Lu Ji had been in the Imperial City Division for so long, and when he saw so many people going out, he knew he had an important mission.
Although he knew it in his heart, he still asked on his face that his identity at this time was Orion.
"Where are you going to Feihu Villa to arrest people? Brother, look at my horse, what a good horse it is."
Long Chen said happily.
"Flying tiger? Hunting big insects?"
Lu Ji deliberately pretended not to understand.
Zhang Yong looked back at the retreating team and said anxiously: "Stop talking, come with me and I'll arrange a place for you to eat!"
Long Chen also immediately said: "Brother, he said he would arrange for you to eat at a tofu shop. You can stay there while I am away."
Zhang Yong was impatient and pulled the plane to the front of the tofu shop.
When the couple from the tofu shop saw the people from Huangcheng Division, they were frightened and hurriedly saluted: "Sir, do you want to eat tofu?"
Zhang Yong pointed to the landing plane and said: "This is our brother. He is here to help you. He will have a meal every morning and evening and a bed for the night."
"Tell those rent collectors that you don't have to pay your rent anymore, just follow what the arrest department said!"
The street in front of the Imperial City Division was within the Imperial City Division's sphere of influence, so Zhang Yong still had the power to exempt a tofu shop from paying taxes.
Originally, Zhang Yongsai came in alone for dinner, but the couple was reluctant.
But when they heard that the rent and tax could be exempted, the couple happily said: "Thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa, we will definitely take care of it."
Long Chen said happily: "Brother, wait here for me to come back."
Zhang Yong pulled Long Chen onto his horse. Long Chen waved his hand on the horse and ran to catch up with the large army.
After the meeting, Head Lu turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Yong said: "The silly boy was afraid that his brother would have no food to eat, so I arranged for him to go to the tofu shop."
Head Lu glanced at the cheerful Long Chen and said with a smile: "It's true that we have a deep brotherly love."
Feihu Villa is dangerous, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back.
Not to mention Long Chen, even if he, an old man from the Imperial City Division, went there, he might not be able to come back.
The team quickly left Jinling, and two thousand forbidden troops were gathered outside the city, ready to go.
The general leading the army was Shi Wenlong, the captain of the imperial army.
Shi Wenlong was wearing fine armor, a red tasseled helmet, a spear in his hand, and a long knife hanging from his waist. He was dressed in the standard Nanliang general style.
"Shi Xiaowei."
Ashi Xiahoulian came forward to say hello.
Shi Wenlong immediately returned the greeting: "Advisor."
The Imperial City Secretary was equivalent to a major general and had a higher status than Shi Wenlong's captain, so Shi Wenlong was quite polite.
"This operation involves brothers from the Forbidden Army."
Although Xia Houlian is of high rank, he speaks politely, which is the habit of the Imperial City Division.
The Imperial City Secretary is polite in words, arrogant in actions, and ruthless in his actions. He is known as a double-dealing yamen.
Shi Wenlong immediately said: "Anything you have to do is to do errands for the imperial court. Please lead the way."
The Forbidden Army usually defends the capital, and its duty is to kill enemies on the battlefield. They don't understand the affairs of Jianghu sects, so they let the Imperial City Secretary take the lead.
Xia Houlian smiled and walked in front with the people from the Imperial City Division, while Shi Wenlong walked behind with the imperial army.
Although there are more than 2,000 people in the Forbidden Army, there are only a dozen generals on horseback, and the rest are on foot.
Long Chen looked back at the imperial army and asked, "Why don't they ride horses?"
Zhang Yong said proudly: "Boy, remember, we are masters of human beings, and it is a blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes to be able to enter the Imperial City Division!"
Long Chen pretended to be proud and said: "I didn't expect that the Imperial City Division has such a high status, so will I be able to marry a wife soon?"
The spies next to him were all laughing, and Long Chen didn't mind. However, Zhang Yong felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking to Long Chen.
