In front of the gate of Xi'an, a large group of people roared out, flags fluttering, and they were majestic. Passers-by in the distance all stopped to watch the excitement, especially when they saw the first two women with good eyesight, they started talking endlessly. So, from then on,
On the road from Xi'anmen Street to Fuchengmen Street, people who came after hearing the news gathered on both sides of the road to watch, and Zhu Ying was quickly recognized.
As for Yuquan, who rarely left the palace, no one recognized her. Ah Liu, who was dressed differently from the others, was discovered immediately. However, he ignored all the various
With such a look, he just rode his horse forward with concentration. When he finally left Fuchengmen, he hesitated to speak, but Zhu Ying suddenly turned back and smiled sweetly at him.
"Just send it here! Ah Liu, go back quickly and tell Ah Shou that Aunt Yuquan is with me and there are so many elite soldiers and generals, so he doesn't have to worry! Besides, I'm not weak, I can fight better than him.
!”
Seeing Zhu Ying deliberately touching the sword beside her, Ah Liu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Then take care of yourself, young lady."
"Okay, come on, come on, Ah Shou may be waiting for you!" Zhu Ying began to chase people away without politeness, until Ah Liu said goodbye again, turned her horse away, and even looked back after galloping for more than ten steps.
After taking a look, she waved her hand gently. When the person disappeared from sight, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's all because of that troublemaker, the eldest prince... Let's go, let's go and come back early!"
After class in Jiuzhangtang ended that day, Zhang Shou learned from Ah Liu about the "adventure" he had at Zhao Guogong's mansion when he went to visit Zhu Tingfang. Then when he went to pick up Zhu Ying, he ran into the eldest lady who was leading the army to go to Huairou in person.
When the eldest prince was received at the Imperial Mansion, even though he expected that Zhu Tingfang's assassination might lead to a series of changes, he couldn't help but feel extremely ridiculous.
You know, now it is no more than ten years before he and Zhu Ying were "born" in Yongchen. The emperor's throne is unshakable. Even the entry of the third prince, who is neither heir nor eldest son, into the East Palace, did not cause many waves - after all,
The eldest prince provoked a civil uprising in Cangzhou, the second prince's ridiculous reputation, and the queen's dethronement, most officials realized that opposing the abandonment of the elder and the establishment of the younger was a mantis trying to do the trick.
That being the case, if someone continues to stir up any rebellion, wouldn’t that mean they’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey?
However, when it comes to rebellion and rebellion, the person involved is often kicked in the head by a donkey. For example, he still remembers that during the prosperous Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, who was still a wise emperor at that time, was touring the eastern capital, and Chang'an, the capital city in his backyard, unexpectedly
Someone rebelled - this was not just a rebellion of three or two common people. The rebels even stormed into the outer imperial city at one point. Just thinking about it is jaw-dropping.
Having said that, considering that Zhu Ying with a full two hundred elite cavalry should not encounter any problems, Zhang Shou temporarily suppressed his worries. As for the emperor, if he was reduced to worrying about it, then the majestic emperor
It was such a failure.
However, when something like this happened, before he left the public school, he still called the Fourth Prince and Little Peanut to him. First, he gave the naughty kid a good lesson, and then he gave Little Peanut a thousand instructions. In a word,
Don't cause trouble, otherwise the naughty child will not be able to leave the womb in the future, and the little peanut will not be able to sing any more dramas.
Whether it is the fourth prince who is naturally restless and unwilling to stay bored in the palace, or the little peanut who regards singing as one of the greatest meanings of life, facing Zhang Shou's warning, they cannot take it lightly. So, no one can take it lightly.
The fourth prince, who lost the novelty of living outside and missed his third brother more and more, or the little peanut, who was helpless about the extra roommate, could only nod his head desperately.
After frightening the two little guys, Zhang Shou originally planned to ask Ah Liu to get on the bus with him on the way back from the public school, but the young man stubbornly shook his head. He really couldn't resist them, so he had to give up and get on the bus.
I squinted for a while out of habit.
The idea in Ah Liu's mind is very simple. If a forbidden object like a crossbow appears in the capital, then if he is sitting in a car, his sense of danger will be very different. If an arrow is shot, he will not be able to react in time.
, isn’t that bad?
The young man tensed his nerves all the way until the carriage arrived outside Zhangyuan Gate without incident, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the people who had been transferred here to guard the place were still standing under the wall, but he did not go to wait by the carriage.
