Chapter 481: Confluence
Not to mention the turmoil caused by Kampal and Giryev after they went through a lot of hardships, Su Mo and Wei Erge and others walked for two days before they finally arrived at the hiding place of Wei Yi and others.
The hiding place of Wei Yi and the others was not in the south, but in a valley a little further north.
Su Mo and the others came with a large team of horses, and they were still more than ten miles away, so they had already alarmed the sentinels sent inside.
Months of life-and-death fighting had exhausted these iron-blooded men, but it was still the first time, and all those who could still move grabbed their knives and guns and struggled out of various hiding places. Even Wei Yi, who was seriously injured in the leg, also stood at the mouth of the cave where he was sheltered with a big gun, looking into the distance with a face like iron.
They were all in rags, and they didn't even have blades in their hands, and many of them were just carrying sharpened wooden sticks and bamboo knives. This was the first thing Su Mo saw after he came over.
"Brother Wei!" Su Mo dismounted from afar, grabbed it in a few steps, and grabbed Wei Yi's arm, and his voice unconsciously brought a little sourness.
"Su Gongzi, is it really you?!Okay, it's okay. Wei Yi's face was also full of excitement, and he looked Su Mo up and down again and again, trembling his lips and nodding his head.
"Big brother, little brother was ordered to go out to investigate, and I came here to give orders. Next to him, Wei Er stepped forward, saluted Wei Yi, and replied respectfully. Although they are called brothers, they are extremely strict in abiding by military etiquette.
Wei Yi turned his head to look at him, a warm color flashed in his eyes, nodded, and said softly: "Second brother has worked hard." With that, he leaned sideways and let go of it, and smiled at Su Mo: "Childe, please speak inside." As he spoke, he gestured to the fat man next to him.
Several mermaids rushed in, but Tang Yuan was guarding outside the entrance of the cave under Su Mo's command. The long-tailed bear looked up at the narrow hole in annoyance, roared, and had to lie down outside the cave in frustration.
In the cave, Su Mo personally helped Wei Yi to sit on a haystack, and put a thick felt coat handed over by the fat man to him, and then sat down next to him.
Listening to the excited cheers of the soldiers outside, Wei Yi showed a little relief on his face, and said to Su Mo: "Young Master Su, where have you been in the past few months? Do you know that because of your disappearance, the entire grassland is in chaos? Also, what happened to those horses and supplies outside?"
Su Mo shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "It's a long story, it's really hard to explain." With a sigh, he explained how Garman suddenly appeared, how he chased him and the fat man and fled into the desert, how he was inexplicably taken into that strange secret place by a sandstorm, and so on.
Of course, the matter about the Divine Stone is passed by. He faintly felt that this divine stone was very important, and it seemed to be the source of everything. And it's so unbelievable that he can't even explain it himself. So, just don't say more.
But Rao is like this, and the two brothers Wei Yi and Wei Er, who also listened, were dumbfounded, and their faces were shocked and inexplicable.
Secret realms, floating fragments of small worlds, dead sandworms, and weird sandstorms all subvert the cognition of the two.
If you change places and people, they will only listen to a story. But from Su Mo's mouth, and seeing the existence of tangyuan with their own eyes, it really made them unbelievable if they didn't want to believe it.
Compared with this, the later encounter with Wei Er, the design to blackmail Ross, and the capture of Kampal and Giryev are not so eye-catching.
There was silence in the cave, and the Wei brothers were all dull-faced, and their minds were immersed in those mysterious and dreamy descriptions.
Su Mo didn't urge, he knew that for ordinary people, these things were like mortals meeting immortals, and the state of the two at this time was also human nature.
After a long time, Wei Yi, as the eldest brother, really became more calm. He let out a long breath of air, and said with envy and sigh: "Su Gongzi met on the occasion, and he was honest...... ...... Commitment"
He couldn't find the right words to describe it in a row, so he could only sigh and sigh a few times.
Su Mo sighed in his heart, you know the strangeness of my encounter, but you don't know how many of them were close to death, and what a great horror they encountered. If it were possible, I would rather not see these fantastic things. Speaking of fantasy, what could be more fantastical than traveling through time and space by yourself, from hundreds of years later to this Ming time and space?
It's just that these words can only be slandered in the heart, and how can they dare to say it in the open? Although no one will come to arrest him to slice it, if he is regarded as a demon or a monster, he will not be able to escape from the pig cage and burn the stake or something.
"Okay, that's the case with the little brother, and it's really helpless. But what happened to the grassland chaos that Brother Wei just said because of the younger brother's matter?" said, and glanced at Wei Er next to him strangely.
You know, after he and Wei Er met a few days ago, it seems that Wei Er didn't know about his disappearance. At that time, he thought that it was because the grassland was vast and the news was blocked. But now when I heard Wei Yi say this, it seems that he already knew about it, but he didn't know what was wrong with it.
When Wei Er saw his gaze, he understood in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Master Su, I didn't hide anything, I really don't know." Big brother, when did you get the news? Alas, isn't the third and fourth children back?"
Wei Yi nodded with a smile, and said apologetically to Su Mo: "Su Gongzi didn't blame the second brother, when he left that day, my third brother and fourth brother had just set off and didn't return until yesterday." Therefore, it is only in the next place that we can learn about the disappearance of Childe and the changes after that. My second brother has been outside, but he really doesn't know. ”
Su Mo suddenly asked the previous question again. Wei Yi nodded and sighed: "Okay, instead of passing the word down, it's better to let the third brother and the fourth brother be more clear." As he spoke, he greeted loudly and asked people to go to another cave behind him and call Wei San and Wei Si over.
