Qilian Mountain is known as the first mountain in the south, the mountain is endless, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a natural city wall in the south of the country, the mountain peaks are stacked on top of each other, towering into the clouds, the forest sea is lush and forested, and it is endless.

If you look down from the top and look down on the entire southern land, Qilian Mountain is like a green link, firmly tied around people's waists.

The whole Qilian Mountain inside the area is very vast, in addition to the south of the Qilian City Xiongguan built by the mountain, there are countless sentry posts hidden in it, the internal defense is tight, than the imperial city is not much more than that, it can be called a small card in three steps, a big card in ten steps, overlapping and overlapping, even if the birds spread their wings, it is difficult to cross this place.

In addition to the soldiers stationed here, there are also many hermits, as well as hunters, pharmacists, etc., who are registered in Qilian City and are allowed to live in the mountains for a long time.

The small valley where the two live is completely a natural and unique small cave, I don't know how many outsiders are envious, the two of them usually sell medicines and practice medicine for a living, so there are medicine fields around the thatched hut, and the dried herbs are hung everywhere in the house, as the inner house where the old man lives, there is a strong medicinal fragrance perennial filling the whole room.

The man lying on the straw mat on the ground opened his right eye with great difficulty, due to two consecutive serious injuries, coupled with excessive blood loss, his whole face became pale, even if he is awake now, he still feels cold, has no strength, his brain is groggy, he just wants to continue to sleep, and subconsciously wants to raise his arm, but it seems to weigh a thousand pounds, and the whole hand only twitches slightly, and he can't move.

He heard some movement, and tried to turn his head to look, but what caught his eye was only a vague figure, which was Han Ruying, a girl who was boiling ointment in the kitchen.

This is an important source of income for the family, because the grandfather and grandson have been living in this naturally formed small valley, the medicine gardens around the thatched hut have been used for decades, the herbs have been planted one after another, and the medicinal power has penetrated into the land, resulting in even the herbs of ordinary years, which are much better than those sold on the general market, plus the ointment of the secret formula of the old man is good and cheap, and it has a miraculous effect on the treatment of some diseases such as rheumatism and internal injuries, so this ointment is sold very well in Qilian City, and the two of them can also make a living from it.

The man on the ground moved slightly, even if it was a slight movement, but he made a little sound.

When the girl heard the movement, she turned her head, and immediately exclaimed, and hurriedly ran over, and said, "You are awake! Hey, don't move, you are very badly injured." ”

Speaking of this, the girl stuck out her little tongue a little embarrassed, and said shyly: "But my grandfather and I can't move you, so after applying the medicine to you, I put it on the ground directly." ”

The man was much more sober at this time, and when he heard the girl's words, a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face, even though his whole body was aching and unbearable, he still said to the other party with a gentle expression: "It's okay, it's just that I have to bother my benefactor again, because I really can't walk。。。。。。 ”

This warm smile made the girl more firm in her judgment, the young brother in front of her must be a good person, and immediately said softly: "Don't worry, my grandfather is a very powerful doctor, and he will definitely be able to cure your injuries." ”

When the man heard this, he was slightly silent, and then continued to ask with a look of hope: "But, can I trouble you to tell me again about how I found out? Because I really can't remember anything, is that okay?"

Looking at the man's sad eyes, the girl nodded immediately, and said: "Well, my grandfather and I found you in Yannan Mountain, the location of Yannan Mountain is in the middle of our Weiguo and Liangguo, not very far from here, because there are some scarce herbs there, so my grandfather and I often go there to collect medicine, but we didn't go deep at that time, and we found you covered in blood in the river at the foot of the mountain." ”

"Weiguo, Liangguo?" The man's one-eyed eyes suddenly showed a look of remembrance, and he muttered, "I seem to be a little impressed, please say a little more, please." ”

The girl scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly: "Others, there is nothing to say, and then we see that although you are seriously injured, you still have a snort, because there are often horse bandits over there, grandpa is worried that you are injured by thieves, and he does not dare to deal with your injuries directly in that kind of place, so he found a board cart and asked Ah Bao to pull you back, because my grandfather and I often go in and out here, so the checkpoints along the way are not strictly checked, which brought you back here." ”

The man vaguely remembered that Ah Bao seemed to be the old donkey who was killed by the evil wolf, and it turned out that it was it that pulled him back, so he avenged it, and it could be regarded as revenge.

