Chapter 44: The Inner Ghost
In the tent, Song Wan had just taken off her night clothes and changed into her clothes, when she heard Xiao Beichen's call outside, "Wanwan, are you okay?" ”
Hearing this, she walked to the tent and lifted the curtain to pull him in, "Are you hurt?" ”
"No, to be exact, I didn't face the rogues at all, this battle is really strange" After thinking about it, Xiao Beichen said in a low voice: "This is not like a group of unorganized rogues can plan to do something, I suspect that someone is behind it." ”
"I feel the same way, and you see, what is this?"
"Topographic map?"
"Well, although a lot of it has been burned by the time I arrived, judging from the remaining traces, this does look like a topographic map on our side," Song Wan looked around vigilantly and asked softly: "I just heard that King Qi will go to the battlefield early tomorrow morning to face the enemy?" ”
"Yes, this time he changed his cautious attitude and took such a quick counterattack, which is not quite like his usual style."
When the words fell, Song Wan raised her eyebrows and pondered for a long time, secretly thinking that this battle in the previous life was without Ji Qinian's participation, but now that he is not only here, but he can also understand the attributes of those enemies so well, if there is no secret in this, she doesn't believe it...."Xiao Beichen, tonight's sneak attack of the Liukou is so fast and accurate, in addition to being familiar with the terrain we have here, he also picked the right time, and after finishing the matter, he also planned the route early and retreated, all of this, don't you think it's too coincidental, too strange?" ”
"Wanwan mean, we have an inner ghost here?"
"Xiao Beichen" Song Wan did not answer his original words directly, but gently threw out a sentence that seemed to stir up a thousand waves: "It seems that the plan is about to change.....
At the end of the next day, Ji Qinian, as the commander, led the deputy marshal Pei Ze and the 30,000 soldiers behind him to embark on the battlefield early, while General Hui led the remaining 3,000 elites to make a detour, preparing to kill the gang of rogues by surprise according to yesterday's plan.... Looking at their figures that had gone away, Song Wan thought for a moment, turned around and went to the tent to change into night clothes, and walked in the opposite direction to them.....
Walking all the way through the suburbs, she thought back to what happened last night, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had missed something. And the man in black she saw last night was not Liao Ao, the reason why she was so sure was because she had fought with the other party in her previous life, and she knew that this guy was actually afraid of fire and would not make the move of burning the token! But if it's not him, then there is only one possibility left, that is, there is another person in this battle.... Now that the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light, if they are always in such a passive state, the situation will be very unfavorable for them!
"Did you bring anything?"
Hearing this, seeing that someone was talking in front of the grass house, Song Wanneatly hid behind the tree and secretly observed.....
"Remember, there is no solution to this poison, don't make a mistake and get into trouble."
"yes, what else does that man have to say?"
"After three days, Huirong doesn't have to stay, as for the plan, it's good for you."
"Hehe, it's generous, and it's not in vain our partnership."
Cooperate? Song Wan turned around and wanted to see the appearance of the two of them a little more clearly, but she never thought that she accidentally stepped on the thin branch on the ground and made a strange noise.... Oops! Wow, a hidden weapon broke through the air, Song Wan reacted quickly and raised her sword to block it, and the hidden weapon fell to the ground in response. "Who?"
Inevitably attracted the attention of the people in front, Song Wan was reluctant to fight, and wanted to leave with light skills, but she was still surrounded by that person and stabbed with a sword.... Damn, there's poison on the sword! Seeing this, she threw out a smoke pipe and released it into the sky, and a series of sounds quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers, seeing that she hesitated slightly, Song Wan immediately grabbed the sand from the ground and threw it forward, while she turned around and fled into the bushes.....
On the other side, Xiao Beichen, who heard the sound in the air, secretly said that it was not good, and knew that Song Wan must have had an accident, so he turned around and ordered behind him: "There is an abnormal movement ahead, Deputy General Zhang will lead people to go with me to find out, and the rest will stay in the camp tent to prevent the enemy from attacking again." ”
"Yes!"
Song Wan, who had been walking forward, knew that the other party should not be chasing, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but as she ran, she also accelerated the flow of toxins, and now she only felt weak, and her vision was getting more and more blurry, and the symptoms were vaguely like.... Just as she was about to fall, a pair of big hands hugged her, "Wanwan? ”
Seeing that the wound on her left arm was still bleeding black, knowing that she was poisoned, he immediately picked her up and walked to the camp, and instructed Meng Yu as he walked: "Lead the people to continue the search, I want to live." "He wants to see who is stirring up the storm here!
"Yes, Lord!"
In the tent, Xiao Beichen carefully put Song Wan on the wooden bed, and after untying her clothes, he lowered his head and sucked out the toxins one by one on her wound again, and waited until her blood returned to normal, then he tore the cloth strip to bandage her, and took out the pill and put it into her mouth, guarding her to wake up....
