Chapter 74: Victory
After walking out of the Luyang territory, the further north he went, the more he could feel that there was a kind of slaughter in the atmosphere, and the more he understood why Emperor Xu wanted to ban Xiaoyuan Mountain, and he also needed a successor to Xiaoyuan Mountain.
Because Xu Guoren needs a confidence.
The towns where the five people passed were all on standby, the soldiers were out of the camps, the swords were unsheathed, the government began to hoard supplies and carry out a certain degree of control, the villages were closed, the government was strictly preventing the movement of people, and the peasants came to hide at home so as not to be arrested.
Fortunately, Gu Yi and the five people came from Luyang Courtyard, and all the way was unimpeded, the only thing was that they were bored, and on the eve of the war, entertainment activities were even more invisible.
After rushing for more than three days, two mountains appeared in front of them, and there was a pass in the middle of the mountain, and a Xiongguan was built at the pass, and thousands of soldiers were stationed here.
In the scorching sun, they sweated like rain, and saw five tall horses, two of which were still fresh and refined young girls, and all of them had bright eyes.
"The victorious guard He Jiang has seen the five adults of Luyang Courtyard! Lord Shu is also here!"
The Seven Princes mainly hide their identities, and they are all headed by Shu Le on the surface.
It didn't seem like she had been discharged from the hospital for the first time, and the guards here knew her, including the soldiers who were training in the Kannai, and they were all looking at her.
Sure enough, the reputation of the alternate landlord is still very great.
"General He has worked hard. "The elegance and nobility of the alternate landlord is also very high.
"As a general, it is the responsibility to defend the land, and it is not hard to say. Lord Shu, please come in, the border military mansion is a little simpler. ”
As they walked inside, the soldiers gradually couldn't help but start to be restless, scrambling to see the style of Luyang Courtyard.
The customs here will be tougher, for example, some don't wear shirts, revealing a dark tendon meat, everyone regards the people from Luyang Courtyard as big people, only one or two will be slightly worried.
"Master Shu is here, is the war about to start?"
"Cowardice, fight early and fight late, when have we been afraid to leave the country?"
"Those are from Luyang Courtyard. They are all very talented in cultivating immortals, right?"
"Luyang Courtyard is really enviable......"
......
Where hundreds of people gathered, the light of admiration emitted together made the young Chen Mingguang and Wu Gang both a little enthusiastic.
Sure enough, it is still a place like the border, which is easy to stimulate men's enthusiasm.
Gu Yi preferred the person in the corner, the skinny kid with a crooked hat, estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and like everyone else, grinning and waving to them.
Inside the Shogun's Mansion.
After the seventh princess gave a confirmed look, Shu Le stepped forward and asked, "General He, what is the situation on the border now?"
"Lord Shu, please come here. ”
Gu Yi mixed in and walked to the left side of the room together, where the map was erected.
The Guqing River on the map is diagonally upward, going to the northeast, and then to the north of the victory pass is the flat land of Yima Pingchuan, surrounded by high mountains, and the Chenzhou Basin is here.
Therefore, the victory pass is the southern exit of the basin, and there is also a pass to be exported.
"The Chenzhou Basin is surrounded by mountains, and the first thing to worry about is Fenggu Pass, which is under the control of the country, where there are not many troops, only 3,000, but ...... There are immortal cultivators in the pass!"
"Guqinghe is now under the control of my Xu State, this is the territory of Xu State, but from a combat point of view, in order to defend the territory, the victory pass needs to divide the troops, and always be careful to leave the army to sneak attack, covering more land but very passive, Fenggu Pass only needs to guard the pass and wait for the time to move, which is formally more advantageous than us. ”
Gu Yi nodded, so this place has only changed hands several times, and the superior side will be a disadvantage in the next battle.
He Jiang's spirit is good: "But with the five adults of Luyang Academy here, the last general and the soldiers are much more confident." ”
"Who are the immortal cultivators in Fenggu Pass from the Great Rain Palace?" Shu Le didn't seem to have any intention of mentioning the purpose of their trip.
"It's a newcomer named Gu Yue, who seems to have a good status in the Great Rain Palace, and there are people who return to the Pu Realm on weekdays. ”
The Seventh Princess and Shu Le glanced at each other, obviously not very familiar with each other.
This matter will not be pursued for the time being, and the most important thing in this trip is Shuyu.
"General He, there was a murder in Gu Qinghe a few days ago, and you told us a few more about the situation at that time. ”
"Yes!"
......
"After the river rain rebelled against the palace, it lingered in the Guqing River all the year round, not to the north, not to the south, but in the Guqing River. Because he is a master of the Hedao realm, there have always been people in the court who have suggested that he rain be recruited, although it is a little difficult, but it is not completely without progress in the past few years. ”
"The Great Rain Palace actually sent someone to assassinate him, but almost all of them were exposed, and the Lord of the Great Rain Palace would not come in person, and gradually, He Yu also lived here. ”
As for his death, it was a very sudden event, that evening, he fell asleep in the Curtain Moon Pavilion of the Guqing River as usual, and suddenly there was a sound in the middle of the night, according to people nearby, it was an explosion, and the house of the Curtain Moon Pavilion was damaged, and then he was found in the ruins of the river rain and the woman who slept with him. ”
"The woman seemed to have been stoned to death by a heavy object, but Heyu's death was very strange. ”
It's weird, everybody knows it.
