auspicious time has come

Chapter 18 "Hungry and Eating"

"Yes." Yin Hai put down his drink, stood up and lifted the curtain, looked at the dense forest not far away through the guarded soldiers, and said: "The entrance to the secret road in the city is located as early as last year according to the general's order. The person in charge revealed to Xuanpu that in the current situation, he only wants to live, and this is the only way..."

To put it bluntly, this is nothing more than a cat catching a mouse.

Wang Jingyong nodded in agreement, thinking of his general's phrase "this half day", he couldn't help asking: "How did the general know that he would escape during the day instead of at night?"

Xiao Mu never opened his eyes, sitting there, at first glance, he really looks like a living Buddha and Bodhisattva who is not stained by dust.

Before he opened his mouth, Yin Hai over there replied: "The Khitan people are not brave but without wisdom, how could Xuanpu not think of the reason why it's dark under the lamp?"

At this time, a soldier shouted through the tent: "General, Captain Meng is back!"

"Let people in."

A boy with a round face strode into the tent.

"General, several groups of people left from the exit of the secret passage just now. There are more than [-] people in total. The subordinates have checked, and there is no Xuanpu among them!"

Wang Jingyong frowned when he heard the words: "Could it be that Xuanpu sent out to explore the way?"

"I'm afraid it's more than just exploring the way." Yin Hai looked at Xiao Mu and said, "It's probably the general who gave him the idea—he won't, and dare not, take this secret road."

Back then, the city guard Lu Qin ordered people to use this secret road to send the people out of the city. It was widely spread, so the existence of the secret road was not a secret.

"Don't go this way?" Wang Jingyong was puzzled: "There is only one secret road. If you don't go this way, which one should you go? In just three days, can he dig one out again?"

Yin Hai asked: "It's too late to dig a whole secret passage now, but what if we follow the original secret passage and dig another exit outside the city?"

Wang Jingyong was startled when he heard that, and then suddenly looked at the topographic map of Hulun City on the table in front of Xiao Mu.

It clearly marked the place where the secret road passed through, and besides the original exit, it also marked a branching route——

Among the routes leading to different directions, one of them was finally circled with a Chinese ink pen.

Half an hour later, a man in black who was captured was forced to kneel in the big tent.

He was wearing a black cloak and a hood over his head. Wang Jingyong stepped forward and tore off his hood, revealing a foreign face with slightly high cheekbones and a fierce and unwilling expression.

His hands were bound from behind, struggling to stand up, but Wang Jingyong pressed him firmly.

He looked at the young general sitting on the seat, and his eyes met. The general said: "Commander Xuanpu, long time no see."

Three years ago, the Turks colluded with the Khitan and took advantage of the chaos to raise troops, captured the six cities of the Northland in one fell swoop, and divided them up.In recent years, the court situation has been unstable, and the court has been too busy to take care of itself, and has never reported any hope of regaining the lost land——

No one expected that Xiao Mu, the envoy of Yingzhou Jiedu, who was named Marquis due to the rebellion against the King of Jin, would recover five cities successively in three years.

Now, the three-year battle to recover has finally come to an end.

When it was getting late, the young general stood on the tower of Qianqiu City.

Yin Hai followed beside him, his thoughts drifting away.

Lu Qin, the general who died in this battle three years ago, was a good friend who fought side by side with the general just like him. Back then, Lu Qin's head was gone, only the blood-stained Dasheng army flag remained.

Xiao Mu personally reinserted the military flag on the flag stand.

As the evening wind blew the flag stained with old blood, Yin Hai recited a sentence: "Today, if we take back this city, the old man's soul will rest in peace. His long-cherished wish will be fulfilled, and he will be reborn..."

Back then, Lu Qin guarded the city and saved a whole city of people.

This time the general recaptured the city without bloodshed.

The city has changed hands twice without seeing blood, but it seems to be protected by gods and Buddhas.

Thinking of this, Yin Hai's eyes fell on the tall figure.

That night, Xiao Mu left his manpower to hand over the affairs of Qianqiu City, while he returned to Yingzhou Camp with a group of troops.

Yan Ming, the military doctor who was waiting here earlier, was cursing in anger.

"...How could you let the general go to try that flying bird in person! It's just nonsense!"

"General, in the current situation, if something goes wrong, it will be your fault or mine!"

Several confidants around Xiao Mu were so scolded that they couldn't lift their heads.

Even Yin Hai dared to reply: "Military orders must not be violated, what's the use of strict military doctors scolding us?"

Yan Ming continued to treat the wound with a dark face.

Of course he knew who he should scold, but he... didn't he dare!
"The black wings given by Mr. Su have not been used yet. If I'm not here, people's hearts will be uncertain, so why talk about other things." The wound medicine was pressed on the wound on the shoulder, and the figure was sitting there upright. He never wrinkled, but his handsome face was already covered with cold sweat.

Yan Ming opened his mouth to say more, but held back when he reached his mouth.

On the other side, in the dark room of the interrogation, Xuanpu who was brought back was greeting Wang Jingyong with an iron fist.

Wang Jingyong was tall and mighty, and he was usually a drill maniac in the military camp. A punch in the face made the big and three rough Xuanpu, who was tied to the torture frame, buzzing and blacked out.

"Take out the antidote and spare your life!"

"What antidote is not the antidote, I don't know!"

"How dare you speak hard!"

……

"General, that guy refused to let go! He insisted that he didn't know anything!" Wang Jingyong came to the coach's tent to report.

"Don't be in a hurry, let him go through the trial first and let him suffer." After the medicine was administered, Xiao Mu raised his hand and put on his coat.

"Military doctor Yan, let's give medicine to the big fool." Yin Hai pointed at Wang Jingyong, clicked his tongue and said, "It's just a question, you don't have to do everything yourself."

Wang Jingyong clenched his injured fist and pursed the corners of his mouth.

When he thought about the poisoning of the general, he wished he could smash the opponent's dog's head.

"General, someone from the mansion has sent a letter saying that an imperial envoy has arrived at the mansion!" Meng Dazhu walked into the tent and said.

"Another imperial envoy?" Yan Junshi, who was over [-] years old, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the name this time?"

Meng Dazhu looked at Xiao Mu who was sitting there calmly drinking the medicine: "It is said that I came to marry the general by order!"

Yin Hai, who just took off the wine bag and took a sip, almost spit out the wine when he heard the words.

Master Yan and his son Doctor Yan immediately looked at Xiao Mu.

Wang Jingyong was a little dazed, and also looked at his general.

The atmosphere was inexplicably weird for a while.

General Xiao, the living Bodhisattva of Yingzhou who couldn't show his emotions or expressions, was rarely shocked, and he stopped drinking the medicine.

"Come to the door to say goodbye, the current court really has a way..." Yan Junshi was the first to come back to his senses.

Unexpectedly, he heard his general say: "It's just in time."

After finishing speaking, he put down the medicine bowl and stood up: "Go back to the city and meet me."

Everyone looked at each other.

The general who wanted to avoid him for thousands of miles when he heard about the marriage, suddenly thought of it?
But the daughter-in-law issued by the imperial court, can I ask for this?

You must not be hungry and choose what you eat, General!

　Good noon~ Today I want to eat braised chicken feet + snail noodles
