Chapter 242: Childe has an arrangement
I couldn't do anything with my hands tied behind my back, but luckily I could still move my legs!
I came by car all the way, and I was completely awake at this point!
Although I still don't understand the details of this matter, I still feel that I have some doubts in my mind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
How did the kidnappers succeed?
I'm thinking...... In particular, I don't know how they managed to hide from the other people who were staying at the inn last night.
Thinking of this, I was in a trance.
Suddenly I remembered the tsundere boy.
Hasn't that guy always been very sharp?
On my way to the Northlands with him, I encountered several dangerous situations.
In other words, he encountered accidents again and again on the road, and never dropped the chain!
Right now, he doesn't know if he's still in that town?!
...... I counted about a dozen people crowded into the carriage.
Most of them bowed their heads, and their expressions looked a little numb.
Earlier, when we waited for the big car behind as the two guards said, I felt like I was about to freeze!
I occupied a corner of the car that was close to the wall.
There's a good thing about it, at least it's not as crowded and crowded as in the middle.
This time, when I got in the car, my eyes were not obstructed by obstacles.
So I could see the strangers sitting in the carriage who also had cloth stuffed in their mouths.
They look at the difference in age.
Some of them were about my age, and some of them looked a few years older than me.
The sight is a little familiar.
At that moment, I actually thought of my experience in Yannan Town.
That one seemed to be a bit of an experience!
............ After dawn, Mo Yan, who had been in the attic all night, walked outside.
When he opened the door, he saw a light snow outside.
The snow is not big, but it gives a ...... It's colder this morning than yesterday.
Mo Yan saw the attendants walking on the corridor in the distance, and said in his heart that they should also be the people next to the empress.
Those people rarely cross the Jiuqu Bridge to get to the attic location where they are, except to deliver something.
Maybe it was deliberately instructed by the empress, and the idle people couldn't come to disturb it.
There was still thick ice under the Jiuqu Bridge, and Mo Yan secretly said in his heart that the ice here would not melt until after the beginning of spring.
...... Mo Yan, who was standing on the side of the curved bridge and looking into the distance, suddenly heard some movement.
He subconsciously glanced back upstairs.
Ever since Childe moved in, the warm light in the attic has never been extinguished, for the time he has been awake has been indefinite.
The empress came once, but unfortunately at that time, the son happened to fall asleep and couldn't see her.
As a result, she lingered downstairs for a long time before leaving, and Mo Yan believed that maybe the people in the attic might not want to see her.
Of course, the letters were delivered here as always, about the Wang Shi, about the hostile camp, and even some hidden gossip.
The intelligence network is everywhere imaginable.
The attendant who approached under the attic carefully handed the letter to Mo Yan, who came to answer, and even the footsteps were deliberately lightened.
The last time the Dark Guard arrived was last night.
Mo Yan saw the figure passing by, and he couldn't help but step forward to follow him and intercept him behind the attic.
This time, Mo Yan saw that the dark guard did not say anything to dissuade the discussion as before, but just handed over the things he was holding in his hand.
At that time, the dark guard rarely showed a surprised look.
Seeing his reaction, Mo Yan lowered his voice and said, "This time I will discuss with you, or for the sake of the son, do you want to inform the pavilion master?" ”
Mo Yan sighed and said, "There have been a lot fewer veils like this in the past few days, don't get me wrong...... This doesn't bode well. ”
Mo Yan lowered his head and thought about it, and then said to the dark guard: "Because as far as I know, Gongzi must be using medicine, but those medicines are too powerful!" ”
"Dry up and fishing, do you understand?"
The dark guard turned his head to look at Mo Yan, and said in a hesitant tone, "What do you want to say?" ”
Mo Yan gritted his teeth, then he hesitated, looked at the dark guard and said, "Can you leave the Northland with Gongzi when necessary?" ”
"I'm really worried," Mo Yan said in a melancholy tone, "Childe's condition ......"
