"Tinghou, now that you have entered the land of Nanzhong, it is not safe for Madame to go back, so it is better to let Madame accompany you." Ma Liang smiled and persuaded.

"Well, it's not safe, I'm a little worried about those robbers." Liu Yi agrees with this sentence, of course, he can only complain in his heart, in front of outsiders, his wife's face must be protected.

"Who will take care of Ming'er and Cheng'er?" Liu Yi sent everyone away, took Lu Lingqi into the carriage, and asked.

"Don't worry, husband, I have asked Xiaohuan to send them to Mr. Kong Ming to live temporarily, Ming'er, this child is too smart, husband doesn't often say that she should find someone to frustrate her spirit, I think Mr. Kong Ming is good." Lu Lingqi smiled.

"Wait for me to write a letter." Liu Yi sighed, he didn't say it in advance, so he sent the child over so rashly, which was not polite, and it was not a way to do things.

"I've already told Mrs. Zhuge about this." Lu Lingqi smiled.

Liu Yi: "......"

"I'm still going to write a letter." finally sighed, it seems that this mother-in-law is playing with herself.

took out a few accessories from his arms and handed them to Lu Lingqi.

"Husband, what do you mean by this? The accessories on the concubine's body are enough. Lu Lingqi looked at the accessories handed by Liu Yi suspiciously.

"In this southern and central land, miasma is rampant, bring these, but you will not invade with poison." Liu Yi put the ear mouse pendant on Lu Lingqi, and said in a deep voice: "Later, I will help you make an inner armor to wear on your body, and you don't have to wear armor on weekdays." ”

"Husband can't trust me?" Lu Lingqi raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Yi.

"Naturally not, how can a husband not know about his wife's ability?" Liu Yi shook his head and smiled: "But it is precisely because of this that Mrs. must not act lightly, with Mrs. by her side, it is safer to be a husband, and secondly, it is also used as a hole card." ”

"Hole cards?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi curiously.

"The Art of War: If you can't, you can't, if Liu Yi nodded, although he didn't think about bringing his wife with him, but now that he is here, it can also be a powerful hole card.

Lu Lingqi is also a person who knows soldiers, she has been by Liu Yi's side all these years, Liu Yi has written books, she has read through the art of war, and naturally has experience in the way of using soldiers.

Of course, there is also the mind that I don't want my wife to go to the battlefield, after all, the soldiers are dangerous, there are too many uncertain factors, and even if this is Nanzhong, if you let your woman lead the troops, it is inevitable that the soldiers will not be convinced, and it is better to stay by your side.

After entering the land of Nanzhong, the road began to become more difficult to walk, and the troops of thousands of people gradually pulled into a line.

After all, there are only 300 soldiers who can really get their hands on it, Liu Yi did not let Liu Sandao and Chen Ergou, who were handy, go to open the way, but let Guan Xing and Zhang Bao take a hundred people to take the lead in the front, Zhao Guang is in the rear, Wei Yue and others are in the middle, after all, they promised to train these bear children, naturally they can't be offered like babies, you can try to let them do some simple marching tasks to familiarize themselves with military affairs, even if there is a mistake, Wei Yue, these experienced veterans are guarding here, and they can also correct their mistakes in time.

The imprints of thousands of people mixed with the carriages and horses were clearly imprinted on this mountain road, the mountain breeze was slightly cool, but it was not cold, Guan Xing on horseback suddenly turned around and looked towards the mountains and forests next to the road.

"What?" Zhang Bao asked Guan Xing suspiciously.

"We always feel like someone is watching us." Guan Xing frowned.

"There are more people watching us." Zhang Bao looked around when he heard this, but he didn't notice anything abnormal, except for them, he couldn't feel the slightest breath of people in the valley.

"Perhaps." Guan Xing nodded, continued to move forward, and sent two more scouts to the top of the mountain to report back regularly.

It wasn't until the team slowly passed by that two figures popped out of the shadows of the woods in the mountains, looked in the direction the troops had left, and then quickly disappeared.

After walking for more than ten miles, feeling that he was getting more and more deviated, Guan Xing unfolded the map, carefully compared, and suddenly pointed to the mountains in the distance and looked at the guide beside him: "What is the name of this mountain?" ”

"General Hui, this mountain is called Yangshan, and it is named after Yangguanshui." The guide looked a little unnatural.

"Yang Guanshui?" Guan Xing repeated, looked at the map again, and his face became gloomy: "Why don't you go to Lushui?" ”

Lushui, also known as the Lujiang River, is a waterway that runs through almost the entire Nanzhong land, and flows into the Yangtze River, but there is a miasma on the water in the morning and evening, so it is impossible to take the waterway.

"It's closer." The guide didn't dare to look at Guan Xing's eyes.

"Sneaky, take it for me!" Zhang Bao snorted coldly, Liu Yi had already explained before, they must not leave the road, after all, they are not familiar with the terrain of Nanzhong, even if they have a map, it is easy to deviate, if they accidentally break into the miasma of the mountains and forests, it will be worth the loss.

