Chapter 480: Heading North

54_54326 said that the reason why Xiao Yao was willing to go was not only to really serve the prince, but to find a way to steal or destroy the batch of red-clothed cannons, so as to give this Miao Jiang enough time to prepare. (800)

At that moment, when he heard the prince's words, he also pretended to be a soldier who died as a confidant, and said loudly: "The subordinates must be expected by His Royal Highness, and the red-clothed cannon will return safely!" ”

The crown prince shook his head and said, "Now that General Liu is not an outsider, I am not afraid to tell you the truth." In fact, the red-clothed cannon was just a disguise, although there were indeed a few of them transported by that waterway, but it was just a plan for Tai Lieutenant's Ming Xiu plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang. The captain just wants to use the red-coated cannon to hang out my opponent's shot! Therefore, General Liu is going here to completely annihilate the Fuso Ninja Brigade! Especially those two shinobi, it's better to keep them for me! ”

Xiao Yao heard this, but his heart was shocked. It turned out that the real target of this southern expedition was not all the four major Tusi of Miao Jiang, as well as the opponent of the prince's throne. No wonder Taiwei's intentions are sudden, it turns out that he is trying to lure the snake out of the hole! But he didn't know who the prince's opponent was, so he not only colluded with the Fuso ninja not to say anything, but also made a fatal move.

first colluded with Ling Tianxing of the East China Sea camp and asked him to interfere with the prince's sight. Then he ambushed Iga Ryunabu and killed the captain. In the end, two more ninjas and the ninja brigade were dispatched, just for the red-clothed cannon. It's just that the prince seems to be loyal and benevolent, but he is also ruthless. Pretending not to know first, the Taiwei took the idea, and let the opponent focus his eyes on the Taiwei.

Then he sacrificed the bait of the red-clothed cannon, and the opponent really took the bait, and let the ninja of Iga-ryu pour out. It seems that the prince must know who the opponent is, and he has planted a secret seed around him, just to cut off the opponent's arm at this critical moment. It seems that this battle for the throne is really bloody. Originally, I thought that this time it was really just because the imperial court wanted to change the land and return to the stream, so it mobilized a large army and came to invade southern Xinjiang. But I didn't want to be involved in the battle for the throne later.

It's just that after thinking about it carefully, there seem to be a lot of people who are qualified to inherit the throne, why don't the Fusang in the East China Sea fight, the nomadic barbarians in Mobei don't fight, and they prefer to fight Miaojiang? There are poisonous miasma everywhere, the mountain roads are rugged, and the people are fierce, and the witch Gu is extremely weird. The stones, which belonged entirely to a thatched pit, were smelly and hard.

Now that I think about it, Xu is one of the kings of the Central Plains standing behind this Miao Jiang, so he attracted the blow of the prince, right? I thought about the princes of the Son of Heaven at the moment, but I found that I couldn't think of too many clues. Just don't think about it for a while, this time I went to Tianzhen to exterminate the Iga-ryu ninjas, and I would definitely come into contact with one of these kings, and it was estimated that it would be clear at that time.

It's just that today's princes under the prince are not idle people, they are all recruiting customers, among which there are countless strange people, but they have to be careful. [800] Moreover, as the prince, although it is inconvenient to directly recruit capable people, it does not prevent him from operating in private! So this time, it's likely that it's just the prince who lets him go, and by the way, clean up the ninjas of Iga-ryu, and be the one who joins the prince's forces!

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel slightly funny. When he had just come to this other world, he was recruited by King Qin by chance. Now he came to the southern expedition army under a pseudonym, and was recruited by the prince. It's just that King Qin recruited himself because of his talent, and the prince took a fancy to him because of his martial arts. smiled bitterly at the moment, don't think about this, and find a way to resolve the war between the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang is true.

It's just that the previous thinking may have been deviated, and what we really need to do is to find out the real reasons behind this war and try to resolve it. In my previous life, I heard that war was a continuation of politics, but today I finally understood it!

