Chapter 255: Where to Go
"You wanted to see General Yang before, and then you wanted to see Fang Tongzhi, and now you want to see our General Zhu and say, who are you? What happened to the Zhenyao Army? Is it harboring ulterior motives? β
The gatekeeper lost his face and scolded in a deep voice.
"The military master misunderstood, the villain is definitely a good citizen, and he asked to see General Zhu because General Yang and Wu Tongzhi were not there, and the matter was very important, so it ...... Please also ask the military master to help you say goodbye, if you wish the general no more villains, the villain will leave immediately, and never disturb the military masters again! β
Li Xuan nervously explained.
It's just that the soldiers guarding the gate dare to ask the main general because of the words of an inexplicable person who changed their minds back and forth, if something goes wrong, where can they afford it.
"What's going on?" King Jin was walking to the gate of the barracks, and when he saw this scene, he became curious, he was idle anyway, and he could pass the time by asking about idle things.
"Your Highness!" As soon as the soldiers guarding the gate saw King Jin, they immediately knelt down and said goodbye.
King Jin waved his hand, "No need to be polite, say it quickly, what's going on?" β
Li Cabin had already known that there was a royal highness who went north with the Zhenyao army this time, and from the sound of His Royal Highness from the soldiers guarding the door, he guessed that the young man with a noble temperament standing less than three zhang away from him was His Royal Highness King Jinwang, the fifth prince of the current saint.
Li Cang didn't know much about King Jin, and he didn't dare to speak casually, but fortunately, the soldiers guarding the gate were a little embarrassed, and now that King Jin had asked, one of the more bold and articulate gatekeepers immediately repeated the matter.
"What's your name? Where did it come from? What is the reason for coming to the barracks? β
King Jin intuitively felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward and asked.
It's just that when he was about to walk out of the gate of the barracks, Wang Bao hurriedly walked a few steps and walked in front of King Jin, "Your Highness, be careful of deceit!" β
As soon as the soldiers guarding the gate heard Wang Bao's words, they immediately held the swords at their waists and waited for them.
King Jin naturally didn't joke about his safety, he stood in the barracks and didn't go out of the gate.
Li Cabin hurriedly knelt down, supported the ground with both hands, and kowtowed a few times, "The villain greets His Royal Highness King Jin!" The villain is a friend of Zhanpei, the guard next to the six girls of Anpingbo Mansion, entrusted by her, to come to the Zhenyao army to find General Yang, the six girls of Anpingbo Mansion were kidnapped, and when the little one received the news of Zhanpei, the person was already in Mo County, but now more than a day has passed, and I don't know if the person has been transferred. β
As for the matter of the eldest girl in the Zhenguo Mansion, Li Cabin hesitated for a moment and did not say it.
After all, it's not certain.
King Jin's brows furrowed, "Who kidnapped Miss Geng Liu?" β
Li Cang said: "The news from Zhanpei said that it was the horse thief Sand Boss and his party in the Western Lands, and as for the person behind them, it should be Xie Kun, the governor of the two cities in the Western Lands."
"Xie Kun? He's not a little bold, and before we have time to trouble him, he's the first to strike! β
King Jin gritted his teeth and reprimanded, and suddenly turned around, "You come in with this king!" β
Li Bao was still kneeling, and Wang Bao turned around and shouted, "Your Highness called you, don't hurry up and keep up!" β
Only then did Li Cabin understand that King Jin was letting him go in together.
He hurriedly stood up and walked into the barracks with some nervousness.
King Jin did not stop until he walked to the front of the main general's tent.
Along the way, King Jin went through all the things that could be related to this matter in his heart, but he always felt that it was still a little short.
Although Zhu Yue was having lunch, but King Jin asked to see him, he naturally would not let people wait, under the leadership of King Jin, Li Cang easily entered the main general's tent.
"Your Highness!" Zhu Yue stood up.
