Chapter 350 Mantis Catching Cicadas(1/2)
Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, I tend to walk towards the tiger mountain. Sometimes it is courage, sometimes it is stupid. ◎,
Yang Shouwen was not saying that he was afraid, but the overlap of place names twice in a row gave him a bad premonition.
Qiliting, you can say it is a coincidence, is Baishuitang also a coincidence
The most important thing is that their route to the south was originally a secret, but it was known in advance. No matter what the person who warned was thinking, whether it was warning or mischief, it means that their whereabouts were no longer safe.
In this case, there is a great risk to continue crossing the river from Baishuitang.
What if
No one can bear the result, and it is likely that someone will die.
"Sanlang, why are you following Yang Qingzhi's messing around"
Gao Jian was anxious when he learned that Li Longji was going to follow Yang Shouwen.
Li Longji said: "Liulang, I just think that Qingzhi is not a person who makes trouble for nothing. Since he said that, it must be his reason. If Baishuitang is really unsafe, what should I do is just a change of a ferry. Why do you have to worry too much?"
"Sanlang, this is the route set by the saint. If you do not follow it, wouldn't it be against the will of the order?"
As soon as Gao Jian said the words, even Pei Guangting felt that it was inappropriate.
Why did you take such a big hat to be a saint and let us act according to the situation? Why did you get involved in opposition and disobey the order?
Li Longji's face turned gloomy.
He glanced at Gao Jian and suddenly said, "Liu Lang, be close to the virtuous and good, stay away from villains, and the words of the wise men, please do your own things."
"Sanlang"
Gao Jian was a little anxious. He opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Li Longji again. However, Li Longji did not give him a chance to speak. He brought three retainers to Yang Shouwen and said in a deep voice: "Qingzhi, let's find another ferry."
Yang Shouwen nodded and turned over to the horse.
However, when he left, he glanced at Yang Sixu and saw Yang Sixu nodding slightly.
Gao Jian was a little confused now.
Pei Guangting walked forward and whispered: "Liulang, do we still want to cross the river?"
In fact, at this time, Gao Jian was also a little hesitant.
To put it bluntly, he was not unaware of the benefits of Yang Shouwen doing this. But he knew better that if he bowed his head today, he would not want to control the team again in the future. He said a thousand words and ten thousand, but he targeted Yang Shouwen just for control.
"Brother Zhou. What do you think?"
Zhou Lizhen smiled calmly and said in a deep voice: "Since Sanlang wants to follow Yang Qingzhi, let him go.
If you go to Huaiyin to rest, you can make the words clear. In my opinion, after you arrive in Huaiyin, it is best to detain Yang Shouwen and then drive him back to Shendu. Otherwise, he will be in no way good for Liulang to be here for a day."
Drive Yang Shouwen back to Luoyang
Pei Guangting and Xue Chongjian couldn't help but look at Zhou Lizhen.
This guy is poisonous enough
If Yang Shouwen was driven back to Luoyang, there would be no benefit to him. Maybe Wu Zetian would think that he was arrogant and useless. If this is true, I am afraid that Yang Shouwen's career will be like this and he will have a bright future.
In my heart, I couldn't help but be more careful about Zhou Lizhen.
Pei Min is still young and doesn't understand some things very well. But Pei Guangting understands Zhou Lizhen's thoughts.
Even if he and he were both Wu Sansi, Pei Guangting couldn't help but be alert. This guy is just a poisonous snake, very vicious. You should be more careful when you interact with him in the future. Yang Shouwen was driven back to Luoyang, will you have a good result? After all, he was the person Wu Zetian chose. But this guy killed two birds with one stone, Gao Ming
Following the Huai River to the east, Yang Shouwen and others walked for more than twenty miles and found a ferry downstream.
Wang Maozhong ran to find the ferry, while Li Longji found Yang Shouwen, and said a little worriedly: "Qingzhi, I really have to go my separate ways."
Yang Shouwen glanced at the worried Li Longji and smiled.
He whispered: "It's not that I want to part ways, but that I will continue to stay there. It's easy to have conflicts.
Gao Sheren has too much prejudice against me and cannot listen to advice. Although I don’t know what dangers will be after crossing the river, I know that our whereabouts are no longer kept secret. Now, I am in the open and dark, which is very dangerous. If I continue to walk together, there may be trouble. After we separated from Gao Liulang, we followed them secretly. In this way, we can hide and take care of us once the danger really occurs."
After saying that, Yang Shouwen gently patted the big jade on his shoulder.
Dayu let out a hawk's cry, spread her wings and rose into the air, flying towards the distance.
Looking at Dayu's shadow, Li Longji suddenly showed a sudden look and nodded repeatedly, "Qingzhi's plan is indeed brilliant."
