As the two of them walked towards the barracks, the snow had already fallen three fingers deep, and there was no intention of stopping.

The next morning, when Qingzhi woke up and lifted the curtain of the tent, he saw a vast snowy field between the whole world and the world.

The snow is no longer falling, and I don't know when it stopped last night.

Considering that the road was slippery in snowy weather, if it was a road, it happened that after walking for more than ten miles, it was necessary to climb over the mountain, which was the second dangerous place that Lu Shikang said, and there were many gravel places on the slopes.

On a snowy day, it was difficult to see the mountain road under his feet, which was not conducive to traveling, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to let the troops stop for a day or two and wait until the snow was almost melted.

.

At noon, an old man came to the cold mountain where Zhou Jing was located along the snow-colored mountain road.

This old man is the "hermit" on the mountainside of Lishan.

In Hanshan, he only saw two people, that was Zhou Jing and Zheng Hangsu.

Because the woman's tent was inconvenient to enter, he entered Zheng Hangsu's tent.

The old man chatted with Zhou Jing and Zheng Hangsu in Zheng Hangsu's tent for nearly an hour before leaving.

The old man was seen by many in the army, including Qi Lian, and after the old man left, he asked a soldier to call Zhou Jing to his tent.

He asked Zhou Jing, "Who is the old man?" ”

Zhou Jing replied indifferently: "It's just a farmer nearby." ”

"Farmer? Lord Zhou Jing, who are you fooling? Why, now the rest of us don't deserve to know the secrets of the army? ”

Zhou Jing still replied to him indifferently: "Why don't you believe that he is a farmer?" ”

"Where will the farmer grow into this fairy wind bone? You find a second one for me? ”

"So you're lonely. The world is so big, there are naturally fairy wind bones and erudite farmers. ”

Qi Lian knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he decided to send small soldiers to follow the old man to find out his whereabouts.

Zhou Jing knew his intentions as soon as he saw his face, so he ordered that no soldier should leave the barracks today, otherwise he would be severely punished.

On the way back to his tent from Qi Lian, Zhou Jing saw Zheng Hangsu walking to the southwest hillside, these days, he often sat alone on the hillside, sometimes for a day, and did not bring any entourage.

Because he often sat on the hillside, she often felt that she would always feel a little overwhelmed when she occasionally stepped out of the tent.

It was as if he could see himself on the hillside at any moment.

Now that he was walking up the hill again, Zhou Jing glanced at his back, and wanted to follow him up the hillside, wanting to talk to him about the news brought by the old man just now.

But thinking that if she followed him, she would definitely be seen by Qi Lian, she was not afraid that he would see it, but annoyed him to find more trouble, so she decided to take a bow and arrow, pretend to go hunting on the hillside, and then pretend to pass by him inadvertently.

When she got to her tent, she took her bow and arrows, and went up the hillside to the north.

He was in the southwest, and she went north, so that there was always a little bit of concealment of her intentions.

It snowed overnight, and the snow on the mountain was ten fingers thick, but the slope of the mountain was relatively gentle before reaching the mountainside.

After stepping on the thick snow, she came to the north slope of the mountain, where she shot arrows in the guise of archery for a long time, and she saw that there were no soldiers guarding in front of Qi Lian's tent, after all, it was quite windy today, and it was daytime, so the soldier probably went to his tent to warm up.

And Qi Lian himself probably didn't expect to come up the hillside, so he stayed in his own tent and never went out.

Outside the tent, there were no other soldiers, except for a few patrolmen.

In this way, she boldly walked in the direction where Zheng Hangsu was.

Every time she approached him, she could feel his awe.

Like now, as he sat there, she knew he should know she was coming, but he didn't even glance at her.

When she came near, she said to him, "I'll talk to you later, just behind the rocks to the south." ”

There was a rock that blocked the view of everyone below. She didn't want to be known that she was here alone with him.

With that, she walked straight ahead again.

After walking a few dozen feet further, she went around to the rocks to the south, and stood there waiting for him.

As she stood here, it occurred to her that she might not have to talk to him about the news that the old man had brought.

She had the opportunity to have someone call him to her tent, or she could go to his tent herself.

However, she wanted to talk to him about it on a whim.

She studied her own heart deeply, and she thought that perhaps she had come here only to be with him for a while.

Perhaps, she thought, he must have guessed what she was here for.

She took the arrow and shot it down aimlessly, one, two, three.

Only one arrow hit a tree, the other two landed in the clearing.

Her archery skills are not very good.

Just as she was about to shoot the fourth, she suddenly felt that he was already standing on her right side. So she paused for a moment, then shot the fourth arrow.

"Brother Zheng, how dare you think about what Mo Bo just said?" She picked up the fifth arrow and asked as she aimed it at a tree,

"It seems that the enemy has been tricked, but perhaps, they have actually discovered the secret of the lake."

"Oh? Is there any basis for Brother Zheng to say this? The fifth arrow on her string never fired, and she was still aiming at the tree, making a gesture that she would shoot it the next moment.

"There may be two reasons why Prince Xiao invited Mo Bo to his banquet for a drink, the first is that he did hear that Mo Bo is a hermit on Lishan, so he wants to pass by Lishan to meet Mo Bo for a while, and there is another possibility, he is pretending to let Mo Bo know that he is completely unaware of our plan, that is, pretending to be a plan."

"Then which one does Brother Zheng think is more likely?"

"Personally, I prefer the latter." He said, looking at the woods below.

The mountain is steep, and when you look down, you can see the tops of many trees.

"However, they did use the water there, and they ate the fish the night before."

According to Mober, when he got up early yesterday morning, they used water from the lake to cook.

"Then we'll see in the next few days. If many of them are sick, it means that they have been tricked, and if they have escaped it, it means that they have seen through our scheme. ”

There is no more evidence at the moment to accurately infer whether they were successful or not.

"As I said, we'll know in two or three days......," she said, shooting the fifth arrow.
