47, woe to Xiao Wall
Mo Yu twisted on the placket of his clothes, rubbed off a little white powder, and suddenly said, "It's a medicine, right?" Where did you get the money to buy the medicine? ”
Han Chong said hesitantly: "The master just goes to the street to earn ......."
Mo Yu looked at him with an expression of "I know", and nodded his head twice, no, Han Agou is the ancestor of all those deceptive tricks on the street.
"Can't you pretend to worship Lao Tzu so much? Don't Rory, let's go. Han Chong picked up the ink rumor and ran to the wall.
"No, Ah Dog, listen to me, I promised Xiao Zhen to stay here for a month, and now it's only five days......" Mo Yu tried her best to explain, her words were drowned out by the noise of swords clashing, and on the wall inside the mansion, a row of guards with bows and crossbows stood out, and the shining arrows pointed at the two people who were already hiding by the wall.
"His grandmother's Xiao Zhen! There are so many people hiding in his own house......" Han Chong cursed, picked up the ink rumor and jumped on the wall, outside the wall, a horse stolen from nowhere was gently digging the soil on the ground with its hooves.
A platoon of archers unleashed their bowstrings at the same time, and the arrows shot at them like locusts. Han Chong pushed Mo Yu down first, and swept behind him with a wide knife to block the flying arrows. At this time, if you twist and shirk again, you can only leave your lives here, Mo Yu let go of his hand, let go of the little fox, and then quickly untied the rope of the horse.
When Xiao Zhen walked out of the room, he happened to see this chaotic scene. He kicked on the nearest archer: "Who told you to release the arrows?" Get out of the way! The archer spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction with his moody temper towards his master. Didn't all the people who usually break into the mansion be shot to death, why can't they do it today?
Mo Yu was already outside the wall, and he couldn't see Xiao Zhen's expression of wanting to eat people, so he shook off the reins of the horse, beat the horse and ran in a small circle, and when he passed by the wall, Han Chong just jumped off the wall and landed firmly on the horse's back. The two have grown up from small to large, and they cooperate seamlessly.
Han Chong took the reins of the horse and shouted to the archers on the wall as if showing off: "The master is gone, no need to send it!" Then he rode away, and Mo Yu half leaned on him, and laughed with him, indescribably relaxed.
Xiao Zhen stepped up the stone steps in three or two steps, and just saw this scene, his anger almost burned his internal organs. Xiao Yu never showed such an expression when he was by his side.
The white fox scarf in his hand was obediently coiled around his arm, and the pointed mouth bit the tip of the tail, just coiled into a circle, lifelike, just like a real fox still alive. At this time, it has become a great irony.
On the table was the unfinished portrait of a small man, holding a white-haired fox, standing in the middle of the courtyard, with a slightly wide skirt covering his shoes, and a green silk draped over his shoulders. The mouth was slightly pursed, with a hint of anger, only the eyes had not yet been drawn. Although he had been looking at the ink rumors when he was painting, the painting was painted according to his imagination.
It's just the eyes...... This painting will never be finished.
Xiao pulled the scroll, with force in his hand, the scroll turned into countless fragments, floating to the ground: "There are still five days left, Xiaoyu, you didn't do what you promised me, so it's no wonder that I don't do it." ”
He summoned a group of Golden Eagle Guards and ordered, "Follow them." ”
The leader of the team cautiously asked: "Please give the general's orders, is it to arrest or ...... Shoot? ”
"Follow them until they return to Shouchun, and if there is an accident on the way, no matter what, make sure that the girl is safe and sound." Even if he was angry, Xiao Zhen was still reluctant to really do anything to Xiaoyu. Her injuries have not been completely healed, and if she is frightened and hides in Tibet, I am afraid that it will be serious again. When she returned to Shouchun, he went to find someone again, and this time, he would never let go when he got back.
Han Chong took the ink rumor and kept walking on the path, and at first a few days he carefully hid his tracks, for fear of being caught by Xiao Zhen's people. But later, he found that no one was chasing him, so he became bold and swaggered along the official road with ink rumors. When I met a hotel or inn on the way, it was natural to eat and stay in the hotel, which was not like running for my life at all, but like I was traveling.
