The stone chief, Luo Xiucai, and the petite woman turned to a large stone, and saw a few words written in a strange handwriting on the smooth side of the stone: "I will do what I say, and come to me."

The leaders looked at each other. It was still the stone that took the lead and spoke: "It seems that I can't catch up, let's get out of here first." So more than 100 men returned to the mountain village where they had temporarily camped in despair.

This is a mountain col inhabited by "mountain people", which originally had only about 20 households, but now its scale has expanded more than ten times. The so-called "mountain people" were poor people who fled into the mountains because they could not bear the government's excesses and taxes, and they were also the targets of the government's capture, and they naturally had a good impression of the rebels. The mountain people were familiar with the local geography and people, and could provide early warning and other kinds of help to the rebel army from outside, and this rebel army robbed the grain, meat, and more importantly, salt, and protected the mountain people from bandits, so the two sides now relied on each other.

In a shack, several leaders of the remnants of this insurgent army sat together, naturally discussing the question of what to do next. Because many people still felt strange about what happened this morning, Shi Shou took the lead and explained the cause and effect. Then he said: "I don't think that Li Buqi is not credible." His rhetoric was just to fool the show and stall for time, so that they would have time to run away. ”

A tall and thin man with a Shaanxi accent said: "The Sprinkle family thinks that it may not be as Shiling thinks." When I was in Shaanxi, I heard that Li Buqi almost killed those officials at the beginning, and he was afraid that he and those officials were not the same thing. It is not impossible to think for the poor. ”

Luo Xiucai took the opportunity to say: "Some of what Li Buqi said is not unreasonable. If we can really kill the city of Tokyo last year, I am afraid that the emperor will transfer the army guarding against the Liao State and the Western Xia back to fight us. If the Liao State and Western Xia take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, we will die and have no shame to see our ancestors. ”

Shi Ling said: "Your talent is looking ahead and looking backwards. We can't live anymore, what do we want to do so much? The world belongs to the Zhao family, and the Zhao official family is not afraid of losing the world to the Liao State and Western Xia, what are we going to do with so much care? ”

At this time, another leader asked: "Is the paradise that Li Buqi said true?" It's not bad if you can live in that place, it's better than living in a fixed place all day, worrying about the encirclement and suppression of the officials and troops, and guarding against the attack of strongmen here. ”

Someone else said, "If we go overseas, won't we repay our hatred?" ”

Some people also said: "Now that it's like this, even the state and county don't dare to attack, how can they take revenge?" ”

Everyone was puzzled, and after arguing for a long time, Shi Ling said: "Ying Niangzi, you have always had an idea, and you should also tell me what to do?" ”

Ying Niangzi frowned and said, "Such a big event, which is related to the lives of hundreds of people, can be decided casually?" I still need to think about it in the long run, so I don't think it's better to look at the scenery for a few more days. Li Buqi knows who we are, if he lied to his brother, he would definitely bring troops to encircle and suppress us, if he really didn't have the intention of harming us, he wouldn't deliberately look for us. We'll talk to him when the time comes. ”

Everyone also felt that it was safer to say this, and they all agreed. After all, no one dares to be careless if they want to put their lives in the hands of others. Seeing that everyone had no objections, the stone leader arranged more sentinels around him, and at the same time prepared the back road - this is the experience of running out of the road.

Luo Xiucai said: "There are more people to keep an eye on Drill Tianfeng." Li Buqi came with his troops, and he didn't know what would happen in Drill Tianzhai. In case we can take it down by looking at a loophole, we have a place to settle down, and everything is easy to plan. ”

Everyone agreed, so they went their separate ways to arrange manpower. The mountain people here were also sent out to inquire about the news.

Li Buqi took people back to the mountain villa and immediately sent someone to contact Wang Zhaoming, and went out to look for someone who had been on the Diamond Heaven Peak, and sure enough, he found an old man in his sixties. According to the old man, he went up to the Drill Sky Peak when he was a child, and he clearly remembered that although the stone beams in the back mountain were relatively flat, the narrowest part was only a dozen steps wide.

