Chapter 67: An urgent letter from Jia Cheng
After ordering the troops, Chen Shuai led the Great Beijin to ride back to Saicheng.
Lu Xing specially left 5,000 horsemen, in addition to cleaning the battlefield, it was also very useful. On that day, he was besieged and killed by the yellow-robed swordsman and others, and this time the five thousand horsemen were left for their corpses, the bear king was a treasure, and Anmaode was a Taoist realm, and after death, the physical body would evolve into a secret realm.
Ordered five hundred rides all the way to the deep mountains, Lu walked dozens of miles to find the cliff of that day, at this moment there have been a lot of spirits born, rich vitality and aura gathered here, if no one else intervenes, this place will become a blessed land.
Rao is Lan Wu is well-informed, he has never seen such a spacious place, and there are no less than 100 treasures that have exploded in the sea of thieves.
Carrying the armor taken off from the Dongran soldiers and the treasures left here would take three or five days, and Lu Xing would also take advantage of this to recuperate for a while.
Three days later, Kwa Eguan.
Jin Dafu bent down and handed out a customs clearance document, and the guard at the gate opened the document and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he carefully put the silver ticket in his pocket and let him go.
Back in the carriage, the two of them still didn't bring the groom this time, they went to visit the prince of the Northland, if this matter was known to the secret agents of the imperial court, it could be a crime of treason at best.
Feng Liangping acted as a groom and drove away from Kua'e Pass, and it was not until they had walked two miles that the two began to talk.
"Daifuku, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of merchants who trade between the two places, why haven't we met a caravan along the way?"
Jin Dafu poked his head out of the curtain of the car, and when he saw that there was no one around, he dared to speak: "There are many businessmen who go to the north, but they don't take this road, they will go to Lintong Pass." β
"Why? I remember that Lintong Pass is a difficult terrain and should be more difficult to navigate. β
"Hehe," Jin Dafu smiled, "You don't know this." There is a canal outside Lintong Pass, which can take the waterway, and when the Central Plains transported grain to the north, it was through this canal. β
"By the way, do you know where the son is? A few days ago, there was a shortage of soldiers, I heard that King Dongran led his troops out of the customs, and finally came back in embarrassment, looking at the fact that the prince of the world won, but it can't be said to be a miserable victory. β
Feng Liangping squinted at it and praised: "I didn't expect you to have such insight, Dongran Wang Wanli transferred troops to avenge the murder of his son, no matter how much Da Zhou covered his ears and stole the bell, Xuejin City is not a fool in power, so he will naturally deal with it." β
"At the moment, I don't know if the prince has returned to Xuejin City with the army, if he goes back, you and I will have to travel thousands of miles again."
"Boom," the carriage jolted, and the wheels rolled over a corpse, and the two of them were surprised and hurried on their way.
Due to the rivers of blood flowing in the valley, the corpse capital can be piled up in the capital, so Lu Xing let people place the base camp in the deep mountains, just when the sword qi swept away, a little cutting can free up the territory of 5,000 people.
"Childe, the medicinal soup is here, but bear bile is added." Xiao Yu straightened the porcelain bowl, and the top was steaming.
On the bluestone by the lake, Lu Xing was fishing, and when he saw that it was Xiao Yu, he handed over the fishing rod in his hand to Liu Danyang.
Lu Xing took the decoction, which had a faint fragrance of pear blossoms, his eyes narrowed, and familiar memories came to his mind, "Did you two pour aphrodisiacs on me when you were in Zhao Nanxuan, and this matter has not been settled with you yet!" β
Xiao Yu's eyes rolled, and she was about to run away, but Lu Xing grabbed her forearm, and Lu Xing used another force to hold her into his arms and scratch her armpits.
"Ah............h
Lu Xing put it in her ear and ordered: "Be quiet, if you startle the fish of this son, be careful that I will correct you on the spot." β
Xiao Yu was so frightened that she covered her mouth, but Lu Xing's unrelenting offensive made her itch so much that tears hung on the corners of her eyes.
"Childe, someone is here, it seems to be General Lei Ying." Liu Danyang said, coughing again and again, reminding Lu Xing to pay attention to his image.
Lu Xing let Xiao Yu go, and looking back, Lei Ying had never been here in person, and it was the first time today.
Lei Ying tied her hair with a red rope, and the wind raised green silk, adding to her heroic spirit. She walked up to Lu Xing and arched her hand: "Shizi, a letter from Jia Cheng, hurry up." In addition, there are two people in the valley who want to see you, saying that the prince has made an appointment with them. β
"What about faith?" Lu Xing asked.
Lei Ying motioned to the soldier beside him, and the soldier respectfully handed the envelope to Lu Xing.
"Do you want to see each other? If you don't see me, you refuse. β
"See," Lu Xing took the letter and nodded: "Ordinary people avoid me, I'm curious, who wants to see me like this?" β
Lei Ying nodded, and then retreated with the soldiers.
There were three Lu Xing left by the lake again, and the soldiers were fighting fifty zhang away, guarding from afar.
"Take a look," Lu Xing handed the envelope to Liu Danyang and said, "Jia Cheng is in a hurry, it can't be related to Zhao Nanxuan, although you are no longer a saucer now, but it is about your old department, and you still miss your feelings." β
Liu Danyang took the envelope, holding the fishing rod in the other hand, but he couldn't spare his hand.
"Stop fishing, there is no one for half a day, and today's fish will not give face." Lu Xing snatched the fishing rod, and then threw it on the ground at will, and with two fingers together, several sword qi shot into the lake, when even three big fish flipped their bellies and floated to the surface.
Xiao Yu hurriedly brought a long pole net to catch the fish to the shore, and then put it into a bamboo basket.
On the side, Liu Danyang opened the letter with joy, although she did not seek her position, but after getting along, she had feelings for Nanxuan.