"Hey, it's so comfortable, when I used to beg for food, I fantasized about having money in my pocket, going wherever I went, where I ate, but I didn't expect it to come true here." The Qin people are not as particular as the Chu people, and what they eat is either a big bowl of noodle soup or a whole pancake, which is more suitable for Han Chong's appetite.
Mo Yu thought that she had not been able to fulfill her promise to Xiao Zhen, and she felt faintly uneasy in her heart, she knew that Xiao Zhen was definitely not the humble gentleman who looked like she looked on the outside these days. If he is like, he is more like the mysterious killer with a mask. Fleeing this time, I don't know how angry he will be. Because of worry, I looked a little listless along the way.
Han Chong tore the cake open, soaked it in the broth, and pushed it in front of Mo Yu: "Xiao Zhen didn't embarrass you, right?" When Lao Tzu finds an opportunity in the future, he will definitely beat him up and make you angry. ”
"No, dog," Mo Yu couldn't eat a bite, "I told him that as long as I stayed for a month, he would let me go." The day you came, there were actually five days left until the month. ”
Han Chong was so shocked that he opened his mouth, and his rough heart suddenly realized that he might have done something wrong. But another strange emotion came up again, why did Xiao Zhen want to keep the little ballad for a month, he came to bring back the little ballad for Su Tiangongzi. He absolutely, absolutely did nothing wrong.
A short walk away is the border of Chu State, as long as you enter Chu State smoothly, you will have peace of mind. The token given by Su Tilt can be exchanged for money, grain, and horses at any post house.
The two of them put away their things and were about to continue on their way, when a little girl covered in dirt slipped over to the table where they had sit, picked up the half bowl of broth that Han Chong had eaten, and gulped it down. Han Chong just turned around and saw that the little girl was not tall, just like the ink rumor when he first met, black and thin, her facial features were covered by mud, and she could only see a pair of eyes.
Han Chong shook his head and smiled unconsciously, took out the silver from his pocket, and wanted to throw it to the little girl. About him was a little rougher, the little girl was so frightened that she retreated, sat on the ground, wiped her tears and said, "My lord's life, my lord's life, I am so hungry that I have nothing to eat for a few days." ”
The little girl actually had a strong Chu State accent, Han Chong and Mo Yu glanced at each other, and looked in the direction behind the little girl, and there were more than a dozen people in tattered clothes, supporting each other and sitting on the side of the road.
"Where are you from?" Han Chong was in a hurry, he even forgot to give the silver, his eyes narrowed, it was even more terrifying, and the little girl almost didn't dare to breathe.
Mo Yu took the silver in his hand and asked the store to fill a bowl of broth for everyone who fled, and watched them drink it before he slowly asked. The broth was down, and everyone's faces were a little angry, and then they gradually spoke. These dozen or so people are all from Windy City near Shouchun. They are still fast runners, and those who don't have time to run out will probably be trapped in the city, and life is better than death.
From the words of these people, the situation that was gradually pieced together surprised both Mo Yu and Han Chong. After Gongzihan ascended the throne, because he couldn't get the ancestral jade gui of the Chu royal family, some people were always unconvinced. Nursery rhymes began to circulate in Shouchun City, "If you don't see jade (Yu), it's hard to be called a king, the snow in the city is falling, and the room is full of frost (Xiang)". Someone explained in a way that only Gongzi Yu was the new king of Chu who was destined to return, and the bloody corpse sent back from Daiguo was not Gongzi Yu himself. Gongzi Yu had long expected that someone was going to murder him, so he arranged in advance to cover people's eyes and ears, and he had quietly escaped.
The person who wants to assassinate Gongzi Yu, everyone dare not say it openly, but they quietly think of Su Tian and the Empress Dowager Zhaoxiang from the nursery rhyme. It is no wonder that people have such speculation that the biggest beneficiaries of supporting the young son to ascend the throne are them, one is an important minister, and the other is the empress dowager, which can just empty the young lord and hold great power.
