Chapter 640: Finding Someone, Finding Someone
"Come back, I order you to come back!" Cheng Qianxun roared loudly in anger, but Lagassi just didn't listen and led people to run towards Nipur. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What to do, what to do? Cheng Qianxun pulled the reins and turned the donkey's head, but was persuaded by the soldiers next to him.
"It's too late for the queen to catch up, so let's go back to Ekashgar according to Lord Ragassi's words." The soldier had a point: "The king of Uruna wants a queen, and when Lord Ragasi says that he is an envoy, he will definitely get out." ”
Ragaszi is still quite smart, and that's all there is to it so far. Cheng Qianxun had no choice but to turn his head and go to Ekashgar.
Slowly returning according to Ragassi's method, a group of about twenty pursuers came out of the woods. At this time, it was already five or six hundred meters away, the night was dim, and the line of sight was not far away.
On one side is a slow walk to Ekash, which is more than half a day's journey, and on the other side is to Urs, and there are caravans in the woods that are ready to return to Ekashh after selling their goods... The pursuers all pursued in the direction of Ragassi.
That's the only way, there is no turning back, Cheng Qianxun can only continue to Ekashgar. Looking back from time to time, I saw that Ragassi and his party had become a small dot, and they should not be far from Nippur, and the pursuers were five kilometers away. Hopefully, he will be able to reach Nipur in time before his pursuers catch up.
It should be almost, Cheng Qianxun gritted his teeth, slammed the donkey word, shook the long tail end of the reins hard, and kept whipping the donkey. The donkey knew that it was going to run faster, and the speed at which the hooves took off quickened. The entourage around him also hurriedly followed, and the group rushed towards Ekash.
When the sun was rising, the soldiers who were standing guard at the gate saw a group of men running in on donkeys. One of them shouted, "The queen is back." ”
The streets immediately got out of the way, and there must have been something big about the queen's haste back.
Cheng Qianxun went all the way to the gate of the palace, and shouted behind the donkey: "Call the messengers, tell them all to come over, a few are a few!" ”
Facing the dozen or so messengers, Cheng Qianxun walked back and forth in front of them despite the fatigue of a night's journey: "Go to Shiguo to deliver a letter, tell that King Uruna, I want his explanation, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer, don't expect me to give him a son, and unite the other three countries to attack him." ”
She pointed to a few of them: "Also, the five of you go to Urs and see how Ragassi is doing, he can't have an accident." ”
The chief maid on the side whispered, "Lord Lagassi's wife heard that she is pregnant!" ”
"Oh my God!" Cheng Qianxun grabbed his hair with both hands: "How do I explain this to her?" Go, go, bring me back Ragassi! ”
The messengers hurried out, mounted their donkeys, and ran out of the gates. The people on the street watched them hurry, kicking up dust along the way. After they left the city gates, they parted ways and went to four countries.
Cheng Qianxun fidgeted, walked back and forth for I don't know how many laps, suddenly remembered something, and said to the maid: "Go out and tell everyone that Lagassi is just going to Urs now, and anyone who talks nonsense will let his wife miscarry, and I will kill him!" ”
"Yes, Queen." As soon as the head maid agreed, Cheng Qianxun felt that it was not heavy enough.
She added the code again: "It's too cheap to slaughter him, slaughter his whole family, if you can't find out, I will kill the people on this street!" ”
Seeing that the chief maid raised her head and looked stunned, she calmed down a little and sat down suddenly: "Lagassi must not be fine, otherwise how can I have the face to see his wife?" Just pregnant, it is easy to miscarry. ”
The chief maid comforted softly: "The queen may have been overly worried, now things are just speculation, maybe not so bad." ”
"I hope so." Cheng Qianxun could only listen to this, otherwise what could she do, could she take her poor three hundred soldiers and go to Rudolph to confirm the situation in Lagassi?
The matter of Lagassi was temporarily suspended, and it was said that he had gone to Urs. But Cheng Qianxun has been fetching water with fifteen buckets in his heart all day long, and he has been peaceful for so long, he is always afraid that something big will happen, and now he is afraid that the gang of guys in the heavenly realm will take Lagassi to open the knife.
Although Ragassi is a person in this environment and she will leave soon, she does not want anything to happen to Lagassi. You can reject him, but you can't hurt him.
After a difficult day, the maid came over and reminded Cheng Qianxun, who was sitting on the mat, with her arms on the clay table, and dozing off with her jaw: "The queen should sleep for a while, she must not have slept last night, and she didn't lie down all day today, and her body will not be able to go down again." ”
"If you can't do it, you won't be able to, if you die, you'll go to the heavenly realm." Cheng Qianxun also knew that she was talking angry, she fell, and she was proud of the group of sanctimonious guys in the heavenly realm.
So she lay down, and the chief maid immediately came up and covered her with a sheepskin.
"Queen, Queen, there's news!" The messenger was about the outside step when the guards began to shout.
Cheng Qianxun sat up immediately, the envoy was able to run back and forth from Urs after a day's journey, and he was already exhausted, and he was dragged in by the guards left and right.
