Chapter 107: Crisis hits

King Qi is rich and rivals the country, but I originally thought it was like that.

But it wasn't until the baggage was actually delivered that Jiang Mengyun finally understood that this statement was not exaggerated at all, but it was just an expression of seeking truth from facts.

By the time the wagons arrived the supplies, almost the entire streets of Binzhou City were filled.

The county magistrate smiled, and deliberately packed up more than a dozen empty houses for stockpiling.

While he was busy, with his hands in his cuffs, he couldn't help but put on a relieved look of the old master: "I didn't think about it, this battle was fought under the city gate, and we not only didn't lack food, but we had a lot of fish and meat every day." ”

He subconsciously licked his lips and reminisced about the roast whole sheep he had just eaten yesterday.

King Qi and his wife were generous and stole ...... No, the people were cheaper when they robbed the grain, and the people were full of food and drink, and they became generous.

Several families raised sheep, and yesterday they slaughtered several and roasted them.

Although there were too many people to eat, he only grabbed a roast leg of lamb, but what he ate in this atmosphere was very different from before.

The sense of satisfaction and happiness is beyond words.

After eating well in the past two days, the old county order's cheeks, which had been shriveled down, were full.

Looking at it from a distance, there is some oil, if the life continues like this, it is okay for him to fight for the rest of his life.

As long as King Qi and his wife don't leave.

Watching with satisfaction that the empty houses were gradually filled with grain, and there were many thick quilts one after another, the old county commander touched his gray beard, nodded and said to the entourage beside him: "Let's go, go and see the two highnesses." ”

The entourage was stunned for a moment before saying: "The two highnesses are not in the palace, I heard that they are going to the city wall, they have found a lot of craftsmen with a lot of money, and it seems that they are preparing to repair the city." ”

"Repair the city?" The old county commander frowned at first, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Then you are preparing to stay in Binzhou City?" ”

The retinue was not so sure: "Not necessarily, maybe it's just to prevent the other party's army from attacking?" ”

The old county commander shook his head, didn't say a word, and led him out in a hurry.

So much baggage was transported in such a quick time, Jiang Mengyun glanced at the craftsman who was revising the drawings of the city wall, and chatted with Mo Ziqi while walking: "How could things be delivered so quickly?" ”

Very fast indeed.

Or maybe Mo Ziqi had already made arrangements in private, but she didn't know it, anyway, it was only two days after she asked that day, and the things were sent to the city.

Mo Ziqi smiled, it was rare that she couldn't guess.

"You don't know?" There was a light in his eyes, and he actually showed a playful look, "Madame also doesn't know about it." ”

Jiang Mengyun glanced at him: "I'm not omnipotent, but I can guess." ”

Mo Ziqi raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Jiang Mengyun said: "The first possibility, from the time you left Beijing to march to Liaozhou, you had already secretly arranged for the people of the palace to prepare for the baggage, from the beginning, you never believed Lord Qin. ”

Seeing that Mo Ziqi was silent, she said again: "There is a second possibility, that is, His Royal Highness King Qi is really rich and rivals the country, and he is rich enough to buy things at a high price, and he directly bought them in the nearest town." ”

She stopped and looked up at him, "Which one?" ”

Mo Ziqi was silent.

Jiang Mengyun said again: "I guess it's the second type, after all, at the beginning, we all thought that although some people wanted to kill us, they wouldn't really joke about military affairs. But who would have thought that they were much more daring than we thought, right? ”

Mozi Qipi pinched her cheek with a smile.

She was so painful that she quickly raised her hand and slapped his arm away, and tilted her head to him: "Right, why don't you speak?" ”

"I'm done with you, what else do you want me to say?" Mo Ziqi pushed her head aside angrily, and then asked again, "Next, what do you want to do?" ”

The baggage in the capital was delayed, and Qin Haifeng, who was in charge of transporting supplies, made a bunch of excuses.

After a while, he said that the weather was bad and the snowy road was blocked, and then after walking all the way, he said that it was raining heavily, and many of the baggage was stuffed into the mud and could not be made, so some of them simply fell down the mountain.

Later, I heard that I finally scattered to Liaozhou, put down some of the supplies, and on the way to Binzhou, I encountered robbers.

The robbers robbed the things and killed the officers and soldiers who were escorting them.

When the news came back to Beijing, Emperor Liang was furious, first reprimanded Qin Haifeng, and then ordered people to search for robbers all over the mountain, and asked people to re-prepare the baggage needed by the army.

