Chapter 824: Breaking Inside
It's getting more and more murderous.
Li Mu secretly muttered in his heart that his two brothers, Dugu Jiu and Li Chongyi, were not murderous people in normal times. But as long as it involves their own lives, they are like being beaten with chicken blood, and one doesn't care about the other. Li Mu was worried in his heart, could these two people have any special loves. Xiao Jiu'er, it's not unacceptable to grit your teeth, but if it's a big one-
Li Mu thought about Li Chongyi's muscles, and the picture that appeared in his mind was a little unbearable to look at directly.
"Big brother, what should we do?" Dugu Jiu saw that Li Mu was silent, and asked: "There is a fork in the road not far ahead, to the east is the wharf, and to the west is the Spirit Snake Mountain." ”
"Nonsense, of course I'm going to Spirit Snake Mountain!" Li Mu turned over and sat up, lying on the back of the horse, and his intestines were about to come out: "Why are we here, if I don't see your sister-in-law, I will definitely not go back." ”
"That-" Dugu Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want me to notify the Governor's Mansion and let them transfer troops over?" ”
"Stupid!" Li Mu knocked Dugu Jiu's head and said, "Don't you think the contradiction between the Miao and Han families is not big enough?" Are you trying to force Miao Jiang to rebel? ”
"But if that's the case, there's no way to guarantee your safety." Dugu Jiu argued: "Big brother, I sent a scout to investigate. Spirit Snake Mountain is about to hold something, within three days, the elites of Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks will gather here, more than four or five thousand people! There are more than 100 times more than us, and we don't have enough people to see it. ”
"It's not brave and ruthless, and many people are afraid of something or something." Li Mu rolled his eyes and said, "In this way, you dedicate me to Cui Yuzheng and probe his truth first." ”
"No way!" Dugu Jiu categorically vetoed it and said, "It's too dangerous, Cui Yuzheng hates you to the bone, and he will definitely kill you." Even if you don't kill, you'll be tormented. I can't let you risk it! ”
"Oh, I can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf." Li Mu was indeed a little scared in his heart, but he was not so particularly afraid. In the news he knew, Cui Yuzheng was a paralyzed person. Even if he wants to do this, he has to let his subordinates do it. And now his subordinates have been replaced by Dugu Jiu and others, and everything should still be under control.
To be on the safe side, Li Mu asked, "Have their people been replaced by our people?" ”
"Uh......" Dugu Jiu said uncertainly; We slaughtered all the people who came out, and I don't know how many people in the mountains. ”
"Wait!" Li Mu heard something and confirmed, "How many of them are there?" ”
"A few hundred, I didn't count them carefully."
"Oops!" Li Mu secretly said badly, this number is not right! Hundreds of people came out, dozens of people went back, and it was impossible not to be detected. You have to think of a logical interface to explain the attrition.
When he was frowning, the secret guard who was walking in front suddenly stopped his horse, and seemed to be talking to someone for a few words, and then the two horses came to Dugu Jiuma: "Report to the town and comfort the envoy, this person claims to be the personal guard of the Governor's Mansion." ”
Li Mu looked over and asked; "Are you from the Juguo Mansion?"
"The last general is exact, the last general has seen the Marquis of Luoyang."
"Recognize me?"
"The last general's family has followed Tang Gong for generations, and when he was in Chang'an, he assumed the responsibility of guarding the mansion and met the Hou Ye several times."
"Oh." Li Mu nodded, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Is my mother doing well in the house?" ”
"Madame rushed to Luoyang a month ago, and she is not in the house."
Only then did Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and raised his hand to let the visitor stand up. He is a temptation, and if this man says that Sun is doing well in the mansion, it means that he must be false. Tang Guan and Sun have both rushed to Luoyang, and now in the governor's mansion, only Tang Jian is alone.
"Where is Tang Gong now?"
"Tang Gong gathered 3,000 troops and was crossing the river in batches. Now set up a camp by the river, and send the last general to find Lord Dugu and discuss the matter of finding the Hou Ye. Fortunately, the Hou Ye has been freed from the predicament, and if the grandfather knows, he will be happy in his heart. ”
Li Mu said secretly, Old Tang is really interesting. Three thousand soldiers and horses are not much, but I am afraid that it is the largest number that Old Tang can gather. The Tang Dynasty is a government military system, and the government soldiers are not controlled by the local government, and only the emperor, or the general manager of the soldiers and horses in wartime, can be mobilized with the tiger talisman given by the emperor. The soldiers and horses that Tang Jian gathered should be all the troops of his Governor's Mansion. This is also a forbidden act, and if it is known by the imperial history, it is not impossible to sue him for an intention to rebel.
