Chitose words

Peng Ying has been dispatched from Langya Pass to Xunyang County by Yuan Qinghong, the chief general of Langya Pass. This time he will accompany Peng Xiao to Beijing and escort the convict wife of the assassinated lieutenant general.

On this day, they had entered the territory of Yongzhou. Peng Ying drove his horse to Peng Xiao, who was at the front of the team, and said with an unlucky look:

"That old woman is really tough-talking. She won't even ask anyone to ask her. She is a repeat offender and she can't be executed privately. It's really nerve-wracking."

Peng Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Why be so anxious? She will have her own time to speak when the three divisions of Zhaoge City meet up for the trial."

Peng Ying murmured in his heart, and said: "Brother Xiao, the hatred and viciousness in her eyes are really chilling! I don't know where a noble girl from Xijiang could come from with such great murderous intent. She is really from Xijiang. She is the eldest daughter of King Yong, the former rebel king of Xinjiang, why do I look like a female bandit who was born in some bandit den and is carrying hundreds of lives on her back?"

Peng Xiao nodded slightly.

"Although she hasn't admitted it personally, Miss Xie and the others' guesses should be pretty close."

"Thank you girl?"

Peng Ying looked at him with a wink, and didn't smile like a kind person.

"When did you meet any new girls? Could it be those few benefactors who saved you at Yinghun Ridge? Brother Xiao, you are the eldest princess's wife. You must not repay the kindness of the princess by repaying your life with your life. ah."

Peng Xiao is a very upright gentleman, and he usually doesn't like to make jokes about men and women, especially when the honor of the girl's family is involved, he will not take it lightly.

So he frowned tightly and scolded her coldly: "Peng Ying, you are so arrogant. This statement is not only disrespectful to Miss Xie, who is kind to me, but also disrespectful to Her Royal Highness Princess An Ning. Remember not to say this kind of nonsense again in the future. .”

Peng Ying suddenly remembered that this brother of his was a disciple of General Xie Huanchen, the Confucian general of the Xunyang Xie clan who was the head of the three major clans in the Southern Dynasty.

His brother was the most polite gentleman and was not an ordinary roughneck in the army.

So Peng Ying sighed, resigned and said, "Isn't it okay that I was wrong?"

He thought for a while and then asked: "So Brother Xiao, is this Miss Xie's inference reliable? If it is true as she said, it involves the Southern Dynasties and the temples in Xijiang. If the identity of this convict woman is really Xijiang I’m afraid that the royal family’s survivors cannot be left to our own devices by our Tianchen Dynasty, and we still need to write a letter to contact the royal family of the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang, which will be troublesome.”

Peng Xiao also frowned, "Speaking of which, we should still be more vigilant along the way. Among the group of people who tried to intercept me in Yinghun Ridge, there were several masters above the Mahayana realm. After all, we still have to be careful. Beware of them repeating their old tricks and robbing prisoners along the way.”

Peng Ying, riding on horseback, smiled sarcastically when he heard the words.

"Brother Xiao, don't worry. In Yinghun Ridge, they just relied on your unpreparedness to ride alone. In addition, there are few people outside the Great Wall, so these lawless gangsters are so rampant!

Now we are in Tianchen territory of our Southern Dynasty, and there are so many soldiers accompanying us. Even if we give them 800 courage, they may not dare to make mistakes! Otherwise, I will meet them just in time, and I must let them live or die! "

"Virtue."

Peng Xiao shook his head and laughed: "I don't dare to be too confident. Where did you get your blind confidence?"

Peng Ying laughed, raised his chin and said proudly:

"As soon as I step into the territory of our Southern Dynasty, my people in the Southern Dynasty will no longer be afraid of the invasion of the enemy's thugs. This is naturally the confidence His Highness Chitose has given me!"

Peng Xiao also laughed when he heard this. He shook his head and said:

"You, but His Highness Chitose is retreating in the high tower and temple of Shentai Palace. The water from far away cannot quench your near thirst.

It's time to set up defenses, and it's time to be careful, but don't stumble into the road, otherwise we will greatly lose the face of our Langya Pass soldiers in front of Zhaoge City. "

Peng Ying smiled and said: "I know, Brother Xiao."

