Chapter Ninety-Six: Verbal Confrontation (Thanks to Friends for Recommending Votes, Plus Update)
Yang spurred his horse, leaving Baisha Town behind, and Shu He galloped through the night on his horse, drowning his figure.
I don't know how far she ran, but when she looked up, she saw that the sky was white, and the orange-yellow wheel was about to shine brightly. She grabbed the reins, forcing the horse to stop, she looked back behind her, affectionately and for a long time, she had gone a long way, she turned back helplessly, relentlessly, kicked hard under her feet, grabbed the reins, and ran wildly, and her figure disappeared into the morning misty sky.
With her heart, she ran all the way to the northwest, she had heard the coachman say that when she arrived at Baisha Town, it would only take one day to get to the pass, and when she arrived at the pass, she thought she would be familiar with the terrain and distance.
She ran all the way, feeling a little exhausted, and the horses below her were running slower and slower, and she slowed down a little. When she came to a farmhouse, wisps of cooking smoke were rising from the roof, and she was thirsty, hungry, and tired, so she stopped and tied her horse to the grassy roadside, so that the horse could rest for a while, and by the way, she could satisfy her hunger.
Shu He approached the small courtyard of the farmhouse, stopped in the courtyard, and shouted a few "Is there anyone?", and soon a middle-aged woman came out of the house, wearing a bib, as if she was cooking.
Seeing someone coming out, Shu He hurriedly saluted and said hello, "Sister, excuse me, how far is it from here to Shensha Pass?" How to go? ”
The middle-aged woman looked closely at her, and then behind her. Looking as far away as possible, I only saw a horse grazing seriously at the intersection in front of me, and the woman moved her eyes back to Shu He's body, and looked carefully.
Shu He was a little confused by the eldest sister's reaction, so she looked down at her clothes, it was no different, she was about to open her mouth to ask again, the woman replied, "Is the girl alone?" ”
Shu He nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
The woman showed a look of surprise on her face, and then asked, "Did the girl say that she was going to Shensha Pass?" ”
Shu He nodded, and replied more simply: "Yes, eldest sister, I want to go to Shensha Pass!" ”
The woman was obviously so surprised that she couldn't do it, so she hurriedly walked out of her door and walked to Shu He's side, her expression was very complicated, "Girl, why do you want to go to Shensha Pass?" There's a war going on over there, and it's dangerous for the girl to be alone, and there's been a big incident recently, so I advise the girl not to go! ”
Shu He's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked: "Eldest sister, you said something happened, what happened?" ”
The woman hurriedly said: "The girl doesn't know yet, I heard that in the last battle, the allies captured the deputy general of our Western Army, and now, the war is very domineering, and I don't know if I can win it, the one in my family said, the battle will soon come here, and we ordinary people will suffer!" ”
When Shu He heard the eldest sister say that the deputy general would be arrested, she had a bad heart, the deputy general was Yun Dui, she still knew this, and her heart was suddenly filled with fear.
Hurriedly asked the woman, "Eldest sister, is it true that the lieutenant will be captive?" When was this? And what about the general, how is the situation? ”
The woman replied, "It is true that the lieutenant was taken prisoner, and it has been made known as yesterday." I don't know anything about the other situations, but I heard about them in the village outside the gate. So, girl, I advise you not to run over there, it's too dangerous. ”
It's because it's too dangerous, and she's going to go. That was her only relative, and she swore to die.
Shu He said: "Thank you for the reminder, I still have to go, so far, I don't know where to go, I hope the eldest sister will help me show the way!" ”
When the woman looked at her, she was puzzled, and found that her face was tired and thin, and she could not help sighing, "Alas! Knowing that there is danger, you still want to go, girl, and I can't stop you anymore. You've traveled a long way, do you want a drink? ”
Shu He was thirsty and hungry, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you eldest sister, then bother eldest sister!" ”
The woman led Shuhe into the door, brought her a bowl of tea, took a sip, and drank a bowl of water. The eldest sister hurriedly took out the teapot again and refilled it, and Shu He was a little embarrassed. When the woman saw a young girl, she was embarrassed to drink too much saliva, and she must have been hungry and could not speak.
