Chapter 35 Seeing Through and Not Saying the Spiritual Rhinos Communicate Overnight, the secret merchant Mo Zhai led the way
"Truly! It's just that this king has only a short time in the church, and his qualifications are shallow. I don't know much about many of the details, and as for the rest, you will have to pay more attention to it yourself in the future, and inquire about it. ”
Du Jiang said, turned around and walked under the city tower. Seeing this, Wu Weiyi immediately called behind him:
"Your Highness, this is what you want to go? Don't you say goodbye to the princess? ”
Du Jiang didn't look back, and while walking, he waved his hand behind his back and said with a smile quite freely:
"Heh, what's there to say. If the plan fails tomorrow, everyone will have to go down to the Yellow Spring to get together. If you are lucky, it will come from the day of goodbye. Although he has become a defeated general today, he can take this opportunity to talk about the grievances and grievances with Wang Mei, which can be regarded as a matter of the king's heart, and there is no regret! ……”
Wu Weiyi saw that Du Jiang was gradually moving away, and suddenly remembered an important matter, so he immediately leaned towards the cuffs.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, slow down!"
Du Jiang stopped, tilted his head sideways and asked Wu Weiyi:
"What?"
I saw Wu Weiyi hurriedly running forward, respectfully handing over the Shu State Talisman in his hand to Du Jiang:
"I know that His Highness is in a hurry to use troops at the moment, and His Highness has entrusted this thing to His Majesty before, and now he should return it."
I only heard Du Jiang laugh when he saw this thing:
"What? Do you think that without the soldiers, the king really can't mobilize the soldiers in Shu? The reason why I gave you the talisman was just to make these Shu lieutenant generals who had followed this king for many years make senseless sacrifices. Seeing this talisman is like seeing this king. Now that the king is still here, what is the use of asking for this talisman? As the head of a country and the head of a division, if you have to rely on the handle to hold these vain things in order to manage state affairs, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world? Not to mention what the Spring and Autumn hegemony is! ”
After Du Jiang finished speaking, he laughed three times and strode towards the camp where the Shu master was held. And Wu Weiyi's experience of this incident has also greatly changed the character of Du Jiang and his people. Although Wu Weiyi is still noncommittal about many of Du Jiang's views, he also understands that there is no right or wrong in many things, and the so-called right and wrong are just subjective thoughts.
After Wu Weiyi watched Du Jiang leave, Wu Weiyi returned to Du Yu's side, only to see Du Yu standing on the edge of the city at this time, quietly looking at the smoke in the distance:
"Your Royal Highness Princess, your brother Du Jiang has gone to rest in the city. I'm afraid that tomorrow will be tired of running around again, so Her Royal Highness the princess should rest early. ”
Wu Wei said nothing, but when he saw that the princess was still facing him with her back unmoving, he didn't say a word.
"Princess? ……”
Wu Weiyi called her softly again, only to see Du Yu first quickly wipe the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief, and then turned around. Wu Weiyi looked up, although Du Yu had no sadness on his face. But the tear stains in the corners of the eyes and the slightly reddened cheeks are visible at a glance. Obviously, after Wu Weiyi left, the princess cried bitterly. It wasn't until he heard Wu Weiyi approaching that he stopped crying:
"Brother...... Has my brother ever told you how sure he is ...... tomorrow? ”
Seeing this situation, Wu Weiyi suddenly understood why Du Jiang would say goodbye to the princess, and thought silently in his heart:
"It's really a pair of childhood sweethearts brother and sister, this brother can't understand his sister's mind anymore. knew that if he said goodbye at this time, this sister would not let him risk his life. And this sister can be regarded as having a close relationship with his brother. Her brother had never mentioned it to her, but he knew exactly what he was planning for him. ”
Wu Weiyi thought of this, knowing that Du Jiang's plan to break through and lead away the Pakistani army could not be hidden from the princess no matter what. But he didn't want to make the princess feel sad anymore, so Wu Weiyi took it upon himself to polish Du Jiang's original words:
"Her Royal Highness doesn't need to worry too much. Your brother Wang also said that when this catastrophe is passed tomorrow, there will be a period of after-meeting. ”
Du Yu was wiped from the tears in the corners of his eyes by Wu Weiyi's words, and suddenly burst into laughter. Expectantly, he asked:
"Really?! Brother Wang really said this to Mr. ”
Wu Weiyi knew that the princess must have been looking at him expectantly at this time. But he didn't dare to look at the princess with his eyes, so he could only bow his head respectfully and reply:
"Indeed...... Her Royal Highness the Princess, now that the enemy is present, I hope that the princess will have a good life and recuperate today, and I will go out of the city with the princess to Yelang tomorrow. ”
After Wu Weiyi finished speaking, he was afraid that the princess would continue to ask, so he just said that he would discuss the evacuation tomorrow with Mo Zhai and the others.
When the princess saw Wu Weiyi and was about to leave, she asked again:
"Since there is something important, Mr. Wu just goes. It's just that...... I wonder what Mr. Wu is planning to do now? ”
Wu Weiyi thought about it for a while, and then replied:
"Naturally, we will send people to explore the way, and we will find Mixian Village first and then make plans."
Wu Wei said righteously, but seeing that the princess was silent for the time being, he wanted to leave:
"If the princess has nothing else to do, Wu will retire for the time being."
