Stirring up with the old enemy

Outside Hao Chun's tent, Chen Jingming and Lu Ji were in a stalemate, and all the subordinate officials looked at each other in blank dismay.Several soldiers guarding outside the tent looked at each other, and soon one retreated and disappeared without a sound.

"Master Chen, I respect you for being a scholar." Lu Ji looked down at Chen Jingming with a sneer, and said darkly, "Unfortunately, you are not very smart."

"Should you be smart enough to let you kill him?" Chen Jingming clenched his fists and squeezed the reins of Lu Ji's horse tightly with his fingertips. Under the blazing sun, his youthful features were now glowing with a cold jade color. "Master Lu is clearly selfish!"

Lu Ji's selfishness is actually not difficult to guess. Anyang King Qin Dian is eyeing the crown prince in Chang'an. Hao Chun was once favored by the emperor, so he is naturally a stumbling block for Anyang King Qin Dian.Don't say that Hao Chun went out privately this time and didn't report to the army. Even if Hao Chun really followed the regulations, Anyang King Qin Dian and the Chang'an family who supported Qin Dian would have to find a reason. Hao Chun was dealt with.

Chen Jingming knew he was wrong, but he was always a person who would not admit defeat, especially for Hao Chun, he couldn't admit defeat.

If he admits defeat, the vast desert, who will find the whereabouts of that fellow?

Lu Ji glared at Chen Jingming with a gloomy face, and was about to sarcastically, when a group of people trotted in from outside. The first one had a small eight-pole three-inch flag behind him, with bird feathers tied to the end of the flag, and under the iron helmet His face was grey.The soles of the boots thumped, and when they saw Lu Ji, they immediately knelt down and proclaimed loudly:

"Lu Jianjun, the Wutu people in front are calling again."

Crashing, the wind blew the handsome tent, and the tarpaulin felt rattled under the scorching sun.

Lu Ji turned the horse's head irritably, without paying any attention to Chen Jingming in front of the horse. Chen Jingming was dragged around half a circle with the rein in his hand, staggered, and almost fell to the ground to die on the spot.

"God damn Wutu people!" Lu Ji gritted his teeth and cursed, staring at the messenger with the bird's feather flag, paused, his face became more gloomy. "Beat the drums and ask a few people with bright voices to go up and scold each other."

The messenger officer didn't even dare to lift his head, he knelt on one knee and replied loudly: "Supervisor, they have shot a row of arrows this time, and there are words on the arrows."

The Ughurs have historically been considered barbaric.

Lu Ji sneered, with a look of disdain. "Those Rong Dier can actually write?"

"Yes, it was written by the general."

There were rumors outside the handsome tent, and everyone's expressions were a little strange.Chen Jingming's face turned pale in an instant, and he wished he could rush over and shake the bird feathers behind the messenger officer, forcing him to ask about Hao Chun's news, but he knew he couldn't reveal the news at this moment, so he closed his eyes in pain, clenched his fists until the veins on the back of his hands twitched. rise.And what about Lu Ji?

Lu Ji suddenly lowered his face and sneered again and again. "Which country's general?"

This sentence is particularly insidious.

Even the unknown messenger officer sensed the danger, lowered his head even lower, and his voice trembled slightly. "Reporting to the Lu Supervisor Army, the arrows shot from the Wutu people have a letter tied to the last feather that we should conquer the General of the Western Hussars."

"Oh?" Lu Ji's voice couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger, and every word was cold. "Why did he shoot from the enemy camp? Could it be that he surrendered to the Ugul tribe?"

This sentence is really sinister.

"Lord Lu, be careful!" Chen Jingming was extremely angry, and he endured it again and again, he really couldn't bear it.He raised his jaw angrily, and asked in a loud voice: "Pinglehou is my lord of Yingtian, Master Lu said this, where does he want to put the lord?!"

Sitting high on the horseback, Lu Ji looked around, glanced at Chen Jingming with a half-smile, the corners of his lips curled down, and his brows under the iron helmet were particularly gloomy.The hooves of the horses answered, they didn't move forward, and they didn't talk to Chen Jingming.