After inquiring about the news, Li Buqi hurried to Yangzhai County. When he arrived, the Zhenwu army had just arrived outside the city and was camping. And many forbidden troops and van troops were watching around. When Li Buqi walked into the camp, Wang Zhaoming and Yang Shiqing led a few officers over and introduced them as the first person: "Lift, this is He Dujian of Yingchang Mansion." ”

Li Buqi hurriedly saluted, and He Dujian hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a smile: "I have heard Li Ti's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it here." It's all us martial artists who are too useless, and we have a trip to labor lifting. ”

Li didn't give up, and he didn't even dare to say it. He Dujian said: "It is said that Li Tiju is a many, and today I saw that the training of the soldiers is really extraordinary." Now the bandits in Ziyingchang Mansion can finally be eradicated. ”

Although this is a dumping of the pot, it is also a normal compliment, but who knows that Li Buqi did not continue to say this, but said: "Don't hide it from the capital eunuch, let the Zhenwu army come to suppress the bandits, but this matter is not simple." When I left Beijing, it was rumored that some people coveted the good things of the royal test site and spread rumors that the Zhenwu Army was omnipotent, in order to transfer the Zhenwu Army, and it was better to run it out. ”

"Of course I don't believe these rumors. However, so many people in the Privy Council betrayed the information of the Great Song Dynasty to the Xia thief, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are a few bad people. Otherwise, I really don't understand who would boast of the omnipotence of a team that has never fought before. We are all martial artists, not outsiders, so I will give the capital prisoner a bottom and don't have too much hope for the Zhenwu army. ”

Li Buqi said it so bluntly, not only He Dujian and a group of officers, but also Song Yuanji, the prison army, also turned his face into a bun.

Although He Dujian couldn't get into the decision-making level of Yingchang Mansion, he could still hear the rumors, and he had heard that Zhizhou intended to let the Zhenwu army attack the dangerous terrain of Drill Tianzhai, and there was a faint sense of schadenfreude. As a general, you can understand it when you think about it with your toes. It is famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Li Buqi really knows how to spell as the legend, then maybe he can take it down, but will the official family hand over the army to a person who can call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers?

If Li Buqi is an ordinary person, everyone knows that he will never be able to please him, and when the time comes, the general of the defeated army will be rubbed by others. What's more, the current Zhizhou Jin Liren is the same year as the privy deputy envoy Han Qi, and when the local center launches it together, it will be able to make Li Buqi irreversible.

This matter is a group of court bigwigs who want to deal with a small shrimp that doesn't even have a grade, and a cat and a dog who want to stop it will definitely be crushed into powder, so He Dujian and all the military leaders under his command are not afraid of big things with an attitude of watching the excitement. But Li Buqi told them in front of them that there were rumors in the capital, so they couldn't pretend not to hear it, in case the emperor really beat up the Zhenwu army in the future, and blamed him, would those civil officials be responsible?

What do you think? It's definitely pushed on these martial artists. The emperor did not kill the scholars, but the scholars did not show mercy when they killed the warriors. What's the big deal about killing a few warriors in order to appease the emperor's anger?

He Dujian's back was cold, and he was no longer in the mood to ridicule, but just forced a smile: "Rumors can't be believed if you think about it." Tomorrow, Jin Zhizhou will arrive, and with his personal command, he will definitely be able to win. ”

Before Wengelou started, Li Buqi asked Yang Shilang to spread the rumor that the civil officials framed him Li Buqi, but it was not because Li Buqi was not treated by the civil officials, but because some people coveted the good things in the testing ground.

Rumors are not afraid of roughness, not afraid of loopholes, as long as the trend is formed, the people who eat melons will make up for it by themselves. As soon as this rumor came out, the Privy Council officials sold information to Western Xia, and everyone in the capital knew that there were bad people in the imperial court. Even their own army can be sold to the enemy, so what's so strange about harming the Zhenwu army in order to steal good things from the test site? So the guards who chased Li Buqi said that the direction of public opinion in the capital has changed.

It seems that this rumor has a good effect, and Li Buqi just said it casually, and these military leaders in Yingchang Mansion were silent. It would be much easier to keep these military leaders neutral and deal with civilian officials.
