Chapter 233: Seeing Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
The thunderstorm in the summer has always been a baby in swaddling clothes, and it will turn its face when it is said that it will turn its face, and in addition to the camp tent of a large number of soldiers stationed in Funan, there are now many more peddlers and pawns in this area.
These people are the local people of Funan, because the soldiers are stationed here, so they set up a tent to sell some small things here.
Now that the battle between the two armies of Great Wei and Khitan is inextricably linked, the soldiers and horses under Great Wei are facing the 100,000 soldiers of Great Wei who are coming violently, and the situation is not very good.
The king of Funan stationed his soldiers and horses in the border between the two countries, not to do something, but to prevent trouble, if there is a real case, he can make a response.
In fact, King Funan knows better than anyone else that if even the strong soldiers and horses of the Khitan can't stop the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Great Wei, then the men and horses in his Funan's hands are nothing if they really come to the Great Wei.
These days, the Khitan king frequently sent the king of Funan a letter of alliance, in which he hoped that Funan could be in the middle of the war at this moment. Go out to help.
The biggest reason is four words, lips and teeth are cold......
If something happens to the Khitan, then Funan will not have the protection of the Khitan, and it will only be an overnight matter for the Great Wei to come directly to Funan......
Although the king of Funan always received letters, he never gave the Khitan king the slightest response, not for anything else, just because this expedition was originally found by the Khitan himself.
It's not that Dawei has to make trouble with them, it was the Khitan who provoked Dawei first from the beginning, and even united with the nobles in the Great Wei Palace to rebel.
If the king of Great Wei does not move and does not send troops to such a thing, then there is something strange in it, as if there is something wrong.
It is precisely because of the different causes that the current King of Funan has only mobilized troops to garrison at the border, and does not plan to send troops.
And the king of Funan himself has already walked out of the royal city and personally sat in the big tent, not for anything else, just because the Great Wei personally sent envoys to ask for alliances when the Khitan king continuously sent people to ask for an alliance......
Tang Yuanqing, as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he is proficient in the Khitan language of Funan, and it is because of his proficiency that he was assigned by the emperor to come to Funan this time, as a messenger and an envoy, to discuss transactions with the king of Funan.
The content of the transaction is very simple, as long as Funan does not send troops to help the Khitan, then the Khitan will be a subject country of Funan in the future, and Funan will be friendly with the Great Wei in the future, and they will be an alliance of three generations of brothers.
In the eyes of the Great Wei Emperor, the Khitan folk customs are very different from the Great Wei, and the geographical environment and the way of life of the people are also very different.
Besides, if the Great Wei really exterminated the Khitan, then the Khitan in the future will hate the Great Wei to the bone, rather than working hard to support those who hate themselves, it is better to give these people directly to Funan.
It should also be a heart......
This is a great gift from the emperor of Great Wei to the king of Funan, that is, they sent troops and men to take down this Khitan, and then gave it directly to Funan.
When the king of Funan received this letter, he personally went out of the capital and waited in the tent of this garrison early.
It was pouring rain outside, but it still didn't stop the number of wagons full of all kinds of feasting and food to the big tent.
It was also in this heavy rain that Lu Qingwei, who was dressed in Funan clothes and still had a blue and terrifying face, was now shrinking in the corner of a tea shed, hiding from the rain there.
Lu Qingwei, dressed as a beggar, was covered in mud and mud in such a place where mud and water stains were converging, and there was no difference between the people begging around him.
If there is a difference, the most significant difference is that Lu Qingwei's gaze wanders over these people from beginning to end, and he will care about everyone who looks different.
She was looking for Kong Zhen, looking for where Kong Zhen was nesting in the crowd and waiting to explore.
She waited in the camp for a whole month, and in the month she had survived by eating what she had picked up......
Live to the yellow muscles of the face, and you can see every green tendon that protrudes when you stretch out your hands!
But she didn't care!
Although he couldn't understand the Funan language, Lu Qingwei could judge the battle ahead from the number of times these garrisons left the camp every day, and their demeanor and tone.
In order to hide herself and not let herself show any of her feet, she allowed herself to live like an ant......
Today, this muddy path was full of people and the aroma of horse-drawn carriages and food mixed in the air, which made Lu Qingwei still wait even if the heavy rain was so heavy that she could wrap her body through the clothes.
She wanted to see who the king was waiting for......
Carriages passed by, with bursts of aroma of food in the carriages, Lu Qingwei clenched a scimitar hidden in his hand.
This knife was stolen by her, one for self-defense, and the other for ending Kong Zhen's life......
Although it has been so long, Lu Qingwei has not waited for Kong Zhen to appear, but she believes that Kong Zhen will appear sooner or later, and rumors will come out at the same time.
