Chapter 349, Persuasion and Help
All the way to the horse, it took only 12 days for Mu Chenxue and his party to arrive at the border pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info After a short rest, with the help of General Cheng, Mu Chenxue already knew the general direction of Nangong Shumo's disappearance. And through his own judgment and guesses, he determined the plan for search and rescue. It's just that she doesn't have enough manpower now, so she asked General Cheng to lend her 2,000 men.
"By no means, the princess is really a daughter, how can she easily take risks. Please trust the princess in the last general, and then send someone to search! "How dare General Cheng let Princess Chengyang go to search and rescue, in case King Chengyang is not rescued, but Princess Chengyang is killed or captured by the enemy, it will be a shame for the Wu State, and it will be his incompetence as the commander-in-chief.
And Princess Chengyang is the emperor's daughter-in-law and the prince's younger sibling. Just looking at the princess of Chengyang coming to the border pass, she took the prince's token, and the guards around her were the people of the prince's east palace, so you can know that the prince attaches great importance to the Chengyang Palace. Therefore, he never dared to agree to Princess Chengyang's invitation.
"Listen to me, old general, I have been studying medicine since I was a child, and I am not an ordinary woman who is powerless. Although I am not completely sure that I will be able to find the King of Chengyang, I can guarantee my safety. And even if the old general doesn't lend me men, I will set off with these guards tomorrow morning. In this way, I have the possibility of surviving, but I am afraid that even ten percent of it will not be available! ā
General Cheng is upright, but he is also the kind of person who holds the defects. For the old general's scruples, Mu Chenxue can understand, but she has already come to the border pass, so she will not return in vain and return empty-handed. Even if you can't find anyone, at least you have to know whether they are alive or dead.
Princess Chengyang had already said that no one knew the princess's determination better than Baoru, so she knelt down directly to the old general, "General, the princess has always been a good person, and she is determined. Now the princess dares to come to the border alone to look for the prince, and she will not just sit in the tent and wait for news. So the slave is willing to ask the old general to fulfill it. The slave and maid vouched for their lives and would escort the princess back to the camp safely! ā
Baoru is just a slave, the master speaks, how can she interject, but she is also anxious, although she knows that her words have no weight, but she still stands up.
"Baoru, step aside!" Mu Chenxue knew that Baoru was for her good, but the person she was facing was an old general, and with Baoru's identity, she shouldn't have spoken at all. "Please also ask the old general to be considerate, my slave was originally a guard of the king of Chengyang, and then followed me, she was also worried about the master, so she offended the old general, and asked the old general to be considerate of her and avoid punishment!"
Even if Princess Chengyang didn't invite her, General Cheng Lao wouldn't really punish the slaves and maids around her, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that Princess Chengyang has already said this to this point.
"How dare you, the last general knows that Princess Chengyang is anxious, this slave is also loyal, and there is no way to blame him. It's just that Princess Chengyang invited her, and it was really difficult for the general to accept it. Even if the last general is willing to agree, but the princess has no command warrant and no military position, how can 2,000 men and horses listen to your dispatch! "You must know that today's defenders are all fighting on the battlefield, and how can they be willing to listen to a woman's orders. General Cheng was only worried that he had lent out this person, but once he left the camp, he would not be subject to military orders abroad, which would not obey the orders, but would hinder Princess Chengyang's decision.
"As long as the old general is willing to lend me people, the others dare not work!" As long as there are people, she has a way to get them to do what they are told.
"Rong Mo will think about it again, ask the princess to rest in the big tent, and will come back to the princess tomorrow morning!" General Cheng still has to discuss this matter with his subordinates, after all, it is not about his life and death.
"Please also ask the old general to hurry up, tomorrow morning in the middle of the morning, I will set off!" There is no extra time to waste. Nangong Shumo has been missing in this mountain range for more than a month, he must have encountered some danger, otherwise with his marching speed, it is impossible to have no news all the time. She decided to stay in the camp for one night because she had to rest, and after entering the mountain, she would only face more hardships and difficulties. In order to be able to find people, and also to be able to keep yourself alive.
"Yes, the last general will definitely give the princess an answer before the beginning of tomorrow morning!" Seeing that Princess Chengyang had no more orders, General Cheng retreated.
Baoru waited until the person walked out, and then stroked the princess and lay down, "Princess, tomorrow the slave maid will bring people into the mountain, you will stay in the big tent and wait for the prince to come back, and the slave and maid promise that the princess will be brought back safely!" "Baoru's thoughts are actually the same as that of General Cheng, she doesn't want the princess to be in danger, even if it is not for the king of Chengyang, but for the sake of the little prince, she wants to protect the princess.
"No, I must go into the mountains tomorrow, even if it is nine deaths. Baoru, I know my husband, and it is even more likely that I will find my husband, this is not that I blindly can! The reason why Mu Chenxue insisted on going was because she had knowledge that these people couldn't surpass, and her understanding of Nangong Shumo.
And she believes that since God has let her travel here, he will never let her watch her lover die in front of her like this. Her hope of surviving Nangong Shumo will increase by one point, but this point may become the key to the matter and a turning point to change her fate.
"Baoru, you go and call the guards guarding outside in, I have something to say!" These people are from the East Palace, and they are Nangong Xun's guards, so she will not force these people to die.
"You can hear what the princess said just now, you decide whether to go or not!" Baoru has never given these people a good face along the way, first, these people have complained all day long, and second, they are not very convinced by the princess.
"Back to the princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered his subordinates to swear to protect the princess, and his subordinates only obeyed the princess's order!" These people are not stupid, the prince has already spoken first, the princess of Chengyang will be born if they are born, and even their families will have to pay for their lives if the princess dies.
"Okay, it's very dangerous to go this way, but as the so-called wealth is in danger, if you can save the king of Chengyang, the addition of an official to the knighthood is just around the corner. This princess also promised you, whether you live or die in this trip, that you will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver each. If the Savior dies, the reward will be doubled, and the mercy will be given to the loved ones. "The most important thing that Mu Chenxue lacks is silver, but these guards are different, they have worked hard for a year, and they are only a dozen taels of silver, and now whether they can come back alive or not, they have at least two hundred taels of silver, which is not a small amount for them.
Even if he died, his family could get four hundred taels of silver, and if he saved some, he would have no shortage of food and clothing in this life. And what impressed them the most was what Princess Chengyang promised, to increase the official and enter the knighthood, if they can take advantage of this, it will be a benefit that they will be guards for a lifetime, and they will not be able to ask for benefits. These people were a little reluctant, but at this moment, they were glad to be able to follow Princess Chengyang to the border. (To be continued.) )
