Chapter 48: The Poison Plague (1)
Originally, I said that I was leaving, but because I was not at ease for the time being, I asked Da Si Ming about the news about Luodu and Li Tang in the north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because Li Tang's distance was too far, and the passage was guarded by the prince's people, the great priest didn't get any news, which made me disappointed.
Fortunately, regarding the war situation in the north, the Great Secretary has been paying attention to it, and then gave me accurate information.
"After Luodu was trapped, Li Tang, who was the first to react, was dragged by the states of Qi and Chu, and the army could not go north to support, but the situation did not deteriorate further. ”
"The other feudal states further north are waiting and watching, but the Xia State directly sent iron cavalry support, and after a long-distance attack, the situation of the siege of Luodu was temporarily alleviated, but it could not bring substantial changes to the situation in the north. ”
Hearing him say this, I still have more of an unexpected feeling in my heart, only if the Xia Guo family comes to help, it is impossible to change this critical situation in the north.
It's just that the other feudal countries are waiting and seeing, which makes me a little speechless, no matter what they decide to do in the end, but the minimum requirement for defending against foreign insults is right?
Even if they really fell out with Great Qin, this is also an internal matter of Great Qin, how can they pretend to destroy Great Qin under the pretense of Beidi's suffering, Beidi's enemy wolf ambition, Great Qin is not guaranteed, and their feudal kingdoms will be destroyed sooner or later!
The state of Zhao is undecided, and it is impossible to send a team to help, I have nothing to say, the state of Chu and the state of Qi are fighting with Li Tang, and the state of Qi and Chu are also traitors, so it is impossible to send troops to help.
The seven feudal states, in addition to Zhao, Qi, Chu, Tang, and Xia, there are not also Song and Liang.
At the beginning, when I was in Tianxianglou, I had contact with Song Yan, the second prince of the Song Kingdom, with Liang Qianxun, and found that this person was also a very deep existence in the city.
The second prince is not simple, not to mention the eldest prince who is the leader of the second prince, and the king of Song, who is good at drilling, the rulers of the Song State are not stupid people, but they just did the stupidest thing - to stand by and watch Daqin.
I don't know much about Song Guo, and no amount of speculation has been empirically proven, so it's worth putting it aside for the time being.
And now the Liang State is in the hands of Liang Dao, even if there is a traitor like Liang Sheng, I believe that Liang Dao will not be able to save Daqin when he sees death, he is not a faint king.
But the fact now is that Liang Guo really can't be saved when he sees death, and it can't be said that something happened to Liang Dao!
After having a rough estimate of the situation in the north, I can only secretly pray in my heart that His Royal Highness Prince Meng can fight this battle against Beidi and hold Luodu for a longer time.
At this time, I actually know a hidden character, and when he appears, it may have a very direct impact on the situation in the world.
This hidden figure is His Majesty Emperor Yu, who left a stand-in in Luodu, His Majesty Emperor Yudi who shed his shell from the golden cicada......
When I finally left, I handed over the grass to the care of the Great Priest, and I put the big cloak that I had taken off and put it back on my body, and left the Heavenly Pavilion through another passage.
According to Da Si Ming, this passage connects the Sun family, another family in Tianfu, the Sun family.
I came out of the secret passage of the Heavenly Pavilion, and the thought of this was enough to prove my identity, and then the Sun family would secretly send me to Rongguan according to my request.
The general over there at Rongguan will coordinate in advance, and someone will be there to pick me up and let me go to Xirong.
I don't have any opinion on the arrangement of the Great Priest's order, all in all, the whole plan is to have one, and act in secret.
After the big priest deceived Cao Tou Cheng in the name of drinking, I was a little worried about what would happen to Cao Tou Cheng in my heart.
From the eager gaze of Da Si Ming looking at Cao Tou Cheng, it can be known that in order to get the support of Cao Tou Cheng's intelligence system, Da Si Ming is estimated to be bothered by Cao Tou Cheng's treatment, so Cao Tou Cheng is comfortable.
If it can't be cured in the end, there will be more than one person who will cry......
However, these are not the things I have to worry about now, the key is that Xijon is very troublesome, it is simply fatal.
The note said that the Xirong poison disaster had completely worsened, and the Rongguan dynasty was in danger!
It seems to me that Rongguan is still fine, but it is a fact that the northern Yumen Pass was broken, so it is very likely that this is an early warning.
The early warning is very good, because it means that there is still a possibility to stop the poison before it completely worsens, so that the lives of Tianfu will not be destroyed.
It's not an easy thing to deal with, but such a heavy responsibility falls on me, and it falls on me alone, how can this be done!
After thinking about it for a while, a rough plan has been formed in my mind, if every step of this plan is realized to varying degrees, then it is not impossible to change the entire Xirong pattern!
When I went out of this passage, the people of the Sun family were already waiting for me here.
Seeing me come down, a middle-aged man immediately came over, clasped his fists, and said, "Sun Ming, the head of the Sun family, has seen an adult!"
Nodding lightly to him, I directly ordered: "I have an urgent matter that needs to go to Rongguan, you arrange it, it must be absolutely secret, and you can't leak the slightest rumor, and the sooner the better!"
He hesitated slightly, and then said: "My lord, if you want to go to Rongguan secretly, there is only one way to take the carriage that transports supplies, and our Sun family is handling this matter single-handedly, and the great secretary will let you come over, I guess that's what you mean, I don't know what you think?"
As soon as he said this, I also understood the reason why the great priest had to ask me to take the road of the Sun family, and since he had already made arrangements, I just followed it.