"Supervisor?"

In the suffocating silence, the messenger buried his head and urged again: "The Wutu people said that if no one responds to this letter, they will come back in an hour."

Chen Jingming's eyes moved slightly, and immediately took advantage of the situation to pursue, and said loudly: "Although Hou Ye has a long history of grudges with Mr. Lu, but the enemy is now, I hope Mr. Lu will not use his emotions."

"This officer is acting on his own will?" Lu Ji looked at the soldiers in front of Hao Chun's tent, was silent for a while, and then said gloomyly: "General Hao, as the commander of our Yingtian, does not go back to his own camp if he has something to do, but passes through the enemy's camp briskly." Here to deliver a letter... If it is really General Hao’s own handwriting, what is General Hao’s intention? And how do you know that this letter is not a bait from the Wutu people?"

"When the situation is unclear, I'd rather fight!" Chen Jingming clenched his fists to calm down the beating heart in his chest. With a pale face, he looked up at the landing table quietly. "Lord Lu, I will not quarrel with you. Since he has sent a letter, I have to go and see it myself. If Master Lu is afraid that there may be fraud in it, or that the letter may be poisonous, I will be the one who opened the letter."

Chen Jingming abandoned those stereotypes and titles in the officialdom, and directly used the word you and me, making it clear that he regarded himself as the pillow of Pinglehou Haochun.

The quarrel between the two of them was in front of the soldiers who came to deliver the letter, and it was ugly.The commander-in-chief and the supervising army are already at odds, and there can be no further disagreement with the food supervisor sent by the court.Even if Anyang King Qin Dian really enters the East Palace the next day, he must have the support of the border soldiers.Furthermore, although Chen Jingming was not to be feared, there was a big Sikong Cheng Huaijing covering him in the court hall.

Lu Jilue hesitated for a while, and realized that he really couldn't do anything to Chen Jingming for the time being.

I should have taken the opportunity to kill this man on Jiangnan Road!

"Master Chen wants to go and see for himself. It's nothing at all." Lu Ji started from the side, his brows became more gloomy, and he evaded: "It's just when these two armies are facing each other..."

"I can also be regarded as the food supervisor in the camp." Chen Jingming cut off the words, took a big step forward, and said boldly: "The commander has disappeared, so he should go and find out."

Lu turned his horse's head around a few times, glanced at Chen Jingming gloomily, and his tone became even colder. "Master Chen is heartbroken if he doesn't see the Yellow River!"

Chen Jingming raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Seeing the Yellow River, I am still heartbroken."

**

After half an hour.

Chen Jingming finally got some clues about Hao Chun's guy. The letter was tied at the end of the arrow feather, and there were only a few words scribbled.

【Let them exchange cities】

Hao Chun was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child. Although his family suffered catastrophe when he was young, he was forced to live in the market, and even lived in a nursery for a while, but Bailu Academy taught him good calligraphy.The pen is as sharp as a flying stone falling from a mountain, heartily and vividly.

Chen Jingming pinched the thin purple silk, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.This was torn from Hao Chun's cuff!He remembered that when the guy left, there was a purple silk garment hanging by the bedside. If he put the letter up to his nose and sniffed it, the piece of silk cloth still had the aloe fragrance that the guy used to love, and he gave it to him by mistake when he mixed it with the bridal chamber that night. The aftertaste of the exotic fragrance "Xunchun" that the guy used.

"...for what?" Chen Jingming's voice was hoarse for a moment, and he squeezed the piece of cloth tightly, as if he squeezed the hand of the guy in the soft tent again.

Lu Ji sat in the main seat with a golden knife, his face was ashen, and when he raised his hand, the knife on his waist rang. "There is no beginning and no end, how does this officer know what he wants to change!"

"The translator at Ugul said that Lord Hou captured their tribal leader." This time, the messenger buried his head and finished speaking in one breath. "This letter is an exchange condition that Lord Hou asked them to send to the leader."

Chen Jingming heaved a sigh of relief, and his face that had been tense all the time became more lively. Holding the silk silk, he leaned forward, trying his best to pretend to be business-like. "Where is Mr. Hou, are you safe?"

