Chapter 59: Cracking the Formation
Obviously, he seemed to be among the three princes, Di Yue's expression became a little embarrassed, but the three princes were unintentional after all, his eyes did not stay on Di Yue's body, but searched for Qi Lian's figure in the surroundings with his eyes.
"Oh! Qi guards, he suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain just now, so he asked me to help watch it for a while, and he will be back soon. ”
After all, the three princes and the secret guard must be discussing important matters, and the content of the topic must be confidential, and at this time, it was found that Qi Lian was derelict in his duties as a guard, this matter can be big or small, if the third prince is rigorous, it may make Qi Lian's life unsafe, and he just intends to play a little trick on people, but there is no need to put people to death, so Di Yue opened his mouth to help explain.
And the smell of guano on his body is estimated to be not so easy to remove, so the explanation of diarrhea, Di Yue thinks it is really appropriate, but fortunately, the third prince did not hold on to this problem, and this matter passed without danger.
"Miss Yue, my Crown Princess's brother has sent someone to inquire about the progress of our search for piranhas, this operation started because of your suggestions, and nothing has been found for so long now, what do you think about this? Of course, we don't mean to blame you, but you know more about this matter, you see whether we continue to look for it or give up, and I should return to the imperial brother as soon as possible. ”
Seeing that the third prince did not avoid the secret guard and talk to him, he knew that the third prince would ask about the piranha, and sure enough, the situation on the prince's side was not optimistic, and he had already come to ask without knowing it, but the third prince had not mentioned this matter to himself before, I am afraid that he didn't want to put pressure on himself! It's really hard for him.
But this time, Di Yue was confident and had already found the specific location of the piranha, so listening to the words of the third prince with a low emotion, Di Yue raised a smile.
"This is the man sent by the prince? Third Prince, now you can tell him that we have found the location of the piranha, please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is assured. ”
Hearing Di Yue say that he had found the location of the piranha, just like a long drought and a rainstorm, the third prince was stunned, and once suspected that he was having auditory hallucinations, and the secret guards on the side also heard it in a fog, after all, the third prince still told him with a heavy heart that he had not found anything.
"Miss Yue, are you sure you didn't talk in your dreams? Or am I dreaming now? ”
"Third prince, this is true, I didn't say anything in a dream, you are not in a dream, but I really found the specific location of the piranha, which is in the center of the river more than 500 miles away, if you don't believe it, I can take you to inspect it right now."
After all, they have been wandering on the banks of the Jiuchuan River without progress for a long time, and they have been searching for it without stopping, and when they have accepted the fact of failure, suddenly Di Yue jumped out and told them that they had found it, and the news spread quickly in the camp like thunder on the ground, and everyone swept away the previous haze on their faces, and they all looked smiling, and the spring breeze was full of happiness.
"Congratulations to the Third Prince! Now that I have found the exact location of the piranha, I will not delay any longer and immediately go back to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
The Dark Guard didn't linger too long, and after congratulating him, he resigned and left.
"Then go back and tell the royal brother the good news! Fortunately, I am not dishonored, I am not dishonored! Finally we found it. ”
After the third prince sent the prince's secret guard back, Qi Lian also came, just when he went back to change his clothes, as soon as he came out, he heard that everyone was rumoring that Emperor Yue had found the location of the piranha, thinking that this matter must have been reported to the third prince in advance and others would know, and he must have been known by the third prince when he didn't see it, so he hurried to ask the third prince for guilt.
"Guard Qi, you left your post without permission, ignoring my trust in you, but fortunately, Hua Yue is watching for you, I won't pursue it this time, you will act more to His Royal Highness in the future, and I won't deal with you so easily next time."
The third prince, who was originally in an unusually good mood, withdrew his smile and scolded a little when he saw Qi Lian appear, but it was rare that Di Yue had brought such good news now, so he bypassed Qi Lian this time without too much investigation.
"His Royal Highness Xie San has given his subordinates a chance to mend their ways, and his subordinates will definitely act cautiously in the future and never make the same mistake again."
There was a false alarm, there was no imaginary punishment, although Qi Lian knew that he was attacked by guano for no reason just now, it must be related to Di Yue, but now she helped herself say good things in front of the third prince, she was originally angry and left, and looked back and regretted that he was rash, but he clearly remembered that he did not ask Di Yue to help guard the camp, and the words of the third prince were obviously because Di Yue helped him intercede and he was not punished, so Qi Lian couldn't understand Di Yue's intentions.
"Miss Yue, thank you!"
Although he was tricked by Di Yue, he left his post without permission, even if he was punished by the third prince, he only had to admit his guilt, but he didn't expect that he was not punished because of Di Yue, so he still had to thank him, but Qi Lian was a little awkward.
