Chapter 1226 Mechat

Located at the junction of the city-states of Dooki and Volo, the city of Twista belongs to Douki and is an important trade town between the two places, with a large number of caravans coming in and out every day.

A closer look at this caravan reveals even more problems. Almost every month, the caravan would arrive at the city of Twista with large quantities of grain, and each time it would only take one day to quickly sell the grain and return to the city-state of Volo.

You must know that Dookie has a small population, and his own grain production is already self-sufficient enough, and there is no need to buy a large amount of grain from abroad. It is not difficult to see the suspicion of this caravan through this.

Continuing to investigate this caravan, it was found that the caravan was a caravan of the Amesa family, who in turn were close associates of the lord of the city-state of Volo.

At present, the Dark Flag spies are following the Dookie caravan receiving the grain, to see where they are going to deliver this batch of grain with hidden medicines.

Only five days later, the news came back that the Duki caravan had transported all the grain to the city of Chara and handed it over to the city of Chara.

The news came so that Shangguan Xiu and the others could basically confirm that it was indeed the city-state of Volo that was secretly helping the people of Ningnan to transport supplies and supplies.

The city of Chala is the material hoarding place of the Ningnan army, and there are not only ammunition depots of the Ningnan army in the city, but also grain depots and material depots of the Ningnan army.

The Duki caravan handed over the grain with hidden medicines to the city government of Chara City, which was no different from handing it over to the Ningnan army.

After confirming their own speculation, Luo Ren, Nie Zhen and the others were all furious, and the city-state of Volo really dared to secretly transport supplies for the Ningnan Army under their noses, and they simply didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Luo Ren and others suggested to Shangguan Xiu that they should divide their troops to attack the Voro city-state, at least put pressure on the Voro city-state, so that it would not dare to send supplies to the Ningnan army.

The most active in this regard was Hailey, who repeatedly took the initiative to ask Shangguanxiu, saying that he was willing to personally lead the army of the city-state of Kinsk to crusade against the city-state of Volo.

Hai Li's careful thoughts, how can Shangguan Xiu not understand? Hai Li has 100,000 iron horsemen in her hands, and her combat power should not be underestimated, but after all, she is still under the fence and has no place to live.

If she can take the opportunity of this expedition against the city-state of Volo and annex it in one fell swoop, then she and her army of the city-state of Kinsk will have their own homeland and will no longer be controlled by others in the future.

Shangguan Xiu did not object to Hai Li building a new home in Besa, but the western part of Besa belonged to the sphere of influence of the Solan city-state, and if he wanted to send troops to attack the city-state of Volo, he also needed to know the city-state of Solan.

Recently, the war has been calming down, and there is no need for Shangguan Xiu to be in charge in person, not to mention that there is Luo Ren here, and it is not a problem to command the three armies.

Shangguan Xiu plans to take Hailey to the Solan city-state in person. Before he could leave, the spies of the Duwei Mansion found him first.

The composition of the Duwei Mansion is divided into two parts, one is the ground network, one is the eye of the sky, the scope of activity of the ground network is mainly in the country, it is also the main body of the Metropolitan Guard, and the scope of activity of the eye of the sky is abroad, in modern terms, the eye of the sky is the field department of the Metropolitan Guard.

Shangguan Xiu was approached by a Fengren and two Duki people. The two Duki people spoke fluent wind language, and after seeing Shangguan Xiu, the three of them bowed down and saluted, and said in unison: "Subordinates see Your Highness!"

Shangguan Xiu took the three of them's Duwei Mansion waist card and looked at it. The waist card of Tianyan is not the same as the waist card of the ground net, it is not so eye-catching, it is just a small jade card, and there is no word of Duwei Mansion on it, only a flying eagle is engraved.

And the flying eagle is the symbol of the eye of the sky.

"Your name is Zhou Yan?" Shangguan Xiu handed back the jade plate in his hand to the three of them.

"It's Wei Chen!" Zhou Yan Zhengse said: "Wei Chen is the counselor of the Tianyan Division of the Duwei Mansion. "The counselor is a five-grade official position, and he is already a middle and high-level official in the Duwei Mansion.

