Chapter 514: The female prime minister who followed the army
The wheels ran over the uneven official road, and the carriage kept shaking, and the sound of horse hooves came from outside the shaking heavy curtains.
Zhao Duan slowly calmed down his surging aura, lowered his eyes and looked at the scarlet red flashing across the surface of the dark red armor, thinking.
The day before leaving the capital, the Red Flame Saint Armor was finally "recharged".
Although there was no actual test, compared with the two richness of the armor in King Heng and his hands, Zhao Duan judged that this holy object of Zoroastrian 600 years ago had returned to its peak.
"Just one full blood recharge, it almost consumes all the reserved assets. This thing must be saved and will never be used unless it saves your life." "However, this thing is combined with the Black Turtle Seal, and the two gods of water and fire came together. According to the answer given by Pei Niannu, some wonderful changes should occur." Zhao Duan thought.
Yes, he successfully pried out information about the holy armor from Pei Niannu - but it was not the golden armor Pei Niannu in the "Six Chapters".
But it is the silver armor Pei Niannu in "The Great Dream Scroll".
During these days, he sometimes meditated and practiced the "Da Dream Scroll", and sneaked into the era of the Tianshou Year of the Daqi Dynasty six hundred years ago, in the way of sleepwalk.
After the last time in my dream, Zhao Duan waited in the village and town to Pei Niannu to accept disciples. During this period, he pushed the progress bar forward a lot.
No surprise, he became Pei Niannu's disciple in his dream, and then followed her to walk around the world.
"Pei Niannu in the dream is not the 'the number one female sorcerer in the world', and her cultivation is also in the world, corresponding to the silver-faced armor. At the same time, she is a bit similar to Lao Xu in the Martial God Picture, and her "intelligence" is far less than that in the Six Chapters of Sutra... and the memories of the two Pei Niannu do not overlap.
Well, if you make a metaphor, it is like the same account of the two servers of the game, and the data is not interoperable... But the gameplay is similar. The content of the Da Mengci is very similar to the Martial God Picture, and it is also a journey.
However, the focus of the Martial God Picture is on practice. Lao Xu took me from the desert, through the snowfield, and to the East China Sea, and cultivated my mind and martial arts all the way...
But the Great Dream Cook focuses on seeing and hearing. Although Pei Niannu also guided me some of the sorcerers' practice, the levels were very shallow. She was more like a leader, taking me around and seeing different lives...
Is this the true meaning of the name of the realm of the "world"? "
Zhao Duan sat cross-legged in the carriage and was distracted. When he tried his best to recall the content of the dream, he found that the relevant memories faded quickly. He only remembered that he followed Pei Niannu and encountered members of the "Zoroastrianism" in the world.
As for the follow-up... he had to wait for the next time to fall asleep.
"Step by step, haste will not reach it. How many monks in the world are there? There are only four heavenly beings, which shows how difficult it is to break through." Zhao Duan shook his head and put his practice aside. The carriage slowed down. A sound of 18 waves came from outside the curtain: "Sir, it's noon, should you stop eating?" "Stop." Zhao Duan tidied up his lower collar and hid the Red Flame Saint Armor in his clothes - as long as it doesn't pass through the qi, it will not "start itself."
...
…
The carriage stopped quickly.
Zhao Duan lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage and stepped on the muddy ground.
The breeze blows on the face, and the wind is covered with the fishy smell of mud and grass after the rain.
The scenery in front of you is quick and clear.
On both sides of the official road are deserted mountains and trees. It was late summer. The distance was full of green eyes. The thin clouds in the sky were smearing in the east and the west.
Zhao Du was in a convoy, with a small team, only two gray carriages in front and back. The front one was exclusively owned by Zhao Duan, and the back one was a bit special.
In addition, there were more than a dozen horse-riding guards accompanying them. These people were dressed in an ordinary manner, not surprisingly, like the entourage of a young man from a wealthy family. But if they carefully distinguished them, they had familiar faces.
Dakai enshrines more than a dozen court worship experts led by Tang Jinzhong and Song Jinxi.
