Chapter 539: Spies
While the two of them were talking, the first wave of the Lanling army's offensive had already begun, and the entire city gate was slammed.
It seems that Gu Xiwu will not continue to use the strategy of burning the city, so these people's actions are becoming more and more irritable, as if they are revenge for being forced to extinguish the fire in the past few days.
"Niangniang, the last group of people in the city are ready to evacuate, you can join them!"
Heng Chi walked to Gu Xiwu's side after arranging the personnel below, and said, although he was completely prepared, no one knew when this place would be attacked.
"I said that I would live and die with Yongzhou!" Gu Xiwu glanced at him: "Hengchi, if I was afraid of death, I wouldn't be here, this is the last time I will tell you!" ”
She knows exactly what Hengchi is thinking in her heart, but she knows better what she is doing. Not to mention a Hengchi, even if Mo Xuanyin is standing here now, there is no way to reverse her mind.
"I ......" Heng Chi didn't say anything for a while, and silently retreated to the side, but after he walked down the city gate, he suddenly turned his head to look at the adjutant beside him: "Send someone to sneak out secretly immediately and tell Your Majesty everything about here." The focus is on the things of the queen mother during this time! ”
He had a hunch that he might not be able to bear the reckoning of some people.
"Yes!"
The adjutant received the order and immediately went to order someone to do something.
On the other side, Mo Xuanyin was counting the army that was about to rush to Yongzhou to support.
"Your Majesty, I'll just go, you can't leave the palace now!"
Gao Qi looked at Mo Xuanyin, who had already made up his mind to go to Yongzhou, and wanted to continue to persuade him.
"Who did I raise to die?" Mo Xuanyin glanced at him: "The civil and military officials are still there, so there will be no chaos!" ”
Although these old things on the big thing are not particularly reliable, if they are said to make any moths when Mo Xuanyin leaves, they will never dare.
"But the situation is special, what if out of Yongzhou, Lanling continues to harass in other places? Your Majesty, if you don't sit in the middle of the feed, it won't be reassuring in the end! ”
What Gao Qi said is also true, now at this time, Kyoto is the center of the entire Yunnan, no matter what happens, only this place can be uniformly dispatched, if Mo Xuanyin leaves, many government affairs may have to be delayed.
The current Yunnan is not as good as before, and Yunnan cannot afford to delay.
"Let people send all the next battle reports to me, rest assured, there will be no delay!"
After listening to Gao Qi's words, Mo Xuanyin pondered for a long time, and then said slowly but very solemnly. Gu Xiwu has not received any news so far, and he is very worried.
There is no reason for him to continue to sit firmly in the palace, let alone his own heart.
Now he just wants to get to Gu Xiwu's side quickly and keep her under his wings.
"Okay!"
Gao Qi was a little helpless, but he couldn't say anything else. The news from several directions is coming back in an orderly manner, only the east side of the queen's responsibility has not heard back for a long time, and if something doesn't happen, it can't be said.
"Let's go!"
After solving this matter, Mo Xuanyin waved his hand and prepared to let the army leave the camp and go to the front line.
However, before they could leave Kyoto, two men dressed in ordinary clothes blocked their way.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Mo Xuanyin took a closer look and found that these two people were the people he sent to Gu Xiwu's side. For a while, the bad feeling in my heart became even stronger.
"How did you guys get back? Is there something happening in Yongzhou! Niangniang, how is Niangniang! ”
A few questions in a row are not only what Mo Xuanyin is most curious about now, but also what Gu Xiwu wants to convey the most. It's a pity that so much news can only be determined at this moment, and all of them have been intercepted halfway.
"Yongzhou is defending hard, and Niangniang has been waiting for His Majesty's reinforcements!" The secret guard knelt on the ground, and there was a hint of questioning in his voice: "At the first time when the Lanling Army invaded, Niang Niang had already delivered the news, but now that a long time has passed, why didn't Your Majesty react at all?" ”
How did the days in Yongzhou come about, the people in Kyoto don't know, but these two people are clear. If it weren't for Gu Xiwu's fate, he might have died in Huangquan by now, not to mention that he was still guarding Yongzhou, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to keep the next few cities!
"Has there been a message from Yongzhou City?" Gao Qi frowned and darkened his face: "Kyoto hasn't received news from Yongzhou for a long time!" We've always wondered if we're on our way to that place. ”
Regarding the contact and transmission of information, Gao Qi was in charge, and now the secret guard came back and suddenly said that none of the news had been delivered to them, which had already caused an uproar in his heart.
In such a case, there are only two possible scenarios.
