Bring beauty to the world

Not long after, the emperor's imperial decree was issued, and a group of officials were sent to take over the county. As for the offending officials, they returned to Beijing with Lin Yue to accept the crime. Lin Yue was worried that the masterminds behind the scenes would send killers to stop them halfway. I specially asked the general to escort them back with 500 people.

But even with such strict protection, they were still attacked halfway. They walked on the official road that day, thinking that it was very safe, and they were escorted by [-] officers and soldiers, so naturally they were not worried about any danger.But not long after, when they arrived in a stone valley, the sound of shouting and killing spread all over the mountains, and then the rain of arrows roared, and boulders rolled down one after another. Killed, Lin Yue escorted the prison car, and under the cover of several lieutenants, she desperately killed them, but they also lost their way, and they didn't know where they ran in the panic, but ran forward desperately, how could they care about it? It depends on the terrain.

After everyone got rid of the obstruction, they came to a pool of water. Lin Yue ordered the army to rest for a while. She looked back and saw that there were less than 50 soldiers escorting her, and all of them were injured.Although Lin Yue had expected that there might be an enemy intercepting her before she came back, she never expected that the enemy would be so powerful that she dared to attack the court escorting the army, and judging by the means of attacking them, it seemed that she had been prepared for a long time.

"Lieutenant General Li, what do you want from me?" Lin Yue sat on a rock by the pool and asked a lieutenant general approaching with a bow and arrow.

The person known as Lieutenant General Li held a feathered arrow in his hand and said, "Supervisor, please look at this arrow. It is not made by a private person, it is a thing in the army."

Lin Yue dubiously picked up the feathered arrow and checked it again and again. It was true that it still had the firemark of the Ordnance Bureau printed on it. Could it be that those who attacked them were also members of the army?Lieutenant General Li continued, "The requirements for arrows used in the military are very high, the price is extremely expensive, and they are rarely lost. Moreover, arrows are not durable goods. An arrow will be scrapped after being used repeatedly at most three times. And if it encounters iron armor, a feather arrow It was scrapped, so the general suspects that this is an army that ambushed us."

"But who can be so bold as to mobilize an army to ambush us?" Lin Yue thought about her enemies in her mind. Naturally, it was impossible for the Jingzhao Mansion to send out dozens of arrests. It is very possible, the only thing left is the Ministry of War. Although the Ministry of War can only mobilize the army under the emperor's imperial decree, it is also possible to mobilize thousands of eight hundred troops privately. But now it is not to investigate who attacked, but Although escaping here is the most important thing, who knows if those pursuers are still chasing them.

She then asked everyone to rest as soon as possible, and then sent people to explore the way. As long as they reached the big city, they would be safe.Lin Yue looked at the big wooden box beside her. She had to keep these ledgers and the safety of Mr. Liu, he couldn't die.Lin Yue poured a pot of water and handed it to Master Liu who was sitting in the prison car, "Master Liu, these people are here for you. It seems that they don't want you to return to the capital alive. You should think about it."

Master Liu took a few sips of water from the kettle and said, "I know, that's why I got a lot of ledgers and recorded my collusion with them, so that one day I will be arrested and I can use this to blackmail them " Lin Yue snorted coldly, "They will be safe only if you are dead."

After finally waiting for the outpost to check the terrain, it turns out that this is the boundary of Yunzhou, and there are dozens of miles away from Yunzhou City. To be safe, Lin Yue decided not to take the official road, but went directly over the mountain.The weather was hot, and the dry food and water sources were gone. Soldiers kept falling down on the road. When they arrived in Yunzhou City, there were only a dozen soldiers left around Lin Yue.

After finally coming to the gate of the city, they encountered some obstacles. They were covered in blood and dressed as soldiers in the army. Naturally, the soldiers guarding the city would not let them in. Later, Lin Yue took out her identity card, A small lieutenant welcomed them in.Ignoring rest, Lin Yue hurriedly went to find the governor here, hoping that he could help her, but Master Liu objected, "My lord, you must not look for him! I know the governor here." At the end, he lowered his head, as if he had something to hide.

Lin Yue snorted coldly, "You are really afraid of death. So many people died because of your dog's life. If I hadn't escorted you to Beijing, I wouldn't bother to care about your life." Master Liu hurriedly pulled her back Yixiu knelt down and said, "I don't regret my death, but I don't want to die in their hands. If you send me back to Beijing, the emperor will kill me as much as I want."

Lin Yue pulled out her sleeves and cursed, "The imperial court gave you a salary and rights, and then you can see what you have done! Don't worry, you will die, but not now." Although Lin Yue was very concerned about this Master Liu is disgusting, but what he said should still be true. There are too many people involved in this matter. It is impossible to guarantee that some officials here will be involved. Easy to handle.

