Chapter 57: The Messenger
Just when Zhang Yuan and the others were still struggling to find their way in the cold rain forest plane, Jinguan, as the western center of the Kircher Empire, welcomed a group of special guests.
King He Yu is the second prince of the Ganghe Empire, that is, the younger brother of King Hebi. Of course, the relationship between the succession to the throne can be seen from the names of these two princes. It's just that now it seems that King He Bi can't be the King of Ganghe for the time being, after all, his whereabouts are still unknown.
Therefore, King He Yu had already changed his name to King He Yu before he came, although this was not his original intention. However, this time, as the representative of the mission to Kitcher, his name is still that of King Hoyo. For Kicher's hosts, there is no need to change the name, and there is less taboo. As for He Yuwang himself, keeping his original name is a sign of respect for his brother.
He always believed that his brother was not dead, but he did not know the news of the surrender of the Gangga army, and hid in Kircher. Moreover, when he mentioned King Hebi in front of others, he no longer used the term "brother Wang", just because the word sounded very similar to the dead brother.
"Stop! What do you do? "When the legation, escorted by the army, arrived at the city of Jinguan, the defenders of the entire western city wall moved into action. The gates were closed, and the walls were densely packed with soldiers. At the same time, a sergeant major with two soldiers came briskly from the city gate and stopped the team with a shout.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a deliberately prepared scene.
King He Yu pursed his lips and didn't even get out of the carriage. Ganghe's mission came to visit, and he had already passed through a Hansai city, and he would actually be stopped at Jinguan, and he was not stupid, how could he not see what the other party was doing. Besides, it was Hanse's army who was in charge of escorting, and he didn't intend to intervene in this kind of thing that would throw the face of the Quiche himself.
Sure enough, one of the knights in the escort rode all the way to the sergeant, and he turned over and jumped off the horse, and coincidentally, stepped on the sergeant's foot.
"I'm sorry." Si Wei said lightly, took off his helmet and clipped it under his armpit, and then casually took a piece of official document from the hand of the accompanying soldier next to him, and handed it to the sergeant major very casually.
The sergeant major took a deep breath and took the official document from Swei. If he changes to someone else, he will naturally scold the other party and let him know that he knows that he is powerful. However, the person in front of him is the eldest son of the chief of defense of the Western Military Department, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the heir of the future military system of the western region.
What's more, what he did this time was not authentic, and it really made Si Wei lose face.
So even if Si Wei rode up to him on a horse and deliberately stepped on his feet, even from beginning to end, he didn't look at him directly, he just dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
The sergeant major, who had known that there was a mission coming, pretended to look at the official document a few times, and then made a gesture, and the soldiers behind him saw this, turned around and ran towards the city gate.
"I'm sorry, it's our dereliction of duty, I'll arrange for the people below to let me go."
Si Wei snorted, his eyes glancing at the carriage behind him, he knew that now King He Yu was sitting inside watching the joke. This performance must be the self-made decision of the generals under his father Sibi, but it may not be without Sibi's acquiescence.
This is the dismount.
Si Wei sighed, he had seen the eldest prince of Ganghe before, but now the king of He Yu, who was sitting safely in the carriage, was different from his straw bale brother. Since this King He Yu arrived in Hanse, he has been silent, but there has always been a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and Si Wei can't help but feel a little worried.
Perhaps we should take the opportunity of this peace negotiation to hold King He Yu hostage in Kitcher, and if the tiger is released like this, I am afraid it will not be a good thing.
King Heyu could faintly see Swei's movements through the gauze tent in front of the carriage. Seeing the other party's figure return to the horse, he was obviously a little disappointed, neither scolded nor embarrassed, making him feel like he had missed a good show.
The gates of the city opened again, and the Gangga mission, escorted by the Hanse army, slowly drove into the castle.
When the mission entered the city, it turned onto a street that was not bustling but was flanked by small buildings, and drove north along this street.
This road was designed a long time ago, so that the Gangga mission would not be able to swagger through the city, but it would also make them lose sight of the defenses on the city walls. Moreover, the end of the road is a vacant lot in the northwest of the city, which is not far from the military camp in the southwest corner, making it difficult for the other party to find out the military situation and monitor the opponent's whereabouts at any time.
Swei escorted the mission to the place all the way to the place before leading his soldiers straight to the barracks in the southwest.
He sat on horseback, stretched out his hand and touched what he had in his bosom, and his mind drifted away little by little, leaving his mount to walk slowly.
After entering Jinguan City, Si Wei has not been wearing a helmet, so when he was still far away, the soldiers on duty at the gate of the barracks recognized Si Wei.
