Chapter 583: The Empress's Laughter
The battlefield of Wu Liucheng shocked the war in the world, and it came to an end when Di Yun led 20,000 people to break through in a hurry.
The first general in the world, led 50,000 reckless iron cavalry to garrison Wuliucheng, but he only held it tightly for three months, and then was broken through the city by the ghost people, leaving nearly 30,000 corpses at the same time, and escaped from Wuliu City, but the casualties of the ghost people were only 35,000 people. Looks like a big win in terms of numbers.
But in fact, both sides are quite satisfied with the situation on their own side in this war, but they are not very satisfied. The ghost clan failed to completely annihilate the Da Mang people in Wuliu City, they were very surprised, but they ate most of the Da Mang's troops.
Although the reckless people did not retreat with their whole body, the escape of the main general and most of the cavalry was a blessing in misfortune.
The cavalry led by Di Yun was not intercepted by the ghost clansmen along the way, and successfully reached the last line of defense they formed, Liangzhou City.
The ghost people stayed in Wuliu City for a short rest, and no one knew what they planned to do next.
This military border city located at the northwest end of the vast territory of Damang, in order to guard against the girders, the four-way earthen city wall is extremely thick, and it looks like a solid earthen enclosure.
The city was distinctly different from the swamps in the distance, for from here it was like a clear dividing line, leading into an unpleasantly dry area.
In the dry season, the floating earth on the earthen wall will be blown by the northwest wind and the knife will drift in all directions, and then fall on the simple barracks, and fall on the soldiers, and the whole world will turn into an earthy yellow, and people will shake a sandstorm when they fall asleep and shake the covers.
It was the autumn drought, and the rain came at the right time, and was warmly welcomed by the soldiers, and the rain from last night to this time washed away the dust on the roof, as if it had also washed people's eyes a lot brighter.
At least Qiu Weizhong's eyes were very bright at this time.
As the supreme military governor of Tiangong City, his attitude at this time was very humble, although he was a little dissatisfied with the yellow mud footprints on the precious blanket, he successfully concealed that dissatisfaction into a trace of consternation.
Bowing respectfully to the gorgeously dressed young man next to the dwarf, he whispered: "Honorable lord, I don't know if the nobles in the tent have any other needs, if the nobles insist on leaving tomorrow, then I can always send a hundred-man team to escort him, and I will immediately make a file and pass it over from the military headquarters." ”
The gorgeously dressed young man smiled gently, pointed to the figures in the tent, and shook his head to indicate that he had no opinion. At this moment, a cold and proud woman's voice came from the tent: "No need, run your own errand." ”
Early this morning, after the other party's convoy rushed into Tiangong City in the rain, Qiu Weizhong didn't take long to guess the identity of the noble man in the convoy, so he didn't have any opinion on the other party's pride and indifference, and he didn't dare to have any opinion.
The people in the tent were silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "From Tiangong City to the capital, the roads in this area are difficult to travel, it seems that this rain will take some time, maybe some mountain roads will be washed away, you can transfer a guide for me from the army." ”
Qiu Weizhong was stunned, remembered a certain guy, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and responded: "There are ready-made candidates." ”
Several lieutenants outside the barracks looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces, some regretful, some reluctant, some happy, and some shocked, but it was obvious that they didn't expect that Qiu Weizhong would actually choose to let that person be the guide of the nobles.
"General, are you really going to let him go?" said one of the lieutenants in surprise.
Tiangong City is not big, and the total number of officers and non-commissioned officers is no more than three hundred, and the military camp far away from the bustling area is sometimes more like a bandit's den, and the so-called generals are just the lowest-ranking generals. However, Qiu Weizhong is extremely strict in governing the army, so even in daily conversations, his subordinates dare not forget to add the word general to their heads.
Qiu Weizhong wiped the rain from his face, looked at the yellow-brown stagnant water around the barracks, and sighed with emotion: "You can't always leave him in this place where birds don't, he is a cultivator, which noble person would be more suitable." ”
"I don't think that noble man appreciates it......," replied the lieutenant in annoyance.
The barracks door behind everyone was pushed open, and a handsome maid walked out, looked at Qiu Weizhong and the lieutenants and said coldly, "Take me to see that guide." ”
In the end, it is the personal servant of the noble, and in the face of the court generals, she does not hide her faint arrogance.
The prime minister's concierge, the nobleman's close maid, and the prince are the most troublesome characters in the officialdom. Qiu Weizhong really didn't want to deal with this kind of person, so he said a few words of gossip at random, so he waved his hand and summoned a lieutenant and ordered him to take this noble maid to look for someone by himself.
The rain is temporary, the Tiangong City after the light rain looks particularly fresh, the three or two willows on the side of the road are blooming green, but although the scenery is good, the city is too small, and after walking a few steps, the captain led the maid to the destination, which is a simple barracks. Unlike the lively scenes in other barracks, this barracks is as simple as other barracks, but it feels unusually clean, and the cleanliness here does not mean that it looks clean, but that it will give people an extremely clean feeling no matter where it comes from.
The captain pushed the door open and did not say hello, and it seemed that the owner of the room seemed to be on good terms with them, but when the maidservant entered the barracks and saw the only young man sitting on the bed in the barracks, she immediately covered her mouth.
"Repair...... Cultivator?"
"Yes, cultivator. The corners of the captain's mouth were raised, and he looked at the young handsome man sitting on the bed and said with a little pride.
In the barracks with the best conditions in Tiangong City, the gorgeously dressed young man was closing his eyes and recuperating, while the general Qiu Weizhong was half-bowing and talking to the nobles in the tent, with a look of surprise that could not be hidden in his humble attitude.
"Are you not happy with the guide?" he asked, confused, "Why?"
The cold voice behind the tent paused for a moment, and said unhappily, "Since it is, why did the cultivator fall into your tent?"
In this world, cultivators are rare things, so no matter how high or low the realm is, cultivators will have some pride of their own, so there are academies in Dahan, and there are even imperial cultivation groups that are directly under the emperor's rule, although they also participate in court affairs, but they only obey the emperor's orders and give them enough respect, so they will be willing to die for the emperor. And why would this guide, since he was a cultivator, be willing to go into a sloppy place like a military camp and stay with these soldiers who were covered in the smell of sweat? What was even more incomprehensible was that this person could not see the slightest discomfort. This made the nobles in the tent even more incomprehensible.
Qiu Weizhong replied more and more humbly: "He is a native of Tiangong City, and he likes it here, so he stays here." ”
Then he looked up, smiled and said, "But that doesn't mean he's not proud." ”
There was a sudden silence behind the tent, and the noble man never spoke again.
After Qiu Weizhong left, the gorgeously dressed young man said to the nobles in the account: "Master, there can be a cultivator in this small city, it is better to keep him by your side, it must be a lot of wealth." ”
The noble man nodded thoughtfully.
"What's your name?" the noble man finally opened the tent that he never opened, and saw the handsome man who saw him but still didn't have any mood swings, and for some reason the shadow of another person suddenly appeared in his mind, slowly overlapping with his figure.
"In the next season nine. The young man said politely.
"Would you like to come with me to Kyoto?"
"Yes. The young man did not say yes, but said yes, but the noble man did not feel the slightest displeasure, but was very happy from the bottom of his heart.
But she suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and the expression on her face fell silent.
The empress thought about the scene when she and Ji Jiu met for the first time, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Ji Jiu is also in Liangzhou City?" said the empress as she looked at the panting messenger. She was not surprised by Wu Liucheng's mistake, but she was more concerned about Ji Jiu's safety.
"Yes. ”
"Okay, you can go down. ”
