Chapter 112
Chapter 112
In Weicheng, the original general's mansion has been occupied by the generals of Sai Mo. In the study, two men are discussing the next step after capturing Weicheng.
The army division had only returned to Weicheng in the last few days. With a group of soldiers, he rushed back very tiredly, but he was in a good mood. Maybe it was because he was out for a trip, or maybe it was because he was captured again under the command of Commander Sai Mo. Weicheng.
The tall man stood in the study room, half of his face was horribly scarred. In an instant, one could imagine the pain from the flames rolling over his face, and the violent eyes made people feel even more frightened.
Everyone dared not look up at the face of Commander Sai Mo, for fear that they would lose their lives.
It's all because once, a servant brought hot water for washing to the general. His eyes met the scarred face, and he was so frightened that he knocked over the face in his hand. , was dragged down and beheaded.
At this moment in the study, the man in the long gown took off his mask, revealing a handsome face with a burn scar on his smooth face.
Li Mo let out a long breath. Every time he put on the mask, he always felt that there was a depressing atmosphere that made him breathless, especially when he hardly took off the mask during the time he went out, which made him want to relax even more.
Li Mo sighed: "Sure enough, it's more comfortable without a mask."
The tall man glanced at him, his usually violent and gloomy eyes turned out to be a little softer, his hoarse voice was as harsh and unpleasant as he had been in the desert for several days without drinking water.
"Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
He usually seldom speaks. It is precisely because his vocal cords are damaged that his voice becomes extremely unpleasant, so he chooses to remain silent, but when facing Li Mo, he always speaks more, because he knows that Li Mo will not dislike him.
"There are soldiers outside the study, no one can enter without our order." Li Mo put the mask on the table with a smile on his face.
"It's because this is Weicheng."
Li Mo raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his eyes, avoiding this topic and did not answer, because only the two of them knew the answer.
When he was in Yizhou, he wore a mask all the time, and he never relaxed even when he was sleeping. He often woke up and wondered if the mask was still on his face.
It is precisely because there are the most familiar relatives by his side, and he is recognized even if he is inadvertent. He is not ready to face these, so he can only cover himself carefully at all times.
And the other party knew all this, and even laughed at him for being too cautious in Yizhou.
"...If the war is won, you will have to face them sooner or later. Why bother to hide like this." The two have opinions, just kill them, even relatives will be afraid of the threat of death.
What's more, he was born in the imperial family and he would not trust his relatives, family love is the easiest thing to betray him.
"When the boat arrives at the bridge, it will be natural. Let's make plans when the time comes..." Li Mo also thought about this outcome, but he really didn't have the courage to face his relatives' eyes, so he changed the subject and saw the man acting as if nothing had happened. Said: "I heard that you executed a servant a few days ago?"
The man sneered, his eyes showed disdain, and he said lightly, "Yes, whoever told you that?"
Li Mo frowned, disapproving of his attitude, and said coldly: "After asking, are you going to kill that person again?"
"Otherwise? This kind of person will only betray."
"Enough!" Li Mo sternly stopped him, seeing the gloomy eyes in the man's eyes, controlled his emotions to prevent outsiders from hearing, and said in a low voice: "Wei Sui, you were not like this before!"
Wei Sui stared at him closely, his eyes were like eagle eyes staring at prey, giving people a kind of terrifying coercion, his voice was hoarse, and said: "It should be said that you are different after you come back."
"You didn't quarrel with me like this before because of unrelated people." Wei Sui continued to ask: "What happened? Or did you meet someone?"
Li Mo rubbed his temples, feeling unable to communicate with Wei Sui, let alone change his mind, that suspicious attitude became more and more serious, this time it really made him feel powerless.
Maybe Wei Sui really needs to go out for a walk like him.
"Nothing happened, let's discuss how to advance after we capture Weicheng." Li Mo calmed down and stopped talking about this topic with Wei Sui, knowing that he would not be able to change Wei Sui's opinion for a while.
Wei Sui still stared at him closely, his eyes still chasing after him, but his attitude was relaxed.
Li Mo spread out the map, laid it flat on the table, and began to talk about his views: "This time Lian Yuanlong led the Yizhou Army to defeat, and there should be more than 1 soldiers under him...According to the report from the spies, they seem to be Heading towards Qingzhou, but there is no guarantee that there is no fraud in it. After all, Lian Yuanlong did not choose to fight to the death this time, but led the army to be defeated, which makes people suspicious... first send people to search for their traces. As for Qingzhou side……"
"Privately, I think it is better to station an army outside Qingzhou, and observe the movement of Qingzhou when not attacking. After all, the gate of Qingzhou is closed, and it will not be able to take it down for a while. There is no need to waste troops to fight them, but let this army harass them. Qingzhou, create a false impression..." As he said, his finger slid to a narrow and steep road outside Weicheng that marked the Kongdao Valley, and then pointed to the important checkpoint with bold black letters, "At the same time, he concealed his tracks and passed through the Kongdao Valley , Sneak attack on Tiansuo Pass!"
