Chapter 210: Jinggangshan encounters bandits
***
Jinggang Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Ji'an Prefecture, located in the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, the middle section of the Luoxiao Mountains, the mountain is majestic, the terrain is complex. Especially in the area of the Yellow Ocean Boundary, ten miles of horizontal rows, high mountains and shadows, majestic and precipitous, endless.
At this moment, there is no red flag fluttering on Jinggang Mountain, but there is a big flag with the word "Qin" on a black background. Qin Mu led two hundred guards along the mountain path, through the forest and wading, and the banner appeared and disappeared in the mountains and forests;
Qin Mu originally intended to let Dong Xiaowan follow the two thousand cavalry on the avenue, but she insisted on refusing.
Dong Xiaowan said that now is not a march to fight, Yang Zhi was worried that he would have no one to take care of him all the way, and repeatedly told her to take care of Qin Mu's daily life, how could she give up her "duty" because the road was more difficult?
Qin Mu hired a few local strong men, one was to act as a guide, and the other was to take turns to carry Dong Xiaowan forward with bamboo chariots, these mountain people were barefoot, and the two carried Dong Xiaowan in the mountains like flying, even faster than Qin Mu and their horses, which was breathtaking.
Sitting on a comfortable bamboo chariot, although it was over the mountains and mountains, Dong Xiaowan could still stand it, her mental state was very good, and when she stopped to rest, she could still pour tea and water for Qin Mu, and pinched her muscles and bones.
The forests on the mountain are luxuriant, lush, yew, white yew, oak tree, ginkgo, fragrant fruit tree, semi-maple lotus, nan bamboo, square bamboo, light bamboo, Guanyin bamboo, cold bamboo, bitter bamboo, phoenix tail bamboo, solid bamboo, etc., most of the trees do not wither because the cold winter has not passed, just like a tenacious life towering in the mountains, giving people a feeling of vitality.
"Lord Governor, there are still twenty miles to the ocean realm." A mountain man who served as a guide reported to Qin Mu.
"The Ocean Realm?"
"Yes, my lord, some people call him Huangyangjie. This is the most precipitous place in Jinggang Mountain, the mountain is high and dense, often filled with vast clouds and mist, looking at it like the ocean, so we call it the ocean world. My lord, the ocean world is the most difficult part of Jinggang Mountain. ”
"Difficult to walk? haha, the wind is thundering, and the flag is fighting. You can go to the moon for nine days, you can go down to the five seas to catch turtles, and talk and laugh triumphantly. There is nothing difficult in the world. As long as you are willing to climb. ”
Sima Kai and the others cheered in unison when they heard this. Xu Yongshun lost no time in patting the horse: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb, good poetry, wonderful poetry!" The younger brother had long heard that Brother Qin had written a hundred poems about wine fighting. Jinling City sleeps. The girl didn't go to bed. Self-Daowu is a wine fairy. It's just that since following the eldest brother, the eldest brother has always cherished words like gold, and today the younger brother has finally seen it. Export into a chapter, sure enough, it is an export chapter."
"Ahh
"No, big brother, my little brother didn't know you at that time."
"But I know you, the little grandfather of the Dingguo family, who doesn't recognize you in Jinling?"
"But when the younger brother arrived in Changsha, the eldest brother obviously didn't recognize me."
"That's why I said, 'I forgot if you didn't say so,' so I didn't settle accounts with you until now."
"Big brother, you obviously want to add to his crime, and the patient has no words." Xu Yongshun cried with a sad face, to say, he was really so arrogant when he was in Jinling, but this
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll settle accounts with you later." Qin Mu found that the mountain man who led the way seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "What's the matter, is there anything else?" ”
The mountain man hurriedly said: "Lord Governor, the villain said that the Wangyang Realm is the most difficult to walk, in addition to the high mountain and road dangers, there are often bandits here who rob passers-by. ”
"Oh?" When Qin Mu heard this, the first thought that flashed through his mind was: Did Taizu take those dozens of people up the mountain to open his business, sins, sins, although Lao Jiang has always called Taizu a bandit, but Taizu should not have robbed the aisle.
The reason why Qin Mu heard that there were bandits in the Wang Ocean Realm and were idle and cranky was because the two hundred guards around him were not only well-equipped and morale-high, but also carefully selected soldiers, so when he heard that there were bandits in the mountains, he didn't take it too seriously, but he still asked: "How many bandits are in this gang, and what is the name of the leader, do you know?" ”
"Lord Governor, I don't know how many people are small, but it shouldn't be less than a hundred, maybe even two or three hundred. I don't know what the name of the leader is. ”
"Well, thank you, Sima Kai, reward one or two silvers." After Qin Mu gave the order here, he immediately ordered Niu Wanshan: "Brother Niu, you pick some people to go and scout first, you can't be careless." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will go and find out." Although Niu Wanshan is over forty years old, he is very good at kung fu, full of energy, and walks with a tiger, but since following Qin Mu, in addition to teaching Qin Mu usually, he will accompany Qin Mu to feed him. He hasn't had a chance to show yet, this is a good opportunity, and if he has a chance, he will take care of the bandits' den first. He took twenty or thirty people with him and quickly disappeared into the mountain road ahead.
Qin Mu looked at the sky, it was almost noon, so he ordered to take a temporary rest in a valley, and wait for Niu Wanshan to find out clearly, it is still Taizu's words, strategically you can despise the enemy, but tactically you must pay attention to the enemy, so as not to capsize in the gutter.
As soon as they stopped, the soldiers immediately divided their labor and cooperated, vigilant vigilance, fire building, pot setting pot, and began to busily prepare lunch.
