The dispute between Zheng Zong and Di Yefei finally woke He Mulan. He Mulan, who did not know how to treat Di Yefei and Zheng Zong, finally waved her hand:
"Stop arguing, if there aren't enough tents, Di Yefei, squeeze with Zheng Zong!"
"What, I squeezed with him?"
"That's great, that's it, General Di, I have a lot of open space..."
The two of them were glanced at by He Mulan, whose face was not very good-looking. In the end, they were still considerately worried that she would be irritable if she didn't sleep well, and left the tent hand in hand (?).
Na Luohun walked into the tent with He Mulan, who got up in his clothes. Seeing her sleepy eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "Chang Huo, is Di Yefei..."
it is more than words.
He Mulan had always known that A'Dan Zhiqi was very delicate, but he didn't know that a person with such a temperament as Luo Hun was actually very sensitive.
Not only is he very keen, but there is even a touch of sentimentality in his eyes.
Is it sentimental about Di Yefei's misunderstanding, or something else
He Mulan skipped a trace of embarrassment in her heart, and nodded somewhat unnaturally: "He probably misunderstood something, but I don't think he has a broken sleeve. I don't have a long life, so don't cheat on him."
"Who knows how long he will live? Maybe the arrows on the battlefield can take us away in the next moment." Na Luohun shook his head, "But I believe that the fire chief knows what to do, whatever you say, I will listen to you."
"Let's hide it from him for now. His temper is different from yours, and it's easy to get into the horns... " He Mulan didn't dare to say that she was actually frightened by her own dream, and she didn't dare to face Di Yefei like that.
"I'm not thinking about lifelong things right now."
When I think about being in love or something, I feel that the style of painting has become strange.
She is Hua Mulan who leads the elite tiger Ben, and she is not the peerless beauty in which the domineering general falls in love with me in some romance drama...
Na Luo Hun sighed deeply, shook his head, lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.
He Mulan didn't have a good night's rest, but the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army, who had been tired for many days by their exhausting tactics, had a good rest.
Even if the cold people in the desert were trembling at night, but so many people gathered together, they were all young and strong, and the heat was warm enough.
Before dawn, the army began to pull out camp. At this time, the desert was only around sunrise and was the most suitable time for marching. Everyone was used to this rhythm.
Yuan Fang and Feng Heng were running around in the camp, counting the baggage and the number of people, Su Hejun never thought that none of the envoys were there, and Liu Zhen, his powerful subordinate, was also tied up by Yuan Po Qiang. There is only one bare commander left, and only in the city of Beiliang can he reveal his identity as an imperial envoy.
Di Yefei and He Mulan had cooperated for many years, and Luo Hun was also a partial general of the Montenegrin Army in the past. These people moved quickly, and the 7,000-strong team immediately began to leave the oasis in an orderly manner and headed for Mingsha County.
"Mingsha County is famous for that piece of Mingsha land." Feng Heng introduced: "Mingsha County in Lingzhou is the largest town on this road. Countless caravans and monks will rest here, and there are also many horse thieves in disguise. The goods were stolen by the merchants, so Mingsha County will have a big fight every three days. After all, some merchants find the horse thief who robbed their things, and they always want to identify them, and the government can't ignore it..."
Regardless, Feng Heng added with a wry smile: "But as long as the horse thieves come in as businessmen, don't make trouble and are willing to pay taxes, the local governor has nothing to do with it, and the number of local garrison troops is not enough to suppress the bandits."
The population of Beiliang is not large, the land is vast and the people are sparsely populated. There may not be 2,000 soldiers in a county. In the desert, horse thieves can easily gather thousands of troops and go without a trace. Bandit suppression has become a joke. .
Officials from all over the country don't want to cause trouble either. For these robbers, as long as they are willing to pay taxes and obey the rules, they will turn a blind eye to selling their stolen goods in the city.
"Reborn Financial Giants"
Such a huge army was operating in the boundaries of Liang Kingdom, and the desert was full of people from Beiliang who were looking for news from Juqu Mujian. Soon, officials from Beiliang dressed as military generals came to inquire about the origin of the troops.
