Chapter 197: Finding out the news
Tuoba Heng saw that she had the heart to go to the bottom, which was not a bad thing, so he said: "Okay, if you want to go, I will let Chen Feng protect you at any time, I still have some things to investigate, so I can't accompany you up the mountain." ”
Su Cimo listened to his words, and looked at Tuoba Heng in front of him with a pair of eyes full of doubts. Could this guy be trying to take advantage of her again!?
Su Cimo thought helplessly for a while, and finally Tuoba Heng raised his handsome face from the twists and turns he watched, and when he looked at Su Cimo, as if he had already known her inner thoughts, he immediately said: "Then if you don't want to, you can not go, I will ask my entourage to go to the bottom." ”
Tuoba Heng doesn't like to force people to do anything, especially Su Cimo, who always thinks of some strange ways to make a splash, if something happens to him, he still has to think about how to rescue him, it's really not worrying.
Su Cimo looked at the helplessness on his face, as if he saw that he couldn't look down on his strength in caving, and immediately became unhappy, Su Cimo pursed his lips slightly and then said to Tuoba Heng with a look of disbelief: "Tuoba Heng, don't worry, leave it to me, don't need your entourage, or I will go in person to rest assured." ”
Su Cimo patted his chest and reassured, Chen Feng, who was watching the play on the side, couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose with a funny look.
Thinking that last time Su Cimo deceived the female leader into marrying him, and worshiped heaven and earth with the female leader, it is estimated that people are dying to figure out what is going on.
Chen Feng really felt that it was really a great blessing for the master to meet such a smart and lovely military advisor as Su Cimo, but the third prince couldn't detect it.
Tuoba Heng looked at Su Cimo with a pat on his chest, and suddenly couldn't help but say with some concern: "Su Cimo, it is estimated that your little body may not be able to come out alive if you go in, are you sure you want to go in!?" ”
Su Cimo looked at Tuoba Heng's uneasy look, and felt more and more that he was really underestimating herself, so she said, "That's not it!" A certain amount of trust. ”
Tuoba Heng was conquered by his inferiority complex speech, and immediately gave up the situation of finding someone to sneak attack the mountain bandits for her.
Su Cimo learned about the situation, it turned out that there was an iron mine nearby, of course, this mineral belonged to the imperial court, but these robbers did not know when they began to assemble, always the idea of fighting this iron ore, and the palace people of the iron ore factory began to kill the robbers halfway when they transported the excavated iron ore to the imperial court.
Originally, it was nothing once or twice, but after a long time, the emperor noticed that this iron ore factory always lost things, and Tuoba Heng went to the mine on the first day to check the accounts, and found that all the information they reported was true, and what was lost was indeed the few cars that the imperial court did not collect.
However, just a few carts are worth a thousand gold, and the arrowhead guns used on the battlefield are basically produced from iron ore, and if they are intercepted by robbers and smelt iron to make weapons privately, it will bring great trouble to the imperial court.
Tuoba Heng was also worried that they were not ordinary people behind the scenes, so he didn't dare to march into the mountains, he was only afraid that the people behind him would already be familiar with him, just waiting for him to get into the trap.
Now that Su Cimo said the method is indeed the best, he can not only have time to check the people behind them, but also understand the real situation inside them through Su Cimo, why not?
"You and Chen Feng must be careful, put self-protection first, don't act rashly, and discuss everything with Chen Feng." Tuoba Heng explained to Su Cimo.
Su Cimo nodded and said yes, and then said that he would go out and prepare something.
Su Cimo came to her tent, found her saber pinned to her waist, and then she went up the mountain with Chen Feng.
Su Cimo first took people to a farmer's house at the bottom of the mountain, looking at the appearance of the farmer's house with four walls, Su Cimo couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, he now feels more and more the importance of being a good official, if he is blindly content with a corner and does not care about the life of the people, then this society and this country are estimated to have maintained the current state.
"Prime Minister Su, it is estimated that this person is not at home, maybe he has gone to plant crops, let's go." Chen Feng then entered the house, and he looked back and forth and didn't see anyone nearby, so he suspected that the owner of the place was not at home.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Su Cimo spoke, and then walked around the room a few times, and sure enough, seeing that no one was in front of or behind the house, Su Cimo was slightly sad and left with Chen Feng.
Su Cimo suggested going to the iron mine to have a look first, and Chen Feng agreed, but he was afraid that going to the iron mine in their military uniforms would cause a riot, so Chen Feng suggested changing into an ordinary set of clothes before going.
