Chapter 9: Ghost Town
"By the way, the people below reported that another group of Turks were captured and killed by Yuan Hui in that Juyongguan Town!" Yu Feng mentioned the news from Juyong Pass.
"Huh? Juyong Guan ......" Li Qingxia frowned and sneered twice: "It seems that our allies still don't trust us, and the third time is not a long lesson." Youzhou is our territory, they can't pass the Yuanhui pass, if even we can't solve Li Er, can they do it? ”
"But this Yuan Hui ...... The layout has been in place for so long, and Juyongguan has not been controlled in his hands? Li Qingxia's tone was a little stern.
Yu Feng answered at this time: "There is also a mention of the state city, this person went to the state government to make trouble during the day, Fang and Wu said that this person is abnormal, and he can't win over him several times, and he is afraid that it will become a disaster." I want to get rid of it, but I have concerns about the identity of the prince of Ying, so I ask the master to decide! ”
"Hmph...... A second-class king, who relies on flattery, why should he be afraid? If I succeed, I will definitely get rid of all the thieves like the Yuan family! ”
"Fang and Wu's words are also reasonable, the position of Juyongguan is important, if it has been controlled by Yuan Hui, it may have an adverse impact on major events!" Yu Fengyu revealed murderous intent: "This person only has more than ten horses, and he is still in Jixian County, do you want your subordinates to take someone to ambush him on his way back, and completely solve this hidden danger!" ”
Li Qingxia shook her head when she heard this: "If we capture Youzhou, together with Turkic foreign aid, attack inside and outside, a Juyong Pass is nothing!" Di Renjie has already arrived in Youzhou, we must try to minimize our actions and avoid extraneous branches! ”
"Besides, if you really want to kill him, maybe you don't need to do it!" Li Qingxia meant something, and said lightly: "The most important thing now is to kill Li Er and contact all places to echo the incident!" Other details, nothing to say! ”
"Yes!"
"The messengers have already been scattered, and I believe that news will come soon!" Yu Feng said in a deep voice: "However, with the assembly of the brigade, there is not enough food. There is not enough iron ore, there is a shortage of blacksmiths, there is not enough hard labor, and even if you work day and night, the weapons you build are not enough. ”
"It's good that you can think of that!" Li Qingxia still had that confident look on her face: "As long as it goes according to the plan, you will take Youzhou, and there will be food and ordnance in the treasury of the state capital!" ”
Yu Feng went respectfully, the cave was quiet again, Li Qingxia's face changed very obviously, she was not as calm and calm as Fang Cai in front of the wind.
For her, it was an imminent move, but it was an accident. It's just that "Li Er" escaped, Youzhou is under her surveillance, and she can always find out and kill her. But Di Renjie's arrival made her panic inexplicably, and the previous game had proved that this old man was really difficult.
She was not deceived by the appearance of Ganliang, and pointed directly at Youzhou, which could not help but make her frightened.
"Delay a little longer, it's almost ...... Soon! Sitting down, Li Qingxia muttered to herself, her beautiful face regained her composure, and there was a frenzy in her eyes.
I took out two drawings and put them on the table, and looked at them carefully. One is the city defense of Jixian County, the state city; One is the layout of the rooms, gardens and office institutions of the Assassin's Mansion.
In the cave, the coolies were still being forced to work, and the sound of weapons forging was still faintly heard through the heavy stone doors. These noises sounded in Li Qingxia's ears, but this mood was much happier.
The rooster crowed, the sky was polished, the silence of the state city was slowly broken by the sound of people and animals, and the city guards in all directions yawned and changed shifts, opening the heavy city gates. Waiting for the common people early, under the scolding of the soldiers, they honestly lined up, waiting for the check-in and exit of the city.
Di Renjie and the three of them got up early, left a string of copper plates to compensate for the damaged windows, and went out of the city in a low-key manner, looking for the riotous "Big Willow Village".
By the time dawn, the three of them had already gone down the official road and into the countryside.
Today's weather, obviously, is not good, gloomy clouds, and the situation in Youzhou is very contrasting. Di Renjie is a lot older, but his legs are very neat, and he is actually happy to walk on the difficult dirt road.
