As if he didn't notice Gemei's strong hostility, Zhong Ziyuan groped for himself to find a corner where a lot of clothes were piled up and sat down, then breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yesterday I rode a horse with your Lord Khan, and my waist was about to break, so it is still comfortable to ride in the carriage." ”

Gemei's hand immediately stopped, although she was arrogant, she was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning of Zhong Ziyuan's words. Gemei carries the hope of the entire Yue Clan on her shoulders, and the Yue Clan is too weak to be her strong backing, and her only reliance in the future is Yelu Tilie's favor.

The Han woman in front of her has whiter skin than hers, more hair than hers, and no worse than hers. The most important thing is that in Yelu Tilie's heart, this Han woman obviously occupies a lot of weight.

Fearing that if her front foot drove her out of the carriage, she would climb on the back of Jerodreeth's horse, a scene that Geme did not want to see. Gemei hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered her hand.

At this time, Yelu Tilie rode to the carriage, and saw that Zhong Ziyuan had consciously climbed into the carriage, he frowned and just wanted to speak. A sweet smile immediately appeared on Gemei's delicate face, and she said, "Khan, the road is bumpy, why don't you let Madame take my carriage!" ”

Although her smile is sweet, but with her red and swollen eyes like peaches, there is a sense of pity that I see. It's a pity that there was no expression on his face, he glanced sharply at Zhong Ziyuan, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage, with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, and only said in a low voice after half a ring: "Gemei." ”

"Yes." Gemei looked at him with sparkling eyes, waiting for his orders.

The corners of Jerodreeth's mouth curled. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and then he said, "Gemei." You're the only one here, my lady. She is just a disobedient slave. Along the way, you have to be responsible for training her well and making her understand her duty as a slave! ”

"Yes." Gemei replied very loudly this time, and her red and swollen eyes shone unusually brightly.

After Jeruthereh left, Kuntie also leaned over. Gemei pounced happily and whispered, "Dad." Lord Khan has already promised me to be his wife. Kun Tie was stunned by this sudden good news, you must know that Gemei and the other sisters are all dedicated to the leaders of the major tribes of the grassland. Although there are a lot of favors, there is no one who can mix with the position of lady at present.

Ge Mei's glamorous little face showed a glint of ambition. She said firmly: "Dad, you can rest assured this time." I have the ability to protect our people! ”

"Good. Okay, it's all up to you in the future," Kun Tie burst into tears with excitement.

Before the father and daughter could finish pouring out their joy, Jeruthereth and his men had already set out.

Tashi watched his lover who was about to leave from afar, and finally couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart and began to sing a sad song. His singing voice is so rough and heroic, and it is also so desolate and helpless.

The carriage staggered forward, and Tashi's desolate singing stunned Gemei, who had been overjoyed. She stroked the flying butterfly hollow silver hairpin in her hand over and over again, and a thousand thoughts appeared in her mind one by one. Her red, swollen eyes slowly became moist again.

At this moment, the cave where Zhong Ziyuan and Yelu Tilie lived. It was finally discovered by two soldiers. After a little searching, they immediately reported to Rongxi. Within two hours, Guo Chengsi also took a team with him, rode a fast horse, and hurried over.

Guo Chengsi flew off his horse and rushed into the cave with a few arrows. Rongxi squatted on the ground, pinching some plant residue and sniffing it under his nose. Seeing Guo Chengsi coming, he immediately got up to meet him, and said with joy: "General, there is finally a clue." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Guo Chengsi asked anxiously: "What are the clues?" Say it. ”

Rong Xi pointed to the ashes that had been burned on the ground, as well as those plant residues, and said: "Look at the thickness of these ashes, they have been burned for at least three days, and there are also these dregs on the ground, in addition to the root root, fine pung, wild ginger, shallots, etc., which dispel wind and cold, remove dampness and relieve pain, as well as Bai Ji, Panax notoginseng and other astringent and hemostatic ones, reduce swelling and muscle." I remember that the Khitan dog thief was not lightly injured, and he had a high fever on the day he escaped, and these medicines must have been brought to him by Dr. Jia. ”

"And these strips of cloth that have been twisted with the dregs." Rong Xi raised the few pieces of cloth that had been torn in his hand, looked at them carefully, and said, "I look, it also looks like something in our army." ”

Guo Chengsi stretched out his hand, took one of the strips of cloth, and groped for it on the tip of his fingers. The slightly rough fabric did feel very familiar to him. He beckoned to a soldier beside him, "Come here." ”

"Yes, General." The soldier saluted and immediately leaned in.

