Suishan bureaucrats, living by the mountains.

Many people built wooden houses on flat land for living, but many more still lived in caves following ancient customs. Unlike the caves in the Heluo area, most of the caves used by the bureaucrats are naturally formed. And in a group, in a large cave, there may be several families living in it. Therefore, when judging the household registration of the bureaucrats, it is also famous.

There are 20 to 30 people in one cave, and there are more than 200 people in Suishan, with a total population of more than 5,000.

This is nothing in relatively developed areas such as Shu County and Wenshan County. However, in Emei, and even further south, Yuewang, Qiongdu, Qianwei and other places, they can definitely be regarded as a large group. It is precisely because of this that Gu Siman has a very high status in Rongle City.

As the night deepened, Gu Siman led the people to a remote cave.

"It's all old!"

Outside the cave, there are dozens of wingmen and samurai guards.

Seeing Gu Si come up, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Is she okay in there?"

"The bone orchid is very normal, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, and don't show any abnormalities, please rest assured."

Duoduo, sure enough, was detained by Gu Siman.

"You all stay here, and I'll go in and talk to Bone Randot."

Gusman sighed, took the torch from one of his attendants, and strode into the cave.

The cave is deep and the road is uneven.

There is nothing in the cave, a stone beam with two people in the middle, and an abyss on both sides. Walking on the stone beam, you can faintly hear the ghost crying wolf howling in the abyss. The strange stones on the wall of the cave on the top of the cave are interlaced with dogs' teeth and uneven, forming a hideous shape.

This stone beam is about 500 meters long.

As long as one end is guarded and there is enough food and grass, it will be difficult for thousands of troops and horses to pass. The stone beams were rugged, forming a slow slope, and Gu Si walked about three hundred meters, only to hear a fierce voice from the opposite side: "Who is it?" Hurry up and get your name in? ”

"Shouting what, it's me!"

Gu Siman frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

The fire flickered on the opposite side of the stone beam, and I saw four wingman warriors appear at the other end of the stone beam.

"See all the old."

"Go down, I have something to say to Bone Rando."

Gu Siman waved the warrior away and walked past the stone beam. At the other end of the stone beam, at a depth of about a hundred meters, there is an iron fence.

Behind the fence, there is a stone chamber.

A young girl in a robe, with a shawl and a gold ring on her head, sat barefoot on the ground, intently carving something on the stone wall.

"Bone Randot!"

The girl heard the voice and quickly turned around. In the dim light, it is exactly the flowers.

"Uncle Gusiman, have you figured it out?"

Gu Siman sat down outside the iron fence, looked at Duoduo in a daze, and sighed after a long time, "Duoduo, it's not that I have figured it out, but I have to do it." It's not that you don't know that your brother Gulutuo was detained by the flying chief. If I don't do this, my life will not be saved...... I'm old, and I don't like to fight. Over the years, he has taken his clansmen to naturalize the imperial court, and the blood surname of that year has almost been grinded. If it weren't for the sake of the bones, how could I let the people of the whole clan be in danger? ”

Duoduo was silent...... She sat down and sighed faintly, "Uncle Gusiman, you are not in danger, you are in a dead place." ”

"Dead or not, I don't know."

Gu Si said in a deep voice: "I came today to tell you that the official army has left Rongle City...... For the sake of the bones, I decided to fight once. Success or failure, I'll let you go. But that can only be done after I leave Rongle and enter the depths of Suishan. ”

As he said this, his cheeks twitched twice.

"Gu Landuo, uncle wants to say sorry to you, not only did he fail to take care of you, but he made you feel wronged."

Duoduo said: "Uncle Gusiman, you have to think clearly. Now that you let me go, I can find my man and give you advice. He is smart and resourceful, and as long as he is willing to help, he will definitely help you solve the problem and rescue the Guluto brothers.

But if you really attack Rong Le Cang, it will be a capital crime! ”

Gu Siman laughed, "Duoduo, I know that the Han people are cunning, but I'm not a fool. I don't know who your man is, but now that you're being held here by me, he doesn't know it, so there's nothing surprising about it. Duoduo, you don't have to persuade me anymore. ”

"Xiao Xiucai will definitely come to save me, and you will definitely fail."

Duoduo looked firm and said loudly.

Gu Si smiled and didn't argue with Duoduo.

"You bear with me for two more days, and in a few days, I will let you out."

"Uncle Gusman, don't do anything stupid......"

Seeing this, Duoduo hurriedly shouted loudly, but Gu Siman ignored him, held a torch, followed the way he came, and left the cave.

"Before we retreat to Suishan, if there is anything abnormal, we will kill her!"

As he left the cave, Gu Siman gritted his teeth and whispered.

The two warriors respectfully agreed and retreated into the cave.

Although he had made up his mind, Gu Siman's heart was not calm. He did not start acting immediately the next day, but stayed in Suishan and sent people to continue to observe the movements of Rongle City. The spies reported that everything was normal in Rongle City, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. It's just that due to the departure of the official army, the Ronglecheng County Ya has increased some manpower to Ronglecang, about 200 people.

"Two hundred people are waiting for the night?"

"No, it's on duty...... I observed that Rong Lecang was divided into two shifts every day, taking turns to be on duty. However, when there are two shifts, there will be a change of guard. It's about a stick of incense...... At that time, their guards were the most lax. ”

"When will the guard be changed?"

"Change the guard once on weekdays, and change the guard once in the morning."