The Northland swordsman Lang 18, the social terror girl Ji Yue who was born in the Thousand Islands of the East China Sea... are all in the queue.
The bulging luggage next to the saddle contains killing weapons such as swords, military bows and crossbows.
Eunuch Hai was not accompanied by his south because the empress had other arrangements. The brocaded men of Lihuatang were not suitable for participating in such a war, so Zhao Duan was left in the capital to guard his house.
But he certainly has more than that.
Behind the Zhao Duan convoy, he slowly followed two armies of tens of thousands of people from Shenji Camp and Wujun Camp from afar. The soldiers' ranks and food supplies stretched for more than ten miles.
However, Zhao Duan thought it was too eye-catching to follow the army. Tens of thousands of troops marched, how powerful was it?
In contrast to sitting in the military camp and waiting for the scouts in the army to send out news from the outside world, he prefers to take the initiative to get a real understanding of the situation on the front line. "Sir, sit here."
Song Jin, the court envoy who is very good at assassination, smiled and moved a small stool and placed it on the flat open space. Xiao Song was a person with eyesight. "I'll take people to find firewood." Tang Jinzhong, who is calm and indifferent, silently leads people into the forest, looking for dry firewood, and burying the pot to make rice in place.
Lang Shiba, who was unshaven, looked like a swordsman in the wind, grabbed the forage and fed the horse, leaned against the shaft of the carriage and pulled the plug of the wine gourd, and drank it silently.
Jiyue, who was wet and black hair was dispersed, and her pupils turned white. He got off the horse, walked silently into the corner, but was sitting on the chair by the big horse Golden Knife, Zhao Duan shouted: "Jiyue stays, get rid of the water vapor."
"...Oh." Jiyue, who was terrified in the society, floated back like a ghost, sat on a half-parted tree lying on the ground, and hugged her knees with both hands.
Following her as the center, the hissing water vapor rose, and the water vapor on the surrounding ground was quickly drained by her and became dry.
Jiyue held a ball of condensed water, and didn't know where to throw it away.
Sneaking at Lang Shiba who was going to the cottage in the forest, she pushed her hand and said a "slam" sound, the water ball disappeared out of thin air. The wine gourd placed on the shaft of the car suddenly shook, and it sank half a pound on the spot.
Jiyue hurriedly retracted her hand, hugged her knees, allowing her long hair to cover her face, and her white pupil's gaze looked out carefully through the gaps in her hair. "..." Zhao Duan pretended not to see it, and witnessed his entourage boiling water and making tea, and his eyes turned to the second carriage in the team.
The dark blue cloth curtain in the car was lifted up by a wooden Ruyi, revealing the three people in the spacious carriage.
Taoist nun Yuxiu sat cross-legged on the left, crossing her fingers, facing her lower abdomen, and raising her two thumbs. Her extremely light eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, becoming lively and vivid little by little.
She had a veil on her face, only her eyes were exposed.
The black hair tied up with a bun, the golden rope around her waist was loose, the simple and elegant Taoist robe was spotless, the two cuffs were pure white and pure, and it looked very beautiful with the green jade short sword around her waist.
Incompatible with the army that went on the expedition, or this "outpost" team.
She should be sitting on the big rock of Qinggeng Peak next to the flowing water of the mountain stream, surrounded by white deer and cranes, and Yuxiu is a Taoist nun with fairy spirit.
Correspondingly, on the left side of the jade sleeve, and in the innermost part of the carriage, a girl was asleep.
Jin Jian also changed into a plain Taoist robe. Because of her petite figure, she looked like a half-grown Taoist robe.
The face as big as a palm is crooked, and she is wearing a pair of glasses, sleeping in the dark, extremely solid. Even if the war starts immediately, the artillery fire in the Shenji Camp may not be able to wake up. "Um..."
Sense the sunshine coming from outside the curtain, the girl's princess wrinkled her nose and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Don't make noise", then turned in, raised her butt, and kicked one leg.
Zhao Duan: "..."
