Chapter Two Hundred and Eight: Fresh Breeze and Autumn Breeze
On a towering hill in Qingfeng Village, two tall and burly figures stood in the wind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two men, stretching their shadows very long. The two turned around, one was a meaty-faced Ke Naqi, and the other was Ding Zhiqiu with a cold face. Looking halfway up the mountainside, tens of thousands of teams from Qingfeng Village were gathering there, and Xiao Yu and Li Mu were standing at the front of the team, talking to the dense crowd.
Ding Zhiqiu was dressed in a cotton and linen robe, his long hair was thick and fluffy on his shoulders, the green mustache on his chin was erected, and his eyes stared fiercely at the situation halfway up the mountainside under the bridge of his high nose.
But Naqi also looked halfway up the mountain, where tens of thousands of teams from Qingfeng Village were gathered, and Xiao Yu and Li Mu were standing at the front of the team, as if they were talking to the dense crowd.
The top of the mountain was too far away from the halfway up the mountain, and the two of them couldn't hear what Xiao Yu and Li Mu said, but the neat and orderly procession of tens of thousands of people lined up in the middle of the mountain, and the high morale of the tens of thousands of teams, couldn't help but shock the two.
But Naqi reported to Ding Zhiqiu the news he had just inquired about from the city: "Xiao Yu went down the mountain the day before yesterday, aren't you curious where he went?" ”
Ding Zhiqiu glanced at Naqi coldly, but Naqi hurriedly said honestly: "He is looking for the woman we met on the dock that day." The woman came from the capital, her name was Jiang Li, and she was the same person you mentioned. Her father is the former Qingzhou general judge Jiang Zongjin. Xiao Yu went down the mountain that day to mess with her, according to our people, the two stayed alone in a room for most of the afternoon, and finally the woman sent Xiao Yu out, and the two were inseparable. ”
"Sure enough, the relationship is not ordinary." Ding Zhiqiu's eyes were filled with coldness, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I used to see that Miss Qiushuang didn't react to Xiao Yutou's embrace of him, and I once doubted whether he was a normal man. As long as he is a normal person and can also be emotional, then we will be fine. ”
But Naqi said: "The strange thing is that the day after Xiao Yu came back, the owner of the village also went down the mountain to the Jiang family. The sisters and brothers of the Jiang family are called the master of the village, and listening to the meaning of their words, they should have known each other in the capital, and Jiang Li's brocade weaving skills were learned from the master of the village. ”
Ding Zhiqiu suddenly realized: "No wonder the owner of the village disappeared for so long inexplicably during that time, it turned out that he went to the capital!" ”
A lot of information was gathered, and Ding Zhiqiu couldn't help but whisper: "This owner of the village has always lived in a simple place, and he has always ignored the affairs of the village, and we don't know anything about his origins. I used to suspect that the brocade map was in Xiao Yu's hands, but after checking it for so many years, I found nothing. This owner of the village likes brocade weaving, and accepts people as apprentices, assuming that he is also from Nanchen, then, will he be the heir of the brocade wizard in the legendary Nanchen Palace?! If so, will that picture be in his hands? ”
Ding Zhiqiu was extremely thoughtful, and he was not at ease when he said this: "Where did the news come from?" Is the information reliable? ”
"The Jiang family has newly accepted a few little girls, all of whom are natives of Qingzhou. We controlled a girl's family, we let the girl go east and she didn't dare to go west, this news came from her, absolutely can't be wrong. But Naqi said gloomily.
Seeing Ding Zhiqiu raise his eyebrows, he pursed his thin lips and smiled, but Na Qi said again: "That girl also reported another major news!" She said that the woman named Jiang Li also donated 100,000 taels of silver to Zhou Yan, the governor of Qingzhou, to repair the Qingzhou city fortifications. It is said that the silver has been sent for a few days, and the people in our city have also sent a message back saying that Zhou Yan has started construction with people in the past few days. ”
"What!" Ding Zhiqiu was taken aback, and immediately sensed that something was wrong-"What do you say Xiao Yu has in mind, he is busy training troops these days, isn't he going to take Qingzhou?" This is what Ding Zhiqiu is most worried about.
But Na Qi's brain couldn't turn around, and he asked with a wink on his face: "Why do you think so, what does that woman's donation have to do with Xiao Yu?" Didn't Xiao Yu always say that he wanted to gain a foothold in Qingzhou before? ”
Ding Zhiqiu scolded angrily: "Stupid! I was so anxious that I turned around in a circle, and after a few turns, I slowly figured out a little bit of clue.
He analyzed them one by one and listened to them to Ke Naqi: "Since Xiao Yu has a great relationship with the woman named Jiang Li, it is impossible for him not to know about Jiang Li's donation of money to Zhou Yan to repair the city defense." Knowing and not stopping, what do you think he can think? Anyway, Xiao Yu would never think about attacking the city while agreeing to the people around him to send money to the enemy to increase the enemy's defense. ”
But Na Zine said, "Maybe it's because you're too careful." Maybe the donation was the woman's own idea? ”
"If Jiang Li has the mind to donate money to repair the city defense, then her thoughts and behaviors will also affect Xiao Yu to some extent. In my opinion, Xiao Yu is probably also aware. Ding Zhiqiu said with certainty.
After finishing speaking, he expressed his worries: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, he is going to deal with Dayan." ”
But Naqi was stunned, thought about it, and turned his head to look at the dense team that was busy training halfway up the mountain, and said in surprise: "Won't it?" There are less than 100,000 people in Qingfeng Village, excluding the 20,000 horses under you and me, even if the team under Li Mu belongs to Xiao Yu, plus the people under Xiao Yuyuntong Chu Feng Chen Yu, they are only 70,000 or 80,000 people, with these 70,000 or 80,000 people, they want to deal with our Dayan? If Xiao Yu does this, wouldn't he be beyond his strength! ”
The whirring mountain wind blew Ding Zhiqiu's messy hair, and his face with a green mustache and hard and cold facial lines looked anxious.
He said slowly: "If he wants to put it on hold in normal times, he wouldn't dare to make a move against Dayan, but now that Dayan has just started a war with Dayan, if he takes advantage of this time to fish in troubled waters and sneak attack my Dayan, who knows if Nan Chen will follow and participate?" ”
But Naqi never thought of this layer, and now he heard it like waking up from a dream, and he couldn't help but admire his master.
Ding Zhiqiu continued: "Even if Nan Chen doesn't follow suit, although there are not many seventy or eighty thousand horses, as soon as we start, we must divide our troops to rescue." If the north and the south start a war at the same time, and the battle line is too long, it will affect our offensive in the south, and at worst, it will affect the entire battle situation. ”
But Naqi realized the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help but say with a solemn expression: "What should we do now, just need the master's command, and I will never give up." ”
"Don't talk to me about dying or not!" Ding Zhiqiu's face looked a little gloomy in the afterglow, and he couldn't help but snort coldly after listening to Ke Naqi's words.
He breathed a sigh of relief before saying: "The Splendid Rivers and Mountains haven't been found yet, and we can't give up halfway and return to Dayan." Now that you and I only have 20,000 men on our hands, what good will it do us to fight to the death? If you start from Qingzhou City, create some trouble for Xiao Yu, and muddy the water, then you will have to choose to attack Qingzhou. ”
But Naqi said happily: "Listening to what you say, master, do you have an idea?" ”
Ding Zhiqiu stood with his hands in his hands overlooking the stretching cottage, and smiled incomprehensibly, "I have a rough idea, let's go to Qingzhou City to see the situation." ”
