Chapter 260: Hidden Crisis
At this time, Xiao Jingcong turned to look at Sun Li again and asked.
"General Sun hurriedly broke into the camp tent, is there any military information to report?" Xiao Jingcong knew that Sun Li's character had always been cautious and steady, and it was impossible for him to be so reckless, and he broke in without Xiao Jingcong's consent, so there must be something important to repay.
Sure enough, when he heard Xiao Jingcong ask, Sun Li hurriedly hugged his fists and told Xiao Jingcong.
"General Qiyu, I just received a secret letter from the officials guarding the city in Northern Xinjiang, they said that a banquet has been set up in the city and is waiting for General Xiao's arrival."
Xiao Jingcong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "How did those guards learn about our arrival?" Could it be that someone secretly leaked the news? "Xiao Jingcong is a rapid march all the way, and not many people know their whereabouts. So where did the officials who defended the city get the news? This really made Xiao Jingcong a little puzzling.
General Sun Li shook his head, "This last general doesn't know. General Xiao, what should we do now? Do you respond to their invitations? ”
"No, you don't." Xiao Jingcong waved his hand, he will camp here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. ”
"Yes!" Sun Li arched his hand, and after receiving Xiao Jingcong's order, he retreated and walked out.
After General Sun Li walked out, Yan Zixi breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Jingcong turned her head to look at Yan Zixi, and said with a smile: "Xi'er, it didn't scare you, did you?" ”
"It's okay...... it's okay" Yan Zixi patted her chest nervously, remembering General Sun Li's report just now, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Jingcong, our whereabouts are so secret, I also wonder how those guards learned the news that we are coming?" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jingcong calmed his face, sat down, and took a sip of tea calmly, before slowly replying, "How else can I know?" Someone in the army must have leaked the news......"
"You mean to say...... Are there any spies left in the barracks? When Yan Zixi heard what Xiao Jingcong said, she had already widened her big watery eyes in horror, and the cold hairs on her whole body stood upside down all of a sudden.
Xiao Jingcong nodded, "It's very likely......" Xiao Jingcong explained again, "This army was formed temporarily, and some of them were former cronies of the second prince, and they will definitely not go against this king." Along the way, he must have had some dealings with the second prince, and he has been obeying the secret dispatch of the second prince. ”
"What? Is there such a thing? Jingcong, then you don't care? Wouldn't all of our whereabouts be exposed? It's good that there hasn't been a war yet, but if we do fight the enemy, we can't be afraid that these people will stab us in the back! Yan Zixi also frowned, expressed the worry in her heart, and reminded Xiao Jingcong.
Yan Zixi said this, Xiao Jingcong naturally took it into account for a long time, but now is the time to employ people, don't beat others yet, he will mess up first, so Xiao Jingcong has always pretended to turn a blind eye, as long as he did not do anything particularly excessive and did not leak major military intelligence, Xiao Jingcong did not pursue it.
Xiao Jingcong said his thoughts, Yan Zixi nodded after listening to it, "Well, Jingcong, it turns out that you have already thought about it, you are right, if we engage in internal splitting first, it will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of." ”
"Yes, Xi'er, it's best if you can understand what it means to be a husband. But those people still have to be guarded against, and I haven't thought of any good ideas for this husband, Xi'er, you have a lot of ideas, I don't know if you have any good ideas? Xiao Jingcong looked at Yan Zixi and asked again.
Yan Zixi lowered her head and thought for a while, "Jingcong, do you see if you can do this...... We can have three or five people in a team, and the captain can supervise his soldiers, and in turn the soldiers can supervise the captain, do you think it's feasible? ”
Xiao Jingcong heard Yan Zixi's suggestion, thought carefully for a while, squinted and smiled: "It's feasible, but it's also feasible, but I don't know if it will work." ”
"Then you can try it first, anyway, you won't get pregnant, right?" Yan Zixi said with a big grin.
Xiao Jingcong almost burst out laughing after hearing this, "Okay, then do it according to Xi'er'......"
……
At night, Yan Zixi slept in the tent tossing and turning, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
After all, she was accustomed to the high bed and soft pillows in the General's Mansion, and now she was sleeping on a hard bed board and a mattress, Yan Zixi was naturally a little uncomfortable.
If Xiao Jingcong hadn't been by her side, she might have been unable to bear it a long time ago.
Xiao Jingcong also seemed to notice that Yan Zixi hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, so she gently hugged her into her arms and asked with a doting face, "Xi'er, it's late at night, why don't you sleep?" Are you waiting for the king's favor? ”
"Phew! I...... I don't have one! Yan Zixi heard Xiao Jingcong's bold words, her face turned red, and her heart thumped like a deer, Xiao Jingcong shouldn't give herself to the "Fa-rectification" in the barracks, right? If this is discovered by the soldiers outside, won't it be shameful to die?
