Chapter Forty-Nine: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

After comfortably sending Gao Yingshu back to the Shu Palace, he rode out of the city and rushed to the camp. When he came to the front of the camp, he saw a familiar back,

"Like the moon!"

Counting the time, Jiang Ruyue had already participated in the township test yesterday, and eighty percent came to Songling Village last night to find herself, but she just went to Chengdu.

The back figure turned around in response, saw the comfort of the horse, and said happily: "Brother An, you are back, you have eaten this meal all night." ”

An Yi hurriedly waved his hand at him with a wry smile, turned over and dismounted, and told Jiang Ruyue what happened last night in detail.

After hearing this, Jiang Ruyue said thoughtfully: "It seems that this Wugu Sect has great magical powers, maybe this Wugu Sect's Wugu God really has someone, and it is in the court." ”

An Yi nodded in agreement, but now the most he came into contact with was a Taoist leader of the Five Grains Sect, and it was unknown where the rest of the sect members were hiding.

"Brother An, you came just in time, last night, I received an order from the Chengdu Garrison Bureau, indicating that you need to open it in person, and we haven't opened it yet."

With that, Jiang Ruyue walked to a wooden house in the back camp with comfort. This room was specially vacated for him to live in after An Xin learned that Jiang Ruyue had moved to the barracks, although it was not as bright as the big courtyard of the old mansion, but after all, it was in the barracks, Jiang Ruyue was a big man, and he didn't have too many requirements for a place to live, just simple and comfortable.

Pushing the door in, Jiang Ruyue walked to a dilapidated bookshelf and rummaged through the letter.

An Yi looked at Jiang Ruyue's back, and suddenly remembered a person, so he asked, "Brother Jiang, what about the candidate who was rescued by us outside the Gongyuan before?" Called......"

For a while, An Yi couldn't remember his name.

"You mean Zheng Juzhang, right?" Jiang Ruyue turned her face and asked An Yi while flipping,

"That's right! Didn't he come back with you? ”

Jiang Ruyue shook her head, "No, he said that he still has an old mother to take care of at home, and then we parted ways when we got out of the examination room." ”

An Yi nodded, remembering that it seemed that Zheng Juzhang said that he was from a foreign country, so it was reasonable to return to his hometown after the exam and wait for the list to be released, so he didn't think about him.

"Here."

Jiang Ruyue took out a brand-new letter with gold silk trim on a red background from under a pile of thick scrolls, and inserted a small wooden sign next to it, on which was written the word "order" in black lacquer, which was the order letter used when the army was to be mobilized.

An Yi took the order letter, opened it and looked at it carefully, and then handed the order letter to Jiang Ruyue and said, "Brother Jiang, take a look, I don't know which one this garrison office is playing." ”

Jiang Ruyue took the letter, frowned, frowned, raised his head and asked An Yi, "Has Xia Ang contacted you before?" Why did you suddenly order you to be transferred to Shuangliu Village tonight to help prevent bandits? ”

An Yi shook his head, "The garrison office has never been in since I went to collect the food and salary for the first time, and this is the first time that a letter of order has been sent to me. He waved the order letter in his hand to Jiang Ruyue,

"I remember the last time there was a bandit in Jiangning Village, right? Then I heard that Xia Ang also showed the head of the bandit to the public, why did he go to Shuangliu Village to assist in the defense? Could it be that the imperial court received the news, where is the next target of the bandits? Jiang Ruyue muttered to herself with some doubts,

As soon as he said this, he reminded An Yi of comfort, and said to Jiang Ruyue: "As Sun Hu told me last time, our side belongs to the jurisdiction of a Taoist chief named Jingyun of the Wugu Sect, among which there are three villages that have not paid their daily rations, Songling Village is one of them, and the remaining two are Jiangning Village, which has just suffered from banditry, and Shuangliu Village mentioned in this letter. ”

Jiang Ruyue heard An Yi say this, and said a little suddenly: "Then according to Brother An's statement, if the Wugu Sect really harasses the villages that have not paid the regular grain in the form of bandits, then if I am the leader of the bandits, the next target will be Shuangliu Village." After all, Songling Village has your group training envoy here, who will come back to touch this frieze? ”

An Yi thought about it for a while, and said as if unintentionally: "So....... Fake the hands of others to lure me away? ”

After he said this, he felt startled, not to mention Jiang Ruyue next to him.

