Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

"Pang Ce, I want to visit Zhuhe." Gongsun Mingyue said while staring at the map.

Pang Ce stood up and looked at him, sighed softly, and said, "You must go?"

"We must go." Gongsun Mingyue's eyes were full of determination.

"I go with you."

"No need, let Suzaku go with me. This Yanzhou city can't do without you. Since Fan Yong was dismissed by the emperor, you have become the master of Yanzhou city. Once you leave, it will harm the common people. Where is it?" Gongsun Mingyue disagreed, showing no room for discussion.

Pang Ce knew that it was useless to say anything else, so he could only sigh deeply and said, "At present we don't know the situation around the Zhuhe River, and the opposite is Nanxia. You must be careful in the past. Suzaku has followed me for many years. He escaped in a critical moment." It’s definitely fine, but it’s hard to protect you.”

Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help but smiled slightly and said: "Are you so disrespectful of me? Don't forget, you win by force, but I rely on wisdom."

Pang Ce showed a wry smile: "Yes, you are very smart. I'm afraid that Nan Xia will end you before you show your intelligence."

"Don't be so unconfident in me, isn't there Suzaku with me?" Gongsun Mingyue said, "Oh, by the way, don't you know how to watch the sky at night?"

"What's the matter?"

"I want to know if you have discovered anything in the past few days?"

"How can I still see it? There is no light in the sky. What do I think?" Pon Ce has been very anxious about this matter. He has never been unable to watch the sky even at the beginning of the month, but this is coming soon. It's the middle of the month, but I can't see it at all.

Gongsun Mingyue pondered for a while and said: "Well, you can try again tonight and see if you have any new discoveries."

Gongsun Mingyue walked to the door, looked into the distance and asked: "Well, I wonder if I can call General Zhu, I want to go back early."

"Do you think I will believe that you will come back? I'm afraid you will go to Wu Yong and the others after reading it." Pang Ce walked gently to his side and said, "No matter what you do, remember to come back safely."

Gongsun Mingyue turned her head to look at those familiar eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "I will definitely."

……

Both Gongsun Mingyue and Suzaku changed into civilian clothes, rode fast horses to the Zhuhe River, and made Gongsun Mingyue's body exhausted from the continuous trek. He felt cold from head to toe, and then from toe to head.

He didn't know whether it was because he was too tired or too weak. He felt that the weather was getting colder and colder. His teeth were chattering just now on the horseback.

The Zhuhe River is indeed a natural moat. Standing by the river, Gongsun Mingyue walked slowly along the riverside covered with withered grass.

Suzaku asked puzzledly: "Gongsun Gongzi, what are we looking for?"

"I don't know either, but I know that there are visions in the sky, and strange things will inevitably happen in the world." Gongsun Mingyue didn't know what he was looking for, but he still wanted to look for everything that didn't make sense.

"Gongsun Gongzi, be careful." Suzaku said and pulled him behind.

Seeing a dark green snake about two feet long swimming past where he was standing just now, Gongsun Mingyue said with lingering fear: "Thank you General Zhu, otherwise Gongsun's life will be over."

"Gongsun Mingyue, be careful, the withered grass is so high here, it's not easy to find the danger under your feet." Suzaku chose to walk in front of Gongsun Mingyue, and drew out his sword to chop continuously in the grass.

"I will be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Suzaku stopped in his tracks. He stood motionless on the spot. Gongsun Mingyue stepped forward to look puzzled, and was startled when he saw it.

In the grass ahead, a group of snakes and frogs were engaged in a life-and-death battle. Five or six snakes, the same as what they had just seen, were being besieged by a group of frogs. Hundreds of frogs surrounded the snake. The snake twisted its body continuously, Opened its bloody mouth wide, trying to swallow the frogs, but those frogs were crazy, if one was swallowed, more frogs would rush forward together, that is, in the blink of an eye, all the snakes would straighten up Lie down and never move again.

In a blink of an eye, those frogs all jumped up the high slope and went deep into the forest.

"Let's go and have a look." Gongsun Mingyue also ran up the high slope, following the footprints of those frogs.

"Young Master Gongsun, it's better to be more careful, this matter is too weird." Suzaku followed behind, not forgetting to remind Gongsun Mingyue.

"This is what we're looking for." Gongsun Mingyue said, but she didn't dare to relax her feet at all, for fear that if she was not careful, these frogs would disappear.

Suddenly came to the edge of a steep cliff, the frogs jumped down collectively without even thinking about it, Gongsun Mingyue came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, in fact the cliff is not high, there is a shallow stream below, rushing Smoking clear water flowed.

"Hot spring." Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help beaming with joy.

He was worried that his body was cold, and he didn't know what to do. Now, there is a hot spring in this mountain, and he doesn't know how far it is from Yanzhou.

"Mr. Gongsun, there are many hot springs to the north of Yanzhou City. Why didn't the general tell you?" Suzaku is no stranger to hot springs. He thought he had gone to the hot springs outside Yanzhou City many times when he first came. It's just that Nanxia besieged the city later, so I couldn't go again.

