Chapter 260: The Truth (2)
After Tian Hao finished talking about these things, he had consumed too much energy, and leaned weakly on the quilt next to the bed. Seeing this, Li Yi ordered someone to bring some tonic soup to Tian Hao. At this time, Li Yi's mind remembered what the shopkeeper said the day before, the official army didn't want to suppress the bandits, but just wanted to take the opportunity to make a few more money. Tian Hao's words just confirmed this, and his current tragic situation shows how strict the exclusion of dissidents in this Luoyang Mansion is.
"Just now you said that the bandits in Wan'an Mountain were not very powerful at the beginning, but they just took advantage of the risk of terrain, did there change later?"
Tian Hao ate something, had some strength, listened to Li Yi's question, and then said:
"Yes, the first few times of the official army really didn't look like a war, but after all, it can't be dragged on forever, and everyone is ready to take down Wan'an Mountain later, so that they can ask for merit and rewards. I didn't expect there to be a change on Wan'an Mountain. ”
"What's changing?" Li Yi asked, which was exactly what he wanted to know the most.
"Xiaguan once went to the back mountain to see, although the mountain road is a little steep, but it is not that it can't go up. Later, I found that there were all kinds of traps set on the mountain road, just like a ** array, and I couldn't go up at all. As a result, the officers and troops could only meet the enemy from the front, and the road in front of the mountain was like the back mountain, how many people went to it, how many people fell in, and repeatedly failed miserably, and the lower officials became the scapegoat. ”
When Li Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little secretly worried, listening to Tian Hao's words, someone must have arranged a formation on this Wan'an Mountain, and the changes in it can be understood by ordinary people.
"I don't know who is the master who pointed them out?"
The lower official was puzzled, and he also sent someone to investigate, but the spy couldn't go deep into it at all, and only heard some things in the small village at the foot of the mountain. The original bandits on Wan'an Mountain were only some farmers from nearby prefectures and counties, but a group of people came here in half a year, and they didn't know where they came from, and they cleaned up the place neatly, and it is said that there is a small town in the mountain, all of which are new people who have defected there, and they are full of food and clothing, which is enviable. But without the introduction of people inside, you can't get in at all. ”
"Have you ever fought the people inside when you were facing the enemy?"
Li Yi's question made Tian Hao look ashamed,
"It's a shame to say that the lower official has only seen one of them, and he can't make a few moves under that person's hands. ”
"But the man didn't kill you?"
"Not bad. ”
"Can those bandits kill the court officials or mutilate the people?"
"This ......" Tian Hao hesitated a little, he thought about it and said.
"I haven't heard of it. ”
"Have you ever plundered a state or county?"
"But after conquering two county towns, he took some grain and silver and left, and gave some grain to the local people. ”
"In this way, this group of people is not the same as ordinary bandits, and there is some chivalrous style, and it seems that these people who come later have a lot to ponder. ”
That Tian Hao knew limited, and Li Yi saw that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so he let him go to rest.
Li Yi returned to his room, carefully recalling Tian Hao's words just now, and couldn't help but worry about Gai Fei again. Speaking of which, Gai Fei is quite strategic and proficient in the art of the Five Elements Bagua, but I'm afraid that it is not something that one person can deal with.
Before the news came back, Li Yi could only stand still, and it was quiet for a few days, and no one came to make noise. But how can a person like Fan Liang stay in peace, his task is to make Li Yi a stumbling block. Although Li Yi made people watch Fan Liang not let him send any news to the capital, he could not restrict his freedom of action, so gradually some rumors of bad feelings for Li Yi spread in the army. such as
"The general is a gentleman, where can he lead the troops to fight, and if he does not move for such a long time, I am afraid that he is scared!"
"How can a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death be our coach?"
"People are the sons of the country, how can they be born and die like us to fight for glory and glory. ”
The henchmen brought by Li Yi were angry when they heard these words, but Li Yi told them to calm down and do what they should do.
But at this time, Li Yi was also a little uneasy in his heart, because Gai Fei had been gone for a few days and had not sent any news back, which made him have to worry about the comfort of his friends. I wanted to go up the mountain to see it myself, but I couldn't get rid of the affairs of the army, and I was afraid that the army would mutiny.
Just when Li Yi was at a loss, things took a turn for the better. That night he was so upset that he couldn't sleep, and he was sitting alone at the table when he suddenly heard a noise outside the window. The night watchman outside immediately shouted:
"Who?"
Li Yi pushed open the door and went out,
"What's going on?"
"Childe, someone threw this down and ran away, and the brothers have already chased it out. ”
Li Yi took it and looked at it, and there was a stone wrapped in a blank piece of paper between them, and some words were written on the paper, but it was still not clear by the moonlight. So he threw the stone on the ground, took the piece of paper back to the room, lit the lamp, and wrote a line of small letters on it, and there would be a lot of people in Motianling tomorrow night.
Li Yi looked at this line of words and said badly, it seemed that something should have happened to Gai Fei. Gai Fei's ability is clear to himself, he is not only a high kung fu player, but also a doctor of astrology, and knows everything about the five elements and gossip. Even such a person, the people on Wan'an Mountain can hold him, and the depth of the water of those people is really terrifying.
Li Yi called someone in to discuss, but everyone disagreed that he was in danger alone.
"It's too dangerous for Childe to go alone, Childe Gai has been captured, if Childe has something three long and two short, how can he be born. ”
"Childe go out, who is in charge of these tens of thousands of troops?"
"You don't have to say it anymore, I have made up my mind, anyway, at night, Luo Yang stayed in the courtyard for me, and when someone asked, they said that I was sick, and if I hadn't come back before dawn, I would listen to General Wang's orders. Everyone persuaded Li Yi not to listen, so he could only act according to his instructions.
Li Yi actually has no bottom in his heart, even people like Gai Fei will fall into it, how terrifying the other party's strength is. But he could not stand by and watch his brother in danger and remain indifferent. He withdrew from the crowd and stayed alone in the room, thinking about it, but the more irritable his mood became.
Inadvertently, his hand touched the purse around his waist, which was embroidered by Saitama himself, and Li Yi put a strand of Saitama's hair in it.
Looking at the purse embroidered by his wife, Li Yi's thoughts about Saitama became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't wait to go back to the capital to see her immediately. But in order to support this family business, in order to have enough ability to seek justice for Brother Tong'er, he still has to persist and be patient.
Although the future of this trip is uncertain, he is confident that he will return safely, because there are still people waiting for him.
