Chapter 119 Who will save me

After the sun set, the sky remained Qingming for a long time before it was replaced by the night.

A high hillside made the team light a bonfire and set up a tent here.

The female family did not get out of the car, and slept in the carriage wrapped in a thin blanket. Xu Qi'an and other senior officials stayed in the tent, while the guards on the bottom floor slept around the bonfire.

Fortunately, in the mid-spring season, it is neither cold nor hot at night, and the wind blows, which is quite comfortable.There are more mosquitoes, and I like these strong fat sheep very much.

The sound of slap continued to sound, and the soldiers cursed and drove away the mosquitoes.

When Xu Qi'an came back from patrol, he saw this scene and found that the team did not prepare mosquito repellent herbs in the team. At most, some golden sore medicines to treat injuries and commonly used antidote pills.

As for mosquito repellent herbs, they can't be that fine.

Why are there so many mosquitoes?Dali Temple Chief, wearing a white single robe, came out of the tent and complained:

The buzzing of insects in my ears, how can I sleep?

Being pampered and having a good life is a common problem for civil servants. Although there were shaking and bumpy on the boat earlier, they were all small problems. I endured it.

It is much harder to go on land, without a big bed, a coffee table, and a delicate food. You have to endure mosquito bites.

When the two censors heard the complaints of the Dali Temple Chief, they immediately came out to agree, and looked sad: It is hard to be beaten, it is hard to be beaten.

At this time, it seemed so stupid that Xu Qi'an's proposal was. If they did not change the land route, they were still floating in the water, sleeping in a soft big bed and resting in a separate room.

Chu Xianglong, who has copper and iron bones, is not afraid of mosquito bites, and he sneered: Since he chose to take the land route, he naturally has to bear the corresponding consequences.We have only been walking for a day, and it is still time to divert the way.

Xu Qi'an took out a handful of special spices and whispered: I have deworming spices here. Take a piece and throw it into the bonfire to drive away mosquitoes.

The soldiers were overjoyed and received spices from Xu Qi'an as required and threw them into the bonfire.

The spices burned slowly in the flames, and a slightly pungent fragrance spread. After a moment, there were indeed no mosquitoes around.

Haha, there are really no mosquitoes, comfortable.

Now I can sleep with peace of mind, thanks to Lord Xu.

Around the bonfires, the soldiers were not stingy with their praise.Xu Yinluo's spices solved their immediate troubles. After no mosquito bites, they felt comfortable.

The sense of happiness starts with these small treatments. If the official leader changes, he will definitely not care about the little worries of these lower-level soldiers.

I won’t think that if I don’t sleep well at night, I will be tired tomorrow and have to rush to the road... If there is a vicious cycle, it will lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the entire team.

The soldiers' sense of happiness increases, and it will also be fed back to the leaders, and they will become more respectful and recognized.

For example, Xu Qi'an proposed to change the route and take a more difficult land route. The entire team complained in private, but not including the hundred imperial guards, they had no complaints at all.

This is identification.

The two censors and Dali Temple Chief asked for a piece of spice and went back to the tent to light it with an incense burner. The mosquito repellent effect was immediate, and indeed no longer heard the buzzing sound.

Lord Xu has even prepared such a gadget. He is worthy of being a master of case solving and has a delicate mind.

The censor of the Censorate came out of the tent and praised it.

In the carriage not far away, the maids smelled a faint fragrance and said happily: This smell is quite pleasant, let's get some to burn and repel mosquitoes.

What are you going to take? Xu Yinluo and General Chu are having a conflict. Don’t be bored at this time.Another maid said.

No, Xu Yinluo has a good personality and is particularly gentle to us women.The maid said.

Sneak... I'm talking about General Chu. We are from the royal palace, so we have to know what we know.No matter how good Xu Yinluo is, we cannot forget our identity, do you understand?

It's Ah, and I heard that it was Xu Yinluo who had to change the land route, so we worked so hard, really.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other maids despise Xu Yinluo, and they hate to say it all the time.

The princess curled up in the corner and sneered disdainfully.

These brainless maids have as short-sighted eyes as toads, and can only see the mosquitoes flying in front of them.

Although she was tired, she also doubted whether it was really dangerous to cross the water, and she also doubted Xu Qi'an's judgment.But she firmly supports Xu Qi'an's decision.

It is better to endure some hardship and suffer a little more than to encounter danger.

……

The Dali Temple Chief lifted the curtain of the tent, looked at Xu Qi'an, who was sitting with the soldiers, and asked: How confident is Lord Xu?

He was referring to the ambush on the waterway, and he tactfully reminded Xu Qi'an to consider the bet.

After all, he was ruthless, and Dali Temple Chief and Xu Qi'an had no hatred and did not like him. The main reason was that Dali Temple Minister and Xu Qi'an had a great grudge. As the official who made money by Dali Temple Minister, he had to sit upright.

Where did I get the confidence? Letting Yang Yan step on the trap is a test itself... Xu Qian shook his head slightly and didn't say anything.

A censor said: If you stop counting the time, Yang Jinluo should also arrive at Liushitan. I believe he already knows whether there is an ambush.When will he meet us?

Xu Qi'an said: I have a secret code along the way, and he will follow him.