Old Tang is in charge, and this person has to be remembered.
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "You go back first and tell Tang Gong that I'm all right," After a pause, Li Mu came up with another bad idea, he asked Dugu Jiu to light a branch, make a charcoal, tear off the lining of his robe, and write a letter.
Li Mu handed the letter to Dugu Jiu, and said; "Send three people back with this brother, hand over the letter to Tang Gong, and supervise each other, except for Tang Gong, no one can read the content of the letter."
"Understood!" Dugu Jiu selected three people, tore the letter into three parts, and handed them over to the three people. The four of them broke away from the brigade and went east, and Li Mu and the others continued to travel west.
When he arrived at the place where Dugu Jiu killed the man in brown, Li Mu asked him to stop.
"Where is the body?"
"Behind the other side." Dugu Jiu took Li Mu over, and sure enough, there was a loose soil, Li Mu asked someone to dig it up, carefully selected it, took the knife from Dugu Jiu's hand, and cut off the head.
Then, Li Mu took a knife, like an art student making a plaster statue, and carved it on this skull in detail.
Dugu Jiu watched from the side, his back was a little chilly, and he quietly took two steps back. He really wanted to tell Li Mu how penetrating this scene he saw, but after hesitating, he still didn't dare to say it.
In about a quarter of an hour, the appearance of the head had changed dramatically. A head of Blood Hula can vaguely recognize a human face, but it is very different from its original appearance, and it can make the outline of Tang Jian.
Dugu Jiu watched Li Mu finish his work, walked over and took a look, and said, "Big brother, who did you learn this disguised craft from, it's amazing!" ”
"I learned from Chenchen, but I haven't been home yet." Li Mu took a closer look at his work and said: "You have some scars on each other's bodies, remember, when you came out of Spirit Snake Mountain, you met the Tang army, and after a fight, you lost most of them, and in the melee, you killed the people who were the leaders." The Tang army was in chaos and retreated to the riverside to rest, understand? ”
"Got it!" Dugu Jiu nodded and commanded. The people under him are also real, and when they hear the command to make some traces, they will immediately take knives and cut each other. Li Mu hurriedly stopped: "It's stupid, isn't there a corpse, just get some blood on your body!" ”
Suddenly, everyone dug up the buried corpse again, cut it a few times, and felt some blood on it. Pity these brown men, who can't rest in peace when they die, and are dug up and die again.
Li Mu saw that these people had crossbow arrows on their bodies, and hurriedly said: "A group of losers, do you know how much these crossbow arrows cost?" If you can recycle, you have to recycle. Check them all carefully, and the crossbow arrows that can be pulled out are all pulled out by Lao Tzu, maybe they can be used. ”
Everyone acted according to their words, and Dugu Jiu explained: "Big brother, I was in a hurry to find you yesterday, but I didn't have time-"
"It's okay, I'm not really short of this money." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Maybe you can really use it, when you get to the mountain, anything can happen." Li Mu asked, "Did you bring my baggage?" ”
Dugu Jiu shook his head and said, "The midwife, the tailor, and the cook are still on the other side, and your burden is also on the other side." ”
"Do you have the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle I gave you?"
"Ah, in," Dugu Jiu took out the rainstorm pear flower needle sent by Li Mu from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "I haven't used it once." ”
"I'll take it first, there's no one to take advantage of." Li Mu put it in his arms, tore off the brown clothes on a corpse, put it on his body, and then made some blood, mud, mixed and smeared on his face, mixed in the crowd without looking carefully, he couldn't see who he was at all.
Dugu Jiu said worriedly: "Big brother, Miao people can speak Miao language, we can't speak it, I'm afraid it will be exposed." ”
"Don't worry." Li Mu analyzed: "There is a possibility of revealing the stuffing, but it is not very large. Cui Yuzheng is a Han Chinese, and his henchmen will be able to speak Chinese. Moreover, there are many Miao people who speak Chinese, especially Hei Miao, who has more contact with the Han people, and will speak a few words of Chinese, which is not surprising. ”
After a pause, Li Mu said again: "If it is pierced, without saying a word, take out the repeater and shoot a round to shock them." I got the news that your sister-in-law also has the number one in the Snake Spirit Sect, so it is impossible not to have a henchman. ”
"Okay." Li Mu has already made up his mind, what else can Dugu Jiu say, he can only sacrifice his life to accompany his eldest brother.