Zhang Shou got out of the car and walked straight towards one of them.
There are almost no people in the Ruiqi camp who don't recognize Ah Liu, especially the team member with an extra red badge on his shirt. Although military regulations are strict and no distraction is allowed when standing guard, Ah Liu has already arrived
She was in front of him. She clearly wanted to say something to him, but he still quickly bowed his hands and saluted.
"You don't have to stay here anymore." After saying this, Ah Liu saw the other person's expression change, and he, who had never been able to observe his words, said lightly, "Just standing here as a deterrent is useless. You should take action.
.”
The team's hearts that had just raised their throats fell back to where they were, and they immediately asked: "Young Master Xiao Liu, do you mean to let us patrol under the wall of Zhangyuan?"
"Yeah." Ah Liu nodded, and then added, "It's the same as the red-paved imperial army patrolling with bells under the inner and outer imperial city."
With such a clear reminder, the team immediately understood. In this kind of weather, standing sentry was naturally more difficult than patrolling. Although this was a shift sentry, because there were few people, the emperor sent many important ministers to
Guards, so we really can't send enough people to take turns, and everyone has to take turns to stand for six hours a day.
Moreover, according to his previous experiences, most dignitaries prefer to stand sentry, because the guards in the sharp cavalry camp are all selected from a hundred, and standing tall and straight is the minimum. Such a row of people standing in front of their house is very difficult.
Or under the wall, it can obviously highlight the status of one's family in the emperor's mind.
As for patrolling, others can only occasionally see them walking around the mansion, but it does not show their numbers and training, nor can the mansion they are guarding receive countless envious, jealous and hateful looks.
Therefore, he immediately agreed: "Then according to your wishes, Mr. Xiao Liu, I will instruct everyone to start patrolling in a moment. However, this garden occupies a huge area. It may take only ten people to complete a circle.
It will be a long time. There will probably be no one around here in front of the door for a while. And, even so, we may not be able to guarantee everything."
"You can't guarantee that nothing will happen even if you stand here."
If someone else had said this, they would have offended the people in Ruiqiying a long time ago, but after all, Ah Liu has been a coach in Ruiqiying for a long time, and he can speak well in front of the emperor.
As soon as this was said, although the team was embarrassed, they did not dare to protest.
And Ah Liu seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his words, so he explained calmly: "Because you don't have enough people."
The team could only smile bitterly. For a mansion as big as Zhang Yuan, if they really wanted to stand guard, at least fifty people would be needed. They were guarding the area at the door like this. If someone wanted to climb over the other walls, they would not be able to climb over them at all.
You can't notice it. So, Ah Liu's words are already polite enough. If you are really rude, people will definitely say... they are just pretending!
When Ah Liu saw that the team was silent, he said in a deep voice: "I won't gossip anymore. You remember three things. One, pass the order to patrol; two, you can rest in the gatehouse for two quarters of an hour every hour; three.
, notify the person who changes the shift to do so."
When he got what he needed to say, he turned around and left. But after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and said without looking back: "I will personally go to the two commanders of the Ruiqi Battalion to talk about this matter.
"
With such a promise, the team's last worries were gone. Thinking that Zhang Yuan had sent people to deliver tea, food and snacks before, they did not dare to agree due to military regulations. Now the sentry duty has been changed to patrolling, and they can still rest in the gatehouse.
, that is indeed much better than before.
Therefore, after watching Ah Liu leave, he quickly conveyed the matter to all his subordinates, and everyone was overjoyed for a moment. This kind of one-day stand is not bad, but if the weather is colder, even if they are elites, they will not be able to bear it!
And Ah Liu did what he said. He actually dressed up and ran to the main camp of Ruiqi Camp before it got dark. The commanders of the left and right camps were busy dispatching people to station in Xiyuan, so what?
I was a little unhappy when it was easy to find time for an interview.
But when Ah Liu pointed out the cold weather and the fact that only ten people were standing guard to guard against malicious people, the faces of the two coaches still didn't look so good.
Although he didn't think much about the world, Ah Liu certainly knew that the reason why people were reluctantly polite to him was that he was sent to the Ruiqi Camp by the emperor to learn martial arts, so he didn't bother to stay here longer.
Thinking about his family, he bowed his hands and said goodbye, and before leaving, he solemnly said: "Master Zhu will be assassinated, but if other families obviously have guards from the Rui Cavalry Camp but something goes wrong, it will be too late by then."
