Chapter 160: The Busy Messenger
Walking all the way behind the eight people, what I saw along the way was still the endless desert sand, the morning sun in the eastern sky had completely revealed its true face, the warm sun sprinkled on the body, and it had not yet reached the blazing heat at noon, the temperature at this time was not high or low, and it shone warmly in people's hearts.
If it weren't for the Yun Yao in front of Xiao Yunhe who made Xiao Yunhe grit his teeth in anger, I believe that Xiao Yunhe would enjoy the sunshine at this time.
After walking for a short distance, several large sand dunes appeared in front of them, followed by the back, passing between the gaps in the dunes, and turning to the side, the earthy yellow sand dunes suddenly broke down, and a small oasis was sunken in.
This oasis is so strategically located that you can't see it when you pass by the sand dunes outside. Unless you have the heart to walk a section inside against the bottom of the hill, you can find that there is a hole inside.
Unexpectedly, they could find such a hidden place as a garrison place, Xiao Yunhe was greatly impressed in his heart.
Perhaps only the native-born barbarians can thrive in this desert!
Before he walked in, someone was already shouting in the improvised military fence in front of him. However, what they were talking about was barbarism, and Xiao Yunhe didn't understand a word. Looking at their appearance, they should have seen Yun Yao come back, so they were so excited.
This crazy woman, I didn't expect it to be quite popular!
Xiao Yunhe has a grudge against Yun Yao.
Surrounded by a group of barbarian soldiers all the way, they approached the barbarian camp, but whether it was Yun Yao, the seven soldiers, or the soldiers guarding the barracks, they all seemed to have not seen Xiao Yunhe, they all laughed, and they still spoke barbarian words that Xiao Yunhe couldn't understand, and they walked in groups of three or five, and no one paid attention to him at all.
Xiao Yunhe was in a hurry, pulled a soldier from the side, and asked him.
But I don't know if it's Xiao Yunhe's bad luck, or the barbarians' language education is not thorough enough, the soldier he chose, listened to Xiao Yunhe say a few words, but he was always at a loss. When Xiao Yunhe finished speaking, he would only scream twice, but he didn't understand what he was talking about at all.
Helplessly letting go of this unknown soldier, Xiao Yunhe thought helplessly: Could it be that the seven soldiers he met were all exceptions? These other soldiers are not as well educated as them?
Xiao Yunhe didn't give up, and pulled several soldiers in a row, but they all suffered the same as the previous soldier, all of them didn't know what to ask, and after asking too much, those soldiers had a commotion, and I don't know how they misunderstood Xiao Yunhe.
Xiao Yunhe didn't want to have another dispute with them, having one Yun Yao was enough for his head, after all, this place also belonged to the Left Guard, if there was a fight here, it would be strict.
Helplessly escaped from the group of soldiers, Xiao Yunhe didn't wait to breathe a sigh of relief, he found that there was still a person in front of him.
Xiao Yunhe looked up and saw that it was a man in his fifties, kind and kind, dressed in barbarian clothes, but much more luxurious.
He looked at Xiao Yunhe and asked, "You are the soldier in the rear camp that Yao'er brought back?" I heard that you have very important information?"
"I don't know if Your Excellency is ......," Xiao Yunhe asked tentatively.
"This general is Ye Moxin, the logistics officer of these 30,000 barbarian cavalry, from the Sanpin Longxiang General, is this identity qualified to listen to your 100,000 urgent information?" the man smiled and asked gently.
"The subordinates spoke wildly, and they had no intention of offending! I also asked the general to forgive me!" Finally seeing the main master, Xiao Yunhe knelt down in shame.
It turned out that Yun Yao didn't really hang him aside, but refused to admit defeat, and actually found the real person in charge for him. But it seems that she obviously told Ye Moxin all her words, and adding oil and vinegar to it is estimated that it is also essential, so I don't know how big the moisture is......