Just as Wu Weiyi retreated and turned to leave, he was called by the princess again:
"Mr. Wu, slow down...... If you are looking for people, how can you be empty-handed? That being the case...... The palace handed over the shadow given by the royal brother to Mr. Wu for the temporary custody of the palace. Although the palace doesn't know anything about swords, he also knows that this sword is valuable and cannot be missed. If it is in the hands of Mr. Wu, this palace can also feel at ease. I wonder what Mr. Wu thinks? ”
Wu Weiyi listened to it and felt that there was indeed some truth. So he respectfully took the Shadow Sword from the princess's hand. After that, he went down to the city tower alone, went to meet Mo Zhai and other servants, and discussed the next itinerary overnight.
In Picheng, although it is getting late at night, there is no light on the tower from the tower. Maybe it's because I've been exhausted for days, and I'm already exhausted. Or maybe it's because the fierce war is imminent, and they are all terrified.
Wu Weiyi came down from the city tower and went to his mansion to discuss with Mo Zhai and others about tomorrow's evacuation. Mo Zhai's clansmen originally fled to Shu from the south, so Mo Zhai took Wu Weiyi's meaning and gathered the clansmen who came all the way from Yuyu City to discuss together, and by the way, you can also inquire about the specific location of the "Mixian Village".
"My lord, with all due respect, from here to Yelang, all roads must pass through Yuyu City. If so, what are the shortcuts? It's really unheard of. ”
I saw that Mo Zhai's other clansmen also nodded their heads in private and discussed:
"Yes...... Yes, we fled all the way from Yelang to Shu Kingdom, and we all settled in Yuyu City. That's why they were sold as slaves in the city of fish......"
Wu Weiyi's answer to the audience was so affirmative, but he was a little puzzled. Silent recitation in my heart:
"These people who fled all the way from the south to this place are logically the most familiar with the mountain roads in the south of Shu, but they are all so categorical that there is no secret way. And the village that Du Jiang mentioned is even more ethereal and difficult to find...... How good is that? ”
At this moment, I heard an old man in the clan in the corner, half leaning on the corner of the wall and slowly opening his mouth. As soon as the old man spoke, they immediately fell silent and listened:
"Decades ago, Yelang never interacted with Shu, and our clan fled to Shu through Yelang in order to avoid the war, and we could only trace the water of the Minjiang River. In the following years, due to the long period of peace in Shu, the trade with the south gradually became more frequent, which paved the way to open up the trade route to the south, and now the trade road is from this, and the former waterway is no longer cared for. In other words, if you go down the Min River from here, there may be one or two ancient roads leading to Yelang! ”
Everyone gathered around and stood aside and quietly listened to what the old man said, and they all nodded in approval, feeling that the old man was indeed reasonable.
"That's right! Na Du Jiang once said to me that there are masters in the Mixian Village, who are a fisher and a cook. Since you are a fisherman and a hunter, you must have rivers and rivers! That is, it is in the eastern suburbs of Yuyu City, that is to say, we only need to go down the Min River and look for it in the east of Yuyu City, and we should be able to find something! ”
Wu Weiyi was clicked by the old man, and he suddenly realized. And Mo Zhai said to them:
"Mo Zhai, since this is the case, you and the two brothers will now set off for the Minjiang River ferry, and go down the river to the east of Yuyu City to find the traces of the two sages. Regardless of whether there are clues or not, we must go to the bank of the Minjiang River to meet us before the time. ”
As soon as Wu Weiyi said it, he saw Mo Zhai answer, and he immediately wanted to go out.
"Mo Zhai is slow!"
I heard Wu Weiyi stop him again, went out with Mo Zhai, held the shadow sword given by the princess Du Yu in his hand, and handed it to Mo Zhai and whispered:
"Mo Zhai, this parchment scroll has all kinds of secret charms and code words written on it, you must watch it carefully on the way here, and you and I will have to use this code language to communicate at that time. On this way, we must make more marks, so that we can grasp the details of the road at any time. Also, this is a token of Du Jiang, the king of Shu, if you find the two sages, be sure to ask him to come together to answer! ”
After hearing this, Mo Zhai took the Chengying and the parchment scroll from Wu Weiyi's hand.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Wu, Mo Zhai should keep it in mind!"
Mo Zhai said that, he quit Wu Weiyi and went all the way to the Minjiang ferry. Wu Weiyi glanced up, and saw that at this time, a bright moon was already hanging high in the night sky. Wu Weiyi saw that it should be late at night, so he went into the house again and said to the others:
"Alright, let's rest for a while. I'll go to the castle tower again, and I won't be able to miss the slightest mistake tonight. ”
After that, Wu Weiyi was about to get up and leave, but several young men came from behind him and said:
"Mr. Wu, if you want to walk at night tonight, you must be cautious! Or are we all with us? It's good to take care of each other. ”
Wu Weiyi stopped and thought about it, then nodded:
"Well, that's fine, then you'll have to work for you!"
So Wu Weiyi followed behind the three attendants and climbed the city wall all the way. I saw that the city walls were all neatly lit up, and all the guards were looking into the distance intently, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Not far away, I saw that on the winding and rugged halfway up the mountain, there were already sporadic fires flickering in it, and at a glance, it was clear that the Pakistani army was stationed on that half of the slope.
Just as Wu Weiyi and the generals were talking on the top of the city tower, there was a sound of marching at the city gate. Immediately afterwards, I heard a commotion from the downstairs of the city. I heard the guard of the city gate say sharply:
"The princess has an order! Tonight, no one is allowed to enter or leave Picheng! Everyone, please come back! ”
