Volume 1: The Beacon of the Deer Chapter 21: The Conversation That Was Heard
The war ended, and Daguan County of the Green Kite Kingdom was occupied.
The expeditionary force will repair in Daguan County for half a month, the wounded soldiers will recuperate, the new recruits will begin to replenish the army, and the soldiers of the Recruitment Division will enter Daguan County and bring the remaining living forces here away from their homeland.
Since the military camp and the city lord's mansion in the city have not been completely cleared out, the army is still living in the original tent for the time being.
A few new recruits came to the human circle, and the other recruits Tian Mao, who had just been promoted to veterans, were temporarily transferred to the logistics unit to take care of the food of the entire expeditionary force with the cooking battalion in charge of cooking.
The meal after the victory was of course more abundant, with hot dishes and broth. Some of the high-ranking officers' food was made separately, and the best cooks were called in, and the delicate dishes were carefully cooked, which was basically not much different from the craftsmanship of the inn restaurant.
On the way to deliver the food, Tian Mao held back his saliva several times, scolded angrily and secretly scolded the class concept for being really unfair, and desperately ate the soup to the death, and ate the delicacies of the happy command.
Tian Mao was arranged to deliver food to Han Ning, the cultivator of Baixiang Mountain. Although cultivators don't have to eat these ordinary foods often, in the atmosphere of victory, whether to eat or not is her business, and whether to send it or not is a task that Tian Mao must complete.
At first, Tian Mao refused, but he was just a pawn who didn't even have a logistics organization, and he had no right to speak in front of this group of veterans of the cooking camp.
Maybe everyone understands that delivering food to Han Ning at this juncture is a job that risks his life, after all, Han Ning's defeat and humiliation on the battlefield earlier is a well-known thing, and it has long been a joke of the expeditionary force. No one knows what kind of temper this high-ranking cultivator is, if this seemingly simple task of delivering food shows a trace of ridicule or discomfort, it is a very sensitive period at this time, and he will wave his hand to death.
Tian Mao reluctantly stood at the door of the tent with a tray of exquisite food.
The few people behind stretched out their heads to look at Tian Mao, encouraging him with their eyes.
He cautiously spoke up into the tent and said, "Fairy Han, lunch has been brought to you." ”
Inside the tent, a female voice was heard.
"Come in. ”
Let someone come up from behind to open the tent door, and Tian Maocai walked in lightly with the food.
The smell in the tent was fragrant, and it was vaguely intoxicating.
Tian Mao's eyes didn't dare to look at him, he walked straight towards the only table, and brought down the dishes and chopsticks from the tray.
The movements were done in one go, and he didn't dare to have any delay, turned around and walked out of the tent quickly.
Cultivators are really scary.
After watching Tian Mao come out, several people who encouraged Tian Mao rushed out.
The few people who poured out didn't care much about Tian Mao, if nothing else, they had to let Tian Mao complete another dangerous thing, that is, he had to deliver the lunch of the eldest prince Liu Yuan.
The specific reason is similar to Han Ning's situation, because the battle that the eldest prince encountered in the battle of Daguan County made him unhappy.
What made Tian Mao breathe a sigh of relief was that they had no chance to face this great prince Liu Yuan at all. There were two soldiers guarding the tent of the eldest prince Liu Yuan, and there was no chance for him to bring food inside, so they stopped the lunch sent by Tian Mao and brought it into the tent by themselves, and told Tian Mao to wait on the side, and take away the utensils after Liu Yuan finished eating.
Tian Mao was bored and wandered around leaning against the edge of the tent with his fingernails buttoned, thinking about something about the cultivators.
What he didn't know was that when Tian Maoyou walked behind the tent, Guangyuan rushed to the tent with a picture scroll.
He waved his hand and dismissed the two guards, and the guards completely forgot about Tian Mao, who was still wandering and waiting, and directly led the order to leave.
Guangyuan didn't report outside, and directly opened the tent door and strode in, looking flustered.
Guangyuan, who entered the tent, walked directly to Liu Yuan's table, spread out the picture scroll and put it on the table.
When Liu Yuan saw Guangyuan's appearance, he immediately realized that something big might be something.
He pressed his hand to interrupt Guangyuan, who was about to speak, and he closed his eyes, driving his consciousness to release it.
After a while, Liu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and motioned for Guangyuan to continue.
Tian Mao, who was outside the tent, heard the movement of the tent, slowed down, and subconsciously held his breath, for some reason he didn't choose to leave immediately, he was a little curious about what was going on inside.
Guangyuan said: "In the early hours of this morning, the ancestor's illness was committed again, this time the illness lasted for a whole hour, and the escorts of the two squadrons were all killed by him. ”
"An hour? Liu Yuan looked at the scroll with a solemn expression.
"What did Elder He say?" asked Liu Yuan.
"He Lao said that the stubborn disease left by the ancestor who went mad a hundred years ago is getting more and more serious, and it is difficult for the Soul Suppression Pill to suppress the demonic nature of the ancestor anymore. ”
"Did you say how much time does the Ancestor have?" asked Liu Yuan in a low voice.
According to the frequency of illness during this time, He Lao roughly estimated that the ancestor might be completely demonic within ten years, and then he would have a demonic nature, which could not be controlled, causing his internal organs to be shattered and die. ”
Liu Yuan's pupils contracted: "No one knows about this matter, right?"
