In the dead of night, Zhang Shun quietly came to the riverside alone. At this time, his mind was full of thoughts about how to enter the Golden Mountain Temple. On an early spring night, the breeze is gentle, and it is still a little cool. Looking up at the sky, a bright moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by twinkling stars.

Zhang Shun looked at the starry sky, looked at the Jinshan Temple in the heart of the river, and saw the back of the river swallowing the turtle from a distance, the mountain towering dragon scales, the rotten silver plate gushing out of the green snails, and the soft green pile was far away from dragging Su Lian. Jinshan Temple is located on the top of the mountain peak, subject to the wind from all sides; Looking at the bell tower from afar, leaning on the stone wall of a thousand layers; Van Tagao invaded the sea day, and the lecture hall reflected the blue clouds at a low level, which was magnificent.

Zhang Shun looked at the riverside for a while, and thought in his heart: "Runzhou Lu Shumi, I expect that he will definitely come to this mountain from time to time." If I go quietly alone, I will know the news. ”

So, Zhang Shun lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned back again. At this time, Chai Jin also got up and came to look for Zhang Shun, saw him from a distance, and asked, "Brother Zhang Shun, you don't rest in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”

"Now that I'm here, I don't have a small boat, I don't know anything about Jiangxin, and I don't know the military situation in Runzhou, how can I sleep." Zhang Shun sighed and said, "Brother Chai Jin, I have observed the terrain of Jiangxin and the situation of Jinshan Temple, and I expect that Lu Shumi will inevitably go to Jinshan Temple, why don't I go and explore the situation tonight, what do you think?" ”

Chai Jin was puzzled: "There is not a single boat here, how do you cross the river and enter the Jinshan Temple in the heart of the river?" ”

Zhang Shun smiled: "Brother Chai Jin, have you forgotten what my nickname is?" As long as the clothes are tied, and the two big silver are put on the head, you can cross to the Jinshan Temple, and then give some money to bribe those monks, you can find out the truth, and then return to the marshal, and you can wait here for a while. ”

Chai Jin said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then do what you want, go early and return early, and don't delay, so as not to startle the snake and fear hurting your life." ”

Zhang Shun replied: "I know, you wait here for a while, and I'll go and go back." ”

So, Zhang Shun took off his clothes, tied up a white circle around his waist, stuffed two big silver in his turban clothes, tied them to his head, and carried a sharp knife at his waist, and went into the water from Guazhou and went straight to Kaijiang's heart. The water could not cover his breast, and he swam swiftly in the water like a dry road.

After a while, Zhang Shun came to the foot of Jinshan, and when he looked around, he saw a small boat next to Shi Feng. He groped his way quietly, and when he saw that no one was coming, he climbed to the side of the boat, took off his coat, unpacked his wet clothes, wiped his body, put on his clothes, and sat down in the middle of the boat.

At the right time, Runzhou even more drums sounded, and the third watch was played.

Zhang Shun pondered: "At this time, is it the third watch? ”

Just as he was about to ascend the Golden Mountain, he saw a small boat swinging in the direction he was. Zhang Shun thought to himself: "Could it be that the trace has been discovered?" When he looked again, he saw that there was only one person on the boat, and it seemed that he was an ordinary person, "It doesn't look like he has found my traces, otherwise he wouldn't have come alone." This boat is coming in a strange way, and it must be tired! ”

Zhang Shun looked around and saw that no one appeared, so he jumped into the river, without setting off any waves, and ran directly to the side of the boat. Zhang Shun dived, quietly surfaced, looked again, only to see that there was not one person on the boat, but two people rocking the oar, only looking at the north shore, not the south side of the embankment, not caring about other things at all, only remembering to rock the boat.

"Good chance!"

Seeing that this was the case, Zhang Shun was overjoyed. So, he went to the bottom of the water again, swam to the side of the boat at once, grabbed the side of the boat and sharpened the sharp knife, and the two rocking oars scattered the oars, and jumped into the river without hesitation, and slipped away. Zhang Shun thought that there was no one, so he prepared to rock the boat by himself.

Suddenly, two people came out of the cabin, Zhang Shun raised his knife and fell, and directly cut one into the water with a knife, and the river was bright red. The other person, seeing that his companion was killed, collapsed to the ground, fell directly into the cabin, trembled, did not dare to have the slightest sense of resistance, looked at Zhang Shun with frightened eyes, and begged for mercy: "A good man spare his life!" ”

The sharp knife in Zhang Shun's hand was on the man's neck, and he could be killed on the spot with a slight stroke, and the man looked at him in horror, and heard him shout: "Who are you?" Where did the ships come? Tell me the truth, and I'll spare you! ”

