Chapter 143: Lanzhou spies
An Shiqing nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, good!" In that case, Gongsuke, you don't have to be formal. My men told me that you were stationed here, and I came to see you without stopping. Are your families okay? ”
"All well, well! My father-in-law also instructed me that when passing by Shanzhou, I must remind you that you must work and rest normally and not work too hard. Lu Zuo looked at An Shiqing carefully, and saw that he was covered with dust and dust, and he was much thinner than when he saw him before, and he couldn't help but feel sad, "Why did my brother lose weight?" ”
When An Shiqing heard the greeting from his hometown, his eyes were moist, and he sighed lightly, "Hey...... The military general affairs are heavy, and I can't finish every day! ”
Lu Zuo hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, "Come, let's talk in the barracks!" ”
An Shiqing followed Lu Zuo into the camp together, but saw that the camp was neatly arranged, the soldiers patrolled in an orderly manner, there were no loud noises, and everyone was doing their own thing seriously. After looking at it all the way, An Shiqing couldn't help nodding again and again, it seemed that the new marshal did have some ability to govern the army, so he asked as he walked, "Gongfu, the emperor's newly appointed marshal Gao Yun, I heard that he was originally the general of Jin Wuwei?" ”
"That's right!" Lu Zuo replied, "Brother, do you have any questions?" ”
An Shiqing smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing!" ”
Lu Zuo knew his intentions, in fact, he wanted to inquire about the situation of the new marshal, but this was a taboo in the army, and he was embarrassed to speak, so Lu Zuo approached him in a low voice and said, "Brother, don't worry, we will go to Lanzhou City tomorrow, and then stay for a day or two, and then we will talk again when we are in your house." How is it? ”
"Hmm......" An Shiqing nodded, and suddenly slowed down, "You just said that you were going to live in Lanzhou City for a day or two tomorrow?" Why is that? ”
"Oh! We're ready to go into the city to catch the spies! ”
"Spies?" An Shiqing's expression seemed to know something, and he suddenly stopped, looked at Lu Zuo in surprise, looked around, and when he was sure that there was no one within eight steps of him, he asked, "So you also suspect that there are spies in Lanzhou City?" ”
Lu Zuo bowed slightly, "It seems that my brother has also noticed it." ”
"That's right, I started to feel something was wrong a few days ago, every time I took a small force to invade the city defense outside Shanzhou City, it seemed that they could have foresight, all the city defense equipment could be well prepared, and they could block our attack in advance." An Shiqing's face sank, "So from that time on, I began to wonder if there were spies, otherwise how could they make such an accurate prediction?" ”
Lu Zuo made a gesture of invitation and said, "I will catch this spy sooner or later, let's talk in the tent first!" It is estimated that the marshal and they are all in a hurry. ”
After An Shiqing followed Lu Zuo into the marshal's tent, several people also saluted each other, and after a period of greetings, Gao Yun began to ask An Shiqing some information about Lanzhou and some of the situation in Shanzhou, and then An Shiqing said goodbye and returned to the city. When An Shiqing was leaving, Lu Zuoxiang sent it outside the gate, so he handed over the letter written by Jing Ruo to An Shiqing.
The night was already deeper, the soldiers patrolling outside the barracks talked about the situation from time to time, Gao Yun was lying on the marching bed, still unable to sleep, he also knew what was going to happen next, maybe it would be unforgettable for a lifetime, and every step he took might determine the future of the Han, so he had to be cautious and do his best. Gao Yun thought about it, but he got up uneasily, put on his regular clothes, and walked out of the handsome tent. The soldiers who were keeping vigil at the gate saw that the marshal had risen, and they all bowed respectfully. At this time, outside the tent, the soldiers on patrol came and went, and most of the barracks dotted around had their lights out, except for one place, which was Lu Zuo's.
Gao Yun paced uneasily to Lu Zuo's tent, and the two guards in front of the door nodded to the marshal and said, "Marshal Gao, Lord Lu is waiting for you in the house!" ”
Gao Yun's face was a little surprised, so he quickened his pace and walked into the tent. At this time, Lu Zuo in the house was soaking his feet while watching the war book in his hand, and Yin Ji under his feet tested the water temperature of the master from time to time.
After Lu Zuo put down the book in his hand, he looked at Gao Yun calmly and said, "Here!" ”
Seeing that Gao Yun's face was obviously a little more anxious than in the afternoon, "Big brother, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
"Waiting for you!"
"Wait for me?" Gao Yun asked with a slightly tired expression.
"Seeing that your eyes are swollen and the corners of your eyes are black, you must have been unable to sleep well recently, and you are going to go into the city tomorrow to catch spies, you must be even more uneasy, so many things, how can you sleep with peace of mind!"
Gao Yun sighed, "Hey...... Big brother, who says it's not! ”
Yin Ji stood up and said with a smile: "Second Brother Gao, it seems that you still don't believe in our master's ability!" What is there to worry about, there is a master here, there is nothing to fear, it is only a matter of time before the spies are caught and Shanzhou is recovered. ”
"You are all talking lightly, how can things be so simple." Gao Yun said abruptly, "It's not that I don't believe in the eldest brother, but these things are easier said than done!" ”
Yin Ji grabbed Bai Dao again, "It's not that I don't believe it!" ”
"Alright!" Lu Zuo stopped, and then smiled at Gao Yun, "Brother Xian doesn't have to be anxious, the spy will soon surface, and at that time, it will be the first merit that Brother Fool will give you at that time." ”
Gao Yun gradually calmed down a little nervously, "I hope so!" ”
Lu Zuo greeted Yin Ji again, "Ji'er, you go and take out a box of An Shenxiang that I brought back from the capital and give it to your second brother." ”
"Oh!"
Yin Ji took out a small wooden box from the duffel bag on the couch, and then handed it to Gao Yun's hand, and did not forget to instruct: "This soothing incense is very effective, order a plate before going to sleep, and you will definitely sleep very soundly." After that, Yin Ji smiled and did not forget to continue to sarcastically mock Gao Yun, "You are now the commander of the three armies, if you are all sick, then we will call it a real collapse!" ”
Gao Yun was like a treasure, "Thank you, big brother!" Suddenly remembered another thing, "By the way, big brother, didn't you secretly tell me that Brother Chen will bring someone to join us, is the time up?" Isn't it already in Lanzhou now, why haven't you seen anyone yet? ”
"No hurry!" Lu Zuo's expression was calm, "When they appear, maybe they will give us a gift?" ”
"Gifts?"
"You'll know when the time comes!"
