Seeing that Shang Cheng was silent, Jin Xi's face became more and more gloomy, staring at the border soldiers who were sitting on the ground to rest, he was silent for a moment, raised his eyes and stared at Shang Cheng, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "My lord, you have to make a decision at this time!" Now we can't rest here anyway! According to the words of the Guan family's little three, Sun Whistle and they set off at the time of the hour, and now they should have arrived at Dujiadian, whether he moved or not, or he couldn't bear to send it into the village, we must rush over as soon as possible, and communicate with Sun Whistle as soon as possible! ”

He is an old border soldier, although he has not seen the sword and soldiers fighting in Xiazhai for many years, and he gradually has the idea that more things are better than less things to try to be stable and clean, but after all, the experience and vision are all there, and every word he says falls in key places. Shang Cheng listened motionlessly, until Jin Xi finished speaking, stared at him with straight eyes, and then said, "It was because Sun Whistle and they should have arrived a long time ago that I ordered to rest on the spot." His face was as calm as water, and he said again after a while, "Today's incident is a temporary change of mind by the bandits, Sun Whistle didn't have time to communicate with us, and I don't know if Guan Xiaosan's message was delivered or not, according to his cautious and thoughtful character, he will definitely not act rashly." I thought he must have entered the Dujia store by now. If we send him a signal, he will cooperate with us inside and outside, and if there is no contact, he will take the opportunity to find out the reality of the bandits. There is another one, tomorrow the bandit leader will get married, in order to make a lively scene, the bandits must stay with the You family for one night, this is the custom of the township, and then the bandits can not lose this courtesy, not to mention that the You family is in a hurry to send money, food and cloth before the big day, and there is no saying that the giver of the gift is thrown out......" He pursed his lips and smiled lightly, stared at the direction of Dujiadian with burning eyes, and said with a light smile, "Sun Whistle, they must do it when they go out after watching the ceremony tomorrow and drinking the wedding wine." That's when we gave a big 'gift' to the bandits. ”

Kim Hee blinked and looked at his young boss suspiciously, his eyes behind his eyelids hiding incomprehension and distrust. He couldn't figure out why Sun Zhongshan would do it tomorrow, and why Shang Cheng was so sure that Sun Zhongshan would do it tomorrow. And he also suspected that Shang Cheng was trying to argue for his stupidity. When Shang Cheng came to West Malaysia to take up his post, he had already asked someone about his new boss. At that time, he thought that although the rank of the commander was high, in fact, this Captain Guide had not led a few days of soldiers at all, and only won several battles in succession with a ruthless spirit that he was promoted to his current position. When he heard that the reason why Shang Cheng was sent by the Wei government to Ximazhi as a "fake post" commander was because he offended a big man by talking nonsense in a case, and in the end, even the admiral was swept in, not only lost face, but also ate the court's application for this, so Shang Cheng succumbed to the army as a lieutenant of Guide, and it was a "fake post" in a remote military village like Ximazhi, it is not difficult to understand. This made him a little contemptuous in his heart, and what he paid attention to as an official was the city government, and this captain didn't even know this, so he didn't let a few of them veteran ruffians take care of it casually? When he saw Shang Cheng's face, he knew that this was a person with some real skills, usually talking and laughing and disrespecting his boss, but at critical moments, he was able to hold the situation and control the scene, and after several dealings, even a veteran like Qian Laosan talked to him about his new boss in private, and his words were quite awe-inspiring. But no matter how much he admires with emotion, he can't watch Shang Cheng push dozens of people up to death, right?

Shang Cheng saw that Jin Xi's gaze was wandering, and his face was cloudy, and he knew that he had doubts about his words, because he said: "Sun Whistle doesn't know if Guan Xiaosan has sent a message, right?" ”

Kim Hee nodded.

"Then Sun Whistle is not sure if we can get to Dujiadian in time, will he act rashly?"

Kim Hee didn't speak. He was a veteran of dismounting, and Sun Zhongshan had transferred the soldiers from Ruqi to garrison, and he didn't know him before. Moreover, he is stationed in Xiazhai and Sun Zhongshan is stationed in Zhongzhai, and the two of them just know each other, and they are not familiar with each other. Whether Sun Zhongshan will be able to do it in Dujiadian, he can't say.

"In other words, if you don't know the situation of the rear team or even whether there is backup, will you act in a hurry?"

Kim Hee shook his head.

Shang Cheng asked again: "Sun Zhongshan doesn't know the development of the situation, so he won't do it today, especially since it can't be done immediately when he arrives at Dujiadian, right?" Seeing that Jin Xi nodded again, he continued, "He sent Guan Xiaosan out to deliver the letter, and there are three possible outcomes. First, Guan Xiaosan delivered the letter in time, and we set out immediately after receiving the letter, there was no delay on the way, and we arrived one step ahead of them, but the two sides could not be contacted, and the pace could not be the same, so he would not do it immediately in case of accidents. The second is that it was too late when we received the news, and he took people to Dujia Store first, and in the case of being alone, it was impossible for him to do it immediately. The third is that there was an accident on Guan Xiaosan Road, and the news was not sent to Xiazhai at all, and we did not receive the news report three times a day on time, so we naturally had to send someone to inquire, knowing that things had changed temporarily, and then dispatched......"

