Chapter 182: The smell of conspiracy is everywhere

Lanzhou

Sun Dezhang saw that his handsome case flew like pieces of paper, piled up with the Liao people's war reports that harassed various villages and counties, but his face was not sad but happy, it seems that Yelu Xiuke really had a trouble with Empress Xiao this time, and the shortage of food in the army also made him anxious, and the little prince who came and went like the wind actually led the Khitan cavalry with tall men and horses to loot around like mountain bandits.

"Governor Dadu, Zhao Baihu asks to see!"

The sound of the soldiers outside interrupted Sun Dezhang's thoughts,

"Let him in!"

A few Xia army sergeants in armor walked in outside the door, and there was a sturdy person who was tied up like a wild boar behind him.

"Is this .........?"

Zhao Baihu took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee and arched his hand, "Governor Qiyu, this morning I was ordered to rhyme with the grain and grass sent to Sucheng, and was attacked by the Liao cavalry halfway, and led the crowd to fight to the death to defeat it, and captured a wounded Liao soldier who was wounded and fled. ”

Sun Dezhang saw that there was a bloody hole in the leg of the Liao soldier, I don't know if he was shot by an arrow or a gun, and when he was dragged over along the way, he left a mess of blood, and his mouth was panting heavily, and it seemed that the injury was not light.

He walked around the handsome case and stepped forward and asked him, "What's your name?" But the people of Jerodhuko? ”

The Liao soldier stared at Sun Dezhang with bloody faces and didn't answer.

Sun Dezhang was not angry when he saw that he didn't speak, turned around and took the plum blossom cake that was sent to him in the morning from the handsome case, and shook it in front of the Liao people with a smile.

As he expected, the tall and mighty Khitan looked like he hadn't eaten for many days, and the two eyes that were full of hostility just now were all filled with plum blossom cakes in his hands at once.

"I asked you, and if you were right, I would give you all this plate of pastries to eat, and let you go. But if you're wrong, I'll kill you right away!" ”

Liao Bing looked at the food in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of spit, no matter how tenacious the willed person is, there are very few people who can withstand the noise of the Five Organs Temple, he seemed to be entangled for a while, and then nodded slowly towards Sun Dezhang.

Sun Dezhang smiled with satisfaction, and handed the cake in his hand to his mouth, "Answer my question just now." ”

"My name is Mu Wu, the former army commander, and I was ordered by the general to loot the grain and grass of the Xia army to supplement the army."

"How much grain and grass do you have in your camp?"

Liao Bing shook his head, "I really don't know about this, I just know that the grain that I grabbed in various villages and counties before has been eaten, and many people have begun to secretly kill war horses to fill their stomachs." I heard that in a few days, the whole army will run out of food. However, the general was not allowed to kill horses privately, and we were afraid of violating military law, so we had to take our brothers to steal food. ”

Sun Dezhang asked him: "Our grain transportation team is escorted by hundreds of elite soldiers, and one of you is a dozen people, right?" How dare you risk your life to rob food? ”

"There's no way, there is an order from above, you must grab a stone of food every day, otherwise you will be killed, anyway, it will be a death, it is better to fight."

"Where is your camp now?"

"The general has an order, in order to prevent the Xia army from sneaking attack, retreat thirty miles and camp in Hanlin."

"Good!"

Sun Dezhang's old face was full of smiles, he turned around and put the plate of plum blossom cakes in front of Liao Bing from the handsome case, and then motioned to Zhao Baihu, "Let him go!" ”

"My lord, he ........"

Zhao Baihu looked a little reluctant, according to his thoughts, the Liao soldier finished what he had to say, and he was about to kill him with a knife.

Sun Dezhang waved his hand at him, "The old man is a talker, let him go!" ”

"Yes! Grand Governor! ”

Zhao Baihu looked at the Liao soldier with a face, pulled out his crotch knife and cut off the hemp rope that helped him, and then kicked him angrily.

"Don't get out of here!"

In case of amnesty, the Liao people did not forget to pick up the plum blossom cake on the ground, and ran out of the big tent with a roll.

Now it seems that the camp of Yelu Xiuke is even more difficult to continue than he imagined, otherwise these Liao soldiers would not seem to attack the Xia army with a force of thirty or fifty cavalry.

Thinking of this, Sun Dezhang planned to send a small group of people to Han Lin to find out the truth, he turned his head to look at Zhao Baihu,

"Zhao Baihu fought bravely to kill the enemy, not only protecting the grain and grass in the army, but also capturing the Liao soldiers and even bravely, which is a great achievement."

When Zhao Baihu heard this, his heart was like honey,

"Most of the governors have won awards, which should be done by subordinates."

"This commander plans to let you take a team of 800 soldiers and horses to Han Lin's night attack on Yeluxiuke's camp to find out the truth, I don't know if you have the courage to go?"

Zhao Baihu himself was here just now, it's not that he didn't hear what the Liao soldier said, and he felt that the famous little prince's camp was already panicked, even if he took these hundreds of people to kill two Liao soldiers and put a fire, it would be enough to come back and show off his might, and the governor of the capital would be happy when the time came, and it was not impossible for him to be a thousand households.

