Chapter II. 29. Second strike
"Merchant! Seriously! β
The little dog looked nervous and showed the trade road in front of him, his eyes widened, and he said word by word:
"They, thieves! We, good people! β
Fourteen carefully identified the guide, then waved his hand behind him casually, and began to rummage through the corpse.
The fourteenth who was about to raise his sword to slash people just now didn't pay attention to the two of them at this time.
Ma Ziliu nodded at the little dog with an appreciative look, and then cautiously stared at the winter solstice people who were rummaging through the corpses, stretched out his hand and carefully dragged the little dog, and walked out of the woods. Unexpectedly, the little dog patted his hand: "Master, wait a minute." Then he ran up to Fourteen and shook his hand in front of the other side's door:
"Here's this, here you go!"
As he spoke, he opened his hands and saw the little dog holding a smoothed copper coin in his palm.
Fourteen smiled softly, took the copper coin, waved his hand outward, and then scratched it horizontally on his mouth.
The puppy nodded immediately:
"Don't tell anyone!"
Then he walked back to Mazi Liu's side with a cheerful expression. Ma Ziliu didn't say a word, but grabbed the little dog's hand again and quickened the pace of leaving.
"How do you know they're deaf?"
After entering Fengjing City, Ma Ziliu, who was silent all the way, asked the little dog.
"I have a good brother in my hometown, because I had a high fever when I was a child, and my family couldn't afford to hire Langzhong, so I became deaf. The two of us have been playing together a lot since we were young, so I am very familiar with the characteristics of deaf people. After entering the Yanjing apprenticeship, I forgot about it. Just now, when I was in a hurry, I suddenly remembered that I would be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and try it. β
Ma Ziliu patted him on the shoulder excitedly:
"Good apprentice, I didn't expect you to be a good general. Now that our master and apprentice have a new problem, do you think there is any better way? β
The new Fu General Puppy is on the rise at this time, and he plans to make new contributions:
"Master, you say, I'll do my best!"
"Well...... We don't have any money right now. If you don't have money, you won't have anything to eat, you won't have a place to live, can you see if there is any way to solve it? β
The little dog hung his head and said:
"If I can solve this, I will still go as an apprentice?"
Ma Ziliu smiled:
"Do you see the sign of Huinan Bank? Boy, learn a little bit, and see how Master, I conjure up silver! β
The two of them had already walked into the gate of Huinan Qian Zhuang at this time, and Dong Ping, the shopkeeper, was walking out to greet the guests, only to hear one of them say:
"Great, Master, I've long wanted to learn your skills as an empty glove white wolf!"
Put down the Huinan Qianzhuang report to the official, but just say that Shen Gui, who had been in a coma for a day and a night in the back street of Hezhong.
Shen Guizi was slapped on the heavenly spirit cover by Liu Banxian yesterday, and he never woke up again. Two days later, it is the sting, that is, the period when the ancestor worship ceremony is held. Fu Yi was sitting at Shen Gui's feet at this time, playing with the Nine Rings that he bought out of nowhere, with a focused and serious expression.
Liu Banxian, who had just had lunch, walked back to the bedroom. Seeing that Shen Gui was still unconscious, he asked Fu Yi:
"Awake?"
Fu Yi was struggling with the toy in his hand, and replied without raising his head:
"I said Liu Daxia, why don't you reach out and probe yourself? If your body is cold, we will dig a pit and bury it secretly at night, anyway, the adults of his family are not there, and no one will go to the yamen to sue you. Pack up and run. β
Liu Banxian, who had just eaten a mouth full of oil, was sucking between his teeth at this time, and there was a 'squeak' sound in his mouth:
"No, it's time to wake up after clearing the meridians! Even if he has a special physique, he has been trained by a master, and no matter how serious the blockage of the meridians is, he will not die. β
After that, Liu Banxian walked to the bed and probed his nose with his fingers: "How can the unlucky child speak!" Isn't this still alive! β
After training Fu Yi, he stretched out his two fingers and knocked on Shen Gui's pulse, hesitated slightly, and sighed secretly:
"That's it, it's cheaper for you."
As soon as Liu Banxian's words fell, he waved a palm and slapped it on Shen Gui's Baihui acupoint.
At this time, Fu Yi finally put down the Nine Links in his hand, put on his shoes and walked out the door.
