Chapter 699: Secret
The old man Mu was aggrieved, spread his hands, and complained to the Dragon King, "My aunt doesn't believe me at all now, she doesn't let me know anything, I think I was in the country of incense, I didn't even ...... Forget it, I can't blame him, it's all my fault, who made me loyal to the Dragon King with all my heart? ”
Gu Shenwei wanted to find out what Shangguan Ru's hidden secret was, but the old man Mu didn't know what he was saying, and it was very difficult to judge whether his words were true or false, and his wrinkled face concealed too many things.
"A good girl will never do anything harmful to the Dragon King, I can guarantee that. Old Man Mu patted his chest, "I guess she probably wants to surprise the Dragon King, just wait patiently, there's no need to get to the bottom of it, right?"
Gu Shenwei never expected surprises.
Red Bat and the other female officials knew better, but Gu Shenwei didn't ask, because he didn't want them to struggle with who they were loyal to.
Old Man Mu finally seized the opportunity to talk to the Dragon King alone, and he didn't forget what he wanted to say the most, "Be careful Han Wuxian, she has gone crazy to the bone, I heard that she is collecting all kinds of medicinal herbs, with the Dragon King's consent?"
"I gave permission. ”
"Tsk, the Dragon King is really a so-called use of people, and he really has the demeanor of a king, but don't ask, you must have been prepared for precautions a long time ago, there is a big difference between the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall who have medicine and myrrh, Han Wuxian now has a request for the Dragon King, pretending to be well-behaved and cute, and when she feels that she can protect herself, hehe......"
"With you, I'm nothing to fear. ””
"Don't worry, Dragon King, I promise to take a good look at that old crazy woman for you, and if necessary, I will be ruthless. Old Man Mu took the dragon king's casual words as a task and left happily.
Tomorrow is the election of the new king by King Yao's army, Gu Shenwei has a lot of things at hand, he spent a busy afternoon, especially persuading the Xiao Yan clan to hand over the army, it took a lot of words, but he did not get a clear answer.
The silence of the Dragon Court was only temporary, all sides were watching the movements of the close servants, and once the situation became clear, the war would immediately resume again, Tosai was dead, and the Dragon Army and the battalion of the Xiao Yan clan had lost their barrier and were about to face the enemy directly.
This is a crucial battle, but Xiao Yan refuses to give up the power of command and control, she has already lent the dragon king a thousand cavalry, only agreed to borrow another 4,000 men, and the remaining 5,000 troops must be firmly in her own hands no matter what.
Gu Shenwei and Fang Wen took turns to explain the importance of concentrating troops, Xiao Yan was unmoved, but did not categorically refuse, but for a while to be coquettish, a moment to be cold, a moment to sigh, and finally even shed a few tears, in short, refused to hand over the right to the army, "The army of Tosai and the Shadow King will soon be under the command of the Dragon King, and there are 20,000 people together, except for the close service army, this should be the most powerful force, don't be too greedy, don't be too impatient." I am a woman, and I will rely on your protection after all, these five thousand people say that they belong to me, but in fact, the dragon king said that they still have to go to the battlefield. Alas, be considerate of a widow's troubles......"
Similar words, Xiao Yan can keep talking, and the two men are defeated.
It was already evening when he walked out of the tent, Fang Wen sighed, "I thought that Xiao Yan was reasonable and easy to speak, but I didn't expect it to be a ghost in my stomach, the alliance between the Dragon King and her is the most stable, but I still can't get her trust, women are difficult." ”
"There's always a way. "Gu Shenwei must concentrate his forces as much as possible, 20,000 cavalry is indeed a lot, but it does not occupy an absolute advantage, and the loyalty is even more questionable, but the army of the Xiao Yan clan will play a huge stabilizing role," let Azheba and Liman try, especially Liman, he is also from the Naihang tribe, and may be able to be trusted. ”
"That's all there is to it. Fang Wen shook his head helplessly, then glanced at the Dragon King quickly, looking at the busy soldiers and servants in the camp, "If this trick also fails...... Has the Dragon King figured it out?"
Strategists are more likely to use violence than ever before, and simple and effective methods are always addictive.
"Now is not the time. Gu Shenwei has become a conservative instead, he has said this sentence several times, and it is estimated that he will repeat it many times in the future.
Gu Shenwei casually asked again, "Shangguan Sect Leader hasn't come back yet?"
If it was in the past, Fang Wen would have bitterly persuaded the Dragon King Huijian to cut off the love thread, and repeatedly expounded the contradiction between hegemony and love, but he now knows the Dragon King better, so he took the initiative to say: "The Dragon King should find out about this matter, of course Shangguan Jiaotou will not deliberately harm the Dragon King, I am just afraid that she will encounter another accident." ”
Fang Wen didn't want Shangguan Ru to become a hostage again and disturb the Dragon King's mind at a critical moment.
As soon as the Dragon King set off, Fang Wen found Azheba and Liman, hoping that they would persuade the Xiao Yan clan, and the two also felt that it was very necessary for the soldiers to join forces, so they readily agreed.
Fang Wen had a hunch that these two people would not achieve more results than themselves and the Dragon King, Xiao Yan didn't understand the reason, she was worried that her hands would become insignificant after they were empty, and she had to find a way to dispel her worries.
