Chapter Seventy-Five: Border Rescue
Chapter Eighty-Three: Border Rescue
Nangong Keqing walked out of the courtyard and saw Xuanye waiting at the door, as if he had something to say, "Master." β
Nangong Keqing smiled lightly, "What's wrong?" Standing guard here early in the morning? β
"The former master is gone, and he asked me to tell you, if ...... Think...... He can write a letter and give it to his subordinates, and his subordinates can send it out. After saying that, Xuanye's face turned red, it was too explicit, how could the former master of their family be like this?
Nangong Keqing didn't expect such a show, so she was a little embarrassed and muttered in a low voice: "Who misses him." β
Yuhe's ears were tipped, and he immediately heard what Miss said, "Miss, who are you thinking?" β
"Miss you...... Dislike. Nangong Keqing smiled shyly and resentfully.
While laughing, I only heard the golden steward hurrying over and shouting: "Someone has come to the palace, come to preach the holy decree!" β
Nangong Keqing immediately walked out of the outhouse, and in the courtyard stood the father-in-law Xiao Yuanzi who announced the decree, followed by a few soldiers, only to see him shake off the dust and read sharply: "Nangong Keqing takes the order." β
Nangong Keqing and the others knelt down to listen to the order.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and said, the border Xiqi country has repeatedly provoked and launched border wars, my Liuli country sent envoys and generals to negotiate, but for no reason to confine it, now send the third prince Yu Wenyue to lead the elite soldiers to the border to rescue, the county lord Nangong Keqing in the autumn hunt to show the scarf country does not let the eyebrows, red face is better than the spirit of the child, specially sent to assist the three princes Yu Wenyue. Chin this! "Xiao Yuanzi finished reading the holy decree and handed it to Nangong Keqing." Give thanks! β
Nangong Keqing's brows were furrowed, she had an intuition, this time it must have been pre-arranged by someone, how could she go to the battlefield with a female stream? She had a faint smell of conspiracy.
Nangong Keqing replied respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live." β
Nangong Keqing got up, pulled Xiao Yuanzi's father-in-law aside, and just wanted to ask the reason, Xiao Yuanzi's father-in-law said softly, "The emperor is helpless about this matter, this matter is recommended by Yu Wenyan and the ministers." The emperor asked me to bring a message and let you be more careful. Although there is a conspiracy, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, the person who was imprisoned is the emperor's person, a rare general, and he doesn't want to be damaged like this, this time he must have made a mistake to enter the trap. Then he attached it to Nangong Keqing's ear and said: "The emperor said, the county lord does not have to worry, assist the three princes, and wait for the opportunity to disintegrate the power of King Rui." β
Nangong Keqing glanced at Xiaoyuanzi's father-in-law and knew it well.
After sending off Xiaoyuanzi, Nangong Keqing returned to the main house.
At this time, Chongyang flashed in and hurriedly said, "Master, this trip will definitely be dangerous, and my subordinates will go with you." β
Xuanye also rushed over and expressed his determination: "Subordinates too." β
Nangong Keqing looked at them very pleased, "You are indispensable, it's just that things are not that simple." β
Chongyang and Xuanye looked at Nangong Keqing waiting for her next.
"Yu Wenyan is seriously ill and causing trouble at the border, how coincidental is this? When is he not sick but he is sick at this time, he should have gotten there, but now it is the third prince who goes, and I also released the news that the cliff is recuperating at home and not seeing guests, what kind of heart do you say he is at ease? Nangong Keqing analyzed.
Chongyang pondered for a moment, "The subordinate feels that Yu Wenyan is testing you, he doesn't believe that you are injured, or he knows that your medical skills are good and you have been cured, maybe he wants to put you and the third prince in danger through this matter." β
Xuanye analyzed: "Yuwen Yan must have designed an ambush, he doesn't want the lives of the three princes two or three times a day." β
"Didn't this old emperor send a capable soldier to arrange for a woman like me to go to the border, would he trust me so much?" Nangong Keqing couldn't cry or laugh, it is estimated that the old emperor also knew that she was pretending to be sick at home!
Chongyang said indignantly: "Don't say that the emperor trusts the girl, and his subordinates also firmly believe in the girl, but it must be Yu Wenyan who is fueling the troubles, and I don't know what kind of conspiracy is waiting for you and the third prince in front." β
"Hmmm! No matter what lies ahead, even if there is no emperor's will, I will accompany Xiaoyue for a while. Nangong Keqing looked serious.
