Chapter 21 Investigative Missions

Knowing that Yan Xu did not quit drinking and meat, the county order specially asked people to buy the famous local cold fish to make food, and took out a jar of thirty-year-old wine to entertain the guests, but the strange thing is that the county order did not invite others to the banquet together.

There is a cold pool in Hantan County, that is, the water of the pool in midsummer is also cold and biting, let your hot-blooded man fall into the water for a while or three to lose half of his life, even if he is saved, he will fall into the root of the disease. But there is a kind of white fish the size of a palm in this cold pool, which is as bright as jade, which is delicious and delicious, and can prolong life when eaten all year round, but it is very difficult to catch, so it is expensive.

"It's delicious." Although Yan Xu likes food, he never eats much, and after eating some, he put down his chopsticks and looked at the enthusiastic county order.

"If the county magistrate has something to order, he will say bluntly, if the poor monk can do it, he will never refuse."

Sure enough, the county magistrate put down the wine glass when he heard this, and said: "Originally, the boundary of Liangshan was close to Shuibo, and the locals were either farming or fishing, and their lives were not bad. ”

"Hmph, these thieves are making trouble under the banner of doing things for heaven, causing hundreds of people to be displaced, and forcing good people to fall into the grass, which is a heinous crime and should be killed!" Yan Xu killed hundreds of people during the day and still has a murderous aura, and the temperature of the hall suddenly dropped a few points, and even the county commander shivered with the maid next to him, and secretly said that this monk is so murderous.

"The army of the imperial court is still in the future, and I want to ask the master to go to the place occupied by the Liangshan thieves to find out the situation, so that I can do something to deal with it."

"Little thing, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Yan Xu nodded in agreement without hesitation, but looked up at the county order and said.

"Although the poor monk has brute strength, he is not good at these, I hope that the county order will issue a notice to gather a group of capable people from the people to assist me, and at the same time issue a task against Liangshan to disturb the other party's sight."

"The master is thoughtful, I'll call the master, and the master please use it slowly."

The county order is also out of the way, and he doesn't even say anything about the official, so he stands up and arches his hand and goes to find the master. However, his low profile is really effective, although Yan Xu doesn't like the heroes of Liangshan, but he doesn't have a good impression of the corrupt officials in the imperial court, and if the county order is too arrogant, he will not pay attention to him.

Since he promised Yan Xu not to break his promise, he left before dawn, which made the county commander who came in a hurry sigh. The military generals who received the imperial court were no better than a monk, so he suddenly changed his mind, returned to the study, burned the letter written in advance, and rewrote a new one.

After waiting for five days for the reinforcements of the imperial court to arrive, the county commander only asked one of them to meet him. This is a small official who is not in the stream, and he actually asked him to greet the five-grade lieutenant of the imperial court, which shows that the county order does not intend to save face at all.

It's no wonder that Nima is a reinforcement or a corpse collection team, if Liangshan beats the county seat, five days is enough time for them to plunder everything, and none of the people who should be killed will survive, and it would be strange if the county order could give the other party a good face.

Obviously, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet reached the last period when there are soldiers and grass kings, and a five-grade shooting captain has not been taken into account by the county order at all, even if he is only a seven-rank school, the reader is so capricious.

The bearded military general didn't look angry at all, even in the face of a small official with no rank, he was full of smiles and apologized, claiming that he received the report too late and delayed time or something.

In fact, there is no shortage of people near the county seat, many landlords and squires live outside the city, and those mud-legged people may not know what Liangshan represents, but these fat sheep know what will happen to them when Liangshan arrives, and they will send people to report the news as soon as possible. Hantan County is not far from Ningbo Prefecture, and it is only half a day's journey on horseback, and the infantry can arrive in two days at most, and if you speed up, you can arrive in a day. But in fact, it took five days for the reinforcements from the imperial court to arrive, you dare to say that you are not tired, it is a matter of your life, no wonder the county order does not give a trace of affection.

The 5,000 forbidden troops were not even allowed to enter the city gate, and all of them were sent to the camp left in Liangshan that had not yet been demolished, although the camp of 5,000 people was a bit crowded into the camp of 3,000 people, but it was good to have a place to live, and it would be good to expand it by yourself.

This camp also held hundreds of prisoners, and the news of the defeat naturally couldn't be hidden, and Yan Xu's feat of riding a thousand horses became more and more outrageous, and they were all rumored to be Guan Gong's descent to earth. But at this time, people still believe this, not to mention that the imperial court has always suffered defeats, and even the generals don't know how many thieves they have surrendered, and finally a victory has naturally been repeatedly mentioned, and unconsciously, Yan Xu's reputation is quietly rising.

Not to mention the changes in Hantan County, Yan Xu took three trialists into Liangshan's sphere of influence, and gradually deepened, and the information he found was not optimistic.

