    Chapter 471: An imperial envoy came

    Mou Liangbi ordered his men and horses, prepared food and fodder, and prepared to go down the mountain. He handed the wine bag filled with poisonous wine to his cronies and told him to take it with him carefully. He changed into his official uniform and added a thin ring chain armor inside.  .  After the preparations for the troops of the fifth battalion were completed, he got on the horse and was about to give orders to go down the mountain. Suddenly someone came flying from a distance. Mou Liangbi looked at it and saw that the man was Wanyan Zhongde's man, his name was Sarbei.  Wanyan Zhongde's personal companion.

    "Your Majesty, please come to the Cold Riding Camp quickly. Your Highness Your Highness accidentally fell from a height while climbing this morning and was seriously injured."

    Mou Liangbi's expression changed. He looked at the team behind him who was ready to go. After pondering for a moment, he ordered his confidants: "Let the team wait here. I went to see His Highness and will be back soon." He got off the horse and followed Sa.  Erbei walked towards Hanqi camp behind him.

    "Why did Your Highness fall?"

    "Early this morning, His Highness said that the weather was particularly good, and he planned to climb a mountain to wait for the sunrise. He only took a few people with him to go up. Just now, the people who followed His Highness up the mountain came back carrying His Highness and said that they accidentally stepped on the air when they reached the top of the mountain.  The stone rolled down and fell halfway up the mountain. Her body was covered with injuries. The princess was crying and had no idea, so she asked the adults to come over quickly. "

    Mou Liangbi was overjoyed when he heard these words, and secretly thought it was God's will to help me.  The Hanqi camp has always been a worry for him. There is no doubt about the combat prowess of these Northern Liao barbarians, but they only listen to Yan Zhongde's orders. It is impossible for others to mobilize Hanqi.  Mou Liangbi had been thinking about how to control these ten thousand brave cavalry, but he could not think of a way. Who would have thought that Wanyan Zhongde was seeking death himself.

    "Take me there quickly."

    Mou Liangbi looked anxious, turned around and ordered his soldiers to ask his medical officer to rush to the Cold Cavalry Camp immediately.

    Sarbei said as he walked: "His Royal Highness has been in Shiwanda Mountain since he was a child. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to slip. No one expected that this would happen. When he was brought back, he was almost out of breath, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.  "There is no medical officer in the Cold Cavalry Camp. The princess asked me to come and ask you to send someone there immediately."

    "rest assured!"

    Mou Liangbi said: "His Highness and I are close friends of life and death, so I will naturally try my best to save him."

    Mou Liangbi was thinking as he walked. It would be best if Wanyan Zhongde was seriously injured and difficult to treat. If there was still a glimmer of hope, he would ask the medical officer to find a way to get rid of him.  Wanyan Yunshu was a female. Although the cold cavalry respected her, how could she know how to march and fight?  As long as he finds a way to keep this team behind and not return to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, these Ten Thousand Hanqi will be the sharpest knife in his hand in the future.

    After arriving at Hanqi Camp, he found that all the men from Northern Liao were crowded outside Wanyan Zhongde¡¯s tent.  Princess Wanyan Yunshu of Bei Liao was waiting at the door anxiously and couldn't help but look around. She saw Mou Liangbi coming from a distance, and she hurriedly came over to greet him.

    "How is His Highness's injury?"

    ¡°Very heavy¡±

    Wanyan Yunshu said: "I was already unconscious when I brought him down. I woke up when I sent someone to look for you, but my consciousness was blurred and I couldn't recognize you. I know that the Han people's medical skills are excellent. Your Excellency must do it."  Save my brother."

    "Don't worry, I will let the medical officer do his best."

    Mou Liangbi said something and walked towards the big tent.  He looked at the cold cavalry around him, hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's inappropriate for the soldiers to be surrounded here. It's best not to let them know about His Highness's injury, so as not to destabilize the morale of the army. It's better for the princess to give the order."  They go back."

    Wanyan Yunshu hummed, and immediately ordered his cronies to disperse the surrounding cold cavalry.

    Mou Liangbi opened the curtain and entered the big tent. After getting used to the dim light in the big tent, he took a closer look and saw a person lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt. There were several Beiliao people beside the bed.  The shaman on the ground was dancing strangely and muttering something.

