Chapter 350: The Northern Ranger on Bajun Mountain
"You child, it is difficult for anyone to talk to you except your mother." Xu Rulie looked at it, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly and scolded with a smile.
Later, Chen Mingche heard the child's laughter, and inexplicably wanted to take a look at Wan'er, and saw how warm the reunion of their family was, and his heart was also soft.
"This son sees that you are personable, and he must also be an elegant person, although he is a classic history, he is just an idle job, and he wants to make friends with you, and the matter of your wife, maybe you can also help in the next."
As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, Chen Mingche also had a lot of friends when he was young, but now they have all become drunkards, all of which are just for his current identity.
Therefore, he naturally regarded Xu Rulie's deliberate avoidance as a fear of being an official, and hurriedly explained his situation, and also envied Xu Rulie's family from the bottom of his heart.
When Xu Rulie heard this, he was worried that there was no one to help him in Liuzhou, a place where he was unfamiliar with life, since Chen Mingche took the initiative to speak, why not do it, so he turned his head and bowed politely to each other.
"Lord Chen is so sincere, if there is still some shirk in the future, it will be too ignorant to elevate."
"Brother Tai smiled, the small words are clear, and you and I can still call him by his name in the future." Chen Mingche waved his hand lightly, but he was afraid that others would call himself by this kind of name.
Xu Rulie listened, and improvised a pseudonym. "Then it will be disrespectful at the bottom, and it will be disrespectful at the bottom."
This name is rarely heard, and the main Xu Rulie didn't say which words it was, Chen Mingche thought it was the most pedantic word "Yanzhi", and he admired Xu Rulie more and more.
And Su Lian, who was behind him, couldn't help but poke her head out to look at him when she heard Xu Rulie's face blushing and her heart was not beating, and she was also amused and helpless in her heart.
But no matter what, with Chen Mingche's help, after all, things can be done with half the effort, after all of them got acquainted with this place, they returned to a teahouse on the street to sit and talk, Xu Rulie took the opportunity to tell Chen Mingche some of the contents of Su Lian's memory.
I can't find a dry well, if I can directly find the old house of Su Lian's father, maybe it will be more convenient.
On the other hand, Dian Tao's rescue work in Yanzhou is still in full swing, and Liang Xin, who has taken another long road, is also leading his troops, and the march is very smooth.
It's just that Xiao Huai'an, he is not in either of these two teams.
As early as the night before the expedition, Yang Ruopei quietly handed over the roadmap of the search for the Yang family's army to Xiao Huai'an.
Otherwise, in the same team, whenever Xiao Huai'an disappears, it will attract attention and be divided into two ways, and his whereabouts will become uncertain and difficult to figure out.
What's more, Xiao Huai'an is also sure that Ma Ge will not let go of this opportunity to assassinate himself, and he just happened to use Ma Ge's hand to make himself more and more elusive.
So after receiving the information from Yanzhou, Xiao Huaian just smiled slightly, everything was under control, and he also hurried to the Bajun Mountain mentioned by Yang Ruopei.
Bajun Mountain is the place where the first loyal and righteous candidates enlisted in the army, and it can also be regarded as the hometown of their Yang family, and then the Yang family army laid the foundation and gradually expanded, and the first batch of soldiers included in it was also here, so the significance of this place for the Yang family and the Yang family army is extraordinary.
It's just that because the terrain of Bajun Mountain is relatively steep, if you don't live here all year round, you will either fall off the cliff while climbing because the mountain is too straight, or you will fall into this endless primeval forest and can't find an exit.
If it weren't for the slightly smaller footprint here, it would have been a civilian gathering place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Xiao Huai'an rode a fast horse and drove for nearly a day and a night before finally coming to the foot of Bajun Mountain, he raised his head and looked at the three towering peaks in front of him, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
It's not that there is no mountain road on the mountain, but to get to the road, this cliff more than dozens of zhang high is the only way to pass, if it is not for the practice of the family, it is difficult to imagine who can go up the mountain alive. But the people here can't always be from old to young, and everyone is a martial arts master.
Then, on top of this daunting cliff, there must be a shortcut to reach the summit safely.
Thinking so, Xiao Huai'an first tied his horse to a nearby stream and let it graze, while he relied on foot to turn these peaks around.
But although the area here is not large, it is not so easy to walk by manpower, not to mention that the last mountain peak is still in contact with other mountain ranges, if you go around, the distance will be far, I am afraid that it will delay the time to go back.