He then muttered: "I think there are two possibilities, the first is that the garrison office has received an inside message, and the Wugu Sect may have to toss around in Shuangliu Village tonight, so he mentioned transferring me over; The second is that there are people who have cooperated with the Wugu Sect at all, transferred me away, and then attacked Songling Village. ”

Jiang Ruyue shook her head and said: "I don't think the first one is very likely, your brother An and Zeng Ziren are so stiff, and he Xia Ang is not a blind man, he must be able to see it." Although the Five Grain Sect is pervasive, it is at best a rabble, and it is impossible to fight against the official army at all, and it will only collapse at the touch of a button, why did they give you this kind of credit? ”

An Yi also frowned, "So there is only one possibility, there is someone in the garrison office who communicates with the Wugu Sect, and it cannot be ruled out that this person is Xia Ang." ”

"It's hard to get rid of the bandits in Jiangning Village last time, it was also the Wugu Sect that did it, their officials and bandits colluded, first the Wugu Sect pretended to be bandits to rob, and then Xia Ang took the garrison army to suppress the bandits, one on both sides took the name and the other profited."

It seems that this is the case, according to what Sun Hu said, each of the three villages that did not pay the regular silver ended up like Jiangning Village, so the other villages no longer dared to resist the Wugu Sect, which was undoubtedly a deterrent.

"However, why haven't we received any news from Sun Hu's side?" An Yi looked a little puzzled,

Jiang Ruyue paced back and forth in the room, rubbing her chin with her hands, frowning.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruyue stopped walking and walking, made a palm with her left hand, slapped each other with her right hand, and said with a pause: "Oh, Brother An, we just thought about why we didn't receive the news, it means that the news of our arrest of the spies sent by the Wugu Sect has leaked." ”

Isn't it? There is no news from the Five Grains Sect, which means that the Five Grains Sect already knows that An Yi has taken all the sect members who have come over, so what news is there here? Passed on to comfort?

An Yi thought so, but last time with the help of conscription, almost all the Wugu Sect members had been wiped out, except for one Sun Hu who was left to help them receive and deliver the news, the rest of the people were locked up in the back camp, and it was impossible to have a chance to spread the news, how did the Wugu Sect know? Could it be that Sun Hu has another way?

He told Jiang Ruyue what he thought in his heart, Jiang Ruyue had heard about An Yi's routine with Sun Hu on the school field last time, but this did not mean that Sun Hu really didn't leave a back hand for himself, he bit his lower lip and said: "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, it's a person or a ghost, we'll know if we try." ”

An Yi asked him, "How are you going to try?" ”

Jiang Ruyue shook the order letter in her hand with a smile and said, "Set up a banquet table, change the time on the order letter and say it, whoever wants to report the letter is an internal ghost." ”

An Yi understood what Jiang Ruyue meant, he smiled, turned around and walked out of the wooden house, and greeted the soldiers standing aside, "You two, go and call Jin Mingyin and General Lin to come here." ”

"Yes!"

The two soldiers took the order and left.

In the evening

An Yi found a more spacious room in the back camp, with a square table on it and some wine and meat on it. He called Jiang Ruyue, Lin Muzhi, Jin Mingyin, Meng Qi and Sun Hu.

He stood up, picked up his wine glass and said to everyone: "Since we have been stationed in Songling Village, the current team of nearly 1,000 people is inseparable from the efforts of all of you here. Today, I have a drink, just to treat everyone, and thank you to everyone, everyone is willing to follow me comfortably, everyone! Thank you! ”

Just drink it all.

Although An Yi organized this wine for a purpose, this opening sentence more or less expressed his true intentions. He can get to this point without the help of a few of them.