"Take your clothes off." Guo Chengsi ordered solemnly.

"Ahh The soldier was dumbfounded.

Rongxi said impatiently: "Ahhhh The general wants you to take it off, but you don't take it off quickly. The soldier immediately hurriedly took off all the clothes on his upper body, and finally put his hand on his trousers, and said with some embarrassment: "Do you want to take off your pants too?" ”

Rong Xi kicked him hard in the ass and shouted, "Fuck off." The soldier rubbed his head and stepped aside with a smirk.

Guo Chengsi had already picked up the soldier and just took it off, and there was a sour smell of **, which was finely compared with the strip of cloth on his hand. Whether it is from the texture or the color, it is obvious that it is the product of the same batch of goods. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, this piece of fabric is indeed a thing in the army, and it should be left by the Khitan dog thief." ”

Seeing that Zhong Ziyuan still has the heart to treat others, it seems that there will be no danger for a while, and Guo Chenghe's heart that has been holding on to it can be regarded as a little relaxed.

He threw his clothes to the soldier and said, "Alright, put them on!" Then he frowned and said, "The smell of sweat should also be washed." ”

While dressing, the soldier said with a hippie smile: "The general doesn't know, this batch of military uniforms was just issued a year ago, and the Communist Party just changed them twice." During these days, I was traveling day and night, and I really didn't have the energy to wash clothes. Anyway, those little girls always scold us for being stinky men, and I want sweat to smell like sweat. It seems that we are more manly! ”

Rong Xi couldn't help but scold when he heard it: "You say you're lazy, just be lazy!" There are still so many crooked theories. ”

Guo Chengsi's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "You said that these military uniforms, including the middle coat, were newly issued a year ago, and your military uniforms were also made of the same material before." Is it the same style? ”

Guo Chengsi knew that in order to put an end to the atmosphere of corruption and deduction in the army, Zhu Xian appointed a different quartermaster to buy these military supplies every time. Of course, Zhu Xian's idea is good, but each quartermaster has his own chain of interests behind him, so although the cotton, cloth and other things purchased are roughly the same, there will always be some slight differences.

One of his personal entourage immediately stepped forward and said, "General." The subordinates are wearing the same uniforms issued by the army the year before last. After speaking, there is no need for Guo Chenghei to order. And he began to take off his clothes.

After a while, the middle coat with body temperature was in Guo Chengsi's hands. He immediately put the strip of cloth on it and compared it, and Rong Xi also came over curiously to check it together. I don't think I think it is separated, and I put it together for a careful comparison. It is clear that there is a subtle difference between the two methods of weaving fabrics.

Guo Chengsi was silent for a moment. He threw his clothes back to the entourage, and then said, "You all go out, Captain Rong Du will stay alone, and General Ben has something to explain." ”

"Yes." Several people responded loudly, and retreated outside the cave in unison.

Rong Xi was puzzled: "What anomaly did the general find?" ”

Guo Chengsi asked rhetorically: "Do you remember Captain Lu, who was in charge of guarding the Khitan dog thief, but was assassinated by him?" ”

"Yes." Rong Xi nodded and said, "I was cut off my head by them, so ruthless!" ”

Guo Chengsi frowned tightly and said, "I remember that the robe on Captain Lu's corpse was indeed stripped off. But his midcoat is well worn, isn't it? ”

Rongxi thought carefully for a moment. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes, the middle coat on the corpse was soaked with blood, and the brothers who carried him were all covered with blood. ”

"So the middle coat worn by that Khitan dog thief is his own, and it is actually in our army, the new military uniform just issued a year ago, where did he have such great ability? And not only him, but also how did the hundreds of Khitans keep up with us silently? You know, our scout team hasn't stopped exploring. ”

Guo Chengsi slowly pinched the strip of cloth in his hand, because he was too hard, and the back of his hand burst out with earthworm-like green tendons. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "It's a pity that after the scuffle that day, the corpses of those Khitans were not carefully examined one by one, and a large number of clues may have been missed. But now, I can be sure that there have always been people in our army who have been secretly helping them, helping these Khitan dog thieves who have plagued our countless border people. ”

Rong Xi was taken aback, he glanced around, and then lowered his voice and said, "General, you mean that our team is mixed with the fine work of the Khitans?" ”

Guo Chengsi sneered: "No, I can't get the new military uniform that I just issued." In my opinion, it should be in our army, there are unsightly spies hidden, and there may be more than one person. ”

The so-called fine work, at least the Khitans, is a hostile relationship, Rongxi doesn't think it's strange. Because they also sent meticulous work into the various tribes of the steppe. But when it comes to spies, most of them are generals in the army, and they may even be high-level military attachés. Thinking that there were still hidden spies among the brothers who fought side by side, this had to make Rongxi feel worried and afraid.

