Chapter 208: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet but the Wind Doesn't Stop
Remember: Novel 20丨6 Website: ом so as not to lose it
The war, which had lasted for more than two months, had begun abruptly and ended so abruptly that the countries that had seen the right time to join in did not react.
However, thinking that Su Guo's attitude was also there, it seemed that it was not difficult to understand that the Mongolian State would withdraw its troops so quickly, although it still felt that it was not the same as the previous style of Mongolia.
It's just that since the war can't be fought, then they have no excuse to cooperate with Wei, and they have to find a way to contact Wei again.
Bai Tang returned to the imperial city with the army first, and Wei Jiuli still needed to wait for the envoys to arrive there, and it would take at least a month or so to return to the imperial city.
However, only the old general of Shuoyangguan and his party were recalled to the imperial city, and the rest of the princes received orders to continue to guard and deal with the follow-up, Wei Jiuli was also allowed to go back because he had to escort the envoys to the imperial city.
It's just that other people think differently.
The other princes were all left behind, but the monarch not only let the Nine Emperors be responsible for escorting the envoys, which is a good thing that is easy to increase his prestige, but also the only prince who can return to the border pass, is it possible that the monarch is actually deliberately looking for an excuse to separate the other sons, and then start cultivating power for the nine sons.
Such speculations can't be suppressed together, and many people are a little uneasy.
In the palace of the lord of Gulin Pass, a servant carefully led a man with a black cloak and hood to walk down the corridor.
The man's head was covered by a broad hood, revealing only pursed lips, probably from the bitter cold of the border, and his lips were somewhat dry and tattered.
The subordinate cautiously led the person to a room, knocked on the vermilion wooden door gently, announced, and when the inside allowed, he gently pushed the door open, and then bowed down and waved his hand to make a gesture to invite in.
The cloaked man walked in without saying a word.
When the person walked in, the servant quickly raised his hand to pull the door shut, and then stood three meters away from the door, standing still.
Inside, a faint scent of ambergris fills the room, and there is a gentle sound of porcelain touching in the silence.
The cloaked man lifted the drape-like curtain and walked into the study.
There were only two people in the study, one of them sat behind the desk, holding the tea cup in one hand and the lid in the other, blowing gently, and then taking a sip.
The other man stood on one side and served.
"The Sixth Emperor Brother is relieved." The cloaked man lifted his hood and sneered at the man who was still drinking tea.
The person sitting upright sipping tea, that is, the Sixth Prince, only gently put down the teacup when he heard the words, and then looked up at the cloaked man, and then hooked the corners of his mouth, as if with a teasing smile, "Why haven't the Fifth Emperor Brothers gone to Shuoyangguan to take up their posts?" Isn't it halfway back? This is a rebellion. ”
In the monarch's will, the arrangement for the other sons was very simple, except for Lao Jiu to escort the envoys back to the imperial city, the remaining three, the sixth prince who was originally in Shuoyang Pass was transferred to Gulin Pass of the fifth prince, and the seventh prince who was in charge of Luping City was transferred to Xunling Town to take over, deal with the follow-up, and take over the work of the Minnan Prefecture Army.
Yu Qian, the third son of the old general, was transferred to Luping City to assist General Guan Ju in guarding the city.
The meaning of this method is very clear, that is, it is to ask the sons to start over, and it also disrupts the power and prestige they have cultivated in the city they defended before, which also has the meaning of warning, so that they can guard the border with peace of mind, and don't engage in some things that they don't have.
Several people knew the deep meaning of their father, and immediately understood that there were people with their father in the city where they were before, and they also knew all their circumstances.
Although they didn't dare, but under the weakness of their hearts, several people didn't dare to be dissatisfied, and they all obeyed the arrangement.
But I obeyed on the surface, but I don't know what happened in private.
For example, the fifth prince obviously left Gulin Pass with people after handing over to the sixth prince on the same day and went to Shuoyang Pass, but he appeared here again within two days, which means that his departure was just a cover.
"The father's arrangement this time is really partial, I'm afraid it really is in the Nine Emperor Brothers, is the Sixth Emperor Brother really willing?" The fifth prince's face was a little unsightly, and his voice was cold with a dead chill.
