Chapter 158 Fishing in troubled waters
Loufan Wangting was slaughtering cattle and sheep at this time, preparing for a bonfire party.
The Hu people in the grassland are not like those in the Central Plains. They wear gorgeous clothes and live in the Huaxia, so there is not much attention to the wedding. Even if it is a great event like Lou Fan, they just gather the tribe members, light a long bonfire, and then men and women dance around the bonfire and sing, and the wedding is completed.
However, King Lou Fan changed into the clothes of the people of the Central Plains on the suggestion that Uncle Gong said.
At this moment, King Lou Fan, who had changed into Central Plains clothing, walked out of the dome tent like a traitor, surrounded by Shifan Lou Fan generals. Hearing the noise outside the tent just now, King Lou Fan thought that the people who were welcoming the bride had returned. Calculate the time, and the people who went to Jiuyuan to welcome the bride should come back.
But when Lou Fanwang came out of the account, it was completely different.
The people who went to meet the bride disappeared, and only Fan Baican cavalry escaped!
"What's going on?" King Lou Fan frowned and shouted loudly, "Where is the princess?"
"King, we are fooled by the old Qin people!" A general of the Louzhou who went to meet the bride turned over and dismounted. He knelt down at the foot of the Loufan King and said tragically, "On the way back to the royal court, we were ambushed by the old Qin people, and nearly a thousand people were lost. His Royal Highness the Princess was also robbed back by the old Qin people."
"What did you say?" Lou Fan Wang Bo changed his sarcastic expression, "Is the princess snatched back by the old Qin people?"
Uncle Gong said that it was a slight sign and changed his mind: "King, this matter is a bit strange. I think it should not be done by the old Qin people."
"Military advisor, it's right for the old Qin people!" The leader of Lou Fu shouted, "They were all covered with scale armor and holding Qin crossbows in their hands. They were the kind of Qin crossbows that could shoot well in a hundred steps and within fifty steps! I see it really, they were definitely the old Qin people. Who else could wear scale armor and hold Qin crossbows except the old Qin people?!"
"Qin Crossbow?" King Lou Fu said viciously, "That should be the old Qin people."
Uncle Gong was silent, and Qin crossbow was a powerful weapon on the battlefield. The old Qin people strictly controlled the outflow and had Qin crossbows. It seemed that they were really old Qin people.
"I must kill all these old Qin people who are untrustworthy!" King Lou Fan immediately returned to the tent, and then copied out the golden arrows of Fan from it, and handed them to his close servants, "Hold my golden arrows to immediately summon the horse teams of various tribes, and then quickly notify King Aries and King Lin Hu, and ask them to join forces to attack Jiuyuan!"
.............
In the unknown depths of the desert, bonfires were also lit.
Five hundred Chu soldiers were drinking the water and wine in the sheepskin bag around the bonfire, and gnawing on the fat lamb legs that were greasy. Princess Yingzhen, who was sitting by the fire, had no appetite. Until this moment, she didn't know what was going on? She didn't know who the people who robbed the bride were?
"Sister Princess, please eat some too?" Baili Yishui sat next to Ying Zhen at some point, and she was carrying a piece of roasted golden lamb leg meat on the short knife in her hand.
"Little sister, do you know these people?" Ying Zhen asked in a low voice.
As early as when Ying Zhen was kidnapped by this group of people, she found that Baili Yishui didn't seem to be worried at all. Now the group of people is even unsuspecting to Baili Yishui. They don't say that they can walk around with her own freedom, and even allow her to carry a knife. Ying Zhen Bingxue is smart and guessed that Baili Yishui and this group must know each other.
Baili Yishui did not answer, but just begged Ying Zhen and said, "Sister Princess, you just eat something, right?"
Since being kidnapped by the Chu army at noon, Ying Zhen has not been touched and has not eaten anything. Baili Yishui is really worried that Ying Zhen will get sick after starvation, because Ying Zhen is not like her, she is a martial arts practitioner and is very weak.
"If you don't say that your sister won't eat it, just starve to death." Ying Zhen turned his head away stubbornly.
When Baili Yishui was in a dilemma, a majestic figure suddenly strode to the two of them.
Baili Yishui stood up and was about to greet the man, but the man reached out to stop him.
"Don't eat? Hunger strike? Want to die?" The man stared at Ying Zhen with sharp eyes. Suddenly, he pulled out a dagger from the boot and threw it in front of Ying Zhen. He said coldly, "There is no need to go on a hunger strike like this. Pick up this knife and wipe it casually on your neck. Everything will be over, your life and your destiny.
Ying Zhen did not pick up the dagger, but just looked up at the man.
Perhaps because of looking up, the man looked extremely tall, like a towering mountain. He just stood there casually, but Ying Zhen clearly felt a strong momentum, a momentum that looked down on the world. When she was still young, she had felt this momentum from her father more than once.
This man actually has the powerful aura of his father. Who is he?
The man suddenly grinned, but the corners of his mouth clearly showed a cold murderous intent, and he said coldly: "If you want to die, just use that short knife to commit suicide. If you don't want to die, then eat something to feed your stomach. On the next journey, no one will help you leave and you can't ride a horse. Then stay in the desert to feed the wild wolf."
