203 Guilty(1/3)
Yuanbao truthfully conveyed Qin Yao's words to Chu Lingxiao at the entrance of the camp, and also added jealousy to his expression and tone appropriately.
"Marty, the villain won't send him to the Marquis."
Finally, he added a sarcastic sentence, and once he brushed his sleeves, he threw Chu Lingxiao and turned around and left.
Only Chu Lingxiao, who was riding on a white horse, stood alone at the gate of the camp, with a blue face, a white one, and a true purple one, and a wonderful change of colors. He had never suffered such contempt in his life!
Yuanbao walked forward with his head held high, and casually told a young general beside him: "The prince is busy with military affairs, so don't bother the prince in the future if he says such trivial matters."
"..." Chu Lingxiao's face became even more ugly when he heard this.
He subconsciously drove his horse forward and took a step forward. The next moment, two Northwest soldiers guarding the gate of the camp crossed the spears in their hands, blocking his way.
One of the soldiers said coldly: "The trespasser will die in the military camp!"
His voice was so cold that it almost fell out of ice. Chu Lingxiao had no doubt that if he continued to move forward, the spear in his hand would stab him fiercely.
Chu Lingxiao's expression stiffened and took another step back, his eyes gloomy and unstable.
He has been in the northwest for nearly half a month.
He came by the emperor's order and was the imperial envoy. He originally thought that the prince of Nanyang King Qin Yao would not dare to neglect him, so he would coax him and hold him, hoping that he would successfully succeed in the emperor's title in the future.
As a result, when he came to Nanyang, he was slapped in the face by Qin Yao.
Qin Yao was so arrogant that he didn't accept the order at all, ignored him, and just left him in the inn. This time, Qin Yao actually stopped him outside the military camp again!
From this point of view, Qin Yao is indeed guilty!
In the past half month, he has investigated Qin Yao's reputation in the northwest and tried to contact some Northwest Army soldiers. All of these soldiers were hesitant, obviously they were speechless.
Chu Lingxiao was already 80% sure that he could be convinced that Yao killed his father and brother, so Qin Yao did not dare to see him, for fear that he would investigate, find out the truth, and expose his true face.
Not only that, he did not allow himself to meet the Princess of Nanyang.
It is said that after Qin Xuan's death, the Princess of Nanyang never left the Nanyang Palace again. I'm afraid she was under house arrest by Qin Yao.
The accompanying servant looked at Chu Lingxiao's ugly face and said carefully: "Mr. Marquis..."
Chu Lingxiao's reaction was to pull the horse rope, and he turned his direction unwillingly, leaving a word: "Go!"
At this time, a sound of uniform steps came from behind. Four northwest soldiers who handed over the shift came, and the two sides connected the slogan of handing over the shift.
The four words "Thunder and Thunder" drifted into Chu Lingxiao's ears in front of him with the wind.
Chu Lingxiao thought about it and had an idea, his eyes lit up.
Chu Lingxiao grabbed the horse's belly and rode his horse along a road in front of the military camp gate. However, he did not leave. Instead, he got a set of Northwest Army armor, but he walked around the back door of the camp and entered the military camp with a swaggering command to hand over the shift.
For fear that someone would see that there was something wrong with his legs and feet, he did not dare to get off the horse until there was no one else and hid the horse first.
As the genius was dawn, the camp was empty at this moment, and the thunderous shouts and training sounds of the soldiers were faintly heard from the direction of the schoolyard.
Chu Lingxiao knew that this was the time for the Northwest Army to train, and most of the soldiers should be practicing on the school ground. This was the weakest period for the guards in the camp, which was convenient for him to take a risk.
Chu Lingxiao looked around the surrounding deserted camp, and his eyes fell on the central camp ahead.
He didn't know where Qin Yao was now, but the biggest possibility was the Central Camp or the Schoolyard.
He gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He walked towards the central camp. But after he was bypassing a tent, he saw a patrol team of seven or eight people walking towards him. The sound was only two or three feet apart.
Chu Lingxiao was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He hurriedly hid in a nearby tent, and there was no one in the tent.
He held his breath and waited for the patrol outside to walk away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Lingxiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his cuffs, and pretended to be calm and told himself that he was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. Even if he was discovered by the Northwest Army, it was not a big deal. Unless Qin Yao had the courage to rebel, he would not dare to do anything to him.
But if he could find anything in the northwest, it would be enough for him to make great contributions.
Humph, he wants to see what military affairs Qin Yao is doing!
Chu Lingxiao sorted out his robe, walked out of the camp, and walked towards the central camp. His left leg was lame and weak. Even if he used all his strength, his steps were still different from ordinary people, and he was a little staggering. Fortunately, he did not meet the patrol again along the way.
After walking for a while, Chu Lingxiao was sweating all over and tiptoed to the rear of the Central Camp.
