Chapter 20: The Expedition
Before leaving, Shen Yue took the brothers Ping Dayong and Ping Dashan to Daqing Mountain to check the crops of the two fields, these corn and potatoes will be the treasures that will change the Ming Dynasty, and they cannot be ignored. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After more than two months of growth, the crops are already very strong and are expected to be harvested in just over a month. Now that the people who came to hunt for the treasure have left, and the mountain is safe, the purpose of this trip is to leave the two brothers behind to take care of this last period of time and ensure a smooth harvest. The two brothers, both simple peasant children, were very interested in these crops and had been competing for them for a long time.
Shen Yue explained to the two of them earnestly,
"Although the mountains are bitter, but these high-yield crops we planted will be used by future generations, with them, the people of the Ming Dynasty will no longer suffer from hunger, will no longer suffer from war, their importance is more than your life, we must take good care."
"Shen Dongjia rest assured, our brothers risked their lives to ensure that they harvest safely." Ping Dayong said excitedly.
Saying goodbye to the two, Shen Yue rode down the mountain, walked to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, slowly stopped, and said calmly: "The strong man has been following for so long, it's time to come out and show up." ”
Since entering the mountain, Shen Yue has noticed that there are masters following him, and since he has the Holy Flame Order, his spiritual power has been improved to a certain extent, and he can have a sensitive sense of the wind and grass around him.
Although there is a hidden weapon for self-defense, but he knows that he is difficult to be his opponent, but all kung fu masters, most of them will have the wind of chivalry and righteousness, just now Shen Yue's words to the Ping Dayong brothers, I also want to say it to the secret people, thinking that it will be more or less touched, then I can also deal with it.
"Are those crops really as amazing as you say?" A figure floated to the ground from the tree.
Hearing this question, Shen Yue was at ease, it seemed that it had an effect, and he turned to look at the person who came, it was actually one of the three elders of the old Ming Sect who was holding hostage at the beginning, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, I saw that he was dressed in a cyan suit, his eyebrows were like ink, his temples were like a knife, his face was sharp and angular, he was not smiling, and he had a chivalrous demeanor.
"Of course, this is my family's hardships and hardships to find it from thousands of miles abroad, and our family has almost suffered casualties for this. When I was displaced and hungry, I didn't dare to feed on it. This is not only the life of my family, but also the life of the world. Shen Yue said with pathos on his face.
Hearing Shen Yue's sad words, the person who came showed unbearable expression, and arched his hand: "Below is Ling Fei of the Quanzhen Sect, I bow to your high righteousness, but there is one thing, please explain." ”
Shen Yue saw that he identified himself, and what he said could also be seen to be a person who advocated chivalry, so he was no longer worried, what he wanted to ask was probably about the Holy Fire Order, and he still didn't deceive them at that time, but he didn't dare to find out, and replied, "What did the chivalrous man ask?" ”
"Since you have taken in the people of the Old Ming Sect, you must know about the Holy Fire Order, what are your intentions?"
"They are all lonely and helpless, and the big husband should hoe the strong and help the weak, shouldn't they help them? As for the Holy Fire Order, it is just some ridiculous rumor that has nothing to do with the world, and it is no match for the crops of my field. Shen Yue said righteously.
Seeing that Ling Fei was unmoved, Shen Yue thought to himself that this can't scare you, it seems that this master is also determined, and it is difficult to dismiss it with just a few words, so he said,
"Thanks to the person who claims to be the Quanzhen Sect, how noble and bright the Venerable Master Qiu Zhenren was back then, he went to the desert alone, and sincerely influenced Temujin to stop killing and loving the people, so that our people could survive, but I didn't expect that it was only a hundred years ago, and his descendants would do such a thing that violated morality, how could he be at ease under the Nine Springs!"
