Chapter 324 Arrival at Lindu City
Xue Wen replied: "It went smoothly. I was just worried that we might go astray."
Jiang Yue and others had also been traveling all the way, so they stopped to rest. Jiang Yue also explained to them the origin of the carriage.
"So, the spy is in the carriage?" Wu Ning asked, and Jiang Yue nodded to confirm.
Xue Wen: "Deputy General Jiang, I didn't expect you to receive a mission while you were on the way."
This kind of thing is not easy to encounter.
Wu Fei: "Did Deputy General Jiang also meet the prince of the current dynasty?"
The Xuanwu soldiers surrounded the carriage one after another. Such important prisoners had to be kept under strict guard.
...During the rest period, Jiang Yue specially checked the escorted coffin and found out that the ice inside was all new. She also checked the saltpeter she brought, thinking that it should be enough for the journey.
The troops' eyes unconsciously fell on Jiang Wuni again.
However, due to the relationship between Jiang Wuni and Jiang Yue, they did not dare to keep their eyes on her.
Only Wu Ning approached Jiang Wuni and asked, "Xiao Wu, why are you following me again?"
"Come out and see the world." Jiang Wuni answered simply.
Wu Ning wanted to ask something else, but then Jiang Wuni asked:
"Wu Ning, have you ever been to the capital?"
"No." In Wu Ning's impression, since he and Jiang Wu Ni met, Jiang Wu Ni almost never took the initiative to talk to him.
He grew up with his master, and all day long he either practiced martial arts or taught martial arts to the disciples in the martial arts school. He had no time to go out and explore the world.
The brothers thought that Fifth Junior Brother could get along with anyone.
Jiang Wuni was thinking about the flourishing flowers in Lindu City. The corners of her lips twitched and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Wu Ning wondered what Jiang Wuni was thinking about.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand.
"You are a girl, and instead of thinking about how to stay at home and take care of your husband and children, you actually want to travel around the country?"
"Isn't it possible?" Jiang Wuni asked back.
"Of course...you can." Wu Ning smiled stiffly, but was met with a look of disdain from Jiang Wuni.
Jiang Yue, who was listening to the two people's conversation, thought that Fifth Sister's thinking was deeply influenced by her.
After a moment, continue on your journey.
The spies' wagons were tied up and placed vertically alongside the wagons carrying saltpeter.
At noon, they arrived at a small town.
Jiang Yue ordered the Xuanwu Army to take turns guarding the coffin, saltpeter and the Beiyan spy.
The troops rested in the woods outside the town, and the soldiers could enter the town to have their meals.
The Xuanwu soldiers had been traveling for half a day and were already hungry. When they heard Jiang Yue's words, they naturally went to the town in groups of two or three.
Jiang Yue and her fifth sister went to the small town together. After entering, they found that it was not much bigger than their Qinghe Town.
They stopped in front of a noodle stall. The simple bone soup noodles, the milky white soup, the smooth noodles, and the lettuce leaves floating on the noodles looked delicious and tasted delicious.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Wuni each ate two large bowls, which was not an exaggeration at all.
After lunch, the troops continued their march.
They passed rows of villages again, then some bushes, and then a mountain range. Before dark, they arrived somewhere outside the mountains.
As there was no village in front and no shop behind, Jiang Yue ordered that they should rest here for the night.
Being in Donglin, they don't have to worry about the enemy suddenly appearing or not having enough food.
It was a summer day and the soldiers had been traveling all day, feeling hot and sweating all over.
Therefore, everyone is now looking for springs in the mountains and forests.
Jiang Yue and the fifth sister walked a little further away. In the warm stream, they let down their long hair, took off their shoes and socks, and in the hot spring they washed away all their tiredness and took a break from their busy schedule.
At night, they used the sky as their cover and the ground as their bed.
The next morning we continued our journey, and it was another repetitive day.
Not to mention that Jiang Yue and Jiang Wuni went to the capital of Donglin on the first day, most of the other soldiers came from poor and cold backgrounds and it was their first time to go there.
We hurried along the way, passing through various counties and prefectures. The closer we got to the capital, the more prosperous they were.
The whole summer was spent on the road. The scorching sun shone on the earth, and every noon, their dark red uniforms looked like they had been washed.
Fortunately, summer passes day by day.
By the time they approached Lindu, it was already early autumn.
In autumn, cool breezes added to the chill for the soldiers in the early mornings and at night.
Outside the capital city.
Jiang Yue and others stopped their horses and looked closely at the towering city wall, where the words "Lindu" were clearly visible.
At this moment, Jiang Yue and all the soldiers had already put on their armor, and their majesty of the march was fully displayed.
At this moment, their expressions were serious, representing the soldiers of the entire border.
Therefore, even though they were shocked by the grandeur of the capital, and even though they were excited, they did not utter any exclamation.
When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw this scene, they looked around the entire army but did not see any familiar figures.
There was no general or major general, and they didn't see any other generals either. They only saw Jiang Yue, who was wearing a general's uniform. They looked left and right, but they didn't recognize any of the soldiers in this group.
"May I ask you who..." The guard looked at Jiang Yue, clasped his fists and asked, while at the same time, he did not forget to block their way.
After saying that, he opened the curtain of the carriage. Why was there still someone tied up?
This group of people acted suspiciously.
"Jiang Yue!" Jiang Yue took out the military token without thinking.
"Jiang Yue?" Several guards shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of a general with the surname Jiang.
Suddenly, their eyes fixed on the wooden coffin in the middle of the Xuanwu Army.
Jiang Yue explained: "We are here to send General Yue's soul back to his hometown."
"General Yue?" The guards were stunned. General Yue died on the battlefield?
At this time, a burly general appeared in front of Jiang Yue.
"Which General Yue? Are you saying that the person in this coffin is the old man who has lost all hope?"
There was a hint of mockery in his expression. He did not think Yue Tingshan had died.
At this moment, he just felt that Yue Tingshan must have been used by Jiang Yue and others, and they wanted to take the opportunity to enter the city.
"It's General Yue!" Jiang Yue repeated, and at the same time, the expression on her face became not so good.
"General Yue used his life to defend the border city of Liangzhou, and he did not deserve this treatment."
The guarding general thought of the scene in which spies from Northern Yan sneaked into the capital and stole the topographic map. He was now afraid that Jiang Yue and his companions would take advantage of them.
"Please wait for a moment, my fellow soldiers. I will send someone to inform them."
After he finished speaking, he ordered a guard to go to the direction of the palace.
After the man left, he looked at Jiang Yue and others and gave another order.
"Watch them, don't let them run away!"
Jiang Yue: This is too disrespectful to the soldiers on the border.
Jiang Yue and other soldiers waited and waited.
The guard at the city gate looked at them with disdain.
"The war situation at the border is tense. If you say you are soldiers at the border, no one will believe you."
Jiang Yue: "The war is over for now. Whether you believe it or not will become clear."
He thought it was a grand welcome, but before he even entered the city, the young general guarding the city mistook him for a spy from the enemy country.
Jiang Yue and the others were left aside and under strict surveillance, which was not a very pleasant feeling.
The Xuanwu soldiers behind them had originally thought that they were admired by thousands of people on horseback, but how come this fact was completely different from what they had imagined?
I have to admit, there is still a sense of gap.
