Chapter 148: The Golden Year of Chang'an (7)
Ada urged the horse, bypassed Fenshui and went out of the city from the north city gate, rushing all the way, not daring to let the horse stop and take a breath, but he still did not catch up with the person who went out to deliver the letter. He didn't dare to stop anymore, and according to Mu Qing's instructions, he went straight south to catch Li Gong's army. I ran out of the road for more than 100 miles in one go, until I saw the huge flag fluttering in the distance, and the word "Tang" on the top flickered.
His heart was hot, and he hurriedly urged two more whips, and the horse under his crotch galloped. The Tang army stopped in place, but did not set up camp, looking at the situation, Ada Zhi's messenger really caught up with the army one step ahead of him, maybe Li Gong got the letter, stopped the team urgently, and was discussing countermeasures.
The foot army at the end of the line was resting in place, and the formation did not disperse. Seeing a horse galloping from a distance, a captain led several soldiers forward to interrogate.
"A certain person came from Jinyang City, and he had an urgent matter to meet General Li and Mr. Du, and I hope you will make it convenient." Ada jumped off his horse and bowed his hand.
The lieutenant looked him up and down, "Isn't it difficult for you, this empty mouth and white teeth, General Li and Mr. Du can see it when they see it?" ”
A fire ignited in Ada's heart, he couldn't bear it, and took two steps forward under his feet, "Foreigners in the army are not allowed to trespass, this rule is known, but if you miss the business, you can't afford to bear the guilt, and I asked this captain to go to pass it on quickly, only saying that Mr. Du's elder followed Ada to see, and someone would summon him." ”
The lieutenant looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly saw the wide knife hanging from his waist, and looked at him fixedly for a moment. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a knowledgeable person, and secretly thought, although this person was vulgar, he was holding the relics of General Changsun. It's not an ordinary one. didn't dare to procrastinate at the moment, so he hurriedly beckoned a soldier and sent him to the front to spread the word.
When the film was not out, the soldier who delivered the message was out of breath and stumbled and ran back, "Quick, the big tent ahead, General Li has an invitation." ”
Ada didn't have time to answer, so he thanked him and left his horse. Quickly run forward.
He ran to the tent. The soldiers of the garrison entered the interior. While the tent was debating, a voice was heard, "The front foot went out of the city, and the back foot taught the men to plunder the city." To retreat. But where do you go back? He vaguely recognized the voice. It was the Pei palace eunuch who was addicted to gambling.
"Since I hit Jinyang City, I haven't thought about retreating." This is Li Shimin's voice, "The flag has been raised." The only way to go straight to Daxing City is to have a way out. If the troops are withdrawn at this time, what face will they have to raise that flag again in the future? Moreover, the Xue family of Jincheng County raised troops at the same time as us, retreated to Jinyang, suppressed Liu Wuzhou, and retreated from the Turks, how much do we have left? At that time, Xue Ju took advantage of the weakness to lead troops to capture the city, but he was also defeated, and Jinyang still had to give it up. ”
Suddenly, the door of the tent was opened, and the guards came out and invited him in. Ada hurriedly entered the tent, and in front of everyone, he told the situation inside and outside Jinyang City.
Pei Lin sighed, "Your wives and families are in the city, how can you abandon the city?" How can the generals outside who raised their heads to fight for the world for the Li family be able to deal with them? If they were taught to know about this, the morale of the army would be discouraged immediately. ”
When she came out, Qi Niang asked, but she said that she had a way to withdraw from the army and was willing to try her best. I only asked Li Gong not to withdraw his troops and return to the city lightly. Ada passed Mu Qing's words over again.
"How can a woman's family do it?" Pei Lin shook his head again and again, "I'm afraid it's overestimated." ”
Li Shimin grabbed Bai and said: "The generals have a small family in the city, and the Li family's family members are also in the city, and now they have made it clear that they will never abandon the city to protect themselves, and swear to protect the people in the city, so why not let Qi Niang try?" ”
"Can she be sure? Will you be able to expel the inmates? Pei Lin raised his voice and fought-for-tat.
Everyone in the tent was silent, and they all turned their eyes to Du Ruhui. But seeing him looking at the tent door in a daze, as if he was wandering outside, he felt that everyone was looking at him, so he smiled back and said lightly to Pei Lian: "Mr. Pei is good at gambling, and he is bitter in the army, so he can't make a show, why don't you take advantage of this to open a pile and make a big bet?" ”
Liu Wenjing, who was standing silently on the side, laughed loudly, "My strategy of betting on Qi Niang is bound to be feasible." ”
"Mr. Liu is so refreshing, but I don't know what to bet on?" Li Jiancheng laughed a few times in a strange tone, "If Mr. Liu loses and goes back to that dungeon, what about it?" ”
Li Shimin smiled and pointed at Pei Lin and said, "What if Mr. Pei loses?" Could it be that he is the head of the master? ”
"Presumptuous." Tang Guogong sank his face, stopped the dispute between the two brothers, and said solemnly to Du Ruhui: "Only give Qi Niang two days, if you can't withdraw after two days, you will withdraw to Jinyang." There is no longer any dispute about this matter. ”
Everyone did not dare to say any more, and went out of the big tent and dispersed. Du Ruhui sent Ada outside the camp, Ada changed a horse, and while he was tidying up the saddle, Du Ruhui asked eagerly: "How is Qi Niang?" ”
"Lady is well." After thinking about it, he added, "Xiao Ah Lang is also good." ”
Du Ruhui smiled with relief and nodded, "You hurry back to the city, don't delay on the way, remember to protect her." Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the flying slave is released to report the news first. If there is any abnormality, I am compelled to abandon ......"
