Gu Xiao was really confused, but seeing how eager Yu Lie was, he had to try to calm him down first, then he calmed down and said, "Brother Yu, don't worry, I will leave, but brother Yu must tell me the reason." ?」
Seeing that the young man was determined to break the casserole and ask the truth, Yu Lie glanced at General Shan beside him, thought for a moment, and then said bluntly: "Okay, but this is not the place to talk. Let's change to another place first, and I will tell everything It’s all for your listening pleasure.”
Gu Xiao was about to tell Shan Bin that he was confused by Can Meng Gong, but he saw that Yu Lie had already led the horse forward quickly, enduring the severe pain caused by the wound, and pushed Shan Bin, who had not yet regained consciousness, onto the horse's back. Then he waved to the young man: "Brother Mu, follow me and leave the city gate first."
Since there is currently no other way to find traces of Lu Can, Gu Xiao looked at Yu Lie and thought to himself that it would be better to ask the general for help. With his rank in the army, he might be able to mobilize the Yanbei army from the Yanbei camp to search for him. , maybe we can find Lu Can’s whereabouts.
When his mind was settled, Gu Xiao nodded slightly to Jiang Ningxue beside him, and then took the horse's reins from Yu Lie's hand. He looked at Yu Lie's staggering steps due to his unrecovered injury, and said with concern: "Brother Yu's injury... .”
"Brother Mu, don't worry. This kind of minor injury is nothing to us and other people in the army. Please leave with me quickly." Yu Lie seemed to be worried about something. When he interrupted the young man, he kept looking back. Look towards the corridor of Yanbei City Gate.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao had no choice but to stop talking. Yu Lie felt a little relieved when he saw that the young man was finally willing to listen to his advice. He got on his horse, pointed to the west of Yanbei City and said, "Brother Mu, follow me westward."
At this point, Gu Xiao had no choice but to get on his horse, and until he was on the horse's back, he realized that Miss Jiang was a little embarrassed and stood there. He suddenly remembered that Yu Liezhi had brought a horse... He couldn't help but scratch his head and said: "This ...Brother Yu..."
While he was explaining, he saw Jiang Ningxue's slender white hand raised towards her... Looking at her pretty face that usually looked a bit cold, there was now a slight blush on her face.
With a slender eyebrow, a charming smile, a graceful appearance, and beautiful eyes... Just in time, the spring breeze swept up the hem of the white clothes, and the sleeves of the clothes were fluttering, accompanied by the sword of the immortal sword, which held a beautiful woman like a jade sword like a rainbow...
The young man was stunned until Yu Lie's urging voice came from behind him, and he finally came back to his senses.
"Brother Mu, what are you waiting for? Leave with a certain person quickly."
"Cough...cough..." At this moment, the young man realized that he had lost his composure. Hearing the urging, he calmed down, stretched out his hand to hold the spring onion-like hand, and pulled Jiang Ningxue onto the horse...
Yu Lie, who was in the army, didn't understand the thoughts of these young men. When he saw Brother Mu and the two had mounted their horses, they waved their whips.
"drive--"
The horse was in pain when he sat down, and he ran away with Yu Lie on his back... Behind him, Gu Xiao gently grabbed the white clothes in front of him, pinched the horse's belly, and pursued Yu Lie ahead.
In front of Yanbei City, calm returned, but with just a stick of incense, the calm was broken. In the corridor of the city gate, there was the sound of horse hooves, and then the heavy sound of thousands of people stepping on the ground in unison.
Although the corridor was dark, it was illuminated by firelight with the sound. The first thing to break through the darkness was the "patrol" banner spread out in the wind. Following that, thousands of patrol troops came out, leading the way. The soldier was none other than Ning Wang Qitao.
However, at this time, this gentle and gentle prince no longer had a relaxed expression on his face. His eyebrows were furrowed in the character "Chuan". Behind him, both the Yanbei generals and the patrolling generals all had solemn expressions and murderous eyes. There is no previous excitement and joy of escaping from the Dream Cannon and cannibalism.