Shu Le couldn't help but look at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi also frowned, "Besides, is there anything special about it?"
"Dare to ask your name?"
"My surname is Gu, Gu Yi. ”
He Jiang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "The last general will see the immortal talent!"
The generals beside him heard this and imitated his movements.
"Get up and answer my questions. ”
"Thank you, Lord Gu. He Jiang raised his eyes and asked, "But what does Master Gu mean when he says something special...... What?"
"What do you say, the people of the Hedao Realm were killed, and there was nothing left?"
"The last general didn't know what Master Gu was referring to, but He Yu's death was indeed fast, and it looked like a sneak attack. ”
Things always feel a little mysterious.
There's not even a place to start.
The woman who slept with Ha Yu for the night also died.
"What about Heyu's corpse?" Shu Le asked.
"It should still be in Guqinghe at the moment. ”
"Why don't you bring it back to the Victory Pass?"
He Jiang was a little deflated, "Since the tension between Xu and Li, His Majesty has issued an order that no provocation should be made, only a return attack. After the river rain incident, our movements were a little slower, so we did not know the whereabouts of the corpses. ”
"Nonsense, Your Majesty has always been cheering for the military and civilians of the whole country, how could he make such a will. I'm afraid that you are afraid of leaving, and you are afraid of fighting!"
"The last general will not dare!"
Gu Yi stopped him, "I'll know if I go to Guqinghe tomorrow to visit, why bother General He." ”
Shu Le only glared at him, but it was still considered to give him the face of this immortal talent, and then turned around and walked out of the garrison mansion.
"Hey, don't you go, where are you going?"
He Jiang also shouted from behind, "Master Shu stays!"
"Of course go to Guqinghe!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Shu Le stopped and lowered his voice slightly, "I think this General He is lying to us, the Seventh Princess understands Your Majesty, and she said that Your Majesty will not give that kind of will." ”
Gu Yi didn't think so at all, and the Seventh Princess was not a person who didn't know much about politics.
The emperor of Xu was indeed trying to avoid the war, and he had no confidence in winning at all.
Even Schuler doesn't understand it very well.
After several of them leaned over, Gu Yi spoke: "General He knows that Fenggu Pass has a new Gu Yue, you have all heard this. ”
The four nodded.
"Then you said that the victory pass came to the five heroes of Luyang Academy, will they know?"
Chen Mingguang frowned deeply, "Presumably, I already know at this moment." ”
"I'm thinking about ...... for you" Gu Yi said: "Before the war, it was taboo for the main general to centrifuge, Lord Shu, we just arrived at the victory pass, and you rushed out regardless of it, that is, to tell the people who left the country two things, either you are at odds with this General He, or you are here to grab Heyu's corpse." ”
"Either way, there is a high risk of provoking war. ”
"We are not afraid of them! Let them think that we are not reconciled, but we can confuse them. Schuler said.
The Seventh Princess also nodded.
Gu Yi is really tired and confused, is it a fact Okay, you are already beginning to doubt He Jiang.
"You said a few days ago, I'm smart, aren't I?"
Shu Le didn't speak, and the Seventh Princess seemed to acquiesce.
"Then you will listen to me, first of all, General He did not lie, Your Majesty must have passed on this will, and others will forget it, you are the alternate landlord, he will give the pot to Your Majesty in front of you, what kind of stupid pig would do such a thing?"
"Secondly, we can't rush to Guqing River all at once, we just have to find out the whereabouts of Heyu's corpse first. ”
The seventh princess and Shu Le looked at each other, to be honest, because He Yu's death was too bizarre, they didn't seem to have a clue, and at this time, Gu Yi still had an idea.
"You say. ”
"Let's have dinner and a welcome dinner. ”
"Do you still have the heart to eat a feast?" Shu Le was a little anxious
Gu Yi turned around and gave her a back of the head, and went to find General He Jiang, who was standing on the side, who was very well-behaved, "The five of us will stay tonight." ”
"That's great!
Before he could say anything more, he ran away.
The Seventh Princess walked to Gu Yi's side, "Why don't you believe in my understanding of my father, but believe in a general who just met?"
Gu Yi glanced at her, "Seventh Princess, don't say such things, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers." ”
Few people can scold the princess, she is a little aggrieved, "...... You know, I didn't mean that. ”
"Hehe, of course you know, you are the Seven Fairies that everyone loves. ”
"And what about my question?"
Gu Yi changed his face, "The reason I just said is actually one, he doesn't dare." Also, if you look at his weathered face, you know that he must have been at the border for many years, even decades. ”
"So what?"
"How? Victory is so important, then it shows that the general guarding the pass is extremely capable, extremely capable, but has been weathered for decades, that means that he will not be an official, and those who cannot be an official do not understand the necessity of His Majesty's wisdom and greatness, and will not fight for His Majesty's name of cowardice. ”
The Seventh Princess listened to it with little understanding.
Gu Yi looked left and right, "Master Shu, you didn't understand, did you?"
Shu Le snorted, "I'll listen to you for the time being." ”
