Great Zhou Empire Chapter 55 Taoqiu Rumors
So, Yu Nie led the horse and Jiang Mo to leave along the road in the village, while the thief sat in the middle of the hall, watching Yu Nie's distant back. Du Zhong was dizzy and came over to say goodbye, "Big brother, do you think the second brother will come back?" ”
And the old man of Cangshu kept following Jiang Mo to see him off, "Why aren't you curious about what happened to me?" ”
Jiang Mo ignored it until Cangshu said: "You have the appearance of an emperor, but unfortunately you have nothing to do with that beautiful little girl, you will definitely marry two princesses..."
Jiang Mo was shocked, not shocked by his remarks, but remembered Sun Liang's words, could it be that this person was the old immortal in Sun Liang's mouth?
Cangshu seemed to see through Jiang Mo and continued: "In the past few days, I suddenly remembered that I met you many years ago, no, it's not you... Hey.. He.. You can keep this pill for now, and you can use it to save your life if you are seriously injured and have a fever in the future..."
Although others sounded crazy, Jiang Mo's head was about to explode, and he couldn't believe whether this person was a human or a ghost, could it be that there were really immortals...
And Jiang Mo wanted to ask a few more words, but he was no longer around....
Holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, Jiang Mo opened it, and inside was a white pill, exuding a bitter taste.....
When Yu Nie and Jiang Mo came out of the stockade, they did not immediately see the army of the Qi State, but a miscellaneous forest, and the wooden gate and sentry post behind them were also very hidden.
The two walked for nearly 1 mile before they heard horses and shouts, and followed the sound to find Qin Mu and other guards and a large number of troops.
The leader turned out to be Tian Dan, he was wearing armor and holding a spear, he was indeed majestic, he did not dismount but gave up his hand on the horse, "The lower official failed to rescue His Highness in time, please forgive me." ”
"Uncle Tian, don't be polite, go back to Taoqiu quickly" Jiang Mo didn't get off the horse at all, and ordered directly. Qin Mu and the others were ecstatic and asked if Shizi was injured, and they followed closely behind, not feeling the storm of tranquility at this moment.
"Back?" Tian Dan raised his head, looked at Jiang Mo, and saw that there were some abrasions on his forehead and hands, but he didn't care, and said very firmly: "Your Highness was captured by thieves, and the people and soldiers have been killed and wounded, so we must cut down the grass and eradicate it to prevent future troubles." ”
"Okay, the general is mighty, dare to ask General Tian how many soldiers and horses he has?"
Tian Dan didn't know what he meant, and hesitated and replied: "500 cavalry, 500 bows and crossbows, 1000 infantry." ”
"Do you know where the thieves will appear? Terracotta geometry? Jiang Mo asked.
Tian Dan was silent, it turned out to be a persuasion to retire.
Jiang Mo took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Do you really think that the bandit team mixed with thousands of people is the strength of the thief?" ”
"No, but you have to try, but I don't know what Your Highness promised the thief to escape?" Tian is like a sharp word.
"Then General Sui, thanks to the rescue of the Great Hero of Yune, this palace is extremely tired, so if you want to rush back to Taoqiu as soon as possible, the general will not stop it, right?" Jiang Mo also knew that the more he blocked what Tian Dan in front of him did, the more suspicious he was, and the more he would do what he wanted, so he had to follow him.
"Then please tell Your Highness the stronghold of the thieves?" Tian Dan waved his spear and glanced at Yu Nie behind Jiang Mo.
"I've been away for more than an hour, I don't remember the way" Jiang Mo's eyes seemed to be closed, looking exhausted.
Tian Dan was indifferent and continued to ask: "The prince was captured by the bandits, and he must know the location of the bandits, soldiers and horses, why don't you tell them, what are your intentions?" ”
"This palace was arrested, not to inspect the stronghold, and I don't know what General Tiandan means?" Jiang Mo continued to respond with a weak appearance.
Qin Mu shouted, "Make way for His Highness." ”
Tian Dan paused for a long time before waving his hand, the team behind let go of the road, Yu Nie waved his horsewhip and rode away, followed by Qin Mu and several people.
chatting with Qin Mu along the way, I learned that Qin Mu took one of his subordinates to follow, because he was afraid of the thief's martial arts, so he followed Jiang Mo's arrangement and followed the thief's party from a long distance, but when he arrived near the valley, he didn't know what clues were found or deliberately went around, causing the two of them to be lost in the jungle, so they didn't find the location of the village where the thief was located at all.
The other two guards were even turned away by Liu Ping, and they were not allowed to report to the city at all, until Tiandan returned to the city victoriously, and they were able to meet, and then followed the mark left by Qin Mu all the way to the southeast.
It wasn't until the night that Jiang Mo and his entourage returned to Taoqiu City, and Tian Dan still sent a small team of men and horses to follow, so they didn't encounter any wind and waves along the way, even if they arrived in the city, Liu Ping didn't show up to greet them, although it made Qin Mu unhappy, but it made Jiang Mo think that he didn't have to deal with Liu Ping.
Jiang Mo returned to his residence and counted the days, August 14, 172 of the Great Zhou Dynasty, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival of reunion, this festival evolved from the day of the moon sacrifice in ancient times. Thinking about the king of Qi, Jiang Yu originally wanted to let his son go west after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he was worried that the patience of the Great Zhou Emperor was not enough, so he could only set off as soon as possible.
And counting the day of the official departure, the honor guard can almost reach Taoqiu, but Jiang Mo returned to Taoqiu City, and did not hear the news of Tian Dan's return to the city or the arrival of the honor guard, but what he heard was the news that the prince was greedy for pleasure and sang songs in Taoqiu City every night, and threatened the county Cheng Chen Yang for women, and even squandered military salaries and 200 taels of gold in the treasury.
Qin Mu has been getting along with Jiang Mo these days, and he can be regarded as knowing who he is, and he is extremely resentful of the biased rumors during this time, but Jiang Mo doesn't care, he is just curious about the reason behind such rumors.
Jiang Mo didn't really care about what was going on in this city, he just wanted to rest early, but he returned to bed after a tired day, but he was also tossing and turning: I don't know why, I still didn't stop escaping from the bandits and facing my own people, and the departing Jin Di didn't know if it was safe or not, and Tian Dan, who had not returned, would find out the whereabouts of the thieves and then fight?
The more I think about it, the more tired I get, the more I can't sleep:
Where did Jin Di go, did he go to find Chen Ran? And is Chen Ran Jin Di's relative? Will there be any accidents? Unexpectedly, these questions made Jiang Mo keep thinking. And the work of agreeing to persuade the thief to quit Tiandan, he couldn't do it in place, but he didn't have so many worries, whether it was Tiandan or Tiandan, or the thief, it was not a friend or a community of interests, everything depended on their own creation...