Xiao Huai'an wrinkled his brows, only turned the first peak halfway, and still found nothing, so he thought about coming back to lead the horse and see if there was any other way.
But by the time he returned to the place where he had led the horse, the horse was gone, and only half of the reins were still firmly fastened to the trunk.
Xiao Huai'an was suddenly clever, and ran to the trunk of the tree in a few steps, only to see clearly that the reins left behind were obviously cut by the blade.
That is, there are people here all the time?
Xiao Huai'an was startled, but it was too late for him to react, and in an instant, many noisy voices came out of the woods, mixed with the neighing of his horses, and the strong man in a very sloppy dress surrounded him from the third floor.
"Hmph, seeing that this horse is so well raised, I thought there was a rich master, but I didn't expect it to be a prodigal son."
The leader held a machete in his hand, and the machete had three iron rings on it, and there was a ping bang as he walked. His face was oily, his chin was full of beard, and he looked very bohemian.
This person came from behind the crowd in a majestic manner, walked straight in front of Xiao Huai'an, and looked him up and down unceremoniously. Fortunately, Xiao Huai'an didn't have time to clean up because he was in a hurry these days, and the whole person seemed to be dusty, so as not to arouse the concerns of these people.
Xiao Huai'an didn't mind the encirclement of these people with his mouth closed, but judging from the way these people acted, he faintly had a bold conjecture.
"Hey, boy, where are you from, seeing that you have good qualifications, are you interested in staying and joining us? Otherwise, leave all the valuable things on you and choose one or the other. ”
The bearded man raised his chin slightly, but it was the first time he saw that someone could stand so straight in front of them, so he couldn't help but feel a little interested, and when Xiao Huai'an speculated about his identity, he also doubted Xiao Huai'an's purpose for coming.
When Xiao Huai'an heard this, he turned his head and looked at the burden that was ignored and thrown under the roots of the tree, but inside was the big bag made by Yang Ruopei before the expedition, and the rules on the road outside the scarf woven by Su Jiao himself, he didn't understand, if he wanted to leave all his belongings, he was afraid that he couldn't leave these two things.
"My BMW is ten directions, but the snowy BMW brought from the north has the strongest temperament in his life, and he only recognizes one master, what ability do you have to take it away quietly."
"Haha, it's just a song of snowy BMW, Lao Tzu, I have tamed even the northernmost gray wolf, and I can't subdue a vegetarian animal?"
When the words landed, for Xiao Huai'an's question, the bearded boss seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and he leaned back and laughed.
The gray wolf in the northernmost part is rumored to be as tall as a person on all fours, and in a very harsh environment, its temperament is not to mention how brutal, even if there are very few people who can kill it, and it takes several people to cooperate to kill one.
This man is so unashamed.
Xiao Huai'an squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the spirit of this person's life, he did look like a chivalrous man from the north, but this figure was not as burly and tall as people remembered.
Just now he only had a hint of suspicion about this person, but now he can almost be sure.
And the bearded boss saw that Xiao Huai'an didn't respond to his question for a long time, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he raised the machete in his hand, and the tip of the knife was only three inches away from the tip of Xiao Huai'an's nose.
"Hey, boy, what about Lao Tzu asking you, are you deaf?"
"What do you ask?" After that, the surrounding little brothers also shouted angrily to Xiao Huai'an along with the bearded boss's words, this voice is really troublesome, and I don't know how they have been able to settle down here for so many years.
"I really didn't expect that Mu Kegu, the northern ranger who was powerful in the past, was included in the Yang family army and became an official of the imperial court, and now he is back to his old bandits, which is really a pity!"
Listening to these people's provocations, Xiao Huai'an just spit out this sentence lightly, and the bearded boss on the opposite side really had a different reaction.
Mu Ke's neck was slightly stalked, he came from the most unruly north, but he joined the Yang family's army, which did make him ridiculed by many people in the rivers and lakes, but when he recalled it, he didn't regret it.
"Lao Tzu is happy, boy, who are you? How can you be so clear about Lao Tzu's past, you are from the imperial court? ”
"The next surname is Xiao, although he did come from the imperial court, but this time he came to General Mu Lao for personal matters." Xiao Huai'an said, at the moment, he didn't dare to continue to play dumb, otherwise he would really annoy Mu Kegu, and it would not be so easy to deal with.
As he spoke, he took out the letter written by Yang Ruopei that he had been carrying in his arms, and waved it in the direction of Mu Kegu.
Mu Kegu didn't believe it, so he only let the little brother next to him take the things from Xiao Huai'an's hands.