Speaking of this, Jin Xi had fully understood, and continued with Shang Cheng's words: "Then the best way Sun Whistle can take is to go to the village first, and then when he comes out to walk back after watching the ceremony tomorrow, he will suddenly do it." At that time, we must have arrived at the outside of the stockade to ambush, he made a move at the gate of the village, let's rush one by one from the outside" He snapped his hands together, squinted his eyes, and his face was full of excitement. "Why worry that the village is not broken!" After laughing twice, he suddenly remembered something, frowned and asked, "But if we break their dark stake, will it alarm them?" ”

Shang Cheng smiled and said, "The bandits' hidden piles must be more than this. Let's pull out the dark piles on this road, and nothing else will be alarmed, just one or two less, and the bandits will definitely not be alert. What's more, tomorrow is a 'good day' for the big boss, and tonight the village will start to be lively, and the scene must be busy, in this case, who will be especially worried about one or two dark piles that have not returned? ”

Jin Xi felt that Shang Cheng's speculation was reasonable. This is how he got married, even relatives and friends added up to a dozen people who were busy with heel spanking, but there were still a lot of big and small mistakes on the day of the wedding, either the carriage of the wedding collapsed as soon as it got on the post road, or six drummers were invited but only three happy money were prepared, and the funniest thing was that the master of ceremonies suddenly had stomach bloating in the middle of the ceremony, and hiccups all the way to the end of the ceremony, and the people in the courtyard of the house were laughing crookedly. So far, every time his daughter-in-law mentions this matter, she has to scold the master of ceremonies one by one, her man was a sentry chief when he got married ten years ago, and he is still a sentry chief ten years later.

Jin Xi's story amused the soldiers on the left to bury their heads and grunt in joy. Shang Cheng narrowed his eyes and grinned, pointed his finger at Jin Xi and waved his hand, twisted his head and shrugged his shoulders. After laughing for a while, he saw another guide, Suza, who had come by at some point, standing alone on the side of the road, biting his lip and suffocating a square face.

Shang Cheng smiled and asked Suza, "How far is it from Dujiadian here?" ”

Su Zha stretched out his right hand a little crampedly, opened his slap full of skin and blood, and said, "Wuli." "This is a foreigner, with a broad forehead and deep eyes peculiar to the Tutwits; He was not tall but stocky, with a dark complexion, two drunken blushes on his cheekbones, and fine wrinkles left by the weather. There is also a bun on his head, the position is different from ordinary people, not to mention, the shape is also very weird, it seems to be a matter of wrapping the hair around the top of the head and then tying it with a thin hemp rope, which is exactly the same as the "work" that Shang Cheng first learned to tie the bun when he first came. Even when he stood up straight, his legs were a little loopy; The tone of speech is also strange, and there are almost no ups and downs.

Jin Xi immediately scolded: "When the adult asks you, you have to say 'tell the adult' first, and then reply to the adult's words!" ”

Shang Cheng waved his hand indifferently and continued to ask, "There is a bandit's hidden stake ahead?" He asked this not because he didn't trust the guide who went to touch the sentry with the former third child, but because this matter was related to the big matter of suppressing bandits and the two border soldiers led by Sun Zhongshan, and he had to repeatedly verify every detail.

"Yes." Suza said. He immediately remembered Jin Xi's lesson just now, so he continued, "Tell your lord." ”

Shang Cheng called Su Zha over, just to confirm the words of the guide just now. Since Suza confirmed that this place was only five miles away from Dujiadian, and there were indeed bandits in front of him, he was about to let Suza leave, but suddenly he heard Suza say "Tell your lord", and the raised hand did not wave, staring at this steppe man, waiting for him to continue.

But after Suza said "Tell your lordship", there was no follow-up. He tightened his lips and just looked at Shang Cheng, but he didn't speak.

After waiting for a while, Shang Cheng asked curiously, "Do you have anything to tell me?" ”

"I, I don't have anything to tell you." Suza said with some flustery. After a pause, he added, "Tell your lord." ”

Shang Chenghu stared at Su Zha suspiciously and asked, "What else do you have to tell me?" Don't worry about the reward, as long as the information is reliable and reliable, it is impossible to treat you badly! ”

Hearing him say this, Suza was even more flustered, but he couldn't shake out half a word in his mouth.

Zhao Shishi, who had been standing next to him, couldn't help it, turned his back and giggled. Several soldiers in front and behind were also smiling with swords. Jin Xi knew that this was a joke made by Shang Cheng who misunderstood Su Za's meaning, and he wanted to laugh too, but he thought that it was because of his own more mouth that finally caused Shang Cheng's misunderstanding, and he didn't laugh at Shang Cheng, so he had to look around with a tense face, pinching his nose and picking his ears.

Shang Cheng was stunned, and immediately understood, he also laughed, waved his hand and was about to let Su Zha leave, but the news had already come from the front.

"Qian Ershao is back with two bandits!"
