Chapter 193: Strange Men and Strange Things
If Hou Jie knew a little about the art of war, he would know that Pingyang was completely nonsense, and the Funiu Mountains stretched for thousands of miles, sending 20,000 troops deep into them to surround one of the most precipitous peaks. It would require countless manpower and material resources, and it would be cost-effective and impossible to achieve.
However, Hou Jie is a rough man, in his forties, he can write a few words at the cultural level, he has never been in contact with the art of war and military, where can he understand the problem of military attrition. It's just that he knows that Pingyang's status is prominent, and it is easy to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he doesn't suspect anything, and he is weighing the gains and losses in his heart.
There has always been no shortage of good players in the rivers and lakes, as long as there are two famous characters, what is lacking is strange people with various strengths. For example, disguise, light work, poisoning, and other good hands with special abilities in a certain aspect.
Hou Jie is gifted, when he was born, his arms were like apes and longer than ordinary babies, because he looked different from ordinary people, and was ridiculed by others since he was a child, so his mother specially moved to live in the inaccessible mountains and pulled him up alone.
There is a group of wild monkeys living in the mountains and forests where Hou Jie lives, and his childhood playmates are the monkeys, imitating the monkeys to jump, so that the bones that are already different from ordinary people have been invisibly affected, and he is young with a hunchback like a monkey, his hands and feet are long, but his body is a little short because of the relationship between the hunchback, and when he reaches the stereotyped age, he is only one meter six or five tall, but his single arm is one meter two long, and his body is slightly bent and his arm touches the ground.
Hou Jie lives in the mountains, and is accompanied by monkeys, just like Tarzan of the apes. In the mountains and forests, he learned the stunt of climbing for a lifetime. Climb mountains and wade through waters, climb trees and climb over walls as if walking on the ground. When he was twenty years old, he met a stranger. Thus embarked on the road of rivers and lakes.
Generally speaking, people who practice martial arts need to lay a good foundation from a young age, and after years of training, they can achieve achievements and be superior to others. At the age of twenty, the bones are shaped and shaped unlikely. But because Hou Jie grew up in the jungle, he invisibly brought training into life, and unconsciously cultivated an outstanding light body foundation. In just three years, you may succeed in learning the skills of light body in the upper echelons. There were few trees he couldn't climb, cliffs he couldn't climb, let alone sneak into other people's mansions, and that kind of low-difficulty thing was as easy for him as eating and drinking. It has also won the reputation of the cupola monkey.
Hou Jie's special skills made Situ Shen take a fancy to him. He needs an expert like Hou Jie who can sneak into any location at any time to find out information, find out information, and even poison him. also used extraordinary means to "invite" Hou Jie's mother to the lair of the Funiu Mountain assassination camp. Hou Jie has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, and he had to obey Situ Hurt's orders and serve him against his will.
Hou Jie is a decent person, and he is not willing to serve Situ Injury, as soon as he has no task, he launched an investigation into the assassination camp, and used his own ability to cross the mountains and mountains. Opened up a secret path to the back of the assassination camp, intending to find an opportunity to rescue his mother.
Because the stakes are heavy. Hou Jie didn't dare to act without permission. Situ was cunning and ferocious, and if he noticed the slightest problem, his mother's life might be in danger.
But I don't want all my thoughts to let Luo Shixin and Pingyang see through it.
Hou Jie's eyes swept over Luo Shixin and Pingyang, and then returned to Luo Shixin, and a little hope was ignited in his eyes. Since the completion of his skills, he has traveled north and south, and his hidden traces have never been noticed, let alone captured. The most dangerous one was when Situ led twenty people to ambush him and test his ability. In Situ Shu's words, "Even a simple encirclement can't escape, and it's a waste of fame, and he doesn't need it." That time it was dangerous to have a mental calculation or not, but he escaped in the end. However, what was waiting for him was that his mother was captured, and he had to make compromises and become a pawn of Situ Injury.
However, Luo Shixin unintentionally discovered his deposit, and also joined forces with Pingyang, making him a prisoner of the subordinates without any power to fight back.
"Alright! I should be you. ”
Hou Jie gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble, relying on the strength shown by Luo Shixin, "I believe that you can save my mother." ”
Luo Shixin responded without hesitation: "I, Luo Shixin, have never lived up to the trust of those who believe in me. ”
**********
Funiu Mountain Range is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, stretching for more than 800 miles, the scale is huge, the mountain is unusually high and majestic, the shape is like a lying cow, so it is called Funiu Mountain. There are three main peaks in Funiu Mountain, namely Jijiaojian, Jade Emperor Peak, and Laojun Mountain, and the assassination camp is hidden in Laojun Mountain.
As soon as Luo Shixin and Pingyang decided to act, they immediately ordered people to gather the doormen lurking around Pingyang.
It was only the middle of the night, and there were already a hundred good players gathered in the col, they were dressed casually, but all of them had good strength and bearing, which surprised Luo Shixin.
Pingyang said quite complacently: "My doorman, looking at Chang'an, it is not an exaggeration to call the first." "It turns out that Binh Duong adopts a ladder control for doormen, and the doormen are positioned as steps, and the higher the status, the better the monthly benefits, and so on. Every two months, Binh Duong organizes a competition to weed out the old ones and replenish new blood. The 100 people who were ordered to come this time were the top 100 people among the doormen, and they were all elites selected through unfalse competitions, and their strength was very strong.
