Chapter 35: The Wolf Returns to Beijing for the Fifth Time
When Konoha broke through in Tanglong Valley, Wolf Five finally saw the gate of Shengjing.
It's not easy for Wolf Five to live these days, and Konoha explained that he wouldn't let anyone find out until he met Mu Beimo.
Han Lin arranged a large number of scouts on the front line of the Winter Pass, and although Wolf Wu wanted to question Han Lin in person why he did this, he still suppressed this impulse.
If Han Lin did these things without hidden feelings, then he would definitely not be worried about his old feelings. Wolf Five has become a self-throwing net.
It's nothing if he was caught, but if the news of Danchen's food cut-off can't be delivered to His Royal Highness the Prince, then his own sin will be great.
In order to ensure safety, Wolf Wu walked around the crowded Guancheng city, only picked the secluded and uninhabited deep mountains and old forests, drank mountain spring water when thirsty, hunted when hungry, and picked up the town when he was forced to do so, and prepared more durable dry food.
This journey has been difficult, and it is a day and night, and when I see Shengjing City at this moment, the breath that has been hanging all the way is finally relaxed.
Wolf Wu covered his face, only held the token of the East Palace in his hand, and rushed through the city gate with a fast horse.
The defenders at the city gate saw the golden token in his hand, and did not dare to stop it, although it was not time to open the city gate, but they did not dare to delay at all, and opened the gap between the city gate and allowed a horse to pass through, and let the wolf five go.
Wolf Wu was afraid that Yao Hong in Beijing had a lot of straight eyes, so he found a small post station and arranged the horses. He pretended to go to the room to rest, but in fact, he secretly jumped out of the window and went straight to the East Palace.
He is the first batch of wolf guards around Mu Beimo, and he has followed His Highness for the longest time, and he can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in the East Palace.
However, Wolf Wu still remembered Konoha's instructions, and he was not at ease with the people in the East Palace, so he didn't go through the main gate, and after climbing over the wall and entering the East Palace, he went straight to Mu Beimo's dormitory.
Then he was stopped by several wolf guard brothers in front of the window.
He was knocked out of the air by Wolf Three and pounced on the ground, and Wolf Three stomped on his back fiercely.
The marble floor of the East Palace was bitterly cold, but the wolf five was relieved after seeing the person he trusted.
Wolf One's knife was horizontal in front of him, and without waiting for Wolf Yi to make a move, Wolf Five himself begged for mercy first: "Big brother, don't do it, I'm the fifth brother!" ”
Hearing this familiar voice, the wolf was stunned for a moment, and immediately squatted down and ripped off the black cloth covering the wolf's face, and looked at it carefully suspiciously.
"Big brother, don't look at it, it's really me." Wolf Five was uncomfortable by his gaze, and wanted to reach out to block it, but Wolf Three twisted his arm and twisted it vigorously.
The wolf only confirmed at this time that the rough man with a scruffy beard and blue eyes in front of him was the fifth brother, and he wanted to ask too many words, but he blocked them all and didn't ask a word.
Wolf San didn't react when he saw Wolf One, so he simply turned Wolf Five's head to look at it himself.
He made it a little harder, and the cervical spine of the fifth wolf made a "click" sound, and he shouted in pain: "Third child, do you want to kill me, damn it, you light." ”
Wolf San didn't see his face clearly, but after listening to his words, he subconsciously scolded back: "You kid only recognizes the eldest brother and doesn't recognize me, believe it or not, Lao Tzu screwed your head off." ”
The brothers recognized each other, although they were still scolding, Wolf Three had already reached out to help Wolf Five up.
"How did you get this way? Isn't it quite smooth at the front, how did you come back? Wolf One finally organized the language and asked Wolf Five curiously.
When Wolf Wu heard him ask, he immediately remembered something important, and instead of answering Wolf One, he asked him, "What about Your Highness?" I have to see him, and I have very important things to say. ”
The wolf looked at his anxious appearance and knew that something big must happen: "Your Highness has been very upset for the past two days, and you haven't slept for an hour, why don't you go and clean yourself up first, and wait for Your Highness to wake up?" ”
Wolf Wu was still a little hesitant, and Mu Beimo's voice suddenly came from the hall: "What's going on outside?" ”
The three of them were all shocked, and Wolf One was the first to react: "Your Highness, it's Wolf Five who is back." ”
Mu Beimo has always slept lightly these days, and even if he falls asleep, it is a chaotic dream, and the bright red in the dream always makes him feel ominous, and he will inexplicably think of Konoha in his heart.
Now that he heard that Wolf Five was back, he immediately sobered up: "Wolf Five came in." ”
Hearing the sound of footsteps, his loyal subordinates knelt down in front of him and saluted: "Your Highness, Wolf Five has returned." ”
The wolf didn't hear the prince call him up for a long time, and he felt strange in his heart and looked up.
As a result, he met Mu Beimo's gaze directly.
The wolf five was excited, and quickly lowered his head.
Mu Beimo's voice was a little fluttering: "Wolf Five, how did you become like this?" ”
Wolf Wu couldn't cry or laugh, he likes to clean up on weekdays, but he won't take care of himself for a few days, so people can't recognize it.
In order to prevent the topic from going off track. Wolf Wu had to directly explain his intentions: "Your Highness, something happened at the front line. ”
This sentence effectively drew Mu Beimo's attention back: "What's the matter, something happened to Konoha?" ”
"Han Lin ran out of military rations, and the county lord decided to change the shortcut to attack Shunzhong Pass."
"Out of food?!" Mu Beimo was shocked when he heard this, grain and grass are the top priority when marching, and if the grain and grass are broken, it is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous military situation.
