Chapter Ninety-Six: Deliberation

The sixth master sighed and said, "I already know. He looked back at the deputy general Zhou and asked, "Jiu'er is in their hands, you are chasing Jiu'er, right?" ”

The eighth master's jaw was about to drop in shock, and he looked at the sixth master and Vice General Zhou in surprise, and stammered: "Or... gave them the things he was escorted and exchanged them for Jiu'er. There is nothing in this world that is more important than Jiu'er! He thought to himself, "This group of people doesn't look like stragglers, and the leader may be able to do what he says, otherwise... How to command them. ”

The sixth master looked back at the deputy general of Zhou again, and shook his head in distress: "This really can't be changed." ”

The eighth master was anxious and said, "Sixth brother, is your errand more important than Jiu'er's life..."

The sixth master couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, he had been in the army all the time, although he still had a little bit of gentleness as a scholar when he was a child. But it also depends on who you compare with. The eighth master saw his angry eyes at this moment, and his face turned black and red, and he couldn't help shrinking in fright, but he couldn't help muttering: "Okay, okay, if you don't change, then I'll see how you will explain to your father and mother in the future." ”

The sixth master was already irritable in his heart, and when he heard this, he was like a firecracker that had been ignited, and roared angrily: "Come on, drag it out and beat me with ten army sticks." ”

Vice General Zhou on the side hurriedly waved his hand to the sergeant who came over: "Vice General Xia, don't be impetuous, although he is your brother, he is not a soldier under us, how can you say that you will fight." ”

The eighth master is a young child, and he is naturally indispensable for the bad habits that ordinary people's youngest sons have. When he was sensible, several adult sons of the Xia family were quite competitive, and he naturally didn't worry about everything, and his own brothers who were inappropriate carried it for him. But for this sixth brother who grew up together, he was afraid of love, and he couldn't help but be timid when he saw him thundering like thunder at this time.

The eighth master heard that Vice General Zhou came over to persuade peace, and saw that his brother picked up the water bladder angrily and drank a few sips of water, and never said anything about beating him. He was an extremely sensitive person, but because of his sister's disappearance, he was upset. At this time, I settled down and immediately understood the delicate relationship between the two: "Although the sixth brother is the deputy general, the one surnamed Zhou is also the deputy general, how can it seem that the one surnamed Zhou is the one who is in charge." ”

The sixth master put down the water bladder, saw his younger brother's eyes rolling, and kept going to the deputy general Zhou, and hurriedly reprimanded: "I have this matter, you don't think nonsense there." ”

Vice General Zhou pondered for a while and said: "Vice General Xia, I'm afraid that after they get me, they won't let Miss Xia go, at that time they have me in their hands, I am afraid that they will be even more unscrupulous and unscrupulous, and Miss Xia will be more dangerous at that time." If not, Zhou would have met them. ”

The sixth master waved his hand: "Vice General Zhou, this kind of thing, you don't have to say it again." As soon as the last breath remains, I will not give you over. ”

No matter how reckless the eighth master is, he knows what the situation is at this time, and he secretly thinks in his heart: "Why is this young general actually Princess Yi's birthday gift, oops, confused, his surname is Zhou, and King Yi is also surnamed Zhou." Could it be..."

He was still thinking about it there, and the sixth master asked: "Don't you keep an eye on Jiu'er, you want to take her out, what are you doing here on the runway." ”

The eighth master was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly argued: "I'm not here to report the news. As he spoke, he also figured it out, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and secretly thought: "Why do you need me to report this, the sixth brother knows everything." ”

The sixth master frowned and asked again: "Now is Rushan following Jiu'er?" ”

The eighth master shook his head: "Rushan is guarding at home, and the fifth brother sent me to come over with Vice General Xue." Vice General Xue asked for leave to come out to find Jiu'er this time, he said that although the mountain roads in this area are not steep and tortuous, there are a few places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he is afraid that you will be ambushed without knowing it, so he asked me to come over to deliver the letter first. ”

Vice General Zhou said on the side: "In this way, we are fifty percent sure." Xue Yu has always been bold and careful, his kung fu is good, if he grabs the right place, it should be easy to rescue Miss Xia. ”

After that, he beckoned to the eighth master to come over: "Yan Zhao, did Xue Yu say that it is suitable to set up an ambush." ”

The eighth master leaned over and looked at the map, and thought to himself: "It would be nice if Jiu'er was here, although she is sparse in everything, but except for calligraphy and painting, everything is better than herself." He looked at the strange lines on the map, a while thick and a sometimes thin, here and there, and the landscape he painted in the day, the brush is completely different, after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't say a meridian, so he had to say: "Vice General Xue said, there is a terrain that is a little circuitous, although it is a gentle slope but very long, if there are only four or five hundred people, the slope in front has not yet gone up, the people behind have already entered the bottom of the slope, if the enemy is from the top of the slope before and after, it will be more dangerous." ”

Although the map has ups and downs, the twists and turns are indeed a plan, how can you tell the difference between high and low, the sixth master couldn't help sighing, and at this time, another sergeant came to report: "Someone outside brought a piece of jade pendant, saying that there is a military situation to see Xia Yanshou." ”

The sixth master and the eighth master were all stunned, and the sixth master secretly thought: "It's been a long time since anyone has called themselves by name and surname like this, is it that group of villains?" Brought Jiu'er's token? He was busy suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and asked the sergeant to bring people in.

