Chapter 179: The Fall of the Golden City (14)
Mu Qing walked aimlessly through the camp for a while, the yellow dust in the distance had already dissipated and landed, she was not very concerned about the army that came out of the camp in front of her head, and the team that quietly came out of the camp in the north of the camp was where her concern was.
Before leaving, Du Ruhui smiled gently, stroked the rough fingers on her face, and Yinghua's crisp laughter, a big red robe, dressed in a silver-white Mingguang armor, and patted her shoulder excitedly, "Sister is waiting here, when we come back, we can go back to Chang'an to hug Shiro." ”
Mu Qing's time stopped in this picture, and he couldn't get out of it. There were still a hundred soldiers left in the camp to guard it, and they were organized into five teams, alternating patrols. Mu Qing walked around the camp indiscriminately, she couldn't figure out what she was going to do, the team left, and there was nothing to do in the camp.
After a long time in a trance, and at night, when there was still no news back, a soldier brought dry cakes, and she sat on a big rock outside the tent, bent her knees, and bothered her cheeks. She took the dry cake and stared at it for a long time, as if she had seen it for the first time, her eyes were focused, but she took two bites with a blank expression, and chewed it a few times seriously, as if this matter could attract her full attention.
Just when Mu Qing's attention was all on this dry cake and he couldn't extricate himself, he suddenly walked quickly from a distance to guard the camp gate and bowed to her, "Mrs. Gu, someone outside the camp gate asks to see you." Said to be Madame's old relative. ”
Mu Qing reluctantly took his attention off the dry cake, frowned and rolled his eyes, meditated for a moment, and shook his head, "What old relatives, but I don't remember, don't put it in the camp." ”
The team was leading the order, Mu Qing still focused on the dry cakes, and she was not curious at all, but it was not that she was unsuspicious, but she really didn't have to be suspicious and knew who it was, thinking that Gu Erniang would follow Xue Jun to Zhedun City, and the person who came to confess her relatives would not be someone else, but the peach lady beside her.
The same thing was said in Jincheng County that day, and now the old trick is going to be repeated, which is to look down on her mind, or to believe that she has already forgotten the pain of losing her son five years ago. Mu Qingwu sneered and smiled, snorted lightly, opened the dry cake in his hand, and went back to the tent to rest.
She took out a small paper bag from the bag she carried, the paper bag was wrapped in a little gold flower powder, she sprinkled the powder in the paper bag into the coarse porcelain bowl, poured some hot water, this thing is not rare in the army, if there is no help from this thing, tonight I am afraid that I will have to constantly imagine the situation before the battle, watching the sky turn bright, this torture she can't afford to endure.
Picked up the bowl and was about to drink, but after thinking about it again, she felt that it was wrong, and there was no news of the front at the moment, if the army turned back in the middle of the night, she would inevitably make a mistake in her deep sleep, so she raised her hand and poured the water mixed with Jinyang pollen in the bowl on the spot, and lay down on the couch with her clothes.
Before he could close his eyes, there was a burst of footsteps outside the tent door, and someone whispered cautiously: "Madame, but you are asleep?" ”
Mu Qing sat up from the couch and walked outside the tent door, still the same team that had come to deliver the message before, and bowed to her respectfully, "That, Madame's old relative, has not yet refused to leave, and has been waiting outside the camp gate, only saying that he must see Madame." Madame, look at ......"
She felt a burst of irritability in her heart, and she wanted to spit out a few words of scolding, but in the end, she was not in accordance with her identity, so the abusive words were only passed through in her heart, and she said to the team: "You wait, I'll go with you to see." As he spoke, he turned around and returned to the tent, took a dark cloak, and draped it over his shoulders to ward off the night wind.
Outside the gate of the camp with two defenses, a carriage with a paulownia compartment wall was parked, and the cold wind blew at night, blowing up the light gold yarn hanging on the carriage, which seemed to be simple, but in fact it was extremely luxurious. The groom who was driving saw that someone was coming with the procession, and turned to the carriage and said a word, and after half a moment, a figure wrapped in a dark cloak stepped down from the middle of the car.
Mu Qing walked out of the first camp gate, and the team was not very relieved, and followed closely behind her. "Who is here to make a fuss? Outside the barracks attack and defense, it is not allowed for idle people to stay. Mu Qing shouted coldly.
The figure under the cloak flickered, and he raised his hand to lift the hood that covered his face back, and the face exposed under the hood did not startle Mu Qing at all, it was the peach lady beside Gu Erniang.
"Tao Niang has seen Qi Niang." She curtsied.
Mu Qingli was motionless in the distance, the light of the torches burning at the gate of the camp was reflected on her face, and she kept jumping, covering all the expressions on her face, and after a moment of silence, she moved the corners of her mouth slightly, and said to the woman coldly: "Since I have seen the ceremony, Tao Niang will go back and bring a good peace to Erniang for me." ”
"Erniang is in the city at this time, not far away, Qi Niang has arrived here, you might as well go to the city to say goodbye." The peach lady raised her chin, bringing up the arrogance on her face, and under the light of the fire, Mu Qing could see it clearly.
She looked at her quietly for a while, and had no intention of talking, so she turned around and was about to go back, and said to the team guarding the camp gate: "Drive away, don't let her wander around at the camp gate, if she still refuses to leave, she should only be shot and killed." ”
The two soldiers took their bows, mounted their arrows, and pulled them all over, and the cold arrows that flashed with sharp light were aimed at Tao Niang and the coachman on the wheel in an instant.
