Chapter 58 Unfinished
"What, it's defeated?"
Wang Qiang suddenly stood up from his chair, stared at Di Yuyao, and asked again suspiciously. Seeing that Di Yuyao nodded awkwardly again, Wang Qiang's anger suddenly rose. Hearing the 'bang', Wang Qiang's palm slapped several cases fiercely and smiled angrily: "More than 30 warriors can't even kill two little women. Yuyao, can you tell me what's going on?
"Godfather, the child is incompetent, please calm your anger." Di Yuyao saw Wang Qiang's gloomy face, and his legs couldn't help but soften and knelt on the spot.
To be honest, Di Yuyao didn't expect to fail. When Mu Guiying left the border gate, Di Yuyao was afraid that she would have great ability and specially sent ten more people to follow her. Unexpectedly, Mu Guiying was so calculating that she let Jiang Cuiping leave first and dragged the pursuers. And just as Mu Guiying was exhausted and about to die, Jiang Cuiping brought a large group of Taoist priests to rescue him. Although those Taoists are young, they are all strong in martial arts. The warrior sent by Di Yuyao could not resist and had to withdraw back, but lost half of his manpower.
After listening to Di Yuyao's narrative, Wang Qiang sat back in the chair and gently knocked on several cases. He said in a low voice, "I didn't expect Mu Guiying to have such a ability. I underestimated her."
Although Di Yuyao listened to Wang Qiang's words, he did not dare to answer, but only said, "Father, then..."
"Next..." Wang Qiang looked at Di Yuyao and remembered that his plan had not been fully implemented. Thinking about it, Wang Qiang raised the corners of his mouth again, narrowed his eyes, and whispered to Di Yuyao, "Must Mu Guiying will come back soon and must do this before she comes back. Yuyao, the next thing will be done by you. This time, we must not make any more mistakes."
"Yu Yao will definitely live up to the expectations of his adoptive father. Please rest assured." Di Yuyao's eyes flashed fiercely, which made Wang Qiang nodded with satisfaction.
......
On the sunny and spacious official road, three fast horses drove to the border gate.
The three horses sat two women and one man. Two of the little women looked tired, but they were beautiful, while the teenager was a little Taoist priest. Strangely, there are two big burdens on each of the three mounts. Then the ups and downs of the bag can be seen that it seems to be wrapped in green grass. Seeing that Gao Yangguan was getting closer and closer, smiles appeared on the faces of the two little women, but the little Taoist priest was a little excited.
Today, it was Yang Zongbao, the vanguard, who patrolled at the border gate. As soon as he was about to change his post and rest, he heard the department report that three people were approaching the border gate. Yang Zongbao's heart moved and went to the gate tower to check. When he saw the appearance of one of the little women, Yang Zongbao was immediately overjoyed. He ran down the gate and shouted, "Open the gate quickly. The owner of Muzhai came back asking for medicine."
The guard who guarded the door immediately opened the gate as soon as he heard this. The other soldiers were also full of joy on their faces, and their hearts said that the brothers were saved. By the way, why did Mu Guiying secretly leave the border, but these soldiers knew it?
In fact, not long ago, Prime Minister Wang Qiang didn't know how to know that Mu Guiying was not in her tent and made trouble in front of Marshal Yang's account. Through the protection of Kou Zhun and the Eighth Prince, she exonerated Mu Guiying, saying that she knew that she could cure the poison among the border soldiers and went to ask for medicine. Wang Qiang made a 'bet' with Kou Zhun and the Eighth Prince. If Mu Guiying really asked for medicine, he would not blame anything before; if Mu Guiying escaped, Kou Zhun would be willing to resign. And Yang Liulang naturally can't escape the crime of covering up.
This bet is not small, and no one deliberately conceals it. Therefore, in less than half an hour, everyone at the border gate knew. On the one hand, they don't believe that Mu Guiying is the poisoner; on the other hand, they sincerely hope that Mu Guiying is indeed going to ask for medicine to save people. Therefore, as soon as they heard that Mu Guiying was back, they knew that the poisoned people were saved.
"Marshal, I have something important to report."
Just as Yang Liulang and Kou Zhun, the eighth prince sitting in his tent, were about to go to the gate to meet Mu Guiying, who had made great achievements, they were stopped by a general. Yang Liulang and the three of them saw that this official looked anxious, so they sat back in their original position and asked him to report first.
As soon as this officer entered the camp, he immediately knelt down and said in panic, "Marshal, Jiang Longmu, no, it's gone..."
"What--" Yang Liulang, Kou Zhun, and the Eighth Prince immediately got up when they heard this sentence. Although Yang Liulang was anxious, he still asked calmly, "What's going on? Take your time."
"Yes." This officer wiped the sweat on his head before he slowly said it.
It turned out that after Mu Guiying sent the dragon tree to the border, she handed it over to Yang Liulang. Yang Liulang knew the preciousness of this dragon tree, so he sent people to guard it day and night. This time, one-third of the soldiers at the border were poisoned, and there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the dragon wood, and Yang Liulang transferred some soldiers to guard the dragon wood.
Who would have thought that when the general in charge of guarding the dragon tree just went to check, he found that the guarding soldiers had disappeared. The general was shocked and quickly ran into the tent where the descending dragon wood was placed to check. Only then did he know that those soldiers guarded and stole and secretly transported the descending dragon wood away.