He Mulan was holding a scepter, Suhe-jun was carrying the oracle and certificate, and Di Yefei was here to answer the envoy of Beiliang, and by the way, the general who investigated the incident in the mission. Of course, the identity of this person, Beiliang, should be treated with caution. Coupled with the recent changes in Guzang, these officials are also careful. As soon as they learned that He Mulan and others were going to Mingsha County to supply supplies, they immediately sent people back to Guzang and Lingzhou to report back, and then carefully accompanied them.
He Mulan and the others didn't come to attack Beiliang. They were accompanied by officials from Beiliang. There was no need to worry about supplying all the way, because they didn't have to go back to Qinhan or go to the desert. State.
These officials kept asking where the envoys from Beiliang before He Mulan went, and where can the envoys from Beiliang who had been killed by Yuan Po Qiang go? He Mulan couldn't carelessly say that he went to the sky, but he could only ask the other party in confusion, didn't he already return to Guzang City
Most of the officials who were dispatched were from Juqu Muqian's faction. After hearing the news, they even wondered if a later party had robbed and killed the envoy on the way, so that even Queen Meng did not dare to ask where she was. I was afraid that these Hu Ben troops had already cooperated with Queen Meng and killed them.
It's just that the waves are calm on the outside, but in fact, a storm is already brewing, and I don't know when it will break out. Even the officials and generals who escorted the Wei ** team are trembling, and those who have a humble attitude can no longer be humble.
As the Hu Ben army and Gao Che Hu Ben entered Beiliang again, all kinds of rumors spread all over the place. Some said that Wei State was going to attack Beiliang, and that Juqu Muqian was ready to surrender to the country. It is said that Juqu Bodhi and Queen Meng are both in the hands of the Wei ** team, and this time they are supporting the rightful prince to inherit the throne...
Because of the possibility of war, the caravans in Beiliang all rushed to Wei or Liu Song as if going crazy. The prosperous towns in Beiliang because of the developed trade routes suddenly collapsed, and many people simply did not. Dare to stay one more day in Beiliang.
Under such circumstances, when He Mulan and Di Yefei led their troops into Mingsha County, they caused a lot of trouble.
When the blood cloak said that Juqu Bodhi might be in the Acropolis of Mingsha County, Su and Jun suspected that the place might have been completely controlled by the Meng family, so Luo Hu and Queen Meng could stay here with peace of mind, but no matter how they guessed, Never thought that the city guard of the Acropolis would not let them enter Mingsha County at all!
"Without the king's warrant, I can't let them enter Mingsha County." The county governor here is called Wang Xing, a Han Chinese, who is obviously very afraid of Wei people.
"In the documents I got, the Wei country's mission has already left Beiliang, how could I let an army of unknown origin pass through the Acropolis!"
Huang Mingren, an official sent by Juqu Muqian, had an ugly face. The prefect of Lingzhou was a staunch prince, and he did not deal with Juqu Muqian, who was succeeded by the prince. They did not even admit that Juqu Muqian was the new king of Liang. , he refused to return to Guzang to celebrate the new king's succession, and he was more prepared for envoys from Beijing.
But how dare they do such a thing at such a time!
Do they really think that Wei people are vegetarians
"Wang Xing, open the city for me! I'm Shang Shuling, you should come out to meet according to the ceremonies, but you are shouting with me from the top of the city, what a formality!"
Juqu Mujian reused Han officials, so most of the newly appointed officials in the dynasty were Han officials.
Huang Mingren was furious, but Su Hejun looked at the outer city in front of him with interest.
The small city wall looks like it can be climbed up easily. The Acropolis does not seem to be a military town. Now the caravans have also gotten the news and are fleeing. Why are these people willing to offend the new king and Wei Jun and prevent them from entering the city. Woolen cloth
It's just stationed in the outer city for supplies.
"Isn't Shang Shuling Liu Shijun? How did he become Huang Shijun?" Wang Xing laughed at the top of the city, "It's not that they don't give in, so many people will disturb the people in the city, you'd better give a charter , There are nearly 10,000 people, and my small town can't hold it."
