The Korean Peninsula was in the same Little Ice Age as the Ming Dynasty, and as it was an island, the sudden cold after autumn was even worse in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, it was close to the beginning of winter when the leaves were in full bloom, and the trees in the mountains were withered and fallen to their knees.
Hu Yazi was the Qing court's chief spy in North Korea. Of course, on the surface he was just an employee of the embassy, but in fact he was secretly responsible for monitoring the North Korean royal court. It was he who broke the last time Cui Mingji secretly communicated with the Ming court.
Not long ago, Dragon Bone came to North Korea to sound the alarm. Sensing something strange about the King of North Korea, he ordered Huyazi to conduct an investigation. After careful planning, he actually found clues, and more and more were discovered. The King of North Korea even secretly contacted him.
Those ministers who had retired to seclusion were asked to come out to serve. On the surface, they were to deal with the Luo Party, but this was by no means as simple as a struggle over North Korea's internal affairs. There must be Ming Ting behind them, so the Ming Ting's undercover agents must be uncovered.
Although no clues about Ming Ting's secret agents have been found, Hu Yazi's professional experience and intuition tell him that they are around!
So he didn't let go of any clues, and he also knew that the other party might have noticed it, because the other party suddenly became very low-key for a while and watched for several days without seeing any movement, but this did not make Hu Yazi give up or become careless.
Finally tonight, I discovered that the other party was making moves again. A group of people came out from Jinliu Mansion in batches, walked around the city a few times and then entered the palace. Looking at their cautious actions and the number of people, Hu Yazi guessed that they
It’s a big job this time!
Later, he discovered that this group of people had climbed over the wall from the palace, and there were more of them. He immediately became excited and firmly believed that among these people there were either undercover agents of the Ming Dynasty or deposed ministers. As long as these people were caught, he could dig them out.
Out the secret!
So he began to sway people, and he deployed more than twenty people around the palace. Under the encirclement, he was sure to catch them all even in the dark mountains and forests.
The manpower arrived soon, but Hu Yazi was not in a hurry to take action. He had stayed in North Korea for several years. Not only could he speak Korean and he knew the topography of Seoul well, he had also been to Beiyue Mountain several times.
Beiyue Mountain is similar to a royal garden like the Summer Palace, but it is not unique to the royal family. Although the royal court also built roads on the mountain and some pavilions and platforms, there are still villages with hunters in the mountain, and there are more than one.
At first, Hu Yazi thought that these people were just going in circles to avoid being followed, but as he followed, he discovered that the path these people took was not the official road, that is, the mountaineering road built by the Joseon royal family, but some small roads leading to the village.
This made him suspicious. If you want to avoid being tracked during the day, you can just take the trails. If you wander around in the mountains at night, people who are not particularly familiar with them will not be able to find these trails. Therefore, these people... often
Traveling to and from the mountains.
What does it mean?
Everything can be explained, but nothing can be explained, but Hu Yazi suddenly felt that they were not trying to take a detour to escape tracking, but...could they have a stronghold in the mountains? If they followed them, they would end up dead.
Wouldn't it be better?
"Head, the lights are out"
At this moment, the light faintly shining from the trees in front went out.
"Did they discover us?"
Hu Yazi shook his head and sneered: "No, the lights haven't gone out. There is a mountain col ahead, and the mountain road has a big bend there. They turned around..."
"Hey, the boss is still familiar with this." Someone complimented in a low voice, and Hu Yazi laughed: "No, I am really familiar with this place. There are several hunters in the mountain col, and I have eaten game at that hunter.
But at the time, I never imagined that that would be their final destination.”
"The head means that they are going to the hunters..."
Hu Yazi nodded: "Nine times out of ten, there is a small road behind the mountain col in a hidden terrain. You can advance and retreat, attack and defend. Now that I think about it, it is not easy for the hunters... You guys should be careful if you follow.
There is a hidden whistle."

This Huyazi was considered to be experienced, and he acted very carefully. He did not lead a swarm of people to follow him, but first sent two people to stalk and follow, and then sent three people to climb the wild slope to get around, while he led his troops to stay where they were.
wait.
Not long after, someone came back and said that he saw fire again after rounding the bend, and also saw a faint light in the mountain col, which should be where the hunters lived.
The hunters in the mountains still have light on so late at night. Who would believe that there is no problem?
Hu Yazi suppressed his excitement, but he also became more and more cautious. Although there were only nine people in front of the opponent, who knew how many more there were at Orion's side, and there were no hidden stakes here, so there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be any on Orion's side.
After a while, one of the three people who climbed the wild slope and went around also came back. They also found no hidden stakes. In fact, the fact that they came back explained everything. If the opponent had hidden stakes, they would not be able to come back, or they would have already started to attack.
There's a noise coming.
And at this time, Hu Yazi began to struggle. Should he wait for the group of people in front to arrive at the end of the field, or attack the nine people in front first just in case! After all, among the four extra people in front, there must be important ones.
People! But if you attack these nine people first, the movement caused by them will be a warning to the Orions, allowing them to prepare or escape. But if you don't attack these nine people, when they get to the end of the field, if the people over there
There are many. If you try to let important people escape, it will be a huge loss...
The situation was so urgent that there was no need to think too much. Huyazi immediately decided to divide his troops into three groups!
One person went back to call for reinforcements, and six people went straight to Orion to clear out the hidden stakes and trap them. The rest followed him and attacked the nine people in front. After taking them, they reinforced Orion. Moreover, Hu Yazi felt that Orion might not need reinforcements at this time, so he should
There wouldn't be many people, because he had been there before, and there were only two or three households with less than ten people, some of them old and weak, and he extremely suspected that those old guys were hermits in the court.
Because North Korea's ministers all have this habit, after being dismissed or retired, they like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to be arty, and they also like to live in seclusion together, so these people later became officials and were called Shan Dang.
At this time, Hu Yazi thought that those hunters were some retired North Korean ministers and were not to be feared!
It was agreed upon here, and everyone went their separate ways, but at this moment, the guy who was going to call for reinforcements suddenly fell down. Everyone thought it was dark and he didn't see the road clearly and fell down. They were about to make fun of him, but Hu Yazi had already felt
No, I was about to shout a warning, but when I heard the strong wind piercing the air, I couldn't even open my mouth and a sharp arrow pierced my head, and I was so dead that I couldn't die anymore.
There was a loud sound breaking through the air, and sharp arrows shot out from behind the rocks in the surrounding bushes. They shot over all of them immediately, and the Tatars screamed again and again. Only then did they know they were ambushed, and while shouting, they tried to escape in the dark.
At this time, dozens of people rushed out of the surrounding area and started slashing and killing...
The silence in the mountains was soon torn apart. The three Tatars who were exploring the way in the distance were shocked when they heard the sound. They didn't know what happened. They stayed there for a while and didn't know why. After a while, the killing sound gradually died down, and the three of them came together.
He lowered his head to discuss and decided to go back and see what happened.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I emerged from the bushes, I found...
