Chapter 19: The War for Food Defense 3

When it was dark, Yan Shuangying escorted two carriages to arrive here. After eating some dry food, everyone went on the road to the big town in front of them, where to replenish the grain, grass and dry food, and to sleep well. It's already a third of the way to the side plug. The big town that crossed was a wasteland of more than 100 miles, and it was necessary to replenish enough food.

Yan Shuangying's big red horse is already tired and exhausted, and he has now changed to a chasing horse, and the people who follow Yuqing are also tired.

"Yuqing, your horse?"

"Double Eagle, my horse's skin is still the one you gave me, and the inside is no longer the same. When you get to the place, this princess will help you train a horse, and now you can rest. If you are tired, sleep on horseback for a while, and this princess will make sure you don't fall off. “

"You don't need to sleep, it's just that your horse really doesn't look like a flesh and blood horse." Yan Shuangying said as he walked as he looked at the big red horse under Yuqing.

"Twin Eagles, where did you see that? Thought, those who have and don't, you see how my horse is different from your horse now. “

"Sister, Dad is really a little pitiful, Mom's horse can run fast when you eat the sun. Hey, I'm so sad for my dad. Doudou sensed Yan Shuangying's frustrated mood and sighed in Yuqing's consciousness.

"Little brat, I know it's sad. Can you tell him the secret of your mother's secret? Yuyu followed.

"Sister, isn't he his mother's other half? I should have told him to know. “

"What other half, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Our father hasn't married our mother yet. “

"Sister, you must say it after you get married, when will it be?"

"Doudou, I said that I had to say it, but the time has not yet come. This is a heavenly opportunity, you don't know if you know no, Dad has already had a certain sense with us, In the future, when Dad is there, we will talk less and can't make trouble for my mother. “

"Yuqing, I heard the child's voice again, and I also felt the meaning of what fish fish and beans meant." Yan Shuangying rubbed his ears and looked at Yuqing and asked.

"Shuangying, when you get to the big town ahead, I'm going to show you the pulse, you're really sick." Yuqing said helplessly, Yan Shuangying suddenly had a sense with the children. There is no precedent for this phenomenon to refer to, so do you really have to tell him your secret?

The convoy of horses carrying grain traveled almost overnight, and it was only when the day was about to dawn that I dimly saw the shadow of the big town.

"Princess, out of this forest is the town, shall we go down the mountain at once, or shall we rest here?" Yan Lai walked to Yuqing and asked for instructions.

"Uncle Yan, rest here for half a day first. We walked through the middle of the night and were sleepy, and by the afternoon we were in town. ”

"It's okay, if there's something going on in the town, we can slow down." Yan Laiyan Hui and they got Yuqing's order to put down the horses pulling the cart and tell them to go and graze by themselves. The guards were arranged, and the rest of the people fell asleep against the trees.

"Yuqing, are you worried that there will be a third wave of pursuers." Yan Shuangying looked at Yuqing and asked.

"This is very likely to happen, the first two waves of pursuers who came to rob the road were all dead soldiers, but they didn't look like the guards in the imperial city."

"Yuqing, what do you mean, these pursuers are not sent by the Dog Emperor. If that's really too terrible, the new emperor has just ascended the throne and the court is his power, could it be that someone has already had two hearts at this time? ”

"Double Eagle, how the Dog Emperor usurped the throne, even his people know it. Who can guarantee that those who follow him are loyal, and no one can guarantee that no one will copy his usurpation. In the past, Princess Ben only suspected that through these two robberies of grain and grass, it was already certain that such a person was not one. Yu Qing said indifferently, but Yan Shuangying's heart was cold when he listened.

"Yuqing, the Dog Emperor is really pitiful, and he doesn't know that he has been used."

"This is the inevitable result, the righteous and the unrighteous are not their own, and they will never be their own."

"You're absolutely right, the Dog Emperor is not a smart person in the first place. The two prime ministers on the left and right are cunning and cunning, and they were the right-hand men of the former prince at the beginning. ”

"The crown prince lost power, and they took refuge in the new emperor, how could such a person loyally defend a person."

Listening to Yuqing's words, Yan Shuangying pondered. At this time, the snoring sound also sounded in the woods, and the horses pulling the carts also scattered to gnaw on the grass on the ground, and the horses were tired of walking all night. Even Yan Shuangying, who was preoccupied, leaned against a big tree and fell asleep.

"Mom, someone may be chasing after you again, and the child senses a lot of irregular soul movements, and is coming in this direction together." Yuqing also wanted to rest for a while, and Doudou reminded him in his divine sense.

