Chapter 203: Wu Ling Man
An old kettle, a pot of rice porridge, thick rice milk is bubbling and simmering, and there are roasted pheasants and grilled fish next to the fire, which is a breakfast for three people. 【,□.2□3x.netbsp; The morning mist was blown away, far from the mountains and forests of Wuling, and it was impossible to tell where you were, and the warm climate and lush tropical jungle indicated that it should be somewhere in the woods between South Vietnam and Southwest Yi.
Cao Shi once walked through the southwest, but he walked along the highway like a horse, did not cross the mountains and mountains, and occasionally slept in the open air, far less wolf than now.
Liu Lingqing has lost a lot, he can't eat well and sleep unsteadily in the wild, if it weren't for the fact that the two men each have their own ways to repel insects and beasts, the delicate and expensive Weng Lord would have no chance to imagine an ordinary mountain woman trekking through mountains and rivers.
The water in the kettle is steamed dry, and the thick rice soup turns into fragrant rice.
The trio began to enjoy their first meal of the morning.
"I heard you say that Champa rice is very precious, and it can be harvested after three months if you sow it in the ground, will it be wasted if you use it to cook porridge and eat it?"
"The high temperature and high humidity grain seeds here are not easy to preserve, and if you don't eat rice, it will deteriorate, we just know that there is rice in South Vietnam, and then we will grab it."
Liu Ling rolled his eyes: "What are you going to rob?" Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, did not seem to be of the same generation. ”
"Haha, of course I led the army to rob it."
"Do you want to fight South Vietnam?"
"Of course, if you want to fight the South Vietnamese country, if you chase us and don't avenge the heavens and the earth, won't I be a chariot general in vain."
Liu Lingxiu raised his eyebrows: "You seem to have said that you will be transferred to the general of the chariot cavalry, but Chang'an is thousands of miles away." It is not easy to fight the South Vietnamese country, so beware that you have made a second Tu Sui. ”
"Don't worry......"
Suddenly, Wang Meng dropped the old cauldron and stood up: "There seems to be a strange movement over there." ”
"It must be Ding Gong catching up, drop your things and leave quickly!"
The figures of the three of them quickly disappeared into the jungle, and in a short time, dozens of figures emerged from the woods on the other side.
Walked to the extinguished fire, picked up the broken clay bowl and looked at it, rubbing it lightly on the edge of the bowl and feeling warm.
Several of the Assassins kicked the fire away, and the charcoal mixed with sparks flew wild, scorching to the soles of the Assassins' shoes. Several people retreated at the same time.
"They just left not long ago. A quarter of an hour ago, I sat here to eat. ”
"The three of them sat on a stake and left in a hurry, taking only the bedding with them. Kitchenware was discarded. ”
The reason why the Assassins are called Assassins. lies in the extraordinary ability of raid assassination. Swordsmanship is only a skill used to assassinate, in addition to being proficient in tracking technology, stalking and chasing people is an ancestral craft. The means of assassination have also changed a lot compared to the Jing Ke era.
The Assassins were very excited, they did not rush to chase down, but waited quietly, followed for several months, covering more than a thousand miles, and the three traces that escaped here were finally bitten by the Assassins.
Ding Gong walked slowly from the woods, and the Assassin Leader took it upon himself to pursue the escapees.
"Found it?"
"They were heading west, about two quarters of an hour apart."
Ding Gong sneered: "It's really brainless, just recognize the northwest and west to escape, and I will be caught sooner or later if I escape." ”
"That's Master's clever plan, the north side will be handed over to the South Vietnamese soldiers to guard, and we will pursue it personally."
Ding Gong frowned: "Gossip less, hurry up and catch up with the three of them, especially that Cao Shi can't get away, the request put forward by Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, is to catch Cao Shi, so that he is qualified to let the son of the Han family throw a mouse taboo, and only then will he have the opportunity to unite with Wei's North Korea, and the northern Xiongnu will join forces to control the Han. ”
"Whoa!"
