Chapter 362: The Private Soldiers of the Second Prince
Under the flickering firelight, the pursuers mounted their horses and headed towards the camp they mentioned.
The little girl handed the bow and arrow to the soldier beside her, quietly emerged from the bushes, and said without hesitation: "Let's go and take a look..."
The personal soldiers beside him obeyed subconsciously at first, and then reacted belatedly.
He paused for a moment, replaying General Meng's instructions in his mind...
Before leaving, the general said that the young lady's safety should be the most important thing.
Following these pursuers to their camp obviously does not meet this premise.
"That...Miss..."
Jiang An was so smart, how could he not guess what his personal soldiers were thinking at this moment?
She blinked her round eyes and said soothingly, "Don't worry, we'll just take a look from a distance and confirm the location."
"After all... we're already here~"
What a great 'I'm here now~'
Erlangzi's personal soldiers looked at each other and felt that what the young lady said made sense!
The torches in the hands of the pursuers in front formed a fire dragon in the winding path in the deep mountains, and Jiang An followed with his personal soldiers behind.
I saw these people turning back from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, walking to the left, and after about an hour, they stopped in a dense forest.
They moved away the dead trees and rocks that were used as camouflage, and suddenly a wide road appeared.
The little girl hiding not far away squinted her eyes and saw that the army could easily march in five or six rows on this road...
It is enough to show that there are quite a few soldiers hidden in this mountain.
After walking for about another hour...
The little girl started by taking one step at a time, but later she lay on the back of a soldier and played dead.
She muttered, "We've come so far, and the army hasn't even left the mountain yet. We have to make a fire and cook!"
Hearing this, a dozen of the guardsmen grinned and laughed silently.
"After all, they are hidden troops..."
"It's right under the noses of the National Protection Army, so we have to hide it more carefully."
Otherwise, this little bit of troops might be swallowed up by their prince before they can be used.
……
"Miss, we're here..."
"Ok?"
The little girl opened her sleepy eyes and wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand.
In the dim light, she saw the gate of the military camp and the sentries and guard posts on both sides...
The two deputies leading the group of pursuers showed a token to their brothers at the sentry post, and then the bows and spears aimed at them were put away.
Immediately afterwards, the pursuers carried their general's body into the camp.
The whole process took place without any sound. Even the soldiers guarding the camp and those returning did not communicate with each other verbally. They just relied on a token.
"They only recognize the token and not the person?"
If we want to go in and take a look, it will be difficult!
Listening to the young lady's mumblings, the guards widened their eyes, looking as if they had been deceived and aggrieved.
What did you say when you came!
Didn’t you say just take a look?
In response, the little girl looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but ignored their resentful looks.
"Go and look, there should be a patrolling sentry nearby..."
She patted the shoulder of the nearest personal soldier, her round eyes gleaming.
I only heard the young lady say: "Catch one and study it first!"
The bodyguards sounded aggrieved, but at the same time they responded very obediently.
After all... we are here~
Otherwise, they all came from the military camp~
The deployment of each military camp is based on the habits of the commander-in-chief. Although the number and location of secret sentries are different, the principles are ultimately the same.
The main focus should be on the deployment and surveillance of military camps!
Therefore, there must be secret sentries at necessary positions!
In less than an incense stick of time, two bodyguards returned with a man and a dog whose necks were broken.
The little girl waved her fat claws, and four of her personal soldiers stood up.
They stood in four directions, keeping watch for the young lady.
As for Jiang An, he directed the others...
Strip off the armor and uniform of this fresh corpse!
She wanted to study these armors and weapons to find out whose private soldiers these were.
If you tell her that the Concubine Dowager privately raises soldiers and horses, the little girl would never believe it even if you beat her to death.
An old lady who has lived in Huguo Temple all year round, even if she has some palace fighting skills from her previous generation, cannot raise private soldiers in the mountains thousands of miles away without help!
