Concubine Gaomen (75)

The horse was a rare good horse. Lin Yutong rode out of the Royal Forest Army's station on the horse. Not far from the station, there was a dark shadow. Needless to say, he knew that it was the person brought by Kou Huai. Such a blind man, the other party

There was no torch. It just stood so quietly. Looking from a distance, it was impossible to tell how many people had been brought. But no matter how many people there were, they could stand like this without making any noise or moving, knowing that they

He must be a well-trained soldier.

Lin Yutong looked at them, didn't ask any questions, and just rode past these people.

Then, the sound of horses being mounted neatly was heard. Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves behind them became even louder.

Lin Yutong looked at Jiang Zhong, who was riding with her, and asked loudly: "General Jiang, you are also a veteran in the army. To test you, just listen to the sound of horse hooves and don't look back. Can you tell that this is

How many horses?"

Kou Zhun was half a horse's head behind Lin Yutong and Jiang Zhong. Hearing what sounded like a joke, Kou Zhun couldn't help but look at Lin Yutong again. At this moment, he really couldn't tell whether this person had noticed something or not.

Just a random question by coincidence? But in the night, it was impossible to see the expression on Lin Yutong's face clearly, and he had no way of judging.

When Jiang Zhong was asked by Lin Yutong, he felt very beautiful. It was a rare opportunity to show off his abilities in front of the beautiful princess. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice, showing a bit of high-spirited confidence, "Can this be done?

It's difficult for me, Old Jiang. Your Highness, you are too underestimated. Go to the Royal Forest Army and find out what I did in the first place, Old Jiang. I raised all the horses in this army. You don't have to listen to the sound of such a horse running.

They didn't move just now, they only glanced at them from the side, and I knew that the number of these horses was around fifty."

Fifty horses, of course, are equipped with fifty men. All of them are good soldiers of the Imperial Guard. This does not include the manpower that may appear in front of them to intercept and ambush.

Lin Yutong was calculating in his heart, but he said with a smile: "Are you so sure? If what you say is not accurate, I think you should go back to your old profession and go back to raising horses."

Jiang Zhong immediately became anxious when he heard this: "Your Highness! There is absolutely no doubt about this. Lao Jiang, my signboard is made of gold." As he said that, he turned to look at Kou Zhun, "General Kou, please tell me something, I, Lao Jiang, said it."

right?"

Kou Zhun gritted his teeth and answered simply: "Yes!" Who knew that such a Cheng Yaojin would appear on the way. Something bad will happen to this person today.

Jiang Li immediately shouted: "Did you hear that? General Kou admitted this himself."

Lin Yutong laughed: "I don't want you to come down from the stage, so why do you take it seriously?" He said, raising his whip and said, "Don't forget your business, I asked you to lead the way. You go ahead, Kou and I will

The general is following you."

Jiang Zhong held the horse's reins in one hand and the horse in the other, and ran to the front first, "Your Highness, you have to follow closely."

Lin Yutong deliberately took a step slowly. It was absolutely impossible for Kou Zhun to be one step behind. He didn't dare to hand over his back to this guy. He walked like this for about half an hour when he saw Jiang Zhong suddenly turning towards the roadside. If it hadn't been for him

Going first, she would never have thought that there was a trail there. She lagged a step behind and said to Kou Zhun: "This road is too narrow. You go in front. I saw how scary this road is."

Kou Zhun felt that Lin Yutong seemed a little defensive about him, so he said, "How about we still go through the official route?"

Lin Yutong raised his whip and slapped Kou Zhun's horse on the butt: "Isn't the palace anxious? Let's go, you go in front and you two open the way, I can feel more at ease."

Kou Zhun's horse neighed under Lin Yutong's whip, and finally ran towards the trail. Lin Yutong narrowed his eyes before riding the horse and following Kou Zhun. As for the men and horses following closely behind him, none of them were Kou Zhun's.

Orders cannot be given casually.

One side of the trail is a forest, and the other side is a small river. There is a thin layer of ice on the river.

Jiang Zhong shouted: "You can't ride side by side, be careful if you fall into the river." The ice on the river cannot bear the weight of one person and one horse. It would be really troublesome to fall at this time of year.

Lin Yutong looked back and saw that the fifty men and horses formed a line. In this way, the deterrent effect formed was not a concern at all. She looked forward and wondered whether Jiang Zhong had seen it.

What, did he deliberately lead people to this road, or was it really just a coincidence? Lin Yutong didn't have time to tell.

Kou Zhun looked back and forth and pursed his lips tightly. The current situation was not good for him. He was sandwiched between Jiang Zhong and Lin Yutong, completely separated from the people behind him. This made him a little anxious.

The uneasiness became more intense.

The wind howled at night, causing pain on people's faces. After turning two corners, the wind blew into their faces. Lin Yutong felt happy. Although she was walking against the wind, it was not without its benefits. She held her hand tightly

Take a handful of medicinal powder and spread it slightly. The wind will blow the powder back. Although this does not guarantee that everyone will inhale the medicinal powder, if someone inhales it, it will definitely be able to get rid of it. Now, the only way is

Eliminate one and count as one.

Thinking like this, she felt a little relieved. At this time, she heard the sound of birds flapping their wings and flying from the forest on one side. Followed by the cry of the old bird, each one became more and more shrill.

"Uu——"

"Uu——"

In the front, Jiang Zhong and Kou Zhun reined in their horses at the same time, looking from left to right.

The birds in the forest were frightened for no reason. This situation was obviously wrong.

Lin Yutong calmed down the horse and then asked: "What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

Kou Zhun turned his head and said: "Your Highness, listen to this cry... it is really unlucky!"

