Chapter 9, Pursuit

The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty had a system of twelve supervisors, the two most important supervisors were the Sili Supervisor and the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Although the grades were not high, their real power was amazing. The Sili Supervisor approved the cabinet tickets on behalf of the emperor, and had the right to approve the cabinet's secrets and criticized the royal masters. The real power was once above the cabinet, and controlled the East Factory to correct the officials. The Imperial Horse Supervisor held the military positions with the Ministry of War and the Governor, and was actually the "Shufu" of the inner court, with the military power and financial power of the inner court, and also controlled the Western Factory to compete with the East Factory. The Sili and the Imperial Horse Supervisor were the top-level civil and military powers held in the hands of the emperor!

Yuhuatian served as the governor of the West Factory, but in fact, he was even more up-to-date as the eunuch in charge of the imperial horses. Concubine Wan favored Yuhuatian, which means that the Emperor Longsheng favored him. The military power and security in the palace were in the hands of Yuhuatian.

The so-called imperial horse is the cavalry that is controlled by the inner court, including the infantry, which is independent of the Ministry of War. It is an armed force that the emperor can directly control. Yuhuatian’s martial arts are amazing and his riding skills are also very clever, so he is not worried about the enemy’s pursuit!

This time, he ran for half a day, from noon to night, and slowed down the horses to rest in the middle. The enemy not only rested, but also changed horses. He could not get rid of the maggots with bones. He threw the enemy so much that he could not see them twice. But the enemy soon followed again, his nose was more flexible than a dog. Obviously, there were masters in the team who were good at tracking, and the enemy was even smarter and more capable. Later, dozens of people had taken off their heavy armor and approached with light clothes!

After several attempts to get rid of the unsuccessful battles and confronted several times, the horses in the rainy fields were already listless because food and water were lost in the battle, and people were also ineffective. For him, who was sleeping in the open, he could not recover his physical strength well.

When the sky was getting dark, Yu Huatian had no choice but to ride his horse towards the black mountains. He made up his mind and abandoned the horse and left, not believing that the enemy could still chase him without a horse. There were not many enemies, as the more than a thousand people said before, as the Ma Baihu said, while running and stopping, Yu Huatian judged that the enemy was at most 300!

The closer you get to the mountains, the more grasses, gradually the grasses are connected into pieces, and the trees are also increasing. Looking up the mountain, it is lush and green. It is completely different from the previous Gobi Desert, with all kinds of unknown birds and beasts appearing there. At the foot of the mountain, the rain turned into the sky and rose by five or six meters. A big tree on the left hand was shaking, and the white figure disappeared on the top of the tree, and in a blink of an eye it had penetrated deep into the mountains and forests.

After being kicked by Yu Huatian Feiyue, the horse was forced to move forward with his head and out of his body's limit. At this time, he could no longer control his head. He fell to the ground, foamed at the mouth, twitched, and kicked his legs from time to time, unable to stand up.

"Xu" When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Yong, who was the first to take the lead, stopped the war horses and looked at the dead horses that fell on the ground. He shouted, "Zhang Ting, you lead the yi team to stay in the rear troops and arrange for them to patrol the foot of the mountain so that the enemy will not escape. Zhang Lan, follow me up the mountain to kill the enemy."

Zhang Ting is a strong man with a big beard, shrugging his shoulders like an eagle and his eyes are as fierce as a jackal. He heard this and shouted reluctantly, "Master, you have taught us not to go in the forest, and you also said that you should not chase the enemy. The mountains are high and the forest is dense. I want to follow your side and let Zhang Lan wait for the rear army here."

Zhang Lan had a pretty face and smiled and said, "Yi, I will follow the general, just wait with you!"

"Zhang Ting, you have a fierce face and just deterred people from the capital. You just felt something was wrong when you fought with the enemy. The horse bandits rampant in the northwest were not so easy to kill. Moreover, these people did not run away until we got close, as if they had hidden feelings. You are delicate and just disagree with your face. You will wait for the people captured by the army to arrive, find out the details and make a decision. Don't be careless, and you should not be careful of people coming from the capital to make trouble. Don't kill prisoners. When I come back to deal with it, if there is any change, I will tell you to call me, and I will capture the enemy by myself." It turned out that Zhang Ting's face was disgusting and meticulous, and it was the best man who mistressed people. Zhang Yong was also the best use of things.

Zhang Yong calmed down and said, "Be careful, the enemy has high martial arts skills, I am afraid it will be a little better than me. Be careful of the enemy's detours and kills back!"

The troops dismounted one after another. Zhang Yong put two pots of arrows from the others and threw them behind him. He brought more than 30 people to the long soldiers, held a long bow, and rushed up in the direction of the disappearance of the Yuhuatian. The more than 30 people were flexible and could no longer see their backs in a blink of an eye.

There were only more than twenty cavalrymen left behind, some gathered their horses, some picked up the soldiers and stood up, and some untied the leather bags on the horse's back and drank the horse!

Two more hours later, it was already dark, the moonlight was bright, and the earth was white. More than 200 people arrived in two groups. A long distance away, some people shouted, "Mr. Ting, you have money, these people have a lot of money," and several riders came to Zhang Ting and threw down a few packages, and the packages fell to the ground and jingled.

Zhang Tinghun didn't care, his eyes were tied into a regiment, and the three men and women who blocked their mouths asked the cavalry later, "Why are there no one from Beijing?"

The cavalry looked disdainful, "Those guys with tender skin and tender flesh and no eggs only know how to shrink back. They hid behind and refused to step forward since the man charged. Who knew they had gone there? I guess they could get here at noon tomorrow!"

Zhang Ting nodded, counted the number of people, broke four brothers, and two others were injured. He shook his head and ordered people to bury the dead horse. It is common saying that things hurt their species. The cavalry would not eat the horse, let alone the dead horse was not delicious.

Everyone is old in the army and does their own things. After choosing a resting place, some people buried the pot, some whistle, some cleaned the grass, and some went to extract prisoners. The army did not bring the civilians and camp tents, and Zhang Ting planned to sleep in the open late and did not set up camp!

After a while, Zhang Ting ordered people to open a few packages, spread them in front of him, and looked at them for a moment, his face turned pale. He ignored the golden beads in the package. He grabbed the clothes in the package and spread them in the wind, pinched the Jinyiwei's robe, and murmured, "I've been in trouble!"

Turning his head and pointing at the three people tied to the ground, "What weapons do they use!"

A soldier carried a knife and handed it to Zhang Ting, and said, "The knife and sword are good, better than our waist knife. That girl stabbed us brothers to death. I will wash and peel her and let her enjoy it!"

Zhang Ting didn't reply, and took the long sword with a gloomy face, "Xuanchun Dagger, damn it", gritted his teeth, and vaguely felt that the filling was in big trouble, "Take those three people over to me." The soldier handed over the sword also changed his face when he heard the word "Xuanchun Dagger". Obviously, he also knew what the Xiuchun Dagger represents!

He asked the three of them carefully and repeatedly, and the sturdy man sneered, afraid that he would not speak in detail, and he could speak in all his words. However, at three o'clock, Zhang Ting knew the situation of these people very well.

While he ordered people to feed the three prisoners, he made a quick decision and ordered several powerful looking into the sky to shoot a sound of rockets. In an instant, a long "woo" sound broke through the sky, like a fire meteor flying backwards, which was particularly conspicuous in the quiet night sky! People blew the horns, long and short, "dou" was like a cow's sound, which was shocked by the loud bang in the mountains and forests, and many night birds flew up!
