Chapter 57: Failed
In the early morning, the birds are singing happily.
The army marching eastward has been assembled and continues to advance.
Out of Luoyang City, traveled dozens of miles, and came to Shaoshan Town.
The army stopped for a while in Shaoshan Town and buried the pot to make rice.
After lunch, the army continued to march.
When I came out of Shaoshan Town, my heart began to get nervous; Because, it is only a few dozen miles away from Songyang County, and a bowl of porridge may appear at any time.
I immediately turned my horse's head, came to Wang Long and the others, and said, "Brother Long, the first few times we we've been attacked by a bowl of porridge in this vicinity, and I guess it's very likely that a bowl of porridge sect will do something around here.
Wang Long: What Brother Jiang said is very true, what should we do now?
Me: In this way, Brother Long, Stupid Cow, Dog Baby, and Brother Jian, the four of you are on both sides of the dragon chariot to prevent accidents.
Wang Lung, Stupid Cow, Dog Baby: Yes.
Yang Jian still glanced at me with his standard murderous eyes, signaling to obey.
The four of them turned their horses' heads and went to the sides of the dragon, while I continued to open the way in front alone.
The army continued to march eastward along the official road.
I sat on my horse, bracing my spirits, watching the six directions, listening to all directions, paying close attention to all the movements around me.
From Shaoshan Town to the outside of Songyang County, no one from the bowl of porridge came out. One. Root. Read. Novel xstxt present.
I felt very puzzled in my heart, thinking: Could it be that a bowl of porridge church is in Songyang County?
I didn't think about it further, because the county magistrate of Songyang County led the big and small officials of Songyang County, the resident generals, and the yamen to catch quickly, and the rich gentry and celebrities were already waiting at the west gate of Songyang County, waiting for the saint.
This cadre and others saw that Tang Xuanzong's dragon chariot had come to the west gate, and they all knelt on the ground, and the Songyang County Commander said loudly: Xiaguan Songyang County Commander Guo Taiping, welcome the Holy Master.
Me: Lord Guo, excuse me, take us to the emperor's palace.
Guo Taiping: The officials obeyed the order.
Guo Taiping led the officials of Songyang County, the resident generals, the yamen to catch fast, the rich gentry and celebrities into Songyang County, and I followed the army into Songyang County.
When I came to the outside of the palace, I directly sent Guo Taiping and his party back.
Everything was arranged, so he quickly called Chen Xuanli over to discuss countermeasures.
Me: General Chen, according to what I know about the Bowl of Porridge Sect, the best time for them to do it should be the journey from Shaoshan Town to Songyang County. However, along the way, we didn't find any movement in the bowl of porridge, which was a bit unexpected to me!
Chen Xuanli: According to General Jiang's introduction, a bowl of porridge teaches the words of the North Fire Hall in Songyang County; Then, dozens of miles before and after the entire Songyang County is the best place for them to get started.
Me: What does General Chen mean is that the journey from Songyang County to Henan Province is also the best place to start a bowl of porridge?
Chen Xuanli: That's right, let's think about it from another perspective, if I were a person who taught a bowl of porridge, I would definitely think so, General Jiang has suffered several losses on the journey from Shaoshan Town to Songyang County, so General Jiang will definitely strengthen his vigilance during this journey; On the contrary, if this section of the road is passed, General Jiang will definitely think that the bowl of porridge will not appear again, so he will relax his vigilance, and in this way, he will find the best time to make a move.
Me: General Chen's analysis is very reasonable, so we must be more careful tonight.
Chen Xuanli: Yes, the Bowl of Porridge Sect is very likely to be started tonight.
Me: In this way, the six of us, divided into two teams, take turns to be on duty, what does General Chen think?
Chen Xuanli: Chen has no opinion.
Me: Okay, the task in the second half of the night is heavier, so I will hand it over to General Chen, Brother Long, and Brother Jian, and I will stay with Stupid Niu and Dog Baby in the middle of the night, is there any problem?
Chen Xuanli, Wang Long, Benniu, and Dog Baby said in unison: There is no problem.
Yang Jian still gave me the answer with his standard murderous eyes.
Me: That's it, General Chen, Brother Long, Brother Jian, you go back and rest first.
Chen Xuanli, Wang Long, and Yang Jian said goodbye to us, and then walked to their respective rooms.
Me: Stupid cow, dog baby, let's go to the emperor's bedroom gate to guard.
Stupid Cow and Dog Baby: Okay, big brother.
As soon as we came out of the room, we saw a soldier running up.
Soldier: General Qiyu, there's a guy named Sun Xiaobao outside.
As soon as I heard this, I felt a burst of excitement and thought: These three sects are really righteous and righteous enough, and they must be vigorously supported in the future.
Me: Let him in.
It didn't take long for Sun Xiaobao to walk in with Fang Min.
I laughed and said, "Brother Sun, I didn't treat you well in Chang'an City last time, Jiang is really sorry!"
Sun Xiaobao also said with a smile: General Jiang, it's too polite, it's better to work harder. When Sun learned that General Jiang had arrived in Songyang, he immediately rushed over, hoping to help General Jiang.
Me: Thank you so much Brother Sun, if all the friends on the rivers and lakes were as righteous as Brother Sun and Fang Nuxia, how could they make a bowl of porridge arrogant so far.
Sun Xiaobao: Thank you General Jiang for your praise, and the three sects just hope to contribute their part to maintaining justice in the rivers and lakes.
Me: If the three sects can have such a heart to help the world, they can really be worthy of a generation of famous schools, and they will definitely be passed on to future generations.
When Sun Xiaobao heard this, he really smiled like a flower, and said: Thank you General Jiang for your praise.