    These shamans have a very noble status in Northern Liao, which is equivalent to the status of Buddhism in Mongolia and Yuan.  The Great Shaman can even be on an equal footing with the Great Khan of Northern Liao, and the succession of the Khan throne must be presided over by the Great Shaman to be considered legal.  As for shamans, they are actually warriors with good cultivation, just pretending to be gods and ghosts.  If someone in Bei Liao was seriously ill and the medicine failed, they would ask shamans to do the method to drive away the disease. Only Mouliangbi would not believe that it would be effective if they jumped around the patient.

    "Please ask these shamans to go out, otherwise it will be difficult for the medical officer to come and save you."

    Mou Liangbi whispered to Wanyan Yunshu, but Wanyan Yunshu was confused: "The shaman is doing it, and no one is allowed to disturb it at this time. According to our rules in Northern Liao, it is right to disturb the shaman's practice.  If you disrespect Changsheng, you will be punished by God Please wait a moment."

    Mou Liangbi wanted to say that this was a foolish move, but then he thought that it would be better if these shamans danced for a longer time. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would be for Wanyan Zhongde's injuries.

    ?He nodded immediately: "Even so, I will wait for a while."

    Wanyan Yunshu thanked him and stood with him watching the shamans dancing.  I don¡¯t know the meaning of the dance that those people danced. It was just a few moves over and over, but it was so long and smelly. It seemed like there was no end to the dance.  Mou Liangbi stood in the tent and waited for half an hour. It had been a long time since the medical officers had arrived, but those few people hadn't finished yet.

    "Soon¡­¡­"

    Seeing that Mou Liangbi¡¯s face looked a little ugly, Wanyan Yunshu quickly explained: ¡°It¡¯s almost over.¡±

    Mou Liangbi saw that the shamans were sweating profusely and thought that it was really hard for these people to pretend to be gods.  He was just thinking about Fang Jie's side, so he didn't want to delay for too long.  He took this time to sort out his thoughts again, and suddenly felt that he might have gone too far.  The imperial envoy who conveyed the order was deceived by him and went south to Houwu Mountain. Fang Jie was located in the northeast of Fangu. It was not expected that the imperial envoy found Fang Jie's location.

    The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am really losing my composure.  If he really led troops to deliver food rashly, it would arouse Fang Jie's suspicion.  At this moment, he had to be thankful that Wanyan Zhongde was injured and delayed his trip to Fangu.  If he really had to lead his troops, even if Fang Jie was poisoned to death, Fang Jie's five thousand troops would not be easy to control. A fight would inevitably occur and the losses would not be too small.

    Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone calling him in a low voice. He looked back and saw that it was his confidant standing at the door of the big tent with an eager look on his face.  Mou Liangbi glanced at Wanyan Yunshu and saw that she had been staring at the shamans, then turned around and went out to ask the cronies what happened.  The confidant said eagerly: "Another group of imperial envoys came to announce the decree, all wearing flying fish robes. The leader held the imperial edict in his hand, asking Fang Jie to receive it."

    "But that group of people from last time?"

    Mouliangbi asked in shock.

    "no!"

    Mou Liangbi frowned deeply, thought for a moment and said, "Please invite people to the tent first, I will go back immediately."

    He looked back at the tent and found that the shamans had finally finished their weird dance. They stopped to wipe their sweat and whispered something to Wanyan Yunshu, glancing here from time to time.  For some reason, Mouliangbi always felt that there was no kindness in the eyes of those shamans who looked over.

    He didn¡¯t have time to talk to Wanyan Yunshu, so he turned around and walked out quickly.

    When he left, Wanyan Yunshu also turned to look at him. Because he was too far away, he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. If he had come closer, Mouliangbi would have noticed that Wanyan Yunshu had already narrowed his eyes.  The crescent moon's eyes were astonished.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Still some distance away from the school grounds, Mouliangbi heard a roar of cheers from the team.  His expression couldn't help but change, and he quickened his pace towards the camp.  Just when it was about to arrive, the cronies he sent back before hurried back.

    "Sir, something bad is happening!"

