I saw the four hounds shaking their heads and tails, and thought to myself, no matter how smart they are, they are just dogs, and if there are many Jinren, there must be a way to kill them. And now, these dogs not only retreated, but also looked like they had made great contributions, which shows that there are definitely not many golden people. Thinking of this, I feel confident. So he asked Erlang, "What, what does this dog mean?" ”

Before Erlang could say anything, Saburo said first, "King, they have already driven away those dog thieves." ”

When Li Ziming heard this, he arched his hand and said, "King, four dogs can drive away the Jin people, at first glance, there are few people, and the subordinates are willing to kill the Jin people for the king, and show the evil anger of our Song people for many years!" ”

When San Lang heard Li Ziming say this, he also arched his hand and said, "King, I am also willing!" ”

"Shut up!" Li Dang went up and gave San Lang a kick, and then said angrily, "The most important thing now is to escort the king back to the city, you two deflated calves, don't make trouble!" After speaking, he was still angry, and he wanted to kick Li Ziming again, but Li Ziming was quick-eyed, and immediately took a step back, making Li dare to kick the air.

Li Ziming gritted his teeth and said, "A year ago, my whole family died at the hands of gold thieves, if I hadn't hunted in the mountains at that time, I would definitely have died." A month ago, the gold thieves crossed Cizhou, and at that time they were outnumbered, and I was helpless. Today, just a few golden dogs, if I don't kill them, what's the point of me living! After saying that, he was probably indignant and hit his chest a few times with his fist.

San Lang nodded and said, "King, my uncle's house was also destroyed by the gold thief, and I have the same mind as Da Li!" ”

Li Dang shook his head and said, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." ”

Li Ziming was resentful, and said word by word, "If it goes on like this, I won't be able to live for ten years!" He then arched his hand to me, "My lord, I will go back to the camp alone to kill the gold thief, and you will lead your brothers back to the city." After killing the gold thief, I returned to Cizhou City by myself. ”

Zhang Sanlang glanced at Li Ziming, and also arched his hand to me, "King, I will go with Da Li, don't worry, as long as it is in the mountains, Da Li will not have anything to do!" ”

I couldn't laugh bitterly by the two of them, and said that I was very poorly disciplined, but I didn't expect to meet someone worse than me, so I stepped forward and hammered Li Ziming and Zhang Sanlang together, and said, "What are you two doing, it's too unorganized and undisciplined." Remember, you have a blood feud with the Jinren, and so does this king! This king's elder brother, King Su, was sent to the gold camp as a hostage a year ago, and now there is no news. The king's father, mother, wife, and daughter are all in Bianliang City, and their lives are in danger at any time. This king's hatred for the Jin people is no worse than yours! ”

When Li Ziming and Zhang Sanlang heard me say this, they also felt that they had gone too far, so they lowered their heads and stopped talking. Seeing this, I pointed to Qiu's big belly and said, "Qiu Shi, do you remember what this king told you before leaving?" ”

Qiu Da's belly was stunned at first, but when he saw me pointing to the lid of the pot he was holding, he remembered it and said, "Follow the king, there is meat to eat!" ”

I said in my heart that Qiu Da Belly is really worthy of being a good partner of this king, a good friend, and the cooperation is really tacit, and he stroked his palm and said, "That's right, follow me, there is meat to eat." Remember, you are following the king, so how can the king leave you and go first? At this, I paused to impress the two men even more, and then added, "What's more, you are all volunteers of the country now, and you are a soldier. Wherever you can come, you can go. ”

"The king forgives his sins", Li Ziming knelt on one knee and pleaded guilty. Zhang Sanlang did the same, and also knelt on one knee and asked for the guilt.