Tiansuoguan is the throat of Yanqing. If Yanjing transports grain and grass, it must pass through here. It leads to the Nanjiang Canal in the east, Yanjing in the north, and Feng'an in the south. The odds of winning the war.
"Well, do as you say." Wei Sui has always trusted Li Mo's judgment, and then he asked Li Mo's purpose of going out this time, "How about the weapon?"
"It has been transported back, but there was a storm on the way and lost some... But this time we captured Weicheng, if we take Tiansuo Pass again, Feng'an Kingdom will definitely not hesitate to provide us with more forging products A better weapon." Although there is a loss, Li Mo thinks this trip is worth it, but it is a weapon, and it can be negotiated with Feng Anguo at that time, and then it will be enough.
The old emperor of Feng'an Kingdom would not be unhappy about sitting back and enjoying the success.
"One more thing." Wei Sui took out a letter and a roll of cloth from his arms and threw them to Li Mo.
The silk was golden yellow, obviously an imperial decree, but Wei Sui threw it over casually.
Li Mo couldn't help frowning when he saw the envelope, he could probably guess where the letter came from.
The imperial decree is nothing more than knowing that after they led the army to take down Yizhou and Weicheng, they gave many rewards, which will meet their military requirements, as long as they fight with confidence.There is nothing special about the imperial decree, the key is the envelope...
The letter was brought by someone sent by the Ji family, that is, the queen's natal family, who held a high position in Saimo, and when the queen passed away, when the emperor was old, they assisted the young prince to prepare for the throne.
In fact, it's just foreign relatives intervening in politics, with obvious ambitions.
And the two of them were able to lead the Saimo army to attack Yanqing precisely because they attached to the Ji family.
If the Ji family hadn't helped them conceal their identities and given them a chance to prove their abilities, it would have been impossible for them to get to where they are now.
Now that they have conquered Yizhou and Weicheng, the Ji family saw the benefits and couldn't wait to start making moves.
Sure enough, the contents of the letter were all bad news that Li Mo could predict.
Li Mo frowned slightly, put away the letter, looked at Wei Sui and asked, "Have you read it?"
Wei Sui nodded, his eyes gradually became gloomy, full of killing intent, violence was about to move in his body, and he asked Li Mo: "What are you going to do?"
Li Mo felt Wei Sui's killing intent. Although he was also dissatisfied with the Ji family's actions, they are now attached to the Ji family. The Ji family wanted to use their talents to let them lead the army. Obviously, they can't make the decisions. when.
He sighed softly, and said: "We cannot refuse this matter. I am afraid that the young master of the Ji family who has been sent is already on his way, just waiting for us to give him the position of commander. Let's talk about it when the time comes."
"No, I'm talking about another matter in the letter." Wei Sui's eyes were stormy, "They said they would marry you to Miss Ji's family."
In the letter, apart from sending the young master of the Ji family to take over the Saimo army, it also mentioned that Li Mo had reached the age of starting a family, revealing that he wanted to betroth him to Miss Ji's family.
It's just to control Li Mo better. After all, they are outsiders after all, and after all, there is an extra layer of protection after marriage. If Wei Sui's scars on his face were not too terrifying, Wei Sui should be the one who married the Ji family bit.
Li Mo didn't like this matter, but he wouldn't refuse it too thoroughly. In order not to cause trouble, he could only say: "The Ji family doesn't trust us now, so I will find a chance to clarify this matter later."
Wei Sui felt relieved and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Looking gloomily at the back of Li Mo leaving after putting on the mask, Wei Sui summoned the soldiers who also followed Li Mo to Nanjiang, and asked, "Who did the military commander meet on this trip?"
The soldier didn't understand what he meant, so he had to say: "The military division met many people along the way..."
Wei Wei glanced at him coldly, causing the soldier to feel cold all over. Suddenly, a portrait flashed across his mind, and the soldier quickly said, "There is a man! He looks very good-looking. The military commander seems to be much happier since meeting him!"
It may have been that face that crossed his mind first, causing the soldier to blurt out his impression of the man.
Hearing this, Wei Sui's face was as cold as ice.
----------
"Ah, sneezing." Li Yao actually sneezed, which surprised even himself.
Qi Muye who was next to him was also very surprised when he saw it. He didn't expect Li Yao to sneeze as calmly as others, as if he just uttered these two words.
Qi Muye couldn't help asking: "Did you catch a cold?"
Li Yao shook his head and said, "No."
The love intelligence brain did not detect any signs of illness in him, so it was attributed to the stress response of his nasal mucosa.
"Let's go!" Song Ruyu rode on the horse, shouted to them behind him, and then led the crowd down the mountain in the gray sky.
The cottage was as quiet as usual at this time, but every household opened the door, and the entrance of the village was crowded with so many people for the first time, and they watched them leave behind.
