Chapter 66: Stupid?

Xiao Mingchen lowered his face and looked at the adjutant general: "Deng Chi, what is going on?" You say carefully. "

Yes. Deng Chi beckoned the guards and maids to pick up the wind for their group, and handed over his hand: "King Zhao's recent attacks on Shouzhou City have been menacing, and I can only barely support it. The day before, the scout found traces of unknown soldiers and horses fifty miles outside the city. Our side has repeatedly sent small groups of people to investigate, but they have not returned. The adults suspected that King Zhao had deliberately sent people to confuse their sight, lest they had ulterior motives and did not want to continue to sit still, so they took people to go in person.

"It's really fatal. Xia Feng frowned and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Shouzhou, and who is in charge?"

"There are more than 30,000 people in the box. Deng Chi gave her a hand: "Before the lord leaves the city, he specially explained, and his subordinates will temporarily take charge of him during this period, waiting for His Royal Highness King Ning, and then all the big and small affairs in the city will be assigned by His Highness."

"Okay, you guys go out first. Xia Feng waved his hand casually to send everyone out, stuffed the hot tea into Xiao Mingchen's hand, and saw that everyone drank before he spoke: "This is not normal, Yan Lin may have an accident." You rest well, I'll take people out of town and see. "

This person who Deng Chi didn't know where he dug it from, his attitude was humble and respectful, and he obviously knew King Ning. Looking at Xiao Mingchen's familiar appearance, maybe it was his subordinate.

Therefore, Xia Feng was not worried about him staying alone in Shouzhou City, thinking of the situation in the clouds and fog outside the city and the ill-intentioned Wang Mao, but he was a little uneasy.

"Ah Feng. Xiao Mingchen bumped all the way, his face was very bad, looking at her firm eyebrows, a little reluctant, and he couldn't find a reason to open his mouth to keep it.

He gently hugged Xia Feng and whispered close to her ear: "Bring more people, be careful in everything." This place is too close to Shengjing, intricate and intricate, don't be careless.

"Silly? How to talk upside down. Rest assured. Xia Feng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, defiantly lowered his head and kissed the side of his slender neck, and turned away neatly.

Shouzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, extending in all directions, and Daqing passes through this place from north to south. Such a big central link, naturally there is no danger to guard.

Therefore, the previous commander made Wang Fu rely on the protection of the family Wang clan, while also currying favor with the Northwest Xia family. And Yan Lin only has the shaky backer of His Royal Highness King Ning, and his relationship with the Xia family is not close, and he naturally becomes a thorn in the eyes of all the princes.

In addition to the rotten corpses and the broken armor that Xia Feng saw along the way, it was lush grass and trees that seemed to grow forever. Not to mention Yan Lin, you can't even see a ghost shadow.

"Miss, we are just a dozen of them, and you are not afraid of encountering the enemy army to serve a pot? Qian Shan followed closely behind Xia Feng, obviously very opinionated about going out of the city, "Yan Lin's thief will definitely not die."

"I didn't go out of town to find him. Xia Feng took two mouthfuls of the water bladder, and looked at the gray and blue sky with cold eyes, "The Central Plains is full of crises, no more than the northwest, you have some rules here, don't mess around." Unable

to find anyone for a while, she simply sat down after she said it, and glanced at Qian Shan's unhappy cheeks: "What are you not happy about?" Yu Han hasn't come yet, I didn't delay you from falling in love, right?

"It's coming, he led the army to postponement, but it's only a matter of a few days." I was thinking of picking him up at the city gate. Qian Shan pouted, and also found a stone to sit next to him, "Miss, there are some things I don't know if I should say."

"Don't talk about it if you don't talk about it. Xia Feng faintly saw something, stood up and looked hard.

Qian Shan followed her to look at the unobstructed mountains in the distance, there was nothing, and she didn't know what she was looking at, and hesitated: "You... You are just brightly transferring our Xia family army to Shouzhou, are you not afraid that others will think that you want to seize power? Even if His Royal Highness King Ning would not be suspicious, what about his subordinates? What about Yan Lin? The three of them became tigers, and I always felt uneasy in my heart.

Xia Feng casually ordered a personal soldier to inquire about the situation in the front, turned around and smiled at her: "Yan Lin was afraid of me from the beginning. Did his jealousy, you say, affect me? Does he dare to say that I am not in front of King Ning, or does he dare to make a move against Xia Jiajun?

"But..." Qian Shan was speechless for a while, and hesitated for a long time to speak: "There are thousand-day thieves, and there are no thousand-day thieves, I am always worried that someone will be unfavorable to you."

Xia Feng could hear what she meant.

Whether Xia Guogong or Fan Pu, they all have their own ideas and goals.

They had various opinions on the marriage of Xia Feng and Xiao Mingchen, but in the end, they all turned to support the two because King Ning coincided with their ideals. In their hearts, the righteousness of the family and country has always been greater than all private interests, and this marriage is exactly in the interests of the family and country.

But Qian Shan was different, she wouldn't think about so many empty and distant truths, she was simply worried about Xia Feng.

