Chapter 43: Sneak Attack
On the other side, as soon as Pei Ze came back, he received a report from his subordinates, saying that King Qi was waiting for him in the camp. "King Qi, are you looking for me?"
"Pei Ze" Ji Qinian slowly turned around and looked at this subordinate who had followed him for many years, if the situation didn't allow it, he really didn't want to come to this point, don't blame this king! "I heard that you have close contacts with the people on the fourth brother's side, but is there such a thing?"
"Is King Qi talking about Song Wan?"
"Last time in the Showa Palace incident, did you intervene in it?" Looking at his silent appearance, Ji Qinian said with a little regret: "The mother concubine is very displeased! Pei Ze, you have been with me for so many years, you should know what you can do and what you can't do, how can you commit such a taboo? ”
"Pray for the King"
"Okay" interrupted his unfinished words, Ji Qinian patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded bitterly: "I have already said it to the concubine, this battle of the enemy is our last chance, Pei Ze, don't let me down." ”
"Yes"....
That night, Song Wan seemed to be patrolling along the riverside, but in fact, she was still worried about Liao Ao's matter alone. For some reason, when she couldn't catch that person for a day, the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she always felt that there was something in it that she hadn't seen through and missed....
"Miss Song?"
Hearing this familiar voice calling her, Song Wan suddenly felt a sense of vigilance, how could he come? "The Folk Girl Sees the King of Prayer"
"No ceremony" Ji Qinian quietly observed the woman in front of him, remembering what his mother had said to him... Now it seems that this person's calm and capable ability is indeed a rare talent, and if he can't be co-opted, there will be a big hidden danger in his plan. "Last time in the Showa Palace, the mother concubine wronged Miss Song because of her subordinates, and I have always been deeply sorry for this. So this time, let me see Miss Song and help her pass a sentence: When the battle is over, she will hold a banquet in the Showa Palace, and invite Miss Song to appreciate her face at that time. ”
Hearing this, Song Wan guessed Ji Qinian's intention in an instant, it turned out that the greetings were fake, and it was true that she wanted to win her over! Oh, if it was Song Wan in the previous life, when he threw an olive branch, she would indeed go ashore defenselessly, but she knew too well the tragic ending of standing behind him, so even if the jade was burned in this life, she would not repeat the mistakes of the past! "I also asked King Qi to convey on my behalf that the kindness of Concubine Yu was appreciated by the people's daughter. Besides" After a pause, Song Wan raised her head and looked at him, and said firmly: "Now that the folk girl has made a choice, she has never thought of changing it in the future. ”
"Really? Hehe" Ji Qinian smiled, and said indispensably: "Miss Song, the road ahead is dangerous, so this king wishes you what you want" After that, Ji Qinian didn't want to waste his tongue anymore, 'Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die'! Since this woman is so stubborn, don't blame him for being ruthless....
Waiting for people to go away, Song Wan frowned and pondered, it stands to reason that for the prey that he fancies, it is not Ji Qinian's style to give up easily, let alone at this time, unless...."Wanwan", someone interrupted her thoughts, Song Wan looked back, only to see Xiao Beichen walking behind her with a cloak, and blamed her while putting it on: "The West Desert is not as good as Beijing, and it is cold at night, why don't you run around without wearing a coat?" What if you catch a cold! ”
"Hmm" Song Wan gently snuggled in his arms, and said playfully: "Because I know you'll come, I won't wear it." ”
"You" Xiao Beichen pinched the bridge of her nose lightly, and said with a doting smile: "Eccentric." ”
"Xiao Beichen"
"Huh?"
"After the battle is over, have you thought about how to deal with it when you return to Beijing this time?"
"Huh? What to deal with? ”
"Xiao Beichen" Song Wan reached out and pinched his arm, threatening: "Still pretending to be stupid for me?" ”
"Hehe" Xiao Beichen hugged her gently, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Tease you, see if you are in a hurry"
"Hmph"
"Don't worry, I have my own way to get rid of that big trouble when I go back this time, and at the same time, I can dispel my father's doubts, you don't need to worry."
"What's the solution?"
"Well, you'll find out then."
Seeing that he still has the heart to sell Guanzi, he must be ninety percent sure, thinking about this, Song Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it is better to do this with that person, it is better to let him do it, they are related by blood, she doesn't, if outsiders repeatedly hit the stone with an egg, there is no guarantee that they will be safe and sound every time like last time.
"By the way, have you met with King Qi?"
"Hmm"
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything" Xiao Beichen helped her straighten her hair that was blown by the wind, and then said: "General Hui has enough experience in marching in the Western Desert, we just came here to assist, judging from the layout map, this battle is not difficult to fight, but they have eaten the convenience of the terrain, and it is not enough to worry about it." ”
"Don't underestimate the enemy, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems."
"Wanwan has something to say?"
"Well, I think King Qi's trip is probably for another purpose" After saying that, Song Wan took out the pill she was carrying and handed it to him, and instructed: "You take this in case you need it." Although I haven't figured out the conspiracy behind this battle, my intuition tells me that something must be different, and you need to be careful. ”
"Okay, I know, I'll be careful, don't worry"
"Lord"
Seeing that it was Meng Yu who came over, and knew that they must have something important to talk about, Song Wan took the initiative to take a step back and said, "I'll go back to the camp first, you can get busy." ”
Not long after she turned around and left, Xiao Beichen looked at Meng Yu with a serious expression, and said coldly: "What, have you found it?" ”
"Yes, my lord, Miss Yao stayed in Showa Palace for a period of time before leaving Beijing, and was finally sent back by the carriage from King Qi's mansion, as for whether King Qi was present that day, it will take time for the time being."