One of the soldiers walked up to Swei with a flattering look on his face and said flatteringly, "My lord, may I ask you what is the matter?" ”
Si Wei was disturbed by this, and suddenly broke away from his complicated thoughts and looked at the soldiers in front of him.
"What did you just say?"
"Well, sir, is there anything wrong with you?"
Si Wei glanced at the soldier in front of him twice more and asked, "Where is the chief chief?" ”
The soldier pondered for a moment, and then replied, "The chief is in the barracks, please come with me." ”
"What do you call me?" Instead of moving forward immediately, Swei asked suddenly.
"Great, sir?" The soldier was about to lead the way, and when he was asked, he was immediately stunned and stammered.
Si Wei took a deep breath, a look of wanting to say something, and after a few seconds, he said, "Call the general." ”
"Yes, General!"
Si Wei sighed, why is the army under the direct jurisdiction of the Western Military Department like this. The upper limit is high, but the lower limit is ridiculously low. The elite is like the cavalry unit led by Li Yanzhang before, of course, it is strong and has nothing to say, but the soldiers on duty here do not look like soldiers at all.
But Si Wei only sighed, after all, this is not his own jurisdiction, and he doesn't like to meddle with this kind of nosy.
After Swei had arranged all the Hanse soldiers who were following him, he followed the soldier who led the way to the barracks where Sbi worked. When they reached the barracks, they saw Sibi's guards standing guard at the door, so Siwei sent his guide away and walked up alone.
Sibi's personal guards are all from the Si family, so they naturally know Si Wei, and the posture of the two personal guards did not change, but when Si Wei approached, he bowed his head slightly and said: "I've seen the eldest young master!" ”
Si Wei nodded, pushed the door and walked in, Sibi sat in front of the door, flipping through some papers in his hand, which didn't look like a document from the military department.
"Father." When Sbi heard Sway's voice, he looked up and looked at it, and then lowered his head to look at what he was holding.
"You're here, come and take a look at these things, they're all things from the Prayer Society." Sibi lowered his head and pushed the few pieces of paper in his hand towards Si Wei, who walked quickly to the table, picked up the papers and looked at them.
Si Wei's eyes widened after looking at it for a while, these were all letters from the Prayer Society and the Prayer Photon Society within the Western Army Demon. Not to mention how my father got these letters, but the content on them surprised Siwei very much.
"This, is what is written on these letters credible?" Si Wei asked eagerly.
"Which part are you referring to?" Instead of answering immediately, Spie asked rhetorically.
Si Wei put the letters back on the table, pointed to one of them and said, "The Prayer Society escaped from the royal capital under the arrangement of the Northern Military Headquarters, but why did the Prayer Society escape route not to the north, but to our west?" ”
Spie picked up a few letters and slowly sorted them out before replying, "Because the filth of the Northern Military Headquarters and the Prayer Society has long been known to the people of the Temple. Therefore, if you run to the north, you will definitely be blocked by the people of the temple, and only if you come to the west, you will not only have a chance to escape, but you can also replenish fresh blood with the western army demon. ”
"Shall we tell the Shoren of the temple about this?"
"Nope." Si Wei waved his hand and said, "The Prayer of Doom will only be with the Western Temple dog-eat-dog, and for our Western Military Department, it can be said that there will be all kinds of harm and no benefit." It's just that the northern military headquarters also sent people to protect and monitor the prayer meeting. ”
Sibi raised his eyes and looked at Si Wei, with a little disappointment on his face, this eldest son is good at everything, but the reaction to political things is too slow, in other words, it is slow.
Sibi waved his hand: "That's it, don't talk about these things, these have nothing to do with you." You've delivered the mission, when are you going to go back? ”
Siwei didn't answer immediately, but took out a crystal clear stone from his bosom and gently placed it in front of Sibi.
"What is this?" Sbi looked at this thing a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Blood amber, this is left behind by the blood drinkers who dragged the Ganghe army for nearly a day in the first battle of Saimenxia. Unfortunately, I didn't know his name until the end, and this time I plan to fulfill his last wish and send this blood amber to the land of the Hacklanders. It seemed to take a lot of courage for Swei to speak her mind.
"Oh? Who will take over your position? Sibi was not in a hurry to refuse, but asked rhetorically.
"I recommend Lai to take over, it just so happens that he was also involved in the fight this time and has some knowledge of Hanse's situation. And he has a lot of combat experience, so he should be able to do it as Iron's deputy. ”
Sibi nodded: "Well, I will not only persuade you, but also do what you want." I know you've got more than that, but it's always good to go out and see something like that. So when are you going to leave? ”
"Don't worry, I still have something I want to talk to Si Zhi, and I ask my father to arrange it, after all, I can't break the rules of the Western Army Demon."
"Okay, then you can stay here for a while now, and I'll arrange it when Si Zhi is free."
