Chapter Twenty-Six: The Triumphant Return
"If it's gossip, there's no need to talk about it."
Song Moting shook his sleeves and turned around to leave.
"Don't you want to know what the bugs are that attack your army?"
Rong Jiu saw that Song Moting was leaving, so he was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted.
Sure enough, as soon as Song Moting heard this, he immediately stopped.
"I know what you're worried about, I know what the bugs you recruited from the Ming army when you fought against the Ming army. The bug is called the bee tail fly, which is a kind of flying insect unique to the south, which is refined by Gu masters with bloodthirsty flies and poisonous bees, so it has the characteristics of two things, bloodthirsty and meaty and highly poisonous tail. ”
Without waiting for Song Moting to ask, Rong Jiu told the origin and characteristics of the beetail fly.
"How do you know?"
Song Moting was a little surprised, how could Rong Jiu know this.
Uh... We have a lot of books in Xining, and when I am bored, I like to read some idle books, and I accidentally saw an introduction to the flytail bee, because I think it is special, so I remember it very clearly. ”
Rong Jiu wiped the sweat from her forehead, she could only make it up, she couldn't say that this was what she saw in the modern library!
"Are you sure that bug is a flytail?"
Song Moting was still a little skeptical, after all, Rong Jiu hadn't really seen the appearance of the flying insect.
"I know what you're worried about, it's true that I haven't seen that bug, but I've heard the Third Lord say about the characteristics of the flying insect that attacked your army, so I dare to be sure that the flying insect is a fly-tailed bee, and besides, there are indeed many Gu masters on the Mingyue Country's side, so they can't be right or wrong!"
Rong Jiu said everything in order, and his tone was also very affirmative, at this moment, all the doubts in Song Moting's heart were dispelled, and he hurriedly asked Rong Jiu how to solve it.
"And do you know how to deal with them?"
Rong Jiu lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying.
"Since the fly-tailed bee is a combination of a bloodthirsty fly and a poisonous bee, it must have the characteristics of a poisonous bee, so most of the people in the Mingyue Kingdom are using the queen bee to control them, which is why the fly-tailed bee only attacks your people and not them."
"So as long as you find the person behind the control of the queen bee and kill it, the flytail bee will be leaderless."
"That's right, the prince is so smart!"
Rong Jiu praised with a smile.
"But there are so many people on the battlefield, how do you find the person who controls the queen bee?" Song Moting's brows furrowed.
"This is simple, like the fly-tailed bee, a high-level Gu worm that relies on the combination of two creatures, can only be fed by the flesh and blood of the controller, that is to say, the queen bee is housed in the body of the controller, and the person who fosters such a yin and evil thing in the body must have a blue and black complexion, bloodless lips, and even dull eyes, as long as you find someone with these characteristics on the battlefield, just shoot it directly."
When Song Moting heard this, he only felt suddenly enlightened, and his frowning brows were soothed.
Looking at Rong Jiu with a smile on his face in front of him, Song Moting had a little more admiration, he didn't expect that everyone was helpless flying insects, but Rong Jiu could say countermeasures so easily, and now he was a little impressed by Rong Jiu.
"Thank you, this king will tell my father to go!" Song Moting said that when he grew so big, it was the first time for him to thank someone so sincerely.
"Let's go. But can I ask you one thing? Rong Jiu asked anxiously.
"What's the matter?"
"That's it...... Don't tell anyone that I told you this, is that okay? ”
Xining has no book records that Rong Jiu of the flytail bee doesn't know, besides, Amu said that the real Rong Jiu hated reading books the most before, if this matter spreads, she will have to find a way to lie again, and it will be troublesome to think about it.
This request Song Moting was a little unexpected, if these were true, then Rong Jiu would be a great achievement, she could obviously accept the appreciation and affirmation of so many people, but she didn't want to abandon it.
Song Moting found that it was the first time he couldn't see through a person so much.
"Why?" Song Moting asked.
"Uh...... I have my own reasons, anyway, please do me a favor! ”
Song Moting looked at Rong Jiu vaguely and with a frightened look, and felt a little cute in his heart, and the corners of his mouth did not directly rise slightly.
"Okay."
Rong Jiu raised his head in surprise, he didn't expect Song Moting to agree so easily.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you," Rong Jiuyi patted her head, she almost forgot to tell Song Moting the method of self-preservation, "After shooting the people who foster bees, the bee colony will definitely be in chaos, and they will bite when they see people, and the bees are most afraid of fire, at this time, as long as you light the torches, the bee swarm will only attack the people of the Mingyue Kingdom!" ”
"Well, this king remembers." Song Moting nodded.
"Then you go and tell the emperor, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should be happy, I see that each of them is frowning, and there is no festive atmosphere at all." Rong Jiu said with a smile.
"Hmm. But before that, the king will send you to your brother. Song Moting said.
Rong Jiu was a little happy when he heard this, he was really still worried about me, hahaha, Rong Jiu, you are out of breath!
After Song Moting told the matter at the banquet, Song Mian swept away his sorrows, immediately smiled, and hurriedly asked someone to bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter on the spot to send someone to the border overnight.
Everyone in the audience also frowned.
Outside the temple, fireworks were lit and burst into the night sky.
