Chapter 99
Ah Ning also hung up the little clothes he bought, and went to the depths of the dense forest with Chang Xiaoqiu to join the big army.
The white mist is still transpiring, sticking to the skin wetly, giving people the illusion that the venom seeps into the bones.At this time, the southwest is warm and spring is blooming, and even the garrison camp is full of singing birds and flowers, but it is still cold and quiet here, and the depths of the forest are even darker. An adjutant clicked his tongue: "Even the ghost boy who has been infected They can only live on the edge of the forest, and if they go deeper, will there really be living people living there?"
"In the depths of the driest desert in the northwest, there is a tribe of Tuoling scattered. They can tell which piece of sand contains water sources just by their eyes." An impenetrable thing."
"Then they are very capable." Chang Xiaoqiu tiptoed to look into the depths, "Not only can they live freely in the miasma forest, but they are also extremely skilled, able to defeat Mu Zhe and his congregation."
"It doesn't matter how good he is, as long as he doesn't disturb the lives of the garrison and the people, it's not our turn to disturb them." Gao Lin glanced at the sun, "Well, it's almost time, you guys, follow me down the mountain and go to the Mrs. Zhou is celebrating her birthday!"
"Vice General Gao, the old lady's surname is Zhang."
"Almost, almost."
No matter what the surname is, in short, it is a rare festive event in the near future.Liang Shu sent Chang Xiaoqiu and Aning to have dinner with Gao Lin, and everyone left together in a noisy manner, Liu Xian'an stood there waiting for a long time, before he could say anything, he had to ask, "Aren't we going? "
"No, I'll take you to eat alone." Liang Shu took his hand, "The running water table here is hot and sour, and it's not your taste. Who vomited after eating salted raw fish last time?"
"...But it's lively."
"The excitement is not only about eating, after eating, the village will also set up a stage to sing, and then I will take you down the mountain." Liang Shu squatted down halfway, "Come up, there are many trees and vines here, I will carry you on my back."
The second young master Liu, who was feeling tired from walking, immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to evade it, but the elder brother told me to move more.
Liang Shu said: "Then you thump on my back twice."
Liu Xian'an symbolically twisted his wrist twice, and completed the day's activity. Master Liu saw silence, and Young Master Liu cried when he saw it—but he couldn't take care of the ruler for the time being. Recently, he was treating Kuyou At the critical moment of eye disease, he couldn't spare half an inch of his heart.
In the garrison camp, Kuyou discerned the movement outside and asked, "It seems like someone is beating gongs and drums?"
Liu Xianche said: "There is an old lady at the foot of the mountain celebrating her birthday, she should have sent some wedding cakes up the mountain, but Commander Ku can hear the movement far away at the front door, her hearing is really good."
"I practiced with the prince, now that my sight is blocked, I listen more carefully." Ku You helped the bandage around his eyes, "How long before I can see?"
"It depends on the effect of this acupuncture. If you are lucky, it will take ten days. If it doesn't work, you can wait for the next operation." Liu Xianche said, "Commander Ku was poisoned in his early years, so the treatment is better than ordinary golden blindness. It's more complicated and requires a little more patience."
"Okay." I have already got the disease, so I have no patience, I can only have patience.Kuyou stood up with a stick, and said with a smile, "Just to listen to those brats making noise, I'll go to the front and ask for two wedding cakes for us to eat."
Liu Xianche responded and watched the other party leave the small courtyard.He found that Kuyou's ability to perceive the outside world was already very strong, he hardly used a wooden stick to explore the way, and he walked with great strides, if it weren't for the gauze covering his eyes, ordinary people would not even be able to tell that he was suffering from serious eye diseases.
The wedding cakes were exquisitely made, even with seven or eight kinds of fillings, and life in the military camp was finally a little more sweet.Liu Xian'an also shared a wedding cake, and while he was eating, he returned to his residence. At this time, Liang Shu's newly hired chef from the south of the Yangtze River had already fried and cooked a table of dishes, and was standing in the courtyard with a smile on his face, ready to receive the reward.
