Chapter 772 The Son of Heaven secretly leaves the city
However, it is not an easy task for the emperor to leave the palace. It will take at least three to five days to check the road conditions in the early stage, clear the road with the imperial guards, avoid passers-by, provide safety protection, etc., so Yang Guang is still hesitant.
To be honest, if someone other than Wang Junlin had put forward such an opinion, even his most trusted generals such as Yuwen Shu, Yuwen Chengdu, and Mai Tiezhang would have refused without hesitation. But Wang Junlin was different.
, this son can protect Yang Yong's safety in a dangerous situation like Yang Yong's rebellion, not to mention that now that his own side is obviously in control of the situation, what danger can there be?
Moreover, when Yang Guang was still the king of Jin or when he was the prince, for some purposes, Yang Guang liked to go deep into the people and understand the sufferings of the people. However, when he became the emperor, he never left the palace once.
Yang Guang hesitated for a long time. He looked at Wang Junlin, smiled slowly, and said, "Wang Aiqing, you want me to leave the palace incognito. When will I leave the palace and how long will it take?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the time is tomorrow. At that time, I will leave the city for Chencang County on the pretext of inspecting the establishment of the Lanyiweifu branch offices in various counties in Guanzhong. Your Majesty will leave the city secretly with you, and it will take up to half a day. But this matter must be done
Keep it secret. Inside the palace, I believe that people related to the Long Clan clan are lurking. If your Majesty’s departure from the palace is not kept secret, it is likely to be leaked.” Wang Junlin was overjoyed, thinking that he and Nie Xiaoyu’s analysis could deduce Yang Guang’s character.
As a human being, it seems that there is indeed nothing wrong with him now.
When Yang Guang heard this, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said: "What Wang Aiqing said makes sense. After I ascended the throne and took charge of the palace, in order to show my kindness, I left many old people left behind by the late emperor in the palace. After this incident, I can also
Take the opportunity to clean up the palace."
Having said this, Yang Guang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed, "Okay! I promise you, we will start arranging this matter now."
He immediately said: "He Feng, you sent someone to secretly bring Yuwen Chengdu and Mai Tiezhang into the palace. Don't want anyone to know that they came to see me!"
In the shadow of a corner of the hall where Wang Junlin had peeked so secretly before, an old eunuch walked out like a ghost, bowed to accept orders, and then left quietly.
…
…
On October 21st, Wang Junlin, the commander-in-chief of the Lanyiweifu, was ordered to begin inspecting the branches of the Lanyiweifu in various counties in Guanzhong.
Near noon, Wang Junlin mounted his horse in front. Behind him were guards dressed as Nie Xiaoyu and Yuwen Chengdu. Behind him was a carriage. On both sides and behind the carriage were fifty blue-clad guards.
It drove towards the Golden Gate in the west of the city at a leisurely speed. On the way, a maid stuck her head out of the carriage. Someone recognized it as Mrs. Wang Junlin's personal maid, and there was also a woman laughing in the carriage.
When they came out, passers-by learned that Wang Junlin and his wife had just been newly married. He couldn't bear to be separated, so he visited various offices and even took her with him.
"Master, Wang Junlin and his party have arrived at Jinguang Gate and are about to leave the city. The first place of inspection is Chencang County." Not long after setting off, a spy left the city early and galloped along the official road for two seconds.
After ten miles, mountains and forests gradually appeared on both sides. On the edge of a dark green pine forest, the spy looked around a few times and got into the woods. Not long after, he came to He Ruobi.
He Ruobi was able to reach such a high position, so he was certainly not a reckless person. Besides, Wang Junlin had made great achievements in the past, so he did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and asked: "How many people are there in Wang Junlin's group? Is there any unexpected situation?"
The spy shook his head and said: "Reporting to the master, Wang Junlin and his party are fifty-three people, and there is also a carriage carrying people."
He Ruobi asked the spies again: "Who is in the carriage?"
The spy immediately replied: "It has been found out that the family members of Wang Junlin are in the car."
With He Ruobi was a confidant sent by Yuanshou. He was cautious, but he was still a little worried, so he asked: "What is the basis for judging that the family members of Wang Junlin are in the car?"
The spy said: "Mrs. Wang Junlin's personal maid opened the curtains and was seen by our people, and there was a woman talking and laughing in the car."
"So what if there is a master hidden there? It's just a carriage." He Ruobi nodded and immediately said to another confidant: "Send the order, the target has left the city."
"General He, there are some passing traders, beggars, and hunters at both ends of the road. Do you want to drive them away?" A close aide sent by Yuan Shou hesitated and said.
"No need. Expelling these people at this time will only alert the enemy. If the king comes and sees no pedestrians on the road and becomes alert, it will be bad." He Ruobi rejected the proposal without hesitation.
…
…
Wang Junlin and his entourage left the city through the Golden Light Gate. With Wang Junlin's identity and the power of the Blue Guards, there would be no soldiers to check them when they left the city, let alone riding in a carriage with family members.
At this time, the carriage passed through the long city cave and the light became very dark. There was already a person waiting in the city cave. When the carriage approached, he quickly said a few words to an attendant.
The entourage reported the situation in a low voice to Yang Guang, who was in the carriage and was enjoying Chen Danying's beautiful personal maid pinching his legs. Then he urged his horse forward and rode alongside Wang Junlin.
"Sir, General Mai and his five thousand cavalry have been hiding in the woods five miles to the west of the enemy's ambush point. They can rush there in a few dozen breaths." The entourage whispered to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Where are the masters of the Blue Guard led by Shen Guang?"
"Five hundred masters of the Blue Guard disguised as passing vendors, nearby villagers, and beggars on the roadside are all within range. They can all be reached in ten seconds."
Wang Junlin took a deep breath. He knew that from now on, he would be a bait. If Yang Guang was not accompanying him, he would never be a little nervous. But with Yang Guang hiding in the car, the nature was completely different.
…
…
Thirty miles away from the official road from the capital to Chencang County, there are dense mountains and forests on both sides. This is also the only way to Chencang County.
There are lush woods on both sides of the official road. It is late autumn, the frost is like a knife, and the forests are dyed, rendering the forests colorful, but one section is a dark green pine forest, which stretches for nearly two miles and covers an area of hundreds of acres.
.
At this time, there was murderous intent in this pine forest. More than 400 guards from He Ruobi's family had been waiting here for a long time. These people were all elite soldiers who had fought with He Ruobi in the north and south for many years, and they were highly skilled in martial arts.
He Ruobi went out in person today. On the one hand, he wanted to kill the notorious Wang Junlin, and he was worried about whoever he sent. On the other hand, this was also due to his character. He wanted to kill Wang Junlin himself to repay his eldest son.
The blood feud between Wang Junlin and Wang Junlin repeatedly ruined his life.