"Get up! Yao'er has always been messing around, but she still knows it very well! Tell me your information!" Ye Moxin pulled Xiao Yunhe up, and he didn't have a fight, and said warmly.
"Yes!" So, Xiao Yunhe told Ye Moxin everything he had seen and the information he had estimated about the barbarians, but he didn't tell the other party about killing Mo Duo and Chi Yang.
"What you said is true?" After listening to the information reported by Xiao Yunhe, Ye Moxin's face became much stricter.
"It's true! It's all with my own eyes! Now, it is estimated that they have been pulled out!" Xiao Yunhe nodded seriously.
"That's bad, big brother, they're already on their way. They can't know that there is the main force of the barbarians there, if they encounter it like this, the enemy is outnumbered, this ......" Ye Moxin's expression became much more anxious.
"General Ye, do you know what's going on in the back camp now? How did I hear that there is no one in the back camp anymore?" Xiao Yunhe didn't know what he was talking about, but just asked the question he was most concerned about.
"This news was told by Yao'er, right?" Ye Moxin squinted at Xiao Yunhe and said slowly.
"This ......"
"I'm Yao'er's second uncle. Ye Moxin said slowly.
"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe was dumbfounded.
It's over, that little girl has seen her relatives, and she can't seize the opportunity to call me a super villain who has nothing in the sky and no earth? Now, it really fell into her hands......
"I heard Yao'er say, you want to go back to the back camp and tell General Shan the news, right?" Ye Moxin took the change in Xiao Yunhe's expression into his eyes, but didn't ask anything more, but asked another question.
"Yes, please tell the general the current situation of the rear camp!" Xiao Yunhe asked stiffly.
"Yao'er didn't lie to you, the current back camp is already an empty camp!" Ye Moxin said.
"How can this be?" Xiao Yunhe exclaimed.
Ye Moxin didn't answer this question, just shook his head gently.
"General Ye, do you know where General Shan led his army? I must deliver this news to him immediately!" Xiao Yunhe immediately reacted and asked again.
"I'm sorry, I don't know. Ye Moxin spread his hands, causing Xiao Yunhe's heart to fall into the trough of disappointment again.
"How could it be? Don't you know anything about it?" finally met an official position with enough weight, and Xiao Yunhe did not give up.
"I'm just a loose officer in charge of logistics, and I don't have the opportunity to participate in the march and war. The movement of the rear battalion troops is a military secret and cannot be known to everyone. I'm sorry I can't help you with this favor. Ye Moai looked at Xiao Yunhe helplessly.
"How can this be......" Xiao Yunhe hung his head in disappointment.
"Don't be disappointed, although I don't know where General Shan went, but ......" As soon as the words changed, Ye Moxin gasped.
Xiao Yunhe looked at him nervously, but Ye Moxin's slow temperament, Xiao Yunhe was worried about this sentence.
"But we have always kept in touch with the general......" Ye Moxin's words made Xiao Yunhe see hope again.
is known as the Great General, no need to mention the name, all the soldiers of the Left Guard Army know that there is only one person, and that is Yu Wenxuan.
If you can't contact Shan Zhen, you can pass the information to Yu Wenxuan, who is a higher level, and this is actually a better choice for Xiao Yunhe. After all, Yu Wenxuan is the ultimate commander of this battle, even if the information reaches Shan Zhen's hands, he will pass it on to the language player Li to make a decision.
"Where is General Yuwen?" Xiao Yunhe asked urgently.
"I don't know where General Yuwen is......" Ye Moxin's words were unexpected.
"What do you say? Don't you keep in touch with the general?" Xiao Yunhe was anxious again.
"It's true to keep in touch, but it doesn't mean that I have to know where they are......" Xiao Yunhe's impatience did not infect Ye Moxin, he still spoke so slowly, making Xiao Yunhe want to choke his neck and let him finish the words at one time.
"General Ye, don't sell Guanzi, what's going on?" Xiao Yunhe surrendered.
