Chapter 201: The Wind Rises II
Wancheng, north of the city, an ordinary house.
The house looks ordinary, nothing special, but in the house, there are corner towers standing on all sides, the upstairs of the corner tower looks comfortable, but there are people with giant crossbows in the dark to guard, and the courtyard corridor houses seem to be calm, but there are many organs.
The owner of this mansion is called Tan Zong.
Tan Zong is already sixteen years old this year, not tall and burly, but he is also tall and heroic, and there is a killing aura of yin owl on his body, which makes people see a feeling of respect three feet away.
He was reading a book with a lamp at this time, a book left to him by Mu Jing, with a lot of things he needed to learn.
"The danger that cannot be seen is the danger!"
"The knife is always the sharpest when it is placed next to others!"
"Spy, news!"
"Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, know yourself but do not know the other, you can't fight!"
“……”
This book was given to him by Mu Jing in the past, this is a book about spies, and it also opened up a mysterious world for him, and he benefited a lot, so as long as he has free time, he will never leave the book.
"Young master, wait for me to set up a spy network in Jingzhou, and I will go to Luoyang to find you!"
After half a sound, he was a little tired, pinched the bridge of his nose, and remembered some news from returning from Luoyang, and a cold glow broke out in his eyes.
As a spy cultivated by Mu Jing, he naturally would not fail to pay attention to the news of Luoyang.
He knew that Mujing was in a difficult situation.
But no matter what the situation in Luoyang is, he can't reach it, the lord has just moved into Nanyang now, and he hasn't gained a firm foothold yet, he, the person in charge of news transmission, must not take care of one or the other, otherwise he would have gone to Luoyang a long time ago.
"Childe, there's a message from Xiangyang!"
A tall, burly ranger knocked on the door, stepped forward, and handed over a small bamboo tube.
"How long?"
"It's time to come!"
"I spent nearly four hundred gold to open up the post station between the two places, which is to facilitate the transmission of espionage, but this speed is still a little slower, I recently found some books, flying pigeons are not impossible, let the people under them look for it, but there is a place for flying pigeons!"
"No!"
"Xiangyang is here, it doesn't seem to be good news."
Tan Zong put down the book, opened the bamboo tube, took out the note inside, looked at it, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "Xiangyang can't sit still, Jingzhou Thorn History, Nanjun Taishou, are you going to join forces, hehe, interesting!" ”
Xiangyang is somewhat afraid of the violent bear entrenched in Nanyang.
So it's inevitable to do something with your hands and feet.
However, now that Mushan has heavy troops, their actions can't stop Mushan at all, so they can only act in secret, such as the Nanxiang Rebellion.
He took the note and said to the entourage who was sitting on the left and right: "Fang Mu, Yaowu, you immediately send a message to all parts of Jingzhou, keep your eyes open, if there is news in each county, immediately report it quickly, mainly Changsha and Jiangxia, you know!" ”
Jiangxia's Huang Zu, born in a family, is deep-rooted, and his art of war strategy is quite outstanding, and he has tens of thousands of Jiangxia soldiers under his command, which can be regarded as the opponent of the lord.
Sun Jian of Changsha, Jiangdong Tiger, peerless general, once crusaded against the Yellow Turban, conquered Xiliang, and made great achievements, just like his lord, he was rewarded by the imperial court as the Marquis of Wucheng, and guarded Changsha County, and the Jiangdong soldiers under his command were the elite of the elite, and they contacted to pacify the Changsha Rebellion, and also chased the rebels in Lingling, and the mighty town of Jingzhou.
This person is the most feared person in Jingzhou.
As long as the two of them are stared, Jingzhou is not afraid.
"No!"
The left and right guards took the order and left.
"Childe, someone outside the door asked to see him, but he didn't reveal his identity, he gave this, saying that Childe would see it at a glance!" A ranger in Tsing Yi walked in quickly and handed over a token, on which there was a black mandala flower.
"What is this?"
Tan Zong's face changed color when he saw it: "Young Master's Jingping Order!" ”
Jingping Order, the military order of Jingping Battalion, is also a status symbol of Mujing.
"Where are the people?"
"Still outside the door!"
"Bring it in now, don't make a noise!"
"No!"
The green-clad ranger nodded, and quickly brought in the person, who was wearing a hat and walking at a very fast pace.
"Who are you?" Tan Zong asked.
"It's me!"
Huo Yu uncovered the hat, and his voice was deep.
"Huo Zhongheng, aren't you from Luoyang?" Tan Zong said in surprise.
"It's hard to put into words!"
Huo Yu said in a deep voice: "The young master has a secret order, don't make a noise, only I went south, but along the way, I suddenly lost my tracks, was intercepted by assassins, and the guards around me were killed and wounded, but I finally escaped with my life and came south, but I am afraid of the land of Nanyang, there is an enemy to track, so I will look for you first, the young master said, in Nanyang, only you can be trusted!" ”
"Young Master's secret order?"
When Tan Zong heard this, his face changed: "Is it for the lord?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Are you going to ask me to pass on the secret order for you, or are you going to let me take you to the Taishou Mansion!"
"This secret order can only be passed on by myself, the order of the young master, cannot be violated!" Huo Yu shook his head and said.
"Got it!"
Tan Zong nodded and said, "Give me time to arrange, and I will let you enter the Taishou Mansion unnoticed!" ”
Tan Zong arranged it, and said to the guards beside him: "Zhao Ming, you go with me to the Taishou Mansion, I will enter head-on, you climb over the wall to attract guests, attracting people's attention!" ”
"No!"
