Chapter 958: I can't bear it
In the evening, Rongshui Village is calm and peaceful, both up close and far away, as if it were another busy dinner from any village on the ground in Gyeonggi.
However, at this moment, in the fields where various stacks of straw were piled up after the harvest, there were more than one pair of vigilant eyes, watching the official road and the path leading to the village not far away. If you remove the camouflage from their heads, then the revealed face will definitely surprise people.
Because, those are all simple and honest villagers in the daytime......
When a group of more than ten people finally turned from the avenue, the villagers who were the secret sentinels clearly saw it, but did not make any reaction, and actually let such a group of people drive straight into the village.
The door of the Zhang family's mansion was half opened, and the old Liu Tou, who was dozing in front of the door, seemed to be awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, raised his head and glanced at the people, then patted his shirt and stood up and said: "Yo, there are still people who come to study and apprentice so late?" Cuiyun is in the bamboo forest behind the village, and he goes up directly along the road, and walks along the road when he enters the bamboo forest, and the Pixiu Shadow Wall turns the corner!"
Saying this, Lao Liu Tou yawned lazily, sat down on the threshold as if he had no bones, and muttered: "It's almost night, and you still come to study, these people in the capital are really interested, even if you bring guards, aren't you afraid that there will be a chaotic army outside?"
The middle-aged man who was immediately led by stared at him, then glanced at the left and right, and actually dismounted and walked towards Lao Liu. When he arrived in front of the people, he squeezed out a smile and arched his hand, and asked again: "Just now you said that there is a chaotic army outside? We are not from the capital, in order to visit the great sages here, we are in a hurry on the road, I haven't heard of such a thing, can you tell me more carefully?"
"Rebellion? Heh, that is the person from the Zhao Guogong Mansion who specially came to deliver a letter. ”
Lao Liu Tou was like those broken mouths who asked three or three answers, and said with a smile: "It was said that there were people rebelling on the side of the Tianjin Linhai camp, but they were suppressed by the Zhenhai camp, and a few rebellious troops escaped." I also know that the soldiers and horses on the ground in the entire Gyeonggi have moved, and the next thing is wanted by the world. ”
The middle-aged man couldn't help but squint his eyes, if he was a familiar person, he could see that he had already killed and hidden at this time: "If this is the case, compared to the danger of us walking outside, this village is not afraid of danger?"
"What's the danger here! I wondered if these rebels might steal the roads to save a sum of money and food, and then go to the mountains and forests to survive and then go to the deep mountains and forests. The nobles in the cuiyun room at the back of our village all have a lot of guards, as long as the rebels are smarter, they won't come here. Those nobles said that instead of running around, it was better to wait for the capital to send someone to protect them!"
"I see, thank you dude for your advice. ”
The middle-aged man raised his hand to thank him with a deep look in his eyes, and then returned to his mount, and when he saw that his subordinates were looking at each other, he coughed, and then said: "Okay, just follow the instructions of the well-wishers, and go directly to Cuiyunjian." ”
With a loud response, a group of people and horses immediately roared away. When the smoke and dust stirred up by the horse's hooves dissipated, and he listened to no suspicious movements around him, the old Liu Tou, who had just been calm, suddenly sat down, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and scolded in a low voice without looking back.
"Ah Liu, you found me a good errand! If someone dismantles my old bones, do you want your Aunt Liu to be widowed?"
The next moment, behind the closed half door, a figure flashed out, it was Ah Liu.
He held a short bow in his hand, ignored Lao Liu's complaints, and went to the intersection to watch for a while, and then said lightly without looking back: "Close the door, I'll go out first." ”
Seeing Ah Liu walking out of the door as he spoke, and then quietly disappeared into the gradually falling night, Lao Liu Tou took a sip a little unfortunately, and saw that among the other houses in the village not far away, there were gradually human figures flashing, so he immediately entered the door quickly, and after latching the door, he picked up a sickle from behind the door and stuck it in his waist.
This group of people who came was by no means a good person, although the interception at the entrance of the village may not be impossible, but with the infantry against the horse army, and the lack of such a sharp weapon as a bow and crossbow, casualties must be inevitable, the question is whether it will really be smooth after luring the enemy into depth?
So many gentlemen who have never seen danger and a group of guards can really deal with a group of vicious people?
Young Master, wouldn't this be a little too risky?
Providence is getting cooler, the sun is also setting very fast, when entering the village entrance is still hanging in the west of the sunset, when the group of people and horses along the village road to the entrance of the bamboo forest, has completely disappeared in the west horizon, night falls.
As they walked through the village, there were the sounds of pots and pans clashing, scolding children, men and women arguing, and cattle neighing...... In the face of this atmosphere of strong life, the group unconsciously let down their vigilance, and it was not until this time that they found it difficult for the horses to go up the path, and the atmosphere gradually calmed down.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, ordered ten people to stay behind to guard the horses and guard, and then lit a horse lantern, signaling the remaining twenty people to dismount and follow him on foot.
This bamboo forest is said to be in the back mountain of the village, in fact, the back mountain is just a small mound that is not too high, even if it is not very strenuous to walk at night, plus there are people in front and behind, even if someone slips or trips occasionally, there are already people who are quick to help. Trained well, they didn't make any loud noise, only the sound of their feet on the mud.
After a while, the group had already arrived in front of the shadow wall that Lao Liu Tou said. Raising the lantern to illuminate the shadow wall, seeing that there were indeed two cute iron-eating beasts above, the middle-aged man led by finally let go of his biggest worries and confirmed that he had found the right place.
Thinking of the moment of life and death in the Linhai camp before, and several times on the way to dodge the volley, he showed a sneer.
Sure enough, it is a group of pretentious and self-righteous young ladies who have no vigilance at all!
At this moment, he heard the sound of the piano drifting in the wind. If he only listens roughly, he can barely reach his ears, but if he listens carefully, his ears, which have also heard wonderful music, can't help but feel a little irritable.
As the sound of the piano stopped, it was followed by a clapping voice: "This piano is played well! I'll just say, all the people in the capital are touting Princess Yongping's good piano playing, and if you want me to say, it's much worse than you!"
The middle-aged man's forehead can't help but burst.
Right now, it's supposed to be the one who plays the piano...... No, it's definitely Zhu Ying, right? This stumbling voice can be compared to Princess Yongping?
Not to mention the identity of Princess Yongping's eldest daughter, the skill of playing the piano is also known as the first in the capital, and at the moment, this qin song, just find a Qinglou Red aunt to play better than this!
Just as he was slandering, another voice came from the side: "Zhang Chen, your praise is too exaggerated! How can Miss Zhu be compared with Princess Yongping when she plays the piano?
Xiao Shi is a, right?
Just when the middle-aged man had been forced to bear it by this explicit flattery, he finally heard a calm and distant voice: "Okay, okay, Yingying is okay to play the piano, but you are too much to praise like this! Well, the night is long, since you all said that you want to wait for Yingying's birthday, let's do ten questions first!"
At that moment, thinking of the rumored evaluation of Zhang Shou, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of the last trace of doubt in his heart.
That's right, tomorrow is the birthday of the eldest lady in the Zhao Guogong Mansion, it is normal for people like Zhang Chen and Lu Saburo to be courteous and courteous, and Zhang Shou is rumored to be so fond of arithmetic, so that Ge Yong is accepted as a closed disciple, and it is normal to be so prevaricated if he can't listen to it.
It's just this birthday...... He will bring an unexpected surprise to these unworldly young ladies who are not familiar with the world!
