Chapter 262: Follow the Trend
The camp is convenient for a dry female dependents, the queen mother's camp tent is the largest, and there are several rooms separated by a screen, seeing Le Yu coming, the palace maids at the door of the tent will all open the curtains, and when you enter the door, you can hear the voice of Aunt Hongli's comfort, "The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and he has the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, and he can return safely.
Le Yu subconsciously paused, and the old voice of the Queen Mother couldn't hide her tiredness and discouragement, "Where is the need for the mourning family to preside over the overall situation? The queen is the mother of a country, and when she performs, how can she stand the mourning family's fingers?"
Le Yu's eyes deepened, and she deliberately lowered her steps, and sure enough, there was silence inside, "Queen Mother, Yu'er looks at you." The Queen Mother sighed, "Quick, Hongli, go and bring it in." Poor man, I'm still hurt, what are I doing?"
Without waiting for Aunt Hongli to come out, Le Yu had already turned the sixteen marble base screens of the magpie Dengzhi with a smile, "I can't afford it, it's already much better, what do you think, Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother smiled gently and watched Le Yu come in, "Quick, come and sit down, don't break the wound." She knew that her granddaughter did it, so she had three points of guilt and five points of pity for Le Yu, Le Yu knew this, but who was far away, it was clear at a glance, even if the queen mother was good to herself, it was impossible to blame her granddaughter and daughter for herself, and Le Yu never had expectations, so she was not disappointed.
Le Yu carefully looked at the queen mother's complexion, "The queen mother still has to relax, we can only be anxious about the men's affairs, if we toss ourselves and get sick, who will take care of them when they come back?"
The Queen Mother held Le Yu's hand tightly, this child is always so understanding, no wonder Ye'er likes her. Cheng Lingye was raised under her knees, this relationship is not ordinary, she likes Leyu very much, and she turns a blind eye to the affairs of the two, and she is happy to see it happen in her heart, but her granddaughter can't let go of this obsession, she is also embarrassed, "What you said is that the mourning family is really old, how can there be the strength of youth in this heart? ”
Le Yu didn't guess the meaning of her words, but just smiled: "In the past few days, the soldiers have been in chaos, and my father can't take care of me, and Yu'er is only afraid that she will come to protect the Queen Mother's Hongfu." She didn't say that she was going to serve the Queen Mother, she herself was seriously injured, so it was too fake, and it was easy to cause the Queen Mother to feel that she was being used, but it hurt the love between the two.
The Queen Mother really didn't mean to be angry, but stroked her hair with pity: "Okay, the mourning family is also panicked, you will live next door, and our grandparents and grandchildren will talk." ”
She was clear-minded and agreed to Le Yu's request without hesitation, just because she also knew what kind of character her granddaughter was, and she couldn't bear to have anything wrong with Le Yu after all.
So Le Yu stayed in the tent beside the Queen Mother, talking to the Queen Mother every day to pass the time, but she was very anxious in her heart, looking forward to the news of Mu Xueyi and the others.
It had been six days since Jun Xiao stopped in front of the devastated weathered stone mountain in military uniform, and he had almost walked around the area, but he had found no trace of them. I didn't go back to the camp for days in a row to rest, and when I was thirsty, I only drank a handful of stream water, and when I was hungry, I ate two mouthfuls of dried meat that I carried with me, and even I slept for an hour or two before I was awakened.
Although he had strong confidence in Cheng Lingye, everything in front of him still worried him, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he was stunned when he followed the voice, "Why are you here?"
Mu Xueyi's white robe was crumpled and crumpled, stained with dots of mud marks and stains, and his hair was also unkempt, obviously he hadn't cleaned up properly for a few days, and beside him was the same messy green bamboo. Lu Zhu's expression was solemn and strangely relaxed, "Sixth Prince, come with us." ”
Jun Xiao threw off the saddle and dismounted, and ordered the entourage to escort: "You wait here." The two of them walked about half a mile before they stopped at a sparsely laden half-man-high Gesang bush.
There was nothing unusual from the outside, Jun Xiao looked at the two of them inquiringly, and Lu Zhu motioned for him to follow, and took the lead in opening the flowers that were in full bloom and stepped into the flowers.
The flowers are petite and sparse, so the open space in the middle won't attract anyone's attention. The earth was turned over, revealing a dozen or so bodies piled up haphazardly, probably several days later, all of which were rotting to varying degrees, but because they were apparently sprinkled with lime, there was no foul smell wafting away.
Jun Xiao was shocked, his throat was so loud that he almost cried, seeing his expression, Lu Zhu was not pretentious, "Don't worry, I've seen it, there is no emperor and the prince Jiaxun." ”
Jun Xiao was stunned, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't say it earlier, it scared me to death." Mu Xueyi said coldly: "I think you should be familiar with these people, so I came to you." “
Jun Xiao took a closer look at it, and the dignified prince did not have the slightest hint of evasion and disgust, and went straight to rummage among these corpses, "These people are all wearing two kinds of clothes, the yellow one with the green dragon is the emperor's guard, and the other corpses are all black clothes and black scarves, which are obviously killers." But these people have a characteristic," he said, pointing to Mu Xueyi and Luzhu, "You look at this person's feet, wearing a pair of cowhide hard-soled boots, do you feel familiar?"
