Chapter 47 [Mountain Rain is Coming] (I)
Kaoli and I walked out of the bushes and quietly called Dai Kaishan aside, and I whispered, "Kaishan, who went to the woods just now?" ”
Dai Kaishan pointed at Kaoli. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course I can trust Kaoli, I know that he has always reacted half a beat slower than others, and reminded angrily and funny: "What about other than Kaoli? ”
Dai Kaishan whispered: "It is convenient for several of our warriors to go to the forest, I can't remember what they look like." ”
Unable to see what the result was, I said to Kaoli, "You should pay attention to it, and if you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately." ”
Kaoli nodded, and I looked into the distance, only to see Ge Feng standing on a rock, looking out at the road ahead.
Kaoli said in a low voice, "Does Childe suspect him?" ”
I nodded unabashedly, I did suspect Ge Feng, from the moment Nie Gongliang, the king of Changsi, sent him, I suspected that he had ulterior motives, and whispered: "Focus on him for me!" ”
After a short rest, the team continued to move forward, the autumn rain soon extinguished the spirit of the soldiers, one by one's faces were covered with gloomy clouds, the leather armor was soaked in the rain and was extremely heavy, the speed of travel became slower and slower, the mountain road became narrower and narrower, on both sides were towering cliffs, and when you raised your head, you could see the clouds floating overhead, which made people's mood become extremely depressed. Looking at the scene in front of me, I can't help but think of the traffic situation in modern society, which is really different from ancient to modern.
The team in front suddenly stopped, I glanced at Tori Huo, motioned for him to come forward and take a look, Torio Huo soon came back, and whispered to me: "Childe, the mountain road ahead is blocked by the rocks that have slipped down, and Commander Ju is directing the soldiers to clear the road, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a while." ”
I nodded, turned over and jumped off my horse, handed the reins to Torihuo, and strode towards the front of the group, and sure enough, I saw a lot of rocks piled up on the road ahead, which seemed to have rolled down from the cliffs on both sides, and Ju Wu was directing the soldiers to pry the rocks open with wooden sticks.
Ge Feng came to my side and whispered, "When it rains, this mountain road often happens like this, Commander Lu doesn't have to worry. ”
"How long will it take to go down this path?"
"If it goes well, you should be able to walk on a smooth road in three days, but there is a section of road ahead that is almost deserted, and it is even more difficult to walk than here." Ge Feng sighed softly.
I couldn't help frowning, in the Spring and Autumn Period, this could be regarded as a national highway, why was the road so bad? If the two countries want to get closer to each other, they must first repair this road.
Suddenly there was an exclamation in front of me, Ge Feng and I looked up at the same time, but saw a huge mountain rock suddenly falling straight down from the clouds, mixed with raindrops of red mud crashed down on the mountain road in front of them, more than a dozen soldiers who were busy cleaning the road would have thought of a catastrophe from the sky, and many people were smashed under the mountain rock before they could dodge, and the screams came and went.
Ju Wu was only about a meter away from the mountain rock, watching the mountain rock fall in front of him, his whole body was wrapped in splashed red mud, his eyes were full of shocked and inexplicable eyes, and the whole person stood there like a wooden chicken, as if he was stunned.
I was the first to react and yelled, "Go and save someone!" "I led the soldiers to rush to the place of the accident, the scene was full of heart-rending cries, I led people to pry the rock aside, but saw a blur of flesh and blood under the rock, seven people were killed on the spot, and four others were seriously injured. I commanded the soldiers to carry the four wounded soldiers aside, and by this time Mi Yong had already rushed over and hurriedly rescued the four wounded.
Ju Wu came to my side in shock: "How is the situation?" He hadn't been able to recover from the shock at this point.
I sighed and whispered, "Commander Ju should let them clear the road as soon as possible, and walk through this mountain road first." Ju Wu nodded, and at this time I heard another scream, but it was another one of the wounded who died, I shook my head a little unbearably, and came to Mi Yong's side.
