Chapter 280: Reduced to a Prisoner
"This is the situation at the moment, everyone thinks that General Bai has already defected to the enemy and treasoned and secretly sent the sand cannon to the Anling rebel army, and the other party's invitation is just to find an opportunity to take you away and take the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to our army. [Full text reading. General Bai, even if you explain it, you can't tell the facts, after all, there is no credible person who can prove it, and besides, it was the Anling soldiers who sent you back, and the two associations are really indisputable,"
Xiao Baishan spent some time explaining the current situation to Bai Qige, the damage caused to the Guangshu army by the puppet army pretending to be Anling soldiers, including the hatred of many soldiers in Da Yao, and the suspicion in the army that Bai Qige suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared, and at the same time took out the message that Emperor Yao ordered Bai Qige to return to the imperial capital quickly.
The words on the letter are plain and do not seem to have the intention of punishment, so it can be seen that Emperor Yao does not plan to deal with Bai Qige for the time being about the robbery of grain and grass, but if he knows that the sand cannon is lost, Bai Qige will spend a few days with the chief general and military division of the Anling army. Will you still be so calm and objective?
No one can say for sure what is to come.
"General Xiao, let me stay for a few more days, there are still some things I want to figure out." To Xiao Baishan, Bai Qige was blunt.
Xiao Baishan frowned: "It's okay for three or five days, but it's not okay for too long." I told them that you can delay for a while before your injuries are healed, and General Bai will do anything as soon as possible, and if he can help, he will be at his disposal at any time. ”
They are all old acquaintances, and polite words are meaningless, Bai Qige said thank you lightly, and then immersed herself in boundless thoughts.
What happened recently seems to be unrelated and painless, but once they come together, they will become a real net, binding her to death. First of all, the lord of Anling recruited An, and claimed to favor her in front of many Guangshu troops; Then the grain and grass personnel were repeatedly harassed by it, which caused the Guang Garrison Army to complain; Later, someone invited to persuade Cheng to surrender, although Bai Qige saw through the other party's vision and refused to surrender, the other party's artillery fire made her have to flee into the Anling military camp, and she was further suspected by the soldiers of the Guangshu Army, and even hated her because of the soldiers who died heroically.
Is this all a coincidence? Anling Kingdom, Yanhu Kingdom, Anling Lord, Yanluo Princess...... No matter how you look at it, it's all a well-arranged chess game.
He closed his eyes and sat quietly in the corner of the tent, and his mind kept flashing the slightly emaciated cheeks, sometimes indifferent, sometimes gentle, sometimes contemplative, sometimes smiling. How is he doing alone in the palace? Is it like she is also in the middle of calculations? He is impulsive and irritable, although he knows more about all kinds of dirty conspiracies and tricks, he is calm and composed, but he is not as calm as her, Bai Qige is always afraid that he will conflict with Emperor Yao because of some contradictions, and he is afraid that he will make irreparable wrong decisions in anger.
When I opened my eyes again, the light in my clear and dark eyes flickered, like stars in a clear night, and the pain in my body was not so difficult. Bai Qige walked outside the tent after a simple freshening up, and took a deep breath by looking at the bonfire in the middle of the camp.
For the sake of him and his world, you have to work hard to live.
In the next few days, Bai Qige has been busy between the arsenal and the ferry, trying to find evidence to expose the truth, in order to prove that she did not defect to the enemy and treason, and everyone is full of money, accumulating and destroying her bones, she doesn't want to be hacked into a traitor with a loyal liver and righteous courage, and it is hard enough to bear the responsibility of Bai Qige's own stealing defense map to lead to the destruction of the Zhao country. However, the reality is always cruel, and in the past few days, not only has no evidence been found that the Hu State is pretending to be an Anling army, but another holy decree has been waited.
