tubo.
The enemy country, the Southeast Military Supervisory Department of Xia State and the Tubo Duogan Department from the north to the south, formed a pincer attack on the Songfan Guards. Therefore, this place is directly controlled by the Military Guard and is a key front-line war zone of the Ming Dynasty.
Ashan Guard is a guard station under the jurisdiction of Songfan Guard. The group stayed at Ashan Guard for one day, joined a group of military guards sent by Ashan Guard, and then continued westward. There were twenty soldiers sent by Ashan Guard.
Four people, led by two sentry commanders, their main duty was to escort the adopted son of the guard eunuch Zhao De to the Chuanling Copper Mine to supervise the work. This gentleman heard that the troops from Shiquan County had arrived at the Ashan Guards, so he asked them to follow him
Peers.
This accident was definitely good news for Zhao Ran. At least the two escorts did not dare to deal with him openly. After setting off, the fat and thin escorts really restrained themselves a lot.
But Zhao Ran never dared to take it lightly. He was still cautious and alert at all times.
Zhao Ran analyzed carefully and believed that if Jie Chai wanted to murder him, the most likely way would be to wait until he was far away from the team to do it, such as when he was in a big or small position. In this way, he could use the pretext of escaping.
He took the opportunity to kill him. Therefore, Zhao Ran never left the group. Even when he went out, he would take three or five people with him. If no one was with him, he would simply hold back.
In addition, Zhao Ran also deliberately looked for opportunities to get close to the adopted son of the guarding eunuch. As a result, he was scolded several times and received several whips from his slaves. However, Zhao Ran was very happy, at least the big shot had some respect for him.
A little impression, and the guard sergeant also noticed that there was a person like him in the team. This is enough!
Because of the high concentration of energy along the way, Zhao Ran was very tired, but the physical and mental exhaustion was exchanged for the safety of his life. After passing the Shimen Guard, the two guards could not find a chance to attack him. As long as they climbed over Qingping Mountain again,
We can reach our destination, Chuanling Copper Mine, and Zhao Ran will be able to save his life temporarily.
Knowing that he would arrive at Chuanling soon, Zhao Ran felt very comfortable. He followed the group all the way and was interested in watching the mountain scenery.
If Zhao Ran were to travel through his past life, Qingping Mountain would be considered an excellent scenery. Green hills, green trees, and numerous streams and waterfalls. The shrubs along the path are lush and green, and large tracts of wild flowers cover the hillsides.
The natural scenery in this world is so good!
Zhao Ran took a deep breath of the fresh air and felt that the negative oxygen ions seemed to be very high, so he sighed that there was also the beauty of traveling through a secret tunnel.
Just as they were sighing, the team stopped. When they looked up, they saw the two leading guard commanders at the front making gestures, and the guards under their command drew out their swords and guns, and several archers took off their big bows.
.
Zhao Ran suddenly became excited - Damn it, maybe he encountered a bandit? But this bandit was too courageous, he dared to block the road and rob the officers and soldiers?
Regardless of what happened, Zhao Ran's first reaction was to find a way out. He slowly tiptoed to the end of the team, and then looked around for a way to escape.
A burst of noisy shouting suddenly erupted from the front of the team. Zhao Ran heard two sentry commanders turn around and shout: "They are Xia people, brothers, kill them!" The Ming army soldiers moved forward bravely amidst the shouts of the sentry commanders, and from time to time there were several
Feathered arrows came whizzing from the opposite side, and one happened to be nailed to the tree trunk next to Zhao Ran, startling Zhao Ran.
The encounter with the enemy was very sudden. Zhao Ran could vaguely see that the enemy on the opposite side was wearing white clothes and black armor, which was obviously different from the red jackets of the Ming army. The two sides collided with each other, and several people fell down in an instant.
The performance of Fat and Thin Jie Chai was beyond Zhao Ran's expectation. According to the descriptions of the villains who murdered the protagonist in the film and television works before time travel, the two Jie Chai should have been scared to death and run away at this moment, but at this moment they
But they showed courage that was at least greater than that of the protagonist. Together with several Ming soldiers, they distributed the prepared weapons to the soldiers, and then raised their arms and shouted to organize the soldiers to join the battle.
A horizontal knife was stuffed into Zhao Ran's arms by Fat Jie Chai. Fat Jie Chai's bulging head almost hit Zhao Ran's nose. He shouted to Zhao Ran with a ferocious expression: "Follow me and charge forward!" Spray!
