To attack and kill an army that is about to be dispersed, Qian Fengrong does not need to deliberately deploy troops and generals.
Since entering Guzhou, this land is vast and sparsely populated, and the guards are scattered, so there is no need to take it lightly.
Nie Huimo led a group of light cavalry, marching dozens of miles straight to Yushuiyuan Town.
When it got dark, he rested in an inn outside the city.
Compared with the depression that came along the way, this area of about 20 inns and tea shops was extremely lively.
People who were wandering around came to rest, people who were about to run away came to rest, and people who were working in the city and wanted to return to the village also came to rest.
When there are more people, there are more mouths. You talk to each other, and the information is messy.
Among them, the "Yongtong" inn was the busiest, with at least a hundred people crowded in the lobby downstairs.
After Nie Huimo finished taking a bath, he took Ling Yang downstairs and found a corner in the lobby downstairs.
The whole hall was noisy, and there were people drinking, throwing bowls, and getting into fights. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol, athlete's foot, tobacco, and sweat.
Nie Huimo had long been accustomed to such a mixture of good and bad people. While listening to the different opinions, he observed the people passing by from time to time outside the window. Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a horse at the diagonal corner across the street.
Ling Yang was pouring tea when he saw Nie Hui's eyes looking forward and his dark eyes darkened. Ling Yang followed his eyes and blurted out subconsciously: "It's a good horse!"
Nie Huimo said: "With so many people traveling south and north, it's not surprising that they have a good horse."
Ling Yang looked at him and said, "If that's the case, then why does the general keep staring?"
Nie Huimo said: "What's strange is that there is more than one horse. There were two identical horses that passed by just now."
Ling Yang was stunned and said: "It shows that we are not fighting alone, but a team of people like us. And in today's world, it is really not easy to have so many good people at once..."
Nie Huimo stood up and said, "Let's go and have a meeting."
The inn diagonally opposite is also very busy, with six doors open, making it almost impossible to get in or out.
Nie Huimo glanced outside the gate and led Ling Yang around.
Those horses were no longer visible. Ling Yang looked around and frowned: "I don't know where they went, but there will definitely be many eyes staring at such a good horse. General, may I go and find out?"
Nie Huimo was about to speak when he suddenly paused and looked up to his right hand.
Under the slightly dim lights in the back alley, Shen Lie was wearing a black gown, standing against the railing, looking at him silently with bright black eyes, half of his handsome face was in the light and half in the dark.
Ling Yang was shocked and said in a low voice: "It's actually him."
The moment Nie Huimo saw Shen Lie, his face turned cold. A pair of thick eyebrows pressed against the deep brow bones, and his eyes were not angry but powerful, as if he wanted to kill someone.
Shen Lie had an icy face from beginning to end, with no ups and downs in his expression, silent and cold.
Ye Zheng came out of the back room: "Master?"
Looking down and seeing Nie Huimo's master and servant below, Ye Zheng frowned: "Why is Nie Huimo here too?"
Shen Lie said calmly: "Liang Jun can find Qian Fengrong, and so can others."
Ling Yang also whispered at this time: "General, Shen Lie appears here, probably because of Qian Fengrong."
Nie Huimo's lips curled up into a faint sneer.
Ling Yang added: "We have a lot of old scores with Qian Fengrong, but the grudge he has with Qian Fengrong is probably only Miss A Li."
Nie Huimo found that he couldn't listen to these words at all, even if they were right and exactly what he was thinking.
"Shut up." Nie Huimo said coldly.
Ling Yang pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Nie Huimo gave Shen Lie a cold look for the last time, withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go."
"Um."
Ye Zheng was watching them leave from above and said: "Master, they are leaving."
Shen Lie withdrew his gaze, turned around and entered the house, saying, "Rest for another three hours and then set off."
"Just, three hours?"
"Um."
There is no city in Yushuiyuan Town, so it doesn't matter when the city gate opens, you can enter and exit freely at any time.
They can do it, and so can Nie Huimo and others.
As for Shen Lie, he didn't want Qian Fengrong to die in Nie Huimo's hands.
He concluded that Nie Huimo thought so too.
As soon as he returned to the inn guest room, Nie Huimo turned around and said to Ling Yang: "Go down, pack your bags, rest for three hours, and then set off for the city."
"Three hours?" Ling Yang asked worriedly, "General, after trekking for many days, it will be difficult to get up if the pillow is wet. If you only rest for three hours, I'm afraid you will be even more tired."
"That's why it's three hours, not two hours."
Nie Huimo walked towards the bed: "When the instructions are over, you can go and have a rest."
Ling Yang sighed, knowing that the order he gave must have something to do with Shen Lie.
Three hours, exactly the fourth quarter of Yin hour.
Shen Lie then led his troops out and stepped onto the official road. The secret man behind him said, Nie Huimo and the others also came out.
Ye Zheng rolled his eyes: "It's so haunting!"
Shen Lie did not drive the horse forward immediately. He tightened the reins and Long Ying turned around. Shen Lie watched Nie Huimo leading the people over.
After getting closer, Nie Huimo said: "It's so early, General Shen."
Shen Lie said calmly: "General Nie is not too late either."
"General Shen is so early, is he afraid that I will snatch Qian Fengrong's head first?"
Shen Lie did not deny: "Yes."
"You have a grudge against Qian Fengrong?"
"yes."
"Oh? Why? Because of Ah Li?"
Shen Lie's face was calm: "General Nie doesn't seem to be a very curious person, so why are he talking so much all of a sudden?"
After a pause, Nie Huimo said: "Because of Ah Li."
The previous sentence is a question, and this sentence is an affirmative sentence.
And the tone of this affirmative sentence suddenly became solemn and serious.
Shen Lie's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were instantly cold and full of murderous intent. The faces of Ye Zheng and other secret guards all became tense, and they all looked sulky.
Nie Huimo remained calm and calm: "Why, is it possible that General Shen is a comrade?"
After a long while, Shen Lie said: "Ali is stunningly talented, unparalleled in civil and military skills, has a world-wide mind, and is the most powerful woman in the world. She is the most beautiful woman in the world. I won't be surprised if anyone says he likes her. It is equally reasonable for General Nie to like her." "
Nie Huimo said: "General Shen hasn't said it clearly yet. You must like her too."
Shen Lie's eyes were magnanimous: "I like it, Ah Li is the true love of my heart."
Nie Huimo sneered: "I thought General Shen was a reserved person. I never thought that with your aloof, cold and arrogant character, you would not be subtle at all and just blurt out the word "love"."
Shen Lie said: "Is this something that cannot be said?"
Nie Huimo said: "Okay, General Shen can be frank, since you and I both like Ah Li, why not have a competition between men?"
Shen Lie's voice became deeper: "Okay, but this is a competition between you and me and has nothing to do with Ah Li."
Nie Huimo said: "It's natural. Ah Li is also a woman I want to cherish and love. I won't use her as a trophy. Between you and me, let's see who cuts off Qian Fengrong's head first. How about that?"
Shen Lie said: "Okay."
"There are no chips, no prizes. What determines winning or losing is just the face between you and me. Whoever loses will be embarrassed."