Liang Shu threw an ingot of silver, the fat uncle resigned with a smile on his face, how could His Royal Highness Xiao Wang have the ability to lead the army out to conquer the cult, and he did not forget to tie back his sweetheart... Please come back, please come back a name The cook, and specifically asked for the taste of Baihe City, fifty miles away from Baihe City, it is considered a foreign place, because my lazy man has never traveled such a long way.
"Does it taste like it?" Liang Shu leaned over and asked before he had eaten two bites of the rice, his expression was exactly the same as that of the fat uncle asking for the reward just now.
Liu Xian'an replied: "Like."
It's all alike, isn't that a bit of a reward?Anyway, no one else can see this meal, and the eyes will be very painful. If the half-eaten wedding cake is alive in the sky, you may also reflect on why you are already full of sugar, and this young couple In comparison, it is not half sweet enough.
The two of you eat finely with one spoonful and one spoonful. The flowing water mat in the village at the foot of the mountain is a different scene. Even Gao Lin, who always likes to join in the fun, was a little dizzy from the noise, and the women embraced him. The children in the book are like suonas one after another. When they screamed, their souls were split.
After Cheng Suyue, Aning, and Chang Xiaoqiu went to see the old birthday star, they saw a young girl standing in front of Gao Lin when they went out, so they immediately stood in tacit understanding, pretending to chat, but in fact, their ears could not be opened into copper basins big--
Gao Lin was young and promising, and he was born with a dignified appearance. Apart from his bad mouth, he had no other major problems, so no matter whether he was in the northwest or the southwest, he was considered a hot spot for marriage and love, and this time was no exception.The young girl chatted with him for a while, and the young girl's elder brother and grandma also appeared and surrounded him without anyone noticing. In terms of major life matters, seeing Gao Lin wanted to run away later, he dragged His Royal Highness Xiao Wang back. In short, the conversation was very strategic, and he refused to let him go anyway.
Cheng Suyue: "Pfft!"
Gao Lin was so perfunctory that his mouth was parched, he felt that he had finished talking about his share for half a month, and the other party wanted to drag him into the house for tea.At the critical moment, fortunately, Liang Shu and Liu Xian'an appeared in time, and His Royal Highness Xiao Wang was more capable of bluffing people when he was expressionless. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter with those three people?"
Cheng Suyue said with a smile: "I was trying to match my brother. I talked for a quarter of an hour, but I was scared away by the prince."
Gao Lin drove away the younger sister who didn't think it was a big deal, and complained to Liang Shu: "My lord, it's terrible. Really, if I insist that I drink the wine in the village, I have to be the son-in-law of the village. If I don't, I am irresponsible. Come on Chatting back and forth, the traffickers are not so good at tying them up."
Liu Xian'an sympathetically handed him a throat lozenge.
Her voice is hoarse, and it seems that she really talked a lot.
There is indeed a custom of snatching marriages in the Southwest. Gao Lin was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would become the groom's official, so he stopped eating, and went back to accompany Kuyou to have a big pot meal.When he faced the girl herself, he wished he could run on eight legs, but now that the girl was gone, he started to shriek, bragging about himself with great emotion, you haven't seen, brother, I am so valuable, tsk tsk tsk.
Kuyou was very annoyed: "Get out!"
After scolding, he stood up and walked quickly.
Gao Lin stretched out his hand, but before he could catch a piece of cloud, he thought to himself that the running speed of you being chased by a dog doesn't matter if I'm blind or not.
The entire Valley of Ten Faces celebrated this spring with birthday banquets.The threat of the ghost boy has been eliminated, but in the wider southwestern continent, the cult is still as difficult to get rid of as a stubborn disease, so after a short period of relaxation, everyone has thrown themselves into a new round of busy work.
Aning brought a plate of gorgon cake and asked, "What are you writing, sir?"
"It's nothing, just draw or draw." Liu Xian'an put down his brush, "I was thinking about the huge stone wall at the entrance of the Valley of Ten Faces, which recorded the ancestors of the villagers. Could it have something to do with that mysterious tribe in the dense forest?"
"It's possible, but didn't your lord say you don't need to bother them?"
"I don't need to bother, so I just think about it myself."
