Chapter 7: Perfect Calculation

Walking underwater is not as easy as walking on the ground, and when Fang Qing rose from the river again, it was already another day, and she hid in a clump of aquatic grass and turned her head around.

In the morning light, you can see a bluestone city wall is extremely majestic, directly blocking the line of sight, rough estimates, at least no less than 20 zhang high, and then look into the distance, there is no end in sight, this Shuihe City as the first city of the Wuguo link to the Dajing Dynasty, it seems that in the city defense, it is indeed extraordinary.

If such a strong wall were to be attacked, I am afraid that even if it had ten times more soldiers and horses than the defenders, it would not be able to attack it.

Fang Qing noticed that under the moat used by this Yangque River, the soldiers guarding the city gate were very careful about the people entering and leaving, and it seemed that her idea of blending into this water river city was about to fail.

However, at this moment, Fang Qing's eyes shrank sharply, and he saw from a distance that a large horse team had already dragged more than a dozen carts of goods to the city gate.

The reason why Fang Qing was shocked was because she clearly saw that the leader of this horse team was none other than her father-in-law, Qiao Maocheng, who was only sixty-three years old.

Of course, when Fang Qing was in front of him, everyone called him Qiao Er, and behind his back, everyone called him Qiao Gonggong.

I don't know what this Qiao Maocheng said to the soldiers guarding the city, but after a while, a large group of caravans dressed as people from Bird Village had already entered Shuihe City.

Seeing this situation, Fang Qing muttered: "Even Qiao Maocheng, a eunuch, has come, it seems that before Qiao Maocheng, Mo Yu has sent a large number of people into the city, and if you want to wait for work, you are waiting for me to throw yourself into the net!"

If you don't enter the country of Wu, this radius of hundreds of miles is all within Mo Yu's control range, and we have no place to go."

Thinking like this, Fang Qing had no choice at all, even if Shuihe City was a Longtan Tiger's Den, she could only fight to the death.

However, at this moment, a large number of soldiers wearing silver armor and bright armor ran out of the big city gate hole, with neat military appearances and extraordinary might.

The general at the head rode a white war horse, and the soldiers on both sides just stood still, and the leading general suddenly spoke loudly: "One by one, cheer me up, according to the news, the princess of Jing Dynasty will be as low as our Shuihe City today, let's let the envoys of the Jing Dynasty take a good look at the men of our country, although the territory of our country is not as big as that of Jingguo, but we can't let the officials of Jingguo underestimate us."

Fang Qing, who quietly climbed up from the river, heard this, and the deep eyes that had just darkened suddenly lit up.

According to the memory of her previous life, at this time, the Dajing Dynasty did have a peace with the Uzbek country, because last year, the Dajing Dynasty, the whole country was in a famine, and the emperor Jing Hongyi wanted the whole country to recuperate, and it was not appropriate to have a war with the surrounding ten countries.

She remembers that in the last life, the envoy of Heqin passed by the official road of Que Village, which was around noon today, and if it was a qiē shun lì, it would be almost until about Shen Shi in the afternoon to arrive at Shuihe City.

"Hmph"

Fang Qing smiled coldly, and her cheeks once again hooked a cold smile that made people fearful.

If the ugly man in red saw her smile, he must have known that Fang Qing already had a perfect calculation in his heart.

Immediately, she quietly walked through the grass and retreated behind a bend in the road behind the official road, first rolling dirt on the ground to make herself look very wolf, and then desperately ran towards the gate of Shuihe City.

As she ran, she shouted anxiously, "Help, sir."

The general who was riding a white horse under the city gate saw her appear, his face sank first, and then instinctively looked left and right, and then he began to look at Fang Qing, who was incomparably wolf, he drew the saber on his waist with a swipe, and asked: "Who is coming, this is an important border town of our country, and those who trespass are dead."

"Puff"

Fang Qing seemed to be running too quickly, she fell down with a pop, her body was still unabated, and she directly dragged out a long mark on the ground, which happened to stop in front of the young general's war horse.

Fang Qing said eagerly: "My lord, help, my lord, Princess Renhe met bandits in the Bird Village about one hundred and fifty miles ahead, and that Bird Village is a bandit's nest, they not only robbed the emperor of the dowry to the princess, but also said that they would leave the princess as the lady of the village, my lord, please save my princess."

The young general, seeing that her face was pale, her clothes were soothing, and she was covered in mud, which was exactly what the situation of a weak wolf after a man who had been running for a hundred and fifty miles without sleep.

However, this general is obviously not a person to fool, he thought for a while and said: "You were robbed in Jingguo, why don't you go to Mojin City in front of you to ask for help, but come to my country to ask for help, and how did you get out of the hands of bandits, if you dare to deceive General Ben, General Ben wants your head to fall to the ground"

Fang Qing's neck shrank, pretending to be very scared and responded: "The slave maid is just a palace maid accompanying him, the bandits don't pay much attention to it, passing by Bird Village in the middle of the night yesterday, the slave and maid jumped into the Yangque River under the desperate protection of the guards to escape, accompanied by Dong Daoxiu, Lord Dong said that it is three hundred miles to go to Mojin City, and it is only one hundred and fifty miles to come to you for help, he said that Princess Renhe is a princess and a princess, and the adults know the news, and they will definitely not send troops to rescue them."

"Oh," the young general moved, "Dong Daoxiu? But Lord Dong of Honglu Temple? ”

"It's my lord, you should send troops quickly, please"

Since Fang Qing was able to tell Dong Daoxiu's name, this was a secret, even he only learned today that the envoy accompanying Jingguo was Dong Daoxiu, so from this point of view, this news could not be faked.

Suddenly, the general's face was solemn, and he said: "Come here, order the city defense department to mobilize three hundred fast horses, and rush to the bird village to save the princess, since everyone has asked for such a head, I have to let the envoys of the Uzbek country see how brave and good the men of my Uzbek country are."

"Yes"

In response, a group of soldiers beside him could quickly enter the city.

However, at this moment, Fang Qing screamed violently again, and hid behind the white horse with a very frightened look.

She pointed with a trembling arm in the direction of a person in the city, and said silently: "Ah, my lord, save me, save the slave and the maid, the bandits in their bird village have already arrived in your city, my lord, you must save the slave and the maid, they are here to catch the slave and the maid, and they want to kill the slave and the maid."
