Chapter 700: Departure from the Desert
Hu Shuntang gave a bunch of examples, what bandits, what other monsters, and monsters in the desert. Wei Chiran didn't interrupt him, let him say vigorously, and vigorously described how terrifying the undead desert was, and after he finished speaking, Wei Chiran stopped and asked, "Has the general finished speaking?" "Lazy people listen to books
Hu Shuntang immediately said: "The last general is finished." ”
Wei Chiran smiled and said, "There is a secret gate general, do I still need to be afraid of these?" ”
This sentence directly blocked Hu Shuntang's mouth, he said so many dangers, but he forgot what he did, he was the general responsible for protecting the peace of this party, if he couldn't guarantee the safety of the little prince, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty? So, he just smiled awkwardly and asked, "Little Wangye, will you leave tomorrow morning?" ”
Wei Chi nodded and said, "Yes, we will leave tomorrow morning." ”
That night, in Anfu, Hu Shuntang was so anxious that he walked back and forth, but An Wanghai sat there drinking wine and eating meat. Hu Shuntang stepped forward and took his cup: "Still drinking?" Help me figure it out! ”
An Wanghai raised his eyes and looked at him: "What can I do for you?" ”
Hu Shuntang raised his cup and said: "The little prince is going to enter the desert, you also know that he disappeared last time because he went to the desert, and he will go again this time!?" What if something happens again! ”
An Wanghai said lazily: "Last time, he ran into the desert without permission, this time is different, with you and the army by your side, can something else happen?" If something really happens...... An Wanghai got up and grabbed Hu Shuntang's hand holding the cup, "Then you, the secret general, are a wine bag and a rice bag!" ”
Hu Shuntang was enraged, broke An Wanghai's hand, and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp: "An Wanghai, what do you mean by this?" Don't forget ......"
An Wanghai didn't avoid his eyes: "Don't forget what?" Don't forget that I provided you with your smuggled military salary, and don't forget that I provided you with water and food for your 50,000 troops? What else? And what else should you forget? ”
Hu Shuntang said hatefully: "Don't forget, what does your caravan do, why can you make so much money!" ”
An Wanghai smiled: "I haven't forgotten, you can go to the court, you try." ”
Hu Shuntang finally put the cup down: "An Ye." ”
An Wanghai also clenched his fists: "General Hu, why do we bother?" ”
Hu Shuntang also smiled: "It's me who is not good, I am too excited." ”
An Wanghai poured the wine again and handed one of the cups to Hu Shuntang: "General Hu, don't forget, what is the secret we have to keep, once this secret is leaked, the court will not let us go." ”
Hu Shuntang didn't drink, but said, "I'm wondering, who was Master He killed?" ”
An Wanghai jokingly asked, "Huh? Didn't you kill it? ”
Hu Shuntang was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I thought you killed it!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, laughed, drank the wine in the glass, and sat down again.
An Wanghai said: "Tomorrow accompany the little prince to the sand demon lair, safety first, don't let anything happen to him, in short, when he finishes investigating the case, no matter what the outcome of the case is, send him to the secret door, and then you and I will be free." ”
Hu Shuntang sighed and said: "Yes, the little prince is too troublesome, he will go to the desert to play, and the result is to investigate the case, you say...... Wait, did the little prince come here when he first came here to investigate the case? ”
An Wanghai said: "Who knows? "In fact, I was also thinking in my heart, could it be that the real little prince is here to investigate the case? In addition, An Wanghai can't be sure now, is Wei Chiran the real little prince? If so, then fine, if not, he will continue to check like this, in case he finds something else, it will be a real trouble.
However, I have the emperor behind me. An Wanghai smiled again when he thought of this, and relaxed again.
In the county secretary's mansion, He Chenxue and Tang Anshu were also full of sadness, because Wei Chiran's reasoning, that reasoning about He Changlong's indulgence of the sand demon, made them really uneasy. In fact, both of them knew in their hearts and understood that He Changlong had indeed indulged the sand demon in the past, strictly speaking, the sand demon harmed people, and the number of times it was not as good as that of bandits, it should be said that it was far inferior to bandits, and there were six cases in so many years, and three people died. There were two other people who couldn't be 100% sure that the sand demon did it.
This is also the reason why He Changlong has always been reluctant to send troops to encircle and suppress the sand demon, he doesn't think that the sand demon is a threat, but doing so is tantamount to fighting against the imperial court.
He Chenxue looked at the candle and said, "You say, why did the imperial court exterminate the sand demon?" ”
Tang Anshu shook his head and said, "My lord, let's not explore the secrets of the imperial court, it's dangerous." ”
He Chenxue said again: "Is the threat of the sand demon really that big? ”
Tang Anshu just shook his head and stopped talking.
He Chenxue suddenly asked, "Did you already know something?" ”
Tang Anshu immediately said: "I don't know, if I knew, I would have said it a long time ago." ”
He Chenxue got up: "What the little prince said is right, if my father is not related to the sand demon, how can there be such a secret passage?" That secret passage is not something that can be dug up by anyone, what is the relationship between my father and the sand demon? Why did he want to protect the sand demons on the one hand, and at the same time send Tang Qianlin to kill them? ”
Tang Anshu just said: "I can't find the answer now, let's go to the sand demon lair tomorrow, look at General Hu's reaction today, maybe there is some secret hidden there." ”
On the sixth day, everyone spent the time in suspicion of each other and their own ghosts. Wei Chiran stayed in the inn, he wanted to make a temptation, now it was his turn to test these people, he wanted to see if anyone would trouble him tonight?
