Chapter 897: The Beacon Tower is Strange

"You're welcome! If only Brother Fu was here! That's the real god soldier! His men acted in such a way that he didn't need to speak at all. ”

As soon as Lu Chuan praised Fu Lie, he couldn't control himself.

Wen Qingzhu looked at the vast grassland in front of him, and his thoughts drifted far away.

As the night wore on, the sky was full of stars, and the wind began to penetrate a little.

When it was time to finish eating, Wen Qingzhu said that he didn't need to be special, and followed the soldiers to eat a big pot of rice and drink a big pot of soup.

Yang Jiu took Zhao Qing back to restore his life, and concisely explained the situation of the Zhao family.

Wen Qingzhu held a black-brown ceramic bowl, and when he said that there were beast footprints found in Yonghe Mountain, she immediately raised her head: "Beast? Are you sure? ”

Lu Chuan, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly took a bite of food and hurriedly said: "What has appeared in the past two years is a bit like the footprints of a wild boar, and a bit like the footprints of a wild wolf, in short, I am not sure, but there have been no casualties of people and animals." ”

"Go on." Wen Qingzhu nodded, letting Yang Jiu continue to report.

Wen Qingzhu doesn't know much about the affairs of the border pass, and everyone here, including Zhao Qing, knows better than her.

But she has an advantage, that is, she doesn't understand things, and she just learns seriously.

After talking about an hour, Wen Qingzhu finished eating, and he knew about the things around Yongheguan.

Regarding the issue of Zhao Qing's army, she didn't directly say anything bad.

On the contrary, Lu Chuan sneered twice from time to time when Yang Jiu was talking.

Zhao Qing has been in Dingyuan for more than 20 years, and he has fought a lot of battles, but it is the first time that he has taken charge of himself and directly faced the battle.

After they left, Wen Qingzhu bowls and chopsticks were taken away.

Leaving Lu Chuan Lei Yan alone, he asked them directly: "What do you think is the chance of Zhao Qing leading his troops to attack the Xiongnu this time?" ”

Although Lei Yan was very unhappy with Lu Chuan during the day, at this time, he still told the truth: "Such a large-scale war, to be honest, it is the first time for me, I can't give too many opinions, let Lu Chuan say it well." ”

Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at Lu Chuan, he rested his hands on his knees, his eyes reflected the firelight, and said with some hesitation: "Although I don't like him very much, I have to admit that he still has a lot of experience in fighting, although he has not experienced a big war, but his ability is still okay." Now we have to look at the question of whether his mind is right or not. ”

"It's hard to say about mental skills, the new emperor ascends the throne, if Zhao Qing is really a smart person, he should know how to do it. But there is one thing in the capital that makes me never feel at ease. ”

As soon as Wen Qingzhu thought of Zhao Ke's matter, he couldn't give Zhao Qing enough trust at all.

Lu Chuan was a little curious: "My father can also see that you don't trust him just because Zhao Qing is the emperor's person, so what is the reason for you?" ”

"Someone in the Zhao family is an undercover agent of the Huns, and he has been ambushed." Wen Qingzhu's tone was quite heavy, and she was also very entangled in her heart now.

Zhao Jiajun has been transferred, and the next thing is to see how Zhao Qing does it.

If Zhao Qing and the Xiongnu really have nothing to do with each other, then was the Zhao family only invaded by the Xiongnu?

"Zhao Qing has no reason to take refuge in the Huns! Although he has continued to seize power, he has basically not had a problem of direction on foreign issues. ”

Lu Chuan rarely said a word for Zhao Qing, Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "I also know this, so I have been hesitant, whether to really do it, after all, internal fighting is internal fighting, he is still the general of our Great Qi, and he can be regarded as a guard in Dingyuan." ”

The lights flickered, and it was very quiet inside the tent.

Wen Qingzhu couldn't fall asleep over and over, and couldn't help but think in his heart, is Sister Shuo's marriage really Lu Chuan?

