"Shizi, how about this, let General Zhu send us down the mountain first, once you meet with Ning Jun and confirm that what he said is true, let's tell us about the place where the books are hidden?" The slightly thick eyes shone in the firelight, and he smiled calmly.
Zhu Xiang didn't agree immediately, looked around the cave, and called a small team of people in.
Yuan Che's face sank for a moment: "General Zhu, I am also the prince of Wei Hou, what are you doing?" ”
Zhu Xiang smiled back: "Don't get me wrong, since Weichen is here, he has to be pretentious, right?" Please allow Weichen to search and search first, if he really finds nothing, Weichen can also give his subordinates an explanation. ”
Yuan Che frowned, wanting to cover up and say: "Then you can find it, no one will guide the way, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
Zhu Xiang smiled blindly: "Don't worry, Weichen is not so stupid, he is busy working all over the mountains." Brothers also need to conserve their strength, right? ”
After saying this, he turned to wave his hand and ordered a small group of men who followed: "You guys, knock all the walls; Try to climb to the top of this cave; And you, go and see the pool. ”
Under Zhu Xiang's orders, the guards immediately launched a search. Yuan Che and Wei Nong didn't dare to look at each other anymore, but they were nervous in their hearts. This Zhu Xiang is also somewhat capable, and he deserves to please King Ning.
What they didn't know was that Zhu Xiang was originally the son of a headcatcher, and after winning the martial arts, he was assigned to Dali Temple as an errand boy, and later after several tosses, he was transferred to the Praetorian Guard by fate. This person doesn't know much about being an official, he has a bad temper and is easy to get angry, and his ability to observe words and emotions is not as good as others, but he is a first-class good at finding people and things.
The reason why King Ning reuses him is that he is not afraid of offending people. It must be known that the commander of the Praetorian Guard is responsible for guarding the palace, and the prince of Naining is the personal guard, so the candidates naturally can't be too tactful, but they also have to have some real skills, and their temperament must be easy to handle.
Zhu Xiang is the person who can be controlled by King Ning. His ability to search for people and things is very high, and he is probably one of the best in Ning Kingdom, so King Ning sent him to track down Yuan Che and the collection of books.
Seeing that he sent someone into the water to search, Yuan Che knew that he couldn't hide it, and he was a little apprehensive. Wei Nong was even more worried, lest Zhu Xiang would find out that the box had been opened by her and found that the collection of books had been dropped.
The two of them silently watched the people coming and going in the cave, and they didn't say a word. And Zhu Xiang seemed to have decided that the collection of books was here, and stood at the entrance of the cave calmly.
"General Zhu, there is a discovery underwater!" In a short time, the guards who had gone into the water to search for them had already come out and reported with great interest.
Zhu Xiang immediately ran to the edge of the pool, squatted down and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"There are five chests at the bottom of the pool!"
"Move on!"
……
When several guards worked together to bring the box up, Wei Nong and Yuan Che both closed their mouths in amusement.
Zhu Xiang smiled defiantly and asked, "What about the key?" ”
"No," Yuan Che replied first, "I just said that we can't open this box." ”
Wei Nong also said: "Even if you want to open the box, it should be your king's hand, General Zhu should not overstep." ”
Yuan Che began to sing and harmonize with her again: "I see that the key has to go to Queen Jiang to get it, isn't this the treasure of Jiang Kingdom?" ”
Wei Nong pretended to suddenly realize: "No wonder I can't cut the chain no matter how I cut it, why didn't the prince say it earlier?" ”
When Zhu Xiang heard this, he inspected the boxes one by one, and sure enough, he saw that one of the boxes was full of sword marks, while the others were intact. It can be seen that these boxes have indeed not been opened.
But Rao is like this, Zhu Xiang still can't fully believe the two of them, so he said suspiciously: "Since the prince and the night girl said that they can't be opened, then Weichen will be offended." Wechen has to search all the packages, and if he can't find the keys, he can prove the innocence of the two of you. ”
"General Zhu, I'm not dead yet!" The original face is gloomy.
Zhu Xiang pondered for a moment, and then pointed the finger at Weinong: "The prince and the king have a heart, you don't need to search, but the night girl must be searched." ”
Wei Nong frowned when he heard this. If she insisted on not letting the search at this moment, it would only increase Zhu Xiang's suspicions. But if she relented, what if the secret of the key was discovered?
After thinking about it, she had to gamble: "General Zhu wants to search me?" OK. What if you don't find it? ”
"What do you want to do?" Zhu Xiang asked rhetorically.
"As soon as you get down the mountain, let me go."
"It's a deal!"
Zhu Xiang's movements were very fast, and he immediately ordered several guards to search Weinong's package, and asked the concubine he brought with the army to search Weinong's body. The little concubine searched out the sword bag of the Shocking Sword, Zhu Xiang looked at it curiously several times, and was about to ask some questions, when he heard Yuan Che say intentionally beside him: "This sword is the thing of the Yan royal family." ”
When Zhu Xiang heard this, he really hesitated for a moment, returned the Jinghong Sword to Wei Nong, and did not forget to say a word about the scene: "It is worthy of the Yan royal family, this sword is strange, I have never seen it in my life." ”
"There are many things that General Zhu has never seen." Wei Nong retrieved the sword from his hand and wrapped it around his waist again.
