Chapter 899: Spying
After taking a nap, the Yang sisters and Wang Yuan were already sitting in the small wooden pavilion in the courtyard at the end of the day. The freshly brewed green tea is fragrant, the early winter sun is warm in the afternoon, and the air is as warm as spring.
Wang Yuan comfortably leaned on the wooden chair and drank tea, and glanced at the Yang sisters beside him from time to time. Mrs. Qin Guo and Yang Yuhuan were already neatly dressed, and their hair buns were also meticulously combed, completely the images of two unattainable noble ladies. Who would have thought that not long ago, the two noble ladies were the stunners who boldly ecstasy between the beds.
Like dried flowers, they were moistened by the rain, and the faces of the two women were flushed with a faint flush, and they looked radiant. Although the two sisters were a little embarrassed when they met each other when they came to the small pavilion in the courtyard just now, they seemed to have quickly adjusted. Maybe they had already been mentally prepared for this, and they knew that there would be such a day, and the two sisters quickly calmed down.
However, when Mrs. Qin Guo saw Wang Yuan, she gave him a blank look, and said in a low voice: "I can let you get what you want." ”
Wang Yuan was speechless to answer, only laughing. Mrs. Qin ignored him, stepped forward and took Yang Yuhuan's arm and went straight to this small wooden pavilion, ordered Hongdouer and Luyeer to make tea, and the three of them sat here and chatted and basked in the sun.
Drinking tea, the three of them talked with each other.
"Erlang, next spring, we plan to put a small garden next to it. My little sister said that she wanted to plant some flowers and plants, and she could raise a few cranes and deer or something, do you say it's okay? Mrs. Qin Guo lazily raised her hand and pointed to the grass ramp on the west side of Huanhua Creek.
Wang Yuan smiled: "What? Are you really planning to live here forever? I'm going to build this mansion here. ”
"Why not? I love it here. I'm also thinking that next spring I'll open a fish pond on the slope next to it and put some koi fish in it. Plant some lotus flowers in the Huanhua Creek. In the summer, you can enjoy the lotus and fish, and it is even more beautiful here. Yang Yuhuan said coquettishly.
Wang Yuan laughed, and was about to open his mouth to laugh at Yang Yuhuan who said that he wanted to escape into the empty door to become a female Taoist priest, but now he has to do what these laymen do. But before he could say anything, suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure on the side of the bamboo forest behind him, and it seemed that a figure had disappeared. Wang Yuan was startled, thinking that it was Red Beans and Green Leaves playing by the bamboo forest, but the next moment, he saw Red Beans and Green Leaves standing under the wooden corridor of the grass house and pointing and talking, that is to say, the figures by the bamboo forest were not one of Red Beans and Green Leaves. Wang Yuan instantly became alert.
You must know that in the grass house on the bank of Huanhua Creek, except for the Yang family sisters who are Hongdouer and Luyeer, no one can appear here. The edges of the dense forests within a radius of five or six miles were all isolated by a wooden fence erected by Wang Yuan. The entrance to the east was hidden in the woods, and a team of more than 20 Shence Army guards patrolled around the wooden fence for twelve hours, and their duty was to prevent any innocent people from entering the place and discovering the residence of the Yang sisters.
The guards were strictly forbidden to enter the wooden fence for half a step. They were all the most loyal soldiers carefully selected, and they obeyed Wang Yuan's orders as if they were holy orders. Moreover, they are also very clear about the military law of the Shence Army, once they disobey the order and trespass here, they will be punished by capital punishment and there is no tolerance at all, so they will never break in. Unless there is an emergency situation, such as an outsider breaking in, they can come in and arrest the intruder to protect the two sisters, Mrs. Qin Guo and Yang Yuhuan.
Wang Yuan stood up suspiciously, turned around and looked at the bamboo forest behind him. The two sisters of the Yang family were shocked to find something wrong, and Mrs. Qin asked in surprise, "Erlang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand slightly and said, "Just now I seemed to see a figure shaking on the side of the bamboo forest. ”
The two girls were also startled, and hurriedly looked at the bamboo forest, but saw the green bamboo swaying, and the bamboo leaves rolling and rustling, and there was a little figure and movement there.