"You two are Duki?" Shangguan Xiu rolled his eyes and looked at the two inconspicuous foreign men.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Alto and Jigda replied, bowing to each other.

"The wind whispers are not bad. Shangguan Xiu praised with a smile.

"Although the villain was born in Dooki, he migrated with his family to settle in the Windy Country when he was a child. ”

"No wonder Wind Whisper speaks so authentically. Shangguan Xiu turned his eyes, looked at Zhou Yan, and asked, "Lord Zhou came to me this time, but is there something?"

Zhou Yan first responded, then took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Shangguan Xiu respectfully, and said: "Your Highness, this is a letter from the Ningnan Army intercepted by Olto and Jigda, and the stakes are very high, and the villain does not dare to make a judgment, so he came to Massala and handed the letter to His Highness for review." ”

"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu took the letter, looked at the envelope first, and wrote the words 'Former General Personally Opened (Top Secret)'.

The former general of Ningnan is none other than Xin Jiyao, that is to say, this is a message from Ningnan people to Xin Jiyao. As he pulled out the letterhead, he asked, "Where did you get this letter?"

"Returning to His Highness, it was intercepted in the rear of the Ningnan Army. ”

It turned out that it was not a letter from Ningnan. Shangguan Xiu unfolded the letterhead, and there was only one line of words in it, only a few words.

- 'Ghost Fox Yu Gui Wu, please make a decision to the general.' ’

What does this mean? Shangguan Xiu held up the letter and looked carefully in the direction where the sun was shining, but he didn't find any hidden handwriting, and he asked puzzledly: "Lord Zhou, what does the ghost fox mean by Yu Guiwu?"

Zhou Yan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, Weichen can't solve the mystery. ”

Seeing Shangguan Xiu frowning, Zhou Yan cleared his throat and said: "As far as Weichen knows, 'Ghost Fox' is the name of General Hu by the people of Ningnan, as for this Guiwu, it should be from the Ganzhi Discipline Law, what does it mean here, Weichen really can't think of it." ”

癸 is from the 10 heavenly stems of A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and 癸 in the 癸, and noon is from the twelve earthly branches, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

The year composed of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch is called the Ganzhi method, and the Ganzhi method is calculated from the 'A' of the heavenly stem and the 'son' of the earthly branch, and sixty years is just a reincarnation, and it is counted again from the 'A' and 'Zi', so the sixty years are also called Yijiazi.

According to the literal meaning, it should be Hu Chong in the year of Guiwu, such a sentence that there is no village before and after the store, which is really incomprehensible.

But this letter was sent to Xin Jiyao, and the words top secret were added to it, so this passage is by no means literal, and it must have added code words that only the people of Ningnan themselves can understand.

After listening to Zhou Yan's explanation, Shangguan Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter, he flipped through the letter and looked at it carefully, and asked, "This letter has already been processed?"

"Yes, Your Highness, there is no hidden word found in it. ”

"yes, I see. Shangguan Xiu folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and put the envelope into his pocket casually, he said to Zhou Yan: "Being able to intercept the secret letter of the Ningnan Army shows that you are doing your best, this time you have done a good job, and you should make a contribution to the Duwei Mansion!"

"Your Highness Xie!" the three of Zhou Yan bowed in unison.

Shangguan Xiu turned his head sideways and said, "Reward." ”

With his words, Xiao Jue slapped his face, and a gendarme walked in with a tray, and there was a money bag in the tray, Xiao Jue picked it up, opened it, and poured it out, with a bang, the golden Du Jin coins scattered out of the money bag, and it looked like there were at least hundreds of them.

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, his body was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Highness, Weichen does not dare to take credit, serving the country is the duty of Weichen......"

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Xiu interrupted: "These gold coins are not for you alone, but for the Tianyan brothers of the Duwei Mansion. ”

After a pause, he asked calmly: "You are waiting abroad, and you need to spend and pay everywhere, is the silver that the Duwei Mansion gave you really enough?"

"This ......"

How could Shangguan Xiu not know what the current situation of the Duwei Mansion was? The Duwei Mansion had just been expanded, and the number of personnel had increased considerably, but the amount of money allocated by the imperial court to the Duwei Mansion had not increased much.

