humble minister

After listening to the conversation of the people at that table, Yao Li found that Lian Ying's journey seemed more eager than before, and even though his face was calm and calm, there was a trace of anxiety in his brows that could not be mistaken.

"You don't have to rush on the road in such a hurry. The legends about Shi Yu that you have heard along the way show that this man does not die so easily. You don't need to hurry, it doesn't matter to your body whether you are worried or anxious. Not good." After holding back for a few days, Yao Li couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately grabbed the whip from Lian Ying's hand.This man is also true, I just taught him to drive a carriage not long ago, and now he is driving the carriage so desperately himself.

Even Ying lost the horsewhip in his hand, he was not angry, he knew that he had been too anxious these few days, but the anxiety was not without reason, and it was not all because of worrying about Shi Yu's safety.

Taking a deep breath and finally calming down, Lian Ying looked at Yao Li and explained, "Do you think that I am in such a hurry just because I am worried about Shi Yu?"

Yao Li just wanted to reply "Isn't it?", but seeing Lian Ying's serious expression, he couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to miss something?

Seeing his puzzled look, Lian Ying said, "Do you still remember that day when that person said that the trapping of the border guard king was a military secret?"

"Of course I remember." Yao Li nodded repeatedly, then seemed to think of something, opened her eyes wide, and murmured: "Are you worried..."

"That's right. Compared to Shi Yu's safety, I'm more worried about the possibility that the enemy's secret operations have already been made in the northern border. Otherwise, how would such important military secrets be leaked? What's more important is the current frontier defense. The morale of our army must have dropped when the king was trapped. Now there are still people with intentions spreading the news on purpose. Doesn’t it make everyone in the city panic? The morale of our place is already low before the enemy army officially launches an attack. This battle How can we continue the fight?" Lian Ying slowly closed his eyes and said in a sad tone, "In any case, I have to rush to the Northern Dynasty barracks as soon as possible, and it would be good to know the inside story earlier. Of course, it is best for Shi Yu and him I can stand out from the encirclement."

Hearing what he said, Yao Li felt a sense of family and country consciousness and nervousness, but he didn't return the whip in his hand to Lian Ying, but said: "Even so, you have to pay attention to your health, I'll catch this car, You go in and rest."

Seeing his determination, even Ying knew he couldn't resist him, so she obediently went into the car to rest.Anyway, it would be the same if he came to replace Yao Li after he had a rest, it might be faster for the two of them to take turns driving the car.

Traveling quickly all the way, when the two finally arrived at the Beichao military camp, more than half a month had passed since the half-year agreement between Lian Ying and Shi Yu.

At first, Lian Ying was very worried about how to enter the barracks, but after he reported his name, he was politely taken directly to the commander's tent by the soldiers on guard.

In the commander's tent, Lian Ying and Yao Li looked at the layout of the barracks while waiting for someone to come.The soldier who brought the two of them earlier told them to wait here, and he went to report to his superiors, and someone would come soon.

After a while, I heard a hearty laughter coming from the door of the tent, and then the curtain was lifted, and two people came in one after the other.

The person walking in front was dressed as a military general, even though he was wearing armor, he could feel his strong and muscular figure, and it was this powerful general with sword eyebrows and stars who laughed heartily.Following behind the general was a young man in civilian clothes dressed as a scholar and scholar. The young man was gentle and elegant, and he was shaking a feather fan in his hand. Kind of characters no doubt.

"Haha, isn't this the young master Tingyun that the lord once mentioned to us?" The general smiled and walked towards Yao Li, and wanted to reach out to pat Yao Li's shoulder, but was blocked by the young man in civilian clothes with a fan on the way. Then I saw him turn to Lian Ying, made a bow, and said with a little smile: "I'm Li Qing, and I pay my respects to Mr. Ting Yun."

"Mr. Li, you are too polite, Lian Ying can't afford to take care of you." Lian Ying missed his body and didn't accept his gift. Instead, he declared his real name. Anyway, from now on, the people here are really his own family.

The military commander was not embarrassed when he saw that he had misidentified the person, he just smiled "hehe" and said to Yao Li, "I'm sorry, sir, I misidentified the person just now, I don't know who this young master is?"

