Chapter 160: Mutual Temptation
Even if he understands that the emperor's intention this time is to exterminate those old emperors, but sending troops to himself in this way is undoubtedly to monitor himself.
Moreover, many of those soldiers are very young, and maybe many of them still don't know what happened back then, so to a certain extent, it also reduces the number of people in the know.
"You know what? Recently, there seems to be a chaotic gathering near Dijin County, and it seems that this time it is not as simple as supervising the embankment. ”
"Really? Are we going to war? ”
Listening to those soldiers talking about it, Mo Xuanyin could be sure that many of them didn't know anything about the events of the year, and it was no wonder that the emperor could give him so many troops, originally thinking of relying on numerical advantages.
However, on the battlefield, it is not possible to win by numbers.
However, what is even worse is that the five people in the secret order given to him by the emperor are not good looks, and maybe they will kill themselves when they can't do it.
Because those people may not be the same as the ones they receive when they receive the secret orders.
However, according to the rules, they did not ask about the secret order, thinking that they were acting for secrecy.
Thinking of this, Mo Xuanyin didn't dare to act rashly.
However, at this time, she didn't know that in the crowd, Gu Xiqian disguised herself as a soldier and walked silently.
Hearing that this time he was going to Dijin County, according to Wuwei's intelligence and such troops, it was obvious that he was not going to build a dike, but to exterminate them.
"You know what? I heard that the prince of Dijin County planned to let some people supervise the construction of the embankment, and some of them acted secretly, planning to raid the nest of the rebel party. ”
"Don't be kidding, maybe it's just a rumor, you just want to fight? accidentally lost his life. ”
Gu Xiqian looked at them talking and laughing, obviously not understanding the cruelty of the battlefield, and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at the crowd in front of her, Gu Xiqian was a little worried about this trip to the first Jin County, although there were not many people in the old department of the emperor, but they were all elites, if it really started, it was not certain who would win and who would lose.
Two days later, Mo Xuanyin came to Dijin County, where the people saw the soldiers of the South Vietnamese Kingdom and did not say anything, and the children did not show obvious emotions, just doing their own things.
"Welcome His Royal Highness the Prince to Dijin County, please come in." The county order entertained Mo Xuanyin.
After arranging the deputy general and soldiers, Mo Xuanyin came to the county mansion.
"Lord County Order, this is a secret order entrusted to me by the emperor, please take a look." Mo Xuanyin quietly handed over the secret order. ”
Seeing the secret order's face changed, the county commander immediately said: "Don't worry, the prince, if there is anything that needs the help of the minister, the next official will definitely do it." ”
Seeing that the other party cooperated like this, Mo Xuanyin simply asked straight to the point about the situation of the old department of the former emperor of Dijin County.
The county order began to explain, a few years ago, when the county was still peaceful, a person who claimed to be the old department of the emperor suddenly appeared, and then secretly gathered troops, and even extended his power to the border, and there were already thousands of soldiers and horses.
However, there is no news of so many people, no matter how the county order investigates, there is no news, as if it is a non-existent unit.
Until recently, there was news that the old army of the former emperor had assembled in Dijin County, and the county order had already stepped up the frequency of searches, and there was indeed no news of the other party, and there were even some soldiers who disappeared mysteriously.
After Mo Xuanyin heard it, he was immediately confused, it seems that the other party not only hid it very well, but even persuaded the soldiers who took it away, if you think about it like this, those missing soldiers are estimated to have joined the other party.
"I understand, Lord Prefectural, please rest assured, I will bring back the missing soldiers, and please take care of the embankment, as for the matter of the disruptive party, leave it to me."
With Mo Xuanyin's assurance, the county order was also very happy, after all, when he heard about the old emperor, he was also a little hesitant, and the former emperor he once respected the most was now a chaotic party in their mouths, which was also a kind of heartache for him.
After talking a few words, Mo Xuanyin left the county commander's house with the five people, and then turned his head and said, "You five, go to the neighborhood to inquire about the news, and if you have any information, you will report it immediately." ”
The five of them nodded, and then left, just when Mo Xuanyin breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a person in front of him hurriedly walking in front of him.
"Alas, don't hide, I know it's you."
Mo Xuanyin saw that the other party did not respond to him, so he immediately went over and grabbed the other party's shoulder, and just when he thought that the other party was Gu Xiqian and was exposed, he saw that it was a face that was somewhat similar to Gu Xiqian.
"Childe, men and women don't kiss."
Realizing his faux pas, Mo Xuanyin immediately let go of his hand, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”
The girl ignored it, looked at the other party in a military uniform, and immediately left quickly, looking very flustered.
