Chapter 117: Return to the Letter
There was a constant flow of people under the walls of Hangu Pass, and people of all nationalities had to hand over their identification, and if they didn't, they might have eaten many prison meals.
General Yang Bai, as always, commanded his subordinates to check the passers-by, for them, this day was just a normal day.
"How's it going today?"
The appearance of a voice made Yang Baijiang startled, and he hurriedly saluted behind him: "Qianjiang, why are you here?" ”
Wang He looked at the passers-by and sighed lightly: "If you don't come, you can't do it, Xianyang has an important person, if I don't come in person, I'm afraid that he will think that I didn't take this matter to heart......"
"What?" Yang Baijiang looked at him puzzled.
"Do you remember that guy from two months ago?"
"That person?"
Looking at this wooden head, Wang He couldn't help but shake his head: "Why is your memory so bad?" Two months ago, the city walls, nourishment! ”
"Raising ...... Oh! Come to think of it, you are talking about that ......"
"Shh Wang He hurriedly made a silent gesture and said in a low voice, "Don't forget, we told him that day that we would keep it secret and I won't wait for the investigation, and you will not leak your mouth!" ”
General Yang hurriedly shut up, nodded and asked, "But Qianjiang, why did you mention him?" ”
Wang Hedao: "The person who came from Xianyang was locked up in Hangu, and when he came back, he took him back to Xianyang, and he couldn't delay for a moment...... Tsk, he also said that if he misses the deadline and doesn't come back this month, the king will definitely clean him up! ”
Thinking of the boy who shocked them two months ago, Yang Baijiang couldn't breathe. It's just that it's the end of December, and tomorrow is January, can he rush back?
"Remember, that man came back and immediately reported me that I had missed the hour, and the military law served!"
"No!"
After Wang He gave the order, he turned his head and left, leaving Yang Baijiang alone to wipe the cold sweat and instruct his subordinates: "Strictly investigate, if anyone under the age of twenty passes by, report it immediately!" ”
……
However, there are hundreds of teenagers who pass by Hangu Pass every day? If you have to report every one, won't you tire yourself out?
Sure enough, in just one morning, two hundred teenagers entered the checkpoint, and the busy Yang Baijiang was anxious, but none of them were Zhaoyun, which directly made Yang Baijiang collapse.
In the end, he had no choice but to stand at the pass in person, looking at these busy pedestrians, hoping to see two familiar faces.
Until noon, three ox carts slowly drove into Hangu Pass.
The ox cart is not a strange means of transportation, and Yang Baijiang did not take it to heart, because Zhaoyun only has one ox cart, and these three are definitely not Zhaoyun.
The soldiers, as always, stood in front of the front and said to the chauffeur at the front: "Where did they come from, how many people are there, and what are the so-called goings, can there be a test?" ”
The coachman didn't speak, and the Qin Yue people at the front walked out slowly, saluted the soldier, and said, "I am a Qin Yue person, from Luoyang, and I want to go to Xianyang." As for the testimonial...... Not really. ”
The soldier's face changed directly: "If you don't have a pass, you need to go with us and verify your identity before you can be released!" ”
Qin Yueren's face was embarrassed: "Can you be accommodating?" I'm in a hurry to go to Xianyang, and if I miss today, I'm afraid there will be trouble. ”
"No! This is the law of Qin, not made by me; If you don't comply, don't blame me for being polite! ”
Suddenly, the faces of those soldiers changed, and they pointed at Qin Yueren with a long spear in their hands, and their faces were not good: "Please cooperate!" ”
General Yang Bai saw that there was a dispute here, so he came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Hundred generals!" The soldier immediately stood upright, "This person claims to be from Qin Yue, and he wants to go to Xianyang but has no pass, we will take him to check his identity according to the rules, but he said that he will go to Xianyang today, and he is unwilling to cooperate." ”
General Yang Bai was not angry, and after saluting Qin Yueren, he said: "The old gentleman is a foreigner, and he doesn't dare to add guilt to the laws of my Qin State, but please understand the difficulties of our waiting." ”
Qin Yueren's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Dare to ask this hundred generals, how many days will it take to verify the identity?" ”
"It takes three or five days."
He shook his head: "No, one of the people in my car needs to rush to Xianyang today, if you miss the time, I am afraid of trouble." ”
Yang Baijiang was also reluctant to use force on an old man, so he could only loosen his mouth and say: "That person is a Qin person?" ”
"He said yes."
