Chapter 169 Women Are Very Careful

Wan Dugui's order made He Laichao and He Ruoting feel scared, and they couldn't help but worry in their hearts. Did Wan Dugui discover something?

After everyone dispersed, He Laichao also returned to his tent, and He Ruoting followed him in and asked, "Sima, did Wan Dugui notice something? Otherwise, why would he order no one to go out? This is not to guard against people in the camp." Do you want to inform people outside the camp?"

He Laichao was also very disturbed, "Wandu Gui looks like a rough man, but in fact the city is very deep, I can't see how deep he is."

"Our goal is Wandugui. Now that Wandugui has found a substitute and is guarded by Hua Mulan, Babaye must not know the news. Now that we can't get out of the camp, we can't pass the news to Baba Ye, isn't it a waste of work?"

The change of the matter was beyond He Laichao's expectation, and it was out of his control. He secretly called it a pity in his heart, and said with an indifferent look on his face: "It's a pity that he found a substitute this time. If he personally Go to the Coyote Ditch to redeem the hostages, and I can take this opportunity to write a letter impeaching him for leaving his post. The old officials in the court have long wanted to deal with Wan Dugui, but they have never caught him. As long as it is confirmed that he left his post Even the emperor can't protect him for the crime!"

"You don't need to worry. If you can't do it this time, you can kill him one time. Even if you can't kill him, you have to get him away! We didn't do anything to him this time, but if we can get rid of Hua Mulan is equivalent to cutting off one of his arms!"

However, He Ruoting was not happy at all, Hua Mulan was highly skilled in martial arts, if the people sent by Babaye not only failed to get rid of Hua Mulan, but were caught alive by Hua Mulan, interrogated the mastermind behind the scenes, and then he and He Lai If it gets involved, it's really shooting yourself in the foot.

"Whether those people can get rid of Hua Mulan is still unknown! If Hua Mulan is alone, it's no problem for them to deal with him. What my subordinates are worried about now is that if Wan Dugui arranges a backup, Things are going to be troublesome!"

Sitting behind the desk, He Laichao sighed: "Now that you and I can't go out of the camp, we can no longer interfere with this matter, we can only resign ourselves to fate!"

He Ruoting was fidgeting, he sat down for a while, stood up for a while and walked back and forth in the big tent, very anxious.

"No, it can't go on like this!" He Ruoting stopped and said to He Laichao, "Sima, we can't let the matter get out of control, we must find a way to pass the news to Baba Ye!"

Seeing that He Ruoting was like an ant on a hot pot, He Laichao also became nervous, stood up and asked, "What do you want to do?"

He Ruoting pondered for a moment, and said to He Laichao: "Sima, you and I have too big a goal, and it is easy to attract the attention of others inside and outside the camp. Now, we can only take the risk of sending someone over the wall to report to Ba Ba Ye. !"

He Laichao thought over He Ruoting's suggestion, thought what he said was reasonable, weighed it again, and immediately sat at the desk and picked up a brush to write a letter. The few times they met each other in person, Sending someone to report the letter can only be done by letter now, Ba Baye doesn't know the people around them, and the person who sent the letter may not be able to tell clearly.

A letter was written soon, and He Laichao called a trusted entourage to tell him: "He Laishi, you hide this letter on your body, and after dark, you can avoid the sentries and patrols and climb over the wall to the right guard. The army camp begged to see Babaye, and handed him this letter!"

"Yes!" He Laishi agreed, took the letter and hid it close to him, turned and left.

The weather these days has always been gloomy. There is only snow, but no melting of ice and snow. The snow on the ground is getting deeper and deeper, and some places even submerge the knees.

In such weather, riding a horse is better than riding a horse-drawn sled. Hua Mulan already has a very intuitive understanding of the stamina of a pony. After boxing the gold cakes, a soldier was summoned and said: "Go to the supply barracks and look for Captain Zhao Junsheng, and tell him that I will ask him to borrow a horse-drawn sled!"

······

Zhao Junsheng is training [-] Modao soldiers, and the Modao is still being built. These people have no weapons to use, so Zhao Junsheng will line up and tacitly understand them.

strength and strength training.

"Ahem, young master, Uncle Xuan has something to report!" Uncle Lu Xuan appeared not far away with his sword in his arms.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at the words, and told Li Bao: "You come and lead the team to drill them!"

Li Bao agreed: "Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng wiped off his sweat with a towel, took the cloak from a soldier and put it on, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I just received a message that Miss Wan and her maid, Xiaocui, were taken away by thieves on their way back to Shanwu County. The thieves asked a soldier accompanying him to bring back a letter, asking Wan Dugui to bring two hundred gold back to Shanwu County. Wolanggou ransom people. Wan Dugui was worried that there was something wrong with this matter, so he found a double to pretend to be him, and sat in the camp by himself, and asked Hua Mulan to bring another follower and gold to go to redeem people!"

Zhao Junsheng's face changed: "What? Miss Wan was taken away? Who did it?"

Lu Xuanbo shook his head: "I don't know yet!"