The dark guard looked at Mo Yan intently, and after a long while, he replied, "Wait a few days, and Gongzi will have arrangements." ”
...... "Is there a new letter from the Northland?" ”
The car was halfway up the hill, and Tianfang was sitting in the car at the moment, looking at the guardroad on the side.
The guard hesitated for a moment, then met Tianfang's gaze and responded, "Lord, no." ”
"We're all heading northland anyway."
The guard said, "Lord, we will probably reach the Northland before dark." ”
The estimated time for the guards is relatively long.
Because the weather didn't look very good, the sky was overcast, and it was cold to the bone, and the wind blew like a knife on the face.
But the driver who drove the car was experienced, and he was wearing thick clothes, hats, and scarves.
Even so, the man in front of him looked frozen enough against the cold wind.
Their car drove all the way from the exit on the north side of the town to the mountains in this area, and they saw several landslides along the way.
Presumably caused by a previous earthquake.
In some places, some evergreen trees were cut down and walked around the outer areas of the landslide.
The guard had thought about driving by himself, but when he saw the situation on the road, he couldn't help but rejoice, but fortunately he still let the driver come.
The locals were obviously more familiar with the road conditions than they were, and they made a point of asking when they hired a car, knowing that this person ran the most mountain roads in the Northland.
Now that he has skilfully avoided the areas of the collapse, he knows that he should not be lying.
...... Tianfang was holding a map of the Northland area in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The guard stared in his direction for a moment, then looked away.
The car was followed by the two wounded Sea Guards.
For they could not delay, and they had to get to the stronghold in the north as soon as possible to heal the remnants of the poison on their bodies.
The other two Tianfang ordered them to leave the town later, and continued to inquire about the news in the town and walk around.
The division of labor among several people was very clear, so after Tianfang gave some instructions, he left the town with two Haiguo guards who had not recovered from their injuries.
In fact, they didn't stay on the road for long.
The carriage continued almost non-stop in the direction of the Northlands.
If the road conditions are relatively smooth, there should be no suspense in reaching the Northland according to the time mentioned by the guards.
If it rains and snows, it's hard to say, and it will definitely be delayed a little bit.
The worst-case scenario is to run into heavy snow on the way, and in extreme cases you may not even be able to walk, or find a place to stay in the mountains for the night.
Anyway, that's the worst thing to do!
Those who guard the heart and follow the Lord to go out will not be too lucky.
Tianfang's gaze never took off the map in his hand, and he looked down intently.
The place where the eye stayed the most was not the Northland Town and the area next to it that was about to be the main battlefield, but the mountains farther away.
Judging from the contents of the map in his hand, there were almost no people in that area.
Because it is an area that is not understood, there are only vague drawings of some mountains on it.
If you look at this map for people who don't know, it is estimated that you will not look at it a few times.
There's nothing to see in that place, and there's nothing worth paying attention to!
The two guards who followed the car took turns sitting next to the driver who was driving the car, so there was only one guard in the car.
His gaze repeatedly swept over the heavens, observing the actions of his master.
Tianfang's attention was focused on the map, while the guard's attention was focused on his master.
The guard secretly said in his heart, he didn't know what suspicious things the lord had paid attention to, so he could see it so carefully.
"The letter to the Northland should have arrived," Tianfang suddenly looked up at the escort who was sitting on the side of the carriage.
"Lord, they will definitely prepare the car with their hearts, and we will see it when we get there."
The guard lowered his voice a little and said, "Counting it, the person we stayed at the contact point in Northland Town has been in place for several years, and this is the first time he has actually taken over the task, right?" ”
Tianfang was silent when he heard this, and only then answered: "Let's prepare first, and then we have to say it if we don't need it." ”
The guard looked at Tianfang in amazement, if his understanding was not wrong, the Lord meant it......
He was tempted to ask more, but Tianfang had already changed the subject.
The topic shifted to the fortifications on Haiguo's side, and Tianfang talked to the guards in a low voice for a moment, and the carriage fell silent again.
The guards looked at Tianfang worriedly, and after a few hesitations, they mustered up the courage to say, "Lord, are you not sure that you can find people in the Northlands or do you think that our people will stay in the town and find out nothing else?" ”
After thinking about it, Tianfang said lightly: "Both." ”
"Originally, I was very sure that I couldn't find it in Suzhou, or I could meet it if I went north."
