Chapter 609: Rushing overnight
When Cheng Qianxun heard this, he almost didn't jump up: "Say it clearly!" ”
Ragassi said quickly: "King Erica's cousin Akkad wants to seize power, and while King Erica is out hunting, gather a group of people to assassinate him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info King Erica sent people to break out of the siege and came here to report the news, and now King Erica and the people who surrounded and suppressed him are unknown. ”
After Cheng Qianxun was taken aback, he quickly stabilized his heart and asked suspiciously: "It's strange, he was assassinated, why didn't he report to the city, but let people come to me?" ”
"Because the place of hunting is closer to the border, King Erica is also afraid that all the main routes back will be blocked, and you must know that there are only two cousins left in their lineage." Lagassi explained: "The messenger is still outside. ”
"Ask him to come in." Cheng Qianxun stood up and corrected: "Take him to the main hall." ”
The messenger did not care that the envoys and messengers did not have to kneel, but as soon as he came in, he knelt down and cried: "Queen, save our king." ”
"Alright, stop howling!" Cheng Qianxun roared suddenly: "Come and see what position King Erica is in the end!" ”
When this person heard this, he immediately knew that there was a play, so he even crawled over on his knees and looked at the sand table. Because he was in a hurry, his head and face were full of ash.
He wiped his nose and pointed to one place, "Here." ”
"Surely yes?" Cheng Qianxun asked.
"Definitely yes!" The man replied affirmatively, pointing his finger at him, "King Erica has said that they will turn around and reach the border here." ”
"How many of them were assassinated?" Cheng Qianxun asked again.
The man replied, "About a hundred or so men, and King Erica has more than forty with him." ”
After hearing this, Cheng Qianxun immediately ordered Lagassi: "Immediately gather a hundred soldiers, prepare the car, and we will go to the border together." ”
When the messenger heard this, he immediately knelt down with joy and called the queen a goddess.
Cheng Qianxun didn't have time to listen to this, and he couldn't let Legel have an accident, so he hurriedly prepared clothes immediately by the maids who followed the ward, and she wanted to change her clothes.
Putting on a newly-made sexy dress and expensive jewelry, Cheng Qianxun hurried outside.
"Queen, take this, it's cool at night." A maid trotted along with a few sheepskins.
"This can keep the wind and sand out." A handmaiden draped a large piece of linen over her head.
"Queen, you can't go!" The old minister stopped at the gate of the palace with tears in his voice.
"Give me a reason!" Cheng Qianxun was straightforward: "Hurry up, otherwise get out of the way." ”
The old minister hurriedly said, "King Erica is dead, and there is a new one." Anyway, we are the same tribute, the more chaotic they are, the better, what does it matter to us? ”
"Because King Erica owes me a favor, and this time I saved him, and he owes me more. Finally fattened a wolf, so that he was too lazy to attack the prey again, and he couldn't let the fat wolf die, and replaced it with a hungry wolf. That Acre or something... Cheng Qianxun stopped talking, and the messenger next to him picked up.
"It's Akkadian, Queen." The messenger waited respectfully.
"Yes, as soon as that Akkad took office, he didn't know what new tricks he would play." Cheng Qianxun stepped directly on the donkey, and frowned after sitting on it: "Why is it so slippery." ”
Ragassi, who was riding on a donkey next to her, reminded: "Queen, if you need to clamp your legs, I will hold the reins." ”
"Well, where did you go?" Cheng Qianxun seemed to be talking to himself, but someone next to him immediately answered.
The anxious messenger reminded: "What new tricks to play." ”
"Well, what new tricks do you play, such as asking us to take another two thousand five hundred silver coins to honor him or something, do we give it or not? Okay, get out of the way, this city is in the hands of your minister, and I can return to-morrow night!" Cheng Qianxun said to Lagasi: "Go." ”
The old minister listened to the reason, and got out of the way, and said to Lagassi: "Protect the queen." ”
"Yes!" Ragassi nodded cautiously and promised, "If you want to hurt the queen, you must step over my corpse." ”
"Come back early!" The old minister and the minister, the city dwellers were beside them, and they all said that the queen would come back quickly.
So a hundred soldiers, armed with shields and spears, half of them on donkeys, and half on foot, followed the messengers, and set out on their way, and went on their way when it was dark.
Starting from the sun with his back to the west, until the sun went down and the moon rose, he ate casually around the bonfire, and Cheng Qianxun ordered someone to hold a torch and continue to move forward.
The wind was cold at night, and the sheepskin wrapped around the body, but the legs were still cold. In order to hurry, let the donkey walk briskly, and the journey that had been a whole day became a day and a night, and should be there early tomorrow morning.
"Oops, oh~" Cheng Qianxun sat on the back of the donkey and staggered from time to time with a bump, his legs had long lost strength, and the skin on the inner thighs was swollen.
"Queen, let's slow down." Ragassi suggested.
"Leave me alone, go ahead!" She simply leaned down and held the donkey in both hands around its neck.
