Pei Zheng replied with an extremely serious expression: "I dare to swear in the name of the ancestors of the Pei family, this plan is feasible." ”

"As the general said, the humble duty is in its prime, and there is a great future in front of him, and he will not be sent to death for no reason. ”

Lin Xing's expression was solemn, and he nodded: "Ben will believe you." ”

"But this matter is not a matter of one person, you still have to convince Lord Wen. ”

A smile just appeared on Pei Zheng's face, and after hearing the next sentence, his face froze, I suspect that you are playing tricks on me.

Lin Xing then asked, "What do you think of Master Wen?"

Wen Feng wanted to veto it directly, but it can be seen that Lin Xing seemed to agree with Pei Zheng's opinion, and couldn't help but change his words: "Almost everyone in the mission is injured, so you can change the word, so how can this official believe you?"

"If you want to convince the official, you have to come up with a more substantive plan, how to ensure that the thieves will not catch up after the diversion? How to ensure that these guards will not lose their lives on the road because of the worsening of their injuries on the road? How to ensure that the delicate body of the prince of the grassland can withstand the fatigue of the boat and car?"

"If you only talk vaguely and vaguely, don't mention it. ”

Pei Zheng showed a confident smile on his face, and said slowly: "The problem that the adults said, I just thought about it. ”

"The path chosen by the lowly is winding and untraceable, and it is very confusing, and as long as it travels fast enough, it is difficult for the average person to follow. ”

"In my humble experience, there will be a snowstorm recently, and the heavy snow will cover the horseshoe prints, and the two will be superimposed, so that no one can find a trace. ”

Wen Feng's expression was slightly cold: "Braving the wind and snow, hurrying with injuries, do you think they can bear it?"

Pei Zheng said with a serious expression: "Of course I can't bear it, but I didn't think about bringing them with me." ”

"The target of the thieves is mainly the prince of the grassland, no matter how bad it is, it is also an adult and a general, but it will not be these guards, they are injured, and it is not suitable to follow them south. ”

"Fifteen miles away from here, there is a town called Xinhe Town, and I plan to let them go to Xinhe Town to recuperate and recuperate, and wait until the injury is better, or wait for the spring of next year, and then go south. ”

"This is a double win, which not only saves their lives, but also reduces the risk of the mission being exposed, why not do it?"

Wen Feng was slightly moved when he heard this, and it was indeed a good idea to place the guards in the local area and go south in the spring.

"And who are you going to bring?"

Pei Zheng stretched out four fingers: "You, General Lin, the prince of the grassland, I, the four of us will go south together, and the rest of the people, not one of them." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Zheng scratched his head and added, "By the way, you can ride a horse, right?"

Wen Feng's face darkened: "This official and gentleman are all outstanding in the six arts, how can there be a reason not to ride a horse?"

Pei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, your carriage is wide enough, just enough to settle the seriously injured, and the lightly injured can ride forward, fifteen miles away in Xinhe Town, it can be reached after dark." ”

"As for the three subordinates of the Humble Ranks, the Humble Rank intends to have them follow the example of the other two three days ago, and take the same number of horses with them to the southward speed according to the original route, so as to disturb our line of sight and share the pressure. ”

Wen Feng waved his hand and said, "Wait, the prince of the grassland can't ride a horse, how are you going to take him with you?"

Pei Zheng replied with a serious expression: "Before leaving, I deliberately brought a lot of quilts, and I have been riding horses since I was a child, and my equestrian skills are excellent, so I can wrap the prince of the grassland with a quilt and put it behind him, and take him to ride together." ”

"The lowly assurances him that this is much more comfortable than riding in a carriage. ”

Wen Feng suddenly fell silent, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Pei Zheng's proposal.

Lin Xing is not as deep as Wen Feng, and after listening to it, he praised it: "Okay, very good, what I expected is right, you kid really has a way." ”

When he saw that Wen Feng was still hesitant, he further persuaded: "What Lord Wen thinks, I don't know, and I can't speculate, but no matter what, it should be important to save the life of the prince of the grassland." ”

"If the prince dies, you and I will have the high hopes of Your Majesty, and it will once again trigger the Great Xia and Hu people to fight, consuming national and people's strength, so that the soldiers of the Northwest Province will die on the battlefield, and the people's taxes will be aggravated. ”

Wen Feng's expression moved slightly, and he finally relented: "Then let's change the route." ”

After saying this, I saw that Wen Feng's whole person was relaxed, as if he had unloaded some burden.

