Chapter 290: The Hidden Spy
The companion took a step closer to him, saw the expression on the guard's face, and continued, "In the camp near the Northlands, it will take only two days...... Useful clues have to be found. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You also heard it, our young master said it very clearly."
The companion emphasized: "When he comes back from the mountains, he will go directly to find the son." ”
His companion reminded him, "Didn't you see the look on their faces after hearing this?" ”
"I don't have a pretty face."
His companion glanced at him and said, "Actually, according to me, they are much more difficult than us!" ”
The guard frowned at him and responded, "Listen to you, it seems to be ...... Makes sense! ”
"That's nature," the companion said in an affirmative tone, "let's go to the mountains, there's a young master here!" ”
"It's up to him to decide how to go on the route, and we're just following it."
The companion reached out and patted the guard's shoulder, and continued, "As long as you and I are on the side and follow tightly, we will complete the task." ”
The companion said in a calm tone: "In my opinion, it is better than the task they have received...... It's so much better! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, we have to hurry back to the house and get ready."
...... When the two of them arrived at the room where they lived in the courtyard, their eyes were suddenly attracted by several companions who were in a hurry not far away.
As they approached, they didn't have time to pause to elaborate, and nodded to each other as a greeting.
The two guards stood in place, waiting for them to walk away and looked at each other.
The guard couldn't help but look at his companion and said, "You're right, people are even in a hurry than us." ”
"You see they're going to have to disperse to the camps soon, right? Don't you have to find out the news? ”
The companion nodded, "That's right, it's just that as far as I know, the camps in the Northland are all in the mountains. ”
"Although they are all near the front-line battlefield, the distance is not too close."
"Especially lately," his companion emphasized, "Especially lately...... I've heard that the road conditions in the mountains are not very good. ”
The companion turned to the guard, and lowered his voice with a somewhat gloomy face: "From Suzhou all the way to the north, there are many landslides along the way. ”
"Since the beginning of winter, it has rained a lot, and now it's snowing season again, so it's hard to put into words...... If you pay attention to their faces...... I said, what else do you not understand? ”
The guard breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth, and said with a hint of happiness in his tone, "You're right! ”
He understood the cause and effect, and the analysis of his companions was reasonable, and he had been convinced, but he felt that the current situation was not bad.
...... The two of them entered the house and immediately began to prepare the items they needed to bring with them.
The room was originally inhabited by three guards, and the other of them was the first to rise today.
Before dawn, he was sent out to the entrance of the town to inspect the situation.
There were only two people in the room at this time.
They usually travel a lot to do tasks, so they pack things that they need to carry quickly.
After a while, the two of them each took a bag and went out to the outer courtyard.
The two of them, who were still talking in a low voice halfway, suddenly heard some noise in the outer courtyard.
They looked at each other again, and their hearts were about to be sent to the camp in the mountains to investigate, and before leaving, they were discussing the relationship between the matter.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the outer courtyard, they heard the news, and they were shocked on the spot.
It turned out that in the middle of the night the night before, the first-line camp of the Wang Division's Northland encountered a sneak attack in an ambush, and several were killed and wounded!
I heard that the escaping spy is coming all the way in the direction of Northland Town!
Therefore, the guards sent to the town to inquire about the news knew that the situation was serious...... When he returned to the courtyard, he immediately reported to his eldest young master.
At this moment in the town, the empress has mobilized more people, and the investigation is extremely strict.
In this way, not only the ordinary people or merchants who enter and leave the town have to delay for a longer time, but also the several groups of people who are about to go out of the town to do tasks have to think carefully about the matter of checking the customs.
It's just one night, and it's different from yesterday.
The guard said with some regret: "It's a pity that we are still a step slower, if we left the town last night before the news came, we don't have to worry about it now." ”
...... The boy came out of the small building in the backyard and strode across the courtyard.
Hearing the chaos at the door, and hearing the chatter of the guards one after another, he suddenly stood still and coughed.
In an instant, the front yard fell silent.
All eyes were on the direction the young man was coming.