The spittle came out and splashed all over Zhao Ran's face.
The word "hee" shouted by Fat Jie Chai made Zhao Ran feel dazed for a while. Then, Zhao Ran looked at Fat Jie Chai and shouted "For the Dao Sect, for the Ming Dynasty" and rushed forward. As for the one who kept a cold face,
The thin man who spoke was holding a Xia Bing's neck with both hands, and was biting his ear with his mouth open.
The bloody spirit of the Ming army and the soldiers suppressed Zhao Ran. At that moment, he couldn't help but have the idea of going forward to fight. But soon, the time traveler's innate ability to judge the situation made him suppress this idea.
——More Xia soldiers came out from the opposite side.
Zhao Ran turned around and ran backwards, gradually leaving the trails in the mountain and climbing up the pathless hillside. In order to speed up, he simply threw away the horizontal knife - it was too heavy to get in the way.
To run fast, you have to travel light!
After crawling through a bush, Zhao Ran climbed up a big tree on all fours. The tree had lush crowns and leaves, hiding his body in it.
Hiding in the tree, Zhao Ran held his breath and listened. He heard the shouts of killing gradually subsided, and he knew that the battle was probably over. Considering that the Xia soldiers were almost twice as strong as his own, I was afraid that the Ming army and the soldiers would be defeated.
The probability will be over 90%.
After waiting for a while and seeing nothing unusual around him, Zhao Ran bravely sneaked down the tree trunk and wanted to go back and take a look. He had already considered it on the tree just now. If he was lucky, Xia Bing was in a hurry when cleaning the battlefield, and he might not be able to clean it up.
, if he can pick up some money, or even road documents, etc., he will have the capital to search for the Taoism. Although it is more risky to go back, he still understands that life is not perfect, and there is no risk and no gain.
He carefully walked down the hillside and finally came to the mountain path. Seeing no one around, Zhao Ran moved step by step back to the place where he had just fought with Xia Bing. He saw dead bodies everywhere on the mountain path and up and down the slopes.
There were both Ming and Xia soldiers, and there were also soldiers who had traveled with them along the way.
Zhao Ran checked the body, but found nothing. It seemed that Xia Bing was good at cleaning up the battlefield. He turned around and found the body of the guarding eunuch Yizi. But to Zhao Ran's disappointment, the man was wearing
The brocade robe had been stripped off, leaving only the obscene pants wrapped around his waist. Zhao Ran cursed and reluctantly pulled out the obscene pants, but when he touched them, he felt something.
Recalling the methods that drug dealers often used to hide drugs in that generation, he became energetic and reached out to unbutton the rope of his obscene pants. When he tugged at it, he found something strange hidden in the rope, as if there was a pole wrapped inside.
Thin hard objects, like the metal wires of later generations, should intuitively be a good thing.
Zhao Ran didn't have time to take out the contents of the rope and take a closer look, so he tied the rope around the waist of his trousers to replace the tattered waist rope, and then took off the obscene pants on the corpse again.
Before he could take off his underwear, Zhao Ran suddenly heard a thunderous sound, as if he was being hit in the ears. He was so frightened that he peed his pants and crawled behind a bunch of bushes. His heart was pounding, and he secretly thought, "Hey!"
Dong, is there still a gun in this era? Is this a grenade or a cannon?
Just as he was in shock and doubt, he saw a Taoist priest coming from the other end of the mountain path. He looked like he was in his thirties or forties, wearing a green robe and long sleeves fluttering. He was here in a blink of an eye. The Taoist priest briefly glanced at the corpses on the ground around him.
, and then his body swayed, and passed by Zhao Ran's eyes in the blink of an eye. It came and left just as fast! When Zhao Ran looked out again, he could only see the back of the Taoist priest.
Immortal? Immortal way?
Zhao Ran was dumbfounded, and blood instantly surged into his mind. He crawled out on all fours, ran towards the direction the Taoist priest was leaving, and started chasing him. After two steps, he realized that he couldn't catch up anyway, so he shouted loudly.
: "Immortal, stay here! Immortal, wait for me! Immortal!...Help...people are going to die!..."
As he was shouting with all his strength, his eyes flashed, and a slender horse face suddenly appeared in front of him. It wasn't the Taoist priest just now, but who was it?
