The pride of heaven

A month later, the sending-off team was on the road as scheduled. At this time, no one knew about it, and Emperor Xuan, who was disturbed by the rumors in the market, finally sent a horse to the frontier garrison camp to announce the decree to Marquis Dingyuan, ordering him to return to Beijing to reassure the people. , Since then, the balance of various forces in the capital has been broken.

Seeing off the people in the road, seeing the endless and majestic sending guards, they all felt emotional. If this is a woman, she will be envious of others, but this is a noble born and proud son who is loved by the people. Such a scene made people feel angry.

Not to mention the noble birth of the six princes, but just the Yun family, who made great contributions to the founding of the country, a powerful family, and the pillars of the country. The battle with Jinliao in Youzhou 30 years ago made the people in the border awe even more. Hou is the god of war, and he has also achieved the reputation of the Nether Sixteen Knights.

That year Jinliao's 20 troops approached the city, Youzhou was in danger, and Youzhou Governor Taitao died in battle. At that time, he was only a weak crown year, and Dingyuanhou, who had just been appointed as a prince, led 16 relatives, wearing Haechi masks and black clothes. Marquis Dingyuan holds a silver spear in his hand, a long saber in his waist and hips, and takes the lead.The sixteen cavalry who followed immediately rushed into Youzhou with the force of thousands of troops, beating the enemy under their horses like demons and monsters.

One night later, rivers of blood flowed into the city of Youzhou, and mountains of corpses. Ding Yuanhou rescued Tai Tao's youngest son, Tai Kui, under the sword of Jin Liao general Han Kuangyue.

Tai Kui was young, but he was not afraid of the enemy generals at all. Dingyuan Hou Jianzhi lamented his integrity and arrogance.After this battle, these 17 people were like emissaries of the underworld, making people frightened and afraid to look directly at them. Since then, the sixteen riders of the underworld have become famous far and wide, and the soldiers and people at the border also regard Dingyuanhou as the god of war.

It's a pity, is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's subject on the shore of the land, so what about the god of war, and what about the prince, the so-called monarch, minister, minister, father and son, first serve the emperor and then the father, the power makes people obsessed, crazy, and people. Unfeeling.

Tai A pointed to the woods ahead and said: "Your Highness, after passing the woods ahead is the Yupu River, and we will soon reach Dazhou."

Qi Mingjue's voice was indifferent, unable to hear any emotion: "Well, Tai Ah, you are the second uncle's direct son, and your grandfather loves the second uncle, as long as you want to stay, you don't have to follow my background and leave the hometown."

"Your Highness," Tai Ah's eyes flickered, "Since His Highness saved Tai Ah, Tai Ah's life belongs to His Highness, and Tai Ah voluntarily followed His Highness."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh

"Protect Your Highness."

"Protect Your Highness."

In an instant, dozens of black-clothed masked assassins sprang out from the trees and bushes. All of them were skilled in martial arts. Half of the guards were killed in a blink of an eye.

"Your Highness." The captain of the guard, Song Gang, exclaimed, got off his horse, and went straight to the front of the car.

Song Gang was a confidant of Emperor Yan Xuan, and this time he was entrusted with the position of the commander of the bodyguard team. He was obviously a guard, but he was actually an escort to ensure the smooth progress of the marriage. But if he died on the way before being sent to Dazhou, he The crime is serious, of course he is nervous.

"咻", just heard the sound of arrows, and the assassins scattered away.

Song Gang opened the curtain of the carriage, his face turned from white to red and then from red to green in an instant, and he shouted, "Where is Your Highness? Where is Your Highness?"

"Yes, in the carriage." The young general on the side replied tremblingly, raised his head and glanced into the carriage, stunned, who is this person, and where is His Highness Six?

At this time, two young men in bodyguard uniforms came out from behind the carriage, "General Song, I am here." These two people were none other than Qi Mingjue and his personal guard Tai'a.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Song Gang asked with a slightly relaxed expression when he saw the intact Qi Mingjue.

Qi Mingjue: "General Song is tired, and my palace is fine."

Song Gang: "Fortunately, Your Highness has been prepared for things like a god, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. It's a pity that no one was captured, and there is no way to know who the masterminds behind these assassins are. I don't know if Your Highness has any clues."

Qi Mingjue shook his head: "I don't know who the master envoy is. It's a coincidence that he escaped this time." Qi Mingjue didn't hide anything. Ning, just in case, these days he disguised himself as a bodyguard and went along with the team, which was the only way to save his life in the previous attack.

Tai A: "It seems that these assassins retreated in a hurry because they thought they had succeeded. We acted in a low-key manner, and we should be able to reach the territory of Dazhou safely."

Qi Mingjue: "What Tai Ah said is very true. General Song sent an order to let the remaining guards find ordinary clothes to change into, and pretend to be ordinary people before going on the road."

Song Gang: "Yes, Your Highness."

After Song Gang left, Tai'a Jian frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

Qi Mingjue: "Tai Ah, you and my brother, if you have something to say, you might as well speak it out."

Tai'a raised his eyes, his eyes were deep: "Your Highness, could the assassin be a concubine's party?"

Qi Mingjue said with a wry smile: "Tai Ah, I have already lost my right of inheritance, it is not wise for them to act at this time."

Tai A squinted his eyes, thoughtful: "It's just that in this court, if you want to order His Highness and have the strength to do it, there is no second choice except the Royal Concubine Party."

"The current situation is not clear, but this person probably does not want my palace to reach Da Zhou safely. It's just that this marriage was originally proposed by Da Zhou, and the person behind the scenes will not be King Zhou. If something happens on the way, the first The one who will be suspected is Da Zhou. Judging from the way the king of Zhou behaves, even if Da Zhou wants to go to war with our country, he will definitely find a high-sounding reason, and he will not get himself burned, but it is not known whether there are people in Da Zhou who are acting positively and violatingly. " Qi Mingjue said helplessly, "Let our people be more cautious, let's do it and see."

Tai A: "Yes, Your Highness."

That night, a flying slave appeared over the camp where the guards were sent away, heading south.

The news soon reached the ears of Emperor Yan Xuan.

Emperor Xuan was furious, but he quickly settled down, turned his head and asked Chen Xi, the commander of the guards beside him: "Is there something wrong with the sixth child?"

Chen Xi: "His Majesty, fortunately there is no danger, His Highness is safe, but more than half of the accompanying ceremonial guards were killed or injured."

Yan Xuanzong: "Well, it doesn't matter, as long as the sixth child arrives in Dazhou safely and gets married smoothly. The decree is to block the news immediately, and this matter must not be circulated. Anyone who violates the order will be beheaded."

"Yes, I'll do it right now." Chen Xide retreated step by step.
