Chapter 69: The Soldiers Are Coming
The rest went well. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After confirming Sun Chenghuan's "paladin" identity, the fat general seems to be particularly concerned about his affairs.
Almost immediately, there was a change of guard for the two thousand-man teams that supervised the southern and northern sides of the Valley of the Kings.
At this time, Su Su once again exerted its own spiritual exploration function, just standing at the door, watching the complaining soldiers who moved out of the barracks overnight and marched in the Valley of the Kings, and from time to time informed Sun Chenghuan to write down one name after another.
After that, this list was handed over to the fat general by Sun Chenghuan.
You don't have to "do it" all these people right away, but at least isolate them temporarily, so that they don't have access to open and close doors......
And the night passed quickly.
It was noon the next day.
"The people outside have sent an order, saying that the army that has made an appointment with the general is going to enter the customs in advance. ”
The herald handed a document into the hands of the fat general, who was sitting in the study of the room, looking very busy, but actually had nothing to do.
"Make an appointment in advance?"
The fat general glanced at Sun Chenghuan, who was sitting next to him, and his face was very ugly.
"Yes, yes...... Already honoring your ...... Person. The herald's expression was also strange.
"Tell them that the soldiers can't go over for the time being, and that the leading general will come first and meet with me. How can there be a reason that you don't even see anyone, and you have to pass the test directly!" The fat general looked unhappy.
Soon, though.
"Wait a minute...... I haven't gotten up yet, and you don't dare to let them go for the time being. ”
The fat general stopped the herald and gave a new order.
“...... Good. ”
To be able to do this kind of work as a herald, in addition to being quick with hands and feet, quick reaction is also a necessary element.
The fat general has never been so "diligent", and no one will believe nonsense such as meeting and passing the test.
It's more credible to say that you didn't wake up.
So, the herald didn't ask why, just agreed, and then trotted away.
"I'm going to lure their general over?" the fat general asked Sun Chenghuan.
"It's better to be like that. Sun Chenghuan nodded, "Isolate him from his subordinates...... Alternatively, it would be nice to find an excuse to let Princess Jarro advance into the Valley of the Kings. ”
"It's a bit hard. The fat general shook his head, "I can't think of any reason for His Excellency Nioh's heir to come and pay a visit to me...... That's about the same as looking for death. ”
"You could say that you have to make sure you're in the queue before you're allowed to pass, and that's just that...... What did you say someone assassinated you last night?" Sun Chenghuan suddenly thought of an excuse that should be a good one.
“...... Paladin, are you the truth. "The fat general is happy.
"Then they will say that His Excellency Nioh is going to pass by here, and you will say that you want to see if His Excellency Nioh's tiger talisman is the same as the one you have in your hand. Sun Chenghuan laughed.
"Tiger talisman, she won't give the tiger talisman to the general with a soldier, will she?" the fat man's expression froze.
"It's okay, it won't. Because the tiger talisman is in my hand. Sun Chenghuan shook his head with a smile.
The fat man was stunned again.
"I didn't know that you were actually a follower of the Holy Maiden Cult, and you prepared the military order of Marshal Antarius, the tiger talisman of His Excellency Nioh, and the sword in my hand...... Three things that are ready to force you to commit. Sun Chenghuan sighed with a helpless expression, "As a result, the knife was used, and the other two were not used at all." ”
"Marshal Antarius also gave you military orders?"
"Hmm. I came on General Windsor's warhorse. Sun Chenghuan nodded.
"The Windsor family...... That's the most loyal retinue of the Nioh family. The fat general nodded, "Since the marshal also has a military order, then I have more confidence." ”
"Thank you. Sun Chenghuan smiled and nodded. "If the matter on the Kaxiu side is resolved, maybe later today...... I may be able to introduce you to a VIP. ”
"Oh?" the fat general's eyes lit up.
A little excited for a moment.
......
Sure enough, after the herald spread the news that the fat general was still asleep and didn't get up, it seemed that everyone took it for granted......
It's just that the fat man dragged on here, and while preparing to enter the Valley of the Kings outside the gate, Cassiu, who had to guard against the attack of the pursuers who were getting closer and closer to them, couldn't afford to wait.
He was now like a grasshopper on a hot pan.
After a few minutes, the soldiers in charge of receiving them will be urged, and then they will get a reply that "the general is still resting".
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Cassius couldn't wait.
Again, he found the herald and told him with a serious face that if he didn't let anyone go over, he would go to him for trouble.