"Mother, it's still too late for you to sleep for a while. There was no movement in Yuyu's perception, indicating that the pursuers were still some distance away from us. The Soul Pen added.

"Sister's perception is still the same as before, it's not far away. Mom, you can sleep for a while, and the son will call you when the people arrive. ”

"Okay, Princess Ben is really tired." Yuqing closed his eyes as he spoke, he really needed to sleep for a while, it was good to have two children to sentry. Yuqing slept here, Yan Shuangying woke up, he rubbed his ears and looked around, and the sound of the child waking him up again.

There are too many questions in my heart, Yuqing's horse, close to Yuqing, there are often children's voices, and those two carts of grain...... He knew that Yuqing had a secret on his body, and he couldn't let go of this secret in his heart if he didn't know it. He couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply found a big tree and climbed it. The sentries on guard are also sleepy, and they are all holding on at this time.

"You all go and sleep for a while, and I'll call you again when there's a situation." Yan Shuangying said on the big tree.

"Thank you, little castle master, we are not sleepy, we are about to change the guard."

Yan Shuangying didn't say anything more, soldiers have the discipline of soldiers, and it would be good to pay more attention to them if they climbed high and looked far away. The sky was getting brighter, and the birds were chirping in the woods. Smoke had risen from the town on the other side of the woods, and although there was no one to be seen, it was a large town. I've heard that the town is far away from a sparsely populated wasteland, and that it really needs to be replenished with enough dry food and water.

Suddenly, on the other side of the mountains facing the town, a large flock of birds flew up, and dust rose from the official road next to it. Yan Shuangying was shocked in his heart, there were not a few people who came, could it be that the pursuers were coming again.

"Twin Eagles, did you find something?" At this moment, Yuqing also woke up and asked. He could see the situation, and the two little sentinels in Yuqing's divine consciousness had already reminded him.

"Yes, there are frightened birds flying in the distant mountains, and dust has been raised on the official roads."

"You can see farther with this." Yuqing said lightly and jumped onto the tree and handed Yan Shuangying a telescope. Looking at the strange thing in his hand, Yan Shuangying was puzzled again.

"That's how it works." Yuqing also had the same thing there, and said while putting it on his eyes.

In the telescope, you can already see the shadow running on a horse, although it is impossible to tell more, but there is also a rough estimate: "Double eagle, the dog emperor really thinks too highly of us, this time there are quite a lot of people." ”

"Yuqing, let alone the number of people is over 100. It is likely that there are also secret guards on the Dog Emperor inside, and the kung fu is unfathomable, and the guards in the imperial city should be the main force. ”

"What a brainless idiot, he doesn't want to think that he hasn't sat in a hot position, so he has to practice his poor reputation that he already has. This princess is perfecting him. Yuqing said and put away the binoculars, took out a small note, and wrote a few lines of small words on it. Then he took out a small bamboo tube and crushed the paper into strips and stuffed it in, and then a big letter bird also appeared. Tie the small bamboo tube to the letter bird's legs, and press it on the letter bird's head, then let go of the hand, only to see the fat letter bird fly into the sky at once. The speed is extremely fast, and it becomes a small black dot that is invisible.

From the disappearance of the thing called the telescope to the end when the big bird flew away, it was all done in Yuqing's hands. These different types of things were changing in Yuqing's hands, and Yan Shuangying was already a little petrified.

"Look at what I'm doing, how far away the pursuers are. The telescope's clear field of view is 5,000 meters, can you see it clearly now? Yuqing let go of the big letter bird, and then asked.

"Yuqing, it's still a little vague, as if those people have stopped. Do you want to wake them up? "Now is not the time to be stunned, Yan Shuangying suppressed the doubts in his heart and said.

"No, I guess they're not sure we're here, and they're discussing whether we're chasing after or ambushing in front. The soldiers who protect the food are very tired these days, and it is not the best strategy to rush to the battle. ”

"Well, there are still some people who have been injured, and we don't have an advantage in numbers."

"Tell them to sleep well, no matter how much the people chasing her negotiate, this princess will tell them to go first, and then fight back against them while they are resting."

"Yuqing ......" Looking at Yuqing's confident expression, Yan Shuangying has completely learned the truth, Yuqing is going to use soul power. Once again, I admired my future daughter-in-law in my heart, and if my daughter-in-law had a secret in her heart, she wouldn't say it, and she would be a foil for her omnipotent daughter-in-law.

"Shuangying, you stay here and continue to monitor each other, and I'll go down there and prepare food for them. When we are full, we will finish them in the big town in front of us, and completely break the thoughts of the dog emperor and those villains. ”

Yan Shuangying looked at the future daughter-in-law who was strategizing and heroic, and raised the binoculars to look into the distance, but the group of people still didn't move and were talking about something.