"The Four Princes"
Hearing that it was Yao Xuetang's voice, Xiao Beichen frowned, secretly thinking that he couldn't let anyone know that Song Wan was injured, so he pulled the thin quilt over her body, and he ripped off his belt, took off his coat, and went to open the door tent with only his middle coat, "Miss Yao, what's wrong?" ”
"Fourth prince, I just heard the sound" Secretly ignoring the other party's disheveled appearance, Yao Xuetang continued: "I went to look for Miss Song, she is not here, I was worried about what happened, so I found here, Fourth Prince, have you ever seen Miss Song?" ”
"Well, she's in my tent."
Hearing this, Yao Xuetang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect the other party to admit it so explicitly as her face, "Fourth prince, what are you talking about?" ”
"Hehe, didn't Miss Yao see it" Xiao Beichen smiled evilly, and said evilly: "There was indeed something strange in front of me just now, but I couldn't find anything after I passed, so I came back with someone." After all, there is still a beautiful woman waiting for the prince here, as the so-called peony flower dies, and it is also romantic to be a ghost. Miss Yao, you won't be so uninteresting and want to disturb my good deeds, right?" Inevitably having a long night and dreaming a lot, Xiao Beichen directly issued an eviction order, "Since there is nothing to do, Miss Yao should please go back, I still have "business" to do, so I will not accompany me here." ”
After sending people back to the camp, Xiao Beichen found that Song Wan had woken up leisurely in bed at some point, and was looking at him with a speechless look at him at this time, "You will do everything you can to ruin my reputation." ”
"Hehe, it's not like there's no way to make this decision."
"So put my clothes ..... Is there no way to make this decision? ”
Xiao Beichen touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "The wound is poisonous, I am here to save you, that's why I can"
Alas.... Song Wan sighed loudly in her heart, what kind of scoundrel is she!
"Be careful" Seeing that she wanted to get up, afraid that she would not pay attention to the wound, Xiao Beichen immediately walked over and gently helped her to lean on her body, and instructed: "I just bandaged it, don't let the wound crack again." ”
"Xiao Beichen"
"Huh?"
"Do you know what this poison is?"
"Red Lotus, this poison can be solved or not, if you don't suck the toxin out in time within a stick of incense," Xiao Beichen's eyes sank, thinking that if he was so late, the consequences would be unimaginable.....
"Well, I've learned about this in medical books before, Xiao Beichen" Song Wan closed her eyes, secretly thinking that this poison really consumes people's spirits. "I'm afraid someone is going to murder General Hui."
"What do you mean?"
"I just tracked down to the grass hut and overheard the conversation of suspicious people, I wanted to see their faces clearly, but who knew that I was careless and exposed my traces, and then someone got into the gap," Song Wan couldn't help but say with a little regret.
"But what is their purpose?"
"Although this place in the Western Desert is a desolate place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and General Hui holds the military power again and does not stand on the partisanship, I am afraid that there are many people in the court staring at this piece of "fat meat". ”
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen thought for a while and asked slowly, "Wanwan, are you suspicious of King Qi?" ”
"No" Song Wan shook her head rarely, and said softly: "If I hadn't been poisoned, I would indeed have preferred King Qi to be the person behind the scenes, but as I said just now, I had a preliminary understanding of this poison in medical books earlier, and I knew that this thing grows in a cool place on the edge of the cliff all year round, and it is extremely sensitive to heat, and there is only one place that can meet this condition." ”
"Persia?"
"Yes, and Persia is the most advanced country in poison, I can't think of any other place where people can carry rare poisons with them anytime and anywhere."
"If the truth is what you say, then"
"Yes" Song Wan glanced at her and affirmed: "The person who saved Yuwen Ying that day is probably also involved in this battle, and we have a third party here." ”
Thinking of Yao Xuetang's motive for coming over at the hour earlier, Song Wan couldn't help but secretly become suspicious, she didn't believe that this was a coincidence, but it seemed to be a form to test her existence or not! If Yao Xuetang is really the ghost of the third party, then what is the matter between her and Ji Qinian, and what is Ji Qinian's plan? And now Liao Ao's figure has never been found! This kind of mystery is wrapped up, and it only conveys one message, that is, next, I am afraid that there will be a "big drama" here.....
"King Qi, I have searched all around, but I have never found any trace of Master Pei."
"Hmph, this person dares to collude with the enemy, I'm afraid that when he saw his conspiracy exposed, he absconded in fear of crime" General Hui covered his bleeding injured arm, and said indignantly: "He'd better not let me find it, otherwise the souls of the soldiers who died tragically at the hands of the enemy last night, I will let him repay them one by one." ”
"General Hui, it was the king's poor control that made those soldiers lose their lives in vain, Pei Ze has followed this king for many years, and this king is really to blame."
"The second prince doesn't need to blame himself, if it weren't for the second prince's opportunity to make a plan and see through the traitor's tricks, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark at this time."
"King Qi, the enemy has retreated beyond the border"
"Okay" Ji Qinian glanced at the turbulent river below, knowing that he should have no chance of survival, so he turned around and ordered: "This battle is a great victory, all the soldiers will return to the camp with this king, and they can celebrate their achievements in the evening." ”
"Yes, thank you King Qi!"
The crowd returned to the barracks with a sense of victory, and the night was just about to begin......