After so many days, the robbers did not find it, but the treasury became nervous because of this.

I heard that now it is ready and prepared, and it is only enough for a month's ration for an army of 100,000.

Qin Haifeng didn't want to send things at all, if it weren't for Xu Yuan's still in Liaozhou, he was afraid that half of the baggage on the Liaozhou side might not be able to arrive smoothly.

Jiang Mengyun frowned slightly: "This time, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." ”

"How?" Mo Ziqi slowly stopped.

It was the first time he had seen such an expression on her face.

Since we met again in Daliang, no matter when, no matter what happens, she will always be strategic, confident, no matter what kind of difficulties, she can always plan and move, anticipating the enemy like a god.

When dealing with Cui Shi'an, she almost had a plan to deal with Chang Ziqing, and she only praised the other party a few words, saying that it was not easy to deal with, but it was never like now.

Say "it's not easy to do".

Craftsmen from afar have begun to gather together, taking their drawings together and preparing to negotiate the best solution.

There was no one else around.

Jiang Mengyun said: "It's been so long, but in order to lure the snake out of the hole, now that Cui Shi'an has returned to Beijing after defeat, Chang Ziqing is about to be unable to hold on, and the person behind Ning Guo will definitely not be able to sit still." ”

She said: "I'm in the open, the enemy is in the dark, this is something that can't be prevented, which is why I want to be temporarily stationed in Binzhou, Liaozhou is the territory of the second prince after all, and we can't get into it anyway." ”

"But the big river in front of Binzhou here has been cleared by Chang Zi, and that side has become their territory, and it is easy for the Ning army to reinforce and attack Binzhou City."

"As for the ...... of Liaozhou"

Mo Ziqi glanced at her: "Do you think Liaozhou will be lost?" ”

Jiang Mengyun didn't speak again.

How can it be?

Leaving Xu Yuan and them in Liaozhou before, firstly, because they didn't trust them, it was not easy to act with them, and secondly, because even if they had other thoughts, it would never be possible to give up this important city to others!

Do they really dare to ......

Mo Ziqi felt incredible in his heart, but soon thought that if the other party dared not even deliver the baggage, what was the impossibility of selling a city to the other party?

Jiang Mengyun had already muttered: "What's more, if the person behind it is forced to be in a hurry, it is certain that he will bite back." This revenge, I'm afraid the action is very amazing. ”

The two looked at each other, then turned their heads again, silently watching the craftsmen get busy.

This is a dangerous move, but if it is not broken, it is not dangerous, and if it does not really provoke the other party to fight back, they will never find the person behind the back.

The old county commander rushed over with someone to look at the situation for a while, and praised King Qi and his wife again for a while, and looked at the sun and said happily: "It's a good day, it's raining for a few days." ”

Jiang Mengyun raised his head.

In the blue sky, there are white clouds, and the sun hangs high in the sky, and some sunlight is sprinkled weakly, and it is sunning on people, and they can't even detect a trace of warmth.

Binzhou City, which is rarely seen in the sun, still seems to be shrouded in a fog.

The mansion is now also full of baggage, but the camp by the city wall has expanded a lot, and now Jiang Mengyun and Mo Ziqi have also moved here.

As soon as the cadres returned to the camp, soldiers came over and served hot tea.

The old county commander is now wide-hearted and fat, and the whole person is full of fighting spirit, so he was busy on the baggage side for a long time, and then slapped a sycophant at King Qi and his wife, and his mouth was already dry.

As soon as I saw the hot tea coming up, I immediately looked up to the sky and drank it: "Good tea!" ”

He exclaimed: "Come on, come on, come again!" ”

The soldier responded, and hurriedly stepped forward to pour it again, and the old county commander drank it all again, and became happy: "Okay, don't bother you, the official will come by himself, you can put the teapot here." ”

"Yes." The soldier had no choice but to respond, put the teapot on the table a little stiffly, and was just about to turn around and retreat, Jiang Mengyun suddenly felt that something was not right, and suddenly shouted: "Wait." ”

"Huh?" The soldier paused for a moment, then turned back after a moment, not quite sure, "Your Highness called me?" ”

Jiang Mengyun squinted and looked at him carefully: "You are a little blind, which battalion are you from?" What about the bookkeeper? ”

Although the waiter has now become a deputy general, Mo Ziqi and Jiang Mengyun's diet is still handled by him, and he usually comes to serve tea in person, but today he suddenly changed people.