King Jin waved his hand, "General, this person claims to be a friend of a guard next to the six girls of Anping Bo Mansion, he asked to see the general outside the camp tent, and I met him, so he brought people in, he said that Xie Kun sent someone to kidnap the six girls of Anping Bo Mansion, oh, by the way, the six girls of Anping Bo Mansion are Yang Tianmo's fiancΓ©e. β
King Jin explained the matter succinctly, and then said to Li Zheng: "You tell the general everything you know."
Li Cang was a little helpless, Your Highness, you have finished speaking, what else do I say.
Although he thought like this in his heart, Li Cabin still recounted in detail what he knew, and even in Zhu Yue's skillful inquiry, he was bald out what he was not going to say.
Among them, the eldest girl of the Zhenguo Mansion is likely to be kidnapped by the bandits of the Black Scorpion Village.
"What do you say? Yan'er is also in Mo County? Hearing that his daughter had also been kidnapped, Zhu Yue couldn't maintain his original calmness.
Li Cang was shocked in his heart, opened his mouth, forget it, since he said it, let's say it.
The messenger that Zhan Pei was looking for here had just arrived at the Zhenyao Army barracks, and Lu Xi had been hovering in the sky for a few hours, and finally flew in one direction.
Geng Xingshuang knew that Zhanpei was looking for someone to go to Zhenyao's army, but she was not worried that the news would not be able to reach Yang Tianmo, she made two preparations, in addition to Zhanpei's side, there was also Luxi.
It's just that she doesn't have a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so she can only write a few words on the handkerchief with charcoal, telling Yang Tianmo that she was kidnapped and is now in Mo County, and then she should go west from Mo County to Xiaocheng, and speculated that Zhu Yan encountered a situation similar to her, and the trip was about a day earlier than herself.
The news must have been delivered, and she had already calculated the time, and from the news that the bandit Si had inadvertently revealed, she deduced that once they arrived in Mo County, they would rest on the spot for two days, buy sufficient supplies, and then set off for the West.
For this route, and the preparations to be made, Geng Xingshuang is a little unintelligible, Xiaocheng is in the northwest of Moxian County, from Moxian County to Xiaocheng, if you take the official road, if there is no accident, the carriage should be able to arrive in about two or three days, although it is now winter, the snow road is difficult to walk, at most it will be delayed for a day or two, but the materials prepared by a few bandits seem to need to trek through mountains and rivers for more than a month.
"What the hell are they going to do?" Geng Xingshuang felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Girl, today is the second day, according to the plan of those bandits, they will leave tomorrow, and the sixth prince will send someone to save us, right?" Jinbao was also a little uneasy.
The county magistrate of Moxian County should have taken refuge in King Ping, or obeyed Xie Kun's orders, so even if Yang Tianmo received the news in time, he probably wouldn't have done anything in Moxian County.
As soon as Geng Xingshuang wanted to speak, he heard a slight movement outside the window.
The voice......
Jinbao immediately walked to the door, listened carefully, and then signaled to Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingshuang understood, opened the window, and Lu Xi stood on the narrow window lattice, trying to shrink his huge body into a small ball, but the effect was not obvious.
Fortunately, it was dark now, and it was not too noticeable, and Geng Xingshuang quickly took a letter from its lap.
"Girl, is it a letter written by the sixth son?" Jin Bao asked, as soon as the words came out, he knew that he was asking a stupid thing, and the letter brought by Lu Xi was not a second person except for Yang Liugongzi.
"He is on the way to Yujue Mountain, but he has already asked Hongfu to send a letter to the Wucheng Dart Bureau, the Wucheng Dart Bureau is in Pingcheng, according to the time calculation, if it is not delayed, the people from the Wucheng Dart Bureau should arrive in Mo County at noon tomorrow."
Geng Xingshuang quickly read the letter, then put the letter paper on top of the oil lamp, watching the letter paper gradually burn in the flames, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to be becoming more and more obvious in the beating flames.