After saying this, he looked at Lian Ying. Li Qing also noticed that although Li Qing squinted his eyes and smiled, he obviously cared about Yao Li's identity. I don't worry about outsiders, this general is also a rough and thin person, I'm afraid I got the courtesy of the two of them because I was mentioned by Shi Yu.

"This is my friend who is traveling with me—Young Master Yaoli." Lian Ying emphasized on the words "friend" and "Yaoli", but when he saw the expressions of the two people on the opposite side changed slightly, they let down a little bit of guard.In fact, Lian Ying is also very curious about why the two people on the opposite side can confirm that he is Mr. Tingyun, but he won't ask too much, what if he becomes suspicious after asking, isn't it just shooting himself in the foot? ?

After the introduction of the four, Lian Yingcai really knew the identities of the two people in front of him. What surprised him was that they were both from the Jianghu, and they were not well-known in the Jianghu. People have the feeling that they are superhuman beings.

The young man who called himself "Li Qing" did serve as a military adviser, and the military commander was named "Jiang Chongzheng". He is currently the deputy general of the Shenxing Army under the personal command of Shi Yu, and he can also take the post of commander when Shi Yu is not around.It can be seen from this that these two people are Shi Yu's confidant generals.

"At first, I thought Mr. Lian would not come again, but I didn't expect to arrive at this critical moment." Li Qing waved the feather fan, which was quite pretentious in this winter.

Even Ying heard his ridicule, but also heard two things - one is that Shi Yu told the two of them about the half-year agreement with him; the other is that Shi Yu is indeed in danger now, The "moment of truth" has come.

"Please trouble Junjun Li to tell us the specific situation." Lian Ying was a little anxious, so he asked directly.

Li Qing also put away his feather fan at this time, with a rare serious look on his face: "This starts with the rebellion of the Northern Qiang clan..."

Immediately afterwards Lian Ying listened to Li Qing explain the ins and outs clearly.

It turned out that one month ago, the Northern Qiang clan suddenly raised their troops for unknown reasons in an attempt to break away from the control of the Northern Dynasty and build a new country by themselves.When this incident spread to the court, the new emperor was furious, and he named Shi Yu, the border king, the "General of Pingbei", and ordered him to lead his troops to repel the Northern Qiang clan quickly, and to promote our prestige in the Northern Dynasty.To put it bluntly, this purpose is to let Shi Yu lead the troops to scare the Northern Qiang people, so that they can no longer have a rebellious heart.

Therefore, one month ago, the two armies started a war in Cangwu City, a border city in the north.In the past month, the fighting has been fierce. Originally, Shi Yu was able to repel the enemy, but when the battle line reached the border of Cangwu City - Misty Ridge, because the other party had a Northern Qiang witch, the situation was very difficult. Completely froze.

"Then who is the sorcerer of the Northern Qiang who can control the entire battle situation?" Li Qing couldn't help asking Li Qing when he heard the shaman of the Northern Qiang.

Li Qing and Jiang Chongzheng glanced at each other, with helplessness and fear in their eyes, but Jiang Chongzheng took up the conversation and said: "At first we didn't pay much attention to the Northern Qiang shaman, and felt that the gods and ghosts Things should not be trusted, but until they arrived at Miwu Ridge. Miwu Ridge got its name because of the mist. It was not a place conducive to fighting, and at that time the prince also felt that the northern Qiang clan might have an ambush arrangement to lead the battle line here, so for a while Don’t dare to enter that Misty Ridge easily.”

"It's just that if you don't enter the Miwu Ridge, how can you capture the Northern Qiang army on the other side of the Miwu Ridge? Besides, the emperor's original intention is to let the prince to fight quickly, so delaying it like this is not the way, not to mention the Han family in the court. Fanning the dark wind behind the back and lighting the will-o'-the-wisp, there is a great possibility that the prince will be in collusion with the other party if he does not attack. After this, the prince will have to find a way to get through the Misty Ridge quickly before he can launch an attack." Li Qing took Jiang with a blank expression. Said the unfinished words of Chongzheng.

