Chapter 198: Bai Youlan is missing
"Butterfly!" Gu Xiaoran grabbed Xiangdie, who was almost knocked down by him, and said anxiously: "Xiangdie, listen to me......"
Xiangdie pushed Gu Xiaoran suddenly, retreated Gu Xiaoran without saying anything, and hurriedly interrupted his words and said, "The princess is gone!" ”
"Incense...... What the? What does it mean that the princess is gone? ”
Gu Xiaoran suddenly reacted to what Xiangdie said, and was also taken aback.
Xiangdie replied hurriedly: "Just now I followed the princess back, and when I reached the middle of the garden, the princess said that I wanted to sit in the pavilion, I don't know why I actually fell asleep, and the princess disappeared after waking up." ”
"Well, it scares me."
Gu Xiaoran wiped her sweat and said disapprerovingly: "I thought it was something, maybe the princess went back to rest first, it seems that she and Luo didn't have a good rest." ”
Seeing that Gu Xiaoran was not in a hurry at all, Xiangdie was so anxious that she almost jumped to her feet and said, "Impossible!" You...... I ......"
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Xiangdie's nose when she was anxious when she spoke, and she couldn't figure out what to say, and she didn't know how to say it.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoran straightened her face and said, "Xiangdie, don't worry, speak slowly, if something really happens, say it and we'll solve it together." ”
Under Gu Xiaoran's comfort, Xiangdie finally calmed down, and slowly told what had happened after leaving Gu Xiaoran just now.
Before, after Bai Youlan sneered at Gu Xiaoran with a backword, she took Xiangdie back.
When passing by the pavilion in the courtyard, Bai Youlan proposed to go in and sit down, and Xiangdie naturally had no objection.
There, Bai Youlan told Xiangdie that in fact, in the matter of Gu Xiaoran, it was probably that Xiangdie thought too much about herself, and the Gu Xiaoran she knew was not the person who looked down on others with her noble status, and then let Xiangdie think about it herself.
Of course, these conversations between Bai Youlan and Xiangdie, Xiangdie did not tell Gu Xiaoran, but just told him that the two of them were sitting in the gazebo, and for some reason Xiangdie suddenly felt very sleepy, so she fell asleep in the gazebo, and when she woke up, she found that Bai Youlan was gone.
And the reason why Xiangdie felt wrong, and was sure that Bai Youlan didn't go back to rest first, was because she was not an ordinary maid, she had martial arts internal strength, and it was impossible for her to suddenly be so sleepy that she fell asleep regardless of time and place!
After listening, Gu Xiaoran looked at Xiangdie deeply and said, "However, it was only a moment for the two of you to go out from me, how could it be ......?"
Xiangdie waved her hand to interrupt him again, saying, "Gu Xiaoran, look at the current hour!" Do you really think it's just a short time ago? ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoran looked up at the sky in surprise, this glance really shocked Gu Xiaoran, he clearly remembered that it was only noon when Bai Youlan came over, but now he actually saw the sunset!
How is this possible? He was just thinking about the meaning of Bai Youlan's words and was in a daze!
Gu Xiaoran glared at her in surprise and said, "Xiangdie, how can this be?" However, even if a long time has passed, there should be nothing wrong, and have you ever looked for it in the bedroom or Luo? Maybe she's there in Luo, and besides, isn't there a drizzle following her all the time? ”
"But ......," said Butterfly with some uncertainty, "don't you think it's strange that we have lost our concept of time?" I didn't feel any tiredness before, don't you wonder why I suddenly fell asleep and why you feel like it's only been a short time? Moreover, you have only been in contact with the princess for a short time, and you don't know that the princess is not the kind of person who will leave alone without saying a word while I am asleep. ”
Hearing Xiangdie say this, she was also a little unsure, so she had to comfort Xiangdie and said: "Xiangdie, don't worry, you go back to the princess's bedroom and the places she often goes to take a look, and I'll go to Luo to have a look, and ask Ben Lei if he knows where the drizzle is, and if you find the drizzle, you can find the princess." ”
Xiangdie nodded and hurriedly ran away.
Gu Xiaoran ran to Luo Mingxuan's study, and when he arrived at Luo Mingxuan's study, he unexpectedly saw that there was no one in the study.
Gu Xiaoran, who was a little puzzled, was about to look elsewhere, when he saw a herald running over in a hurry, and when he saw Gu Xiaoran, he looked overjoyed, and said breathlessly: "General Gu, you are here, it's great!" The prince said that there is an urgent military situation, and he ordered you to go to the military camp to discuss it quickly. ”
Gu Xiaoran nodded in response, and strode towards the direction of the barracks, but just after walking out a short distance, he turned around and beckoned to the herald just now, and said, "You go and look for ...... Forget it, it's okay. ”
Gu Xiaoran suddenly thought that Xiangdie's identity could not be revealed to outsiders, and in the eyes of others, Xiangdie was just a small guard, so how could Gu Xiaoran say to this herald?
Did you say that you were going to find Xiangdie, who was supposed to leave the border pass, or was it to find a small guard who was originally with Princess Jing and later went to him?
