Chapter 158: Fishing in Troubled Waters

Lou annoyed Wang Ting, who was slaughtering cattle and sheep at this time, preparing for a bonfire party. Chinese Net

The grassland Hu people are not like the Central Plains people, who wear fancy clothes and live in a mansion, so the wedding is not so particular, even if it is a big happy event such as the king of Lou Fu marrying Princess Daqin, it is just to gather the clansmen, light a long bonfire, and then the men and women dance around the bonfire, and then sing and sing, the wedding is completed.

However, King Lou Fu changed into the clothes of the Central Plains on the advice that his uncle said.

This will, put on the Central Plains costume Lou Fu Wang in the ten Lou Fu generals swarmed, people like dogs out of the dome of the big tent, just heard the noise outside the tent, Lou Fu Wang also thought that the people and horses to welcome the relatives came back, calculate the time, go to Jiuyuan to welcome the people and horses should almost come back.

But when the king of Lou Fu came out of the account, it was not the case at all.

The people and horses who went to greet their relatives disappeared, and only Fan Baizhuo escaped back!

"What's going on?" King Lou Fu frowned, and asked loudly, "What about the princess?" ”

"King, we have fallen for the old Qin people!" A Louzhou general who went to greet his relatives turned over and dismounted, knelt down at the feet of King Loufu, and said miserably, "On the way back to the royal court, we were ambushed by the old Qin people, and nearly half of the thousands of people and horses were lost, and Her Royal Highness the princess was also snatched back by the old Qin people." ”

"What do you say?" Lou Fu Wang Bo changed his face, "The princess was snatched back by the old Qin people?" ”

The uncle said that he changed his color slightly: "King, this matter is a little strange, I thought it should not be the old Qin people's doing." ”

"Military advisor, it's the old Qin people, that's right!" The annoying leader of the building said loudly, "They are all covered in scale armor, and they still hold Qin crossbows in their hands, which is the kind of Qin crossbow that can shoot a hundred steps away and a horse within fifty steps!" I see it so really, it's definitely the old Qin people, who else can wear scale armor and hold a Qin crossbow in addition to the entire Hetao of the old Qin people?! ”

"Qin crossbow?!" King Lou Fu said viciously, "That should be the old Qin people, there is no doubt." ”

Uncle said that it was also silent, Qin crossbow is a battlefield weapon, the old Qin people are strictly controlled outflow, and the other party has a Qin crossbow, it seems that it is really an old Qin person.

"These untrustworthy old Qin people, this king must slaughter them all!" King Lou Fu immediately returned to the big tent, and copied out the golden arrows from the branches, handed them to all his cronies and attendants, and said, "Take the golden arrows of this king and immediately gather the horse teams of all tribes, and then quickly notify the king of Aries and the king of Linhu, and ask them to join forces to attack Jiuyuan!" ”

In the unknown depths of the desert, a bonfire was also lit.

Five hundred Chu army soldiers were drinking the water and wine in the sheepskin bag around the ten piles of bonfires, and gnawing on the fat leg of lamb that was roasted and polished, but Princess Yingzhen, who was sitting by the fire, had no appetite, until this moment, she didn't know what was going on? I don't know who these people are?

"Sister Princess, can you eat some too?" Baili Yishui didn't know when he sat next to Ying Zhen, and he still held a piece of golden roasted lamb leg meat on the short knife in his hand.

"Little sister, do you know these people?" Ying Zhen asked in a low voice.

As early as when she was just kidnapped by this group, Ying Zhen found that Baili Yishui didn't seem to be worried at all, and now this group of people is even more unsuspecting of Baili Yishui, and she doesn't say anything about moving around with her, so that she is allowed to carry a knife on her body, Ying Zhen Bingxue is smart, and she guessed that Baili Yishui and this group must know each other.

Baili Yishui didn't answer, but just begged Ying Zhen and said, "Sister Princess, can you eat some?" ”

From noon to the time when she was kidnapped by the Chu army until now, Ying Zhen has not touched a drop of water, and she has not eaten a little, Baili Yishui is really worried that Ying Zhen will be hungry and sick, because Ying Zhen is not like she is a person who practices martial arts, and her body is very weak.

"If you don't say that your sister won't eat, you'll starve to death." Ying Zhen stubbornly turned away from the mantis.

When Baili Yishui was in a dilemma, a majestic figure suddenly strode in front of the two.

Baili Yishui straightened up and was about to salute the man, but was stopped by the man as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Don't eat? Hunger strike? Want to die? The man's sharp eyes stared straight at Ying Zhen, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from the boot and threw it in front of Ying Zhen, and said coldly, "You don't need to go on a hunger strike, pick up this knife, wipe it on your neck casually, and everything will be over, your life, and your fate."

Ying Zhen didn't pick up the dagger, but just looked up at the man steadily.

Perhaps because of looking up, the man looked extremely tall, like a majestic mountain, and he just stood there casually, but Yingzhen clearly felt a strong momentum, a momentum that looked down on the world, and when she was still young, she felt this momentum from her father more than once.

This man actually has the same powerful momentum as his father, who is he?

