Chapter 217 Old Friends

Pei Zhiqi only took a look when he got out of the carriage, and without hesitation, he quickly took out the soft armor from the carriage and put it on.

Li Xiaodao saw that Xianggong had a solemn expression, so he quickly helped him fasten the soft armor, and then handed him the sword.

Judging from the voices coming from the front of the team, it was really a big trouble this time.

"Sister!" Seeing Pei Zhiqi, who was fully dressed, getting ready to mount, Li Xiaodao couldn't help calling him, but didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, my lady will wait in the carriage for a while, and don't get out of the carriage until I come back."

"Okay!" Li Xiaodao nodded.

After giving these instructions, Pei Zhiqi got on his horse sideways, shook the reins lightly, and headed towards the front of the team.

*

"I have told you, Vice General Shi, that our team is not bandits of unknown origin. Can bandits wear military uniforms, ride military horses, and hang military flags!?"

When Pei Zhiqi drove his horse to the front of the team, he saw Liu Xin angrily yelling at a person on the opposite side.

Looking up, the Lieutenant General Shi whom Liu Xin was talking about had fierce features and a savage face, leading a hundred cavalrymen and hundreds of infantrymen, standing in front of the team entering Beijing.

Judging by the costumes and flags, this army should be the guards of the capital, and it is impossible to dispatch without the dispatch of the Ministry of War.But the Ministry of War...

The Minister of the Ministry of War is the grandfather of Concubine Yan, so it is absolutely impossible for this team to patrol here by accident today.

It seems that this time may not be good.

While observing the situation in silence, Pei Zhiqi had already started to think about countermeasures, as well as the best and worst endings of the day.

Compared with Lieutenant General Shi's men and horses, the cavalry guards of the entering Beijing team at this moment are like the mantis arms in the idiom "mantis arm is like a cart".

As expected, Liu Xin's defense not only failed to make Vice Admiral Shi give way smoothly, but instead caused him to raise his head and laugh out loud. The laughter echoed in this suburban field not far from the capital, presumptuous and arrogant.

After laughing, he pointed at Liu Xin and cursed loudly: "You bastard with half of your face covered! What kind of identity are you? Any position in the army? How dare you be so rude to this lieutenant general!"

"I don't have a position in the army, but as I said just now, I was entrusted by Gao Meng Gao Zongbing to escort Mrs. Pei from Fuguo Prince's Mansion back home as a guide. Gao Zongbing's letter has been shown to you , why not let it go!"

Vice-General Shi said disdainfully after hearing the words: "Letters can be forged, military flags and military uniforms can be snatched, who knows if what you say is true or false! I see that everyone in your team has evil eyes, and they are not good people at first glance. Come on!" Get them all quickly! Whether they are bandits or not will only be known after they are taken to prison for interrogation!"

I'm afraid that if they don't make it to the prison, the Beijing team will disappear from this world on the way.

Pei Zhiqi didn't go directly to the front of the line, he drove his horse for a few steps as if thinking of something, then suddenly dismounted again, and walked lightly towards the carriage car of Mrs. Pei and his father and mother.

After Deputy General Shi finished speaking and took down the entire team, Mrs. Pei lifted the back curtain and was about to get out of the car to explain.

Pei Zhiqi arrived in time, shook his head, and stopped her.

In the current situation, it is impossible to get out of the fight. If you want to escape, it is better to save time with all the people in the carriage.

Although we didn't get along for a long time, Mrs. Pei also heard about her son's deeds when the Japanese pirates invaded the provincial capital from his mouth. There must be a reason for not letting her get out of the carriage, so she was not persistent, sat down in the carriage again, and put the curtain back on. put it down.

Pei Zhiqi quickly flew onto the horse again.

"I'll see who would dare! In the carriage is Mrs. Pei from Prince Fuguo's residence. You have eaten the heart of a bear!"