On the other side, a guard had already rummaged through the slightly thick baggage, and his eyes fell on a bundle of white cloth tape. Wei Nong immediately said angrily: "That thing is not allowed to move!" ”
Zhu Xiangzheng couldn't grasp her handle, so he immediately walked over and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Oops!" His concubine suddenly exclaimed at this time, and then walked up to him with a red face and said something in her ear.
Zhu Xiang understood, so he handed the bundle of white silk to the concubine: "Then I won't look at it, you can take a look." ”
The slightly thick heart suddenly lifted up, and involuntarily glanced at Yuan Che.
Yuan Che didn't know the mystery of the bundle of white silk, but only knew that it was a slightly dense and private thing, so he naturally felt faceless: "General Zhu!" Don't go too far! ”
Zhu Xiang was extremely firm this time: "The prince forgives his sins, and Weichen is also for your sake." You don't want to be charged with 'bullying and colluding with the Yan people', right? ”
Since he was a child, Yuan Chehe had suffered such an insult, and he was so angry that he immediately pulled out the Dragon Yin Sword: "You are looking for death!" ”
"Shizi!" Wei Nong hurriedly walked to his side and held down the Long Yin Sword with one hand: "Your injuries have not healed, so you should not be angry." ”
But having said that, she still couldn't help but be nervous, lest the little concubine see something. She was racking her brains to think of a way, but she heard the little concubine's delicate voice already sound: "General, the concubine has been checked, this is all the common things in the daughter's family, and there is nothing abnormal." ”
Wei Nong was greatly surprised in his heart, and glanced at the little concubine quietly, but saw that the other party's expression was as usual, and there was a sense of impatience, so he didn't look at her at all. Wei Nong secretly suspected in his heart: Is this little concubine too negligent? Still is......
Just thinking about it, I heard the little concubine say delicately: "There is suffocation in this cave, if the general has no other orders, the concubine wants to go back to the camp." ”
She must have been extremely favored, and even spoke with a coquettish meaning, and Zhu Xiang even lowered her voice and said, "Then you go!" ”
The concubine pouted, threw the bundle of white silk back into the baggage, and left without looking back.
Zhu Xiang couldn't find anything useful from Wei Nong's body, and his face was a little scornful.
Wei's heart also fell, and he reminded him with a smile: "General, don't forget to promise me." ”
Zhu Xiang pondered for a moment: "It's okay to let you go, but you can't take away a single bite of these five boxes." ”
Wouldn't it be too fake if she readily agreed? Wei Nong glanced at Yuan Che reluctantly, and then said ambiguously: "The box can't be opened at the moment, so it's useless to say anything." Let's go down the mountain first! ”
******
After Zhu went up the mountain, Yuan Che failed to deter him, but was ridden on his head, and he was naturally annoyed. Especially in front of Wei Nong, this made him feel even more embarrassed. So he repeatedly assured Wei Nong that there would be no shortage of books for her, but he might have to take a trip back to Ningguo first, and then divide it before making plans.
Because of this reason, Yuan Che instigated Wei Nong to go back to Ningguo with him first, but Wei Nong had already made up his mind, so he would rather give up the box and go on the road first, saying that he would not go back again. This made Yuan Che very depressed.
And Zhu Xiang found the box, and he also had some guesses in his heart, so he decided to pull out the camp and go down the mountain in three days. The reason why we had to wait for three days was that the brigade of men and horses was rushing day and night, all of them were exhausted, and everyone wanted to rest; In addition, Yuan Che's injuries have not healed, so it is not appropriate to move for the time being. In the end, Wang Tuo came up with a way, commanded the men and horses to cut down a few big trees, and made a four-lift soft couch, intending to carry Yuan Che down the mountain.
Since these people went up the mountain, the accommodation conditions of the slight and original have been completely improved. The tent brought by Zhu Xiang was spacious and comfortable, several times stronger than the common people's house, and even the two of them were tied to each other.
Since then, Wei Nong finally no longer has to take care of Yuan Che, there are military doctors, men, and servants in the team, she not only sits and waits for three meals a day every day, but also does not have to wash her clothes.
She is the only one who is the only one who is five big and three rough men. The other woman is the concubine brought by Zhu Xiang - Liuli, who is eighteen years old, charming and charming, and looks very attractive.
Not only does he look seductive, but his behavior is also seductive, he only stayed on the mountain for two days, and then he wandered to Wang Tuo's side, shouting "Brother Wang" one by one, and he can shout all the bones of people. Wang Tuo also knew in her heart that she ignored herself along the way, but as soon as she went up the mountain, she became so attentive, obviously "the drunkard's intention is not to drink" - she took a fancy to Yuan Che.
For the appearance of this woman, Yuan Che was extremely disgusted, so he vomited bitterness to Wei Nongda. In fact, according to Yuan Che's temper, he would have scolded Liuli a long time ago, if he really did it before. But this time he deliberately looked at Wei Nong's reaction, and he also wanted to hint at her: Lao Tzu is still very popular with women.
It happened that Wei Nong also suspected the identity of the concubine, so he said to Yuan Che: "You invite her to your tent, and I will talk to her." ”
"Coming to my tent?" Yuan Che was a little awkward: "If Zhu Xiang knows, wouldn't he want to overturn the vinegar jar?" ”
"What are you afraid of, and I'm here." He smiled slightly.
Yuan Che thought about it, and there was indeed nothing unpleasant, so he took advantage of the time when Zhu Xiang went to inspect the camp and made an appointment with Liuli into the tent.