"Since it is a Qin person, there must be a test pass, and you can leave after the inspection. But if you want to get to Xianyang, you'll have to go with us first. ”
Qin Yueren finally nodded, and was about to shout at the rear car, but he heard a screaming voice suddenly coming from the third ox cart: "Is this Hangu Pass?" Sure enough, it's the best in the world! There is a river next to it, and it is really dangerous......"
This laughter came, which made Qin Yueren a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, there is a patient in my car, his mood is a little unstable, and he makes a fuss when he sees everything." ”
After that, without waiting for General Yang Bai to speak, Qin Yueren shouted towards the rear car: "Zhaoyun, come out quickly to verify your identity!" ”
Zhaoyun?
Yang Baijiang scratched his head, why did he feel so familiar with this name?
However, as soon as the curtain on the bullock cart opened, he was startled.
"It's you!"
……
Wei Ran was lying on the floor in the camp, a little apprehensive in his heart.
Some time ago, the king of Qin criticized Zhaoyun for not being punctual, if he didn't come back in January and missed the time to cut down Shu, he would be a criminal minister of Great Qin!
Wei Ran was shocked when he heard this, obviously the King of Qin praised Zhaoyun verbally some time ago, saying that he joined forces with Chu and was a hero of the Qin State, why is this hero so worthless?
"Isn't this guy going to come back?"
Wei Ran was very anxious, although being late for a few days was just a fine and whipping, but if it was written down by King Qin, I am afraid that it would be difficult to get ahead in his life. Wei Ran has a good relationship with Zhaoyun, and he doesn't want this guy to do nothing in his life.
Otherwise, he would not have put down his official duties and ran to Hangu Pass to wait for others.
"Lieutenant, here's coming!"
Wang Hema came non-stop, taking Yang Baijiang and Zhaoyun all the way; Before Zhaoyun knew what was going on, he was taken to Wei Ran's side.
Wei Ran looked at Zhaoyun, Zhaoyun looked at Wei Ran, staring at him with big eyes, and no one couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you willing to come back?" Wei Ran scolded, "Two days later, King Qin still thinks that you have betrayed the enemy!" ”
"Things have changed, how do I know that there is so much trouble along the way?" Zhaoyun shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to pick me up in person, I'm quite moved." ”
Wei Ran glanced at him and said what Zhaoyun said to him at the beginning: "I'm not good at Longyang!" ”
The two of them damaged each other, and Wang He and Yang Baijiang, who were watching, were at a loss, and finally found an opportunity to interject: "Lord Lieutenant, there are more than a dozen people traveling with Zhaoyun, are they detained to verify their identities?" ”
Wei Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Zhaoyun, "Who are these people?" ”
"Divine Doctor Bian Que and his apprentices, have you heard of it?"
"Bian, Bian Que?" Wei Ran was stunned, it was impossible for him not to have heard of this name, "Why did you still get in touch with the divine doctor?" ”
Zhaoyun raised his head and said: "I spent a lot of money to invite him, and I troubled him because my tribesmen are sick." ”
"Heavy money...... Wei Ran looked him up and down, "Where did you get the money?" If I'm not mistaken, you should have just enough money to pay for your journey, right? ”
"Learn a little, you don't have to use money for everything!" Zhaoyun smiled mysteriously.
Wei Ran shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then stood up and said solemnly: "They don't need to verify their identities, but Zhaoyun, you must rush to Xianyang with me today, otherwise the king will be angry, but you and I can't stand it!" ”
Zhaoyun was puzzled: "Isn't it time yet?" What is the King of Qin angry about? ”
"You don't know anything about the king at all......," Wei Ran sighed lightly, "He gave you three months, and you have to come back in two and a half months, otherwise if you come back in time, he will feel that you have no reverence for him!" Other words...... You're ten days late. ”
"Holy! Can I be blamed for this? I have shed blood for Daqin, he can't do this to me! ”
Wei Ran smiled: "If you dare to say this in Xianyang Palace, I will obey you!" I don't have time to explain, hurry up and rush to Xianyang with me, as for Bian Que and his party, let them come slowly! ”
Zhaoyun looked resentful, how could his heart be like this?
“…… Can you keep me from dying? ”
Wei Ran smiled: "If you can bribe me, I will find a way to protect you!" ”
Wang He and the others were stunned, and said in their hearts, should they leave quickly? This lieutenant is so bold to ask for a bribe here!
Zhaoyun looked at him with a wicked smile on his face, knowing that this guy definitely didn't want any heavy reward, at least he could bear it, so he asked, "What do you want?" ”
"One or two turbid wine," Wei Ran said, "You and I are clear, and you are not allowed to use this thing to blackmail me in the future!" ”
