Luo Ming was restless, paced back and forth in the tent, looked outside several times, and his mood was even more unsteady, so he simply sat down and picked up a book to read, trying to distract himself to some extent.

He sent Ben Lei to follow Yan Junyu, which was unjust.

Luo Ming tightly squeezed the scroll in his hand, remembering that he and Yan Junyu have known each other so far and treated each other as confidantes, it's not like he didn't suspect that Yan Junyu's behavior was suspicious and his identity was a mystery.It was just because he didn't want to lose this friend who had shared weal and woe, and believed from the bottom of his heart that Yan Junyu would not harm him, so he forced himself to ignore these suspicious things.

Seeing that he was about to reach the border, and the trip to Beimang was of great importance, there must be no mistakes, he could not take the lives of hundreds of millions of people to stop him.Even if there is something suspicious, it has to be opened and picked up right now.

But no matter what, he had someone follow Yan Junyu, and he had put himself in an unjust place.When dealing with friends, one should treat each other with sincerity and sincerity. From now on, he will never have the face to face his confidant again.

The curtain was raised lightly, Ben Lei shook his figure, he had already entered the tent, knelt down and said: "Ben Lei returns to life!"

Luo Ming hurriedly asked him, "How is it?"

With a solemn expression, Ben Lei took out the thing from his bosom and handed it to Luo Ming. "This subordinate has been following Mr. Yan for a while now, but nothing has been found. It's just that today, this subordinate saw him go out of camp in the middle of the night, walk all the way to the foot of the north mountain, and jump up a big tree. His behavior was suspicious. After he left, this subordinate also followed him. I jumped up a big tree to look for it, and found such a thing in the bird's nest."

What Luo Ming held in his hand was a four-inch square piece of wood, plain and unpretentious, just a piece of ordinary boxwood.The wood was planed smooth on both sides with a planer, and the white stubble was exposed.If you look closely, you can see small handwriting engraved on both sides.The handwriting is extremely difficult to read, if you don't look carefully, you will definitely mistake it for random scratches.

Luo Ming looked carefully under the lamp, and saw written on the wood: The medicine has been taken.Shi Hongsheng favored Concubine Ma and made her son the crown prince.reply ASAP.

Looking at the other side, there are also a few words written: Returning with King Jing of Dongli.

This wood is obviously a medium for conveying information.The weather in the north was cold early, probably because I was afraid that the letter would be soaked by the frost and heavy snow, so I changed this piece of wood to pass it on.

The handwriting on the back of the wood was Yan Junyu's, Luo Ming knew it at a glance.What about the other side?Shi Hongsheng, Shi Hongsheng, isn't this the name of the Lord of Beimang?Coupled with the foreword and the afterword, Luo Ming was even more certain that this was not a coincidence of having the same name and surname. The piece of wood said that it was indeed Shi Hongsheng, the lord of the Northern Mang Kingdom.

Luo Ming also just received a report from Tingfeng Pavilion the day before yesterday, saying that the Lord of Beimang has loved this noble concubine Ma very much for the past year. He said that it was all because the child born to Concubine Ma Gui was a lucky star bestowed by God on Beimang. Half a month ago, despite the objections of all his ministers, he made a baby under the age of one as the crown prince.

Who did Yan Junyu communicate with?

Liu Yan once mentioned to Luo Ming that he saw Yan Junyu coming and going in and out of Prime Minister Liu Pei's mansion several times, and Luo Ming suspected at that time that Yan Junyu was probably a spy sent by Liu Pei to monitor the former prince.However, there were various indications later that things were by no means so simple. Yan Junyu took several actions to save himself. After he had an affair with Liu Pei because of his shallow love affairs, Yan Junyu still did not leave Prince Jing's mansion, and his actions were so casual. Obviously Liu Pei couldn't order him.

Then the relationship between them is more like a cooperative relationship. This time, Yan Junyu chased after thousands of miles, and he destroyed Liu Pei's treacherous plan as soon as he came, which also showed that he and Liu Pei only shared interests for a while. The goals were inconsistent, and Yan Junyu turned against Liu Pei without any scruples.

Besides this piece of wood, the identity of the person who left the letter is difficult to ascertain. If he is from Beimang, he can call the emperor by his name, which obviously should not be done by a courtier or a subject; He also said, "The medicine has been taken, return quickly," and other words, and Yan Junyu's reply also indicated that he was going to Beimang with him...

Holding this piece of wood, Luo Ming stared intently at the writing on it. He didn't know what emotion he was in. In his previous life, he was betrayed by his brother and killed with a single shot. Could it be that he is still so unlucky in this life? A friend, but repeating the fate of the previous life?

Luo Ming smiled wryly, and mumbled to himself, "Yan Junyu, who are you?"

After being silent for a while, Luo Ming handed the wood back to Ben Lei, and said softly, "Put it back to its original place, and put it away carefully, so that no one else will find out that it has been touched by others."

Ben Lei was startled, "Master, this Yanjun Yu must be a spy from Beimang, why don't you take this piece of wood to question him and drive him away? It's dangerous for us to go to Beimang, and let such a spy be here again." By your side, don't you have to guard against him even when you talk and eat?"

"Put it back to the original place!" Luo Ming said again with a heavier voice.

Ben Lei hastily bowed his head and kowtowed, secretly regretting talking too much, these hidden guards must never have feelings, let alone be so emotional, and hastily refute the judgment made by the master.