Liu Xian'an washed his hands, took a piece of snack by himself, broke it open and shared it with Aning, and said: "Later, you can also share some with others, especially Miss Cheng, the chef has cooked too much. "
Since the fat uncle entered the camp, he has never rested. With the cherishment of the generous wages and the admiration for His Royal Highness King Xiao, he has put out all his strengths. He trades soup and snacks every day, and Liu Xian'an can't keep his mouth shut. Rest, lie on the bed at night and ask: "Have I gained weight recently?"
Liang Shu touched the place that he shouldn't have touched before getting married, and it felt good, and he replied with satisfaction: "It's just right to be fat, I'll give him a reward."
Liu Xian'an: "..."
Forget it, rely on yourself.
So seven dishes and eight bowls of dim sum were sent out.This day, Aning was running around with food boxes again, first went to Gao Lin's residence, but there was no one there, then went to Cheng Suyue's yard, put his head in the door: "Miss Cheng, are you busy? Give me a bowl of red bean paste."
"Come in and sit down." Cheng Suyue put the basket in her hand on the table, "I'm looking for clothes, hell, I can't find them."
The clothes belonged to Gao Lin, and there was a hole in the sleeve, it was a pity to throw it away, so I gave Cheng Suyue to help mend it.Ah Ning was quite shocked when she heard it. Of course, she was not shocked that the clothes would be lost, but she was shocked that Miss Cheng could do such delicate work as mending clothes!Of course, he didn't show this shock, but only guessed: "Could it be taken away by wild animals to build a nest?"
"That's the only possibility." A thief would never sneak into the barracks just to steal a piece of rags.Cheng Suyue said: "Forget it, it's not a valuable thing. If you don't look for it, do you still want to send snacks to someone?"
"There's a bowl left, I'll ask the Eldest Young Master and Commander Ku who wants it." Aning said, "They should have finished applying the medicine by now."
Kuyou's residence is on the north side of the camp.
There were two soldiers patrolling outside the courtyard, basking in the sun. They were a little drowsy at first, but they were woken up by a cough. When they saw who was coming, they hurriedly stood up straight: "Lieutenant Gao!"
The people in the room put down their teacups with a "boom", and wanted to run while holding the window, fearing that they would be dragged back to tell about their love history in detail, but Gao Lin said: "My lord wants you and me to go over as soon as possible."
Ku You breathed a sigh of relief, before he said it earlier, he put down one leg, raised his hand to straighten his clothes, and asked, "Why is your lord looking for us now?"
"It seems that I found something in the woods." Gao Lin handed him the stick, "Let's go."
Found something in the woods?Ku You was taken aback when he heard that: "Bai Fujiao buried it?"
"I haven't seen it either." Gao Lin said, "I'll wait for you to see it together."
The two left the big camp and walked towards the depths of the dense forest. The first section of the road was hard soil because soldiers and villagers often came in and out, but the further they went, the more inaccessible the road was. A thick layer of fallen leaves.
rustle.
rustle.
rustle.
Gao Lin walked quickly, Kuyou pricked up his ears, followed him relying on his voice, followed him for a while, but stopped, stretched his stick forward, and shouted: "Hey, you come here and give me a hand, and I touched my foot. mud."
After a while, the wooden stick shook slightly, as if being held by another section.
And almost at the same moment, Ku You suddenly pulled the wooden stick in front of him, and with the other hand raised a soft sword from his sleeve, and stabbed straight at the person in front of him!
The other party flew away and sneered: "Commander Ku, you are very smart."
"The voice is similar, but the walking is not like it." Ku You clenched the hilt of the sword, "I am not a coward, dare to disguise myself and break into the barracks."
"If you are not courageous, it will be difficult to lure the leader of suffering here." The other party ordered in a low voice, "Do it!"
Kuyou caught the sound of the wind coming from above his head, and slashed with his hand, the blade of the sword "clanged", as if wrapped in a very soft fabric, and the silver bells rang in his ear, which seriously interfered with his judgment. After a little hesitation, a cold sword was placed on the neck.
"Don't worry, our leader just wants to talk to you."
……
Ah Ning took the snacks and went to find Liu Xianche first, but the drug boy said that the eldest son went down the mountain with Deputy General Gao after changing the medicine for Commander Ku in the morning, to pick up a villager's leg, and he hasn't come back until now .