And not far away, Gu Xiqian, who had changed into a cloth shirt, was watching, not relieved, and after seeing his appearance, he wandered around the county after he was ready, hoping to find out the news of the old ministry of the emperor.
From passers-by to vendors, Gu Xiqian hinted that she was either regarded as a psychopath or thought she was a person who was in turmoil, and they avoided her one after another.
After walking for a long time, although Gu Xiqian thought that those people were strange, she couldn't ask for news from them, which also made her a little distressed.
When she came to the local inn, Gu Xiqian felt a little hungry, so she walked in to solve the problem of food and clothing first.
"Here, guest officer, fresh face, from out of town, right?" Xiao Er said politely.
"Yes, if there's anything delicious in your land, bring me one!" Gu Xiqian said.
Xiao Er immediately said excitedly after hearing this: "The signs hanging in the store here are all our signature dishes, guest officer, please." ”
Gu Xiqian looked at the signs hanging up inside, especially the names of the dishes in the first few brands.
However, these dishes are dishes with different tastes, and if a person calls these four dishes, he will definitely be called a fool, with sweet, sour, salty and spicy.
"Xiao Er, bring me these four dishes." Gu Xiqian said.
Xiao Er looked at Gu Xiqian and ordered these four dishes, his expression stiffened for a while, and then he smiled: "Okay, guest officer, please wait." ”
When I watched Xiao Er leave, I saw him say a few words to the shopkeeper, and I saw that the shopkeeper's expression changed immediately, and he immediately came to his ear and didn't know what to say, only to see Xiao'er nodded, and then ran into the kitchen, making Gu Xiqian feel that this inn was not simple, maybe it had a connection with the old department of the emperor.
Sure enough, after a while, when Xiao Er served the dishes, one of the dishes was deliberately pushed a few times, which seemed to hint at something.
"Guest officer, the dishes are ready, please use them slowly." After the little second cabbage was put away, he left.
Seeing the placement of the four dishes, Gu Xiqian looked a little strange, and at this time, I saw that Xiao Er and the shopkeeper were looking at themselves, as if they were paying attention to something.
At this time, I saw several peasants walking into the inn, looking at the hoe and walking in.
"Shopkeeper, as usual, the first four dishes on the brand!" One of them shouted.
"Okay, come right away, guests, please be seated!"
Gu Xiqian heard that someone also ordered these dishes, and immediately looked over, only to see that their bodies were unexpectedly strong, and they didn't look like ordinary farmers.
And the way they order the food is also very crisp, and the sentence is still like a regular customer.
Just when Gu Xiqian looked at them, I saw several farmers looking at the dishes on Gu Xiqian's table, and immediately nodded towards each other, as if hinting at something.
However, for Gu Xiqian, such a hint has already shown that they are not ordinary people, and it may even be related to the old ministry of the former emperor.
After a while, I saw Xiao Er bring the food, and several farmers surrounded Xiao Er, asked a few words, and then let him leave.
"Sure enough, that group of people is related to the old ministry of the former emperor."
Thinking that there was an opportunity in front of him, Gu Xiqian called for wine, and then leaned over and sat down.
"Big brothers, can you have a drink?" Gu Xiqian said with wine.
Several people looked at Gu Xiqian in front of them, although she was already dressed as a man, but in the eyes of the other party, her disguise gradually became untenable.
"Thanks, we don't drink." One of them said.
"Girl, if you come to inquire about it, please leave, before we do it." Another warned.
Listening to their tone, as well as their physique and eyes, it shows that they are soldiers in disguise as peasants, because military discipline is ordered, soldiers can't drink, and the family will lose to you A peasant will not have such a strong physique, and the person in front of him is not very good, which verifies her idea.
I saw Gu Xiqian walk and look again, and then sat down, "I know that you are the old department of the first emperor, and I came here to find you." ”
When everyone heard this, the polite expressions on their faces became serious, "Girl, you came to us, is there something wrong?" ”
"I remember, if the old department of the former emperor is still alive, only General Mingkun can call on you, right?" Gu Xiqian whispered.
Several peasants heard Gu Xiqian's words, and they also looked at her with a surprised expression, why did she know this, except for a few generals, there should be few people who know this secret.
"Who the hell are you?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I'm going to see your general, and I ask you to introduce you on your behalf." Gu Xiqian pleaded.
At this time, one of them looked at the other person's appearance, a little familiar, but he couldn't say it.
But since she knows the general's secret, she is naturally her own.
"That's it, tonight's second watch, come to the door of the inn, and we will answer you." One of them said.
Then, the crowd burst out laughing, and then drank and ate happily, as if the strangeness they had just had disappeared completely.
"Come, drink, don't get drunk!" Gu Xiqian gave the farmers a full meal and said proudly.
