Chapter 297: The Messenger of the Message
Chen Xiang looked at me and said in a serious tone: "Xiaolin, even if General Gu has doubts in his heart, he can't just arrest people based on the suspicion he feels, right?" β
"I know. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
I nodded, moved to the window, and continued to look outside.
Everywhere the carriage passed, there were large mountains and forests.
It's rare that in such a cold season in the northland, there are still trees in the mountains that do not wither.
I leaned by the window, thinking to myself about the strangers who had been exploring frequently after the earthquake...... To say that they were out playing, in my opinion, is absolutely impossible.
They don't have that much to spare!
If you do, why choose a place with steep mountains in this part of the Northland, and after an earthquake?
However, there should be a lot of people of different races who do business here.
What Chen Xiang said is actually the truth.
Even if General Gu was suspicious in his heart, he suspected that the aliens had malicious intentions.
In the absence of tangible evidence...... She can't just do it.
It's not a joke, if you don't get it right, there will be a dispute between the two sides!
Once the aliens are involved in the dispute, the Empress Sealand will be attacked on both sides and the enemy will be in danger!
There are strangers in the north who covet it, and in the south there is the princess who intends to set up her own door...... None of them look easy to deal with.
Put yourself in her shoes, if I were her, I would have to deal with the current crises, and it would be a big two things!
...... On the mountain road outside Northland, suddenly a horse-drawn carriage appeared from the bend in the col.
At first glance, the car looks ordinary, but upon closer inspection, you will find that some of the details of the carriage are very elaborate and solid.
If someone who knows how to read a car looks at it, they will definitely be able to recognize that the car driving in front of you is expensive.
At this moment, the person sitting in the car slowly lifted the curtain of the car and raised his eyes to look ahead.
The car turned out of the col and was facing the mountain road at the entrance of the northern town.
With a sweep of the wind, the people in the car immediately saw the queue waiting for the investigation at the entrance of the town.
After looking closely, he found that among them were the mountain people who came from the nearby mountains and planned to enter the town one after another...... There are also aliens who look at the dress of businessmen...... In addition, there are many people who can't see the history at a glance.
Some of them are easy to recognize because they are more clearly dressed and can still be identified.
The person sitting in the carriage stared at it for a while, then turned to the other person in the carriage: "The princess specially asked us to send a letter!" β
"But with the token we gave to the coachman, can we clear the customs smoothly?"
There was a hint of hesitation in his tone, and there was a hesitation in his eyes as he spoke to his companion.
...... As he spoke, the carriage stopped on the road, about a dozen feet away from the front line.
It seems that the people who enter the town today are more troublesome than the people who leave the town, and the inventory at the entrance of the town will be extremely meticulous.
The east side was the crowd entering, and the west side was out, and there were long queues on each side.
Especially the queue to enter the town is longer.
The person in the car was silent for a moment after hearing this, then raised his head and glanced at the person who spoke, seeing clearly the hesitation of his companion, he nodded and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, since the princess gave it to us, it should be okay!" β
He paused and said, "Taking a step back, even if it is really intercepted by the guards at the entrance of the town, it will not hurt. β
"Oh, what do you say?"
His companion looked at him thoughtfully, and asked suspiciously.
"Hmm...... In my opinion, I believe that the empress will not want to hold us hostage! β
"As long as the letters you are carrying are not lost."
The man glanced at his companion out of the corner of his eye, and then said in a calm tone, "Empress...... She has the energy. β
The person sitting down the curtain, looked at him and smiled, "What do I think...... Listening to the tone of your voice, it seems that I appreciate her. β
"Yes, if it hadn't been for the incident at the beginning, maybe you and I would be in the king's camp at this moment!"
The speaker did not mince words, and said frankly: "I am telling the truth...... The impression of the empress on me is not bad. β
"This kind of thing is just for us to talk about in private, and remember that you can't say it so aggressively when you get to town," his companion reminded him with a glance, "to address Your Majesty!" β
Listening to the seater, he whispered: "This is nature, haven't you entered the town yet?" So it doesn't matter that much! β
While the two were talking, there was a little wave at the front of the team again.