"Erlang Mo is not dazzled. The sunset shines on the eyes, which is easy to dazzle. Will other people come in here and there? Besides, didn't you arrange for a lot of soldiers to guard outside? Mrs. Qin Guo said in a low voice.
"Before I got to the point where my old eyes were dizzy, there was indeed a figure that disappeared in a flash, and I really saw it." Wang Yuan said in a low voice.
"Could it be your guards coming in?" Yang Yuhuan frowned and asked.
Wang Yuan said: "It is strictly forbidden for them to enter here, how dare they come in without my order." That's going to cost you a head. ”
"Maybe you're here today, and they don't know if they have something to report to you. If you're not here, they won't come in. Yang Yuhuan groaned.
Wang Yuan thought about it and felt that there was some truth. Today, I came to Huanhua Creek, and the situation is different again. Maybe there was something urgent to report, so they had to come in and find themselves. Then only Zhao Qing can come in here to find himself, because only Zhao Qing knows the secret in this Huanhua Creek, and if he sets foot here, it will not be a big deal. may have seen that he was sitting here talking with Mrs. Qin Guo and Yang Yuhuan, and he didn't dare to come out to show up in order to avoid suspicion.
Wang Yuan slowly walked to the side of the bamboo fence and shouted in a deep voice to the side of the bamboo forest: "Is it Zhao Qing?" Is there something to report? Come out. ”
The bamboo leaves rustled, and no one responded. Wang Yuan shouted a few more times, but there was still no response.
"Erlang, I'm afraid that there is really no one, you must have lost your eyes." Mrs. Qin Guo laughed loudly.
Wang Yuan also laughed and said: "It must be so, it seems that I was really dazzled by the sun, and no one is here at all." ”
Mrs. Qin Guo and Yang Yuhuan covered their mouths and giggled when they heard this. Wang Yuan strode back to the pavilion, and the two girls were just about to sit down, but Wang Yuan took the two girls in his arms and said in a low voice: "An outsider has broken in, you pretend to be nothing to go back to the house, tie the door bolt and don't come out." Do not open the door unless I call the door. ”
The two girls were startled, and Yang Yuhuan was stunned: "But didn't you just say that you were dazzled?" ”
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Fool, I mean it for the intruders, they must be hiding in the bamboo forest. Now listen to my commands, and go into the house as if nothing had happened, and do not panic. ”
The two girls realized the seriousness of the problem, Wang Yuan would not make a fool of himself, someone must have really broken in. This is not a trivial matter, breaking into the secret residence of Huanhuaxi is equivalent to exposing the foothold of Mrs. Qin Guo and Yang Yuhuan. In particular, the secret that Yang Yuhuan is still alive and living here is going to be exposed to the world, which is no joke.
Mrs. Qin's face turned pale, and her body trembled a little. Although Yang Yuhuan's face was also pale, it was obvious that she seemed to be more calm than Mrs. Qin. After listening to Wang Yuan's words, Yang Yuhuan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Eighth sister, I feel a little cold, and I want to go into the house to add some clothes." Eighth sister will accompany me to go in, okay? ”
Mrs. Qin Guo forced herself to calm down and raised her voice: "Okay...... Okay, little sister, I'll accompany you to add clothes. ”
"Let's go." Yang Yuhuan stretched out his hand to hold Mrs. Qin's arm, and the two slowly walked out of the wooden pavilion, pretending to be casual and went to the hut.
Wang Yuan looked at the backs of the two of them, and sighed in his heart, Yang Yuhuan's excuse was seamless. In fact, Yang Yuhuan was so calm, Wang Yuan was not surprised at all. When he was forced to assassinate her with Li Guinian, Yang Yuhuan was extremely calm, which left a deep impact on Wang Yuan. This Yang Yuhuan is like an enigmatic woman, who is as beautiful as a spring flower for a while, quiet as autumn water for a while, and sometimes coquettish and sweet as honey, and her personality is really changeable.
Seeing that the two girls returned to the porch and entered the house with the support of Red Beans and Green Leaves, and then the sound of closing the door and bolting was heard, Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly walked to the big black horse tied to the exit of the bamboo fence, his eyes were firmly fixed on the area near the left of the bamboo forest, and he came to the side of the big black horse, and under the cover of the horse's body, he slowly took the broken sword from the horse's back and gently pulled out the sheath.
