Chapter 376: Strange

He Lanyan was locked in a bedroom in the backyard of Zheng's house. At first glance, it didn't look like the bedroom of a military general, but rather like a resting place for a rich man who is used to enjoying the blessings. There are various layouts, which are extremely comfortable. capable.

Zheng Hu threw He Lanyan into this bedroom, and after leaving two guards outside to guard him, he rushed to report to Zheng Shuang. In his heart, such a timid woman who seemed to have been scared out of her wits, I'm afraid they won't even have the courage to run away. Even if they have the courage to run away, those two guards outside are not vegetarians, and they can easily deal with a little girl.

He Lanyan stood in the middle of the house. Until then, there was not a trace of panic in her heart. After all, this was the first time she came out to perform a task alone. In the past, she charged into battle, and the danger was naturally far more dangerous than now, but at that time, the surrounding With her personal bodyguard Sula Ula, there are countless capable fighters, and more importantly, in every battle He Lanyan participated in, beside her, there is a stronger chest to rely on. As long as she is by his side, He Lanyan Never felt that I was in any danger.

But now, the chest that can be relied on is probably holding nephrite jade in her arms, enjoying the happiness of the newlyweds, and those guarding warriors who can die for her are far away.

Stretching out her hand to wipe her face, she forcibly covered back the tears that had almost fallen down. Now is not the time to think about these things. What she has to face next is not only about her own life and death, but also about the future The life and death of the thousands of Fufeng soldiers who came. At this point, it's impossible to even stop, even if it's Hutou, they won't be able to take down the city gate. Gongsun Yi, Tang Ming, Wang Yi and others who came later will also storm Baokang City.

Because I am here.

Then, Zheng Shuang must be killed, leaving the entire Hejian County without a leader.

Looking carefully at the room, there is a saber hanging on the wall. This is the only thing in the room that can show the identity of the owner. He Lanyan showed a smile on her face, walked over, and gently took it off. Saber, drawn out, the knife is not bad.

There were heavy footsteps outside. With Zheng Shuang's loud laughter, the two guards at the door bowed to greet her. He Lanyan shook her body, drew her saber out of its sheath, flashed her body, and hid behind the door, holding her breath. When Zheng Shuang stepped into the door, When he came, it wasn't a charming woman who greeted him. Rather, it was an extremely sharp blow to the head.

The door was pushed open a gap, and the knife in He Lanyan's hand was slowly raised.

"General, General!" Zheng Hu's voice suddenly came from outside, as if something urgent happened.

"What's the matter? Don't you know I'm busy now?" Zheng Shuang was furious. If it hadn't been for the fact that Zheng Hu has always been sensible and hardworking, he couldn't help kicking him just now, and now he is burning with desire.

I always wanted to vent to the beautiful woman I just captured.

"Master Wu came over and said he was in a hurry to find the general!" Zheng Hu said.

"Say I'm not free now, let him come to me tomorrow!" Zheng Shuang said angrily.

"Yes. But Master Wu said that he must see General Zheng now, otherwise he won't leave!" Zheng Hu said, "Master Wu is sitting in the living room right now."

Zheng Shuang snorted, "This old man has to make an inch of it."

Having said that, Wu Ci'an still has to give face, not to mention that this guy is staying there now, what's the big deal? Zheng Shuang angrily slammed the door tightly, and strode out.

"Stay here well!" Zheng Shuang, who left a sentence, hurried out, hurriedly dismissed Wu Ci'an, and came back to continue his good work.

Hearing Zheng Shuang's sudden departure, He Lanyan breathed a long sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her forehead, face, and palms were covered with sweat. Obviously, she was very nervous just now.

This is not possible. The sound of Zheng Shuang's footsteps was steady just now. He is obviously not a mediocre player. Most of his skills are on horseback. It's a woman. In terms of strength, she is obviously at a disadvantage. If it can't be effective with one blow, I'm afraid it will be bad.

Slowly sat down at the table, staring at the faintly burning lamp core, He Lanyan calmed down, carefully thinking about any key points of what she would do next, and the voice of the tiger head rang in her head.

Furious, Zheng Shuang walked into the small hall for guests. Wu Ci'an, the county magistrate of Baokang, was waiting there anxiously. He didn't even pour a cup of tea beside him. The whole small hall was as cold as ice, and Wu Ci'an couldn't help Do not walk around to keep warm.