Ping'an Jun Yuanrong, the royal family member who stationed troops on the border, preemptively used this name to raise troops to attack Shouchun, and before arriving at Shouchun, he first besieged Fengcheng. Shouchun's rations are mainly supplied by Windy City, and surrounding Windy City is equivalent to choking Shouchun's throat.
"His grandmother's, the rabbit cub is in the mood for infighting," Han Chong jumped to his feet angrily, "At this time, if the people of the Qin State come to intervene again, I don't think anyone will have to fight for this throne." ”
Mo Yu frowned and didn't speak, Shouchun's city defense was actually very weak, and it had always relied on the advantage of geographical location. Shouchun City is in the central hinterland of the Chu State, and unless the enemy country captures most of the Chu State's land, Shouchun is always safe. But Ping'anjun did not attack Shouchun, but surrounded the Wind City, why is this?
"Little rumor, Lao Tzu can't get used to this kind of rabbit cub, let's take a detour to Lingxiao Pass, borrow soldiers to come out, and teach them a good lesson." Han Chong was so impulsive that the nine cows couldn't pull it back.
Mo Yu glanced at him: "Why did people lend it to you?" "I tried my best to recall the things that Su Qian had taught her, the military power of the Chu State was scattered, and the troops were also scattered and stationed in several different places. Remembering the experience of stealing the tiger talisman in Lingxiao Pass last time, Mo Yu connected this information all at once, he was waiting for the agreed allies.
But with so many garrisons, who would be Heian-kun's ally? Who can be trusted?
"Ah Dog, if General Huang is here, will he go to borrow troops?" Mo Yu asked casually.
"If Old General Huang is here, what else can he borrow," Han Chong couldn't suppress the admiration and pride from the bottom of his heart, "As long as you stand under Lingxiao Pass and make a appearance, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the brothers of Lingxiao Pass will follow the old general." ”
While telling himself to stabilize and not panic, Mo Yu thought quickly, since General Huang's cronies were all in Lingxiao Pass, the soldiers in Lingxiao Pass must be trustworthy. But Lingxiao Pass is so close to the Hangu Pass next to it, why do you never see them rushing to each other's aid? Even the last time Xiao Zhen was waiting for people to raid, General Huang Lao had to enter the battle formation in person, and he didn't expect to ask for help from Hangu Pass.
If you think about it step by step, the answer will be clear.
She poked Han Chong with her elbow: "How much money do you have on you?" ”
Han Chong pinched his fingers and calculated: "There are about a few hundred taels of silver." ”
Mo Yu almost swallowed his tongue: "You are really good, you buy a bag of sweat medicine, you can't even use a tael of silver, you cheated hundreds of taels of silver at once?!" You like you, you haven't become the richest man in the world, you can really only complain. ”
Now is not the time to talk about this, Mo Yu thought for a while: "The silver is about the same, and the matter needs the help of the people in the post house, the two of us will go to relieve the siege of Windy City." ”
"Me and you?" Han Chong pointed to his nose exaggeratedly, "Xiaoyu, you can worship me, but don't worship too much unrealistically." How could the two of us do that? ”
Mo Yu glanced at him: "It's less smelly and beautiful, and if you want to worship it, you also worship yourself." She hooked her fingers and asked Han Chong to come closer: "Do you remember?" Once the two of us took two steamed buns in someone else's ancestral ancestral hall, and then ran away to the backyard to eat. Just in time, the family invited a shadow puppet troupe to perform, and the play they performed happened to be a clever plan. Our steamed buns can't be eaten in vain, and the play can't be watched in vain, so we'll use it this time. ”
Han Chonghu looked at Mo Yu suspiciously: "Can it work?" The drama is all made up. ”
"Almost," Mo Yu smirked smugly and sly, "you've fought, and the details will be left to you." Actually, we don't really want to relieve the siege of Windy City, as long as we bring people who can break the siege over, this thing will be done. ”