It was rare for Ah Liu to say so many words in front of unrelated outsiders, but the weight of these words was really extraordinary. As soon as he left, the two commanders who used to fight openly and secretly looked at each other, and immediately decided to remove the people standing in front of each mansion.
The post was changed to patrol. In order to save trouble, it was rotated in two shifts a day. It was also changed to three shifts a day in order to avoid the rotation time being too long and causing fatigue and slackness.
After all, the life and death of the second prince were unknown before, which did not necessarily mean that someone was planning to do harm to these important officials in the court, but the assassination of Zhu Tingfang was different, which showed that someone really had evil intentions!
But after re-allocating the personnel, the two of them suddenly thought of a problem - if there were any fish that slipped through the net in the capital, then Zhang Shou should be the biggest target. But at this time, Ah Liu was still able to leave
When Zhang Yuan comes here, are people so confident about Zhang Yuan's defense?
Ah Liu, who was considered to be very confident, came out of the barracks block where Rui Qi Camp was located and mounted his horse, but he was a little absent-minded. He was worried about whether something would happen at home and whether An Lu, who he had asked when he went out,
All defenses have been arranged. Fortunately, although his riding skills are not as good as Zhu Tingfang, who has often dealt with horses since he was a child, he is still quite good.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, so he unknowingly allowed his running horse to gradually increase its speed. He didn't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt something, and then he caught a glimpse of a figure not far away.
Came out.
Soon after he said it, he suddenly clamped the horse's belly without even thinking, and then shouted loudly: "Jump!"
Although this mount is not one he has trained for many years, it is a royal horse from the palace. It has been well-trained. After becoming his mount, he trained it again and again, and it has reached the point where he can call it and wave it with his voice.
So when he shouted, the horse that was galloping suddenly accelerated, its hooves leaped into the air, and it jumped high.
This leap was extremely high, and then it jumped several feet away. The figure that jumped out diagonally before actually escaped the disaster of the horse. However, this person was not lucky to escape.
, instead he cursed angrily, then put his hands on the ground and wanted to slip back into the shadow of the building in the night, but he didn't want to hear a sharp sound suddenly.
Almost at the moment of the sharp sound, the black shadow rolled over subconsciously. However, just as the man rolled out, an arrow directly penetrated his thigh. He was so horrified that he even screamed in pain.
Without hesitation, Huan Xin waved his hand suddenly, but a cold light cut off the arrow shaft that was exposed outside his thigh and hindered his escape. But before he could make the next move, there were two more strings.
This time, two arrows pierced the man's left shoulder and right wrist almost in no particular order. As the dagger in his hand fell to the ground, a black shadow was seen rushing down from the sky, but it was Ah Liu who left and came back.
At that time, his left bow had not been put away, but his right hand picked up the dagger dropped by his opponent. The short dagger was like a wolf's kiss, and in an instant, the ferocious fangs appeared on the side of the opponent's neck.
Feeling the cold blade pressing against his skin, the visitor who had previously failed to intercept Ashou shouted instinctively: "Don't kill me, I surrender!"
Ah Liu seemed not to have expected that the other party could say the word surrender so innocently. After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the dagger in his right hand slightly, leaving a bright blood mark on the person's neck. And the person seemed to feel
When he felt the sting, he raised his voice again: "Master Liu, I was hired by someone, I'm just a knife in someone else's hand!"
"You just asked me to try and see if I could intercept you. I just wanted to hurt the horse, and I didn't mean to hurt anyone!"
Ah Liu suddenly laughed twice without warmth. No intention of hurting anyone? Even if I lose my mind, can you be hurt? He lowered his eyelids slightly, and then suddenly whistled.
As the mount that he had ignored just now trotted back in front of him, he suddenly retracted the dagger in his right hand, but just as the opponent was relieved, the left hand he had just freed up with the bow on his back struck again, hitting hard on the
The side of the opponent's neck. Seeing that the person fell down immediately with a muffled groan, he stood up, immediately hooked his toes on the side of the person's waist, and suddenly turned around and exerted force.
He saw that the human body, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, suddenly rose into the air. As he pushed and released it with his hands, the human body was laid across the saddle like a sack. Following closely, Ah Liu himself
He also jumped on the horse's back. He was suddenly burdened with a double weight, and the mount immediately let out a low neigh, but was immediately calmed down by Ah Liu.
"Okay, let's go home and work hard first, then I'll feed you double the beans later!"