The man suddenly grinned, but the corners of his mouth clearly revealed Sen Leng's killing intent, and said indifferently: "If you want to die, just use that short knife to commit suicide, if you don't want to die, then hurry up and eat something to feed your stomach, and then on this journey, no one will help you go, you can't ride a horse, then stay in the desert and feed the wild wolves." ”

Say it. The man turned around and blamed, but Yingzhen lost his mind for a moment

Baili Yishui handed the roasted leg of lamb to Ying Zhen again, and said softly: "Sister Princess, will you eat?" ”

Ying Zhen silently took the leg of mutton, quietly took a small bite, and then asked, "Little sister, who is this person?" ”

Baili Yishui said with some embarrassment: "Sister Princess, the eldest brother won't let me tell you, but at most, you will know all the truth." After saying this, Baili Yishui said happily again, "And no matter what, Sister Princess, you don't have to marry that noisy and dirty Lou Fu King again, do you?" ”

Ying Zhen sighed faintly, she knew that she couldn't ask anything more

Jiuyuan, the night is thick.

On the head of the city, every ten steps are obliquely inserted a pine torch, although the faint fire light is not enough to illuminate the outside of the city, but it is enough to illuminate the whole city, in the flickering firelight, two sentries are keeping vigil, in the distance, a team of seven patrol guards are lining up in a neat queue, walking neatly to this side.

Although the Hu people had retreated to relieve the siege, the old Qin people did not have the slightest carelessness.

A sentry walked to the battlement, lifted his robe and was releasing water outside the city, the corner of his eye vaguely seemed to see a little fire, turned his head sharply to look at it, and sure enough, he saw a little fire under the northern night sky, the sentry still couldn't believe it, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but the little fire seemed to be brighter and brighter.

After less than a moment, the light of the fire turned into two points, and then four o'clock, and when the other sentry and the patrol who passed by the city were all attracted, a large area of fire had appeared under the night sky in the north, and in the flickering firelight, the neighing of horses could be heard vaguely, Hu people, Hu people!

"Hu people, damn it, it's Hu people!" Inspector Shi Changdeng gasped, and then hissed and howled, "Hu people attack the city, blow the trumpet, quickly blow the trumpet to warn ......"

In an instant, the sound of a short horn rushed into the sky

When the horn sounded, Meng Yan had not yet slept, still reading in the study.

When Meng Cheng took his own soldiers to the enemy tower in the north city, countless Hu cavalry had already rushed to the outside of Jiuyuan City with torches, and by the light of the fire as bright as day, Meng Yan found that the Hu people outside the city were actually annoying!

"The building is annoying?!" Meng Yan couldn't help frowning.

Is this what Lou Fu Wang is going to do? The princess had just married him, and on this wedding night, he didn't stay in the royal court to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess, but why did he come to Jiuyuan? Also, come on, why do you still bring so many Hu Qi? Looking at the situation outside the city, most of the King of Lou Fu brought all the 30,000 strong men of the Lou Fu tribe, right?

Could it be that the King of Lou Fu wants to take advantage of this time to sneak attack Jiuyuan?

The idea is good, but it's a pity that the old Qin people would never make such a mistake.

At that moment, Meng Yan shouted: "Pass my general order, the whole city will be under martial law, and all gates will be strengthened to prevent Hu people and spies from sneaking up on the city gates!" ”

Previously, due to Princess Yingzhen's family affairs, many Hu people took the opportunity to rush into Jiuyuan City, and now the old Qin people can't care about searching for these Hu people for the time being, so they can only first impose martial law and then strengthen the garrison of each city gate

In the post house, Baili Xian and You Yuan are listening to the movement on the street outside the window.

It wasn't long ago that the two of them were awakened by the sound of a trumpet.

Soon, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the street outside, and then a loud voice sounded: "General Meng has an order, from now on the whole city will be under martial law, everyone will stay in the house obediently, no one is allowed to go to the street without authorization, listen, no one is allowed to go to the street, violators of the order will ......, and they will not be killed!" ”

You Yuan, who was about to go out to inspect, sat back on the table and frowned: "It's so decent, why is it under martial law?" ”

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and said lightly: "Most of the time the general has already won it, and the king of Lou Fu is angry, and he has taken the army of Lou Fu to attack Jiuyuan, hehe." ”

You Yuan said: "You mean, the general has already succeeded?" ”

"Ten likely, that's true." Baili Xian smiled lightly, "Lou Fuwang's good deeds are empty, but Meng Yan is difficult to argue, this melee between the old Qin people and Lou Furen is afraid that it is difficult to avoid, and the melee together, the Aries people and the Lin Hu people will definitely be involved, in this way, even if the water in the Jiuyuan pool is completely muddy, the next thing is to see how the general fishes in troubled waters." ”

You Yuan grinned and said with a wicked smile: "Brother Baili, you have already stirred up the water in the pool of Jiuyuan so much, how can the general touch all the big fish, it is best to integrate the Lou Annoying, Aries people, and Lin Hu people in the Hetao, so that with the old Qin people in Jiuyuan City, you can almost gain a foothold in the Hetao, right?" ”

"Lilu Hetao?" Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and said, "No, Hetao is a dead land, not enough to take, and the general will eventually kill back to Jiangdong." ”
