Chapter 12 The Tiger's Den is Fierce

Seeing this big flag, Ruda's heart suddenly tightened, he had seen the same flag.

Indeed, Ruda had seen this flag with vultures, and although it was not as big as the flag in front of him, the colors and patterns on it were exactly the same.

That is the day when Luda's team escorting grain and grass was ambushed in Jiagou, Luda got under the cart, dodged the rain of arrows, and suddenly looked up and saw such a flag erected on the top of the opposite mountain, although it was only a glance, although it was only a glance, but it was firmly imprinted in Luda's mind.

Yes, it's the same flag, they should belong to the same tribe.

It seems that he has come to the right place, Ruda said secretly in his heart.

Luda turned back, walked into the Pinchunlou teahouse, asked for a pot of brick tea drunk by the Xixia people, and sat opposite an old man from the Xixia with a plate of dim sum.

The reason why he came here was that he had heard people say that teahouses, hotels, and places where he talked and sang songs were the best places to inquire about news. Because the people here come from far and wide, and the sources are extensive and accurate.

Although all the gossip is spread here, the gossip is often accurate.

Ruda ate a piece of snack, picked up the tea bowl, and slowly tasted the tea. He saw that there was only one teapot on the old man opposite, so he asked the shopkeeper to put a plate of dim sum in front of the old man and said, "Uncle, please taste it slowly." ”

The old man thanked him: "Don't you want to go." ”

Luda said: "It's nothing, when you go out, meeting is fate." This is the fate of our masters. ”

The old man said: "You're polite, you're polite, young people are warm-hearted." ”

The two drank tea, ate snacks, and chatted about family life.

After chatting for a while, Ruda deliberately asked casually: "Uncle, I saw a flag floating on the flagpole when I passed by over there just now." ”

The old man said, "You mean the big flag with vultures embroidered on it?" ”

Ruda said: "Yes, but the strange thing is that the general flag is embroidered with a flying dragon or a flying tiger or something, how can it be embroidered with an ugly vulture." ”

The old man laughed and said, "Little brother, at first glance, you are a foreigner, and I don't know what is in it." ”

The old man opened the conversation: "Speaking of this banner, it is the sign of a tribe of ours here, this tribe used to be called the Eagle Clan, and they live in the depths of the desert. ”

The old man took a sip of tea and then said: "When our Great Western Xia King Yuanhao opened up the territory and fought to claim the king, he subdued this tribe, and they obeyed the orders of the Great Western Xia King and changed their name to the Black Eagle Army. In the past, he had been guarding the border area, and he only came to Yongzhou City last winter. ”

Ruda asked, "So, where was this Black Vulture Army in the past?" ”

The old man touched his beard and pretended to think for a while and said, "Oh, it is said to be in the Wuguan area." ”

Hearing this, Ruda couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, damn, it's really right.

At this time, the old man said again: "Speaking of the Black Eagle Army, I have to talk about the commander of the Black Eagle Army, that is a first-class hero of our Western Xia Kingdom, who can pull out the mountain and carry the tripod, especially the red steel scimitar in his hand, sharpening iron like mud, extremely sharp, playing like lightning and thunder, and it is difficult for a hundred and ten heroes to get close. ”

Luda asked again: "I heard that this black vulture army also robbed the grain and grass of the Great Song Dynasty last spring, which really increased the prestige of our Western Xia Kingdom. ”

The old man reached out and picked up a snack and chewed it slowly, then took another sip of tea, and said with a look of knowing everything in the world: "There is such a thing, but this is a trivial matter, and the black barbarian general disdains it." ”

Ruda asked, "Who did that?" ”

The old man said: "It was a thousand commanders named Cheng Wolf under the general who led the men and horses to do it. ”

Ruda said goodbye to the old man and decided to find the commander named Cheng Wolf first.

There was no wind tonight, and the sky was covered by overcast dark clouds, making the night even darker.