Although Xiao Yao's heart was in the center of his mind and he thought about it a lot, but in fact, at that moment, Xiao Yao gave up the order and said: "The subordinates must bring back the heads of those two Shangnin for the prince to repay the prince's great kindness!" ”

After hearing this, the prince finally nodded and said: "Dewey, you are in this big camp, so you can find out where the Zhongren is now, and after the investigation, don't startle the snake, report to Lonely!" ”

Dewey gave his hand and said, "Your Majesty has an order!" ”

At that moment, the prince sat back and said, "Then you can go down and prepare!" Lone hopes that before the red-clothed cannon arrives here, good news will reach Lone's ears! This gave Xiao Yao and the others a deadline to complete the task. Now that four days have passed, the red-clothed cannon will only arrive in six days, and the Nine Palace Spirit Gu Array will only need six days to officially activate. There are only six days, Xiao Yao has to go back and forth between Miaojiang and Hubei from this Miaojiang to kill the Shangnin of Igaliu. Dewey, on the other hand, had to find out the middle ninja of the Iga-ryu.

At that moment, the two were ordered to withdraw from the prince's tent. When I got out of the account, I only heard Dewey say: "Brother Xiao, this is a long way to Hubei, no less than thousands of miles." As a brother, I only hope that you will be done as soon as possible and return from completing the task! Remember to go this time, don't know what you shouldn't know, don't know what you should know, don't know what you should know, do you know? ”

But it was this Dewey who was mentioning Xiao Yao, afraid that he would know too much and get too involved in it, and commit the taboo of His Royal Highness the Prince. At the moment, I only heard Xiao Yao say: "Brother Du, I can save these little things!" When I go to Hubei, I just kill the Fusang ninja who invaded my country's border, and I don't know anything else, I don't know anything! ”

When Dewey heard this, he also smiled, nodded, patted Xiao Yao's shoulder, and said, "Then you go and prepare, and set off for Wuchang as soon as possible!" This is not less than a thousand miles away from Wuchang. There are many mountains along the way, but you have to go back and forth in six days, but it is also hard! After saying that, he said no more, but turned around and went back to his big tent.

Xiao Yao was infinitely moved in his heart when he heard it, but this Dewey Du brother was really thinking about himself, and he said to Dewey's back at the moment. He went straight back to his tent, packed his luggage, changed into his military uniform, and headed straight north.

Along the way, Xiao Yao did continue to go to various post stations, show his Ouchi guard waist card, and change the galloping horse, just like that, it took this day to finally rush to Tongcheng. In this way, in less than half a day, you can rush to Wuchang Mansion. I relaxed immediately, found a restaurant in Tongcheng, and sat down to rest for a while.

"Hey, Brother Xiao, why are you here?" Xiao Yao thought it was calling himself, but he followed the sound and looked, but it turned out that a person came in at the door of the store and saw his friend. At the moment, he stopped looking, drinking his own wine and eating his own food, but his ears unconsciously listened to what they were saying.

"It turned out to be Brother Leng of the Desert Crazy Knife!" But the man surnamed Xiao heard someone calling him, so he looked up and happened to see the tall and thin man who entered the store.

The desert mad knife walked straight to the table of the man surnamed Xiao, put the Mobei scimitar in his hand on the edge of the stool, and said, "Brother Xiao is also here to participate in the meeting of Wushan Lake?" ”

The man surnamed Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, this meeting of Wushan Lake, it is said that the Bixiao Sword God who has lived in seclusion for many years and his old man have come to participate!" I'm also going to join in the fun! ”

The Desert Crazy Knife said to himself: "Then the color of this Wushan Lake meeting is real......

"Silence!" The man surnamed Xiao suddenly interrupted the words of the desert mad knife, and said: "The meeting of Wushan Lake was convened by that one, and the people who participated in the meeting will not spread it at will, otherwise that one will know, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to die!" ”

The desert mad knife nodded, stopped talking for a while, and ate and drank with the man surnamed Xiao. The two talked some gossip again, and Xiao Yao immediately withdrew his hearing and said secretly: "The meeting of Wushan Lake? Bixiao Sword God has come out? But I don't know who organized it, even this old man came out to join in the fun! ”

At the moment, he also shook his head secretly, he followed the Donggong Guards to the port of Tianzhen to ambush the ninja brigade, and he really didn't have time to participate in this mysterious conference. So I ate and drank a little casually, filled my stomach, and rested quietly for a while. So he settled the account, took up his horse, and went out of the city.