The team walked south for more than two hundred miles. The army camped and rested three times along the way, and finally entered the mountains.
It was already evening, and there were mountains and rivers ahead, and the mountain roads were rugged and difficult to walk.
Xia Houlian said: "Shi Xiaowei, please camp and rest on the spot. We will go back to the mountain tomorrow."
Shi Wenlong looked at the sky and realized that it would be unwise to go into the mountains at night, so he said, "Okay, let's camp here."
Everyone camped in the open space in front of the mountain pass. The Imperial City Division and the Forbidden Army separated, the tents were set up, and the pots began to be cooked.
Long Chen observed the terrain. There was a fan-shaped valley mouth to the south, dense forests surrounded the east and west sides, and there was open space to the north.
Such terrain should be far away from the mouth of the valley. Neither Xia Houlian nor Shi Wenlong knew how to march.
This is already the territory of Feihu Villa, with dense woods on both sides. If it were attacked at night, it would be impossible to withstand it.
Long Chen found Lu Wenfeng and said, "Boss Lu, we are not safe here."
Lu Wenfeng was a little unhappy and said, "Why is it not safe?"
Long Chen pointed to the dense forests on both sides and said: "There are dense forests on both sides, and the valley entrance is in front. In a fan-shaped place like this, if Feihu Villa rushes out from both sides at night or sets fire to it, where will we run?"
Lu Wenfeng stood up and looked around and found that this was indeed the case.
Lu Wenfeng looked at Long Chen in surprise and asked, "Do you still understand this?"
Long Chen chuckled and said: "Boss Lu, when we hunt, we must either find a cave to hide at night, or find an open place."
"We are most afraid of being in a location close to the woods. If a wild animal rushes out of the jungle, it will be impossible to escape."
"I think it's safe to go outside to the open space. Once someone comes running over, we can find it immediately."
Lu Wenfeng nodded and said: "It makes sense."
Lu Wenfeng immediately ran to Xia Houlian to report that it was not safe here.
Xia Houlian observed it carefully and felt that it made sense. He immediately ordered the Imperial City Division's troops to move out and set up camp in the open space, with sentries patrolling the outside.
Zhang Yong patted Long Chen on the shoulder and said, "You can do it, kid. You have a bright future."
Long Chen smiled: "Don't say it's useless, let me eat until I'm full."
Zhang Yong said with a smile: "He is really a foodie. If you have dry food, you will be satisfied!"
Shi Wenlong camped at the mouth of the valley and saw Xiahou Lian moving out. He thought that Xiahou Lian was a noble person and did not want to mix with them, so he felt very unhappy.
When the large army was setting up camp, in the dense forest on the east side, a thin man was quietly observing.
After seeing clearly, the man slowly exited the dense forest and walked south along the mountain road.
After walking a few miles, a huge roar of water came, and then a castle-like village appeared in front of us.
The city walls were lit with torches and patrolled constantly.
The man arrived at the city and shouted: "It's me, open the door!"
The people on the city identified the man and immediately hung him up on the city wall with a rope.
Untying the rope, the man hurriedly entered the house in the city, where Peng Mao lived.
After entering the gate and walking through the courtyard, I saw a man with broad shoulders, a big nose and a beard sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle, with four stocky young people standing next to him.
The man in the middle is Peng Mao, the owner of Feihu Villa, and the four people next to him are Peng Mao's four sons: Peng Xing, Peng Li, Peng Hao, and Peng Cheng.
The thin man hurried in and reported, "Master, those lackeys are here."
Peng Mao immediately asked: "How many people are here?"
The thin man replied: "There are about 2,000 Imperial Guards, and there are more than 50 green-headed flies."
When Peng Mao heard that 2,000 imperial troops had arrived, his face became even darker.
"The Forbidden Army actually came..."
Peng Mao expected that the Imperial City Division would send troops to surround and kill him, but he did not expect so many troops to come.