"No, I guess he thinks the situation is urgent now, so it's useless to say it." Gongsun Mingyue walked down from the edge of the cliff, looked up and looked around, not sure where it was, "How did we get here? How did we get out? "

Suzaku smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have the intention to leave marks along the way, otherwise Mr. Gongsun might spend the night here."

Gongsun Mingyue smiled awkwardly: "It seems that I am still very smart, and I brought you, a very smart general, to follow me."

Suzaku couldn't help laughing: "Come on, I don't want this kind of cleverness. Let's go." After speaking, he took Gongsun Mingyue back along the original road.

Only then did Gongsun Mingyue have time to look at everything in the forest. Birds were flying in the forest, spiders were spinning their webs, and many red ants were running back and forth between the branches. It was a strange place, but Gongsun Mingyue just felt that something was wrong.

Gongsun Mingyue absent-mindedly followed Suzaku to the edge of the Zhu River, and he kept repeating those seemingly harmonious scenes in his mind.

Suddenly he seemed to think of something, and said: "General Zhu, let's go to General Wu. Hurry up."

Not allowing Suzaku to think about what happened, Gongsun Mingyue had already run to the horse and was about to get on the horse. Seeing that Suzaku was still in a daze, Gongsun Mingyue hurriedly waved and said, "Get on the horse."

Suzaku regained his senses and quickly jumped on the horse, following behind the galloping Gongsun Mingyue, gradually getting further and further away.With the sunset behind, time is running out.

When Gongsun Mingyue arrived at Shi Yuan's barracks, the sky was completely dark. Seeing Gongsun Mingyue, Wu Yong said happily, "Gongsun Mingyue, you are here. Shi Yuan is actually going to lead the army. Why do you always go out?" It’s hard to do big things in the back.”

Gongsun Mingyue walked into Shi Yuan's tent with Wu Yong: "General Shi, the most difficult battle is not in the front battalion, but in yours. If my guess is correct, Li Binghao will attack both front and back."

"Planning back and forth? Mr. Gongsun, you are worrying too much. Why is Li Binghao flanking from behind?" Shi Yuan glanced at Gongsun Mingyue and said contemptuously.

Gongsun Mingyue walked to the map, pointed to the Zhuhe River on the map and said, "I said that this river must be a hidden danger, and now it seems that it is indeed the case."

"Gongsun Gongzi, it's impossible?" Qiu'er interrupted, "The river is so wide and deep, and the weather is so cold now, Li Binghao would never think of crossing the river."

"No, he can cross the river without a boat at all." Gongsun Mingyue snapped a map and said.

"How can we cross the river without a boat?" Wu Yong asked.

"freeze."

"Hahaha, Mr. Gongsun, you are an outsider, so you don't know about this river." Shi Yuan walked to Gongsun Mingyue and said, "No one can pass through the river, even gods will stop here."

"General Shi, you are wrong. Don't talk about gods this time, ordinary people will probably be able to cross the river safely when they get here." Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile.

"Ice?" Shi Yuan asked.

"Yes."

"Since the beginning of the Youzhu River, it has never been frozen. No matter how cold or severe the season is, it has been flowing all year round." Shi Yuan said with his hands on his hips.

"Then we will break this rule from this year on."

"You said that the Zhuhe River is about to freeze, what is your evidence?" Shi Yuan turned to look at Gongsun Mingyue and said.

Gongsun Mingyue walked up to Suzaku, and said calmly: "Today, General Zhu and I went to the Qianhe River to have a look. At that time, I saw some strange phenomena, but I couldn't figure it out. Then I finally figured out what was going on."

"You went to cut the river?" Wu Yong looked at them with wide eyes. At such a critical moment, they actually went to such a dangerous place. What if they met Nan Xia's spies?

"Yes." Suzaku would not know what Wu Yong meant, he nodded slightly, hoping that he could feel at ease.

"What strange phenomenon?" Shi Yuan asked.

"I saw all the frogs in the river escaped from the water, and some snakes were finally killed by the frogs in order to have a good meal; and the birds in the woods were so strange and chaotic, there was no beauty at all; The spiders are also weaving their webs desperately, as if they will starve to death if they weave slowly; and those red ants are not transporting food on the ground, but crawling around on the trees. It's snowing, and the temperature is going to drop. The river is going to freeze." Gongsun Mingyue said while walking.

"Young Master Gongsun, you made such an absurd conclusion just because of the behavior of such a beast?" Shi Yuan sneered.

"General Shi has probably never heard of an incident during the Zhou Dynasty." Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile without hesitation. Unable to make it through, I thought about giving up, but Jiang Ziya found that there were a large number of spiders in the woods weaving their webs desperately. He calculated that the weather was about to cool down. Sure enough, not only did the temperature drop at night, but the river was also frozen. The army crossed the river easily, and finally wiped out the innocent Shang Dynasty."

Shi Yuan didn't speak, he never read these historical stories, so naturally he never knew about them, but he had heard about Jiang Ziya's deeds from the storyteller, and knew that it was a man of god who descended to earth, so he immediately He didn't know how to deal with Gongsun Mingyue's statement.

"General Shi, you should believe it now, right?" Gongsun Mingyue asked.

"Do not."