After that, the man turned around and blamed him, but Ying Zhen felt a moment of loss of consciousness
Baili Yishui handed the roasted lamb leg meat to Ying Zhen again and said softly: "Sister Princess, let's eat it?"
Ying Zhen silently took the lamb leg meat, took a small bite and asked again: "Little sister, who is this person?"
Baili Yishui said in a little embarrassedly: "Sister Princess, brother won't let me tell you, but at most you will know all the truth after Fantian." After saying this, Baili Yishui said happily again, "And no matter what, Princess Sister, you don't have to marry that slutty and dirty Loufan King again, right?"
Ying Zhen sighed quietly, she knew that she would not be able to ask anything else.
....................................................
In Jiuyuan, the night is getting dark.
On the top of the city, a pine torch was inserted diagonally every ten steps. Although the faint firelight was not enough to illuminate the outside of the city, it was enough to illuminate the entire city. Among the flashing firelight, two whistlemen were watching at night. In the distance, a group of seven patrolmen were lined up in an orderly manner and drove towards this side in neat steps.
Although the Hu people had retreated to rescue the siege, the old Qin people were not careless at all.
A whistleman walked to the basin and lifted his battle robe and looked out of the city. When he was vaguely looking at the corner of his eyes, he seemed to see a little fire. He turned his head and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he saw a little fire jumping out like a ghostly under the northern night sky. The whistleman was a little unbelievable, and rubbed his eyes hard again, but the light seemed to be brighter.
In less than a moment, the fire turned into two points, and then at four points. When another whistleman and the patrolman passing by the city were attracted, a large fire had appeared under the northern night sky. In the flashing flames, you could vaguely hear the sound of a horse neighing. Hu people, Hu people!
"Hu people, damn it, it's Hu people!" The patrolman Shi Chang immediately took a breath of air conditioning, and then hissed and howled, "Hu people attacked the city, blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet quickly to warn..."
In an instant, the short sound of the horns had soared into the sky.
................
When the trumpet rang, Meng Feng was not asleep yet and was still reading in the study.
At that moment, Meng Fengyu stood up and hurriedly put on his clothes. He led dozens of personal soldiers to the north city. When Meng Fengyu brought his personal soldiers to the enemy tower in the north city, countless Hu cavalry had already rushed to the outside of Jiuyuan City like a torch. With the bright light of daylight, Meng Fengyu found that the Hu people outside the city were actually annoying!
"Lou is annoying?" Meng Fengyu couldn't help frowning.
What is Lou Fan going to do? The princess just got married to him. On this wedding night, he didn't stay in the royal court to accompany His Highness the princess, but raised an army to Jiuyuan. Also, come here, why do you bring so many Hu cavalry? Look at the situation outside the city, Lou Fan probably brought all the 30,000 strong men from the Lou Fan tribe?
Could it be that King Lou Fan wants to take advantage of this time to sneak attack Jiuyuan?
The idea is pretty good, but unfortunately, the old Qin people would never make such a mistake.
Meng Feng shouted: "I will order the whole city to be martial law, and all juntas are strengthened to prevent Hu people and spies from sneak attacking the city gate!"
Previously, due to Princess Yingzhen's marriage, many Hu people took the opportunity to enter Jiuyuan City. Now the old Qin people are not at ease with searching for these Hu people for the time being, so they can only implement martial law first and then strengthen the garrison of each city gate.
.............
Inn, Baili Xian, Yu Yuan listened to the movements on the street outside the window.
Not long ago, the two of them had just been awakened by a horn sound.
Soon, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the street outside, and a loud voice rang out: "General Meng has an order. From now on, the whole city will be martial law. Everyone will stay in the house obediently. No one is allowed to go out on the street without authorization. If you listen, no one is allowed to go out on the street. Those who violate the order... will be killed immediately without forgiveness!"
Yuzumi, who was about to go out for inspection, sat back on the table and frowned and said, "It's so amazing, why is it martial law?"
Bailixian shook the feather fan and said lightly: "It's probably because the general has already succeeded. King Lou Fu was so angry that he led Lou Fu's army to attack Jiuyuan, haha."
Yuyuan said: "You mean, the general has succeeded?"
"It's probably like this." Bailixian smiled and said, "Lou Fan King's good things have come to an end, but Meng Feng was hard to tell. The melee between the old Qin and Lou Fanren is probably inevitable. In the melee, the Aries and Lin Hu people will definitely be involved. In this way, even if the water in Jiuyuan is completely messed up, the next thing I see is the general's fishing in troubled waters."
Yuyuan grinned and said grinning: "Brother Baili, you have already made the water in Jiuyuan so messy. The general should touch a big fish. It is best to be annoying to the Hetao Tower, Aries and Lin Hu people. In this way, with the old Qin people in Jiuyuan City, you can almost gain a foothold in Hetao, right?"
"List the way to Hetao?" Bailixian shook his feather fan and said, "No, Hetao is dead, it's not worth taking. The general will eventually fight back to Jiangdong."