Mi Yong's hands were stained with blood, and he quickly treated the wounds of the remaining three wounded soldiers, raised his head and said to me, "I'm afraid they won't be able to move on." ”
I nodded and said, "Go back and let someone escort them back first!" ”
After a short period of panic, the mountain road ahead was finally cleared, and after the team regrouped, they quickly passed the mountain road covered with blood and mud.
After a brief discussion with Ju Wu, we decided to free up a carriage and let six soldiers escort the three wounded back to Licheng to recuperate, after all, taking them with them would only slow down the whole team's march.
Walking through this narrow mountain road, the sky is already slightly dark, Ge Feng suggested camping in the mountain forest on the right side of the road.
Because of the tragedy just now, the whole team was filled with a sad atmosphere, I led my warriors to set up camp for the Seventh Princess, and set up a guard, at this time Kaoli quietly came to my side, led me to a place where no one was, and whispered: "Childe, that mountain rock did not fall by chance!" ”
My eyes widened, and I lowered my voice, "You mean the whole thing is man-made?" ”
Kaoli nodded and said: "I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, but whenever the mountain rock loosens off from the cliff in the rainy day, one side is bound to be covered with old mud, and the stones that fall with the mud flow are rarely so huge. ”
I turned around and looked at it, and said calmly: "It seems that our itinerary is all in the hands of others, there must be a mole in us!" Kaoli nodded in agreement.
Dai Kaishan walked over to the two of us, and he said from afar: "Childe, I remembered what you said just now." ”
I was worried that he was talking nonsense, so I hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Be quiet!" ”
Dai Kaishan said: "There was Brother Bird Huo who went to the woods just now!" ”
Kaoli and I were both stunned at the same time, it turned out that Dai Kaishan was talking about this matter, in fact, I had already thought that nine times out of ten the samurai who could mark in the woods were my samurai, but I didn't suspect this matter on Bird Huo.
Dai Kaishan couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw the expressions of the two of us: "What? What happened? Why don't I call him over and ask! ”
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, it's your turn tonight, don't hurry up and arrange it!" ”
Dai Kaishan nodded confusedly, turned around and walked towards the camp.
In the distance, Bird Huo walked out of the woods, still carrying two pheasants in his hands, and smiled from afar: "Childe, I have a delicious meal again at night!" I smiled at the same time as Kaoli, and I whispered to Kaori, "I'll stabilize him, and you can go and have a look in the woods!" ”
I changed into dry clothes in the carriage, put on my hat, put on my robe, and went outside again, and the rain was much lighter than before.
The soldiers chose a place to be able to shelter from the wind and rain and lit piles of bonfires, because the wood was damp, the camp was filled with choking white smoke, I patrolled around the camp of the seventh princess and Yue, and was sure that there was nothing unusual, so I explained a few words to Dai Kaishan, and when I was about to leave, Kaoli came back from patrolling in the woods, and we came to a place where no one was, Kaoli whispered: "I found the triangular mark again!" And...... The trail of footprints that continued under the tree must have been left by him. ”
My heart sank, and I glanced in the direction of Torihuo, and saw that he was busy roasting pheasants, chatting and laughing with the samurai around him from time to time.
"What should I do?" Corrie asked in a low voice.
I pursed my lips, and in an instant I had already made a decision in my mind: "Kill him!" ”
Kaulie reminded me in a whisper, "He brought those thirty warriors!" ”
I sneered, "So what, do you wait for him to come and harm us?" The thirty samurai may not have known the inside story. "I can't figure out why Bird Huo would do such a thing, he is Qu Mu's henchman, and I am Tang Meng's younger brother, isn't he afraid of Qu Mu's investigation if he betrays us? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but fight a cold war, could it be that the whole thing was planned by Qu Mu, what did he want to do? I didn't dare to think about it any further.
Walking slowly into the woods, I exclaimed in surprise, "What a big hare!" Come on! "Rush into the woods at full speed.
Bird Huo then stood up, he was extremely interested in hunting, and he and Kaoli rushed into the woods with bows and arrows.
Entering the depths of the woods, we stopped and pretended to look around: "Strange, where did you run?" ”
Birdie came to my side and looked around as I did.