Two hours.
Only two short hours have passed, Cao Shi was surrounded again, and Liu Ling walked too slowly.
Even if Liu Ling's skills are more vigorous and more abundant than a month ago, it still can't change the fact that she is a woman, and a woman's physical fitness and degree are not as good as a man.
If she hadn't been too hasty, there would be no pressure to walk all day with her physical fitness, and the more she chased after her, the stricter Liu Ling's body would have lost, and her pace would have become slower after walking more than 30 miles of mountain roads in two hours.
"This is your naivety, in the face of the threat of death, you are still not far away from giving up your companions, the kindness of a woman is your greatest weakness, you can't harden your heart, and you will never be able to do great things if you care about kindness and loyalty." Ding Gong said: "General Che Cai, I will make you put down your senseless resistance and surrender immediately." ”
"What happens if I choose to say no? Liu Ling, the daughter of the king of Huainan, will your apprentice Wang Meng be hurt? ”
Ding Gong glanced at the two of them, and said expressionlessly: "The king of Huainan is finished, the identity of the princess of Huainan is not worth mentioning, Wang Meng is one of the more outstanding among my many apprentices, but the old man doesn't care, you can cultivate the second if you can cultivate the first, and the old man doesn't mind using their deaths to warn you not to act rashly." ”
Liu Ling's face changed drastically, she thought of a lot of terrible results, with Ding Gong's ruthless intentions, she was fully capable of killing the Huainan Palace, she was very afraid.
Wang Meng gritted his teeth secretly, and the crossbow with two hands was aimed at his head, needless to say, it must have been a military contraband obtained from the king of Nanyue, the threat of crossbow arrows was far greater than that of swordsmanship, so he had to stand still and not move.
Cao Shi stood with a war bow in his hand: "I have reason to be sure that your sincerity is insufficient, putting down your weapon will lead my companion to die immediately, and my bow and arrow will always aim at your head. You can try to see if I die first or you die. ”
Ding Gong held down the angry assassin and looked coldly at the young man in front of him, young, strong, and powerful, with a strong bow that kills six buckets with one stone, and his riding skills are exquisite, except for the swordsmanship and knife skills are slightly poor, almost impeccable, and there is Gao Suzhì of a professional soldier scattered around his body.
If it weren't for the unintentional calculation and sending hundreds of people to besiege and sneak attack, the 800 assassins under Ding Gong would not have the slightest understanding, this is the difference between professional soldiers and professional assassins.
The most powerful assassins have evolved from stealthy murder to upright murder. Among them, Ju Xin and Ji Xin are representative figures.
He lacks great skills, and it is not worth mentioning that he has practiced a few secret techniques of killing, and before your sword is handed over, other people's bows and arrows will kill him, and he cannot be regarded as the top assassin, because he is conformist and has no achievements.
Ding Gong hesitated.
Cao Shi noticed a slight change: "I can make a deal with you, about the transaction of the relics of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu." ”
Ding Gong was furious: "Nonsense! What is the legacy of the overlord? You don't want to divert your attention! ”
"Just listen to me, I want Xiang Yu to burn Xianyang back then, and the endless treasures that were plundered from Xianyang Palace, those treasures were reluctantly owned by Liu Bang, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty. It was transported by Xiang Yu to Pengcheng for storage. Those treasures were piled up enough to submerge Pengcheng, but it is amazing that those treasures were not seen during the Chu-Han War, where do you say those treasures went? ”
"Fart! I've never heard of any treasure, don't be foolish! ”
"You must remember Zhong Lifu. His second son, Zhongli, is still alive. You should have heard him talk about the treasures of Pengcheng. Perhaps Xiang Yu had long realized that the Chu-Han War would end in defeat, and that qiē was the introduction when Fan Zeng left, if the battle of Qixia had not been so miserable. Xiang Yu would definitely cross Jiangdong south and fight to the death with Liu Bang, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, so the treasure was sent to Jiangdong to travel south, perhaps somewhere in Nanyue and Southwest Yi. ”
Ding Gong said with a gloomy face: "Nonsense! Are you just talking about these things? The old man didn't believe it. ”
Cao Shi said with a smile: "You can not believe it, your subordinates may not believe it, the treasures of the Qin State are worth hundreds of billions of money, with this money can make everyone live a good life, they can take refuge overseas and settle down in peace, or they can imitate Zhao Tuo and create a small indigenous country to be an indigenous vassal king, can they resist the temptation?" ”
Ding Gong looked left and right, and was surprised to find that the assassins hesitated.
