~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tiger is as strong as the threshold, the Songyue is majestic, standing on the top of the mountain, as far as the eye can see, the sea of clouds is steaming, the Yellow River is like a belt, which makes people feel great. However, not everyone thinks so.

Among the branches and leaves of the three densely foliage old pine trees dozens of paces apart from each other on the top of the mountain, there is a crossbow archer hidden in each. The three archers are dressed in a blue kudzu coat similar to pine needles, with a green scarf wrapped around their heads, one holding a bow and two holding a crossbow. The face of the bearer of the bow is very different from that of the Central Plains, with thick and long arms, and he is obviously a Hun archer. The other two crossbowmen have strong bodies and strong muscles and bones, and the crossbows they hold are rare rhubarb crossbows in the army, with a bow force of seven stones.

The Huns' marksmanship, the wrestler's giant crossbow, the position is triangular, and the killing array is killed. Such three people are invisible in the bushes, giving people the first impression that they must be assassins. But here is a desperate mountain, the mountain is steep and the road is dangerous, and there is no scenery to see, who would be so bored to climb up and find death?

The answer came half an hour later.

When the black spot appeared on the edge of the sky, the three ambushers, who had been squatting on the top of the tree for most of the day and had almost been dried by the air, finally let out a long cry of liberation, quickly rubbed their stiff faces, moved their hands and feet, picked up their bows and crossbows, and drew arrows to take arrows.

The black dot came very quickly, and it became clearer and clearer—I saw it clearly, it was Shinying! The letter eagle fed by the eagle eye of the dragon wolf army!

The three ambushers each drew their crossbows, and the arrows flickered with cold light. Aim at the eagle that is getting closer and closer.

It turned out that they were not ambushing people, but eagles.

The eagle spreads its wings and soars for thousands of miles. The flight altitude is beyond the reach of ordinary bows and arrows, and the flight speed is beyond the reach of ordinary archers. Therefore, these three people climbed to the peak of the absolute leader, greatly shortened the firing range, and used a hard bow and strong crossbow, and the range and lethality were not ordinarily strong. On top of that, they're all top-notch shooters, and they're three. and set up a triangular array that will kill you. And most importantly, their ambush site was tracked and observed for two months. The path that the eagle must pass through is determined.

It is true that the sky is high and the birds can fly, but in fact, the tamed birds, including the letter eagle, also have a certain trajectory route in their flight, and they are not flying at will. As long as you have the heart to observe. It will always find its flight pattern. And start with a targeted approach.

If a person is determined to deal with animals, let alone flying eagles, even flying tigers will not escape the poison.

When the ignorant eagle flew past the side of the mountain as usual, it tensed, three fierce strings sounded, and three sharp arrows came with a sharp roar.

Laugh at! An arrow flew by grazing its wings, narrowly missing.

Shout! An arrow swept past the belly of the eagle. Take a few feathers flying.

Burst! One arrow hit the eagle's leg, and it was done!

The eagle let out a screech. Planted down the mountain with a spin. In the process of planting, Shinying still tried to flap its wings and fly, but finally fell from a height of thousands of feet due to the pain.

An hour later, three ambushers appeared in a courtyard outside Xingyang City, and presented the dead eagle and the letter box untied from the eagle's leg to a young scribe in his early twenties, with strange facial features and a sparkling wisdom in his eyes.

The young man carefully inspected the fire paint on the letterbox, confirmed that it was intact, nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the dead eagle, and said, "The one who kills the eagle will receive a hundred gold; Those who are co-followers will receive ten gold. Go ahead. ”

The three of them knelt down and thanked them, and left with a thousand thanks.

The young man used a knife to remove the lacquer seal, poured out a roll of fine paper, and unfolded it, about a finger width and half a palm length. As soon as he saw the completely incomprehensible words on the secret letter, the young man smiled: "Sure enough, this is Hawkeye's secret words." The person who came up with this is really talented. "Put down the secret letter and clap your palms.

A request sounded outside the door: "What do you have to say?" ”

"Call Ding Jia."

After a while, a middle-aged man in his thirties appeared at the foot of the stairs, respectfully waiting for his order.

The young man wrote the secret letter on a small piece of paper, and handed the small paper to a man named Ding Jia: "Ask your brother to translate this letter, and give you a reward of ten gold per word." ”

Ding Jia looked surprised and ecstatic, there are at least three or four crosses on this paper, which is hundreds of gold! With such a large amount of money, it is enough to buy more than ten hectares of fertile land in Luoyang, buy a manor, and become a small landlord.

The young man stared at Ding Jia coldly: "No matter what method you use, you must make sure that your brother translates the letter." If you can't, don't go under my door...... Got it? ”

Ding Jia said in a panic: "Yes, yes, Ding Jia will definitely not disappoint Zhong Gongzi." ”

……

Three days later, Yongheli, Luoyang, Liu Ai's mansion.

In the backyard hall, Liu Ai was wearing a wide robe, holding jade Ruyi, elegant manners, talking and laughing. And his guests, there is only one.

Liu Ai was sighing with emotion at this time: "Boda, I think back then, I was an official in the same dynasty as Jiangong, I was Zhonglang, and Jiangong was Jingzhaoyin." At that time, I was the same age as Brother Ling, and Jiangong was about the same age as you...... In a blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, I know the destiny of heaven, and Jiangong is also dying, it is really a snap of the fingers......"

The guest was a man in his early thirties, tall and thin, with a handsome face, and he saluted when he heard the words: "My father once counted his old friends in Luoyang, and the most admired person was Liu Gong." ”

Although he knew that he was suspected of exaggeration, Liu Ai was still very useful in his heart, and laughed loudly.

