Chapter 170: Border Rush 2
Ming Wu looked at the battle report in his hand, with a happy smile on his face, it only took one battle for them to capture the princess of Ohara Kingdom and the three generals. Let the inevitable great war disappear in the bud.
Ming Wu put the battle report in his hand on the table and asked the soldiers below, "What is the situation at the border now?" Ming Tao: How did they capture the princess of the enemy country? β
"This last general didn't know what to do, only that the princess of the enemy country suddenly appeared in Lord Qiao's room. And when those fake generals saw that Master Qiao was going to kill the princess of the enemy country with a knife, they naturally wanted to come to the rescue. The last one was caught by Master Joe. The soldier recalls the day.
"That's it?" Ming Wu frowned and glanced at the soldier, "You go down and rest first!" After discussing the content of the peace talks with all the adults tomorrow, I will inform Ming Tao and send special negotiators to the border gates. β
"The last will retire!" Hearing Ming Wu's words, the soldier wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and walked out of the imperial study nervously.
"Blessings! Xuan Mukun entered the palace, and I had something important to discuss with him. After the soldier left, Ming Wu instructed Hongfu, who was standing aside.
After all, Ming Tao is still young, and his tone is too petty, and the things he wants have been many times more than the losses in this war, but the war horse wants too little. After all, they have the princess of the enemy country and important generals in their hands, and if it is him and it, they will have to give at least 50,000 war horses.
"Slaves obey!" Hongfu listened to Ming Wu's words, immediately bowed respectfully, and began to prepare the holy decree.
Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao played near the border pass for three days, and they had a great time these days. It's just that when they were playing, they suddenly found that although the enemy army had retreated fifty miles, they had no intention of leaving. Ming Tao soon sensed that something was wrong. Therefore, after meeting with Chang Xiao, they immediately returned to the border city after learning about the specific situation of the enemy army.
"Yun Feng, the enemy army has been standing still, I'm afraid that the situation will change, we better be careful." After seeing Mu Yunfeng, Ming Tao said directly.
"You found out too?" Mu Yunfeng looked at Ming Tao, "Although the soldiers on the opposite side have retreated fifty miles recently, according to their habits, they will definitely not give up the attack easily." It's good that they haven't left yet, otherwise they would have been in danger if they suddenly attacked. β
"Do they know that there are many people on our side who are mobilizing troops and horses? Shall we also prepare some backups? Mu Yunqiao looked at Ming Tao and Mu Yunfeng uneasily. She wasn't stupid, but she hadn't seen real war, and she had no experience in fighting the enemy.
"No, you don't! We will fight them to the death with these 300,000 troops. As long as they can't break through here, even in the face of millions of soldiers, we won't lose. Ming Tao said firmly. Most of the spies here have already been identified by them, and as long as they command them properly, they will definitely not lose.
"They really don't care about the lives of Princess Xinlan and those soldiers in our hands?" Mu Yunqiao looked at Ming Tao and asked puzzled.
"Who knows. Princess Xinlan is too bold, she dares to come to us alone to be an undercover agent, and the marshal behind her doesn't know who Lu Dao is, if that person has a grudge against Princess Xinlan, it is not impossible to get rid of her. Even the armistice peace talks may not have reached their khan. Mu Yunfeng looked into the distance and said helplessly. They were still too naΓ―ve to think that they could win so easily, if it weren't for the fact that they didn't feel right these days, they were afraid that they wouldn't find out that something was wrong until the enemy attacked the city gate again.
"They already know our true strength, what are we going to do?" Mu Yunqiao looked at the two people in front of him worriedly.
"What can we do, since they already know our strength, of course we have to fight with all our might. Tell Chang Xiao later, let them stop hiding outside, and directly bring people to the border city to defend the city together. We have natural hazards here, and they won't be able to attack them so easily. Ming Tao looked at the enemy camp in the distance and said firmly. War is terrible, but as a soldier, he is not afraid of war. As long as the enemy dares to come, he dares to return them with his fist.
"You guys are chatting here, I'll go and see that princess Xinlan, maybe there are other gains." Mu Yunqiao thought for a while and said to Ming Tao and Mu Yunfeng.
"I'll go with you!" Ming Tao said uneasily.
Mu Yunqiao smiled at Ming Tao and said, "No, after all, they are still in our territory, and they don't dare to really do anything to me, but I suspect that Princess Xinlan is not really Princess Xinlan."
"Princess Xinlan is fake? How is this possible? Mu Yunfeng said in disbelief. If this Princess Xinlan is fake, then they actually report her to the court as Princess Xinlan, but they are afraid that many people will say that they lied about the military situation, which is a serious crime. Thinking of this, Mu Yunfeng and Ming Tao were both shocked.
"I'm just suspicious, but I think that even if this Princess Xinlan is fake, she must really be around here, maybe she is in the enemy barracks." Mu Yunqiao stared at the enemy camp in the distance, gritted his teeth and said. It's all because she was too confident at that time, so she was easily fooled. Although they hadn't yet confirmed that this Princess Xinlan was fake, she already felt in her heart that there was something wrong with this Princess Xinlan.
