Chapter 254: Faith, Discovered
Sikong Yanfei and the generals are deliberating in the conference hall.
A guard came in outside the door and whispered something in Uncle Wang's ear.
Uncle Wang's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Sikong Yanfei hesitantly, as if he couldn't decide whether to step forward or not.
"What?" Sikong Yan glanced at Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Sikong Yan's face changed suddenly, "Let's disperse today." ”
All the generals were stunned, attacking Maocheng was a big deal, and the king hadn't explained the matter clearly, so why did he disperse?
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to ask anything, so they had to retreat.
Waiting for all the generals to retreat, General Bai strode in from outside, "I've seen the king." ”
Sikong Yanfei propped his knees with his hands as if he wanted to stand up, but in the end he held back.
"Say."
"The subordinates were ordered to investigate all the cities around the cliff where the incident occurred, and found that in addition to the prince's men and horses, there was also a team nearby, which had been wandering and wandering, for some reason."
Sikong Yan heard that the corners of his forehead jumped, "Have you found out where the other team is?" ”
"It hasn't been identified, they're too alert and it's extremely difficult to get close." General Bai said, "But when I passed through a village, the local villagers said that a few days ago, a woman came to the village on a snowy day and lived in a farmhouse to give birth......
Sikong Yan shuddered, and bit the tip of his tongue at once, but he didn't realize the bloody breath in his mouth.
His mind was full of those two words: ...... Giving birth ...... Giving birth ......
It was the woman he wanted to protect by his side, the first child in his life...... But he missed them all, and even now he doesn't even know their lives and deaths.
"Have you ever seen the woman the villagers spoke of?" Sikong Yan asked in a hoarse voice.
"Nope." General Bai didn't notice his abnormality, and said, "When I went there, I encountered an accident with that farmer. ”
"What?" Sikong Yan asked urgently.
"I heard that bandits had wandered into the village and killed all of them."
How could there be such a coincidence, and how much money the farmer's family had, how could he encounter a wandering bandit.
Sikong Yan's scarlet eyes instantly revealed a sharp brilliance, "The surrounding cities, send more people." ”
General Bai said: "The subordinates have already sent another 500 people, but most of the prince's subordinates are nearby, so we don't dare to act too obviously." ”
With a "bang", Sikong Yanfei's fist slammed on the couch, "Send another five hundred people, and Lone will also go." ”
General Bai froze.
"Big ...... King? ”
"Lone will pretend to be a businessman." Sikong Yan said.
As a businessman, he can act in the open.
However, General Bai still hesitated, "I heard that the king is going to hand over the war book to Maocheng, if you are not there, ......."
Sikong Yan sneered, "If Lone is not in the generals, he can't win, then what is the use of Lone and the generals." ”
Besides, now his army is equipped with armor made of Su Tie, as well as crossbow iron arrows, if he really can't even capture Maocheng, those generals can be regarded as living in vain.
General Bai saluted respectfully, "My subordinates understand, my subordinates will go and prepare manpower, and they will ...... with the king tomorrow."
"Not tomorrow." Sikong Yanfei interrupted him and stood up directly, "I'll leave tonight." ”
Where there are caravans that travel in the middle of the night.
General Bai looked helplessly at Uncle Wang who was standing on the side, in the past, Uncle Wang would dissuade him at this time, but this time to General Bai's surprise, Uncle Wang just sighed and didn't dare to intervene.
Uncle Wang is Sikong Yanfei's close attendant, and in recent days, he has seen all the changes in Sikong Yanfei.
In the eyes of others, the King of Danyang is still the same as before, every morning he will go to the council hall to discuss with the ministers, or go to the city and the military camp to inspect it, everything seems to be the same as in the past.
Only Uncle Wang knew that every night when Sikong Yanfei returned to the house, the whole person was extremely gloomy, and he didn't even dare to gasp with the subordinates and guards in the house.
In the past, when Mrs. Yue was there, they would hear the king laughing loudly from time to time, but now the entire palace is dead, and the funeral has just been completed in the palace, and all kinds of white silk have not been taken off, and the night breeze blows, which is really infiltrating.
The place where Hanyue lives is really too cold, and even if the brazier is lit at night, it is still ventilated on all sides.
Fortunately, the child has her by her side, and she is quite passable.
The only problem is that she ran out of milk a few days after giving birth, and the two children were just when they could eat, so they didn't have much money on them, and they wanted to hire a wet nurse but they didn't have enough money.
Hua Cheng hugged the girl in the twins and coaxed, "Bao'er, if you continue like this, you will starve." ”
Han Yue also looked helpless, even if they sent a letter to Chidi, they would not be able to get here so quickly.
Just then, Tooth came in from outside, "Madam, I'm afraid things have changed." ”
"What's going on?" Han Yue asked.
"When the prince's men arrived in the city, six women who had just given birth died in the morning."
Hanyue and Huacheng were all shocked.
"So ruthless." Hua Cheng gritted his teeth.
Ya was going out to find a wet nurse for the children, but he heard such terrible news.
"What should I do?" Ya looked at Han Yue, waiting for her to make up her mind, "I'm afraid it's not safe in the city." "Sooner or later, the Prince's people will find here.
Han Yue held the child tightly in her arms.
At this time, she was really a little hesitant, and somehow, she actually thought about how good it would be if Sikong Yanfei did, as if as long as he was there, everything would be fine.
He always thinks of a way.
Han Yue smiled bitterly in her heart: What's the use of thinking about these now, Sikong Yanfei is far away in Danyang City, and it is impossible to help her.
"Out of town." She gritted her teeth.
She didn't want to sit still.
Just then, there was a jumble of footsteps outside the door.
Tooth was taken aback and hurriedly drew the long sword at his waist.
The door panel was smashed open from the outside, and as soon as Ya blocked Hanyue behind him, he was stopped by a large group of people pouring in from the outside with his sword.
"Your temperament is very similar to Gu Lingxin." A familiar male voice rang out from behind the crowd.
Han Yue hugged the child in her arms tightly, and her beautiful eyes darkened.
Cheng Wu walked in from outside the door.
"Close the door." He instructed his subordinates, "It's windy outside, and it's not good to regenerate after you hurt your body." As he spoke, he glanced at the child in Hanyue's arms.
When he saw the bright blood mole mark between the child's eyebrows, he raised his eyebrows, "You are indeed from the Gu clan." ”
Han Yue didn't say a word, just slowly moved her body back, trying to get farther away from Cheng Wu, and farther away.
Cheng Wu ignored the teeth that stood in his way and walked straight over.
As soon as his teeth moved, a sharp sword was pressed against his neck.
"Don't move, or their swords won't have eyes." Cheng Wu said coldly.
"What do you want." Han Yue spoke, she was afraid that her teeth would be impulsive, and she didn't want to lose this loyal guard.
Cheng Wu looked at her face, although she didn't apply fat powder, and she looked a little haggard, but at this moment, the medicine used to "disfigure" her forehead was long gone.
Blood-colored tear nevi are clearly visible.
"You're going to play me around, is that all?" Cheng Wu raised his hand and pinched her jaw.
