"I see, it's ......" When Yue Xiang finished compiling it, Yang Shan suddenly realized.

Yue Xiang made up a set of half-truths and half-truths, saying that he actually fought with the Tartars in Qinghe some time ago. The other party pretended to be a horse thief and plundered the suburbs, he led the men and horses out of the city to clear up, but he did not expect to bump into the cavalry led by Huang Taiji himself, the two sides fought a fierce battle, his men were all wiped out, he rode into the enemy formation to avenge his subordinates and wounded Huang Taiji, although he failed to take his head, but captured a woman from his formation.

After interrogating the woman, she learned that the Tartars entered the territory of the Qinghe River to find a person in the Weining camp, but the strange thing is that the Weining camp had been killed by a horse thief of unknown origin in advance, and the clues were interrupted. Later, he used a plan to lead the whole army to retreat safely, perhaps the Tartar thought that he knew too much, and Huang Taiji was eager for revenge, so he wanted to kill him.

He stayed in Qinghe, and because his subordinates were all wiped out, he was no longer of great help to Qinghe's defense. He was restless, so he sent his wife out of Qinghe and went to a relative's house in Chaihe Fort. When I met Yang Shan and others, I had the experience of being on the mountain.

Yue Xiang's words were half true and false, and the clouds and mountains were covered with fog, in fact, there were many loopholes, but he couldn't make up very round words in his eagerness. However, Yang Shan didn't seem to have any doubts, just touched his chin and seemed to be thinking about something, and it seemed that he believed seven points.

"So Brother Yue doesn't know who the Tartar is looking for when he goes to Qinghe?"

"How do I know? I learned that the Weining camp had been sacked by horse thieves, and I was ordered to go out of the city to clear it, only to find that the whole camp had become a scorched earth, and there was no one left alive. I didn't expect the horse thief to catch up, but he ran into the cavalry led by Huang Taiji head-on, and I pity my more than 300 brothers, and now only four are alive. ”

According to the brother, this matter is really strange. That Tartar sneaked to look for someone, could it be that he was doing something unseemly? I don't know what the identity of the woman my brother caught? Did you ask about it? ”

"That woman is a Jurchen, probably Huang Taiji's concubine, in short, his woman. I don't know why Huang Taiji took her out, in short, this woman is very angry, and she can't open her mouth if she asks too much. I'm going to have to get out of her way in the end, and I can't torture her. Huang Taiji's woman was captured alive by me, probably thinking that I had damaged his woman's body, so he chased me to death. ”

"Looking at this meaning, it seems that someone knew Huang Taiji's purpose in advance and destroyed the Weining camp before him. Led the brothers to fight a big battle with the Jianzhou soldiers. Thinking that the woman must be the key figure in this incident, after being captured by her brother, the Tartars were afraid that the news would leak out, so they pursued the brother endlessly. I just don't know if it's Huang Taiji's own actions in private, or if he got the order of their chief, what are they going to do? ”

Yue Xiang palpitated for a while, Yang Shan's analysis was really not far from the truth, it seemed that this person was not a lamp with leftover oil. I just don't know if he will associate it with the legend of Gao Huai's hidden gold, this kind of legend probably only spreads underground, but with this person's identity in the rivers and lakes, he may be able to come into contact with it.

"If only I knew, lest I be hunted down in such a foolish way. Even if you die, you have to be a ghost. Yue Xiang said lightly, but Wang Yining's eyes next to him flashed imperceptibly.

"That's the case, Yue Er, why didn't you say anything just now, making everyone so embarrassed." Wang Yining's tone was completely muddy.

"Didn't I say it, I don't think it's necessary to say it in the first place. Second, I'm confused now, I can't understand it at all, how do you tell me to talk about it? I think I must have inadvertently broken through some of the Tartars' secret deeds, and as a result, I became a thorn in the side of some people who wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. Actually, I figured out that the mysterious horse thieves were the real ones behind it, and I happened to be their scapegoat, but I didn't know what the trick was. ”

At this point, the "misunderstanding" can be regarded as solved. Although the words are full of loopholes, Yang Shan, the head of the family, expressed his belief, and the rest of the people like Mao Wenlong, although he had doubts on his face, had to believe it, anyway, there was no time to delve into this matter now, and there were still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in front of him.