Mu Xueyi glanced at Jun Xiao deeply, and admired him a little, not every prince can do this. Both of them are smart people, and after taking a closer look, they were surprised and said, "It's the same." ”
Jun Xiao was not surprised if he had no beginning or end, "Yes, these killers are all people in the army, and even soldiers in this thousand guards. ”
Such a conclusion made the faces of the three of them heavy, and Mu Xueyi was the first to break the silence, "You have been gone for several days, and you don't know the changes in the camp for the time being." Now that the queen has taken over the military power, King Cheng and Da Sima can only assist from the side, and these people sent out are all assigned by the queen. ”
What this means, Jun Xiao knew it, but no one mentioned it, "You say, where will they be?"
Mu Xueyi narrowed a pair of phoenix eyes that were as cold as peach blossoms, "Since they are their own people, then these people scattered on the grassland now are not worth trusting, although not all of them, but at least some of them want to fish in troubled waters." If I were Cheng Lingye's kid, I would hide and wait until someone trustworthy could find me. ”
Jun Xiao thought thoughtfully, "In other words, I should be the one who can be trusted." But where could they be?" Mu Xueyi didn't speak, but looked at Lu Zhu, who had found it here.
Luzhu beckoned the two of them to bury this place again, and thought as he moved his hands: "Lord's mind is far stronger than ours, and I don't know where he will hide." But the steppe is so big, they must be nearby. It is impossible for people not to eat or drink, but if they are sought out everywhere, there must be water or food in the place where they are hiding. Follow this clue and look for it again, or you can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Such an inference can be established, and Jun Xiao immediately decided: "Then you can stay with me for the time being, and let's go to the stream immediately." ”
Mu Xueyi shook his head, "We can make such a response because we only know the truth now, but the other party has already had such an advantage, so I'm afraid it will do the same." No matter where Cheng Lingye is hiding, it will be a matter of time before he is found. He and Jiaxun may still be injured, and we can't afford to delay any longer. You take someone to look for it over there, and Luzhu and I will go first, and we will leave a mark for you when the time comes. ”
Jun Xiao thought about it: "That's fine, since the other party makes a move, she won't count it like this, as long as she can leave us all on the grassland, she wins." We are alone, I will find some trustworthy people to help, and when the time comes, we will have the strength to fight. ”
None of the three were indecisive, and as soon as they were properly assigned, they set off to their own devices, looking for them along the river. Cheng Lingye was still more than ten miles away from them at the moment, and night began to fall, and under the small stone bag where they lived, they were finally found by the killer who was chasing them, and they fought again in this clearing.
Jun Zhanhai's kung fu is just a three-legged cat, he was protected by Cheng Lingye behind him, and he did not receive a single scratch, but the price was that Cheng Lingye's old injury had not healed, and a new injury was added, and he was stabbed twice more on his left shoulder and back.
It was almost all his best to kill all the people who were chasing, Jia Xun was on the handle of his sword, almost exhausted, "Master, what should I do?" Cheng Lingye cheered up and wiped his face, "We can't clean up the battlefield now, we can only let it be discovered." But this is good, it can be a temptation, exposing the truth of our attack in front of people, it will make them throw a mouse, and also give the father and the big Sima time to react. Let's go back to the cave we used to make and wait to see the excitement. When the time comes, it will be clear which people are enemies and who are friends. “
Such a method was agreed by Jun Zhanhai, and it was unpredictable. These dead people all have dry food and water on them, and Jiaxun unceremoniously keeps them all for himself, and they have to hold on for a few days, these things are indispensable.
Sure enough, the tragedy here was quickly discovered and shocked the entire camp, so many people in black died here for no reason, even the most stupid people thought of the truth of the matter.
Empress Song was so angry that she dropped two teacups, "These wastes, three people can't be killed, and there are more than enough things to do!" She was a little confused, the emperor was attacked, and many people were in a hurry to escort her, and the two forces were twisted together, who would lose and who would win? She tried her best to calm down, there was no way, there was no turning back when she opened the bow, and now she couldn't turn back! A fierce flashed between her eyebrows, "Pass the order, and kill after you find it!"
Many people came to the scene one after another, and after seeing it, they were all shocked and angry, and they all looked around like crazy, day and night, but no one even looked up at the small stone mountain above their heads.
It wasn't until Mu Xueyi and Green Bamboo appeared below that Jia Xun was shocked and whistled with his fingers. Mu Xueyi looked up in astonishment, and saw Jia Xun who was smiling brightly.
Squeezed into the cave, Jia Xun smiled and said, "Master, who are coming?" Mu Xueyi and Cheng Lingye did not hug as excitedly as he thought, Mu Xueyi knelt on one knee with his shirt in his face: "Your Majesty, the ministers are too late." ”
Jiaxun's face froze, and he was secretly shocked, he was really confused, and he forgot that this person was still there. Jun Zhanhai still trusts Mu Xueyi, after all, people who have no conflict of interest are not a threat, "Mu Gongzi, why are you here?"
After seeing that there were only two people, Jun Zhanhai became depressed again, and couldn't hide his disappointment, "Why are there only two people?" Mu Xueyi raised his eyebrows, "Go back to the emperor, so that the emperor can rest assured that the six princes will arrive soon." (To be continued.) )