Fortunately, these are just Yan Zixi's conjectures, Xiao Jingcong was very honest from beginning to end, hugged herself tightly, and did not make any drastic moves.
"Xi'er, if you want to, your husband will naturally satisfy you." Xiao Jingcong said jokingly to Yan Zixi in her arms. 516
Yan Zixi hurriedly shook her head like a rattle, her face was red like a ripe red pomegranate, fortunately, it was already late at night, there were no lights in the tent, Xiao Jingcong didn't see her shyness, otherwise in front of Xiao Jingcong, she really didn't have any face at all.
"Really, don't?" Xiao Jingcong deliberately asked tentatively, "My husband saw that you had been lying in bed for a long time and hadn't fallen asleep, thinking you were lonely!" ”
"No, no, no! Not really! Yan Zixi said and quickly pushed Xiao Jingcong away gently, then turned sideways, turned her back to Xiao Jingcong, closed her eyes tightly, and forced herself to sleep.
No matter how Xiao Jingcong behind him teased himself, Yan Zixi just didn't care.
In this way, after working hard until the second half of the night, Yan Zixi fell asleep in a daze.
It wasn't until early the next morning, before the fifth watch, that Yan Zixi was woken up by Xiao Jingcong.
"Wake up, Xi'er, it's time for us to go."
Yan Zixi reluctantly opened her sleepy eyes, and when she entered her eyes, she saw Xiao Jingcong, a heroic and majestic general, and little stars immediately popped up in Yan Zixi's eyes.
It's handsome!
This is the truest thought in Yan Zixi's heart.
Fortunately, he is my husband, otherwise, I would have died of jealousy!
Yan Zixi was secretly glad and drooled while silently thinking there.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, are you okay?" Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi stunned there, thought about it, hurried over, shook her body slightly, and called her.
"Oh, I know, I know, don't rush, I'll get up."
Yan Zixi regained her senses, muttered a sentence in her mouth, and quickly got up from the bed, looking for a topic to cover up her embarrassment in the past, "Jingcong, why did we march so early?" It's not even dawning! ”
"Who told you I was marching?"
Xiao Jingcong smiled mysteriously at Yan Zixi, urging Yan Zixi to get dressed quickly, but he didn't say the purpose, but sold the guanzi.
"What do you want to do?" Yan Zixi became more and more confused, and she couldn't figure out what Xiao Jingcong wanted to do at all. Don't you want a raid? But Beiliang and Yuan Xia haven't sent troops yet, so they don't need to be so grimaceous, right?
Xiao Jingcong didn't say it directly, but said with a smile: "You'll know later." ”
"Okay......" Yan Zixi responded, and got dressed honestly, when she saw the heavy armor that was removed yesterday, Yan Zixi frowned, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Jingcong, and said good things to him, "Jingcong, can I discuss one thing with you?" ”
"Tell me what is going on." Xiao Jingcong knew that Yan Zixi had a lot of ideas, so she didn't agree directly, but wanted to hear what Yan Zixi was going to do first.
But Yan Zixi didn't do it, "No, Jingcong, you have to promise me first, and I won't say it until you promise me." ”
"Okay, okay, my husband promises you, tell me, what the hell is going on?" Xiao Jingcong couldn't be stubborn, so she had to agree to Yan Zixi's request first, and then listen to her talk.
Yan Zixi didn't have any nonsense, she directly pointed to the heavy armor hanging on, looked at Xiao Jingcong with a sad face and said, "Jingcong, that armor is too heavy, can I not wear it?" ”
"Oh, I thought it was something, it turned out to be this......" Xiao Jingcong suddenly realized when she heard this, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement, "Okay, then you don't wear it, just wear the current civilian clothes." ”
"Really? Jingcong, I knew you were the best! Hearing that Xiao Jingcong agreed, Yan Zixi hurriedly rushed up and gave Xiao Jingcong a big hug.
"Okay, okay, don't bother, you clean up quickly, we'll leave now." Xiao Jingcong urged again.
Yan Zixi nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes, yes, I know, General Xiao!" Saying that, Yan Zixi got dressed vigorously and cleaned up, and it took no more than a quarter of an hour before and after, and the speed was so fast that even Xiao Jingcong was a little caught off guard.
In the past, when I was in the General's Mansion, I wanted to wait until Yan Zixi went out, and it was impossible to see people without sitting on the dresser for an hour or two to dress up. Now that it has been cleaned up in such a short period of time, Xiao Jingcong is indeed a little shocked. So much so that when Yan Zixi called Xiao Jingcong to set off, Xiao Jingcong still didn't react.