"Boss, what is going on over there with the Tartars?" Taking advantage of the arrangements for the retreat of the people in the village, several leaders in the village and Mao Wenlong came over, and the topic was naturally inseparable from the situation in front of them.

"Drag it out as much as you can, let's hurry up. This stockade is not to be kept. ”

Mao Wenlong's eyes rolled and said, "I always feel that this Yue Xiang is out of tune, he will take the initiative to stay in the palace?" How great is he? I think this guy has something else in mind. ”

"Whether he has other plans, he doesn't have time to investigate it in detail now. We won't be able to delay for long, now we have to hurry! At the moment of the great enemy, internal strife is self-defeating. I saw that he fought just now, and the pigtail soldiers were real swords and real guns, not half false, and it seemed that he really had an inextricable deep hatred with the Tartars. ”

"Can't you just hand this kid over?" Rouge Tiger doesn't want to leave the incense burner mountain, she grew up in this village since she was a child, this is her home, and asking her to give up the Sifang Village is really like digging meat from her heart.

"It's late." Wang Yining said beside him, "If we had handed over people at the beginning, maybe there would be a line that might let the Tartars put the cottage horses, and now that they have fought with others, how can dozens of Tartar corpses be said to not care if they don't care?" Jianzhou Jurchen has always been those who obey me and those who disobey me die, and they have always been merciless to those who have resisted themselves, and Nurhachi does not even let go of his own relatives and tribes, we killed dozens of them, and this feud has been settled. Do you think that if we hand over the people now, the Tartars under the mountain will let us go? ”

"We're dying more!"

"What is the life of our Han people in the eyes of the Tartars? If a Tartar can reason with you, then he is not a Tartar. I'm sure that even if we hand over Yue Xiang, the Tartars won't let us go. Don't forget what he said just now, if what he said is true, maybe the Tartars still think we are also insiders. Will it allow us to live? ”

"Stop fighting!" Yang Shan waved his hand to interrupt the argument between the two, "Anyway, there is only one way for us to go now. Since he is willing to be the queen, let him be the queen. Anyway, there is no other way to go on this mountain. It's just ......" He beckoned to Rouge Tiger and whispered a few words in her ear. Rouge Tiger's face was stunned, he looked at Yang Shan, and saw that Yang Shan's face was resolute, and his eyes were faintly gloomy, so he nodded in agreement and turned to leave......

At a walled wall, Yue Xiang looked at the direction of the mountain outside the wall, and his heart fluctuated.

The Jurchen bannermen who came to attack the mountain just now were all wearing red clothes and red armor, and they didn't look like Huang Taiji's white flag people, but they looked like the two red flags of Dai Shan. He and Dai Shan have no grudges, could it be that Huang Taiji has sent his subordinates to pretend to be Dai Shan's people to find trouble for him? However, looking at the scale of this dispatch and the fanfare, it is absolutely impossible to conceal his whereabouts. Is it really a good person?

They named and wanted to arrest Lao Tzu, did they know about Xiaowan? Could it be that Huang Taiji explained his situation to Dai Shan? Or is it Abahai's slut? And most importantly, how did they know Lao Tzu's whereabouts? This trip has been done secretly enough, and the rumors still leaked to him, is it ......

It's useless to think about it here, and it's really hard to say whether the current situation can be overcome. If this Jianzhou Jurchen came a day late, maybe it would be enough for them to act on their own, but unfortunately they came too quickly.

He didn't really believe in Yang Shan and these people at all, and he also knew that maybe Yang Shan didn't fully believe his words. Anyway, I am not interested in the life or death of these bandits, and now there are only two ways, the first is to retreat temporarily, and come back in the future after getting out of danger. But if he followed Yang Shan and them all the way, it was likely that he would fall into their hands after retreating to a safe place, so he didn't believe in the so-called morality of the rivers and lakes in Yang Shankou, which was why he wanted to take the initiative to distance himself from them.