He glanced over to see the people in front of him clearly, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”
The guards sent to investigate at the entrance of the town hurriedly replied: "Young master, something went wrong in the Northland military camp last night, and I heard that there was a spy ......."
The guard roughly explained the situation, and the young man frowned and said, "Is there any definite information on the number of dead and wounded?" ”
They haven't received a message from the inside here, I don't know if the news from the barracks has stalled because of this matter?!
Because as soon as there is a spy, the situation becomes more tense.
Everyone in the barracks wants to get rid of the relationship, so they naturally have some concerns, and it is risky to pick a message at this time, and ordinary people dare not try it easily.
If you are falsely accused of being a colleague, wouldn't you be wronged?
Even if it is the inside line of the Yuwen family, it is the same way to deal with emergencies, so the news will be slightly delayed, and it is not as good as being on duty in the area around Zhenkou who received orders directly.
The young man lowered his head and groaned, and the guard beside him immediately looked at him and said, "Young Master, in this way, we have to go to the camp, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." ”
He hesitated, "I don't know...... Can we get in without a hitch! ”
"If something happens right now, it's also an opportunity," the young man frowned and glanced at him, disagreeing, "You can take advantage of the chaos in the barracks, and it will be easier for you to find opportunities." ”
"On the contrary, I am afraid that it will be too calm, so it will be difficult to enter."
"Yes, young master!"
The guard who spoke spoke in a sneering manner.
...... "Spies? According to them, the princess's men? ”
The young man lowered his head and pondered, and the guards in front of him did not dare to speak.
Then he listened to his tone with a little surprise and said: "This matter is still a little strange, if it is really the princess's subordinates...... Not necessarily, in my opinion. ”
The guard hurriedly told the news he heard: "Young master, although the spy was not caught, I heard that the accent of the voice when he ran away was from that side. ”
"In a hurry, it must be the accent that you are used to!"
The guard said tentatively.
The corner of the young man's lips rose and he smiled: "This kind of thing is the easiest to fake!" ”
"If the opponent wants the opponent here to misunderstand, it will definitely be deliberate."
The guard glanced at his young master blankly, and was a little unsure for a while, so he turned his gaze to his companions on the side.
Everyone has their own thoughts, and no one immediately answers for the time being.
The young man's gaze swept over the group of people in front of him again, and said in a cold tone: "The plan remains the same, what should be done and what should be done." ”
The young man stretched out his fingers and rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a bit of tiredness that had not yet woken up: "How to get out of town, you have a long brain, you don't need me to teach you one by one." ”
He turned to the two guards who had planned to follow him deep into the mountains and said, "You two come with me." ”
The three of them rode out of the alley first.
The rest of the guards each had their own way of leaving, leaving it alone.
...... On the mountain road, the guard looked at the young man not far in front of him, turned his head to look at his companion who was riding side by side with him, and said, "At this time, our people should all be out of town, right?" ”
The sky is getting brighter, and it looks like the weather is good, not like it's going to snow.
Luck was good, and the guard secretly said in his heart that if it snowed, then there would be more delay on the road.
Not to mention that they followed their young master for the time being, it would be more difficult for the rest of their companions to rush to the camp in the mountains, but fortunately, God took care of it.
The young man turned around, looked at the two guards behind him who were also riding horses, and said, "Follow closely, there is fog in the mountains, don't fall behind!" ”
The guard met his eyes and hurriedly said, "Young master, don't worry, we won't lose it." ”
The boy snorted in his nostrils, which was considered an answer, and then sped up his horse.
Seeing this, the two guards who followed behind hurriedly sped up to keep up.
The big words are all in front, in case you really lose your own young master, you can't say it!
...... The three of Tianfang are now in a dense forest, and they look similar to the forest that was trapped in the maze before.
The guard was alarmed, and immediately turned to Tianfang and asked, "Lord, we shouldn't be going the wrong way, right?" How do I look familiar? ”
His companion quickly reached out and pulled him.
Unexpectedly, the guard broke free and stood there, his eyes were even more dazed: "Lord, it was very strange when I walked through that forest before, and now we have to go in again, will it be ......?"