With the expansion of Liangshan's power, more and more trialists choose to join the Liangshan camp, and the front line is the place where the most benefits are obtained, and a large number of missions are distributed here, so a large number of trialists are gathered. They haunt the wilderness every day, in addition to chasing and killing the defeated guerrillas of the imperial court, they are also responsible for the task of reconnoitring the imperial court camp, it can be said that both sides are now in a special period of mutual infiltration, which has added a lot of trouble to Yan Xu and them.

However, now the imperial court has to suffer a little, after all, today's trialists can only be an assistant, and the main output plus tanks is still the imperial court, but unfortunately the imperial court army is not strong, so that the trialists in the imperial court camp are injured and sad, and the situation is very passive, at most, they can only move in the middle of the two counties, and it is difficult to go deeper, so Yan Xu They have no reinforcements to rely on at all.

Yan Xu has no problem whether he fights alone or in a group, but when it comes to investigation and the like, he specially asked the master of the county order to issue a task in the name of the yamen, and sure enough, he attracted a large number of trialists.

Yan Xu carefully selected three people as teammates, and the rest of them didn't let them be idle, they all issued the same task, going to the border to intercept the people in the Liangshan camp, which could be regarded as a cover for Yan Xu and them, and some help. This move was indeed effective, and many trialists in the Liangshan camp focused their attention on them, making Yan Xu's infiltration a lot easier.

The trialists are divided into four professions: generals, strategists, heroes, and warlocks, among which heroes are the most, after all, the threshold is the lowest, and the first contact is the rivers and lakes, accounting for more than six layers of the total number of people. Of course, another advantage is to save money, a weapon is enough, the general's weapons, armor, and horses are not cheap, strategists also have to buy books, and warlocks are even more expensive.

It is also very convenient for the second most popular choice of martial arts professions, and trialists who practice outer martial arts can change jobs by entering the barracks. But at present, the official position is too low, and you can't bring many people, so if you dare to bring more soldiers, you will be directly convicted of treason, and the level of soldiers is generally low, and the trialists also lack war experience.

There are fewer strategists, and they need to have a certain foundation in ancient literature, but it is only a matter of adaptation for modern people who have received a complete modern education. It's just that the strategist lacks self-protection ability, no matter the attack and defense speed, he can't get a bonus, and his skills are mostly auxiliary to the army, and the survivability is too low, and very few trialists are willing to turn into strategists.

Of course, the rarest is the Warlock, and the power is also the strongest, but because you must have a spiritual root to change classes, otherwise even if you come to the Warlock Sect, it will be in vain, so the number is very small, and it is not enough to describe it as one in a hundred.

The three people selected by Yan Xu are all warlocks, and their luck can be said to be very good, and two of them are still acquaintances, that is, Qingniu and Qingyun that Yan Xu met on the cross slope, and Yan Xu could call himself Qingshan at that time. The three of them still have the impression that they can talk unexpectedly when they meet, but what they didn't expect is that the two of them still retain their names.

The last warlock was a very energetic but poor-looking young man, his name was Ye Zhiqiu, his combat power was very low, but his skills were very special, and he was of great help to the task.

"A blind eye." Ye Zhiqiu pinched up a leaf, blocked it in front of him, and used his skills, and suddenly the four of them hidden, it turned out to be a stealth technique, and a group of patrol soldiers who came not far away did not notice anything unusual at all, and walked straight over.

On the border between the two sides, there are not only a large number of trialists, but also groups of soldiers, once they are alarmed, it will be very troublesome, so Yan Xu and they try to avoid them. At this time, it showed the benefits of Ye Zhiqiu, the skill Yi Ye Zhiqiu could allow him to get information from the plant, and the Yi Ye Blind Eye allowed him to be invisible, he was completely a natural spy, Yan Xu and they were able to go so smoothly thanks to him.

"Gone." Qingyun's perception was the highest, and he said after making sure that he would not be discovered.

Ye Zhiqiu took the leaves to remove the skill, this is a major disadvantage of his skill, he must block his eyes when the skill is cast, others can't see him, and he can't see others, so once there is a collision, it will be a tragedy.

The four of them are not ordinary people, they can meet Yan Xu at the cross slope together, and pass the copy almost at the same time, Qingyun and Qingniu are not simple. As for Ye Zhiqiu, being able to enter the Liangshan Quest with only two almost no combat skills is naturally not a simple person. In addition, the cooperation of the four people is not bad, and there are no problems along the way.

There are a total of ten county towns and one prefecture city in the Liangshan territory, and these ten county towns are located between Liangshan Shuibo and Ningbo Prefecture, connecting the two together with the distribution of 221122, so the trialists on both sides began to gradually gather in these two-for-tat county seats, and launched a cruel elimination match between the two places.

Liangshan has a water pool as a barrier, and only the commander of the water army can be impregnable, so many generals are sent to five county towns to sit in the town, and the bad thing is that there are few generals in the imperial court who can resist.

Hearing these news, Yan Xu frowned, the few Yan Xu in front of Tiangang Star are not sure of winning now, once they are blocked, it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape, so they must be more cautious and careful.
