In the evening, north of Guangling City.
In a small forest fifteen miles away from the city, three people dressed as farmers were walking in a hurry. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, it was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary people.
Liu Yu, Wei Yongzhi and Tan Pingzhi?
Liu Yu, who was walking at the front, stopped. The sun had already set in the west, and the last bright color on the horizon had disappeared. Liu Yu looked at the last bit of the setting sun that jumped below the horizon and sighed: "It's not the right time to come out. Look."
The only choice is to sleep in the wilderness tonight."
Tan Pingzhi took out two fire folds from his arms, handed them to Liu Yu and Wei Yongzhi, and said with a smile: "Jinnu, what skills did you use to make General Sun agree to let us go to Zhaibu? He
He doesn’t seem to be such an easy person to talk to.”
Wei Yongzhi shook his head: "No, I'm afraid this is not what General Sun meant. Junnu, who did you meet when you were asked to leave today?"
Liu Yu did not tell these two brothers about the meeting with Xie Xuan. After all, it was a military secret, and the mission of this trip also needed to be kept strictly confidential. If it were not for the fact that these two people had been to Zhaibu, the terrain there would be unknown.
The connections are all well understood, and he will not even bring his two brothers there this time. After all, the luck of the meeting this time is unpredictable, and it is not on the territory of Dajin. Everything is possible.
Liu Yu thought of this and smiled slightly: "Okay, this is a military secret and a covert operation. I can't say anything more to you. Let's sleep in the open and continue on our way tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he walked to a clearing in the forest and sat cross-legged. More than a mile away, there was the river embankment. The water of Hangou was flowing quietly from south to north. In the past, the boat
On the canal where sailing boats were passing, there were no longer two boats visible, and even the usually lively whistles of trackers could no longer be heard.
Tan Pingzhi picked up a pile of dead branches and threw them in the middle of the open space. Wei Yongzhi took out the flint in his arms and just rubbed it, and the fire ignited with blazing fire. The three of them sat in a Zigzag shape around the fire.
Each took out the dry food from the package, drank water from the bamboo tube, and ate the white flour buns.
Liu Yu shook his head, looked at the half-eaten steamed bun in his hand, and sighed: "I'm still not used to eating this northern pasta. If I go to the north in the future, I don't know how to adapt."
Wei Yongzhi smiled and said: "You will naturally get used to it after staying for a long time. Just like us, when we first came to Jingkou, we were not used to the rice and dried fish from the south of the Yangtze River, but now we have adapted to it? On the contrary, after joining the army, we changed back to the original northern noodles.
It will take a few days to get used to it."
Tan Pingzhi looked at Liu Yu and said sternly: "Jinu, you just defeated Liu Jingxuan this time, and General Sun also announced that you will be the captain. Why are we going to Ding Lingzhai Department at this time? Are you following?
What’s the connection between the Qin army going south? You said this is a military secret, but if it’s exposed a little bit, it’s no problem. Are we trying to win over Ding Ling and Zhai’s troops as a helping hand?”
Liu Yu looked at Tan Pingzhi's eyes, which were full of expectation. Wei Yongzhi also looked at him with the same eyes. He sighed and said: "Okay, we are friends who have passed our lives. Now that we have left the military camp,
I won’t hide it from you, this time when we go back to the Zhai Department, we have to contact someone, and the one who gave us this order is not General Sun, but Commander Xuan!"
Wei Yongzhi nodded thoughtfully: "It's exactly what I guessed, but Commander Xuan is really elusive. I didn't see anyone else today."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "He disguised himself today and mingled with Huan Xuan's guards because he didn't want us to see that the Qin captives in the north had begun to attack Xiangyang, and Huan Chong, the governor of Jingzhou, also led an army of 100,000 to the north to attack.
I'm afraid that a war will start here soon, and there seems to be some connections between Commander Xuan and Marshal Xuan in the Qin State. What we have to do this time is to go to Zhai and meet Commander Xuan's friends."
Tan Pingzhi gritted his teeth: "The Zhai tribe never welcomes other people to their territory, unless that person has some special relationship with the Zhai tribe. Back then, we were being hunted and fled to the Zhai tribe. They defeated the Zhai tribe.
They wanted to keep us as tribesmen, but later we insisted on leaving. Zhai Zhen, the leader of the Zhai tribe, lost an arrow contest with me, so he let us go."
Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully: "So, Zhai Bu kept you because you are highly skilled in martial arts and will be useful to them?"
Wei Yongzhi sighed: "Yes, if people are incompetent, they will be plundered as slaves. Even though these Dingling people have been in the Central Plains for decades, they are still the same as the law of the jungle on the grasslands. And they don't do much.
To produce, we have to go out in gangs to rob every month. After returning, the spoils will be distributed according to merit. It can be said that it is a den of robbers from a foreign race. We don't like it, so we have to leave."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Anyone who dares to come to this bandit's den is not a good person. It is probably because of the special characteristics of Zhai Bu that he dares to trade here. However, this time Commander Xuan specially asked
, don’t scare the snake, if there is really danger, go to the leader of the Zhai Department for help, it will be up to you then.”
Tan Pingzhi said with a smile: "It's just that this time we came empty-handed, I'm afraid Zhai Zhen is not happy either. Last time we left almost all our belongings in order to leave. These Dingling people are very greedy for money and will never do anything that is not beneficial."
I don’t know how to do it. Zhinu, did you bring any money to buy the journey this time?”
Liu Yu was slightly startled: "To buy money for the road? Xuan Shuai didn't give it to me."
Tan Pingzhi's smile froze on his face: "What, if you don't have money to buy the road, then it will be miserable this time. Zhai Bu is a guy who only recognizes money and not people. He is empty-handed and wants to escape unscathed. I'm afraid he won't be able to escape."
easy."
Liu Yu curled up his lips and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Um, is there a casino in Zhaibu?"
Wei Yongzhi reacted immediately: "Why, you still want to gamble? You haven't remembered the beating you received last time? Didn't you say that if you gamble again, your hand will be chopped off?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "In urgent matters, I can't control so much. At worst, I can just chop my hands with the back of a knife. It won't be a violation of my oath."
Tan Pingzhi took a sip of water angrily: "Ji Nu, that's the only bad thing about you. You always like to cheat, and you will do the same if you swear. Be careful that there will be retribution in the future."
Liu Yu smiled "hehe": "Retribution will come later. Let's get over the current trouble first. By the way, how is Ah Shou doing now? There won't be anything abnormal after he loses to me."
Wei Yongzhi smiled slightly: "This guy, after losing, acted like a normal person, and took his group of people to train again. It seems that he will still be able to fight with you in the future, and he will not be convinced this time."
A familiar voice came from the path in the forest: "Liu Yu, where are you going?"
