Incense Burner Mountain, the cottage where Wang Yining is located.
Yue Xiang and Wang Yining stood on a cliff halfway up the mountain, as if enjoying the scenery. Yue Xiang put his hand on the canopy and touched it around, "Is there a temple or something like this on this mountain?" ”
"What is this for? Do you still want to burn incense and worship the Buddha? ”
"What's the matter, Marlier said yes, what's nonsense."
"There is a temple on this mountain, there was originally a small temple on the back mountainside, and the locals called the temple the eunuch temple. I heard that it was still the great eunuch Gao Huaigai back then, but I don't know if it's true. ”
"Where?"
Wang Yining pointed in one direction and said with confidence: "This is the best angle, wait for a while when the fog clears, you can see it, the mountain scenery here is very beautiful, you can see it by looking at it." Here, as long as you have good eyesight, you can see Sancha'er Fort, you can see Leopard Chong, and you can see the Great Wall. If you are at the top of the mountain, you can even see the ground of the Jianzhou Jurchen outside the Great Wall. ”
Yue Xiang looked in the direction of his finger, where was there anything "inside and outside the Great Wall"? It was still a thick milky white cloud. It's just that this cloud and mist are more persistently shrouded in thousands of mountains and ravines, and more quietly test people's imagination and endurance.
"Why did you end up in the grass here? It doesn't feel like that's your style. I haven't heard from you in the past few years, and I thought you had wandered into the gate. Yue Xiang said jokingly.
"My style? Hmph, my style of doing things is just no style. Do whatever you want, go wherever you want, as long as your heart is cool, I can sleep in a thatched house; If I am not happy, I will not live in the Jinluan Palace. Wang Yining plucked a grass leaf, held it in his mouth, and blew a pleasant and beautiful whistle vigorously.
"Well, you're having a great time here." Yue Xiang smiled.
"For now, sort of, I don't have any plans to leave right now anyway." Wang Yining was still holding the blade of grass in his mouth, "It's you, I heard that you fought with the Jianzhou Jurchens?" ”
Yue Xiang didn't want to hide it from him, and nodded: "How can I say that I am also the identity of the official army, two days ago, a small group of Jurchens pretended to be horse thieves and sneaked into the area of Goat Valley Fort, which happened to let me meet, and the two fought a battle." ”
"Lost?" Wang Yining seemed to hesitate at all, and immediately guessed the answer.
"It's not a loss...... How do you know? ”
"Look at the way you look at your bitter melon face, if you win the war, the news will have spread long ago. Nowadays, the officers and soldiers have repeatedly defeated the Jurchens, and if there are examples of victories, they do not vigorously publicize them to boost morale. Wang Yining spit out the grass leaves in his mouth. How is it? Are those Jurchen barbarians really as rumored, each of them can defeat a hundred? ”
"The Eight Banners of Jianzhou are indeed extremely powerful, the clash of iron horses is like the wind, and there are superb riding and archery skills. Once they get them to rush up, it's really unstoppable. I think that if there is a field battle on the ground in Liaodong today, I am afraid that no one is their opponent. ”
Yue Xiang sighed when he said this: "You know the members of our family, each of them is also a good man. As a result, more than 300 people shot half of their bows and arrows before they could get close, and they didn't even have a chance to show their good martial arts. The other one is almost dead, and the eighteen people you see are the only eighteen remaining members of our family. ”
"So brave?" Wang Yining gasped, he knew the situation of Yue Xiang's family. "Which of the Eight Banners did you encounter, do you know? To bring or not to bring a flag? Could it be that the ordinary pawns in the Eight Banners also have such strength, this is too exaggerated, right? ”
"The armor flag is the most elite white guard with armor in the white flag." Thinking of Huang Taiji, Yue Xiang shuddered a little, and he didn't know what was going on with this guy now. It would be great if he was completely beaten into the cold palace by Nurhachi, and it would be best if Nurhachi's cold-blooded personality attacked, and he cut off his head with a knife.
"The White Protectors of the White Flag! That is Huang Taiji's subordinates, and the tenacity of Huang Taiji's armored guards is one of the best among the Eight Banners, probably except for the Red Protectors under the command of Nurhachi. ”
"Red Protector...... Wait, how do you know so clearly? ”
Yue Xiang replied casually and then suddenly came back to his senses, generally speaking, the information between the two armies is not a specific person who will not care. It is not strange for Yue Xiang to know this as a cadre in the official army, but as a bandit, it is unlikely that he will deliberately collect this information, and they should be more concerned about when the officers and soldiers will attack or when and where a fat sheep will appear.
The clouds were blowing, and the peaks were revealing again. The clouds and mist rolled, and soon, the mountain peaks were obscured again. The momentum is shocking, in this scene of clouds and mist, the strange peaks and strange stones of the incense burner mountain appear and disappear from time to time, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, sometimes far and near, like a mirage, the more you want to see the real, the more you can't see it.