In the dark, Ruda cautiously touched the row of large tents in the north of the city. When he arrived nearby, because he didn't know the situation inside, Ruda didn't dare to rush in, so he had to hide in the dark and observe carefully, waiting for the opportunity.

Waiting until the third watch, a man came out of a tent, this guy yawned on his back and stretched, then turned to the grove behind the tent, took off his pants and squatted down.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Ruda quietly touched it, stretched out his big hand and grabbed the guy's neck, dragging him into the woods.

Ruda let go of the hand that was holding the guy's neck and said sharply, "Don't scream, or I'll strangle you." The guy knelt on the ground and said like pounding garlic: "Uncle spare your life, uncle spare your life." ”

Ruda asked in a low voice, "Say, that wolf commander is there." ”

The guy looked up and looked at Ruda with a look in his eyes that he didn't know what to say.

Ruda was secretly amused in his heart, it turned out that he had asked the wrong question: "Oh, I was asking where the commander named Cheng Wolf was." ”

This time the guy understood, stretched out his finger and pointed to a tent not far away and said, "It's in that little tent." ”

Ruda strained both hands and snapped his neck.

Ruda came to the tent, and saw that the light was still shining in the gap in the curtain that blocked the door, so he quietly looked in through the gap, and the commander of the thousand was sitting on the carpet, holding a woman in Western Xia clothes in one hand, drinking and having fun.

Ruda stood up and lifted the curtain and slammed in.

The three people in the tent looked up, and an uninvited guest seemed to fall from the sky, standing in front of him with angry eyes, and the two women were frightened, "Mom." With a strange scream, he fainted and fell to the ground.

After all, Cheng Wolf is a long-term battle-hardened commander, and he didn't panic much, I saw him jump, dodging the iron fist that Ruda waved head-on, grabbed the scimitar hanging on the tent wall, and slashed at the top of Luda's head, Luda turned sharply, stretched out his palm, and cut it on the wrist of the adult wolf holding the knife like a blade, Cheng Wolf threw down the knife, held his wrist, and looked at Ruda with his teeth grinning.

Luda snatched the scimitar and rested it on the neck of the adult wolf: "Say, did you bring the matter of ambushing the Great Song Dynasty escort grain and grass convoy in Jiagou last year?" ”

Cheng Wolf nodded with a blushing face.

Luda asked again: "How do you know the time and route of the Great Song escort team?" ”

Cheng Wolf opened his mouth in mourning and did not speak.

Luda's wrist pressed down hard, and the scimitar blade that was pressed on the neck of the adult wolf went a few points deeper, oozing blood, and the painful adult wolf twitched his face a few times, and he couldn't care about the good man and said: "I really don't know, I just obeyed the orders of the black barbarian general to carry it out." ”

At this moment, the two fainting Western Xia women woke up, and when they saw someone holding a knife on their husband's neck, they opened their voices and screamed, "Come on, there are assassins." ”

Luda was stunned when he heard this, and at this moment, Cheng Wolf grabbed a bow and swung it at Luda, like a blade-like bowstring, and slashed towards Luda's neck, Luda bent his waist to the back, and used the kung fu of a golden stake and iron plate bridge to dodge this fatal blow, Cheng Wolf couldn't hold his foot, and pounced from Luda's body, Luda stabbed the scimitar in his hand into the belly of Cheng Wolf, and suddenly the guy's intestines, heart and liver flowed to the ground, and he was killed!

At this time, the people in the other tents, hearing the shouting, rushed over with weapons, and Luda grabbed the lamp bowl and set fire to the tent, and then used a scimitar to cut a big hole in the tent, and jumped out from there, while the Tanguts were busy fighting the fire, and disappeared into the vast night.

