Chapter 274: Trickery

Chu Mubai led 3,000 cavalry to escort Li Teng'er out of the capital, all the way to the west, a little anxious, lest when he was not in the capital, something would happen in the capital, so he was anxious to urge the army to march quickly.

Li Teng'er was not in a hurry, he stopped and went, saying that his stomach hurt for a while, and his back hurt for a while, and there was always no time for a day. Riding on a horse is as leisurely as a tour of the mountains and rivers. If this continues, the speed of the march will naturally be slow, and it has not left the territory of Hebei for three or four days.

Qiu Zijin and Li Teng'er are like old enemies, noisy and noisy along the way, and there is no moment of peace. The quarrel was unbearable, so I asked Chu Mubai to comment. If he ignored it, the two would fight if they didn't agree with each other, which made him anxious.

The two often compete with real guns, and the Xiliang soldiers are commonplace, happy to watch jokes, and just to relieve boredom along the way.

Most of the time, Li Teng'er is sharp-toothed, and Qiu Zijin is not an opponent at all, and he is so angry with Li Teng'er that he smokes.

And Li Teng'er laughed wildly, full of charm, and pointed at Qiu Zijin and said to Chu Mubai: "Look at how cute your entourage looks angry and corrupt." ”

Chu Mubai was very helpless about this, so he could only keep a cold face, impartial, and silent.

The army marched slowly to the Taihang Mountains, where the scenery was beautiful, Li Teng'er frowned again, shouted that his appetite was uncomfortable, and he was crumbling on his horse. She proposed either to set up camp and rest for a day before leaving, or to ride with Chu Mubai.

Qiu Zijin finally couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at Li Teng'er's nose and scolded: "Li Teng'er, don't think that this girl doesn't know what you are thinking." You like our General Chu, and you don't weigh your identity. You are Princess Xiliang, don't say that Chu Mubai disdains you, even if he takes a fancy to you, it is impossible for the two of you, you still die of this heart as soon as possible, don't seduce him with your heart, and despise your identity. ”

In front of the soldiers of the three armies, he ridiculed mercilessly, but Li Teng'er didn't care at all, and smiled enchantingly: "I, Li Teng'er, am your Taiping general in the picture, I just want to turn back to our Xiliang to be a concubine, what's wrong?" What does it have to do with you? ”

When Qiu Zijin heard her admit it calmly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and sneered: "Is it possible?" ”

"Even if it doesn't work? If this princess likes it, she likes it. ”

"Shameless!"

"What, you want to fight again?"

"Fight and fight, who is afraid of whom?"

The two of you come and go, fighting with each other, and don't give in to each other.

Qiu Zijin was obviously angry today, and he spoke openly.

Chu Mubai had a headache, and while pulling her hand, he dissuaded and comforted her. Qiu Zijin took the opportunity to climb his arm, and the two looked a little close.

Li Teng'er snorted angrily and pointed at Qiu Zijin: "General Chu, this princess doesn't like this woman, you send her back." ”

Chu Mubai didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade: "If the princess doesn't like it, don't look at her, so as not to block her heart." ”

He was so partial, and changed to Li Teng'er's anger: "But this woman has been dangling in front of this princess, making me dizzy and dizzy, and it is too uncomfortable." If she doesn't leave, Princess Ben won't be able to hurry. ”

This is naked and naked coercion.

Mo Guhan had a great responsibility, and he was in a hurry to return to the capital, and he was in a dilemma for a while, and he was silent.

Qiu Zijin was proud in his heart, and kept adding fuel and vinegar to sneer at Li Teng'er, Li Teng'er became more and more arrogant, refused to give in, and simply ordered the Xiliang soldiers to camp on the spot.

It was Chu Mubai's task to send her back to Xiliang safely, so after a stalemate for a moment, he could only take a step back and persuade Qiu Zijin with good words, let her go back to Beijing first, and lead his troops to escort Li Teng'er alone.

Qiu Zijin naturally didn't follow, Chu Mu wasted a lot of time talking for a while, Qiu Zijin was annoyed and ashamed, spoke ill of Li Teng'er, and got on the horse angrily and went all the way away.

Without Qiu Zijin, Li Teng'er and Chu Mubai get along much better. Although Chu Mubai is still silent, most of the time Li Teng'er is chattering and laughing.

The group traveled in the mountains and rivers, Chu Mubai urged again and again, Li Teng'er just went his own way, so that he was helpless, the emperor's order was in his body, and he couldn't really abandon it, so he could only let it go.

After the army passed Taiyuan Mansion, Li Teng'er suddenly received a flying pigeon from the border pass, and he did not shy away from Chu Mubai, and directly opened it in front of him, and immediately twisted a pair of willow eyebrows, with a dignified face and a little contemplation.

Chu Mubai walked side by side with her, didn't ask much, and turned a blind eye.