The sixth prince raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then leaned back, clasped his hands together to make a peasant figure, squinted at the five princes, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu Huang said carefully, how the father and the emperor arrange it has its own intentions, whether it is for the son or the minister, he is free to obey." ”
Seeing that he was still playing an official tone, the fifth prince's face was even more ugly, and then he smiled and said, "I really don't know that the sixth emperor brother is really so lenient, so let's take a trip for my brother today and say goodbye." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
"Wait." The sixth prince stopped him, then stood up and walked down the table.
The Fifth Emperor snorted coldly, turned to look at him, and said, "Is there anything else with the Sixth Emperor Brother?" ”
The sixth prince showed eight teeth and said with a smile, "It's not too early, it's rare for the five emperor brothers to come to the door, how can the courtiers not be the landlord, and please ask the five emperor brothers to stay for dinner, our brothers can have a good night talk, how about it?" ”
The fifth prince squinted slightly, looked at the person opposite coldly, frowned slightly, thought about it, and nodded, "A few people are like this, then the brother will not be invited by the sixth emperor brother." ”
"Hehe, the Fifth Emperor Brother is polite, please." The sixth prince smiled and made a gesture of please.
On the wide official road, the long army finally stopped.
The leading officer looked up at the sky, and had to wait for the news that the scout had come back to report, sighed, and when he got the horse to the carriage of the general Zhenguo, he reported the matter, and made suggestions, and after receiving the affirmation, he began to inform the other officers, and then began to arrange for the soldiers to be transferred to the small valley next to them and set up camp for a while.
This place is relatively desolate, there is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, and you can only rest on the spot.
The carriage was parked, the old general of Zhenguo got out of the carriage, and Bai Tang, Lou Qingqing, Wei Tong and others in the other two carriages also came down one after another.
"The scenery here is not bad, I don't know if there is any prey in the small forest over there, why don't we go and catch some game to add food, eat steamed buns and dried meat every day, I have to dry up." Lou Qingqing stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, and then said to Weitong or Bai Tang with an expectant expression.
After all, Bai Tang's identity can't be exposed yet, so he can only use Weitong to cover up.
Wei Tong hesitated, there was a lot of this kind of thing he could do, and he looked at the old general.
The old general naturally heard it, and immediately laughed, saying that you girl is really idle, and she always wants to fly everywhere like a bird.
After two months of getting along, the old general and Lou Qingqing are also old acquaintances, and the relationship is not bad, he even regrets that he doesn't have many sons, otherwise he can turn Lou Qingqing into a daughter-in-law.
This idea coincides with the old general's wife who wants to turn Bai Tang into a daughter-in-law.
"It's okay to go, but you can't run far, it's limited to a stick of incense." The old general said helplessly to Lou Qingqing, who was grimacing.
It looks like a grandfather who is pampering his granddaughter.
Lou Qingqing immediately smiled, responded again and again, and then pulled Bai Tang and Weitong to go together.
The old general also ordered a few soldiers to come with him to help.
The grove is on the left side of the valley, separated by a small fork, and the trees in it are all conifers, but the grass on the ground is covered with thick vegetation.
Bai Tang scanned it with the system, and found no harmful animals, snakes, and insects, so he didn't speak.
Wei Tong walked in front, holding a long sword in his hand, using the scabbard to pluck the vegetation, walking cautiously, paying attention to Lou Qingqing and Bai Tang behind him.
The few soldiers who were arranged behind also watched vigilantly around, staring at Wei Tong and Lou Qingqing in front, one of these two is the superintendent appointed by the monarch, and the other is a very important doctor who has made great contributions this time, and there must be no mistakes.
If they knew that the one they ignored as an acolyte was the most important thing, they didn't know how they would be nervous.
There are indeed prey in the small forest, but they are all small herbivores, or some small carnivores, and there are no prey.
Of course, there may also be a beast in the innermost, but because of the advice of the Sattel, they did not go inside, only grabbed two robes, a few hares and a few pheasants, and on the way back, they also caught a non-venomous snake with thick arms.
If it weren't for the fact that a few people couldn't take so much, and time didn't allow, Lou Qingqing still wanted to continue.
The makeshift camp had been cleaned up and the tents had been set up, a little cramped as the place was smaller, but it was also more lively.
Bonfires were lit on the ground, and pots with water were erected.
Several men handed over their prey and left it to the leader, and soon the camp began to smell of meat.
Lou Qingqing sat by the fire, and after the most tender part of the prey was placed on the leaves and sent to Bai Tang's hands, he was very heroic and held the chicken leg in one hand and the water bladder in the other hand to eat, and asked the old general when he would return to the imperial city while eating.