"Pei Zheng, as Zhao Gu's subordinate, you have a good relationship with the official, if you are on weekdays, the official may take care of you, but today, the official is unhappy. ”

"If you can arrive in Chang'an safely and smoothly with this official and the prince of the grassland, this official will promise you a favor, and you will be rewarded in the future. ”

"If you have no talent and no virtue, you will only be ashamed, so that this mission fails, as long as the official does not die, he will definitely investigate your mistakes. ”

Pei Zheng was stunned when he heard this, what a mess you made, I was kind enough to come out and clean it up, but you want to put the black pot on my head, are you crazy?

Lin Xing on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "I'm afraid that Lord Wen's words are a little out of place, I would have thought that it was up to people to make things happen, and it was up to heaven to make things happen, and Pei Zheng only needed to do his best." ”

Wen Feng said with a smile: "General Lin's words are wrong, if there is no corresponding reward and punishment, how can you ensure that a person can do his best?"

"Needless to say, the official has made up his mind, and he is ready to set off according to Pei Zheng's plan. ”

......

A quarter of an hour later, after Wen Feng presided over the condolences for the dead guard, Pei Zheng carefully looked at the so-called prince of the grassland for the first time.

He is about five years old, white and chubby, and cute.

I don't know where to bring the young master of the rich human rights noble family in Daxia.

Pei Zheng once again confirmed his original guess, he had seen many Hu people's children, due to the dry and cold climate of the grassland, many children, including the heirs of certain tribal leaders, had dark and dry skin.

Even if you are fat, you are black and fat, how can you grow into such a white and tender appearance?

But no matter what Pei Zheng guessed or thought, this child's current identity is the prince of the grassland king, even if it is fake, it is true.

Pei Zheng smiled at the child, wrapped him in a quilt, leaving only his head exposed for breathing, and then tied the person with the quilt behind him with a rope, and turned over on the horse.

Under his leadership, four men and nine horsemen quickly crossed the river and headed south.

......

In a valley hundreds of miles away from Xinhe Town, Li Kang, who had escaped with his life, knelt on one knee in front of a black-clothed masked man.

"My lord, the operation failed, that Wen Feng is a hidden master, the blood-drinking gun was calculated, and his life was killed in his hands, the little one desperately escaped with injuries, and specially rushed to report to the adult. ”

"Waste. The black-clothed masked man reprimanded mercilessly, and said in a low voice: "Come on, quickly investigate, where is the mission?"

After the man in black finished speaking, more than a dozen figures dressed in white and masked with white scarves appeared in the valley, scattering in all directions.

A quarter of an hour later, a white-clothed man returned, bowed down and said, "My lord, the mission is divided into three teams, one team of guards, and they have arrived in Xinhe Town to recuperate, and the whereabouts of the second and third teams are unknown for the time being, and it is suspected that they have gone south." ”

Half an hour later, another man in white returned: "Lord Yu, the little one found that there were two tracks going south, the speed was too fast, Liang Cheng and they chased after them." ”

An hour later, a white-clothed man returned: "Report, my lord, Liang Cheng has found traces of the two teams of the mission fleeing south, one of which suddenly turned to the east and crossed the great river that has not yet frozen, and the other team continues to move south. ”

"Report, my lord, Liang Cheng found that the people who had crossed the river eastward had returned to the west bank of the river after traveling thirty miles south. ”

"Report, my lord, Liang Cheng once again found traces of that team on the east bank. ”

"Newspaper, my lord, the pair of trails have reappeared on the West Bank. ”

The black-clothed masked man's face gradually became ugly, and he shouted angrily: "Is it the east bank or the west bank, the other party is full of food and support, and he has nothing to do to cross the river, and he is still found by you? Are they stupid or are you stupid?"

"Apparently this was deliberately arranged by the mission to disrupt your view. ”

"Let Liang Cheng figure out and then send someone to inform this seat at one time, where the mission team has been, and don't fool this seat with some messy news. ”

"Report, my lord, after the team crossed the river, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. ”