"No need to check" Xiao Beichen cut off his words and said categorically: "As long as she appears in the Showa Palace, whether King Qi is present or not, I will buckle this hat for him, hum, just like this, she still wants to grasp it with both hands, but she has a big appetite!" ”
"Lord, my subordinates have accidentally discovered one thing"
"Say"
"Someone once met Miss Yao outside the palace, and she looked like the long-missing Persian princess, but it was too far away for her subordinates to hear what they were plotting."
"Yuwen Sakura?" Unexpectedly, this person was still in the capital, which he didn't expect, but this also proved his earlier guess, the more deeply hidden people, the more prominent their status, it seems that someone can't wait to join this "war"....
"Continue to pay close attention to Yao Xuetang's movements, and if there is anything wrong, come and report to me immediately."
"Yes"
.........
It was late at night, but the well-organized guards suddenly burst out into exclamation, followed by a terrible cry that was better than the other, and in an instant the blood stained the entire perimeter of the tent, and the strange blood stains on the ground added a touch of brilliant color to this restless night....
"Report to the general, the enemy is suddenly attacking, and our enemy has suffered heavy casualties"
"Report to the general, the enemy is burning our grain and grass"
"Report to the general, our road is blocked, and the river has been poisoned"
"Report General" .....
"General Hui, how is the battle?" Xiao Beichen, who rushed over when he heard the sound, took the lead in asking the person in front of him.
"The soldiers lost thirty percent, half of the grain and grass were burned, the road ahead was blocked, and the water was poisoned" The more he thought about it, the more remorseful Hui Rong slapped the table violently, and the long beard shook three times with his movements, "It's my carelessness, I didn't expect that those rogues still have the hand of sneak attack in the dark night, if they succeed this time, I really die 10,000 times is not enough to apologize, how can I face the people of the Western Desert!" ”
"General Hui, this is not the time to regret and feel sad, it is the best policy to come up with a way to solve the dilemma."
"The fourth brother is right" Ji Qinian stepped in from outside, and said directly: "The enemy is a group of people who are messing around, and we must take a quick knife to cut through the chaos for them, so tomorrow morning, the king will bring the army to the border to have the first head-to-head confrontation with them, General Hui, you will be in the rear at any time to support, since they killed us by surprise tonight, then we will blow it tomorrow, and we can't let today's compatriots suffer in vain." ”
"Okay, the second prince is right, if they are unkind, we will be unjust! What kind of gentleman is talking to a bunch of barbarians on the battlefield, hum, it's really bullshit! The last general will go down and tell the army to get ready, and he will kill them tomorrow......
Seeing that he was filled with righteous indignation, he went down to carry out the military order, Ji Qinian turned around and said to Xiao Beichen with a smile: "Fourth brother, it is better for you to be responsible for guarding the military camp tomorrow, after all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and you still have little combat experience, it is not good if you get hurt anything, right!" ”
"Hehe, the second prince has fought with the enemy earlier, and he must know their battle strategy, so just follow the orders of the second prince."
"The fourth brother is a sensible person, so I'll leave it to you here."
"Well said, well said" .....
As soon as "Meng Yu" walked out of the tent, Xiao Beichen instructed him: "Go down and search around here to see if there are any suspicious people, if you find it, arrest it immediately, remember, you must keep your mouth alive." ”
"Yes."
Yao Xuetang, the "fourth prince", walked out of his tent and said worriedly: "Are the four princes injured?" ”
"Miss Yao" saw that he wanted to step forward to investigate his injuries, Xiao Beichen frowned and took a step back, and said strongly: "It's not too early, Miss Yao should go back to the camp as soon as possible to rest, and I won't worry about Miss Yao."
"The fourth prince, please stay, I have something to say" Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, Yao Xuetang hurriedly said in a voice: "When the rogue sneak attack earlier, I accidentally found a person with the symbol of an eagle in his hand, I have always heard that there is a person with the existence of the number one Nighthawk in the people, I suspect that this matter has something to do with this organization, the four princes should be careful." ”
"Oh? Is it a nighthawk" Xiao Beichen smiled silently, it seemed that this person's wishful thinking was in the wrong place, "But" He turned around to look at Yao Xuetang, who was also dressed lightly at this time, and said in a low voice: "Since Miss Yao has 'seen' the enemy's secrets.... The sword has always been eyeless on the battlefield, but take care. ”
Hearing this, Yao Xuetang frowned slightly, seeing that she didn't seem to have any special reaction to this news, she couldn't help but ring the alarm bell in her heart, could it be...."Miss Yao, please go back, early tomorrow morning, Miss Yao needs to do her job as a military doctor and take care of the soldiers who were injured tonight." ”
It's impossible, there will be no mistakes in the plan, she better not worry about it first, so as not to show her feet if she is a little careless, "In this case, Xuetang will retire first." ”
Looking at her disappearing back, Xiao Beichen's eyes flashed with a gleam, it seems that she was really Wanwan said, this matter is far more complicated than it seems on the surface....