But there was another point that made the man ask a little puzzled, "What checkpoint?"

The girl hurriedly explained: "Qilian Mountain, it is the first checkpoint in the south of our country, so the guard is extremely strict, not only is there a Qilian City sitting in the center, but there are hidden checkpoints in various dangerous places in the mountain range, just to prevent the people of Liangguo on the opposite side from sneaking in." ”

When the man heard this, his expression froze slightly.

Because he suddenly thought of a question, in terms of accent, in the case that the girl must be a patriot, then he must be the so-called Liangguo person, because the accents of the two people are completely different, and his mind is full of thoughts at the moment, and he has a plan, so he didn't mention it more, but said lightly: "I seem to have remembered a little, I was attacked by thieves, well, horse bandits, and then thrown into the river." ”

The girl suddenly showed a clear expression, nodded violently, and said, "I knew that it must be like this!"

The man quickly changed the topic and said with some twists: "I, I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled, stood up, and said, "I'll prepare it for you right away." ”

As he spoke, he walked with pleasant steps towards the kitchen.

The man lying on the straw mat raised his head and stared at the beam of the house with a string of bacon hanging above his head, silently thinking, what a good girl this is.

------------------------------------------------------------------

In the middle of this continuous Qilian Mountains, there is a Xiongcheng that consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, took decades to complete, built by the mountain, Qilian City, its status, can be called the first Xiongguan within the country, sitting in the south, resisting the enemy for thousands of miles, it is the center of the entire southern Weiguo, and the status is even above the state cities of the two states, and it can even be said that in addition to the capital of the Weiguo, it belongs to the Qilian City in the south, the most important, after all, once the Qilian City is lost, the entire Weiguo may fall apart in a short period of time, and it is impossible to turn over。

As the center of Qilian City, it is located on the main street, covering a vast area of the city lord's mansion of Qilian City.

The first strategist under Duanmu Shuofeng, the prince of Weiguo, the scribe Wu Heng, listened to the report of his subordinates, and immediately asked with a surprised face: "Failed?"

There was a person at the bottom, wearing a strong suit, kneeling on one knee, dressed as a Jianghu person, hearing the question, he quickly replied: "Mr. Hui, the group of people who went to Huangsha County sent back the news, saying that when they were originally in the county government mansion all the way down, they suddenly encountered a peerless master sneak attack, and they were caught off guard, causing most of the people to fold over there, but it can't be said to be a failure, they killed a lot of people in one night, and now there should be only one or two alive people left in the county government." ”

When Wu Heng heard this, he just silently pinched his fingers and calculated one or two, and then suddenly sighed: "Hey, one yuan is renewed, Vientiane is renewed, this time I am in a hurry." ”

Just now, I just casually calculated one or two, and found that in that small county town, there was a feeling that the wildfire could not be burned out, and the spring breeze blew and reborn, even if there were only one or two alive left, his junior brother must have survived, otherwise there would never be such a weather.

Among their senior brothers of the same generation, there are only six people in total, and only he and the sixth junior brother Lu Yi came to this southern land, and the remaining four people all stayed in the atrium, although the little junior brother Lu Yi is the lowest in the middle of it, but he knows that these junior brothers have the ability to turn the clouds and rain, turn the world upside down, and have the ability to do everything in their lives, so to speak, if there is no little junior brother in the south, he is fully confident that he will assist the Duanmu family unicorn he chose to dominate the south, and then march into the atrium.