"Promise him, arrange for others to be stationed outside the city, and arrange for a thousand elites to enter the city." Su Hejun quietly told He Mulan, "There must be strange things in the city, you, Di Yefei and I will definitely be tripped by these officials when they enter the city. Those who are staying at the banquet, think of a way to ask Gai Wu to take some elites to Puning Temple at night to inquire about the whereabouts of Juqu Bodhi."
When He Mulan heard Su Hejun's words, he nodded and asked Huang Mingren to make arrangements. Huang Mingren saw that He Mulan was not angry, but instead made concessions, his face looked better, and he shouted at Chengtou.
Wang Xing also knew that it was impossible not to allow them to pass by. It was not bad to change the number of people from more than 7,000 to 1,000 to enter the city. He went down to the city and opened the city gate for the Hu Ben army himself.
The guards of the Acropolis were different from those in other places in Beiliang. They were full of sturdy aura, and they had many hairstyles and fancy clothes, which made He Mulan take a few glances.
Seeing that He Mulan was very curious about his brother, Wang Xing, the pretentious commander of the town guard, curled his lips and said, "Don't look at it, it's all some horse thieves who surrendered, or some local idle thorns, we're not here. Taiping, those who are soft-handed are dead."
Only then did He Mulan remember that this business road was mixed with fish and dragons, and there were often battles in many towns. I'm afraid this is the reason why the guards here have a sturdy temperament.
That Wang Xing was only the chief of the local military armed forces. Soon the county governor and the county magistrate ran out with sweat on their faces. After scolding Wang Xing (purely for the people of Wei), they respectfully said that the city was in the city. The banquet has been arranged, and Lao Jun's baggage is also ready, just waiting for the generals to attend the banquet.
He Mulan and others already knew that they could not avoid it, so they privately instructed Zheng Zong and Gai Wu to sneak into the city with a team of agile Hu Ben army, find Puning Temple and try to find a way to find Juqu Bodhi.
Gai Wu was not an envoy of the Wei State embassy, but Zheng Zong was proficient in the languages of various countries, which made communication easier. He was quite quick-witted and had a lot of insight, so He Mulan was not afraid of him getting into trouble.
The banquet was quite normal. Thanks to the fact that they could enter the city to rest, He Mulan and Hu Benjun could start to pay attention to their personal images, and no longer said that they were full of sour smells and unkempt faces, but even so, it was really indecent for each of them to be tanned in coal. .
In contrast, Su Hejun and Di Yefei, who were not so black, were obviously very popular, and many dancers and maids tried their best to stick to them.
Especially Di Yefei, who is a man and a woman, and all kinds of wild bees and butterflies find a way to talk to him.
He Mulan never drank outside, so every cup of wine served was given to Chen Jie beside him to drink.
Few people know that Chen Jie is a huge amount, but Chen Jie, who has an amazing amount of alcohol, was halfway through drinking today. He felt a little discomfort in his stomach, and immediately became vigilant. He touched He Mulan's ear and said, "General, I want to have a stomachache..."
Since Daxingyi died in the Beiliang Palace, He Mulan was very sensitive to things like wine, and immediately asked him in a low voice, "Is there a problem with the wine?"
"It shouldn't be poisonous. When the wine came, I watched the maid drink a drink first." This is the procedure for receiving foreign guests to show that there is no problem with the wine.
"But I can't hold back, don't use laxatives..."
He Mulan immediately lowered her face and asked Chen Jie to go to the convenience, but she secretly asked Na Luohun to follow behind Chen Jie with several highly skilled personal guards. If anyone wanted to attack, he would immediately try to capture them alive.
Su Hejun sat on the seat opposite He Mulan. Seeing Chen Jie and Na Luohun leave the table three after another, they couldn't help showing concern. Wang Xing, who was guarding in the hall, also felt that something was wrong, so he sent Several guards watched the movement.
This time the action became bigger, everyone in the banquet hall was absent-minded, the prefect and the county magistrate looked like they couldn't let go, and frequently gave orders to the entourage beside them.
After a while, the boss's movement came from outside the hall. A boy with a gray face was mentioned by Na Luo Hun and threw it into the hall.
The Tiger Ben army behind him tied up four or five tall and strong men, each of whom looked unwilling, but did not see much panic.