However, after waiting all night, it was quiet, there was no expected killer, no one else came looking for him, and the entire Iron Prison County was surprisingly quiet. It was this quietness that gave Wei Chiran a feeling that something big might happen tomorrow.
In the early morning of the seventh day, Hu Shuntang led 500 secret gate troops to wait outside the city, and He Chenxue and Tang Anshu also arrived outside the city early. Wei Chiran looked at the crowd of black pressure and wondered how many people were there? After careful questioning, I learned that there were five hundred.
Five hundred people have this formation? This secret army seems to be very strong in combat. The lieutenant turned over and saw that most of the people in the group were carrying water bags, as well as camels carrying food and water.
Wei Chiran asked, "How many days are we going to be here?" ”
Hu Shuntang replied: "At least five days, at most six or seven days." ”
Wei Chi said: "So long? ”
Hu Shuntang said: "Little prince, the desert of the undead is not the back garden of the palace. ”
Wei Chiran smiled: "Let's go." ”
Hu Shuntang glanced at He Chenxue helplessly and ordered the team to set off.
When the mighty team left the Iron Prison County, An Wanghai stood on the city wall and looked out, and Zhan Tianya was still standing beside him, because as soon as these people left, Zhan Tianya had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of city defense and order in the city.
An Wanghai said with a smile: "The burden on Lord Zhan's shoulders is a lot heavier, right?" ”
Zhan Tianya responded coldly: "I don't feel much." ”
An Wanghai took a deep breath: "I hope it is safe." ”
Zhan Tianya asked, "What do you mean?" ”
An Wanghai looked up at the sky: "I'm just praying." ”
Looking ahead, there was no human figure in sight except for a piece of sand and dust, as if the desert had completely swallowed up the five hundred or so people.
At the same time, a man and a horse appeared under the city, and the leader held the token of the secret gate, and went directly to the deputy general who guarded the door, claiming to see the county guard.
When the adjutant general saw the token, he immediately said, "My lord, the county guard has just left with the secret general. ”
The man frowned and asked, "Where did you go?" ”
The adjutant general said: "I went to the desert." ”
The man asked, "What are you going to do in the desert?" ”
The deputy general said: "I heard that it was an investigation, and I accompanied the little prince to investigate the case." ”
The man was shocked: "Little prince? ”
An Wanghai and Zhan Tianya, who were on the city tower, looked at this person and immediately went downstairs, because the token of the secret door was not owned by everyone, and this identity was equivalent to a general Qin cha, and they could not be neglected.
Zhan Tianya went downstairs and immediately claimed his identity, the man put his hand behind his back and said, "I am Tang She, the special envoy of the king!" ”
Envoy of the King? An Wanghai heard that cold sweat was dripping down, and it was over.
At this time, Wei Chiran, who was already in the desert, didn't expect that the last person he had been looking forward to should appear, that is, Tang She, turned out to be the envoy of the king, that is, the person who could directly expose his identity.
After Zhan Tianya invited Tang She to the Prison Temple, he sat down to serve tea, and then talked about recent events, and also said that Wei Chiran was related, which meant that they took good care of the little prince. An Wanghai also helped, he had already repaired the book to the prince, so that the prince could rest assured that the little prince was fine.
After hearing this, Tang She just said, "How could the little prince come to investigate the case?" Isn't he here to play? ”
Zhan Tianya and An Wanghai glanced at each other, how could they know?
Tang She saw that the two were puzzled, and said, "The little prince didn't say what was going on?" ”
The two just shook their heads, and Tang She fell silent.
Zhan Tianya asked: "Xiaguan dared to ask the lord, don't you know that the lord came to find the little prince to take him back to the capital?" ”
Tang She said: "One is to take him back to the capital, and the other is to investigate the murder of the former county guard." ”
Yes? Did the imperial court really send someone down? Zhan Tianya and An Wanghai knew that it was time to toss again, and when the little prince and they came back, it was estimated that they would have to toss again. However, An Wanghai didn't know what to do, as soon as Wei Chiran came back, this person would immediately judge that he was definitely not the little prince, and he and Hu Shuntang would be dead at that time.
Do you want to take advantage of these few days to pack up and run away?
On the seventh and eighth days, Wei Chiran spent his time in the desert, this desert of the undead was simply terrifying, during the hottest days of the day, the sand on the ground burned his feet through his boots, and at night, if he did not rely on the bonfire, he would be directly frozen to death, and I heard that it would even snow in farther places.
Snow in the desert? It's simply unimaginable.
At noon on the ninth day, the brigade came to a sand dune, and the continuous sand dune lieutenant knew that in the original world, this kind of landform called Yadan was not a sand dune at all.
Wei Chiran rode his horse and looked ahead: "The sand demon lair in front?" ”
Hu Shuntang nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Wei Chi Chi asked, "The main battlefield of the day is here?" ”
Hu Shuntang pointed to the open space in front of Yadan: "It's right there." ”
Wei Chiran looked carefully and found that there were still a lot of bones on the ground, those bones were covered with leather armor, and there were still many rusty weapons left on the ground, but most of them were covered with sand, and Wei Chiran couldn't restore the situation of the sand demon annihilation battle five years ago in his mind.
