Chapter 817: The End of Luck
Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin quickly mounted their horses and galloped towards the city tower.
Mo Lingan did not come alone. Behind him were two well-dressed men. The journey was dusty and his hair looked less tidy and clean.
Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin walked up to the city tower and looked at the three men sitting on horseback outside the city gate. Sure enough, it was Mo Lingan.
Xie Jin raised his eyebrows casually and asked in a loud voice: "Who is under the city? Tell me your name."
He had been asked this before, and now he was asking others so condescendingly. It was quite interesting that the situation was changing.
Mo Lingan raised his eyes to look at the tall tower and sarcastically said: "Master Xie Jiu, is he longing for his husband and has traveled thousands of miles to find her?"
All the generals on the tower suddenly suppressed their laughter.
Xuanyuan Yao dressed in military uniform and asked majestically: "Mo Lingan, who asked you to come here?"
"Your master asked me to come." Mo Lingan said calmly, "I have the information that the general needs most. Do you want to continue talking nonsense, or let me in first?"
"The military situation is urgent right now, and we cannot let people into the city at will." Xie Jin said in a leisurely tone, "What if a traitor sneaks in and wants to harm my Dongling soldiers?"
"Can't you just let people in?" Mo Lingan raised his eyebrows, "Are you not a human being?"
Xie Jin said: "I am different from you."
"Yes, it's different." Mo Lingan nodded, "You are the Xuanyuan Xie family, the daughter-in-law of General Xuanyuan. I don't have this honor."
The soldiers on the city tower coughed slightly and tried to maintain their serious and awe-inspiring postures calmly.
The young man outside the city seemed to be an acquaintance of their general. His tone of voice sounded unguarded and hostile, and he even joked freely... and his status should not be low.
Mo Lingan?
Yu Fan and An Yi thought for a moment and found that the name was somewhat familiar, but not very familiar.
But this is normal.
Mo Lingan's father did not have a particularly high official position in the court, and the Mo family was not a particularly noble family. In addition, these generals did not have much contact with the noble princes of the imperial capital and spent most of the year in the military camp. Ling'an was away from the imperial capital all year round, so it was normal for them not to be familiar with each other.
They even doubted whether Mo Lingan was from the imperial capital.
But as long as the generals know each other, it doesn't matter whether they are familiar or not.
"Where did you come from?" Xuanyuan Yao confirmed.
Mo Lingan seemed to understand his concerns and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not coming from the direction of Fengshi, but the news I brought is about Fengshi and it will be useful to you."
Xuanyuan Yao felt relieved after hearing this, as long as they did not come from Fengshi. If they came from Fengshi, even if it was Mo Lingan, he would not let him enter the city easily.
"Open the city gate."
The city gate slowly opened, and Mo Lingan and the two men behind him entered the city. The city gate was quickly closed behind them, and martial law was entered again.
Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin went down from the tower and went to their temporary stay with Mo Lingan.
"I have been collecting information for the past two days." Mo Ling'an sat on the horse, walking alongside Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, and said in a calm tone, "Time is limited, so we cannot be detailed about everything, but we cannot omit information that is of vital importance to people's lives."
"No need to show off." Xie Jin turned his head and glanced at him, "We were planning to leave the city tonight to find out the situation. Yaoyao and I are very happy that you came in time. It saved us time. It's all thanks to Mr. Mo. We will also talk to the Lord after we return, and those who deserve the reward will never escape. "
Mo Lingan sneered: "If my guess is correct, you are responsible for transporting grain and grass this time. Since the grain and grass have been delivered, why hasn't Mr. Xie Jiu gone back yet? Is he using his power for personal gain?"
Xie Jin counterattacked: "You should have done a lot of things like using power for personal gain."
Mo Lingan said: "I don't have the courage like you."
"I just don't want to argue with you. Otherwise, if you are away all the time, I will be able to catch some excuses. You can't be busy with business every day, right? If I ask anyone to check, they will find that you are enjoying yourself. "Evidence." Xie Jin said in a calm voice, "We are all in the same boat, and turning a blind eye is what a smart person should do. Otherwise, you will harm others and not benefit yourself."
Xuanyuan Yao listened to them and frowned: "What kind of people on the same boat? You pretend to be the king of the mountain, and you turn a blind eye? Believe it or not, I have revealed all your details?"
"Prince Yao, calm down." Mo Lingan said calmly, "The ninth master of the Xie family will never change his ungrateful behavior. You don't have to be the same as him."
"Are we familiar with you?" Xuanyuan Yao looked at him, "Don't say that to him."
Mo Lingan was silent for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched in a subtle way: "You two are indeed a family."
"Nonsense." Xie Jin sneered, "Her Majesty the Queen personally granted the marriage. We are not a family. Are we the same family as you?"
Two against one, Mo Lingan was completely defeated.
So he kept silent.
The three of them just teased each other and made trouble, and soon returned to the coach's residence. Xuanyuan Yaoping retreated all his soldiers and led Xie Jin and Mo Lingan directly into the study.
"What is the situation in Fengshi?" Xie Jin frowned slightly, no longer as careless as before, "Yao Yao and I judged that Ge Yunhui may have poisoned Fengshi, and we plan to find out the situation tonight."
Mo Lingan looked at the clothes on the two of them: "Are you going to wear this?"
"No." Xuanyuan Yao shook his head, "We need to wear thicker clothes and cover our faces. When we come back, we should take off our clothes and throw them away-"
Mo Lingan interrupted him: "Ge Yunhui infected living people with the plague virus in Fengshi City. These people were all death row prisoners from the yamen of Shuoshan, Quyang, Fengshi and Jinwu. He sent these people in advance When they were taken into Fengshi, these death row prisoners were infected with a contagious disease. As soon as Dongling's army entered, they would be infected, and there is no cure for this disease, and those who are infected will die. "
As soon as the words fell, the air suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin fell silent, their expressions cold and solemn.
"As expected." Xie Jin sat on the chair, his eyes were narrow and a color as cold as frost flashed across his eyes, "South Vietnam's tactics are not good, the soldiers and horses are vulnerable, and the general has no fighting power, so he can only use this How to deal with the enemy in a deceitful way?"
"It's not that the tactics are not good, it's that the generals who are good at tactics were killed." Mo Lingan said, "You should still remember the Su Shang before. He had a brave and good general under him, although he was not as famous as the Lord. Yang Tianxia, but he is very capable in South Vietnam. If he can fight, even if Prince Yao wins the battle, it will not go so smoothly. "
Mo Lingan said with a faint smile: "But the general was killed by Ge Yunhui and the queen. He was involved in Su Chang's case, and the whole family was executed."
Xuanyuan Yao sneered: "So South Vietnam is destined to perish. It has exhausted its strength and there is no way to turn back."