"My two brothers only came back last night, and they fought several times along the way, but now they are still asleep and have not woken up, and I ask my son to wait for a while. After he finished shouting, he turned his head and said apologetically to Su Mo.
Su Mo sighed, quickly jumped up and stopped the soldier who was going to give the order, turned his head to Wei Yi and said unhappily: "Brother Wei, is this taking me as an outsider? Since the third brother and the fourth brother need to rest, then don't bother." I asked Brother Wei to talk about it for me first. ”
A touch of warmth flashed in Wei Yi's eyes, although they were the henchmen of the Duke of Wei, they were still nominally the servants of the Duke of Wei. In this era, the upper and lower hierarchies are strict, but the master has a life, not to mention that the slave is tired, as long as he does not die on the spot, he still has to take care of the master's will first.
Like Su Mo, it is extremely rare to be considerate of their labor, and to be considerate of waiting patiently rather than letting them rest.
"So, thank you for your understanding. Let's convey it to you. He clenched his fists and thanked him solemnly, and then he was about to speak.
Su Mo nodded, and happily sat down again, but he didn't care about the cold mess on the ground, which made Wei Yi sigh a little more in his heart. Compared with this one, the son of his own family is really too far away. If nothing else, this casual and uninhibited place alone is already much better. It's no wonder that even the old man will be impressed by him.
Thinking like this, he slowly said the news he had received. It took half an hour to say this before I finished talking about everything.
It turned out that after Su Mo was chased and fled that day, everyone was leaderless for a while, but fortunately, Sister Cheng arrived very quickly, and did not hesitate to put on the posture of a young lady and quickly stabilized the situation.
After stabilizing all parties, Cheng Yuexian still sent several scouts to search for Su Mo's whereabouts, and at the same time sent people to Dayan Khan to contact the Ming mission. He also sent people to Xuanfu and Datong to mobilize manpower, and through the merchants of the Enmeng, he contacted Duoyan Sanwei in the northeast, and jointly sent people to assist in investigating Su Mo's whereabouts.
As for why he contacted Duoyan Sanwei as a businessman, rather than through official channels, the meaning is self-evident.
When Su Mo heard this, his heart was both admired and awkward. This daughter-in-law is really shrewd, she only mentioned a few words at the time, she was able to analyze all kinds of pros and cons from it, and simply bypassed the court directly, and contacted Duoyan Sanwei without authorization.
You know, after all, her father is a member of the imperial court. What she did, once it was found out by someone with a heart, it would be difficult for Cheng Minzheng.
Is this considered a cheating father? The daughter is outgoing, and she forgets her father when she has a lover. Therefore, you can't raise a girl, it's too pitiful!
This is Su Mo's mistake to blame Sister Cheng. The reason why Sister Cheng did this was certainly one aspect of Su Mo's thoughts, but there was another big incident that made Sister Cheng have to be more careful. Moreover, she is hidden behind the scenes, and the only person she sent is a businessman, even if she is found out, she has her own words, and she will never be found. So, as long as she can't be found, how can her father be involved?
Mr. Su's so-called cheating on his father for the sake of his lover, well, he is really a little self-inflicted, and he thinks too much.
The topic is far away, so let's bring it back.
After these groups of people were dispatched, the first news to come back was from Dayan Khan's side.
The Ming mission had indeed arrived at the tent. As the chief envoy of the mission, no matter how much Yu Mian delayed, he couldn't delay it indefinitely. In the end, I had to bite the bullet and take Qin's order first.
According to the spies' report, after the Ming delegation entered the sweat tent, it seems that there is no achievement. I haven't heard of any negotiations between the two sides, and it doesn't even seem to be a representative of the two sides.
The spies wanted to try to sneak in and take the initiative to contact the people of the mission, but they found that for a while, they could not find the people of the mission. It was as if the entire mission had completely disappeared as soon as it entered the tent.
After Sister Cheng got the news, she thought about it all night, and the next day she suddenly issued an unexpected order: order most of the troops to assemble in the direction of the Yibu Department and make a strict defensive posture.
How does this go?!
The thorn part is inclined to the Ming Dynasty, or to be more precise, it is to fall to the side of Yismain. This time, it was because Dayan Khan wanted to attack his subordinates that his subordinates asked for help from the Ming Dynasty. But now why do you seem to treat them as enemies?
Everyone was confused and puzzled, but under Sister Cheng's coercive wrist, with the help of Zhang Yue and others, everyone could only accept it helplessly.
But just when everyone was mobilizing, a sudden news made everyone even more confused: Yibu and Duoyan Sanwei were fighting!
The reason is said to be that they secretly received the benefits of Dayan Khan, and brazenly attacked one of the tribes of the Yibu tribe, and plundered the entire tribe, so they wanted revenge.
And Duoyan Sanwei also spread the word, saying that they had found a clansman who had been looking for him, and he was assassinated by the Yibu Assassins, and they were just going to inquire. And the other side not only refused to tell the truth, but also attacked first, which led to the battle between the two sides. And even then, there was no such thing as a slaughter, but a slight touch, and then the tribe fled on its own.
The two sides said their own reasons, and finally sparked this battle.