"I know, you definitely don't like to hear the words of the cunning rabbit dead lackey cooking, you believe that His Royal Highness King Ning is not that kind of person. Qian Shan continued, "But under the melon field and Li, no one can guarantee the thoughts of others. You are not a good person, and sometimes you offend people without knowing it. Now that we go deep into Jiangnan, if something really happens, we can't prevent it.

Xia Feng chuckled at her, and his eyes turned to ridicule: "When did you become so verbose?"

"You. Seeing her like this, Qian Shan knew that she had said something in vain, and turned her head and stopped taking care of people.

After a long silence, the soldiers who had gone to investigate returned, and the sound of 'clicking' horses' hooves gradually became clear. Xia Feng suddenly said, "Don't worry, I don't believe anyone except our own people." "

The soldiers not only came back by themselves, but also brought back a person by the way.

It was the goal of their trip, Yan Lin.

Yan Lin was wrapped in a dirty coarse linen coat, and his sleeves were missing, and he looked like he hadn't eaten enough for three days.

Seeing that Xia Feng was a little excited, he limped forward to salute: "Shuai, you are finally here." But His Highness has also arrived, all the way?

"Well, better than you." Xia Feng looked him up and down, his face full of disgust: "This gray-headed one, is it a rabbit hunt all over the mountains?" Lord Yan.

"A few days ago, there were unknown soldiers and horses outside the city. His subordinates were worried that it was Xiao Jing who made a moth, so they led their troops out of the city to patrol, not wanting to collide with them head-on. This group of people are dressed in black and black-armored, there are about thousands of people, and it is impossible to see which side it is. Yan Lindao, "They moved extremely quickly, cooperated very tacitly, and their combat effectiveness was by no means comparable to that of ordinary armies in the Central Plains.

"How did you escape?" Xia Feng frowned.

"His subordinates fell off a cliff in a fight, were washed away by running water, were rescued by a reclusive farmer in the mountains, and luckily saved a life. Yan Lin held the arm of the soldier on his side and barely stood firm, "This group of people is not like the Central Plains, but they go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and they will inevitably come badly." "

Except for black clothes and black armor, are there no other characteristics?" Qian Shan asked, "What is a weapon, and what are the rules for shooting?" What are the characteristics of physiognomy?

"They were covered in black towels, and their faces were indistinguishable. Yan Lin thought carefully, "Weapons... It seems to be a long knife, and a crossbow. We were attacked suddenly, and we didn't have time to react, so we didn't know what the rules were.

"Where exactly was it attacked?" Xia Feng's eyes were cold in an instant, "I'll take a look." "

Under a low slope one mile west of Shounan Official Road. It can be vaguely seen from here. It is below that mountain, and not far south of it is the official road. Yan Lin raised his finger to the eastern hillside, "Shouzhou is south, now it's only late autumn, the trees are thick, they are hiding in the forest, it is difficult for others to notice."

Xia Feng stared at the leafy slopes, the Central Plains were fertile and wild, there were generally no high mountains, only a half-tall and half-low hillside stretching in groups.

"Qianshan," she turned her head and ordered, "you take someone to send Lord Yan back to the city, and I will go over to find out the situation."

"Okay. Qian Shan was extremely dissatisfied and reluctantly asked: "Miss, the Qiang people don't use long knives, do you think they are He people?"

"It's hard to say, I only know after reading it." Xia Feng clenched the sword in his hand, "No matter who it is, the Central Plains Jiangshan is not something they should covet. Xia

Feng was afraid of the alien soldiers and horses who did not know the depth in front of him, and only the highest powerful wind was left beside him, and the others were all sent back.

The two of them, fearing to alarm the enemy, did not ride horses, and quietly blended into the shade of the trees.

A few thousand people and horses is not a small number, and since it is determined that people are hiding in the mountains, it is impossible not to leave traces. The two went up the stream and found more and more extinguished fires, leftover animal bones, but no one was visible.

Xia Feng handed Li Feng a look, and the two looked for it separately.

She searched everywhere, found no clues, jumped up, stood tall on a branch, closed her eyes and listened.

The rustle of leaves blown by the wind reached his ears, and Xia Feng carefully distinguished every subtle sound in the air. After a long time, jump off the branch.

Beside a few huge rocks on the side of the hillside, two men in black stood behind them, scanning the surroundings from time to time. The beasts roared, the birds chirped, mixed with the footsteps of Sisso, and several men in black were patrolling back and forth.

Their patrolling footsteps were soft, their necks stiff and flexible, and they kept scanning their surroundings. A few people merged with the trees, as if they were mountain beasts, more cautious than hungry wolves who went out to feed.

Xia Feng hid in the tree, silently following a small group of people who changed defenses.

The men zigzagged along the rugged path in the woods, destroying no bushes, and their footprints could not even be detected without careful observation.

Over the slopes, it overlaps with several other mountains, forming an empty valley in between. Xia Feng hid in a high place, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The fences around the valley are orderly, like a large school of soldiers and horses.

The black-pressed people below were practicing in an orderly manner.

She didn't even need to count carefully, and with a casual glance, she could deduce that there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses hoarded here.
