Chapter 166: The Scapegoat
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Great Jin Official Maiden!
I heard that Wei Ziying, who has a withdrawn personality, trusts this "military advisor" very much, and it can be seen from the fact that he is inseparable from the middle-aged Confucian every day, and he also calls the middle-aged Confucian "teacher".
And the "teacher" didn't show up all day, Wei Ziying was actually anxious for a long time, but he didn't dare to let people look for it, because on the cusp, he was afraid that the middle-aged Confucian would also be beaten as a "deserter", which he didn't want to see and believe.
But the red waist did this "good guy".
"We have something to discuss with the military advisor, but when we went to the tent, we found that there was no one, I wonder if Your Highness knows where the person has gone?"
Wei Ziying staggered to the tent in a wheelchair, looking at the empty tent, his eyes were stunned, his face was full of confusion, and he was much more depressed than when he saw the deserter yesterday.
Someone said sharply: "We didn't find out that the military division was missing, why did you find out?" Maybe it has something to do with you, you thieves shouting to catch thieves. ”
Redwaist shot back unhurriedly: "Because you were all busy running away yesterday, of course you can't find out." ”
The soldier's face was swollen to the color of pork liver, and he looked like he was about to swallow his red waist.
Red Waist deliberately didn't say anything about the secret way, she wanted to see the reaction of Wei Ziying and this group of soldiers in the army, but this group of people was all insensitive, and Wei Ziying looked half-dead.
Wei Ziying muttered: "I treat him well, why did he escape?" ”
It seems that the fact is that at present, the "Three Highnesses" finally no longer make excuses. It seems that he doesn't even know about the middle-aged Confucian scholar carrying him and the old King Wei's "correspondence", but there is some genuine sadness in his expression and voice.
A prince and a coach can be so confused. Redwaist shook his head.
Just when she had to turn her eyes to the Nine Kings, she found that the Nine Kings were also staring at Wei Ziying thoughtfully, with some deep meaning in her eyes.
"Did any of you find a military advisor among those who escaped yesterday?" I don't know who asked.
But everyone didn't say anything, either embarrassed or embarrassed, because everyone was running away with their heads bored, and the farther they wanted to run, the better, and who still paid attention to who was around.
I don't know what this middle-aged Confucian has done in normal times, the attitude of the whole army towards him is also ambiguous, biased towards indifference, at this time, who cares about the life and death of others, it seems that even Wei Ziying's life and death are no longer important.
The Nine Kings said quietly: "Why did the Third Highness choose this person as your military advisor?" "A man with no military talents.
Wei Ziying's eyes were full of sorrow: "He used to be the head of the guard in the palace, and when I left the palace, he invited me into the camp." ”
At that time, Wei Ziying, who was betrayed and divorced, was willing to take the initiative to follow him to this side, his first reaction was not suspicion, I am afraid that he still felt that person was loyal. Compared to those deserters, he seemed to feel that the military advisor who accompanied him was completely trustworthy. But reality slapped him in the face.
The Nine Kings asked the Red Waist: "You said that you found a letter addressed to the King of Wei on his desk before?" ”
Redwaist nodded: "It's true." ”
And the wording on it can not be said to be "loyal" to Wei Ziying, this military advisor is obviously very skillful in both sides and three knives, and he coaxed both King Wei and Wei Ziying around.
The Nine Kings asked, "Are there carrier pigeons in the camp?" ”
The soldier immediately said: "Yes, there are three in the pigeon house, and two of them were shot dead when passing the news some time ago, and only one remains." ”
There are at least a dozen carrier pigeons in the pigeon house in the ordinary barracks for war, but there are only three here, and two have died, and now they are trapped here.
A moment later, the pigeon from the loft came to report that the last pigeon had disappeared last night.
The Nine Kings said, "Send someone to search the place where you fled yesterday to find the last carrier pigeon." ”
A soldier's face turned pale: "The prince is saying that the toxin can't even escape the pigeons in the pigeon cage?" ”
The Nine Kings squinted and smiled: "I'll know soon." ”
Now that the military advisor is not there, Wei Ziying is unreliable, and the words of the Nine Kings have consciously become the backbone of these six gods and masterless people.
The Nine Kings took out an elixir from the box that was very similar to the one on the red waist and said, "I have three blood-dissolving pills here, those who are willing to go can take them, and temporarily seal your bone-turning poison." ”
Excitement appeared on the faces of those soldiers, and they almost didn't hesitate to take the pill from the hands of the Nine Kings and rushed to take it.
The white-faced coachman said coldly: "There are toxins in the air on all sides, how can the three of them search?" ”
The Nine Kings said: "Search along the east side first, and the east side is the direction of the Wei Palace. ”
Pigeons are not human beings and do not make roundabouts, they will only take the nearest route.
The three soldiers immediately obeyed the order to search for carrier pigeons along the eastern side, and the red waist looked at him: "Why didn't the prince let them search for that military division by the way?" ”
Now in this situation, it is necessary to see people alive and dead to see corpses, and if the whereabouts of the military advisor are unknown, it will make people panic.
Because it would make people feel that he ran away.
And the Nine Kings said that no one is immune to these toxins, so how did the military division escape. Does it have anything to do with that secret passage?
The Nine Kings said: "As long as there is air, the secret passage is not safe, and if you walk through the secret passage, you will be poisoned and die." ”
So the Nine Kings never thought that the military advisor would still be alive in the first place? The red waist was frightened.
