Chapter 1144 Oolong Incident
Sun Qi acted like a superior, "I asked you to deliver those herbs to Gan Tang, do you understand?"
Yun Zheng was slightly stunned, then nodded repeatedly: "I understand! I happened to meet Master Sun, and Master Sun learned that there were some medicinal herbs in my car, so he persuaded me to help the court and donate these herbs to the army..."
This birdman, doesn't he just want to get some credit for himself?
To be exact, the main credit goes to him!
After all, it was he who "convinced" himself!
Delivering the herbs yourself is just a small achievement!
"Not bad!"
Sun Qi was very satisfied with Yun Zheng's answer, and he said arrogantly: "Don't worry, if you follow me, you will definitely get some benefits!"
"That's it, that's it!"
Yun Zheng nodded repeatedly, raised his glass and said, "I'll toast to Master Sun again! I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng drank the wine in the glass.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng and Miao Yin repeatedly toasted Sun Qi.
After a while, Sun Qi became a little drunk.
Yun Zheng asked a few questions casually and unexpectedly gained some information.
Because he had issued an anti-rebellion manifesto a few days ago, Minzhou was facing a formidable enemy. Tian Hong received an order from the Ministry of War to urgently withdraw the troops and all 9,000 troops originally stationed in three places back to Gantang.
The court's idea was very simple. If Yun Zheng wanted to attack Minzhou, it would be impossible to stop him with the limited troops in Minzhou.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to concentrate troops in Gan Tang and defend it relying on the tall city walls of Gan Tang.
The imperial court never thought of using Gan Tang's troops to defeat Yun Zheng. They only wanted to delay Yun Zheng as much as possible and disperse Yun Zheng's troops, so as to reduce the pressure on the front line of Juzhou.
But a few days ago they received a document sent by the imperial court saying that Yun Zheng might not dare to raise an army, but they still had to prepare for defense.
Sun Qi came to Gaoguan to deliver a message to the prefect of Gaoguan, and also to test the prefect of Gaoguan on behalf of his father to see whether the prefect of Gaoguan was loyal to the court, so as to prevent the prefect of Gaoguan from opening the city and surrendering as soon as Yun Zheng attacked.
After finding out the situation, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh secretly.
There is nothing wrong with this arrangement!
Now is a perfect opportunity for me to catch all those people in one fell swoop!
It’s just that Sun Ji’s idea is a bit naive.
Gaoguan has only a few county soldiers, and the city wall of Gaoguan is not very high. If he launches a large-scale attack on Minzhou, what will the governor of Gaoguan use to defend it?
……
The next morning, Sun Qi came over.
Sun Qi was still afraid that Yun Zheng was fooling around, so he wanted to see the medicinal herbs that Yun Zheng and his friends had.
Yun Zheng was not afraid and asked someone to open a few sacks of medicinal herbs for Sun Qi to see.
After confirming that Yun Zheng and his companions were indeed carrying medicinal herbs, Sun Qi immediately felt relieved and said with a smile, "Then I will go ahead and you can just deliver the herbs to the Sun Mansion! You can just find a soldier in Gan Tang to find out the location of the Sun Mansion!"
"Uh-huh!"
Yunzheng nodded repeatedly.
He originally wanted to ask Sun Qi to get him an exemption warrant, but thinking that Sun Qi did not have the power, he gave up the idea.
It would not be good if it aroused Sun Qi's suspicion.
After parting with Sun Qi, Yun Zheng and his friends also started on their journey.
Along the way, he kept talking about teaching Sun Qi a lesson, and also complained that Yun Zheng had the potential to be a lackey.
He was a prince who was feared by the whole world, but when it came to pleasing Sun Qi, a dandy boy, he used all sorts of tricks.
The flattery made her blush for Yun Zheng.
Even if he was not a prince, with his potential to be a lackey, he would probably be able to do well.
Yun Zheng didn't care about Miaoyin's complaints.
Whether it's spending money or flattering others, it's better than exposing their identities and ruining future things, right?
Besides, it’s not like they didn’t benefit from it.
Gan Tang’s inspection is definitely much stricter than Gaoguancheng’s!
If you enter the city under the pretext of delivering medicinal herbs to Sun Qi, you should not be checked too carefully.
"Master!"
While the two were talking, a guard dressed as a guard came up on horseback and reported: "There's someone following us, and it looks like he has some plans."
"Several people?"
Yun Zheng lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and asked.
"Two people!"
The guard replied: "They are sneaking around, hanging behind our team. They must be monitoring where we are going!"
Is this under surveillance?
Yunzheng thought silently.
They shouldn't have revealed any flaws, right?
It wouldn’t be discovered by Tian Hong’s people so quickly, right?
"Could it be Sun Qi's people?"
Miaoyin reminded from the side.
Sun Qi is no pushover either.
Maybe Sun Qi saw that Yun Zheng was generous and had the medicinal herbs he wanted, so he wanted to kill and rob him?
"This... is possible!"
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and ordered, "Find an opportunity to catch the person who is following us and interrogate him, and everything will be clear! Be careful, don't make too much noise!"
"Yes!"
The Guards immediately took the order and left.
Soon, the Guards made their arrangements.
Their team continued to move forward, but when they passed a small forest, a few people quietly left the team.
Just as the two followers were stealthily passing through the grove, the guards who had been lying in ambush quickly pounced on them.
However, these two people are obviously not vegetarians.
The moment they pounced, the two men reacted quickly and counterattacked them.
But Yun Zheng's personal guards were numerous and powerful after all. After a few exchanges of blows, the two men were subdued by the personal guards.
Just as the two were about to speak, they were covered with their mouths by the guards and dragged into the woods.
Soon, the Royal Guards came to report with a helpless look: "Boss, we have found out clearly that we are one of them..."
"what?"
Yun Zheng and Miao Yin were both speechless.
"what happened?"
Yun Zheng asked without knowing the reason.
The Royal Guard grinned. "They are new members of the Ghost Eighteen Riders. They were ordered to follow us for the purpose of training! They were caught by our people, and now they will be punished..."
Yun Zheng laughed dumbly.
So that’s how it is!
You know what, this is also a way to train soldiers.
As one of the Eighteen Ghost Riders, if you can't even master tracking and hiding, then you shouldn't be a member of the Eighteen Ghost Riders.
"Since they want to train their troops, let's train them too!"
Yun Zheng smiled: "Give orders, form a group of five people, take turns to stand guard behind the team, and if anyone from the Eighteen Ghost Riders is caught, each person will be rewarded five taels of silver!"
Anyway, it’s boring to just rush along like this, so let his guards have a fight with the Eighteen Ghost Riders!
"Yes!"
The guards instantly became alert.
After the guards left, Miaoyin couldn't help but laugh, "They are really good! They are even using us as a training ground."
"This is a good thing!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "Their newcomers do need more training. My personal guards are also quite strong. It will be beneficial for both of them to fight against each other."
The veteran members of the Ghost Eighteen Riders have all been tempered in blood and fire, and have all crawled out of a pile of the dead.
There is no need to doubt the strength of those veteran team members.
But these new team members have only joined the team not long ago, and their abilities are definitely not as good as those of the old team members.
It is definitely a good thing that Youjiu seizes every opportunity to train their consciousness.
