1157 Count against each other
The morning light cleared, and today is another good weather.
At this time, about a hundred miles or so in the northeast direction of Xiao Han, there was a huge team, slowly advancing towards Yangzhou City.
Looking down from the sky, the composition of this team is simply strange and varied!
Among them, there are pirates, bandits, pirates, and some mysterious Han people.
So many people with different identities, different positions, and even different language countries are walking together at this time, and it is extremely strange.
More than 10,000 people, boundless!
At present, although this team of about 7,000 people is not as grand as 10,000 people, it is also like a long dragon walking on the field road, winding and endless, and the end is missing.
In the middle of this long line, there is a group of men in black who are surrounded by bandits in rags, which is particularly eye-catching!
"Xiao Qi, how long will it take to get to Yangzhou?"
In the middle of the man in black, an old voice came from a small cyan sedan chair.
And with this voice, the cyan sedan curtain rolled lightly, revealing an old man with a dry body, white beard, and only a pair of shining eyes.
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, it stands to reason that there was no sedan chair.
If there are nobles who travel, but it is inconvenient to take a car, they will generally choose a walking pole, that is, two long poles to carry a chair, which is very similar to the sliding rod in later generations.
Right now, the steps that the old man was riding under him were surrounded by a curtain on the roof.
Except for the pole that is easy to lift is still designed at the bottom, the others are the same as the sedan chairs of later generations, so it is not inappropriate to say that he is riding in a sedan chair.
"Back to the old man, there are about one hundred and thirty miles left, and we will arrive in Yangzhou."
Under the sedan chair, an old man with the same gray hair heard the old man calling himself, and hurriedly glanced at the top of his head, and replied with a salute.
"More than a hundred miles, only two days......" The old man in the sedan chair listened to the old servant's words, touched the sedan curtain blown by the wind with his withered fingers, and a smile gradually appeared on his face full of wrinkles and ravines.
"There are two days to go to Yangzhou, have the other teams followed?" After a while, the old man asked with a smile again.
The old servant who followed the sedan chair frowned and looked around, and replied respectfully: "Back to the sect master, several teams that went out to loot and raised grain and grass have followed one after another!" Some of the teams that set off on their own are also on their way here! And the old slave also heard that there is already a large team that is faster than us, and at this time they should all be outside Yangzhou City, but I don't know if they will startle the snake. ”
"Surprise the snake?" The old man smiled when he heard this, and at the same time a finger rhythmically tapped the handle of the chair under him, looked ahead and said, "If they can really attract everyone's attention to Yangzhou City, wouldn't it be a good thing for us?" How can you say that you are scared? Moreover, the "snake" is frightened! Now that the empty Yangzhou City, there is still one of the "snakes"? ”
"But the sect master, although there are no soldiers in Yangzhou City now, but after such a long time, the Tang Dynasty must have already gotten the news, in case the imperial court reinforcements arrive, there are so many people here, but ......" The old servant still said with a worried look.
He knew very well that in order to gather so many people this time, it was almost barely completed with the strength of the whole sect!
Among them, countless calculations, temptations, guidance, deception, almost everything! Once they returned in vain, or were crushed by the imperial court.
In recent years, the already precarious sect is afraid that the people's hearts will immediately scatter and collapse!
"You want to say it's all gone, don't you?"
After listening to the old servant's words, the old man still looked calm and light, and even directly pointed out the words he didn't dare to say.
You must know that at the moment of the war, not only can you not say the word "annihilation", you can't even think about it!
Only a person like him, who regards the world as an ant and doesn't care about the success or failure of a war, will speak out without taboos.
The old servant was a little frightened, and quickly bowed his head, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, the old man squinted his eyes, leaned on a wide chair covered with thick cushions, and said to him leisurely: "Your vision is always so short-sighted, and you don't want to put it down when you get it in your hand, but I don't know that when I found them, I just wanted them to go to Yangzhou City to create some chaos."
When Yangzhou is in chaos, we will take the opportunity to go to the secret workshop of the young Hou Yiye to find those things! When the things are in hand, we will leave Yangzhou.
After that, whether these people are dead or alive, fleeing or fleeing, what do we have to do with us? And we have an inextricable relationship with the young master! This time we took his things, we should have left something for him to be angry, right? More than 10,000 people are estimated to be enough to calm his anger. ”
When the old man said these words, he didn't deliberately lower his voice, but the people around him were all the most loyal people in the sect, and they were not afraid to be heard by outsiders.
"But is there really anything you want in those workshops?"
Hearing the old man's almost dreamlike whisper, this question that had been pressing on the old servant's heart for a long time, turned around in his mouth again at this moment, but as before, this time he still couldn't say it in the end.
Because he knows very well that once the sect master has made a decision, no one can change it, so why should he touch this mold?
"It's all to blame on the damn Mo family, the iron bucket of Yangzhou City is beaten, and the people in the sect can't infiltrate it at all! If you change cities, where is there such a trouble? ”
With a deep sigh, the old servant looked up at the sky in the distance, and there was a lot of resentment in his heart against the Mo family who had belonged to the same camp for no reason.
Xiao Han estimates that he still doesn't know: Yangzhou, which he unintentionally chose at the beginning, has caused much trouble to those with ulterior motives outside just because of the existence of the Mo family!
I don't know how many secret arrows he has secretly blocked for him in front of him, Yin Can, who has been giggling and not in shape.
At this time, he was sitting on the highest mountain in the valley, facing the cold morning breeze, looking thoughtfully at the explosion site that was still the same.
"Master Hou, Master Hou, Wang Wu has already dressed up and is ready to go!" Xiao Han was still stunned, but Xiao Dong suddenly climbed up from the hillside on one side and said to Xiao Han with a strange expression.
"Oh? Where are the others? When Xiao Han heard this, he collected his thoughts and turned his head to look at Xiaodong.
Xiaodong grinned, and then waved his hand vigorously down the hill!
Soon, a black-faced man with a disheveled hair and ragged clothes appeared beside him.
