Wu Shaoyi nodded and called the guide sent by Lu Yao in front of him: "Do you know how to get to Shaoziyan?"
Suddenly hearing the words "Shaozi Rock", the guide was stunned and opened his mouth.
He quickly responded: "I know, it's far away. Do you want to go now?"
But his surprise and hesitation were seen by Wu Shaoyi, and his face immediately darkened: "Tie him up."
People from left and right swarmed up and tied up the guide.
"What happened at Whistle Rock that shocked you like this?"
The guide quickly denied it, but Wu Shaoyi was too lazy to pay attention to him and patted the luggage on the horse.
The bag moved a few times, and then a sable came out.
It looked like it had just woken up, its eyes were groggy, and it even washed its face with its front paws.
Wu Shaoyi asked it: "I remember that you were born in this mountain forest?"
Sable nodded.
"Do you know the Whistle Rock?"
The little guy nodded again.
The counselor hurriedly said: "Since we sent Sable out, why don't we also explore the Fairy Village together?"
Wu Shaoyi also had this intention, so he took out two small dried meats as reward and handed them to Sable.
The sable took it and chewed it, then jumped off the horse and slipped into the grass.
It was so fast that everyone could only see the blades of grass swaying, moving from near to far, and then disappearing into the darkness.
The counselor made another suggestion: "While we are at this moment, why not bring some of the brothers down the mountain up so that we can plan for the follow-up."
Wu Shaoyi nodded: "Then bring them all up."
His team was smaller than Lu Yao's, with only 1,100 people. He brought more than 200 people up the mountain, and there were only about 800 people left at the bottom of the mountain. So he simply called them all up the mountain to prepare for any unexpected events.
In the silence, Wu Shaoyi couldn't help but think of the holiday between herself and Lu Yao.
The two sides have long been enemies. If it weren't for Pei Xinyong's repeated persuasion, he would have wanted to take this team back to his hometown.
It's very happy to occupy the mountains there and be the king, recruit troops and horses.
When Da Sima was in trouble in the north, Yuan Ting would be overwhelmed just to deal with him. How could he have the energy to take care of the south in a short period of time? So he, Wu Shaoyi, at least had a lot of leisure time.
Wu Shaoyi was not sure whether this was right or wrong.

"Has it been half an hour since the letter was sent?"
After receiving a positive reply, He Chunhua straightened his clothes and went to the entrance of the village surrounded by seven or eight people.
Maotao stood in the middle line drawn by both sides and shouted towards the west of the village: "Come out and see General Lu!"
He shouted three times in a row, and his voice echoed throughout the village.
Some gangsters came out and asked, "What are you doing?"
Maotao said loudly: "If your general invites you to eat fish, we adults will treat him to a drink, twenty-year-old wine brewed from Lingquan in the northwest!"
The gangster sneered: "Who knows if there is poison in your wine?"
"Fish are not poisonous, so wine is naturally not poisonous."
Of course, the gangster couldn't make the decision, so he went to report it himself. Other companions came closer, watching eagerly.
Along the center line, the two sides faced each other again.
The campfire by the lake had not been extinguished. He Chunhua opened a wine jar himself, asked his guards to fill it with wine vessels, and slowly heated it in hot water.
After a while, the rich aroma of wine overflowed.
It happened that the wind was blowing from the lake to the village, naturally carrying the aroma of wine into it.
After half the time of burning the incense, Lu Yaoshi came over, rubbed his eyes and said, "Master He, are you in such a good mood?"
He Chunhua knew that he was late on purpose so that he could hang out here, so he was not angry. He pointed to the table that his men had brought over: "Reciprocity as a courtesy. This is a family recipe I brought from the capital, and I use the Xiyuan recipe from Qiansong County."
The good wine brewed by Lingquan. In the second year after I arrived in Qiansong County, I brewed the first jar with my own hands. From then on, there was one jar every year, and now there are twenty-three jars. In addition to annual family sacrifices and hospitality, I also brewed the first jar of wine with my own hands.
I will take the remaining five altars to the capital."
"When my family was still in the capital, we would donate home-made wine to the palace every year." He Chunhua smiled and looked at Lu Yao, "General Lu, don't you want to try such a good wine?"
He knew that wine, sex, and money were Lu Yao's three major hobbies, and he would not refuse anyone who came. This man also boasted of his true temperament.
Sure enough, Lu Yao swallowed several times after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he said: "Okay, since Mr. He is so interested, Lu will accompany you! But having said that before, I have had a chance, and I have been immune to all poisons for a long time.
Even if arsenic is brought to you, I will eat it like glutinous rice."
He Chunhua said: "Where did General Lu come from? Would I abuse my own good wine like this?"
Therefore, a long table was placed on the center line, with He Chunhua and Lu Yao sitting at one end, and the former pushed the wine jar over.
Lu Yao took it and smashed the sealing mud. Sure enough, a mellow aroma hit his nose. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and praised: "Good wine!"
He waved again, and the two gangsters took the wine jar, first helped him fill a bowl, and then warmed the rest.
At this time, the servants in the He family's team pushed the magnificent king fish over on a cart. The big fish had been mudded, scaled, washed, and packed naked.
It was the largest cart in the village, and it was usually used to transport hay and grain. However, it could not fully accommodate the fish, and half of the fish tail was still dragging on the ground.
This is to be eaten and cooked now.
The two men stepped forward and made a small hole behind the fish's gills, and unexpectedly pulled out a gray-white tendon that was thicker than chopsticks.
He Chunhua introduced: "The fishy tendons of lake fish must be removed first, otherwise the earthy smell will remain in the meat."
Lu Yao took a sip of wine and said, "I am very particular and worthy of being an official for twenty years."
He Chunhua looked sideways, and Lu Yao smiled and said, "Why, don't I know something about Mr. He?"
"It's a bit unexpected." After all, he was just a small border official. He Chunhua pointed at the big fish and said, "When my men picked up the fish, they found that it was completely unharmed. May I ask General Lu, how to knock this fish out?"
At that time, Lu Yao and the fish king surfaced together, and the scene was quite shocking. Although the buoyancy of water is very strong, Lu Yao's ability to lift it to the surface is amazing.
What concerned He Chunhua the most was how he knocked the fish unconscious.
Judging from its size and fish scales, it must be at least nearly 200 years old. No matter how powerful Lu Yao is, he is still a human being. He did not hold a long weapon when he entered the water, and he almost took it out with his bare hands.
This is evil.
Moreover, not long after everyone carried the fish to the shore, the big fish woke up and started flopping so loudly that half the village heard it.
This thing was weird from beginning to end.
"I picked it." Under his gaze, Lu Yao spread his hands, "Except for getting it up, I didn't do anything at all. How can you resist picking it up at such a huge bargain?"
"..." He Chunhua was speechless for a while, "The sky is dark and the earth is blind, how could you see a big fish unconscious at the bottom of the lake?"
"You don't understand this." Lu Yao said proudly, "I was born with a pair of magical eyes that can see things that others have never seen. Let alone the lake, even if there is a treasure three feet into the ground, it will not escape my discernment."
He Chunhua smiled, knowing that he didn't want to reveal it, so he stopped asking.
