Chapter 10 Chapter 10: Small Boat(10)

The old man still kowtowed, like a frightened child who knew he had made a mistake, not daring to raise his head. "Master Ye, what's the matter?" Xi Yan saw something strange, and asked the soldiers who escorted him. "Probably stupid, that's how it was when he was caught out of the stable. He has a letter of decree issued by the royal family on his body, so he knows his name." The soldier replied. "Master Ye, please look up for me." Xi Yan said. The soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Ye Zhengshu's gray hair, forcing him to raise his head and face Xi Yan.The old man stared at Xi Yan in horror, roaring in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, or like a wild beast moaning helplessly after being captured.His face was covered with mud, the corners of his dirty eyes had been accumulated for an unknown amount of time, and two lines of snot were drooping. He convulsed with his breath, making it disgusting to look at.

Xi Yan nodded, and stopped the soldiers: "It's Lord Ye. I had a relationship with him once in the emperor. I heard that Ying Wuyi entered the imperial capital, and Lord Ye was not good at defending. He knew that his guilt was heavy, so he dared not return." The imperial capital accepted the crime and instead served in Ying Wuyi's army. I didn't expect to become like this." Bai Yi was silent for a while, knowing that this prisoner could not bring any useful news.He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to take Ye Zhengshu down. "General, when he was captured, he said he wanted to find his daughter." The soldiers did not retreat.

"Daughter?" Bai Yi was taken aback. "We asked him at the time, and he said that his daughter was lost and was serving the princess, so we immediately brought him to see the general, but he was probably frightened now and couldn't tell." "Princess?" Bai Yi was surprised. Originally, there should only be two princesses in Shangyang Pass, either Ying Wuyi's eldest daughter, Princess Li Guoyu, or Princess Xiaozhou of Chu Wei Kingdom that Ying Wuyi brought as a hostage from the imperial capital. "Which camp did you find him?" Bai Yi asked the soldiers.

Xi Yan smiled wryly. "In a stable over there in the Fourth North Battalion," said the soldier. With a whip, Bai Yi turned around and was about to leave, but found that Xi Yan beside him was motionless like a wooden man and wooden horse, with a weird smile on his face.He froze for a moment, tightened the reins, and looked back at Xi Yan: "Aren't you coming with me?" Xi Yan spread his hands: "I haven't had time to tell you that before we came out to patrol the city, I got information that we found clues to the princess in the Fourth North Battalion." Bai Yi was shocked and stared at Xi Yan.

"So I sent out my nephew at that time, and asked Prince Qingyang of Beilu to lead fifty fast horses to pick him up." Xi Yan smiled to himself, "But there was no delay at all." "You!" Bai Yi waved the whip in his hand, pointed at Xi Yan's nose, anger rose in his eyes, "You didn't tell me?" "According to the original agreement between our two families, Princess Xiaozhou is the proton of our country." Xi Yan shrugged slightly, "It's like your daughters have married into my family, of course it should be the husband's family to lead her, you are a father No matter how anxious you are, I, the father-in-law, should take the lead."

Bai Yi's face was livid, he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say a word, he could only stare at Xi Yan, as if he wanted to see a hole in this rascal old friend.Xi Yan was calm, as if he hadn't noticed his anger at all, turned his head with his cigarette stick in his mouth, and looked up at the sky. Headed by Xiyuan, the cavalry galloped around the corner.They came in a hurry, and the wind caused a cloud of dust in the street. The half of the team behind had to cover their faces with their arms to avoid choking and blinding their eyes.Lu Guichen followed Xiyuan with his horse, not knowing where he was going.He only knew that this was a very secret mission. He had no errand at all, but he was taking care of Ji Ye who could not afford to be seriously injured at the garrison of the supply camp. He set off, but didn't say where he was going.At the time of departure, Xiyuan ordered the fifty fine cavalry transferred from the personal barracks to remove the golden chrysanthemum military emblem on their shoulders, and they did not carry the black banner of Xiyan like they did in the past. In the eyes of outsiders, this cavalry team is just It's just a team of well-equipped Xiatang warriors.

Lu Guichen glanced at Xiyuan's muscular cheeks, and grasped the handle of Yingyue's knife at his waist.Two days after Shangyang pass was broken, the armies erupted in a burst of jubilation only when Su Yuanlang fell from the city wall and landed heavily on the city wall. After entering the city, the generals did not celebrate, and the soldiers did not relax. The coalition forces fighting side by side were again divided into the divided camps of various countries, reorganized their ordnance supplies, and treated a large number of wounded, without much contact with each other.There is a faint gap in the busy calm.Suddenly dispatched at this time, Lu Guichen's heart was full of speculations, he was no longer the kid playing the flute sitting among the yellow flowers on the grassland, and he also understood the incompatibility between countries.