He moved his eyes and looked at the last person sitting directly opposite Yuxiu, his eyes became helpless:
"What am I talking about? The road outside is not as smooth as the capital, it is very bumpy. You are just a mortal, you can't stand it at all, but you don't listen and you have to follow us." Wearing a plain Confucian scholar's robe, thick black hair, covering it with a hat, Mochou, who was dressed in a neutral manner, looked listless and pale.
Pinching Mu Ruyi in his hand, biting her lip tightly, turning a deaf ear to Mr. Zhao's words, getting up first, and stepping off the carriage.
One step, two steps, three steps...
She suddenly turned her head, held the carriage with one hand, covered her mouth with the other, and bent her waist 90 degrees, facing the grass:
"Vomit..."
The "female prime minister" who was famous in the capital, the first female official in charge of the six palaces and the harem, was motion sickness!
Zhao Duan grinned in disgust, pinched a branch and stirred the burning fire in the temporary stone stove in front of him, shook his head and sighed.
If it is understandable that Yuxiu and Jin Jian join, then Mo Chou will temporarily join the army and follow the south, it will be a surprise.
According to Mo Chou's own statement:
Although Your Majesty has proposed marriage to the Zhao family, he has not yet gotten married. The status of the prince is only on paper, and the news is slowly transmitted. In addition, under the persistent "smear" of supporting the society, Zhao Duan is outside the capital. In many people's impression, he is still an extremely poor "traitorous minister".
So, in order to ensure that Zhao Duan can represent the empress's will, a double insurance needs to be added, and "Miss Mo" can represent the empress better than Zhao Duan in the local officialdom.
In addition, Mo Chou led the "Fengshan Team" all the way north, had contact with local officials from all over the country, and had better understanding of the situation.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
So, she recommended herself and asked to follow her.
But the empress really agreed!
…
"Mo Zhaorong, I want to remind you that we have entered Taicang Mansion and have reached the front line.
Going further, you may encounter rebels and fight at any time. The danger you will face at that time is not just a trivial matter such as motion sickness. It is still time to return to the palace now. "
Next to the fire, Zhao Duan looked at the female official who had vomited and his legs trembled. He helped Yuxiu to help the disabled Zhijian walk over, and gave sincere advice.
Mo Chou, who was pale-faced, sat on a small round stool, glared at him hard, and said a little exhausted: "Do you think I am a weak woman who can't bear the hardship and fears death? ! "
She was not lucky to be able to return to the capital from Luoshan.
Zhao Duan grinned and looked at Yuxiu sitting cross-legged by the fire: "You priest, you heard it. I have tried to testify to me in the future. I have persuaded her. She is going to die, so I don't blame me." "Wuliang Tianzun." The female Taoist nun said, looking at her nose and looking at her heart, and closing her eyes as if she was calm: "I am just walking with you, and your life and death have nothing to do with me."
It's so cold... You two can't get married if you say this... Oh, the one who sleeps in the car is also hard... Zhao Duan took out a brand new handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Mochou who was kneading his forehead:
"Wipe."
The latter looked at him in surprise, and his impression of him changed slightly. He took the handkerchief and said with a stern face:
"Governor Zhao is intent."
Zhao Duan pulled the fire with a branch, and said in disgusting tone:
"You're welcome, wipe it quickly, there's a little bit of a corner of his mouth, I look disgusting."
Mo Chou: "..."
Zhao Duan ignored the two women and called a entourage to get the map and spread it on the ground.
The journey I had been walking silently, and the branches in my hand were wrapped in black gray charcoal. I drew a circle somewhere on the map, raised my head, and looked at the front of the official road with a serious expression:
"According to the latest information, it should be the scope of the confrontation between the court and the rebels. Haha, I didn't expect that I would come to Taicang Mansion again, and this was the case."
A year ago, he came to Taicang Mansion to investigate the "Taicang Silver Mine" case, met the prefect Sun Xiaozhun, Mr. Zhengyang's disciple Song Juren and others, and arrested the governor Gao Lian to the case.
A year later, Taicang Mansion became the "bridgehead" of the "Western Front Battlefield".