When the rain curtain began to gradually converge, Lu Qingwei's eyes saw the figures of the Great Wei Army Banner that were so familiar that they couldn't be familiar with it, she already had no waves in her eyes, this time she was full of excitement.
She......
It was also at the moment when she was excited, Lu Qingwei wanted to calm herself down again, she couldn't show any abnormality, in case she showed something abnormal, so that someone with a heart would see it, and she would waste all the hard times she had lived these days.
Because Lu Qingwei knew that as soon as the Great Wei delegation arrived, within two days, the fact that the five princesses of the Great Wei royal family were sold into the Funan military camp as soldiers (female branches) would spread throughout Funan, and then spread to the battlefield between the Khitan and the Great Wei.
If the foot is faster, it will even be directly transmitted to the capital or even the palace of the Great Wei......
The opportunity that Kong Zhen was waiting for finally appeared, and Lu Qingwei also knew that Kong Zhen, who he was waiting for, was finally about to appear.
She, a person who is happy to see her works, will definitely watch the envoys of the Great Wei look for a "fifth princess...... who is an inferior person in this military camp
She wants to watch the five princesses fall down, spurned by thousands of people, and scolded by everyone, if she can't see it, then everything she has prepared will be in vain......
This is the most proud masterpiece of her, the initiator!
If it weren't for the previous rain that gave Lu Qingwei a chance to escape, then Lu Qingwei might have really responded to Kong Zhen's ending and kept walking.
Maybe he is more powerful, and he has already died in the camp, and he is ravaged to death!
Lu Qingwei squeezed forward with the people watching the excitement, dragging the rice bowl in his hand, and stretched out his hand to ask for food together with these people who asked for food......
Many people are willing to gather around this barracks to ask for food, if nothing else, but the soldiers of the garrison are still willing to give them some food after looking at the pitiful people who ask for food.
It's much better than looking at people in the city......
If you meet a woman like Lu Qingwei, looking at her rickety appearance, you will be even more divided.
Lu Qingwei pretended to be dumb for a month, and after the bruises on his face were healed, he used herb juice to deliberately smear the upper half of his face with blue, begging here, and really being able to feed himself.
She pretended to be dumb and stretched out her hands, and she followed the carriage, and after the carriage stopped, there were two more white-flour buns in the broken bowl......
The white-faced buns that only Dawei had, although they were already hardened, when Lu Qingwei saw it, his eyes couldn't help but moisten......
For a while, my heart was so sour that I couldn't control it!
"Give them all the food in the carriage, especially the women, who are all poor people...... Poor people don't know where they are......"
When Lu Qingwei quickly put away the two white-flour buns in the broken bowl, the familiar sound on the carriage made Lu Qingwei's body stiffen, and at that moment, some students who couldn't walk stood in front of the car door, looking up at the open curtain.
Tang Yuanqing, who appeared in front of everyone in a colorful official mansion, was five points more elegant and calm at this moment, and the temperament around him was three points more cold than Lu Qingwei's impression before and after.
When he stepped out of the carriage, his face was cold, but when he looked at them beggars asking for food, there was more pity in his eyes......
In such a foreign place, Lu Qingwei said that he didn't expect to see Tang Yuanqing.
This man she has been avoiding since she was reborn and married Xiao Yi and is unwilling to see him once, but this will make Lu Qingwei feel very cordial when she looks at it.
In the past, he didn't want to see it, because when Lu Qingwei saw Tang Yuanqing once, he would think of the indifference when he begged Tang Yuanqing to save Heng from the fire field in the previous life......
And now......
Homesickness made Lu Qingwei even have an impulse after seeing Tang Yuanqing, calling him and asking him to take him back to Great Wei.
Can......
All the impulses made Lu Qingwei press down his reason at this moment, Lu Qingwei's reason overcame the surging blood in his heart, and then in the crowd and even in the corner to see if there was a person who was as excited as himself.
For any other person, Kong Zhen might have looked at it indifferently and indifferently, but now it is Tang Yuanqing......
Lu Qingwei dared to pat his chest and promise that Tang Yuanqing's appearance would make Kong Zhen lose his proportion!
Not for anything else, just for this Tang Yuanqing has been Kong Zhen's life from beginning to end.
No matter what happens to this fate, it is impossible to change it......
Looking at the figure of Tang Yuanqing entering the camp with several officials behind him, Lu Qingwei simply took a clean shirt in private.
When she ran into the fire, she found a stick of charcoal ash that had burned through it, and did not write a word on it.
Just one sentence "Kong Zhen is in Funan......"
After writing, she wrapped the corner of her clothes, and then shrunk it into a ball, waiting for the opportunity to find a chance to throw it to Tang Yuanqing after he left the camp one day.
If nothing else, she was afraid that Kong Zhen would go crazy, and she wouldn't let go even with Tang Yuanqing......
