Chapter 399: Xiao Jing's helplessness
When the morning light sprinkled over the entire camp, Master Ge and Xiao Jing returned.
Master Ge walked in front with great energy, greeting those who came to greet him as he walked; Xiao Jing's expression was much worse, he was tired, not only did he walk step by step, but his whole body also exuded an unpleasant smell of alcohol, and only the most loyal members of the Xia family would gather around to see if his uncle was missing arms and legs.
After seeing that he was unharmed, a group of people yawned and went back to rest, thinking that they couldn't sleep peacefully because of excessive tension at night, maybe there were still people waiting for them to desperately kill and rob people.
After a drunken burp, Xiao Jing suddenly envied Lord Ge a little. This guy's luck is really good, he didn't participate in the real life-threatening things at all, and he slept happily for most of the night after being beaten with a stick, no wonder he is so energetic now.
It's really hard work to drink with Lu Chong, the two of them are obviously incompatible and can't wait to take each other's lives with their own hands, but they have to say something in their hearts like an old friend who only the other party understands, which feels like giving people goosebumps just thinking about it, Xiao Jing doesn't know how he persevered.
It doesn't matter, as long as nothing happens!
When he returned to the camp, he fell asleep, but he didn't expect that less than an hour later, it was lively outside, and the number of decibels in the noise was about the same as that of the market.
Xiao Jing thought that the Beihu people had made some moths again, so he barely supported himself and walked outside to take a look, but he was so sleepy by the scene in front of him that he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Seven or eight Hu men knelt in a row, and the executioners next to them raised their knives and fell to the ground and rolled without stopping.
It is said that this is a spy caught by the royal court, and it is their handiwork to secretly dig tunnels to murder the Great Khan. As for why the execution was carried out here...... Some people say that this is the Great Khan who wants to give an explanation to the Da Rui delegation to expose this matter, only Xiao Jing knows that Lu Chong's kid is just a bad taste, and he wants to use the prepared for the dead ghost to disgust most of the Da Rui people who are as timid as rats in his opinion, that's all.
After Liwei, the alliance was also held as scheduled. It took both sides three days to complete all the ceremonies, and it can almost be said that the guests and hosts were happy, and the Beihu side did not make any trouble with the mission.
Although the phrase "the two sides are about a brotherly state and will never invade each other" is, on the whole the alliance was very successful.
When the emperor's order was completed, Lord Yan was busy and took a group of people to say goodbye and return to the south. He, like most people, didn't want to stay on the prairie for a moment.
Because of its proximity to the border, it took the mission more than half a day to return to the territory of Da Rui. The border troops accompanying the regiment left separately under the leadership of the general, and only more than 1,000 people from the Beijing camp were left in charge of the guard.
In the dim light, Xiao Jing was writing hard.
"This time, the Northern Hu of the Huimeng did show sincerity, not only the Great Khan came in person, but the Hu people did not embarrass the Darui Mission, and the solemnity and seriousness of the Huimeng were guaranteed. Since then, the north should be able to usher in a few years of stability, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the people.
However, it should also be noted that ensuring the tranquility of the border is only an expedient measure for the Beihu royal court, and the people of the country must not be complacent. When the steppes are unified and the Beihu is twisted into a rope, today's covenant is likely to be discarded, and then the war will be rekindled.
The so-called being prepared for danger in times of peace, whether it is the princes and nobles or the common people, should not forget that there are still hungry wolves sleeping soundly on the side of the couch, let alone use a paper covenant as an excuse for getting drunk every day. Over the past hundreds of years, Beihu has done countless evil deeds, and there are many things that have broken the contract, and the day when the world sings and dances and rises to peace must be the time when the tragedy is about to end, I implore you to be cautious and abstain from it......"
Xiao Jingyang, who looked like a madman, wrote many pages freely. At a certain moment, he suddenly stopped his pen and crumpled all the long essays he had written with great difficulty into a ball of paper and threw them aside.
The attendant on the side did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly picked up the paper ball and threw it into the brazier, an action he had repeated countless times today.
Seeing the paper ball turn to ashes, Xiao Jing finally raised his head and let out a long sigh.
The constant words of the awakening world and the danger of the prosperous world are the most undesirable things. With his understanding of the Da Rui people, a few years is enough time for the "meat eaters" to let go of all their vigilance and live in a drunken dream of endless internal friction.
Even if there are sober-minded people, it is difficult to make a difference in such an environment, and in the end, they will not be ruthlessly crushed into powder by the wheel of history like people who do nothing?
As for ordinary people, the information they have access to is incomplete, and many times they just know what it is. Xiao Jing came into contact with many locals in the Northland, and many of them didn't even know that Beihu had changed the Great Khan, so how could people understand the significance of the alliance in this situation?
As long as they hear the news of the success of the alliance, countless ordinary people will happily celebrate that there is another peaceful day for a long time, but they don't know that the military disaster that can devastate lives has never been far away, it has only been postponed a little.
The matter is obvious, someone needs to speak up right now, Xiao Jing, who has followed the mission through the whole process, is undoubtedly the best candidate, and the mirror newspaper is also the best platform, but he can't do it.
At present, public opinion is completely one-sided, and all kinds of newspapers led by Pan Feiyu's "Xin Pao" are praising the alliance, and some people even praise it as "a meritorious cause unseen in a thousand years, a grand event to protect the country and the people."
And the mirror newspaper has its way of survival, in this case, you must not rashly jump out and make enemies with everyone, if nothing else, it is just a matter of one sentence for the big people in the court to ask the mirror newspaper to close.
That's why Xiao Jing is distressed. In order to write a manuscript to express his meaning, he tried different styles of writing, but the obscure ones were too deep and difficult to understand, the more passionate ones were too explicit, and he racked his brains and couldn't find a balance.
Is that all?
Bitter, he rubbed his temples with his hands. The attendant interjected into the air to deliver the meal, and he realized that he had patronized the writing and had not noticed the time at all, and it was already late at night outside.
After picking up two mouthfuls of food at random, he suddenly raised his head and said, "In your opinion, is the mission's vigilance still thorough?" ”
The man clenched his fists and said: "If you go back to your uncle, it's all a method in the army, and there is nothing wrong with it." Now that we have entered the border of Da Rui, there should be no more people to disturb us, right? ”
Xiao Jing nodded noncommittally. He still remembered the warning he had received before, Lu Chong was not the most dangerous opponent on this trip, and there should still be people lurking in the shadows ready to wait for an opportunity.
His premonition had always been accurate before the crisis was imminent, but now the uneasiness in his heart was becoming more and more intense!
