Moonland City (2)
Xiao Ce quietly glanced at Feng Zhe, who was eager to try, Feng Zhe saw his eyes and stood back with a weak heart, the generals present were all people who had been with Xiao Ce for a long time, Xiao Ce was Xiao Ce, and King Rui was King Rui, not to mention that no one wanted to take such a thankless errand.
Xiao An saw the reactions of these people, his eyes skimmed, and his gaze finally fell on Li Hanning:
"It's better for General Li to go with me, so that I can also dispel the suspicions of the soldiers guarding the city gate."
Feng Zhe glanced at Li Hanning and always felt that something was wrong, it was not safe for him to go, although Li Hanning had higher martial arts, how could he be safer than him?
"How to offset? General Lee has a good reputation. ”
After all, in addition to the one outside the Sai, there is currently such a famous female general in the Central Plains, Li Hanning's reputation in many places is even more prosperous than that of him, the king of Rui, usually if he doesn't expose his skills, it's okay, in case there is a fight, the Luoyang City army is stationed not far from Yueqi City, anyone can guess her, and she is a dignified general who will not enter the city for no reason at this time, and the natural identity of the people she wants to protect is above her, and those people can easily guess.
When Xiao Ce heard him mention Li Hanning, he probably knew what he was paying attention to, and couldn't help frowning at Xiao An Ze again, wanting to advise him to die as soon as possible:
"If you really want to go, why don't I go with you?"
Unexpectedly, this sentence was originally a threat, but when it came to Xiao Anze, it became a sentence of concern, and he hurriedly waved his hand to refuse his brother's "kindness" and refused:
"I know that the second brother is worried about me, but there are wanted portraits of the second brother everywhere in Yueqi City, and the second brother and I are afraid that we will be found at the city gate, so it is better to change someone to accompany me."
Needless to say, everyone in this tent is.
Xiao Ce was just about to speak, but here Li Hanning saw that Xiao An mentioned himself, and he didn't want Xiao Ce to be in a dilemma, although there was some danger in entering the city at this time, but if compared to the income that Xiao An Ze just mentioned, it would be a good deal if he could come back safely, not to mention that the other generals did have important things to do in the barracks, and the only one who was idle at the moment was her.
Li Hanning saluted Xiao Ce, and then said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Highness, I have been in Luoyang before, and I have just returned to the barracks, many things need to be familiar, it will take time, compared to General Feng and the military division recently, there is nothing to do, if the Third Highness needs it, I can naturally enter the city with the Third Highness, Your Highness can rest assured, with me with me, I will definitely protect the Third Highness safe and sound." ”
Xiao An glanced at her from a distance, and seemed to be very satisfied with what she said, sure enough, it was the general of Huai'an who had followed Li Zhao all the way from Chang'an to kill before, and it was indeed his second brother's right-hand man.
Xiao Ce looked at Li Hanning with some reproach, originally he was blaming and disciplining his younger brother, it didn't matter if she didn't help, she even leaned towards that side openly, forget it, since one is willing to beat the other, why should he come to be this wicked person who can't do anything well.
"Well, since you two have to go, be careful on the road over there."
At the end, he still looked at Li Hanning with some unease:
"You bring this close-fitting with you, if you really encounter any danger in the city, don't hold it yourself, use the fireworks as a signal, and we will all respond outside the city."
Li Hanning took a step forward and took a bamboo pipe from his hand, she had seen this thing before, even in the daytime, the fireworks in it were very obvious ten miles away.
Li Hanning bowed his head and responded: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely bring the Third Highness back safely." ”
Naturally, the fewer people entering the city this time, the better, and the less likely it is to startle the snake, so Xiao An also brought Li Hanning out alone, in order not to attract people's eyes, when Li Hanning entered the city with Xiao Anze, he was dressed in women's casual clothes, and they were mixed in the businessmen who came and went, and they didn't look outstanding.
While waiting to enter the city, Xiao An glanced at Li Hanning on the side: "General Li's dress doesn't look like a folk woman." ”
Li Hanning looked down at his body when he heard this, why didn't he look like it? This is what she bought with others for a tael of silver near Yueqi City last night, and she didn't bring any jewelry on her head, and even the bun she combed today was modeled after other people's words, Li Hanning checked it carefully, and always felt that it was impossible to miss any of them, so she glanced up at Xiao Anze, and asked with some confusion:
"What's wrong with me?"