Dong Xiaowan's hair bun is inserted with treasure clusters and pearls and white jade hairpins, purple fur jackets, and moon white embroidered peach blossom long skirts. Like a light cloud, the waist and limbs are like weak willows.
She covered her face with a white light veil, which added a bit of hazy feeling, and that kind of beauty was delicate and elegant like a fairy.
Qin Mu unloaded the saddle and placed it under a fragrant fruit tree, hung the giant sword on the branch, looked back at Dong Xiaowan quietly, and then said with a smile: "Xiaowan is tired, right?" I'm sure you've never suffered like this before, so sit down and rest for a while. ”
Qin Mu's smile was like a warm sunshine, Dong Xiaowan felt warm in her heart after meeting it, she lifted her veil and replied gently: "The slave sits on the bamboo chariot all the way. I didn't suffer anything, this mountain road is rugged, and the old man is hard to ride a horse, you sit down, and the slave will help you take care of it. ”
In the past, because of the mustard in her heart, Dong Xiaowan didn't give Qin Mu any good looks, but now although she accepts him in her heart, because of the previous events, she is always a little unnatural in front of Qin Mu, and rarely says so many things at once.
But the more embarrassed she became. When Qin Mu was idle, he liked to tease her more and more: "There are bandits in the Wang Ocean Realm in front. If you see a fairy-like beauty, I'm afraid that the bandit leader will try his best to snatch you back to be the lady of the village, alas, it seems that a hard fight is inevitable. Disaster in disguise. Woe to the water. ”
"Sir!" Dong Xiaowan naturally knew that Qin Mu was deliberately teasing her. I couldn't help but snort.
"Haha," Qin Mu sat down on the saddle. After making fun of the beauty, the fatigue caused by crossing the mountains and mountains can be reduced a lot.
Dong Xiaowan skillfully opened the baggage, selected two exquisite dim sum and handed them to Qin Mu: "Master, let's eat some dim sum to cushion my stomach first." ”
Qin Mu took her hand. Bite a small piece of sweet potato wedges, this kind of dim sum is to cook the sweet potatoes first, and then break them with flour and form a dough, and the middle wrap is filled with minced meat, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, shrimp and other ingredients to make a dumpling-sized triangle shape, zuihou put it in the oil pan and fry, it becomes a crispy outside and tender inside, sweet and delicious sweet potato wedges.
When Qin Mu left Gannan, Yang Zhi had to prepare a lot of food for him on the road in addition to a thousand instructions, like these fried sweet potato wedges in winter, even if they stayed for more than ten days, they were still delicious. Qin Mu ate one by himself, and then took a piece and fed it to Dong Xiaowan.
"You eat it too."
"Master, the slave can't afford it, let the slave come by himself."
"It's okay, you can just pay me back next time."
"Pay you back?"
"That's right, it's said that when you drink, you don't use a cup, but use fragrant lips to spend it, this master just heard that he enjoyed it, and he hasn't had a chance to be so corrupt, well, this person, it's too tired to live a proper life, and it's corrupt, at least a few times before it's called life, right?"
Dong Xiaowan's flower-like beauty turned red in an instant, and she didn't dare to answer with her little mouth, just like a spring peony with delicate rain.
For Qin Mu, she can be regarded as having figured out his temperament, he is a conscientious and busy person in military and political affairs. But in his spare time, he will never be a sanctimonious gentleman, and even a little wilted, but he will never lose his mind.
"Master, the few sentences you chanted just now seem to be the word card of "Water Tune Song Head", but they are intermittent, why don't you complete it, master?" Dong Xiaowan obviously deliberately diverted the topic.
Qin Mu shook his head with a smile and said: "You should know that I am not here, and I don't have that poetry anymore, and I can't make it a masterpiece if I barely make it up." Come, come to the master. ”
Dong Xiaowan moved to his side, Ying Ying squatted down to help him pinch his thighs, her expression was gentle and natural, and her slender ten fingers were as beautiful as spring onions and white children. The head of the mantis hangs slightly, the eyebrows are like spring mountains, and the eyes are like water.
"Xiao Wan, tell the master, do you have any dreams?"
Dong Xiaowan's eyelids lifted, and the light of her eyes like water flowed to him.
Qin Mu's question made her not know how to answer for a while, she had never studied in detail what dreams she had, a Qinglou woman, what dreams to talk about, if there really is, it is just the dream of a talented and beautiful woman, marrying a talented woman as a concubine, and living a harmonious life.
Now is this dream come true, Qin Mu is a famous talent in Jiangnan, and he is also very good to himself, and Yang Zhi, who is a housemother, treats herself like a sister, and never puts herself on the shelf of a housewife. Isn't this what I asked for before?
So what dreams do you have now? gave birth to a son and a half daughter, thinking of this, Dong Xiaowan's elegant and leisurely pretty face turned slightly red.
"Slaves don't have any dreams."
"Hehe, when will it be, tell me, the master promised you to help you realize your dream, of course, your dream has to be a little more reliable."
"Hmm." Dong Xiaowan glanced at him with a vein, and lowered her head again, "Master Xiexie." She knew that Qin Mu would not easily make promises to others, and today he suddenly made such a promise, which shows that he really has himself in his heart, and for this alone, Dong Xiaowan is quite content.
After lunch was ready, everyone squatted under the tree and had a meal, and after resting for a while, they saw Niu Wanshan hurrying back.
"My lord, something happened, my subordinates caught a minion, according to this little minions, the bandits on Jinggang Mountain used Neiying last night to break through Youxian, and the bandit leader is called Gu Xiancheng."
"What, Gu Xiancheng?"