"Yes, yes..." The messenger was weak to remove the cloth bag from his shoulder.
The guards helped take it down and handed it to the clerk next to him.
The clerk took the clay tablet and read it: "The great Queen of Ekash... ”
Cheng Qianxun said angrily: "What nonsense, to the point!" ”
The clerk hurriedly looked at it from the beginning and said, "King Urs said that Lord Lagassi did not enter the city, and he did not know it. He had gathered fifteen thousand soldiers and went to Uruna, and if he passed through Nipur, he would see if Dinipur was besieged. If he is not besieged, he will go to Uluna with him. Reassure the queen that they will rescue Ragaszi. ”
Lagassi did not arrive at Urs... Seeing that the queen did not react, the chief maid stepped forward to remind: "Queen, queen." ”
Cheng Qianxun raised his hand, meaning to stop her, and then said to the messenger: "Hard work, reward you with five silver coins, go down and rest." ”
The emissary, exhausted and barely able to utter the words of thanksgiving, was carried out by the guards.
It seems that Rudolph had planned everything a long time ago, intercepting Ragassi halfway, knowing that now Ekash's donkey is the best. Donkeys from four countries were transported here to be bought and sold, and the donkeys that were bought and replaced were quite powerful.
Cheng Qianxun thought for a while and said, "Call the defense minister in." ”
There are several kinds of messengers, and the one just now is the one who sends the letter, and if you want him to say something, he will go over and say it as it is, which belongs to the work of strength. And the debater belongs to the person who is good at verbal skills!
Looking at the three debaters, Cheng Qianxun smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while." All three of you are said to be the best. ”
One of them said proudly: "I usually go to the market outside the city gate every day, even if I don't need money, I bargain for people." Not to mention the whole of Ekash, there are not many people in Shikoku who can say about me. ”
"I can prove it!" The other said even more proudly: "As long as he participates in the transaction, the businessman on the other side will definitely come to invite me." ”
"It's not business, if you don't say it well, you're dead." Cheng Qianxun said lightly. It is also normal for these ministers to go out to do some private work, what is the use of arguing and touting each other, the important thing is actual combat.
Cheng Qianxun continued to raise the corners of his mouth: "If you say yes, I will reward the three of you with two hundred silver coins each, if you say it is crossed, you better not come back alive, because if you dare to live, I will kill your whole family." ”
The trio had heard about it before they came, and they had guessed that Ragassi should be in danger. So one of them still held his head high and sneered: "Okay, but after we go, Lord Lagassi is already dead, so you can't blame us." ”
But the one who had never spoken fell to his knees, and with a handful of snot and tears saved the person who spoke, and wailed: "You can't say that! I have five children, the youngest of whom has just been born, so I can't live without me. I also have a seventy-year-old mother, who is deaf, dumb and blind, and cannot walk... ”
"Alright, stop acting!" Everyone should know each other, the man smiled bitterly and said, "Keep it for the past." ”
So the man stopped kneeling, stood up, patted the ash on his calf casually, bowed to the queen, and changed his bitter appearance to extremely flattery: "I am willing to serve the queen!" ”
"Good!" Cheng Qianxun likes this, and now he has both soft and hard, and also promised benefits: "If Lord Lagassi can come back alive, you can't come back, and your family can also get money, and give it doubled." Try to let Lord Ragassi get out of the way, and if there is a piece of meat missing, I will deduct the money according to the proportion. As long as he can come back, you will be famous all over the world, and I will make you a gold medal minister, go, I wish you success! ”
At this time someone came to report that King Erica had come with an army.
Cheng Qianxun stood up and went out to greet him.
At the city gate, even at dusk, you can see a wall of people with white flowers in the distance. The soldiers were all dressed in linen, so it was all white, and it felt like they had covered the ground.
Regel came on a donkey, and when he came down, he spread his hands: "My queen, as soon as I got the news, I came with 30,000 people, what's the matter?" ”
Cheng Qianxun first looked at him coldly, then forced a laugh, and walked over with his arms outstretched, and hugged him exaggeratedly and courteously: "My king, you are so good!" ”
Then he let go of his arms and turned to the city: "Come in and eat, dinner is ready." ”
One can imagine what Legel's expression was like, and after a while, Legel chased after him.
Cheng Qianxun continued to order: "All the sheep in the treasury are brought out and entertained by the army from Elika, and they will eat as much as they want to kill." The priestess went to comfort them, and let them rest for a good day, and then they would be plucked tomorrow. ”
Regel waited patiently for her to finish before he said, "So enthusiastic? But it was too fake just now, and I wasn't surprised to see me? ”
"Of course it's not a surprise!" Cheng Qianxun walked towards the palace and said tepidly: "If you don't come, or only bring a few people to come, it will be unexpected." King Erika is mighty and jealous; The national strength is the first, and the soldiers are strong and the donkeys are strong. Look, 30,000 people came with just one word, and I, Ekash, even count the old, weak, sick and disabled, not a fraction of them. ”
Legel listened to it for a long time and smiled bitterly: "Are you laughing at me or complimenting me, but why am I so comfortable listening to it?" (To be continued.) )
