Red House Shoufu

Chapter 287 Suspected Soldiers
Just as Lin Shu took a step, Zuo Lan grabbed his arm.

"Scholar Lin, please stay!"

Zuo Lan handed over a golden token in his hand, on which a golden dragon lay coiled, extremely majestic.

"The hunters of the Lin Clan's village are quite familiar with the terrain of Tianmen Mountain. According to the holy order, I will temporarily transfer Scholar Lin's farmer to lead the army and conquer the disobedient officials. I wonder if Scholar Lin is interested in seeing the relics of the former Ming Dynasty?"

Is this to give yourself credit?
Although Lin Shu specially reported the letter for this credit, Zuo Lan, the commander, did so, which made him a little suspicious.

Zuo Lan saw Lin Shu's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Scholar Lin's report today cannot be concealed from His Majesty, and this credit cannot be erased. I just want to confirm the credit of the scholar by doing this. That's all, save some people from gossiping."

This explanation sounds reasonable, but Lin Shu is still skeptical.But he wasn't entangled in these things, and nodded his head as a response.

The soldiers were extremely fast, and the two thousand light cavalry of the imperial mausoleum guards galloped towards Tianmen Mountain, and arrived at the foot of Tianmen Mountain just after noon.

The leader was Liao Yufeng, the commander of the Imperial Tomb Guards. He divided his troops directly at the mountain pass, and the brigade spread out to seal the exits. Then Lin Shu led the way with the remaining four 500 people and followed the path. Came to Lin Lian's hidden location.

Looking down the mountain from here, the general situation can be seen clearly.Nearly 200 people were carrying things from the cave one after another, and the boxes and bags were sent to the center of the valley one by one.

"Master Zuo, I will leave 100 people under your command. If there are remnants of the enemy fleeing later, please ask Master Zuo to stop them."

Liao Yufeng glanced at Lin Shu who was wearing the armor, frowned and said: "Scholar Lin stay here, writing and ink is no better than going to battle to kill the enemy, swords have no eyes, if you hurt Bachelor Lin, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty."

After saying that, he led people to touch down from the mountain. Lin Shu's face was ashen, and he silently looked at Liao Yufeng who was rushing down the mountain.

Zuo Lan leisurely said: "In the 31st year of Longsheng, Liao Yufeng commanded the envoy Rendu in the capital of Yunnan and was about to be knighted for suppressing the chieftain's rebellion. His father took part in one copy, and he has no title until now."

It turned out to be the reason!Lin Shu chuckled and didn't say anything else, but told all the Lin family to change into leather armor and stay vigilant at all times.

Just now he also saw that Liao Yufeng's command had no combat art, one word: reckless.The terrain in this mountain is complicated, and the surrounding areas have not been explored clearly. What if there are still ambushes hidden inside?Lin Shu, who is water-soluble and sinister, has seen it many times.

The Imperial Tomb Guard had already touched the valley, and under Liao Yufeng's order, arrows rained down like rain. After three consecutive rounds of throwing arrows, they directly killed them.

The enemies in a mess panicked, and the horses pulling the box neighed loudly. They were probably frightened or injured. They ran around in pain, and even turned over the bonfire used for heating.

Shouts for killing, calls for help, neighing of horses and bursts of thick smoke all startled the birds and beasts in the mountains.Suddenly Fuquan moved to Lin Shu's side, pointing to the northern mountain stream: "Master, the situation has changed, there seems to be people and horses moving in that area."

Fuquan's voice reminded Zuo Lan, who was watching the battle, that when he looked up, there was indeed a black line rapidly heading towards the valley amidst the white snow in the north.

"Damn it, why are there still people here!"

Zuo Lan was shocked, the only garrison of the imperial court nearby was the Imperial Tomb Guard, and the vast Yanshan Mountain was to the north, so this inexplicably appearing army must not be from the imperial court.

Lin Shu frowned and said, "There are a lot of people, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold back just relying on the current manpower."

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it. The Embroidered Clothes Guard has spent so much effort just for this relic of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how could it be possible to let Shui Rong run free for so long?"

Zuo Lan secretly scolded Liao Yufeng for being stupid. He said just now that he would bring more people and check around the valley first, but this person just didn't take it seriously because of his seniority.

Lin Shu looked at the remaining one hundred guards of the Imperial Mausoleum and the forty or so people under him, and then took a look at the surrounding terrain.

The enemy is outnumbered, and it is impossible to fight head-on.However, there is still a chance to procrastinate.He discussed with Zuo Lan for a while, and saw that Zuo Lan sent two embroidered guards to go down the mountain with tokens.

"For the next thing, I will leave it to Bachelor Lin. After the matter is completed, I will ask for credit for Bachelor Lin!"

……

To the north of Tianmen Valley, the valley is narrow and the cliffs are high, with steep cliffs on both sides.Because of the terrain, galloping more than 2000 people can only pull the team into a long line.

Horseshoes burst out, and the sound of fighting in the valley ahead made the leader anxious.

"Speed ​​up, His Highness's great cause cannot be lost!"

As soon as he gave the order, he heard a sudden rumble on the cliffs on both sides.A huge rock suddenly fell from the cliff and smashed hard into the marching team, cutting the long team in half.

Almost at the same moment, another big tree fell from above, and the already stunned team was divided into several sections again.

"Listen, people below, the Imperial Tomb Guards are here, and you're not going to surrender!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The echo in the valley was too loud, and it was impossible to tell how many people were on the other side.The interrupted team was even more chaotic, and the frightened horses kept trampling on their own people, and the riders couldn't stop.

The cliff is so steep that people below cannot go up, and those above cannot come down.However, the people below were afraid that the Imperial Tomb Guards were ambushing at the exit ahead, so they dared not move forward, and they were also afraid that the people on the cliff would continue to throw rocks and giant trees, so they inevitably flinched in their hearts.

But he was also afraid of the prince's means, so he gritted his teeth and ordered the rocks to be removed, wanting to pass through this place quickly.Just after pushing away the giant rock and tree, before he had moved forward a few steps, another boulder fell from above and hit the front of the team.

But I don't know if the people on the cliff were not accurate enough or what happened, but no one was hurt.So the team had to stop again, push away the rocks and move on.

But just after the order to march, another rock fell in front of them, and the team had to stop again...

Just like this, you push the mountain rocks and giant trees down, and I move away to hurry, stop and go, and I can't reach the exit of the valley too late.

Lin Shu looked at the distance of less than [-] steps ahead, and felt a little anxious.He and Zuo Lan looked at each other, and ordered the soldiers to throw down all the remaining rocks and giant trees.

There was a rumble on the cliff, and the valley was almost completely blocked at the end.Lin Shu ordered the team to quickly enter the valley in a low voice, while he stayed where he was and hung a piece of white cloth with writing on a conspicuous branch.

The wind blows through the branches, and the white cloth unfurls in the wind.The big blood-red characters on it are extremely conspicuous: "Wei Jing of the imperial mausoleum waits for you and other rebellious officials and thieves to enter the valley to die!"