So he ran to Beiying again, but the guards also said that Commander Ku and Deputy General Gao had gone out together, not long ago.
Aning was confused when he heard this: "Then what about my eldest son?"
"I didn't see it, only Lieutenant Gao came here." The guard said, "He looked in a hurry. The matter should be urgent. There was a big hole in his sleeve, and he didn't have time to change his clothes. The two said a few words, hurriedly Get busy and leave."
When Ah Ning heard that the missing tattered clothes appeared again, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly asked, "Where is the prince?"
"In the study."
Aning stuffed the snack into the guard's hand, turned around and ran to the study.
It sounds so absurd that the president of the Southwest Garrison was kidnapped like this.Liang Shu immediately ordered to block all the entrances and exits, and Gao Lin hurried back. He hadn't heard about Kuyou yet, but he found another anomaly—the grandparents who insisted on kissing each other at the birthday banquet that day The three of them were not the villagers of the Ten Faces Valley. Today, I accidentally mentioned it, but everyone said that they had never seen it, as if they were ghosts that appeared out of nowhere.
"But what's the point of them pestering me with all that crap?"
"It doesn't need meaning, as long as you can be familiar with your voice and tone, and be easy to imitate, that's enough." Liu Xian'an said, "Their real purpose is to lead."
Gao Lin cursed.
The opponent's time card is so accurate, it can be seen that they have prepared extremely well in advance, even if they send troops to search the mountain now, they may not find any results.Cheng Suyue saw that Liang Shu's face was extremely ugly, and said: "Kuyou has a special status, Bai Fujiao has tied him up, there is a great possibility that he will negotiate terms with the prince, at least... for now, his life will not be in danger."
Just as he was talking, someone sent a letter outside the house, but it wasn't from Bai Fujiao, but from Liu Hengchang.
"What new information?" Liu Xian'an asked.
Liang Shu opened it and scanned it, and the letter happened to mention the new guest that Mu Zhe had invited from Nanyang.
"Nanyang people can call thunderstorms, manipulate birds of prey, transform into thousands of troops, and recruit undead souls." Gao Lin said, "It's quite daring to brag, and the grocery store is not as extensive as him."
Liu Xian'an guessed: "It may also be a good ventriloquist. As long as the listener closes their eyes, they can turn out a thousand soldiers." Moreover, if it were an ordinary person, they would not be able to pretend to have a fake voice after just one conversation.
Gao Lin thought, absolutely, this bluffing skill seems to be tailor-made for Kuyou.
Liu Xianche asked: "What else did Ah Chang write in the letter?"
"I wrote that Wumeng Yunyou won't recover in a short period of time." Liu Xian'an looked at the letter, "But it wasn't his idea, but Feng Xiaojin, Feng Xiaojin offered not to let the Wumeng brothers and sisters get involved in this dispute between Bai Fujiao and the prince. In addition, he also provided a lot of convenience for Ah Chang to prescribe medicine."
"This man...it doesn't sound like he is very loyal to Mu Zhe." Cheng Suyue touched his newly healed neck, "He really doesn't seem to care about anything, but if he really wants to protect those two brothers and sisters, why doesn't he take him with him?" They fly away, but they want to live in that dirty and gloomy cult?"
"It's not necessarily that you don't want to leave, it may be that you can't. Cults always have some indiscriminate skills in controlling people." Liu Xianche said, "After this change of dressing, there is a half chance that the eyes of the bitter commander will be closed. get well."
"But that's because Bai Fujiao treated him with courtesy in the early stage." Liang Shu ordered, "Go and bring Chi Teng out of prison!"
The soldier took the order, and hearing the anger in the prince's voice, he ran like the wind, not daring to delay for a moment.
Gao Lin was thinking, if the other party tied him up, it would be fine, but Kuyou is a boring gourd, with a bad tongue, a stubborn temper, and eyes that can't see. After such a set of matching, it falls into the hands of the cult, what do you think? How can you suffer.
motherfucker.
We still have to save people quickly.
The author has something to say:
Xiaoliu: I am fat.
Xiaoliang: No, you are not fat.
