Chapter 31: The Inner Ghost
Walking out of the door, the soldier who had been waiting outside the door before, handed Zhaoyun's sword and said, "The general has prepared a place for Gongzi to stay, and Gongzi's entourage and horses have been settled, please come with me!" ”
The soldier spoke, leading Zhaoyun to the side courtyard of the mansion. It was a chic courtyard with black tiles and white walls, and a large courtyard enclosed. Outside the door, there were a dozen attendants and maidservants, and several soldiers were waiting to protect his safety.
Zhaoyun's horses were tethered to the stables on the side, although they were still thin, but they had already begun to show the heroic appearance of thousands of horses, and even those soldiers did not dare to approach them.
"Tell Ying Gong for me, and say that Zhao is grateful for his care."
The soldier nodded, and said, "Childe, the general has ordered, I don't know when Childe will leave for Xianyang?" The general will prepare the carriage and horses to see off the son. ”
"There is no urgency in this matter for the time being...... Zhaoyun smiled slightly, someone raised it, so he was not in a hurry; I just came out of Shudi, and I have to let him rest for two days anyway, "Please feed my horse with good feed, this horse is not for me to sit on, but for Qin Jun!" ”
When the soldiers heard this, where did they dare to slack off? casually looked at the neighing horse, with a black and shiny fur lined with a smooth mane, and there was a domineering spirit in his eyes that was not angry and self-threatening, and secretly called a good horse.
"I bother to ask, do you call Ying Gong a general...... What is a general? ”
The soldier hurriedly replied: "The general is sitting in Yongxian, firstly, to resist the invasion of the Shu Kingdom, and secondly, to find an opportunity to encircle and suppress the Xirong Zhuqiang, and to remove the obstacles in the rear for my Great Qin, so that Qin Jun can be indomitable and invincible in the Central Plains!" ”
Zhaoyun nodded, no wonder there were so many documents on the Ying Qian table, it turned out that in addition to political affairs, there were also a lot of military affairs.
"Dare to ask where are the Xirong Zhuqiang?"
"Since China wiped out the twelve small countries of Xirong three hundred years ago, the Xirong Zhuqiang have gradually dispersed, and there is no longer much climate, and they are even allowed to move to live in Guannai. The little girl that Gongzi met today also moved into the customs with his parents. ”
Zhaoyun was stunned: "Since that's the case, then Yinggong ...... him"
"Gongzi doesn't know, there is a country in the northwest of Yongcheng, which is Yiqu, and it has always been a trouble for my Great Qin! It is reported that in recent years, Yiqu Jun has been wooing the Xirong Zhuqiang to plunder our Great Qin, so he sent a general here to defend against the enemy in the west. ”
Before the annexation of Bashu, Qin's territory was indeed small and pitiful; He did not open up the Silk Road like the Han Dynasty, and even Gansu and Qinghai were Yidi's territory. The main purpose of Yongxian County was to defend against the invasion of Bashu, and the second was to defend against Yiqu.
After sending off the soldiers, Zhaoyun walked towards the room by himself, those attendants came up and asked them what they could do, Zhaoyun only let them continue to do what they had done before, he didn't need to be served, he was not comfortable at all.
As soon as he entered the door, Wu Jia greeted him, and his face seemed to be unkind: "Lord Shangqing, why did the official of Yongcheng keep the lord in the mansion?" Isn't it an adult who has defected to the enemy? ”
Before Zhaoyun could sit down, he was questioned like this, he looked Wu Jia up and down, and asked softly: "Wu Jia? ”
"In!"
"What do you do?"
Wu Jia was stunned: "It's Lord Shangqing's personal guard below!" ”
"Guards? I don't know you well, I don't know anything by name, how can you be my personal guard? Zhaoyun said coldly, the smell of gunpowder was extremely strong, "Don't speculate about things you don't know!" Don't forget who I am and who you are! ”
Zhaoyun especially hated the taste of restraint everywhere, and at first he thought of Wujia's loyalty, but he didn't care; But when he treats himself too much, Zhaoyun is not happy - what are you? If you are not related to me, why should you make a face to me?
Wu Jia's face turned blue, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "The subordinates are just ...... I'm afraid that Lord Shangqing will take refuge in the enemy country! ”
"Hehe, take refuge in the enemy country?" The sneer on Zhaoyun's face became even stronger, "I am from Shu State, but I am an official in Tho State, so I can already be regarded as taking refuge in the enemy country!" Originally, I didn't plan to be an official, but I was forced to be the secretary of state to envoy Qin, are you happy with me? You have the ability to be this secretary! ”
Wu Jia complained in his heart, how did he provoke this adult? He just asked, why is he so angry?