There is a common saying among the people: If the old owl passes over its head, there will be disaster. Therefore, hearing the crow crow is an unlucky sign. Kou must have wanted to stop himself and not let himself continue on this path.

Lin Yutong raised his voice and asked forward: "General Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Zhong chuckled: "I don't know about others. Anyway, those of us who have been on the battlefield are actually not that taboo about these things. The bird started up, it seemed like there was someone in the forest. We passed by the roadside, so

There are many people, and the sound of horse hooves is loud, so why didn’t the birds startle just now?”

This is what Lin Yutong was thinking. The cry of the old bird was too much of a coincidence.

As for whether it was auspicious or unlucky, she never cared about it.

Seeing that Kou Zhun was still talking, Lin Yutong smiled and said: "General Kou doesn't know something. In the eyes of others, this old bird is an unlucky mourning bird. But in my opinion, it is a rare kind and kind bird. The crow feeds back.

You must know this. But a crow has only one mate in its life. Do you know this? This is a very spiritual bird, and its wisdom is no less than that of a seven-year-old child. What is unlucky? It's all nonsense! Let's go!

Commander Kou."

Jiang Zhong glanced at Kou Zhun and interjected: "According to what His Highness said, from now on this boudoir girl should embroider crows at home instead of embroidering mandarin ducks."

As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Yutong found it funny, but also the fifty people following him couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Lin Yutong didn't feel dissatisfied, and patiently explained: "That's how it should be. The mandarin ducks look happy, and they always appear in pairs, but this just shows that they are cool. When their spouse dies, they immediately marry another one.

New love. This thing is really not a thing. But I am very helpless. These people only like good-looking things. Who is called a crow and no one is as cute as a mandarin duck."

When everyone heard this, it seemed that this statement really made sense. People are all unpredictable, and many people have lost their wives and husbands. It makes no sense that a mandarin duck would not have such accidents. I am afraid that there will be more accidents.

In this way, it is indeed wrong to always come in pairs.

The atmosphere suddenly became less tense than before and became more lively.

Lin Yutong shouted to Jiang Zhong: "Just move forward. No matter what happens, I will be responsible for it."

"Okay!" Jiang Zhong responded and heard the sound of his horse moving forward.

Kou Zhun glanced at Jiang Zhong who was walking away, then looked back at Lin Yutong. Although he couldn't see Lin Yutong's expression clearly, he could still see her determination from Lin Yutong's shining eyes. He glanced at the forest beside him and said,

The horse continued to follow Jiang Zhong.

Lin Yutong couldn't help but smile when he heard that the forest had calmed down. He thought he was a fool. He didn't even know how to do the whole show. This old bird flew really fast. Now he couldn't even scream.

However, the hidden man's vocal skills are quite good. He can imitate the cries of the old rook.

After walking along this path for more than half an hour, Jiang Zhong stopped.

Kou Zhun stopped next to Jiang Zhong and asked coolly: "General Jiang, why don't you leave?"

Jiang Zhong looked both ways. On one side, the road passed through several villages, and on the other side, it passed through barren mountains and dense forests. He couldn't make up his mind as to where to go. Seeing Lin Yutong also stopped, he divided the two roads.

They all said it again, "Your Highness, let's walk through the village. The road over there is easier."

Lin Yutong took a deep breath and suddenly asked Jiang Zhong: "We have chosen an easy road. Is this road really easy?"

Jiang Zhong looked at Lin Yutong in surprise. There was something behind his words. He took a deep breath. He just heard the cry of the old bird at the edge of the forest, and he had an ominous premonition. This was not because of the old bird, but because he finally had a vague feeling.

When it comes to a crisis, if there is really a conspiracy involved, then people will never give up easily. Whichever way they go, it actually doesn’t matter. If something really happens, staying away from crowded places can reduce unnecessary casualties. He feels

, he understood the subtext of the other party. But on the other side was the dense forest leaning against Yunshan!

Jiang Zhong muttered a curse, knowing that there is nothing so beautiful in this world. He thought he could get a little closer to the beautiful princess, but now that he thinks about it, it was a trap from beginning to end.

"Let's go." Lin Yutong pointed the way, "We have dozens of horses passing by the gate of the house, and we have to make people's chickens and dogs upset. It's better to stay far away."

Jiang Zhong glared at Lin Yutong secretly. This woman is really brave! There are fifty masters following her, but he only has two of them. He really thinks he has the courage of ten thousand men!

"Let's go!" He complained in his heart, but he was not willing to give in. A woman has such courage, she is afraid of a ball!

Kou Zhun seemed not to hear what the two of them were saying, and followed closely behind Jiang Zhong. The horse galloped past, and after walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, he heard a "pop" behind him, and the corners of Lin Yutong's mouth raised slightly.

This is because the medicine just took effect and someone fell off the horse.

Immediately afterwards, a commotion broke out behind him. Kou Zhun turned around and walked back. He looked around warily and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Yutong vaguely heard someone say: "...I don't know what happened? It fell suddenly."

Jiang Zhong glanced back and asked Lin Yutong: "What's going on? Someone is ambushing you here?" But this was obviously not a good place for an ambush.

Lin Yutong stopped being verbose this time and whipped a few times: "Let's go quickly! Why are you lingering here?"

Jiang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and looked back as he walked. In the blink of an eye, the people behind him turned into black shadows in the distance. He must be trying to get rid of each other. "It's a dense forest further ahead," he reminded.

Lin Yutong rode a few steps forward, "Is there another way here?"

Jiang Zhong looked around: "Yes! But horses can't pass other roads."

Lin Yutong looked back and jumped off the horse: "Let the horse go, let's take the path."
