Chapter 4 There is a boy in the sedan chair
Wait, what are you waiting for? Of course, those who want to kill him are waiting for them to appear one by one. Although Mu Qiuhuang's inspection of the border town this time is secretive, the news will always be known to some interested people.
Mu Qiuhuang's purpose is to use herself as bait to attract those who want to do evil to her.
How could a mere few hundred five-flowered horses be in the eyes of Young Master Beiyu, so chasing the bandits was a lie, and wanting to level Mangdang Mountain was also a lie.
Since the third year of Long Qian's reign, the young emperor issued an order to King Qin. Except for the two princes, Xiliehou and Beiyuhou, who came to the capital according to Zhao, the other six princes openly resisted the decree, and their intentions were already clear.
At that time, the Marquis of Nan Zhao openly confronted the Marquis of Xi Lie. The Marquis of Bei Yu was forced to return because of the Ninggade tribe.
These two incidents have already shown the purpose of other princes: to make Dongchehou a pioneer and break the balance of the world.
You must know that the Ningade tribe is as afraid of the Beiyu army as a tiger. There are no other princes secretly supporting the Ningade tribe. How can they dare to provoke?
In the past, although there were nine major princes, the successive kings of Dayou had extremely strict control over the princes.
Except for the Beiyu Lian Grassland, which was allowed to have an army of 300,000 in order to resist the barbarians, the other princes could not have more than 200,000 troops.
But Dayou has an army of 300,000.
The purpose of the existence of this 300,000-strong army is to prevent the feudal lords from attacking. They are almost never dispatched. Even if there is a war, the troops are mobilized from the feudal lords.
When the king is strong, the princes will not dare to rebel.
But now, Emperor Longshuo suddenly died suddenly, and the old master who was the only one who could suppress the princes also passed away. The remaining little emperor was still young and naturally lacked power.
Each of the nine major princes has troops and land, and the tiger dominates one area.
How many people are willing to give one child as their master?
As for the imperial court's 300,000-strong army? In the battle with Dongche's army, more than 100,000 were lost. Moreover, the Xiahou family now dominates the court. Whether the young emperor can mobilize this 200,000-strong army will have to be decided separately.
explain.
As for the princes' troops, which are not allowed to exceed 200,000? Since the death of Emperor Longshuo, this regulation has long been in vain.
…
There are people who dare to seek the throne of the emperor, let alone the position of the Marquis of Beiyu.
Although Mu Qiuhuang is the eldest son, he has already been made the heir apparent by Mu Qingen.
But don't forget, Mu Qingen has two sons.
In terms of background, the other son's mother was the current royal family and the emperor's biological aunt. Mu Qiuhuang's mother was just a maid in the Hou Mansion.
Although everyone did not dare to disobey Mu Qingen's decision, they could
Who can really be willing?
Besides, a dead person cannot inherit the position of a marquis, right?
…
"I hope it's not you, otherwise it will be really difficult for me." Mu Qiuhuang murmured to himself.
As noon approached, Mu Qiuhuang called the leader of the black armor and said: "Take someone to meet Gui Yu and the others... Calculating the time, Qi Sanbao should have arrived at the border town of Bei Mo last night. If you and Gui Yu rush back here,
At that time, if Qi Sanbao has not arrived with his army... then you go and take Qi Sanbao's head and go back and tell the Marquis: There has been a change in the eagle and dog."
Seeing the black-armored leader looking at him, he didn't take orders.
Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly, knowing that he was worried about her, rather than hesitating because of Qi Sanbao's special status.
As we all know, the Marquis of Beiyu has six adopted sons, who are known as "One Phoenix, Two Tigers and Three Eagle Dogs". Each of them has great military exploits, loyalty and loyalty, and has won the trust of Mu Qingen. Qi Sanbao is among these three eagle dogs.
The "evil dog" in.
But Mu Qiuhuang knew that since his father handed over the command of the Thousand Blood Phoenix Flags to him, they would only be loyal to him alone.