Ben Lei put away the wooden sign, swallowed all the words, saluted Luo Ming, and then flew out of the tent, went back to the place where the wood was found, and put the wood back as it was.

Luo Ming asked Zhuyue who was hiding in the dark, "Are you saying I'm seeking my own death? If Liu Yan knows, will she blame me?"

No one answered in the dark, and Zhuyue had the calmest personality, so she was naturally not as open-mouthed as Ben Lei.

Luo Ming laughed twice, blew out the candle in the silence, fell down on the wooden bed, and closed his eyes.

The snowflakes are gradually getting bigger. The heavy snow in the north is like the weather in the north. It is cold and violent. The first moment is still a small snowflake, and the next moment it is like tearing cotton and wadding, floating down one after another.

The sky was covered with red clouds, and Yan Junyu walked alone in the snow for a long time, until his body was numb from the cold, and his hands and feet were almost numb, so he turned around and walked towards the camp.

The cotton-like snowflakes fell on his face, and Yan Junyu suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he couldn't eat enough. He often swallowed snow to satisfy his hunger in winter. Occasionally, if he was lucky, he could catch a handful of sweet-tasting grass roots to satisfy his hunger. Only occasionally, most of the time, it is bitter weeds and black soil that are caught in the mouth.

To be able to live until now, my life is really great.Yan Junyu couldn't help laughing.

Turning around, Yan Junyu looked behind him, and there was a series of clear and distinguishable footprints on the road he just walked, "The horse's feet are exposed, Luo Ming, what are you going to do with me next?"

When I returned to the tent, the snow gradually became smaller, and the cotton wool just now turned into snow beads the size of rice grains.

Going around to the carriage where Jiang Nianbai lived, Yan Junyu stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and took a look inside.

The inside of the car was pitch black, and with the light from outside, one could vaguely see a person crouching in the innermost part of the car.The weather was cold, Jiang Nianbai wrapped his whole body in a blanket, including his head and face, curled up in an ugly ball.

Yan Junyu almost laughed out loud. This person usually pays attention to everything, and cares most about the face of scholars. He can't wait to use a ruler to measure his food and clothes. Although he has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, he can choke to death with one mouth, but in fact But it is the most cautious.If I wake up and see myself sleeping in such an ugly way, I don’t know how many times I will say "a gentleman should be careful about his independence" with a bitter face.

Turning over and getting into the car, Yan Junyu reached out to embrace Jiang Nianbai and put him in his arms.

As soon as he came in, Jiang Nianbai woke up.Opening his eyes halfway, he saw that Yan Junyu was not struggling, and felt that his body was warm, so he moved to a warm place, unceremoniously found a place where he felt comfortable and fleshy, and fell asleep again .

Yan Junyu stared at the person in his arms, and said angrily: "Hey, you should talk to me before going to bed!"

Shouted a few times, Yan Nianbai pretended to be asleep and ignored him, Yan Junyu himself was bored, and lay down leaning against the carriage, pulled the blanket to cover it, and said softly: "Don't pretend to be asleep, I know you are awake, If I asked you last time, you should give me an answer, and let me wait stupidly?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nianbai's breathing became disordered, and he couldn't help coughing twice, but he still closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Yan Junyu patted him on the back with a smile, "I'm not urging you, it's just..." I just wanted to ask you for a word before returning to Beimang.

I couldn't help laughing at myself, if this person knew that he was a Tartar of the Northern Mang, he wondered if he would still talk to him, if he really wanted to expose his identity, if he met him in the future, he might speak bad words to him, how could he be so close.

Hugging the person in his arms tightly, Yan Junyu didn't speak anymore, he couldn't change his background, but his destiny was always in his own hands, and no one or anything could influence him.

The snow had not stopped at dawn, and the snowflakes were flying, which were even bigger than last night.

There were people's voices in the camp early, and the gang leader prepared breakfast. After everyone had eaten, they discussed today's itinerary.

Liu Xi looked at the vast expanse of whiteness all over the mountains and plains, and suggested: "It's better to delay for another day, wait until the snow stops, and then leave tomorrow!"

Xiao Wenkai disagreed, "No, after the snow stopped, there was a strong wind, and the weather was even colder than when it snowed. Besides, Bianguan couldn't wait. The sooner King Jing arrived, the sooner the guards at Bianguan would have the initiative, It is war or peace, and an early decision can be made."

Several other generals also agreed with Xiao Wenkai's words and urged Luo Ming to leave earlier.

Luo Ming counted the days, they left the capital for more than a month, and it was extremely inconvenient to pass news on the road, and he had not received any news from the battle ahead or from the court for five days.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Ming still gave the order to set off.Throw away some of the unnecessary weight, and weed the horse's four hooves to prevent slipping.The soldiers divided into two columns and marched up the mountain.

There is only one trail on the mountain. For many years, only merchants who sell fur goods and horses have passed through it. The road is not wide enough to accommodate a two-wheeled carriage.

Zhao Meng and Liu Xi rode their horses up the trail first, and stepped on a trail in the snow, and the rest followed the trail and braved the snow.

There was a creaking sound under the feet, and the soles of the feet sank immediately when they stepped on the floating snow that was not yet frozen. Everyone walked very hard all the way, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain when it was almost dark. The snow cube stuffed a mouthful into his mouth, and Luo Ming ordered to march overnight, and he must go down the mountain before the sky changed.