"Hmph, let me tell you, if it wasn't for the villain of the Han family who was acting upwards, the prince would not have marched into the Misty Ridge five days ago knowing that there was a ghost, and he would not be trapped in the Misty Ridge at this time like now. Middle." Jiang Chongzheng spat, with resentment on his face, as if the Han family would smash them to pieces if they were here.

Although Lian Ying understood their resentment, these words really went astray.

Just when Lian Ying couldn't help reminding the two of them to get back to the topic, Li Qing glanced at him, calmed down and said: "Actually, the prince sent spies to investigate in the mountains before, but those spies were either He never returned, or he dragged his life and came back already stupid, full of nonsense, and didn't know what was going on in the mountains. So after that, it gradually spread in the army that the Northern Qiang witches will be witches. Shu Yi said that gradually, many people began to panic. Therefore, the prince felt that it would be better to lead the troops into Misty Ridge as soon as possible instead of polishing the fighting spirit and vigor of the soldiers due to waiting and fear. Therefore, five days ago, the prince took the lead in marching to explore Enter Misty Ridge, but leave the two of us in the army to stabilize the whole army."

Speaking of this, Li Qing paused, his eyes full of deep meaning wandered back and forth a few times on Lian Ying, and then continued: "The night before entering Misty Ridge, the lord called me to talk with Chongzheng in the account, saying The most important thing is the half-year agreement with the young master. In fact, more than half a month has passed since the appointment between the prince and the young master. Chongzheng and I don't think the young master can keep the promise, but the prince only said two words ..."

Li Qing stopped talking and looked at Lian Ying fixedly, not missing the slightest change of expression on his face, but what frustrates him is that the other party still has a flat expression and doesn't say a word, so he can only say for fun: "My lord only said the word 'I believe', and then ordered the two of us to continue to explore Misty Ridge while waiting for the young master to come. If the young master comes, let us inform the young master about the matter here, and talk to the young master. Make a plan. Fortunately, we finally got the son."

Lian Ying didn't care about the slight ridicule and blame in his words, what he cared about was the words "I believe" Shi Yu said.In fact, he should have expected that even if there is no love between him and Shi Yu, there is still trust. If this is the case, why should he ask for more?

"Since that's the case, then Lian Ying will definitely cooperate wholeheartedly with the two of you to solve the mystery of Misty Ridge." Lian Ying's expression was still calm, but he promised sincerely.

"Since Lian Ying wants to help you some kind of lord, that young master will naturally do his part." Yao Li glanced at Lian Ying, and quickly expressed his opinion. Guo Ying even smiled gratefully, and couldn't help but return a bright smile. That look... Hey, it's really a bit of a dog's leg.

Seeing the interaction between the two of them, Li Qing's eyes darkened, and before he could speak, he heard Jiang Chongzheng next to him bluffing: "That's a good relationship, with the help of the two of you, it will be even more powerful. The so-called 'witchcraft' cracked! Why don't we go to Misty Ridge now?"

Just as Jiang Chongzheng finished speaking, Li Qing knocked his head down with a feather fan, and then saw the dog-headed military master in his eyes roll his eyes, and said angrily: "Don't you look at what time it is now?" It's getting dark, what else are you looking at? It's better to let the two sons rest in the prince's main tent earlier, they are not reckless like you!"

Lian Ying and Lian Ying saw a very surprising scene - the white-faced scholar Li Qing effortlessly dragged the mighty eight-foot-long general toward the door, and the bad-tempered general was full of faces. Smiling, tell him something like "slow down, don't flinch", or something like "don't be angry, he just talks casually".

Seeing this scene, for some reason, Lian Ying felt a little sympathetic to Shi Yu. I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse to have such two subordinates who can still tease at critical moments...

This room Lian Ying was silently sympathizing with Shi Yu in his heart, and unexpectedly heard Li Qing whispering in his ear as he passed by him—

"The prince also said that it doesn't matter if you can't solve the mystery of Misty Ridge, the most important thing is the safety of your son..."

After talking about it, he chuckled meaningfully, watched Lian Ying's ear tips gradually turn red, and then dragged a strong man in his hand out of the main tent with satisfaction.

Lian Ying didn't move for a long time after they left, Li Qing's words seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

It turned out that Shi Yu was also concerned about him...

But no matter what, how can I let you take risks alone?and wait for me...
