Chapter 19 The Boundary Rejected (Ask for Recommendation and Collection~)
"Your Majesty, the prince has already handed over the paperwork and asked about the entry into the conscription, you see, how to reply?" Amoki asked King Klee.
King Keli did not come out until ten days after the death of the second princess, her face was haggard, the brilliance in her eyes was not as impressive as before, and she walked a little tremblingly, looking like she was ten years old.
The first thing he ordered was to clearly demarcate the national border, send heavy troops to guard it, and prevent people from entering the national border, and then withdrew the conscription list and rejected the sub-attack conscription. The reason for this was not said by King Klee, and after the order, he did not let people ask more.
The Keli Dynasty waved his hand at Amoki, Amoki didn't understand the meaning, and wanted to ask again, but was pulled out of the tent by Yu Ming and left after saying a few words.
Yu Ming returned to the tent and asked, "Father, since the day the spring feast ended, the kings have written letters to hold them accountable, should we revise the book to clarify the situation with them, so as to stabilize the friendship between the countries?" ”
Since Mr. Ling's disappearance, Yu Ming has begun to take over some affairs in the country to fill the vacancy.
King Keli sneered after hearing this, as if laughing at himself: "I tried my best to please him, and once I forgot about it, this kind of friendliness." ”
"Father?" Yu Ming couldn't hear clearly, so he asked again, "Can this be done in this matter?" ”
"That's it, whatever you want." King Klee seemed to be tired, and leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Father has never explained anything to himself, Yu Ming thought about it and did what he wanted, and was about to leave the account when he was stopped again.
"Did you find someone surnamed Ling?"
"No trace has been found."
"You must capture him alive, send out all the soldiers and horses, and I will definitely capture him back!"
Yu Ming could only take orders. He had never seen his father so angry with Mr. Ling, it must be related to the death of the second princess, but his father never mentioned the reason for the slightest thing, which really didn't make people guess. Moreover, it is even more strange that his father only asked to find Mr. Ling, but did not mention the disappearance of Yu Wang and Aunt Chun.
"Stand down." King Keli seemed to be much tired for a moment, "Go and call Jin'er and talk to me." ”
Yu Ming stepped back.
The border between Ziguo and Keli was originally a half-dead poplar, because it was surrounded by a desert and uninhabited, and the two countries did not care much, with Populus euphratica as the boundary, and did not interfere with each other.
Now, however, there are a few more rows of Saxon trees in this desert, with thin branches and sparse foliage, which are newly planted at a glance, and they circle around the desert, and as far as the eye can see, there is a bright green dividing line.
The border between Keli and Zi Zheng has changed from a vague poplar and a desert to a green barrier visible to the naked eye, and the meaning of the boundary is clear.
Prince Shi Shu and general Ning Zeqing led the army to stand outside this line.
Klee had previously agreed to the conscription and set a time to go to Klee, but when it came time to enter the border, she found that there were soldiers guarding the border, and did not agree to the entry of the army.
The prince immediately wrote a letter to the king of Keli, but all he received was a verbal message.
"Due to an emergency in the country, I withdrew the promise of the son to attack the conscription, and asked the prince to forgive me."
This move is really strange, the conscription that was originally scheduled was suddenly rejected, and now even the national border is not allowed to enter, and the reply is only a verbal message.
What happened to make King Klee's temperament suddenly change drastically?
The crown prince and Ning Zeqing glanced at each other, and there was doubt in their eyes.
"Let's go."
The crown prince ordered a retreat, and the group could only make a detour to their next destination.
Qu Mingli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was originally worried that he would be recognized by people if he recruited in Keli, but Uncle Ling told him not to return to Keli within half a year, not to reveal his true identity, and if he returned with the army, he would not be able to meet someone who knew him.
Fortunately, this conscription was canceled, and there was no need to worry about being exposed.
It's just that for some reason it was suddenly canceled. Although he was not very clear about his father's plan, he also knew that his father had made arrangements, and why he suddenly repented.