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward, and the guide wanted to resist, but where was the opponent of these wolf-like soldiers, he was instantly pressed to the ground and could not move.

"What now? If you go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to the road today! Zhang Bao looked at Guan Xing.

"Please, the Pavilion Marquis." Guan Xing shook his head, what good way could he do? There is obviously a problem with this guide, but how to deal with it, Guan Xing doesn't know for a while, without the guide, their next road will be difficult.

Guan Xing asked the vanguard to stop waiting, rode his horse to find Liu Yi, and told the matter again.

"How much is it off?" Liu Yi frowned and said, in this southern and central place, the big roads and small roads are not clear, and there are many forks, and there is no one who knows the way, so it is really difficult to walk.

"This ......" Guan Xing took out the map and gestured: "The mountain in front is called Yangshan, it is the area of Yangguanshui, and it is ...... from a distance."

"About twenty miles." Liu Yi took the map and compared the directions, now he is not the ignorant young man who can deviate from the map, and so many years of experience in making sand tables makes him quite sensitive to distance, and he can basically calculate the approximate distance by visual inspection, but the map is too sketchy, if there is a detailed map, there is no need to be so troublesome.

"Even if you go back now, you won't be able to go back today, so find a place to camp, and leave again tomorrow, and call the guide."

"Whoa!" Guan Xing agreed, and ordered someone to call the guide, and he and Zhang Bao went to find a suitable place to camp, because he was worried about being harmed by the miasma, so Liu Yi had high requirements for the camp, and he had to bring people to build it, and the other place should not only be smooth, but also need to be tidy, marching for half a day every day, and the remaining half a day was basically used to camp, and the camp set up every day would not be demolished, after all, the place built by Liu Yi can be regarded as a treasure of feng shui, which can be regarded as a treasure land of feng shui for pedestrians to live in the future or can be directly developed into a village or something like that in the future.

Looking at the middle-aged barbarian in front of him, Liu Yi jumped down from the carriage without too much unhappiness, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "I have never asked, what is your name?" ”

"Ahi!" Perhaps infected by Liu Yi's smile, Ah Hei bowed his head and said.

"Do we have a grudge?" Liu Yi asked.

"No, it's the first time I've met Tinghou." Hei shook his head and said.

"Then why are you hurting me?" Liu Yi sat down and asked.

"No, I'm just looking for a shortcut." Naturally, Hei won't admit it.

"The wages I give you are paid on a daily basis, which means that the longer you walk, the more you will be paid." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Don't tell me, you don't like money, take us short, are you stupid or think I'm stupid?" ”

Hei lowered his head and stopped talking.

"There are many things that can make people crazy, money, family, love, they are all very beautiful things." Liu Yi played with the carving knife in his hand and said: "So if you can change your original intention and do not hesitate to risk to harm me, there should be no of these three, which one is it?" ”

Ah Hei glanced up at Liu Yi, and quickly lowered his head, but it was only the surprise contained in that glance, which had already revealed a lot of information.

"You were selected by me temporarily, and it is impossible for the people in Nanzhong to know, so the person behind it should be Qianwei County, or rather, the Qianwei County people who colluded with Nanzhong, whose status is not low, or it is Taishou himself." Liu Yi continued to speculate.

Ah Hei lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Yi again, this Han man was so terrible, he obviously didn't say anything, but he seemed to have seen it with his own eyes.

"You don't know too much, and I don't intend to pursue it, if it's a matter of money, you continue to lead the way, they promise you, I can give you double, Liu Yi's reputation, you should have heard of it, I won't lie to you." Liu Yi looked at Ah Hei seriously.

Hei lowered his head and didn't speak.

"Isn't it?" Liu Yi frowned slightly: "Family affection is fire love, at your age, there is only family affection left." ”

Ah Hei raised his head and looked at Liu Yi: "Tinghou, I ......"

"It's a little tricky!" Liu Yi pinched his eyebrows: "If they use this to threaten you, even if I want to help you, I'm afraid it's too late at the moment, but do you want to hear my analysis?" ”

Ah Hei didn't dare to speak, he felt like he was undressed in front of Liu Yi, although he was a man.

Liu Yi said to himself: "I am an important minister under the command of the King of Hanzhong, you should know this, if I have an accident, the people behind it will not let you go, including your family, if I am not dead, then in order to avoid my future investigation, they will also not let you go, including your relatives." ”

Ah Hei suddenly raised his head, and the whites of his eyes began to glow with blood.

"Don't look at me like that, this analysis is very reasonable, I know their methods better than you." Liu Yi smiled.

"Why me!?" Ah Hei looked at Liu Yi with red eyes, if Liu Yi hadn't chosen him, there would have been no such things.

"Fate, you look more loyal, and middle-aged people are usually more stable." Liu Yi groped his chin and said: "Now, I have a suggestion, I can order someone to go back, notify my people to investigate secretly, and wait for the opportunity to rescue your family, of course, it may not be able to be rescued, but at least, you can live, provided that you are willing to continue to be this guide and take us to Zhuti, of course, you can also bet, will they let you and your family go after you kill me?" ”
