Royal Road

A grain transport team walked slowly on the not-so-lenient official road, with twenty large vehicles lined up like a long dragon. The trucks are filled with rice bags, and a truck has at least more than ten stones. They are coveted there. Since the severe drought last year, bandits have emerged, and such food teams have rarely been seen on official roads.

However, such a team has only a dozen guards, and there is no deterrence for those extremely vicious bandits, it is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it is to the north of Tongyue, the bandits may still be concerned about the cities and villages along the way. However, after passing the Tongyue, the mountain road that stretches for dozens of miles becomes the most terrible hunting ground.

Looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, the leader of the team suddenly raised his arms: "Stop, take a break!"

Following this command, the convoy quickly stopped, the cart supported the bracket, and the guards took out the water bag dry food and began to use the food. Starting from Jinyang, it took them only two days to cross the Tong Mo, and they went all the way day and night. Therefore, every time they take a break, everyone will race against time to replenish their stamina and recharge their energy to support the rest of the journey.

The rest time was longer than in the past. It took a full half an hour before the team leader stood up again and said loudly: "Check the bridles of the livestock and the ropes on the car. All cheer me up, and it's about to cross the mountain!" "

The guards immediately jumped up and inspected the animal's rope bridle and the cart next to him. After everything was confirmed, the convoy continued to move forward. There is no shop in front of the village, and the mountain road is extremely narrow, making it easy to ambush. As long as there is a bandit on the side, it is easy to attack the weakness of the convoy. However, the team leader didn't seem to realize this, and he still strode ahead.

Less than a quarter of an hour after walking like this, there was a sudden noise from the mountains ahead, and dozens of bandits with hideous faces and holding swords and sticks rushed out. It may be that the ambush time was too long, and they couldn't wait for the convoy to approach, so they rushed out. However, the number of people was several times larger than that of the guards, and these bandits all looked grim and ran fast. This is twenty carts of rice! As long as a wave of rushes is enough to eat this fat sheep!

Suddenly encountering an enemy, if it is another caravan, it will inevitably panic and mess up. This is because the food team below did not panic, and the leader in the lead shouted: "Fight at both ends! Form a circle!"

With this command, the first and last four of the team were pulled by the frame of the horse, and quickly turned sideways, connecting end to end, like a circular high wall, blocking in front of the bandit. The frame and the food stack are as high as one person, and if you want to attack the guard, you must climb over the barrier.

The opponent changed their formations too fast, and the leader of the mountain bandit was taken aback, and immediately roared: "This flock of sheep can't escape! Kill me! Break through the car formation!"

This defensive formation has advantages and disadvantages. Although it is not easy to break through, it also blocks the way for the guards to retreat. The number of their own sons is several times that of them, and as long as they rush up, none of these people can escape!

The bandit leader shouted loudly, while leading his hand to rush down, but a sharp arrow pierced through the air and rushed toward his door.

Archer! The boss flashed his head, and the feather arrow scratched his ears, bringing out a blood stain. He was startled in a cold sweat and couldn't help taking two steps back. There are still archers in the team? ! The anger ignited again in an instant, and he shouted loudly: "Give me, rush over! They are so few, they can't resist it!"

"Tsk." An arrow shot into the air. Sun Jiao gave a dark tut, and continued to bow and shoot, "Aim at the ones ahead, kill them one by one!"

Behind him, the three archers drew the bowstrings together and shot towards the bandit in front of him. They are all good hands who have practiced for a few months. Their quasi-heads are quite good. They only listen to the buzzing of strings, and one after another mountain bandits fall on the road. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, after all, a few bows could not stop the enemy forces several times their own. The bandits quickly rushed past the shooting range of the longbow and rushed towards the grain truck. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Chong rushed to the front, but no one was able to board the grain truck. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!)

The team leader did not know when he had already raised Zhang Yu's spear, and said loudly, "Stab the one who shows up! Don't let one go!"

Beside him, fifteen soldiers held long guns and stood firmly behind the car formation, like a forest of guns, blocking the footsteps of the bandits. Among them, some of them were still trembling with arms, but most of them opened their eyes in anger and stabbed the invading bandits with guns! This is the life-saving food of the Liang Mansion, and the food of their own subsistence! If they are snatched away, how can the wife and children in the family live? How will the trilogy survive? This is given to them by the main bus, and no one can tolerate it!

