Chapter 64: Speculation
A small tent was set up in the distance outside the camp of the Liuli Army, and the sergeants were surprised, but they were ordered not to allow anyone to approach this tent, and even to stay away from this side during training, just so as not to disturb the owner of the tent.
Early this morning, Lin Qi rode on a snow black horse, straddling a burden, without bringing anyone, he left the barracks and went straight to the tent, and when he arrived, he saw Firefly standing at the door, as if waiting for him.
"Little Seven!"
Seeing Lin Qi, Firefly suddenly smiled and stepped forward, Lin Qi nodded slightly, turned over and dismounted, because the injury on his right hand had not healed, so he was still a little clumsy, at this time, Firefly had already greeted him and formed the burden in his hand.
"Is my aunt up?"
"Well, my aunt woke up early, she has finished washing, and she is waiting for you. β
After listening to Firefly's words, Lin Qi took the girl's hand, and the two walked into the tent side by side.
This tent is not small, but it is more than enough to sleep two people, and everything used in the tent is readily available, at this time, Qu Yitong is sitting in front of a square table, and there is a bowl of water on the table.
"Auntie, Xiao Qi has sent food!"
At this time, Firefly had already put the burden on the table, and without waiting for Qu Yitong to respond, she began to untie it, there was a food box in the baggage, and the food box was divided into two layers, with pastries and rice on the top and a few dishes on the bottom.
"Auntie, this is made by the cook in the barracks, I don't know if it suits your appetite. β
Qu Yitong glanced at it casually, and knew that this meal was also made with heart, so he smiled and nodded.
"It's okay, auntie, I can eat any coarse tea and light rice, this is already excellent. β
Seeing that Qu Yitong was satisfied, Lin Qi was also very happy, so he helped the fireflies to Zhang Luo together, and at this time took out the bamboo chopsticks and handed them to Qu Yitong first, and then handed them a pair of fireflies.
Qu Yitong took the bamboo chopsticks, picked up the side dish and tasted it, the heat of the meal was just right, the taste was light and pleasant, very much to his liking, and he couldn't help but nod again.
At this time, she looked up at Lin Qi's still bandaged arm, so she asked, "Xiao Qi, how is your injury?"
Hearing Qu Yitong's words, Lin Qi stroked his right arm and replied with a smile: "I used my aunt's injury medicine, and I really saw it." β
After speaking, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was slightly gloomy at this time.
Seeing him like this, Qu Yitong also knew the reason.
"Is your sixth master still the same?"
"Well, but the condition has stabilized, but he has been unconscious, he was directly damaged by Liu Jizong's sword intent, and now he can survive, it's just ...... It's just that right now, the sixth master is the backbone of the entire Liuli Army, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that all the previous preparations will be in vain now......"
Now that Qin Feiling is seriously injured and unconscious, the affairs of the Liuli Army have been temporarily handed over to Xiao Yue and others, although there will be no problems in a short time, but after all, Qin Feiling is the commander of the whole army appointed by the imperial court, if Qin Feiling has been in a coma like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will affect the morale of the army and the morale of the army, and at that time, the Liuli Army will only face two results.
Either it will be disbanded, or the imperial court will send a new commander to come, but no matter which result, it will go against the original intention of the formation of the Liuli Army, and in any case, this is not the result that everyone wants to see.
First of all, as the core of the Liuli Army, it is difficult to say whether the Liuli Pavilion will obey the orders of others, these strategists and military strategists who take Qin Feiling's horse as the leader are all proud and conceited, if a mediocre person comes to lead the whole army, I am afraid that the first one who disagrees is the Liuli Pavilion.
Secondly, it is the placement of the disciples of the Sword Pavilion. The reason why the Sword Pavilion handed over these more than 100 disciples to the Liuli Army, instead of the Northern Army, was actually based on the friendship between Zhang Xiao and Qin Feiling, and Zhang Xiao also knew the strength of Zhang Xiao and Liuli Pavilion, and he also knew that handing over the disciples to Qin Feiling would definitely improve, but if it was a change of person, it would need to be considered separately.