In the evening, the three soldiers returned, and two of them fainted when they returned to the camp, and the remaining one suppressed his disdain and said, "When they arrived at the border, they found that the prince's elixir was effective, so they tried to escape, and sure enough, they rolled back not far away." ”
The soldier attempted to take credit and handed a wrapped cloth bag to the Nine Kings.
The white-faced coachman stepped forward and picked up the cloth bag with a knife, and in an instant the red waist held back the discomfort, it was a pigeon with only a skeleton left.
The pigeon was found three miles away from the edge, and the pigeon did not know such a thing as toxin, only to fly forward with all its strength, until it was eroded by the bone poison, and then fell from the air.
With the spikes of the fan, the Nine Kings picked up a bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, which was specially refined to convey the message, and it was still intact at the moment.
The Nine Kings took out the letter from it, unfolded it and looked at it, and the corners of their mouths hooked.
"I think it's better to give this letter to the Third Highness to read." He threw the silk cloth in his hand to the soldier.
The soldiers nodded again and again, holding the letter and running all the way to Wei Ziying's tent.
Because he had read half of the content before, Red Waist was not very curious at the moment, so he pouted and said: "King Wei has escaped from the palace, even if this letter can be sent, who can it be given to?" ”
Do you still expect the King of Wei to be distracted from the changes in Yanbei Pass on the way to escape? If he could do this, he would not let the Wei State fall to such a point in his hands.
And the Nine Kings don't seem to have any curiosity about the secret way, and they don't even seem to have paid attention to it.
I don't know what Wei Ziying's reaction was after seeing the letter, but the originally withdrawn and eccentric person didn't come out of the tent all day, and he found that the military advisor he trusted day and night turned out to be a "monitor" sent by his father, and if he was originally withdrawn, his temperament would only be more gloomy.
Someone said with a blank face: "So it was the military advisor who betrayed us?" ”
Wei Ziying has a close relationship with this military advisor, Wei Ziying has no achievements, not to mention, now that the military advisors have done such things, the hearts of this group of soldiers are only more disheartened.
In the middle of the night, Redwaist noticed a group of demon-like faces gathered outside the tent, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was the soldiers during the day.
It's just that they all have a frustrated look on their faces, as if they are going to die.
The red waist walked against the tent and walked to the Nine Kings: "Lord Wang, what is this for?" ”
The Nine Kings looked at it: "Those hundred dead soldiers." ”
The first batch of people who went to the fortress to block the Jin army, the red waist had relatives in his heart, and said to the nine kings: "If they die halfway, will we give up halfway?" ”
The Nine Kings were careless: "That's fate." ”
Eyes swept over, among this group of people, there were three people who had taken hemolytic pills before, especially the person who found the pigeon to invite merit to the nine kings, and his face seemed to be much more relaxed than the others.
The Nine Kings squinted, "You, be the vanguard of this assault." ”
The man was named, and he couldn't say whether he was flattered or what, and immediately nodded and said, "My subordinates have taken orders." ”
Red Waist knew what that hemolytic pill was, it was also refined with blood Gu, and she felt a little sick to her stomach.
But still suppressing that feeling, these people are going to leave in the middle of the night, which means that under the cover of night, they can avoid the spies of the Jin army, but at the same time, it means that if they don't leave, they will have no chance.
Even at this time, Wei Ziying was still pretending to be dead.
But no one cared about him anymore, the person who had just been named the vanguard by the Nine Kings took the lead and marched towards the location with a hundred dead soldiers, and they also tried to avoid making a sound at night, once they faced the Jin army, it would be a fierce battle.
This military camp seems to have become the Nine Kings'.
Seem.
The barracks of a hundred dead soldiers seemed to be empty, but in fact, there were nearly 5,000 living people left, who could feel it.
The Nine Kings said lightly: "Let's go to the commander's tent to have a look." ”
The red-waisted and white-faced coachman followed the nine kings in, and Wei Ziying was not there anyone in the middle of the night, so he sat in a wheelchair and faced the candle flame in a daze.
looks like he has nothing to love.
The Nine Kings looked at him, and there was always a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Highness, what's the matter, the Jin army has not yet come in, and it is already disheartened?" ”
The group of soldiers outside was disheartened, and the commander was also half dead, in fact, this camp could directly plant a flag, disarm and surrender.
Wei Ziying's numb expression raised up, looked at Jiuwang and said, "Brother is here to see my jokes." ”
Redwaist thinks that this person has always been quite funny, thinking of his appearance when he first came to the barracks, at that time there was still a little prince majesty, and now there is nothing left.
It turns out that it is the same for everyone to rebel and leave their relatives.
The Nine Kings looked at this tent and smiled slowly: "Now that everything that should be deployed is almost deployed, His Highness plans to stay here all the time?" ”
But it seems that Wei Ziying really doesn't care about anything, and lowers his head and says: "Everything is presided over by my brother, and the foolish brother is naturally relieved." ”
If there hadn't been anything before about wanting to set up the Nine Kings and let the Nine Kings serve as a staff member, this could have been more sincere.
The Nine Kings looked at him and said, "Is it, His Highness has been secretly planning for so long, and he has successfully introduced a military advisor as a scapegoat, so he is willing to stop?" “