The old general was using a dagger to cut the steamed buns that had been roasted into slices, and then picked up the tender meat sent by Bai Tang and put it in, sprinkled with chili powder and meat sauce and started eating, and when he heard the words, he chewed and said vaguely, "At least five more days away, rest assured, when you cross this mountain forest, you can find a post house to rest along the way." ”
The old general thought that she couldn't stand staying in the barren mountains and mountains, so he explained, after all, Lou Qingqing and Bai Tang were both women, although they were not delicate and could not endure hardships, but they were estimated to be unable to adapt to the hardships of the march for the time being.
"Great, then I'll be able to see the little ones soon." Lou Qingqing was very happy.
Of course, it's not because she doesn't like to stay in the barren mountains and mountains, as a Jianghu person, although she didn't have the opportunity to go out before, but it's not that she hasn't gone out, Jianghu people often use the sky as a bed, it's nothing, she is just a pure itch.
The old general only thought that she was talking about pets, so he smiled kindly and didn't ask.
Probably only Bai Tang knows that the little baby in her mouth is a bunch of poisons and test subjects.
When she came to the border pass, in order to avoid causing any trouble, she didn't dare to bring anything, and when her hands were itchy, she grabbed a worm and wanted to dissect it, but she was also scared that the woman who slept with her screamed again and again, and she was not good at sneaking around, for fear of being regarded as a spy, so in the end she could only endure it all the time.
The old general also had some questions to ask Bai Tang, but due to environmental problems, he didn't say anything in the end.
After everyone finished eating, except for Lou Qingqing, who chatted with the old general for a few words, they went back to the tent.
Because Bai Tang also dresses up as a man and serves as a guard of Weitong, he is arranged in Weitong's tent.
Naturally, Weitong didn't dare to sleep in a tent with her, so he used the excuse of vigil to sleep against the trunk of a tree.
In the middle of the night, the wind rose in the valley and blew the tents into the hunt.
The bonfire was also extinguished, and the flames were picked by the wind and fluttered around and quickly extinguished, like falling stars, and the sound of leaves fluttering around it.
This situation is also used to everyone, so they don't pay much attention to it.
In the night, several figures were like owls coming out to hunt in the night, shuttling lightly among the canopies. Inside the tent, Bai Tang, who was lying sideways and sleeping with his arms on his pillow, suddenly opened his eyes, and then sat up.
She frowned slightly, carefully probed the situation outside, but found nothing, thought about it, or opened the system to scan.
The map presented after scanning does not show red names or signs belonging to wild beasts, poisonous insects, etc.
But she also believes in her own feelings, and that sense of crisis can't be wrong.
She lifted the blanket on her body and straightened her clothes, but instead of going out, she sat cross-legged in the tent and carefully sensed everything around her with her mental power.
But everything is still business as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.
She frowned, as if she was a little uncertain, and then got up to go out to see what was going on.
As a result, when she reached out to open the tent curtain, she heard some movement.
She immediately turned to the system map, and then saw that there were several blue dots scattered on the map.
Personnel will also be arranged to keep vigil and patrol upwards, but patrols generally require at least eight people in a team, and if you keep vigil, you will not move without permission unless you hand over.
But the dots are scattered and constantly moving, as if they are looking for something.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, then retracted her breath and lifted the curtain to walk out.
Satcom kept vigil by the trunk of a tree near her tent, but seemed to be a little asleep and did not wake up.
According to the position of the blue dot shown in the system, Bai Tang approached one by one, and then solved it quietly.
After everyone was settled, she came back, woke up Weitong, told him the situation, asked him to find someone to deal with it first, and then sent someone to inform the old general.
When the old general learned of the situation, the dozen or so people had already been tied up and were still unconscious.
After the old general ordered them to be woken up with water, the trial was immediately opened.
Unexpectedly, after discovering that they had become prisoners, these dozen people wanted to commit suicide, but after discovering that the poison sac hidden in their mouths had also been taken away, they wanted to bite their tongues and commit suicide.
However, their movements were watched by the old general, and he ordered their chins to be removed.
Bai Tang wanted to hypnotize them, but she found that these people had also been trained in anti-hypnosis, ordinary hypnosis did not work, but deep hypnosis would have some sequelae on her.
is still on the way, and she also needs to ensure her strength, so she didn't take the initiative to speak.
The old general seemed to see something, frowned and thought for a while, then waved his hand and asked people to lock up these people first, escort them back to the imperial city together, and then try them well.
