Chapter XXXII Conditions for Alliance
After the group made arrangements, they immediately went to Yunxiang Mansion.
Wanrong did not follow, because she was going to the territory of other nobles, it was inconvenient to bring too many troops, so Wanrong stayed to lead the army of the Night Moon Kingdom.
Only 300 soldiers were taken with him.
These three hundred soldiers were carefully selected by the gentle moon and Hong Xiao, and they were the elite of the elite in the two armies, and they were good at all aspects.
Chen Xun, as a rare archer, is naturally among them.
In the past few days, Chen Xun has sought advice from Yunqing when he has time, and his archery skills have also improved a lot. He also became more and more respectful of Yunqing.
After entering Yunxiang Mansion, I found a small town at random and explained the intention. The mayor of that town immediately sent the carrier pigeons.
By the time Yunqing and the others arrived at the second town, Marquis Han Lin's reply had already arrived.
"Lord Viscount, Lord Duke." The mayor respectfully saluted Yun Qing and Yue Qingrou: "Lord Marquis's reply has arrived, he is very happy that the two of them can come, and asks the two of them to go directly to Yunxiang City." The towns along our route will be ready for your arrival. ”
Sure enough, as the mayor said, everyone went everywhere, either the mayor or the city lord, and personally brought people outside to greet them, and the etiquette was very thoughtful.
Yue Qingrou knows that a big reason for this is because of herself.
In the final analysis, although she is not an imperial nobleman, her identity makes Marquis Han Lin have to pay attention to it.
When the group finally arrived at Yunxiang City, Marquis Han Lin brought his son Han Zhen and other nobles in the city to greet him.
"Viscount Yunqing, this must be the Yufeng Duke of the Night Moon Kingdom, the old man is far away."
"Your Excellency the Marquis is gracious. I'm just being hired by Yunqing to help him defeat enemies who want to encroach on his territory. So I'm not here as the Duke of the Night Moon Kingdom. Just as a friend to help. Yue Qingrou spoke before Yun Qing.
"Huh? What do you mean...... You won't take Dragon's Landing County? Marquis Han Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Yue Qingrou.
"Of course not." Yue Qingrou laughed: "Longlin County is Yunqing. If I occupy it, won't it make the world laugh at me for embezzling my friend's territory? ”
"I see. Please, please come in, I've already had a sumptuous dinner for you two to wash the dust. Marquis Han Lin smiled and invited.
Yun Qing approached Yue Qingrou and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"This old man looked at me with obvious hostility, and he deliberately pointed out that I was the Duke of the Night Moon Kingdom, obviously suing me, in his eyes I was an outsider." Yue Qingrou replied, "So I told him that I would only bring troops because of your request." I'm not interested in your territory. ”
After taking the seat, Marquis Han Lin talked about the local people of Yunxiang Mansion and told Yunqing about the food on this table.
Yun Qing gulped down the food in front of him while listening to Marquis Han Lin's explanation. It's just that I didn't listen to a word.
Finally, Marquis Han Lin finished talking about the food in front of him and stopped.
Yun Qing opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Marquis, I think you should also have received a letter from Duke Yun Shan." I don't know what you think? ”
"Of course the old man will not give in." Marquis Han Lin snorted coldly: "When the old man was young, he followed His Majesty to conquer the east and west, destroy the three major kingdoms, and achieve the only empire on the mainland. The only people who owe allegiance are the Great and his approved heirs. What are Liu Xingzhi and Sun Canghai, and they deserve my allegiance to him? Hmph, it's ridiculous. ”
"The Marquis also seems to have received his threat. I think that being the case, it would be better for us to unite and rebel against them. A clenched fist always has more strength than an open fist. As soon as Yun Qing heard the words of Marquis Han Lin, he said in his heart that there was a door.
Marquis Han Lin sighed: "Regarding the matter of forming an alliance, the old man agrees with it very much. It's just ......" said, he glanced at Yue Qingrou: "I don't know who is the main leader of the alliance of your two families?" ”
As soon as Yun Qing heard this, he thought of Yue Qingrou's words just now, and immediately understood in his heart that this old marquis was really worried about Yue Qingrou.
"Naturally, it's me. I'm the commander-in-chief. Yun Qing replied, "Lord Duke is just helping me. ”
"I see." Marquis Han Lin nodded: "I very much agree with the joint mentions. It's just that there are some things in my territory at the moment, and it is really difficult to divide the troops. ”
"What could make the Marquis so solemn?" Yueqing raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.
Yunxiang Mansion is located in the south of the empire, southeast of Longlin Territory, adjacent to the northeast border of the Piaoyun Kingdom, and the border is a mountain range extending from the Canglan Mountains.
Although it is a neighbor of the Drifting Cloud Kingdom, in fact, the Drifting Cloud Kingdom has almost no threat to the Yunxiang Mansion, the towering mountains make it difficult to cross, and there are many beasts there, and there are even many spirit beasts, which is not a good place for marching.