Not to mention that they were asked to kill Qi Sanbao, the "evil dog" among the Three Eagle Dogs. Even if they were asked to kill their deputy commander, "Blood Phoenix" Tie Kuangyun, they would never refuse.
"Don't worry! It only takes half an hour for you to go back and forth. Besides, with Mr. here, it won't be difficult to protect me." Mu Qiuhuang said.
The black-armored leader looked at the skinny old man beside Mu Qiuhuang, then took the order and left.
Not long after Blood Phoenix Banner left, four red lamas suddenly appeared in front of Mangdang Mountain carrying a sedan chair.
Mu Qiuhuang looked up and saw that the sedan was made entirely of red sandalwood, with gold and jade inlaid on it. It looked brilliant and beautiful.
The four red lamas carrying the sedan looked strange. The tallest one was more than two meters tall, the short one was less than one meter, and he was a dwarf. The fat one looked like a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant, and the thin one was like a dwarf.
skinny.
The four lamas hold different instruments. The tallest one holds a prayer wheel, the short one holds a vajra in his arms, the fat white man holds a golden cymbal in both hands, and the thin man holds a big drum.
It stands to reason that the four red lamas are very different in stature and are not suitable for carrying the same sedan chair. However, the sedan chair is extremely stable and has no bumps.
Mu Qiuhuang looked carefully and realized that the tall lama actually had his arms hanging down and holding the handle of the sedan chair, while the shortest lama was holding the sedan chair on his toes with his hand raised high above his head.
"You are also here to invite me to the grassland as a guest? No
You're right. You also know how to carry a sedan chair. You are much more polite than those grassland barbarians. But unfortunately, the four of you are too ugly. You look like three-quarters of a human and seven-part of a ghost. If I sit on the sedan chair you are carrying, I might fall over.
My appetite..." Mu Qiuhuang teased her before the sedan landed.
The four lamas turned a deaf ear to Mu Qiuhuang's words and carefully dropped the sedan on the ground. The moment the sedan landed, all the gravel and sand on the ground were stirred up by the sedan, and even the weeds rooted on the ground were swept up.
They gathered together and swept towards Mu Qiuhuang like a huge wave.
Seeing that the sand and gravel were about to arrive in an instant, Mu Qiuhuang pushed the knife out with its sheath.
This move is exactly the guarding position of the Nine Heavenly Sword Styles.
Quickly return to the sword, and the iron chain crosses the river.
The sand and gravel rushed towards the scimitar, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier in the middle. Mu Qiuhuang was pushed back by the sand and gravel, and her feet plowed two deep marks on the ground, but not a single grain of sand could cross the scimitar.
.
The power coming from the gravel frightened Mu Qiuhuang. At this moment, he felt like he was the praying mantis blocking the car.
Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang could no longer hold on, the skinny old man coughed.
At this moment, Mu Qiuhuang felt that the power in front of him seemed to have disappeared. Without any time to think, Mu Qiuhuang unsheathed his scimitar and raised it from bottom to top.
He raised his sword in anger and set fire to the prairie fire.
Among the nine Heavenly Sword postures, the Knife-raising posture.
As soon as the knife was swung, the sand and gravel rushed in the opposite direction toward the lama, just like the water of the Yellow River flowing backwards.
At this moment, the sedan curtain was lifted from the inside, and the sand and gravel in the air instantly fell to the ground, and calm returned.
"You lama, you are so rude..." Mu Qiuhuang was about to curse, but she found that the person getting out of the sedan was actually a child.
He looks like he is only six or seven years old, but his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his skin is as tender as a baby. He is only half a forehead taller than the dwarf lama, but his eyes are as deep as the underworld, making people dare not look too much.
look.
This child was also dressed as a lama. If he looked closely, he found that the color of the red clothes on this child was slightly different from the red clothes on the four lamas, as if they were dyed with blood.
"Gu Chenyuan, you really cheated your death. This is great. It fulfills my wish for many years." The child in blood clothes said, but his voice was old and shabby.
"I thought it was a little boy, but I didn't expect it to be an old goblin." Mu Qiuhuang muttered.
"So your surname is Gu?"