Zhao Junsheng asked his soldiers to take a map to check, and found the location of Coyote Ditch, which happened to be at the junction of Rouran and the actual control area of ​​the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Coyote ditch? Why did the culprit choose this place?" Zhao Junsheng rubbed his chin with doubts in his heart.

At this time, the guards at the gate of the camp came in and reported: "Captain, there are soldiers from the garrison asking to see you, and they say they are sent by Lord Huaya!"

Zhao Junsheng turned around to look at Lu Xuanbo, and told the guards at the camp gate: "Go and bring him in!"

A soldier of the town garrison was brought in, "I have seen Captain Zhao!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked, "Waiting for the ceremony, why did Master Huaya ask you to come?"

"Go back to Captain Zhao, Master Huaya sent a villain here to borrow a horse-drawn sleigh!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment, and then ordered the guards next to him: "Go to the horse convoy and send an order to send a horse-drawn sleigh!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After a while, the horse-drawn sleigh arrived, and the soldiers sent by Hua Mulan drove the short-footed horses to pull the sleigh away.

Lu Xuanbo held his sword and walked to Zhao Junsheng's side: "Young master, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange and weird! I'm afraid that Master Huaya will be in danger, why don't you go with me? Don't you just let her go alone? adventure?"

"Women are sometimes very narrow-minded. Although Mulan is heroic and masculine, the person to be rescued is Miss Wan. If I go with her, it will be different. Although she doesn't say it on the surface, she will definitely think that I am I was worried about Miss Wan's safety, so I volunteered!"

When Zhao Junsheng said this, he looked at Lu Xuanbo: "But I won't put Mulan in danger. Get ready, the two of us will quietly follow behind Mulan!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu Xuan's face collapsed immediately, and he complained, "Master, why is it me again? People will freeze to death outside in this world of ice and snow!"

Zhao Junsheng's face turned cold, and he stared at Lu Xuanbo: "Are you going? If you don't go, I will go alone!"

Chapter 170 Xue Ye Attack

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you!" Lu Xuanbo surrendered.

Zhao Junsheng asked the soldiers to prepare a horse-drawn sled and dry food and jerky, and summoned Pei Jin, Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Xue Andu and others to come to Yazhang to explain related matters.

Before leaving, Jiao Yunzhe, the leader of the artisan team, handed Zhao Junsheng a crossbow, "Captain, I made this according to the pattern of the Liannu. After some improvements, the size has been doubled, but the lethality and range are not the slightest." It is not weakened, it can be hidden on the body for self-defense, and it can also shoot cross hooks for climbing, it is more practical!"

Zhao Junsheng took a look at the hand crossbow, tied it on the outside of his arm, and wrapped his body with a cloak. No one could see that this sharp weapon was hidden on his body.

"Let's go!" Zhao Junsheng stepped onto the sled and sat down, wrapping himself tightly in a thick cloak.

Under his instructions, Lu Xuanbo put on his hat, waved his whip and drove the short-footed horses to pull the sled and left the camp.

Passing by the gate of the garrison camp, Zhao Junsheng told Lu Xuanbo to stop, and he got off the sled and handed a letter to the guards, asking him to forward it to Wan Dugui.

He wrote this letter to ask for leave from Wan Dugui. In the letter, he told Wan Dugui that he decided to follow Hua Mulan with one light and one dark, which would not only facilitate the rescue of Wan Yutong, but also protect Hua Mulan's safety.

After leaving the Jinling camp, he followed the direction of the horse-drawn sleigh driven by Hua Mulan. Zhao Junsheng told Lu Xuanbo: "Quicken up and keep up with them, don't stay too far away from them!"

Lu Xuanbo brandished his whip and slapped the pony horse pulling the cart, and the speed of the sled increased a little.

There are clear traces of sledges passing by on the snow ahead. As long as you follow this trace, you can always follow behind Hua Mulan and the others. What Zhao Junsheng hopes is that the weather will not change too much.

Today's weather is still not clear, but the wind has stopped, but the temperature is still very low.

There are snow glaciers and silver coverings everywhere, the low plants on the ground are almost covered by heavy snow, and the trees have lost their leaves, and the branches are covered with ice. The whole world is a piece of whiteness, without a trace of it. Green, a scene of desolation, decay and chill.

Zhao Junsheng leaned on the back of the sled, his body swayed with the sway of the sled, and asked, "Old Lu, why do you think the strongman who kidnapped Miss Wan chose to let General Wan take gold to the Coyote Valley to redeem her? "

Lu Xuanbo drove the carriage and said, "I think there are several possibilities: First, the Coyote Ditch is at the junction of Rouran and the forces of Wei State. Once the situation changes, the other party can calmly retreat into the control area of ​​Rouran forces; Second, they may also want Wan Dugui to think that they are from Rouran! In fact, those strong people are probably not from Rouran, because they are targeting Miss Wan, and their goal should not be Miss Wan, but Wan Dugui himself, this can be deduced from the fact that they asked Wan Dugui to go to Coyote Ditch with gold to redeem the hostages in person! How did the Rouran people know that Miss Wan was Wan Dugui's daughter? How could they happen to know that Wan Dugui Is Miss going back to Shanwu County?"
