Chapter 129: The Unavoidable Assassination
When Yun Zhao was still a civilian, the world was almost full of good people, with only a handful of extremely vicious villains.
When Yun Zhao became a small leader, there were more bad people in the world. Looking around, these bad people were mixed among the good people, laughing and grabbing benefits everywhere.
When Yun Zhao becomes a real big shot, if you look at him from a high place - except for me, the whole world is a bastard with excessive demands.
Now Yun Zhao only has limited trust in everyone except his mother!
For this psychological construction, Yun Zhao worked hard for a long time and was sad for a long time. In the process of psychological construction, Yun Zhao discovered that he was the ugliest person in the world. A bad guy.
Once he reached this position, he found that all those beautiful things were quickly moving away from him.
Including, love, friendship.
At this time, Yun Zhao wanted to build a mausoleum for himself and bury himself in advance.
Perhaps this is the reason why emperors of all dynasties built mausoleums while they were still alive.
It is a dangerous road from Tianshui to Baoji. Most of the roads are in the high mountains, that is, in the Qinling Mountains.
The thing that Yun Zhao hates most when he comes to the Ming Dynasty is traveling. It used to take half an hour to get from Tianshui to Baoji, but now it’s better. He has to ride a horse for three days in the high mountains and ridges. If he’s not careful, There is a danger of people and horses falling into the cliff together.
This place is indeed a good place to lay an ambush. In Yun Zhao's view, many places can be described as one man is a barrier for thousands of people to open.
Yuan Min fell ill a day ago with a high fever, which is very dangerous. It is said that it was accompanied by pneumonia. Whether he can survive depends on God's will.
If Yuan Min pretended to have such a disease, Yun Zhao felt that even if he was fooled, he would admit it. After all, he paid a real price to kill him.
There are many paradise-like villages along this road, located in twos and threes at the foot of the mountains. Sometimes there is a bamboo forest, sometimes there is a persimmon tree.
The bamboo forest was lush, and Yun Zhao even saw two giant pandas nibbling spring bamboo shoots. The persimmon trees were still bare, except for the occasional one or two shriveled persimmons hanging on the branches.
People?
Stupid and poor... When he saw the large group of people coming, the first thing he did was to run away, which made the Yun's cavalry scouts think they were assassins and chased them for a long time.
Yun Zhao is dressed like the rest of the cavalry. There are two grenades hanging on the leather armor, red feathers on the iron helmet, and a black cloak covers the rear crotch of the war horse. Under the crotch is a maroon horse. The spear is on the iron lintel, the waist knife is on the chest, the quiver is on the back, the bow and arrow are on the side of the leg, and the two short blunderbuss are in front of the saddle. They don't receive any special care.
The large group of 500 people did not disperse, but was divided into three teams, each team was no more than ten feet apart, meandering forward.
Yun Zhao was in the front line, galloping with a group of scouts.
The green mountains are constantly moving forward, and the road is constantly retreating from under the hooves of the war horses. Every step taken is one step closer to Baoji.
Hongshuitan is right in front of you.
There is a waterfall pouring down on this high mountain made of red soil. The water is crystal clear, but what falls out of the waterfall is a piece of red sandstone. Over time, a huge deep pit has been washed away by the water. It is red, which is why it is called Hongshuitan.
This is the campsite chosen by Clouded Leopard and Yunxiao. It is also a rare open place on this road.
Yun Zhao got off the horse. The jolting of the horse all day made his body feel like it was falling apart.
As early as the departure, Clouded Leopard had already stipulated Yun Zhao's behavior. Before returning to Lantian County, he was no different from the other soldiers.
So, Yun Zhao and Xu Wu wanted to level the ground together, set up the tent together, and line up to get food from the cook together.
Yun Zhao and Xu Wu wanted to be proficient in setting up tents, and their methods of placing war horses were the same as others.
If, at this time, someone wanted to distinguish Yun Zhao from this group of people, it would be very difficult.
Clouded Leopard and Yunxiao did not have so many scruples. They were enjoying the privileges of the generals peacefully. A young man who was about the same age and height as Yun Zhao was surrounded by the two of them. No matter which young man Wherever they go, they never leave.