So the eldest sister brought out a plate of baba from her stove house, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to entertain you in the house, this is a baba made of buckwheat grown by myself, if the girl does not dislike it, eat more, and then go when you are full!" ”
Shu He looked at his wife gratefully, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, eldest sister, thank you, eldest sister!" I'm really sorry. The woman was also a careful person, and she was afraid that she would be embarrassed and make an excuse to go into the stove house.
Shu He was indeed hungry, and when she saw this plate of buckwheat poop, she felt even more hungry, and she didn't feel embarrassed anymore, so she took the poop and ate it with tea.
After eating and drinking, the eldest sister also happened to come out of it, Shu He thanked again, but the woman felt that it was not worth mentioning, "The girl is polite, we are countrymen, although we are not rich and expensive, and we do not lack a little ration, the girl does not need to mind!" ”
After Shuhe said thank her, the woman sent her to the intersection and showed her the way, "Girl, go all the way west from here, only take the big road, not the small road, if you don't rest on the road, you will reach the pass when the sun sets." ”
"Thank you, eldest sister, I'm really sorry for the trouble!" At this time, Shu He finally knew how bad it was to go out without money. If there are silver taels around, stuffing some silver taels to the eldest sister is also a kind of compensation.
The woman behaved very frankly, "A little coarse tea and light food, I really don't want to speak." Girl, be sure to stay safe! ”
Shu He turned over and made a thank you gift, "Thank you, big sister!" Take care! Then he spurred his horse, and the horse was full, and now he was full of strength, and all the men and horses were in good spirits.
Shu He thought to herself, when the sun set, she could reach the pass, she must rush back today, her hands were strong, the horse's hooves accelerated, and she went several miles away in a smoke.
She thought of Yun Dui, that child was taken back, and she didn't know what the situation was now, her heart was so confused that she couldn't care about who else was behind her!
He Zhen brought back the five flowers of the clouds, everyone cheered and celebrated, this time He Zhen did not stop them from celebrating, as long as he didn't stop it, it was tantamount to letting it go, so the allied camp was lively.
When the soldiers were drinking, Chidanu walked to He Zhen's side with a wine glass, "Strategist, you have made a great contribution today, and this prince should give you a glass, come, cheers!" ”
He Zhenzai has no reason to refuse, and he can't save the face of a prince of Chidanu. immediately got up and raised his glass, "His Royal Highness the Prince, where are you talking about, it should be Weichen to respect you, how can you let His Royal Highness the Prince respect Weichen, I really don't dare to be, Weichen respects you!" ”
He Zhen had a glass of wine, and when he looked up, Chidanu suddenly smiled, and instructed the maid who poured the wine, "The wine is full, everyone, it's hard work, it's really gratifying to capture a member of the enemy general today, everyone don't be formal, come, let go and drink!" ”
Everyone said: "Thank you, Your Highness!" "The people in this camp are all generals, deputy generals and other figures in important positions, and they have a glass of wine and a glass of wine, but they have not drunk as much as the generals outside.
Chidanu did not return to his seat, but was filled with wine by the sommelier on the spot, and spoke again: "Strategist, this man has been brought back from your captivity, and it is really hard for you. This is the matter of care, just leave it to me, I have been letting you work, I don't do anything, one is that I can't bear to see you working all the time, and the other is that I seem to be too unsympathetic, and I don't know what other soldiers are talking about me behind my back! ”
When these words were spoken, none of the people present could not hear what they meant, and the others pretended to taste wine and did not dare to interject. He Jiade, who was next to He Zhen, was about to speak, but He Zhen signaled him to stop.
He Zhen was busy kneeling, "His Royal Highness is a high-ranking prince, with his own majesty, no one dares to talk about His Highness behind his back!" Take care of the captives, if Your Highness doesn't trust me He Zhen, I can transfer people to His Highness's command now!" ”
He Zhen wanted to order the attendants behind him to go out, but of course he was sure that Chidanu would not do this, because he had already made his mind clear. Chidanu immediately stopped the attendant, "Wait! Strategist, what I said, I naturally believe in the military advisor, but I am worried that the military advisor will work too hard. ”
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, He Zhen should work hard for His Highness, don't mention it again, everyone here is all hard, Your Highness hurry up and drink with the generals, don't let other generals feel that Your Highness is too partial to the ministers!" He Zhen's words are nice on the surface, but if you taste them behind it, it's not that kind of taste!
The generals immediately toasted and shirked the matter like this, and Chidanu drank with everyone with a stomach full of anger, and his face was really ugly.
