Chapter 254: Stalemate

Xue Yu returned to his tent and called Dong'an in angrily: "Madame is trapped in Diaojian Mountain, you bring two people over to have a look." ”

Dong'an looked at Xue Yu, blinked, didn't come back to his senses for a while, and asked in amazement, "Madam...... Who is trapped in Diaojian Mountain?"

Xue Yuchang took a breath, sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and shook his head: "I don't know yet!" Xu is a local bandit, Jiu'er said that there is a bandit leader there who is her brother, alas, she must be careless." ”

Dong'an pursed his lips and swallowed: "Madam, where is she hiding?"

Xue Yu's tiger eyes instantly widened, he stood up and roared, "How do I know? You won't look for it yourself!" Xue Yu regretted a little at this time: "If you had listened to Jiu'er's words at that time and left her guards by your side, you wouldn't be helpless at this time! ”

Seeing that his face was ugly, Dong'an dared to ask more, so he hurriedly took two of them everywhere and went to the northwest. Along the way, it took more than ten days to arrive at a small town at the foot of Tiaojian Mountain. Rao is Dong'an has experienced a hundred battles, and at this time, looking at the reckless green mountains not far away, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart for a while: "Mrs. Shizi, you can really do it, the prince of the world just left on the front foot, and you took his younger brother and nephew on the back foot to make such a thing." ”

Thinking like this, the errand still has to be done, Dong'an saw that the mountain was densely wooded, and he didn't dare to go up the mountain rashly, so he first went to the nearby teahouse and wine shop to inquire. As soon as the little er who ran the hall heard Jian Shan, his eyes suddenly brightened, and his voice was as if he had been mixed with honey: "Master Ke." Have you heard something? What? You're going up this mountain too?"

When Dong'an heard that there was a door, he hurriedly said: "I want to go in, my master is a collector of mountain goods." I thought, this mountain man ......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Er looked at it: "Look at you, you person, this is too insincere." Everyone understands people. It's so boring for you to hide it like this. ”

Dong'an had to stop his mouth and said with a wry smile: "My little master happened to pass by here a few days ago, and my family heard that it was not peaceful here. So he told me to come and see if something was going on. ”

The little second waved his hand and looked at Dong'an diligently: "No, there was chaos on this mountain a few days ago." We are all timid and afraid. Where do you dare to come forward. ”

Dong'an saw that he kept looking at his waist. He took out a small ingot of silver, and said with a smile: "That's a pity." I don't know if any of you have the courage to come over and see it, and you can ask him to come and tell me about it. ”

When Xiao Er saw the silver, he was so happy that he only rubbed his hands, and thought secretly: "What that sissy Jiu Ye said is really right, someone really came here to inquire." He looked back and saw another guest coming in at the door. Then he said: "Master Ke, you wait a minute. I'm done with my work, so I'll come and tell you more. ”

Dong'an's entourage Ma Song heard a mistake and wanted to be hard. Dong An hurriedly pressed his hand, shook his head and said to Xiao Er: "I'm just listening to the excitement, our son has brought a lot of entourage, and he didn't happen to pass by here." It's just that it's better for me to know more than less when I go back to the errand, and if you have something to do, just go and get busy first. ”

After noon, the number of guests gradually decreased, and Xiao Er came over, afraid of being discovered by the shopkeeper, so he carefully put half of his ass on the chair: "More than half a month ago, three people dressed as sons and brothers came, and they brought three or four entourages, and the leader spoke softly and softly, which was very ......."

Dong An's heart moved, and he smiled: "We say that people like that in the capital are a bit girly. ”

The little second laughed tacitly when he heard this, but he refused to speak, and continued: "A few people have tasted all the signature dishes in the store. After they were gone for a few days, there was a fight on this mountain, and we didn't know it at first, but you can see it, this mountain is quite long. Later, at night, the mountains were ablaze. There are those who have the courage to go down the mountain, and I heard that the killing sound inside is shocking, and it seems that the fight is very fierce. ”

As he spoke, he glanced around sneakily and whispered, "I heard the sound of marching troops at night, and many people came from nearby. You are not a local, you don't know, although the saints are good at governing and martial arts, alas, this country is also big, and there is a small place where we are in charge of it. There are a lot of bandits in the mountains around here... Specializing in that kind of murderous business..."

Dong'an's heart shrank into a ball when he heard this, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, pretended not to care much and glanced at the mountain, and said with a smile: "It's not like it, it looks quite quiet." ”

The little two laughed: "How can you fight endlessly, I have been fighting for half a month, and I heard that the fight has already ended." After thinking about it, he said: "It should be all over, right?" The day before yesterday, the Tongzhi in the city took more than 100 people up the mountain and pulled a few wagons of weapons and food. The old people all said that the body must have been buried on the mountain, or it was probably burned. ”

Dong'an swallowed his saliva, squinted his eyes and said, "Is it the same acquaintance of the Shuntai Mansion next to him?"

