"Your Excellency—"

Lou Chun led the way and entered the small board house by the dock.

Floor mats and clay pots were haphazardly placed in the house, and a fire was burning in the middle of the pit, reflecting the gray-gold shadows of the slab houses.

The two Ezo slaves on duty had been knocked unconscious, and more than a dozen figures inside belonged to the second batch of twenty Loufu generals who landed on the shore.

"What's the matter, Lou has already escaped from Tangfang and entered the mountains?"

Lou Yun naturally didn't have to be polite to them, wiped a handful of water droplets dripping from the corners of his eyebrows, and asked with a smile the whereabouts of the first batch of people who entered the mountain.

The generals of Loufu are all brothers with the same surname that he brought out, and it was he who had knowledge after leaving the mountain and needed help, so he returned to the southwest and brought them out one after another.

For example, Lou Chun and Lou Ji, the two leaders of the generals, they also had a military meal with him in the Jiangbei border army.

"My lord, there is some trouble, three brothers were trapped in the east side of the water gate when they escaped from Tang Fang. Although they had not yet been discovered, Ji Chenhu's Nanfang Mansion suspended the whole Fang meeting as soon as he heard the sound of drums in the mountains. His second brother's Ji Clan's Inn, taking the opportunity to increase the number of night patrol shopkeepers, they may be searched at any time-"

Lou Chun told the news, looking a little uneasy.

What made him uneasy was that Lou Yun had originally made a plan this time, and he didn't understand why it fell through.

You must know that Lou Yun began to arrange this secret attack as early as two years ago, and there were already five or six small Song merchants who infiltrated Dongfang, and all kinds of news came back:

In the past three years after the female owner was repented of her marriage, she was extremely sad, and she was not discharged from the hospital until she was idle.

Especially after dark, she cooks at home by herself. She has never been out of the small courtyard, even if there is trouble in the workshop or when an envoy from Goryeo arrives, her schedule is not moving, but this time she has changed her habits.

What's more, Lou Yun's plan is:

When Ji Chenhu returns to the workshop tonight, of course she will stay at the home in the small courtyard that their sister and brother have built for many years, as long as she summons Ji Chenhu home and cooks for her brother as she has done for many years in the past. With Ji Chenhu's temperament, I'm afraid that he will be soft-hearted soon.

So. It would be easier for her to keep her position as the owner.

"Where is she in the middle of the house now?"

Lou Yun frowned, "Why don't they wait for the opportunity in the workshop?" ”

It was an established plan to withdraw from Tang Fang after the failure of the secret attack, but not all the details in the workshop were exposed. Even if they miss, they can still get a detailed secret report. It's not like they can't find her place to live again tonight.

Lurking and attacking again, killing a horse pistol is also an alternative strategy this time.

"My lord, I can't find out her whereabouts now."

Lou Chun was a little embarrassed.

It is precisely because the plan of another secret attack cannot be carried out at all. The building in the fang has decided to withdraw from the Tang Fang immediately and enter the Yazhu Mountain.

But three brothers were lost. It's just too undeserved.

"My lord, the female owner seems to be deliberately concealing her whereabouts, is she already on guard? Or did you get a warning from Ji Chenhu? ”

He asked, confused.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, the adult did not tell Ji Chenhu about it. What he was worried about was actually Ji Chenhu's anger and backlash.

"Ji Chenhu still has a place to rely on us, without him to hold a general meeting, Tang Fang will not have a chance to take advantage of it. Since I am not seeking his sister's life. He wouldn't have cared about the attack - as for someone being trapped, he wouldn't have been able to ignore the little thing. They won't be searched. ”

"Yes, sir."

Lou Yun didn't care, and after asking which three brothers were trapped, he laughed,

"A few of them are a little younger, and it is inevitable that they will miss, and it just happens to sharpen their temperament. They used to be good hunters in the mountains, and with the experience of fighting against them, they would be able to find a career in the army in the future - there was no need to worry about them. ”

He waved his hand, and Lou Chun unfolded the topographic map of the mountains that the Quanzhou monks had sent long ago under the torch.

Tang Fang is not big, where can the Ji woman escape to hide when she leaves the Ji family's courtyard, and can he make the details he arranged completely unable to touch the news? "I miscalculated, she was so careful......"

