Chapter 843 (2/2)
And the other side.
Xie Yu stayed on the flying lamp for nearly three days. The wind and snow urged people along the thousands of miles. Even the flying lamp had to slow down.
Everyone's heart is like an arrow, but when they get to yongxue pass, the fire on the flying lamp will soon be extinguished.
Zhou Minghao can only take people here temporarily Rest on the ground and go to the city again to collect special fire oil that can be used.
Kefei's lamp just fell into the open space in the city. Ye Zhiqiu got up and reached out to help Xie Yu up. Before they could get down, the soldiers patrolling not far away rushed here.
In just a moment, they surrounded their group of people on three inner and three outer floors.
The leader was an old general in his fifties. He asked in a deep voice, ”who broke into yongxue pass without permission?”
Just as ye Zhiqiu was about to speak back, Zhou Minghao on one side said first, ”it's me, uncle sun!”
He brushed the wind and snow on his body, jumped off the flying lamp and walked towards the old general. ”I haven't seen you for several years. You are really old and strong!”
”The son of the world?” general sun saw him, and a complicated look crossed his eyes. He immediately returned to normal and said with a smile: ”no, you are Jing'an Bo now. I should call you uncle.”
”Where is this? Just call me Minghao as before. ” Zhou Minghao smiled and exchanged greetings. He suddenly raised his hand and patted his head. ”Look at my memory. As soon as I saw you, I forgot to introduce you. Come.”
He took general sun to the flying lamp and said slowly, ”this is the chief auxiliary on the left, and this is the marquis in ink on the right.” then he said to Xie Xuan and ye Zhiqiu, ”this is the capable deputy general around my father, general sun Wenhu.”
When sun Wenhu heard the speech, his complexion changed slightly. He quickly bowed his head and saluted and said, ”I've seen Lord Shoufu and Lord Moyi!”
Behind him, a group of soldiers saluted one after another.
The snow fell all over the sky, and everyone was covered with cold. The tip of their nose and ears were red.
Xie Xuan stepped down to fly the lamp and stood up in the snow. His tone was as usual: ”don't be polite. Get up.”
Ye Zhiqiu also came forward to greet sun Wenhu, and the atmosphere gradually eased down.
Sun Wenhu swept around the crowd and asked strangely, ”didn't lord Shoufu and Hou ye go to Wuzhou as ordered? Why did they suddenly come back? They didn't give us any news in advance?”
Thank you for your silence.
This is the person around Duke Zhou. Previously, Duke Zhou had been well guarding the Western Chu border. Suddenly, he wanted to come from yongxue pass, which is next to Dajin. Everyone kept guessing.
Their trip is a secret return to Beijing. If it weren't for such bad weather, they wouldn't stay here.
It seems that sun Wenhu didn't know it at all. He asked so naturally.
Ye Zhiqiu thought: Imperial secret letter. There's a ghost if I can give you news.
Zhou Minghao glanced at the crowd, and immediately knew it for a moment. He quickly rounded up the scene: ”we all came back to Beijing as ordered, and we just took a break when we passed by. As for the news... Someone sent someone to deliver it before, why? Didn't you receive it? ”
Sun Wenhu frowned and said, ”I haven't received any news.”
”It may be a snowy day. The messenger was delayed on the road.” Zhou Minghao lied with his eyes open, as if it were true. He smiled and asked, ”but we are all here. Isn't it more reliable than the news?”
Sun Wenhu nodded and said, ”that's it. That's it. The Lord Fu and the Duke will go to the house to see the Duke of the state? This is it It's not easy to get on the road. It's better to rest here for a whole night. Moreover, the Duke of China has not seen the son of God for a long time. He often misses the son of God on weekdays. It's rare for the son of God to come to support Xueguan. It's too unreasonable to see one side... ”
Zhou Minghao really hasn't seen his father for a long time.
Moreover, it was difficult for the flying lamp to set off for a moment. He looked back at Xie Xuan with some hesitation.
The first assistant thought for a moment and said in a cool tone, ”in that case, I'll bother the Duke of Zhou.”