The last question is about the command of the Twilight Clan. At the beginning of the resolution, the Dusk Snow Clan had agreed to hand over the command of the troops to Dahua, but it also indicated that it would only be handed over to the generals he trusted, and that person was Qin Feiling, although the Liuli Army had not yet made peace with the troops of the Dusk Snow Clan, but if Qin Feiling remained in a coma like this, it would definitely affect the agreement between Dahua and the Dusk Snow Clan, so that if it was not handled well, it would not only affect the stability of the coalition army, but even the plan that was decided to protect the Dusk Snow Clan at the beginning would be disrupted, but it was this point that everyone needed to re-planγ
In addition, a new question was also put in front of everyone, and Lin Qi, who learned about it, was actually very surprised, and he felt that it was necessary to tell Qu Yitong about it.
I don't know if it's because people who practice Xuanling Gong have an excellent appetite, that is, Qu Yitong, who is extremely cold on weekdays, can also eat a lot of things at the dinner table, although it is not as good as fireflies, but the two of them still wiped out a table of food very quickly, you must know that this is what Lin Qi asked the cook to make according to the amount of four people.
Qu Yitong finished breakfast, Lin Qi had already made tea for the two, and after eating and drinking, Qu Yitong looked at Lin Qi and seemed to have guessed that the other party had something on his mind.
"Is there any progress in the questioning of the evil monk of the Heavenly Demon Gate?"
Seeing that Qu Yitong really guessed it, Lin Qi was not hidden, so he nodded.
"This time the Heavenly Demon Gate came to the grassland, but in fact, it was to plan a big thing behind his back, just like the previous Gao Muen said, he wants to deal with Dahua, but not so much to deal with Dahua, but to pull Dahua, the grassland and the twilight snow of the Tianshan Mountains into the whirlpool together!
Listening to Lin Qi's words, Qu Yitong nodded.
"That's right. β
"Auntie, do you know something?"
Hearing Lin Qi's question, Qu Yitong glanced at him, but thought about it slightly.
"If you want to say what you know, it doesn't seem to have any substantive content, but according to my intelligence, it can be seen that some of the forces of the Heavenly Demon Gate have begun to quietly infiltrate the Great Hua Imperial Capital, and some people have even infiltrated the Imperial City and approached Zhao Jing's side. β
"However, I don't know what these people want to do, all kinds of behaviors, it seems that they don't plan to attack Dahua for the time being, but after listening to your information today, I understand that the Heavenly Demon Sect has a bigger plan. β
After speaking, Qu Yitong seemed to be laughing at herself, in fact, as the owner of Dongdao Island, she and Dahua were already hostile, even if Dahua was not concerned, the life and death of the Central Plains people had nothing to do with him, if it weren't for Lin Qi and Firefly, he would not have interfered in the affairs of Dahua and the Heavenly Demon Gate at all.
"Xiao Qi, in your opinion, what is the intention of the Heavenly Demon Gate?"
"If my guess is correct, the Heavenly Demon Gate wants to do the unfinished things in the wilderness again!"
"Ancient fierce beasts, take advantage of the battle between Dahua, the Twilight Snow Clan and the Prairie People, and then use the power of the fierce beasts to catch them all, this Heavenly Demon Gate, heh, it's really ill-intentioned!"
Lin Qi nodded, acknowledging the matter.
"According to the information of the evil monks, they came to the grassland this time to see the Shan Yu of the grassland people, but as for the matter of the beast, they don't know anything, in my opinion, it doesn't look like a fraud, it is estimated that it is because their status is not enough, so they did not get the core information. β
"Heh, not only do you want to use Zhao Jing, but you also want to use Shan Yu of the grassland people, so it seems that these people from the Heavenly Demon Sect are not so much crazy as they are demons!" Qu Yitong sneered, but raised his head again and looked at Lin Qi, "Xiao Qi, what are you going to do?"
"I want to take the Liuli Army and the Northern Army round, and now it is too late to stop this group of people from the Heavenly Demon Gate, in this case, I also have to inform the generals of the Northern Army of this matter first, so that they can prepare early, in case of accidents, although the Sixth Master has temporarily fallen, but the will of the Liuli Pavilion has not fallen, and the spirit of the Liuli Army will also stand forever, whether it is the grassland people or the Heavenly Demon Gate, we will win until the last moment!"