At this time, Yuanbao came out of the tent and sent a guard guard at the door of the tent: "Let the kitchen cook a bowl of chicken shredded three mushroom noodles for the guests."
The defenders hurriedly walked away.
On the one hand, Chu Lingxiao sighed secretly that he was lucky, but on the other hand, a question arose in his heart: Who is the distinguished guest?
Chu Lingxiao put his ear on the camp and tried to eavesdrop, but he couldn't hear it at all. He could only approach the curtain and get closer...
When he moved to a place less than three feet away from the door curtain, he finally heard some sound floating faintly from behind the curtain.
"...In my opinion, I may not have to take down Feng Miguo, so how about starting with Bingzhou Wei?"
The young male voice was careless, not talking about fighting, but about where to go.
Bang bang!
Chu Lingxiao's heartbeat immediately accelerated and he thought to himself: Who is this voice? What does it mean to start from Bingzhou? Is Qin Yao really going to rebel?!
This is a major event that concerns the safety of the entire Daqi!
Chu Lingxiao's eyes widened, and his palms were even wet with sweat.
Another cold male voice rang out: "The General of Bingzhou Guards is about to return to Beijing to report his work. He has been in Bingzhou for six years, so it should be time to open a place."
Chu Lingxiao clenched his fists.
The Nanyang Palace has been guarding the northwest for generations, which is an exception for the Great Qi Dynasty. The generals who guard the states generally have a term of three years, and at most six years. The emperor is also afraid that the generals will be respectful, so he will usually change the territory of the generals in 30 or 6 years.
Could it be that Qin Yao wanted to send troops to attack Bingzhou while the new Bingzhou general was not yet firmly in his position?
etc!
Chu Lingxiao frowned, feeling that the second male voice sounded familiar, and seemed to have heard it somewhere.
The first frivolous male voice said again: "Bingzhou is a good place. As long as you hold Bingzhou in your palm, you can connect the northwest and north from this direction. At that time, you can attack and retreat or defend, and even if you become a king, it will not be a problem."
"Brother Jiu, I'll just listen to me and choose Bingzhou."
Brother Jiu?! These two words hit Chu Lingxiao's heart like a hammer.
Suddenly, his heart was lit up and he understood why he felt that the second voice sounded familiar.
He had heard the second voice in the capital, which was King Chen Gu Jue.
How come Gu Jue is here?!
Shouldn’t Gu Jue be in the capital? The clan of the Great Qi ancestors was forced to leave the capital without any intention. This is a death sentence!
Bang bang bang bang!
Chu Lingxiao's heartbeats faster, like a drumbeat.
When the news of Qin Yao killing his father reached the capital, Gu Jue defended Qin Yao several times, saying that the case had not been investigated yet. At that time, Chu Lingxiao also guessed that the relationship between the two was unusual. Now, Qin Yao kept calling out to Brother Jiu, it can be seen that they had indeed had a long time ago and intended to conspire to rebel!
This is a sin to add to sin!
Chu Lingxiao was frightened just thinking about it, feeling like he was trapped in a dragon's den.
Before he came to the northwest, he felt that Qin Yao was at most killing his father and brother, but he didn't expect that he would dare to collude with Gu Jue to rebel.
Chu Lingxiao held his breath and silently took a step back, another step.
"Damn it."
He stepped on a dead tree with one foot and made a subtle sound.
The person in the tent immediately shouted: "Who?!"
Chu Lingxiao was scared and sweated coldly. He quickly took a few steps back. After hiding in the tent, his heart instantly raised his throat and thought to himself that something was wrong.
The curtain was quickly beaten up, and a purple figure walked out quickly.
Chu Lingxiao became even more nervous. When he thought he was about to be discovered, he saw a yellow cat jumping past the other side with light steps and running fast.
The young man in purple was relieved and smiled and said to a moon white figure who walked out of the tent: "Brother Jiu, he is just a cat in the kitchen. Do you want to go to the schoolyard to take a look!"
Chu Lingxiao stared at the Yuebai figure and bit his teeth tightly.
It's indeed Gu Jue!
Then, there is no need to say about the identity of another person.
Gu Jue responded, "Okay", and the two walked towards the schoolyard.
Chu Lingxiao looked at the backs of the two of them gradually distant and finally let go of half of his heart, but his temples were already wet, as if they were fished out of the water.
He must leave here as soon as possible.
After a cup of tea, Chu Lingxiao rode his horse out from the back door of the camp again, and his heart was still pounding.
"Let's go back to the station first."
After Chu Lingxiao met with the servant guarding outside the camp, the two rode their horses and left the Northwest Camp as fast as possible.
He planned to go back to the post station first, take the people he accompanied, and immediately rushed back to the capital.
Chu Lingxiao rode his horse all the way and raised his hand to touch his chest. Until now, his heartbeat was extremely fast, a little excited and a little uneasy.
He must return to Beijing quickly.
To be continued...
