Chapter 278: The Way Home (2/6)
Just when Linglong looked at Xiao Suifeng, the chief who went to report the news finally came back, and behind the chief was more than a dozen soldiers, and the leader of them was the captain of Nachuan Water Town, Li Ne. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo Qian'an is the chief general of Shacheng and the general of the unified army, and he is Li Ne's boss, and Guo Qian'an's own family background is far from something Li Ne can offend.
In Wangshan Yuanzhong, it is used for the special environment of the bad environment, so although the general of the unified army is not the highest general of the imperial army, but as the general of the unified army who guards the side, the power is also very great. However, if you look at the entire Dakang Imperial Court, a general of the unified army is just an official position of the fourth grade, although in the eyes of ordinary people, he is also a high-ranking official, but in fact, whether it is in the entire Dakang Imperial Court or the Dakang military, he is not a particularly powerful figure.
Looking at the entire Dakang army, the generals of the Sipin army are all dozens of people, but it is only because of the special environment and special situation in Wangshanyuan, where Guo Qian'an is located, that the main general of Shacheng is more special.
Therefore, in terms of official position alone, it is not easy for Li Ne to be so in awe of the generals of Shacheng, but Guo Qian'an's own background is also unusual.
Guo Qian'an was born in Jiangmen, and his ancestors were the founding emperor of the Dakang Dynasty who attacked the city from the dragon, so the Guo family has been honored for decades.
Today's Guo family has five generals, and Guo Qian'an, a general of the unified army, is not the most powerful in the Guo family, just like Guo Qian'an's father, Guo Congxiao, is the auxiliary general of Zheng Erpin, and the power is so high that it is naturally conceivable.
Therefore, in Li Ne's view, it may be okay to offend an ordinary general of the unified army, but if he offends a big family like the Guo family that has been in the military for generations, then there is really no way to survive in the military.
Therefore, Li Ne had already gone to bed early, but when he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that someone had broken through with the customs clearance waist card issued by Guo Qian'an, he immediately made a move, and hurriedly dressed and rushed over.
Li Ne looks to be in his forties, and it can be seen from his performance that he is a cautious person.
At this moment, this Li Ne walked up to the city wall, took the waist card that Guo Qian'an gave to Xiao Suifeng, walked in front of Xiao Suifeng, looked Xiao Suifeng up and down, and then asked calmly, "Who are you, are you here with this waist card?"
Xiao Suifeng had already recovered from the conversation with Linglong at this moment, and immediately arched his hand slightly, and returned in a flat voice, "In Xia Xiao Suifeng, this waist card was given to General Guo Qian'an Guo Qian'an Guo by the lord of Shacheng, saying that it was from Shacheng to Xiama Pass, and there were many passes along the way, and this waist card was on the body, so it was easy to pass." ”
Xiao Suifeng?
Li Ne silently read the name twice, always feeling a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
After all, Li Ne is not from the rivers and lakes, but the captain of this Chuanshui Town, and this Li Ne is just an ordinary officer, which is different from Guo Qian'an's situation of being very interested in the people of the rivers and lakes, so although he has heard of Xiao Suifeng's name these days, he has not taken it to heart, and he can't think of it for a while.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out where he heard the name, so Li Ne simply stopped investigating the familiar origin of the name, but focused on the waist card again.
Li Ne knew in his heart that this waist card was true, after all, even if Xiao Suifeng and Linglong did not have a waist card, they could actually pass through this Chuanshui Town unharmed, so naturally there was no need to deliberately make a fake waist card in order to pass the level.
However, for the sake of prudence, Li Ne still asked, "What is the relationship between you and General Guo, and why did General Guo give you this clearance waist card?"
Xiao Suifeng immediately talked a little about the correspondence between himself and Guo Qian'an, in fact, the relationship between the two is also simple, there is no deep friendship, but the mutual rivers have given each other some help.
Li Ne heard Xiao Suifeng say this, and when he heard that the young man in front of him who didn't look very old was actually the black fox who captured the king of horse thieves on the Wei Zhen side, and gave Guo Qianan a return gift, this Li Ne was shocked in his heart, and at the same time, he finally understood where he had heard the name Xiao Suifeng.
It turned out that the person in front of him was Xiao Suifeng, who had now set off a huge storm in the rivers and lakes.