Wang Yuan's figure bowed under the bamboo fence, and when he approached the bamboo forest, Wang Yuan landed and rolled on the ground, plunging into the dense bamboo forest. After entering the bamboo forest, Wang Yuan lay motionless on the wet and cold ground, listening carefully to the movements around him. According to Wang Yuan's guess, the figure disappeared in a flash, and it could only be that he had entered the bamboo forest.
Only this bamboo forest could survive here, and the forest was still dozens of steps away, so Wang Yuan concluded that the man had gotten into the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest is so dense that it is impossible to see the outside when you get into it. I was afraid that the few shouts I had just now would make the people hiding in the bamboo forest dare not show their heads, so I deliberately made a play just now to dispel the vigilance of the people who were hiding and make up for the vigilance brought to them by the few shouts I just had. Once they hear their words, they will think that their whereabouts have not been revealed, and they will definitely act again.
The gap below the bamboo forest is the best view, and the bamboo branches above are dense, and the view will be completely obscured, so Wang Yuan lies on the ground, crawling slowly among the damp and rotten leaves. There is a rustling sound when crawling, but in the rustle of the wind blowing the bamboo forest, these sounds are completely drowned out, so it is not afraid that it will be noticed.
This bamboo forest is not large, just a narrow one that grows along the south bank of Huanhua Creek, and the widest part is only forty or fifty steps. Therefore, through the rhizome under the bamboo, you can basically see the ground on both sides. Unless the view is obstructed at the undulating place, or the farthest edge is obscured by the dense rhizomes of the bamboo, Wang Yuan believes that people in the bamboo forest will never hide at the edge, but can only hide in the middle of the dense bamboo forest.
After climbing dozens of steps along the depth of the bamboo forest, Wang Yuan gradually entered the depths of the bamboo forest. Wang Yuan stopped above a slightly raised ground and looked ahead. From the bamboo leaves on the ground of the bamboo forest that was more than ten steps away more than ten steps away, two black figures were also lying on the ground like two big turtles, and the moment Wang Yuan probed from the top of the raised soil slope, these two people were also looking at this side with their heads held high. The moment the six eyes met, the three of them were startled and stunned. It turned out that the two of them also used the gap under the bamboo forest to spy outward, and the two sides crawled in opposite directions, and a small slope in the middle blocked the sight of both sides, so that they actually climbed to such a close distance before they realized each other.
The stunned encounter lasted for less than a few breaths, and the next moment Wang Yuan stood up, kicked his feet on the two thick bamboos, and his body flew down like a big bird. The two people on the other side also reacted at the same time, they stood up, and the bright steel knife in their hands slashed towards Wang Yuan, who was rushing towards him.
Wang Yuan shouted, and the long sword slashed down, intersecting with the sword of the person on the left. But the harsh sound sounded, and the steel knife in the man's hand was split in half, leaving only half of the steel knife stunned. At the same time, Wang Yuan's toes were used to step on the bamboo branches, and with the power of the rebound, his body was several feet high, and he was able to dodge the steel knife on the right side.
The next moment, Wang Yuan's body landed on the side of the person on the left, and the man threw half of the steel knife towards Wang Yuan's front door, and his body retreated to the south side, trying to escape from Wang Yuan's attack range and join his companions. Wang Yuan didn't allow him to get out, stepped up and reached out, the broken sword slashed horizontally with a dazzling light, the man only felt that the sword aura was enveloping his head and face, and he screamed loudly in fright, watching the long sword slash horizontally towards his face but couldn't dodge. Wang Yuan's wrist flipped, and the blade of the broken sword flipped into the blade of the sword, and Peng struck the man's face door with a bang. Suddenly, a narrow mark of the blade appeared on the man's face, and the blow sent a buzz in the man's brain, and he turned unsteady on his feet. Wang Yuan's left fist struck out and struck the man's neck with swiftness. There was a pop, and the man fell to the ground like a broken pocket.