He was puzzled, but he retreated with the army.
This was an unexpected event on the conscription journey, and after some delay at the border, I set up camp on the spot today and set off for the next stop tomorrow.
The tents that were temporarily erected were limited, and Qu Ming and Ban Fei were crowded together that night.
Although Qu Mingli has a big temperament, he knows the difference between men and women, and he still has some mind spending the night together, and he doesn't talk to him all night.
Ban Fei only thought he was still angry, and didn't bother him, so he went to work elsewhere. As soon as the itinerary changes, many things need to be rearranged.
When he arrived, Ban Fei had not yet returned, and there was a sudden commotion outside the tent.
"There's a man in black breaking in! There's a man in black breaking in! ”
"Come and escort, escort!"
The sound of gongs and drums is endless.
Qu Mingli got up to check, and as soon as he walked to the tent, he was suddenly covered by a man in black and threw himself back into the tent.
Qu Mingli pinched the man's wrist and pressed the veins hard, wanting him to let go, but the man screamed softly: "It hurts!" ”
The sound is so familiar.
The man let go of his hand and took off his mask, it turned out to be Uncle Ling. But after a closer look, he found that Uncle Ling's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be a little haggard than before, and he was not as soft and intimate as before.
Qu Mingli was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Ling, why are you!" ”
Uncle Ling rubbed his wrist and said strangely, "You are good at this hand." ”
Qu Mingli was embarrassed: "How did I know it would be you." Are all those people out there looking for you? ”
"I accidentally saw the shadow of someone, and I was careless."
Qu Mingli smiled: "What are you doing with me?" ”
"Naturally, it's to see how you're doing in the army, and it seems that you're doing well."
"That's nature." Qu Ming was proud, and asked again, "How is the family?" Does Father know what my position is now? Aunt Chun, does she miss me so much? ”
Uncle Ling was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Your Aunt Chun naturally misses you. There was a tentative look on his face.
Qu Ming didn't doubt that he had him, remembered the rejection of the border in the morning, and asked him again: "I went to Keli to recruit troops today, but I was not allowed to enter outside the border, did my father regret it?" ”
Uncle Ling was about to answer, when someone outside the tent shouted: "Deputy General Squad, search as usual, can you allow your subordinates to enter?" ”
Qu Mingli motioned for Uncle Ling to stay in the hidden place in the tent and go out by himself.
"The adjutant general went out on errands and was not in the account." He walked out and said.
Seeing that it was the "Wolf Guard", this person spoke in a lower voice: "Then, can you let me go in and take a look." ”
"There's no one in the tent, you don't have to look at it," Qu Mingli squinted his eyes at him, "Or do you not believe what I say?" ”
"Don't dare, then I'll search elsewhere first." After saying that, he took the people away.
A person next to him also complained to him: "I have searched all over the camp, but there is nowhere to go, you must have read it wrong, how can there be anyone in the wilderness." ”
"Perhaps." The people who came to search were themselves shaken.
Qu Ming walked away from them and returned to the tent, Uncle Ling hurriedly walked out and said to him: "This place is not suitable for a long time, I will leave after I finish." Your father refused to enter the country for the sake of your training, for fear that you would show your flaws when you returned to China. You should also be more careful not to be identified in the future. If anything else, I will come to you again, and you must not act rashly. ”
Qu Mingli nodded in agreement, and Uncle Ling put on a mask and quietly slipped away again.
It didn't take long for Ban Fei to return.
"There was an outsider intruding in the evening, so I searched for a while." Ban Fei explained.
"How's it going, have you found him?" Qu Mingli seemed to have no intention, and his tone was flat.
"No, I've searched everywhere, but I haven't seen anything."
Qu Mingli was a little weak and didn't dare to speak.
Ban Fei continued: "It may also be that the guards are dazzled, there are many crows here, the bonfire is dark, and there are also eyes to look away." ”
Qu Ming thought that it would be best if it was regarded as a blind eye.
The two didn't talk much and had an awkward night.