"Ada will protect the lady and go back to Yuhang to hide." Ada was stunned, took Du Ruhui's unfinished words, and waved his hand and smiled, "Ah Lang rest assured, the lady is strategic, how can she be a good fiddler, she said it, the odds of winning will be ten out of ten." After that, he got the saddle and turned over his horse, "Then I went, Ah Lang and waited for the letter." ”
……
The eldest grandson sat in the car, expecting the journey out of the city to be longer, and longer, her nails were separated from the fabric, and she twisted her legs vigorously, and the tingling pain from her legs could not distract from the panic she was suffering in her heart at the moment.
She leaned against the wall of the car, propped up the panes, and looked at the car in front of her, wondering how Gu Qiniang in the car could be so calm. He stared down at the small wooden box in his hand for a long time. The fear in her heart was like a myriad of small insects that gnawed at her at the same time, so dense that she didn't want to jump up and scream all the time.
She couldn't help but reach to her waist and touch the glass vial that never left her body, and the coolness of her tentacles taught her to retract her hand sharply. She suddenly remembered that before setting out for the expedition, Erlang leaned over and stroked the glass vial, and took her hand, although he was stiff and uncomfortable, although he let go of her hand after a breath, but only the warmth of this breath was enough to comfort her for many years of careful waiting.
Erlang's heroic and outstanding figure seemed to be right in front of her, and the momentum of the Xuanjia was like a rainbow, and the wanton laughter seemed to be within reach. The eldest grandson placed the small wooden box on his lap, pressed the box with both hands, and kept whispering to himself, although I don't go to the battlefield, I can fight side by side with him, and I will never lose to anyone next to me.
The road out of the city is always so far that whoever wants it to be longer or shorter, it lies there indifferently, without the slightest change.
After walking for a long time, the sound of the turbulent water became clearer and clearer, and this noisy sound made Mu Qing somewhat calm down. The carriage slowly stopped, and the driver of the car bowed inward through the curtain, "Mrs. Gu, this is here." ”
Ah Liu took the lead in lifting the curtain and getting out of the car, Mu Qing stretched his legs, reached out and stroked his lower abdomen a few times, and while helping Ah Liu's hand to get out of the car, he ordered: "Go and ask your wife to get out of the car." ”
The coachman replied with a "hey", put down his whip and drove to the back.
Mu Qing looked at it, the Fenshui is not wide, the water flow is very fast, the turbulent water is sandwiched with yellow mud rolling stones, complaining that Liu Wuzhou and the Turkic soldiers do not dare to cross the river, if they fall into the water, even if they do not teach the torrent to rush away, it is difficult to ensure that the muscles and bones and heads are not smashed by the mud and stones in the water.
Sure enough, a white tent was erected on the other side, and more than 10,000 troops were seen to be correct. Some of the soldiers on the opposite side had already seen their group, and a few soldiers stopped to pay attention to the overlook, and saw that there were only two carriages, and the entourage and the coachmen were only a dozen people, and they were just ordinary people who were blocked from crossing the river, so they did not feel at ease. I vaguely saw that the woman on the other side was delicate and her face was good, so she immediately pinched her lips and whistled in a good way.
Mu Qing brushed off the white veil on his hat expressionlessly, covering his face, and still stood by the river without moving.
Holding the wooden box in his hand, the eldest grandson slowly walked to Mu Qing's side, and called with a slight trembling: "Sister Gu......"
Mu Qing turned his head, through the white veil, and through the soap veil on the eldest grandson's hat, he couldn't see her nervous expression at this time, but he could vaguely feel that her whole body was trembling slightly. "Scared?"
The eldest grandson nodded frankly, almost speechless.
Mu Qing frowned, according to her appearance, she lost most of her momentum, and then taught the Turks to see what clues, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore. Perhaps, it's time to give her another dose of fierce medicine.
Thinking of this, Mu Qing smiled softly, "Although Mrs. Eldest Sun is smart and smart, she really loses a lot to Yinghua in terms of momentum. ”
The eldest grandson turned his head to look at her, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could clearly feel the thin layer of anger rising from her heart. Mu Qing smiled with satisfaction in his heart, and then said: "Madam also understands that Erlang has always treated Yinghua differently, have you ever thought about why? Just because Yinghua itself is different from other women, others are afraid of her, she can be destroyed in the middle of talking and laughing, such a woman is the most temperamental to Erlang, dare to ask how many there can be in the world, can meet one, and she will not let go. ”
The eldest grandson was silent for a long time behind the soap veil, and then let out a long sigh, "Sister Gu, you don't have to provoke me with words, I know that I am not as heroic and good at fighting as Yinghua, but if you want to talk about helping Erlang, others can do it, as his wife, I will naturally not be weak." ”
The trills in her voice had disappeared, and there was a hint of coldness in Qingyue's voice. Mu Qing let out a long breath, that's right, the heat was just right, so she smiled and nodded at her.
Changsun waved his hand to a guard behind him, raised his hand and pointed to the largest white tent on the opposite bank, the anger in his chest was still burning, "Shoot arrows according to that big tent, and you will be rewarded." ”
As soon as the words fell, a Ming Di with a sharp whistling sound swept across the rushing Fen water, and lightning shot straight towards the big tent. (To be continued......)
