Chapter 189 Return to Camp
Mo Ziyao's master and servant returned to the vicinity of the station of King Pingyi in the night. She did this mainly to see if King Pingyi would really transfer all his troops to Heling County.
The two stood on Lingyun Peak and looked at the Panwan below. They saw torches burning everywhere in Panwan. The scene in the camp was set against hundreds of torches, which was quite spectacular.
Those soldiers are busy, some are dismantling tents, some are loading carriages, and some have gathered in the center of the playground.
In a short time, they had already set up a team and trotted out. One of them holds a torch every five people. The long dragon composed of torches came out of the mountain depression and went all the way north.
Mo Ziyao watched quietly and secretly counted the number of people going on the expedition in the bottom of her heart. When it reached about 10,000 people, there was no one going north. At this moment, there was still a long line of soldiers in the station and did not rush to leave. They began to take off their armor and change into a strange armor that was not like what Ruan Nanguo should have.
"Isn't it the secret hand left by the King of Pingyi?" Mo Ziyao whispered.
At this time, the last team also moved, but they were no longer heading north, but on another road, the cliff between Shuzhou and Mingzhou. Mo Ziyao also counted, and there were more than 6,500 people.
Wanqiu suddenly broke the branch in front of him and said angrily, "King Pingyi is so bold that he dares to openly resist the decree! The emperor asked him to pull the camp to the north, but he dared to keep half of the people to ambush here. He really didn't know whether to live or die.
Mo Ziyao looked at her and sneered, "Who said that these soldiers were his men? Didn't you see them wearing exotic armor?"
Wanqiu sneered coldly: "Well, do you think you can cross the sea in this way? Dream!" Then he looked at Mo Ziyao and said, "Sure enough, as the mother expected, King Pingyi did not give up."
Mo Ziyao nodded, "Yes, there is no need to stay here. In late autumn, let's go back to the army behind the team of King Pingyi."
So Mo Ziyao hung far behind the team and left Shuzhou all the way into the hinterland of Mingzhou. At this time, the sky had begun to be a little bright. The team stopped to rest, and Mo Ziyao and others bypassed them and went straight to Heling County.
It hasn't been noon yet. They have passed Mingzhou. Mo Ziyao's inexplicable expectation and excitement, as if she could smell the smell of armor.
The two concentrate on their way. As they went forward, they suddenly heard a few "shudling" in the bushes. Before she could react, two soldiers rushed out with weapons and spears pointed straight at them and shouted, "Who?"
Mo Ziyao was shocked. Dingqing looked at it and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that the costume was a soldier of Ruan Nan's army.
Mo Ziyao looked down and remembered that they had lost their armor in the general for a long time. Now I'm wearing women's clothing. Because I want to go back to the camp quickly, I came all the way, and my clothes have long been dirty and ragged. Moreover, these people don't know themselves. Now even if they say they are Yaofei here, no one will believe it.
When the soldier saw that Mo Ziyao and the two of them didn't speak, he couldn't help urging impatiently: "This is a military place, and the idle people are leaving as soon as possible!" With that, he made up his way to drive away with the spear in his hand.
The spear was very close to Mo Ziyao. In late autumn, he opened his arms to protect Mo Ziyao and finally had to retreat.
"I'm not leaving yet!" The man shouted again and even poked the spear in his hand straight over.
Wanqiu couldn't stand it and suddenly jumped out and said angrily, "Bold, are you blind? This is the Empress Yao of the dynasty..."
"Late Autumn..." Mo Ziyao's face changed and immediately came up to stop her.
At this time, the two soldiers suddenly burst into laughter, as if they had heard a big joke. One of the soldiers looked at Mo Ziyao and Wanqiu with a smile and said, "The Empress Yao is sitting in the harem. How can she have time to come to this wilderness? I see, you know the emperor's personal expedition and want to come to ** the emperor, right?"
"You..." Wanqiu was dragged by Mo Ziyao at a mouth, and the other person also coaxed and said unscrupulously, "Haha, but to be honest, although I have never had the honor to meet you, I don't think you are as beautiful. Look at this face..." After his words fell, the two began to laugh presumptuously again.
At this time, several people were attracted by the movement here.
Mo Ziyao looked at them calmly, which was angry and funny. They actually thought they were coming...
"Hit!" Wanqiu broke free from Mo Ziyao's hand, took out a token from her sleeve and raised it to the top of her head, and scolded, "A group of bastards, open your dog's eyes and see clearly. What is this!"
She shouted, and the proud soldiers immediately became silent.
A man in gray armor in the distance was also shocked by the movement here. He also looked at Mo Ziyao and Wanqiu. When he saw the token, his face changed dramatically. He quickly ran over, stared at the token in Wanqiu's hand, and asked, "This is the token of the imperial leader! Do you dare to ask both of them?"