One is that he was intercepted halfway, although this possibility is the greatest at the moment, but Gao Qi knows that the information is destroyed so cleanly that it will not be intercepted at all. They have always passed on news, not only letters, but also many other methods, even if Lanling's spies have arranged everything on the periphery, it is impossible to be so meticulous that no news leaks out.
In that case, it can only be that there is something wrong with them internally.
I hate to admit it, but that's the truth of the matter.
"What!" Although the dark guard also vaguely guessed something in his heart, he didn't expect that he really didn't receive any news here: "How is it possible!" ”
"Your Majesty, this matter ......"
Gao Qi looked at the reaction of the two people, and his heart sank again, so he had to turn his head to look at Mo Xuanyin.
"Where's the mother? How is she? ”
Interrupting Gao Qi's words of wanting to plead guilty, Mo Xuanyin asked the two secret guards directly.
Compared with a news thing that can no longer run, he now wants to know if Gu Xiwu is okay during this time. Is there something wrong, in the days when there is no news from her, he even thinks about it.
"Mother?"
Two people, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly I don't know what to say, is it possible to tell my master now that they didn't protect the queen well, so that she was seriously injured, and now she is still standing on the city tower?
"What the hell is going on, speak!"
Seeing the movements of the two people, Mo Xuanyin knew that Gu Xiwu seemed to have an accident.
"Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang, Niangniang, she ......" The secret guard lowered his head and turned his heart sideways: "On the third day of Niangniang's arrival at the border, the Lanling army arrived, and in order to be able to keep Yongzhou, Niangniang burned a city." ”
The two of them planned to tell Mo Xuanyin one thing after another from the very beginning.
"Hmm." Mo Xuanyin snorted and waited for them to continue.
On the other hand, Gao Qi was thinking that although the plan to burn the city was huge, it might be the most effective way to delay at that time. Niangniang deserves to be a mother, and she still has real skills in the end.
"Later, he retreated to Yongzhou, and it was rumored that Niangniang would burn Yongzhou after burning the county, and the people would flee without their own." After a pause, the dark guard continued: "In order to appease people's hearts, Niangniang will stay in the city for a while every day, so that the people in the city will believe that she will be with them. ”
"It's just that the assassins from Lanling sneaked in a few days ago, and Niangniang was injured."
What the dark guard said was sloppy, but it sounded like thunder in Mo Xuanyin's ears.
"She's hurt?"
"Yes!" The secret guard knelt down in a regular manner: "It's the subordinates who didn't protect the mother, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
This incident was originally their fault as a secret guard, not only the two of them, but also the people around Gu Xiwu, when these things are over, none of them may be able to escape.
"Is it badly hurt?"
"There is no danger to life." The dark guard pursed his lips: "But the doctor said that if you go up a little further, you won't be able to return to the sky!" ”
Now that we've said it, let's tell everything as it is.
"I see!"
Mo Xuanyin took a deep breath, as if he was calming down some intense emotion. waited until the turbulent waves under his eyes were completely suppressed, and then he looked at Gao Qi.
"What did you just think, tell me!"
He was just anxious to know about Gu Xiwu's situation, but now he knew, although he was anxious. But what is more important to them is to understand the intelligence thing.
Otherwise, it's a time bomb that can be ignited at any time.
"I mean, it's probably not as simple as we thought it was at the beginning." Gao Qi shook his head: "Originally, I thought the news was intercepted halfway, but you can also see the current situation." Even if it is intercepted, it is impossible to be so clean, so it can only be hidden by your own people. ”
There is no reason for him to believe everything that is happening now, except to conceal it.
"Your people, do you have any ideas?"
The people in charge of intelligence were all cultivated by Gao Qi, just like the one he met during the previous interrogation, and many of them were born and died with Gao Qi.
So whoever is suspicious, Gao Qi feels that it is a kind of torment.
But there is no doubt, the facts are in front of you. Now there is no delay in the matter of the fighters, but if they do not find out in time, Yunnan may be destroyed.
Even if the problem in Yongzhou is solved, if something happens to Gu Xiwu, it will be a bloody storm.
He never doubted his emperor's love for the queen, but their mother's identity was really special. If he dies, Yunnan's enemy will not only be Lanling, but South Vietnam will also become Yunnan's undying opponent!
"Not yet, but as long as the clues are concentrated, it is not too difficult to check." Gao Qi thought for a while: "It's just that I really can't believe that some of these people will betray Yunnan." ”
"There's nothing you can't believe, Shen Mengxian's way of controlling people is far more powerful than you think. It's not surprising that someone on this side can rebel. Mo Xuanyin sneered, there was one sentence he didn't say.
It's just that the idea is to hit him and look for death!
