Chapter 575: Finally Found It
Ten miles south of the Yin Pavilion City, in a dense forest at the foot of the Great Wall.
Liu Wei sat on a piece of bluestone, looking up at the dense canopy.
The dense canopy of the trees shades the sunlight, and the light shines through the canopy, shining into the forest, casting mottled spots of light on the ground.
Since the hundreds of dragoons entered the forest, few people spoke, although it was already time to eat, and the dragoon guards just took out the dry food they brought with them and gnawed silently.
Like Liu Wei, they were all waiting for news of the Hun scouts.
On the way to the Yin Pavilion, Liu Wei had already made an analysis, and the reason why those Huns did not show up before was mainly to avoid facing the main force of the Luoyang Army.
The Huns were few in number, and as scouts, they had no follow-up food and grass supplies, so they could only survive by plundering the people.
Although there are many villages and towns that have been plundered by them, but every time the Huns loot, the materials that can be taken away are very limited, because the Luoyang army passed by, they have not appeared for several days to loot, and now it is time to move.
When he arrived at the Yin Pavilion, Liu Wei did not look for the Huns everywhere like a headless fly, but after sending a few scouting horses, he led hundreds of dragoon guards and plunged into the dense forest south of the Yin Pavilion.
Not far behind them is the majestic Great Wall.
Due to the dense forest, Liu Wei and the others could not see the Great Wall that winded for thousands of miles, but they could feel that the Great Wall here was behind them, and they were silently watching how they, the men of the Central Plains, could avenge the slaughtered civilians of the Central Plains.
"Your Highness, eat some!" Just looking up at the green canopy of trees above his head, Guan Qing walked up to Liu Wei and handed a small cloth bag to Liu Wei.
Hearing Guan Qing's words, Liu Wei turned his head to look at her, took the cloth bag, and asked her, "Is there any news?" ”
Guan Qing shook his head and stood beside Liu Wei, with a little anxiety on his pretty face.
"Sit!" Holding the small cloth bag in one hand, Liu Wei patted him lightly and said to Guan Qing: "The stone is quite big, enough for you and me to sit." ”
Responding softly, Guan Qing didn't say anything else, and sat next to Liu Wei.
"The Central Plains is in turmoil, and the Huns are disturbing the border!" As soon as Guan Qing sat down, Liu Wei reached out and took out a piece of dried beef from the cloth bag and handed it to her, and waited until she took the beef before he continued: "In the face of the Xiongnu, the heroes from all over the country are actually left alone, if it goes on like this, the Central Plains will be allowed to be dominated by foreign races, when will I have Ningri ...... in China?"
"Alas!" Taking the beef handed to her by Liu Bian, Guan Qing sighed lightly, raised her face slightly, looked at the lush canopy above her head, and asked Liu Bian softly: "If these Huns are caught, what does Your Highness want to do with them?" ”
"Kill!" Liu Wei, who had just reached out and took out another piece of beef from the cloth bag, had not yet handed the meat to his mouth, when he heard Guan Qing ask such a question, and said without the slightest hesitation: "Those who slaughtered the civilians of my Central Plains, die!" ”
After getting such a categorical sentence from Liu Wei's mouth, Guan Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he said faintly: "Just one kill, I'm afraid it makes them die too comfortably......"
"yes!" Nodding, Liu Wei answered lightly, and didn't say anything more, just brought the beef to his mouth and took a bite.
Not far from them, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were sitting side by side, and since they entered the forest, the sisters had not said anything, as if they were thinking about something.
Not far behind them, after Wang Liu's recommendation, Huang Shengzheng, who had newly joined the dragoon guards, sat in a circle with several other dragoon guards, silently nibbling on the dry food he had brought with him.
Finally, Huang Sheng couldn't stand this calm atmosphere, stood up, and walked towards Wang Liu.
"General!" Behind Wang Liu, Huang Sheng clenched his fists with both hands, lowered his voice and called her softly.
Hearing someone calling her, Wang Liu turned her head and glanced behind her, and saw that it was Huang Shen who called her, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"When will I find those Huns?" Clenched his fists and bowed, and saluted Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, Huang Sheng asked in a whisper with a little anxiety in his expression.
"How does my sister know?" Without waiting for Wang Liu to speak, Wang Zhen on the side pursed his lips and said to Huang Sheng: "Don't care so much, you just have to wait for the order." ”
After being reprimanded by Wang Zhen, Huang Sheng's cheeks turned red, and he answered, and then turned back to the position where he was originally sitting.
"This kid seems to be very close to his sister?" Turning his head to look at Huang Sheng's back, he sat down again not far away when he saw him, squeezed his eyes narrowly at Wang Liuyu on the side, and smiled evilly.
