Snowflakes were falling from the sky, and the crackling of torches could be heard from time to time in the camp, and snoring could be heard one after another. Except for the patrolling soldiers, most of the others were fast asleep.
It was pitch dark inside Su Ziji's tent, but Su Ziji did not fall asleep. Instead, he stayed at the entrance of the tent for a moment, then raised the curtain and walked out of the tent. He stepped on the fresh snow with his feet and slowly walked around the tent.
, stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes again, thoughtfully, thinking about what happened during the day.
"Why would Mu Sang target me like this?" he thought.
"Could it be that someone really leaked my plan?"
"Or is it because my identity as the so-called prince's bloodline was exposed, and people from the two kings of Qi and Shu intervened?"
"Or maybe it's a follow-up to Dragon Palace, and the monsters know that I'm involved?"
In fact, all of these are possible. Su Ziji was not sure which reason it was. He couldn't help but sighed, stroked the fox, and whispered: "Xiaobai, tell me, which reason is it?"
The little fox was lying on his side. After hearing the question, he only flicked his tail. But just then, he heard an eagle cry from the sky. The little fox immediately stood up angrily and pointed at the sky with his little paws: "
Chirp, chirp!"
This is a complaint.
Originally, Su Ziji would have made fun of it, but now he was sullen.
"With the participation of the demon clan, many things are different from the original world. If nothing else, this eagle patrol can gain insight into the movements of the army, and can even transmit intelligence and information."
"I heard that the royal family has a special messenger eagle, but official documents are important matters and I'm afraid of people tampering with them, so I don't use this channel unless it's urgent."
Su Ziji caught the little fox, stroked his fur, and was thinking deeply. Suddenly, his ears moved, there were footsteps, and then someone outside the tent suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Is Mr. Su sleeping? I need to see you for something!"
He came here early in the morning to ask for a meeting. If it were anyone else, he would probably be wary or call someone. Su Ziji was silent for a moment and glanced at the little fox.
The little fox immediately jumped down and hid in the hole.
Then he replied: "Come in."
A soldier with a low eyebrow came in from outside, but as soon as Su Ziji saw it, he knew that this soldier was an outsider in disguise. Without it, his clothes did not fit him and his temperament did not match his appearance.
"Are you a businessman? Who sent you to copycat?" Su Ziji raised his eyebrows and asked.
This man had a friendly appearance and spoke very openly: "Yes, I am a businessman, and I am meeting with you on the order of Lady Sang."
"Sang Nu?" Su Ziji did not expect to hear such a name from his mouth...or rather, the names of a group of people.
According to the information I read, there is an appendix that records that one hundred and seventy villages in the southwest believe in many gods, one of which is Emperor Sang.
It is said that she is the daughter of an ancient god, who can bear the sun and control the wind and rain. Therefore, her high priests are all women, and they are all named Sangnu.
This is the name of the high priests of all ages. Regardless of whether she was called this name before, when she becomes the high priest, she will be named Sang Nu.
Su Ziji stared at the visitor and said calmly, "I didn't know that Sang Nu knew a little person like me and even sent someone here."
From this point of view, she was plotted by Mu Sang before, and Sang Nu may also know about it, or she may be the manipulator behind it.
The businessman hurriedly said: "How can you be considered a nobody? This time Sang Nu sent me here in the hope that you can intercede for Master Mu Sang. As long as you can help me, our village will always regard you as our best friend!"
Su Ziji almost laughed angrily. Did he lack friends like them? And he was almost tricked by Mu Sang?
Could it be that these people still think that they don’t know that Mu Sang wants to kill them?
Seeing that he looked wrong, the businessman quickly said: "There may have been some misunderstandings before, and we will compensate you. As long as you seriously talk to our people..."
"Let's talk about it. It's not impossible." Su Ziji refused very coldly. Seeing what he wanted to say, he stopped him directly: "You sang girls don't even come, so how can you be sincere?"
The businessman choked and heard Su Ziji's meaningful voice: "I won't step outside the military camp. If you want to talk to me, just come to the military camp!"
When the time comes, capture her. If Mu Sang cannot be killed, kill her first.
Listening to the voice, the businessman immediately understood that Su Ziji was very alert. He sighed: "Mr. Su, it's not what you think. We don't mean any harm."
"You will know later... Alas, I have to leave first." Seeing that an inspection team was coming, this man had to leave first.
Watching him go away, Su Ziji thought thoughtfully: "Are there people from the stronghold in the army?"
Otherwise, it would be so easy to blend in.
"Now, it depends on the imperial edict. With the imperial edict, Southwest can be dealt with."
This imperial edict came very quickly and arrived in the southwest on the fifth day. When Su Ziji learned about it, he was feeding the little fox. After hearing this, a gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver slightly.
As soon as I stepped out of the tent these days, I could clearly feel that there were more than one group of people staring at me. Although I should have gotten used to this feeling in the past, this time I could feel the obvious murderous intent. There was no need to take risks at this juncture, so I simply reduced it.
When we go out, we mostly stay in tents.
The little fox went out occasionally in the past few days, but came back soon. From it, Su Ziji also learned that the eagle that was chasing it had not been encountered during these brief outings.
But Su Ziji still felt uneasy.
"Even so, you should be careful. Stay in the cave first and wait until you leave the southwest."
"Chirp!" The little fox nodded to express his understanding.
Seeing that it was showing signs of hibernating and gaining weight these days, and it was visible to the naked eye that it had gained weight, Su Ziji did not dare to say anything, for fear of offending this little guy who loves beauty.
Just as he was watching it eat the last chicken leg, Sun Baihu's voice came from outside.
"Mr. Su, my father-in-law is going to read out the imperial edict from the front. Please come over too."
"Stay there, don't run around today." After tapping the little fox with his hand, Su Ziji got up and went out.
Jian Qu, who originally came to see him, only came to see him secretly in the past few days, and then hid, presumably because he was worried that if he approached in advance, he would be killed.
As for Qin Mao, with Qin Fengliang, that old fox, it was impossible for him to get too close to him. Su Ziji actually missed the days when he was always harassed by Shao Sisen.
But in the past two days, Shao Sisen obviously had a serious fever. He went out just to visit Shao Sisen.
"It's a pity that he can't come out to watch such a lively scene." Su Ziji walked along and found that many people were rushing in the same direction.
By the time he arrived in front of the imperial envoy's tent, Cui Zhaoquan had already led a group of high-ranking officials. In front of the incense table, a group of people were kneeling under the surveillance of armored soldiers. They were all dressed similarly to Mu Sang who came to the camp. He thought that he must have surrendered.
The owner of the cottage.
Su Ziji made a rough calculation and found that there were about fifty people. Thinking that it was the fifty-seven cottages that had surrendered before, they should all be here.
Just thinking about it, he saw Supervisor Zhao solemnly holding the imperial edict covered with yellow silk in both hands and walking to the top of the incense table and standing on the south side. As soon as he stood still, he saw Cui Zhaoquan, Qian Zhidong, Qin Fengliang and others kneeling on the ground and bowing: "I am waiting for you.
Regards Holy Ann!”
"Holy greetings!" Supervisor Zhao replied loudly: "There is a will!"
