Chapter 350

After the sun set, the sky remained dark for a long time, and then it was replaced by night.

A high-lying hillside, where the mission team lit a bonfire, set up tents.

The female dependents 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 bodyguards on the ground floor slept around the campfire.

Fortunately, in the middle of spring, the night is neither hot nor cold, and the wind blows, which is quite comfortable. It's just that there are more mosquitoes and they like these strong "fat sheep".

"Pa pa" sound continued to ring, soldiers scolded to drive away mosquitoes.

When Xu Qi'an came back from his inspection tour and saw this scene, he knew that there was no herbal medicine to repel mosquitoes in the mission team. At most, he would reserve some wound healing drugs and commonly used detoxification pills.

As for the herbal medicine for mosquito repellent, it is not so delicate.

"Why are there so many mosquitoes?" Wearing a single white dress, the Dali Temple official came out of the tent and complained:

"his ears are buzzing with insects. How can he sleep? How can he sleep?"

It's a common problem for civil servants to maintain their dignity and treat them well. Earlier on, on the ship, although there were some bumps and shakes, they were all minor problems, so I had to bear with them.

It's a lot harder to walk on land. There are no big beds, no tea tables, no exquisite food, and you have to endure mosquito bites.

When they heard the complaint from the Minister of Dali temple, they immediately agreed with each other and said, "it's hard, it's hard."

At this time, it seems that Xu Qian's proposal is so stupid. If they don't change the land route, they are still floating in the water, sleeping in a big soft bed and having a separate room to rest.

Chu Xianglong, who has copper skin and iron bone, is not afraid of mosquito bites. He lightly mocks: "since he chose to go by land, he naturally has to bear the corresponding consequences. We've only been on the road for a day, and it's still time to take the water route. "

Xu Qi'an took out a handfuls of special spices and said in a high voice, "I have insect repellent spices here. If I throw a piece into the campfire, I can expel mosquitoes."

The soldiers were overjoyed. They received spices from Xu Qi'an and put them into the bonfire.

The spices burned slowly in the fire, and a slightly pungent fragrance overflowed. After a while, there were no mosquitoes around.

"Ha ha, there are no mosquitoes. It's comfortable."

"Now I can sleep at ease, thanks to Mr. Xu."

By the campfires, the soldiers were not stingy of their praise. Xu Yinluo's spices solved their immediate problems. Without mosquito bites, the whole person was comfortable.

Happiness starts from these small benefits. If you change the leadership of an official, you will certainly not care about their small troubles.

I don't think about it. If I don't sleep well at night, I will be tired tomorrow, and I have to go on my way. If there is a vicious circle, the combat strength of the whole team will decline.

As the soldiers' happiness increases, they will also feed back to the leaders, showing more respect and recognition for them.

For example, when Xu Qi'an proposed to change his route and take a harder land route, the whole team complained privately, but not including the 100 forbidden troops, they didn't complain at all.

This is identity.

The two royal censors and Dali Shicheng asked for a piece of spice. They went back to the tent and lit it with a censer. The mosquito repellent effect was immediate. As expected, they did not hear the "buzz" again.

"Lord Xu has even prepared this kind of trinket. He is worthy of being an expert in solving cases and has a delicate mind."

The censor of the duchayuan got out of the tent and praised loudly.

In the carriage not far away, the maidservants smelled the faint fragrance and said happily, "it smells good. Let's go and get some to burn to drive away mosquitoes."

"What to take? Xu Yinluo and general Chu are in conflict. Don't ask for trouble at this time." Said another maid.

"No, Xu Yinluo's personality is very good, especially gentle to our women." Said the maid.

"Chi... I'm talking about general Chu. We're from the royal family. We have to know. No matter how good Xu Yingong is, we can't forget our identity. Do you understand

"Yes, and I heard that it's Xu Yinluo who wants to change the land route. It's really hard for us to work so hard."

As soon as these words came out, other maidservants denounced Xu Yinluo one after another. They hated to keep talking.

The princess curled up in the corner with a sneer of disdain.

These mindless maidservants have the same shortsightedness as toads. They can only see the mosquitoes flying in front of them.

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

It's better to suffer than to suffer.

...

the Prime Minister of Dali Temple lifted the curtain of the tent, looked at Xu Qi'an, who was sitting with the soldiers, and asked, "how sure is Mr. Xu?"

He refers to the setting up of the waterway. He gently reminds Xu Qi'an that he should consider gambling.

After all, Dali Shicheng and Xu Qian didn't hate each other. They didn't like to see him. The main reason is that Dali Shiqing and Xu Qian have a big hatred. As an official of Dali Shiqing, he has to sit upright.I don't know. Let Yang Yan step on the trap. It's just a trial. Xu Qi'an shakes his head slightly and doesn't speak.

A censor said: "if you count the time, it's time for Yang Jinluo to go to liushitan. I think you already know whether there is an ambush. When will he meet us? "

Xu Qi'an said: "I have left a signal along the way, and he will follow it."