I only heard Tao Niang giggle, "Qi Niang is so ruthless now, no matter if she doesn't want to recognize our old relatives, she just doesn't want to visit, but even Brother doesn't want to visit?" ”
These words were like an iron hook that hooked Mu Qing's ankle, and suddenly hooked her steps back, and she was firmly nailed in place.
"Yu Alang is also living in Zheqi City, doesn't Qi Niang really want to see him?" Tao Niang added softly, but taught Mu Qing to tremble invisibly, and the hesitant look when Du Ruhui asked her if she had news about Yu Li and his wife came to her mind two months ago, and she bit her back molars hard.
"Qi Niang doesn't have to explore the truth of the slave family's words." Tao Niang still smiled kindly, and there was a trace of coldness seeping into her words, "In the end, what does Yu Alang's life and death have to do with me, the slave just ran an errand and came to inform him." Qi Niang doesn't have to believe in slaves, and there is no obstacle with slaves, so she will leave. ”
Mu Qingshu turned around and said in a trembling voice, "I'll go with you." ”
Tao Niang smiled extremely gently, "That's it, Qi Niang doesn't know, I haven't seen you for five years, how much Yu Alang misses." ”
Mu Qing straightened the cloak on his shoulders, walked one wall and turned over the hood on the cloak.
The team guarding the camp gate stepped forward to stop her with a worried face, "Madame really wants to go?" At this time, it seems that it is not very appropriate to leave the camp. Or arrange for a few people to accompany the lady with you? ”
Mu Qing smiled slightly and lowered his voice, "It's okay." "I added another sentence in my heart, didn't His Royal Highness King Qin go to the broken city? Whether he can be safe or not depends on the speed with which he can break through the city.
The team was looking worriedly at the dark paulownia carriage, and took Gu Niangzi, who had been passed on by word of mouth in the camp, and gradually moved away, when a soldier probed and asked: "The lady who came didn't have any good intentions when she saw it, Mrs. Gu is gone, can she be safe?" ”
"It's about the most dangerous." The team replied blankly, although the words in their mouths were dangerous, they inexplicably believed in their hearts that this Mrs. Gu would be able to return safely and without danger as she had been in danger the previous times.
……
The carriage galloped in the night, Mu Qing's hands were hidden under the cloak, tightly gripping the robe, and the moonlight shone into the carriage through the open panes, illuminating half of her face, and the other half hidden in the darkness.
Tao Niang smiled sneeringly: "But seeing a few relatives, how can Qi Niang look so frightened?" If you want to teach Erniang to see it, and when I make my face to Qi Niang, you have to blame me. ”
"Relatives?" Mu Qing laughed out loud, startled Tao Niang, and closed her mouth.
After a while, Mu Qing looked out of the car and suddenly said, "This is not the way to Zheqi City." ”
Tao Niang was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look at the expression on Mu Qing's face by the moonlight, but saw her sitting indifferently like water, and there was no change on her face, Tao Niang frowned, lifted the curtain and leaned out to ask the coachman. The volume of the two was extremely low, and there were still only a few words coming in from outside the curtain, and Mu Qing tried his best to catch a few words, and the words "shallow water plain", "fighting", and "avoiding" popped out of the coachman's mouth.
Tao Niang withdrew into the car, swept Mu Qing's face suspiciously, and sat down again without feeling anything. The war had already started in the shallow waters, so the carriage had to take a detour back to the city? Mu Qing quietly speculated. She just casually reckoned nonsense, and actually set up the current situation, but she didn't expect it.
The tower of the city is heavily guarded, and when Mu Qing looks sideways near the city gate, it seems that the harsh atmosphere of the soldiers coming to the city makes her feel a little relieved, most likely Liang Hulang sincerely surrendered the Tang, at this time he is joining forces in the shallow water to fight against the Xue army, with Erlang's usual thunderous means, he will be able to attack the city in the afternoon of tomorrow, and he only needs to survive tonight and tomorrow noon......
was secretly arranging and calculating, the carriage had stopped in front of a mansion, Tao Niang took the lead to get out of the car, stood by the car and stretched out her hand, "It's here, Qi Niang, please." ”
Mu Qing didn't see her stretch out her hand to help, and got out of the car by herself.
Peach Niang retracted her hand curtly, and whispered a few words to a servant who greeted her, and the maid lifted her skirt and turned around and ran inside. Mu Qing secretly took two deep breaths, stabilized his mind, carefully tucked away all his feelings, and followed behind Tao Niang.
Although it was night, a few steps from the inner courtyard of the mansion was a stone lamp, all of which were burning, illuminating the entire inner courtyard. After walking for a while, Mu Qingfang found that he was not going to the backyard of the mansion, but through the small gate of the courtyard with seven courtyards, the more he walked, the more lonely he became, as if he had walked into another mansion from this mansion, until he passed through the eighth courtyard gate and walked into a small courtyard with messy grass and trees.
There was a room in the small courtyard, unlit, standing in the middle of the courtyard in the dark, lifeless, with a dead silence outside.
groping her way to the door of the hut, Tao Niang stopped, chuckled coldly, and knocked on the door, "The slave has invited Qi Niang." ”R1152