Lou Yun carefully looked at the direction of the location of Zhuma Temple, and then looked at the old street of Tangfang along Beishan Road, as well as the small courtyard of the Ji family on the old street, and he suddenly asked again:

"Has the female owner left Tang Fang tonight?"

There is an old Song monk in Zhuma Temple to protect her, perhaps the easiest place for her to hide?

Is she because of the round of muskets on Song's boat, she understands his warning, and has a weak heart?

"Not really, sir."

Lou Chun was in the firelight, and he could see that he was a thin young man, with small eyes and a baby face, he was younger than Lou Da at first glance, and he was not even twenty years old.

"My lord, although we didn't find out the whereabouts of the female owner, Ji Chenhu sent the news that her sister went to the Neiku workshop and never came out, as if it was because there was an accident with the musket in the workshop and there was a small fire."

"A fire in the workshop?"

Lou Yun frowned and pondered.

The reason can't be said to be unreasonable, and Lou Chun also came to the news from the detailed work in the Confession Workshop:

She did take the ox cart all the way to the direction of Neku.

"Hiding in the inner library? I've heard that it's all her henchmen......"

Lou Yun still felt that something was not right.

The Wanghuo Tower on all sides of Tang Fang. He also did see it, and heard that there were many forests in the land of Fusang, and even when temples were built in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, monks would occasionally be sent across the sea to Fusang to purchase giant trees.

Therefore, the houses in Fuso are all wooden houses, and they are most likely to catch fire when the weather is dry in autumn.

Not to mention such an important place as a firearms workshop.

It's just too much of a coincidence.

There must be a fake.

She should...... Also entered the Zhuma Temple?

For a while, he didn't have time to think deeply, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Ji Chenhu turning his head and hiding her whereabouts, he saw clearly the two west and north mountain roads entering the mountain on the map by the light of the fire.

They are far away from each other, and they can all go straight to Zhuma Temple.

"Send a message to the Quanzhou monks in the temple, and ask them to pay attention to the Buddha Zhai where Kong Ming is located, and see if the female owner has entered the temple."

He commanded in a deep voice, looking at the map,

"Then send a message to Lou Already. Let them come up to the West Mountain Road and lead us into the temple. ”

On the map, Beishan Road is relatively flat, and the villages are everywhere, which is the closest to Tangfang.

Most of the Nishiyama Road is a forest sea with no open mountains, and there are only a dozen newly opened Fuso Granges, which are separated by a mountain from the Kunishou Castle where Dazaifu is located, and from the West Water Gate where they are located. It's only less than two or three miles away.

Although the Nishiyama Road is farther. But according to their steps, as long as someone leads the way, they will not miss the hour, and she will take the lead.

Especially tonight, the mountains and forests are full of life. She must not be as easy to walk as a woman.

Heaven helps.

After Lou Chun arranged the message, he knew that he was about to enter the mountain, so he took a hand-woven linen robe that had been prepared a long time ago and presented it to Lou Yun, so that he could transform it into a mountain shengfan.

He hesitated and reminded again. Road:

"My lord, Ji Chenhu stopped the whole meeting. It seems that he is not in a hurry to act according to the plans of the adults. ”

His sister is now retired to the workshop, her whereabouts are unknown, and she obviously can't compete with her brother to be the owner of the workshop, and now is such a good opportunity. Ji Chenhu was not sure.

It wasn't possible that the workshop caught fire, but his sister deliberately avoided his edge and retreated into the shadows. Leaving the entire Tang Fang to him to dispose of is just to remind him. The original affection of their sister and brother was much more important than the position of the owner. ”

Lou Yun smiled.

Between sisters and brothers, as long as one person is willing to show weakness and give in, even if Ji Chenhu is not soft-hearted, he has to worry about the bad rumors in the fang, the land of Tangfang of 30,000 people, after all, is his sister who bears it and leads the crowd to build.

Whether it is merit or hard work, no one can turn a blind eye to her.

As soon as the kid turned his head, he naturally began to defend his sister. As early as he expected.

"Let's go up the mountain." At his signal, Lou Chun put away the map and left four people to guard the dock to keep the way out.

