Chapter 126 The Empress Dowager Who Died for the Country Part 5
Chapter 126 The heroine Di Ji who died for her country (5)
Finally, nothing happened on the way back, and the group arrived at Pingguan smoothly.
The city wall of Pingguan is very high, with a thin layer of sand blown up by the wind. It looks a bit old, and the flags were blown gray in the wind. However, the suspension bridge above it looks brand new.
It seemed to have been renovated recently, and it still exuded a strong woody fragrance.
Someone in the team stepped forward and shouted to the defenders on the tower: "We are back, let's release the drawbridge quickly!"
The people on the tower squinted and looked down to make sure they were among their own people and the reinforcements who had just helped repel the Huns. Then they walked over, held the wheel, and lowered the suspension bridge with a creaking sound. At the same time, they opened the city gate.
Open.
The horse's hooves stepped on the wooden suspension bridge, making a "dong-dong" sound.
Because Li Mo didn't make a sound all the way in the carriage, Lin Zhen was worried that something was wrong with him. He rode up to the carriage and lifted the curtain to take a look at Li Mo's condition.
Li Mo, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, felt the car curtain being lifted and opened his eyes to look over: "...Di Ji?"
"Did I wake you up?" Lin Zhen glanced at Li Mo for a while, guessing that he should feel a little better now, and said, "We have reached Pingguan."
Li Mo looked at her and opened his mouth hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something.
Lin Zhen quickly interrupted him: "If you have anything to do, wait until you recover from your injuries before we talk about it."
She put down the car curtain in her hand, holding back everything Li Mo wanted to say, and then rode forward with the team: "Where is the military doctor? Come on, carry your general in quickly!"
Although they didn't know why she was able to order people so skillfully, everyone still helped Li Mo out of the carriage as instructed, and together with the remaining wounded soldiers, they were ready to take them to the military doctor for treatment.
.
Li Mo seemed to turn around and wanted to say something. Lin Zhen met his gaze, smiled and waved to him, without crossing the line and following Li Mo's men.
Behind Lin Zhen, the attendants who had followed Jiang Wei all the way from the capital stood there with their heads bowed cautiously. The familiar maid asked softly: "Your Highness, I don't know where to put these money and food utensils?"
This is because she is worried that she has nowhere to gain a foothold here, and it is not convenient for her to say it clearly, so she can only ask tactfully.
Lin Zhen didn't hear the convoluted meaning in it, so she said "Oh" and said, "Wait a minute."
She had to see what Li Mo's plans were first. If possible, she really wanted to recruit Li Mo to help him work.
Lin Zhen watched Li Mo wave his hand to summon someone from a distance and whispered a few words next to him.
What are you talking about? "Mr. Feng, I have no intention of trying to figure out what the Emperor Ji's purpose is in coming to Pingguan. I would like you to entertain me for a while. You must not neglect it. Otherwise, you can act according to your circumstances."
The man leaned towards Li Mo and said "yes".
Lin Zhen couldn't help but coughed awkwardly and turned his attention elsewhere: Ahem, this, the sound is a bit too obvious, I didn't mean to hear it...
Then, the man with a short beard dressed as a middle-aged scribe followed Li Mo's instructions and walked over from the crowd and saluted Lin Zhen: "Emperor Ji."
Lin Zhenzhen realized that Li Mo probably sent this person to test her and monitor her, right? She didn't like doing these twists and turns, and she didn't like being watched, so she could only...
Lin Zhen said "Sorry" to the middle-aged scribe in his heart, stretched out his hand to help him up: "Mr. Feng, there is no need to be polite."
Feng Yue was suddenly shocked, but he was still very calm. No matter how turbulent his heart was, he still had a gentle and courteous look on his face: "The villain has never told Di Ji his name. I don't know where Di Ji came from.
Where do you know?"
Lin Zhen felt that this man was really calm. She smiled and pointed at the back of the people in Pingguan who were surrounding Li Mo as he left, and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "I just heard General Li call you Mr. Feng. Yes.
Did I hear wrongly?"
But didn’t the general whisper in my ear just now? There must have been a hundred steps or so in between, and you heard it all? Even if you heard it, you still said it, was it intentional?
Feng Yue felt that the smile on his face was almost unbearable: the general asked him to act according to the circumstances, how could he act according to the circumstances? He already knew everything!
He could only force a slightly bitter smile: "Yes, Di Ji heard it right. The villain's surname is indeed Feng."
"Mr. Feng." Lin Zhen deliberately called out again and said, "I brought some things, but I don't know where to put them?"
"There is also a house with three entrances in the city. If the emperor doesn't dislike it, she can ask the attendants to rest here temporarily." Finally skipping the dangerous topic, Feng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly recommended Lin Zhen enthusiastically, saying, "
Shall I take Di Ji to have a look?"
Lin Zhen nodded unceremoniously: "Okay, thank you very much."
Feng Yue did not ride a horse, so Lin Zhen also got off his horse and led the bay-red horse slowly through the streets of the city.
There didn't seem to be many people on the street, and the street seemed a little deserted.
Sensing Lin Zhen's confused look, Feng Yue explained to her: "When the Xiongnu were raging, this place was massacred by the Xiongnu. Now it has just been recovered, and it is difficult to restore it to its original state for a while, so there are only a few people on the street."
Lin Zhen nodded: "That's it."
After chatting for a while, the house Feng Yue mentioned appeared in front of several people.
This house looks quite spacious, and the house next door is Li Mo's house. After seeing this layout, Lin Zhen couldn't help but look at Feng Yue with a strange look: Let her live directly next door to Li Mo? So relieved?
? If she had any evil intentions, Li Mo would die seventy or eighty times.
Feng Yue stroked his short beard and said: "There is only this kind of residence in a small border town, so I have no choice but to live here temporarily."
"No, isn't this good?" Lin Zhen was very satisfied with this place, especially the excellent location. She thanked Feng Yue again and again, "Thank you very much, Mr. Feng."
Feng Yue repeatedly raised his hand: "Di Ji, you're welcome. If anything happens to Di Ji, you can send someone to the fifteenth house in West Lane to look for me."
"Okay, Mr. Feng, walk slowly."
Feng Yue did not dare to stay longer, so he quickly ran to the military camp and waited with everyone else for the military doctor to treat Li Mo's injury.
The maids looked at Lin Zhen worriedly: "Your Highness..."
I'm afraid this is not a long-term place.
Lin Zhen looked at them with confusion: "What's wrong? Isn't there a place to put things? Quickly unload all the things in the car and put them away!"
