Chapter 178: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Where is she? Can you know that you are thinking about her in your heart? so that when you see the innocence of others, you will be in a trance as if you have seen her!
The emperor shook his head gloomily, but the concubine who was looking back thought that the emperor's displeasure was because of her, so she quickly turned around in panic and leaned down to accuse: "The concubine is guilty!"
The emperor was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Say it yourself, what is the crime?"
"Concubine, concubine ......" Xi Concubine was speechless for a while, hesitated for a while, and then found a reason, "The concubine didn't know where to make the emperor unhappy, it was the concubine's sin......"
"Go back and draw the map of the sky, the map, and the people," the emperor waved his hand and closed his eyes tiredly, "Tomorrow morning, you will be a concubine." Go ahead. ”
"Yes, the concubine retired. Xi Concubine nodded, bowed in a proper manner, and turned to walk towards the temple gate. It wasn't until she stepped on the door of the palace that the concubine came back to her senses, turned around and ran back quickly, ran a few steps, and found that she could not lose her honor in front of the king, so she hurriedly raised her feet and landed lightly, walked back to the emperor's dragon case and knelt down awkwardly, and thanked her with a smile, "Thank you for the emperor's promotion!"
"Hmm! The emperor didn't lift his eyelids, only hummed lightly.
The light and lively footsteps of the concubine departed, and the hall slowly fell into silence. Like the windless and unmanned dusk, the cold and lonely twilight of the four fields.
In the copper leak of the Rui Beast of the Qilin Lingzhi, there was an occasional ticking sound, reminding the emperor that time passed in a hurry in his contemplation.
"Thoroughly investigate the grandmother of the Su Nu Temple. Finally, the emperor spoke slowly into the air, and on the eaves, in the invisible shadow in the beams, a neat answer suddenly sounded: "Yes." ”
"Whatever you want. The emperor's voice was still dark, and Gonggong Qin hurriedly pushed open the door of the palace, and went straight to the emperor's dragon case in a few steps, kneeling, and his movements were so fast: "The old slave is here!"
"Send a seal to General Yuan urgently, saying that the eldest daughter of his family has to be named a noble concubine," the emperor's slow voice did not carry a trace of emotion, and he heard the cold hair of Gonggong Qin stand on end, "Send a second letter every four hours, and tell General Yuan that the eldest daughter of his family has been demoted from a noble concubine to a low-class clan." ”
"Yes!" Gonggong Qin kowtowed, got up, and walked with flying footsteps, and actually walked out of the palace without making a sound of footsteps.
Gonggong Qin walked quickly with his head down, and as soon as he thought of the pretty face of the concubine with two small dimples in his mind, he felt a relative, no matter how young you are, no matter how innocent you are, as soon as you enter the palace, you are all warriors in armor and halberds. Between you and the concubines, life and death are still daily, and the thunder and anger of the emperor from heaven are even more irresistible. The grace of heaven is unpredictable, and the clouds and rain are only in an instant, General Yuan must understand the truth that there are eggs under the nest, and he will no longer dare to do whatever he wants for his own selfishness.
Your Majesty, you are making an example of killing chickens and monkeys! Gonggong Qin took this sentence in his mouth, smashed it, smashed it, and swallowed it into his stomach with saliva.
In southern Xinjiang, on the way back to the border gate, General Yuan received two urgent telegrams from the emperor in a row, and discussed the military situation with the third prince Xuanyuan Lie in detail that night.
When the morning dawn of the second day, the weary army of successive gallops stopped, rested on the side of a small river, and set up camp.
A few military cooks were tired and staggering, slowly fetched water from the small river island, carried buckets, and began to feed the horses.
Pick the weakest horse and let it start drinking. A few men stood by the horse, and when they had drunk enough water, they began to chew the hay slowly. Only then did they make sure that there was no poison in the water, and they immediately got up, fetched water, lit fire, and began to cook for the army.
In the continuous green trees on the edge of the river, a few shadows sneakily jumped by, like a few agile and alert birds, swept by, straight to the upper reaches of the water.
Climbing on the branches of the trees near the water, a few natives dressed in animal skins raised a large cloud of white smoke with their hands, and fell slowly into the water with the wind. The white mist melted and flowed down the river, spreading to the place where the army had camped not far downstream.
In the smoke and fire, the military kitchen had already prepared the meal, and in order not to use it at will and cause it to be poisoned, so the meals of the soldiers were divided and brought into the camp tents one by one for the soldiers to enjoy.
Estimating the time, the soldiers had finished eating, and several military cooks went to collect the evening food boxes as always, muttering and complaining as they walked: "We are tired of being a thief to death, and we have to wait for the washing to finish before we have to eat, this rule is too unfair!"
"Not really!" the other military cook chimed in, "We're also soldiers, why are we inferior?!"
"Ah~" The military chef who walked in front had already opened the curtain of the tent door and let out a high-pitched and sharp shout, "Save people! The generals have arrived!"
"Ah~"
"Doctor! Doctor, come soon, save people! They are all down!"
In the barracks tent that stretched out over a long stretch of green land on the river, a few panicked screams reached into the sky, but only a few voices responded: "Coming, coming......"
In the green trees on the edge of the river, a pair of sturdy and stout natives slowly walked out, and their animal skins were all traces of dust, and it could be seen that it was not easy for them to follow the army all the way.
At this moment, their faces covered in animal blood and sludge showed a grinning smile of excitement, and they looked as happy as if the beasts had found food.
Cautiously, step by step, they approached the camp, assuming a posture of being ready to slip away with oil on the soles of their feet at any time.
Approaching the first tent, a native opened the curtain of the tent with the tip of a long wooden spear, and at a glance saw the soldiers staggering, and shouted happily.
When they were holding hands and happily shouting together, they didn't realize that they had been blocked by the soldiers who had quietly gotten up.
The third prince, Xuanyuan, suddenly came out of the door curtain of the lord's tent, and strode towards the natives, all of whom were unexpectedly stunned, and immediately squeaked and jumped with their heads hugged.
Stopped by the ambush soldiers who were blocking in all directions, all the natives jumped like thunder, like furious beasts, recklessly wielding wooden spears and bamboo swords without any rules, and were captured by the soldiers of iron swords and bronze spears in a short time.
General Yuan went up in person, squatted down and communicated with the natives who were tied up with five flowers.
The third prince, Xuanyuan Lie, raised his eyebrows, this General Yuan can actually speak the language of the natives?! Could these natives be deliberately recruited by General Yuan, to give himself a newcomer, the new supreme ruler of southern Xinjiang, a dismount and take a look?!
