Chapter 492 Monster?
When Ningze handled Hanzhou affairs, the border was indeed lively.
Imagining this possibility, Ning Ze had already given up on Ziwu if he couldn't hold on, but Xingtai did not expect that Feng Qiao's offensive could still save the city and never retreat!
This is surprising and exciting.
The border military situation was continuously transmitted through telegrams. Apart from Sima Fa and Feng Qiao's two routes of siege were very strong, which made the defenders fall into a tough battle, there was no other bad news.
The reason for rushing back is mainly to alleviate border pressure.
Who knows what other methods Sima Fa and Feng Qiao will use?
After saying goodbye to the Yan brothers and Duzhao County Magistrate, Ning Ze took Xiao Yan with him and set off immediately.
The team arrived at Tiantai County, and an army arrived from the side in the middle.
It turned out that Mi Yan turned back and was about to go to Fengjun. When he passed the radio station, he learned that Ning Ze was leaving Hanzhou and rushed to the border, so he took the shortcuts without stopping.
When the couple met, Ning Zezong stepped forward.
"Why don't your husband wait for me when he says he's reunited in the state?" Mi Yan was a little dissatisfied.
Ning Ze said: "I didn't expect the incident in Hanzhou to be so fast, and the border military situation was urgent, so I forgot!"
"Fortunately, I traveled day and night and almost caught up!" Mi Yan rode a horse close to Ningze, and the couple walked side by side.
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam!" Ning Ze looked at her with a smile, "Little girl is here safely?"
"I will take it home in person, of course I will send it home safely!" Mi Yan raised her chin proudly, "That girl is pleasing, and the sisters can't let it go."
"Can't let go of love?" Ning Ze heard this, sweat appeared on his forehead, "Didn't you treat her as a toy?"
"Where is it? Everyone treats that girl like her husband, like her husband, as her biological daughter." Mi Yan smiled, "My husband has a good attitude, and Xiu'er also likes his future crown princess!"
"That's good!" Ning Ze felt relieved, "Since the wife has arrived, it will be easier to join forces with her husband and go to the border."
"Okay!" Mi Yan looked at Xiao Yan, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
"It's all the duty!" Xiaoyan answered respectfully.
"What happened during this period of time when I was away?" Mi Yan turned to Ning Ze, "Why can the most troublesome thing in such a short time be able to solve the court's most troublesome thing? Along the way, my husband has to talk to me carefully!"
"Of course," Ning Ze smiled, "Don't waste time, let's set off immediately. As we rush, we explain to you."
"Um……"
The couple from Ningze joined together and led the army to the border, leaving Hanzhou day and night, and entering Guangping County, Liangzhou within one day.
When the team was exhausted, they were temporarily stationed in a small valley near Dawan Township, Ju County, Guangping County.
It was just before the sunset was setting, and the road was empty and there were no pedestrians.
Basically, before nightfall, pedestrians and vendors will find resting places in advance to avoid night walks.
There are no street lights in this era, and it is extremely dangerous to travel after dark. After all, there are deep mountains and forests everywhere, and beasts appear at night, and attacks passers-by often happen.
The army is not bad, because it is huge, if the moonlight shines, the beasts on the road at night may not have the courage to get close.
Ningze’s plan is to let the army repair all night, and continue to rush forward before the sun comes out tomorrow morning, and travel day and night, go as far as you can, try to shorten the itinerary and arrive at the border as soon as possible.
Therefore, the army set up camps and built pots to make rice on the spot, without wasting time.
After eating and drinking, he left and left, and was in the same tent as Mi Yan. He was about to use this gap to make some fun between husband and wife. Xiaoyan suddenly came over and said loudly outside: "Prince, there is an old man outside the tent. He seems to be a commoner in Dawan Township. He said he had something important to report!"
"At this time?" Ning Ze was hugging Mi Yan, and he felt a little depressed when he heard this.
Mi Yan smiled and started from his arms, quickly tidied up her clothes, and said to the outside, "Bring someone here!"
"Here!"
Seeing Ning Ze's depressed look on his face, Mi Yan smiled and said, "The long night is long, why should you be depressed? Most local people will avoid the military camp, and some people come to the door on their own initiative. Maybe there is a big deal."
"Of course I know!" Ning Ze turned to look at her, "I'll deal with you later."
Mi Yan lowered her head and smiled, reaching out to smooth the wrinkles on Ning Ze's clothes.
Soon, Xiaoyan brought an old man about sixty or seventy years old who was about to suffice and slim and had a wooden stick to his head and wrinkles on his face into the tent.
The man was dressed in patches and dirty clothes, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, filled with wild vegetables and some common herbs.
When he entered the tent and saw Ning Ze, the old man immediately stepped forward and bowed and bowed: "I pay homage to the general!"
General Ning Ze looked at the old man in confusion, thinking that I was hanging so many Ning flags outside and dragon patterns, all of which were symbols of the prince’s identity and did not hide it in a low-key manner, so you couldn’t recognize it?
Then I thought that the people may not recognize the dragon-patterned flag in the remote areas. Moreover, most people in this era are illiterate and the news in remote areas is blocked, so I took it for granted.