"General, these people are ambushing in the toilet room, if we hadn't followed, Chen Jie would have been plotted against them!" Na Luo pointed to the short boy on the ground with a frown, "This boy Must be the mastermind!"
Seeing the Hu Ben army escort such a large group of people from outside the hall, and they are still confident, the county governor stood up in shock, his face full of unease.
The administrative county of Mingsha County is the Acropolis, so most of the people here are the local clans in Lingzhou, the wealthy merchants in the Acropolis, and officials from Beiliang. When these people saw the seasoned county governor stand up, the atmosphere changed. Extremely weird.
Many people are wondering if the county governor really did something.
But I've never heard of this guy's big ambitions. How dare you offend Wei people
The boy was writhing on the ground, and when he heard Na Luohun identify him, he immediately strangled his neck and shouted: "I do things alone! All the businessmen in our city have been killed by these people. I want to teach them a lesson, can't I? "
The voice is still shrill, I am afraid that it has not changed, and it is still a child.
He Mulan couldn't understand Lu Shui's nonsense, and Zheng Zong and other translators were not around. After Lu Shui Hu who accompanied her whispered to her what he was shouting, Su Hejun asked: "Dare to ask him Who is it? Why does everyone come in at such a banquet?"
"I'm so sorry, this is a dog!" The county guard ran down from the table sweating profusely, slapped the boy on the ground, and slapped him to the ground.
"I was born in the outer chamber outside. The outer chamber died recently and only returned to my house. I didn't teach it well. Come on, drag this wicked son to me..."
"and many more… "
He Mulan thought this was ridiculous.
"Poisoned in our wine, and then led people to ambush in the toilet room, and it's over with a single sentence?"
He Mulan walked out of the attendance with a cold face, and dragged the young man up from the ground, not believing the sheriff's nonsense at all: "Who are you? What is the purpose of putting medicine in the wine?"
The young man was also stubborn. He was pulled up from the ground, but he didn't say a word, but his messy hair was pulled and shaken by He Mulan, revealing a somewhat familiar face.
This young man is still childish, he looks at most ten years old, and he was only the age of a primary school student in his previous life, but he can't think of such viciousness.
Judging from the look on the county governor's face, he definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Bei Liang was in a precarious situation now. Unless he wanted to fight immediately, doing such a thing would be courting death.
Not to mention that the county governor was nervous, even Huang Mingren and other officials from Bei Liang could not wait to kill this young man.
"Mr. Tumo, although you are your son, it is a big crime to offend the envoys of other countries. In order to appease the public anger, you should deal with him."
Huang Mingren gritted his teeth, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he said.
"According to our country's laws, those who attempt to stab and ram the envoys of other countries should be whipped to death."
The young man shivered and looked at Huang Mingren with an expression of disbelief.
"Who are you, the king? You will kill me in one sentence?"
This Huang Mingren was originally an official in Jiuquan, but Juqu Muqian gained power after he ascended the throne. He squeezed out the old minister and took this position. It was his first errand to contact Wei's envoys and inquire about the whereabouts of Queen Meng. At this time, I was afraid that the wrong errand would cause a catastrophe for the whole country. Listening to this child again is simply stubborn, and I feel even more disgusted in my heart.
"I'm Shang Shuling, it's okay to deal with you, a little urchin!"
He knew that the county governor here had three sons, and the death of a concubine would not affect the incense, so he opened his mouth to let him die to quell the anger of the Wei people.
Unexpectedly, the county guard stepped forward and hugged the young man, and burst into tears: "I have a very good relationship with my outer room, and my wife is jealous. She has no name or distinction with me all her life. Before she died, she only Please take care of our child, I didn't teach him well, how can we let him die like this? If you have to kill him, why don't you kill me! Kill me and let him go!"
"It's good that the father and son are deeply in love."
Su Hejun said angrily, "But neither of you can run away."
Really think of Wei people as fools.
Or do you think that He Mulan and Di Yefei are both generals, so they have muscles in their brains
"How is Chen Jie?"
After thinking about it for a long time, He Mulan couldn't remember why this child looked familiar. She felt familiar but had no impression of it. Usually, she had not met very much in the previous life but had seen it.
