Chapter Seventy-One: Alliances
According to the plan, the guards were all led away by the second child, and the boss quickly sneaked in with Changfeng and his party. Fortunately, looking at the layout around the secret passage, this place should not have been discovered yet. They opened the secret passage with neat hands and feet, and stuffed the captured people into it. These people have inhaled a large amount of drugs, and they are delirious, let alone running away, they can't even make a sound, they can only be dragged forward.
It was not very far from the outside of the city, and before they had gone far, they heard the sound of rushing water, and Changfeng guessed correctly, they really used the waterway to get out of the city. On the way out, many people who did not know how to swim choked on water, but they were all thrown down on the spot, and their bodies sank to the bottom of the river, never to come up again.
It seems that there are a lot of people in Nancang who are ambushing outside Yangcheng, and as soon as they show their heads, someone will answer them outside.
"Boss, no, the second brother has been arrested." They waited outside the city all night, but did not see the second brother come out, until dawn, when people came to the city, "I heard that they happened to meet the soldiers patrolling the city, and five brothers died, and the second brother and several other brothers were arrested." The notice has been posted. ”
The people who are called the boss say something bad. Fortunately, the second child doesn't know much, and it doesn't hurt if he is caught, but this secret passage is afraid that it can't be used.
"I'll take them first. You go back and inform the brothers in the city to evacuate immediately, and our secret passage will not be used. "Just give the order to work at this time, General Luo and Tian Taishou's people have already captured all the people in the city, and all the secret passages have been blown up.
Changfeng's play seemed to be seamless, and they didn't seem to suspect the two of them.
Since leaving Yang City, these people who were arrested have been blindfolded. "Master, something seems wrong." Although Wei Jiu was not born as a secret guard, he was able to become Changfeng's personal guard, and he also experienced a cruel selection, although he was blindfolded, it did not affect his judgment of the direction and distance traveled. "We seem to be going around in circles."
Not only did Wei Jiu feel that something was wrong, but General Luo, who was quietly following behind them, also found out that something was wrong, they had just walked on this road yesterday, "Why did you come back again?" ”
Could it be that it was discovered?
No, Changfeng quickly counted all the links in his mind. General Luo was the only one who knew his plan, and even Tian Taishou only knew a little about it. This Luo Chengkun was born in Jiangmen, and he once fought with Ruoxi, so there will be no problem, what is the mistake?
Taking advantage of the rest, Changfeng leaned against the tree and thought. An eagle's chirp was heard in the air.
"Get up, get up! Get up! "Their hands were tied, their eyes were blindfolded, and they were violently pulled up.
The strip of cloth covering his face was torn off at once, and before he could adjust to the light, he felt a touch of coldness on his neck.
"I didn't expect to catch a big man, I've wronged you these days, General Murong!"
The other party's expression was determined, and he was still holding a note in his hand. It seems that the eagle chirp he just heard was a message for him. Now, it is useless to deny it.
"When did you find out?"
"Marshal Murong is so generous, he can still be so calm at this time. I have to say, your serial plan is really good, if it weren't for my master's caution and let me take you around a few times outside, I'm afraid that our nest will be known to you, right? ”
Changfeng keenly caught the message in his words, "Your master? Cold weather or cold solitude? ”
The man in black didn't answer, but looked at Wei Jiu and Changfeng's hands with a smile, and said, "I advise the general, don't be impulsive, just in case, the food in the past few days has been added." rashly use force, but I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable......"
Wei Jiu tried to mobilize his internal force, and sure enough, as soon as he breathed, he felt a sharp pain in the meridians of his whole body like pins and needles, and the sea of qi was empty, and he couldn't mobilize even half a minute of internal force.
Changfeng knew from Wei Jiu's expression that the man in black was not lying.
Suddenly, in the distance, there was the sound of a handover of soldiers.
"General Luo has also worked hard for a few days, so let my brothers accompany General Luo to relax their muscles. As for you, I want to come to the county lord of Anning for a long time and I miss it very much, so please come with me. As he spoke, Changfeng and Wei Jiu felt a burst of weakness in their bodies and fell into a coma.
Besides, Luo Chengkun was entangled by Nancang's people, lost contact with Changfeng, and waited for a few days, but there was no news. Finally, I couldn't sit still, and a military newspaper was rushed to the capital thousands of miles away.
"Your Highness, Yangcheng is in a hurry."
Since Nangong Chen's last serious illness and Ling Ruoxi's marriage, Nangong Chen seems to have lost interest in everything, and even handed over all political affairs to Shui Hua to deal with. He just listens to Shui Hua's report every day, or gives some advice when Shui Hua is not sure. This military newspaper was naturally sent directly to Shui Hua's hands.
Shui Hua took it and glanced at it, his face was very ugly. In this military newspaper, it was said that Murong Changfeng discovered the secret passage of Nan Cang's transfer of population in Yangcheng, and in order to find out, he disguised himself as a person in distress and pretended to be arrested. Originally, I wanted to cooperate with Luo Chengkun and take Nancang's stronghold, but I don't know where something went wrong, and to this day, there has been no news of Changfeng for five days.
"Luo Feng, inform Ruoxi immediately. In addition, you go to Yangcheng in person. ”
Luo Chengkun has already led people to search outside the city I don't know how many times, there are no clues at all, as if they disappeared out of thin air, and several places that Changfeng suspected before, they have also been searched by people, and there is nothing.