After hearing this, Yang Liulang was shocked and angry. Shockingly, this dragon wood is the most important 'shaper' weapon' to break the Tianmen array. If it is lost, there is no second dragon wood. Furiously, he is in charge of the three armies, but let the dragon wood disappear under his own eyes. It's like being slapped loudly in front of everyone. Yang Liulang's mood can be imagined.
When Kou Zhun saw that Yang Liulang's face was white and red and unpredictable, he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "Liulang, this is not the time to blame yourself. The most important thing is to find the dragon tree."
"Yes, Lord Kou is right. This dragon tree may not have been shipped out of the border. The Eighth Prince frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate to talk about this matter. Let's check it secretly first."
"Good." Yang Liulang got the reminder of Kou Zhun and the Eighth Prince, and then people came to Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, Yang Xing and Yue Sheng. Let each of the four take a team of soldiers and search in the dark at the border. Don't disturb too many people. Be sure to find out the whereabouts of the dragon tree.
After ordering all this, Yang Liulang and the three of them had no interest in welcoming Mu Guiying. They all sat in the tent of the Chinese army, waiting for the news of the surrender of the dragon tree. Therefore, when Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao came to the military tent, they saw that the three looked very bad. When talking to Mu Guiying, he was also a little absent-minded.
Mu Guiying saw it and guessed whether something had happened again. But she said how to deal with the herbs brought back to cure the poison of the soldiers of the three armies. Hearing this, Yang Liulang became energetic and asked people to decoct the medicine quickly.
While everyone was waiting to decoct the medicine, Haining, a Taoist priest who came with Mu Guiying and Jiang Cuiping, looked at Yang Liulang and Yang Zongbao with an excited face. Just as he was about to remind Mu Guiying to introduce himself, Kou Zhun got up and walked to Mu Guiying and whispered, "The dragon wood has been stolen."
"Ah--" Yang Zongbao exclaimed, but Mu Guiying sighed in his heart that something really happened. Thinking that she almost lost her life before, Mu Guiying was sure that all this was done by Wang Qiang. However, Mu Guiying has no evidence, and there is really nothing to do with Wang Qiang.
Just as Kou Zhun wanted to ask Mu Guiying's thoughts, the messenger came to report that Wang Qiang came. When Mu Guiying heard this, she wink at Jiang Cuiping and asked her to take the Taoist Haining to leave first. Because Mu Guiying was afraid that Wang Qiang would see Haining's mind and cause trouble again.
But Haining was a little unwilling to leave. After leaving the marshal's tent, she said, "Hey, little beggar, why didn't Sister Mu talk about me first?"
As soon as Jiang Cuiping heard Haining's name, she immediately turned around and stood up and said angrily, "I don't call you a little beggar. In addition, Sister Ying has her own plan to do things. If you don't want to be beaten, just listen to Sister Ying's arrangement. Let's go and see if the medicine is ready.
After saying that, Jiang Cuiping walked forward angrily. Looking back on the time when I was looking for the 'Qiankun Cave', I was very embarrassed, like a beggar. But after rescuing Mu Guiying and grooming her, which Taoist priest didn't look amazing. It is Haining who has always described her as a 'little beggar'. Even Mu Guiying cleaned him up because of this, but he didn't know how to change his words. It seems that he still owes a beat.
I remember seeing Li Tianwei ask for herbs and hearing about Haining's background, Jiang Cuiping began to sympathize with him. And after seeing the sadness of Haining, who was one year younger than her, crying, Jiang Cuiping's heart changed again. However, these changes were all suppressed by Jiang Cuiping's angry words on the way back to the border.
"Hey, little beg..." As soon as Haining said two words, he saw Jiang Cuiping suddenly turn around, and her eyes were like a sharp blade. This immediately reminded him of Mu Guiying's talk to him, so he shrank his neck and said with a dry smile, "Sister Jiang, it's my fault."
"Hmm." Jiang Cuiping snorted coldly and turned around to continue to lead the way.
Haining quickly followed, saw the soldiers patrolling by, and then came to Jiang Cuiping's side: "Sister Jiang, senior sister Mu just asked you and me to leave first. Is it because of Wang Qiang? Previously, when I was in the 'Qiankun Cave', my little brother seemed to have heard Sister Mu say..."
"Shut up." When Jiang Cuiping heard this, she immediately took a fierce look at Haining and stared at him and whispered clearly, "Prime Minister Wang is the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Under one person, tens of thousands of people, how can you call him by his name? Also, I think you should know what 'disaster comes from the mouth'. This is not a 'Qiankun Cave', so casual. If you want things to go smoothly, be careful. If something happens again, I didn't say I didn't warn you.
Jiang Cuiping said and walked ahead to lead the way, but Haining blinked and stood still as if to recall what she had just said. Looking at Jiang Cuiping's back, something seemed to flash in Haining's eyes. After that, Haining trotted to catch up with Jiang Cuiping and said with a smile, "Sister Jiang, I heard from Sister Mu that you are my brother's sister. Thinking about the beginning, when my brother studied art in 'Qiankun Cave', he took good care of me..."