When the man appeared, the soldiers lowered their heads in their own manner. It seems that this person should be a leader.
Mo Ziyao looked at him and was not in a hurry to answer, but asked, "I don't know what the position of the general is in the army?"
Although Mo Ziyao asked a little unreasonable, the man still arched his hand and replied, "In Zhu Yan, he is a deputy general under Commander Huang."
"Oh, it turned out to be Deputy Commander Zhu."
Mo Ziyao took half a step back, kept a distance of five feet from him, nodded slightly, but whispered to Wanqiu, "Wanqiu, hand over the token to Deputy Commander Zhu."
Then he smiled at Zhu Yan and said, "Deputy Commander Zhu will present this thing to the emperor. I believe that the emperor will definitely reward you if he sees the token."
He took the token's hand and looked more respectful. He hurriedly said, "Then wait here for a moment, and I'll submit it."
After Vice Commander Zhu left, the group of people looked at Mo Ziyao and Wanqiu with different eyes, and many of them were still in shock and did not react.
Mo Ziyao glanced at them faintly, and those people withdrew their eyes unpreparedly and finally had some fear. And the two soldiers who had made jokes before stood there trembling with earthy faces.
Mo Ziyao doesn't care what they think about herself, and she doesn't care about these people. Originally, I didn't want to show the token, but this is a military place, a front line, and a rigorous defense. If not, I'm afraid you won't see Ruan Lingzheng even if you get to the edge of the barracks. That's why she couldn't come out.
After a long time, Deputy Commander Zhu had not come back. At this time, the sun was already a little poisonous. Mo Ziyao and Wan Qiu sat on the dry grass by the roadside and waited quietly. At this time, sweat was already rolling down on her face.
She suddenly thought that she must look very funny at this moment, right? The whole body is dirty, and the clothes are even more ragged. How messy it is, how messy it is.
They left in a hurry and didn't bring anything on their bodies. Wanqiu also seemed to feel that it was very inappropriate to see the emperor like this, so they stood up and pointed to a bodyguard and said, "You, come here."
"What's the matter, girl?" The soldier asked respectfully. He saw the previous scene completely, and even Vice Commander Zhu bowed to them. Although they are a little depressed now, they are not ordinary people.
Wan Qiu didn't know what he was thinking. He pointed to the kettle around his waist and said, "Give me the kettle."
The man didn't dare to disomit and quickly untied the kettle and handed it up. Wanqiu took the kettle, quickly tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, clenched the water, and wiped it for Mo Ziyao.
After the two wiped their faces and hands, took off their tattered robes and tidy up their appearances. At this time, they saw Vice Commander Zhu running over.
As soon as he came, he knelt on one knee and said to Mo Ziyao, "I don't know that the Empress Yao has arrived, so I just neglected. Please forgive me."
When the people around him heard him shouting "Mother", their eyes were frightening, and they immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive me!"
Mo Ziyao does not want to criticize them more, because this is an extraordinary stage and cannot disturb the army's hearts because of these trifles. If this punishes them, it will only make them resentful, so that the losses will outweigh the losses.
"Those who don't know are innocent, get up." Mo Ziyao said slowly and turned her eyes to Zhu Yan and said, "Deputy Commander Zhu, please take me to see the emperor."
"Yes. Mother, please."
Going along the path, as expected, it's still far away. Mo Ziyao folded a thorn in her hand and continued to walk. I don't know how long it took to see a bright light from the pass in front of me. Going forward, it was suddenly enlightened. She unconsciously picked up the corners of her mouth and finally arrived.
At a glance, I can't figure out how many accounts there are. Mo Ziyao looked for it and finally saw the bright yellow tent in many tents.
After walking for a while, I saw the bright yellow tent. Outside, there are layers of guards guarding. Looking at the costumes, they are all imperial guards.
Having come to the bright yellow tent, Mo Ziyao looked up at the golden flag embroidered with a flying dragon pattern dancing in the wind on the top of the tent, and suddenly had a great passion in her heart. The dragon flew, and the vigorous figure and high head all showed its nobility and domineering. The sharp claws seem to cut through the void with one claw, and the momentum is like a rainbow.
After collecting his mood, he saw Zhu Yan walk to the tent and made a gesture of invitation, "Your Majesty, please come in. The emperor is in the tent."
Mo Ziyao nodded and walked forward, but stopped on the edge of the curtain. A touch of excitement and tension surged into his heart. Ruan Lingzheng was in the tent and could be seen by opening the curtain. The familiar face could appear in front of her, but at this moment, she dared not open the curtain. She was afraid to welcome Ruan Lingzheng's anger.
Mo Ziyao seemed to feel that her eyes had been staring at her, so she couldn't help but turn her head, but inadvertently, her eyes fell on an oncoming bodyguard, and her pupils suddenly tightened!
The man also seemed to see her, suddenly lowered his head and turned around and left quickly.
