Chapter 124: Cat and Mouse Game (1)

When the news of King Yun's suicide in fear of crime reached Kyoto, many courtiers and ordinary people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This matter is finally over, and this battle cannot be fought. It's also a little ridiculous to say, in the past, King Liyun killed the enemy on the battlefield in exchange for Shuoyun's peace, but now he has completed this with death.

However, the joy of the courtiers and the common people did not last long. After the death of King Yun, the 100,000 troops gathered by Mochizuki who were wandering on the border did not disperse, but suddenly launched an attack, and due to the laxity of the defenders and the lack of generals for a while, Mochizuki actually broke through three cities at once.

Overnight, the wind and clouds changed color, and it was only now that the people of Shuoyun faintly realized that they seemed to have been deceived.

This battle is inevitable, whether the Cloud King is alive or dead. This may be a conspiracy of Mochizuki, King Yun died, Shuoyun lost a fierce general, and no one could stop Mochizuki's iron horseman.

However, there is no regret medicine to take in this world, and even if they regret it, it is impossible for King Yun to survive to fight Mochizuki.

It's just that they can be deceived, why should even the emperor be deceived?

Thousands of miles away.

"It's been a long time since these comfortable days passed, and there is not even a little blood? Mochizuki has been bullied to the head, and Shuoyun actually wants to exchange the general's life for peace. This incident will be ridiculed by future generations in history. ”

Shrouded in the morning light, Moyun Mountain was quiet and quiet, and there were two people standing on the mountain, both of them standing towards the north.

The person who spoke was a young man with a lupine scarf, dressed as a literati, but all that was revealed from his bones was ruffian and unruly. This person's name is Luo Ning, and he is Gongsun Yi's deputy general.

"The people have a desire for peace in their bones, and it is understandable that their nature will prevail over their blood if they are instigated a little. Gongsun Yi analyzed objectively.

"The general is still helping them to speak at this time? I haven't seen the general who has always been ruthless in a few months, and he has become a holy father?" his tone was full of mockery.

Gongsun Yi squinted at him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Luo Ning, I haven't seen you for a few months, the deputy general of this general has become a flamboyant literati, and I don't know what Sheng Jinran, the right general under the general's seat, thinks." ”

Luo Ning's face immediately floated a suspicious red: "General, you are not interesting enough, we have a conversation between men, why are you involved with a woman? I still have a question, why did the emperor say that you were dead, if he said that you escaped, it would be more beneficial to him." ”

If the Cloud King escapes, then the Mochizuki declaration of war can be blamed on the Cloud King, and the people of Shuoyun may not wake up so quickly that they have been deceived. The people of Shuoyun will hate the Cloud King even more, thinking that all this is caused by the Cloud King.

"Our Majesty naturally weighed the pros and cons, and he wanted King Yun to become a dead man. In his eyes, the Cloud King was more threatening than Mochizuki. ”

"Yo, General, you're really going to put gold on your face!" Luo Ning whistled, and the flow of air flowed.

The green tendons on Gongsun Yi's forehead twitched, resisting the urge to beat his lieutenant general, pursed his lips tightly, and looked north.

"General, your beloved wife is still a hostage in Liangcheng. If the general runs away, the emperor must be furious, and he doesn't know how to torture your beloved wife, general, can you bear it?" Gongsun Yi's 300,000 army on the frontier was led by Luo Ning. He never entered Beijing, but heard that the general married a lady, and he was very fond of her. Looking at the general's perennial cold face, Luo Ning couldn't imagine how the general doted on his lady.

"I know her, if she can't come out of Liangcheng, then it's not Gu Shuiyue. Gongsun Yi said, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Luo Ning couldn't help but pouted secretly. Liang Cheng can be described as an impregnable wall now, not a single fly can fly, but the general's wife can actually come out? I don't know if the general believes in her too much, or if the favor is fake, the general has long planned to give up on her. After all, those who achieve great things must give up a lot of things.

The two stood on Mo Yun for a while, and then they each rode down the mountain.

Gongsun Yi entered the main account of the barracks, Luo Ning reported it, and came out, just after walking not far away, he happened to collide with a person face to face.

Luo Ning looked at the person who came, and hooked his neck: "Duan Xing, you are from Liangcheng, what happened in such a hurry?"

"It's about Madame, the general has instructed me to report it immediately if there is something!" Duan Xing said eagerly, but Luo Ning's strength was too great, and he couldn't break free at all.

"What's wrong with Madame General? ”

"The emperor said that he would execute Madame in Lingchi, but Madame slipped away under the emperor's nose with the entire Yunwang Mansion. "Duan Xingdao.

Luo Ning was a little dumbfounded. What he thought was impossible, this general's wife really did it!

"This general's wife is really unusual, if you have a chance, you will ...... for a while"

"I'm afraid there is no chance, the emperor is already furious this time, and bought Qi Chongyu with a lot of money, so that he can arrest the general's wife back!"

Luo Ning was also stunned when he heard this: "Qi Chongyu?

"Which other Qi Chongyu is the son of the King of Bohai, if he doesn't inherit the position of the prince, he will be a Jianghu person. He's extremely good at tracking. Alone in the Western Regions, he actually captured the vicious man who was good at disguise and put him to death in front of the victim's family, and since then he has become famous, and countless people want to take it for their own use. ”

"Qi Chongyu has a strange personality and treacherous behavior, and has always only caught the most vicious people, Madame has nothing to do with this, and the emperor actually invited him out of the mountain?" Luo Ning couldn't help asking.