With her sister-brother relationship with Yu Wenyue, it is impossible for her to stay out of the matter.
Yu Ling and Yu He looked at Nangong Keqing with blank eyes, the meaning was too obvious, and they also wanted to go.
"You two stay behind, the border is not a place where women should go, I have a holy purpose, you also have a very important mission, when I am not there, my shops and farms will be shown to me, be careful that someone takes advantage of the situation." Nangong Keqing confessed.
Yu Ling said: "Yes! Miss! Slaves and maids must guard their homes and shops. β
"Mademoiselle, can you come back before the FΓΌhrer? Let's celebrate the holidays together. Yuhe said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back to celebrate the holiday with you, wrap you with a big red envelope, and help me prepare more red envelopes." Nangong Keqing patted Yuhe's shoulder and said.
"Chongyang, help me deliver a letter to the Three Princes' Mansion." Nangong Keqing returned to the room and sprinkled a few strokes, and handed it to him in the envelope.
The letter probably said that this trip was dangerous, and Kyoto needed him to arrange more manpower to plan and be careful about the opportunity to launch a mutiny.
Turning around, Nangong Keqing began to pack her bags......
Early the next morning, Nangong Keqing disguised herself, she was dressed in men's clothes very chic, the only thing that looked awkward was that her legs were wrapped into zongzi and carried into the carriage.
Outside the corner, a pair of triangular eyes monitored this scene, "Show you enough ......" Nangong Keqing glanced at the corner, the play still has to be done.
This time, Nangong Keqing only brought Chongyang and Xuanye, as well as the other eight secret guards, of course, those eight secret guards did not appear in the team, but hid in the shadows, and the county lord's mansion left four secret guards to protect their safety, in case of emergency.
Outside the city, Yu Wenyue led a group of soldiers to join Nangong Keqing.
"Sister, it's my younger brother who is not good and involves my sister." Yu Wenyue was very guilty.
Nangong Keqing said indifferently, "Even if there is no such thing, do you think that Yuwenyan will let me go?" Then, after a pause, he said, "Even if there is no holy decree, I don't worry that you will go alone." β
Yu Wenyue shouted movingly: "Sister......"
"There is no need to say much between sisters and brothers, everything is in the silence." Nangong Keqing stretched out her hand and lightly picked Yu Wenyue's chin and said.
Yu Wenyue was so shocked that her face was red, and she said angrily: "Sister, such a touching atmosphere of sister and brother affection has been made so frivolous by you, I'm not afraid that your one will be angry!"
Nangong Keqing said nonchalantly, "Which one of mine is mine?" I didn't have a word of it! Talk nonsense. β
"Oh, did you say it...... And said no, from the truth, who is that person? Yu Wenyue grinned.
"Stinky boy, trick me again, is the skin tight, I'll loosen it for you." Nangong Keqing snorted angrily, and he was going to be right.
"Sister, is this saying that people are annoyed if they can't?" Yu Wenyue grabbed her sister's feet and began to be indomitable.
Nangong Keqing said solemnly: "Okay! Don't make trouble, what are your plans? β
Yu Wenyue immediately restrained her smile and became serious, "Knowing that it is the second brother's design, we can't jump in, we can only outwit, sister, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, we have to bother my sister to ride a horse." β
"Don't worry! I can. As he spoke, he began to remove the bandages and planks on his legs.
After a few days of rapid horsework, we finally reached the border.
Since the border was under the jurisdiction of King Rui, the domestic economy was relatively stable, the border seemed to be very stable, and the imperial court did not prohibit the people from leaving the country.
It's just that at the beginning of this period of time, whether it was trade or troops on the border, they began to make trouble and riots, and Xiqi State repeatedly provoked and seemed to want to start a border war, and this time Yu Wenyan was not at the border, but under his recommendation, let the three princes take on this important task, not to mention that the soldiers brought out by Yu Wenyan would not listen to the three princes, even if they obeyed the three princes, I am afraid that there are many eyeliners staring at his every move and ventilating the news, maybe this rescue will be in vain. And the delicate relationship between Yu Wenyan and neighboring countries shows Yu Wenyan's insidiousness.