Su Cimo agreed, and then the two of them took a few guards back to the barracks to change into ordinary clothes and then went out, before leaving, Su Cimo did not forget to go to Tuoba Heng's camp tent, and looked inside and saw that Tuoba Heng was not in the camp tent.
Su Cimo had to sigh in his heart that Tuoba Heng was really insidious, and thought of a trick to take himself away, but he didn't say what else he had to do, so he left on his own.
Su Cimo sighed in his heart, and his face was also very unsightly, kicking the pebbles there while walking, and he didn't look very happy all the way.
Chen Feng seemed to see that Su Cimo's heart was coming, so he smiled and comforted: "The Prime Minister is still worried about the affairs of His Royal Highness!?" In fact, the prime minister doesn't have to worry. ”
As soon as Su Cimo heard this, he immediately turned his eyes to look at Chen Feng, and then asked, "What did you say!?" What does that mean!? ”
"Actually, the master is cold-faced, in fact, his heart is the best for others, but he is always very strict with himself! Prime Minister, you shouldn't be like him. Chen Feng said.
As soon as Su Cimo heard that Chen Feng, who was usually a little talker, could say this, she immediately felt that she might really misunderstand Tuoba Heng, so she said: "Okay, since you have said so, I don't continue to doubt his reasoning." ”
Chen Feng nodded when he heard this, and then said to Su Cimo: "A while ago, Prime Minister, you had a temper with my master, in fact, you don't know, there are many things that you can't solve at that time, my master is helping you behind your back, he doesn't really care about anything when he sees you suffering." ”
As soon as Su Cimo heard this, the footsteps under her feet suddenly stopped, so she really misunderstood Tuoba Heng, and even said those ugly words in the back, and suddenly Su Cimo felt that his cheeks burned red along with the feeling of shame in his heart.
"Ah, that's really sorry Tuoba Heng, I thought he was all deliberate, deliberately trying to treat me like that, and even said that it was an experience." Su Cimo said. This is what she understands differently from everyone else, everyone says it's experience, but Su Cimo can't feel a lot of growth in the experience they say, so she feels that it's abuse and abuse.
It's a pity that no one can understand her feelings, in short, there are more feelings of being calculated and abandoned.
Chen Feng didn't say anything anymore, and the two of them went up to the iron mine together, and the field was near the mine, and several towering suspension bridges were built on it, which looked very dangerous, and those palace people used small frames to lift baskets of iron ore back and forth on the suspension bridge.
Su Cimo walked over and walked to the side of a chief steward who looked like a eunuch guarding him.
"I don't know who you are!? We were sent by the imperial court to exterminate the bandits in the mountains. Su Cimo stepped forward and said to the man who looked like a father-in-law with a whip.
"Oh, how do you prove you are!?" The man glanced at Su Cimo in a weird way, and looked up and down as if he looked down on his small body.
Chen Feng was slightly displeased, and then said to the leader of the main matter: "You don't want to be rude to the Prime Minister, I am Chen Feng, a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince only came here a few days ago, don't you know about it!?" ”
The person in charge was a little displeased when he saw Chen Feng's vigorous look, and then said: "Since you also know that bandits are rampant in the mountains, why did you come here to continue to wronged me!?" In case, you are pretending to be bandits, then who will bear the responsibility? ”
Chen Feng didn't think it was a special thing, not to mention that the guards outside the mine were all guards sent by Jingzhong, and they all knew each other, otherwise they wouldn't have let them enter the mine, but the leader in charge had to look aggressive and make people tired.
Chen Feng stretched out his sleeves and wanted to reason with them, but who knew that he hadn't said anything yet, but Su Cimo pulled him on the side, Su Cimo's oblique phoenix eyes looked charming, she smiled and said to Chen Feng: "Alas, forget it, I forgot to bring the token today, and I don't blame the steward, let's go around, and then think of other ways." ”
Chen Feng heard Su Cimo say this, and he was immediately embarrassed to continue pestering, so he nodded yes, the two of them walked around the mine, and they didn't see anything special when they looked at it, so Su Cimo ordered Chen Feng to go to the gate of the mine to ask the guards at the gate to see if they knew about the situation of mountain bandits in this area.
Su Cimo was afraid that those people would have any other thoughts about her, so she just stood far away, watching Chen Feng and a few guards over there inquiring about the whereabouts of those mountain bandits.
After another while, Chen Feng walked back towards Su Cimo with big strides.
"How? But what useful news did you hear!? Su Cimo asked with a faint smile on his face.
Chen Feng glanced at Su Cimo, and then replied: "They said that the place where the mountain bandits haunt is not here, on the mountain road to the capital, and they also said that the bandits' lair should be along the mountain road over there." ”
