Chapter 67: Preparations
Tang Yinbrown ignored Tang Yinzhong's questioning, just took a deep breath and said coldly: "I have my own reason." ”
After following Tang Yinbrown for so many years, how could Tang Yinzhong not understand the temper of his eldest brother, he replied to himself like this at this time, that is, this question has angered him a little, if you don't want to finally touch his bottom line and make everyone unhappy, it is best to stop this topic.
So Tang Yinzhong pursed his lips, and finally just nodded and didn't ask any more.
"If you want to cross the golden forest from the west and go north to the eastern plains, in addition to that strange forest, I'm afraid there is another problem," Bao'er saw that the two of them were silent for a while, so she re-provoked the topic and added, "This is the Dragon Tail Valley. ”
As he spoke, Bao'er pointed to a valley in the west of the Longji Mountain Range, although it was only marked with three words on the map, but those who were slightly familiar with the topography on this map could not help see the importance of this place to the west, and it should not be lost to the Xinmen Pass in the East Plains.
From the map, this valley occupies a small area, but it faces the sea to the west, the Dragon's Back Mountains to the east, the inaccessible golden forest and its annexes to the north, and the relatively vast western land to the south.
In other words, apart from the treacherous terrain of the Dragon's Back Mountains, this valley is the most critical strategic location to separate the alien territories in the west from the north.
"Longwei Valley......" Tang Yinbrown looked at the place of Bao'er's finger and asked, "Who is guarding there now?" ”
"When I left, there were still fearless people." Bao'er replied, "Although this person is not particularly outstanding in foot skills, he is very good at training his soldiers. He must have been transferred about five years ago, when he brought 3,000 elite soldiers with him, and then I heard that the idea that 'the situation in the golden forest is dangerous, and it is necessary to rely on the young and middle-aged people in each family to lead by example' was widely spread in the vicinity of Longwei Valley, and it is said that it won the hearts of the people, and within three years, the people within a radius of 100 miles, regardless of men, women, and children, began to practice martial arts one after another, and the young people who were conscripted into the army had to step through the threshold of the barracks, and the Western Dynasty and the Central Committee all praised his tactics of combining military and civilian ......."
"You know a lot about this Yan Wuxing." Tang Yinzhong suddenly interjected.
Bao'er was talking attentively, and when she heard Tang Yinzhong say this, she hurriedly stopped, and there was an inexplicable flush on her cheeks.
Although Bao'er is a woman, because she always dresses as a man and has an informal temperament, she has never been unclear about the relationship between her children and daughters, so now she is a little confused, Tang Yinzhong expected that there was something strange in this, and was about to ask again, but was interrupted by Tang Yinbrown's words.
"If it's the one named Yan Fearless who is stationed, then it's easy to do."
Tang Yin's simple words, Bao'er Azhong looked over with joy, and said, "Big brother, do you have a way?" ”
Tang Yinbrown nodded, paused, and said: "This Yan is fearless, his nature is not strict, and he is not connected to the royal family of Xiyou. But he was an orphan who was taken in by the queen of Siyu. Therefore, in the spring of the following year, the frail and sickly queen will be on his birthday, and he will definitely rush back to Xijing, and we only need to adjust the time of arrival in the Longwei Valley to that time, and it will not be a big problem. ”
Both Bao'er and Ah Zhong nodded, agreeing with the proposal.
"Then it's decided," Tang Yinhong took the opportunity to finalize the plan for landing in Xiyou in one fell swoop, and said, "It's not early, you guys go and rest." ”
Just sent away the two people who were still a little confused and at a loss, Tang Yinbrown didn't stop for a moment, and went to the cabin where the captain of the pirate ship was imprisoned, Xing Fu was still in the dark, because he had to stop being tortured, so he had to stand aside at this time, looking like a sculpture.
"Your Excellency." Seeing Tang Yinbrown come in, he turned around and bowed his head and saluted.
"You come out with me, let Xiaopeng guard here for the time being." Tang Yinbrown said, and went out again, without looking at the man under the iron rope.
When Xiaopeng came to the cabin and the two were handed over, Xing Fu came to Tang Yinbrown's room, bowed down and stood aside, and waited for the order.
"You go to Dragonclaw City." Tang Yinbrown went straight to the point.
"Now?" Xing Fu asked, slightly surprised.
Tang Yinbrown nodded, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down", but Xing Fu shook his head, accustomed to standing and listening to orders, Tang Yinbrown no longer insisted, and went with him.
"We're going to abandon the sea route tomorrow, land from the west along the coast, and then head north through the golden forest to the east plain." Tang Yinbrown briefly said the results of the previous discussion between the three of them, and regardless of the surprised look on Xing Fu's face, he continued, "If you want to avoid the conflict with Xiyou as much as possible, and reach the Dragon Tail Valley as quickly as possible, the best route is to pass through Dragon Claw City first. When the time comes, our people will disguise themselves as ordinary people and sneak into the city, and it is said that the guards there will not embarrass us.
"It's just that I'm worried that Zuo Qiyang's people may have already arrived over there, and in that case it will be much more troublesome, and it may not be necessary to give up this plan separately.
"So you go over overnight now, first find out the situation there, if everything is normal, you can rush to the dock to meet us, if there is a real situation, immediately release the signal, I see the signal, I will consider whether to change the route."
Xing Fu listened carefully, wrote them down one by one, and when Tang Yinbrown finished speaking, he turned around and left without a moment's delay.
After sending Xing Fu away, Tang Yinbrown was about to push the door back to the room, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Ah Zi, who was standing alone by the stove in the small kitchen with a fan boiling something, and a smile unconsciously hung on his face.
So many things have happened in the past two days, except for the fact that he glanced at Wang Hu from a distance when Ah Zi was connecting Wang Hu's bones before, although one was on the same boat, he hadn't seen it for a long time, and he didn't have a chance to speak.
At this time, Ah Zi, who was guarding the small stove, was staring at the flickering flames in the stove, and when he looked up, he saw the familiar brown eyes staring at him, although he was a little tired in his eyes, but with a smile, he couldn't help but shout "Ah Brown" with joy.
"Why don't you sleep so late?" Ah Brown asked softly, came to Ah Zi's side in three or two steps, and looked into the clay pot on the stove, "What is this doing?" ”
"I boiled some nourishing clear soup, I want to replenish my body for Brother Wang Hu, it just happens that the weather is cold now, and the wind on the sea is strong, make more, I want to give everyone some to dispel the cold and nourish." Ah Zi explained, looking at Ah Brown, his eyes smiled into two crescents.
(Xiaoxin said: I'm really sorry for everyone lately, and I'm late for updates at every turn.) It just so happened that the mother could give out red envelopes when she did activities recently, and Xiaoxin decided that as long as she was late every day in the future, as a punishment, it was also to apologize for everyone, so she would send a red envelope. Even if I push myself to update on time, I hope you can supervise me ^_^
(PS: Wait, I'll send out a red envelope for being late today.) )
