Chapter 186 Midnight Horseshoe Rush
The mission headed north along the bank of the Yellow River, and it happened to be sunset.
Xie Yi looked at the scene in the distance and subconsciously recited a famous line from the Tang Dynasty poem: The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun sets in the long river is round.
When Di Zhixun heard the sound, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "This is a new poem by Mr. Xie."
Xie Yi couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and what's wrong, but this matter cannot be explained, so he could only nod helplessly.
"I heard that Mr. Xie is very talented and has great poetry and prose. Today, it turns out to be true. Just these two sentences will express the wonderful scenery in front of you, and it is just right and vivid."
Di Zhixun said: "It should be more than these two sentences. I wonder if I can recite them all to open my eyes."
"Ah" Xie Yi couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The full text of this poem seemed to remember not so clearly for a while. If you want to read this thing, it would be inappropriate.
"I'm not hiding this poem, there are still one or two things that are not careful about it, and I need to consider it later." Xie Yi had no choice but to find an excuse to refuse.
"Okay, I will wait and see." Di Zhixun smiled and remembered the incident of his son entering the Jin Palace for studying. In the Jin Palace, he not only received the teachings of those great scholars, but Xie Yi would also give more suggestions. With the teachings of the most talented man in the world, his son should be more beneficial.
It seems that we have to think of a way to ask Mr. Xie to help more and make this happen as much as possible.
As a result, Mr. Di became even more polite to Xue Shi. When he was camping at night, he toasted Xue Shi Shi Shi Shi, which made Xie Yi feel a little embarrassed.
However, just as Xie Yi was planning to enjoy a bonfire party on the bank of the Yellow River and camping in the open air, an accident happened.
When the chaotic sound of horse hooves sounded, Ye Bei immediately reacted and told Xue Shang to protect Xie Yi, and disappeared into the night. Sun Wukai, the captain who was responsible for leading the 500 accompanying soldiers, was also nervous. Yes, he was the one who led the troops.
Since he was successful in protecting the lord of Jiucheng Palace, Sun Wukai was favored by His Majesty Li Er, and now he is the Captain of Zhaowu. The marriage with the young lady of the Qin family has naturally happened.
It will take some time to get married. It is His Majesty Li Er's will and Sun Wu's wish to make him escort with him.
He didn't have so much worries about this mission, and he felt more that this was an opportunity. It was rare that the emperor valued it, how could he give him shamelessness?
The marriage can be delayed a little, but the opportunity is rare. After a thousand miles of journey, it is another great achievement. Why not do it?
Of course, after all, it was a mission to the grassland and the Gentiles, and there were still dangers, so they were mentally prepared. But Sun Wukai never expected that this was the place where there were large troops stationed in Lingzhou in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there would be such troubles.
Hearing the noisy sound of horse hooves, everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel tight. Sun Wukai ordered the soldiers to form a defensive formation and protected Xie Yi and Di Zhixun in the middle. At the same time, be prepared and escort the two important personnel away at any time if there is any abnormality.
Xie Yi and Di Zhixun looked at each other, but their faces were normal and they were not panicked. Xie Yi had experienced the original assassination of Shanzhou and Leyou, and was also considered a person who had seen the world.
Di Zhixun is the chief minister of the Liangzhou Governor's Office. He has had military experience and has seen thousands of troops, let alone the situation in front of him.
If it is daytime, everything is easy to say, but at night
His vision is blocked. I don’t know anything about any abnormal situation. This is the most helpless thing. Fortunately, Ye Bei is good at chasing Zhong and Ye Xing, and I hope he can discover something.
As expected, Ye Bei did not disappoint. After a moment, he sent back a safety message, which immediately made people feel relieved.
When Yebei returned to the camp, about a dozen or twenty horses had already run to the vicinity of the camp and took the initiative to light up the torches.
Under the fire, they were all dressed in Tang people, and the leader was a man and a woman. It seemed that they were not old. Especially for girls, they looked only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Behind him was a group of people who looked like entourages, but they were all carrying weapons and even equipped with horizontal swords from the army. Could it be that they were from the government office
But Di Zhixun reminded him that the chaotic land in the northwest is not as strict as Chang'an, and the weapons control is not that strict, and it is not surprising that ordinary people are equipped with horizontal swords and even powerful crossbows.
Therefore, the identity of these people is not yet confirmed, but judging from their situation, it seems that they have just escaped from the pursuit, and they are all covered in dust and even have a lot of luck.
Who are they, why are they ambushed in the middle of the night? Is it true or false? How do they appear near the camp? It's a coincidence, asking for help, or getting close with purpose
Xie Yi was immediately filled with greetings. The safety signals released by Ye Bei just now were mainly targeting the number and threat level of suspected enemies. It was naturally difficult for more than a dozen or twenty people to shake the 500-strong escort guards.
But after appearing in the mission, you have to be careful, after all, you must be careful of others.
"You are the mission of Xue Yantuo, the envoy from the Tang Dynasty."
Before Xie Yi could speak, the young man in charge opened his mouth and asked so accurately. Xie Yi and Di Zhixun looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Although this mission is not a secret, not many people know the whereabouts of the mission. In the dark wilderness, when you see a group of troops holding weapons, you can identify their identity without any mistakes, which is obviously unusual.
Therefore, Xie Yi couldn't help but wonder if this guy was following him secretly, so what's his intention?
"Yes." Surprisingly, Xie Yi did not deny it.
"That's great." Before the young man could speak, the girl next to him took the lead and said: "It's great, we are."
"Little Sister" shouted, stopping the girl appropriately at the right time, obviously not wanting her sister to reveal her true identity.
The young man said, "Hello everyone, my father is an official from the Lingzhou Governor's Office. Today I went out to visit relatives with my younger sister. I was a little late when I returned home. I didn't want to encounter attacks from evil people. Fortunately, the two of them saved each other."
"Is that true?" Xie Yi responded lightly, obviously not moved by this crappy story. The more the young man did this, the more he wanted to cover up, the more he was more suspicious.
"Where did we save us? You came here by yourself."
"Where?" the young man shook his head and said, "It is precisely because the delegation camped here that it has enough deterrent power that the bad guys dare not continue to pursue it. We were able to escape from the tiger's mouth, so I still have to thank you."
"Yourself, I'm not sure what kind of bandits are pursuing the two others, so what do you call you?" Xie Yi waved his hand and asked calmly and in a deep voice.
"A very fierce bandit, maybe it's a horse thief, I didn't see it clearly in the dark night." The young man said leisurely: "By the way, forget to introduce it yourself. In the following famous Jinghuan, this is the sister of the sacrificial girl." To be continued. ~Search the basket color and you can read the following chapters in the full text