"You guys know weirdly! Are you really here to be a hero in the green forest? Yue Xiang's eyes flashed with suspicion, "Why are you, a carefree scattered immortal, so familiar with the information of the Jurchens?" Don't tell me it's from a kid on the side of the road. ”
"Hey, what about you? Why are you here? Don't tell me that you really escorted your daughter-in-law to a relative's house. If that's the case, why don't you take the safe road, and the lady doesn't even have a carriage to go out, what are you in such a hurry, sneaky hurry? You can't be for your daughter-in-law, you didn't take her seriously before. ”
"Hmph, you're pretty good at figuring it out. As you say, how do you know my style? I'm just taking my daughter-in-law as a baby again, can't I? I can't rest assured that she stays in Qinghe. ”
"No, are you hiding from someone? Could it be...... Huang Taiji!? Saying that, Wang Yining was actually excited.
"Fuck, I'm fucking happy with Huang Taiji! Hoping I die soon, don't you? Yue Xiang didn't want to hide it from Wang Yining, plus Wang Yining's intelligence was there, he could guess it by him if he said a few words, and he didn't think that he could hide it.
"You really fought with Huang Taiji?"
"I also found out later that they were pretending to be horse thieves." Yue Xiang said half-truths, thinking that anyway, the news didn't spread, if he got to the bottom of it, he would simply deduce that it would not be clear.
"Strange thing, the identity of the flag master of Huang Taiji, why do you hide your head and tail like this? And you guy is also very strange, if it is really a family to escape the disaster, why don't you bring your parents and relatives with you, why did you only bring your daughter-in-law alone? If there are other plans, why do you want to take a woman in the way like this? Wang Yining muttered to himself, but his eyes were like a cunning fox constantly staring at Yue Xiang.
Yue Xiang felt sweat on his head and hurriedly changed the topic.
"What about you? I also don't believe that the small temple of Incense Burner Mountain is dedicated to your big Buddha. With your character, how can you be in the company of these coarse people who don't know big words? Do they really have to talk to you? "Things gather like and people are divided into groups, and it is quite difficult for people to get along without a common language. Not to mention Wang Yining, a cynical dung green.
“…… Yang Shan saved my life, so I promised him to join the gang in the mountain for a year. Wang Yining saw that Yue Xiang was reluctant to answer, and he didn't ask the bottom line, but his reason didn't seem to be true.
"Oh...... I see...... "Yue Xiang thought to himself that he really didn't know how to speak in front of this guy, even if he went around in circles, he was afraid that he would see the flaws. But at least for Yang Shan's gang, Wang Yining is still credible, and he can only seek his help here.
He had no choice but to turn his gaze back to the surrounding clouds and mountains and fog mountains, and the vast fog did not know when it would dissipate.
When you look closely, the view of the clouds and mist in this mountain is truly wonderful. The clouds and mist are like the sea, and when they appear, they seem to be surging white waves, submerging deep valleys and ravines, only revealing the peaks, like dangerous islands sinking and floating in the sea; In an instant, the waves swelled, the waves splashed, and the waves crashed on the shore; The drifting of the white clouds and mist makes the incense burner mountain present the beauty of stillness and movement. The combination of movement and stillness creates an unpredictable and unpredictable fairyland on earth.
"When will this fog disperse?" The atmosphere between the two was a little delicate, and Yue Xiang turned the topic back to the beginning.
Wang Yining said lightly: "Don't worry, wait patiently." ”
After more than ten minutes, the dense fog became transparent. A gust of wind blew, and the translucent clouds swept away, revealing the green peaks. "It's out! It's out! Yue Xiang exclaimed excitedly. Suddenly, another cloud drifted in, instantly obscuring the mountain, as if in a dream, nothing had happened.
Immersed in this realm of immortals and non-immortals, dreams and dreams, I don't know what words to use to express my feelings at this moment. When the fog finally cleared, Yue Xiang gathered his eyes and looked in the direction of Wang Yining's finger, and sure enough, he saw that there seemed to be a small temple standing in the shade of the green trees halfway up the mountainside.
Sure enough, there it is! Yue Xiang's heart suddenly forgot the unhappiness just now, and his excited heart was pounding. This is how many people dream of Gaohuai Tibetan gold! Right here! Got it! I did it! His eyes were completely attracted by the small temple, and he couldn't wait to fly over and dig three feet into the ground to dig for treasures. didn't notice that Wang Yining, who was standing next to him, looked in other directions, and the expression on his face seemed to be as violent as if he had seen something terrible.
"Wait a minute, what's that?" Waiting for Wang Yining to hold Yue Xiang's arm, Yue Xiang came back to his senses.
At this time, the scenery has become completely clear, and in the distance, the mountains, plains, and rivers on the land can be seen quite clearly. When Yue Xiang saw the direction of Wang Yining's finger, he trembled like a lightning strike, and stood there stupidly and couldn't move.
I saw that the Sancha'er Fort not far away seemed to be buried and surrounded by a large black and oppressive ant colony, and a large stream of black smoke was rising from the fort, Yue Xiang had been a soldier for two days, and immediately recognized that it was wolf smoke for help!
And somewhere on the Great Wall farther away, connected to the castle, like a permeable embankment, a terrible torrent of terrible masses was infiltrating on a large scale, converging into an even larger camp on the inner side of the Great Wall.
"That's ...... How is that possible!? The two looked at each other, and at the same time saw fear in each other's eyes.
Nurhachi is on the offensive again......