Nangong Keqing and Yu Wenyue did not go to Yu Wenyan's military camp on the border, but directly brought more than 20 people disguised as businessmen and entered the border in batches.
Before starting, Nangong Keqing asked Xuanye to find out where the grain and grass were placed, they were really thoughtful, and put the grain and grass in such a hidden and difficult to find place, it turned out that they put the grain and grass on the other side of the river.
On the fourth watch, it was night when she couldn't see her five fingers, Nangong Keqing thought of a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, she asked everyone to ambush near the Xiqi State military camp, stay still, and instructed Yu Wenyue to act when she saw the fire.
Chongyang and Xuanye followed Nangong Keqing, and the three of them were dressed in black, "You have to take me, I won't swim." β
Chongyang and Xuanye seemed to have discovered something new, and said in surprise: "Finally, there is one item that the girl can't do." β
Nangong Keqing immediately had three black lines above her head, it's too normal for her to have something that she can't do!
"The river is too wide, it needs to be very watery, and it requires a long breath-holding time, so it's hard for us to do it, as long as we poke our heads out, we will be discovered." Chongyang's face was solemn.
Xuanye watched Nangong Keqing carrying a large bag of unknown objects, and was very puzzled, "Master, what is this?" β
"Diving equipment, used to breathe, can breathe freely in the water." Nangong Keqing explained.
Chongyang was overjoyed, and Nangong Keqing handed over the usage methods to the two of them one by one......
The three of them went into the water together, Chongyang and Xuanye both sighed, how can the master have all kinds of strange things, this is simply a divine assist!
The three of them rushed into the vicinity of the grain and grass like ghosts, and because the officers and soldiers patrolled too frequently, the three of them could only stop here, "What should I do?" We've been
Don't go. "Xuanya said.
Nangong Keqing unhurriedly took out a large bottle of alcohol cotton from his sleeve and handed it to the two, "Put this thing on the arrow, and it will make a "bang" sound when it encounters fire...... Be sure to let them see the most brilliant sparks. β
"Put a few more arrows, don't be too stingy." Nangong Keqing smiled sinisterly.
The two thought to themselves, put a few more arrows, and no one should offend his master, otherwise he will only set fire and **.
"Bang ......" Bang ...... "Bang ......" Several explosions sounded, and the barracks were frightened by the sudden explosion, "The grain is on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire, it's ...... fire."
"Hurry up and put out the fire......"
"Ah...... Help me! "The smell of burnt grain, the cries of soldiers for help, the sound of crackling horns and explosions were endless.
The barracks on the other side of the river found the fire, and immediately sent troops to support, and the bamboo platoons were full of soldiers, constantly scooping water and fighting fires by the river, but they didn't know the power of the alcohol, and the more they used water to put out the fire, the bigger it became, but it expanded the burning area, and some soldiers panicked, and unfortunately they were surrounded by the fire and buried in the fire.
On the other side, Yu Wenyue was very excited to see this scene, his sister was so powerful, he shouted loudly: "Chong, rescue the hostages for me." β
Due to the fire on the other side of the river, all the soldiers in the enemy camp went to extinguish the fire, and there were not many people standing guard on this side to patrol......
"It seems that the military rations have been burned? Shall we put out the fire? A soldier said nervously.
Another soldier said impatiently: "We are all gone, who is watching him?" He is the general of Liuli Country, and our general said that he should be optimistic about the hostages. β
"But ......"
"No, but, the hostages are gone, and you are responsible for luring the three princes of the Liuli Kingdom over?" As he was speaking, Yu Wenyue flashed into the camp tent, and his tone was cold, "No need, this prince is here in person to see if you have the ability." β
The two soldiers were too frightened, and before they could react, they were wiped by Yu Wenyue's neck, "Quick, take General Mu." At this time, General Mu was unconscious.
The soldiers of Xiqi were desperately trying to save food, and no one noticed what was happening in the camp, so they were taken away without knowing it.
"The military rations of 100,000 people are gone...... General Shi sat on the ground with emotion, crying bitterly.
At this time, Nangong Keqing and Yu Wenyue converged, looking at Nangong Keqing who was shivering from the cold, Yu Wenyue felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly put her clothes on her body, "Thanks to my sister's good strategy, we didn't lose a single soldier to save General Mou." β
"Let's go back quickly!" Nangong Keqing didn't want to chat with them here, she froze to death.