"cough…"
"Miss, how about you turn your back?"
If this is all stripped clean, it will look a bit ugly...
Jiang An tilted his head and thought for a while, "Okay then~"
She obediently turned her back and squatted there, "Hurry up!"
The guard rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't worry, Miss, it will be done soon!"
Hearing the sound of cloth tearing behind him, Jiang An smacked his lips.
Fortunately, this person is dead, otherwise I would have to witness seven or eight big men surrounding me and stripping me of my clothes.
It was indeed done immediately, and the next moment a piece of armor was thrown at her feet.
"Eh?"
The little girl lowered her head, picked up the armor and gestured with it.
Each army has special markings on its armor, symbolizing the army's majesty and momentum.
Just like the Black Armor King Army in the National Protection Army, which is represented by Tiger Head.
Soldiers below the rank of lieutenant general had tiger heads engraved on their shoulders, and lieutenant generals were distinguished by the tiger heads on their arm guards. Soldiers above the rank of lieutenant general, including several major generals, had tiger heads on their armors and cloaks.
On the shoulders of the armor in the little girl's hand are engraved Bixi.
Jiang An is very familiar with this thing!
A personal soldier came over and muttered, "Whose private soldier is this? Why does he have a turtle carved on his armor?"
Don’t you feel ashamed?
Or do you still think that the thousand-year-old turtle and the ten-thousand-year-old tortoise want to use this opportunity to wish that you and this army can live for a thousand or a hundred years? ?
Jiang An glanced at him and gave him a thumbs up, "You have a very rich imagination!"
"hey-hey…"
The guard smiled innocently and asked, "Miss, what kind of power is imagination?"
"Uh…"
The little girl was confused and even doubted herself. Did she say that?
"Oh, never mind!"
She pointed at the Bixi on the armor and said, "This thing is also called Baxia. It is the sixth of the nine sons of the dragon in legend. It looks like a turtle and likes to carry heavy things. Legend has it that it often carries things on its back when walking on the mountains and hills. It is the guardian beast of the gods!"
Of course, the above is what Hu Yan told her~
The armor she stole back from Peizhou that year also had such a totem engraved on it.
Unfortunately, she also thought it was a cuckold at that time~
Therefore, the private soldiers here should be raised by the second prince Jiang Yizhou.
As for why the Second Prince's private soldiers would work for the Concubine Dowager...
I'm afraid it can only be that the two of them reached a cooperation through some means.
The little girl fiddled with her fingers, explaining the relationship of interest between the two of them...
The Concubine Dowager tried to bring her to Kyoto several times in order to check and balance her father and make her the Empress Dowager, second only to the Emperor Nan Shang. The Second Prince raised private soldiers in order to obtain the throne of the Emperor.
It is obvious that their interests conflict with each other!
I just don't know who is playing whom now~
Or do they both think they are so smart that they can manipulate each other?
Jiang An squatted there, looking at the armor and the scattered military uniforms, and murmured: "The Second Prince's private soldiers..."
The Second Prince's Private Soldiers...
Tokens…
Ok? !
The little girl suddenly stood up and took off the cloth bag around her waist.
Throughout the whole process, the several personal soldiers beside him were in a state of confusion.
Until they saw with their own eyes that the young lady took out the whistle for commanding the secret guards from the small cloth bag... and the military token...
A military token that can mobilize 500,000 National Defense Army soldiers!
"I...um!"
The personal soldier who was about to scream was blocked in the mouth by his brothers on both sides, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
It seems like this little ancestor is carrying this life-threatening thing around all day long!
"Here it is~"
Jiang An took out a black token and saw that it was made of the same fine iron as the armor on these private soldiers.
The little girl shook the things in her hands and smiled happily, "We can get in~"
Bodyguard (numbed): Hehe…
Some people looked at her small cloth bag with curiosity, wondering if it was a treasure chest.
How come there is even the Second Prince’s token?
