?

Tianlan habitually began to think about it, tapping his fingers on the table to speculate on the purpose of this mission, but he knew too little information to be sure even if there were a few guesses.

Ye Yi saw him pondering, and interrupted: "Oh, don't think about it." This is the above thing, we just need to do it? Anyway, this time it's an escort, and we don't have to kill people. ”

Tianlan shook his head and said, "You think too simply. If there is no risk, how can they dispatch us? In my opinion, there must be many people in the Blood Sand Pass who have the idea of fighting this batch of goods, maybe it is the army of Qinglong. ”

Ye Yi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It won't be so ruthless, right...... I heard that this mission was assigned by that good old man Guo, so there shouldn't be any risk. ”

"Guo ......" Tianlan heard Ye Yi's muttering voice, and said suspiciously: "You mean Guo Haoze?

He saw Guo Haoze twice more in the past few days, but Guo Haoze seemed to be busy with something, and he came and went in a hurry. After deepening contact with Guo Haoze, Tianlan's evaluation of him should add four words after the original "uprightness", that is, "pedantic and conservative". Sometimes he came up with ideas that he knew were not feasible, but he believed them. For example, when it comes to persuading generals to participate in the war, Tianlan will never do such an impossible thing, but he is happy to do it, because the war costs the people and money, and the army and the people are angry.

Sometimes even Tianlan feels helpless when he speaks, and he doesn't know whether to call him naïve or stubborn.

Ye Yi nodded, smiled, took out two sets of black 'colored' military uniforms from the storage ring, and said, "Look at this! It's a military uniform!" He put it in front of Tianlan, and then 'fiddled' with his own set for a long time, like a child with a toy.

The uniforms in the army are uniform, and the soldiers on the battlefield must wear military uniforms, if it is a close-range combat unit, you can wear uniform armor outside the military uniform, and the long-distance combat arms can generally not wear outer armor for flexibility and convenience.

Tianlan has also done some understanding, the standard of military uniforms is the same, but there is a big difference: ordinary soldiers wear military uniforms are dark red 'color', and the outer armor will be adjusted according to the specific situation. For example, they will wear yellow armor during the day and will easily hide in the yellow sand, they will wear black armor at night and will easily hide in the 'color' of the night, they will wear green armor in jungle warfare, and gray armor will wear gray armor in stone forest warfare, etc......

High-status commanders and generals will wear black 'color' military uniforms, which is the kind that Tianlan gets, and the military uniform itself can protect its 'sex' much better, and more importantly, this military uniform is a symbol of status. Of course, Tianlan and they are not already at that level, but because they are a special squad that requires high secrecy and high 'sex', obviously the dark red 'color' military uniform is not suitable.

Accompanying the black 'coloured' uniforms were a military badge, an identification token and a booklet. The pamphlets are all about general precautions, like the ones for recruits. Tianlan looked at it and put these three things away, and then changed into a black 'colored' military uniform.

He usually wears his white clothes, and rarely wears other styles of clothes, but now he has changed into a black 'colored' military uniform, and his temperament has changed greatly. If he used to be elegant, then now he is less chic and more solemn.

Neatly tying up his long black 'color' hair, he looked at the black 'color' military uniform. Undoubtedly, this dress has the momentum of a soldier, flat and neat, and it is not very comfortable to wear, but it does have the iron-blooded righteousness of a soldier on the outside. There are quite a few small pockets in the jacket for personal belongings. This is for people who don't have storage rings, which are so expensive that mass production is impossible in the military.

The material of the military uniform is also good, and it has a certain defense against swords and spells, and the only drawback is that it is a bit heavy. Tianlan doesn't like bulky clothes, but the weight is still acceptable.

Ye Yi also changed into a military uniform at this time and knocked on the 'door' to come in, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Tianlan rarely change into clothes other than white.

"Haha, it looks good! But, Tianlan, you must not go out in this dress, otherwise the young 'women' in the entire Shaying Pass will be 'fascinated' to death by you, and it will be a sin." ”

Tianlan smiled and said, "How can it be so exaggerated. ”

Not long after he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Luo Yu came over with Guo Haoze. When he entered the 'door' and was about to say hello, he saw Tianlan standing solemnly in a black 'colored' military uniform, and Xuanyuan Luo Yu was immediately stunned on the spot.

Ye Yi has also seen Xuanyuan Luo Yu many times these days, and he is no stranger to it, so he quipped when he saw this: "Take a look." Even the first beauty in Qiyang can't resist your 'temptation' and 'confusion'. You'd better put on your hat quickly, otherwise you'll become a 'young' female 'killer'. ”

Xuanyuan Luo Yu reacted at this time, glared at Ye Yi fiercely, his face was slightly red, and said, "I'm sorry, Tianlan Gongzi, are you free now?"

Tianlan invited them to sit down and said, "Of course I'm free." What is the county lord looking for me?Is it for the goods that will be sent to the Blood Sand Pass tomorrow?" Ye Yi wanted to leave, but as soon as he heard that it was related to their mission, he 'touched' and 'touched' his nose and sat down to listen to what they had to say.

