520. Ambush (four thousand words)
The situation in Chaoge was turbulent, and on the other hand, Bo Yikao's journey back to Xiqi was not calm.
Although Bo Yikao went to Jizhou alone and went on a study tour, when he returned to Xiqi, Hou Suhu from Jizhou must have been reluctant to let his precious daughter go to the hardships with Bo Yikao, so he not only sent a carriage to carry on, but also sent a accompanying guard to escort the two back to Xiqi.
After all, Bo Yikao was the prince of Xibohou. Although Xiqi and Chaoge have not yet turned against each other, the troubles that can be avoided must be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, after leaving Jizhou, the group did not choose to go through Enzhou, Chaoge, and then pass the nearest route of Wuguan to return to Xiqi. Instead, they chose to detour north by Caozhou, Shuozhou, cross the Yellow River, and go back to Xiqi from the north.
This was the route that Bo Yikao took from Xiqi to Jizhou.
Although the journey is a bit far, I walked all the way along the way, and there were carriages, so it was not too hard.
For Ye Xiao, he just treats it as an experience of the archetype experiences of people in this era that are different from those of later generations.
Of course, if you insist on saying that there are some bad things, it is to watch Bo Yikao and Su Dajii kiss me in the carriage along the way, and I make it very uncomfortable for single dogs to watch.
Although Ye Xiao is not actually a single dog in the usual sense, at this moment, there is no one around him, and there is actually no difference between him and a single dog.
To be honest, at the beginning, Ye Xiao thought about whether a group of people would suddenly jump out of the front as they walked, and then shouted that I was driving this road and that I planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, you will leave behind the road and buy wealth.
But in fact, they were following the official road, and the elite Jizhou army sent by Su Hu. Not to mention whether there were any bandits who dared to have a great disaster on the official road. Even if there were really bandits, they would probably be scared away when they saw the Jizhou army with full armor from afar.
Therefore, after moving forward safely for a while, Ye Xiao gave up this unrealistic thought.
In this way, Ye Xiao and Bo Yikao and their group passed Caozhou in a calm manner, passed Shuozhou, and then crossed the Yellow River.
After crossing the Yellow River from the ferry west of Shuozhou, it is actually not far from Xiqi. In other words, the places they are going to pass by are basically territory close to the forces of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that after crossing the Yellow River, both the accompanying guards and Bo Yikao became much more relaxed.
However, after crossing the Yellow River Ferry, there are actually two routes to return to Xiqi next.
One route is to walk the nearest road, go south along the Yellow River, pass Taohualing, and then catch a distance, then cross Jinjiling, and then arrive at Xiqi.
Another route is to continue walking on the official road, heading west, heading south to Qinzhou, pass Yongzhou and then return to Xiqi.
Theoretically speaking, it is naturally safer to follow the official road, but the following are all forces close to the Western Zhou Dynasty. In fact, there is no danger at all. In addition, Ye Xiao, a saint disciple, accompanied him, so Bo Yikao finally chose to take the shortcut, take the Taohualing and Jinjiling roads back to Xiqi.
Since Bo Yikao made the decision, Ye Xiao certainly would not have any objection.
So after crossing the Yellow River, the group went south along the Yellow River. Even because they were not in a hurry to rush, they stopped to play when they passed Taohualing.
Of course, this is Bo Yikao's idea again.
After all, although Taohualing is famous for its peach blossoms all over the mountains, it is really beautiful when the peach blossoms bloom, but it is really nothing good to men.
Only girls like Su Daji who are in the boudoir for many years will have no resistance to this kind of thing.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Bo Yikao can keep Su Daji's heart in him. Even if he has been thinking about it for many years, it is not unreasonable.
After passing Taohualing, Xiqi will be not far away as long as you pass another Jinjiling.
Speaking of Jinjiling, this is much more famous than Taohualing.
Because in the Romance of the Gods, there were many great wars here.
Among them, the most famous one is the battle where Kong Xuan led his troops in Jinjiling and forced the immortals to retreat with one person, and the five-colored gods shining.
Of course, Xiqi and Chaoge have not yet turned against each other, and Kong Xuan doesn’t know where to nest. Therefore, Jinjiling is just an unknown mountain ridge between Xiqi and Sishui Pass.