Staying in the mountains at night, Yun Zhao likes this kind of environment very much. However, tonight, there is no roar of tigers or monkeys. It is so quiet outside that it makes people think that they have entered another silent world.
The Qinling Mountains are extremely rich in wild animals. Not to mention the common giant pandas and snow leopards, even tigers are very common in the Qinling Mountains.
Of course, the most common ones are groups of wild boars.
When the moonlight covers the Qinling Mountains, those vigilant wild boars will go out in groups to harm the seeds that farmers have just planted in the ground.
However, tonight, not even a wild boar can be seen, and even the pheasants and hares that often appear seem to have disappeared.
"They seem to really want to kill you here, and there are a lot of people arranged. At least the beasts in the two mountains before and after are gone, which means there are at least a hundred people."
Yunxiao chattered for a while intentionally or unintentionally when passing Yunzhao's tent.
"A hundred people just want to kill me?"
"Don't be careless, there are many strange people and strange things in the Qinling Mountains. Do you still remember that ruthless bandit flying on grass?"< /p>
“You mean the one who suffered so much blood debt that you threw him into the bone pool in the end?”
“That’s right, if this guy hadn’t left the Qinling Mountains and gone to the plains to find a sweetheart. , it is impossible for us to catch him on the mountain.
I estimate that the people who come to trouble us today cannot be simple.The people still know it. In this case, they sent over a hundred people. They must all be elite soldiers, and there can be no mediocrity.
Be careful yourself, there is no way to break through! "
"Huh? Not allowed to break out? ”
“Yes, I want to break out!” "
"Understood, I will stay where I am. I hope you can lure the enemy away. ”
After Yun Xiao made arrangements, he took the young man disguised as Yun Zhao to the next tent and ordered everyone to be careful.
The sun has set, and the mountains The place immediately fell into darkness. There were no lights in the tent group. Only three feet away from the sentinel, there was a pile of blazing flames shining on the mountains opposite.
The river in the mountain stream was gurgling. As he sat there, Yun Zhao lay on the tent entrance, looking at the deep canyon, and thought to Xu Wu: "My life is so valuable now. "
Xu Wu thought: "This is a good thing. "
"Tell me, why does everyone want to kill me now? "
Xu Wu thought: "Killing you will bring a lot of benefits to many people. Over the years, our Lantian County has wiped out countless bandits, arrested countless thieves who harmed the people, and blocked the There are countless people's way to get rich, so there are many people who want your life. We have no way to admonish others with our words. We can only become a villain through killing one after another, a villain that everyone fears.
Then, use the face of evil to do good things.
You said before that we want to help many people live a good life. Regardless of whether others are willing to accept it or not, we will smash a happy life on their heads.
We do not harvest gratitude and gratitude from others. We only want to satisfy our own will to save the country and the people, and these wills will not be changed by other people's thoughts. "
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, this is my original intention, to do our things, no matter what the consequences are.
If everyone considers the consequences, few things will be accomplished. "
Xu Wuxiang pointed to the occasional figures on the hilltop and said: 'These bastards have no idea what they are doing. The death of a person like you is a huge loss to Ming Dynasty." "
Yun Zhao shrank back into the tent and said, "So, you have to protect me."
Xu Wu wanted to drag Yun Zhao out of the tent: "You have to be careful yourself, people are going to throw stones down."
Before he finished speaking, a rumble came from the mountain opposite, and some large black stones were carried The gravel and dust poured down like thunder.
The Yun family’s camp was still quiet, and they were not surprised by this sudden attack. They quickly organized their troops, and some warriors had already fired lit rockets up the mountain.
Boulders hit the ground, and there was a sound like landslides and earth cracking. They were in front of the military formation. The shield formation that had been set up a long time ago was smashed by the rocks.Falling, smashed the shield, smashed the horse, and some broken stones even smashed some tents.
However, that was it. As the rocket was shot up the mountain, some Yun warriors wearing leather armor were already climbing up the mountain like apes according to the path arranged during the day.