More than a dozen of them dived into the river together and went around to the docks of Dazaifu.

Under the waning moon, it can be seen that the direction leading to the Dazaifu Kunemo Castle is lonely, and there are still only three or four Ezo slaves on duty at the intersection, and the Fuso soldiers are completely gone.

Almost empty.

Lou Chun couldn't help but habitually glance at Lou Yun, if this was on the border of Jiangbei, in the face of such a lax garrison, of course they would take the opportunity to break into it.

Wouldn't it be a pity not to burn down a few golden people?

Unfortunately, this is Fusang, not the Jiangbei border.

The adult's target is not Fusang, not even Tang Fang, but only the female owner.

"My lord, since Ji Chenhu has made his own decisions, the position of the owner of this workshop-?"

Lou Chun didn't forget it, when he left the fleet this time, he had already seen Lou Da take Lou Yun's instructions and start to send a message to Goryeo.

Adults should also be interested in Erlang Ji Chenlong.

"Ji Chenhu and his eldest sister just disagree, and they don't have a deep hatred, so they are naturally prone to hesitation - this also shows his temperament, let's just see how he deals with the civil strife in Fusang this time, and we can also understand his ability, maybe we can continue to cooperate with him in the future."

Of course, he would not let Ji Chenhu fall to Wang Shiqiang.

In this way, the maritime merchants who sit on the battlefield are still in the East China Sea.

Lou Yun poked his head out of the water and saw that Lou Chun still had hesitation on his face, knowing that he was worried about the three brothers who were trapped.

"I have already written to the female owner, even if they are caught, they will not be in danger of their lives immediately."

His brothers' subordinates are not like Song soldiers on the border, and they can be banned.

They were accustomed to freedom in the mountains and forests, and could not adapt to the strict hierarchy of the upper and lower classes in the army.

The life in the border army is more strict than being a slave in the mountains, and the elaborate orders and prohibitions are the unified cooperation of hundreds or even tens of thousands of people.

Because of poverty in the mountains, even the chieftains and wizards are busy surviving, busy looking for better food, clothing, and shelter, and the most important thing to rely on in the mountains and forests is their innate ability and experience.

When hunting in a group, the cooperation is also very low, so the leader does not need to be the leader, but he must need the best and most experienced hunter.

Although Lou Chun had been in the Song army for a year or two, it was under him, and if he had served under other subordinates, he would have been beaten to death several times by the military stick if he dared to ask questions about Shangguan and hesitate in battle like this.

Just like when he first entered the army, he also suffered a heavy lesson.

He could only teach them slowly.

In the future, when they enter the Quanzhou Water Division, they can only rely on their own abilities.

Lou Da is already the fastest learner and the brother who can best adapt to the life of the Song people, so he has become the leader of the most trusted generals around him.

Lou Yun nodded to Lou Chun, motioned for him to act according to the plan, and said:

"Of course Ji Chenhu also knows that I want to arrest his sister, just to force her to give up the position of the owner, he won't care - even if he is angry, this official has his own way to appease."

"Yes, sir." Lou Chun really calmed down, twisted his lips and whistled.

Before the whistle fell, a figure burst out at the intersection of the docks, and it was the family general they had already arranged. The general directly knocked the guards unconscious

of Ezo slaves, gagged them and tied them in the grass.

After leaving two more people to guard the retreat, Lou Yun led his generals to sneak across the dock and go straight to the mountain path.

In their sudden rush, several figures joined in the grass on the side of the path, and they headed for the west mountain road together.

In the dense forest and sea, the roar of apes and tigers came into my ears one after another.

In a hurry, Lou Yun did not change the coarse linen clothes that Lou Chun gave him, but tied them around his waist.

He took off his jacket that was soaked in the river, and threw it in casually as he passed through the deep valley, revealing his vigorous naked-naked upper body that was light brown in the sun.

He reached out and grabbed a few handfuls of gold-leafed grass on the side of the mountain road, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and wiped it all over his face.

The generals around him have long since changed into the hand-woven linen clothes and animal skin skirts often worn by the Shanyi, and they are dressed as local students.

The evil amulets on their faces were, of course, witch spells in the Yishan Village in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, but in the darkness of the jungle, they were almost impossible to distinguish. (To be continued)