"Okay, I'll take the carriage, when will the carriage carrying the supplies leave?"
"Your Excellency is here at the right time, tomorrow at noon, it is the time for the carriage to transport the supplies to leave, and we will arrange for your adult to hide in at that time, and now please rest at Sun's house first. ”
"Good!"
It was still evening, and I was going to rest until late tomorrow, and I knew very well that once I got to Sijon, there was very little time left for me to rest, and I could only hurry up a little now.
Until the next day, when it was almost noon, the Sun family sent someone to bring me a small box and said, "My lord, please deign to hide in!"
For me, as long as I could get to Xijon safely, it was nothing to hide in a box, so I went in.
After I came in, Sun Ming and the others nailed the box to death, and then carried it away, as if it were put on the carriage.
After waiting for a while, the carriage shook and began to move in the direction of Rongguan.
Hiding in the box, I didn't do anything else, just closed my eyes and rested to recuperate.
The carriage did not go fast, and it walked for half a day, that is, it arrived at Rongguan when it was almost dark.
As soon as the carriage stopped, I heard the footsteps and talking of a large group of soldiers, and the noise of many carrying things.
They had a lot of fun, but it never got my turn to be in the box.
Until a certain moment, it was as if two people came to my side, and they were still communicating in a low voice.
One person was slightly surprised, and said: "Look, this box has the mark of the Sun family, and it seems that it is something given by the Sun family to the general!"
The other man was slightly annoyed and shouted, "Be quiet, if you let the others listen, you won't have enough to kill ten heads!"
One of them spoke again, full of smiles, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my stinky mouth, I like to talk nonsense." ”
The other person ignored his meaning, and just said: "Don't talk nonsense, the general secretly told us to move this box to him, let's hurry up!"
One said, "All right!"
Then, I felt the box being picked up and staggered away.
On the way, the man asked with some incomprehension: "Why is this box so light, what do you say the Sun family sent to the general?"
Another replied, "If you look at it this way, it's not gold or silver jewelry, it's a very large chest, maybe it's something precious." ”
That person agreed, and said: "I also think so, the general never accepts things from other people, but today he is willing to accept the things of the Sun family, don't think about it, it is definitely a priceless good thing, otherwise how can it impress the general." ”
The other person did not pick up the stubble on this, but said: "You just don't say a word, the general is guarding Rongguan, he has worked hard, what's wrong with collecting something, this is what the general deserves!"
The person also agreed very much with this seemingly abnormal statement, and said: "Yes, this is how it should be, besides, what is in this, and what does it have to do with us, we just need to honestly carry out the general's orders." ”
In the voice of the two people, the box was moved by them, moved to a quieter place, slowly put the box down, and the two left.
I waited in the box for a long time, and finally there was a sound of footsteps in the silence, followed by a person who came over, raised his hand and tapped on the box three times, and then said: "I am arranged by the great secretary, and I am responsible for receiving you at Rongguan!"
Hearing him say this, I already believed him, and I tapped the box three times in response.
Then, the man found a tool and pried the box open, and when I got out of it, I saw a middle-aged man in armor standing in front of me.
"Tianfu Zhonglang General, Guo Kai has seen an adult!"
My cloak never took off my cloak, and he didn't question it, he clenched his fist in front of me, and said so.
Nodding faintly, I asked him, "What's the news of the Great Priest?"
Guo Kai replied: "My lord, there is no news yet, if there is news, I will ask someone to put an apricot yellow flag in the corner of Rongguan, and the news will be hidden in the flag, just waiting for the adults to take it." ”
I felt that his method was still very good, so I agreed, and then asked, "What is the situation in Xijon now?"
A lot of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said: "My lord, the poisonous people who originally stormed Rongguan have retreated inexplicably, and there has been no war in Xirong for more than two days, but I feel that this is a mountain rain is coming, and I am afraid that the battle to defend the city will be extremely difficult after that!"
I have to say that Guo Kai's prediction is really accurate, the comprehensive retreat of the poisonous people is very likely to be the prelude to the complete deterioration of the poisonous plague.
"In this case, I will leave Rongguan now and sneak into Xirong territory to investigate the situation. ”
He was a little surprised by my words and asked, "My lord, are you in such a hurry, why don't you take a break?"
I shook my head and said, "If the situation is correct, I'm afraid that a great change has happened to the poisoners of Xirong, and if I fail to make a success in this trip, I hope you can be mentally prepared!"
He looked at me a little stunned, probably because he couldn't accept what I said.
After waiting for him for a while, he asked, "My lord, is it possible that there has been a very serious accident on Xirong's side?"
I nodded, "If nothing else, if I hadn't sabotaged their plan, the poison plague in Xijon would have completely worsened, and then your defense of the city would have become extremely difficult, even if not for a day!"
He gasped, probably startled by my words.
I didn't care if he could accept it or not, and continued: "Don't forget, behind the Rongguan is Tianfu, and in Tianfu is a group of ordinary people who have no ability to resist, and your duty to guard the pass is heavy, even if you fill it with your life, you must guard Rongguan!"
He looked at me and nodded heavily, "My lord, don't worry, our defenders of Rongguan will definitely live and die with Rongguan!"
"Good!"
Since he had such an awareness, he didn't need me to say anything more, went out from the door, and rose into the air by the night, and I left Rongguan.
About Sijon, I think of two people I have forgotten for a long time.
Jing Shou, the first shadow guard, and Lotte, who intersected with Uncle Bird, these two are also in Xirong, and they have been ordered by the prince and the shadow to lie dormant here for a long time.
......
