ancient criminal minds

While Lu Zheng and Song Zhiyi were leaving with Ye Wenguan, Rong Zhen led the team gradually approaching Yunjing Road, but before entering Yunjing Road, Rong Zhen stopped suddenly.

Nie Zhishu reined in his horse and asked puzzledly, "Master, what happened?"

Rong Zhen shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel more and more uneasy in my heart. I don't know where they are now?"

"I'm afraid there is still more than a day's journey on the path they took." Nie Zhishu said, taking out the water bag and handing it to Rong Zhen, "Master, drink first."

Rong Zhen nodded, and took the water bag casually. At this moment, the mount under Rong Zhen seemed to be startled by something, and suddenly neighed and jumped forward two steps. The arrow grazed his body and hit the water bag, and then without reducing its force, it directly hit Nie Zhishu's shoulder.

Unprepared, Nie Zhishu was rushed by this force and rolled directly off the horse.At the same time, the guards beside them screamed. Several people were shot by arrows and died on the spot.

Rong Zhen's heart trembled, but he immediately looked in the direction of the arrow, and there was a group of cavalry coming towards him.

Rong Zhen didn't hesitate anymore, he pulled Nie Zhishu onto the horse and shouted, "Let's go!"

Everyone fled towards the way they came, and several well-trained guards stood behind Rong Zhen, blocking the incoming sharp arrows with their swords.

This time, because of the urgency of time, and because Rong Zhen didn't want to be too ostentatious, he didn't have many guards around him, so he understood the situation immediately, and they couldn't fight each other head-on. The opponent has a bow and arrow in hand, which is far greater than their advantage.

With their back road blocked, they could only head towards Yunjing Road.Rong Zhen has already figured it out now, I'm afraid Yanjing has long been in chaos, Ye Xiao who stayed there either died or rebelled, so they didn't get any news, since the other party is staying here, it won't just be like this The team chased and killed them, and these people drove them into Yunjing Road, I am afraid that the real murderous intention is in this Yunjing Road.

It's just that although he understands this, Rongzhen has no other choice. He has experienced battles for a long time, so he naturally knows how strong the team is. If his mount hadn't taken two steps forward, the sharp arrow would have It was facing his own heart.They were caught off guard before, and had already lost a few people. The rest of them had no way to break out, and now they could only die and survive.

Yunjing Road was exceptionally quiet, with lush trees covering the nearby hillside, and no one knew how many murderous intentions were hidden there.

Rong Zhen urged the horse to move forward. At this time, Nie Zhishu had already woken up from the jolt, and he covered his wound in pain: "Master, this is... what happened?"

"Don't talk." Rong Zhen lowered his body and said in a low voice, "We are in an ambush, Yanjing is probably unreliable, and you will find a way to break out after a while, and tell them the news. When the dust settles, you go back to Northern Xinjiang, remember."

Nie Zhishu was startled: "What about you, Master?"

Rong Zhen sneered: "Of course I want to meet the mastermind behind the scenes!" He seldom experienced failure in his life, but he was played around by this person again and again. In the old case, he and this person are already in an endless situation.With that arrow just now, Rong Zhen knew very well that the other party wanted to kill him, and he thought the same way. Now that he missed a move, Rong Zhen had to accept it, but even so, he would not just let him go.

Why didn't Nie Zhishu understand Rong Zhen's thoughts, he immediately struggled: "This subordinate will never leave the master and run away alone. Back then I swore to Changshengtian that I would entrust my life to the master in this life, how can I do that?" It’s up to the master to face the danger, but as a subordinate, he’s just barely surviving!”

Rong Zhen said with a cold face: "Since you still call me master, listen to me!"

Nie Zhishu clenched his fist tightly.

Rong Zhen remembered something, and his expression softened a bit: "Remember to tell Lu Zheng, let him live well."

Nie Zhishu's tears washed away two marks of dust on his face, he choked up and said, "Subordinate...obey."

At this moment, Rong Zhen suddenly heard the sound of weapons being handed over from ahead, he frowned, but urged the horse more and more, and headed towards the place where the sound came from.

An hour ago, Tao Xian spat out the grass stalk in his mouth, and said harshly: "You have been watching for a long time, what did you see?!"

The man was wearing plain clothes, but he could still tell that this was Yin Tangmin of Jingzhao Mansion. Tang Min held a strange-looking tube in his hand and looked towards the mountains and forests on both sides of Yunjing Road. If Lu Zheng was here , must be able to recognize this extremely primitive telescope.

After a long time, even Tao Xian became a little impatient, so Tang Min put down the binoculars and said calmly: "Except for a group of soldiers and horses at the bend, there are groups of troops hiding in the forests on both sides. It seems that King Wei He really attaches great importance to the King of Chu."

