"However, those barbarian people are ferocious by nature. Your Highness is worth a thousand dollars. If something happens, this..." Mo Jiang was worried, especially after seeing the tragic scene at the scene. It doesn't matter to them people, but if something happens to the fourteenth prince, none of the hundreds of them can escape, and maybe their family members will be affected.
Ming Yu thought for a while, shook his head, and said with relief: "We may not be able to meet each other, even if we do, so what. I heard that such small groups of enemies are only a few dozen or so at most. There are at least five hundred guards, so it is impossible to be afraid of such barbarians, right?"
Mo Jiang's face turned red when he said this. To be honest, he was really worried about this. I heard that although the number of barbarians who invaded was small, they were all ruthless and merciless. If they matched up, these guards from the capital who had never seen real blood in battle might not be able to do anything.
"Your Highness..."
Mo Jiang was still waiting to persuade, but Ming Yu waved his hand, "Needless to say, Commander Mo will lead the way, let's go to the village first."
Mo Jiang originally intended to persuade the fourteenth prince not to go, but now that he heard Ming Yu's dismissive words, he thought about it and did not stop him. Maybe it's not a bad thing to let him go and see it for himself. Maybe the fourteenth prince can change his mind after seeing it
Thinking of that cruel scene, Mo Jiang pursed his lips tightly, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. Although everyone in the capital rumored that the barbarians were cruel and tyrannical, the descriptions in words were too pale, and no one saw the real truth. Naturally, he couldn't imagine such a situation, but the scene he saw, I'm afraid he would never want to see it again in this life. No wonder the scouts turned pale when they came back to report. Even if it was him, he saw it for the first time At that time, my heart was overwhelmed.
Thinking of this, Mo Jiang quickly ordered dozens of personal guards to guard him, while he himself stepped forward to lead the way.
The village was some distance away, and Ming Yu and the others walked for a stick of incense before arriving at their destination. At first glance, the village was in dilapidated condition, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Ming Yu frowned, lifted his foot and walked inside.
"Your Highness!" Mo Jiang yelled, seeing Ming Yu looking over, he reminded: "Your Highness really wants to go in, it's best to be prepared."
Mingyu was silent, closed her eyes, no matter how bad it was, so what? He clenched his fists and walked in resolutely.
3. Chapter 3
Although he had already made psychological preparations, Ming Yu was still shocked when he saw the scene in the village. What kind of purgatory is this.
There was blood everywhere, corpses scattered all over the place, no matter whether it was an old man in his 70s or 80s or a child of two or three years old, none of them escaped.
It had been several days, the blood had dried up and turned black, and the corpse had rotted and smelled. A few vultures hovered in the sky, staring at the corpse on the ground.
Ming Yu's eyes were red. For the first time in his life, he felt the anger overflowing his chest. These people are not human at all, worse than animals. He clenched his fist tightly, and his nails had dug deeply into his palm, but he didn't feel the pain he should have. He took a deep breath, looked up at the gloomy sky, it was slightly heavy, and he couldn't breathe.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Mo Jiang couldn't bear to see Ming Yu like this. The fourteenth prince, the pampered son who has been staying in the palace all this time, has ever seen such a bloody scene? He really shouldn't have let him come here, Mo Jiang felt a little regretful.
After getting along with the Fourteenth Prince for a long time, I also understand that this white, fat and soft bun-like person is actually the most soft-hearted. Although he seems to be ignorant of many things, once he understands it, he can infer other things from one instance, and he is much smarter than ordinary people. I don't know why people say that the Fourteenth Prince is a fool
To be honest, Ming Yu grew up in the stable environment of the later generations without any disturbances since he was a child, and he has never seen such a scene even if he killed a chicken, at most, he has seen this kind of scene in movies and TV dramas. However, everyone knows that those are all fake, but the things in front of you are real, the smell of blood and rancidity around the tip of your nose, and the black and red color in your eyes, all of these are real.
Only then did Ming Yu come back to his senses, and shook his head with a pale face, "Commander Mo, let someone restrain them." It's not a solution to leave them alone. resting place.
Mo Jiang agreed to come down, Ming Yu couldn't stay any longer at this time, turned around and went back to the entrance of the village, and was about to go back to the carriage to calm down, when he saw smoke and dust billowing not far away.
Mo Jiang also saw it, there were dozens of horsemen coming towards this side, his heart was raised, it is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend, if the barbarians who killed the villagers came back, what would happen it is good
"Your Highness, I don't know if these people are friends or foes. I will protect you and leave as soon as possible." Mo Jiang said hurriedly. They came to protect only a few dozen people this time. If they collide, they may not be able to protect the fourteenth prince. comprehensive.
