Chapter 300: Means and Wisdom
On the gentle slope, the girl was hugging her knees and crying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Dozens of horsemen ran around her, rushed up the gentle slope, and gestured into the distance to signal safety.
After a short time, Ah Heng and his party came to the slope.
"Lord Duke, is this what you call the five-seven girl?" a deep voice sounded, it was Lieutenant General Bugue. He and Meng Dun stayed by Ah Heng's side, their expressions full of exhaustion and worry.
Ah Heng shook his head blankly.
Lieutenant General Buge couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, and the melancholy was even stronger!
Ah Heng: "I'm a blind ......!"
Lieutenant General Bugg patted his head and almost forgot about it! He thought about it and immediately ordered: "Come on, help that girl over...... Belch...... Let the Duke touch ......"
The girl cried even louder.
Monton let out a long sigh, and the old man was already panicking.
Several horsemen jumped off their horses and helped the weeping girl to Ah Heng. Everyone saw that his appearance was very ordinary, and his figure was excellent! But it was enough for the Duke, and he couldn't see it no matter how beautiful he was!
Ah Heng was helped off the horse, and when he heard the other party come to him, he asked with a somewhat complicated expression: "You...... It's five-seven, right?"
The girl just sobbed.
Ah Heng suddenly said to Buge: "Lieutenant General, I have something to ask her, can you let the others avoid it?"
Bug: "No problem......" He waved his hand and told his men to step away!
Ah Heng: "Lieutenant General, I just want to talk to her alone......"
Bug and Monton turned red and retreated, this kid really doesn't give face! But they were curious about what the young duke wanted to say.
At this time, the girl suddenly fell into Ah Heng's arms with an "ah".
Ah Heng was taken aback: "Wuqi, what's wrong with you?!"
The girl just cried, but did not speak.
"She's got her foot broken!" added Bug not far away, and then muttered, "This woman can't be dumb, how can she know how to cry...... But it's a pretty nice hand!"
Monton glanced at the other party and said in a low voice: "Have you ever seen a mute who can cry so subduedly?
Bug glanced sideways at Monton, and also lowered his voice: "Phew, you think it's in Qifeng Tower--Actually, I can already see that this girl is the person the Duke is looking for, isn't this to create an opportunity for the Duke......!
Although Buge's voice was low, how could it hide from Ah Heng and Xiao Jin's ears.
With the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, Ah Heng couldn't help but blush, he took a deep breath and tried to suppress the panic in his heart, because the speculation was so ridiculous, so ridiculous that he felt that he was a madman—a madman who fell into delusions because of his daily thoughts—he didn't know if he would get the answer he wanted from this girl, let alone whether he would be able to bear the pain and disappointment caused by the answer......
Ah Heng said bitterly: "Five-seven girl...... You said...... Does a person really have a soul after death?...... Once, I saw a loved one die in front of me...... Still, she was as ubiquitous as a ghost...... I even felt her tears on my face...... Can you understand what I'm talking about?......"
Cold fingers blocked his lips, and a faint voice of mosquitoes and flies reached his ears: "Lord Duke, I don't understand what you are talking about...... But what you just said scares me...... Lord Duke, I really don't know anything...... Let's go back......" Her body was trembling slightly, as if she was a little out of strength from crying.
Ah Heng sighed and nodded.
Lieutenant General Buge breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered loudly: "Quick, quick, help the Duke and the five-seven girl to the horse, and the five-seven girl has injured her foot...... Well...... A horse will do!"
......
When Xiao Jin followed Ah Heng back to the villa halfway up the mountain in the ranch, he found that it was surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers. War horses neighed, flags were flying, mainly the Ice Plain Army, and there were many soldiers in northern Xinjiang.
Several generals rode up to meet them, and the leader was Shi Qian. The crowd dismounted.
Shi Qian: "See Lord Duke!"
Ah Heng: "Brother Shi has worked hard, how is it?"
Shi Qian shook his head: "The other party is very cunning, and they are all dead soldiers, they have poison hidden in their teeth, and they have all committed suicide!" As for the person in charge of this ranch, that is, the second son of Lord Buge......" Shi Qian paused and glanced at Ah Heng before saying, "It should have nothing to do with this matter." He, like you, my lord, is also a victim, the real hijacker is a man and a woman from the Nanhai clan, the man has not been found, the girl is dead, she committed suicide by poisoning...... In addition, we did not find and found Young Master Guo Wu......"
Ah Heng was silent for a long time, and he was not surprised by this result. He didn't expect the people behind the scenes to be so ruthless, and they would directly kill people and kill people, leaving no tail. It seems that someone has leaked the news!
As for Lieutenant General Buge's second son, Ah Heng did not intend to pursue it. The other party deliberately left this tail, which was nothing more than an attempt to provoke the relationship between him and Lieutenant General Bugue. If he really digs deeper, his opponent will be happy to see it.
As for Guo Wu, Ah Heng had a headache. The only one who could make Guo Wu let down his guard and be taken away quietly was his unconscious fiancée, the county lord of Chiba. Alas! Her future eldest sister-in-law is really not very good! But she still underestimated herself, otherwise she would not have used such childish means against herself! Maybe with this lesson, the next time it will not be so disappointing!