The second road is much more dangerous, that is, try to use the time difference to find out what you are looking for from the eunuch temple, and then try to find a way to retreat, in short, to avoid the Jurchens and Yang Shan's group. It's quite difficult, and it's time-sensitive.

Just as he was thinking, a hand slapped on his shoulder. He was distracted, and the sudden slap startled him, and when he looked back, it was Wang Yining.

"You don't have to pay for your life if you're scared to death?!" Yue Xiang yelled at him angrily.

Wang Yining didn't care, didn't speak, just looked at him, his eyes stared at his eyes so carefully, as if he was observing something very interesting. Yue Xiang was uncomfortable by him, and his eyes involuntarily wandered away.

"You're a nymphomaniac? What to see, what to see!? Am I not a beauty? ”

"Hehe, although you are not a beauty, you are much more interesting than a beauty." A strange smile appeared on Wang Yining's face, "You know what? You actually have a habit of not knowing if you have noticed, when you lie, most of the time you always like to put your hands behind your back, and you like to clench your fists with your four fingers and hold your thumbs. ”

Yue Xiang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously let go of his hand. But then he understood that he had been fooled, turned his head to look at Yang Shan's side, and asked, "He asked you to come?" ”

"Did he let me come because of what? Anyway, after a while, you will be chopped into meat sauce by the Tartar knife, and if you have something to hide in your heart, you have to go to the Netherworld Mansion to tell Lord Yama. I'm thinking that we have a fellowship, and I'm kind enough to come and hear if you have any last words. ”

"Whew! Hurry up and climb to the side for me. A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Yue Xiang secretly felt bad luck and ignored him.

"Hey, hey, hey, and you still have the heart to say witty things, it doesn't seem like your kid is too nervous." Wang Yining seemed to be smiling, looking at him with a look full of cunning. "I think it's strange, when did you become so great, these people in the cottage don't have any deep friendship with you, how could you take the initiative to ask to stay behind the palace? Are you impatient? You're afraid that you've never been so filial to your father. ”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Yue Xiang already knew that if someone could see through his mind, it would be Wang Yining.

"Do you have any other plans for this guy? Is there any way back? ”

Yue Xiang didn't speak, just glanced at Yang Shan in the distance, he was turning his back and didn't see here.

"My road may be a dead end, you better follow the brigade to be safer."

"I don't know if I'm going to die. If there are too many people and the goal is too big, even Lao Yang's path may not be a way to live. The Tartars under the mountain know how to make counter-plots, and it seems that there are resourceful people among them. They wouldn't have thought of closing the mountain and cutting off the road? You like to win in danger, and according to what I know of you, you will not easily put yourself in danger without preparation. ”

Is it? But I'm not the same person I used to be. Yue Xiang couldn't decide whether to tell Wang Yining the truth, after all, he had been separated from him for several years, and people would change.

"If you don't say it, I can guess six or seven points. I'm afraid your plan has something to do with my brother and sister. My brother and sister...... Hmph, she's from the White Lotus Sect, right? Seeing that Yue Xiang was silent, Wang Yining smiled slightly and suddenly said this.

"What? You ......" Yue Xiang was surprised this time. Is Wang Yining cheating him or what? It was the first time he met someone who could see through Xiaowan's identity at a glance.

"There is no denying that I have traveled from south to north for more than ten years, and I have never seen anyone from three religions and nine streams, and I have had doubts in my heart since I first met him a few years ago, and now I am more sure. Her eyes are different from ordinary people's, is she practicing some kind of soul thaumaturgy? It just so happened that I met her in Qinghe again, and I remember that there was a big incident in Qinghe more than ten years ago...... And I have heard a very interesting rumor in Liaodong over the years, which is related to Gao Huai, the former eunuch of Liaodong mining tax......"

Listening to Wang Yining's eloquent conversation, Yue Xiang's expression gradually stiffened, and the smug smile on the corner of Wang Yining's mouth became more and more obvious.

"It all adds up and makes me have a question." Wang Yining stared at Yue Xiang with burning eyes, "What is the purpose of the eunuch temple that you asked me today?" ”……