Ming Yu also thought of Mo Jiang's worries. He had already seen the ferocity of the barbarians, so he might not be their opponent. However, these people came too fast, they were just small figures in the smoke and dust, as if they had already arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
It was too late, Mo Jiang yelled: "Everyone guards! Be alert!"
As soon as the words fell, the guards surrounded Ming Yu to protect him. Ming Yu was a little speechless, wouldn't he be a living target in this battle? The enemy knows at a glance that important people must be targeted!
Ming Yu didn't have time to say anything, dozens of riders had already surrounded him, Ming Yu could see clearly that these people were dressed in red and silver armor, and they all had a strong killing spirit.
"Who are you?" The leading young general who came here held the horsewhip in his hand, pointed at Ming Yu and the others and asked warily.
When Mo Jiang saw the person coming, he breathed a sigh of relief. He took two steps forward and asked, "Is the person here a red-robed cavalry?"
As soon as he said this, the guards around were surprised. You look at me and I look at you. What did their commander say? Red Robe Army? Are they really the Red Robe Army? Everyone's eyes were shining with admiration, Ming Yu thought that if they didn't think they had a mission, they would have rushed to sign like fans, right? I really didn't expect that just a name can make people excited like this.
Ming Yu looked at Mo Jiang. Along the way, he heard from Mo Jiang that the most powerful army in Liangzhou was the red-robed iron cavalry led by General Xie Yixiu. This army of only 5,000 people is invincible, and it is the only existence that can make the enemy frightened and flee. If it weren't for this iron cavalry, the Yi people would have been even more unscrupulous, and the current Liangzhou City would have fallen long ago.
It is precisely because of this that the Red Robe Army is famous far and wide, and everyone knows it, and the leader of this army, Xie Yixiu, is even a legendary figure. He is a general admired by everyone in the Great Yan Kingdom, and even a general named by the emperor himself, which shows his ability and honor.
At this time, it seems that the mental outlook of the red-robed army is indeed different. Look at the red-robed army who is still straight and full of murderous spirit, and look at the trembling calves around him. Personal guard, Ming Yu really didn't see it. These people are still the elite of the guards, they were selected after thousands of selections. In such a comparison, they are really more popular than others.
The leading young general looked down at them, and asked again, "Who are you? Why are you here?" This time, his tone was much better.
Mo Jiang glanced at Ming Yu, saw him nodded slightly, and then clasped his fists in a fellowship ceremony, "I am the commander of the left guard of the imperial guards in the capital, Mo Jiang. Today I will escort His Royal Highness Duan Wang to the fief Liangzhou City, pass by here and take a look.”
"Prince Duan?" The leading young general thought for a while, and then suddenly realized that a few days ago, someone said that there was indeed a prince who was entrusted to Liangzhou. From what they said, the fourteenth prince is a fool, but he was right. If he wasn't stupid, who would want Liangzhou to be a fief? He looked around and saw that his eyes were locked on Ming Yu, with some doubts, so this is the one
"You mean the fourteenth prince?"
Mo Jiang nodded, "That's right." After speaking, he also showed his ID card.
The leading young general carefully looked at the identity card, then put down his guard, jumped off the horse, and bowed to Ming Yu with clasped fists, "His Royal Highness Wan An, Xia Ji You, is General Xie's personal soldier. I am wearing armor, so it is inconvenient to give a full salute. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Ming Yu smiled and waved his hands. He was already impatient with kneeling and prostrating, so it was better this way, "You don't need to be too polite, what are you doing here?"
The young general Ji You didn't expect Ming Yu to be so talkative, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he said the purpose of coming here.
It turned out that they had received news that a small group of barbarians had invaded and had already looted and slaughtered several villages. They tracked it all the way, and then they came here. He pouted bitterly, "Damn, these beasts, I caught them, I had to skin them! Break their bones! Drink their blood!"
He spoke out what was in everyone's heart. Indeed, those frenzied people would not be able to forgive their hatred even if they were frustrated.
Ming Yu heard that several villages had been slaughtered like this, and she was also anxious, fearing that the delay would cause even greater losses. Hastily said: "Then why don't you hurry up and follow up, otherwise more people will suffer if you are late."
Ji You was not necessarily worried, and smiled confidently: "His Royal Highness, there is no need to worry too much. Our general has already anticipated the possible route of these people, and has already divided up the troops to chase and intercept them. None of these beasts will be able to escape. .”