She expected a lot of situations, but she didn't expect Yang Tianmo to leave Cangcheng and go to Yujue Mountain, and he was also the chief general of the 10,000-strong army.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to have much impact on where Yang Tingmo is, after all, she didn't think that Yang Tingmo could come to save her in person from the beginning, but ...... Now this situation suddenly gave her a feeling that everything was unexpected.
Fortunately, she has always been able to reconcile her emotions, and although her thoughts are chaotic, she thinks that tomorrow will require more energy, and she slept well this night.
In a hazy moment, Geng Xingshuang seemed to hear Jinbao calling her, and she opened her eyes with difficulty.
"What's wrong? Campbell? β
"Girl, they're going to take us away now!" Jinbao's voice was a little tense.
Geng Xingshuang opened his eyes, "Is it dawn?" β
She gradually came to her senses, and was greeted by the dim glow of the oil lamp.
"What time is it?" She asked Jinbao, but she knew in her heart that it should not exceed Mao Zheng, although the winter day was late, but through the window lattice, there was not even a little blue skylight.
Sure enough, I listened to Jinbao: "I just arrived in Yinzheng."
"Okay, no, I'm leaving!" As he was talking, there was a banging knock on the door outside, although Geng Xingshuang Jinbao won the treatment of living in a room alone, but the four bandits have been taking turns guarding the door, if they live in an ordinary bungalow, there are people guarding even outside the window.
Fortunately, this time they stayed on the second floor of an inn, and they could still contact Luxi through the window.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Jinbao hurriedly replied.
The banging outside the door did not stop, and there was a posture that they were about to break in if they didn't come out again.
Geng Xingshuang held his breath, walked quickly to the door, and pulled the door hard, and the bandits guarding outside the door couldn't control their momentum and almost fell in.
"Hurry up, big brother is urging!"
I don't know if it's really anxious, or if it's annoyed and angry, the bandit urges in a thick voice.
It was still dark, and the carriage was walking on the dark street, with only the faint light emitted by a dead wind lamp carried by the bandits.
It was very cold in the carriage, but fortunately, Jinbao quickly burned the charcoal basin, and the master and servant wrapped themselves in quilts before they eased up a little.
"Second Master Sha, Fourth Master Sha, why are you in a hurry to leave now, it's not dawn yet!"
In order to get the news from a few bandits, Jinbao felt that he could lower his posture, aggrieved his mouth, and reluctantly call them a master, just know what kind of goods they are
When the fourth bandit heard that he was called by Jinbao Sha Siye, he was proud, and was about to answer, when he heard the sand boss riding in front of him suddenly say: "Fourth, it's not dawn yet, don't be noisy, disturb people's dreams!"
The bandit immediately didn't dare to speak anymore.
Seeing this, Geng Xingshuang's heart was slightly cold.
Along the way, when they asked the two bandits and the four bandits about some information, Boss Sha almost never stopped them as clearly as he did now.
The carriage had been walking through the silent streets for about half an hour, when Campbell secretly lifted the curtain and glanced out.
At the dawn of winter, a faint blue light was gradually revealed, and the sky was about to dawn, but they walked out of the gate of Moxian County.
"Girl, it's the North City Gate!"
Jin Bao was surprised, but at this moment, Fu Zhi thought of the problem he had been confused about in the past two days.
From Ningdu City to the two cities in the west, from Moxian County, although there are official roads along the way, the road is relatively easier to walk, but this is not the only route, and it is a long detour.
Before, she thought that these bandits were looking at her money, and because in winter, there was often snow on the road, and the official road was easier to walk.
If this is the case, they should go out of the city through the west gate of the city of Mo County and go directly to the west, instead of going north, and the north is Pingcheng.
"Pingcheng and Cangcheng are closer, and the Zhenyao army is in Cangcheng." Jinbao suddenly thought of this, and was quite surprised.
Geng Xingshuang saw it clearly, "I won't enter Pingcheng, I once saw the map of Daning, from the north gate of the city of Yanxian County, go to the northwest, there is a town called Gushan Town, the town is about thirty miles away, it is an endless desert, go in different directions from the desert, if you are lucky enough to survive, you can go to different places." β
