Chapter 153: Debt Collection (1)
(There is definitely no more explosions. Two updates a day are all done. First, the gunman's time is really limited, and after all, I still have to work. Second, if you want to write a pawn better, you have to think about it before you can start writing. This will naturally be slower. The only thing the gunman can guarantee is to keep up.)
Three days later, Zheng Xiao stood under Yingchou Cliff and looked at the messy death camp camp. His face turned pale and his handsome face looked particularly distorted.
He was played hard by Zhang Xiaomao. Three days were enough to make the suicide camp run away without a trace. Luo Yingshan Mountains is so big, it is really difficult to find them.
"Send people out to find the whereabouts of the Immortal Camp. These thieves are imprisoned, and they don't want to eat and punish them. But I can't blame me for not giving up." Zheng Xiao gritted his teeth. He didn't understand why this was for. The remaining troops of the Immortal Camp were already at the end of their lives and had nowhere to go. Moreover, they now have a deep feud with the Chu State, especially the current chief Zhang Xiaozheng, who has a feud with the Chu army to kill his wife and children. The last time he came, he could clearly feel that the other party had already moved.
Now he is the deputy general, in charge of Jingjingguan, and is also a nail for Bian to break into the border army. However, Zheng Xiao knew very well that Bian's strength in the border army was too weak. This time he arrived at Jingjingguan, he brought a military officer group, but he still clearly felt that the military order was still not smooth in implementation. There is no problem with the officers, but the grassroots soldiers did not work hard for you, and they were dragging on the mud and relied on the law to not blame the public, and they even left themselves helpless for a while.
If he could recruit the Death Camp, it would be very different. He had a truly ruthless army at Jingjing Pass, and when he was by Bian Shuai, he also deeply felt that Bian Shuai valued the Death Camp. He believed that as long as he recruited successfully, Bian Shuai would definitely support him strongly.
But now, he was played hard, which made him feel that his self-esteem was greatly frustrated.
"General, the Luoying Mountains is so big that even if we find out their whereabouts, we cannot organize an effective attack. The frontier headquarters will not agree to fight for these hundreds of people. Moreover, they will not be willing to give you this opportunity to make meritorious service." A general shook his head beside him. "The last general suggested that you should forget it. Hundreds of lonely ghosts, let them go, the little loach cannot make big waves."
Zheng Xiao sneered: "I must let Zhang Xiaozheng understand that I, Zheng Xiao, are not someone who can play at will. The headquarters will not agree, right? Let's find a way to get them to agree."
"What can I do?"
"Money!" Zheng Xiao took out a silver slit from his arms and threw it in his hand. "The border troops are all a group of poor ghosts. If you have money, they will do it. As long as someone pays the money, they will keep it."
"Do we pay for it? This is not a small amount, and Bian Shuai is afraid that he won't agree." The general laughed.
"Of course it's not our expenses. Someone in Anyang City is willing to pay." Zheng Xiao laughed, "Send someone to Anyang City, find scissors, and tell him that 100,000 taels, our Daqin is willing to help him get this big trouble."
The general was stunned, then suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "General Zheng has a good idea. This guy with scissors must be ignorant of food and can't sleep. He is always worried that these guys will come to him. He must be willing to pay for this money. He is now the commander of the county soldiers in Anyang City, so he can still take out this amount of money."
Just as Zheng Xiao was exercising his temper under Yingchou Cliff, a small army was singing songs to the distance. Compared with the panic and confusion and helplessness when he fled into the Luoying Mountains earlier, although the army at this time had only more than 600 people, it was highly morale.
The singing occasionally startled the birds in the forest to fly high, and also made the beasts in the forest panic to escape. The excited soldiers of the Death Camp walked with interest and set up traps in the woods on the road behind them. As for whether these traps would eventually hurt people or beasts, it was not the consideration of these guys.
Because they were such a group of people.
At the same time, another wave of people was also rushing on the road. Unlike the excitement of the death camp, this team that was rushing on the road in the scorching sun was filled with a decadent atmosphere.
Dozens of inner guards, a carriage, and of course, a prison carriage.
This was the team led by Xin Jianli. When he came to Anyang County, he brought nearly 200 elite inner guards, but now, there were less than fifty cavalry who could return to Shangjing with him. All the rest were buried in the battle between Anyang City and the Death Camp. If this battle was won, the loss would be barely reasonable, but the problem was that they lost this battle. Although most of the Death Camp died in the city, for Xin Jianli, this was an absolute failure, because the main figures of the Death Camp had escaped, and it was still too far from the requirement of annihilation of all the imperial officials.