I pulled them up and said, "In this way, San Lang and Lin Xuesong, since the two of you can even hide from the deer, it should be no problem to hide a few golden people and reconnoiter the enemy's situation." The two of you will be scouts first, and learn more about how many golden people there are, where they are at this time, and what they are doing. This king is waiting for you here. ”

Li Ziming was stunned when he heard me say this, and opened his mouth, obviously to indicate that he was also going. I gestured to him not to say anything, and then said, "Li Ziming, the two of them are better at this, and you are more suitable for your work to be completed, so don't go." If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! ”

Li Dang sighed on the side, and said helplessly, "Since the king has already arranged it, I have nothing to say." Moreover, our war horses are still camping, at least to know the whereabouts of these war horses. I'll leave it to the two of you. After speaking, he paused, and said, "But even so, there is still a time limit, within an hour, if you don't come back, the king will have to return to Cizhou!" ”

Lin Xuesong arched his hand and said loudly, "Six quarters of an hour is enough!" ”

I instructed, "You two are just scouts, the key is to understand the enemy, don't be rash and startle the snake." ”

San Lang didn't seem to understand the meaning of my two idioms, and looked at me in confusion, and then at Lin Xuesong.

Seeing this, I added, "Don't let the dog thieves find out about you, let's put a long line and hang a big fish!" ”

San Lang understood this time, and immediately arched his hand, "Yes, King!" ”

San Lang Lin Xuesong and the two of them took the hunting dog to lead the way, only a few ropes and daggers, and left quickly.

The moon is high and the stars are scarce, the wind is strong and cold, I didn't feel anything just now, but now that it has calmed down, the hunting team is shivering from the cold. What's more, except for a few pieces of freshly baked venison leg meat that I just eat, everyone else has only eaten a few bites of baked bread from the morning to the present, and they are still hungry! Fortunately, Zhang Erlang used to make a large package for the shield, which contained a lot of cakes, Erlang took out the cakes, and one person divided a piece, he said, this is our dinner.

The Song Dynasty was a very wealthy dynasty, and the richness of Chinese history is probably second only to that of the modern era in which I live. Therefore, the soldiers' diet also included meat products - mince cakes. Beat the meat into a meat filling, then mix it with eggs, flour, add salt, peppercorns, put it in the stove to bake, and bake it until it is dry, which is the cake. However, since it is an ancient military ration, delicious food is the least important thing. Especially the mince cake, even in the Song Dynasty, meat products were a rare delicacy for the soldiers, in order to prevent the soldiers from eating secretly, and in order to supplement the salt, a large amount of salt was put in the preparation of the mince cake. Usually, it is a whole piece of baked cake with a mouthful of millet cake, and now it is directly let the hunting team eat the millet cake. It's salty, it's like falling into the Dead Sea.

I didn't suffer like this, I just ate a few pieces of meat, so I ate two bites and put it down. The other team members grinned at the salty bared teeth, but they were really cold and hungry, so they had to swallow by themselves, and they all looked like they had nothing to love.

After eating the bread, everyone sighed and sat together under the tree, waiting for Zhang Sanlang and Lin Xuesong to come back.

Sure enough, in less than six quarters of an hour, two people and two dogs rushed back. As soon as Zhang Sanlang saw me, he said angrily, "Those damn gold thieves also robbed my family's wine!" I'm going to kill them! ”

"What? Wine?! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Sanlang snorted angrily about what he and Lin Xuesong had just seen, "The little official also brought the cold arrows that the gold thief put over for us, so I let the hound smell it and quietly track it." When we were about to arrive at the camp, I and the petty officials were worried that they had fallen into the trap of the gold thief, so we made a detour and copied it from behind. ”

I nodded, and said in my heart that Zhang Sanlang and Lin Xuesong were really good, hot-blooded, but not blind.

"But," Zhang Sanlang said in an accentuated tone, "The gold thieves don't look down on us at all, I and the petty officials have counted two or three times, and there are a total of eight golden people with pigtails, but these few people, they don't set any traps, not even a sentry, so they roast the fire in our camp and eat the deer legs that the second brother didn't finish." Moreover, "After tossing for most of the day, Zhang Sanlang was also thirsty and hungry, he swallowed and foamed, and said, "The gold thieves should have robbed my family's wooden house and turned out all the mountain fruit wine brewed by my family in autumn, and they are eating meat and drinking wine in our camp!" ”

I listened to Saburo's description, and I was half angry, I sat by the tree and was cold, but a few golden people roasted our fire, ate our venison, and drank the pure natural mountain fruit wine that we didn't drink. Too arrogant, too eye-catching! I said angrily, "The sub-line is a mountain wolf, and the ambition is rampant. Okay, Saburo, let's kill them. ”