However, Li Teng'er sighed and raised the note in his hand: "I'm afraid it's going to be as you want, there is something at the border, let's hurry up." ”

Chu Mubai raised his eyebrows indifferently: "Now that there is no war at the border pass, what can there be 100,000 urgent?" ”

Li Teng'er pouted: "It's the bow and crossbow that your Chang'an transported in advance, and someone is fighting their idea and wants to plunder." ”

Chu Mubai looked ahead and snorted lightly: "How is it possible?" What is the use of these crossbows, which are delivered in batches and without bows? ”

Li Teng'er glanced at him coquettishly: "When you fight, you are full of scheming, so cunning, how can you occasionally be like a wooden stake." They clearly don't want me Li Teng'er to strengthen their strength. If, after they have succeeded, they plunder our bows and crossbows on the way? Then will we not return in vain and lose a lot? ”

Chu Mubai glanced at her indifferently, and said coldly: "After the bow and crossbow are transported to the pass, they have been handed over to you people in Xiliang, as long as you leave the pass, it is your own business, and it has nothing to do with our Chang'an." ”

Li Teng'er suddenly became a little angry: "You can't see me like this, okay?" ”

Chu Mubai didn't care at all: "You have always been cunning, who knows if this is your conspiracy?" ”

Li Teng'er suddenly became angry: "It's true that the bow and crossbow are in the hands of our Xiliang people, but don't forget, your Emperor Chang'an has entrusted you to be responsible for completing the final handover, and you will not be considered to have completed the emperor's order before I accept it."

Chu Mubai was speechless by Li Teng'er's rebuttal, snorted coldly, immediately lifted the reins of the horse, and left without saying a word.

Li Teng'er didn't want to delay, waved the scimitar in his hand, and immediately commanded thousands of iron horsemen, rolled up a burst of yellow sand, and galloped all the way vigorously.

When I hurried to the border pass, the soldiers stationed at the border pass had been greeting me at the pass for a long time.

Chu Mubaile dismounted his horse and bowed his hand to the generals: "Brothers, don't come unharmed. ”

The soldiers naturally knew Chu Mubai, and they suddenly thundered with joy and rushed up, surrounding Chu Mubai with great enthusiasm.

Li Teng'er rode on a horse, majestic: "It seems that General Chu's people are very well-informed, and they know General Chu's whereabouts along the way." ”

Chu Mubai raised his face: "Your Royal Highness the princess, send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, Chu Mubai did not disgrace her mission, and sent the princess to the pass safely, leaving a thousand miles away, the princess took care all the way." ”

Li Teng'er was still riding on the horse, looking at Chu Mu's white eyes flashing: "General Chu can't wait like this, which makes Teng'er feel like he has been swept away." ”

The princess said seriously, and the sister was grateful for the princess's generosity this time. In the future, the two countries will be friendly, and the princess is welcome to come to my Chang'an as a guest at any time. Chu Mubai said sincerely.

"Hehe, if it weren't for seeing her Qiu Zijin's figure, Teng'er would almost think that this was General Chu's heartfelt words."

Li Teng'er raised her face and looked at the city wall, where there was a sassy posture, standing tall on the city wall, bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, looking in the direction of the group.

Chu Mubai pursed his lips and was silent.

"Actually, there are no robbers who covet bows and crossbows at all, it was Qiu Zijin who united with your generals to lure me to the border pass in the starry night, right?"

Chu Mu Bailei nodded: "Yes, she is holding my token and riding a fast horse, and she has already arrived." ”

Li Teng'er sneered: "You men in Chang'an have a lot of flowers and intestines in their stomachs. ”

"Each other, each other."

Chu Mubai said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Li Teng'er asked with a cold face.

"Your Li Teng'er's skills are well known, and you have three thousand iron horsemen with you to protect you, but you only ask me Chu Mubai to escort you all the way out of the customs, is it possible that you have ulterior motives?"

"Ulterior motives?" Li Teng'er was stunned: "What can I do?" Do you really know? ”

Chu Mubai nodded firmly: "Your plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is a little too obvious. ”

Li Teng'er was stunned again, and looked at Chu Mubai meaningfully: "Do you suspect that I, Li Teng'er, transferred you out of Chang'an, and then someone in Beijing took the opportunity to plot against you?" ”

Chu Mubai said aggressively: "Isn't it? ”

"Hmph, thank you General Chu for holding me aloof and taking me Li Teng'er for such a skill!"

Li Teng'er arched his hand at Chu Mubai: "Teng'er admits that Chang'an and his party did have a plan, although they failed to achieve their wishes, but a blood ginseng in exchange for three thousand bows and crossbows, it is a sure win." As for abducting General Chu to my Xiliang border......"

Li Teng'er smiled charmingly: "What you say is what you say, Teng'er doesn't make an excuse." ”

After that, he snorted coldly, shook the reins of the horse, rode away, and soon disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun.

Chu Mubai stood in place and smiled bitterly.

A soldier stepped forward and handed him an envelope in his hand: "General Chu, the emperor sent someone to expedite 800 miles and sent a secret letter." ”

Chu Mubai's heart was broken, worried that there would be changes in Beijing, and his heart suddenly rose. Hurriedly took the secret letter, tore open the seal, opened it and looked at it twice, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then kneaded it into a ball, held it in the palm of his hand, exerted a little internal force, and immediately shattered it into powder.

Qiu Zijin came down from the city wall and asked, "Do you want to go back to Chang'an immediately?" ”

Chu Mubai was stunned, and then took the horse in the hand of the entourage: "Back!" ”

The guards were naturally reluctant to stay, and they wanted to give him the wind and dust, and drink a lot at night.

After three thousand cavalry replenished the supply and rested for a while, Chu Mubai recounted his feelings after parting, and refused one by one, then turned over and decided to rush overnight.

Just turned the horse's head and was about to set off, when he heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, he rode away from the dust, galloped from outside the gate, and raised a burst of smoke and sand.

Chu Mubai was afraid of change, so he hurriedly reined in the reins, the other party was already on a par with him, it was Li Teng'er who went and returned.