"Going to dinner? The craftsmanship of the surnamed Song in Huiyoulou is really good, you can try it. β
"I'm going to order longevity materials for Shen Gui, and save the blind when I go out of the funeral."
"Don't waste your money. Old man, I promise that he will not only be fine, but will also have time to disturb the good deeds of that old boy of Huang Bagh. β
When night fell, the six masters and apprentices of Mazi, who had only obtained the silver after layers of checks, had already booked a guest room in an ordinary inn in the south of the city; And Shen Gui, who was slapped on the top of his head, still slept very peacefully on the bed; And Li Le'an, who was grounded in the boudoir of the Prime Minister's Mansion, also stroked the pitch-black scabbard of the Thunder Short Sword with a sweet face, and kept rolling in the quilt; Even Liu Banxian, an "amateur Heavenly Spirit Vein", was admiring the moon and drinking in the water pavilion.
On such a peaceful night, there was a person in Fengjing City, which was very difficult.
"Annihilation? You told me that there were more than 100 elite scouts of the Flying Tiger Army, and all the troops were wiped out? Even if they are chased and killed by Mobei rangers across the border, they won't be able to run back, right? Those scouts' mounts are the finest of the great! A long-distance race may not be as good as a prairie horse, but a short-distance race can never be lost to any horse breed! β
The person who spoke was Zhang Huangling, who had just taken over the position of commander of the Flying Tiger Army. He was originally the son of the Li family, and unlike Wan Changning, he was a descendant of the Eastern Youyou. The current commander of the Flying Tiger Army is also the best proof of Li Deng's unconditional trust in him.
Just a few days ago, the crown prince Yan Daytuo came to him with 100,000 taels of silver, saying that he wanted to borrow a small team of cavalry to teach his enemy's horse gang a lesson. The 100,000 taels of silver tickets are Xie Yi for himself.
Zhang Huangling took office as a new official, and this time he was parachuted into the Flying Tiger Army, which belonged to the Yan family. With no money and no power in his hands, before he could get to the ground, he was collectively set up by several middle-level officers. Don't look at them to offer themselves to the church on weekdays, and there are also a lot of instructions and reports; But Zhang Huangling knew in his heart that this group of middle-level officers would always be in a group when facing him. If you want to make a move, it's like a dog biting a hedgehog, and you can't get your mouth out.
At present, the 100,000 silver sent by the crown prince is naturally not an astronomical amount in the eyes of Zhang Huangling, who grew up in the Li family. But Zhang Huangling was eager to make some achievements to prove that he had the ability to take the lead, so he never had the idea of asking for help from his own family.
The prince used the 100,000 taels of silver borrowed from Bage as a book, and the last straw for the captain of the Flying Tiger Army scout to change the court, Zhang Huangling finally nodded.
The commander of the army does not see the troop symbol and privately transfers troops, which is a matter that can be big or small. If no one investigates and cleans things up in the dark, then don't say much, naturally it's hello, I'm good, everyone's good; But with this result now, it is no longer something that I can bear.
If someone participated in Zhang Huangling's performance at this time, he had no holy decree and no military talisman, and he would have transferred troops privately to fight a crime of rebellion by robbing his family and exterminating his clan, it would be easy.
At this moment, Zhang Huangling was in a cold sweat, his body sitting on the chair was trembling, and he shouted out of the window in a trembling voice:
"Prepare ...... Prepare...... Prepare a sedan chair and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion! β
After shouting, he said to the soldiers around him:
"You hurry up and report to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, just say that the house slave Zhang Huangling, go to see it, something is wrong!"
Zhang Huangling is a military attachΓ©, and he should have ridden a horse when he went out. But at this time, in order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he had to sit in the sedan chair and go straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhang Huangling entered from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and knelt in front of Li Deng tremblingly:
"Eun Xiang...... Lord, save me! β
Li Deng was wearing a brocade cotton robe, and rubbed his eyes slightly with his fingers dipped in tea:
"What's the matter?"
"Former ...... The other day...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to me with 100,000 taels of silver...... asked me to borrow him a team of scouts, saying that he was going to find the bad luck of the enemy's caravan...... So I ...... Just now, the spies came back with a message and said...... The spy said......"
"Say what?"
Li Deng yawned, closed his eyes and asked impatiently.
"Including the Yan family's henchman scout, the Flying Tiger Army's scout team of one hundred and twenty people was wiped out."
"Bang dang!"
The teacup in Li Deng's hand instantly fell off his hand and shattered.
