In addition to gambling on chess, Xiao Yu and Yun Tong also made a bet: the two bet on whether the black-clothed man in the village would risk going out of the village for help tonight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Yu gambled. Because he completely believed in Jiang Li's judgment, he believed that the man in black was Ding Zhiqiu.

If the man in black is Ding Zhiqiu, his identity is definitely not ordinary. After he listened to Qiu Da's words, he would definitely send a message back to Dayan to ask people to cover up his identity for him. And during this time, there are fewer and fewer people on duty in the reeds, and there can be no less, he wants to let people out of the village, this is the opportunity, besides, he can't wait for time.

And Yun Tong still has hesitation about Ding Zhiqiu's identity. In Yuntong's opinion, if Ding Zhiqiu was just an ordinary herdsman, no one would drill the net that Xiao Yu asked Li Mu to open today. - Yun Tong hesitated.

It was slowly getting dark, and the boat was hidden in a pool of reeds as far as the eye could see.

The evening breeze is light, and the reeds are covered with thin water lines like silk boats. The feather-like beautiful reeds flutter in the wind, the fish enter the water, the tired birds return to their nests, even the last ray of light disappears into the horizon, the reeds are quiet, and even a trace of wind looks luxurious.

A waning moon hung in the night sky, and the reeds were pitch black.

Xiao Yu and Yuntong Li Mu sat quietly in the cabin, and no one moved to light the lamp in the dark night. In the quiet night, a few gray men began to sink up, and someone walked around the boat, and the boat shook slightly for a while.

Xiao Yu opened his mouth in the night: "The water in front is turbulent and treacherous, if they don't leave at this time, it will be darker in the second half of the night." They were afraid that people would find out and would not dare to light the lamps, and they would not even be able to see the black reef clearly. If they're going out to tell the news, it's time to come. ”

As soon as Xiao Yu said this, several gray-clothed men guarding the ship's strings immediately quieted down, and they didn't make the slightest noise except for breathing.

After another half an hour, I suddenly heard a few shouts on the beach: "Who! A few muffled grunts followed.

Xiao Yu smiled at Yun Tong in a low voice: "Don't come!" ”

It was pitch black in the cabin, and I couldn't see Yuntong's expression clearly.

After a long time, the sound of boats entering the water and paddling was heard, and after a while, the shadow of an upon-boat appeared in the reeds.

Li Mu gave a low order, and the two gray-clothed men on the boat paddled silently and followed the sound of paddling.

Leaning on the reeds on the side of Qingfeng Village, the reed poles grew densely and numerously, and Li Mu commanded the man in gray to follow the Wupeng boat in front of him far away under the cover of the reeds.

After walking hundreds of feet of waterway, the reeds began to thin out and the current began to become turbulent.

Through the sparse reeds, you can vaguely see that there are no reeds in front of you, revealing a white river.

The surface of the river is long and long, and the waves roll white flowers, hitting the reef that is exposed to the water, stirring up a splash of several feet high.

The waves in front are endless, the strong wind in the back is closely chasing, the river surface is full of dangers, and the dark reefs in the water can be seen from time to time in the gap between the waves receding.

The river is dangerous, and after this water, it is the border of Liaocheng County in Dayan.

According to the news from the spies planted in Dayan, Liaocheng County has recently added a new defense of the water surface adjacent to Qingfeng Village, adding more than a dozen new battalions of water and land guards of more than 100 people, and adding 30 military food reserve stations for teams of five people. After crossing this treacherous river, on the other side is the Dayan border guard camp.

The river is dangerous, the big boat can never pass, even if the Wupeng boat in the Qingfeng village can pass, it has to be very good in the water, and it is very possible to make the boat a try.

The Upong boat in front of it did not stop, and went straight to the turbulent river.

Yun Tong looked at it and sighed: "In the past, we thought that although the Dayan people were good at riding and archery, they were braver than our people in the south, but the water nature and the kung fu of the boat would not be much better, so we have been ignoring the defense of this piece of reeds. Now it seems that we have been taking it lightly all these years. ”

Xiao Yu walked out of the cabin, standing on the string of the boat with his back hand, and his white clothes were particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

As soon as Li Mu saw Xiao Yu walking out of the cabin, he immediately realized, "Stop the boat in front!" Li Mu ordered in a deep voice.

Several gray-clothed men were ordered, and they all responded with a "Yes!" With both arms forced, he paddled the oars quickly, and the reeds on both sides retreated rapidly, and the white river was close in front of him.

Under the last quarter of the moon, the silver rays of light cast on the surface of the river, and the figures of a tall and a short figure on the Wupeng boat were faintly visible.

