Chapter 437: Changes in the City
"Under the surname of Bai Mufeng, he is a Jiangnan person. www.biquge.info"After the man woke up slowly, he touched the red marks on his neck that were strangled by the belt, glanced at Duren, and immediately understood. He looked at Duren, and saw that he was dressed in unusual clothes, although he didn't know where the other party came from, but he also knew that he was not a flat-headed person, so he arched his hand again and said, "Thank you, Lord for saving your life." ”
Du Lun looked at Bai Mufeng carefully. The man was about twenty-five years old, with a thin face and a vegetable-colored face. His eyes are as black as paint, his eyebrows are distinct, his whole face is full of intelligence, his hands are slender and white, and he is obviously not doing rough work - I think about it, he should be a pampered son, but I don't know whether it is the middle of his family or the broken city of Fengzhou, which makes him fall to the point of suicide.
Bai Mufeng saw that Du Lun only nodded, so he forced a laugh twice and said, "Even if the adults don't say it, I know what the adults want to ask." ”
He's a smart guy. Du Lun had a bottom in his heart, so he said: "I see that you are young, what is there that you can't think of, and you want to go to a dead end?"
Bai Mufeng looked at the "adult" in front of him, and secretly thought that this person was about the same age as himself, but how could he talk in an old-fashioned manner, and it was no wonder that he could be in a high position, so he said: "Don't hide it from my lord, my ancestors have been doing business in Jiangnan for generations, and I only took the opportunity of less grain and materials in the north to do some small business in Fengzhou this year." Unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly, the guards of Fengzhou City were too unreasonable, and said that they would not give a cent of the silver to Xia, and sent soldiers to rob all the materials brought by Xia, and then drove Xia out of the city...... Alas...... I was cornered, and I didn't have a face to go home to see my parents, and I couldn't think about it for a while, so I ......"
That's a reasonable statement. Seeing Bai Mufeng's sincere face, Du Lun secretly thought that this person might have really touched his head, but since he was bullied by the people of Fengzhou City, he would never talk to them again. What's more, this person is from Jiangnan, and most of them are no longer from the Zhan Dynasty.
Bai Mufeng said that he was sad, and his tears fell "crackling" again: "In these years, there have been wars and chaos, and it is difficult to do business at home. Now it's folded again...... I also know that begging for death is a coward's move, but it's just ...... Alas...... I really don't know what to do. He wiped his tears with his sleeves while crying, and the sleeves were full of dust, and when he wiped it, his handsome face suddenly became a cat's face, which made people look angry and funny.
Du Lun said: "You don't have to worry, the more chaotic the world, the more opportunities, as long as you have the ability, why not worry about turning over? Bai Gongzi, I can't hide it, I am an official of the Western Dynasty, and I happened to save you by passing through here, and it is also fate." ”
"Western Dynasty officials?" Bai Mufeng was stunned, "So, the Luoyan Pass has been broken?"
Du Lun saw that Bai Mufeng was a little frightened, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, we Western generations are not so cruel as rumored, and we are always reasonable." Bai Gongzi, I don't know if you can tell me what the city of Fengzhou is like now?"
Bai Mufeng looked at Du Lun blankly, stunned for a long time, and then said, "This ...... It didn't take long to go down to Toyosu City, and I'm afraid that what I said wouldn't help the adults much. ......Before he had finished speaking, he saw the soldier driving the car suddenly whistle outside.
That was the signal that they had made an appointment with the horses, and Du Lun came back to his senses: he had said this to Bai Mufeng, but he had ignored the sound of horses' hooves coming from the dirt road.
One more person on your side will give you more certainty. Du Lun gestured to Bai Mufeng, telling him not to be nervous, and then moved out of the carriage with his hands on both handrails.
The soldier who drove the carriage hurriedly turned around and helped him out, secretly wondering why it was easy for Du Daxue to get in and out of the carriage on weekdays, but it was so troublesome at the moment - but he didn't know that Du Lun was always suspicious of Bai Mufeng, and he was deliberately concealing his identity as a formation leader.
At this time, the scout had already entered the barren grass, and the spy turned over and dismounted, saw Du Renna's head bowing down, and said: "Master Du, something is wrong! Fengzhou City can no longer go, let's turn around and go back as soon as possible!"
"Oh?" Duren was not in a hurry, "you speak slowly, and no one is chasing you right now." ”
The spying's voice was heard by Bai Mufeng, and he also got out of the carriage, and when he saw that the probe horse was so shocked that he couldn't say a complete word, he opened his mouth first: "My lord is from the Western Dynasty, and I have also heard of the war in the north...... Alas, the city of Fengzhou is now strong and strong, and there are reinforcements from the army of Zhao Gong, it is indeed ...... It's a hard bone. It was precisely because of the 20,000 horses of Zhao Gong that the original grain and grass in the city were not enough, so the guards took the generals to forcibly levy them. Alas...... Under is a businessman, the word is the head, and he will never deceive adults. ”
"Reinforcements from Duke Zhao's army?" Du Lun's face changed, and he hurriedly looked at the spies. The spy nodded, confirming Bai Mufeng's words: "According to the small inquiry, Zhao Gong originally led troops to capture the city. But somehow, the whole army turned to surrender, and Zhao Gong also said that he was bewitched by a subordinate general surnamed Jiang, so he was dazed for a while and led the troops to the king. The head of the person surnamed Jiang is now hanging above the north gate of Fengzhou City, and he looks at it from a small ...... It may have been cut down for less than two hours. ”
In a short period of time, it was not easy for this spy to find out so many things. Du Lun gave him an approving look and asked, "Where is Zhao Gong now?"
The spy said: "I don't know, please forgive the little ......."
Duren waved his hand and said, "That's it, you've done your best." Since there is no need to negotiate, let's go back to the barracks, explain the situation, and make plans as soon as possible. ”
Bai Mufeng said: "My lord, that's down ......."
Du Lun smiled and said: "Bai Gongzi will naturally go back with me, if I let you go at this time, you won't be at ease to go." Rest assured, this trip won't let you run in vain. ”
Bai Mufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief: he already knew that the soldiers and horses of the Western Dynasty were nearby, and if Du Lun didn't take him back, he would kill people. Although he had plans to commit suicide, but after Duren's relief, he experienced the discomfort of dying, and at this time, he was more desperate than anyone else, and it was better not to die if he could not die.
Du Lun didn't pay any more attention to Bai Mufeng's words. All his attention was on the news reported by the spies: if he didn't see Zhao Gong, the most likely thing was that Zhao Gong had been placed under house arrest -- he had made a big mistake, how could the people of the imperial capital forgive him so easily? However, the people of Fengzhou City deliberately concealed this news, which was obviously a rat trap for the troops brought by Zhao Gong, and they could only treat each other in this way. However, if you can do this, unless there are people from the imperial capital next to Zhao Gong, you can take it so cleanly.