With Jin Luo's footsteps, he followed the secret code and it didn't take long.At the latest tomorrow morning, you may be able to catch up tonight as early as tomorrow.

Chu Xianglong and several civil servants remained silent, each with their own thoughts, waiting for Yang Yan's arrival.

Half an hour later, everyone fell asleep, and the snoring sounds were like frogs croaking one after another.

Xu Qi'an didn't sleep. He took a dead branch and wrote and painted on the ground, pondering how he should investigate the case after going to the northern border.

After finding out the case, how should we bring the evidence back to the capital without disturbing the King of Zhenbei?

The most troublesome thing about this matter is that he has no choice but to do anything to King Zhenbei, but it is easy for King Zhenbei to do to him.

It is understandable that Dali Temple Chief and his colleagues have a negative attitude towards the case. They probably want to go through the motions and then go back to the capital to report... The bloody massacre of three thousand miles, but there is no refugee. This is unreasonable... I have to observe carefully this way north and plunge to the north. That is what a fool can do.

Chu Xianglong firmly opposed me to take the land route, so he might not have no considerations in this regard. He wanted me to arrive directly at the northern border, but when I arrived at the northern border, I became a puppet that everyone could control.

Want to investigate the case privately?

dream.

With a lot of thoughts, he suddenly caught a wave of energy and came from a distance.

Xu Qian suddenly stood up, his right hand was faster than his brain, and he pressed the handle of the black gold sword.

On the other side, Chu Xianglong also opened his eyes with a sharp look.

The two of them did not communicate with each other, but looked to the south together. In the dark night, a figure slowly walked towards him, carrying a silver spear, which was Yang Yan.

The moment he saw him, Xu Qi'an and Chu Xianglong showed their own nervousness and expectations.

The former bent down and picked up the water bag, went up to him, and said: Boss, how is the situation?

Yang Yan took the water bag, drank it dry in one breath, and said in a deep voice: There is a dragon lying in Liushitan, and the ship sank.

Sure enough, there was an ambush. Is it really a fear that Murphy's Law is universal in the universe... Xu Qi'an's heart sank, and in the end the luck disappeared.

Is there really an ambush?!

Chu Xianglong held the hilt tightly, and the bonfire reflected the slightly contracted pupils.

Lead, please sit down first, I will call the Sansi people over, and they should listen together to understand the situation.Xu Qi'an asked Yang Yan to sit down by the bonfire, and handed over the package containing dry food.

Then, he entered the tent one by one, awakening the Censor, the Dali Temple Chief and the Ministry of Justice Chen.

Captain Chen crawled out of the tent and saw Yang Yan. Without thinking, he asked a little urgently: Yang Jinluo, did he encounter an ambush?

The two censors and Dali Temple Chief stared at Yang Yan.

There is an ambush on Liushitan and the ships sank. If we do not change our route, we will definitely be wiped out today.Yang Yan's face was solemn.

There is really an ambush, there is really an ambush... The Dali Temple Chief's heart sinks into the bottom of the valley.

completely annihilated?The two censors' expressions changed slightly. They suddenly looked at Xu Qi'an and bowed: Thanks to Lord Xu's alertness, they judged the ambush in advance, so that we could escape the disaster.

Chief Chen from the Ministry of Justice looked at Xu Qi'an with admiration, and he was convinced by this immediate boss's enemy.

We went to the tent and said.The Dali Temple Chief suggested.

Xu Qi'an nodded, called Chen Xiao who had already woken up, and ordered: Don't sleep tonight, everyone should be energetic and inspect it well.

Chen Xiao listened to the whole process, understood the seriousness of the matter, and nodded with a serious expression: Don't worry, sir.

Xu Qi'an immediately followed everyone into the tent.

……

The princess curled up in the corner of the carriage was awakened by the noise of footsteps, the sound of armor collisions, and the sound of discussion.

The maids in the same car had woken up and watched by the window.

What happened with such noisyness in the middle of the night?

Didn’t you sleep well just now?Why did you go out for inspection suddenly?

The princess felt a stern heart, lifted the thin blanket, rubbed her eyes, and pushed open the carriage door, and jumped out of the carriage carefully.

She caught a team of imperial guards who were about to go out for inspection and asked: What are you doing?

The soldier in front looked at her a few times and said: Yang Jinluo is back. It is said that he was ambushed in Liushitan and the ship sank.

A soldier behind added: If Lord Xu hadn't changed his course, we would have been completely ruined today.

The princess was shocked and felt a strong sense of fear.

There was really an ambush, it was for me... Fortunately, he was there, and fortunately he reacted early... She patted her chest, and at this moment, a strong sense of security surged.

The ordinary princess took a deep breath and turned back to the carriage.

You asked, are you? What's wrong with them?The maids quickly asked.

There was an ambush on the waterway and the ship sank.The princess said lightly.

In the carriage, screams of exclamations were everywhere, and the maids showed a look of fear.

Why are there ambush?Why ambush us...

Huh... Fortunately, Mr. Xu took us on land early.

Muttering sounds were everywhere, and the maids were talking.

The princess wrapped in a thin blanket, curled up in the corner, hugged her shoulders, and shivered slightly.

She felt the cold in the dark night, the cold from the heart.

Who will save me...