Prince Ning Qitao scanned the city gate with his bright eyes, but did not find the figure in blue shirt. Not only did his brows not frown deeper, but there was some happiness and joy in his bright eyes, but it passed away in a flash. No one around him noticed.
After thinking for a moment, Prince Ning called out softly: "Gao Deng!"
When the generals behind him heard the words, they stepped out of the way. Among the crowd, a fat figure drove his horse through the crowd, walked to King Ning's side, turned over, dismounted, saluted and shouted.
"The general is here!"
Qi Tao looked at this fat body and still couldn't believe that Yanbei's famous idiot general could actually produce the seal given by his father. He couldn't even believe that he was a chess piece placed by his father in Yanbei.
Thinking of what was mentioned in the handwriting, Qi Tao
I still have lingering fears. The generals of Yanbei have not noticed that Gao Deng has been able to destroy his reputation for so many years. Thinking of all the things that happened in Yanbei City, I can't help but break out in cold sweat. This kind of thinking and means, this kind of decisive courage... Thinking about this , couldn't help but look back to the south, wondering whether as his son, I should be happy or worried...
He also recalled what the generals had said about the changes in his capital, and how he had been captured these days. He never expected that ghosts would appear again at night in Jianglin City, and the people who died this time would actually be the right minister of the court, as well as his imperial brother.
Although he has never liked Fan Mou, he has been with him for many years and has made great contributions to his father. He also thinks of his brother, and the scene where he often pestered his brother to take him to play when he was a child comes to mind, and now he is dead. Underneath the ghostly night walk...
Qi Tao knew that this was not the time to think about this, so he gathered his thoughts for a moment and turned his eyes to the fat figure kneeling in front of him. His eyes were slightly focused and he said in a deep voice: "Get up and answer... In your opinion, how can we find this person?" "
Gao Deng stood up and did not rush to answer Prince Ning's question. Instead, he looked at the crowd until he saw Old Chen nodding slightly and speaking squarely.
"Your Majesty, the young man has chased people out of the city before, and he must be looking north. Our patrol army only needs to pursue north... But the general has fought with that young man in Mo County. He is not only a martial artist Gao Qiang is even more flexible in his thinking. The general thought that in addition to chasing north, we still need to divide our forces and not let go of the east or west sides!"
Hearing this, Prince Ning frowned slightly and said, "General Gao is really thoughtful..."
Just as Qi Tao was approving, he heard one of the Yanbei generals behind him speak.
"The general will think it's inappropriate!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. How could anyone dare to interrupt King Ning's question? They all looked sideways in search of reputation and saw that it was Fukang, one of the patrolling generals.
After exchanging glances with his brother Fu Rui, Fukang pulled the reins, stepped out of the queue, dismounted, and knelt in front of Qi Tao's saddle.
Being interrupted by Fukang's words, everyone thought His Highness Prince Ning would get furious, but unexpectedly, the prince on horseback just frowned and spoke gently.
"How is General Fukang's injury?"
Both the Yanbei generals and Fukang in front of the saddle were all startled. They did not expect His Highness Prince Ning to be concerned about his injuries at this time. Fukang's face rose slightly, he knelt and said, "Your Highness, this is a small injury. It's okay..."
"The two generals have been in Yanbei for many years and have made great achievements. I heard a lot about the generals when I went north. I was worried that the generals were injured and the patrols were leaderless. How should I report to my father? It doesn't matter. That's fine, it's fine..." Qi Tao said, as if he had already forgotten about Gao Deng's report.
When the conversation changed, Qi Tao's eyebrows narrowed slightly and he spoke in a deep voice: "Just now you said that General Gao's words were inappropriate. I don't know what's wrong. These are all generals leading the Yanbei army. You might as well say it directly."
Perhaps he was so shocked by the sudden change in King Ning's expression that he didn't come back to his senses. Fukang was not good at words, and he didn't know how to talk about this interruption. King Ning was not in a hurry, and just sat on the horse with great interest. He looked at the general Zangzhizi.
When all the generals in Yanbei saw this scene, they were all sweating for Fukang. There were ghosts walking in Jianglin City at night, the prince passed away, and the number of heirs to the emperor was already very few. Now only His Highness Prince Ning is left. In the future, when the emperor dies, Prince Ning will Then he will inherit the throne and lose his composure in front of him. What will happen in the future...