Rong Jiu looked at Song Moting secretly through the crowd, but found that he was looking at him, and his heart was full of joy, but she didn't know that Song Moci was also looking at her on the other side, and when she saw the two looking at each other, the corners of her mouth were full of bitterness.
Jinggu Pass.
Song Mochen had already ordered the soldiers to hide in the city for three days, and in the past three days, the Ming army continued to shout outside the city, and it was extremely arrogant.
Although Song Mochen was angry, there was no way, he couldn't watch the soldiers go to death.
Just when he was worried, Qiao Muqing hurriedly walked in.
"Mo Chen, the emperor has sent a letter! Said to have found a solution! ”
As soon as he arrived at the door, Qiao Muqing couldn't help shouting.
"Really?"
When Song Mo heard this, he hurriedly greeted him.
"The messenger said that the methods were all in this letter." Qiao Muqing said, raising the letter in his hand.
"Open it and take a look!"
The two of them opened the letter and read it twice, becoming more and more excited.
"Great! Now there is no need to hide anymore, the eldest brother is still powerful, Mu Qing, I didn't expect that the two of me would be alone for the first time, but in the end, I still have to rely on the eldest brother. ”
"That's why we have to work harder and strive to fight the battle well!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and were about to explain the method to the soldiers, when the Ming army came outside the city to shout again.
"Hmph, this time, let them have no return!" Song Mochen's eyes were cold. "Mu Qing, your archery skills are accurate, I'll delay as much as possible later, and you hide behind to find the person who fosters the queen bee."
"Don't worry, I'll leave it to me!"
Qiao Muqing nodded and said.
Qiao Muqing's archery skills claim to be the second in the army, and no one dares to call him the first, so Song Mochen trusts him very much.
After Song Mochen finished explaining, he walked up to the city gate, while Qiao Muqing and the other soldiers were looking for someone to keep the queen bee in the enemy army, and at this time, the arrogance of the Ming army under the city was obviously even more arrogant than before.
When Changyu Yuxu saw Song Mo come out, he didn't forget to open his mouth and sneered: "Yo? Shouldn't you shrink your head turtle today? ”
"Yu Xu, the son of the world, is it worth your pride to win the victory by means of the next three indiscriminately?" Song Mochen snorted coldly.
"Hahaha, the next three indiscriminate? As long as you can win, no matter what you do, you are a bad breed, you don't judge us, you have the ability to come down and fight, or are you like a turtle with a shrunken head, you are very proud? ”
Changyu Yuxu laughed loudly as he spoke.
Song Mochen's clenched fists trembled slightly, and Song Mochen's words made Song Mochen frown in disgust, and his heart was now full of fire.
At this moment, Qiao Muqing had already locked on the enemy's foster bee queen, walked to Song Mochen's side, and nodded.
"Whoever will have the last laugh will know later."
After Song Mo finished speaking, he signaled to open the city gate, and as soon as the city gate opened, the Youjun army poured out like a fish entering the river.
Changyu Yuxu and the Ming army shouted and scolded every day, who expected them to come out without warning today, and there was chaos for a while, until the Youjun rushed in front of him, and he woke up like a dream.
At this time, they were already in chaos, and they were still the opponents of the Youjun army.
Changyu Yuxu was surrounded and beaten, and seeing that his subordinates had no power to fight back, he hurriedly asked the two people who fostered the queen bee to hold a fly-tailed bee.
"Summoning the flytail bees! Fast! ”
When the two heard this, they hurriedly summoned the fly-tailed bee with trickery, and not long after, there was another earth-shaking buzzing sound in the sky.
Immediately afterward, the flytail bee returned to them like a black cloud.
At this moment, Qiao Muqing used a bow and crossbow on the city wall to cleanly shoot the two foster bee queens.
Seeing the situation, Song Mo knew the situation, and while flying towards Changyu Yuxu, he ordered the soldiers to light the torches.
"Everyone lights the torches, everyone is back to back!"
The beetail bee lost control, suddenly turned red-eyed, and bit when it saw someone.
The unsuspecting Ming army was gnawed and screamed by the cruel cocktail flies, and the beetail flies, which were aroused by the torches, attacked even the uninjured Ming troops, and the scene was extremely bloody.
This battle was won by the Youjun beautifully, the Ming army personally experienced the taste of being eaten by beetail flies, although in the end it was still run away by the long fish, but the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, and returned to the capital directly from Chishui!
Above the court, when they learned that Song Mochen and others had defeated the Ming army, Song Mian and the courtiers cried with joy.
That night, Song Mian invited all the ministers to a banquet, and Rong Jiu sat on the banquet, looking at Song Moting's rare face with joy, and his heart was also overjoyed.
Everyone felt that this time thanks to Song Moting, otherwise they would definitely not be able to win the battle, and Jinggu Pass was very likely to be lost because of this.
In the midst of the praise and compliments, Song Moting just smiled lightly, he knew that all this was all due to Rong Jiu and had nothing to do with him.
When Song Mian asked him what reward he wanted, he actually asked for a night pearl for the first time.
Although the night pearl is rare, this is the first time that Song Moting wants to be rewarded, and in Song Mian's opinion, not to mention one, even if it is ten, he will find a way to give it to him, so in the disagreement of the ministers, he didn't want to agree directly.
At this time, bonfires were also lit in the army to celebrate the joy of this victory.
Three days later, Song Mochen arranged everything properly and led a few soldiers back to Beijing in triumph.