The wind tightened, blowing a "chirping" sound on the surface of the lake, the sun was blocked by the mountain, and there was a large shadow on the lake.
"Woo, woo woo......" Liu Dan raised her eyebrows and eyes reddened, her palms holding the envelope were trembling, she rested her head on the dress on her knees, tears and choked can't stop.
Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, and when she saw the envelope in Liu Danyang's hand out of her hand, she reached out and grabbed the envelope so that it wouldn't fall into the lake.
"Sister Liu, what happened, why did you cry so sadly?"
Liu Danyang raised his head, Qingsi stuck to his chin, snot and tears were more than enough, and the makeup painted by Xiao Yu this morning was also spent. She opened her mouth and said in a trembling voice: "Zhao, Nanxuan, it's goneβ"
"What?" Lu Xing was shocked, he took the envelope in Xiao Yu's hand, and just read it word by word.
King Ran led his troops into Jiacheng, surrounded Zhao Nanxuan, bowed and crossbowed, and the troops entered. Xin Yi's martial arts are strong, and he repelled dozens of red-armored soldiers with King Kong bodies by himself, and finally died by ten thousand arrows through his heart without taking a step back. In addition, all the dishes up and down Nanxuan were all self-slaughtered in the building, and no information about the north was leaked. This letter is the last pen of his subordinates, and I hope that when the prince sees this letter, he can help Zhao Nanxuan's brothers collect the corpses and take care of the brothers' families.
"King Ran! How dare you-" Lu Xing's nose was sour, Zhao Nanxuan died for him, and it was he who didn't arrange it to bring them the disaster of killing.
Lu Xing squatted down, wiped away his tears for Liu Danyang, and said with relief: "Don't worry, I'll go back to Jiacheng and help Xin Yi and the brothers collect the corpses, they are martyrs, they died for Beidi, and Beidi will never wronged them." β
"No, Childe still don't go back." Liu Danyang pulled Lu Xing's hand and dissuaded: "The prince should return to Xuejin City, he should hold the military power, the northern barbarians will attack, and the lives of tens of millions of people in the north will be entrusted to the prince alone." β
Liu Danyang stood up, bent over, and said, "Please allow me to leave for a few days, and let me go back to Jiacheng to take care of their affairs." β
Lu Xing's eyes were slightly wet, he grabbed Liu Danyang's arched hand, dragged her into his arms, and said in her ear in the gentlest tone: "You are the maid of this son, if something happens, who can give me back a Liu Danyang?" β
"The matter is settled, come with me."
Lu Xing took the two maids all the way to the barracks, and on the way he saw Feng Liangping and Jin Dafu who were brought by the soldiers, he ignored them and walked towards the camp tent in the middle, which was Lei Ying's general tent.
The two maids stayed outside, Lu Xing lifted the curtain and entered, in addition to Lei Ying, Lan Wu was also in the tent at the moment, and when the two saw Lu Xing, they hurriedly surrendered their hands.
"Lei Ying, gather the soldiers, and follow me to ask the soldiers to praise the pass; Lan Wu, you are just right, you led the light cavalry to mobilize the three black horsemen of Dingliao, Quzuo and Huatai County, and let them press the troops to the five passes of the plain, using the wolf smoke as a signal. β
Lan Wu's eyes were shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Why did the prince have to withhold the customs? The battle between the two places can't be said to be fought, and the division must be famous. β
"Please think twice," Lei Ying hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The prince also knows that the Northern Barbarians are moving, and although the Great Zhou and the Northern Land are secretly at odds, they have been at peace for more than 20 years on the surface, and they have never been on the edge, and this precedent cannot be opened by the prince." β
Lu Xing was silent and handed the envelope in his hand to the two of them to check. He knew very well that this entry was very different, and the news of his killing had already spread, and the imperial court must have responded; If he wants to go to Jiacheng safely, he must lead his soldiers and horses through Kua'e Pass.
After reading the letter, Lan Wu said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll go to transfer troops for the prince, but the Black Cavalry has always only recognized military talismans. β
"Do you want a talisman?" The curtain was lifted, Chu Chu walked in, and threw half of the tiger talisman to Lan Wu, "Take it." β
"Let's go," Lu Xing patted Lei Ying on the shoulder, motioning for her to follow.
Outside the tent, after Feng Liangping and Jin Dafu saw Lu Xing, they hurriedly arched their hands and said, "The grass people have seen the prince." β
"Stay in the army," Lu Xing only glanced at it casually, and his steps did not stop.
Seeing that Lu Xing didn't care, Feng Liangping gritted his teeth and raised his voice: "The prince is going to Jiacheng?" The Red Armor Army has no sign of leaving Youzhou, is it possible for the prince to lead troops into Kua'e Pass? β
Everyone paused, and Lei Ying looked at the two of them coldly, you must know that she brought the person, and it was her fault for not following the rules this time.
Facing everyone's cold gaze, he could still smell the rust smell of the blade, Feng Liangping swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and arched his hand: "The grass people think they have great talents, and they dare not say it, but in the land of a state, no matter how big or small, they can be held in their hands. If the prince wants to go back to Youzhou, please be sure to take the two of us with you. β
Lu Xing listened carefully, and smiled sarcastically in his heart, the person in front of him was a layman who didn't have any ambition, but he didn't pick people up, only said: "Stay in the army first, I don't have time to assess you." β
"It doesn't matter if you have just said it, wait until you go back to the Northland to have its own civil official assessment."
After speaking, Lu Xing left, Jin Dafu's face darkened, and he complained: "It's over, you're so rude, I'm afraid you'll leave a bad image in the heart of the prince." β
"Leave it alone, keep up." Feng Liangping said, dragging Jin Dafu to follow everyone's footsteps.