Now we can only wait for news.
Ruoxi was under such circumstances when she suddenly received a secret letter. "Master, General Murong is missing." Ruoxi looked at Lu Wan in disbelief, as if to confirm the truth of her words. Changfeng is in Kyoto, and he is accompanied by guards, how can he disappear. "It's Mesig."
Lu Wan handed the secret letter in her hand to Ruoxi's hand.
According to Luo Chengkun, they have been taken around in circles since they left the city, that is to say, from the beginning, Changfeng's identity was exposed.
No, Ruoxi suddenly thought of a detail. They suddenly disappeared after sparing the circle for three days, that is to say, they suddenly started three days later, and three days before that, it is likely that they were waiting for a news, waiting for news that can confirm Changfeng's identity, and only after confirmation, did they move.
How exactly was Changfeng's plan discovered? And who identified him? Ruoxi is now a question mark in his head. She never expected that Changfeng was a thing, and it was also for her.
Changfeng listened to her clues to track down Nancang's conspiracy, and the only one who could do this was Leng Guyin.
Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it is better to go to the border pass, and you will always be able to find clues.
As soon as the Ruoxi people arrived at the gate of the city, they were blocked by a troop of men. Squinting slightly, the back of the leader was extremely familiar.
"It's so late, where is the county going to go? Recently, the city has not been peaceful, and the county lord does not bring his attendants with him, so I am afraid that it is a little unsafe. "It's the king of Nanyang.
Ruoxi looked at it coldly, didn't speak, and the whip in his hand was raised, and he had a strong posture of breaking through.
"The general is here to save people, right? If this king guessed correctly, it's General Murong, right? Perhaps, this king can help. ”
If he was stunned, the horsewhip in his hand still regained his strength and fell weakly.
"Borrow a step to speak." King Nanyang's attitude obviously knew the truth, and no matter how anxious he was, he had to suppress his temperament and followed him to a courtyard.
It was late at night, the moonlight was sprinkled all over the small courtyard, and the stone benches and chairs were covered with a layer of cool cold.
"What does the prince mean?"
Shangguan Jinglin made a gesture of please, motioning for Ruoxi to look in.
It's not that I don't suspect that this is Shangguan Jinglin's trap, but Changfeng's whereabouts are unknown now, and his life and death are uncertain. If he couldn't care about it, he followed Shangguan Jinglin's gesture to push the door.
There was only a crack in the door, and Ruoxi could see the person lying on the bed clearly.
"Long Wind!"
Shangguan Jinglin grabbed Ruoxi, "It's just a drug, it's not a big deal." My sincerity general has seen it, can we talk. ”
Shangguan Jinglin had been sending people to keep an eye on Leng Tian and Leng Guyin. Hearing that their subordinates came to report, they arrested a Liguo man and had to travel thousands of miles to Changping. Shangguan Jinglin felt strange, so he paid attention and sent someone to secretly investigate, wanting to see who was worthy of such fanfare in the cold weather.
But he didn't want to, just saved Murong Changfeng.
"The general doesn't have to be nervous, at least you and I are the same in the matter of stopping Luo Li." Shangguan Jinglin is still used to calling Ruoxi a general. He has a feeling that the loss of martial arts and the current trapped enemy country are just a temporary situation, and this dragon of the abyss will soar into the sky sooner or later.
Luo Li? Ruoxi chuckled in his heart, but he didn't miss half a point on his face. "Is the prince against Luo Li?" Ruoxi's words are ambiguous.
Shangguan Jinglin saw Ruoxi's reaction, only as if she had already known about it, "It is worthy of General Anping, Luo Li is Nancang's top secret, even I don't know anything about it, and the general actually knows." ”
Ruoxi didn't answer. She was also a bold guess. Nancang needs so many people in Liguo, coupled with the fact that Leng Tian's one-handed poison technique is the best in the world, no one can beat it. Therefore, Ruoxi boldly speculated that they must be developing some secret medicine specifically for the people of Liguo.
"The royal brother was bewitched by the national teacher, and he devoted himself to the development of Luoli, they have been moving frequently recently, perhaps they have entered a critical stage, once successful, a big war is inevitable, and the people of Liguo are not spared. I know that the general came to Nancang, and he must have noticed this matter, and I hope that the general can help me stop Luo Li. Shangguan Jinglin sighed and continued, "As the Nancang Imperial Family, I naturally want to help my Emperor achieve hegemony. But general, you and I are both people who lead troops, and we are used to seeing the tragedy on the battlefield, and we have also seen the pain of the people in the war. The dispute between the two countries is the ambition of those in power, but it is often innocent people who pay the price. ”
"What does the prince want me to do?"
Seeing Ruoxi's relief, Shangguan Jinglin was obviously relieved. "Brother Huang knew that I was against Luo Li, so he hid everything from me. I don't know much about this. I also know a little about the relationship between the general and the Marquis of Anping, and he is the best breakthrough. ”
This matter, Ruoxi should be down. After all, with the help of King Nanyang, things will be much simpler.
"General rest assured, General Murong, I will send him back to Liguo safely. As for the rest, it's his own business. "If Xi knows what Jing Lin means, the captured general will suddenly come back safely, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. But the bloom is not someone else's after all.