After he finished speaking, he rode his horse to the center of the team to discuss precautions with the general responsible for escorting the prison car. Although Peng Ying selfishly did not believe that someone would dare to be so bold and would go deep into the hinterland of their Southern Dynasty to rob prisoners. But his clan brother was right, this kind of thing should be nipped in the bud.

If he really lost his prisoner by "pulling his hips" on the way, I'm afraid that his clan brother, the "quasi-consort", would be particularly shameless in front of the emperor's uncle when he entered Zhaoge City.

In this way, the group entering Beijing was quite cautious and rarely slept in the wild for safety reasons. Most of them stayed in government inns along the way, so it was considered a peaceful journey.

Unexpectedly, on the day when they had just crossed the Pingzhou boundary and were about to enter the Lanling boundary, a shocking change occurred again!

Because the official mountain road in Lanling was recently blocked by a landslide, they had to turn back and take the path down the mountain.

In fact, when Peng Xiao saw the path between the mountain streams, his heart skipped a beat.

——This landform is so familiar!

It can almost be said that it is exactly the same as the scene in the mountain col of Yinghun Ridge that day!

This strange feeling of similarity made him hesitate for a moment.

But at this time, the wedding date between him and Princess An Ning was imminent. In order to escort the prison car, their journey was much slower than originally expected by galloping on horseback.

If you don't take this mountain path at this time, but choose to wait until the official road on the mountain is cleared and moved, you may miss your wedding date!

The emperor bestows marriage, so how can the wedding date be a piece of cake?

Once it really delays the auspicious wedding date selected by the Qintian Supervisor and the Shentai Palace Priest for Princess An Ning, it will be tantamount to despising the grace of the Holy Lord and despising the princess of the dynasty!

Peng Xiao gritted his teeth and decided to take the gamble.

He didn't believe it. At this time, he was near Lanling County. At such a close distance from Zhaoge City, could it be that those rebels after King Yong of Western Xinjiang dared to come and rob the prisoners without fear of life and death?

But in the end it turns out that sometimes people's sixth sense is really accurate, especially the sixth sense of a battle-hardened general!

When the first sharp arrow was shot from the cliff, a sentence flashed in Peng Xiao's mind -

Sure enough, you can't take chances as a human being.

This is really what to be afraid of!

Immediately after the first sharp arrow was shot, the second, third, fourth, and countless sharp arrows also followed, shooting down into the mountain path and valley one after another!

Peng Xiao's eyes were sharp and he shouted: "Left guard! Raise your shield to protect the prison car! Everyone else is gathering towards the direction of the prison car!"

"Yes! General!"

Peng Ying cut off several arrow clusters that were coming with one sword and shouted:

"——Pay attention to defense! Be careful of Liuya!"

Countless soldiers who were walking in front were caught off guard and were hit by arrows one after another!

Although the archers were not considered masters, the wounds from the arrows were not fatal, but they were bloody and penetrated three-thirds of the flesh!

Fortunately, under Peng Xiao's timely command, everyone gathered in front of the prison car. The left back held a metal shield in formation, and they were temporarily in a stalemate with the criminals on the cliff.

Peng Xiao coldly had a handsome face, and this time he understood everything in his heart.

What kind of landslides or mountain roads are blocked?

It was clear that these people had walked ahead of them in advance, artificially creating the appearance of a landslide, and then secretly ambush them, forcing the group to take a detour to the footpath at the foot of the mountain, so that they could be condescending and use their superiority to defeat their subordinates. They're standing in the way!

In fact, if these Langya Pass soldiers stopped moving forward, or retreated from the mountain stream to wait, then the people on the cliff would naturally be helpless against them, but they had to move forward!

After all, the wedding date set by the imperial edict for Princess An Ning is two days later!

Peng Xiao was anxious, hesitating between rushing over directly or waiting and thinking carefully about a safe way to defeat the enemy.

While the two sides were in a stalemate, suddenly a woman's chuckle came from behind them.

"Hey, what's going on? General Peng, we really meet each other through mountains and rivers."