"Kill!" A sound of killing sounded, and the spear relentlessly waved towards the enemy!

The bandit leader couldn't help but flushed his eyes. There are obviously only so few people, how can it be so difficult to chew? ! This is the man and horse that he got after having assembled two hills. If most of them are damaged, shouldn't they be swallowed by other villages? However, it is difficult to ride a tiger. If you don't capture the team, you will die in vain!

"Walk behind! Let's attack together!" He shouted loudly, commanding his hands to form a ball, flanking him on all sides, and at the same time put his hand between his lips to make a whistle.

There was a rushing rustle in the mountains. This was the rear team he arranged. He originally planned to flick back and forth, but it was surrounded by a tortoise shell and had to be side by side.

The number of enemies increased, and the pressure behind the car wall surged, but even so, the guards did not retreat at all.

"Damn it? Why is it so difficult!" The bandit leader cursed loudly, and rushed forward, ignoring the dark arrow. He didn't believe that, relying on his own strong soldiers who crossed the mountains and plains, they would be trapped by the mere food brigade!

However, at this moment, a crisp sound of horseshoes sounded.

The leader looked back in horror, and saw five horses galloping from a distance. At the head of the high-headed horse, a man holding a longbow with a sharp arrow pointed at him, his heart was cold, and he wanted to hide, Fei Yu had already cut through the sky and hit his eyes. There was a terrible cry, and the leader of the mountain bandit fell on his back to the ground.

After losing the coach, there was a commotion among the thieves. Some people were timid and wanted to escape, while others were reluctant to bear the food truck in front of them, and the formation immediately went into chaos. The knights who came on horseback would not give them time to hesitate, and the five steeds rushed into the chaos army like arrows from the string.

The blade was flying, the blood was splashed, and there was no enemy in front of the cavalry. The mountain bandits were chopped down one after another. Some people can no longer hold back the fear in their hearts and turn around to escape. But when they turned around, they found an extra team behind them.

On the narrow mountain road, there were five men in a row. Soldiers armed with long spears had already blocked their retreat. Behind them, there was a shield hand holding a wooden shield and a long knife, his face hidden under the shield, only his murderous eyes were exposed. In the sound of a low horn, they took their steps. The sound of their steps was neat and scary, like a giant sky-high roaring.

Being blocked in the middle, the ferocity of the bandits was also aroused. Many people raised their swords and clubs and rushed towards the group of soldiers. As long as you break through this line of defense, you will escape to heaven!

Facing the attack like fish death and net breaking, that team of soldiers did not mess, and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

The spears pierced out, and the three rows of spearmen were like rolling waves, crushing the enemy army in front of them. The sword and shield following hand raised the sword and fell, harvesting those unbroken lives. The bandit fell down like a stalk of grass as soon as the battle was fought. Facing the overwhelming combat power gap, that group of bandits collapsed, screaming, wailing, and begging for mercy. However, it lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and there was no sound on the mountain road.

With a wave of the blood bead on the long knife, Yi Yan held the reins: "Move the corpse away and continue on the road."

This battle was in his expectation. This is one of the most suitable places to set up ambushes. He arranged for a back-up early and used the convoy as a decoy to attract the attention of thieves. It is extremely easy to wipe out these enemies with a rush and a siege.

"The team is right, fifteen miles ahead, there are soldiers from the mansion to respond." An even leader stepped forward and said.

"Very good." Yi Yan narrowed his gray-blue eyes and looked into the distance. After each journey, there will be soldiers to respond, so that not only can take turns to rest, but also unexpectedly, the enemy is caught off guard. As long as Yongrui is present, no one can seize this batch of grain from him! When the food is safely transported back to the mansion, it is time for these bandits to die!

The road was quickly cleared, and a group of soldiers still stained with blood continued to stride forward.

"Zixi, it's been more than ten days. Why hasn't your part come back yet?" Wang Wen was a little worried. "Now the world is too chaotic, it's better to send more talents."

When sending rice grains back to the mansion before, Liang Feng declined his suggestion to send the royal palace trilogy to send it away, and only let the lightly dressed trilogy send the grains back. It's been twelve or thirteen days, and I haven't come back yet. How can we not worry Wang Wen?

"Central integrity and peace of mind. It is a blessing or a curse, free and natural. If the Buddha is pitying, the rice will not be a hindrance." Liang Feng replied lightly, without the slightest air of firework in his tone.