If others say that he captured the black fox that the border army of the imperial court has not made a big deal for decades, Li Ne must not believe it, but at this moment, he finally realized Xiao Suifeng's identity, and Li Ne believed most of the truth of what Xiao Suifeng said, and why Guo Qian'an gave Xiao Suifeng to clear the waist card can also be explained.
Hearing this, Li Ne's attitude towards Xiao Suifeng eased a lot, and he couldn't help but ask softly, "Since the two of you have a clearance waist card on your body, why don't you come in directly from the city gate, but you have to break through the customs late at night?"
Although Xiao Suifeng is not good at words, he is not completely unsophisticated, so naturally he will not directly say that he doesn't want to owe Guo Qian'an a favor in front of Li Ne.
Just when Xiao Suifeng was thinking about how to speak, Linglong on the side seemed to see through Xiao Suifeng's thoughts, and immediately took over the words and returned," Back to the general, the two of us were indeed preparing to enter the city, but it was too late to arrive at this Chuanshui Town, that is, I planned to rest in the inn for a night, and then go through the customs early tomorrow morning, but, I didn't want to be late at night, but I suddenly encountered a killer raid, the enemy was numerous, and the strength was strong, I was invincible, so I came to the direction of the military town to temporarily hide, late at night, it was really a helpless move, and I hope the general will forgive me!"
Linglong is naturally more able to speak than Xiao Suifeng, and the Li Ne in front of him is obviously just a school captain, but Linglong is called a general, so that Li Ne is naturally comfortable in his heart.
Hearing Linglong talk about the attack on the two, Li Ne's brows suddenly furrowed, and he seemed to be very angry, but when he rolled his eyes, he slowly calmed down, and he didn't have a seizure.
Speaking of which, as the captain of the town guard of this Chuanshui Town, this Li Ne is not only to preside over the military camp of Chuanshui Town, but also to ensure the safety and security near this Chuanshui Town, which is naturally in Li Ne's responsibility, so although Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were attacked in an inn outside the military camp, they are naturally under the jurisdiction of the ghost Li Ne.
If it is ordinary, even if it is a show, Li Ne at least has to make it look like, at least, he always has to show his attitude first, but right now, although Li Ne is very angry on his face, he doesn't say anything after all.
This Li Ne's age is really much older than Guo Qian'an, and naturally he is more accident and slippery.
Although Li Ne is not as interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes as Guo Qian'an, he is not completely ignorant, and Xiao Suifeng in front of him is now already involved in a great turmoil in the rivers and lakes.
If Xiao Suifeng and Guo Qian'an really have a bad relationship, then for Guo Qian'an's sake, even if it is a big risk to help Xiao Suifeng, Li Ne will do it, but listening to what Xiao Suifeng said at this moment, there is obviously no deep relationship between the two, so it is not worth taking risks for Xiao Suifeng.
Jianghu people are generally reluctant to provoke the imperial court, let alone the army, but this statement also has to divide people. For example, Guo Qian'an has a strong background and is a general with heavy troops under his command, the people in the rivers and lakes are naturally reluctant to provoke, and even if they are bold and want to provoke, I am afraid that Guo Qian'an will not be able to do it.
But Li Ne is just a small captain, and his soldiers are only 500, so if the Jianghu people really want to kill him, they don't have to spend too much effort, so Li Ne is naturally unwilling to offend the Jianghu people easily.
This means that Li Ne doesn't want to offend Xiao Suifeng, but he also doesn't want to provoke the killers behind Xiao Suifeng.
Linglong is a delicate-minded person, and from Li Ne's silence at the moment, he saw through Li Ne's thoughts, and immediately said directly, "General Li, it is difficult to go back to the inn where the two of us are staying at the moment, can you borrow two fast horses from the general and let the two of us pass the customs and hurry?"
Linglong can also see it, and directly thinks about Li Ne seeking protection, I'm afraid it will be difficult, but if he really returns to the inn, it will be too threatening, so Linglong is the next best thing and makes such a suggestion.
I have to say that Linglong's grasp of people's hearts can be described as very accurate.
If Linglong directly asked Li Ne for protection, Li Ne would inevitably refuse under various excuses, but now that Linglong proposed this, Li Ne couldn't refuse.