Guangyuan shook his head: "Several palace maids who passed by from the Forbidden Palace of the Ancestors and heard the movement have been secretly executed. ”
"That's good. Liu Yuan sighed and continued, "I have to rush back immediately, the ancestors will most likely designate the inheritance before they completely enter the demon, and my younger brothers must have gone to the Forbidden Palace to wait." ”
"Remember! There is also this matter that must not be leaked out, the existence or non-existence of the ancestor is too important for us to rejuvenate the country. ”
Guangyuan nodded and began to put away the scroll.
Tian Mao took a deep breath and prepared to quietly evacuate this place.
It was this subconscious deep breath that made a little sound, which was instantly noticed by Liu Yuan and Guangyuan.
After Guangyuan and Liu Yuan glanced at each other, Guangyuan quickly walked out of the tent, but only saw the figure who turned into the tent in the distance.
Liu Yuan followed him out of the tent and raised his hand to hold down Guangyuan's figure that was about to rush out.
He looked in the direction where his back had disappeared, and said with some doubts: "My divine sense can't even feel him, could it be that there is a soul-type magic weapon on his body?"
Guangyuan was still a little irritable, and he asked Liu Yuan in a gloomy tone: "What should I do now?"
There was some fragrance wafting, and Liu Yuan tilted his head and sniffed vigorously.
"Han Ning's fragrance, is it her? But the back doesn't look like it. ”
Liu Yuan's head thought quickly: "This person dares to run into the barracks with such a swagger, he must be a person in the expeditionary army, and you smell it carefully, although this faint fragrance is similar to the fragrance of the girl in Baixiang Mountain, it is much lighter, it should be someone who has come into contact with her." Besides, Han Ning won't come to eavesdrop on our conversation, even if she can evade my divine sense, the fragrance on her body is too strong to hide. ”
"It must have something to do with Han Ning, I'll ask Han Ning. ”
"That's it!" Liu Yuan continued: "This matter should be investigated secretly, and it is not appropriate to make a big fuss, you know the importance of this matter. ”
Guangyuan nodded slightly.
"Immediately go find two capable squadrons, ask if you have seen anyone run in the tents closest to my tent, or ask the two guards just now, if there are no clues, focus on investigating the people who have been in contact with Han Ning in the past few days. I think most of them are people from the cooking camp, only they have the opportunity to contact Han Ning, if this person coincides with the person narrated by the guards, then it must be him, but remember not to go directly to Han Ning to investigate, so as not to arouse her suspicion. Got it?"
After Liu Yuan finished speaking, Guangyuan left and walked a few steps away.
"Wait!"
Guangyuan turned around, Liu Yuan's eyes were cold, and his palm lightly drew down the void: "The people who doubt it and those who have a relationship with him are all solved." ”
Tian Mao, who was flustered all the way, skillfully walked through several tents, and Zhou Heng, who had just finished his work, was about to greet Tian Mao. Without waiting for Zhou Heng to say anything else, Tian Mao directly hooked Zhou Heng's shoulders and walked towards his tent.
The afternoon sun is warm and makes people drowsy. A group of soldiers assembled at Liu Yuan's tent, and Guangyuan began to disperse after giving the order.
Liu Yuan confessed a few words to Guangyuan again, and had to rush back to the capital despite his injuries.
At this time, Tian Mao returned to the tent, and he was very panicked.
After Guangyuan left the tent of the eldest prince, he went to complete the task assigned by Liu Yuan. A young Taoist priest who had already appeared earlier rushed into the tent.
Liu Yuan was thinking about the news he had just gotten and planning how to inherit the inheritance of the ancestor when he noticed the young Taoist priest who came in.
The young man went straight to the point and said, "Have you received the news?"
Seeing Liu Yuan nodding, the young Taoist priest smiled slightly.
Liu Yuan was a little puzzled by the smile of the young Taoist priest.
"How?"
The young Taoist priest said: "This is a message deliberately sent by the National Teacher. ”
Liu Yuan was even more puzzled: "Why did you release this news?"
The young Taoist priest sat down naturally.
"The Master of the National Master naturally has his plan, and it's not something we have to worry about. The next step is that you have to go back with me immediately, and you must go back in a panic, but not to go back to inherit the inheritance, just to act in a play. Although it is a real disappearance, it must be through you to make the people watching the play more certain of the news. ”
"I can act in a play, and if you don't come to it, I'll rush back immediately. But shouldn't you not inherit the legacy?"
The young Taoist priest knew that Liu Yuan would ask like this, and he said: "Don't worry, what you can inherit from your ancestor, the national teacher can also follow you, just let a few of your brothers earn your life, the era of star chaos is coming, you must speed up your growth." ”
Liu Yuan nodded slightly, and suddenly he thought of what had just happened. He told the young Taoist priest all about this matter without reservation, and at the same time told his initial suspicions together.
When the young Taoist priest heard this, he fell into deep thought.
What would the master do if he was here to solve this problem? He once told me that you don't have to kill everyone to solve the problem.
Pondering, the young Taoist priest shouted: "If you have a heart, you can't open it, and if you don't have a heart, you can't put willows and willows in the shade." Ah Yuan's body will definitely entangle Han Ning, and it is really appropriate for Ah Yuan to be a chess piece. ”
His eyes lit up and he said to Liu Yuan.
"You let out the word immediately, Han Ning is about to leave. Be sure to keep an eye on Han Ning, including how he got out of the barracks. If someone leaves the camp with Han Ning without arrangement, remember not to disturb them, just send troops to chase after them from behind. But don't take their lives until you're rescued by the cultivators. ”
The young man said, smiling.
"That's right, you go quickly, and go back with me after giving the order." ”