    The confidant's face was extremely ugly: "I went to ask the imperial envoy who announced the decree to wait in the big tent, but those people didn't pay attention at all. They actually read out the decree directly. The school field was full of soldiers who were preparing to go to Fangu. The imperial envoy stood in front of those  The imperial edict was read in front of the soldiers, saying that with your Majesty's commendation, each soldier would be given ten acres of land and a reward of one hundred taels of silver. All the owed wages would be settled and distributed after the victory.  Officer upgraded."

    "what else!"

    Mou Liangbi asked eagerly: "Andandappoint Fang Jie as the marching commander to preside over military affairs, and everyone will be under his control."

    "March Commanderthese imperial envoys are fake!"

    Mou Liangbi's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of coldness: "Assemble my personal troops to come over and surround all those people. No one is allowed to leave!"

    His cronies immediately agreed, turned around and ran away.  At this time, Mou Liangbi's soldiers were also listening to the imperial envoy's announcement on the school grounds, and they also cheered and applauded along with everyone.  The decree was full of praise for the soldiers, and the rewards were generous, so the soldiers were naturally happy.

    Seeing Mou Liangbi from a distance, someone immediately pointed at him: "Master Imperial Envoy, that is Master Mou, and now he is taking command."

    "oh"

    The minister who announced the decree almost nodded, came down from the height, and walked towards Mou Liangbi with a group of flying fish robes behind him.

    "Surround all these people!"

    Mou Liangbi pointed at the flying fish robes, and all the people in the soldiers who had just arrived were startled.  They first glanced at Mou Liangbi, and then looked for answers in each other's eyes.  It's a pity that no one knows what caused the confusion.

    "These people are all fake, they are not imperial envoys"??¡±

    Mou Liangbi loudly said: "The imperial envoy sent by His Majesty has arrived a few days ago, and many people saw it with his own eyes! You idiots, how can you be so deceived and not realize it?! These people are all fake, and they are not from the imperial court at all.  People who came. Have you forgotten that the imperial envoy just left a few days ago?"

    The man in the flying fish robe at the head snorted, smiled coldly and said: "Master Mou, do you recognize the imperial edict in my hand? Do you recognize the clothes we are wearing? You said that an imperial envoy came to announce the edict a few days ago.  Where are the people?¡±

    "Already left!"

    Mouliangbi said loudly.

    "oh?"

    The man sneered: "You said the person has left, where did he go? You said the imperial envoy has announced the edict, so where is the edict? Do you dare to take it out and let everyone see it."

    "The imperial envoy passed onoral instructions!"

    Mou Liangbi said angrily: "Where did you come from, how dare you pretend to be angels!"

    "Ha ha!"

    The man laughed and said, "Oral message? His Majesty sent people all the way to deliver the oral message? No one believes your words even to a three-year-old child! What I hold in my hand is His Majesty's decree in his own handwriting, as evidenced by His Majesty's seal!"  It is written clearly that General Fang is appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army to take charge of military affairs. Who can testify to your oral instructions? "

    Mou Liangbi said angrily: "Your Majesty's order is for me to take charge of military affairs!"

    "oh¡­¡­"

    The man yelled and looked at Mou Liangbi with disdain: "Master Mou, are you crazy for wanting to lead an army?"

    These words made Mou Liangbi¡¯s expression change immediately!

    No!

    There was a flash of lightning in his mind, and some things that he had not thought of before became immediately clear.  When Fang Jie did not come, he sent a personal attendant who said he would arrive at night, and also told him that an old friend was in the capital.  This was told to him on purpose, just to upset him.  Then he gathered supplies and troops and prepared to go to Fangu in person.  But at this time, Wanyan Zhongde was injured, and he rushed to see Wanyan Zhongde. Those shamans endlessly danced weird and weird dances to delay time!  The purpose is to let these fake imperial envoys read the imperial edict in public!

    Being plotted!

    Thinking of this, Mou Liangbi's heart suddenly sank. He pointed at the man and shouted: "These people are all fake. Come on, get them all!"

    The imperial envoy holding the imperial edict held his hand on the horizontal sword and said angrily: "Mou Liangbi! Are you going to rebel?"

    The soldiers surrounding looked at each other, and then all turned their attention to Mou Liangbi.  Even the soldiers of Mou Liangbi were like this, looking at Mou Liangbi with strong doubts in their eyes.