She couldn't help but be vigilant.

The soldier raised his eyes slightly, but he didn't look directly into Jiang Mengyun's eyes: "Your Highness, the general of the servant went outside to inspect and took care of the small one, if the two highnesses come back, I will serve you two tea first." The small one is in the Xiao Cavalry Camp, and His Royal Highness may not have seen it much. ”

"It's an eye." Jiang Mengyun glanced at him again, lowered his head, and blew the tea in his hand, "There are a few soldiers, the eyes are normal, don't you mind." ”

The soldier hurriedly clenched his fists respectfully: "Your Highness is laughing, how can the little one mind?" ”

"Really?" Jiang Mengyun hooked his lips, and suddenly picked up the tea cup in his hand and walked to him, "What's your name?" This time it's mine, no, this tea will be used as an atonement. ”

"The princess is really joking, how dare this little one?" The soldier subconsciously took a step back.

Jiang Mengyun smiled and took a step forward: "Don't you dare? ”

Mo Ziqi was beside him, and the tea that was about to be eaten stopped instantly.

He slowly stood up and looked at the two men in front of him steadily.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion? How could it be that the waiter had a soldier from the cavalry battalion come and serve them tea, or someone he had never seen before?

As soon as Jiang Mengyun's words fell, before the soldier could react, Mo Ziqi had already moved, slammed into him, and grabbed his neck.

His face turned cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Who are you?" ”

The other party struggled for a while, and was just about to speak, when the old county commander on the side suddenly held his stomach and screamed, rolling wildly on the ground: "It hurts, it hurts, something, it's ......"

There was no sound.

Jiang Mengyun turned his head to look, and the old county commander, who was still smiling just now, was lying on the ground with a hideous face at the moment, black blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were round.

She stepped forward to hold the other party's pulse, looked up at the soldier, and hurriedly called: "Pinch his mouth, he wants to kill himself!" ”

Mo Ziqi reacted very quickly, and as soon as the man's mouth moved, he grabbed him, broke his mouth and fiercely detained the poison he hid between his teeth: "Forced to be anxious?" ”

He rarely showed a sneer, and the whole person suddenly exuded a thick killing intent: "Finally jumped out, it's good, haven't you waited for a long time?" ”

Mo Ziqi was already wearing a black dress today, but his face was cold at the moment, and he looked more and more like a Shura from the dark night.

Jiang Mengyun had never seen him like this, and his heartbeat subconsciously missed a beat.

But now is obviously not the time to care about these things, he pressed the person and found a hemp rope to tie him up, and after a while, the waiter came in with his head touched, and when he saw Mo Ziqi, he was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, are you here?" ”

"How?" Mo Ziqi's face was expressionless, "Shouldn't this king be here?" ”

"No...... the waiter had already noticed that something was wrong, and looked at one lying on the ground, tied up one, and was even more surprised, "This ......"

"Find Xu Yacheng," Mo Ziqi didn't ask him too much, but only ordered, "Interrogate this person well and see who made him poison." Also, let people bring the old county order back and bury it. ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted.

"Yes," he replied, but soon remembered that something was wrong, "but General Xu went out early in the morning, and he didn't know where he went, and his subordinates never saw it." ”

At this time, not only Mo Ziqi's face changed, but Jiang Mengyun also stood up suddenly: "Send someone to find ......"

Suddenly, she added, "No, it's not. Let's talk about what happened before. ”

I didn't ask before, because she could probably guess that it was nothing more than the other party's move to divert the tiger from the mountain, probably to lie to the waiter first, saying that they were in other places, and as soon as the waiter left, they happened to turn back, and both sides missed it perfectly.

This is not unusual, but now the problem seems to be more complicated.

Xu Yacheng is gone.

Why?

How so?

Now everyone knows that the right-hand men of King Qi and his wife are Shishu and Xu Yacheng.

The servant was brought from the palace of Prince Li by King Qi, and Xu Yacheng had always admired Mo Ziqi when he was in the capital and regarded him as a role model.

The two of them are loyal.

Shishu is strong in martial arts, although Xu Yacheng's martial arts are not very good, his brain is quite flexible, and his mouth is unforgiving, and sometimes a few words can make the enemy so angry that he foams at the mouth.

It can also be regarded as a talent.

The waiter was deceived out, but it was just to facilitate them to attack King Qi and his wife, Xu Yacheng disappeared, and why? Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Middleman Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