When he got to the outside of the city, he saw that the desert mad knife and the man surnamed Xiao who had just spoken were also by his side, and he saw that they were invited together and went to the northeast. Could it be that this Wushan Lake is actually in the same direction as the Tianzhen he is going to? didn't think much about it at the moment, but turned straight on. Go to Wuchang Mansion, just north of Tongcheng.

There was nothing to say all the way, but for half a day, after staying in the west at dusk, Xiao Yao finally rushed to the boundary of Wuchang Mansion. Caught up with the last general into town. The guards at the city gate saw him riding a high-headed horse and a gold-edged silk robe, but he rushed into the city so late, and he was not allowed to go, but Xiao Yao showed the waist card of the inner guard, and they had to smile all over their faces. Xiao Yao didn't want to waste time talking to these city gate captains who wanted to ask for money, so he didn't say anything, and walked straight inside.

When you get closer to the city, you can find a store called Yuelai Inn. Go straight inside. When the little second saw that a guest came to the door, he immediately shouted and said, "There is a guest!" Guest, are you sharp? Or a hotel? ”

Xiao Yao threw the reins of the horse to Xiao Er and said, "Is the shopkeeper Dong here?" ”

Xiao Er's face was full of doubts when he heard this, and he said: "The guest officer is looking for our Dong shopkeeper to have something, but unfortunately, he asked for leave to go back to his hometown to visit relatives early this morning!" ”

The shopkeeper Dong is Dong Fang, the elder brother of Dong Ping, who led the East Palace Guards. Because of this person's good management, the prince sent this person to Wuchang Mansion to preside over this Yuelai inn for the purpose of inquiring about news and collecting intelligence. The prince ordered himself to come to Wuchang Mansion, so he went straight to Dong Fang, and Dong Fang would introduce Xiao Yao to Dong Ping. Then after Dong Ping, they went south together and went to Tianzhen to intercept and kill the ninja brigade.

But now he heard that Dong Fang was inexplicably absent, and he was stunned for a while, and said: "Do you know that your shopkeeper Dong has a younger brother surnamed Dong Mingping?" ”

The little second stared wide-eyed and said, "Huh? My shopkeeper and brother? How do I not know? ”

After listening to Xiao Er's words, he also knows that this Xiao Er doesn't know much! Now that the leader arranged by the prince for himself is inexplicably gone, where should he go? didn't have time to think about it at the moment, and said to Xiao Er: "Did the shopkeeper Dong say when he would return?" ”

Xiao Er shook his head again and said, "Usually the shopkeeper leaves, and it will only take three or five days." Now he has been gone for nearly seven days, and he has not returned! ”

Didn't come back in seven days? Usually he has only been away for three or five days, and it seems that this Dong Fang is either entangled in a major event, or something has happened. I didn't have time to say more at the moment, and said, "Then bring me a room, and I'll leave tomorrow morning!" Xiao Er replied yes, and went straight to call someone to lead Xiao Yao's horse to the stable. He led Xiao Yao, but walked upstairs.

I washed the fatigue in the room for more than a day, but I thought to myself, "The person who arranged the joint is gone." But I shouldn't have killed those Fuso ninjas. Even if they go to intercept and kill, how do they know where they are going to do it? "Think about it for a moment, but don't get the point. I didn't think about it anymore, and I was going to rest for the night first, and then I would talk about it tomorrow.

Originally, I was going to let Xiao'er come to the room with food to eat, but I suddenly thought that I was lacking information now, and it happened that the hall and canteen were full of people, and this Wuchang Mansion was a thoroughfare between the north and the south, and the three sects and nine streams would pass through here. I immediately came to the bottom, ordered a few plates of side dishes, and drank slowly with a pot of wine. But his ears were bent up, listening to the information that might be stored in this hall
