Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 339
"Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge asked, "You mean, send someone to return the Tiger Talisman to Big Brother?"

Mo Li smiled softly: "After all, the Tiger Talisman is an important item. It would be too dishonest to send someone to deliver it. Since we want to have an open and aboveboard confrontation, we should return the Tiger Talisman in person."

Baili Jiuge nodded, "I see, so are we sending a letter to Big Brother now? Tell him that we will send back the Tiger Talisman in person."

Mo Li smiled and nodded.

Baili Jiuge hurried to find a pen and paper to write, because he was always upright, he didn't turn a corner when he wrote a letter, and finally made an appointment for tomorrow morning, at Wangjiang Pavilion.Baili Jiuge found a reliable soldier and sent the letter to Shaocheng.

Therefore, when the soldiers in Shaocheng read the letter aloud to all the generals in the army tent, all the generals of the two armies all blamed: "Did the civil servants in their army just take office? How can they speak so casually! "

Baili Weiming said, "It's probably my younger sister."

The generals were at a loss for words, thinking about everything they had heard about Baili Jiuge, they couldn't help but have their own thoughts.

The next day, according to the agreed time and place, both parties came on time. The main generals of the Dashang and the two armies came with Baili Weiming.They stared at the two horses galloping not far away, a man and a woman approached gradually, then dismounted, naturally took each other's hands and came together.

Baili Jiuge was open-minded, and regardless of the disgusted and hostile eyes looking at him, he waved at Baili Weiming loudly, "Brother, good morning, we are here!"

Baili Weiming smiled slightly.

The main generals of the two armies frowned, and some of them were very angry. They pointed at Baili Jiuge and cursed: "You are the daughter of my Great Shang Fengguo General, the younger sister of General Kansai, and you are colluding with the enemy. You He deserves to be hacked into pieces."

Mo Li's eyes sank.

Baili Jiuge replied with a nonchalant smile: "It's other people's business what others think, and I will do as I please, so I just want to have a clear heart."

"Shameless!" The general scolded, "Such collaborators and traitors dare to say anything with no shame in your heart. You are really a stain on Baili's family!"

stain?Feel free to talk, right and wrong have their own conclusions.Baili Jiuge said awe-inspiringly: "In the city that Mo Li and I took all the way, the people are all happy and grateful, and you know what kind of persecution they were in the first place! Guicheng sent eight distress reports to Chaodu, and finally got one The decree of despair; the prefect of Suicheng is self-willed and only knows how to enjoy himself, regardless of the life and death of the people; what did the king of Lucheng do, do you still not know? Anyway, no matter how you look at me, I will stand firm on this point Lu, let alone watch the big merchants living in dire straits!"

The general's face turned cold, and his heart was stuffy.Baili Jiuge's words are all true, not to mention, these generals of the two armies also know that every time Zhou Shizi captures a city, he will definitely provide food for the people. How to criticize?
Baili Jiuge looked at Baili Weiming, and said firmly: "Brother robbed the grain and grass delivered to us by Lanzhuang, I have nothing to say, but do you know that the people in Lucheng have a difficult life, and the food we distributed to them before The grain and grass won’t last long, so we’re just counting on the batch that Lanzhuang will transport over.”

"I know." Baili Weiming replied, such calmness made Baili Jiuge somewhat confused.

He had no choice but to call out suspiciously: "Brother..."

The strength in the small hand was stronger, and Mo Li's tight grip made Baili Jiuge startled, and turned his eyes to receive his gaze.With such a gentle expression like a mess of flowers, the meaning to be conveyed can be understood convincingly in a hundred miles and nine songs.

She responded to Mo Li with a smile, and slowly moved forward from Mo Li, offering the tiger talisman to Baili Weiming with both hands, with a warm and shallow smile on her lips.

Baili Weiming cupped his hands, without saying a word, and took the tiger talisman.

Mo Li said: "Then I will leave with Jiuge. Qiuhang felt resentful in his heart yesterday, so I ask General Guanxi not to blame him."

"will not."

Mo Li then took Baili Jiuge's hand, and when the two walked out of the pavilion, a lieutenant's voice sounded behind them.

"General Kansai, you let them go when you ran into them in the wild last time. Although it is against our style to bully the few, the big merchants are already in jeopardy. The general should make a decisive decision to take down Prince Zhou and end the war. "

Baili Jiuge's body trembled, and he was about to scold with his sleeves, but Mo Li clenched his little hand tightly.

He smiled, his eyes had already turned three feet of frost, "Your Excellency, are you sure you can hold it? You must have heard about the skills of the people in the Seven Flower Valley. Then, you should know that there will be no harm in provoking disputes." good consequences."

The lieutenant general was suffocated, showing an apologetic expression, and cupped his hands, "General Kansai, the last general made a slip of the tongue."

Baili Weiming was noncommittal, suddenly took out a battle card from his jacket, and threw it out with his hands.

Amid the crisp sound of the battle post falling to the ground, the red skirt fluttered like a cloud of fire that had ignited half the sky, and the corner of the skirt brushed over the battle post.Baili Jiuge glanced at Mo Li with a smile, sucked the battle post into his hand instantly with internal force, then pulled out the same battle post from the skirt of his clothes, and flung it back gracefully.