Taking advantage of the night, Luda walked through the streets and alleys, quietly touched back to Hongbinxuan, and in the middle of the night, he was more afraid of alarming everyone, so he had to climb over the wall, slowly came downstairs, jumped up to the second floor, and gently knocked on the window frame of the guest room with his hand and shouted softly: "Lu Wu, quickly open the window and let me in." ”

Lu Wu was lying on the bed frightened, as soon as he heard the voice of his own young master, he turned over and got up, his shoes were also worn, he ran over to open the window barefoot, Luda pressed the windowsill with both hands, jumped into the guest room, grabbed the kettle on the table, drank a few big mouthfuls of water, wiped his mouth with his hand and said to Lu Wu: "Sleep." "He collapsed on the bed.

Lu Wu pushed him with his hand and said, "Young Master, you ran there in the middle of the night." ”

Suddenly, Lu Wu felt that his hand was sticky, as if something was sticky, he put his hand under his nose and smelled it, a smell of blood rushed straight to his head, and Lu Wu almost didn't vomit out the meal he ate at night: "Mom, young master, why are you sticky with blood?" ”

Luda covered Lu Wu's mouth and said, "Don't make a sound, be careful to wake up others." ”

Lu Wu asked, "You went there and got blood all over your body." ”

Ruda touched the black edge and changed his clothes and said, "Kill people." ”

Lu Wudao: "Young master, don't scare me." ”

Luda said: "I didn't joke with you, I really killed someone." ”

Lu Wudao: "Who did you kill, is it a good person or a bad person?" ”

Ruda said: "Can I kill good people, of course I kill bad people." It was the Western Xia officers who were killed. ”

Lu Wu said: "Then why didn't you say it during the day?" ”

Luda said: "I'm afraid it will scare you." ”

Lu Wu patted his chest and said, "Young master, I'm not so timid, you forget, I, Lu Wu, am also a practitioner." ”

Ruda said, "Don't mention the tricks we used to practice. ”

Lu Wu asked, "Young Master, why did you kill the Xixia people without injustice or hatred." ”

Luda said hatefully: "How can there be no injustice and no hatred? Then he told Lu Wu the ins and outs of the matter. Lu Wuzhi, who was listening, stuck out his tongue, smacked his lips and stretched out his thumb and said, "Young master, it's amazing." A man dares to break into the camp. ”

Luda said: "What is this, there is no revenge and no gentleman." ”

Lu Wu smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." From a young age, I could see that you weren't your average cannon. ”

Ruda smiled and kicked him and said, "Stay there and don't brag there." ”

Ruda looked at the light in the window and said, "It's almost dawn, let's get some sleep quickly." ”

The two slept until noon.

No one expected that six or seven hours had passed since last night, and it was as if nothing had happened in Yongzhou City, and everything was still as calm as usual.

So why didn't the garrison of Western Xia carry out a large-scale manhunt in Yongzhou City?

It turned out that last night, the black barbarian general received a report, and felt that a dignified commander of the black vulture army had been disemboweled in his own heavily guarded barracks, which was a great shame for himself, and according to the black barbarian's idea, the assassin had already sneaked out of the city overnight after killing people, so he could stay in the city and wait for someone to arrest him, so the black barbarian general personally waved his knife and cut off the head of the captain of the wolf's own army, and warned his officers and soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, and this sudden incident was over.

At noon, Luda woke up from a deep sleep, feeling particularly happy, he woke up Lu Wu, the two came downstairs, ordered a table of good wine, good food, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank freely.

Lu Wu sang while eating and drinking: "Our people, I'm so happy today." ”

Luda glared at him fiercely, and Lu Wu closed his mouth.

After the two of them were full and drunk, Luda said to Lu Wu: "You go back to the upstairs guest room first, and I'll go to the market to explore the wind." ”

Lu Wu said: "Young master, you are always alone, and you don't have anyone to take care of, so let's go together." ”

Luda stretched out his hand and patted Lu Wu's back and said, "You follow, it's me who takes care of me, or I take care of you." ”

Lu Wu went back to the guest room with an unhappy face.