His companion looked at him helplessly, and felt the urge to knock him unconscious.
Tianfang was calm, smiled slightly when he heard the words, and swept his eyes over and said, "It's different, the varieties of trees here are different." ”
The companion's back sank in an instant, is this a joke?
He looked at the sky and said, "Lord...... He was afraid of losing too much time and being trapped in the mountains, he didn't mean that......"
Tianfang saw that he was nervous, and his words were intermittent, and then he shook his head and slowed down his tone: "The roads in the mountains look almost the same. ”
The companion cautiously added, "Lord, shall we go into the forest?" ”
Tianfang glanced ahead, and replied simply: "That's right, it won't change!" ”
As soon as he walked in, the light immediately dimmed, and Tian Fang was the first, his speed was not fast, and he left marks along the way, just like the previous guards had done.
It took them about half an hour to get out of the woods, and what they saw was a little different.
Because there was a waterfall blocking the way, it seemed that there was no other way to go.
"What's going on?"
The guard looked at his companion and said, "Could it be that after walking for so long, it is actually a dead end, so where did the secret guard go in the first place?" ”
The two of them looked at the sky together, and saw their master pursing the corners of his lips, and stepped forward to inspect in silence.
The waterfall flows down from the mountain and splashes down the cliff with mist.
This area looks like it is shrouded in a light veil.
The guards knew that the water temperature in the mountain streams in this area was relatively high, and it did not freeze in the middle of winter, which meant that there was a heat source in the ground nearby.
Speaking of which, this strange terrain also exists in the territory of the Sea Country, and the guards have seen it, so they don't think it's too strange.
However, seeing that he was gradually approaching the waterfall, he seemed to be looking for a way out from the edge of the cliff where the waterfall flowed down.
This made the guards feel quite strange, could it be that the passage ahead was still hidden in the waterfall?
This thought flashed through their hearts subconsciously.
After a while, Tianfang turned to look at them, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You two get closer and take a look clearly!" ”
...... Outside the tent, I walked along the path of the camp, still remembering what General Han had told me alone.
In fact, even if he doesn't mention this matter to me, I will definitely not say anything, after all, the war in the north is just around the corner.
Although the man's situation was very strange, as if there was a target against him...... I don't even understand that.
The reason? What is the purpose of the person who is secretly attacking?
At this time, the hearts of the people in the barracks were a little fluctuating, and for General Han, sending that person to the town as soon as possible was on the one hand to divert suspicion from the target.
On the other hand, it also completed the instructions given by the above.
I assured him that there was no danger to his life.
When he arrives in the town, he can be successfully treated, and now he hasn't woken up just because of the residual poison in his body, and I didn't say the latter sentence directly.
I looked down and thought about it, and suddenly I heard movement behind me, and I stood still and turned my head to look.
I saw General Han commanding a tall, burly recruit from the camp, who was carrying the unconscious guy on his back and headed towards the southeast side of the camp.
The area to the southeast of the camp was where the wagons were parked.
Because the tents in the camp are next to each other, it is not convenient for horse-drawn carriages to walk, so to get on the road, you need to go to the southeast side of the camp first.
"Kobayashi!"
Chen Xiang's voice sounded, and I looked behind me to see him come out of a tent and ask me, "You don't have anything to bring?" ”
Chen Xiang looked at me and saw that my hands were empty, and I didn't even have a burden, so I couldn't help but ask in surprise.
I shook my head and said, "Not really, I came here completely out of nowhere." ”
"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have even brought useful tools."
Anyway, I bought winter clothes in the town and prepared medicinal herbs...... The effort has been wasted, and I am still a little depressed when I think about it at this moment.
When I arrived at the camp, the only thing I had was my robe.
The camp handed out one, and I put it on the outside, which is a sign that I belong to the same camp as the big guys right now.
Chen Xiang scratched his head and looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, but don't worry, we can talk about them in detail on the way." ”
"It's going to take some time to get to Northland Town!"
(ps: The release time randomly means that the manuscript is stored and the wood is there, and I have to hurry up and strive to save it as soon as possible!) (To be continued.) )
