Chapter 129: Searching for Souls, Searching for Blood, Undoubted
The next day, in the Shangzhou military camp, Xiang Mo and General Li left the military camp with their subordinates and drove to the places where they were about to go.
All of a sudden, the barracks was originally full of soldiers, but there was less strength of the two armies and one division, and it seemed less crowded, and Zhou Dunyi also rode out of the barracks with some senior officers in the army at this time, and followed according to the marks left by General Li on the road.
After noon, the barracks, which was originally inhabited by 42,000 troops, became empty, and the follow-up troops who were responsible for transporting grain and grass had only recently caught up with the advance troops led by Zhou Dunyi.
After all, if you want to take the lead in breaking the delicate relationship between the two countries during this period before the Dongxun Empire, and cross the most marginal limit of Shangzhou, that is, you will reach the territory of the Dongxun Empire.
"War master, we have such a mighty march, even if we gather momentum after crossing the border line, but there are many people, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be inquired about the whereabouts of our army by the Dongxun reconnaissance troops, don't you worry at all, military master?"
The reckless officer scratched his scalp, drove his horse to Zhou Dunyi's halfway body, poked his head out and asked Zhou Dunyi.
"After entering the territory of Dongxun, the army is divided into an army as an independent formation, each army is ten miles apart, if the Dongxun reconnaissance force wants to find the traces of our army so quickly, only the cavalry reconnaissance team can do it, but the only thing in the cavalry team of the Dongxun reconnaissance force that worries the commander has been wiped out under the rain of arrows before the war, so General Niu and relax, the commander has his own arrangements."
The corners of Zhou Dunyi's mouth rose slightly, he actually wanted to catch Dongxun off guard this time, so that the young man in Dongxun knew what it meant to be a soldier and not get tired of cheating, but Dongxun had harvested a lot of excellent war horses from the battlefield of the northern barbarians over the years, and the news that Kumu had sent back from them was that there were about 1,000 cavalry reconnaissance teams in the Dongxun Forbidden Army.
A few days ago, the reason why he spent a lot of time chasing and intercepting the cavalry reconnaissance team was that he wanted to fight the grass and surprise the snake, and in the information sent back by Kumu, the cavalry detachments in these Dongxun forbidden army were all famous children of Dongxun who held important positions, and they only needed to catch a random killing, then it would inevitably arouse Shen Baoxu's vigilance, and in this case, the reconnaissance team of the Dongxun military would definitely strictly investigate the border between the two countries.
He crossed the border rashly this time, and he didn't worry about being found out at all, but Zhou Dunyi was afraid that the soldiers and dolls in Dongxun would not find them.
Because only when their traces were discovered, Zhou Dunyi's plan could continue.
said to this general Niu that this is the main reason why Zhou Dunyi doesn't want his plan to be revealed too early, the ghost knows how many spies the Dongxun military has planted in the army under his command, and if he is not careful, his plan may be known by those spies.
Where can General Niu see this, he believed what Zhou Wangye said anyway, and then couldn't help but say to Zhou Dunyi with some admiration
"It's worthy of being a military master, it's really not something that a reckless man like me can imagine, admire and admire."
Zhou Dunyi smiled, then turned his head to look at the Niu general, and commanded softly
"General Niu, do you know who the commander of the Dongxun army we are facing this time is?"
General Niu shook his head sullenly, for this question, he was a little confused, he is a reckless man, if you ask him Xikun and the army commanders of other countries, he can still guess a few names, but Dongxun's words, it is purely a question and three do not know, after all, he has not fought with the Dongxun army once in his lifetime, as for the rumors, he has never heard a single case about Dongxun's generals or anything.
"That's okay, General Niu, Ben Shuai just wanted to ask from your mouth what you think of the Dongxun army."
Zhou Dunyi's face remained unchanged, but the hand holding the horsewhip trembled slightly.
General Niu still looked so honest, shook his head again, the Dongxun army asked him what was really nothing to say, seeing General Niu like this, Zhou Dunyi also smiled, and then turned his head and continued to drive the horse thoughtfully.
In the rear of the army, General Huang glanced at Zhou Dunyi's back resentfully, and then the captain rode to General Huang's side, patted General Huang's arm, lowered his head and whispered to General Huang
"Old General, can you think about it?"
"It's done."
General Huang gritted his teeth and said these two words.
"Old general, you have decided this time, and I believe that you will definitely not regret it in the future."
The lieutenant chuckled, then drove away from General Huang on horseback, clamped his legs, and disappeared from General Huang's field of vision after crossing the crowd.
It seems that this guy is going to find someone to do that.
General Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, since this captain is so sure, he can let his plan be given by Zhou Dunyi, which means that in this army, there is also a high-ranking general who is also a spy planted by Dongxun, and that general's right to speak must not be underestimated, and he also has some confidence in front of Zhou Dunyi, otherwise, General Huang really can't figure out what other way this captain can make Zhou Dunyi nod.
At this time, the city of Chengdu, the eastern Xun country.
Zhou Budo looked at the woman in front of him who had taken off the black veil, and first revealed an extremely beautiful face, but after the veil was completely removed, Zhou Budo clearly saw that on one of the woman's cheeks, there was actually a three-inch-long scar mark left on this beautiful face.
"You, you?!"
"What's the matter, His Royal Highness was frightened by the slave's scar?"