Me: Since Brother Sun came to help, Jiang will not be polite to you, so I will ask Brother Sun to go around the streets and alleys of Songyang County to see if there is anything abnormal? After all, Brother Sun is much more familiar with Songyang County than those of us.
Sun Xiaobao: No problem.
Me: Thank you, Brother Sun.
We say goodbye to Sun Xiaobao and Fang Minshi.
Sun Xiaobao and Fang Min walked out of the palace, and I took the stupid cow and the dog baby to the door of the emperor's bedroom and began to stand guard.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the second half of the night.
Chen Xuanli, Wang Long, and Yang Jian have already come over to change shifts with us.
Me: General Chen, the second half of the night is the key, you must be careful.
Chen Xuanli: General Jiang, don't worry, I'll leave it to us here.
I saluted Chen Xuanli, Wang Long, and Yang Jian with my fists, and then went back to the room with the stupid cow and the dog baby to rest.
I lay in bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep, and I always felt that something was wrong.
I got up, walked out of the room, looked up at the sky, saw the moon already hanging in the eastern sky, and thought to myself: it must have been two o'clock in the morning.
I walked towards the emperor's bedroom, and it happened that Sun Xiaobao and Fang Min also returned to the palace.
We came to the front of the emperor's bedchamber together.
Me: Brother Sun, has there been anything suspicious in Songyang County?
Sun Xiaobao: Everything is normal, there is nothing suspicious.
As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself: Has someone leaked the news, and the Bowl of Porridge Sect already knows that we are tempting them to be deceived; So, all of them stood still.
Me: General Chen, looking at this situation, the Bowl of Porridge Sect should not come, will someone within us leak the plan for this operation?
As soon as Chen Xuanli heard me say this, he also fell into deep thought.
Wang Long: Brother Jiang, it's too early to say that someone leaked the news. Because, General Chen also said before that the journey from Songyang County to Henan Mansion is also the best ambush location for a bowl of porridge.
As soon as I heard Wang Lung's words, I also felt that there was some truth.
Me: Brother Sun, go back and rest first, Brother Sun and the three sects will always remember this affection in Jiang's heart.
Sun Xiaobao: General Jiang, it's serious, if there is a place to get Sun, please be sure to let me know.
Me: Definitely, I don't send it.
Sun Xiaobao: Farewell.
We say goodbye to Sun Xiaobao and Fang Minshi.
After Sun Xiaobao and Fang Min walked out of the palace, I also said goodbye to Chen Xuanli, Wang Long, and Yang Jianshili, and then went back to the room to sleep.
At this point, my mind was in turmoil; However, I also felt sleepy and fell asleep in bed.
Early in the morning, the sound of birds is always the best alarm clock.
I rolled over and got out of bed, walked out of the room, watched the sun rise in the east, and breathed in the fresh air.
Last night, there was not even a shadow of a bowl of porridge, and my heart was both happy and afraid.
Happily, everyone spent the night safely;
What I'm afraid of is that sooner or later a big war will break out, and there will still be a lot of people who will have to leave this world.
The army had been assembled and continued its march eastward.
Coming out of Songyang County, he traveled dozens of miles all the way.
At noon, the army rested in place and buried the pot to cook.
I called Chen Xuanli over and said: General Chen, tomorrow is July 20th, and the emperor will start from Chang'an City.
Chen Xuanli thought for a moment and said: If after tonight, the bowl of porridge sect still does not act, then it is possible that the news has really leaked, and it must be returned to the emperor immediately, otherwise, something big will happen.
Me: What General Chen said is very true, in this way, if the bowl of porridge sect still does not show up tonight, I will first take my four brothers and hurry to Chang'an to inform the emperor of this.
Xuanli Chen: Yes.
After the army finished its lunch, it continued to march.
After traveling for dozens of miles, I was almost in Henan Mansion, but there was still no movement from the Bowl of Porridge Sect.
At this time, I was thinking in my heart: there must be a ghost in the court who leaked the news.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat all over my body.
I clenched my right hand into a fist and raised it high in the air, signaling the army to halt its advance.
I turned my horse's head and came to Chen Xuanli's army.
Me: General Chen, there must be a conspiracy in the imperial court, our plan must have been leaked, and this operation has failed.
Chen Xuanli: Judging from the current situation, there is a great possibility of a conspiracy.
Me: General Chen, even if this plan falls through, our diorama has been dismantled, and there is no need to continue the show. In this way, General Chen, you lead the army to rush back, but don't enter Songyang County, just stationed not far outside the city, I believe that the most likely place for a bowl of porridge to do it is still Songyang County. I took my four brothers and immediately rushed to Chang'an City.
Chen Xuanli: It's about to get dark, does General Jiang have to rush overnight?
Me: This matter is very urgent, and we must go back as soon as possible. However, the emperor will start tomorrow, so it is very likely that he will meet the emperor in Luoyang City.
Chen Xuanli: In addition, this spy is likely to be someone close to the emperor. Therefore, General Jiang must be more careful when he goes.
Me: Thank you General Chen for your concern, Jiang will definitely pay attention.
Chen Xuanli: General Jiang, take care all the way.
Me: General Chen, take care.
I said goodbye to Chen Xuanli Shili, and patted the horse to Wang Long, Benniu, Gouwa, and Yang Jian.
Me: Brothers, our operation has failed; Therefore, it is necessary to rush back to Chang'an immediately.
Wang Long, Stupid Cow, Dog Baby, Yang Jian: Yes.
I didn't expect Yang Jian to say something as well, instead of using his standard murderous eyes to convey the message.
Probably, he also felt the seriousness of the matter.
Five of us and five horses rushed towards Chang'an City.
I immediately wondered: Who could this spy be? Why help a bowl of porridge to teach? And so on and so forth.
However, there are no answers to these questions now, and everything can only be found when I return to the emperor's side, and maybe I can find the answers to all the questions.