As the group approached Jinjiling, Ye Xiaobai lifted the curtain boredly, looked at the mountains ahead, thinking about some messy things.
Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came from the side, but Bo Yikao rode his horse and walked up from behind.
Looking at Ye Xiao who was looking out of the car window, Bo Yikao smiled and said, "What are Brother Ye looking at?"
Hanging the curtain on the side, Ye Xiao said, "Just take a look, why are you, why are you, Daji, who is with you, behind?"
While talking, Ye Xiao also thrust at a carriage behind him.
Upon hearing this, Bo Yikao also smiled awkwardly.
It is said that a small separation is better than a newlywed, but he and Daji were originally newlyweds, so they were naturally inseparable.
But now he is almost at Xiqi, and he has something in his heart, so he walked out of the gentle hometown and came to find Ye Xiao.
"Brother Ye, don't laugh at me." After waved his hand, Bo Yikao said, "But Brother Ye, there is Jinjiling ahead. After passing Jinjiling, Xiqi will be not far away. Have Brother Ye ever thought about what to do after arriving in Xiqi?"
Hearing Bo Yikao say this, Ye Xiao knew what Bo Yikao meant, but he still deliberately said: "Why, Mr. Ji didn't agree before. As long as I help you persuade the Marquis of Jizhou, will you support me? Now you regret it?"
"Uh..." Bo Yikao was speechless, but he explained patiently: "Of course not. When you arrive in Xiqi, no matter what your expenses you spend, you can just write them all in my name. However, Brother Ye is so talented and shoulders the important task of destroying Shang and destroying Buddhism. If you were still like when you were in Jizhou, you would have wasted your time."
Ye Xiao smiled, stretched, and said lightly: "Mr. Ji, do you really believe me if I used it to deceive the Marquis of Jizhou?"
"Ah?" Bo Yikao was stunned.
Seeing Bo Yikao's reaction, Ye Xiao smiled with satisfaction: "Ha, I'm lying to you. But it's your business, what does it have to do with me? Why did it become my responsibility? I think it would be good to be able to eat and drink like I did when I was in Jizhou."
When Bo Yikao saw Ye Xiao like this, he sighed helplessly. He didn't know which words Ye Xiao were true and which words were false.
However, just while he was still pondering, he heard Ye Xiao say lightly: "But Mr. Ji, instead of worrying about me now, you might as well think about how to go back to Xiqi first."
"Why are you going back to Xiqi?" Bo Yikao was stunned again.
How else can I go back to Xiqi?
There is Jinjiling ahead. As long as you pass Jinjiling, won’t you go to Xiqi?
However, when he wanted to ask Ye Xiao, he saw that Ye Xiao had already put down the curtain of the carriage.
Shaking his head helplessly, Bo Yikao urged his horse to walk towards the convoy, and as he walked, he ordered: "Everyone speeds up. After passing the Jinjiling in front, Xiqi will be almost here. We will strive to arrive at Xiqi City today."
"Yes, Mr. Ji!" The accompanying Jizhou Army guards also responded.
In the carriage, Ye Xiao also smiled slightly as he listened to the movement outside.
Hopefully what he guessed was wrong.
Just now, he casually used his divine thoughts to scan the Jinji Ridge in front, but found that there was a group of people lying in the Jinji Ridge.
So the question is, Xiqi is right in front of you. Now there is another group of people ambushing in Jinjiling. Who are these people ambushing?
If this team of people came to pick up Bo Yikao, Ye Xiao would definitely not believe it - who would be the one who picked up the family would be ambushed in the dark?
But if it was ambushed Bo Yikao, it is not reasonable in theory.
After all, few people knew Bo Yikao's whereabouts. Although he did send someone back to Xiqi in advance to report to Ji Chang about the matter in Jizhou, and said that he would return to Xiqi soon, Ji Chang would definitely not spread the news for Bo Yikao's safety outside.
In other words, even in Xiqi, few people knew Bo Yikao's whereabouts - at most they were the closest people around Ji Chang.
Therefore, this team of men should not be ambushed Bo Yikao in theory.
But if you don’t worry about ten thousand in everything, you’re afraid of something. If this team really came to ambush Boyi, that would be interesting.