I also have to completely remove the dragon king's mind from the daughter of the Dubu King.
Fang Wen suddenly came up with a bold idea, the Dragon King might not like it, but he would accept it as a facompli.
As a military advisor, he was obliged to bring the Dragon King back from the detour, and Fang Wen exonerated himself like this.
At the same moment, Gu Shenwei was galloping on the grassland with Shangguan Fei and Long Chuanyun.
Earlier in the day, Shangguan Ru left the camp with fifty guards and one female officer, and after a round of inspection, he headed north, and after ten miles turned northeast, Fang Wen had obtained all the information.
There are scouts patrolling within a radius of twenty miles, so Gu Shen can move forward quickly without worrying about safety.
Fifty guards were quickly found, and they stopped at the edge of the patrol area, monitoring the surrounding movements, but if Shangguan was not here, she continued to march north with the red bat, which was already two or three hours ago.
Just when the three scouts arrived, they introduced to the Dragon King that dozens of miles further north were desolate places, without any garrisons, Gu Shenwei asked a few words, and one of the scouts finally remembered something, "There is a camp more than ten miles away, which is full of the old, weak, sick and disabled who escaped from the Dragon Court. ”
As for Shangguan Ru, the scouts had never seen her before, and today should be the first time she had passed through this place.
Gu Shenwei didn't want to arouse too much suspicion, so he didn't ask too much.
After setting off again, Shangguan Fei expressed puzzlement at his sister's behavior, "What is she doing, to deliver food to the old, weak, sick and disabled?
"But why did Shangguan Ru Sect Leader bring a red bat?"
Long Chuanyun interjected rarely, Shangguan Fei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, the red bat's skills are completely lost, it is almost like a waste person, and it will only be a burden to carry it with you." ”
Gu Shenwei didn't care about this, he was thinking about how to make his behavior seem too abrupt, Shangguan Ru's secret might really be as irrelevant as she said, then his actions tonight would be very embarrassing.
"It's refreshing to ride a horse at night, isn't it......? The dragon turns the clouds. ”
Long Chuanyun pulled away slightly, and followed the Dragon King to speed up, so that he didn't have to deal with Shangguan Fei.
The camp in the dark was easier to find, Gu Shenwei saw several bonfires from a long distance, Long Chuanyun went to investigate first, and soon returned to say that it was really a refugee camp.
The trio put on their cloaks and dismounted on foot near the camp.
It was a haphazard camp, with no fences and no planning, hundreds of tents set up at random, and the smell of livestock was evident before you even entered.
Shangguan Fei frowned, "Sister really came to this kind of place, let's not be mistaken." ”
Gu Shenwei's first impression was diametrically opposed to Shangguan Fei, this is a good place to hide his traces, he only needs a simple disguise to make everyone stand out, no one will meddle in asking about the origin, and no one will stop him when he escapes.
There were no men in the prime of life in the whole camp, most of them were dazed old women and children of several years, sitting silently at the door of the tent, waiting or praying, and the three cloaked men barely attracted any attention.
There were seven or eight relatively large bonfires scattered around the camp, and there were relatively many people gathered around them, almost all of them were weak old men, either with sores or disabilities, and it seemed that they did not even have the strength to walk.
Shangguan Fei hated this place, but he still quickly discovered the problem, and whispered: "If I were King Yao, I should have carefully identified it when I sent someone to arrest labor, where are there so many strange old men and women? ”
"Not necessarily. Gu Shenwei said, but he also thought that some of the old people in the camp were pretending to be sick, and it was likely that even the people were not that old.
"How could a divine doctor hide in such a place?" Shangguan Fei usually trusted the Dragon King's judgment, but this time he felt that he was more accurate.
Long Chuanyun was the first to find the clue and pointed into the distance, "Look, the horse of the head of the sect." ”
The place where Long Chuyun pointed was pitch black, and only he could quickly recognize the flame pony hidden in it.
Gu Shenwei waved his hand, and the three of them dispersed, keeping a distance of seven or eight steps, leading the mount and slowly walking towards the flame horse, this is Shangguan Ru, vigilance is necessary, but there is no need to sneak around.
Two horses, one of which was a flaming pony, had a striking red fur even in the night.
Perhaps sensing the smell of the dragon churning over the clouds, the Flame Pony snorted pleasantly.
At the same time, Shangguan Ru leaned out of the low tent and smiled at the Dragon King, as if he was not surprised at all, "You came so quickly, I just won the consent of Divine Doctor Sun." ”
"Divine Doctor Sun, Divine Doctor Sun of Beicheng?" Shangguan Fei was taken aback, turned his head to look at the Dragon King, and fell to the ground in admiration.
He didn't know that the Dragon King was even more surprised than him, Gu Shenwei guessed that Shangguan Ru might have taken the red bat around to seek medical treatment to help him recover his strength, but he didn't expect that the Sun Divine Doctor of Biyu City would appear here.
Doctor Sun had already joined Xiaoyue Hall and was one of the few male disciples, and Gu Shenwei had been negotiating with the lotus girl in his medical hall in the first place.
