Chapter 149: Ambush
Chapter 149 Ambush
In fact, Yongning could feel that Yuan Tiangang insisted on letting her go to Liaodong City in person at this time, it was definitely not as simple as he said, these trained birds, although they were not as good as those spirit birds in the Xiuzhen sect, but it was foolproof to send something or something, there must be something in this Liaodong City, and she needed to go over in person.
So she didn't say anything more, she just went to tell Princess Jinyang, and only said that Yuan Tiangangan sent some trivial things and needed her to go out for a trip, so that Princess Jinyang could stay in Tianxuanguan with peace of mind. Although Princess Jinyang was unhappy in her heart, looking at Yongning's serious expression, she also knew that what she was going to do would not be a "trivial matter", so she didn't stop it much, so she let Yongning go by herself.
At this time, it was still early, Yongning was not in a hurry, walked down the mountain slowly, found a hidden and uninhabited place, and directly phantomed to a small forest more than ten miles northwest of Liaodong City. The last time she came to Liaodong City, she had rested here, and the terrain was quite familiar, but as soon as she arrived at the place, she immediately noticed that something was wrong.
At this time, the sun had not yet set, but there were no birds in the forest, and it was all killed. She immediately added an invisibility spell to herself, and then immediately moved out of the direction of the illusion outside the woods, more than ten meters away. When she reacted to the sound of two bowstring plucking in the forest just now, she looked at the place where she was standing just now, and sure enough, she saw two carved arrows trembling and slightly inserted into the ground.
Yongning panicked for a while, if her reaction was so slow, then she was afraid that she would already be lying on the ground at this time, at the mercy of others. She looked around, but did not find where the archer was hiding, but felt that there was a murderous aura around her, which made her dare not move. She could have phantomed away again, but she was troubled by these two arrows in the forest, and she couldn't think of a convenient and safe place to stay, so she had to be patient with the people in the forest, and it would be consumed until it was dark.
Where she stood, there was a big tree behind her, she leaned lightly on the tree, but she didn't feel tired, and then a small detection spell was thrown out, although she still didn't see a human figure, but she already knew that there were about two or three hundred people hiding in the trees and lying on the ground in this forest, and she obviously felt that these people did not belong to Tang Jun.
Just because of this hidden kung fu, Yongning couldn't help but be a little worried, she seemed to have encountered some conspiracy
At this moment, in the forest on Yongning's left hand side, two people sneaked out, covered the front and back and rubbed into the open space where Yongning was standing just now, and after putting the two carved arrows on the ground into the quiver, the two looked around with surprise on their faces, and then talked in a low voice, and then hid back in the forest again.
Yongning raised her eyebrows, although she didn't hear what the two people were saying, she could hear that the two people were speaking the Baekje dialect, and somehow connected these people with the assassination of Li Shimin. Although Yuan Tiangang said that Suo Qingzong had already sanctioned the defense machine, who knows if the defense machine has other follow-up arrangements? In case of...... Her eyes darkened, and she looked up at the sky again, feeling that she still couldn't wait any longer, these people were so quiet now, I was afraid that they were waiting for it to get dark like her.
Li Shimin's assassination, injury, and poisoning were already a matter that greatly affected the morale of the army, and if the camp was robbed again, the situation would be even worse. Although there are only two or three hundred people in this team, who knows how many teams of such people are in the vicinity? There are not a few places near this where you can hide people and hide soldiers, and at this time, the Tang army is when people's hearts are fluctuating, so they will come to one or two thousand according to such a murderous spirit in this forest, I am afraid that it will be enough for Li Daozong to suffer a big loss around the tens of thousands of horses in Liaodong City.
Yongning gritted his teeth, ruthlessly, and didn't care whether the blue sky and daylight would scare people, and directly phantom again to the edge of the open field in front of the Tang Army's barracks. No matter what she thinks, she feels that if she just goes directly to the gate to ask for a meeting, the future troubles will be too great, not to mention anything else, but whenever someone mentions today's things and lets Princess Jinyang hear it, it will be a ** annoyance. She thought about it, and finally used the invisibility spell and cast the blood magic, directly found the location of Fang Yiai, and quietly sneaked into the Tang camp.
The assassination of Li Shimin was kept under the secret of Li Daozong and others, and although there were people entering and leaving the Chinese army's tent day and night for the past two days, no one dared to inquire about it because of the majesty of military regulations. However, a few high-level generals who knew about it were very tacitly aware of the men and horses under their command very strictly, and they were not allowed to move around or pass on words at will.
This is convenient for Yongning, this widow is still a high-standard single tent, and he is also resting in the tent at this time. Yongning first used a magic spell to find out that there was only one person in the tent, and then he dodged into the tent, and saw that Fang Yiai was sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but smile, first withdrew the invisibility spell, and added some practical spells inside and outside the tent, and then gently pushed him a few times beside Fang Yiai's bed, and shouted: "Second brother, second brother, wake up, wake up, wake up......