"I'll go with you to see the princess." Thinking of the situation that Mu Yunqiao said, Ming Tao also said uneasily.
"Let's go!" Mu Yunqiao glanced at Ming Tao, stopped talking, and walked directly to her residence here, which was her resting place, and it was also the accommodation she arranged for Princess Xinlan. There are only two women here, her and Princess Xinlan, and she naturally can't let her live with those soldiers.
"General Monta, what are we going to do now? They guarded us so tightly that we couldn't get out of here. Before Mu Yunqiao and Ming Tao entered the room, they heard a conversation coming from the room, and it was a strange woman's voice. Listening to the voice, this person must not be very old. Mu Yunqiao and Ming Tao couldn't help but hide aside and began to eavesdrop.
"Amma, you've been with the princess for almost ten years, and you still don't understand? Now that the princess has returned to the army safely, how can she care about our safety, I am afraid that she is now mobilizing the army to fight again. Monta looked sympathetically at the face in front of her that was exactly the same as Princess Xinlan, she had a pair of ingenious craftsmanship, but she did not have the same smart mind, so she followed Princess Xinlan's side, sooner or later there would be a day of abandonment, but he didn't expect that he would also be abandoned one day. The reason why they were abandoned may have nothing to do with whether they are smart or not, to blame, you can only blame them, knowing that Lu Dao, Xin Lan is a ruthless person, but she has been deceived by her simple appearance again and again.
"Are we going to die here?" Amma asked, looking at Monta uneasily. She no longer has her own home and no relatives, and she doesn't want to lose even her last life.
"If it were you, would you let go of the person who deceived you?" Monta looked at the innocent Amma, sneered and stopped talking.
Maybe death is still the best ending for them. He was afraid that when the time came, they would even die as a luxury.
After listening to Monta and Amma's words, Mu Yunqiao and Ming Tao glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a clear gaze at the same time. Ming Tao took Mu Yunqiao's hand and asked her to leave here with him. Mu Yunqiao looked at Ming Tao and nodded, and left with him.
After leaving Mu Yunqiao's room far away, Mu Yunqiao and Ming Tao slowed down.
"Mingtao, what should we do next?" Mu Yunqiao looked worried at Ming Tao and asked.
"Let's go back and discuss with Yun Feng!" Ming Tao sighed helplessly and said.
From the conversation between them just now, they knew that at first, Mu Yunqiao caught Princess Xinlan herself, and then they didn't know what method they used to get Princess Xinlan out of the border pass, so that these were just some unimportant hostages in their hands, and the Great Plains Kingdom could attack them at any time.
"No, there must be something wrong here." As he walked back, Mu Yunqiao suddenly said loudly while recalling the conversation they had just overheard.
"Is there something wrong?" Ming Tao stopped, looked at Mu Yunqiao and asked.
"If it's you, now trapped in an enemy barracks, how are you going to get out of here without anyone noticing?" Raising his head, Mu Yunqiao looked at Ming Tao and asked seriously.
"There are people here for twelve hours, how can they be separated." Ming Tao didn't think about it and said. If he forcibly kills him, there may be hope. If he wants to leave without being noticed by anyone, even if he is disguised, he can't do it. Besides, for the sake of peace of mind, Mu Yunqiao had already sent the Yi Yang who knew how to change his appearance to a nearby town, and he had no chance to help Princess Xinlan escape from Lu at all.
"That's it, you can't do without it, let alone Princess Xinlan, a peerless beauty. She would be the focus of everyone wherever she went, and how could she leave in such a situation. Mu Yunqiao showed a smug smile to Ming Tao. I want to deceive her with such a little trick, don't even think about it.
"That's right! We almost fell for it, wife, or you're smart! Let's do it! Ming Tao happily kissed Mu Yunqiao on the face.
Mu Yunqiao and Ming Tao have kissed in the wild these days, and the two didn't care about it, but when Mu Yunqiao looked up and saw the stunned soldiers in front of him and Chang Xiao who suddenly appeared in front of them, Mu Yunqiao, who had always thought that he had beaten the city wall, suddenly had red cheeks. She glared at Ming Tao and ran straight into the distance.
Ming Tao looked at Mu Yunqiao's figure running away, not only did he not have any remorse, but he also showed a happy smile on his face. He quickly chased in the direction of Mu Yunqiao, and as for how the soldiers here would misunderstand, he didn't care at all.
Chang Xiao looked at Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao, who had run away together, and couldn't help but show a wry smile. Does he want to help Brother Mingtao and Sister Mu explain? Just when Chang Xiao hesitated, the soldiers actually turned their eyes to the direction outside the wall. Chang Xiao looked at this situation, so he could only touch his nose and leave.
As for explaining for Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao, since the two protagonists don't care, let's leave it to later!