This ranger is invited by Tan Zong with a lot of money, and he is also quite famous in the Nanyang area, his skills are already the peak of internal strength, and his swordsmanship is outstanding.
The group soon came to the Taishou Mansion.
"Someone broke into the Taishou Mansion at night!"
"Chase!"
Under a dark shadow, it soon attracted the Tai Guardian to pursue.
"In Xia Tan Zong, please report it!"
Tan Zong came with a man wearing a hat and arched his hand.
"No!" The guards of the Taishou Mansion went to pursue the black shadow, and it was the guards who greeted them, and the guards happened to know Tan Zong, so they immediately went in to report it.
Soon the Makiyama in the hall received the news.
"Jing'er has always valued two people, one is Lei Hu, the other is Tan Zong, Tan Zong's kid resigned from all his official positions and disappeared for a long time, I can't find him, he is really a little elusive!"
Mu Shan was discussing with Jiang Lu and the others how to deal with this Nanxiang Rebellion, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard the return.
"Lord, you don't underestimate this Tan Zong!" Jiang Lu said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, after returning from Runan, he received two thousand gold from the Taishou Mansion with a warrant from the young master, almost emptied our treasury gold, and also borrowed three thousand gold from Jingping Commercial Bank, such a large amount of money is in his hands, but it is not enough in three months, and it has been exhausted, but we don't know what he is doing!" ”
"Jing'er's subordinates, I have always interfered less!"
Mu Shan didn't care very much, and said, "Let him in." ”
"No!" The guards went down and quickly led Tan Zong up.
"Zong, meet the lord!"
Tan Zong bowed his head and bowed.
"Your kid has come to see a certain family, what's the matter?"
"Zong Lord has introduced a person!"
"Is that him, who is he?" Makiyama's eyes squinted at the person behind him.
"Huo Yu, the master book next to the young master, meet the lord!" Huo Yu took off his hat and bowed.
"It's you!"
Mu Shan recognized it at a glance: "Huo Zhongheng, I know you, Jing'er doesn't hide from you about big and small things, but I remember that you are in Luoyang, how to go back!" ”
"The young master has a secret order, and I need to pass it on to the lord, but ......" Huo Yu said: "Only the lord is passed on!" ”
"These are all loyal brothers, and they can't be made!"
Makiyama drank cold.
"The young master has such an order, and Yu will respect it!"
"Lord, I'll step back first!" Jiang Lu and the others hurriedly said.
"Go ahead!"
Mu Shan was also helpless: "Jing'er is chattering, that's it, just wait outside the door!" ”
"No!"
Everyone nodded, and even Tan Zong didn't stay, and went out directly.
"Lord, this is the young master's secret letter, and this, the young master ordered, must be handed over to the lord alone!"
Tan Zong took out the secret letter and a wooden box.
Then he bowed and bowed, and stepped back: "The young master commanded, the lord must read it alone, and his subordinates will retire first!" ”
Above the lobby, the lights were flickering, and Makiyama opened the letter, looked at it, and his face suddenly became serious.
He opened the wooden box again, took out a holy decree as heavy as Mount Tai, his fists clenched suddenly, and a pair of bear eyes were sometimes shining, sometimes gloomy, and his expression was also gloomy.
"Mu Jing, your courage is greater than your Lao Tzu!"
After about half an hour, Mu Shan let out a long breath of turbidity, there was no hesitation in his eyes, and the rest was decisive: "In this case, I will fight hard, be a master, or a pair of dry bones, it depends on whether this God will give luck!" ”
"Pass the Thunder Tiger, Zhou Cang!"
"Yes!"
A person outside the door answered.
Lei Hu and Zhou Cang were both generals in the garrison city, and they soon rode their horses and entered the palace.
"Lei Hu, Zhou Cang, you take the lead in each of your own soldiers and horses, go out of the city left and right, watch the Nanyang soldiers outside the city, and wait for my order!"
"No!"
Lei Hu and Zhou Cang were a little surprised, but they quickly took the order and left.
"Come in for me!" Only then did Mu Shan summon his subordinates to come in, including Huo Yu and Tan Zong.
"Lord, what's going on?"
Jiang Lu was a little anxious: "This is not the time to move troops against Ji Yi!" ”
Ji Yi's Nanyang County soldiers are nothing, and they can be encircled and suppressed between their backhands, but once they start, the impact is too great, and it will inevitably cause hostility from all sides.
"Look at this!" Mu Jing gave him the things in his hand and said indifferently.
"Divine decree?"
Jiang Lu glanced at it, like thunder thundering into the zenith, and was speechless for a long time.
"You and others are all my ministers, I can trust you and others, let's take a look!"
Although Mushan is not the same as the literary strategy, but he has a temperament as stable as Mount Tai, no matter when he can stabilize the people under his command, this is a kind of boldness, the spirit of a hero.
"King Qin?"
"Into Beijing?"
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to speak.
"Ji Yi, I can't stay!" After a long time, Makiyama spoke: "I'll do it at dawn!" ”
"Think twice!"
Jiang Lu arched his hand: "There is no turning back from this matter, we in Nanyang are not ready to put the world first!" ”
"My son has sent this holy decree, and this is the decision on his behalf!"
Mushan pressed his hand, his face was resolute, and he said: "My son is trapped in the capital, it is difficult to extricate himself, the capital, I'm afraid I have to go too, my son has the courage to do the world, how can I Mushan be afraid of the head and tail, this is already a blessing and a curse, you don't want to, I don't force it, you can choose to stay!" ”
