The black robe rode a horse and followed Yang Shu and his party to continue to the highlands.

There were several waves of resistance on the way, but they were all repulsed, and the high ground seemed to be getting closer and closer.

It will be late and the sun will gradually set in the west.

Yang Shu raised his head and ordered him to stop.

Ah Xuan asked: "Childe, the Zong family is familiar with the terrain, although we are two hours late, I am afraid that we have already reached the high ground, let's rest for one night before acting?" ”

Hearing this, the black robe looked at Yang Shu nervously.

Yang Shu shook his head: "The meaning of these two hours is to let Zong Rui have no time to lay out. If we have a night off, our advantage is not at all. ”

Hearing this, the black robe put his heart at ease and said with a smile: "What Childe said is true." The Zong family has guarded the northwest for generations, and they are too familiar with this mountain field, and our side is destined to be at a disadvantage. It was a good idea to take advantage of the darkness to act, and they also touched the dark and restricted their movements. ”

Yang Shu nodded and instructed Ah Xuan: "Rest on the spot, eat and drink quickly, and the old party will go out to explore the way, and act when it is night." ”

"Yes."

While waiting, the black robe followed Yang Shu closely and spoke to him: "Childe is really confident and methodical. Compared to those in Beijing, I don't know how much stronger. It can be seen that the mandate of heaven belongs to the son. ”

Yang Shu was very restrained, but he couldn't help but show a little smugness, and said: "Jiang Sheng has been jealous of me since he was a child, but incompetence is incompetence, no matter how jealous he is, he can't change the facts." ”

The black robe sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jiuquan will be relieved to learn about it. ”

This sentence made Yang Shu's expression darken.

After a while, he asked, "Mr. Lin, did you ...... What was it like when they were still around? ”

Seeing the look of fascination on his face, the black robe sighed: "In a blink of an eye, it has been twenty years. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is bold and generous, distinguishes between right and wrong, acts decisively, and treats us kindly and gently, and now he thinks back to his days in the East Palace, he is really happy......"

"What kind of existence is the Qingyun Club you are talking about? Are those members as talented as Mr. ”

Disdain flashed in the black robe's heart, and he said in his heart, that position is really attractive. He didn't ask about his father and ancestors, and he was bent on asking about the situation of Qingyun Club, which was eager to recruit talents!

Also, isn't he just determined, he is in an embarrassing situation now, and he urgently needs manpower, so he set up this plan, is it expected that he will not suspect too much?

But he smiled humbly: "We come from all over the world, and there are many strangers among them. The mountain people can be mediocre, and compared with the members of the society, they can only be regarded as the last seat. ”

"Oh?" Yang Shu's eyes lit up, and then he was a little worried, "Are they really willing to follow me?" ”

"It's nature." The black robe swore an oath, "His Royal Highness the Prince, we have not been able to repay it, and now that we know that the prince is alive, how can we not come and follow?" ”

"How many people can you contact?"

The black robe muttered, "There are four or five people who have close contacts with me. However, the son can rest assured, the rest of the people thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was extinct, so they left in disappointment. As long as the mountain people are summoned, they will soon contact Childe, and they can gather more than a dozen of them. ”

Yang Shu was very pleased: "That's good, I also have some confidence." ”

He kept chatting with the black robe, and didn't care about others.

Ning Xiu was still sitting beside him at the beginning, listening to it and getting bored, getting up and looking around. Yang Shu didn't care, the black robe thought that he was being snubbed, and he was not angry in his heart, so he just smiled secretly.

Ning Xiu finally chose a relatively distant place, untied the guqin, and plucked it gently.

A few rhythms were heard, and after a while, his ears moved, and he heard a faint chirp.

This is the tone that is blown out of the leaves of the tree.

Ning Xiu dialed back a few tones, and the two sides secretly exchanged a round of information.

Night has finally fallen.

After the Yang family finished resting, the tip of the spear was removed, the blade was wrapped in a thick cloth, and the horse was remounted.

The scouts reported that Zong Rui's men had already set up defenses around the highlands, and they wanted to seize the heights at night, and they would also fight Zong Rui's men head-on.

This is a martial arts, not a real bloody fight, so the blade and the tip of the spear must be protected.

Before Yang Shu got on the horse, he said to the black robe: "Mr. Lin, you can stay here, and when I kill it, I will release a signal." When the time comes, you order those dead soldiers, and we will capture Zong Rui alive. In this way, the conditions can be negotiated with Zongxu. ”

The black robe arched his hand: "Childe, rest assured, the mountain people have made arrangements, just waiting for Childe's order." ”

Yang Shu nodded, and said to Ning Xiu again: "Senior brother, your martial arts are not suitable for battlefield fighting, it is better to leave behind to protect Mr. Lin." ”

Ning Xiu frowned: "I'm not staying by your side, in case something happens......"

"Don't worry, there are so many people!" He winked.

Ning Xiu glanced at the black robe and nodded reluctantly: "Okay." ”

After arranging these things, Yang Shu lifted the reins and ordered: "Go!" ”

"Yes!"

The Yang family will brave the night and march to the high ground.

Seeing Yang Shu away, the black robe stretched out his hand to Ning Xiu: "Brother Ning, let's wait here for a while, waiting for the news of Gongzi's victory!" ”

Ning Xiu nodded casually and sat down with him on a stone.

The black robe took out the wine bag and handed it to Ning Xiu: "It's cold, warm up." ”

"Thank you." Ning Xiu took the wine bag, but did not enter it.

Seeing his vigilant appearance, the black robe understood in his heart and said, "Brother Ning seems to be very unwelcoming to me!" ”

Ning Xiu held the wine bag and did not speak.

The black robe said again: "Do you think that the arrival of the mountain people has robbed the son of his trust?" ”

After a while, Ning Xiu said: "I don't know what your intentions are to bewitch him like this, if Chengping is today, his background is unknown, and he has no manpower, how to fight for that position?" You're telling him to die. ”

The black robe said: "Brother Ning said this, it is unfair. The mountain people can encourage Childe, but also because Childe has already given birth to a mind. Besides, he was already in an embarrassing situation, and if he didn't take the initiative, would he wait for death? ”

Ning Xiu said coldly: "Why are you waiting to die?" He was so decent, and the emperor didn't want his life. ”

"Not wanting it now doesn't mean not wanting it in the future." The black robe continued, "You see, since we met, how enthusiastic Childe has been to me? What you hope for is not what Childe wants. ”

Ning Xiu said angrily: "You say that, are you asking me to help him rebel?" ”

The black robe touched his beard confidently: "Brother Ning is wrong, you just can't help with this matter." If you stay with Childe, you may be able to be a guard, and you won't be able to use anything else. ”

Ning Xiu's eyes were so angry that his eyes were on fire: "What do you mean?" ”

"That's what the mountain people mean." The black robe smiled, "Don't believe it, Brother Ning will wait and see tonight, and when I help Gongzi take down Zong Rui and subdue the Zong family, I will know who is most useful to Gongzi." ”

"You-"

He was furious, but the black robe was unmoved.

Ning Xiu finally said coldly: "Okay! I'll just wait and see if you can make it! ”

The black robe smiled confidently.

The two waited for a while, listening to the sound of killing in the darkness.

A short time later, a firework flew into the air.

The black robe took out the whistle and blew it, and immediately a gray-clothed man approached quickly and obeyed the order.

"Go, it's time to act!" He said meaningfully.