Thinking of this, he also said aloud to Sun Dezhang: "I am willing to do it!" Let the Governor send you! ”

The opportunity must not be lost and the time will not come again, Zhao Baihu feels that this kind of opportunity must be seized of course.

Sun Dezhang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!" Then act tonight! ”

It's night

The south gate of Lanzhou City was quietly opened, and the cavalry team of 800 people, under the leadership of Zhao Baihu, bypassed the Lanzhou city wall and headed towards Han Lin in the northwest......

...................

Qingcheng North Lane

He Liu lit a slightly thick candle in this dark small stone room underground, and did it all day with the flickering firelight, and he was about to fall asleep on the table before he heard a movement on it,

"Giggle~"

There was a familiar sound, and down the steep staircase came a man in a burlap robe, who looked at his smooth face and fair skin comparable to that of a woman, and obviously did not look like the owner of the burlap robe, and even the mustache on his chin looked very unnatural.

When He Liu saw the man coming down, he hurriedly got up respectfully and bowed his hand to him: "Say hello to Grandpa Sun." ”

The man who was called Grandpa Sun walked up to the stone table and sat down, and asked in a shrill voice, "Sixth son, how is the matter going?" ”

He Liu knowingly took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms, handed them to Father-in-law Sun's hand, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't worry, everything is in order, this is the silver that He Ji received in the pharmacy, I will receive it in the future, no matter what the benefits are, I will take it to honor my father-in-law." ”

"Hmm~"

Grandpa Sun was very satisfied and stuffed the thick pile into his arms, nodded and said, "Even if you have filial piety, it will not be in vain for me to help you work." I will go to the prince's side, and in the future, the affairs of the northwest will be handed over to you, so be careful, don't make a mistake for me, you can't afford to spoil the prince's big business. ”

"That's that, I just have nine heads, and I don't dare to delay the big thing of the Chitose Lord, I will do my best in the future, the Chitose Lord is over there....... Hehe, I have to rely on your father-in-law to give me a few more good words. He Liulian promised,

Grandpa Sun agreed and stood up, "The time in the north is set here when the prince is here, and he will contact you again, you are ready." ”

Don't turn around and walk towards the stairs,

"Yes, yes, under orders."

Grandpa Sun walked up the steep staircase without two steps, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he turned his head to He Liu, who had a flattering face, and ordered: "By the way, the prince asked me to tell you that comfort is not easy to get along with, so you must be careful when dealing with him." ”

He Liu nodded yes again and again.

After Grandpa Sun walked up, he walked out of the door with two guards who were also dressed in linen, and he didn't know that he had just walked to the street in North Lane, and he was knocked to the ground by a short man.

"Oops! Blind your dog's eyes! ”

Grandpa Sun is not a man, so he naturally doesn't have any strength on his body, and he was hit by this short man with strong limbs.

The two guards beside him hurriedly helped him up, and when he was about to chase the man, the man had disappeared without a trace.

Grandpa Sun held his waist and waved his hand at the two, "Forget it, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, don't make trouble, let's go." ”

The two guards supported the grinning grandfather Sun who was hit, and quickly walked out of the north alley.

Of course, the person who hit him was Hu Yuhua, he waited behind this house for a day, but no one came out, listening to the voice of the girl inside one after another and screaming for a while, he knew that something was wrong,

This He Liu is a cow, and a woman can't be allowed to bark in it all day!

So he turned to the front of the house again, and only then did he see this grandfather-in-law go in.

Grandpa Sun was fast, and he came out after a cup of tea, Hu Yuhua knew that they must be tired, but they couldn't get close, so he thought of such a method, and with the help of this kung fu that Sun Gonggong bumped into, he quickly pulled off a jade plate from his waist.

Hu Yuhua then took the jade card in his hand in the moonlight, the dark yellow texture was faintly exuding luster in this night, the hollow carving in the middle of the round outline looked like a word shrunken in a ball, and it looked like a dragon-like thing, and the huge jade plate did not have a trace of flaw in the whole body, and it was not an ordinary product at a glance.

Hu Yuhua naturally didn't know what this was, so he rushed to the comfortable residence as soon as possible and handed this thing into his hands.

An Yi was already planning to turn off the lights and rest at this time, and discussed some profound life issues with Liu Siyi on the bed, when he heard Jin Mingyin call him and say that it was Hu Yuhua who came, he quickly put on his nightgown, covered the light cigarette veil on the delicate jade body, and then took a hard sip on Liu Siyi's cheek, turned around and walked out of the door,

When he took the jade plate that Hu Yuhua got from his grandfather-in-law, he also felt something unusual, and An Yi vaguely felt that this thing didn't come out of the palace, but neither of them recognized it, so he thought about going to Lanzhou in person to ask the King of Shu to help take a look, I don't know if he recognized it or not.

However, one thing can be certain, as expected, He Liu, a traitor seeking glory, is still playing his own small abacus!

He instructed Hu Yuhua to continue to keep an eye on He Liu, and report any abnormal situation in time, An Yi wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.