"Queen..." The person who delivered the letter next to him was so moved that he sniffed: "Now the little one finally understands why the king has been refusing to choose the queen." Having a queen is really a woman who values love and righteousness! ”
"Don't talk, this guy who only makes trouble, I wish he died!" Cheng Qianxun scolded back, in the middle of the night, he didn't lie in the warm sheepskin pile, but ate the cold wind outside.
"Stop!" Ragassi shouted to the team to stop: "Change." ”
Fifty soldiers on donkeys got off their donkeys and got on their donkeys instead of soldiers who had been running with them. It doesn't matter if the donkey runs to death, but the strength of the person can be preserved.
Lagassi got down from the donkey and walked to Cheng Qianxun's side: "The queen turns her body and puts her feet on one side." Trust me, you'll run faster. ”
Cheng Qianxun lifted one leg and put it to the side. As soon as he lifted his legs, he frowned, and his legs were as heavy as lead. Ragasi took a piece of sheepskin, wrapped her almost frozen legs, and tied them with twine, so that they would not get cold.
"You, what are you doing?" Cheng Qianxun was stunned and watched as Lagassi also got on the donkey, sat behind him, held the reins of the donkey with both hands, and shook it violently: "Go!" ”
The team continued to move forward, Cheng Qianxun didn't say anything, she sat on the back of the donkey, and Ragassi's arms were like a fence back and forth.
She smiled and covered the linen over her head. Now her face is very important, and when she meets Regel, she doesn't want to be as disgraced as the person who delivered the letter.
Dawn woke Cheng Qianxun, she opened her eyes, and found that the team was still walking, and she had fallen asleep leaning on Ragassi before she knew it.
She sat up straight and looked left and right, "Where are you?" ”
"Stop!" Ragassi stopped, and the night's running made his voice hoarse and his eyes a little bloodshot. As if relieved, he held the reins and pointed to a clay tablet next to him: "It's here." ”
The one-meter-high clay tablet, like an enlarged clay tablet, is erected on the barren Gobi Desert, with several cuneiform characters written on it, which should be the boundary monument.
"Down!" At the sound of Ragassi, the soldier on the donkey dismounted. He gave another order: "Rest on the spot!" Change shifts and be vigilant. ”
"Why don't you keep walking?" The messenger was very conscientious and anxious to ask.
Ragasi got off the donkey, helped Cheng Qianxun to come down, and handed the reins to the soldier next to him: "If you go over, it will be the Erica realm, and if you lead the soldiers in, you will trespass." ”
"King Erica won't blame!" The messenger hurried.
Lagassi looked at him and asked calmly, "What proof do you have that King Erica will not blame?" ”
It is not known whether King Erica is dead or alive now, and if he dies, then the one named Akkadian will ascend the throne, and then he will use this reason to attack again. At the very least, pressure can be applied to get some benefits.
Cheng Qianxun is also anxious, in case something happens to Regel, she will definitely be sad.
Lagassi pointed to a forest of dates about a kilometer away, which should belong to an oasis: "The terrain there is more complicated, there are many trees, and there is food and water. If King Erica lived, then he would have come from there. ”
Okay, then wait, let's see if Regel makes it out alive.
The sun was gradually rising, and Cheng Qianxun felt that he was drying people under the sun. Ragassi took her to hide beside the boundary monument and followed the back of the boundary monument.
The soldiers, on the other hand, put linen over their heads and hid beside the donkeys. After a night's drive, the donkeys were exhausted, and one by one they gathered together, lying on the ground, panting and resting in the shadows of each other.
"Queen, drink some water." Ragassi poured a glass of water from a pouch into a wooden cup. It is dried by blowing on a lamb's belly and can be filled with at least three litres of water or wine.
After Cheng Qianxun took it, he drank most of it, left a little wipe on his face and neck, and complained: "This guy had better hurry up, otherwise I will die of sunburn before noon." ”
Suddenly, a figure was seen in the distance, and the messenger stood up, stared wide, and ran over. The donkey is tired, and now it is about a few heads that will not stand up with a whip.
It was Regel, who ran out of the sand forest in a state of embarrassment with about twenty people. As soon as they ran away from the woods, they were chased after them with swords and spears.
Cheng Qianxun was anxious and looked at Lagasi, but Lagassi shook his head at her, and then said: "Don't worry, the queen can rest assured, the people chasing them have also run away for a day and a night, and they can't catch up." Let's wait until we catch up! Queen... ”
Cheng Qianxun didn't care, what shit rules, the lives of teammates were the most important, so he immediately pulled out his legs and ran to Regel.
Ragassi could only stomp her feet, draw her sword and shout, "Protect the Queen!" With a hundred soldiers followed, they pursued him.
Running to Regger in one breath, Regel, who hadn't slept for a day and a night, naturally couldn't see where to go. Among the people who followed him, there were also wounded, and they finally ran to the border line while covering their wounds.
"Queen, I knew you would come to my rescue." Regel's face was covered with dust, but his bloodshot eyes were shining, and he was so excited that he was excited.
Cheng Qianxun shook his head at the boundary that was only three or four hundred meters behind: "Go to the back, I'll deal with it here." (To be continued.) )
