Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 241 Blessings and Misfortunes
The intersection where Lu Xiang is located is the farthest road from the direction of the capital to Mobei, and he can't tell why he chose this road as his main guard, maybe it was his intuition. It didn't take too long to verify my intuition, and it was only half a day.
Looking south from the crossing, you can see a convoy coming towards Mobei, and you can know from the banner waving in the wind that this is the convoy of the Bai family in Annan. When the convoy got closer, I could see that the person at the head was a white-faced scholar, polite and temperamental. Behind the scholar was a tall man who didn't look like a native of the Central Plains, with a full beard, big shoulders and a round waist, and a lively walk, and the rest were some small guys.
Before the convoy reached the crossing, seeing someone guarding, the white-faced scholar stepped forward and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone: "Dare to ask what is going on?" I didn't see an army guarding the crossing when I traveled to and from Mobei before, so what's wrong today? ”
A general came out to speak, "This is a new order issued by the emperor, after all, Xiliang is on the side, and there is a war zone ahead, so it is reasonable to do a good job of defense." ”
"According to the following, your guards are not to prevent the enemy from entering the beam, but it looks like they are trying to prevent our people from entering Mobei?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you questioning the emperor's will? Who are you? ”
The white-faced scholar hurriedly put on a smiling face, took out a bag of silver ingots from his sleeve and stuffed it into the general's arms, and said, "Down is the official family of the Bai Family Medicine Workshop, and the one behind me is the deacon." Isn't it because there is a war in Mobei, so we came to sell some medicinal materials! ”
"You guys are quite knowledgeable, it's hard to make money at this time!" The general was quite satisfied with this official who knew the times, and his words were less guarded and more teasing.
"Look at what this military master said! We are all merchants, don't we have to go from south to north, and where there is business, we can drill there? Now that it is the imperial court to defend against foreign enemies, how can our Bai family take the opportunity to make money from the country? In fact, it was the imperial court that purchased our Bai family's medicinal materials, and we were responsible for transporting them. ”
The white-faced scholar said and took out a document from his bosom and handed it to the general, "This is a document issued by the imperial court for the purchase of medicinal materials, and I also ask the official to look at it." There should be an official seal of the official office under this! The white-faced scholar deliberately pointed to the red seal in the lower right corner of the paper.
The generals have not read for a few years, and they do not know many words, and it is very remarkable that they can understand a small part of this sprinkling of documents, after all, more soldiers can only write their own names. But the generals are very knowledgeable about seals, and when they see that it is the seal of the imperial court, they agree with the statement of the white-faced scholar.
"You're doing the right thing! The Bai family is also the No. 1 pharmacist in Daliang, and they always have to take their due responsibility at critical moments. ”
"That's what the official said!"
"Alright, alright, you guys go over!"
"Thank you, sir!"
As the group walked through the crossing, the general kept staring at the deacon, all because the deacon was too eye-catching, and his exotic face was so special in this convoy.
"Hey, you!" The general waved his hand at the deacon, "You don't look like we're from the Liang Dynasty?" ”
"Official, your eyes are so good! He was a person from Nanzhao, and he came to the Bai family as a pharmacist ten years ago, and he was promoted to the deacon of the branch because of his good performance over the years! ”
"It turned out to be from Nanzhao, no wonder!" Although the general said this, his eyes still kept looking at the deacon.
"The official doesn't know, Nanzhao is a lot behind the Liang Dynasty! Zai Xia was born poor since he was a child, and he has always wanted to gain fame, but he is not talented enough and has not been on the list several times, so he came to the Liang Dynasty to find opportunities. Who would have thought that I would get the opportunity to enter the Baijia Pharmacy to study, oops, I really cherish it, every day is to study hard, I remember one time......"
"Stop, stop! I'm not interested in knowing about you, so I'll ask you, what's your name? Also, take out your identity document and take a look! ”
"Under the name of Su Yijin! As for the identity documents, they are all in the housekeeper's place! ”
The white-faced scholar immediately walked over and took out the document again and handed it to the general, and at the same time explained: "Oh, sir, you have forgotten all of you, the identity documents of our people are all here!" I'll show it to the official! ”
The white-faced scholar began to flip through the stack of documents that were not too thin, and the general really couldn't wait, so he had to give up, "Okay, okay, I can still trust the Bai family, you hurry up!" ”
"Thank you so much, sir!"