The messenger raised his head and glanced at him quickly, then buried his head down again. "The general in Dinggu Temple somehow occupied that valley and led thousands of barbarian monks to capture the leader of the Wutu people alive."

……Ah!

Chen Jingming lowered his eyelids and laughed self-deprecatingly from the bottom of his heart.In vain, he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep for days and nights for that guy!The guy who dared to love was in a hurry to make meritorious service.

"Dingu Temple?" Lu Ji obviously heard the news for the first time, raising his eyebrows in surprise. "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and the bird feather flag planted behind his back rustled lightly. "The general captured the leader of the Wutu people, but now the Dinggu Temple is also surrounded by the Wutu people. The two sides have been in a stalemate for three days, and only today did they report."

Lu Ji sneered. "That's right, you were originally the old troops who followed him to garrison in the Western Regions for four or five years. You didn't dare to report your military achievements before. Even this official didn't know about it!"

The messenger officer was even more afraid to say anything, and just knelt on one knee with his head buried, but his back was straight.

"Lord Lu," although Chen Jingming was also annoyed, he had no choice but to rescue the messenger who was loyal to Hao Chun. "Since Lord Hou is safe and sound, and has captured the tribal leader of the Wutu people alive, now...should I follow Lord Hou's wishes and send someone to the enemy camp to negotiate?"

"Who to send?" Lu Ji snorted angrily.

Chen Jingming immediately cheered up and recommended himself with a sullen and jade-like face. "The next official is willing to go."

Lu Ji looked him up and down, with the corner of his mouth turned down, and he sneered. "you?"

Chen Jingming's lacquered eyes were as sharp as rock electricity, and he repeated it calmly. "Yes, I am willing to go to the Wutu army to discuss the exchange of cities."

Lu Ji was furious, and the knife on his waist clanged again. "Master Chen, you are only in charge of food supervision!"

Chen Jingming was not afraid at all, looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said softly: "So?"

"So you can't go!"

"One of the lower officials is the same as Mr. Lu, and he is also an official of the imperial court; second, the lower official has a long-standing marriage contract with the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye disappeared, and the lower official can't sleep and eat. Now that he has finally got news, the lower official must go there in person. Probe. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

Lu Ji was silent for a moment, and the handsome face under the silver helmet became more and more gloomy. "Uneasy?"

"Yes."

Lu Ji turned his head and stared at Chen Jingming, but Chen Jingming didn't give in at all. The two looked at each other. They were both young talents and smart people.Lu Ji wanted to kill Hao Chun, but Chen Jingming wanted to save Hao Chun wholeheartedly, neither of them would back down even an inch.

But Chen Jingming clearly had the upper hand in this round.

Under the watchful eyes of all the people, Lu Ji had no choice but to save Hao Chun.

Lu Ji gave a deep laugh, put his hands on the documents on the case, lifted them up after a while, and took out the military talisman from his arms. "Okay! Transfer three hundred armored soldiers to escort Mr. Chen into the Ugul camp."

"Ugul is next to the Cheshi Kingdom's camp," said a tooth general next to him, with a heavy expression on his face. "In case the negotiation fails, Mr. Chen only brings three hundred troops, which may not be enough."

Lu Ji gritted his teeth and stared at the talking tooth general. "In the face of the great enemy, three hundred is the most numerous."

Chen Jingming curled his lips quietly, raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Since the enemy is at hand, as an envoy, I dare not ask for more."

Everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at him.

Chen Jingming said quietly: "Your official would like to enter the enemy's camp alone."

There seemed to be a moment of silence in the audience, and when everyone held their breath, Lu Ji's sneer was particularly piercing. "Master Chen is serious?"

Chen Jingming raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Well, since ancient times, a gentleman has made a promise."

Lu Ji sneered as he pressed his soldier talisman. "How confident are you that you dare to speak such wild words in the military camp?"

Chen Jingming pulled up his clothes and stood up, his thin lips curled up slightly. "If you can't bring Lord Hou back this trip, and put this head on the neck of the next official, then... don't worry about it!"