"Don't think I don't know, Hou Hou didn't send you here to protect me, but to spy on me!" Zhaoyun's face was gloomy, and he couldn't see his joy or anger for a while, even Wu Jia, who was five big and three coarse, and had never been afraid of things, felt a chill behind him.
This person...... It's not something he can afford to mess with!
If he had seen his martial arts again, Wu Jia would definitely not have such thoughts, but since he saw such an almost invincible speed and swordsmanship, he was completely aware of the gap between himself and this young man!
In the end, Zhaoyun shouted angrily: "Don't be arrogant about what I do, you are a general, not my cell boss!" ”
"Subordinate...... Know the mistake! ”
Although he was very unwilling, what Zhaoyun said did leave him speechless to refute. He was just standing by his side because of business, and he didn't even have a protective role, just surveillance, and it was natural for Zhaoyun to dislike him.
On the other hand, the invincible four brothers, others have gone all the way with him, although they have no lifelong friendship, but at least they are much better than him! He regarded the Invincible Four as friends, but he didn't take him seriously.
Even though Wu Jia was indignant in his heart, he didn't dare to come out.
"Boss, what did the official say?"
Seeing that Wu Jia was deflated, Invincible was obviously very happy, he was not happy with this guy for a while! As for talking to Zhaoyun, his tone was more like a greeting, not as condescending as Wu Jia.
Zhaoyun sat down, and someone hurriedly brought the sour plum soup to relieve the heat; moistened his throat and said, "It's nothing, I just helped the old general see a doctor!" ”
"Oh, the boss will still see a doctor!" The appearance of an invincible hippie smile.
Zhaoyun glanced at him and said with a smile: "What, you want me to treat you?" ”
"That's a good feeling, boss, help me take a look!" Invincible hurriedly followed the appearance of those patients and stretched out his hand to let Zhaoyun take the pulse, "In the past few days, I have been upset, my stomach is bulging, I feel as if something is scurrying in it, I usually don't eat well, and I always want to change my taste......"
Zhaoyun glanced at him: "Don't put it, you're happy!" ”
"Poof!"
Wu Jia on the side squirted out a mouthful of water directly, although he could hear that it was a joke, but the gap between him and the invincible was immediately revealed.
He can joke with Invincible, but he can never joke with himself......
How do you know that Invincible took it seriously, and even asked Zhaoyun to help him count him as a boy and girl, Zhaoyun couldn't cry or laugh, is this guy really stupid or pretending to be stupid?
"Childe."
Suddenly, the voice of the servant girl came from outside the door, and the invincible immediately quieted down, Zhaoyun didn't know why, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"There was a woman outside the door, saying that she was looking for the son who had just entered the door. Originally, the guards didn't let me in, but the slave thought that there might be something important, so I came to report to the son first! ”
"Woman?" Zhaoyun's first reaction was that the girl just now, but she wasn't a woman!
"Lead the way!"
Zhaoyun walked out of the door first, Wu Jia made a gesture to follow, but Zhaoyun shouted: "Sit down for me!" In the future, I will not be allowed to follow anywhere except in a hurry! ”
Wu Jia's face turned red for a while, but he could only sit down obediently, he had already scolded Zhaoyun in his heart, but he felt puzzled in his heart, why did Zhaoyun's personality change so much after visiting the officials in Yongcheng?
Could it be ...... Did he really defect to the enemy and betray the country?
Invincible didn't follow, and looked at Wu Jia with a mocking face, maybe knowing that he couldn't beat him, and he didn't provoke, so as not to suffer the consequences.
"Hey!" Wu Jia drank him.
Invincible ignored him, and still drank the sour plum soup in his hand.
"Why did Lord Shangqing go out of Sichuan?" He asked to himself.
"What's the matter with you?" Invincible said coldly, "The boss said, let you leave his business alone, and don't ask around there!" ”
Wu Jia endured the shame, hurriedly smiled, and said in his heart that he couldn't keep up with Zhaoyun, and he couldn't get some news from you?
"Big brother, I'm a newcomer, you should give me a face and tell me, okay?"
"Face? What face do you have? "Invincible is not afraid of him, I think when I saw him for the first time, he was so scared that he couldn't walk with a glare, but now he is not afraid, "Look at your groveling appearance, it is a shame to be a soldier like you!" ”
"You-"
"What am I? I'm telling you, I'm not going to tell you anything, anything! ”
Wu Jia is difficult to do now, Zhaoyun doesn't want to see him, and Invincible doesn't want to see him, as if he is a burden, and he doesn't even know what Zhaoyun said in the main hall just now, in case there is any useful information, then he ......
Looking out of the door, Wu Jia was ruthless in his heart, and said secretly: "Now...... That's it! ”