When Liu Xin shouted, the soldiers on the other side who were ordered to act hesitated for a moment. The little time of hesitation gave Pei Zhiqi time to prevent Mrs. Pei from getting off the carriage, and to get back on the horse and walk to the front of the team.

"What are you waiting for! Hurry up..."

Seeing the soldiers being scolded by Liu Xin, Deputy General Shi hesitated. He was about to urge him, but when he saw Pei Zhiqi who had come to the front of the line, he immediately fell silent and showed a look of shock.

so similar!
He had served as the deputy general of the guard for a long time in the capital, so he had naturally seen the face of Prince Fuguo—that is, Prince Rong Zhucheng.

The young man who slowly stepped forward had almost the same appearance as the prince when he was young.

Thinking of Prince Rong Zhucheng, Deputy General Shi couldn't help trembling.

The prince, Zhu Cheng, was ruthless and experienced. The little emperor had only his help in the court, and he narrowly defeated King Jin with one trick, and successfully sat on the throne.

Thinking back when the late emperor passed away, the night was full of wind and rain, and the palace also experienced sudden changes. If Zhu Cheng hadn’t claimed that he had deployed soldiers and horses inside and outside the palace early with the secret order of the late emperor, King Jin would be on the throne now, not this little boy. Emperor.

Arresting this team today is tantamount to turning against Zhu Cheng. If King Jin loses in the next year, then he...

Deputy General Shi was on the horse, and after swallowing half of his words, he remained silent, his eyes fixed on Pei Zhiqi.

Pei Zhiqi didn't reveal his identity, and he didn't seem to care about Vice Admiral Shi's strange expression. He only made eye contact with Liu Xin, as if he was communicating.

Hey!How can a big man be hesitant to act like a girl!Now that he has taken refuge in the Minister of the Ministry of War, why are he afraid of offending Zhu Cheng!
Although the little emperor is sitting on the throne now, he doesn't have much real power in his hands. He can't help the deep-rooted King Jin's power, and the only military power is still in Zhu Cheng's hands.

In the spring of next year, once the war breaks out, no matter whether it is the little emperor or the prince Zhucheng, it will be more or less ominous.

Afraid of what he will do!

Vice-General Shi's heart was broken, and he made up his mind. He pointed his spear at Liu Xin and Pei Zhiqi and shouted loudly: "This thief must have blocked the gun with Prince Fuguo's mansion! I don't believe his nonsense! Go to me! Catch every one of them. Get up! Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be executed!"

The soldiers stopped hesitating when they heard the order, and quickly stepped forward to encircle the team entering Beijing.

Pei Zhiqi and Liu Xin glanced at each other, and were about to break out and retreat, when they suddenly saw dust and smoke rising not far from Lieutenant General Shi, the sound of horseshoes resounding in the mountains, and a group of cavalry in golden armor appeared.

The leading general, wearing red tassels on his head, wearing armor and holding a long spear, rode forward and raised his arms as a gesture. The team immediately divided into left and right teams and immediately made dumplings for Deputy General Shi's men and horses.

According to Pei Zhiqi's visual inspection, there were at least cavalrymen surrounding Deputy General Shi, and he looked at Liu Xin with some doubts.

The cavalry is the elite of the soldiers, five hundred cavalry cannot be mobilized casually, and the uniforms of these soldiers are not ordinary cavalry, but... from the imperial city.

Seeing that the rescuers finally came, Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly: "Brother Zheng! You've come! Why is there such a beautiful scenery on the road, and it's so late! It really scares me to death!"

Liu Xin looked familiar, but the general who came didn't seem to appreciate it. Ignoring Liu Xin's warm greeting, he only faced Lieutenant General Shi, took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, raised his hands high, and said coldly: "I am forbidden!" Zheng Ji, Colonel of the Guards, was ordered by the emperor to respond to the request of Princess Yingshan to protect the family of Prince Fuguo's mansion from entering the capital! Idle people, please avoid it yourself!"
