Chapter 506: In the Desert
The night went well, and as soon as the next day dawned, everyone began to eat, and continued on their way, the weather was a little cloudy in the morning, but it was cool, and according to this pace, we should be able to reach the place where the iron army lived at night.
So they walked more vigorously, and before dusk they saw a lot of wooden houses in the distance, and it was obviously cooler, and there were a lot of flying insects, and there were trees on both sides of the road, and they walked faster.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw an old man in his sixties, with a cane in his hand, and the calf of his left leg was empty, and the old man was followed by two young samurai.
The old man stopped them: "Where did you outsiders come from?" Why did you come into our village?"
For this old man, Feng Yuye has already guessed eight points, I heard my father tell the story of the Iron Army before, there is an old general in the Iron Army, surnamed Jiang, his leg was injured but he did not go to the battlefield, and in the end his calf was not saved.
Feng Yuye hugged his fists and gave a salute: "Elder Jiang, the junior Feng Yuye has something to ask Tie Jun for." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then looked Feng Yuye up and down: "Feng Mengyang's son is so old?" Let's go into the village and talk about it. ”
Feng Mengyang is Feng Yuye's father, and now the king of Zhennan, the old man directly calls Feng Yuye's father's name, it seems that he does have a certain status, and he has a good relationship with the king of Zhennan.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Cover the rainy night and be respectful.
Qin Mengdie didn't speak, and entered the village with Feng Yuye. This village doesn't look very gorgeous, but when you go in, you find that there are a lot of facilities inside, and you can live and work in peace and contentment, and it is harmonious.
The village is an oasis and there is no shortage of water, so it is a good place to retreat.
When you enter the village, you will inevitably pay attention to many people, because not many people usually come to such a hidden village, especially children, who follow them.
With Jiang Lao. They entered a quadrangle compound. After entering the main courtyard, Jiang Lao invited them into the main hall, and Feng Yuye naturally sat in the main seat, and Jiang Lao sat beside him. Sit with him. Qin Mengdie's identity was not asked. Xu looked at a woman and felt a little contempt in his heart.
Qin Mengdie didn't mind, in fact, she knew that the other party guessed Feng Yuye's identity. You should know your identity, but since people are cold to themselves, there is no need to speak, it is not easy for a woman to appear in the army, and people are used to underestimating themselves, not to mention that this time I don't want others to pay attention, so I sit on the side of the rainy night in a regular manner.
A Xiao Si came in and poured tea for everyone, and Jiang Lao said: "King Xiang is going out for the Iron Army this time, I heard that there are rebels on the southern border, I didn't expect it, it was the emperor's son, the original country has just been calmed down, and the coastal country has come again, but the emperor's own son is not well educated." ”
Ordinary people think about it, who dares to say it, now he says it behind the old man's back, in fact, Qin Mengdie agrees in his heart, Mo Wencang just left the original country with others to become a general, presumably even if it is a victory, he is just a person who can get a few cities, and he stands up to the sky as a king, and he has long had the intention of leaving the original country, so Mo Wencang is just a chess piece.
But Mo Wenguang took the initiative to collude with a small country to beat his own son, if this is done, he will take away the position of the emperor, what kind of son is this, it is better to raise a few wolves, and it is a white-eyed wolf.
After all, Feng Yuye is an official of the Great Qianguo, so he can't comment like this: "Old Jiang, now that the war situation on my father's side is in crisis, I am here to ask the Iron Army to go on the expedition." ”
Jiang Lao nodded: "I'm also waiting for the Iron Army to have another chance to go out, especially with Feng Mengyang, our army is ready at any time, and it can set off at any time, King Xiang only needs to hold the blood jade eagle talisman and say the secret words." ”
Feng Yuye frowned: "Jiang Lao may have heard about it, the blood jade eagle talisman was lost, and it has not been found so far, I only have secret words now, I don't know if Jiang Lao can lead the troops out for the sake of his friendship with his father." ”
Jiang Lao seemed a little surprised: "I know that the Blood Jade Eagle Talisman was lost, but I thought you came this time because you found it, but the current army has changed generals, and you know that there are twelve pieces of black jade talisman under the blood jade talisman, and the owner of these twelve pieces of black jade talisman only listens to the leader of the blood jade talisman, so without the talisman, the old man is powerless." ”
Although this answer Feng Yuye had expected it a long time ago, he was still very disappointed now: "Old Jiang, is there any way to do it?" ”
Jiang Lao shook his head: "At that time, it was safe to do this, but now it has become an obstacle, but I really can't do anything." ”
Qin Mengdie didn't want to speak, but now that the battle ahead was urgent, she finally opened her mouth after hesitating: "Elder Jiang, can you take us to meet the owners of the twelve black jade talismans and the soldiers today?" ”
Jiang Lao began to look at Qin Mengdie at this time, in fact, although they live in the desert, the news is not closed, and they also have business dealings with the outside world, so they also know about Qin Mengdie, but they didn't really believe in a woman's ability too much in the past, so they will snub her when they see her today.
Looking at this woman at this time, Jiang Lao's eyes couldn't help but light up, this woman's heroism is definitely not inferior to these men, and she has a degree of advance and retreat, she definitely has the demeanor of a general, can bend and stretch, and is not an idle person.
Jiang Lao stroked his beard: "What do you think?" There was no title, and he still didn't mention his identity.
Qin Mengdie was still very polite: "Elder Jiang, I want to talk to the soldiers about the importance of this battle, maybe they can go out willingly." ”
Jiang Lao shook his head: "The girl is thinking too simply. After listening to Qin Mengdie's words, the old man felt a little contempt in his heart, if he could really say it, it would make sense, then what would he do with the talismans all these years?
Feng Yuye also knew that Qin Mengdie's method was the last straw, since he came, he could only try: "Elder Jiang, just give us a chance, there is no more time on the front line." ”
Jiang Lao thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded with his friendship with Feng Mengyang: "Okay, I'll give you a chance, whether you can achieve it depends on your ability." ”
In fact, this decision is already the biggest concession, which is no longer reasonable, but this pair of young people really makes Jiang Lao like it.
Although Jiang Lao agreed, Feng Yuye and Qin Mengdie's faces were still solemn, and they did say that it was difficult, or even impossible, to move twelve generals holding black jade talismans, because there was one who disagreed, it wouldn't work, and they could only try their best.