Standing on a mountain beam, holding the old waist and looking left and right, the scenery of the countryside is pleasant.
"My lord, thirty miles to the north, there is Daliushu Village!" Li Yuanfang stepped forward and pointed to the north: "The mountain road is difficult, why don't you rest for a while?" ”
"My lord, if you want to visit the people, let me go with Yuan Fang. Why bother you to go to this country. If something happens, it will be difficult for the general to explain to the emperor! Hu Jinghui persuaded on the side.
Hearing this, Di Renjie looked far away: "If you want to know what Youzhou is governed by that Fang Qian, you have to look at what kind of life the people below live." The riot of the villagers of the big willow tree is by no means simple. ”
"I know what you're trying to say, don't think we're not doing our job, this trip may have unexpected gains. The mission case started from Youzhou, and in order to find out the situation in Youzhou, it began to investigate the villagers' riots. A group of villagers, storming the city, and robbing prisoners, there is obviously a problem in this! Di Renjie explained lightly.
Raising his eyes and looking at the clouds in the sky, Di Renjie stopped Hu Jinghui, who was still about to speak: "The weather is not good, let's hurry up and hurry up and strive to arrive at Daliushu Village in the afternoon!" ”
"Yes!" Di Chubby set the tone, and Hu Jinghui didn't dare to say more, glanced at Li Yuanfang, and hurriedly followed.
As if unintentionally, he looked at the barren mountain in the northeast, buried his head, and the killing intent in his eyes surged, and Li Er hid in it. If he wants to make a move, he has to get rid of Di and Li.
Compared with Lord Di's diligence, Yuan Hui did not take people north to Juyong Pass until late afternoon. Compared with the galloping horses of the southern Laizhou City, the speed of returning to the north slowed down and was not in a hurry at all.
The cloudy weather was not very good, and after walking for dozens of miles, the sky had completely darkened when it came to Changping. The strong wind swept, the blades of grass were flying, and the situation before the rainstorm made people's mood depressed a lot.
"Looks like it's going to rain!" With his face as usual, he looked in the direction of Changping County, and Yuan Hui waved his hand to the left and right: "Stay in Changping tonight to avoid the rain!" ”
After saying that, he urged the war horse and turned to Changping.
In the evening, when the twilight was dull, he changed his costume and quietly came out to avoid the eyes and ears of others. Together with Yun Gu, the horse turned into the mountain trail and headed west into the mountain.
"Young master!" In the uninhabited place, Xiangjun came out on horseback with a few people.
Yuan Hui nodded: "Let's go!" ”
The town standing on the grave hill is surprisingly quiet, eerie and terrifying, and the bad weather is really heart-wrenching. Probably because of the effect of the heart, the cold chill gradually spread all over the body.
"Is this it?" Outside the town, looking at the "Yaojiapu" with "ghosts and ghosts", Yuan Hui asked Xiangjundao.
"According to the map and the other party's guidance, it should be here?" Xiangjun couldn't help muttering in his heart, this place is a little weird, at least it looks like this. In the dark town, there are little phosphorus fires flickering.
Yuan Hui smiled coldly: "It seems that the sincerity of the other party is not high, there are guests, but they don't welcome each other!" ”
"Senior brother!" Yun Gu was beside Yuan Hui and snorted, her expression was full of nervousness, after all, she was a woman, and she didn't like this kind of "netherworld" place after all.
Between its openings, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared from the top of the distant mountain, and a moment of light revealed Yun Gu's pale face. Immediately followed by a shocking thunder, except for Yuan Hui, several people, including Xiang Jun, couldn't help but shiver.
The surrounding environment is indeed reminiscent of "demons and monsters", which breeds fear. Even the killers of the Iron Hand Regiment who are accustomed to seeing life and death and have their hands stained with human lives, they can't help but be terrified when they see this scene. Not everyone has the confidence of Yuan Hui.
"What the hell does the other party mean, choose such a ghost place!" The subordinates of the Iron Hand Regiment around him all had chestnut faces, and Xiangjun scolded secretly.
"It's going to rain!" Looking up at the sky, Yuan Hui smiled faintly, took off the hat from the horse, and put it on.
"Let's go into town!" Ordered indifferently.