"I don't dare to accept your insincere thanks. Don't be embarrassed to kill me, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, anyway, no one forces you. ”
Qi Lian, who had been trained by the third prince, got up and stood next to Di Yue, and thanked her in a low voice, and Di Yue also felt the awkwardness in his words, there was no need to let herself accept Qi Lian's thanks unhappily, and she just felt that she should do this, she didn't need him to thank her, but she just spoke a little ridiculously, which made Qi Lian feel a lot better, if she accepted Di Yue's kindness, then she would definitely be awkward to see her in the future, and it was better not to be implicated.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Di Yue didn't buy it, Qi Lian didn't bother to continue to entangle with her, so he straightened up with a cold snort and pretended to stand beside Di Yue as if nothing happened.
"Master, this person is really awkward, and he speaks in a weird way. And the master, you stay away from him, the smell of guano makes me uncomfortable. ”
The elf Green Fan the air in front of him with his hand, and looked at Qi Lian with disgust.
"What are you two muttering? Di Yue, now tell His Highness about the process of finding the piranha. ”
With the interruption of the three princes, Di Yue didn't bother to continue to entangle with Qi Lian, walked to the other side, and stayed away from Qi Lian according to the meaning of the green, Qi Lian did have a big smell on his body, Di Yue fanned in front of him with his hand, glanced at Qi Lian with disgust, and turned to answer the question of the third prince.
Looking at Di Yue's expression, Qi Lian sniffed his sleeve and found that there was no smell, and after glancing at Di Yue with disgust, he turned around and stopped looking at her, but his ears were pricked up to listen to how Di Yue answered the question of the third prince.
"Third Highness, I believe you already know that I went out this morning, as for the process, I don't think it is important anymore, the important thing is that although we have now found the location of the piranhas, how to introduce them into the battlefield is a difficult problem that needs to be overcome."
Di Yue avoided the previous meaningless question of the third prince and directly expressed his concerns.
"Well, this is indeed a problem, but His Royal Highness also knows very little about the battle ahead, so let's order to go down, prepare to pull out the camp in the afternoon, and then go directly to the barracks, and then His Highness will discuss this issue directly with the imperial brother."
"Your Highness is wise."
How to introduce piranhas into the battlefield is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but if you really don't find the specific implementation steps in combination with the actual situation, Di Yue doesn't know what to do.
Qi Lian quickly passed on the orders of the three princes, and after lunch, the group marched from the depths of the dense forest to the prince's residence in a low-key manner, and in order to ensure the accuracy of Di Yue's information, the three princes took Di Yue and Qi Lian to explore the location of the piranha again.
Under the leadership of Di Yue, the three of them took a small boat to the destination, and according to the location of the piranha is in the center of the Jiuchuan River, the territory of the piranha has a range of 100 zhang, and the river is about 500 zhang wide.
From the vision provided by the greenery, Di Yue could see the distance between the boat and the piranha, and in the piranha encirclement, Di Yue asked Qi Lian to stop the boat, and he took out a string of fish meat that had been prepared before and hung it on the bamboo pole, and put it into the piranha encirclement.
With this, the three princes also saw the appearance of the piranha, and were very shocked, there are such ferocious creatures in this world, although there are some records in the classics he found, but after all, it is still far from the feeling of seeing the real thing with his own eyes, looking at the cold teeth in the piranha's mouth, the three princes feel that their bodies are being eaten by thousands of ants, their scalps are numb, and their limbs are soft.
Qi Lian's situation was not much better than him, and he forgot to control the direction of the boat, so that the boat was getting closer and closer to the piranha's territory along the current, which frightened Di Yue a lot, and quickly called Qi Lian to slide the boat to the shore and stay away from this dangerous place.
"Miss Yue, I didn't see that you were so bold! Are you afraid of that dense piranha? ”
In fact, many times, Qi Lian did not deliberately block Di Yue, but was born like this, after seeing the scene of piranha eating fish meat, Qi Lian and the three princes were frightened, on the other hand, Di Yue was as calm as a person with nothing to do, and reminded himself to row at a critical moment, Qi Lian was deeply puzzled and admired, so he asked.
"You forgot? I've seen it this morning! The so-called seeing a lot is not strange, this is what it looks like. ”
Having the intention of saving face for the three princes, Di Yue answered this question so skillfully, in fact, except for life and death, she is now not afraid of anything, not to mention that he also knows that he is safe, as long as the formation that traps the piranhas is not broken, they will not be able to leave that circle, as long as they are outside the circle, they must not worry about their lives.
"Oh! Also, I forgot you were here. ”
Looking at the unkind eyes of the three princes, Qi Lian didn't dare to continue this topic, it is true that he is not the only one who is timid here, but he didn't expect that the third prince is well-informed as a prince, but he is also so timid, Qi Lian had to reply to Di Yue perfunctorily, and Di Yue had already taken the expressions of the two of them in his eyes, and did not continue to answer.
Clever as the third prince, he naturally knew that Di Yue had the intention to save face for himself, after all, he had just shown that he was really not powerful enough, so he didn't believe that Di Yue was not afraid because he had seen it once, there is a way that a person is afraid of a thing, he will be afraid from beginning to end, unless the thing that makes him afraid disappears, Di Yue is very bold, such Di Yue, again and again, he has been impressed, and the third prince Yu Yan has a great curiosity about her.
