Chapter 81: Leaving a Difficult Problem



"Yes, they said they saw food and grass being transported out of the military camp and back to the capital, so they hurried back to report."

Nangong Jing frowned. This was simply impossible.

First there was no news from General Li, and now he has to transport grain and grass back to the capital before dawn. There must be something fishy going on here.

Nangong Jing thought about the time when he and General Li worked together many years ago. He had the best ideas and was the smartest.

If this is a trap, then what is his purpose?

Nangong Jing pondered for a long time, and suddenly a picture flashed in his mind. He was stunned and said: "Immediately gather all the soldiers to attack the opposite camp!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Don't ask yet, hurry up, hurry up!"

"yes!"

The general also noticed that Nangong Jing looked upset, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurried out to gather all the troops in the barracks.

When it was just getting light in the sky, Lin Jiuxi was sleeping soundly in the military tent next door when he heard a loud noise.

Lin Jiuxi rubbed his eyes and muttered, "It's the middle of the night, why is it so messy?"

He turned over and planned to continue sleeping, but the noisy and chaotic sound continued for a long time, and Lin Jiuxi's sweet dream was completely disturbed.

I can't sleep anymore.

Lin Jiuxi got up with a lot of anger. When he went out, he found that it was getting light in the sky. A breeze blew by, and he suddenly felt a chill that went straight to his heart.

Normally there were soldiers guarding outside the military tent, but now there was not a single one.

Lin Jiuxi looked around and saw no one outside the other military tents, which was strange.

“Where did they all go?”

Lin Jiuxi walked all the way to Nangong Jing's military tent. Fortunately, the soldiers here were still there.

"Genius Daliang, why is everything so messy? Did he get ambushed?"

"Princess, it was the prince who just led all the soldiers out of the barracks!"

The soldier said truthfully.

Lin Jiuxi was shocked when he heard this and asked, "What? The prince is taking the troops out? What is he going to do? To launch a surprise attack on the enemy?"

In a rage, Lin Jiuxi grabbed the soldier by the collar and asked.

The soldier was startled and said hurriedly: "Princess, I don't know anything!"

Lin Jiuxi angrily abandoned his soldiers and chased all the way into the military camp.

But with her two legs, how could she catch up with a four-legged horse? What's more, Nangong Jing had already left the military camp.

Lin Jiuxi ran to the exit of the military camp panting, but was stopped by three or five soldiers and could not get out.

I could only stamp my feet in anxiety.

Here, Nangong Jing led a large group of troops and headed straight for General Li's camp, but they were one step too late. The entire camp was empty, with only some things that could not be taken away.

There is no more soldier.

Zhang Yan didn't expect this to happen. He was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy has been prepared for this."

They must have withdrawn little by little during the time when Nangong Jing was recuperating, without being noticed at all.

"Zhang Yan, send someone to check. Li Mao and his men went that way."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon the soldiers who were investigating came back and pointed to the southwest and said, "Your Majesty, General, the enemy is heading in the southwest direction. The grass over there is messy and we can vaguely make out footprints and horse hoof prints!"

Nangong Jing smiled and said, "Li Mao is indeed a little naive. Tell him to go to Yucheng Prefecture ahead. If I am right, General Li has taken his men to Langzhou. He wants to lead me to a place where he can catch them all in one fell swoop. But I am not what he wants!"

"Your Majesty is wise. This Li Mao is indeed cunning!"

"There are troops stationed in Langzhou. Once we get close to Langzhou, Li Mao will definitely catch us in a trap. It would be better to go to Yuchengzhou and let Li Mao catch us by surprise."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhang Yan was extremely impressed by Nangong Jing's analysis of these two sentences.

Nangong Jing chose to go to Yucheng Prefecture for another reason that he didn't tell her, but it didn't matter, it would never be too late to tell her when she got there.

The army stayed for a while at the military camp abandoned by Li Mao, and then set out again towards Yucheng Prefecture.

Lin Jiuxi is now facing a problem.

Without Nangong Jing's order, she and Bai Hengqiu could not leave the military camp without permission. Anyone who disobeyed would be executed as a rebel.

Military orders are as heavy as a mountain, and even Nangong Jing himself has never violated them.

What's more, Lin Jiuxi had also been in a military camp, so how could he not know the rules of the military camp.

Especially now that Nangong Jing has left with a large number of people, and no one knows when he will be back.

Bai Hengqiu appeared when he was having breakfast. He was in very good spirits and even had a smile on his face.

"Jiuxi, have you packed everything?"

I am leaving the military camp today. In the past, I always felt that although the scenery of Shengyi Valley was beautiful, it was missing something.

During the past few days in the military camp, Bai Hengqiu realized that he missed the scenery of the Holy Medical Valley and those thatched houses very much.

And they grow their own herbs.

How can I give up the feelings that have already penetrated into my bones?

Bai Hengqiu had not yet noticed that Nangong Jing and the soldiers were missing from the military camp.

Lin Jiuxi sighed and said, "What's the point of cleaning it up?"

Bai Hengqiu had just taken a mouthful of porridge and hadn't even finished it when he was stunned by Lin Jiuxi's words.

Then he thought of Nangong Jing and asked, "But Prince Duan disagrees?"

Lin Jiuxi glanced at him with a strange look in his eyes and said, "No, we can't leave!"

Bai Hengqiu was stunned and asked, "Can't leave? What does that mean?"

"Didn't you hear the noise just after daybreak?"

Lin Jiuxi asked back.

Bai Hengqiu thought for a moment and nodded, "Of course I heard it. What's the matter?"

"The prince led the army out at dawn and has not returned yet!"

"Do you want to say goodbye to Prince Duan before leaving?"

Bai Hengqiu was not very clear about the rules of the military camp, but when he heard Lin Jiuxi say this, he thought of this.

Lin Jiuxi rolled his eyes at him and said, "We cannot leave the barracks without the prince's order, otherwise we will be dealt with according to military regulations."

"Military regulations? Handwritten orders?"

Bai Hengqiu asked doubtfully, and Lin Jiuxi nodded seriously.

"So now we can only wait for the prince to come back and leave the military camp with his order!"

Lin Jiuxi couldn't tell whether he should be disappointed or happy.

After all, she didn't want to leave the military camp, but Nangong Jing told her last night that there was a way to prevent her from leaving.

She didn't take it seriously, but who knew she would encounter such a thing this morning.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiuxi was suddenly shocked, thinking to himself, could this be Nangong Jing's method? If so, isn't he afraid that Bai Hengqiu will use force?

Or use some tricks to give some medicine to the remaining soldiers in the barracks and take me away by force? Lin Jiuxi thought while secretly observing Bai Hengqiu's expression.
