Five days later, in the early morning, with Yang Congyi's order, the first team with Luo Cong as the chief general and Zhou Ping as the deputy general set off from the camp and headed for the mountains to the east.

At noon, with another order, the second team then entered the mountain to pursue the front army, the main general Su Zhong and the deputy general Zhang Fu.

Yang Congyi and Shen Jin, as judges, accompanied them into the mountain, cleaning the dust and carrying swords to protect them.

In the afternoon of the same day, Su Zhongying inquired all the way, explored the direction of the front army, chased for more than 30 miles, and did not see the trace of Luo Cong's camp.

Yang Congyi and Shen Jin, as actual combat observers, camped on a high ground half a mile away from Su Zhongying under the protection of Qingchen to rest.

They ate dry food, drank cold water, and looked at the smoke not far away.

"Brother Shen, who do you think Su Zhong or Luo Cong will win and who will lose?" Yang Congyi suddenly asked.

Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "From what I can see, it will be difficult for Su Zhong to survive tonight. ”

Yang Congyi turned his head and smiled: "Oh, why? I want to hear and see. ”

Shen Jin's face turned red, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Don't be sarcastic about me, my lord, I don't have any high opinions, it's just speculation based on common sense." ”

"Let's talk about it, if it's the same as I thought." Yang Congyi said with a smile.

Shen Jin pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Luo Cong's camp has been following his marching route for half a day, and after Su Zhong entered the mountain, he has been following his marching route, judging from the marching news that the two sides have mastered each other, Su Zhong's every move must be under Luo Cong's surveillance, but Su Zhong may not be able to get accurate information from Luo Cong's camp. Luo Cong went first for a long time, he could calmly arrange an ambush trap, if he expected that Su Zhong would camp here tonight, he would probably ambush on this mountain, even if he didn't expect it, with their familiarity with this road into the mountain, it would not be difficult to come back at night to sneak attack, Luo Cong would not let go of this good opportunity, as far as I can see, the victory or defeat is tonight, and the defeated side must be Su Zhong. ”

Yang Congyi nodded and said: "Brother Shen is reasonable, if Luo Cong has the intention to fight here, Su Zhong will indeed be defeated, the opponent is in front, but he is camped at the foot of the mountain, the two armies are fighting, the other party is going down, the momentum is like a bamboo, he can only turn around and run away, if it is a sudden attack in the middle of the night, Su Zhong has nowhere to escape, I am afraid that he will not even find his way back." ”

Shen Jin saw that Yang Congyi's judgment was the same as his, and he was overjoyed, and immediately replied: "That's true." ”

However, Yang Congyi then said: "If Luo Cong didn't seize this opportunity, and when Su Zhong crossed this mountain tomorrow, I am afraid that the situation will be reversed again, Luo Cong will not dare to fight, he will run forward desperately, looking for favorable terrain, and use the advantages of terrain to fight with Su Zhong, exploring the road ahead, looking for terrain, it will take a lot of energy and time, and Su Zhong will bury his head in the road, and chase all the way along Luo Cong's marching route, the distance between the two armies will be shortened quickly, and then it should be Luo Cong who is in a hurry, one runs, one chases, The morale of the two armies was strong and weak, and the victory or defeat was self-evident. Therefore, if Su Zhong is okay tonight, he will cross this mountain tomorrow, and the victory on the battlefield will be his. ”

Shen Jin thought about it carefully, raised his hand and said: "It's still a thoughtful adult, I only saw Su Zhong's defeat, but I didn't see Su Zhongsheng, admire and admire!" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Where, I didn't think about it so much, it's because you don't know enough about them, and when you really get along with them long enough, understand their style of behavior, and see their good and bad personalities, you can make reasonable judgments." ”

Shen Jin nodded and said: "What my lord said is that although I have known them for three years, I really don't have much time to get along with them, so I will definitely take more in the future and get to know them better." ”

"Let's sit and see if tonight is a lively night, or be quiet and nothing happens."

Yang Congyi said a word, and the three of them raised their eyes under the tree to look at the clouds and smoke, and sat back to watch the victory or defeat of both sides.

In the mountains, the sky quickly darkened, and a little fire could still be seen in Su Zhong's camp not far away, which was unusually bright at night.

The two small tents were spread out under the trees, and the dust was sprinkled with insect repellent powder a foot away, and they were going to sleep in the mountains tonight, and the last time they slept in the mountains was three years ago.

In the dark night, Yang Congyi and Shen Jin chatted about "Mengxi Writings" under the tree, reminiscing about the things in the West and the West, and talking about the various skills seen in overseas countries, Yang Congyi hinted that Shen Jin still studied and applied technology more.

But the other party's mind is now in the army, and the technical research has long been put aside, and he is bent on being like Ban Dingyuan, throwing his pen into the army, serving the country, fighting on the battlefield, and building immortal achievements.

Seeing that Shen Jin has no intention of technical research at the moment, Yang Congyi will no longer force it, and he will have an opportunity in the future, and then guide it slowly, after all, fighting a war also requires technology, and the major workshops of the Ordnance Supervision are not skilled craftsmen, as long as the time is right, he will definitely be interested in technical research again.

After walking with the army for a long time, Shen Jin was already tired, and in less than two days, he went back to the tent to rest.

Yang Congyi couldn't sleep, and sat alone under the tree, looking at the bright moon and stars in the mountains.

Not long after, Qingchen came out of the tent next to him and stood against a tree.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes outside, so let's go and rest." Yang Congyi raised his head and said softly.

