Chapter 259 Old People's Visit
Murong Xun waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to say this. Please talk about everything later!" Zhao Yu's hostility in today's eyes is not as unscrupulous as before. I think Zhao Ling said something to her.
Zhao Hui frowned and sighed. She didn't know her sister's delusion, but if the prince was interested in her, how could she wait until today? Why can't my sister see through it?
"When Yan Yu was alive, he was most loyal to the princess. He would rather hurt himself than the princess be hurt a little. If there is Yan Yu in Zhao's heart, he should also fulfill Yan Yu's last wish and protect the princess well, right?" Yingge looked at Zhao Hui's white face and said.
Zhao Hui paused and said, "Of course, of course!"
"Oh!" Yingge sneered and said, "Don't agree so quickly, but I don't know what you will choose between your sister and the princess in the end!"
Zhao Hui lowered his head and was silent.
Yingge sneered at his lips, and the whip hit the horse's buttocks, catching up with Murong Xun.
After walking for a while, I saw Zhao Ling's figure next to the road. He rode a white horse and waited under a tree. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see what he was thinking. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, he raised his head and smiled faintly at Murong Xun, "Let's go!"
Murong Xun accelerated the speed of the horse and walked side by side with Zhao Ling. As he walked, he said, "I was still wondering. You had to inquire about the military situation. I think Zhao Yu found the information here. Did you come here specially to confirm?"
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from you. Zhao Yu didn't dare to see me. Maybe it was because he found the information this time that he dared to contact me!"
"Can't the identity of those people still be determined?" Murong Xun asked again.
"No!" Zhao Ling said, "Although it's very hidden, it still let me investigate some clues, but I can't believe it!"
"Is it really related to the people in Zijin Palace?" Murong Xun frowned and asked.
Zhao Ling nodded, "It's getting a little troublesome!"
"Are we leaving like this?" Murong Xun glanced behind him and left without doing anything. Although he chose an extremely safe approach, it was not in line with his personality!
"How can it be!" Zhao Ling raised his lips and smiled, which was a little flamboyant and evil. He also looked back behind him and said, "Before Zhou Ting comes, you have to give them a gift!"
Soon after, when thick black smoke rose in the west of the town, Murong Xun finally knew what the so-called gift was.
Zhao Ling said, "Although this town is an important border town in the State of Wei, it relies on food and fodder in other places. Now it has burned the granary. If the road of grain transportation is cut off, this town is basically useless! Without this town as a barrier, the State of Wei will inevitably add troops to the periphery. At that time, the number of troops will not be more than the current number. At least on this battlefield, it can also make the State of Wei fall into a passive situation!"
"Why don't you burn their granaries after we leave!" Murong Xun sighed and said, "Isn't it a little risky now? Such a big action is bound to attract the attention of Wei Jun. What if Zhou Ting doesn't come in time?"
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "I have calculated the time. If Zhou Ting has no trouble on the road, it should be the time, but we can attract the attention of the Wei army. First, introduce them into the ambush of our people and horses at the border, and second, Zhou Ting. Get ready for the sneak attack!"
Murong Xun said, "It's just that if they had inquired about our ambush at the border, they might not have come to chase!"
Zhao Ling said, "That depends on whether the price is worth their risk!"
"Did you let go of the news that you are here?" Murong Xun looked at Zhao Ling in surprise and sighed with a smile, "You are really crazy!"
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "I'm going to take risks because of me!"
Murong Xun raised the corners of his mouth gently, "It's been so exciting for a long time! Marry a chicken, marry a dog, marry a madman, and you can only be chased away!"
Zhao Ling's heart warmed and gave a wink to a bodyguard beside him, who immediately left in a hurry. Zhao Ling turned around and said to Murong Xun, "Let's go. The good show is about to begin!"
When Murong Xun was about to raise his whip, suddenly there was a messy voice behind him, and scolding, screaming, begging for mercy, and sad crying. From time to time, there was a blazing firelight rising from all over the town.
Murong Xun looked at everything behind him and said to Zhao Ling with some disapproval, "Are you going to wash this town with blood? But they are just innocent people!"
Murong Xun said, "If it hadn't caused chaos, we would have easily left here!" He looked at Murong Xun and said, "There are no innocent people on the battlefield, only the law of the jungle. If we can't leave safely today, we will think that I am a fish!"
Murong Xun said with a serious expression, "I understand the reason!" After a pause, he said, "What about a war? Do we have to abandon our conscience because of the war? Zhao Ling, the purpose of our war is to defend our country and land, but it does not mean that we have the right to destroy our homes!"
The sad cries in his ears came intermittently. Murong Xun looked back and saw a mother and daughter running towards their peace of mind. At this time, the two men in black were following them closely and raised their butcher knives high. The mother held her daughter tightly in her arms, but the white knife behind her penetrated her mother's body and came out of her chest.
Murong Xun pulled the reeds and was ready to turn the horse's head. Zhao Ling hurriedly stopped, "Don't be wayward!"
Murong Xun shook his head and looked at Zhao Ling and said, "I'm not wayward, it's just an instinct. Every mother should not lose her child. Zhao Ling, we are human beings, not animals.
Zhao Ling looked at Murong Xun tightly and moved his lips and said, "You go first. I will pass on the order. It's just to create chaos and hurt people's lives as little as possible!"
"Zhao Ling, I know what I'm doing!" Murong Xun smiled and planned to go back.
Zhao Ling nodded and let go of his hand, "Go!"
Murong Xun nodded, "I'll be back as soon as possible!" Before she finished her words, Zhao Ling quickly moved her acupuncture point, and then handed her over to Yingge and said to Yingge and Zhao Hui, "Protect the princess!"
"What about the prince?" Zhao Hui said urgently.
Zhao Ling said, "I have one more thing to confirm. You go first. Let's go to Qingyun Mountain round!"
"I will stay to protect the prince!" Zhao Hui said.
Zhao Ling waved his hand and said, "Zhao Hui, just do things calmly and protect the princess. I have my own plan. Don't delay. You go now!" He turned around and touched Murong Xun's hair and smiled faintly, "Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back, okay?"
After saying that, Zhao Ling ordered Zhao Hui, Yingge and others to leave with Murong Xun. Zhao Ling rode on the white horse and glanced at the sea of fire in front of him. His eyes were as deep as Gutan, and his thin lips gently squeezed, "Is it you?"
As soon as he shook the whip, the horse rushed into the sea of fire like an arrow from the string.
"Your Majesty, why did you come back?" A subordinate of Zhao Ling said with surprise when he saw Zhao Ling's figure.
Zhao Ling's eyebrows did not unfold. He looked around with gloomy eyes, and then looked down at his subordinates under the horse and said, "How's the people staring?"
The subordinate replied, "It's strange that since it's so chaotic outside, the people inside still haven't moved!"
"Oh?" Zhao Ling frowned deeply.
The subordinate immediately said, "My subordinates and others have been monitoring here. It's true that not even a fly has flown out!"
Zhao Ling got off his horse and frowned and entered the inn under close surveillance. He went up the stairs and stopped in front of a room, and the guard behind him immediately stepped forward and kicked the door open.
Zhao Ling stepped into the room and looked around the room. His eyes were fixed on a man sitting indifferently next to the round table with his back to him. The corners of his mouth gently raised, "Isn't it a hurry at all!"