Speaking of business, Xuanyuan Luo Yu also got serious and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Tianlan Gongzi." Yes, for tomorrow's business. ”

Tianlan said bluntly: "I just heard the news, and there are still a lot of doubts. I heard that this task was assigned by Lord Guo?"

Guo Haoze nodded and said, "That's right, it was assigned by Guo." General Tie appointed your team to complete it, which is exactly what Guo wants to see. Actually, it would be nice if General Tie could send all three squads in one go. ”

Tianlan frowned slightly, and said, "Is the situation really so serious?

Xuanyuan Luo Yu said: "This batch of 'goods' is the three hundred prisoners of war of Qinglong. ”

Ye Yigang almost squirted out a sip of water that he had just drunk, his eyes widened in surprise, and he said, "Living?"

Tianlan's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said: "Could it be that this time it is to be a prisoner of war with Qinglong? Can there be important people among the prisoners of war?" However, such 'exchanges' often begin after the end of the war, and rarely before the actual war has begun. Unless there is an indispensable and important person among the prisoners of war on one side......

Xuanyuan Luo Yu said: "There are no too important people among the prisoners of war on both sides of the enemy and us, and we have captured a few 'elite' British generals on our side, but when Marshal Qinglong is in place, these local garrison generals are not so important." Now we have 300 prisoners of war in Qinglong, and Qinglong has 100 of us. This time, the 'trade' is to exchange prisoners of war, and then the Blue Dragon will redeem the surplus prisoners of war with gold, silver and intelligence. In order to show their sincerity, they deliberately chose the 'exchange' location near a warehouse outside the Blood Sand Pass. The warehouse is less than ten miles away from the Blood Sand Pass, and their people can't come in large numbers, and the Blood Sand Pass is our territory, I think, it should be feasible. ”

Tianlan closed his eyes, tapped his fingers twice on the table, felt that there were many suspicious points, and said: "It is very suspicious to 'hand' over prisoners of war before the war. Does the Ninth Prince's Lord know about this?"

Guo Haoze said: "The Nine Princes should not know. Because this news was transmitted directly to me by the lord of the Loess Pass. Although I don't have any power in the army, the prisoners of war are under my control! Guo will go in person and exchange for the lives of my 100 soldiers in Qiyang!"

Xuanyuan Luo Yu nodded again and again beside him, and seemed to agree. Their main purpose was to reduce casualties, and if a full-scale war began, who knows what would happen to those 100 prisoners of war. It's best to take this opportunity to get it back, and maybe make a big profit.

Tianlan pondered for a moment and said, "With all due respect, in my opinion, this matter is inappropriate. ”

Guo Haoze was a little unhappy and said, "What's wrong? Our army is far stronger than Qinglong's current military strength, and it has the upper hand. The other side is willing to pay a high price, and it is in the territory of our army. According to Guo, it is very proper. ”

Tianlan frowned, thinking that Guo Haoze would probably not follow his advice, but seeing Xuanyuan Luo Yu's eager gaze for explanation, he still said: "First, before the war, 'handover' the prisoners of war, if there are no important people among them, why should Qinglong pay a high price for the 'handover' exchange? It can be said that the other party's commander must have some understanding of our side, and he knows that Lord Guo, who controls the prisoners of war, cherishes the lives of soldiers, and will definitely agree." So, this time it is very likely that it is a trap prepared by the other party. ”

Guo Haoze disagreed, and said: "Maybe the other party's commander is also a person who cherishes the lives of his soldiers! You know, we have 300 prisoners of war! They only have 100 prisoners of war, and their lives are priceless, and they have earned them." ”

Xuanyuan Luo Yu hesitated and said, "Maybe...... What about important people among the prisoners of war that we haven't noticed yet?"

Tianlan nodded: "This is also possible." The second suspicion is their location. Near the Blood Sand Pass. Generally speaking, for the sake of safety, they should be set in a place not far from the Loess Pass and the Xuesha Pass, so why should they be set in the territory of Qiyang? This time it was a secret 'exchange', and the Nine Princes did not know about it, so they would not make a big fuss. They only sent a small number of people to come and 'trade' it, which was feasible. But in exchange for 300 prisoners of war, this is a vast 'swing' and 'swing' of a convoy, how can they hide their whereabouts? How can they leave the pursuit of the Blood Sand Pass?"

Guo Haoze said: "Guo promised them this point, and he would let them leave." ”

Tianlan shook his head, a little helpless, thinking to himself that you are a powerless and powerless civil official, what is the use of the guarantee you make? The generals of the other party have been fighting with Qiyang for so many years, how can they not know the twists and turns? How can you rest assured that you can come to Qiyang with a large amount of property, isn't this a death?

He continued: "The third suspicion is on the side of the Nine Princes. Although Tianlan didn't witness the demeanor of the Nine Princes with his own eyes, he also understood that not to mention the Shaying Pass, the entire battle situation was under his control. And your message, Lord Guo...... Since it can be passed on to you, there is no reason why the Nine Princes would not know. So ......"