This woman from a hundred households in brocade clothes couldn't help but feel a little funny when she looked at Zhou Budo's somewhat dumbfounded appearance, so she sat idly on a shabby chair, stretched out her calloused palm and stroked her scar, which made her years in China a lot less peach.
"That's not true, I just think it's a pity, hey, wait, what do you call yourself?"
Zhou Budo pursed his lips, he said honestly, he felt a little pity, such a good-looking woman, but there was an extra scar on her face, which really made him sigh secretly that he was used to seeing beauties, but Zhou Budo only then reacted to the fact that the woman in Jinyi Wei claimed to be wrong just now.
This sister just called herself a slave?
Hell, was it really sent by Daddy?
It's over, it's over, it's a shame and a big haircut.
Originally, Zhou Budo felt that the origin of this woman was wrong, the people of Jinyiwei, and they were also from the Jinling headquarters, how could they appear in the Dongxun capital at this time, at that time, Zhou Budo was afraid that his father found it, but now when he hears this, it is over, and he will definitely be scolded by his father after he goes back.
"The slave and the maid are now your servant daughters of His Royal Highness, calling themselves slaves and maids, what's wrong with them?"
I saw that the maid was slumped on the shabby chair, her eyes just looked at Zhou Budo like this, and her posture was a little sadistic.
"You were sent by my father?"
Zhou Budo directly ignored the second half of the Jinyi woman's words, and directly asked what he wanted to ask, but it was a little bloody.
"Lord Zhou? No, no, no, the slave and maid were not sent by the prince of Zhou, the slave and maid were hired by the king of Nanyue, and the king of Nanyue hired a slave and maid from Jinyiwei, and let the slave and maid set off from Jinling overnight to Chengdu City. ”
"The King of Nanyue?"
Zhou Budo was a little confused, who is the king of Nanyue?
Does Nanli have such a No. 1 prince?
Oh yes, yes, I remember when my father was talking to me when I was a child, I mentioned that I had an uncle who fell behind in the political confrontation of the previous generation and was demoted to Jiaozhou and named the king of Nanyue.
Tsk, this is even more wrong, it stands to reason that I have nothing to do with this Uncle Wang, and I haven't even seen this Uncle Wang once in my impression, but why did my Uncle Wang hire someone from Jinyiwei to go to Chengdu to protect himself?
As for hiring someone from Jinyiwei, Zhou Budo never suspected anything wrong at all.
The token has been verified, there is no doubt that it must be Jinyiwei's person, and he has also heard of Jinyiwei's employment identity, and not only Jinyiwei, Nanli's Zhijin Division also has a hiring business, but the employment business of these two yamen is only open to Nanli's magnates, and the price is high.
However, although the price is high, as long as you pay enough price, it is said that even if the top combat power monk wants to kill you, as long as you are not a grandmaster, you can be well protected.
Of course, in addition to the employment business, the assassination mission, these two yamen are also involved, after all, everyone has to eat, how can the little money issued by the imperial court be enough, and it is understandable to take some private work or something.
"Why did the King of Nanyue hire me to protect His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince of the World to come to the door in person after returning to Beijing to ask the King of Nanyue, what His Royal Highness the Prince of the World wants to do now is to be protected by me for a long time, after all, I still think that if anything goes wrong with Your Royal Highness, the Prince of Zhou may be skinned alive."
The woman Jinyiwei said this half-jokingly, and she didn't want to explain too much about the rest, so let Zhou Budo think about it herself.
And Zhou Budo also thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, but he felt some pain in the back of his head, and subconsciously reached out and touched it, only to see that as soon as his palm touched the back of his head, he felt a concave touch.
"Why the is a bag bulging in the back of my head, you, you, you, did you do it?"
Zhou Budo stretched out his hand and pointed at the woman and asked, he said why he just felt like he had slept well, and this touch obviously reminded him of some things that he had forgotten a long time ago.
The brocade-clothed woman spread her hands, rolled her eyes, and then didn't give any explanation.
Anyway, this little guy's hands and feet, he can beat ten with his eyes closed, and he admits that he can't do anything about himself, and he can't do anything about himself after returning to Nanli, but Zhou Wangye can't tell the difference between the important and the serious, and he is protecting his precious son.
And not far from the place where Zhou Budo was, suddenly smiled, his face was pale, one wrist had been cut open with a sharp weapon, and some blood dripped on a wooden plate in the hands of the old Taoist priest Mude, and the wooden plate was also dyed red by the blood of Sudden Laughter at this time, only to see that the wooden plate suddenly shiny, and a place on the wooden plate that represented the direction was faintly flashing with light, and the place where the direction was pointing was the direction of the place where Zhou Budo was now.
"It should be almost there, the light on this soul seeking disk has begun to fade, and Xiao Budo should not be too far away from us now."
The old Taoist priest Mude was overjoyed, fortunately he still had such a gadget in his hand that came in handy, otherwise, just by relying on Sudden Smile to frequently perform that secret technique, the burden on Sudden Smile's body was too overdrawn, even if he found Zhou Budo later, then Sudden Smile estimated that he would have to lie in bed for half a year.
"Quick, quick, don't doubt him, don't doubt him, there must be no any, any danger."
Suddenly, his lips had begun to turn white, and his speech had begun to be weak, if it weren't for the support of the old Taoist priest Mude, he would have lost his strength and lay on the ground a long time ago.
The passage of this blood caused the vitality in his body to dissipate again before he could recover.
