Chapter 208 Lu Shengling is in trouble
In the wilderness, the night is as cold as water. A cold moon hangs alone in the night sky, and its cool silver light spreads over the vast earth.
"call out--"
A sharp arrow shot down a gray pigeon resting on a branch.
With the sound of "thump" hitting the ground.
A woman dressed as a soldier ran over and picked it up. She stared at the pigeon in her hand with shining eyes and patted the sand on the bird's body:
"Hehe, finally I have some minced meat to satisfy my tooth."
The woman licked her lips and hesitated:
"Slurp~, roasted pigeon? No, no, let's make a pot of pigeon soup. It's so delicious with a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of meat!"
However, her fantasy didn't last for two seconds before she was suddenly interrupted by a questioning voice from behind:
"What do you have in your hand?"
The woman shuddered with fear.
She frowned slightly and turned around to see who was coming.
His eyes changed, he knelt down, held the pigeon in his palm forward and explained:
"I am Wang Tan, the humble man, meeting Lord Su. To answer your question, this is the pigeon I just caught on the branch."
Wang Tan raised his head slightly and asked tentatively:
"Lord Su, your journey is more tiring than mine. How about... I stew this bird meat and send it to you to nourish you?"
Su Yuan glanced at the gray pigeon that was constantly bleeding, and saw that it had indeed died not long ago as Wang Tan said, so his suspicions immediately dissipated.
She shook her head and refused:
"No, you keep it."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to go back to sleep.
Unexpectedly, when Su Yuan had just withdrawn his gaze halfway, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small letter box faintly visible under the pigeon's gray feathers.
She narrowed her cold eyes slightly, bent down, took the dead pigeon from Wang Tan's hand, and poured out the secret letter from the small tube tied to the pigeon's leg.
Then slowly unfold:
'The general who guards the country is trapped in the battlefield and has been missing for a day. Please come to the city to support him.'
After reading the contents of the letter, Su Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at Wang Tan, who was still lying on the ground, with a look of disappointment.
I am really impressed.
The soldiers delivering food to her shot and killed the carrier pigeons at the front line.
Being greedy can be fatal!
Su Yuan let out a long sigh and said coldly:
"Come on."
He strode into Adjutant Zhao's tent.
Fortunately, no one has gone to bed yet.
As soon as Su Yuan walked in, he didn't give Adjutant Zhao time to ask questions, and directly handed over the pigeon and the letter:
"The soldier outside the tent shot the pigeons at the front line, but Lincheng is not far from where we are now. Send someone on a fast horse to report the news."
Adjutant Zhao was originally half-sitting on the bed.
Hearing this, she ran over without even bothering to put on her shoes, took the thing from Su Yuan's hand and looked at it carefully.
Adjutant Zhao's body softened immediately, and he looked at Su Yuan with wide eyes, saying in a panic:
"Sir Su, this, this, this, I will find someone to do it immediately."
After saying that, she casually put on her cloth shoes and ran out.
When passing by the tent door.
Adjutant Zhao caught a glimpse of Wang Tan, who was shivering with his head down, and glared at her with sparks in his eyes. He turned around and asked Su Yuan:
"Master Su, what should we do with the cheap goods?"
rear.
Su Yuan walked slowly to Adjutant Zhao's side, glanced at the pale Wang Tan, pursed his lips and said:
"This matter is of great importance. Although there are ways to remedy the situation, the death penalty can be avoided but the punishment of life cannot be avoided. Take her away and give her 20 lashes of the cane to teach her a lesson."
"Also, after you find someone to deliver the letter to Lincheng, you must not delay the journey and continue to lead people back to the capital. I have something to do that requires me to stay here, and I will catch up with you later."
Adjutant Zhao nodded, slapped Wang Tan with his calloused palm, and said sternly:
"You idiot, why don't you thank Lord Su quickly? You have delayed the military intelligence at the front line. Even if you have ten heads, it's not enough to chop off. Even if I give you twenty big sticks, it would be too light for my adjutant."
Wang Tan was suddenly awakened by Adjutant Zhao. His aggrieved mood instantly disappeared, and he knelt down and kowtowed:
"Thank you, Lord Su, for your mercy. I will never dare to do it again. Woohoo - I will go down and accept the punishment now."
This is the end of tonight's farce.
Wang Tan followed Deputy General Zhao and left sobbing.
Su Yuan looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, turned his head, looked in the direction of Liuyun Ferry, and sighed.
Then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
…………
The border between Liuyundu and Huangshaguan is rugged and vast, so it was used as the battlefield for the two armies to fight.
At midnight, it was pitch dark.
Su Yuan, holding a high-power flashlight, quickly moved through the battlefield and its surrounding remote corners.
However, things don't always go as planned.
She searched for half the night without closing her eyes, but found nothing except some remains of a rotten corpse or even a piece of Lu Shengling's clothes.
“Gurgle…”
Su Yuan touched his flat belly and stopped on a slightly higher sand dune.
There is no time to be particular at this time.
She randomly found a relatively clean piece of sand and sat down. She took out a bottle of mineral water and bread from the space and stuffed them into her mouth while looking at the dark battlefield around her with deep eyes in thought.
The first half of the night was enough for her to search the entire battlefield, and even if she searched more carefully, there were not many places left that she had not explored.
well--
If I still can't find anyone, I'm afraid...
She also has to make a trip to Huangshaguan.
Think of this.
Su Yuan put the last bite of bread into his mouth, picked up the flashlight that he had thrown on the ground, patted the sand stuck under his body and prepared to go to the next place.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her foot, a strange gasp suddenly came into Su Yuan's ears with the wind.
The movement of leaving was paused.
Su Yuan followed the sound and glanced under the towering sand dunes. It was pitch black and he couldn't see clearly.
She sighed softly and jumped off the sand dune.
The wind howled in her ears, mixed with fine sand that brushed against Su Yuan's delicate face, causing her to feel pain.
Fortunately, it’s not too high.
In just a few breaths.
She landed smoothly at the bottom.
The voice continued:
"Ah, uh..."
Su Yuan frowned and raised the flashlight to shine over there.
All I could see was a cave.
This is where the sound comes from.
Thinking that the person inside was most likely Lu Shengling, a glimmer of hope emerged in Su Yuan's eyes and he strode in.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
The closer she got, the clearer the sound became in her ears, until she entered the cave and turned a corner.
As the flashlight shone over, a man with a ghost face and wearing silver-white armor came into Su Yuan's sight.
At this moment, he was leaning against the corner of the cave wall, groaning in pain.
Because he was wearing a mask, Su Yuan couldn't see the specific situation.
But from the man's hands, which were worn and bleeding from holding the sand so tightly, it seemed that the man's hands were broken and bleeding.
It must be extremely uncomfortable.
Su Yuan did not hesitate any longer. He walked quickly to the man, leaned over and gently took off the golden mask on his face.
A moment.
Lu Shengling's stunning face came into view.
But what was different from before was that the man's face, which was usually as white as jade, turned red and felt as hot as fire when touched.