While talking and walking, at noon, he had already arrived at the boundary of the Spirit Snake Mountain. When they arrived at the mountain gate, the group didn't stop and went straight over. No one came out to stop him, as Li Mu expected, the identity of the brown-clothed man was transcendent, and no one dared to provoke him in Spirit Snake Mountain.
Walking along the road to the mountain at a gallop, Dugu Jiu asked in a low voice, "Big brother, we don't know where people are?" Where to find Cui Yuzheng? ”
"Easy to do!" Li Mu gestured to Dugu Jiu with his eyes, suddenly slowed down the horse, and rolled off the horse's back. Dugu Jiu hurriedly dismounted, Li Mu lay on the ground, and said, "What was the name of the leader of the brown-clothed man you asked last night, and you called him faint." ”
Dugu Jiu commanded one of the darkest guards under his hand and shouted: "Come on, the leader of Zakun has fainted!" Help! ”
"What's the matter!"
Sure enough, someone heard that a brown-clothed man came over with a few people, and when he saw Li Mu who had fainted on the ground, he wanted to come over to check. Li Mu was afraid of revealing the stuffing, so he stood up with his arms propped up, and said in a go-free voice: "Take me, go, go to see the sect leader." ”
The brown-clothed man was shocked: "Zakun, why did your voice change?" ”
Li Mu hurriedly lowered his voice and said astringently: "I'm in a hurry, my voice is hoarse, take me to see the sect leader!" ”
"Oh, good, hurry, hurry!" The man in brown did not doubt him, who would have thought that a group of Han people would appear in Spirit Snake Mountain, seeing that Li Mu was so anxious, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked someone to carry a stretcher and carried Li Mu to the entrance of the cave where Cui Yuzheng lived.
A smell of blood wafted out from the entrance of the cave, and Li Mu almost vomited. The smell is like a septic tank for animal waste in a slaughterhouse, and it is indescribably disgusting. Cui Yuzheng actually lived in this kind of place, which was a little disgusting.
"How did you do this!" Cui Yuzheng asked sharply, but he didn't dare to come out, during the day, the sun would burn him to death.
Li Mu pinched the rainstorm pear flower needle in his hand, and if he was found out, he immediately broke the net, and said in a low voice: "Back to the sect leader, I met the Tang army on the way, they saw us and attacked without saying anything, and the subordinates and others fought hard, and most of them were lost, and only a few dozen people escaped back. ”
"Then you still have the courage to come back! I'm going to throw you all into the holy pool! ”
A beast-like roar came from the cave, and a fishy wind came out, Li Mu lay on the ground, and said in panic: "The sect leader is angry, and when his subordinates and others rush to kill, kill the leader of the Tang Army!" ”
"Kill the leader of the Tang Army?"
Cui Yuzheng's puzzled voice came, paused, and said, "What about the voucher?" ”
"Here!" Li Mu shouted, Dugu Jiu took the prepared head, and Li Mu put his hands on the entrance of the cave.
"Go inside!"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and reacted that he wanted to put the human head in the shadows, so he had to 'crawl over' and push the human head in.
"Tang Jian?" Cui Yuzheng picked up the head and looked at it, and was surprised. He immediately looked outside the cave and said, "You killed Tang Jian?" ”
"My subordinates didn't know who they had killed, and there was no hope of survival at that time, so they only thought that killing one more person was one person. Seeing that the Tang army was protecting this person, he knew that this person was important, so he rushed to kill him. I didn't expect to be able to escape, fortunately, luckily, it was all blessed by the sect leader Hong Fu. ”
Li Mu's heart to play was big and he sent a sycophant; "The subordinates wish the sect leader eternal blessings, longevity and heaven."
"Immortal blessings are eternal, longevity and Tianqi?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and reacted that he wanted to put the human head in the shadows, so he had to 'crawl over' and push the human head in.
"Tang Jian?" Cui Yuzheng picked up the head and looked at it, and was surprised. He immediately looked outside the cave and said, "You killed Tang Jian?" ”