Although Li Ne is unwilling to participate in the grievances of Xiao Suifeng, Xiao Suifeng is carrying Guo Qian'an's waist card after all, and he can't give him any face. And Linglong's proposal to leave is exactly in line with Li Ne's intentions.
In Li Ne's view, Xiao Suifeng at the moment is a powder keg, wherever he goes, trouble will be brought to him, if this Xiao Suifeng stays in this Chuanshui Town for a long time, who knows what big trouble will be caused? You know, right now, there are five killers sneaking in, and if they continue, they don't know what will happen.
Therefore, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were ready to leave at night, but in Li Ne's opinion, it was the best choice, and in order to send the two away, it was not a matter to lend a few fast horses.
At that moment, Li Ne nodded in agreement, and after handing Guo Qian'an's clearance waist card back to Xiao Suifeng, he didn't say anything more, and directly ordered his subordinates to leave with Xiao Suifeng and Linglong.
Although Xiao Suifeng is not good at words, he is not blind to the eyes of others, and he may not be clear about Li Ne's attitude at first, but after Linglong opened his mouth later, Xiao Suifeng understood that this Li Ne obviously didn't want to provoke fire, so he thought about sending the two away as soon as possible.
In this regard, Xiao Suifeng remained silent, but there was not much anger in his heart.
It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and there is no need for Li Ne to take risks to help himself, but it is just a very rational choice.
However, Xiao Suifeng thought about it in his heart, and asked for two war horses from Li Ne's hands, and even a coiled Linglong, after riding a horse out of the other side of Chuanshui Town, he spoke angrily, "This captain is really cowardly, knowing that there are five killers who have infiltrated his territory, he actually doesn't care if he doesn't ask in order not to cause trouble, isn't it possible that the generals and captains of this court are so irresponsible?"
Linglong is angry, and naturally she has a reason.
Li Ne is not a person from the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want to participate in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, which is naturally normal. But if Li Ne is an ordinary person, he naturally has no fault for doing so. But Li Ne is not an ordinary person after all, but a certain school captain.
In this Wangshan Plain, there is no government, and all the public security management is naturally vested in the army. Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were attacked by killers in Chuanshui Town, so if they really said it, it was naturally up to Li Ne to investigate and protect, which was Li Ne's duty.
But this Li Ne is to avoid trouble, and directly ignore Xiao Suifeng's matter, if Linglong does not take the initiative to speak, even these two war horses may not be able to give it out, how can this make Linglong not angry?
It's just angry, but at this moment, the speed of the two of them is not listening at all.
Speaking of which, there are still an hour or two before dawn at this moment, and it is pitch black all around, in this Wangshan Plain, it is even more unsuitable for hurrying, but the two of Xiao Suifeng and Linglong at the moment can't take care of much, and after leaving Chuanshui Town, they are all the way to the east.
The threat of those five killers to Xiao Suifeng and Linglong is too great, facing each other, there is no possibility of resistance at all, as long as they get rid of them from afar, they can escape.
In fact, Xiao Suifeng also understands that if it is really the pursuit of Xiao Suifeng launched by the forces behind him, then the danger that Xiao Suifeng will encounter next may be far more than that.
If there is only Xiao Suifeng, Xiao Suifeng is really not afraid, the big deal is just death.
But Linglong is still by his side at the moment, but Xiao Suifeng can't watch Linglong be in danger because of himself.
At this moment, if he no longer looked at the mountain plain, Xiao Suifeng would have already branched out Linglong, and the two walked separately, but now, this is from Shacheng Road to Maguan, there is only such a road, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are trapped here, even if they are separated, Linglong is still in this official road, and it is still dangerous, Xiao Suifeng can only be with him to ensure Linglong's safety as much as possible.
For Xiao Suifeng at the moment, all he wants is to get out of this road as soon as possible, arrive at Xiama Pass safely, and send Linglong away, and then he can fight with the forces behind him with peace of mind.
Thinking so in their hearts, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong walked out of Nachuan Water Town overnight and headed all the way to the east.
Crossing Chuanshui Town to the east, dozens of miles away, is the first real pass, called Lanshui Pass, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong went all the way to Nalan Water Pass, but, what will be waiting for him on the next road? Xiao Suifeng's heart can't help but secretly guess. (To be continued.) )