So, the group successfully cleared the customs and slowly walked towards Yecang City.
As soon as the convoy turned a corner, it met a group of people who looked like shepherds, and it was Lu Xiang who took the lead, he stepped forward and said: "You are the people of the Bai family, I am the shepherd in Cangcheng this night, the road ahead is not very easy to walk, why don't you let us take a ride, you count some small money for us?" ”
The white-faced scholar glanced at the deacon, turned his head and said, "That's just right!" It's also my first time to come to Mobei, and it's safer to have you leading the way! ”
So the two factions of people and horses walked into Yecang City together, did not stop at the post station, and directly entered the Xuanjia military camp. In the tent, everyone took off their disguises and resumed their original identities: the white-faced scholar was Bai Luoyao; The deacon of Nanzhao was the king of Yu; Among the small servants under his command were Xuan Shaoning, He Lianping, Shen Ming and Yin Li, while Zhao Kexin, Chu Hanqian and Du Shaoyin stayed in the capital.
"The last general will see the general!"
"Get up, Lu Xiang, you can be considered to be quick-witted."
"The general has won the award, and now the situation in the city is still in the hands of Commander Pei, but there is just one more troublesome person."
"The imperial court must have made a move, who did they send?"
"Back to the general, the person who came is Xu Henian, the squire of the military department."
"So it's him?" King Yu pondered for a long time and said, "You find an opportunity to arrange for me to meet Pei Zhenghao!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Seeing Lu Xiang leaving, King Yu expressed his gratitude to Bai Luoyao, after all, the Bai family helped three times and twice, and sending charcoal in the snow was the most touching.
"Your Royal Highness has an overreputation, the Bai family has always put the family and the country first, and the Bai family should not be involved in the battle of the imperial court, but my father said that this Liang Dynasty should be sat down by His Royal Highness!"
"No matter what the final result is, Yun Qi will always remember the help of the Bai family! But for now, I hope you can leave as soon as possible and don't get involved. ”
"Thank you Your Highness for reminding me, Luo Yao originally planned to leave with the convoy in a few days." When Bai Luoyao spoke, he kept looking at Xuan Shaoning who was standing aside.
King Yu is not a nervous person, he vaguely felt Bai Luoyao's eyes, so he offered to go out first, leaving the space for the two of them.
"Luo Yao!"
"Shaoning, it's been two years since we last parted, and I haven't seen you write a letter for so long, so I think you must be busy with official business."
"It's my negligence, it's really one thing after another, even going back to the academy to see it is delayed again and again, and now the academy is completely in ruins......
"If you have a heart, you are not afraid of being late! My father had already heard about the changes in the court, so he sent me to help. King Xiang is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and it is not a good thing for him to become the new Emperor Liang for Da Liang, and his father has always belonged to His Royal Highness King Yu in his heart. Now your situation is very dangerous, and there is Xiliang eyeing you outside; I still have to guard against the black hands of the imperial court, how I want to help you here. ”
"Your peace is the greatest help to me. Luo Yao, I ......" Xuan Shaoning was speechless, he didn't know how to explain to Bai Luoyao that he already belonged to his heart, and he was still in love with the princess of the Liang Dynasty.
"What's so hard to say? We've been classmates for so many years, and you still don't believe me? ”
"Of course not! It's just that I can feel your feelings for me, and once I had the same feelings, that is, ......"
Without waiting for Xuan Shaoning to finish speaking, Helian Ping opened the camp tent and came in and urged: "Hurry up and get ready, Tai Qiu'an is here!"
After receiving the appointment of Emperor Liang, he did not delay at all, and immediately rushed towards Mobei, this is his opportunity to make meritorious contributions, this is his opportunity to perform well in front of Emperor Liang, naturally he cannot miss it.
The speed of the Baijia convoy was really fast enough, only a few hours slower than the Bai family's convoy, and the crossing they chose was from the capital to the nearest to Yecang City, so just less than an hour after the Bai family's convoy arrived, the Shentai Qiu'an had already led the Divine Killing Raid into Yecang City.
The first destination after entering the city was naturally the command post of the Xuanjia Army, and Yutai Qiu'an rode away on horseback. At the same time, Lu Xiang was also taking King Yu to find Pei Zhenghao.
