Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Disappeared Lingxia Hundreds
Yuxiajiang is located in the most central position of the one hundred and eight territories of the Xia Dynasty, the area is the largest among all the territories, and the natural resources are also the richest among all the territories, and the lord of the territory of Yuxiajiang is the prince of the dynasty.
There are nine territories around Yuxia Frontier, like nine guards standing around, those nine territories will surround Yuxia Frontier in the most central position, and the lords of those territories are the nine sons of the current emperor, this lineup is called the Nine Kings Protector.
"Captain, where are we going?" Lao Cui looked at Ling Xia, who had a solemn face recently, and couldn't help but ask him.
"Imperial Capital!" Ling Xia replied briefly and forcefully.
After saying "oh", Lao Cui no longer asked, since the last time Ling Xia talked to Peng Lie, Ling Xia suddenly ordered to march at full speed, everyone dressed up as scholars and students, and galloped all the way from the territory of Wen'anjiang, more than ten days passed, and everyone finally took a shortcut and walked out of Wen'anjiang.
After leaving Wen'an Xinjiang for hundreds of miles, Ling Xia pointed to the east and said that as long as he faced the sun all the way to the east, and then passed through the "Qili Frontier", "Ziwei Frontier" and "Juniper Frontier", he could reach the "Yuxia Frontier" where the imperial capital was located.
Qili Frontier and Ziwei Frontier are better, both territories are controlled by Wenchen, because of the civil and military confrontation of the imperial court, there are few battle guards in Wenchen's territory, Ling Xia and they advance from these two territories, and the pressure is much less than that of other territories.
But Hinoki Xinjiang is in trouble, that is the territory of the Seventh Prince Xia Yuanxiao, Xia Yuanxiao is the current military department of the Shangshu, one of the three giants of the military world, it is because of this background that the military discipline in Hinomu Xinjiang is strict, and the war guards are extremely strict with the vehicles and pedestrians entering and leaving the imperial capital.
Seeing that everyone was a little heavy when they heard Xia Yuanxiao's name, Ling Xia immediately swallowed back the words that followed, he pretended to be indifferent, and told everyone not to be nervous, he had already thought of a way to cross the juniper frontier.
Through the recent run-in, the soldiers' dependence on Ling Xia has become deeper and deeper, in their eyes, as long as Ling Xia makes a move, there is nothing that cannot be done, hearing that Ling Xia has already thought about paying attention, everyone is relieved.
"You didn't think of a way at all, what are you going to do then?" Peng Lie couldn't help but ask Ling Xia, this was the first time he had spoken to Ling Xia since the last time he spoke.
"Cold salad." Glancing at Peng Lie, Ling Xia said without leaving his bank: "If you give me the ability to drive wild wolves, maybe I can think of a good way?" ”
Ling Xia thought that his request this time would still be rejected as usual, but he didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, Peng Lie nodded: "Although I can't teach you the skill of driving a beast, I can help you tame a beast, if you fancy a certain beast, I can help you tame it." ”
"Really? That's great. Ling Xia let out a happy breath, and then said with excitement on his face: "You help me tame the wolf king I met from the forest before, I don't like other animals, I like that wolf king." ”
"This ------" coughed embarrassedly, Peng Lie told Ling Xia: "You change it, that wolf king is a wild beast, I can barely drive it away, but I can't tame it, if you want the beast to be a pet, try to choose some newborn." ”
"Started training from a young age?" Ling Xia was speechless: "I thought you were so amazing at this skill, but it turned out that you have been trained since childhood, this is no different from dog training, dog training is the same, as long as you master the skills, you can make the trained animal understand the owner's instructions." ”
"This skill is not as simple as you say, since you don't need me to help you train animals, then forget it." Seeing that Ling Xia actually questioned his skills, Peng Lie showed a trace of displeasure on his face.
"If you want it, why don't you give it for nothing." Responding with a smile, Ling Xia added with a smile: "Being stimulated by you like this, I really thought of a wonderful idea that can bring the golden cicada out of its shell, and no one will be able to stop us when the time comes." ”
After the words fell, Ling Xia looked at Peng Lie beside him and asked with a smile, "You don't care who I will give you to?" After entering the imperial capital, I will take you to the errand, and we will never see each other again. ”
"I'm curious, too, to be honest, I'm curious to know who you're going to give me to? But I know you won't tell the answer. Peng Lie said indifferently.