"Head, I guess they're already in the town by now, and from the map it's a wasteland. They had to replenish the town with dry food and water, as well as fodder for the horses. A dark guard said.

"yes, maybe they're sleeping in the town and haven't woken up yet." The people who came out of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion were very sure that the people on their side had just failed to intercept and kill, and even if they won, they would have suffered heavy casualties, so what could they do if they didn't rest at this time.

"Head, according to the footsteps, they should have passed through this town, so we need to replenish supplies here, and then catch up with them quickly, the wasteland is their burial place." One of the guards of the Imperial City suggested.

"It can't be that fast, they don't have a steady journey. At this time, they are still ahead of us at the earliest, and it is best to take their lives while they are sleepy. "The people sent by the Prime Minister Zuo accidentally said that they leaked their mouths. They failed to intercept and kill, and the people in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion were behind them, as if no one knew.

"Did you do something?" When the secret guard of the Dog Emperor came out, he got His Majesty's command, and he had to monitor the use of these outsiders. After listening to the words of the two people sent by the prime minister, he asked.

"We didn't do anything." Prime Minister Zuo, who said the wrong thing, denied it with a weak heart.

"It's best if you haven't done it, wait a minute, it will depend on the loyalty of you soldiers to the emperor. Head, it's better for us to observe and make decisions while walking, after all, we are full of energy, and we have so many elite soldiers. ”

"Don't talk about it, since we can't decide now, we'll observe as we go, and see what to do when the situation is decided." The leader of the Imperial City Guards, who was also the leader of this mission, finally said.

The group of people in the telescope moved, not as fast as just now, and the shadows in the lens became clearer and clearer, and they could already see what the group of people were wearing. Yan Shuangying's eyes widened and he looked carefully, and he really saw a lot of acquaintances for him.

"Yuqing, it's really a person sent by the Dog Emperor, there are guards in the imperial city, and I know that the leader is a Zhonglang general. There are also soldiers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, who are very flamboyant on weekdays, and it is difficult to know them or not. There are still some fresh faces, and the kung fu is not low......" Yan Shuangying said to Yuqing, who was cooking, while watching.

"Twin eagles, you can come down. Wake everyone up for breakfast, and catch them off guard when they're full. By the way, wake up the two people in the big tree first, they are the sentinels of the changing of the guard. ”

In a clearing in the woods, a large pot of steaming noodles has been prepared, with sliced meat and vegetables on top, and the rich aroma is already smelling in the heat. There is also a large basket of multigrain cakes and pickle gnocchi next to it. Although it is simple, it is also a rare and good meal on the way.

"Yuqing, the pot you recruited there, and these noodles?" Yan Shuangying was surprised.

"The pot is their own, and the noodles are prepared by Princess Ben. The cakes and pickles are also theirs, but after eating this meal, they will be gone, and they will be replenished when they arrive in the town. Yuqing said very easily, and looked at the big burden on his horse's back.

"Yuqing ......" Yan Shuangying had nothing to say again. When I turned my head to wake everyone up, many people were already awakened by the smell of food.

"Uncle Adjutant General, it's all sleepy, come over to eat when you wake up, there is still a tough battle to fight when you are full."

"Twin Eagles, another pursuer?" Yan replied to a carp and stood up stiffly and asked. Those food guards also woke up in an instant.

"Report! More than 100 people on the official road moved towards us. The two sentinels who were woken up by Yan Shuangying one step earlier shouted loudly below.

"! This dog emperor is not going to be good, the brothers the guys and fight with them. Yan Lai hurriedly ordered.

"Don't worry, eat your stomach first, and then say fight with them." Yuqing said without panic.

"Princess, there are traces of fighting under the mountain, and if those people surround us here, we will be passive."

"Uncle Adjutant General, they don't dare to come up. Everyone eats however they want, and Princess Ben bets that not only will they not dare to go up the mountain, but they will also leave here in a very low-key manner. ”

"Really?" Some people looked at Yuqing suspiciously, and some people were thinking.

"Just listen to the princess, this is called false and real, those pursuers don't know our situation, and they don't dare to rush up the mountain, that's for sure. If they had a bit of brains, they would have ambushed us in the town ahead. Yan Lai looked at Yuqing with admiration and said.

"Yes, princess, this is a risky move, but it is also the best move. Hurry up and eat first, hey, what soup is so fragrant, and there is meat and vegetables? Yan Hui also figured it out and said.

"Excellent! Uncle Adjutant General, arrange for two people to continue to monitor the official road, and the rest of the people will eat, and discuss how to fight with them while eating. ”