The legend of the relics of the overlord of Chu has long been spread, when the Han army broke Pengcheng and plundered some of the property, but the number is not as much as Liu Bang saw in Xianyang, where the treasure went is always a question, from Han Xin was degraded, Yingbu was killed, the Han army had several times the southern countries disappeared, Xiangguo Cao Shen thought that the treasure of the Chu army was used to exchange military funds and grain to start the war, so the matter of the treasure was stopped.
But the folk legend did not end there, but spread more and more as time passed, and all kinds of bizarre claims made it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
Similar stories especially in the south of the Yangtze River, the two Huai and the place of the old Chu spread the most, this area happens to be the base of the Chu overlord Xiang Yu, when the Chu army entered Xianyang, and then was captured by the Han army and released the old man is still in the world, they have seen the treasure of Xianyang with their own eyes, they personally escorted the treasure back to Pengcheng, after the end of the war the treasure suddenly disappeared most of the treasure, there is no doubt in the heart that there is a ghost.
A smile appeared on Cao Shi's face: "Imagine the mountains of treasures disappearing overnight, where did they go?" Even if they are exchanged for a large amount of grain and armaments, gold, silver and jewelry will eventually be sent to the market and gradually circulated, but what was the situation in the early Han Dynasty? Taizu Liu Bang's imperial driver could not find four war horses of the same color, the poverty of the early Han Dynasty was incredible, much worse than the end of the Qin Dynasty, maybe Taizu Liu Bang often fought, but the Qin army moved fewer wars? The Qin people have money, but the Han people don't have money, where do you say the money went? ”
Ding Gong hesitated.
He was very confused, the treasure of the overlord of Chu is a puzzle, just like the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is full of various legends, it is rumored that the tomb of the king of Qin is a mountain of gold, mercury is the sea, and there are countless gold, silver and jewelry, many people in Lishan swear an oath, but no one will go to the mausoleum to rummage through the things of the dead, it cannot be verified and cannot be verified, and the same is true of the treasure of the overlord of Chu.
Whoosh!
More than a dozen arrows suddenly appeared in the dense forest, and the sluggish assassin was shot down on the spot.
"Beware of enemy attacks!"
I saw more than 20 sturdy men out of the woods, the strong men with the head were burly, holding longbows and tattooed mountain people on the left and right, and they seemed to be dressed as a certain tribe of Jingman.
"Han, we're here to save you."
Cao Shi fixed his eyes and said with a smile: "You are the Wuling Barbarian Tribe, and you are finally here after waiting for you for so long!" ”
"You...... You're lying to me! Deliberately procrastinating for time! ”
"I'm just delaying time to deceive you, what can you do with me?"
Ding Gong was furious.
The assassins who hid in the four fields immediately came out, and seventy or eighty assassins and the Wuling barbarians were killed, and the Wuling barbarians were not manpowered, and they gradually could not withstand the attack, and they led out the roars of the beasts, and similar cries were heard in the mountains and forests in the distance.
"Han people hurry up, our barbarian people will come to support you immediately, and the generals of your Han army are also coming, I am short of manpower to retreat first."
Wu Lingman turned around and ran.
Cao Shi saw that it was not good, so he pulled up Liu Ling and drilled into the woods, and secretly scolded Wu Ling in his heart for being unreliable. (To be continued!)