Sending back the news of Lei Shuo's arrest, Wen Qingzhu was indeed impulsive, and he didn't think about Lei Shuo completely.

In a daze, Lei Yan's voice came from outside the door.

"Qingzhu! Did you sleep? I have something I want to tell you. ”

Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes, put on his clothes, and let Lei Yan in.

Seeing that he was still wearing the same clothes as when he left her tent, Wen Qingzhu knew that he had never planned to sleep.

"Why are you here so late? Didn't the matter of the spies be handed over to Lu Chuan? Why don't you sleep yet? Wen Qingzhu yawned as he poured him water.

Pushing the cup over, Wen Qingzhu saw his expression clearly, and he woke up instantly from drowsiness, and asked him carefully: "Are you worried about Sister Shuo'er?" ”

"Hmm." Lei Yan raised his head and showed a very serious and serious expression, "Qingzhu, you are smarter than me, and you are also very accurate in seeing people, tell me, is it true that Lu Chuan said that he is willing to go to Shuo'er?" ”

Wen Qingzhu stopped his body, poured himself a glass of water, and poured it down.

The cold water ran through her mouthpiece and into her stomach, calming her down as well.

She looked at Lei Yan and asked, "Do you think Lu Chuan is joking from time to time?" ”

Lei Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "What Lu Chuan said during the day, I don't think it's a joke. ”

"Why!" Lei Yan immediately asked, "He is the only remaining son of General Lu, he is young and promising, and his appearance and character are all superior, if he waits for the end of this Xiongnu matter, their Lu family is afraid that it will return to glory, and it is still our Lei family." ”

Wen Qingzhu looked at him helplessly: "Brother Lei Yan, I know that you have a simple temperament, but it doesn't mean that you don't think about many things, on the contrary, you have always been thinking about the Lei family." ”

"This, this is also something that can't be helped, my father's temperament, my mother has worked hard all her life, if I don't go on top, what should my grandfather do? He finally managed the Lei family well, he couldn't watch the Lei family suddenly decline, and his grandfather's hard work was in vain! ”

Lei Yan rarely talked about his father, and even Wen Qingzhu had seen his father with his own eyes.

Now it sounded like Lei Yan took the initiative to mention it, which made Wen Qingzhu feel a strange strange feeling.

Wen Qingzhu got up and sat down beside him and patted him on the shoulder: "You have done well enough, Lord Lei knows your intentions, not to mention that you are not bad now." There's no need to be presumptuous. ”

"Nope! I'm not presumptuous! I really can't compare to anyone! Lei Yan suddenly lowered his head, held his face in his hands, and shouted out in an extremely painful voice. 187

Wen Qingzhu was stunned, she had never seen Lei Yan like this before.

Through Lei Yan's fingers, Wen Qingzhu saw his helpless eyes, and couldn't help but say to her: "I won't talk about Su Huo Fu Yu and them, I can't compare to Lu Lei, and Brother Fu is even more out of reach!" I've been trying, but I can't keep up with you! Now that Shuo'er has been arrested, I can't do anything about it! I knew I was useless, but I really didn't know that I was so useless! ”

In the end, Wen Qingzhu even heard his trill, as if he was crying, but not as if he was not crying.

Wen Qingzhu suddenly didn't know how to comfort him, in her memory, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, Lei Yan was a young man with a very simple personality and a positive and sunny personality!

Even after many years, the world has changed, Lei Yan still maintains his original appearance.

"Lei Yan, I'll accompany you out on horseback to let off steam." Wen Qingzhu turned his head to put on his coat, tied his belt, and tied his hair up.

This is the border of Daqi, there are many dangers, Wen Qingzhu will not relax any vigilance, prepare poison and poison, sleeve arrows and daggers, and pull Lei Yan up when he turns his head.

Without informing the others, the two men quietly rode out of the camp and ran towards the pass.

