Chapter 549: Chen Li's Invitation
Chen Li looked at him with a smile: "Oh? People are coming so soon? ”
The man smiled: "How dare you slack off on your orders, since you gave your orders, your subordinates have been watching the passers-by in the border city, and finally waited for a group of ...... from Dacheng."
"To the point." Chen Li impatiently interrupted his high-minded talk, "I'm not here to listen to you talk about how hard you work. ”
"Yes, yes, there are two girls and a group of men here, and their appearance is exactly the same as the portrait you showed the little one, so the little one hurriedly came over to inform the adults."
The corners of Chen Li's mouth hooked up a faint smile: "It's finally here, you did a good job this time, go down and receive the reward." ”
This sentence made the man very happy, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to him, and went happily under the leadership of the guards, but as soon as he walked out of the back room, two stout men came out, gagged him, and then one of them dragged him to the dark.
Just heard a crisp 'click' sound, and the defender's mansion returned to its previous calm.
Then the attendant entered the house and reported: "General, it has been resolved." ”
Chen Li bowed slightly, picked up the book that was placed aside and continued to read, and said without raising his head: "Let the sentry eagle out and inform the lord." ”
"Yes!"
'Oooo ’
With the familiar rooster crow, Qi Ling opened his eyes, walked to the window and found that the sky was still gray at the moment, and he could faintly feel the cold breath outside through the gap in the window.
It's winter...... She looked at the half-finished scarf on the table and sighed silently in her heart.
I don't know if that guy is in danger this time.
But what she has to do this time is to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, thinking of this, she can't help but clench her fists, you must succeed!
Although I don't understand why those rebels revolted, such a peaceful and prosperous world can't be ruined by this group of guys who appeared out of nowhere.
The people's peace and contentment can prove that today's saint is a rare king, don't let those guys have a chance!
After breakfast, everyone left the room, replenished some supplies and prepared to continue on the road, but before the carriage left the border city, it was stopped by a group of men dressed as soldiers.
Ah Wen looked puzzled, they didn't do anything illegal, how could there be soldiers to block the way?
Qi Ling, who was sitting in the car knitting a scarf, obviously felt that the carriage had stopped, and couldn't help but poke his head out to check, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled after seeing the soldiers.
What's going on?
Qingyu jumped out of the carriage and came to the soldier and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't you know what stopped us?" ”
A man walked out of the soldiers and smiled slightly: "Presumably this is the Qingyu girl?" ”
"We... Know? Qingyu looked the person up and down, but found that there was no familiar shadow, she shouldn't know this person, right?
"Haha... The girl laughed, naturally we have never met, in Xia Wang Gui, it is General Chen's subordinate. ”
Qingyu reacted at this time, and there was a slight smile on her face: "It turned out to be General Chen Li's subordinate, I don't know if there is something?" ”
Wang Gui's gaze fell on Qi Ling, who was looking around, "I am here to invite Miss Qi to come over to the mansion on the order of General Chen, Gu Gongzi came to see the general when he passed through the border city before, and explained a few words to the general to ......convey on his behalf."
"I see!" Qingyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Li and Gu Jinfeng had been stationed together in the border city to repel the Dacheng army, so the friendship was naturally needless to say, presumably he was too anxious to leave, and he was afraid that the girl would worry before he would let General Chen convey it on his behalf.
Thinking of this, the matter was clear at a glance, Qingyu arched his hand and said, "I'll go here and convey it to the girl, Lord Wang, please wait a moment." ”
"I'm tired."
Just when Qingyu turned around and returned to the carriage, Ah Wen, who was riding on the horse, faintly noticed that something was wrong, since it was just a few words to say, why not come to the inn to find Miss Qi directly, but instead come to stop the car when they were leaving?
He has been extremely alert to crises since he was a child, and when he turned his horse's head and came to the carriage, he heard Qi Ling's happy voice coming from inside.
"Really? Then let's hurry over! ”
"Miss Qi?"
Hearing someone shouting to herself, she hurriedly lifted the curtain: "Awen? What's wrong? ”
"You see I've left something at the inn in a hurry, I'm going to go back and get it."
Qi Ling smiled: "Then you go quickly, don't find it when Xiao Er cleans up the room." ”
Ah Wenhan smiled and nodded: "Cheng, then I'll go get it and I'll be back soon." ”
"Well, you go and come back quickly."
He watched as the carriage slowly departed with the group of soldiers, and the smile on his face was fleeting, and he looked around and rode into a remote alley.
Qi Ling, who was sitting in the carriage, looked happy, humming a small tune while knitting the scarf in his hand, which was woven with real wool thread, which was very smooth and soft to the touch, and it was not at the same grade as the coarse wool in the world in the previous life.
Weaving and weaving, she couldn't help laughing, what kind of expression would classmate Gu, who has always been very particular about dressing, show when he receives a long scarf from modern times?
Outside the car, Wang Gui, who was leading the way in front, glanced at the two attendants beside him, and the two of them understood, and when everyone was unprepared, they broke away from the team and chased back the route that Awen had left before.
When they rushed to the previous inn, they were told by the shopkeeper that no one had come to pick up anything, and the two looked at each other, knowing that they had been tricked by that guy.
In desperation, he could only choose to go back to his life, and after the two left, an old man with a tall figure passed by tremblingly, pressed the straw hat on his head, and hid the faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
The garrison was located in the southwest of the border city, where there were basically no residents, and most of the mansions were used for soldiers to station, and there were probably more than 1,000 people in total.
As the carriage deepened, you could also see soldiers patrolling back and forth from time to time, which seemed to be very strict.
Although it has been almost two years since she came to this world, it is the first time she has seen such a large-scale military realm, and she is very surprised: "Qingyu, isn't it possible that all the defenders of the border city here?" ”
"Yes, because the garrison mansion is where the general who defends the city lives, the guards must be strict, and it is also to protect the safety of the general."
Wang Gui showed an approving expression: "Miss Qingyu is right, the two armies are fighting, the existence of the commander is very important, the enemy country is not so benevolent, and will definitely send someone to sneak in and wait for the opportunity to kill the boss. ”
Qi Ling nodded, although she didn't know any strategies for fighting, she still understood some of these fur truths.
Wang Gui smiled and pointed to the gate in front of which there were soldiers stationed: "That's the general's residence." ”
She had already looked around, she was a little confused, when they first came in, they were obviously passing by a larger and more luxurious residence, why didn't General Chen live there, but condescended to such a small courtyard?
"General Chen... Just stay here? ”
As if seeing the hesitation on her face, Wang Gui explained: "This is what the general meant, firstly, to divert the attention of the enemy army, after all, everyone's subconscious thinks that the commander should live in the best place, so it is enough to confuse the public." ”
"Oh! General Chen is so smart! ”
"The girl has won the award, and secondly, because of the general's background, she doesn't care so much about glory and wealth, as long as she is clean and tidy and can live in people."
Hearing Wang Gui say this, Qi Ling had to admire this General Chen, whom he had never met.
Gu Jinfeng also mentioned it a few times before, saying that he was different from those officials in the court who only knew how to covet glory and wealth, he volunteered to guard the cold border city, and he had never returned to the capital for six years, which can be described as a clear stream.
Sometimes these generals are really admirable!