Qingchen didn't reply, and after a while, he sat down on the stone next to Yang Congyi.

"What do you think this place looks like?" Qingchen looked at the sky and asked softly.

Yang Cong Yiqi said: "This is Yiwu, where else can it be like." ”

Qingchen was silent, and only said after a while: "This is not like Tianzhu Mountain, you were cut on the back by a thief, and you were looking at the moon in the forest on the night when you wrote a poem?" ”

As soon as Yang Congyi was reminded, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately smiled: "It's really like that place." Then he sighed: "Time flies so fast, five years have passed in a blink of an eye." ”

"yes, five years. Do you remember the poem you wrote? Qingchen suddenly asked.

"Where do I remember this, I said it casually five years ago, and I forgot it a long time ago." Yang Congyi shook his head and smiled.

As soon as the words fell, he heard Qingchen groaning:

The moon hangs in the sky, and the young man lies under the forest.

That year changed, and I dreamed back to the past.

Providence is so tricky, in the mountains and forests.

After learning half a trick, Fang left Dabie Mountain.

The road is uneven, and Taihu County is wronged.

Qingtian saved his life, and he will not be idle from now on.

In order to reward the kindness of the acquaintance, rush to the mountains and rivers.

There are no trivial things at every turn, who knows the hardships and dangers.

It has only been two months, and he has entered Tianzhu Mountain.

Panlong soup soup, the mountain is busy for snakes.

Running all night in the mountains, looking for a place to hide.

The snake venom could not be removed, and suddenly a dream was long.

Suddenly, I heard that there was a long way, as if it had fallen from the sky.

Dan's heart is skillful, and he has been healthy in a moment.

The Taoist is like a god, drawing his sword and retreating from the snakes.

I don't know the geography of the sky, and I know the lesson of the ten palms.

The chief went to fetch water, but the stone cliff trapped the road.

The slender hand divides the mountain stone, and the stone cave is present in the stone.

There is the sound of water in the dripping, and there are wooden barrels by the pool.

Da En did not say thank you, waved his hand and parted.

I hope that Hongchen will see it, so that I can return the kindness.

See you again in a blink of an eye, still in the mountains and rivers.

Now that he has another life, how can he return it in this life.

Take care of your health, say goodbye and go down the mountain.

I want to go to the incense burner, and the Taoist chief is with me.

How bumpy it is to go, and the end of the world is unknown.

The bright moon is with you, who will accompany you on the road ahead?

Qingchen slowly finished reading, Yang Congyi was shocked, he had long forgotten it, but she still remembered that the scenes in the mountains suddenly appeared in front of her.

"After all these years, how can you still remember?"

Qingchen turned his head and replied: "It's not that I still remember, I've never forgotten it." ”

Yang Congyi's heart warmed, and he quietly reached out to hold Qingchen's hand, in terms of feelings, he was far less affectionate than the other party, and he couldn't compare to it all the time, he didn't know what to say at this time, Qingchen kept him in mind at that time, and he really put her in his heart not long ago, when he returned to Lin'an, he felt that he owed too much to this hard-working woman.

There was silence in the forest under the moon, and the two held hands, sharing the warmth and tranquility at this time.

I don't know how long it took, Qingchen suddenly said: "There is light on the mountain." ”

Yang Congyi looked in the direction she was looking, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a flash of red light, and then disappeared in the forest.

"Luo Cong is here?" Yang Congyi asked lightly.

"In the middle of the night, the fire is lit and extinguished, and there shouldn't be anyone else but them." Qingchen wanted to find some more fire and evidence, but found that the fire was completely gone.

Yang Congyi nodded and said, "Then it should be them, Luo Cong really didn't give up this opportunity." ”

"It's Su Zhong who is too careless."

Shen Jin's voice came from behind.

"Brother Shen didn't sleep?" Yang Congyi was slightly startled, and immediately asked, "Did we disturb Brother Shen's rest?" ”

Shen Jin took a few steps forward, moved his arms and waist a few times, and said with a smile: "No, no, I ran for a long time on the mountain road, my whole body was sore, and I couldn't sleep at all." ”

Then he immediately said: "Little brother, I have no intention of eavesdropping on the past between adults and sisters-in-law, it's really quiet, I'm sorry." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it was a past when we were in Tianzhu Mountain, and it's been a long time." ”

I only heard Shen Jin reply with envy: "The adult and his sister-in-law have known each other for a long time, but their relationship is new over time, which is really envious." ”

Qingchen had already quietly withdrawn her hand and looked at the distant mountains silently, as if what they said had nothing to do with her.

Yang Congyi said: "I don't know if Brother Shen is already married?" ”

Shen Jin scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "The younger brother has been married for many years, and his sons are four or five years old." ”

Yang Cong Yiqi said: "Four or five years old? Brother Shen doesn't know how old Ling Lang is? ”

Shen Jin smiled very embarrassedly: "Not long after the younger brother got married, he came to Lin'an to study, and he hasn't been back for many years. ”

As soon as Yang Congyi heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "Brother Shen, it's not me talking about you, your home is not far from Lin'an, and it is a bit too much to not go back to see it for so many years." When the election is done, I have to go back and see what I say. ”

"Yes, as soon as I have time, my little brother will definitely go back and have a look." Shen Jin humbly accepted the training, and the warm words of Yang Congyi and Qingchen Fangcai also touched the past that he did not want to touch in his heart on this silent night, and the past should be relieved.