It doesn't take long to catch up with the signal with the foot of the golden gong. We can catch up tomorrow morning at the latest, maybe tonight at the earliest.

Chu Xianglong and several civil servants were silent, thinking of each other, waiting for the arrival of Yang Yan.

Half an hour later, people fell asleep, snoring like frogs, one after another.

Xu Qi'an had no one. He took a withered branch and wrote and drew on the ground. He deliberated on how to investigate the case after he went to the northern border.

After finding out the case, how to bring the evidence back to the capital without disturbing the future of Zhenbei Wang.

The most troublesome thing about this is that he has nothing to do with the king of Zhenbei, but it is very easy for him to do anything.

It's understandable that they have a negative attitude towards the case. It's estimated that they just want to go through the scene and then return to the capital to hand over their duties. It's unreasonable that there is no refugee in the blood slaughter for three thousand li. I have to observe carefully and plunge to the North all the way. That's a fool's talent.

Chu Xianglong firmly opposed that I should take the land route, but he didn't think about it. He wanted me to go directly to the northern border, where I became a puppet.

You want to investigate in private?

Dream.

All of a sudden, he caught a wave of Qi, which came from a distance.

Xu Qian stood up, his right hand faster than his brain, and pressed the handle of the black gold long knife.

On the other hand, Chu Xianglong also opened his eyes with sharp eyes.

They did not make eye contact, but looked South together. In the dark, a figure came slowly, carrying a silver gun. It was Yang Yan.

Seeing him, Xu Qi'an and Chu Xianglong showed their nervousness and expectation.

The former stooped to pick up the water bag and said, "chief, what's the situation?"

Yang Yan took the water bag, drank it dry, and said in a deep voice, "there is a dragon lying in ambush in liushitan. The ship sank."

Sure enough, there's an ambush. What's the fear? Is Murphy's law universal? Xu Qi'an's heart sank, and finally the fluke disappeared.

Is there an ambush?!

Chu Xianglong clenched the handle of the knife, and the bonfire reflected his slightly contracted pupils.

"Take a seat first, chief. I'll call the people from the third division to come. They should listen to the situation together." Xu Qi'an called Yang Yan to sit down by the campfire and handed over the package with dry food.

Then he went into the tent one by one and woke up the censor, Dali Shicheng and Constable Chen of the Ministry of punishment.

Constable Chen got out of the tent and saw Yang Yan. He didn't even think about it. He asked a little urgently, "Yang Jinluo, is there an ambush?"

The two imperial censors and Dali Shicheng were staring at Yang Yan.

"There's an ambush at liushitan. The ship sank. If we don't change our route, we will be wiped out today." Yang Yan's face was dignified.

There's an ambush, there's an ambush... The heart of Dali temple is deep in the valley.

A total annihilation? The two censors' faces changed slightly. They suddenly looked at Xu Qi'an and bowed to him, saying: "thanks to Mr. Xu's alertness, he judged the ambush ahead of time and let us escape."

Constable Chen of the Ministry of punishment looks at Xu Qi'an with a lot of admiration. He is convinced of the enemy of his immediate superior.

"Let's go into the tent and say," he said Dali Temple Cheng proposed.

Xu Qi'an nodded and called Chen Xiao, who had come to life, and said, "don't sleep tonight. Let's raise our spirits and make a good inspection."

Chen Xiao beside hear the whole process, understand the seriousness of the matter, face dignified nod: "adults rest assured."

Xu Qian immediately followed the crowd into the tent.

......

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

The maidservants in the same car had woken up and were watching by the window.

"What happened to the noise at night?"

"Didn't you sleep well just now? Why did she suddenly go out to inspect the carriage?... "

the princess was shocked, lifted the blanket, rubbed her eyes, pushed open the door of the carriage, and carefully jumped out of the carriage.

"What are you doing?" she asked, catching a group of guards who were going out to inspect

"It is said that Yang LuoTan encountered the most ambush ship in front of the shipwreck

Later, a soldier added: "if it wasn't for Mr. Xu to change his route, we would be all finished today."

The princess was shocked, and a strong feeling of fear surged up.

There was an ambush. It was aimed at me. Fortunately, he was there. Fortunately, he responded early. She patted her chest. At this moment, she felt a strong sense of security.The ordinary princess took a deep breath and turned back to the carriage.

"You asked, didn't you? What happened to them?" The maidservants asked.

"There's an ambush on the waterway. The ship sank." Princess light way.

In the carriage, the shouts of surprise were everywhere, and the maidservants showed a look of fear.

"Why are there ambushes? Why did you ambush us... "

" Hoo... Fortunately, Lord Xu was very smart and took us by land early. "

Murmuring all around, maidservants are talking.

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

She felt the cold in the dark night, the cold from the bottom of her heart.

PS: I'm in a bad state today. I've had a headache all day. I'm sitting in front of the computer in a daze. It's so uncomfortable. I want to go to bed early and have a good rest. Remember to correct the spelling.