After half a moment, the distance between him and the Upeng boat in front of him was closer, and he could clearly see the two gray-clothed men who were paddling the boat. Two gray-clothed men, a short one with a knife-cut face, and a thin figure; The tall one has a round face, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and both of them have high temples and bright eyes.

Suddenly, I saw a boat coming, the distance was still so close, the knife face and the Fu Yuan face both had ghost-like expressions in the middle of the night, and the paddle in their hands was slightly paused.

At this moment, Li Mu commanded his subordinates to turn the boat around and block it in front of the boat that was about to cross the river.

forced the boat to stop, and without Li Mu's orders, several gray-clothed people on the boat on this side immediately jumped over the boat.

In the dark night, the soldiers and ninjas are close to each other, the black shadows are frequent, there are only two people on the other side, and there are two more people led by Li Mu, and they are all very good at picking. Rao is like this, and he has been holding on to each other for a long time. Li Mu couldn't help but pull out the long sword in his waist and jump over the boat to help.

As soon as Li Mu made a move, the sword in the knife was fast and ruthless, crackling, and several gray-clothed people joined hands to weave a sword net, covering the two of them head-on.

Li Mu picked up the waist knife in the hands of the two people with a sword, and a few swords under his hand immediately put on the shoulders of the two people, and then the knife cut the face and Fu Yuan's face to subdue the two.

"In the middle of the night, where are you two going?" Li Mu coldly stared at the sword, and the two gray-clothed men who were tall and short asked.

The knife-cut face and Fu Yuan's face snorted coldly at the same time, and his neck was stalked.

"I don't know if I don't say it, the opposite side is the big camp of the Dayan border guards. The two of them ventured across the river, there must be something important to report. Yun Tong stood beside Xiao Yu and said slowly.

The two boats were close together, and the two gray-clothed men searched up and down on the knife face and Fu Yuan's face, and finally found a letter on Fu Yuan's face and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu took it and handed it to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu and Yuntong returned to the cabin, and the lights in the cabin were lit.

Under the light, Xiao Yu opened the letter, and while reading, he snorted coldly, his jade-colored face was covered with frost, and his expression was grim.

Yun Tong leaned over to look at it and exclaimed, "This letter is actually in the eagle character script!" ”

Rao Yuntong had a reputation for being talented and erudite when he was young, and he couldn't fully recognize these words.

However, Xiao Yu had dabbled in the culture of the Dayan royal family in the Nanchen Palace when he was a child, and at this time he explained to Yun Tong: "This letter was written to the Liaocheng County Guard General Balinbu, asking him to lead the troops to stand by in the past few days, and when the fire in the village starts, he will attack from both land and water, and then the inside and outside should be combined." ”

Xiao Yu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his voice was cold, "Fortunately, we intercepted this letter today." Otherwise, Qingfeng Village will be caught off guard, and there is a danger of destroying the village! ”

said and carefully considered the words of the letter: "Lead the troops and stand by - the status of the person who wrote the letter is obviously not low, and then look at the whole eagle character text, I can't say that Ding Zhiqiu is really from the royal family." ”

"Wouldn't you too?" Yun Tong raised his eyebrows and objected, "Besides, there is no payment on this letter, and it may not be from Ding Zhiqiu's handwriting." ”

Xiao Yu picked up the letter paper and sniffed it carefully, and looked at Yuntong lightly: "I will be because I studied in the royal specialty, looking at Nan Chen, how many people will?" Not to mention Nan Chen, few ordinary people in Dayan know Yingwen, don't you even know completely. Qiu Da went to ask him before, and then someone sent a letter to Dayan, who else could it be if it wasn't Ding Zhiqiu! ”

Yun Tong thought about it carefully and couldn't find a reason to object.

I saw Xiao Yu finish sniffing, took out several kinds of paper under the lamp, and finally picked out one to spread out, opened the inkstone again, and wrote on the paper concentratingly.

Yun Tong was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth - he saw that what Xiao Yu wrote throughout was actually an eagle character, and what was even more strange was that the handwriting he wrote was almost the same as the handwriting on the letter that was searched from Fu Yuan's face. Judging from Yuntong's eyesight, he definitely can't tell the difference.

"I specially asked Qiu Da to pay attention to several kinds of paper and ink in Ding Zhiqiu's room, and specially brought several kinds of paper and ink." Xiao Yu picked up the written letter and dried it under the lamp, and said in a faint tone, "The same rice paper, the same Hui ink, the time is too short, it seems to be only seven or eight points alike, and it should barely be able to mix up." ”

Yun Tong admired Xiao Yu very much at this time, and said happily: "Are you going to steal the beams and change the pillars, and still send this letter to the camp of the Dayan guards?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded. Pack the letter as it was and walk out of the cabin.