"Magistrate Wu, Mr. Wu, what time is it now? If you don't rest, don't I also rest? Don't you know that I've been out for a day today because of your business?" Zheng Shuang said angrily.

Wu Cian arched his hands together, "General Zheng, excuse me, but this matter is weird, I'm afraid there is a reason behind it, I have to come to see the general, just in case."

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!" Zheng Shuang didn't even sit down, he just wanted to get rid of this spoiled old guy quickly so that he could go back to be his bridegroom.

"Wu Gang is back!" Wu Ci'an seemed a little upset.

"Wu Gang, isn't that your nephew?" Zheng Shuang was even more angry, "He's back, what do you want me for?"

Wu Ci'an said: "General Zheng, Wu Gang is back, but out of the 500 Baokang villagers who followed him, only more than 300 people have returned, and more than 100 people have disappeared without a trace."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Zheng Shuang was also surprised. "Wu Gang didn't go to find out what happened?"

"The first one to go missing was a village of 50 people. These 50 people went to inspect the village farthest from Baokang, but there was no news of it once they went there. Wu Gang was afraid that something might happen, so he sent another 50 people Everyone went to respond, but after this trip, there was no news. Normally, if something happened to this village, these county soldiers should send someone back to report the news, but there was not even a ghost. Terrified, I brought the remaining three hundred people back."

After Zheng Shuang heard this, the desire in his heart cooled down a bit, and he pondered for a while, "Is it possible that the heavy snow has blocked the road and they can't come back?"

"Impossible. The village they went to is all plains all the way to Baokang County. Why can't they come back? I'm worried. Is the Huns from the grasslands coming? The murderous hands of the Huns?" Wu Ci'an said worriedly.

"It's possible!" Zheng Shuang nodded, "Right now the grassland is in chaos, the Huns have lost control, and there are so many horse bandits, but it is really possible that some horse bandits have rushed to the village you mentioned The county soldiers from the two capitals were unlucky and bumped into each other head-on, that would be a disaster."

"General Zheng, please send an army to help! There are not only soldiers from these two capitals, but also hundreds of people from a whole village!" Wu Ci'an's doubts were met by Zheng Shuang's nod Confirmed, but my heart is even more flustered.

"Go to the rescue?" Zheng Shuang laughed, "Magistrate Wu, what's the use even if my army is out there now? Both of yours are already finished, and the people in that village will die at this time." If you are on the spot, or you will become the slaves of those barbarians, how can I catch up with them when it is snowing all over the sky? Whether it is the Huns on the grassland or the horse bandits, it is not cavalry. You must be slow, if the cavalry go, you know, I only have such a few cavalry, if we attack rashly, I am afraid that we will end up in the same end as your two county soldiers."

"Then, why don't you just watch those horse bandits looting outside?" Wu Ciguan raised his eyebrows, "If I can't protect one side, I'm in vain as an official protecting the health of my parents!"

Zheng Shuang shook his head again and again, "Magistrate Wu, the Huns plundered the border counties, neither started nor will it end today, let alone you, even if it is the king of heaven, I can't do anything, as long as you Just keep this Baokang city well. Those outside, if they can protect it, they can protect it. If they can’t, it’s their life. Take a risky attack and grab this one, and you will definitely retreat. I won’t go to plunder other villages again. Now that the matter has come to this point, there is nothing we can do about it.”

Seeing how Wu Ci'an was still entangled, Zheng Shuang hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, when it dawns tomorrow, I'll send someone to take a look, how about it? Look at this big night, I can't take the risk of sending someone out, what do you think?" no?"

Wu Ci'an sighed, "That's the only way to go, General Zheng, do you think these barbarians will come to attack Baokang?"

Zheng Shuangchi laughed, "Magistrate Wu, you have been here for a long time. When did you see the Huns come to attack the county? Never before, let alone now that the Huns were killed by the Qin people. Even The royal court has been wiped out, it has long been a group of scattered sand, and there is no way to gather enough people. Go back to sleep at ease, they are not so blind, I have heavy troops stationed at the gates of the four cities, even if they come, So what? Step on the horse and climb up? Ha, I’m afraid it’s not enough!”

Wu Ci'an didn't understand military affairs. Hearing Zheng Shuang's analysis, he felt a little relieved. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm really bothering the general. Tomorrow, can the general send a team to investigate?"

"No problem, no problem! I'll send people there tomorrow, and let Zheng Hu take the people there himself, how about that?" Zheng Shuang generously agreed. (To be continued..)