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Qu Yitong raised his eyebrows slightly, although he was suspicious, but in the end he was relieved.
"What's the reaction of the steppe people?"
"Probably last night, the steppe people suddenly withdrew their troops!"
"Withdrawing the army, this is interesting, although the steppe people lost for a while before, but in terms of the mentality and fighting spirit of these barbarians, such a defeat must be found again anyway, such a neat withdrawal of the army, something must have happened, so to speak, Xiao Qi, what do you think?"
After listening to Qu Yitong's words, Lin Qi also nodded in agreement.
"In my opinion, it should be that the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect have already talked to the leader of the grassland people on the opposite side, and successfully moved the other party, otherwise it would be impossible to withdraw the army from Windy City so easily, from this matter, we can also draw two conclusions!"
Speaking of this, Lin Qi paused for a while, and after tidying up a little, he moved on.
"First of all, it is the matter of the Heavenly Demon Gate and the grassland people to discuss, although this matter, from the mouth of the demon monk, there is no information, but from the perspective of the grassland people's reaction, it is absolutely extraordinary, this matter must have a far-reaching impact, otherwise the grassland people will not believe the other party so simply, and then withdraw so neatly, I have also said before, the Heavenly Demon Gate wants to meet Shan Yu, so it seems that they have taken the people of the Heavenly Demon Gate to the royal court of the grassland people! And because of this, I dare to speculate that the conspiracy of the Heavenly Demon Sect must be related to the ancient beasts!"
Lin Qi's analysis also made Qu Yitong more agreeable, and after listening to the game, she also thought about it a little, and then raised her head again.
"What about the second conclusion?"
"The second thing is about the thoughts of the steppe people. As far as I know, these grassland people are more proud, and they will not accept foreign things easily, nor will they trust foreigners so easily, especially the Great Chinese, you know, before this, these people came under the banner of revenge, but now not only did the revenge not succeed, but even lost for a while, and also folded the first warrior in the army here, no matter what, they should not leave so quickly, even so, they can be persuaded by the Heavenly Demon Gate so quickly, in addition to the fact that there is indeed nothing to fight for here in Wind City, there must be other factors!"
"What do you think?" Lin Qi's words really made Qu Yitong think of something.
"The grassland people must also have some conspiracy, but they have no confidence in winning this war, so they urgently need to rely on external forces, so they hit it off with the Heavenly Demon Gate, if this is the case, presumably after seeing Shan Yu, there will be a move soon, so, no matter what they are for, there is not much time left for us. β
After Lin Qi finished speaking, he also frowned, now if the sixth master didn't wake up, he would definitely be able to give perfect advice, but now when there are internal and external troubles, so things can only rely on him alone.
At this time, Firefly suddenly grabbed Lin Qi's hand and put it on her face, only to see her smile slightly, but like a warm sun, shining into Lin Qi's heart, refreshing.
"Xiao Qi, don't worry, I'm still by your side. β
Firefly's words really made Lin Qi feel a lot more at ease, seeing her smiling face, she inexplicably had a sense of peace of mind.
Seeing the two of them like this, Qu Yitong, as an elder, was also very relieved for a while, thinking of herself, although she was a little sad, she still hoped that the two of them could continue like this and keep this beauty forever.
"Xiao Qi, since this is the case, what do you want to do, just do it boldly, from my point of view, I will not participate in these things, and the rest of the things can only be grasped by yourself, this time, I have brought the firefly to you safely, then my task will be completed, I hope you will treat her well, don't make her sad!"
Lin Qi looked at Firefly, Firefly was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two were the same thing.
"Auntie, are you leaving?"
Seeing Qu Yitong showing his intentions, whether it was Lin Qi or Firefly, he was very reluctant for a while.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Qu Yitong also understood the intentions of the two, after so many years of hard work, I didn't expect that the most gratifying thing was to get the relatives of these two sons and nephews, not so much luck, but a gift from God, not only helped her solve the stubborn disease that plagued her life, but even melted the true feelings that had been frozen in her heart with sincerity.
However, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and now, Qu Yitong also knows that she should go, she stood up, walked to the camp tent and lifted the curtain, and looked to the east, her face seemed to be fascinated.
"Well, I still have some things that I have to do myself!"