After a short time, Wen Qingzhu wanted to go out, but Lei Yan grabbed her: "No! We can't go out, if something happens, it's a big deal! ”

Wen Qingzhu glanced at the outside of the pass, pointed to the right and said, "Since we can't go out, then we can always ride along the city wall!" ”

"That's fine." Although Lei Yan didn't agree with it in his heart, it was better to ride a horse along the city wall than to go out.

About half an hour later, the two men stopped under a beacon platform.

There happened to be a water source here, so Wen Qingzhu and Lei Yan dismounted and let the horses go to eat grass and drink water and rest.

Wen Qingzhu looked up at the top of the beacon tower, and in a large cauldron, there was a raging flame, reflecting the figures of the soldiers on duty, swaying slightly.

"Lei Yan, you see, the backs of the Great Qi soldiers are always so straight!"

Coming out to ride a horse, Lei Yan's mood was much better, and when he heard her words, he looked at her line of sight and couldn't help nodding: "Indeed, it is precisely because of them that the country of Daqi can be stable!" ”

Wen Qingzhu squinted at him: "So, Sister Shuo's matter is just an accident, according to speculation, Sister Shuo will be fine, if you are really worried, we might as well sneak into the Huns and rescue people!" ”

"No! Now it's-" Halfway through the words, Lei Yan was so moved that he couldn't say anything to refuse.

Wouldn't it be better if we could save Shuo'er!

Wen Qingzhu patted him on the shoulder: "Since you're here, let's go up and have a look." ”

She pointed to the beacon tower, and Lei Yan nodded suddenly.

Wen Qingzhu turned his head to lead the horse and walked to the edge of the small pond, but saw a trace of ripples on the edge of the pond.

She had her back to the moonlight, so the moonlight was shining head-on on the surface of the pond.

The ripples are very light, but Wen Qingzhu's eyes are excellent and he can see clearly.

From the beginning, the two horses only started drinking water once and have been grazing ever since.

This small pond is stagnant, how can there be ripples?

After a short period of contemplation, Wen Qingzhu naturally went to look at the two horses.

At this time, Lei Yan also walked over, and Wen Qingzhu gave him a look.

Lei Yan's breath suddenly stagnated.

Wen Qingzhu looked at the beacon tower, and the figure of the soldier seemed to have not moved.

They have been here for almost half an hour, and the soldiers stationed at the border are definitely serious, but they will never remain motionless.

Everyone is a living person, and it is normal for them to want to move.

Wen Qingzhu's nerves tensed, she raised her hand and pointed to the beacon tower, and then looked at the small pond behind her.

Lei Yan looked before and after, and immediately understood what she meant.

For the sake of insurance, Wen Qingzhu must strike first.

She quietly took out a bag of poison from her sleeve, held it in the palm of her hand, squatted on the edge of the pond, and deliberately pretended to wash her hands, but in fact sprinkled the poison into it.

The sound of dripping water sounded and disappeared, Wen Qingzhu got up and calmly led the horse away.

The two of them walked slowly towards the beacon tower, carefully watching the pond behind them.

Until the two finally reached the bottom of the beacon tower, there was still no response from the small pond.

Wen Qingzhu was relieved that the danger now was basically on the beacon tower!

Lei Yan stopped her and said to let him go up first.

As a result, a few steps up the stone staircase, there was a sound of footsteps on it.

Soon someone appeared in a swaying manner, a veteran who looked a little old, shaking his head, his nose and face were red.

As I walked, I suddenly had a full burp, and when I came with the wind, it was the smell of sake lees.

Wen Qingzhu covered his nose, this person drank wine.

Seeing that it was a soldier, Lei Yan relaxed for two points, raised his hand and shouted, "Which team are you from?" How can you drink in the middle of the night! ”

The clear scolding suddenly woke up the veteran, he hurriedly stopped, opened his eyes, and saw Lei Yan and Wen Qingzhu.

Lei Yan took out the token from his waist to show him, and the veteran suddenly woke up in fright, and hurriedly held on to the stone wall, so frightened that his soul was not possessed: "Big, my lord!" Why are you here at this time?! ”