In a flash, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"After investigation, General Bai Qige of Guangshu collaborated with the enemy and treason, sent our army's grain and grass to the rebellious party, and colluded from time to time to conspire to annex the territory of Dayao. The emperor Longwei Shengming hereby decreed the abolition of Bai Qige's post as general Guangshu, and immediately escorted back to the imperial capital by the county guard of Nanxin County, waiting for his fate. ”
Nanxin Junshou is a man with a fat brain, holding the letter covered with the emperor's jade seal in one hand, and rubbing it on his round belly with the other, which looks ridiculous.
It's just that who can laugh at this time.
Xiao Baishan couldn't hold his breath, and his face darkened and he was angry: "This is really the emperor's will." ”
"With the emperor's seal, I can still fool you." Nanxin County Shou pursed his lips, with a villain's face, "Master Jun, you are all masters, if you want us, the county parents and officials, we have to tighten our belts and save you, we are ants, we are scum that you don't even bother to look at, how dare I lie to your old man." But the emperor has an order, who dares to disobey below. Let's catch General Guangshu to go to the imperial capital It's a chore, we don't want to do it yet, you have to be considerate and considerate, and let's not be too embarrassed by these little scum and ants. ”
One by one, he screamed happily, but there was no respect in his tone, how could Xiao Baishan not hear the mockery of Nanxin Junshou. Looking at the letter stamped by the Vermilion Great Seal, there is nothing to say.
"Since it is the emperor's order, there is no reason to disobey." Bai Qige didn't want to see Xiao Baishan in a dilemma, so he turned back to the tent to get the seal of the Lord and handed it to Xiao Baishan, and bowed deeply to the angry old general, "Thank you General Xiao for your help these days, Qige is grateful in my heart." I don't know when I will see you again today, I hope General Xiao can always remember what I said, to fight or not to fight, General Xiao will think twice. ”
"General Bai rest assured, the last general will find evidence as soon as possible to save the general's innocence, and will never teach General Bai to be wronged," Xiao Baishan took a deep breath and turned to Nanxin County Punctuality was still fierce, "General Bai is my Dayao Crown Princess, who dares to deliberately make things difficult and cause harm, I, Xiao Baishan, will not spare him first,"
Nanxin Junshou was so frightened that he trembled, his fat body trembled, and he swallowed his saliva and held it for a long time before he stammered: "What should I do, what should I do, all according to the rules, I have no grievances with her, what do I do to harm her." ”
Xiao Baishan snorted coldly, holding the saber and deliberately making a loud noise, his eyes wide.
In fact, he couldn't complain that Xiao Baishan was short-tempered, and the Guangshu army had to ask for wine, meat, vegetables and some military salaries from nearby counties and counties while eating imperial grain, and the high-ranking officials of the counties and counties naturally did not want to see them, and they had been resentful for a long time. Bai Qige, as the convicted general of Guangshu, happened to be escorted by the county guard, how could Xiao Baishan not worry that she would be bullied by this group of people on the road. If it weren't for Emperor Yao's order for him to be stationed in the south to replace Bai Qige as the main general, he would have been eager to escort Bai Qige to the imperial capital.
Waiting for Bai Qige to pack up his things and deliver the seal, Nanxin County couldn't wait to urge him to go on the road, and a heavy shackle was moved in front of him, and he was about to put a lid on Bai Qige's head.
Oops there was a scream, the officers and soldiers of Nanxin County who were moving the shackles were kicked a few steps away and fell to the point of bleeding, Xiao Baishan stood in front of Bai Qige with a sword and a cold eyebrow, and his voice was like a tiger: "I am the law, officials above the second rank can be escorted without shackles, General Bai is a general of Guangshu, and he is a military attache from the first rank, you dare to mess with what shackles,"
"The military master is confused." Nanxin Junshou was angry and angry, and sneered in a suppressed voice, "The emperor's order is to remove her official position first and then escort her, which means that she is only a civilian criminal now, so why can't she be put in the yoll." The enraged county guard flicked his sleeves and shouted abruptly: "Come on, put the shackles on her, this official is ordered to do things, I see who dares to stop it,"
Seeing that there was about to be a conflict, Bai Qige hurriedly pushed Xiao Baishan behind him, and his two hands took the initiative to reach into the shackles, and the sense of humiliation immediately surged all over his body, and his face burned like fire.