Who would it be? Don’t you want Bo Yikao to take Su Daji back to Xiqi?
Of course, it will be decided whether the people in Jinjiling were ambushed by Bo Yikao.
If not, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, this team of men would definitely let them go over.
Otherwise, they will do it.
So, wait and see.
In this way, the convoy advanced all the way and soon entered Jinjiling.
And in Taohua Ridge, a group of people were hiding in the dark, peeking into Boyikao and his group of people entering the mountain.
Among them, the four generals in the head had a face of blue indigo, red hair shawl, pointed mouth and fangs, and a terrifying appearance. They were wearing golden armor, red robe on their backs, and rode a black horse under their crotch, and held a mountain-opening axe in their hands.
One has two wings on the ribs. The face is like red dates. He holds a pair of hammers in his hand. He also has fangs on his mouth. He is obviously carrying a strange trick.
Although the remaining two generals had no abnormalities, they were tall and brave, and obviously had good military strength.
The four men looked at the convoy entering the mountain. The blue-faced general, led by the four generals, said, "Three brothers, look at the people who came here, but they spent money to intercept us. This time we collected so much money, but don't kill the wrong person."
Hearing this, the red-faced general with two wings said, "Brother, I have good eyesight and look good. The team of men under the banner of Jizhou Army must have escorted the Prince of Xibo to Xiqi. It was this group of people who could not make any mistakes."
Hearing the general with red faces say this, the general with blue faces also said decisively: "Okay, since that's the case, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, make preparations quickly, don't leave anyone! We have to be moral, take money and eliminate disasters for others, and say that one will not be kept, and the other will not be kept!"
"Yes, brother!"
The other three generals should be.
However, the third one couldn't help but mutter: "It's a pity to hear that the daughter of Jizhou Marquis is also among the people."
Hearing him say this, the second brother reached out and punched him: "We have collected so much money. After making this order, what kind of woman can't be found? Don't cause more trouble."
The third brother smiled and said, "Second brother, I'll just talk. If someone spends money to keep us, then even if the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou is beautiful, she will definitely have to be killed. I understand this principle."
"Just understand, people are going up the mountain, go and prepare."
Several people responded and prepared.
By the way, these four generals are not unknown. They are the four generals Deng Zhong, Xin Huan, Zhang Jie and Tao Rong who were later conquered by Wen Zhong in the original history.
Although the current situation has changed a lot due to the butterfly effect, the fate of these four little people has not been greatly affected, and they have become enemies in Huanghua Mountain.
This time they came to Jinjiling, but because someone paid money to them some time ago and asked them to help intercept and kill someone in Jinjiling.
Although the person who was to be intercepted was a special identity, the prince of Xibohou, the man gave too much money. In addition, the four generals and one of them had a total of the plan. As long as they killed the person and returned to Huanghua Mountain, Huanghua Mountain was within the rule of the Da Shang Mountain. Even if Xibohou was furious, he could not bypass the Da Shang level to attack them, so he agreed.
After collecting the money, they also came to Jinjiling to wait for several days according to the time provided by the person, but now they finally waited for the person.
Of course, Bo Yikao didn't know that someone was already ambushing him on Jinjiling.
After all, Ye Xiao's words just now were a bit stupid, and he didn't understand it for a while.
In addition, he has arrived at the gate of Xiqi. As the prince of Xibo, how could he have thought that someone would ambush him at his doorstep?
In this way, the group went to Jinjiling without any warning.
Speaking of the terrain of Jinjiling, it is quite steep.
If you want to pass Jinjiling, there is only one big road that can be taken, and it is actually very narrow. You can only pass through the carriage, and you can't even walk two carriages side by side.
It is precisely because of this that Kong Xuan was able to be a pass in the original history, because as long as he blocked the main road, the Xiqi army would have no place to circumnavigate.
And for this reason, if you ambush others in Jinjiling, it will be a perfect ambush.
So, when Bo Yikao and his group lined up in a long snake formation and went to Jinjiling, a cannon suddenly came from the forests on both sides of Jinjiling, and then a rain of arrows shot out from the forests on both sides. Because they were unprepared and the formation was very slender and pulled forward and backward, the Jizhou army, who was guarding each other, was instantly stunned.