So Gu Xiaoran, who was helpless, had no choice but to hurriedly find a note and write a few words, and then pasted it on the door of Luo Mingxuan's study, then turned around and rushed to the barracks.
When Xiangdie searched around but didn't find any trace of Bai Youlan, and even Gu Xiaoran disappeared, when she finally found the study, she saw this note that seemed very strange in the eyes of others.
"The book is ruthless, and I am in a hurry to go to Xiaoxuan for the time being."
Although the others were puzzled, Xiangdie immediately understood, she knew that Gu Xiaoran was in a hurry and walked away, so she had no choice but to continue to look for Bai Youlan's traces.
In the barracks, Luo Mingxuan told the generals the news passed by the Eagle Falcon, and all of them, including Gu Xiaoran, were a little skeptical.
According to the news of the Eagle Falcon, the enemy army, that is, the enemy of the Qingxiao Kingdom and the Yongming Kingdom, is about to retreat tonight!
Although the enemy suffered serious losses in the Battle of Yonghaiguan, the casualties of the soldiers of the Northern Tang Kingdom were also not light, and it can be said that the two sides almost fought and lost both.
It's just that Luo Mingxuan ordered someone to collapse a large part of the Yongguan city wall, which was really unexpected by the enemy, and the kind of shock formed at that time, coupled with the soldiers of the Northern Tang Kingdom, rushed forward without fear of death, so that the enemy army immediately lost its fighting spirit, and the morale was not enough to be defeated like that.
The enemy army can regain its strength and plot again.
However, now the enemy army is so unexpectedly retreating!
In this battle, which lasted for so long, the enemy army only gained the upper hand at the beginning and invaded several cities in the Northern Tang Kingdom, but it was captured after Luo Mingxuan led his troops to come.
The two countries of Qingxiao Kingdom and Yongming Kingdom jointly invaded the Northern Tang Kingdom, and it ended like a farce?
It seems really hard to understand!
"Lord Wang," Gu Xiaoran took the lead in saying, "Is it that the enemy army is just making the illusion of retreat in order to lure our army into pursuing and falling into its trap?" ”
Luo Mingxuan didn't speak, just reached out and picked up a piece of information on the table and looked at it, and there was silence in the barracks for a while.
Just as the crowd was about to lose patience, a soldier hurried in to report that the enemy had begun to retreat, roughly the same number as the enemy, and that there was no sign of an ambush.
Only then did Gu Xiaoran and the other generals understand that Luo Mingxuan was waiting for the spies to find out the information just now.
It's just that in this way, the sudden retreat of the enemy army made everyone even more confused and confused.
"Lord Wang, do you want to chase it?"
Before Luo Mingxuan could answer, another general retorted: "No, there must be demons when things go wrong, and the enemy army will not retreat for no reason." ”
The one who spoke first retorted: "How long will it take to not chase after you at this time, will it have to wait until the enemy withdraws from the enemy country?" By that time it will be too late! ”
"It's just that they killed so many of our brothers, it's not so easy to retreat so easily!"
"No......"
A group of generals quarreled and made a mess.
"Knock Knock ......"
Luo Mingxuan's fingers lightly tapped on the table a few times, the sound was not very loud, but almost at the same time, all the generals stopped arguing, looked at Luo Mingxuan, and then immediately took a few steps back and retreated to where they should have been standing.
Luo Mingxuan indifferently ordered: "Gu Ran." ”
Gu Ran is Gu Xiaoran's pseudonym here, so Gu Xiaoran immediately responded: "The subordinates are here!" ”
"You immediately lead 10,000 soldiers to pursue the enemy, and you are only allowed to advance and not retreat."
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Feng Tianqing, you lead 30,000 soldiers to respond in Gu Ran, if you encounter an ambush by the enemy, rush over to join Gu Ran, don't fall in love."
"Yes, my subordinates have orders!"
One order after another, coming out of Luo Mingxuan's mouth, the generals who got the orders immediately gathered their troops and horses and left.
Only Gu Xiaoran walked to Luo Mingxuan's side when he was leaving, and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates must live up to their mission here, but after the prince allows his subordinates to triumph, he can disturb the princess once, and his subordinates have something to ask the princess." ”
Hearing this, Luo Mingxuan frowned slightly, although Gu Xiaoran was a little funny when she met Bai Youlan, but the two were already familiar friends, and it was normal for them to see each other. At this time, Gu Xiaoran must have meant something when he said this.
It's just that for a while, Luo Mingxuan couldn't understand what Gu Xiaoran was going to say.
In an instant, Luo Mingxuan's eyes lit up and he understood, and nodded slightly to Gu Xiaoran to signal that he knew.
It's not that Gu Xiaoran wants to pretend to be mysterious, it's just that this situation doesn't allow him to say things too clearly, not to mention whether Bai Youlan has disappeared or is still ambiguous, he can only vaguely remind Luo Mingxuan to pay attention to Bai Youlan's whereabouts.
Seeing a group of generals set off with soldiers and horses, Luo Mingxuan turned around and walked up to the city wall, and at the same time, he whispered to Ben Lei to find out where Bai Youlan was.
It's just that as soon as Luo Mingxuan's order was finished, he noticed that there was one more person beside him, and it was actually a drizzle!
