Chapter 199 Suspicious Man
Just as Li Qun finished speaking, a fat man with big ears slowly climbed up the tower?
Half of his body was hanging on the tower, "Are you Li Qun, the border guard?"
"Yes, I am Li Qun. Why don't you quickly open the city gate and let us in?"
Wu You didn't take Li Qun seriously at all, "You said you are who you are? Is there any evidence? If you don't stay in front, what are you doing here in Tongcheng?"
Li Qun finally figured out that the reason why the mountain was closed due to snow was just an excuse for not being able to deliver food and grass. Wu You had no intention of sending food and grass to them at all.
"Didn't it say that the mountain was closed due to heavy snow? How did your grandfather and I get here?"
"you……"
The generals on the battlefield glared casually with a murderous aura that was hard to look directly at.
Wu You didn't dare to talk nonsense to Li Qun, let alone admit that he deliberately suppressed food and grass.
He smiled apologetically, "Oh, General Li, don't you think that I, Wu, deliberately didn't send you food and grass? Then you have wronged me. The snow has been really heavy these days. I must have seen it."
If you, General Li, are afraid, then it will pass."
"Don't tell me this, give me all the food in the city."
Speaking of this, Wu You began to hesitate again, "General Li, don't be anxious. Why don't you go to the city and sit for a while, and I'll have someone prepare food for you?"
Li Qun glanced at Wu You, turned around and complained to Nangong Ling in a low voice, "Is this Wu You lying to us? When we got into the city, he told us that there was no food at all."
Even a big-hearted person like Li Qun could see something was wrong, let alone Nangong Ling.
He knitted his brows together and said, "Don't be impatient. Let's go in and see what he is up to."
The purpose of coming to Tongcheng this time is to completely solve the problem of food and grass. Let alone Tongcheng, I must break into the dragon's pool and the tiger's den.
Li Qun sat upright on the horse and said loudly: "That's fine, I'm sorry you don't dare to play any tricks."
The city gate opened wide, and Nangong Ling and Li Qun led a small group of people into the city.
The border is tight. Although Tongcheng is still some distance away from the city where the battle is taking place, all the people in Tongcheng have already left. Now the whole city is empty except for the officers and soldiers stationed here.
Nangong Ling didn't talk much along the way. Wu You had never seen Nangong Ling before. He only felt that Nangong Ling had an extraordinary demeanor, so he asked unintentionally, "Who is this general?"
Just as Li Qun was about to speak, Nangong Ling took the lead and said, "I'm just the deputy next to General Li."
I don't know what he was doing, but he said he was his deputy, and Li Qun also echoed, "Yes, yes, he is one of my deputies."
Wu You glanced at Nangong Ling suspiciously, but he didn't break the casserole and asked what was going on. He just arranged a room for them casually.
"It's winter, and it's hard to get food and grass. Please rest here for the night. The food and grass will be available tomorrow."
After he arranged everything, he went out. Li Qun just wanted to get food and grass quickly. Who knew whether the Turks would be crazy and launch a night attack at night.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" He was so anxious that he walked around the room.
Compared with him, Nangong Ling can be considered calm.
"As soon as it comes, let's make peace with it."
Nangong Ling didn't think Wu You really dared to pay attention to the food and grass. His head wasn't enough to cut off. He just wanted to hang them out for a while. After a while, he couldn't push it anymore, and then give them the food and grass.
But on the battlefield, food and grass are the life of the soldiers and should not be taken lightly.
"Your Majesty, you are really broad-minded. I can't sit still now and just want to get the food and grass back quickly."
Nangong Ling knew that he was a little impatient, and it would be best to settle things once and for all.
It's a bit cold at night, and there is only one big fire dragon in this room.
Such a small temperature will have no effect at all in such a large room.
Li Qun rubbed his hands, looked at Nangong Ling, and suddenly said, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"Go out and walk around casually."
Wu You drank some wine in the evening and went to bed as soon as it got dark.
Nangong Ling didn't hide her whereabouts when she came. Wu You only felt the crackling of rubble above his head.
Although he was not a big shot, he had once worked as an errand in Kyoto. Of course he knew how this kind of movement was caused. He had a big mouth. Before he could call someone, a glowing soft sword was pressed against his chest.
on the neck.
"Shut up."
The sharp sound was stuck in his throat. He looked in the direction of the soft sword and saw Nangong Ling's cold face.
"Who are you, General?"
He didn't dare to breathe when he looked at Nangong Ling.
"Since there is so much food, why is it so tightly covered? Who asked you to seize the food and grass?"
"Yes...that's what His Highness the Crown Prince means."
Nangong Ling didn't believe a word of what he said. He knew that it might have something to do with Nangong Chen, but there was something fishy in it.
In order to show that Nangong Chen was focused on government affairs, there were only a few concubines in the East Palace.
There is no concubine named Wu in it, so one of those people and Wu's friends must be lying.
Those people had no idea that Nangong Ling was eavesdropping on their conversation, so the one who lied could only be Wu You.
Nangong Ling held the sword in her hand tighter. The sharp knife made Wu You's neck hurt.
"Is this really what Nangong Chen means?"
When Wu You heard Nangong Ling's name for Nangong Chen, his guess became more certain.
"You...are you His Highness Prince Sheng?"
Nangong Ling did not deny it, her eyes were cold, "Since you know who I am, you should know that I can't get sand out of my eyes."
Wu You's eyes widened in horror, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will tell you, I will say anything."
Nangong Ling let go of him, and her cold eyes made Wu You speechless.
"Although His Royal Highness did not tell me personally, it was someone from His Highness who came to tell me personally."
"Then how do you know that the other person is from Nangong Chen?"
Afraid that Nangong Ling wouldn't believe it, Wu You quickly presented evidence, "Every time we meet, that person tells me not to disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince. He must be from His Highness the Crown Prince's side."
Nangong Ling himself also investigated some secrets in Kyoto, but they were not very clear yet. He already believed Wu You's words, but he still wanted to explore more.
"Everyone you meet says that he is the prince's person every time?"
"Yes, he always uses the tone of His Highness the Crown Prince to tell me to do things." From Wu You's tone, it can be seen that he is also very impatient with the other party. It is only because of his status as the Crown Prince's subordinate that he keeps suppressing his temper.
"Can you see what that man looks like?"
"My lord, what are you talking about? Since he is the prince, he will definitely not dare to show his face. Every time we meet, he puts on a black gauze and exposes his face. I really don't know what he looks like."
This is somewhat in line with Nangong Chen's cautious character.