Tao Xian sneered: "I think you have something to do. It's a waste of my time to see such a thing after looking at it for a long time."

"Oh? Then what were you going to do?"

Tao Xian frowned: "Why do you care so much? One word, fuck it!"

"That's four words." Tang Min's complexion remained unchanged, and he continued before Tao Xian interrupted, "No wonder Xuan Yi didn't let you lead the army, and would rather let you take me, who can't do martial arts, with me. If you do this, we won’t be able to annihilate our entire army, so why are we talking about protecting the King of Chu? Don’t you think so, Tao Laosan?”

Tao Xian snorted unconvinced.

He and Tang Min are both members of Xuanjiawei. Everyone has always thought that Xuanjiawei is just responsible for protecting the emperor. I am afraid that no one knows that the real Xuanjiawei is never the one that is put on the surface. order people.The so-called great hermits are hidden in the city, and the real Xuanjiawei are those little officials in Yanjing who have never been noticed.

Tang Min is the second member of Xuanjiawei and one of the deputy commanders of Xuanjiawei. He does not know martial arts, but this does not hinder his status in Xuanjiawei, which is why he has no background. But because of the smooth sailing on the official road.

Tang Min and Tao Xian are divided into civil servants and military officials. Their official positions are not big or small, and they are not eye-catching at all. They also hold a part of the list of Xuanjiawei.In addition to the two of them, Xuan Yi, who is the leader, has a part of the list, and only the list of the three is combined, which is the entire Xuanjiawei.And the entire list is only in the hands of the emperor. At the last moment of his life, Emperor Yongning, in addition to letting Xuanyi take away the Chuanzhaoshu and Yuxi, gave him the complete list of Xuanjiawei, and this is The last amulet left by Emperor Yongning to Rong Zhen.

Although Tao Xian and Tang Min had been arguing endlessly, it was mostly because of the old problems of civil and military disputes for so many years. He also knew that he acted recklessly, and it was okay to be a pioneer. The real brain-consuming things should be left to those with brains Bar.

Tang Min didn't intend to argue with him on these unnutritious topics. He organized his words and said, "Our purpose is not to annihilate these troops, but to save the King of Chu from leaving." He pointed to the Shan Po, said, "I just took a look at the ambushes on the hillsides on both sides, and there are obviously fewer people on the west side."

"What does it mean?"

"The enemy wants to use the entire Yunjing Road as a pocket. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the manpower distributed in different places to be so different, so there is only one possibility." Tang Min stretched out a finger and pointed at Yunjing. The entrance of the road, "For some unknown reason, the enemy did not intend to sit on the sidelines, but went around to the back of Yunjing Road, trying to ensure that His Highness King Chu was really driven into this pocket."

"Then what are you talking about, let's hurry up and save people!"

Tang Min rolled his eyes: "Can you listen to me!"

"Let's talk about it, you people who stick to words just talk too much."

Tang Min pretended not to hear his personal attack, and then said: "This method has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they can ensure that the King of Chu has really entered the ambush circle, but the disadvantage is that there are too few people on the west side, and there are too many people on the west side. The side hills are relatively gentle, giving us a chance to break through."

Tao Xian's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together: "Then what are you waiting for, I will lead someone to slaughter those bastards on the west side!"

Tang Min took a deep breath: "Have you not understood yet? I mean—wait!"

"Wait?"

"Exactly, according to King Chu's itinerary, I'm afraid we will arrive at Yunjing Road soon. This is what I told you earlier. We can't confirm where His Royal Highness King Chu is at this moment. We are afraid that if we rush to I rushed over, but didn't meet them, and it's the same reason at this moment." Tang Min paused, "We're going to kill them now, I'm afraid we might scare the snake, so it's better to wait here, so as not to change. "

"You mean, after the King of Chu enters Yunjing Road, we will go out to meet him?"

Tang Min nodded: "The mountains and forests on the west side are dense. If you escape in, the chances of hiding will be much higher. What's more, I have already sent a distress letter when I realized that things have changed. If it goes well, we just need to hide." In the next few days, several generals will come to the rescue with soldiers and horses, and by then, King Wei will be the turtle in the urn."

Tao Xian grinned: "I understand this sentence, there is something in your words, saying that King Wei is a bastard!"

"..." Tang Min silently picked up the binoculars again, if Tao Xian hadn't been really capable, he would have kicked him down the mountain.

Tao Xian curled his lips and was about to say a few more words when Tang Min suddenly put down the binoculars and stood up abruptly.

Tao Xian was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Tang Min's face was solemn, and he spoke quickly: "The King of Chu has been attacked by someone, hurry up and save him!"