"That's right, hehe......" Ling Xia laughed twice with a mysterious expression.
Instructed everyone to pack their luggage, and when everyone was almost resting, Ling Xia continued to beckon everyone to hurry, in order to avoid attracting attention, and also to reduce trouble, Ling Xia warned everyone not to meddle in things when they were traveling.
The last time in Wen'an Xinjiang, everyone encountered a group of bullies on the road to rob relatives, because they were not used to the actions of the bullies, Ling Xia took the lead in rushing up and beat the bullies and their subordinates.
Ling Xia and the others were very happy at the time, but later Ling Xia and they were chased by the local catchers to the boundary of a province, if it weren't for the cross-province, it is estimated that the catchers would not let them go, with this lesson, everyone was cautious and restrained a lot when they marched.
After everyone was ready to go, Ling Xia asked everyone to change out of their clothes, this time, Ling Xia asked Yang Lucai to buy a batch of tea, and everyone pretended to be a caravan selling tea.
……
"Black kill, what about the Lingxia 100 team? What about Peng Lie? It's been sixty-three days, why haven't they been seen yet? The middle-aged man's face was gloomy and about to drip water, looking at the black shadow kneeling on one knee in front of him, he said in a calm tone:
"Ten days, I'll give you another ten days, whether it's Peng Lie or Ling Xia's 100-man team's whereabouts, you have to find out for me, after ten days, if there is no trace of them, you can go to the Tiger Division to sweep the pigsty."
"Your Excellency, that Ling Xia is really too cunning, his subordinates can't find his whereabouts even if they try any means, and even the trading building only knows that they have been to the Warhammer Division, and they can't find any information about him otherwise."
Speaking of this, the black shadow looked up at the middle-aged man, and seeing that the other party's expression was a little loose, he took the opportunity to ask: "I hope that my lord can give me more time, and my subordinates promise to find out the whereabouts of Ling Xia Bai and Peng Lie." ”
"Can't even the people in the trading building find out Ling Xia's whereabouts?" Muttering to himself, the middle-aged man nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a little more time, more than a hundred big living people, they can't disappear out of thin air, right?" Where are they? ”
……
The mansion of Xia Yuanxiao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, at this time, Xia Yuanxiao was also asking about Ling Xia's whereabouts, and when he learned that the guards stationed in various places for investigation still did not find the whereabouts of Ling Xia's hundred-man team, Xia Yuanxiao's face showed a trace of solemnity:
"It's been more than two months, that centurion Ling Xia, it is really unbelievable that he can hide his traces so well, the notice of the military department has long been all over the world, but he has been reluctant to hand over Peng Lie, it seems that this Ling Xia is not going to hand over people to me.
Now the entire imperial court knows that I have mobilized heavy troops to station at the intersections of various cities, and I will do my best to check the whereabouts of Ling Xia's 100-man team, if I use so many people and can't find a single Ling Xia, I will definitely be laughed off by those civil servants.
Increase the intensity of the investigation, in addition to our territory, those territories controlled by Wenchen, also try to send people to intercept the investigation, if this still doesn't work, then transfer Nangong Bo back to the military department, I personally talk to him, ask him where he hid people. ”
……
The Governor's Mansion of the Praetorian Guard, Nangong Xiongba stood in the garden to enjoy the flowers, although he was in the midst of a hundred flowers, but his mind was not here at all, at this moment, a carrier pigeon slowly flew into the mansion and landed directly on the window frame of the study.
Walked to the window, grabbed the carrier pigeon, and took out a roll of secret letter from the barrel of the pigeon's leg, after reading it, he frowned slightly, and after putting the secret letter away, he whispered softly: "Ling Xia, Ling Xia, where did you get Peng Lie?"
This person did not hand over Peng Lie to the Ministry of War, nor did he hand over the person to the Praetorian Guard, what was his idea? There is still a month left before the princess competes to recruit relatives, so don't rush the two things together. ”
Just when the three forces were worried about finding Ling Xia's hundred-man team, Ling Xia led his hundred-man team to appear in the territory of Hinoki Territory.