Lin Muzhi said with a big grin: "Brother An, if you want to say that, you are outside, you took me down the mountain, and I volunteered to follow you, if you think I used to be a mountain bandit one day and drive me away, then I will take my brothers to talk to you!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

When everyone heard Lin Muzhi's words, they couldn't help laughing.

Listening to Lin Muzhi's words, An Yi raised his wine glass again, "I promise the brothers here today that if there is my day, there will be your day!" When we are all princes and generals, we will gather in this room again and get drunk! ”

"Good!"

After everyone drank it all, An Yi was going to talk about tonight's defense, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. Because he saw that Sun Hu actually stood up with a wine glass and wept bitterly.

"My parents died when I was a child, and I had no relatives when I was very young, but I didn't expect that today's adults and I met not long ago, regardless of the previous suspicions, I ..... I'm really, not saying anything, let me... Let me Sun Hu call you big brother! As he spoke, he drank the wine cup in his hand, the empty cup was facing down, and the old tears were full of tears and said to this comfort: "Big brother, in the future, you will go to the soup and the fire, you say a word, Sun Hu will not give up." ”

This grateful Sun Hu can be confused about comfort, which one is he playing? Why don't you follow the script?

He and Jiang Ruyue glanced at each other, nodded lightly to each other, and for the time being, regardless of whether Sun Hu was showing his true feelings or acting on the spot, he continued to walk down first.

An Yi hurriedly comforted Sun Hu and sat down, and after a few words of greetings from the eldest brother, he began to cut to the chase.

"Brothers, I have something to tell you in advance, I received an order from the Chengdu Garrison Bureau, asking me to go to Shuangliu Village to help prevent bandits when I am ugly tonight. So tonight, let's just order to the end, mainly to eat enough, wine, everyone should drink a little less. ”

Lin Muzhi and Meng Qi naturally didn't have a word, and after listening to Anyi's words, they both put down their wine glasses, talked to each other, and then ate with the dishes on the table.

After Kim Myung-yin confirmed with An Yi whether he needed to carry firearms and the number of firearms needed, he had no objections.

It's just that this Sun Hu suddenly raised his head and asked An Yi: "Big brother, why is it so late to be ugly?" ”

This question couldn't help but make An Yizheng's hand holding the dish pause, and then immediately returned to a smiling face, and said: "Oh, this is a secret order from the Chengdu Garrison Bureau, and we will also implement it according to the above meaning." ”

After listening, Sun Hu nodded and stopped talking.

glanced at Jiang Ruyue without a trace, it was obvious that Jiang Ruyue was also alert to him asking this question, but he didn't show it, and he was still in full swing with Jin Mingyin.

Most of the people in the barracks live in the tents after nightfall, because Anyi is not a border zone, nor is it a place where bandits are rampant, so only two sentry posts can be set up at the entrance of the army, and the soldiers are on duty in turn.

The one in charge of the night tonight is the militia Mao Zi that Jin Mingyin brought out from Jinzhu Village. After Mao Zi was injured in Long'an Forest Farm last time, he went back to the village to recuperate, but he heard that Jin Mingyin followed An Yi to Chengdu to be a regimental training envoy, so he also defected after the injury was healed.

Mao Zi patrolled at the gate of the camp with a short crossbow, looking at the starry sky in the sky for a while, and looking at the Jiulong Mountains at night for a while, imagining that one day, their team could also go to the front line, and let General Lin send him a horse, take the cold and shining scimitar, cut off the heads of a few Liao people, and go back to show off to the old lady.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that there was a fire flickering next to the old tree outside the camp, and he alertly picked up his short crossbow and pointed it at the bright place. The crossbow in his hand is a three-arrow crossbow modified by Jin Mingyin, and the power is not small, there is a guy in his hand, and he has courage in his heart. Step by step, he walked towards the firelight.

The light of the fire flickered twice and seemed to be coming towards him. Maozi's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his hand was already on the bracket.

"Who! Come out! ”