"We don't dare to invite the general, the commander who was originally stationed at the North Pass yesterday is still locked up because he disturbed the general's rest! Not only is the commander himself imprisoned, but we also have to change guards with them overnight. The herald's words seemed a bit evasive. "If you're in a hurry...... Why don't you go and tell the general to get up? No one here would dare to touch this mold. ”
Cassius was on the verge of rushing straight into the Valley of the Kings.
If it weren't for the soldier's insistence that Cassius was going, he would have had to go by himself.
"Why can't I even bring my personal guard?"
Cassiu's words were filled with anger and vigilance.
“...... Anyway, you just can't bring it. The herald's tone was a little evasive.
It's like "I'm just lying".
Sure enough, this kind of look can't be hidden from Cassiu.
"What the hell is going on?" Cassiu's expression was gloomy.
He felt like he was being tricked.
"Yesterday...... Well, don't tell anyone what I'm saying. The herald looked around and whispered, "Last night the general was assassinated by someone." ”
"What?"
Cassius froze.
"The general has been wounded a little, and is now tracking down the Assassins in the Valley of the Kings, so you will not be able to enter for a while. The herald sighed and shook his head, "Anyway, you don't have military rations, so just wait." In two days, when the Assassins' affairs are settled, you will be able to pass. ”
"In two days?" Cassiu's face was ridiculous.
He couldn't afford to wait two hours!
"The Valley of Kings is nearly a dozen kilometers long, and you know, general, although we claim to be a town guard general and a team of 10,000 people, we are actually ...... It's just two thousand-strong teams. How can it be searched so quickly!" The herald looked helpless, "In addition, the assassin's martial arts skills are very high, and he can be caught in two days, it is all because the town guard general is angry this time, and no one dares to be lazy." ”
"No, I'm escorting His Excellency Nioh here! I can afford to wait, I can't let His Excellency Nioh wait, right?"
Jarro was finally lifted out by Cassiu.
"Nioh, Liu's ......"
"You don't have to worry about that. Cassiu made an unfathomable look.
Indeed, what do you do with a herald saying this!
"That...... Otherwise, the general, you go to the customs and talk to our general in person to see if he can let you clear the customs, or you can go to ask His Excellency Nioh for a token or something, so that our general will pay attention to it, otherwise our general will definitely not let you go. ”
"What token ......?"
"Something that can prove Nioh's identity, something that our general has to take orders......"
"Tiger Fu, but do you generals know each other?"
"I think I still know it. The herald's face was a little bad, "Although our Valley of Kings is located in a remote ......"
"Well, I'm not talking about that. Cassius interrupted the herald, "You're here and waiting for me." ”
......
Kasiu went straight to Jarro and relayed all the things the herald had told him, 1510, to Jarro, and then asked Jarro to lend him the Tiger Talisman.
"The Tiger Talisman is the only token my father left me, and there is no way I can let it leave me. ”
Jarro refused so righteously.
Cassius was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't refute this reason.
"Why don't I go and talk to His Excellency the general in person, and let him let us in?" Jarro saw Cassiu's embarrassment, smiled and helped him think of a solution, but she was not sincere in helping him out of the siege, "By the way, General Cassiu, didn't you say that you arranged this here, as long as we get to the Valley of the Kings, we will be safe?"
"This ......" Cassiu was even more embarrassed.
"I can't go into battle to fight, solve this negotiation problem, I'd better go!" Jarro gave a character to this matter, "This is my order. ”
"You can't bring guards in the Valley of the Kings now, it's too dangerous for you to go in alone!"
"Neither can my personal guard?"
"This ......"
"I'll negotiate it myself. Jarro waved his hand at Kasiu, an expression that you can't do this.
Cassius felt bored.
He knew that he couldn't let Jarro leave his Chinese army now, but he didn't dare to take Jarro as a hostage now.
Her 100-strong guards, though small in number, were all strong.
After two or three days of rapid marching, his own army was tired and boiling, and this guard of Jarro was still talking and laughing when he was just stationed......
Now, with this 100-strong guard, it is estimated that this young girl, who is not very old but does not look easy to deal with, can defeat her army of nearly 20,000 people.
Only when they entered the Valley of the Kings, and then they didn't have to worry about the pursuers behind them, could they free up their hands to clean up the guards of Jarro.
It wouldn't be a good idea to let Jarro leave on her own now, but if you could separate her from her guards for the time being......
Cassius felt that it was not entirely unacceptable.
"Then I'm sorry for you. ”
Kasho bowed in a proper manner.
