Chapter 76 Goat Milk Cake
When Jia Xun heard Zhao Chen calling him, he immediately came in.
"Draw a portrait of Xian Yuhu, and inform the city gate that the gate will be guarded, and this person is not allowed to enter or leave," Zhao Chen threw the paper on the desk, and said in a forceful tone, "I ordered people to search the house from house to house to confirm that Xian Yuhu Are you staying in Fucheng?"
"Here." Jia Xun replied, raised his head and took a deep look at Zhao Yuan, "This subordinate has ordered Yi Tuo, from now on I will lead people on duty to guard the mansion."
Zhao Chen looked at him: "You don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault."
Jia Xun bowed his head slightly, saluted and turned to go out.
Zhao Yuan watched his back disappear behind the partition with a guilty expression on his face.
"...Anu, what are you thinking?" Zhao Chen lowered his head and stared at his son. The little boy was lying weakly on the bed, his black hair scattered, making his face look lacking in color. He gently followed his son's direction. With forehead hair, asked in a low voice, "Don't show such an expression, it hurts for my father."
Zhao Yuan looked up at him obediently. He had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.
He felt that he seemed to have done a lot wrong, and he was sorry for many people.
There is a kind of uneasiness lurking in the depths, eager to come out.
Zhao Chen sighed, leaned over and kissed Zhao Yuan's forehead, his warm thin lips stayed for a moment, then gently moved to Zhao Yuan's eyes, and Zhao Yuan closed his eyes involuntarily.
"Go to sleep and have a good rest." Zhao Chen's voice was deep and mellow, as if it had the magic power to hypnotize.
"Father will watch over you."
Yes, it was this sentence. Zhao Yuan seemed to have found a certain switch. The moment he heard it, a heavy drowsiness hit his eyelids, and almost the next moment, he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Chen stared at his son for a long time, and he suddenly recalled an event a long time ago.
At that time, Fan was pregnant.It seems that one night, he went to Tangliyuan to see Fan's family, and then he went back to Osmanthus Garden.That night Anu was very disturbed, just like before, there was a kind of worry in his eyes that should be very simple.
but why?
Zhao Chen took off his coat, washed up and returned to the room quickly.He tried his best to get up to the side of the bed carefully, and then lay down on his side to look at his son. He thought he had exhausted all his energy on Anu, and no one in the house would put pressure on Anu. Why was Anu still restless?Is it not enough to have him guarding?
Naturally, he didn't know that Zhao Yuan had the biggest secret, which was even bigger than Zhao Yuan's background.A real baby, under the protection of Zhao Chen, will never know that he has no blood relationship with his father who has been with him for 11 years, but Zhao Yuan, he is a soul from another time and space, he came to this little baby On top of the small body, he was participating in the handing over of this body to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Yuan knew clearly that he was not Zhao Chen's child.
When he was fine, he couldn't think of it, but when he made a mistake, every sigh Zhao Chen made, every angry expression he showed made him uneasy and even scared.Will Zhao Chen regret it?
This kind of mood is based on this biggest secret, how should he tell Zhao Chen?
March passed smoothly, there was no attack on the city, and the Quanrong people were unusually quiet, which was different from previous years.
"All the guard posts are normal?" Zhao Chen looked at his comrades.
Wei Hong spread his hands in confusion: "No, thirteen guard posts are on duty day and night. Everything is normal in our northwest grassland, so it is really abnormal."
Liao Ting looked down at the sand table: "There is plenty of rain this year, and winter is coming to an end quickly. The pastures on the grasslands are also growing well... Maybe the Quanrong people have no shortage of pastures and food this year and plan to recuperate? This is not a good thing either. "
Zhao Chen nodded: "Jun Liao's idea is also reasonable." He said and nodded the flag representing the White Wolf Country on the northern grassland, "But I don't believe in Pan Cheng. Just stop those who expand their territory."
Wei Jie interrupted suddenly: "Uh, the last general found out recently."
Zhao Chen and the others all looked at him, he and Xie Ke exchanged glances, and said: "General Xie had contacted the nearby herdsmen earlier and told them to retreat to the Xiguan. Later, what happened to Xian Yucen, we sent scouts to Checking around, it was a little strange to report back just a few days ago..."
"Continue." Zhao Chen signaled.
Xie Ke took up the conversation and said: "We went out with the scouts yesterday and found that the herdsmen's settlements farther away were gone. The largest of them is the Mahayi tribe. There are about 300 young and middle-aged people in their tribe, and more than 100 women and children. People... In addition, the Bairong branch that is related to Xianyucen's family, about 1000 young adults and four to five hundred women and children, have also disappeared. We only searched the west and east for fifty miles each, and the north Twenty or thirty miles."
Wu Sheng also wondered: "It should be impossible in the north. Those small ethnic groups are afraid of Quanrong, and it is impossible to set up camp near the territory of Quanrong, because the grassland has been enclosed and their sheep and horses cannot eat grass. , there is also the danger of being plundered by the dog army, and the dog army cannot be snatched by hunting... so it really disappeared?"
Wei Hong: "Could it be that they retreated to the pass? Maybe they retreated to the pass from other directions. There is a larger grassland in the northwest. There is no one living there, and it is not within the scope of Zhao."
Everyone looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen has already thought of a more likely reason.
"Maybe, they just went where we didn't think it was possible."