After Guo Chengsi was silent for a moment, he said: "I'm just a small grain officer, and my subordinates are all mixed into spies and don't know it, but I'm afraid that the old marquis will not be clean anymore." I must tell him about it. ”

Rong Xi also sighed: "That day, we also guessed that it was the Khitan who escaped, and sneaked into the camp at night to save people. I didn't expect it to be the black hand of my own people, no wonder there was no sound at all. ”

"That's not right! I always feel that there is something wrong! Guo Chengsi thought hard about it, and always felt that there were still loopholes in it, but he hadn't found it yet.

Guo Chengsi paced in this small cave with his hands behind his back, and his mind was almost a mess. Suddenly, there was a soft "click" sound under his feet, and he subconsciously looked down, and a half-burned boxwood comb fell out of the ashes. He recognized at once that the rudimentary wooden comb had been sharpened by his own hands for her the night he found her.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he turned back to Rong Xi and said, "She disguised herself and blended into the barracks that day, and even the two of us didn't find out, how did that Khitan dog thief target her, is it really a coincidence?" ”

Rong Xi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "A whole 10,000 soldiers, where could it be so coincidental that they would target Dr. Jia and bully?" That Khitan dog thief must have known in advance that she had a close relationship with the general, so he planned to take her as an important bargaining chip to coerce you. ”

Guo Chengsi nodded and said, "Yes, you think about it again." Her disguise technique is so vivid that even the two of us have hidden it, but there is one person in the barracks who has always known her true identity. ”

"Zhao Yiming." Rong Xi said without thinking: "Only Zhao Yiming has always known her identity. Moreover, Zhao Yiming had just returned to Chang'an City from the border pass, and he had been in the border pass for so many years, maybe he had already been bought by the Khitans. ”

"Let's go, let's go and have a good chat with Dr. Zhao!" Guo Chengsi gritted his teeth and said. He flicked his sleeves and strode out of the cave, flew on his horse, and led everyone to rush towards the Giant Surge Pass.

By the time they hurried back to Juchong Pass, the sun was setting in the west, and golden sunlight was shining through the cracks in the dilapidated roof on a kneeling man on the ground. He still had a white cloth wrapped around his head, hemp rope tied around his waist, and he spoke with fear and trepidation.

Guo Chengsi sat on the chair in front of him, his sharp eyes staring at the top of the head of the person in front of him, and the huge mental pressure pressed the person so much that he couldn't even lift his head.

Rong Xi, who was standing beside Guo Chengsi, frowned and said in a deep voice: "You mean that Dr. Zhao is dead?" ”

After the man kowtowed, he cried: "The villain doesn't know, the morning before yesterday, the master said that he would go out of the south gate to the mountain to collect medicine. At that time, the villain thought that the south belonged to the Central Plains, and there should be no Khitans, so he didn't follow. Who knew that he hadn't come back yesterday afternoon, and the villain was in a hurry, so he called a few brothers and sisters to go to the mountain to look for him. As a result, in a mountain stream, a pair of fresh bones that had been crushed by a wild wolf were found. There was also a bamboo basket and a medicine box next to it, all of which were usually used by the master. I think the master must have encountered hungry wolves and had their bellies filled. Woowoo"

Rong Xi frowned, and shouted: "The great enemy is now, at an extraordinary time, are you so relieved that your master will go out to collect medicine alone?" ”

The man cried and sobbed: "I was not at ease, but that day the little one didn't know what he had eaten, and he always ran away from his stomach." When the master saw that my feet were weak, he didn't let me follow. If the general doesn't believe it, he can go and see the villain's medicine jar, which also has a pair of freshly boiled medicine, which is dedicated to treating diarrhea. ”

Rong Xi leaned into Guo Chengsi's ear and asked, "Do you want to find someone to take a look at his medicine?" ”

Guo Chengsi frowned and said, "No need, there must be no problem with the medicine in the medicine jar." He gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "Damn, it's a step too late." Old thief Zhao must have made a trick to get rid of the golden cicada and took the opportunity to escape. It's a pity that he didn't suspect him earlier, and finally got this clue, but it was just broken. (To be continued.) )