Based on this alone, He Mulan couldn't let him die casually.
Na Luo Hun said with a smile: "I'm still squatting in the toilet room, and I won't be able to come out for a while."
There is no room to fight back when I have diarrhea, and the one who tried the wine before I wanted to come here is not much better.
"Then take him away. As for the governor of Tumo..." He Mulan looked at Huang Mingren meaningfully: "I believe Huang Shangshu will give us a satisfactory answer."
Huang Mingren originally wanted to "comb" Lingzhou for Juqu Muqian, which is almost the base camp of the later party. When he got this opportunity, he immediately expressed his sincere expression that he would definitely give the Wei Guo mission a satisfactory answer.
The county governor also really loves his son. Seeing that Wei Guo's soldiers are coming to take the young man back for interrogation, he immediately hugs him tightly, and even fights to the death, which makes many patriarchs and officials present feel unbearable. The young man was stubborn. Not only was he not afraid, but he kept comforting the county governor that he would be fine. Even if he died, it would be fine, which caused many people in Beiliang to feel like they were hurt.
Since the Wei State has three incidents in Beiliang, it has indeed had a lot of impact on the commerce of various places. Because the developed business brought about by accommodation and supplies has suddenly slumped, the local people have also fallen into a state of panic.
The world has been chaotic for so many years, and it hasn't settled down for a long time, and there will be chaos again. From the lord to the slave, no one is unmoved.
No matter what the reason was, the sons of the county governor attacked the Wei people, but they were standing in the position of Liangren at the moment. In addition to scolding him for being nonsense and not serious, they still praised his courage in their hearts.
Many children of this age are still fighting cock-fighting lackeys.
It's a pity that praise is praised, and their emotions don't help things develop at all. As the victim and the powerful party, the young man was still taken away by the egret officer behind Su Hejun, and the county guard was also controlled by the guards brought by Huang Mingren. I am afraid some cross-examinations are indispensable.
Just when the banquet hall was in chaos, Wang Xing, the commander-in-chief of the town garrison who was originally guarding the safety of the banquet hall, quietly slipped out of the hall and plunged into the night without looking back.
Because of such unpleasant things and the previous obstacles to entering the city, He Mulan and others did not stay in the Acropolis to rest, but returned to the camp in the outer city overnight.
The boy who was escorted back by the egret officer didn't say a word except for the few howls at the beginning, and then he was like a mute.
Huang Mingren was worried that the Wei State would frame the guilt and frame the blame. He left a few subordinates to torture the county governor and hurried to interrogate the young man with Wei State's egret officer. Su Hejun smiled and did not express any objection. Just let him look at the methods of the egret official next to him.
Egret officials interrogated, needless to say, the child showed a collapsed appearance without being poked a few times, calling himself Tumo Xiaobai, crying and saying that no one was harassing it, it was because the Wei State was doing a good job in Beiliang. I couldn't stand it, so I wanted to teach Mulan a lesson.
Hearing this is a lie, waiting in the toilet room with his hands, obviously wanting to kill or kidnap when someone collapses or has no strength to resist, but unfortunately it is too naive, I don’t know that even if the first army commander goes to the toilet, he will Many people guard.
Either he had inquired beforehand and knew that He Mulan would never be served when he went to the toilet.
If it is the latter, it is even more ulterior motive.
It's a pity that this young man is too young, and fell into the hands of the egret official for a long time, and he fainted due to lack of energy. If he tried to torture him, he might die suddenly. With some regret, Su Hejun ordered him to rest for a while and continue tomorrow.
As soon as the cold water was splashed, the young man woke up trembling, and was taken care of while trembling.
He has begun to fear the arrival of tomorrow.
As if it wasn't enough, Chen Jie, who had already had diarrhea and was about to collapse, developed a high fever that night. He Mulan was angry and anxious, but Gai Wu and Zheng Zong didn't come back. A famous doctor was sent to the city for treatment.
In fact, he wanted to take advantage of this commotion to open the city gates, so that Gai Wu and the others could sneak back to the camp while the chaos was happening.
However, until the next morning, He Mulan and his party did not wait for Gai Wu and Zheng Zong to return to the camp.