The man saw the bright sharp knife in Zhang Shun's hand on his neck, and he didn't dare to obey the order, so he hurriedly said: "The villain is a cadre from the Chen general's family in Dingpu Village, outside Yangzhou City, and let the villain go to Runzhou to worship Lu Shumi to offer grain, 50,000 stone of white grain, and 300 boats, as a gift for worship, and then go back with Yu Hou." ”

Zhang Shun nodded and said, "That Yu Hou, who is his surname?" Where is it again? ”

Ganren pointed to the corpse floating on the water, and replied tremblingly: "Yu Hou's surname is Ye Minggui, and the person who was cut down into the river by a hero is him." ”

Zhang Shun asked again, "What's your name?" When will you go to worship? What's in the ship? ”

The cadre replied: "The villain's surname is Wu Mingcheng, and he crossed the river on the seventh day of the first month of this year. Lu Shumi asked the villain to go to Suzhou, saw the appearance of the three kings of the royal brother, closed the number of three hundred flags, and entered the Chen general non-commissioned officer, named Yangzhou Mansion Yin, and was awarded the title of Zhongming Doctor, and there were 1,000 collars for the number of clothes, and Lu Shumi paid along. ”

Zhang Shun asked again: "What is your master's name?" Do you know how many centaurs there are? ”

Wu Cheng replied: "There are thousands of people and more than 100 horses. The in-laws have two children, the eldest son Chen Yi and the second son Chen Tai. The master soldier is called Chen Guan. ”

Wu Cheng's life is in the hands of Zhang Shun, where can he dare to hide the slightest, as long as Zhang Shun asks, he knows everything and answers in detail, and he does not dare to have the slightest intention of disobedience. After Zhang Shun knew the ins and outs of the matter, he also went down with a knife and cut him into the river, unwilling to attract the attention of others, so he could only raise a butcher knife to kill.

Then, Zhang Shun walked to the stern of the boat and shook the oar, and shook it to Guazhou. Chai Jin, who had been waiting by the river, heard the sound and hurried over, and saw Zhang Shun rocking a boat from a distance. Chai Jin immediately stepped forward to ask, and Zhang Shun also told him the news he had inquired about.

Chai Jin was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly entered the cabin and found a baggage. When I opened it, as Wu Cheng said, there were documents in the baggage, as well as 300 red silk flags, 1,000 collars of variegated clothes, and two loads were folded. Zhang Shun changed into clean clothes, then chiseled the boat through and sank it directly into the river, and then came to the thatched house, took some silver taels and handed it to his mother-in-law, and then called the other two to leave in a hurry overnight.

Zhang Shun and his entourage went straight back to Yangzhou, only to arrive outside Yangzhou at this time. The officials of Yangzhou City came to welcome Zhao Gou and others into the city, and prepared materials to replenish the army. Chai Jing and Zhang Shun set off overnight and finally came to the camp where the army was stationed.

Zhang Shun informed all the information he had sought, and Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard it: "The two brothers have really made great contributions, and they should be recorded." Next, as long as we take this Chen Guan, the big thing will be decided, and then the army in his name can cross the defense of Fang La's army, God really help me! ”

Zhang Shun, Chai Jin and others were tired from the journey, and in order to return the information they got to Zhao Gou as soon as possible, they never rested. So, Zhao Gou asked a few of them to go down to eat and drink to their heart's content, and then go to rest. Then, Zhao Gou asked again: "It's just this Chen Guan, we haven't seen it, what should we do with the military advisor?" ”

Military advisor Wu Yong said in a deep voice: "Marshal, don't worry, we don't know who Chen Guan is, you can ask Jun into the urn and let him tell me to wait." ”

Zhao Gou was curious: "How do you let him tell us by himself?" ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Zhang Shun say that the person who went to Chen Guan this time was Ye Yuhou?" We can have someone pretend to be him and go to the meeting. In this way, are you still afraid that he will not appear? You must know that this Ye Yuhou came on the order of Lu Shumi and asked him for food and ships, if Chen Guan wants to continue to live a quiet life, he must voluntarily take the bait, otherwise if they rob it openly, they will be helpless. ”

"What does the military advisor mean, let's find someone to pretend to be Ye Yuhou and then contact him?" Zhao Gou said, "However, if there is anyone in our army who is similar in appearance and body shape to this person, if there is any difference, I am afraid that it will cause others to be vigilant at that time, and the situation will be even worse at that time." ”

Wu Yong said: "Marshal Hui, is there one person in our army who can complete this task?" ”

"Who can do it?"

"Brother Yanqing is also!"

Zhao Gou said in a low voice: "Brother Yanqing can complete this task?" ”

Everyone also looked at the military advisor Wu Yong with a blank face, even Yan Qing himself felt a little strange, he didn't understand why the military advisor Wu Yong wanted to let him go, he didn't remember what his specialties were, and thought: "Is the military advisor joking?" Let me go, I'm not like Ye Yuhou, do I have other plans? ”