Ah Heng was thinking about it, only to hear Buge sigh: "Lord Duke, the last general is not effective in governance, and he has no way to teach his son, so you are frightened! I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and I will wipe out all the bandits." His posture is very humble, as a heavyweight veteran general in Northern Xinjiang, he doesn't have to call himself "the last general" to Ah Heng at all!
Ah Heng nodded: "There is Master Laubug!"
Bug wanted to speak and stopped: "Lord Duke......"
Ah Heng smiled slightly: "Lord Buge, we are all our own people, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Bug: "General Xiao Lei is still chasing robbers in Tamu City, and now people in Tamu City are panicking and rumors are spreading. In order to avoid unnecessary turmoil and misunderstanding, please ask the Duke to send a message to General Xiao Lei, so that he can hand over the next matter to the last general!"
Ah Heng: "Don't worry, Lord Buge, Brother Xiao is too worried about my safety, so he rashly sent troops to take control of Tamu City." I'll apologize on his behalf! When I return to the city, I'll get them out of the city as soon as I get there!"
Bug: "Your Excellency the Duke is so polite!I wonder when you will return to the city?" He was very worried that the young Duke would not leave!
Ah Heng smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Lord Buge, it won't be too long! To be honest, it's the first time I've seen such a northwest style, with big rivers and horses galloping, standing on thousands of miles of wilderness, it's really refreshing......!"
"Ahem......" Ah Heng was sighing, and suddenly there was a violent coughing sound around him.
Ah Hengqi said: "Brother Shi, what's wrong with you?
Shi Qian hurriedly leaned into Ah Heng's ear and said softly, "Lord Duke, your eyes can't see anything...... How can you pick up the waves of the river and the galloping horses ......?"
Ah Heng suddenly came to his senses and knew that he had opened his mouth, so he hurriedly covered it up: "Of course...... Ahem...... Ahem...... That's just a little bit of my thoughts......"
Buge: "Lord Duke, have you been infected by General Shi Qian's wind and cold?"
Ah Heng nodded without changing his face: "Well, it's possible." Brother Shi, please don't lean so close to me next time you speak, I'm blind, but my ears are not deaf!"
Shi Qian lowered his head in shame: "Yes, Lord Duke, the last general has nothing to consider!"
Ah Heng was very satisfied: "It's good to know that it's wrong! By the way, Brother Shi, how is the purchase of war horses that you negotiated with Master Buge?"
Shi Qian was stunned, when did the Duke order him to buy a war horse with Lieutenant General Buge! Hasn't this matter always been handled by Li Hemp? He immediately saw Ah Heng scratch his nose with two fingers, and he understood: "Ah...... Yes, Lord Duke, it's all the fault of the last general, and I haven't had time to mention two thousand ...... to Lieutenant General Bugue."
Ah Heng coughed and continued to scratch his nose.
Shi Qian was taken aback: "...... Ten thousand, uh, no, it's a matter of 200,000 war horses......"
Buge's heart was dripping blood, 200,000 war horses, this guy really dared to ask for it! He forced a laugh: "200,000 war horses, Lord Duke." Don't you know, all the ranches in our entire Northwest Jingluo Province add up, and they are only 200,000. Now that the army is expanding in northern Xinjiang, war horses are needed everywhere, and I am afraid of ......"
Ah Heng nodded and agreed: "Lord Buge is reasonable! It's okay, don't worry, you can wait slowly! We just stay to help Lord Buge rectify the security situation in the northwest, so as not to have another bad incident of daring to kidnap the Duke of the Empire——"
Bug said with a sad face: "Lord Duke...... Can you borrow a step to speak?"
Ah Heng smiled and nodded.
The generals of the Icefield Legion all laughed, and before they could say anything, another wronged man fell into the Duke's pocket. I saw the two of them walk to the side and muttered for a long time before walking back. The young duke's face was full of spring breeze, and the lieutenant general's steps were heavy.
Xiao Jin watched silently from the side, surprised and amused. She had already guessed Ah Heng's purpose and what he was doing!
This villain, when he was hijacked, thought of selling himself for a good price, and he was forced to buy and sell!
After all, the kidnapping of the Imperial Duke of Real Power on the side of the commander of the army is too appalling, and it is not too much for the Ice Plain Legion to react violently! It is precisely because of this that the Icefield Legion can control Tamu City and besiege the pasture with the power of thunder, of course, this may also be the result of Lieutenant General Bugue's deliberate forbearance.
Judging from Lieutenant General Bugue's reaction to the whole thing, this matter should have nothing to do with this veteran of northern Xinjiang. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the Ice Plains Legion to take control of Tamu City and accept Ah Heng's coercion! However, Ah Heng also reciprocated the favor by not investigating the matter deeply, and also spared Lieutenant General Buge's second son!
Xiao Jin sighed with emotion, Ah Heng's changes exceeded her imagination. Today's Ah Heng is decisive in killing, advancing and retreating in moderation, and using all opportunities to seek benefits anytime and anywhere. When she was still complacent about the success of some small schemes, Ah Heng had already made drastic moves and uprooted the other party! What she did could only be called a "means" at best, but everything Ah Heng did was real "wisdom"!
Ah Heng is no longer the little boy who needs her protection-Xiao Jin's heart is a little lost!
