Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Woods Outside Mojin City
The camp of the Meng family's army, on the Gobi Desert for thousands of miles, the banner hunting, the sound of horns, the soldiers lined up in formation, the roar of the drill was like thunder, Meng Qingshan was dressed in black armor, his eyes were cold, and the raging wind and sand whistled in his ears, and the stones cut his face like a knife, and in three days, the army was about to be pulled.
"General! General Xinghe begged to see you, saying that he had an urgent matter to look for you. The adjutant on the side walked up to the point platform and thought for a long time before he dared to speak.
In this army, everyone knows that when Meng Qingshan orders troops, if someone interjects uninterestingly, it will be a heavy punishment.
However, today's events, Xinghe said very clearly, it is about the princess's period, that is, the general's wife......
"Who?!" Meng Qingshan looked sideways at Jing Ran with a blue face, and asked in a deep voice.
The adjutant was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Meng Qingshan, hurriedly lowered his head, and returned carefully, "General Xinghe, it was said that it was about Princess Wuyang, and he came from Cloud City quickly. ”
Meng Qingshan's face instantly sank even bluer, "Where is the other?" ”
"Already waiting outside your account."
In the tent, Meng Qingshan sat on a tiger skin chair, looking at Xinghe with a haggard face with a fixed gaze, "Don't talk nonsense, when did you come in such a hurry." ”
Xinghe didn't dare to delay, and couriered the letterhead left by Shangqing, "The second aunt in the house the day before yesterday, invited the princess and the third aunt to go to Qingyun Temple to pray and burn incense together, but unexpectedly when the carriage went to the suburbs, we met the robbers of the green forest, we were fighting, the robbers robbed the princess's carriage, and when we found the carriage again, there was only camellia in the car, and the princess ...... But there was nowhere to be found, but Camellia said that the robbers did not take the princess's life, nor did they take money, and saw the princess...... After the bleeding, it disappeared, the princess lit the acupuncture points of the camellia, and left alone, leaving this letter, so that the camellia would be handed over in three days, and I didn't dare to delay, so I sent it overnight. ”
As Xinghe spoke, Meng Qingshan opened the letterhead again and again, and took out a plain paper, the font on it was delicate and familiar, it was Fang Qing's words!
Meng Qingshan's face became heavier and heavier with the lines of juan words, and at the end of reading, the anger in his eyes that could not be suppressed, the clouds of anger were like volcanic scorched rocks, which were untouchable, and he saw a big hand smashing heavily on the case, and suddenly sawdust flew sideways, "Fang Qing!" You mother-in-law! Fooled me again...... Hmph, I want to see if your legs and feet are fast, or my iron-blooded war horse is fast! ”
"General, what did the princess say in her letter?" Xinghe asked anxiously, "There are clues to pursue, General Meng Lao has ordered to make a deal with all the green forest bandits outside Yunzhou City, and be sure to exchange it for the princess." ”
Meng Qingshan squinted at Xinghe and sighed softly, "After running for a day and a night, can you still ride a horse?" ”
"General......" Xinghe licked his chapped lips and stopped talking.
"Anything else?"
"General, my subordinates feel that the princess's disappearance this time is too involved with the second aunt, listen to Camellia's description...... The princess was bleeding from her lower body that day, but I was afraid that the child would not be able to save ......" Xinghe said hesitantly, "Xinghe knows that the big war is coming, and he shouldn't say this to the general, but ...... Generals were born and died at the front, but they ...... Xinghe really can't stand it. ”
Meng Qingshan's eyes were as dark as night, rolling with an unpredictable surging, and the green tendons in his hands burst out, "This matter...... You still need to think about it in the long run, Xinghe, after you go back, stay put, everything is as usual, and wait for my news. ”
"Yes......" Xinghe didn't dare to say more, and walked straight out of the tent, looking at the flag outside the tent rolling in the wind, the huge word "Meng" was impressive thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but feel a cramp in his heart, "Good things are grinding......
Meng Qingshan called Jing Ran, his eyes were determined, "I want to go out, whether it is successful or not, I will be in the army for a day and a night, and you will be responsible for the affairs of this army, do you understand?" ”
Jing Ran looked stunned, "Where is the general going?" ”
"Go and ask for a victory charm." Meng Qingshan's face was expressionless, and he said lightly, "Jing Ran, you have been following me in the army for several years, and you don't know anything about the affairs of the army. ”
"Yes, General, just ...... Do you need to bring a pro-guard? Quietly accepted Meng Qingshan's order, since he was eleven years old, he was rescued by Meng Qingshan from the village plundered by the Southern Widows, and he followed Meng Qingshan's army, practicing military art of war, an orphan had nothing to worry about, but soon became the centurion and thousand-commander of the Meng family's army...... Until Meng Qingshan's adjutant.
Meng Qingshan is very strict with Jing Ran in the army, and at the same time, he is also very trusting, which the entire Meng family army knows.
Perhaps, when a person can trust his life, that kind of strictness will become strict love, after all, every penny on the battlefield will be closely related to life.
Meng Qingshan didn't think about it, so he walked straight out of the tent, "No, let Xinghe go with me, the Bodhisattva can't see our faces of fighting and killing." ”
In the stable, Meng Qingshan's black green horse was enjoying his unique grain and grass, and when he saw the master coming, he hissed and shook off his mane, and came to the master's side to be intimate, Meng Qingshan flew across the back of the black green horse, and flew out from the rear exit of the barracks.
Xinghe, who was following behind, had not yet reacted, and followed behind Meng Qingshan, shouting loudly to resist the wind, "General...... General, where are we going to find the princess, in this direction...... It's not the direction of going to the outskirts of Yunzhou City! The princess disappeared near Qingyun Temple...... Checkmate...... Checkmate! Are you listening to me? ”
Meng Qingshan didn't care about Xinghe's anxiety behind the horse, but went straight to the north, Pegasus ran to the Mojin City that bordered Jingguo, looked at the dark and lush forest, took the reins of the horse, and looked back at Xinghe, who was almost gone.
After waiting for a long time, Xinghe and Ma ran out of breath, "General...... This is the direction of Mojin City! ”
"Why is it so slow?! It's been a long time since I've let you practice riding, and you can't even control the horse? Meng Qingshan looked at the little white good horse of the Xinghe who was out of breath in disbelief.
I saw Xinghe looking wronged and aggrieved, "Young General, you are a black green horse, a thoroughbred horse of the Western Regions war horse, although my horse is good, after all, it is a Central Plains horse, where is it compared to the foot strength of the black green horse!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Qingju turned his nostrils to the sky, stretched out a mouthful of molars, and hissed happily to the sky, and his hooves jumped on the ground twice.
"Look, even people can understand it, this beast understands human nature......" Xinghe patted the mane of the black green horse caressingly.
"Humph! I'm afraid that some people are not even as good as animals, and if I catch you back, you have to put them in a cage! Meng Qingshan tightened the reins, "Xinghe, are you familiar with the forest outside Mojin City?" I have heard people say that this forest, known as the Rakshasa Forest, is easy to enter and difficult to come out, and is a natural barrier on the border of Jingguo. (To be continued.) )
