A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1192

[Chapter 1182 Meridian Road]

When Duan Canghai arrived in Nanzheng, it happened to be raining heavily.

There is plenty of rain in Hanzhong. People have long been accustomed to the sudden heavy rain, but Duan Canghai was not prepared. When he arrived at the prefect’s mansion, he was soaked wet. After arranging to take a hot bath and eating and drinking, I was invited to a room.

Ban Yun was the only one waiting in the house. When he saw Duan Canghai coming in, he smiled and said, “I haven’t seen you for many years, how have you been?”

When Duan Canghai saw Ban Yun, his eyebrows showed a hint of excitement, and he cupped his hands and said, “Yes…General Ban!”

Ban Yun was a general under the command of the old marquis in Jinyi. He made great achievements in Xichuan, and then he moved to Qinhuai. At that time, Duan Canghai also followed Qi Jing in the army, and he was naturally familiar with the general under the old marquis.

Duan Canghai is loyal to the Jinyi Qi family, but there are not many people in the world who can really make him fancy. He was born in the army, and in his eyes, only those warriors who have made great achievements on the battlefield with their true talents and practical knowledge. To make him respect, and Ban Yun is obviously one of them.

Ban Yun also showed a hint of warmth in his eyes, and said with a smile, “Can I have enough to eat and drink?”

“I have enough to eat and enough to drink.” Duan Canghai said hurriedly.

Ban Yun smiled and said, “You can only drink enough. The jar of wine I brought you is the most common wine in the house. I don’t drink it on weekdays. I’ll save the good wine for later.” He waved to Duan Canghai, Duan Canghai hurried over, Ban Yun smiled slightly, and then clapped his hands, and soon, several beauties filed in from outside the door, lined up in front of Ban Yun, Duan Canghai was very surprised, at first he thought They are the maids in the prefect’s mansion, but looking at their clothes, they are very gorgeous, and it is impossible for the maids in the mansion to look like this.

He couldn’t understand Ban Yun’s thoughts for a while, so he glanced and saw that there were a total of eight beautiful women in front of him. The four on the right looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. The four of them are obviously older, but they are all beautiful in appearance, thin and fat, and charming.

Duan Canghai’s heart moved, and he thought to himself that when he was full, could it be that Ban Yun actually arranged for a woman to serve him in bed?

Before he thought about it, Ban Yun asked with a smile, “If you were asked to choose one person, would you choose to sleep?”

Duan Canghai suddenly showed a hint of shyness, and said in a low voice, “General Ban, this… I’ll talk about it later, seeing that Sir, the business is important.”

“You choose one first.” Ban Yun said.

Duan Canghai read it again from left to right, and then said embarrassingly: “They are all beautiful women, this one… It’s really hard to choose.”

“So, they are all very beautiful in your eyes?” Ban Yun said with a smile: “Are the beauties in Hanzhong very attractive?”

Duan Canghai smiled and said, “They are all beauties that are one in a hundred. I have never been to Hanzhong before, but now…I only know that Hanzhong is rich in beautiful women.”

Suddenly a voice said: “In your eyes, they are all outstanding beauties, so there is nothing wrong.” In the voice, a person turned from behind, with his hands on his back and a smile on his face, it was Qi Qi rather.

Duan Canghai was stunned, Qi Ning had already come over, Ban Yun immediately saluted Qi Ning, the women saw Qi Ning’s extraordinary identity, and they all saluted Qi Ning.

“You don’t have to be afraid.” Qi Ning said amicably: “Prefect Ban asked you to come here, just to ask you to do a small favor. After the matter is completed, everyone will receive three hundred taels of silver, and it will be guaranteed that you will be safe and sound. return.”

All the girls were curious, but no one dared to ask any more questions, they just saluted Qi Ning again together.

Ban Yun waved his hand and said, “Go down first.” Duan Canghai didn’t understand when the eight girls left. Looking at the backs of the girls who were leaving, Qi Ning approached and sighed, “I just hope you don’t like it. Those four young women who have already married, if you fancy those four girls, you still have a chance, when we return triumphantly, I will give you a betrothal gift to propose marriage, what do you think?”

Duan Canghai was a little embarrassed and said, “Your Highness,

this…..!

”

“Your Majesty is not sure if these women are considered beautiful.” Ban Yun said with a smile, “So let’s take a look first. If they are indeed beautiful in your eyes, then there is no big problem.”

Duan Canghai was stunned.

“Daba Mountain has already made a cover up.” Qi Ning said, “Although there are only a few hundred people in the camp, the number of camps seems to be in the thousands. Even if Xianyang pays attention, Enough to confuse them.”

Ban Yun nodded and said, “Your Excellency, this time you are heading north, Xiaguan invites Ying to accompany the army, and I hope Your Excellency will give Xiaguan a chance to make a contribution.”

“You can’t go.” Qi Ning shook his head and said, “Once you leave Hanzhong, it’s easy to attract attention. Only by staying in Hanzhong can we act on our side.”

Ban Yun understood what Qi Ning meant, nodded slightly, frowned and said, “Your Excellency wants to arrange a fake mission to Beishan Xianyang, so naturally there must be an envoy, then…!”

“I’m too young to be a messenger.” Qi Ning said, “I’ve thought about it for a couple of days, I need to find someone who is mature and serious but can talk about it as a messenger. You are the most suitable, but you can’t leave. Hanzhong, do you have a suitable candidate here?”

Ban Yun thought for a while before saying, “There is a good candidate for the lower official, but I don’t know if it is suitable or not.”