At this time, a servant approached the bottom of the stairs and bowed down to report: "Master of the family, Mr. Sima is here." ”

Liu Ai laughed even louder: "As soon as I talked about him, people came, please." ”

After a while, under the guidance of the servant, the young man appeared in front of Liu Ai and saluted respectfully: "Hanoi Sima Yi, meet Liu Gong." ”

Liu Ai raised his hand and said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have to be polite, and he is at the same table with Brother Ling." ”

Well, these two brothers are the eldest and second in Hanoi's "Sima Bada": Sima Lang and Sima Yi.

Sima Lang is over thirty years old, but Sima Yi, the second in line, is only in his early twenties, and the difference between brothers is more than ten years old, which is also rare. The two brothers were both in September of the fifth year of Jian'an, at the invitation of Liu Ai, to cross south to enter the Yushi platform. for Liu Ai's staff. Sima Lang is old and serious, Sima Yi is wise and wise, just half a year. It is deeply valued by Liu Ai.

If Ma Han was still in Luoyang and learned that the Sima brothers were working for Liu Ai, he would definitely take two actions: either the Sima brothers, or at least Sima Yi, would be taken under his command; or secretly use means to make Sima Yi evaporate from the world. In short, this dangerous person will never be allowed to get out of control, but unfortunately......

Liu Ai originally had a banquet with Sima Lang with laughter, but after meeting Sima Yi. was also happy, but seeing Sima Yi's serious expression, he gradually couldn't laugh.

Brothers know each other better. As soon as his brother entered the door, Sima Lang already felt that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "Zhongda, why did you just come back from Xingyang." That's it? What's wrong with that? ”

Sima Yi said slowly: "I have ordered the three guests under the door to shoot down the letter eagle with the eyes of the dragon wolf and eagle. ”

Liu Ai was shocked: "What." You...... It turns out that a few days ago, you asked for the Great Yellow Crossbow in the arsenal just to ...... Alas! Zhongda, you are too reckless, the eagle of Hawkeye is numbered, so rashly killing it will definitely alarm Hawkeye, you don't know how powerful these people are......"

Sima Yi said calmly: "The name of Eagle Eye, Yi has also heard a lot in Hanoi. Now that you have done it, you will naturally clean up your hands. Yi had already found a reliable leader. For Songshan Orion. The eagle's eye followed the trail, and this hunter would be the first to blame, admitting that he had shot the eagle by mistake. The letter box and the secret letter have been handed over to him to deal with, and the painter has been asked to reseal the paint, everything is not unusual, Liu Gong, but please rest assured. ”

When Liu Ai heard this, he was a little relieved, but he was still displeased with Sima Yi's reckless move.

Sima Lang hurriedly diverted Liu Ai's attention and said, "Zhongda, what is written on the secret letter?" ”

Sima Yi said honestly: "The secret letters are all written in secret language, and there is no Hawkeye's exclusive codebook, which is deciphered in a special way, and outsiders can't guess a word." "Then present a copy of the transcription.

Liu Ai and Sima Lang watched it one after another, but the results were all wide-eyed and small-eyed, and the two well-educated people who were full of wealth and wealth couldn't connect a single word, and they all sighed at the precision of the eagle's eye.

Liu Ai sighed: "In this way, even if it is useless to get a secret letter, in fact, I should have known it a long time ago." If the secret is leaked so easily, how can the Dragon Wolf Army use it for military intelligence transmission on the battlefield? ”

Sima Yi smiled secretly: "Otherwise, although we don't know the secret language, there are people in this sun." ”

Sima Lang was pleasantly surprised: "Really? There is such a great talent...... Ah, ......"

Sima Yi smiled and nodded: "Brother guessed well, exactly." ”

Brothers know each other, and they know each other. Liu Ai also suddenly said: "Zhong Da can actually put his hand into the eagle eye?" ”

Sima Yi said humbly: "It's just luck, Yi's guests, there is a Ding Jia, and his brother Ding Yi is an eagle-eyed assistant." ”

Liu Ai was overjoyed: "In this way, Zhong Dading has been deciphered, so where is the translated letter?" ”

Sima Yi sighed: "It's a pity, according to Na Ding Yi, this secret letter is the highest level of letter, and two people need to hold the upper and lower codebooks and cross the translation. Ding Yi can only translate half of the content intermittently, and the other person can't buy it no matter what...... However, even if it is only half, it is enough to shock the world. ”

Sima Yi said and handed over a piece of paper.

Liu Ai took it, and when he looked at it, his face changed.

This translation is completely copied in the format of a secret document, and some words are completely incomprehensible, which is what Ding Yi cannot translate, and the intermittent words and sentences piece together the thrilling content.

“…… Beam...... Mi, Pei Wang...... Dong ping...... Obstruction...... If the general has not returned, don't let him ......"

The content is intermittent, shocking, reminiscent of yesterday's court meeting in front of the palace, and the missing content can be guessed and completed. Although I can't translate who the recipient is, I want to know that Liang Guo, Peiguo, and Dongping are all in Yan and Henan, and they are all under the control of that person.

The content of yesterday's court discussion, everyone swore in front of the spiritual position of the Son of Heaven not to leak it, Liu Ai believes that neither Sima Yi nor that Ding Yi can know. It's just that after Ding Yi translates it, he may not be able to see anything, but with Sima Yi's keen political sense in the past, how can he not guess the shocking content contained in this mutilated secret document.

"Zhongda, you're doing a great job." Liu Ai carefully folded the secret letter, put it close to his chest, and took a deep breath, "You two go with me and talk to someone." ”

Sima Yi nodded with a smile: "Zhijin Wu Fu Gong." (To be continued......)