Hearing this, Ling Feicang pulled out his sword from the sheath with a sigh, pointed at Shen Yue and shouted, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”
Holding back the horror in his heart, Shen Yue pretended to be full of indifference, bared his chest and replied: "I want you to stab you with a sword, so that I can go to the underworld to meet Qiu Zhenren and ask him how to teach such a disciple!" ”
After a moment of stalemate, Ling Fei sighed and withdrew his sword. Turning around and walking away lonely, a sentence came: "We are not the only ones who are tracking down the Holy Flame Order, there is also a group of people who are more dangerous, you have to be careful when you go north, I will stay here and help the two people on the mountain take care of the crops." ”
Seeing Ling Fei leaving, Shen Yue let out a long breath, only to feel that his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. Presumably, the seven sons of Quanzhen have divided their troops to go north, chasing the group of Yuan soldiers who transported treasures, fortunately, this Ling Fei who left behind has no bad thoughts, otherwise there will inevitably be a fierce battle today.
This ancient man is not as hard-hearted as later generations, and it is estimated that his cynicism has made him discouraged, and he does not want to pursue it further, and it is reassuring to have him help secretly protect the crops. But what is the background of the other group of people he said before leaving? With doubts in his heart, Shen Yue returned to the county seat.
After three days of preparation, Shen Yue took Guan Xing and a few men on the road with the army, Gao Sheng stayed behind to take care of the business, because he was worried that someone would come to investigate, Liu Ruoshui also stayed to protect everyone.
Following Chang Mao to fight, Shen Yue was very confident in this victorious general. Listening to him, the Yuan army of Yunbao had been surrounded, but there were nearly 5,000 Yuan soldiers rushing to the rescue, and the situation was tense. He only took 3,000 soldiers and horses to intercept this trip, which made Shen Yue a little worried, but he didn't care when he saw Chang Mao talking and laughing on the way, and he admired him again.
"Brother Shen's book is really enjoyable, it makes me want to rob the Yuan Dog of Yunbao, and then buy some big boats, and let's take the brothers to the sea to make a fortune, wouldn't it be much more comfortable than now." Chang Mao came up with the new version of Journey to the West and said with a smile to Shen Yue.
Seeing him walking and watching on the horse all the way, Shen Yue couldn't help but suspect that the commentaries he had heard were too fake, and he didn't know what bad water he was holding in his heart to deal with Yuan Jun.
Seeing Shen Yue's hesitation, Chang Mao took out a pot of wine from his backpack, took a sip and said with a smile: "Brother Shen is an expert in business, looking at your backpack, it is practical and convenient, and it has helped us a lot on the march." But when it comes to fighting, you're a layman, and watch me sweep them up. ”
After marching for ten days, Shen Yue estimated that he was close to the junction of Inner Mongolia and Northeast Liaoning in the future, where the terrain was steep and the main road was guarded, it was indeed a good position for ambushing troops to resist the enemy, no wonder Chang Mao dared to do more with less.
At this time, the Malay newspaper was three days away from the east, and the Ming army had besieged the Yunbao Yuan soldiers in a mountain range, but they were in danger and defended, and it was difficult to capture it for a while, and the Yuan army of the other way of rescue came in the north, and there were more than 100 miles away from here, and it was estimated that they could meet tomorrow.
Chang Mao instructed his generals, "Don't set up a camp today, first send 500 soldiers to dig a trench on the march road in the valley, and lead 1,000 people to ambush on the mountainside in front, let's wait for them to escape at the mouth of the valley and then fight." This group of Yuan troops rushed to the rescue, and they will not wait until tomorrow, they will definitely avoid us in the starry night. And they were commanded to go down and make arrangements.
Turning to look at Shen Yue, Chang Mao snickered: "Brother Shen, take out the housekeeper too, we don't have many people, so we rely on your support." ”
Shen Yue saw that he was well-planned, and he didn't hide his secrets, so he showed the things on the carriage to Chang Mao and said: "This is an improved thunderbolt, which does not need to be ignited and thrown, but buried in the ground, pulled by a fuse, and can be controlled a hundred feet away, and detonated at any time, so it is also known as a mine." ”