On the map, you can clearly see that the entire Huai River is divided into two parts from south to north, and half of the east is occupied by King Jing.
Half of the west fell into King Mu's hands.
Almost all the Huai River Road has fallen into the hands of the vassal kings. Not only that, both sides also tried to explore their tentacles into the Linfengdao Realm.
There are two prefectures in Linfeng, east and west, and the Taicang prefectures in the west focus on commerce and economy.
The "Linfeng Prefecture City" in the east is the garrison of the General Administration and the Censorate, and is closer to the local military military troops in Linfeng.
Therefore, the combat power was stronger. When Xue Shence went south to Linfeng, he first went to the Eastern Front battlefield, led three thousand battalions to gather the troops of Linfeng Army Mansion, and repelled King Jing's army.
It was curbed within the Huai River and failed to enter the Linxian.
Correspondingly, the battlefield on the Western Front was not optimistic. The rebels under Yunfu's King Mu attacked Linfeng and captured a small territory.
If the news of the Empress's return had not been delivered in time, which would greatly boost local morale, the Yunfu rebels changed their strategy, changed from offense to defense, and swallowed and consolidated their territory, I am afraid that Taicang Mansion might not be able to maintain it.
Half a month ago, after stabilizing the Eastern Front, Xue Shence led some troops to assist the Western Front. Now he is using Taicang Fucheng as his garrison, fighting against the Yunfu rebels.
The above is the latest information obtained by Zhao Du'an on the way.
However, communication is difficult in this era, and he still doesn't know what the latest battle situation is.
…
"I read the information and now the one who is confronting the court is a general named Su Dan in Yunfu Road, nicknamed "Ju Ren General". He stationed troops in Ning'an County, and the area between Ning'an County and Taicang Prefecture City are all areas where both sides fight."
Mochou wiped off the vomit from his mouth. Although he was disgusted, he still came over and looked at the map and said.
Faced with the serious matter, the two tacitly put aside their "personal grudges" and did not bicker again. "Do you know this Su Dan?" Zhao Duan asked.
Military information is as precious as gold, and it does not record too much information that has nothing to do with the situation of the war.
Mo Chou nodded and said:
"When dealing with his Majesty in the past, he learned about this person's situation.
Su Dan was born in the side branch of the Su family in Qinghe. He liked to study since he was a child, but the road to the scientific examination was not smooth. After three times, he won the reputation of a juren. He was partly assigned to Yunfu to be a county magistrate.
At first, there was no special situation. Until a bandit incident, Su Dan was the first to be the county town where he was an official. He showed his strong ability to lead troops, led the soldiers in the county, cooperated with the border army, and defeated the border bandits with great performance.
But due to some official reasons, he was introduced to be a victim. The person who took the blame for the bandit incident was removed from his official position and became a white-handed person.
However, Zhao Shixiong, the commander of the Southwest Border Army, admired him quite well and intended to promote him, but intercepted the Huhun of the Prince Mu's mansion and became a retainer of the Prince's Mansion.
This time, he was sent to be a vanguard by King Mu. I think he didn't trust Zhao Shixiong so much, so he handed Ning'an County to Su Dan.
By the way, although this person is outstanding in military talent, he is especially good at defending cities and protecting the country and the people... But he likes literati and does not like others to call him a general, and he prefers to be called "Su Juren", which gives the nickname "Ju Ren". "
Zhao Du'an was surprised: "You understand quite well. What else do you know about the power of the Mu Prince's Mansion? "
Mo Chou was a little proud and said:
"I know a lot. For example, the assassin intelligence organization secretly trained by the Prince Mu's Mansion, "Embroidered Clothes Directly" is not as good as the secret spies of Prince Jing's Mansion in intelligence infiltration, and even worse than the royal shadow guards, but it has its own unique features in assassination..." Zhao Duan was listening with relish, and suddenly, his ears moved and he raised his head.
Seeing the worshipper Tang Jinzhong running from a distance, his face was serious: "Sir, there is something strange in front of you."