Therefore, it is extremely rare for the Yunxiang Mansion to not be able to divide troops.
"Well, I'm ashamed to say it. In the last few months, there have been more bandits in the southern mountains again, and they even have extremely good equipment, so I have been able to clear them several times without success. Therefore, if I can't get rid of them, I really can't divide my forces to help you. After all, my realm and people are threatened by bandits. Marquis Han Lin replied.
"If we help the Marquis to exterminate those robbers, will the Marquis send troops?"
"Of course. If only the two of them could do it. Marquis Han Lin nodded.
"Well, I'll kill those robbers." Yun Qing laughed, as long as you are willing to send troops. The attacks of the Eastern Navy have been repulsed, are you still afraid that a gang of robbers will not succeed?
Yun Qing then said, "It's just that we didn't bring many troops this time. Therefore, it is also necessary for the Marquis of Han Lin to send troops and horses. ”
"That's nature. I will send 5,000 men and horses to you at your disposal, and let my son Han Zhen be your deputy. Marquis Han Lin agreed with a smile.
Han Zhen on the side nodded at Yun Qing with an arrogant face, and did not speak.
Obviously, he was not convinced by Yun Qing.
Then the two sides had a good conversation and dispersed very late.
The next day, Yun Qing proposed to dispatch, after all, he still had to go to the other nobles to seek an alliance, and there was no time to delay.
More than ten days later, several people rushed to the bottom of the mountain on the border.
"In order to prevent those robbers from descending the mountain to plunder, we have sent troops to station near the villages below the mountains. It's just that several attacks on the mountain have not been successful. Han Zhen pointed to the military camp in the distance and explained.
"Well, let's rest today. I'll go into the mountains and see. Yun Qing looked at the mountains not far away and commanded.
Han Zhen's face changed when he heard this: "No." Lord Viscount, as the commander-in-chief, how can he risk his life? What if something happens to you? ”
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. When I got to the mountains, it was like I was at my own home, and I was afraid that it was the robbers who had an accident. Yun Qing laughed.
"Lord Viscount. I'm here for your safety. Please don't be presumptuous, you are so impulsive for the sake of face, you are not a qualified manager at all. Han Zhen looked dissatisfied.
These words made Chen Xun on the side very dissatisfied: "What do you mean? Lord Viscount is very strong, and he doesn't brag at all. He said it would be fine, but it would be fine. ”
"Hmph, you're from the Night Moon Kingdom. God knows if you're trying to kill the viscount of our empire. Han Zhen saw that it was Chen Xun and sneered.
"You...... What do you mean? Chen Xun was furious when he heard this, he couldn't bear it.
"That's enough." Yue Qingrou ordered to stop: "Your Excellency." You don't have to worry about Yunqing. I will go with him. With my outstretched hand, even if one or two hundred robbers stand in the way, I can bring him back safely. ”
Han Zhen looked at Yue Qingrou, but he had to admit that Yue Qingrou's words were true. After all, he had heard of Yue Qingrou's prestige for a long time: "Since the Duke said so, then I won't say anything." ”
Yun Qing shrugged his shoulders, knowing that he was not convinced by himself, so he didn't say anything more, and walked directly to the mountain with Yue Qingrou.
"It seems that you want to be the commander of the coalition forces, and there is still some trouble." Yueqing pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's no hassle, it's boring." Yun Qing was not worried at all: "For this kind of person, as long as you are better than him, he will die for you." Hey, hey, I've seen a lot of them. ”
He was referring to some of the children who had grown up with him in Fulong Village.
Those children also learned to hunt from Yunqing's grandfather, all of them were good, and their archery skills were exquisite, and no one was convinced at first. But when Yun Qing hunted a giant bear alone that none of them could hunt alone, and showed that it was far beyond their ability, they revered Yun Qing very much.
After the two entered the mountain, they immediately began their body and went to the deep mountain.
After entering the mountain, Yue Qingrou was extremely surprised by Yunqing's flexibility.
It's really like Yun Qing said, the mountains are his home. Yun Qing swept high and low very easily, and avoided the branches flexibly, but the moon soft body method was greatly hindered.
"Judging from the traces of broken grass, it is not an animal that passes by, it should be a person." Yun Qing carefully observed the grass underground, and made a judgment: "Duke Beauty, our goal should be very close." ”
"This ...... Can this be seen? Yue Qingrou looked at it carefully for a long time, but she didn't see anything famous.
Yun Qing sighed and pressed the grass around him to the side: "Now you can see something, right?" ”
Without the obstruction of the surrounding weeds, this moon is soft, but she can see clearly, those grasses bend down, and there are vague footprints.
I really don't know how this guy found these traces in so many tall weeds. Yue Qingrou felt that she couldn't understand Yunqing more and more.
Then Yun Qing continued to find all kinds of indistinguishable traces, and even sometimes he could discern some sounds from the wind, and soon the two came to a mountain road.
"Looks like this is the lair of those guys." Looking at the few robbers who were on guard in the distance, Yun Qing whispered. xh118