Pingdan, that is, in Yinshi. It refers to the time when the sun is below the horizon and the sky is just dawning, which is commonly known as dawn. 晡时 refers to the time of Shen. The ancients used to eat during this time period, that is, from 3 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and if it is changed to the language of later generations, it is the time for afternoon tea.

Gu Siman thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "When the time comes, the target is too obvious and not very suitable.

Pingdan Action ...... You try to talk to our people and ask them to buy us a little more time. It doesn't take too much, half a pillar of incense will do. I ordered all the men and horses on my side, set off in the afternoon tomorrow, and then at dawn, I started to seize Rongle Cang. ”

The spy hurriedly agreed and left Suishan in a hurry.

Gu Siman exhaled softly and wandered in the cave for a long time.

Now that he has reached this point, he has no way back! For the sake of Gulutuo, for the sake of Suishan, I had to take a risk.

On the fourth day of the withdrawal of the officers and troops from Rongle City, everything was calm.

After nightfall, Rongle City soon fell silent. And Rongle Cang, located not far from the county seat, is still brightly lit.

The soldiers patrolled around Rongle Cang, heavily guarded.

Gu Siman arrived at the periphery of Rongle Cang after the child's time, prostrate on the mountain, and he quietly observed the movement of Rong Le Cang. On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything special. But the scheming Gu Siman still observed quietly, and his heart was pounding.

Behind him, he was followed by nearly a thousand samurai from Suishan.

All of them were dressed in tight-fitting suits, wearing rattan armor made of old Suishan rattan tanning, and pedaling straw shoes. His face was smeared with various patterns, and in the middle of the night, he looked like a hideous ghost. Gu Siman held a nine-foot-long dragon rod in his hand, and his hand was extremely heavy. This is a weapon made of Suishan's specialty of 100-year-old mountain vines, smeared with layers of tung oil, even if it is a divine weapon, it is difficult to hurt.

Hitting the body with this dragon stick can easily cripple people.

It had been more than ten years since the dragon had been used...... Back then, for the sake of the future of his children and grandchildren, he put down the dragon stick; Now, for his only bone and blood, he will once again pick up the dragon rod. The world is so ridiculous, it sounds a little absurd.

Time has passed little by little!

Gu Siman still patiently observed, waiting.

Some Suishan officials couldn't bear the sleepiness that came and dozed off vigorously. Fortunately, they have a special method to make the awakening grass of Suishan's specialty into sachet-like items and carry them around. It can't help but drive away drowsiness, and it can also drive away mosquitoes.

Gu Siman crushed a Awakening Grass, put his finger under his nose, inhaled hard, and suddenly became energetic.

It's almost dawn...... From the direction of Rongle City, a team of officers and soldiers came.

After exchanging orders with the patrolling officers and soldiers, the two officers greeted each other for a while, and then walked into Rongle Cang hand in hand.

The patrol officers and soldiers, as well as the officers and soldiers who changed guards, entered the warehouse city one after another.

Immediately after that, from Cangcheng, there was a sound of fighting, presumably gathering people and preparing to change guards.

Gu Si stood up with a snort, raised the dragon stick in his hand, and pointed in the direction of Rong Le Cang. In an instant, a large number of people stood up on the dark ground, running like flying, and quickly rushed towards the gate of Rongle Cang.

Since there is a change of guard going on in the city, there is no one guarding the gate.

Don't look at Gu Si's age, but he can run, and the speed is amazing.

Even many young wingmen can't keep up with the speed of the bones. One by one, I couldn't help but secretly admire: all the old people are really old and strong.

As he ran, Gu Siman pulled out a flute-like object from his waist and bit one end in his mouth.

Many of the wingmen learned the movements of the bones, biting the tubular objects into their mouths. This is a blow arrow that has been passed down from generation to generation. The blowguns of the servants contain poison that can kill people instantly; Most of the blowguns of the familiar bureaucrats use narcotic drugs.

From this point of view, the difference between raw and cooked wingmen is clearer.

Gu Siman took the lead and rushed into the gate of Rongle Cang. I saw many people standing in the open space in the middle of Cangcheng. Gu Siman didn't say a word, lifted a mouthful of dantian qi, blew hard, and a blow arrow flew out of the pipe, hitting a person's body.

But the man did not move.

At the same time, the wingmen behind Gu Siman issued blow arrows one after another, and then rushed forward with their weapons and slashed wildly.

There were no screams, no rivers of blood.

A puff of straw flew in the sky, and a wingman shouted in horror: "Old man, these are straw men." ”

Gu Si was so excited that he hurriedly put away his blowing arrows, and shouted loudly in the local language of the wingmen: "We have fallen for the trick of the Han family...... Retreat, hurry up and retreat! ”

But after entering Cangcheng, it is not so easy to get out.

I only heard the gate of Cangcheng creak and close. It turned out that the gate was not opened by manpower, but by a winch on the wall of Cangcheng to control the switch. As the gate closed, the silent Rongle Cang, the surrounding city wall suddenly lit up with firelight, and the voices of people were boiling.

A member of the Sui will stand on the tower of Cangmen City, with a helmet and armor, a robe and a belt, and a long knife in his hand.

"Du Lao, since you are here, why do you have to leave in such a hurry? Dou Rail, the county lieutenant of Ziyang County, has been waiting for the old man in this cangcheng. ”

In an instant, rows of archers appeared on the walls of Cangcheng on all sides.

The cold light of the weapon, exuding a cold and cold air, Gu Siman saw this situation, the dragon stick in his hand fell to the ground, depressed, sigh!