It's not that the court is stingy, but that the treasury really has no silver available. Even if the money in the hands of the Duwei Mansion is sufficient, the expenses of the Duwei Mansion are mainly used for counterinsurgency in the country, and the silver that can really be distributed in the hands of Tianyan is pitiful.

"Take it!" Shangguan Xiu said: "As long as Tianyan's brothers are willing to do their best for the imperial court, the imperial court will never treat Tianyan's brothers badly, and in the future, Tianyan's expenses in Duji can be paid from the military salary of the Central Army." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yan and the three of them were so excited that they almost cried on the spot, knelt on their knees together, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen Xie Your Highness Longen." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Let's all go down and rest!"

"Your Highness Xie!

Zhou Yan took the gold coin rewarded by Shangguan Xiu and withdrew from the hall of the City Lord's Mansion with Olto and Jigeda. When the three of them left, Luo Ren and the others asked with puzzled faces: "Brother Xiu, what are the people of Ningnan doing?"

"Hell knows. Shangguan Xiu snorted, shook his head, he stood up, and said: "If you want to say that you have the best understanding of the people of Ningnan, Lao Hu is the most thorough, otherwise the people of Ningnan will not give him the nickname of a ghost fox, it just so happens that I am going to go to the city-state of Solan, before I go, I can meet with Lao Hu first." ”

Hu Chong is not a few years older than Shangguan Xiu, and is the same age as Nie Zhen and Cai Huang, but Hu Chong is an old man, and Shangguan Xiu, Luo Ren and others are also used to calling him Lao Hu.

Hearing that Shangguan Xiu was going to see Hu Chong, Luo Ren said excitedly: "Speaking of which, Lao Hu and I haven't seen each other for more than a year. ”

Shangguan Xiu understood that he was deliberately saying this to himself, so he smiled and said, "Ah Ren, this time you can defend the city in Masala with peace of mind." ”

Luo Ren had expected this to be the result, but he still sighed helplessly.

This time they went to Xi Orun, Shangguan Xiu and Hai Li did not bring any entourage, mainly because they had to pass through the Ningnan Army defense line in the east, and it would be inconvenient to bring an entourage.

On the evening of that day, Shangguan Xiu and Hai Li set off for the forward position, and when they were about to reach the front of the two armies, Hai Li asked a little nervously: "Ah Xiu, how do we pass through the defense line of the Ningnan Army?"

As soon as her words fell, the spirit armor had condensed on Shangguan Xiu's body, and then, with a hula, a pair of huge wings spread out behind his back, and before Hai Li could react, Shangguan Xiu grabbed Hai Li's waist with one hand, and his body had risen from the ground and soared into the air.

He took Hailey and flew smoothly through the first and second lines of defense of the Ningnan Army, and when he flew to the third line of defense, he heard the sudden sound of a rapid alarm bell from the position of the Ningnan Army below. It didn't take long for the sound of firearms on the ground to be chaotic.

Shangguan Xiu and Hai Li were at high altitude, and at night, the soldiers on the ground couldn't see it very clearly, and when the projectile shot by the fire gun hit the height where they were, the force was already pitiful, and it hit the spirit armor, only making a light clanging sound.

For the volleys of fire guns one after another below, Shangguan Xiu didn't pay attention to it at all.

After a while, the sound of shooting in the position of the Ningnan Army suddenly changed, and at the same time, the projectiles that flew into the sky became full of force, hitting Shangguan Xiu's wings and spirit armor, crackling, and sparks splashing everywhere.

This is not a firecracker, this is the shooting of a musket! Through the projectile hitting his body, Shangguan Xiu could clearly feel that the force of the projectile was more than doubled, and the size of the projectile was slightly larger than that of the firecracker.

In the Ningnan Army, there was even a large-scale musket unit hidden, which Shangguan Xiu never expected.

But when he thought about it, he wasn't surprised. At the beginning in Beijun, the alchemist's gun-making blueprints were stolen by Xin Jiyao. Through the alchemist, you can mass-produce muskets, so the Ningnan people who have already stolen the blueprints can do the same. For mobile phone users, please browse M.