Hou Jie saw that he had more than 100 new troops out of thin air, and his confidence also improved a lot.
Overnight, I took people up the mountain from the inaccessible trail, and the group was a good hand, and they couldn't go over the mountains and mountains, and the speed of climbing the mountain was extremely fast. Only Hou Jie was a little powerless, and Pingyang's arrow pierced his calf, although it didn't hurt his bones, it was impossible to recover in the short term. After holding on for a while, he sweated profusely, and his body could not maintain balance.
Luo Shixin put Hou Jie behind his back and said with a smile: "Hurry up like this!" "He was born with divine power, and carrying a living person of a hundred pounds to climb the mountain didn't bring him much trouble.
Hou Jie saw that Luo Shixin was going to be carried on his back without taboo, and trusted him so much, and there was a trace of emotion in his eyes.
In fact, he thinks too much, Luo Shixin's character will not be light on a person, he just wants to act earlier to make Pei Qingyi in the distance less dangerous. As for Hou Jie, he didn't feel that the other party had the strength to threaten him, even in his back.
It is not difficult to go up to Funiu Mountain, but with the climb of Laojun Mountain, even Luo Shixin is a little difficult.
The path they are now on weaves through the dense forests and bad waters, and the path is narrow enough for only one person to pass through Guò.
What Hou Jie is referring to is not a road at all, but a beast path walked by tigers and leopards, which is full of thorns and steep and abnormal.
Luo Shixin opened the way with a Tang knife in his hand, split all kinds of hurtful thorns, and said while hurrying: "It's a shame that you can find such a road." ”
Hou Jie smiled bitterly: "Funiu Mountain has always been a tourist place for literati and artists in the peaceful and prosperous era, and it has been famous in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. In the assassination camp, they have set up secret posts on the road leading to the camp, and there is a way to escape on the mountain, which is difficult to break through from the front. Only this kind of beast path that tigers and leopards step out when crossing the mountain is extremely secretive and no one knows. ”
After walking for a day and night, the group came to the bottom of a mountain cliff, Hou Jie pointed to a cliff nearly thirty meters high and said: "As long as you climb to the top of this cliff, it is the back of the camp of the assassination camp." ”
Looking at the towering cliff, Luo Shixin lost his voice and said: "How to climb this!" The cliff in front of him was almost straight, with almost no place to stay, but there were one or two tenacious pines halfway up the mountain.
Hou Jie smiled: "Since I brought you here, there is naturally a way to let you go up." He came to the far right of the cliff, took out more than a dozen slender sticks about two fingers thick from the thorn bushes on the right, groped around the mountain wall for a while, and inserted the short sticks. He turned his head and said, "I know that this cliff is not something that ordinary people can't climb, so it took me two years to secretly carve out a path that leads to the top of the mountain, originally planning to be able to climb down from it with my mother on my back one day, but I didn't expect it to be used at this time." ”
Luo Shixin searched up the short stick holes, and with his eyesight he barely found a few small holes, if he didn't know the intentions of these small holes, he really couldn't imagine that there would be a way to heaven here. Look at the straight mountain wall, look at the ladder made up of wooden sticks. Ren is Luo Shixin also had to sigh at the difficulty of doing this, and looked at Hou Jie with a little admiration: This guy is really a strange person, I don't know if he can be used by me.
Even if Luo Shixin saw more than 100 doormen in Pingyang, he didn't have the intention of recruiting doormen, but Hou Jie made him move this idea. He has no shortage of subordinates who can fight, what he lacks is a character like Hou Jie. It is conceivable that if there is a monkey like Hou Jie who goes to the sky and the earth to probe information and find a path, how much convenience can be obtained militarily.
"We're on the eve of dawn = kill it, now have a good rest!" Luo Shixin gave an order, called Pingyang aside, and said in a low voice: "When you go up, can Your Highness divide some good hands to protect Hou Jie's mother?" ”
Pingyang bowed his head and said: "I understand that Hou Jie is filial piety, and he should not be a bad person." is also equipped with stunts, and his martial arts are not very good, but this stunt may not be comparable to Tsing Yi, and it is worth wooing. She also had the idea of wooing Hou Jie, but seeing that Luo Shixin also had this thought, she didn't fight.
Dawn is the time when human beings are the most lax, sleepy, and deadly.
The cliff is precipitous, and it is impossible to climb it, but with a place to stay, it is not difficult to climb the 30-meter-high cliff with the skills of Luo Shixin, Pingyang and a group of disciples under his command.
When the group went to the top of the mountain, Luo Shixin whispered, "Where is your mother?" Where is the house of the other leader? We split into two ways, one to save your mother, then to set fire to the chaos, and the other to capture the thief and capture the king. ”
Hou Jie was even more moved, and pointed out the place very neatly.
Luo Shixin wanted Pingyang to lead the team, but Pingyang took the lead and said: "Wu Leopard, you take someone to save people with Hou Jie." In a word, there is no doubt that the position is stated. (To be continued......)