He looked at the area that represented the White Wolf Kingdom, on the sand table, but it was a little smaller.There might be one in Pancheng for such a terrain sand table. As the head of a small border country, looking at his own country's territory, would he be willing to just shrink up in the corner of the northern grassland like this?
But if you want to expand, you must have cavalry, you must have food and horses!There must even be women who can give birth to his warriors and give birth to the next generation of warriors.
Population, population is what matters.
Zhao Chen looked up at everyone, and said solemnly: "We have been stationed in Xiguan for many years, and we know nothing more than these Xirong frontier people. They are of the same family, and come from the same blood lineage in ancient times. To them, only we Central Plains people are Outsiders! When the water and grass are plentiful, the frontier people will trade with us, and when the water and grass are dry, the frontier people will invade us with armor. If someone promises them sufficient food and a vast pasture, and promises benefits, what do you think will happen?"
Everyone was silent for a long time.
Wei Hong said in a muffled voice: "They will definitely gather to beat us!"
"He wants to entangle an army," Zhao Chen looked up at Pan Cheng's portrait, "After uniting the many tribes in the grassland, the three counties of Jiangzhou in Zhao State will become his primary target. Everyone, that man five years ago This barbaric massacre may not have happened by accident, but an attempt by the White Wolf Country. That time they stretched the battle line too long, and the supplies couldn't keep up. In the end, when Zhao Guo's reinforcements arrived, they had no choice but to withdraw..."
"Pan Cheng is inheriting his uncle's behest."
He said in a deep voice: "Continue to send scouts to investigate, and the barracks will strengthen the guard."
"The last general takes orders." Everyone responded in unison.
After everyone retreated, Zhao Chen looked at Liao Ting who was still standing aside.
"I don't know what else is there for the Inner Court Order?"
Liao Ting adjusted the armguard slowly and said, "I'm wondering if it's necessary to tell His Majesty about this."
Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, then took down Congling from the knife holder: "Of course, if there is a big war, food and supplies will be needed, but this is just my speculation for the time being, and the scouts are sent to confirm the speculation. In my opinion, my lord should postpone it." Good news."
Liao Ting glanced at him gently wiping Congling's profile, and suddenly said: "Should the general know that the humble officer once worked for the wife?"
Zhao Chen sneered, and looked at him with a knife: "I know, so what?"
Liao Ting raised the corners of his mouth, raised his hands and retreated out of the tent: "I just want to say that my wife really loves Da Lang... The general does not go out of his way, and the humble job is just a display."
Zhao Chen stared at him coldly, until Liao Ting withdrew from the tent, then retracted the scabbard with a clang.
Within the territory of King Quanrong, hundreds of miles away.
Pan Duoya rode her horse over the grassy slope, stopped at the highest point and looked at the flock of sheep moving slowly like clouds in the distance, showing a joyful smile.
"Princess!" The maid Tuha chased after her on horseback, panting and complaining, "You are riding too fast, I almost lost you!"
But Pan Duoya pointed at the flock of sheep in the distance and said to her, "Look, Tuha! The rain has been good this year, and the flock of sheep has not decreased much."
Tuha looked in her direction and became happy: "That's right, less people are starving and fewer people are dying." She was only happy for a while, and then persuaded the master again with a mournful face, "Let's Go back quickly, the king won't see you, he will whip me then."
Pan Duoya still wanted to stay outside for a while, but she thought of her father's style, hesitated for a moment, turned her horse's head, and ran towards the city wall with the flag in the distance.Tuha's black horse followed her red horse, and the figures of the two quickly became smaller.
She walked back to her residence, and as expected, she saw several maids kneeling in the spacious room, and her father, the great King Inong, stood in the middle of the house in black wolf fur with his hands behind his hands.
"Father," Pan Duoya called out crisply, and walked in briskly, "I'm back!"
Pan Cheng looked back at her, his stern face suddenly softened.
"Didn't I tell you not to run around!"
Pan Duoya giggled, not afraid of his cold face at all: "I'm not running around, I'm just riding a horse." While talking, she turned her back to Pan Cheng and winked at several maids.Those maids with tears in their eyes, quietly retreated out.
Pan Cheng didn't say much.
"Next time you go out, bring a few more guards." He stroked his daughter's long hair covered in ornaments, and urged, "The grassland is too big, spring has not yet passed, and there are still hungry wolves wandering around the tribe and the sheep , Listen to Father, you know?"
Pan Duoya nodded obediently.
Pan Cheng looked at her with soft and loving eyes, and left without saying anything.
Tuha came in with a plate of goat milk cake, patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief: "The king is in a good mood, we all escaped."
"Nonsense," Pan Duoya reprimanded her lightly, "Father has always been very good."
The king is only good in front of you.Tuha muttered silently in his heart.
Pan Duoya sighed, and walked barefoot to a bronze mirror.The mirror is polished smooth, although it is not very clear, it can be seen that the girl in the mirror has beautiful features, and has a delicate beauty that is different from the girls in the grassland.
"Draw a portrait of Xian Yuhu, and inform the city gate that the gate will be guarded, and this person is not allowed to enter or leave," Zhao Chen threw the paper on the desk, and said in a forceful tone, "I ordered people to search the house from house to house to confirm that Xian Yuhu Are you staying in Fucheng?"