Tianfang put the map in his hand in the corner of the carriage, looked at the guard, paused, and continued: "I heard a clue on the way, and I followed the possible place to look for it." ”
"But now that we're almost in the Northlands, I'm not as sure as before, and the war is about to start."
Tianfang leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked out through the gap in the window.
He was silent for a while, then turned his head to the guard and continued, "I'm a little uneasy, and I'm also worried that the little junior sister has encountered something tricky on the way. ”
Tianfang frowned, lowered his voice and said: "Although that girl is also clever enough, sometimes she encounters situations that she can't cope with by herself, and there is no one around her who can help, so she ......"
The guard looked down and thought about it, he didn't know how to pick it up, it was to comfort his master, but there was something about it...... It's not appropriate anyway.
Thinking about Tianfang's previous behavior and the meaning revealed between his words at this moment, the guard's mood was complicated, and it was difficult to continue the appropriate response.
So, they could only continue in silence, listening to the carriage climb all the way up the hill through the mountain road in poor condition.
When I came out of the town, there were several cars on the official road at almost the same speed.
They are all a short distance between the front and back, and from time to time there are cars speeding up to overtake.
However, the longer you drive on the official road, the distance between the cars gradually widens.
The fast ones are already at the top of the mountain, and the slow ones are still at the foot of the mountain behind.
And unconsciously, there are fewer and fewer cars that can be seen in the field of vision.
Some walked the trail to the mountains, while others stopped to rest.
The car they were sitting in maintained an even speed, and it didn't stop much along the way.
Probably the driver also felt that the current weather may not be reliable, and was worried that it would rain and snow, so he decided to continue to walk, at least to get closer to the northland.
In that case, even if you are stopped by heavy snow, even if you are walking by manpower, you will not be delayed for too long.
...... "Lord, you look at the map repeatedly, is there something wrong with it?" ”
The guard looked at Tianfang and asked softly.
The latter frowned again, straightened up slightly, and then reached out and rubbed his temples, his gaze once again focused on the spread map.
Tianfang glanced at him, and his tone was faint and he couldn't hear the joy and anger: "In the past, there were continuous mountains in the north, and that area was sparsely populated, so the drawing on the map was very general, and I couldn't see the details clearly." ”
Hearing this, the guard asked in surprise, "Since it is a place that is rarely populated, does the Lord plan to go for it?" ”
"It's not me, didn't I already send a message a few days ago, the ...... from Master Wang's side Our people have seen it in the Northlands. ”
As soon as the sky spoke, the guards next to him immediately remembered.
Not long after the letter was delivered, it did mention that after Wang Shi arrived in the Northland, the people around the Master of the National Teacher had appeared in the town of Northland.
It is said that the man also went to the mountains, but in the end he did not follow all the time.
...... "Are you worried that his people have gone to the mountains, do you have other plans?" ”
The guard looked at Tianfang and hesitated before asking in a low voice, "But you also mentioned that there are really few people going to that area, and it is not the main battlefield of the Northlands. ”
"The boy sent his subordinates to hear the news...... I can't figure it out. ”
Tianfang stretched out his hand and swiped across the map, and when he heard the guard's words, he raised his head and looked at him and said, "Because of this, I'm curious." ”
"People curious about what his people are going to do there!"
Tianfang's gaze had been fixed on the blurry-looking area of the map.
He also knew in his heart that unless he had been to that area in person, he would never be able to see the whole place just by the map in his hand in front of him.
Maybe after arriving in the north, I really need to take a trip to see, Tianfang lowered his head, and said secretly in his heart.
"Lord, are you worried that there will be moths over there?"
The guard looked at the sky and asked in a low voice.
"That's right, I've dealt with that man more than once, and I've always known that he has a different mind than others."
Tianfang paused for a moment, and said in an affirmative tone: "There is absolutely no way he can do this for no reason!" (To be continued.) )