She is wholeheartedly for the Dayao Jiangshan Society, although she has selfish intentions in it, her loyalty to the people of this land is true and unfake. In the past, it was a fact that she was convicted of stealing defense maps, and even if she was guilty, it was a matter of course, but now she has done nothing wrong but wants to get into this heavy shackle, what is the reason.
In order not to affect Xiao Baishan, she put on shackles, but she was still aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Xiao Baishan also understood that Bai Qige endured the humiliation for the sake of the overall situation, his voice choked, bent down to rummage in the bonfire for a while, and then walked in front of Bai Qige with his head down, and stuffed the two hot eggs into his clenched fists.
"General Bai, take care of ...... on the road"
"General Xiao take care, all the soldiers take care, I Bai Qige have a clear conscience, I will come back here one day, and talk with your brothers," he shouted loudly, and he was angry in the sky, and in the slightly moved gaze of the soldiers of the Guangshu Army, Bai Qige turned around and strode away.
Bitter or sour, swallow it alone, what she wants to leave is a back that will never give in, and those who do not teach their relatives to be bitter and enemies are happy.
Ning Xi's drunken tent was outside the Guangshu military camp, and Bai Qige had been busy since returning from Anling, and he hadn't been in contact with him for a long time, so he didn't get the news from Xiao Baishan until half a day after Bai Qige was escorted on the road. Without waiting for Ning Xi's drunken orders, Su Buqi neatly packed his things and loaded them into the carriage, and galloped in pursuit of the escort team in the direction where it left, and rushed to Bai Qige's side in the early morning of the second day, at that time, Bai Qige's wrists had been worn red and swollen by the heavy and rough shackles.
Ning Xidrunk didn't say a word to Bai Qige, and rushed directly to the front and crossed the carriage to stop the county guard riding the horse, his face was not the usual gentle and elegant, but the numbness and indifference similar to Su Buqi, and his finger pointed at Bai Qige from afar: "Untie the shackles." ”
Nanxin County Shou naturally wouldn't do it obediently, his stomach was straight, and his official authority was full: "Where did you come from?" Whoever comes, take the prisoners away,"
The officers and soldiers on both sides didn't have time to act, and suddenly there was a snow-white cold light in front of them, and the long and thin soft sword was lying in front of Ning Xi's drunken body, and the cold chill emanating from Su Buqi's body was so oppressive that no one dared to move for half a minute, so he only stood helplessly in place.
In case it would be of no benefit to Bai Qige who was treated as a prisoner, she would rather be drunk than be misunderstood and hurt her, her face softened slightly, and a bag of silver was thrown into the arms of the county guard.
"I will pay for the carriage and horses, food and lodging expenses to and from the imperial capital, in addition to the silver travel fee given by the imperial court, I will give you another 1,000 taels, you just need to open her shackles, change into a carriage, and serve good food and food."
One thousand taels is not a small amount, being a county guard for a month is only seven taels of silver and three stones of rice, even if this money is removed and distributed to the accompanying officers and soldiers, it is more than enough, Nanxin County Shou licked his lips, and wanted to continue to put on the official shelf, but it turned into a happy smile in the collision of the silver: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, come on, go to the front post station to buy two carriages, Gongzi Road is uneven, chivalrous and brave, this official admires it to the extreme......"
The county guard was rambling and would rather be drunk and not listen to it at all, walked to Bai Qige, who was smiling calmly, held his slender wrist, and blew lightly carefully, looking at the crimson marks on his wrist full of distress. Looking up inadvertently, the carriage parked on the side of the post road not far away was dropping the curtains, grabbing Ning Xi's drunken gaze, his pale long eyebrows raised slightly, and he clenched his fists silently.
