Episode 53 (3)
"How are the others?" Yu Zimo chatted with Qing Ran for a while, and she asked the other generals how they reacted to the sneak attack.
"Zhang Ye's generals and lieutenant generals, they obviously didn't expect such a result from this sneak attack, they were all a little excited, and their emotions were very high. However, some people are worried that they have suffered such a big loss, and when the main army arrives, they will frantically retaliate against us. ”
"This concern is not unfounded. We really should be on guard. Yu Zimo said, "Don't just get a little cheap from them here, and make up for it when you go back." ”
"I've sent people to step up reconnaissance, patrols, and guards. "This time the enemy suffered such a big loss, he will definitely retaliate, and before he acted, Qing Ran expected it.
Yu Zimo shook his head lightly. "It's not enough. She half-narrowed her eyes, her tone and expression were intriguing,...... "Don't forget what happened to Xiao Bogong." She slowly reminded Qingran.
"I've been trying to find out where he is, but there's been no news. "Qing Ran is helpless, how can a big living person disappear out of thin air, there is no trace of clues to follow, it makes no sense!" I will continue to send someone to find it. ”
Yu Zimo tilted his head, found a more comfortable angle to sit, and then said, "I'm not talking about his unprovoked disappearance, but before he disappeared." ”
"Before he disappeared?" Qing Ran couldn't immediately keep up with Zi Mo's train of thought.
"Have you forgotten how Lin Xiang came to our East County?" Yu Zimo reminded Qing Ran.
"For the sake of ...... Look for you to cure his eyes. That's what Zi Mo told him at the time.
"What else?"
Qingran was speechless.
"What is the reason and excuse for Lin Xiang to come to Dongjun?"
Qingran's expression moved slightly, and he said in a lost voice: "The grain and grass are on fire...... At that time, the two armies confronted each other, and the grain and grass of the army often caught fire for no reason, and the reason could not be found, so Xiao Bogong asked Lin Xiang to come out to look for spiritual objects. ……
"Although Lin Xiang's main purpose is to find me to treat my eyes and take the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Bogong. But he didn't stop investigating the matter, but until now he hasn't found the reason. Yu Zimo continued to say in an unhurried voice.
The appearance of the fire, like Xiao Bogong's disappearance, was as unprovoked and traceless. …… Wait, Qingran's heart couldn't help but move, a thought flashed through his mind, one appeared for no reason, the other disappeared for no reason, could it be the same reason? Thinking of this, Qingran trembled.
"I don't know how they did it. Yu Zimo saw that Qingran thought of it, and then said, "But they must have done it." If there are two of them, there will be three or four...... We need to be prepared. ”
"But we don't know what they're going to do?" If everything is as Lin Xiang said, even Xiao Bogong has no way, and even he himself has been involved, what can they do and how to prevent it?
Yu Zimo stroked the corners of the quilt twice with his fingers, and said to Qingran, "You call Xiaohai in." ”
Qing Ran knew that Zi Mo had an idea, so he didn't hesitate. After a while, Xiao Hai followed Qing Ran in.
"Princess, what are your orders?" Xiao Hai asked affectionately.
Yu Zimo took out a leather bag from the head of the bed, "Xiaohai, there are twenty branches in this bag, you go and take them around the barracks." ”
Xiao Hai took the pocket that Zi Mo gave him, opened it, and sure enough, he saw that there were dozens of palm-length branches inside, and scratched his head.
Yu Zimo moved his finger at him. Xiao Hai immediately approached Zi Mo. Yu Zimo explained a few words in his ear, "Remember, don't be noticed, and don't tell anyone about it." Got it?"
Xiao Hai nodded wisely, smiled at Yu Zimo, and disappeared.
"Do you think this is related to the spirit stone?" Qingran knew that the bag contained the branches that Yu Zimo had given Yu'er to play with back then. He still remembered the scene when Yu'er fiddled with the branches. After Yu'er left, she put away the branches. She said that those branches had the scent of jade on them, which could be used to sense spirit stones.
Yu Zimo lowered his eyes, "Except for the spirit stone, I can't think of anything else for a while." …… Give it a try. …… If not, let's think of another way. ”
Spiritual things, Qing Ran doesn't understand, so he can only be tired of Zi Mo's worries. "You can rest a little longer. Although the sky was already bright and the hour was still early, he saw that Zi Mo was tired, so he covered her quilt and said. "I'm going to talk to Lu about how I can strengthen my defenses. ”
"Good. Yu Zimo said softly.
Qingran helped her lie down again, covered her with a quilt, pulled up the curtain, checked the window, walked out of the house, turned around and closed the door carefully. After instructing the guards not to let anyone disturb the princess's rest, he went to find Lu Ye.
At this time, Lu was still immersed in the excitement of the post-war period, and pulled Changming to talk about his calm and alertness during the sneak attack, and when he saw Qingran coming, he became more and more happy, and pulled Qingran to let Qingran testify about his boast just now.
Qingran smiled.
"Prince, you can't say anything, you nod your head. Changming and the others saw that Qingran echoed Lu Ye, and said dissatisfiedly.
Lu Ye also pretended to be very unhappy, "Although you are sure of everything I say, why do I still think that you are perfunctory to me, you are with Changming and them." ”
"Lu Ye, you are cheap and good. Chang Ming exposed Lu Ye's unassuming lies.
Qing Ran waited for them to have another round of verbal swords, and when they were in high spirits, he stopped them from talking, "Okay, let's get down to business." …… I think there are still some problems in the army's preparedness, and we need to discuss them together and find solutions. ”
A few people were stunned, they had just finished discussing the matter of precautions with Xiao Qingran, they had considered almost all the possibilities, and thought of the ways to deal with them one by one, and they had already arranged them.
The prince went to see the princess, and when he came back, he said that he would continue to discuss the plan of defense, and that the princess had any doubts about their arrangement.
"Is that what the princess meant?" Lu also asked directly, "The princess has found a hole in our defenses. ”
"She's proposing a possibility. Qing Ran said Yu Zimo's suspicions.
"Sure enough, it's my princess. Lu also looked admiring. "How did I forget about it? …… It is indeed necessary to guard against it. Lu Ye quickly changed his expression as he spoke, "Is the princess still resting?" he asked with concern.
"Hmm. ”
"If only the princess could discuss it with us, sure enough, only the princess reassures me the most. ”
"Don't you trust the prince? One of the guards half-jokingly continued Lu Ye's words.
"Of course not," Lu said, "I believe in the prince as much as I believe in myself. It's just that......" he became resentful again, "in my heart all of us together are no match for a piece of the princess's clothes." ”
"You're too hard, the princess isn't here. Changming really admired Lu Ye's ability to act all the time.
"You know, the princess is always in my heart. ”
"If you let others hear this, you will definitely be condemned for the crime of great disrespect. ”
"To be able to show loyalty to the princess, it is worth dying. ”
"Forget it if you die," Qing Ran knew that Lu Ye would not stop talking nonsense, and intercepted his words, "Zi Mo's health has not been good recently, and he needs to rest." We get things done and try not to bother her. ”
"Good. said that it was for the princess, and Lu immediately became serious.
So, they began to think about how to deal with it......