The little two nodded hurriedly.

So Dong An took out the money and pushed it to him.

Jiang Xiaoer smiled with joy, and said while rubbing the silver: "I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." ”

Dong'an rolled his eyes, and deliberately smiled vaguely: "You still don't believe what Childe said?"

The little second scratched his head: "It's true, don't look at that son, it's a ......"

Dong'an saw him pause, so he laughed: "What, what you just told me was all given to you by that son?"

Xiao Er hurriedly shook his head and said, "There was no war when Gongzi came, and he didn't tell me what to say." Let's just say that someone inquired about Diaojian Mountain and asked me to collect some color. It's all over, and I thought no one was asking. ”

When Dong'an heard this, he took out a small golden bean again: "You can learn everything that the boy said, give me all the words he said." ”

As soon as Xiao Er saw the golden bean, his eyes immediately straightened: "That boy confessed, if someone comes to inquire, he will say that he has gone to the mountain in the west." As he spoke, he frowned and tried to recall: "The strange thing is that there was a fight on the Dongling side that night. ”

When Dong'an heard it, he knew that he did confess a few words to him, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Er saw Dong'an playing with the golden bean, but didn't speak, and hurriedly continued: "Listen to the leading son, the bandit leaders in the surrounding mountains are his brothers. As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and said softly: "Hmph, the people on several mountains here belong to my brother, do you know what it means to be a brother? ”

As soon as Dong'an saw the expression on his face that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, he knew that the "leading son" he learned was the wife of the prince nine times out of ten.

When he thought about it like this, Xiao Er thought that he was talking too little, so he lowered his head and thought about it again: "A few of them also lowered their heads and whispered to discuss, listening to that meaning to put this side here..." King... What a dueling!"

Dong'an's heart sank, and he thought secretly: "Madam, you can really pull it, if you are a male, what will become of our world." Knocking on the table and thinking about it for a long time, I didn't figure out which prince it was: "King Pingnan fought in Yuanyue, King An was a friend of his wife, and King Xing was a fellow countryman with her... Who else ......" In the flash of light, the long-lost King Shou crossed Dong'an's mind.

Dong'an hurriedly gave the golden bean to the little er, and took his entourage to Shuntai, planning to explore the reality here before making a plan-

Yuan Yue's war has become more and more unsmooth these days, and in the sage's camp, Zhou Wei asked in a low voice: "The war has been stalemate for the past two days, how is the supply behind." ”

Xue Yu hurriedly said: "Shengshang and General Zhou, rest assured, 10,000 people just arrived here yesterday and brought a lot of grain, grass and arrows. This supply is enough, just... I'm afraid that some more will be recruited, and there are many soldiers in the camp who are not accustomed to the water and soil. ”

Shengshang squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back, nodded and said, "It's okay, you can do this thing." After that, he rubbed his forehead and asked tiredly: "This Dajie Gang, there are only a few thousand people in the stockade, why can't you attack it?"

Ji Shaoyang's left arm had just been injured, and he hung it on his chest at this time, arched his right hand and said: "There are a lot of traps dug around the stockade, and there are some archers hiding in the trees. ”

The sage rubbed his forehead: "General Zhou, General Xue, you trained those soldiers a few days ago, why don't you go up." ”

Xue Yu hurriedly stood up and said, "After fighting Eagle Dock last time, I folded a small half. The rest of the people were not adapted, and most of them were sick. It's a new training, but it's not very useful. ”

When Zhou Yun heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "When is this, General Xue, do you still want to preserve your strength?!"

Zhou Wei hurriedly said: "This time, General Xue asked a lot of Lang Zhong to come over, the weather is getting warmer, and the miasma is getting heavier and heavier." ”

The saint looked back at Zhou Yun and said, "How did you fight in previous years?"

Zhou Yun was a little surprised, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare to go in the summer, I can only fight now, if I can't attack it this month, I can only wait for autumn." ”

The sage nodded: "General Xue stays, and a few of you go back to pick some archers who can climb trees and are good at mountain warfare, and step up training." Zhou Yun, Zhou Wei and others hurriedly said yes and retreated.

Xue Yu saw that everyone was gone, so he said in a low voice: "Sage, I don't want to preserve my strength. ”

The saint sighed and shook his head, "I can save it." ”

Xue Yu then said: "Langzhong's affairs, my subordinates will do it, I plan to find some reliable people nearby, the climate here is very different from our Central Plains and the capital, and the Langzhong we brought is not a big deal." ”

Xue Yu saw that the saint was noncommittal, and hurriedly persuaded: "Seeing that the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the place where the Central Plains and the Northern Cold meet is not at peace, the sage, it is important for you to go back to the capital first to preside over the overall situation." ”

Sheng Shang coughed twice in a low voice, shook his head, and said, "I'm out of the way." (To be continued......)