“who?”

“Master Cao Ji is talented!” Ban Yun said: “This person is good at speaking and has outstanding talents. He is able to govern a party in Hanzhong. This person has made great contributions, and he was transferred from the capital, so he stayed here. Over the years, I have been able to speak the Hanzhong accent, but the Beijing accent has not fallen behind, if you pretend to be a messenger, you must have a Jianye Beijing accent, and this person is just right.” After a pause, he said with a smile: “Ji Jincai was a servant in the Ministry of Rites back then!”

Duan Canghai was a little confused, and was about to ask, when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a voice said: “Lord Prefect, the flying pigeons in the north have passed the book, and a secret letter has been delivered!”

Ban Yun immediately went out and came back soon, holding a small piece of paper in his hand and presented it to Qi Ning, Qi Ning took the small piece of paper, opened it carefully, leaned under the light, glanced at it, and turned his head slightly to look at Ban Yun. Yun and Duan Canghai, seeing both of them looking at him, couldn’t help but have a slight smile on their lips, and said word by word, “Beitangfeng has entered the gate!”

Before the winter, the Qinhuai Army of Chu State launched an offensive to the north along the Huaihe River. At the request of the State of Chu, the Eastern Qi Navy assisted the Chu army to cross the Huaihe River and stabilized its position north of the Huaihe River. Qi tens of thousands of elite soldiers went out of Maling Mountain and went straight to Dingtao County in the Northern Han Dynasty. Qi and Chu formed a pincer attack, forcing the Northern Han army to withdraw nearly a hundred miles back. Strategy.

Compared with the offensive of the Chu State, the progress of the Eastern Qi people was obviously faster. It only took less than ten days to capture Dingtao, and then the army was directed at Chengfu County.

The people of the Eastern Qi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Han with the combined forces to plunder more land from the Northern Han.

The Chu army was divided into two groups and launched attacks on Chenjun and Juyang respectively, but Zhong Liao obviously used the main force of the Han army to resist the Chu army. Although the Chu army was approaching the city, the defenders of Chenjun and Juyang were based. The city was defended, and the Chu army’s offensive was once frustrated.

The Northwest Army stationed in Tongguan did not act rashly for a long time, and only waited until the Chu army fell into a hard battle in Chenjun and Juyang, and Qu Yuangu finally commanded the Northwest Tiger and Wolf Division to leave Tongguan and head towards Luoyang.

At this time, Qi Ning was not in the mood to pay too much attention to the battle between Yue Huanshan and Zhong Liao on the battlefield, nor was he in the mood to care about how Longtai deployed the Chu army to attack Dongqi. For him, the problem to be overcome was In front of him is the Qinling Mountains, crawling like a giant dragon on the vast land.

Looking from a distance, the Qinling Mountains are majestic and continuous, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mists, and the empty valleys are quiet.

Where is Yunheng Qinling’s home?

Snow embraces the blue and shuts the horse.

Since Qi Ning knew that the Northern Han Dynasty had also set up a post on the Meridian Road, he naturally dispelled the idea of being stronger than the Meridian Road. The only way to cross the Meridian Road was to pretend to be a mission to Xianyang.

In addition to the eight women selected by Ban Yun’s people, there were also forty warriors with outstanding skills. Half of these people were the Black Scale Battalion warriors brought over from the capital by Duan Canghai, and the other half were close to Ban Yun’s men. guard.

Being in the front line of Hanzhong, it is difficult to guarantee that the Northern Han people will not send assassins, so Ban Yun has always been surrounded by a group of guards who are not afraid of death but have amazing combat power. people.

Qi Ning was unable to appear as a messenger, and followed Ji Jincai as an attendant.

Ji Jincai is nearly fifty years old, with a thin body and fluttering long beard. At first glance, he looks like a scholar who has read poetry and books. Ban Yun recommended this person to be a messenger. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Qi Ning saw Ji Jincai for the first time. , then you know that Ban Yun’s recommendation is not wrong.

Ji Jin only had a pair of eyes that seemed very shrewd at first glance, but the whole person was restrained and looked very self-restrained. After learning about his task, he did not go out for two days and was fully prepared.

There were four carriages in total, the two carriages in the front were seated with eight women, while the two carriages in the back were filled with fine wine and boxes of antique treasures.

A group of people entered the Qinling Mountains from the Meridian Road. Soon Qi Ning knew that the situation on the Meridian Road was much more difficult than he expected. At first, he only thought that the Meridian Road was just a narrow road, but after entering the Meridian Road, the road was narrow. Needless to say, what made him even more helpless was this so-called narrow road, which was really not a road. Road, in some places the carriage could not pass at all, fortunately there are many warriors in the team, and people often carry the carriage away.

Qi Ning knew that if he continued like this, he wouldn’t be able to go very far. Everyone’s physical strength would be spent on vehicles, but without a carriage, it was impossible for those women to walk through on foot. The young women are also family members of a good family, and there is nothing they can do. They can only walk for a while and take a break. Moreover, this narrow road is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. Pass a carriage.

Walking through the Meridian Road, it looks very dark all day long, just because the mountains on both sides are towering, even if the sky is clear, it is difficult to cast the sunlight down. Sometimes Qi Ning even has an illusion, as if the team has been swallowed by monsters, and a group of people are on the way. The troll’s intestines are normal, and the cold air in the mountain road is suffocating. Fortunately, I have enough clothes, otherwise it would be difficult to know for sure whether those women can really hold on.
