Chapter 401: Self-deception
"Little General, why are you standing at the door? The general and the young lady are inside, so go inside. ”
Suddenly, Xiang'er's words came from outside, Xiang'er was holding the tray, Tong Yimeng was facing away from her, at this time she could only go around to Tong Yimeng, but she didn't want to see Tong Yimeng's sinking face, she was worried, she didn't know what to say, Tong Yimeng's forehead was bruised, and then she turned around and strode away.
Tao Li'er opened the door at this time, only to see Tong Yimeng's indignant back, Tao Li'er turned her head, saw General Tong's white face, thinking of what General Tong said, Tao Li'er was really in no mood to comfort this person who pretended to be asleep, she made the pot by herself, she didn't care!
Tao Li'er glanced at Xiang'er, "Send the food to General Tong." ”
Xiang'er nodded, Tao Li'er turned around and glanced at General Tong, and said lightly: "General Tong, you are no longer young, you have to eat when you should eat, I won't accompany you, Li'er is now, I feel uncomfortable somewhere." ”
After speaking, Tao Li'er also raised her feet and left, Xiang'er was also keenly aware of the stiff atmosphere, swallowed her saliva, and quickly brought the food out of the tray, and then bowed and hurriedly retreated, following Tao Li'er's steps and leaving.
The study was quiet, and only General Tong, who was frowning and pale, was left, and he now had only one thought in his heart: "Is he really wrong?" ”
Murong Mansion.
"Master, this is a letter from Zhang Zilai." The man in black knelt down and handed a letter to Murong Wenbin, who took it and looked at it, and then smiled.
"It seems that it was right to send Zhang Zi in the past, hmph, this Taishi Huaiyu really escaped just right, hum! Next, I'll just wait. ”
Taking a sip of tea, Murong Wenbin asked unhurriedly, "Is it going well on King Lan's side recently?" ”
The man in black thought for a while and said: "Everything is going well on King Lan's side, the magistrate has basically been swept to the end, his net worth has long been gone, and those newcomers can't afford this stall, so King Lan took the first salute and then the soldiers, and basically gained a group of people to follow, and some of those who were ready to 'reform themselves' were also tied up by their families, and finally they all obeyed." ”
When Murong Wenbin heard this, he was obviously very satisfied, and he couldn't help nodding, "Yes, I didn't look at the wrong person, King Lan's means are still there, this kind of vigorous and resolute means is exactly what I lack, but you still have to send someone to keep an eye on that group of people, there are more duplicities, and there are more grass on the wall, we can buy with money, and others can too, so keep an eye on it." ”
The man in black nodded, "Yes!" The master can rest assured, his subordinates have already sent someone to keep an eye on him. ”
Murong Wenbin nodded, and then asked about the situation of the Tong Mansion, "What happened to the Tong Mansion yesterday, what is the movement today?" ”
"General Tong didn't go to the court today, Tong Yimeng went, leaving the princess to guard the wind, the one who has been with Tao Li'er for the past two years, and when he went to Tong's mansion today, he seemed to be thrown out."
Murong Wenbin smiled when he heard this, "According to Tao Li'er's character, she will indeed do this kind of thing, and the king can't ask anything from the emperor, this state of being confused while understanding, the two of them will finish sooner or later." Now, I'm not worried about what the king will do, it's enough for him to be busy for a while to win back the heart of the pity, and then I'll wait for the barbarian's letter. ”
Barbarians.
It has gradually entered the early winter, in the wilderness, and the cold is earlier than the Central Plains, Taishi Huaiyu and a lean man sat on the horse and looked at the junction between the barbarians and the east not far away, and opened the pass.
The city gate of Hanqi Pass was tightly closed, and the branches outside gradually lost their vitality, with dead leaves on the ground, only a stubble in the east and a messy leaf in the west hanging tenaciously.
"My lord, let's go back, Prince Yelu is coming." The thin man retracted his gaze and said, Taishi Huaiyu smiled and nodded, "Got it, Mr. Zhang, I just want to see what this letter looks like now, maybe tomorrow, we should break through the pass." ”
Taishi Huaiyu had a smug smile in his eyes, Zhang Ziwen smiled, looking extremely harmless, but when Taishi Huaiyu turned around, Zhang Zi's eyes were full of wisdom.
"Sir, give me something to eat." Suddenly, a woman dressed in tattered barbarian costumes rushed out, and directly took advantage of the fact that the surrounding guards were not paying attention, and directly grabbed the trouser leg of Tai Shi Huaiyu and said pitifully.
Taishi Huaiyu frowned when he saw this, looked at the two dirty handprints that appeared on his trouser legs, his heart was displeased, and he was about to kick the person away, but he put a hand on the crook of his arm, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Zi dragging him gently, "My lord, we still have some cakes, let's give them to this aunt." ”
While speaking, he gave Taishi Huaiyu a look, Taishi Huaiyu looked towards the place where Zhang Zi's eyes skimmed, and finally found a group of people coming from the side, a tall figure at the head, presumably Prince Yelu, he smiled, changed his face, and untied the cake hanging on the horse and handed it to the woman.
"Take it and eat it, it's not enough to come to me again."
The woman obviously didn't expect it to be so easy, and she gave a barbaric thank you to Tai Shi Huaiyu in surprise, and then left with a few thanks, and pulled the child away after walking a few steps.
"I didn't expect that! Lord Taishi, who is not as famous as meeting, is actually a great good person! ”
A thick voice suddenly came, the leader had already come, this person was taller, a whole head taller than Taishi Huaiyu and Zhang Zi who were sitting on the horse, and the same was true of the person behind him, this person was Yelu Damon, the eldest son of King Yelu of the second tribe of barbarians.
Taishi Huaiyu and Zhang Zi exchanged a look and hurriedly greeted him, "Presumably this is Prince Yelu!" ”
Taishi Huaiyu said aloud deliberately, Zhang Zi just nodded gently when Yelu Damon looked at him, Yelu Damon had a beard on his face, and he looked heroic.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and when he looked Taishi Huaiyu up and down, Taishi Huaiyu felt like he was being targeted by a wolf, like a pins and needles, with a thorn in his back. It wasn't until Jerodamon withdrew his gaze that he felt better.
Jerudamon smiled, "My father sent me to discuss the attack with my lords, it's windy outside, let's go into the yurt and talk about it." ”
After Yelu Damon finished speaking, he turned around and took the first step, Taishi Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, patted the horse to follow, and a young man beside Yelu Damon, who was walking in front, said: "Brother Damon, I have heard of this Taishi Huaiyu, so why do you make a show?" Hum! I heard that people are very stingy! Before, a hungry clansman asked him for food, and he directly beat them away! ”
The young man looked indignant, and Yelu Damon smiled, but if he looked closely, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "What did I tell you before I came over?" Let you calm down, you don't know if the Central Plains people are stingy, this Taishi Huaiyu is even worse, he actually defected, fled to us, and betrayed Donglin, although his father wanted to get information from him, but who of us could afford him? ”
