7. Dark Night Crisis
Su Qian once told Mo Yu that the city wall of Lingxiao Pass was made of glutinous rice juice mixed with lime and tung oil, and it was very hard. Mo Yu walked all the way, quietly pinching it with his fingers all the way - not crispy, I thought it would be like glutinous rice crisp, and I would break a few pieces and eat it when I was besieged.
According to the deliberative habits of the Chu State military camp, the old generals Huang Qi and Guo Shan, the internal history, sat on both sides of the central hall. Huang Qi has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, and his complexion is black and red, but Guo Shan is as white as a face.
The ink ballad represents the king of Chu, and he does not need to salute anyone, and in a few words, he can clearly explain the meaning of the king of Chu.
After listening to Mo Yu's words, Guo Shan was obviously relieved, Huang Qi was older, carefully hid his disappointment, and asked someone to take Mo Yu down to rest.
Mo Yu only used the etiquette of a junior woman at this time to bow down in a proper manner: "There are a few words in the back, I made my own opinion." Then he told him what he saw on the road and his guesses.
"Little girl," Guo Shan cocked his orchid finger and pointed to Mo Yu's nose, "I kindly advise you, don't talk nonsense, you are tampering with the king's will, beware of moving your head." "That duck's voice is a little sharper than the voice of the ink ballad.
The role of internal history was originally to restrain the generals who defended one side, and only when there was no war was fought, their status in the military camp was high. Once a war starts, the generals have the right to act cheaply, and the internal history is useless. He was against the raid, Mo Yu was not surprised at all, and she slowly turned her gaze to General Huang.
"Xiao'er, the duty of this commander is to guard Lingxiao Pass." His eyes were blazing, and he looked at Mo Yu, "Unless the Qin army comes to attack Lingxiao Pass, otherwise, I won't take the initiative to go out of the pass to find fighters, do you understand?" ”
The majesty of the commander of the first army is reflected in these few sentences, and it is not comparable to Guo Shan's threat of moving his head. Although Mo Yu was unwilling, thinking about Su Tian's repeated explanations, he still endured it.
The food of the people in the barracks was not very good, but the forage for the horses was of the first grade, and it was all sifted and slender hay. Mo Yu took out his horse and touched its mane while feeding: "Good, eat more forage without money, and go home to save a little for the lord." ”
Thinking of Su Tian, Mo Yu felt like his heart was filled with water, and he was about to swing out. After the marriage, you can get married, do you want to speak first about this matter, will the lord feel that he is too frivolous......
Coldly, a big hand slapped on the shoulder, and Mo Yu was startled, and a handful of grass fell to the ground.
"Hey, sure enough, it's you, you're on the city tower today, and I'm looking at it from afar." The young man who was a head taller than Mo Yu, wearing the military uniform of the commander of the Chu army, stood behind him.
"Ah ......" Mo Yu was surprised and delighted, and a name that she was used to calling almost rushed out, looking at the clothes of an official, she lowered her voice again, "Ah Dog, why are you here to be a soldier?" ”
The man touched his head: "General Huang changed my name, my name is Han Chong, the name Ah Gou, I can't call it anymore, so that the brothers can hear the joke." ”
Both of them were wandering slaves, and when they were very hungry when they were young, they would go to big families to steal food together. At that time, it was always Han Chong who was outside to take the wind, and the clever and petite Mo Yu went to get things. Han Chong threw the horse to the soldiers to feed, and ran to the highest place of the city tower with Mo Yu, strong wine, roast meat, as if the days of eating half of the food for one person have returned.
After talking about their wonderful experiences, the topic somehow turned to the mysterious chief general of the Qin army.
"It is rumored that Shouchun City is so miraculous that he has three heads and six arms, is he really that powerful?" Mo Yu has always felt that his own lord is the most powerful person, he loves the house and Wu, and he always thinks of the military generals as people with developed limbs and simple minds.
"I've been here for more than a year, and I haven't fought a war. But listening to the brother who was transferred from the north, this person is very bold, and his mind is twisted and turned," Speaking of this, Han Chong slapped his thigh, "Damn, if Lao Tzu can fight with him openly and honestly in this life, it will be called happy!" ”
Half a jar of wine went down, although Han Chong was not drunk, but the more he talked, the more he talked. He told Mo Yu what he had heard. One year, Xirong invaded the Qin State, and the army drove to the vicinity of the Weishui River, and there was a man wearing a bamboo hat and straw sandals standing on the side of the road. The soldiers of Xijon seized this man and tied him up in front of the king for interrogation, and this man said unashamedly that he had come to see the Xijon formation, and at noon the next day, he would personally take the head of the king of Xijon.
The king of Sijon only let him blow the air and let people go out and pull him down. The next day, the two armies met, and the main general of the Qin army was one man and one horse, along the weakest position of the Xirong Fire Ox Array, all the way to the front of the Xirong King Horse, and it was the person who wore a bamboo hat and straw sandals yesterday, but at this time, he had changed into a heroic armor.
He stood in front of the king of Xijon, looked up at the sky, and waited for a moment before he raised his sword and killed the king of Xijon on the spot. The golden light of the Xuanniao mask flashed, and the man left three words before leaving: "It's noon!" ”
Mo Yu listened sideways, his eyes drifting farther and farther away. This calmness hidden in the chaos of the army is no wonder that Han Chong is so fascinated. She was distracted, and somehow remembered the plain-clothed man in the Miaoyin Heavenly Maiden Temple, and felt that there was some similarity between them for no reason.