Just as the generals were thinking secretly, they saw Furui already out of the queue, kneeling beside his brother, and loudly reported: "Your Highness, my brother is clumsy in his speech when he is free. I am sorry for being disrespectful. Please forgive me for this."
"I have never cared about this. Since General Fukang cannot explain it, I will not let you do it for me." King Ning asked without any hurry. Read the book
When Furui heard the prince speak, even though he didn't raise his head to look at his expression, he already guessed a bit of the prince's thoughts. He couldn't help but calm down, and after kowtowing, he calmly reported.
"Your Majesty, General Gao's strategy just now is to have my patrol troops divide up their forces to pursue them. However, the land of Yanbei is vast, and our patrol troops only have a few thousand soldiers. If we divide our troops and move forward in separate groups, it will only be a waste of military strength and end up defeating the general. It seems that our patrol has not leaked the news, so why not concentrate our forces and do our best to go north to search for the whereabouts of the young man... I don’t know what General Gao wants to do with his strategy of dividing the troops."
As soon as this statement came out
, all the generals in Yanbei nodded slightly, not because they agreed with Furui's strategy, but because they looked down on that idiot general Gao Deng, who could be so reused by the Holy Emperor.
"Yes, what General Fury said is true..."
"That's right. Divide your troops and chase people. The area north of Yanbei is so big. How can we find someone..."
Xu Shi heard the generals talking behind him. The corner of King Ning's mouth curled up slightly, and he coughed a few times to calm down the discussions behind him. Then he turned to Gao Deng and spoke slowly: "General Gao, although I am a prince, , but all the generals have been in Yanbei for many years and are well versed in the art of war, and what they say makes sense. You have your father's decree... I wonder what you think about it?"
Hearing this, Gordon turned his head slightly and saw the slightly raised corners of the Fu brothers kneeling beside him. He instantly understood that this was not the intention of the generals. It was clearly His Highness and the two men on horseback in front of him. The people had already discussed it, and a big drama was staged in front of them... because this was what the generals wanted, so that they had to follow it.
Although he carries the emperor's decree, he can't resist the changes in things. If he insists on going his own way, obeys the people with the imperial edict, and acts according to his own policy, if he fails to catch up with the young man, he will not be able to listen to others' advice.
I had heard before that His Highness Prince Ning went north and met the young man when he arrived in Mo County. I thought that His Highness wanted to protect him, so he couldn't help but secretly thought to himself: "The Crown Prince has passed away, and His Highness Prince Ning has become the Holy Prince." The only heir, if the Holy One suppresses him today..."
After weighing things in his mind and making up his mind, Gao Deng seemed to have turned back into the idiot general he once was. With fat on his face, he forced out a smile and kowtowed to the prince in front of his saddle: "Your Majesty, the general is indeed the last general." You are being hasty. All the generals are capable of conquering and fighting well. What you said is true. I am willing to follow the advice of all the generals. Please make your decision."
"In that case, generals, please obey your orders!" Seeing Gao Deng's appearance, Qi Tao smiled and immediately gave orders to the generals behind him.
"The cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, spread out at a distance of ten feet, and search north. If you see the boy's whereabouts, come and report immediately! The Yanbei camp cannot be without the chief general. The other generals will return to their respective camps. Fukang and Furui , Gao Deng and his subordinates left the army to listen to you!"
"Have an order!"
Upon hearing the order, the patrolmen shouted in unison, and the generals also moved according to the order. Within a moment, only the Fu brothers and Gao Deng's men were left in front of the gate of Yanbei City.
"General Gao, I am worried that the soldiers at the front are being neglected. Please lead your troops to supervise them and not be negligent." King Ning looked at Gao Deng, who was still kneeling in front of him, and ordered calmly.
"General... you have your order!" Gao Deng knew that Prince Ning wanted to distract him, but he had no choice but to wink at Lao Chen, then get on his horse and ride away.
Seeing Gao Deng's back as he rode away, Prince Ning breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to the Fu brothers in front of him: "General Fu, please get up quickly."