When Fang Yiai first opened his eyes, he thought he was dreaming, he never expected that Yongning would be able to sneak into his tent so quietly, but after being surprised, his brows immediately furrowed, and he stared at Yongning silently.
Yongning smiled slightly, took out the small porcelain bottle containing the antidote and Yuan Tiangang's letter from his sleeve, stuffed it into Fang Yiai's hand, and said: "The master sent a message to me, saying that His Majesty was poisoned, and asked me to send this antidote to ......."
As soon as Fang Yiai heard the word "antidote", she immediately jumped off the bed excitedly, holding the small porcelain bottle in both hands and said nervously: "Is this really the antidote?" Where is Yuan Tianshi now? The news of His Majesty's poisoning has not been reported, how do you know? Need an antidote? Since Yuan Tianshi has an antidote, he must also know who assassinated the emperor? ......" He had a lot of questions in his heart, although he knew that this Yuan Tiangang was a god before, but it was too incredible for God to do this, right? No mistakes in many words
Yongning pursed his lips, interrupted Fang Yiai's long list of questions, and said: "What you asked, where am I going to know, I'm just an errand runner, there is a letter from the master here, but I don't know what the master wrote in the letter......" She didn't want Fang Yiai to be involved in the matter of the debate machine, no matter what, the blood of the Li family was flowing on the debate machine, and the royal family was selfish, where was it good to participate?
Fang Yiai didn't have the heart to pursue this more at this time, and was about to go out with the antidote and letter, Yongning hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother is going to see Li Shuai?" ”
Li Daozong, as the emperor's uncle and the commander of this group, naturally had to report to him about this antidote. Fang Yiai looked at Yongning puzzled, and said: "This is natural, besides Li Shuai, who else can help the master in this matter?" ”
Yongning blinked his eyes and asked, "Then how do you talk to Li Shuai about the origin of this antidote?" ”
"Uh......" Fang Yiai understood what Yongning meant at this time, since she sneaked in quietly, she obviously didn't want others to involve her in this matter, but if she didn't tell the truth and explained the way clearly, then who would dare to feed this antidote into the emperor's mouth? He looked at Yongning with some embarrassment and said, "Then you say, how do I reply?" ”
Yongning has been embarrassed all the way for a long time, since Yuan Tiangang talked about it, she has already begun to think about it, but until this point, she has not come up with any good way to achieve the best of both worlds, and she can't help but say a little discouraged: "I haven't thought about it either, how to say it...... It's all the master's fault, but he gave me this matter, it's really troublesome......"
Fang Yiai frowned and stared at the antidote for a while, and said, "Why did you personally send this thing?" The birds you've trained are pretty good......"
"It's not all the master who said that he was afraid of something halfway, but he asked me to run it myself...... Second brother, why don't I summon a bird over now, and you can say that these things were brought to you by a bird? Yongning stared at Fang Yiai, hoping that he would accept this statement.
Fang Yiai felt very helpless, he was a general, how could he have the qualifications to directly use birds to deliver messages? Yongning said this, he was completely cheating him, he glared at Yongning fiercely, and said: "Since there are flying birds, you can let him send it directly to the Zhongjun tent to Li Shuai, and I will go over to the deputy tent now to keep an eye on it, so as to ensure that this antidote is foolproof......"
The transmission of messages in the army is now carried out in a sub-tent next to the big tent of the Chinese army, and several falcons accompanying the army are also kept there. These days, the people in the Tang army have long been accustomed to using birds to deliver news, and a young general like Fang Yiai is running to the deputy account several times a day, and he will keep a close eye on the news in the future.
Yongning smiled and thanked Fang Yiai, she thought all the way, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that Yuan Tiangang couldn't trust those birds, and he couldn't trust the people around the emperor, right? There are many words, but since Yuan Tiangang didn't say it, she just pretended not to know, anyway, she didn't want to get involved in these things.
Although the problem of this antidote was solved, there was another problem to be solved, so she once again grabbed Fang Yiai, who was about to go out, and told him carefully what she had encountered in the grove on the way to come, so frightened that Fang Yiai pulled her to look at her for a while, for fear that she would not squeak if she was hurt. After confirming that Yongning was indeed not injured, the thunderous Fang Yiai first taught Yongning a lesson about her entering the battlefield privately and was dangerously injured, and then began to complain that Yuan Tiangang was unkind and actually let a little girl from Yongning come to such a dangerous place, and finally began to think about what Yongning said about the Baekje ambush.
Yongning did not interrupt Fang Yiai's train of thought, and even accepted the previous large lecture obediently, only sitting on the bed and pretending to be a lady, looking like he had bowed his head and thought about it.
After a while, Fang Yiai frowned and said: "Don't talk about this ambush in advance, I'll find a way, you go and prepare, and send the antidote ......over quickly." After speaking, he ignored Yongning and left the tent.
Yongning sighed lightly and directly phantom shifted.