I was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "There! My finger pointed to the right side of the bird.
Bird Huo turned his head, and I saw the right moment to slam his palm and hit him the side of the neck, Bird Huo didn't expect me to suddenly attack him, and his body shook and fell to the ground softly. Kaoli hugged him as soon as he came from behind, and Kaoli and I untied our belts and quickly tied Torihuo's hands and feet, ripped off the sleeves of his shirt and stuffed his mouth, and then slapped him heavily on the face.
Bird Huo woke up leisurely, and when he saw my angry eyes, his face was full of horror.
I lowered my voice and said, "You tell me honestly, why did you make a mark on the tree, is it to connect with the party?" ”
Torio shook his head vigorously.
Kaorlie flipped through him and pulled out a bronze token with a Qu character engraved on it, apparently given to him by Qu Mu, and he pulled out the dagger at his waist, the tip of the dagger was still stained with a little sawdust, matching the tree that made the mark, and Kaorlie nodded to me, as if he was sure that the marks were all made by Bird.
My heart was on fire, I grabbed a dagger and put it against Bird Huo's throat, and said coldly: "You give me an honest explanation, why do you make those marks, is it harboring evil intentions?" ”
Bird Huo was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he still refused to confide his true feelings, and shook his head desperately.
I nodded, with a slight force in my hand, the sharp dagger pierced the skin of Bird's throat, and a wisp of blood slowly flowed down his throat.
Kaori drew a feathered arrow, pointed the tip of the arrow against his right eye, and threatened: "Bird, I will pull the cloth from your mouth, if you dare to shout, you will be responsible for the consequences." ”
Bird Huo's face was covered with water droplets, I don't know if it was rain or sweat, he was already terrified under our double threat. Kaoli pulled away the cloth ball in his mouth, and Bird Huo really didn't dare to make a loud noise, he whispered: "Taifu...... Let...... Let me do it at the border......"
I lowered my voice and said, "What did you say?" Who did Qu Mu let you do to him? ”
"The ...... of the Seven Princesses"
My tiger body shook violently, and Kaoli's eyes were also full of shock, and he didn't expect Qu Mu to do such a thing.
Bird Huo sighed in a low voice, and he continued to explain: "He asked me to kill the Seventh Princess and ...... at the border You ......"
Kao Lie said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, Taifu Qu is the brother-in-law of Gongzi, how could he do this? ”
Bird Huo said: "I don't know, but ...... But all this is what he said, he said...... He said that as long as I made a good mark, when I arrived at the border of Yuechu, someone would naturally contact me...... Childe, I don't want to hurt you. ”
"Do any of the thirty samurai you brought know about this?"
Bird Huo shook his head and said, "I haven't used that bronze token yet!" "It turns out that this bronze token is equivalent to Qu Mu's personal presence, and if necessary, Tori Huo can order thirty warriors to carry out all orders.
I nodded, but the dagger suddenly probed and pierced deep into Bird Huo's throat, Kao Lie couldn't help but let out an exclamation, looking at Bird Huo's throat that was constantly foaming with blood, and wondered: "Why did Childe kill him?" ”
I said coldly, "Keeping him will only make us more dangerous." "The longer I stay in this era, the harder my heart becomes, I have become a little insensitive to killing, and in order to ensure my better survival, I can only ruthlessly eradicate my opponents.
Kaoli untied the cloth strap tied to Bird Huo's body and said in a low voice, "Does Childe really believe his words?" ”
I nodded slowly and said, "I finally understand now, the reason why Qu Mu sponsored me not was to give me a chance to be promoted and make a fortune, but to want me to die, if I die, he can point the finger at Zeng Xizhen in this matter, and then get rid of his relationship with this matter." ”
Still confused, Kaorlie said, "Why did he do this? ”
I sneered: "There is only one purpose, to destroy the alliance between Yue and Chu!" "I vaguely guessed in my heart, maybe Qu Mu was a traitor sent by Wu State to lurk in the Yue Kingdom, if it was really as I thought, Qu Mu's insidiousness was far more than I imagined, I couldn't help but worry about Tang Meng's fate.