He didn't correct the old man's name, and mistakenly thought he was a general in charge of the army, so he should just take it as such! He immediately asked, "What's wrong with the old man entering our military camp?"
It is impossible for ordinary people to enter the military camp for no reason. Most people will see that the military camp will be avoided decisively and dare not get close to it.
Hearing Ning Ze’s question, the old man looked up and said, “The little old man is from Dawan Township and is about to go home. Seeing the general stationed here, I believe he hasn’t heard of the strange things that happened in Dawan Township recently!”
"Oh?" Ning Ze suddenly became interested, "What strange thing?"
The last time I rushed from the border to Hanzhou, I also passed through Dawan Township, which was normal at that time.
"General, the sun is about to set, and it is extremely dangerous to stay here!" said the old man, "It is better to pull up the village and rise. I will take you to the village and don't stay in the valley. If it gets dark, it will be too late!"
"What exactly?" Ning Ze asked.
"There are monsters in this mountain. Seven or eight passers-by died two days ago. It's so miserable!" The old man replied, "This general, please leave here with me quickly. It should be fine when you get to the village. That monster has only eaten passers-by!"
"Monster?" Ning Ze showed surprise on his face, "There are monsters here? Old man, don't scare me!"
"How dare you?" the old man hurriedly said, "This matter is absolutely true, I dare not deceive the general!"
"Husband, why don't we pull the village and leave?" Mi Yan couldn't help but get goose bumps when she heard the word "monster".
After all, it is a woman, no matter how strong she is, she is afraid of such strange things.
Ning Ze does not believe in the saying of monsters. After all, he has traveled to this world for many years. He has been running around most parts of the country and killed countless enemies on the battlefield. There are monsters that have come to the door long ago. So he smiled and said, "Not to mention whether monsters exist, even if there are, how dare you commit rash in front of me?"
"General!" said the old man, "that monster is very fierce, really sucking people!"
"Old man, I'm so grateful that you could come here specially!" Ning Ze reached out and took out a silver ingot, "This is a thank you gift. Can you tell me carefully what the monster looks like and what abilities do you have?"
"The little old man didn't come for money," the old man waved his hand quickly, "Those who have seen monsters are dead, they are miserable! Everyone only knows that monsters will come out in this valley, which will come out at night, which is quite dangerous. I really don't know what they look like! I know that they eat people, and those who pass by here at night will surely die!"
"So powerful?" Ning Zexin said, could it be some kind of beast, or someone pretended to behave on purpose? He immediately stood up and walked to the old man, put the silver to him and was injured. "Thank you, the old man, for kindly telling me, I will see what the monster looks like tonight!"
"General, it's important to save your life!" The old man hurriedly pushed the silver back, "There are really monsters here, hurry up and follow the old man!"
"The sun is almost set, so the old man should either stay and see this general catch the monster?" Ning Ze said with a smile.
Seeing that he was unmoved, the old man couldn't help but sigh: "Young man dare not stay here. It's getting late, so it's too late if you don't leave! Since the general is determined not to leave, please take care of yourself. You have to go home!"
"Old man, bring the money with you!"
"No, no, no, no reward is received without merit!"
"The old man came to report the news, why is it ineffective?" Ning Ze forced the silver into the other party's hands, "I will never take back what I gave!"
"This, this..."
"Old man, take it!" Mi Yan said with a smile on the side, "This little piece of silver is nothing."
The old man looked at Ning Ze, then at Yinzi, and finally sighed: "General, you are a good person! Do you really don't consider leaving with the young old man? It's still time to leave now!"
"Old man, don't worry." Ning Ze smiled, "I am roaming the battlefield, killing people by people, and killing Buddha by Buddha. What's the point of a mere monster? If it dares to come, it will definitely die under the sword of this general!"
"Since that's the case, the old man has nothing to say." The old man sighed, "Take care, General!"
"Xiaoyan!"
"exist!"
"Send the old man outside the camp!"
"Here!"
The old man hunched his back and followed Xiao Yan step by step out of the military camp.
Mi Yan hurried to Ning Ze, gently pulled his sleeve, and his voice was a little scared: "Husband, is it really okay? What if..."
"So many years have passed, but the lady still doesn't believe in her husband's ability?" Ning Ze asked with a smile.
"My husband is very powerful, what if the monster is very fierce?"
"Don't worry!" Ning Ze said softly, "It's better not to come. If you really dare to appear, there will be no return. Even if you can't believe in your husband, and there is no water here, who dares to act violently in front of it?"
Hearing this, Mi Yan finally felt relieved: "That's right! Shui Bona is a god in the land, and is incense for all the people. When demons and ghosts see it, they will definitely not dare to act rashly!"
"Right! What's there to worry about?" Ning Ze patted her back, "With Gu's magic power, plus Shui Bo, let alone monsters, even if the gods come, they may not be able to take advantage! Gu wants to see if there are really monsters in this small valley, and what kind of existence is it!"
"If it can be eradicated, it will be considered to be eliminating the harm for the people, right?" Mi Yan said immediately after reassured, "I will also catch the demons with my husband!"