She first asked these people to find an inconspicuous hotel in the west of the city to stay. Fortunately, these soldiers were guard light cavalry, and their clothes were different from ordinary soldiers, and they were not very conspicuous.After moving in, she first healed the wounds of the wounded soldiers, and then Lin Yue asked a soldier with faster feet to drive a carriage to the capital as soon as possible, and asked them to send someone to pick her up. The further back the road was, the more dangerous it was. It seemed too dangerous to rely on a few of them to return to the capital safely.

As night fell, Lin Yue went out to buy some food. In order not to be discovered as much as possible, she asked other soldiers to go out to buy things in batches, so that people would not notice that they bought too much at one time.While eating, Lieutenant General Li secretly asked, "Master Supervisor, why don't we just go to the governor here and ask them to send troops to escort us back?"

He is a rough man, he seldom thinks about other things, seeing how cautious the supervisor is, so he has other thoughts in his heart.Lin Yue said, "The person who attacked us before may not be the local Wucheng Bingmasi, and didn't you say that the enemy's feather arrows are used in the army. The governor of Yunzhou will not know about such a large-scale operation. What's more, those enemies didn't come after us. With our strength alone, it's really easy for them to kill us, but they didn't do that. Maybe they just waited for us to come to Yunzhou to find the local governor."

Lin Yue's guesses and remarks made Lieutenant General Li nodded, and he echoed, "What the supervisor said is very true, I am so stupid that I didn't see it." Lin Yue smiled and continued, "Actually, there is no It’s too safe, I’ve already exposed my identity before we entered the city, I hope the defenders won’t find out that we live here, let’s stay for one night first, and tomorrow we’ll change to another hotel.”

The next day, after a tense night, Lin Yue woke up the other soldiers and told them to pack up and leave quickly, "Master Supervisor, where are we going?" Master Liu asked.Lin Yue didn't even look at him, but just said, "You don't have to ask so many questions." She was about to go downstairs after cleaning up, when she saw a sound of horseshoes coming from the door, and in a blink of an eye, a large number of cavalrymen surrounded the door of the hotel. surrounded.

I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend, Lin Yue let others hide on it, and she went down to have a look, if there is any accident, let them break out of the encirclement.Seeing this, Mr. Liu trembled with fright. If it weren't for the two soldiers supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground.Lin Yue flapped her folding fan and walked downstairs pretending to be relaxed, and saw that the group of cavalry was the cavalry of the local soldier Masi, and the leader was a long-bearded man wearing a fifth-rank official uniform.

The surrounding crowd had dispersed, but Lin Yue came out slowly and stood there watching them.The long-bearded man got off his horse and said, "I don't know if this is the place where the imperial conquest army Murong Supervisor stayed?" Lin Yue looked at him, then at the cavalry surrounding them, and said, "Who are you?"

The long-bearded man said, "I'm a local Sima, and I rushed over after receiving the news." Lin Yue was startled. Could it be that her whereabouts were really exposed? Judging by the attitudes of these people, they seemed a little afraid of her identity, so Just pretending to be friendly, Lin Yue said modestly and politely, "So it's Master Sima, and I'm the supervisor of the conquest army. I don't know why the news is so fast, so that Master Sima can come here in such a timely manner?"

Master Sima was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You were stopped at the city gate that day, and my subordinates told me that I was looking for you last night." His words were very polite, and Lin Yue couldn't sense him for a while. What exactly does it mean, so she put away her folding fan and asked, "What is Master Sima doing?" She pointed at the cavalry around with her fan.

Lord Sima immediately explained, "Master Supervisor, don't be suspicious. I just brought some soldiers and horses because I was worried about your safety. Why didn't you go to the city directly to find Lord Inspector, but stay here?" Lin Yue laughed, " I just don't want to trouble your lords, if this is the case, then please trouble your lord Sima, how many cavalry can you mobilize?"

Master Sima clasped his fists and said, "It's less than a thousand." "That's enough." Lin Yue asked him to lend himself a thousand soldiers and horses first, and let them escort her back to Beijing. As for Master Sima, whether it is an enemy or a friend, now It's not important anymore.

Master Sima showed a distressed expression, "Master Supervising Army, I didn't intend to make things difficult for you. It's just that the order to transfer the army must be signed by Lord Inspector. I don't dare to issue it without authorization. Just in case..."

Lin Yue chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, pretended to be familiar and said, "Master Sima, you are really confused. I am accepting the emperor's order, and I have to return to my order as scheduled. If you help me once, I will naturally do it for you when I go back." You can say a few words, if the trip is delayed, if the emperor blames it in the future, I can put all the blame on you, saying that you Yunzhou officials deliberately obstructed, when the time comes...." The words have not yet been said After finishing, Lin Yue smiled knowingly.Lord Sima has also been an official for many years, so he naturally knew what Lin Yue meant. He nodded hurriedly and said, "What you said is true, what you said is true." Lin Yue asked again, "Where is your governor? Do you know about this?" "Our governor went to Dicheng to check on people's livelihood yesterday, and we haven't come back yet." Just as Lord Sima finished speaking, Lin Yue's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Hurry up and send troops to escort us back to the imperial city. You are indispensable to be promoted to the rank of an official."