At the same time, he was a little lucky and read Yang Shouwen correctly.
At this time, Wang Maozhong found a ferry and parked at the ferry.
Everyone took the horse on the boat and crossed the Huai River in two times to reach the south bank of the Huai River.
South of the Huai River, it began to develop after moving south. During the reign of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, the development of the Grand Canal further drove the population and economy of the Jianghuai River. However, as the popular saying in later generations: Rome was not built in one day. After the turmoil at the intersection of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the development speed of the two Huai Rivers showed a slowdown.
At least in Yang Shouwen's opinion, the two Huai Rivers at this time were not even as prosperous as Youzhou.
Large areas of wasteland and hills formed the main scenery of Huainan at this time. The deserted and desolate and miserable relationship was also Yang Shouwen's first impression of Huainan.
Li Longji straddled his horse and pointed to the southwest from a distance, "From sixty miles down there, it is Huaiyin."
Yang Shouwen couldn't hear what Li Longji said, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sanlang, I will never ignore Gao Liulang."
Only then did Li Longji notice that Yang Shouwen was left with only Yang Moli and Lu Chengzhi.
Yang Chou'er and Fei Fugui disappeared, but Li Longji's eyes turned and he guessed where they were going.
The sky begins to turn darker slowly.
Yang Shouwen and others followed the Huai River upstream and walked about twenty miles away. Suddenly, they heard a faint sound of whistling sound from afar.
"It seems that someone is setting fire"
Wang Maozhong set up a pergola with his hands and looked up.
Yang Shouwen and Li Longji also noticed the firelight in the distance. After they looked at each other, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
"Qingzhi"
"Sanlang stay, Mr. Lu is here to accompany Sanlang, Yang Moli, Wang Maozhong, and follow me."
While Yang Shouwen was talking, he knocked his horse's belly with his feet, and Dajin Xiyuyu's neighed and left with a long hooves. Yang Moli followed him closely and ran towards the source of the fire. Wang Mao Zhongze was stunned. He turned his head to look at Li Longji.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you go quickly? Remember to obey the instructions of the Congshiro."
"Here"
When Wang Maozhong received the order, he immediately urged the horse to chase him.
Seeing the three people's backs disappear, Li Longji suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Chengzhi and said, "Mr. Lu, there will be no problem."
Lu Chengzhi was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Longji in surprise.
Li Longji smiled, "I have been with Qingzhi these days. Qingzhi is eager and wise, but such a meticulous plan is not his characteristic. When I see Mr. follow Qingzhi, I believe that what Qingzhi does today is from Mr.'s work."
Lu Chengzhi smiled but did not answer.
Li Longji couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked up and down at Lu Chengzhi.
He found that he seemed to have underestimated Yang Shouwen. Unexpectedly, he had such talents around him unknowingly.
Dayu dived from the air and landed on Yang Shouwen's arm.
Fei Fugui and Yang Chou'er also came from a distance, rolled in front of Yang Shouwen and fell off his horse, knelt on one knee and said, "Young Master, there are indeed thieves ambushing in Baishuitang."
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tight heartstrings also relaxed a lot.
This means that the warning is true
“How many people are there”
"About sixty people."
"What's the situation with Gao Jian?"
"It seems that there are casualties, but the situation has been stabilized."
Yang Shouwen nodded, signaling Fei Fugui and Yang Chou'er to get on the horse, and then urged the horse to gallop away.
He rushed up a hill and heard the sound of shouts from the official road in the distance. He raised his eyes and looked at him. A group of people were fighting in the middle of the official road. At no time, screams sounded, accompanied by shouts.
"Young Master Yang, what should I do?"
Wang Maozhong took out a big knife with his backhand and looked straight in front of Yang Shouwen.
Yang Shouwen narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Don't be anxious first, Yang Sixu has not sent a signal yet, so wait patiently."
"Yang Sixu"
Wang Maozhong was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Is the young master talking about that eunuch?"
"I had a secret agreement with him before that he would cross the river with Gao Jian in Baishuitang. If an accident happened, he would warn him.
A sound of whistlebrating means an attack, but it can still be supported; two sounds of whistlebrating means that the thief is powerful and cannot be supported. He had just sent a whistlebrating, and I was waiting for his second whistlebrating to ring, and then attacked the thief from behind."
"Why not go now"
Yang Shouwen took off the tiger and swallowed the big gun, and glanced at Wang Maozhong, "How could he know that the thief did not lie in ambush?"
Wang Maozhong immediately closed his mouth. He knew that his questions seemed to be a little redundant. Li Longji had already ordered him to obey Yang Shouwen's order. As a slave to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Maozhong knew very well what he should do.