Pa, accompanied by the sound of the battle post falling, was Baili Jiuge's hearty laughter: "Brother's challenge, we accept it, and I, Baili Jiuge, will definitely do my best. Farewell, see you on the battlefield!"

The red skirts were fluttering, and the crane capes were graceful. The two of them rode on the horses, raised their whips, and the horseshoes raised a beautiful withered yellow.

The two backs gradually merged into the bright sky, until they were far away, Baili Jiuge seemed to be able to hear Baili Weiming's vigorous and sharp promise behind him.

"See you on the battlefield."

Yes, see you on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, there is no brother-sister relationship anymore, only tit-for-tat and hand-to-hand handover.

However, Baili Jiuge still laughed profusely.I suddenly felt itchy in my heart, I was looking forward to the confrontation later, I wanted to witness with my own eyes how Mo Li and his elder brother fought wits and courage, and I wanted to help Mo Li until I saw the end of this competition.

Looking at the two figures that disappeared into the horizon, the lieutenant general who slipped his words just now said with some guilt: "This Baili Jiuge is a true temperament, if Concubine Ping is like this, maybe the Holy Majesty will not indulge in sex and delay state affairs. "

A general beside him changed his eyes and said quickly, "You are crazy, how can you talk about Your Majesty?"

"I am telling the truth……"

Another person said: "It is indeed true. It is said that your Majesty did not care about the cities lost by Da Shang, but just blindly exploited them, so that the people of Da Shang are still being helped by Zhou Guo."

"You're right. Originally, Yin Zuoxiang's death aroused people's resentment, but His Majesty still didn't want to repent. As for the matter of Guicheng, even an upright and loyal person like General Yang Yan was willing to surrender to Zhou Guo. Your Majesty is simply We are digging our own graves! Let us all ask ourselves, if Zhou Shizi is willing to return the tiger talisman, he is far superior to His Majesty in terms of character alone!"

"Oh, you two just stop talking."

Someone cupped their hands and said: "General Guanxi, let's go back to Shaocheng to prepare for the war. A man who protects his family and country will not die!"

Baili Weiming stared at these loyal subordinates with bright eyes, and simply said two words: "Go back to the city."

A group of people left, only Wangjiang Pavilion was still standing there, guarding the Tangtang River...

Because the grain and grass were robbed, Qiuhang hurried back to Lanzhuang to deal with the funeral affairs of the Zhuang Ding, and bought new grain and grass to be shipped over quickly.And the battle between Mo Li and Baili Weiming broke out very quickly. At first, it was just a small trial. The two sides confronted each other head-on in the traditional confrontation method, which was also a test of each other's strength.Mo Li is meticulous and thorough, and Baili Weiming does not give up too much. After a few days of fighting, it is almost a tie.

On the fifth day, Mo Li said firmly: "It's ok, we can start the arrangement today."

Baili Jiuge knew that Mo Li must be preparing something secretly, but he never expected that during the confrontation in the past few days, there was an extra tunnel in a corner of Lucheng!
This tunnel is exactly what Mo Li has been ordering people to dig, and it happens to lead to the forest outside Lucheng.

"Mo Li, why do you want to build such a tunnel? Is this also a trick?" Baili Jiuge asked Mo Li.

He laughed softly: "Since we want to make a fuss, we must plan ahead."

Baili Jiuge nodded, looking at Mo Li's next arrangement.

Two days later, the gates of Lucheng were opened wide, and [-] soldiers, wearing commoner clothes and carrying sickles, went to the forest west of Lucheng to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables according to Mo Li's instructions.

The scouts of the Shang army quickly inquired about this movement, and immediately rushed back to Shaocheng to inform Baili Weiming.

Baili Weiming said: "Explore again."

Then at the second quarter of the unitary hour, the scouts came back to report that the Zhou army soldiers who went out to cut firewood and dig wild vegetables in the morning returned to the city, carrying a lot of firewood and carrying large and small bags of wild vegetables, as if they had to store food and grass because they were robbed. Some raw materials for fire and wild vegetables to satisfy hunger.

Baili Weiming thought for a while, and said: "Zhou Shizi is familiar with the strategies of military strategists, there may be fraud, you continue to explore."

"Yes." The scout followed suit.

For the next three days, the situation was still the same. Zhou Jun's soldiers were busy cutting firewood and digging wild vegetables.

The chief and deputy generals of the two armies under Baili Weiming said one after another: "Why don't you take advantage of this time to attack Lucheng and recover the lost ground?"

The scout reported: "Although 5000 of them go out of the city every morning, the defense in the city is much tighter. I'm afraid it will not be easy to attack the city."

The chief and deputy generals exchanged glances with each other, "It seems that during this period of time they want to accumulate food reserves and concentrate on defense. We may not be able to take advantage of the attack on the city. It is better to wait until they stop storing food and withdraw the defense, and then choose a time to retake Shaocheng. .”

Baili Weiming remained silent for a while, his eyes flashed a little, he was slightly startled, and said: "From Shaocheng to Xianshan Canyon, which city do you pass through?"

"It's Xiangcheng."

"Xiangcheng..." Baili Weiming was thoughtful, and ordered a general to come to him, and he whispered: "Go to Xiangcheng now, hold my general, and let the prefect of Xiangcheng..."

The general nodded, wrote down Baili's unknown instructions one by one, and finally exclaimed: "General Guanxi has a clever plan, this next week, the son of Zhou is doomed!"