"Father!" Zhao Yun, Zhao Yuan's child, still didn't understand what happened, as usual, he wanted to rush out to hug his father, but was held back by the people behind him.
Zhao Yuan pulled out a smile and said: "You have to be obedient, dad will be back soon."
The child nodded ignorantly, and made a request as usual: "Father, I want malt candy!!"
Zhao Yuan said happily, "Okay, Dad will bring you a lot of maltose. Don't be greedy."
Instead, the child urged: "That's okay... Dad, hurry up and bring me maltose..."
Song Ruyu looked at him without saying a word. Zhao Yuan rode his horse and turned his back. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant. The horse moves forward, as if not giving himself a chance to turn back.
Just two days ago, after Song Ruyu and Gu Xianshu explained their decision to the people in the cottage, the people in the cottage were excited for the first time. Some people chose to continue walking with Feima Village, but naturally some were hesitant to leave.
Song Ruyu even prepared a little money for them to go down the mountain to find another way out. Those who want to leave can only leave within these two days. If they don't leave, then those who stay must prepare to leave in two days.
The time of departure was Shenshi, the sky was just dawn, everything was asleep, and there was an empty space in front of the village.
Song Ruyu and Gu Xianshu got up early in the morning and came here. What they didn't expect was that, except for the people who chose to stay that day, they thought they could only see them, except for the strong men who stayed behind in the village, all of them gathered in front of the village entrance!
Even Zhao Yuan, who initially planned to stop being a bandit after a while, was among them, with cloth strips wrapped around his hands, and he was saying to him: "Master, you have to hurry up, if it's all dawn, The group of women and children in the village woke up. It's very troublesome."
But while they were talking, the person who thought they were sleeping had actually arrived at Zhaikou, but there was no usual noise, and they kept watching them leave until they were nowhere to be seen.
This farewell, they all know what it means.
Some of these people will definitely not come back.
No one wants to think too much, so they can only ride the horse and keep going forward.
Seeing the sun rising from the sky and shining on my body, all negative emotions were driven away, and new hope was ignited in my heart again.
After the group of them finally walked out of the mountain road of White Camel Mountain, they began to part ways.
Gu Xianshu said: "You are going to Qingzhou, which is more dangerous than us. As long as we pretend to go there, there is probably no big problem, so you should be careful along the way." Then he said to Song Ruyu: "Ruyu, don't be impulsive."
Song Ruyu was dissatisfied, he always felt that he was brave and resourceful, and said: "I have my own sense of propriety. I have taken them with me for so many years, isn't it all right?"
Gu Xianshu pointed to the unhealed wounds of some bandits, and said, "Those wounds that shouldn't have happened are because of you."
Song Ruyu pointed at Qi Muye and Fan Yizhi, disregarding their relationship: "That's what they did, you should scold them."
It is naturally impossible for Gu Xianshu to scold Qi Muye and Fan Yizhi. Although these two are the perpetrators, since they are currently in a cooperative relationship, he can only teach Song Ruyu a lesson.
Looking at the people present, Gu Xianshu sighed, finally turned to Li Yao, and said, "He seems to be able to listen to you, remember to remind him not to let his head get hot." Then he said to Song Ruyu, "No more Before you get impulsive, ask Li Yao first."
Facing Gu Xianshu's words like asking Gu, Song Ruyu refused: "I naturally do things by myself..."
"Okay." Li Yao agreed straightforwardly. Before doing it, Li Yao would be too troublesome to do it, but after thinking about it, it seems that it would be more troublesome to let it go. Anyway, if Song Ruyu doesn't listen to him, just give him another beating. .
Hearing that Li Yao agreed, Song Ruyu was still a little stunned, but still refused, his self-esteem did not allow him to do this, especially when facing Li Yao.
There is always an inexplicable discomfort in his heart that his wife is strict.
Gu Xianshu rode his horse to his side, and whispered calmly: "In this way, Li Yao will pay attention to your words and deeds all day long."
It has to be said that Gu Xianshu really grew up with Song Ruyu, and he has always known the truth of hitting a snake with seven inches.
Song Ruyu thought for a while, swallowed the words of refusal, and silently accepted this approach.He even glanced at Li Yao, Li Yao looked back at him, and he immediately looked away.
Song Ruyu pretended to be reluctant and said: "Okay then..."
And Li Yao listened to their conversation the whole way, and pretended not to hear it. In fact, he didn't understand it, so he didn't respond at all.
Fan Yizhi said goodbye to Li Yao and Qi Muye briefly. When his eyes swept over Li Yao, he thought of Li Yao's mother who gave him everything when he was in Yizhou, so he said: "If possible, I will watch it for you. Look at your mother."
Li Yao also said, "Okay."
After all, the record of family affection is also considered as an additional task content. Except that the woman loves to cry a little, it will be fine after he gets used to it. If it is to record family affection, it would be better for her not to die.
"When you found General Lian, remember to send the letter to Qingzhou." Qi Muye ordered the two of them again, and finally could only say: "Treasure."