"It's true, our general's wife is in danger now, and I have to report to the general quickly. Duan Xing said as he got rid of Luo Ning's hand on his shoulder and walked towards the camp.

It's just that he hasn't taken two steps yet, and he was hooked back by Luo Ning.

"This matter cannot be told to the general. Luo Ning said.

Duan Xing couldn't help but look at him, a little puzzled: "The general has explained, and Madame's every move must be reported to him......"

"You are stupid, if the general knew that Qi Chongyu had made a move, how could he sit idly by? The general went to save his wife, and when the time came, he would be served by Qi Chongyu. ”

Luo Ning did have some truth in what he said.

"That'...... What to do?"

"Drinking with my brother requires a long-term plan. Luo Ning said, hooked Duan Xing's neck and walked out.

Mingzhou City is 300 miles away from Liangcheng, next to Xichuan, continuing the terrain of Xichuan that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is a strategic place second only to Xichuan.

The winter eyes make people drowsy.

In the courtyard on the second floor of an inn near the city gates, men lay in a languid position on a couch.

The scholar unfolds a portrait in front of the man.

It was a portrait of a young woman, with beautiful eyes, delicate facial features, a smiling appearance that could melt away the cold of winter, and a flattery between her eyebrows.

"Childe, this is your only clue, you should take a second look, catch this vicious woman earlier, and go back to the mountain to practice." The scholar nagged.

Being nagged impatient by the scholar, the man spoke: "What if this son remembers this face? Now that every city is pasted with a portrait of Gu Shuiyue, do you think Gu Shuiyue will still swagger through the market with this face?"

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "What the boy said makes sense, so what should I do?"

"The most taboo thing about tracking a person is to focus on their appearance and age. Qi Chongyu said leisurely, "Whether it is a man or a woman, young or old, the body shape will also change, just look at the bones." ”

"Bones?"

Qi Chongyu got up from the couch and knocked the scholar on the head: "You don't understand." Ben Gongzi calculated the time, and waited for the rabbit - the guard was almost the same. ”

The sound of mourning came from far and near, white paper money fell to the ground, and several people carried the coffin into the city from outside the city.

"The ancestor was born in Mingzhou City, and his only wish before dying was to return to his roots and be buried in Mingzhou City. ”

"Ancestor, you've arrived in Mingzhou City, have you seen it?"

"Go in peace, your sons and daughters have fulfilled your wishes. ”

Those people wept so much that the passers-by couldn't help but stop, look at the heavy coffin, and sigh secretly.

"Childe, what are you doing when you pick up other people's paper money? Dead people's money, it's unlucky to pick it up!" The scholar saw his own son picking up dead people's money, and hurriedly stopped.

Qi Chongyu didn't listen to him at all, not only picked it up, but also put it in his nose and sniffed it. Qi Chongyu sniffed and sniffed, then showed a thoughtful expression, and followed closely behind the funeral procession.

The burial was also buried on the mountain, and the group carried the coffin towards the outskirts of Mingzhou City.

"Everyone is tired, so let's take a break. "The woman at the head of the way.

So it stopped.

The old woman walked to the side of the coffin and tapped her fingers on the coffin board: "We have entered Mingzhou City, but two people have been following us." ”

Two responses rang out from the coffin.

The old woman looked back and saw two figures

"A young boy dressed as a boy with a bookboy. The old woman continued.

The old woman waited for a while, but there was no sound in the coffin.

"Ah Niang, these two people are not good. The young man walked up to the old woman and whispered, "If I remember correctly, that person is Qi Chongyu." ”

When the young man's words fell, the old woman's face changed.

Gu Shuiyue, who was lying in the coffin, also changed.

Now her portrait is plastered on the streets and alleys, and she is rewarded with a lot of money, while the rest of the Yunwang Mansion seems insignificant. So, Gu Shuiyue came up with such a way, she lay in the coffin and entered Mingzhou City with the saying that she would be buried in her hometown after death. This was originally a seamless strategy, but she met Qi Chongyu.

Qi Chongyu, Gu Shuiyue had already heard about it, and Qi Chongyu followed the funeral procession, which showed that he had discovered something.

When several people had different thoughts, Qi Chongyu had already taken the scholar and caught up with the funeral procession.

"Old lady, little master. Qi Chongyu said to them, "I am Qi Chongyu, and I am ordered to arrest the imperial court. You have been inspected, but the people in the coffins have not been examined. ”

Gongsun Lin's body suddenly tensed, and his hand rested on the hilt of the sword, ready to draw the sword at any time.

Qi Chongyu looked at him with a smile, as if he saw something: "Could it be that the things in this coffin can't be seen yet?"

The old lady hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, Gongzi Qi. It's just that the dead are honored, and in this coffin is his grandmother, and this child can't accept it for a while......"

"You sent the funeral, but this paper money was produced in Liangcheng, could it be that you sent it all the way from Liangcheng?" The smile on Qi Chongyu's face suddenly receded, and his expression became cold, "If I can't see it at this time, later, a soldier from the state capital will stop and take a look." ”

"You!"

The old lady hurriedly grabbed Gongsun Lin.

At this moment, the coffin seemed to slide suddenly, making a slight noise.

Both the old lady and Gongsun Lin captured the meaning.

Gu Shuiyue said, 'Open the coffin'.

"Mother!" Gongsun Lin looked at the old lady with a rejection written in his eyes. This trick is too dangerous and too easy to expose......

The old lady pinched the corner of Gongsun Lin's sleeve: "In order to let the old ancestor go on the road with peace of mind, I have broken some people's thoughts, let's open the coffin." ”
