Chapter 219 Thank You Camel
Mu Liansheng and Murong Jing happily returned to Uzbekistan and Beijiang camp respectively, taking half of the captured prisoners with them.
At this time, Gu Chaoyang and several Silver Dragon Iron Cavalrymen caught up from behind, followed by several half-human-high black dogs and a horse carrying a corpse.
"Master, we found the person!"
Murong Jing looked at the body and asked Zhu Lan and the others, "Is this the Ah Zhu you mentioned? Is she the one who killed Tian Duo?"
Zhu Qingyan nodded, and after confirming that everything was correct, Murong Jing ordered the bodies to be taken back to the Northern Frontier camp.
The storm finally subsided, and Zhu Qingyan finally had the opportunity to thank Gu Chaoyang. If it weren't for Gu Chaoyang's arrow on the altar before, he would have been beheaded by now.
Gu Chaoyang touched the back of his head and laughed, "Luckily I caught up with Zhu Lan's plan and wasn't late."
"Plan? What plan?" Zhu Qingyan looked at Zhu Lan, "Did you know that General Gu would come to rescue us?"
As soon as the question was asked, Zhu Qingyan reacted. No wonder Zhu Lan was so calm when he found out that Ah Zhu was an enemy rather than a friend. He seemed not worried at all. It turned out that he had already made arrangements.
But she still had some questions, so she asked, "Since Ah Zhu was setting off Kongming lanterns so far away and had transferred Ah Jing and her men away, how did General Gu find us?"
"Then you have to thank them." Gu Chaoyang smiled and patted the black dog's head. The black dog wagged its tail and licked Gu Chaoyang's hands full of saliva with its tongue.
Zhu Qingyan was still puzzled.
Zhu Lan took out a folded handkerchief from his bosom, opened it, and found something black wrapped inside.
"What's this?"
"Musk." Zhu Lan said.
The scent of musk is long-lasting and can drift far away with the wind. It also contains animal pheromones, which humans cannot smell, but dogs are very sensitive to.
Especially since she had been sitting by the fire at night these days, the rising temperature would make the smell of musk evaporate faster.
Gu Chaoyang took over the conversation, "We caught a few big exorcists posing as spice merchants some time ago, and they happened to have musk. So I made an appointment with Zhu Lan that she would take some with her, and I would also give musk to the wolfhounds in the barracks every day.
After you left the Northern Frontier Camp, I followed you from a distance with my wolfhounds, and roughly found out the area you were in. But I was worried about being discovered and alerting the enemy, so I didn't get closer, and I didn't find out the specific location of the main force of the Great Purification.
Until this morning, I saw the red Kongming lantern rising, which was far away from the location I had explored in advance. I didn't know which side was the real one, but the princess would definitely lead people to the Kongming lantern, so I followed the wolfhound and followed the smell of musk to find you. "
“So that’s how it is…” Now not only Zhu Qingyan, but even Murong Jing looked at Zhu Lan with admiration.
She had believed Cheng Hu's words before. If Zhu Lan hadn't made this arrangement, a disaster would have occurred.
As for why Zhu Lan did not discuss this with her beforehand, Murong Jing did not mind. After all, now that the main force of the Great Purification had been completely wiped out, the border would regain peace and the people would be able to live and work in peace. This was the most important thing.
Zhu Qingyan moved closer to Zhu Lan and sniffed hard, "Strange, I'm with you every day, why don't I smell any musk on you? Could this be the legendary, one who has been in an abalone shop for a long time doesn't know how bad it smells?"
"That's because you've been exposed to the smell of camels for too long!" Zhu Lan glanced at her and said with a smile.
“It was a good thing because there were many camels in the camp. Camels have a strong smell to begin with, and with camel dung piled up around, those people didn’t notice the musky smell.
Say thank you camel."
"Oh." Zhu Qingyan rolled his eyes slightly, "Okay, thank you Camel."
Gu Chaoyang laughed on the side.
"Are you all okay with your injuries?" Murong Jing asked.
Zhu Lan was not seriously injured, but Gu Chaoyang and Zhu Qingyan suffered some external injuries, but they were not serious and they just needed to be bandaged after returning to the camp.
Murong Jing announced that she would set off back to the camp.
…
The news that Princess Ningyue had annihilated the main force of the Great Purification Camp spread immediately throughout the Northern Frontier camp. All the soldiers were delighted, and the King of Zhenbei even came out of the camp to greet them in person.
Ding Xiaoqiu and Xie Fuzi also followed behind.
The last time he and his partner went out for a horseback ride, they accidentally got lost. When they came back, they heard that Zhu Lan and his partner thought they were captured by the Great Purification Soldiers and risked sneaking into the enemy camp. They were so anxious that they couldn't even eat for a few days. Now that he heard that they had returned safely, he felt relieved.
"Father, these two have made great contributions to catching all these great thieves this time. You must write a letter to the court to commend them!" Murong Jing pointed at Zhu Lan and Zhu Qingyan beside him and said to the King of Zhenbei happily.
King Zhenbei laughed loudly, without any sign of abnormality on his face.
"Of course. The two girls are both wise and brave, and Jing'er is brave. You have all worked hard. To celebrate today's victory, the king has ordered a banquet to be held in the camp to reward the soldiers of the three armies!"
As he said this, King Zhenbei was about to take them back to the main tent.
"Wait, father." Murong Jing suddenly said, his eyes slightly cold, "Where are Cheng Hu and Dong Dalong now?"
King Zhenbei paused, his smile unchanged, "Of course he is still in the camp."
"I'll go find them first." After Murong Jing finished speaking, she walked towards the tent where the two of them lived, with murderous intent already in her eyes.
If Cheng Hu hadn't provided false information, how could Zhu Lan and Zhu Qingyan be in danger? If it weren't for Zhu Lan's arrangement, they might have been killed by Cheng Hu and Ah Zhu.
Mu'er followed Murong Jing and exchanged glances with King Zhenbei calmly as she left.
Murong Jing came to the tent of Cheng Hu and the other man, walked in angrily, and scared the two people in the tent.
"Princess..." Cheng Hu had a flattering smile on his face, and he and Dong Dalong hurriedly came forward.
Before he could utter the next sentence, he and Dong Dalong both covered their throats, widened their eyes, and fell to the ground in disbelief.
"What are you doing!?" Murong Jing did not expect that Mu'er beside her would suddenly take action, cut off the throat with a sword, and at the same time end the lives of the two people in front of her, so she could not help but ask angrily.
Mu'er stared at the two corpses on the ground with indignation, "These two must be spies of the Great Purification. They deliberately passed false information to us and almost caused a disaster. It's really not a pity that they died!"
"Then you have to ask clearly before killing him!"
"...Mu'er was impulsive at the moment. Please punish me, Princess." Mu'er lowered her head and waited for punishment.
Murong Jing waved her hands in annoyance, "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, the Great Purification no longer exists. The matter has been settled. Let's leave it at that."
At this time, Zhu Qingyan, Gu Chaoyang, and other injured Silver Dragon Cavalry had recovered from their injuries and were ready to attend the celebration banquet.