Not far away is Xiangshui, the ink rumor swept aimlessly, and suddenly felt a reed move. She hurriedly pushed Han Chong: "Is there someone over there?" ”
The reeds gently parted to the sides, and a vague figure dived into the river, pouring a black liquid into the water. That layer of oil-like stuff does not sink into the water, but spreads a layer on the surface of the water. After a while, the entire surface of the river was covered with this layer of black oil, and the night was dark, and if it hadn't been for the man's movements, there would have been no more layer on the surface of the river at this moment.
The two glanced at each other, and suddenly shouted together: "Qin army sneak attack!" ”
"Despicable villain, actually poisoned the water!" Han Chong was so angry that he almost scolded his mother.
Mo Yu frowned, that layer of black oil does not dissolve in water, and those who make a fire and cook will definitely find out. Firing...... She stopped Han Chong: "How do you usually judge the direction of the wind?" ”
Han Chong stretched out a finger, dipped it in the wine jar, and held it upright in front of him: "It's cold in the west, it's the west wind." ”
…… What a simple and crude method!
The west side was where Qin Jun was, and the two of them peeked downstairs again, and suddenly raised their throats in one breath.
A small group of people wearing the uniforms of the Chu State were splashing the same black oil on the walls of Lingxiao Pass, presumably the Chu soldiers guarding the road had already been killed by these people.
Han Chong has a big temperament, he is not stupid, otherwise Mo Yu would not have asked him to be responsible for looking at the wind. This black oil must be something that is caught in the fire, the Qin army has made arrangements in advance, and when the fire is together, the team will take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, and maybe they will deliberately leave a gap, so that the scattered Chu soldiers have the opportunity to escape to Xiangshui. What awaits them is not a cool river, but a sea of fire!
Tube...... Or whatever? If the lord was here, even if he knew that there was danger, he would definitely not sit back and watch Chu Guoerlang die in vain.
Mo Yu was more worried about what to do now than how to explain it after she went back, she would not be so impatient as to think that she could fight against the well-trained Qin army by herself.
General Huang Qi's words were still hovering in her ears. At that time, she didn't want to cause trouble with her selfishness, so she didn't care too much, and she remembered that the tone and eyes of the old general clearly hinted at something else. Fighting a war is the same as fighting a group, who threw the first punch, it is not clear afterwards.
Mo Yu jumped off the battlements: "You want to find a way to report to General Huang, and I'll find a way to steal half of Guo Shan's troop transfer tiger talisman." ”
The two of them split up and ran into the night.
Mo Yu followed the path of the city wall and quickly found Guo Shan's residence. poked open the window paper, and the two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls inside were holding Guo Shan's feet one by one on their chests, massaging for him, and secretly raising their heads from time to time to see if he was satisfied. I only felt disgusted when I saw the ink rumor, the difference between expensive and cheap, it was so obvious.
One of the girls, probably with a little more force in her hands, was kicked away by Guo Shan, and both of them were impatiently kicked out. When they were far away, Mo Yu slipped down the eaves, pushed open a small door behind Guo Shan, and entered the room.
Guo Shan was about to fall asleep, when he heard the voice, he turned his head angrily, and before he could see the figure clearly, he was greeted by a handful of brown powder, all of which fell into his eyes, stabbing him into tears, and he couldn't see anything clearly. was about to scold, and a cold thing was attached to his neck.
"Don't move, you only want money, don't hurt people. As soon as she entered the door, she sprinkled a handful of spices for eating roast meat, which deliberately changed her voice and disguised herself as a bandit who entered the house.
Guo Shan obediently raised his hands. Mo Yu continued to press one hand against his neck, and with the other he struggled to reach the box containing the tiger talisman on the rhombic lattice.
As soon as the tiger talisman was in his hand here, he lost his head over there, and the thing in his hand pushed forward a little, but Guo Shan's neck was unharmed. Mo Yu didn't have a sharp blade on his body, and when he entered the door in a hurry, he took a silver plate from the table and confused.
Guo Shan found that the situation was wrong, so he didn't care about the stinging pain in his eyes, and pounced in the direction of Mo Yu. Mo Yu clenched the tiger talisman and curled up to hide under the table. Guo Shan couldn't pounce, lost his balance, and hit his head heavily on the corner of the table.
Mo Yu crawled out from the other side, and pushed hard against the copper square bottle on the table, and the copper square bottle was smashing on Guo Shan's head, and the room was so quiet that almost only the sound of Mo Yu gasping for breath remained.
She picked up the tiger charm and was about to leave, when she turned back and grabbed a handful of incense ashes and sprinkled them on his bleeding wound.
At this time, countless torches suddenly lit up outside the house, and Huang Qi shouted loudly outside the door: "There is a sudden emergency military situation, please move to the middle hall to discuss." ”
They were worried that Mo Yu would miss, and after the report, General Huang Qi immediately took his lieutenant and personal guards and directly surrounded Guo Shan's residence. In front of everyone's eyes, they also took away the ink rumors with a good name.
The ink rumors in the room have words of suffering, in front of so many people, she can't swagger out and say that Lord Neishi has been knocked out by her.