Wang Wen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zixi has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures recently, and he has become more and more dusty. It doesn't matter, if he is really robbed, I will make up for your food."

The Wang clan really doesn't take that little rice in his eyes. Of course, the same applies to human fate. Liang Feng smiled without answering. These days, he only played the yaoqin in the palace, copied Buddhist scriptures, and occasionally went to banquets to chat with the elites and taste tea.

I have to say that the batch of scriptures given by the old monk is really useful. The Buddhist scriptures are inherently powerful and speculative, and they are all of the Mahayana Prajna series. They are a very good supplement to the "Diamond Sutra" and make his theory of good deeds more complete. The foundation laid by the previous Fa conference has been best consolidated at this moment, making his reputation among the top players better and better.

"If Zixi is willing to go into office, I must be able to surprise Luoyang." Wang Wen looked at Liang Feng's upright posture and couldn't help sighing, "Pei Zhongpu was also sighing two days ago. Such a good talent has been lost in the wild. The court regretted it."

In the past few days, Liang Feng has also learned a lot about the situation between North Korea and China from people's chats. The Wang clan is the top clan, and even the Sima family must give the princess to Wang Wen’s elder brother. Ma Teng, a Dongying company, came to Bingzhou, and he had to live in harmony with the Wang family to get things done. It can be said that the Wang family is the uncrowned master of Bingzhou. The Pei family was closely related to Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and the daughter of the Pei family was also married to the King of the East China Sea as a concubine. As long as he wins the favor of the Wang family and Pei family, it is equivalent to climbing the two princes. Whether as an aide or as an official, it is a trivial matter.

However, Liang Feng did not want to go to Luoyang. Nowadays, the political situation fluctuates, and the kings' struggle for hegemony has not yet come to an end. If you went to Luoyang, it would be tantamount to abandoning Liang's Mansion and being in the chaos of the court. This is even more dangerous than being on the front line of war. Liang Feng would never allow himself to fall into a situation where he could not protect himself.

With a calm smile, Liang Feng shook his head and said: "My body is still too bad. During my trip to Jinyang, I almost fell ill on the road, let alone Luoyang?"

"That's true." Wang Wen smiled, "Then wait for Zixi to recover, let's talk about this. Come and see if my post is better?"

The two were chatting, and a maid came over and said softly: "Lang Jun, the trilogy of Liang Mansion is back, and we are waiting in Mu Yuting."

"Oh? Come back safely? Zixi really deserves the title of Buddha." Wang Wen smiled immediately.

Liang Feng couldn't help but settled in his heart. After convicting Wang Wen, he got up and left the table and returned to the courtyard. The courtyard was still so elegant, but Xiao Xiao Luzhu couldn't suppress the **** suffocation of the man in the court. Seeing Liang Feng's figure, Yi Yan walked over quickly and knelt down on one knee: "Lord, it's too late to come down. "

"It's okay." Liang Feng stretched out his hand to help him up, "have you encountered any thief soldiers on the road?"

"There are three stocks in total, all of them were wiped out by the Yongrui camp. I also led the team to pull out four cottages and completely eliminated the banditry all the way!" Yi Yan replied simply, and the words were full of murderous intent.

This was beyond Liang Feng's expectation. He hurriedly asked, "Are there injuries?"

"Only five people were injured, and the rest were minor injuries."

"Unexpectedly!" Liang Feng was really shocked. Even for him, I didn't expect Yi Yan to achieve such a record! If the Yongrui battalion has enough soldiers, can it fight the Huns head-on? A smile appeared on his lips, and he patted Yiyan's arm hard, "As expected of my champion!"

Yi Yan's ears turned red as soon as he rubbed his ears. What he liked most was the story of Huo Qubing. He dreamed that he wanted to be such an unparalleled hero. This compliment is enough to surpass countless favors!

Liang Feng didn't notice Yi Yan's excitement, and took a deep breath: "That's good. This Jinyang, we don't need to stay any longer, we will go back to the house!"

As long as he has food, he will have soldiers, and if he has soldiers, he will be able to survive in this troubled world. People Zuti only took a few thousand pieces of cloth and dared to cross the river north to recover his homeland. He had food, soldiers and reputation, so what was he afraid of!

Looking at the lord's energetic face, Yi Yan's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.

The next day, the Jian Su carriage drove out of the palace again, with half fewer guards than before, and two large carts full of gifts from the palace, and drove toward the road.