These days, there are constantly war reports coming from the front line, and when Mu Yicheng was in the last dynasty, he asked the Guwu Nian who was waiting around him to listen to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
These battle reports are all good news, and Mu Beimo also felt that everything was going well with Konoha after hearing it, so the letter sent by the wolf five and the wolf seven was also said to be in the past.
Unexpectedly, what Wolf Wu said was completely different from what he knew.
"Sit down and tell me everything." Mu Beimo's tone was quite calm, and he was already panicking in his heart that he couldn't suppress.
Wolf Wu obediently moved a pear blossom wooden low stool and sat in front of Mu Beimo.
"After taking the Winter Pass, the DPRK and China issued several edicts asking us to go on the expedition as soon as possible. The last general has a little friendship with Han Lin, and after recovering the Winter Pass, he feels that Han Lin is even more credible. But he didn't want to leave the customs two days later, he wounded the soldiers who carried the grain, and completely cut off our grain and grass. The county lord was determined to take a shortcut and take Shunzhong Pass within two or three days. ”
Mu Beimo saw that his lips were chapped, and he was in a hurry, and motioned for him to drink saliva.
Wolf Wu casually took a jar of wine, raised his head and poured a few sips, and the burning dry pain in his throat was much better.
He took a breath and continued, "The county lord is worried that Han Lin has changed the battle report, so he sent the last general back to tell His Highness. ”
Mu Beimo saw him hesitate and asked, "She only asked you to say this?" ”
Wolf Wu was entangled for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "The county lord said that His Royal Highness has helped her a lot, but such a major event as cutting off military rations must be decided by the king." The county lord doesn't want to embarrass His Highness, but this is really a matter of life and death, and I hope His Highness can help. ”
Mu Beimo was silent and didn't speak, Wolf Wu didn't know what he thought, and he didn't dare to speak rashly.
Mu Beimo felt the familiar anger and powerlessness, and what Wolf Wu said must have been embellished, but even so, he could hear Konoha's attitude.
At this time, Konoha still didn't believe him, and even sent his wolf guard back with one.
It's not that he hasn't fought against his father for Konoha, and when his father didn't want to give her real power, it was he who helped Konoha get the Danchen Army.
Then why did she think that this time, he wouldn't help her?
She dared to take those 10,000 people, or the 10,000 people who couldn't eat enough, to attack Shunzhong Pass urgently, but she refused to wait a few days for him to think of a way.
Konoha made such a decision, undoubtedly because she still believed in Gu Yunlie in her heart, and she felt that Gu Yunlie would help her win Shunzhong.
It's okay if you don't kill it, but this kind of thinking makes Mu Beimo even more angry.
In fact, although Konoha trusted Gu Yunlie, she never had the idea of letting Gu Yunlie help her take down Shunzhong Pass, her arrangement was to let the people in Shunzhong Pass make trouble, and attack inside and outside.
It's just that Mu Beimo has always remembered in his heart that before Mu Ye went on the expedition, he quarreled with him for Mu Beimo, and he couldn't help but think about Gu Yunlie.
Although he was angry, Mu Beimo also knew that this matter was very important, and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Wolf Five, how many days have you been out of the Danchen Army?" ”
Wolf Five calculated in his heart and replied, "Today is the morning of the fifth day. ”
"Five days," Mu Beimo's heart sank, "She plans to capture Shunzhong Pass in two days, but now it's five days, no matter whether she wins or loses, there is no news at all, and there is no news from Wolf Qi." ”
Wolf Wu was not too worried: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, Shunzhong Pass is not like the Winter Pass, it can't be taken so easily, no matter what, you have to fight for a few days." There is no news from Wolf Qi, which means that the fight is going well, and there is no time to send the news. Besides, no matter how fast the message is, it will take two or three days. ”
There is some truth in this, and Mu Beimo's hanging heart is slightly lowered.
He felt strange that the wolf five had figured out something, why he didn't react for a while.
If Yin Kang was here, he would tell Mu Beimo that this kind of thing is called caring and messy.
However, he quickly put his mind on these things that Wolf Wu said.
Mu Beimo carefully went over what Wolf Wu said, and realized that the fact that the battle report was changed was the starting point for him to plead with his father.
Although Konoha felt that it was her father's determination to cut off her military rations, and repeatedly issued edicts to force her to send troops, it was her father who planned to abandon her.
Mu Beimo felt that someone had said something in front of his father, which made his father suspicious of Konoha.
This person is most likely Yao Hongzhi, Konoha suspected the relationship between Han Lin and Yao Hongzhi, and also sent a message to him to send someone to investigate, but he didn't find anything useful.
If there is enough time, Mu Beimo can still follow the information given by Wolf Wu to check carefully, but there is obviously no time at the moment.
Compared with getting evidence of Yao Hongzhi and Han Lin's collusion, it is more important to persuade his father to send troops to reinforce and supply military rations.
Mu Beimo made a decision in his heart, and ordered Wolf Wu: "You go and clean yourself up now, and then follow me into the palace to meet my father, and persuade my father before going to the court." ”
After a stick of incense, the two horses galloped out of the East Palace and headed straight for the palace.
Mu Beimo is the crown prince, and he said that he asked to see Mu Yicheng, but naturally no one dared to stop him.
After arriving outside Mu Yicheng's imperial study, Mu Beimo asked Guwu to go in and spread the word, saying that he had something urgent to inform his father.
Guwu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly returned to Mu Yicheng.
Mu Yicheng didn't know that his son had anything important to say when he went to the court, but he also asked Guwu to call someone in immediately.