Ye Moxin smiled at Xiao Yunhe, turned around, and commanded a few words in barbarian to a personal soldier next to him.
Then, under Xiao Yunhe's curious gaze, the soldier soon returned. He returned with him another barbarian man who was not good-looking.
The man was very old, his hair was gray, he looked more than ten years older than Ye Moxin, and he was a little rickety, trembling, such an old man had long been unable to serve in the military, I really don't know how he could still stand this kind of upheaval and displacement of military life, and was called out by Ye Moxin at this time.
Looking at Xiao Yunhe's curious gaze, Ye Moxin said a few words to the rickety old man, and the rickety old man suddenly raised his head, his fingers reached out of his mouth, and a sharp and loud whistle came out of his thin body.
Xiao Yunhe was taken aback, this old gentleman was so weak that he made a louder sound than Xie Datou's snoring?
Before Xiao Yunhe could observe and understand what the structure of the old man's voice was, there was a louder and sharper chirp in the sky.
Xiao Yunhe looked up at the sky and saw that above the sky, there was a goshawk, slowly circling down.
It didn't take long for the goshawk to land a short distance above Xiao Yunhe's head.
Xiao Yunhe was vigilant, and he was about to take action to knock down this goshawk of unknown origin. From the mouths of his comrades-in-arms, he had heard more than once that the goshawk in the desert was so powerful that it was said that it could catch a lamb in the air at once.
At this time, Ye Moxin on the side grabbed Xiao Yunhe's hand and shook his head at Xiao Yunhe.
Xiao Yunhe was stunned, but at this time, the goshawk in the sky was stunned by Xiao Yunhe's kung fu, fluttering its wide wings and falling beside Xiao Yunhe.
Falling to the ground, even if the two wide wings were retracted, the shape of this goshawk was really not small. A pair of eagle talons squatted on the ground, from the top of his head to the ground, more than half a person tall, all the way to Xiao Yunhe's waist above.
"What is this?" Looking at Ye Moxin's gaze, not only was it not strange at all, but it was also a little doting, Xiao Yunhe asked in a low voice.
"This is how we communicate with the General, this is the goshawk unique to the desert, and under the training of the falconier, it can serve the same effect as the carrier pigeon. But it is faster than the carrier pigeon, and there are many eagles in the sky on the steppe, and the carrier pigeon can easily be devoured by the eagle flock, or killed by the enemy's bow and arrow. And they can fly at a height beyond the range of arrows, so here, they are the only carrier pigeons here!" Ye Moxin explained to Xiao Yunhe.
"I see!" Xiao Yunhe nodded, at this time he finally understood the reason why Ye Moxin said this before, with it, he could indeed contact it without knowing Yu Wenxuan's location.
"Wait a minute. Ye Moxin said to Xiao Yunhe, turned around, and walked into a tent on the side.
Not long after, Ye Moxin walked out.
He walked up to the rickety old man and handed him a small note in his hand.
The old man took it with one hand, then walked up to the goshawk that fell to the ground, stroked the black feathers on the goshawk's forehead with one hand, brushed the feathers on the goshawk's leg with the other, rolled the small note in his hand into a paper roll, and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube hidden on his leg.
After finishing this qiē, the rickety old man's throat made a strange sound of "snoring", and as soon as the goshawk heard this sound, the wings that were constricted at his side immediately opened.
Suddenly, there was a whirlwind in the flat ground, and the wind and sand were rolled up, and the goshawk flew towards the sky in the wind and sand.
Xiao Yunhe looked up at the goshawk rising higher and higher, until it turned into a small black dot, and then began to slowly fly into the distance.
Lowering his head and shaking his somewhat sour neck, Xiao Yunhe said sincerely to Ye Moxin: "Thank you, General Ye!"
"Thank you for what I'm doing, I'm also a member of the Left Guard, and this is also my business!, besides, I still have something to trouble you!" Ye Moxin shook his head, and then looked at Xiao Yunhe and said.