Knowing that she had something to say, Wang Liu glanced at her fiercely, lowered his voice, and asked her rhetorically: "That Sun Bofu who helped you in Yangzhou now, does he have contacts?" ”
"Him?" Speaking of Sun Ce, Wang Zhen leaned the back of his head against the trunk of the tree, closed his eyes slightly, and said to Wang Liu as if he was calm: "He helped me, but he just wanted to get acquainted with His Highness and borrow troops from His Highness to return to Jiangdong." ”
"It's not easy to borrow troops from His Highness right now!" Turning his head to look at Liu Wei, who was sitting with Guan Qing and saying a sentence or two from time to time, Wang Liu sighed lightly and said, "Dahan Sheji, I didn't expect to be in such a situation today. His Royal Highness has turned the tide by himself, and it is really hard ......"
Leaning against the big tree, Wang Zhen closed her eyes and didn't answer Wang Liu's words, but her eyelids twitched slightly.
"Do you know who in Luoyang City intends to be unfavorable to His Highness?" The two were silent for a moment, Wang Liu turned his head to look at Wang Zhen, and whispered to her again.
Referring to the assassins in Luoyang City, Wang Zhen opened his eyes, stared at the verdant canopy, and was silent for a while before slowly shaking his head and saying to Wang Liu: "Those who intended to assassinate His Highness that day have all surfaced, but the assassins in Luoyang City, I am afraid that they will only wait until you and I return to Luoyang, and then investigate in secret!" ”
Knowing that Wang Zhen would not lie to her, Wang Liu didn't say anything more, just nodded silently, and turned his gaze to the north again.
The dense forest obscured Wang Liu's vision, and all she could see was a close patch of tree trunks nearby.
A little farther away from everyone, Deng Zhan sat alone on a piece of bluestone, holding a small flower that he had just picked in the forest.
It is a small pink flower, and the petals are not as beautiful as those delicate and precious flowers in the flower garden, but they exude this refreshing fragrance.
If people who are familiar with Deng Zhan see his appearance at this time, they will definitely laugh at him, but a generation of swordsmen has become a lady full of fat powder.
But no matter how familiar with Deng Zhan is, he doesn't know that the flower he is twisting in his hand evokes many unknown memories for him.
Staring at the flower in his hand, which was not delicate, but had a unique beauty, Deng Zhan pulled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but no matter who saw his smile, he could see a bit of bitterness and sourness in it.
Just as Deng Zhan was twisting the flowers, a sound of footsteps came into his ears, accompanied by footsteps, and the "rustling" sound of the hooves of war horses stepping on thick fallen leaves.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Deng Zhan hurriedly threw the flower to the ground, stood up suddenly, and drew his long sword.
The hundreds of dragoon guards who sat in the forest to rest were the elite of the elite in the Luoyang army.
What they have always been best at is hibernation and raiding, and the slightest change in the surrounding area will be immediately noticed.
At the same time that Deng Zhan drew his long sword and stood up, hundreds of dragoon guards had already stood up, pressing their hands on the hilt of their swords one by one, and their eyes turned to the direction where the footsteps came.
All the people resting in the forest stood up, except for Liu Wei, who was still sitting on the stone, munching on the beef comfortably.
"It's the spies we sent out, don't panic!" After taking a bite of beef, before he saw a figure appear in the place where the footsteps came, Liu Wei whispered to Guan Qing on the side: "The footsteps are not hurried, and they are not messy, and it is not a sign that many people are rushing over at all." And from the interval when the footsteps came, I could hear the people walking, and they were also very cautious. I'm afraid no one walks like this except for spies......"
Before Liu Wei's words fell, in the sight of everyone who stood up, a man wearing a dark dark coat and leading a tall northern horse appeared.
The man held his hair in a bun high, the bun pointed straight to the sky, and the ink-colored dark clothes on his body were also made of silk, and the whole person exuded an explosive merchant atmosphere.
The number of dragoons is not very large, and all the soldiers eat and live in the same place on weekdays, and they have long been familiar with each other.
Seeing the man, all the standing dragoons slowly let go of their hands on the hilt of their swords, and most of them sat back on the ground.
When he arrived beside Deng Zhan, the man in black whispered something to Deng Zhan.
Listening to what the man in black said, Deng Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up, a touch of joy appeared between his eyebrows, he nodded at the man in black, waved his hand at him, and hurriedly ran over to Liu Wei.
"How?" As soon as Deng Zhan arrived in front of him, Liu Wei, who was still sitting on the bluestone, raised his head to look at him and asked him, "But there is news from the Hun scouts?" ”
"Exactly!" Bowing with a fist at Liu Wei, Deng Zhan whispered to him: "After investigation, Tanma found that the Hun scouts were lurking only ten miles away from here. ”
"Can you find out the specific location, the detailed number of people, and the defense deployment?" Knowing that the Hun scouts were more than ten miles away from them, Liu Wei stood up suddenly, lowered his voice, and asked Deng Zhan.
"It's been investigated!" Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, Deng Zhan responded to Liu.
"Together with Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, you will select twenty people and set off with this king first!" Staring at Deng Zhan's face that trembled slightly with excitement because he learned that he had found the Huns, Liu Wei instructed him: "The rest of the people, all led by Qing'er, will come to meet after two hours!" ”