Xiao An looked at her truthfully and said, "Looks, look at the people in front of you, and then look at General Li himself, the murderous aura in his eyes is too heavy." ”
Li Hanning was choked for a while, and then he reacted, and simply said indifferently: "The killing nature is really heavy, and it can't be changed, if the officers and soldiers guarding the city find out after a while, it can only be that they are unlucky." ”
This sentence is indeed very similar to what she can say, Xiao An smiled when he heard this: "Although General Li rarely speaks when he is in the camp tent, he is a very interesting person outside, no wonder my second brother likes you, and he must also find it very interesting when he is with you." ”
Li Hanning was stunned, Xiao An usually looked lazy, but in fact, his heart was as fine as dust without a trace, no one had ever told him this, but he could deduce from a few eyes that when it came to Xiao Ce's matter, Li Hanning neither admitted nor denied it, just stood quietly and listened to him.
Xiao An said truthfully: "But I am still very grateful for you to come to Yueqi City with me, except for you in that camp, most of the other generals are my second brother's people, my second brother is not allowed, they dare not answer my words casually, among so many generals, only General Li is different." ”
Li Hanning knew what he wanted to say next, the two brothers were actually very strange, obviously thinking about each other and caring about each other, but when the words came to their mouths, they always had thorns in their mouths, as if they would be uncomfortable if they didn't prick each other:
"Actually, it's not all as His Royal Highness said, the other generals also have some other concerns, such as if there is really a million in the city, if you don't protect the Third Highness, the other generals will be to blame for their deaths, I don't have such concerns, I have half a gold medal for avoiding death given by the Second Highness."
Xiao An smiled again, and said again: "It turns out that this is the reason, I thought - forget it, there is nothing to think." ”
He had only spoken half of what he had said, and the rest was never spoken, for they were not far from the gate of the city, and in two more they would have entered the gate.
The soldiers guarding the city took the customs clearance diploma they had prepared in advance from Xiao Anze's hand, the diploma was given by Ning Yu, naturally there would be no problems, the soldier looked at them, and couldn't see any flaws for the time being, while simply searching Xiao Anze's body, his eyes looked at Li Hanning and Xiao Anze's bodies, and then asked Xiao Anze:
"Who is she? What are you two doing in town right now? ”
Xiao An accepted the interrogation frankly, and answered truthfully: "She is my family." ”
The sister-in-law who has not passed through the door should also be considered a family member, and this first sentence is not a lie.
Li Hanning stood aside, and Xiao An continued: "As for the reason for choosing this time to enter the city, it is naturally because of the Yueqi Festival that Jindan Yulu is going to do, and I live not far from here, thinking about such a lively festival, how can I not participate?" ”
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they were relieved, and sure enough, it was another one who came for the Yueqi Festival, they literati are always like this, even if the sky falls, even if the war does not affect their drinking and writing poems, most of the literati who have entered the city one after another in the past few days are coming for the Yueqi Festival that Jindan Yulu is going to do.
Speaking of this soldier, he looked a little impatient, and stretched out his hand to push Xiao Anze: "Okay, the search is over, let's go in." ”
Li Hanning stepped forward to help Xiao Anze, but Xiao Anze avoided her without a trace at this time, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine." ”
He glanced up at the black gilt "Yueqi City" plaque hanging high at the gate of the city, and said in a deep voice, "We can go in." ”
And on the side of Xiao Ce's military camp, Ning Yu was accompanying him to review the three armies, and Ning Yu said as he walked: "Speaking of which, although General Li's martial arts are very high, he originally accompanied His Royal Highness Rui Wang into the city, and His Second Highness should be relieved, but after all, the attitude of Song Yingxing, the lord of Yueqi City, is unknown, and His Royal Highness still can't help but be a little worried, after all, now that the time is calculated, they should have entered the city safely, and they should be on the way to Jindan Yulu Courtyard." ”
Although Xiao Ce looked calm as usual, his fast steps also revealed the irritability and restlessness in his heart, Ning Yu in front of him took in these details, he was naturally the person who knew Xiao Ce best.
Xiao Ce finally stopped: "Yes, I'm really worried, even if An Ze went crazy yesterday, Han Ning is still willing to accompany him." ”
Ning Yu seemed to want to see through it but didn't say it: "But in my opinion, what His Second Highness is worried about is clearly not this, His Second Highness naturally knows the ability of His Third Highness, and he also knows how high Li Hanning's martial arts are." ”
Xiao Ce naturally knew that he couldn't hide anything from the military advisor in front of him, and since he came back from the north, Ning Yu's fox thoughts had become more and more difficult to guess.
"But Your Highness should really rest assured, the ministers and others feel that the Third Highness will have an unexpected harvest when he goes to Yueqi City this time, and the Third Highness has your shadow on his body, when he first saw the Third Highness in the military camp a few days ago, General Feng told me, saying that it was like seeing the Second Highness when he entered Chang'an alone that year, whether it was his eyes or others, it was simply carved out of a mold."
Sure enough, the feng shui of the Xiao family in Luoyang will never raise waste.