A closer look showed that there was a mountain man at the front of the group who had become the object of suspicion of the guards who were checking at the entrance of the town, and after asking a few words, the guards immediately took him away.
In this way, the mountain people who are at the back of the queue will inevitably be a little panicked.
Seeing that the people who were being captured were dressed like themselves, many of them looked uneasy.
This scene was also seen by the people in the carriage.
The two lowered their voices and talked for a few moments, and one of them got out of the carriage first, and after a few words to the coachman, he got into the carriage again.
"The most important thing for us is to make sure that the letter can be delivered smoothly to the location of the empress...... I heard that she lives in a house in the north of the town, our news should be very reliable, right?! β
The companion nodded, "I'm sure!" β
"But this matter, can't it be solved by the flying pigeon, why do you have to send us here?"
"You don't understand this, this is on behalf of our sincerity, and we specially selected envoys to deliver the letter."
"It's much more solemn than a pigeon's message!"
...... As expected, the carriage passed through the gate without any problems.
During this period, I also saw several people who were taken away one after another, and they were probably the objects of suspicion.
The coachman drove the carriage to the town, and then walked all the way to the longest street in the town, where the sound of horses' hooves trampled on the ground.
The two people in the car each occupied one side of the window, looked at the scene outside, and put down the curtain after a while.
One of them looked at his companion and said, "It's a rare opportunity to come to Northland Town, it's still early now, why don't we go to a place first." β
The companion withdrew his gaze from the window, lowered the curtain, turned his head sideways, and asked in surprise: "You are really bold!" β
When he heard it just now, he could hardly believe his ears, and asked, "Don't you know that we have the most important mission on our bodies, and we have to go elsewhere first?" β
The man replied with a bitter face, "I know! β
"Although before leaving, the princess told us that this trip is safe, but even changes on the battlefield are inevitable, let alone to the empress's territory!"
"Don't forget that we're going to meet her directly, no matter how good your impression of her is, there's no guarantee that we'll be able to get out."
He said with a hint of worry in his tone: "Besides, if the camp has an accident and is attacked by a sneak attack, maybe people are in a hurry!" β
His companion listened to him one after another, and looked at him fixedly, with a hint of uncertainty about the future in his heart.
So after thinking about it, his companion said with a little helplessness: "Okay, let's say first, we can't stay for more than half an hour, and it's not okay to delay for a long time!" β
"No problem."
"Where exactly are you going in town?"
The companion asked.
The man didn't say it directly, but lowered his voice and said, "You should be delayed when you are in a hurry, don't worry, it will be soon." β
...... The mountain people showed us the way forward, passing through the forest path beside the mountain stream.
He's right, this area is sure to be rarely passed by.
You can see it just by the traces on the road.
If you come and go frequently, you will leave a lot of marks.
But even when we stopped to drink water and rest, we didn't see that there were pedestrians passing by.
Instead, he saw a few of the traps he mentioned in the woods by the roadside.
On a whim, Chen Xiang also went to check if he had caught any living creatures!
It turned out that there was a trap with a living creature in it, and he caught a hare.
When we got in the car again, we continued to walk around the collapsed section of the mountain road towards the main road closer to the town.
...... As soon as I got on the train with Chen Xiang, I first checked the guy lying in the carriage according to my habit.
But after a few times, another thought flashed through my mind.
From what I observed, it seemed that the man in front of me was not just poisoned!
Because according to my control of his symptoms, his current condition is definitely not such that he will not be unconscious all the time.
This means that the person who secretly did it also used other drugs to keep him in a coma, what is the reason?
Was it just to make sure he could leave the training ground of the pioneer camp?
I suppressed the doubts in my heart, turned my eyes to Chen Xiang, who had been staring at me all the time, and asked, "Brother Chen, do you have something to tell me?" β
I looked at me intently as he looked at me, and I couldn't help but ask.
He shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I've seen your pulse cutting action several times just now, and I believe that you still know a little bit of medical skills at this time, but I really didn't think of it before." β
It turned out that he was focusing on this!
I smiled at him and said, "Then can it be fake?" I don't have the courage to deceive the general. β
I quietly looked away from him, and after being silent for a while, I said to him in a relaxed tone: "General Han carries a knife with him. β
Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "Xiaolin, you are quite bold!" At least they stood up. β
...... Passing through a col, I heard the sound of horses' hooves ahead, and a noisy sound, which seemed to be the sound of wheels rolling across the ground.
But it's different from the car we were in.
According to my understanding, it should be a car made by mountain people, walking on the road, and sometimes you will see it.
Sure enough, not long after, I leaned on the window and saw a car coming on the side road ahead.
The driver was a mountain man who was dressed like the one we were leading the way.
The one sitting in the front seat immediately greeted the other side.
The carriage was temporarily parked halfway down the road.
The mountain people got out of the car and walked over, and they stood on the mountain road and said a few words.
...... There was a voice in the distance, and I could hear the conversation between the two of them more or less.
The man who came back in the car had sent someone to town yesterday and stayed at a relative's house in the town for one night.
This morning, he bought some New Year's goods and rushed back in the car.
Chen Xiang looked at the mountain people talking on the mountain road in front of him next to the window, and then looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, I'll go and inquire about the news!" β
Not long after, the car staggered past us, continuing in the opposite direction.
Chen Xiang returned to the car, and I looked at him puzzled.
Later, I heard him say to me: "That person just now has been saying that the investigation at the entrance of the town this morning is very troublesome, and I heard that there is a long queue at the entrance of the town. β
I knew that Chen Xiang went to inquire because the other party had just returned from passing through the town, and he must have known the current situation in the town.
We were locked up in the recruit training camp in the mountains, and we didn't know much about the news outside, especially when the other party mentioned the investigation.
I have the impression that before the start of the Northland War, it seems that it would not be a strange thing to be more rigorous.
It's just Chen Xiang's tone...... I still heard some clues from it.
Shao leaned, I looked at him and asked, "Brother Chen, is something wrong?" β
I can't tell you where the feeling came from, but I just think the mountain people specifically mentioned it...... Not for nothing.
"You're really sharp, Kobayashi!"
Chen Xiang restrained his smile and said, "I heard that last night, there was an accident in General Gu's camp near the Northland battlefield!" β
"Someone sneaked up in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it was a spy mixed in the army."
My face changed, and I immediately asked, "Did the person run away...... Didn't catch it? β
Thinking along this line of thought, I can guess that maybe the direction of the spy fleeing is still to the northland town, otherwise there is no way to explain the reason why the town is investigated!
Chen Xiang stared at me for a few seconds and then nodded, "That's right! β
The mountain man in the front seat heard the conversation in the carriage, raised his voice a little and said, "You definitely don't have to worry about this, it's the people in the army!" β
"It's not like us, if you go into town, you have to worry about being arrested as a suspect!"
The mountain people continued in a depressed tone.
"Fortunately, I only have to take you to the area around the entrance of the town, and don't go to the town, otherwise I have to worry about being wrongly arrested."
"Not necessarily, you don't know the truth, maybe a few of us...... It's all fake, and it's blocked in a while! β
In the somewhat tense atmosphere in the car, Chen Xiang actually made a joke.
"Impossible, who would be so stupid to send it to someone to catch!"
The mountain man muttered in a low voice.
His thinking was very clear, and he knew that a few of us were rushing to the town in a grand manner, and he had specially found someone to lead the way...... Most of the time, there is no problem.
In fact, there is another thing that can dispel his worries, because the direction of walking is completely different.
We came out of the camp deep in the mountains, and the camp of General Gu, who was attacked in the middle of the night, was in the other direction.
The road conditions in the mountains are well known to those who are familiar with the point.
One thing you know is that there is absolutely no time to get around another camp in such a situation! (To be continued.) )