Xin Jianli was depressed. When he came out, the second highman was still the crown prince, but now he has become the Emperor. As an aide in the inner study of His Highman, he knew that he actually did not have a high status. If this matter was done, he would add points and he would stay in the inner study room. However, the inner study room at this time was very different from the inner study room at that time. The inner study room now must have an organization of actual power. If it fails, it is hard to say whether he can see the Emperor when he returns to Beijing.
At the beginning, I thought it was an opportunity to rise and an opportunity to show my abilities in front of the palace, but now it seems that everything about me has been ruined.
The carriage was extremely stuffy, but Xin Jianli was unwilling to open the curtains to get some air. Instead, he held a wine pot in his hand, sighed and then took a sip of wine.
The outcome is conceivable. The Second Highness has never been a tolerant person. If you do it well, you should take the leave. If you do it, you will have to bear the punishment.
Compared to Xin Jianli, there are carriages to sit and wine to drink, Yang Yike in the prison carriage behind him is extremely painful. The sunshine in early August is extremely vicious. For a person whose neck is stuck in shackles and his hands are locked in the cage, this is not true, so it is another kind of torture. Moreover, every bump in the carriage, the shackles will rub his blood-stained neck hard. The pain is no longer what he fears the most. What he fears the most is the unknown future.
He felt regret for the first time.
During the period when Xin Jianli planned to wipe out the death camp in Anyang City, he actually had many opportunities to escape, but at that time, he was happy to climb a thicker thigh, and he was thinking about what to do well in this mission and made great achievements and create glory.
Everything seems perfect, but when things are done, I realize that ideals are full and reality is very skinny. Over the years, the Anyang County soldiers who have been relying on the border troops to make military achievements and have long become the place where the powerful and noble children walk in the gold. They have become the core of the soldiers. They have made contributions and rushed forward, and they are in danger, so they can stay away from them.
The moment Zhang Xiao was rushing out of the city gate with hundreds of death camps, Yang Yi realized that his doomsday had come.
I was arrested, not because I was unable to destroy the Death Camp, but because I was arrested with Yang Yihe's minions as an excuse.
Yang Yi would rather be arrested because of the death camp, because it is obvious that Yang Yihe is going to be finished and the Second Highness wants to clean up Yang Yihe's group. At this time, anyone who has something to do with Yang Yihe will never end well.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Now, he can't even escape. Even though he still has a peak level seven cultivation level, he can break free with these shackles and chains as long as he exerts force, but he dares not. The whole family was arrested and thrown into the prison of Anyang County. If he dares to escape, they will definitely not be able to escape the death.
Or there is still a last glimmer of hope. When he arrives in the capital, he will bite Yang Yihe to death. The Second Highness will definitely need a strong evidence to clean up Yang Yihe. After all, Yang Yihe has been a prime minister for decades and has a reputation all over the world. There is no conclusive evidence, so it is not easy to touch him. He is Yang Yihe's distant relative. This identity may allow the Second Highness to see his value in his use. Now, Yang Yi no longer seeks any glory and wealth, but just seeks to survive.
The prison car jogged and shaking all the way forward, and the road seemed to never end.
Because they carried a prison cart, the horse team was not moving forward quickly. They occupied the center of the official road. Anyone walking on this road only had to see them and avoided them on both sides. Inside the inner guards, in Dachu, have always been a presence that can make people look at.
The inner guards are also used to such scenes. Not to mention such rural places, even in Shangjing, when did the inner guards not walk sideways? In the eyes of these inner guards, except Shangjing, other places are naturally rural places.
But today, they obviously encountered an exception.
From a distance, a man walked over with a wide sunshade hat on his head and a big package behind him. He walked in the center of the official road with a big thorn, without any intention of avoiding him, even if he was facing a horse team.
This bold and reckless guy didn't let him go, so the inner guards naturally wouldn't give in. They are now performing official duties. The two inner guards who were at the forefront slightly accelerated their speed, and at the same time waved their horse whip, preparing to teach this guy a lesson.
The whip was swung, and the wind was harsh. The inner guard behind him was normal. He did not look forward at all, but was still talking to himself. But what happened immediately stunned them.
The whip was still in the air, and it was already cracking inch by inch. The two inner guards who were whipping the whip were picked up from the horse as if they were an invisible hand, and flew into the air with a thump. They fell to the ground with a loud bang, and their bodies twisted a few times, but there was no movement again.
After a moment of suffocation, dozens of inner guards were in a big uproar.
"There are assassins."
"Someone wants to rob the prison car!"
Amid the shouts, dozens of horses were already moving forward, with endless clangs and clangs, and a series of sharp steel knives were raised high.