All this happened between lightning and fire, the moment the person on the left fell to the ground, the person holding the steel knife on the right was able to reach Wang Yuan. He was going to swing a knife to force Wang Yuan back and cover his companion's retreat, but at this moment, his companion fell to the ground, this person saw the opportunity, immediately retreated, and ran out of the bamboo forest. The two fights were put down in an instant, and the opponent's long sword was extremely sharp, and it could break the steel knife, so what else was there to fight, it was better to flee immediately.
Wang Yuan didn't allow him to flee and chased after him. Unexpectedly, that person was very agile, and he rushed out of several feet in three steps and two steps, and threw the steel knife in his hand at Wang Yuan to block Wang Yuan's pursuit. Wang Yuan was almost hit by the spinning steel knife, and the moment he dodged, the man had already rushed out of the bamboo forest. Wang Yuan hurried out, only to hear the neighing of the big black horse near the hut on the west side. Wang Yuan hurriedly galloped west, bypassing the protrusion of the bamboo forest, but saw that the man was crawling on the back of the big black horse, desperately pulling the reins, obviously intending to escape on the big black horse. However, the big black horse is not an ordinary horse, it is a horse with a good horse and a human nature, constantly jumping and neighing, turning the man on the back of the horse and unable to sit down.
Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to the entrance and whistled, and the big black horse jumped up and crossed the bamboo fence and went straight to Wang Yuan. Immediately, the man pulled the reins of the horse, but unfortunately the horse did not listen to him at all, but took him to Wang Yuan's side, and hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted. The moment he landed, he only felt a pain in his lower abdomen, his body flew out of his feet, and the severe pain hit, and the whole person fainted in pain. It turned out that when he landed, he was kicked in the stomach by the hind hooves of the big black horse, and almost kicked his intestines in two.
Wang Yuan stepped forward, flipped his arms, and twisted them. Tie it tightly with a rope on horseback. Returning to the bamboo forest, he dragged another unconscious intruder over and tied him up as well.
Mrs. Qin Guo, Yang Yuhuan and the others in the hut saw all this through the window, and saw that Wang Yuan had already captured the two of them, so they hurriedly opened the door and rushed out. Mrs. Qin Guo exclaimed nervously, "Erlang, who are these people?" ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "I'll talk about it later, I don't know if they still have helpers, this piece must be fully searched." Hongdou'er, please go to the gate of the wooden fence immediately to see General Zhao Qingzhao, and order him to come to see me immediately. I can't leave here for a while, just in case something changes. ”
Hongdou'er hurriedly agreed, rushed to the east with her skirt, and went to the door to inform Zhao Qing and the others. Wang Yuan's two people dragged into the front hall, and guarded the door with swords in case another intruder rushed to rescue them. After a while, the sound of noisy footsteps came, Zhao Qing rushed into the courtyard with a pale face, and saw Wang Yuan standing in front of the door with an iron face, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Despicable duty, dereliction of duty, please condemn the marshal." ”
Wang Yuan shouted coldly: "Your dereliction of duty will be discussed later, and immediately take your brothers to search the mountains and forests near the left, and search for any other enemies who have broken in." ”
Zhao Qing responded and rushed out, and soon after, the soldiers were divided into several teams and began to search along the river bank and the mountain forest. Half an hour later, Zhao Qing came back again to report.
"Commander, the search has been completed, and there is no trace of other enemies. Two mounts were found in the grove to the east, presumably their own. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Two horses?" From this point of view, there are really only these two people. Zhao Qing, do you know your dereliction of duty? In broad daylight, these two people were allowed to touch here, is this worth it? ”
Zhao Qing's face was like ashes, and he said in a deep voice: "You should die for your humble position, and you are willing to be punished in any way, there is no other word." ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "You are too careless, how did these people get in, have you found out?" ”
Zhao Qing's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Marshal, the humble position is not to find a reason to excuse himself, but what makes the humble position strange is that the brothers outside have been patrolling all the time, and the lookout soldiers in the high places have not seen any traces of the idlers approaching. I had just looked around the perimeter of the wooden fence and found no trace of intrusion, which was very strange to me. ”
Wang Yuan also felt strange, he knew that with Zhao Qing's caution, it was unlikely that this kind of thing would happen. How these people are unaware