After a while, as the two sergeants entered, a man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a face of Chinese characters common to northerners, with a black and red face, wearing a coarse cloth coat of the peasants of the day, with a slightly open placket, revealing the muscles on his chest, and falling down with his breathing. He had a hemp rope tied around his waist, and his gray trousers were pulled up to his knees, revealing black leg hair and a lot of mud on them. Look, it's an authentic farmer.

The man knelt on the ground and saluted: "The little one's surname is Luo, Xing'er is twelve, and he is the guard next to Miss Xia, and this is a token." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of jade pendant.

The sixth master and the eighth master took it, and the two of them looked at it together for a long time, and the eighth master said: "This jade pendant is worn by Jiu'er when he goes to Zhang's mansion, Jiu'er said that those people are either rich or expensive, and we have nothing to do, Xue, the stone that Brother Xue gave earlier is smooth and good-looking, so bring it to support the faΓ§ade." ”

Vice General Zhou stood aside and glanced at what they said: "Smooth and beautiful stone." But it was an extremely moist jadeite, and he smiled in his heart: "Although this stone is not priceless, it is also very expensive, so that you can say it, it is like picking a random piece in the field - it is quite pleasing to the eye when it is polished." ”

"But! Jiu'er had no guards by her side. Who the hell are you to dare to pretend? The eighth master squinted his peach blossom eyes, thinking about whether to take advantage of his brother's unpreparedness and rush up to beat him, first relieve his anger and then talk about the side.

Luo Twelve said unhurriedly: "The eldest lady's guard earlier was Yang Baochen. ”

Vice General Zhou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Who is the eldest lady?" What did Yang Baochen do with his guards? ”

Luo Twelve said respectfully: "The eldest lady is Miss Xia. ”

The eighth master thought in his heart: "Could it be the private soldiers under my sister, they have always called Jiu'er like this, this is not impossible." ”

The sixth master frowned and was silent, glanced at the eighth master, and saw that he seemed to have an understanding, so he turned to ask, "Who is Yang Baochen?" ”

Luo Twelve smiled: "Yang Baochen is the apprentice of the Ninth Master. ”

"Huh!?" The eighth master and the sixth master couldn't help but look at the screaming Vice General Zhou. Vice General Zhou hurriedly covered up: "Who is the Ninth Master?" Looking at the sixth and eighth masters, he suddenly said, "Is it your younger brother?" ”

Luo Twelve shook his head: "The ninth master is Yang Baochen's master, just like the eldest lady is my master." Yang Baochen was sent to the camp by the ninth master, and the younger one replaced him as the eldest lady's guard. ”

Vice General Zhou stayed for a long time, although he was taught since he was a child: joy and anger are invisible, and he also wants to scold people a little at this time.

Naro XII continued: "The two villains carried the sedan chair of the eldest lady, and the younger one followed. The eldest lady is so funny, she won't let me save her. I couldn't either, so I had to follow all the way to Jixi, and just now she gave me a small piece of cloth when she was eating and asked me to send it to the camp. I didn't want to come over, but the eldest lady seems to have met a friend, I saw that he was a military master, and his skills were not bad, and he listened to the eldest lady very much. That's when I was relieved. ”

The eighth master thought secretly: "Brother Xue still talked to my sister?" I don't know what my sister asked him to do? ”

On the side, the sixth master asked, "What does that person look like?" What did Jiu'er ask him to do? ”

Luo Twelve grinned, pointed at the eighth master and said, "They came together." The eldest lady wanted firecrackers, so the man got off the horse and bought two large bags. After a while, I'll go back and buy two packs too. As he spoke, he took out a piece of white cloth from his arms: "The eldest lady asked the little one to hand this over to Vice General Xia." ”

The eighth master hurriedly walked over and took the piece of cloth to the sixth brother, and Vice General Zhou also leaned over to take a look, only to see that the cloth was dotted with ghosts and drew many things with charcoal strips. Some of them can still be understood, and some of them are children's graffiti. It will be like a happy face in the upper right corner, and the one on the left will pout.

The sixth master pointed to the picture and asked, "Where is this place?" ”

Luo Twelve had obviously also seen this picture, and probably didn't bother to guess these things, so he said: "These two mountains, presumably Shuangfeng Town, this section of the mountain road is undulating, and I walked through it when I came." ”

The sixth master turned around and looked at the eighth master, the eighth master's face was hot, and he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to look at the picture. Luo Twelve continued: "The military master is only afraid that he will have to leave for two hours with these people. I don't know what these big ants or grasshoppers mean by the big ants bowing on the hillsides on both sides. I know that there seem to be more arrows in front and fewer in the back. And the six crows in between, I don't know what they mean. ”

The eighth master finally met someone he knew, and hurriedly said, "This is the sixth brother." This is not a crow but a pigeon, drawing six, the pigeon and the brother have the same sound, which is the meaning of my sixth brother. ”

After that, he looked at the sixth master with a bit of flattery, and saw that the sixth master glared at him fiercely, and he didn't quite understand. When he saw Luo Twelve, who was stunned on the side, and Vice General Zhou, who was looking at the sixth master and laughing, he couldn't help but slander in his heart: "It's just that the pigeon is a little ugly, and some like crows don't need to be so angry." ”

After Luo Twelve finished speaking, he saluted and retired: "I have to go back quickly, if I can rescue the eldest lady in front of the master, the master will have less worries." When the time comes, with firecrackers as a trumpet, you will know that they are lying in ambush there. ”R1152