"What kind of dispatch does General Ye have? His subordinates will definitely carry out the order!" Xiao Yunhe knelt down again.
"Stand up, stand up, I don't have so many rules here, and what I'm going to entrust to you is, strictly speaking, not a business, but a private matter. To never follow or not to follow, you decide for yourself, I don't want to force you. Ye Moxin grabbed Xiao Yunhe.
"General Ye, what the hell is going on?" Xiao Yunhe asked.
"The information has been sent, and the general will receive the news soon. But my eldest brother didn't know the news yet. According to your information, there is a good chance that they will encounter the main army of the barbarians. Although Big Brother took most of our elites, he was still far inferior in terms of troops. I want to ......" Ye Moxin's expression became much stricter, and he looked at Xiao Yunhe.
"General Ye, do you want me to report to General Ye Wolftooth?" Xiao Yunhe guessed what Ye Moxin didn't say.
"I know it might be a bit unkind to say that, you've just been running all night, and you're physically and mentally exhausted, and I'm going to ask you to run again, it's too embarrassing for you. But now there are not many people in my barracks, and there are not even a single master, and the rest have to stay in this base camp. I can only ......" Ye Moxin sighed and said with some guilt.
"General Ye doesn't need to say more, I understand! Don't worry, my body is very good, don't you just run again? No problem, it's wrapped around me!" Xiao Yunhe didn't wait for Ye Moxin to finish speaking, and agreed to it.
"Don't be too busy agreeing, I said this is not a military order, it's my personal request. This time, it's not just about sending letters. Along the way, you are likely to encounter danger, you can refuse, you can rest assured, I will not blame you. Originally, I was supposed to go. But there has to be someone here. So ......" Ye Moxin asked Xiao Yunhe to think about it again, and also said some of the difficulties.
"General Ye rest assured, the Left Guards belong to the same body, so many brothers are in danger, how can I sit idly by? Don't worry, I will definitely deliver this news safely!" As he spoke, Xiao Yunhe turned around and left.
"Little Brother Yunhe, where are you going?" Ye Moxin asked in the back.
"Of course, I went to report the news, the military situation is like fire, and it is too late to delay any longer......" Xiao Yunhe said without looking back.
"Do you know where my eldest brother is?" Ye Moxin asked strangely.
"Uh......" Xiao Yunhe was dumbfounded, and his pace of walking forward stopped suddenly.
"When we rode on horseback, we would leave certain markings on the road. If it's not someone inside us, it won't be recognized. So, this time, little brother Yunhe, you also need an assistant. Ye Moxin didn't think it was strange and said with a smile.
Xiao Yunhe turned around, his eyes searched among the soldiers around him: "I don't know which brother it is......?
Before Xiao Yunhe's words were finished, Ye Moxin had already spoken: "It's no one else, Yunhe's little brother also knows, it's my niece Yao'er." ”
"Yun Yao?" Xiao Yunhe grew his mouth.
"Exactly. Ye Moxin nodded, "Don't look at her as a daughter, she has grown up in the army since she was a child, she is skilled in arches and horses, and her martial arts are not bad, otherwise, even if the emperor is magnificent, my eldest brother will not agree to her serving in the army." You can rest assured, she won't be holding you back, and she will also help you well along the way......"
"General Ye, let's change someone! I ......" Xiao Yunhe hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, and when he thought of Yun Yao, who had just made himself angry, Xiao Yunhe had a terrible headache. If you really walk with that little girl all the way, without outsiders, you still have to be angry with her? and "good help", I am already thankful that I can not be driven crazy by her.
"Little Brother Yunhe is not satisfied, but what did my niece offend you?" Ye Moxin asked.
"It's not, it's just ...... That I ......" In front of the parents, Xiao Yunhe didn't want to say what happened. Although that is the truth, if she really told her elders about these things behind her back, no matter how you think about it, it feels like a small report.