But even if he is confident that his strength is far above that of the sixth junior brother Lu Yi, he does not dare to let the other party make trouble behind his back, it is very simple, although he thinks very highly of himself, he is not a fool who is blindly confident, Liang Guo is now powerful after all, and the power that his junior brother can manipulate is more than him, which is like a game between the two sides, but he was forced to give up his son, and he was born backward, even if the territory is bigger and the more complex the force, in fact, the more difficult it is for these people to control, but this kind of innate gap, he does not dare to ignore it.

The ancestor of the soldier family said at the beginning that soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored.

So even if it's a sure win, don't take it lightly.

Although he didn't know why his junior brother chose the five most weak princes of Liangguo, he still wanted to take advantage of the only opportunity for the separation of the two sides to use means to divide and intercept and kill, so as to prevent future troubles.

"What about Yannanshan?" Wu Heng at this time, still holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Yannanshan because of the advantage of the terrain, he has arranged several killing moves, as long as one of them is successful, the other party will definitely die, but he must sit in Qilian City, it is inconvenient to go in person, otherwise he will command on the spot, and the other party will definitely die without a place to be buried.

The man kneeling down at the bottom hesitated, but still said: "There are two people on the other side, the main target was hit by several arrows and fell off the cliff, and the other person finally escaped desperately, but according to the news from there, it should not be able to survive." ”

When Wu Heng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "The one who fell off the cliff, where is the corpse?"

"Uh. The man's head couldn't help but have a layer of fine sweat, "They said that the other party would definitely die, so they didn't waste time going down the mountain to find the body, but came back directly to restore their lives." ”

Wu Heng put the feather fan on his lap and said angrily: "Ridiculous!

The man knelt on the ground, and said with a somewhat cringe expression: "Sir, they are the elite spies in the Qilian army, and they are all deadly on weekdays, and ten of them can be used by us, it is already for the sake of the prince's face, sir, if you want to question them, I am afraid that the other party will not pay attention to them at all." ”

When the two armies go to war, intelligence is important, spies in the open and in the dark, that is one of the most important positions in the whole army, and it must be the elite of the elite to be able to take on this important responsibility, these people are all generals directly under the commander of the Qilian Army, although most of the military ranks are not high, but the actual status is extremely high, and they will not easily ignore outsiders at all, as long as it is not a dereliction of duty in an important task, or a felony such as treason, and the rest, no matter how big a mistake is made, there is human protection, and he Wu Heng is now just a staff strategist in the prince's mansion, and he is really not qualified to blame them。

After all, even Duanmu Shuofeng himself did not completely master the Qilian Army.

Historically, there were several spies of the Qilian Army who were bullied by unwitting local officials when they returned to their hometowns and provinces, and they were directly killed in anger on the street, and in the end they were only brought back to the Qilian Army to receive punishment, and even the local court yamen had no right to arrest them, which shows their status.

When Wu Heng heard this, he could only look up to the sky and sigh and said: " Alas, how can you act so sloppily, do you know how many big people in history have escaped from the desperate situation that outsiders thought they would die, and finally soared into the sky, and then they couldn't be controlled, and they didn't die, there must be a blessing, this is the rule of heaven, Taizu of the Great Zhou, when he was a child, he should have been executed, but he escaped by his cleverness, and then he was like a blessing from the sky, and he had a smooth journey, and there was no opponent, until he unified the human race, Wei Chilin, the founding general of the country, because the enemy was afraid of dirty, and did not search carefully, he escaped by hiding in the dung heap, until he finally assisted Wei Jun to establish the country。 ”

The man asked a little puzzled: "Sir, what is the identity of this person, which can make you compare the Great Zhou Taizu with the Great General Wei Chi." ”

Wu Heng just shook his head slightly: "I said this just to warn you, unless you are sure that the enemy is dead, you should never take it lightly, alas, maybe this is fate, forget it, forget it." ”

Just now, he wanted to calculate one or two more, but he was treated by Lu Yi, the sixth junior brother who was far away in Huangsha County, and he was confused no matter how he calculated it, so he had to give up.

Wu Heng felt a sense of frustration for the first time, maybe he shouldn't have used this kind of trail in the first place?
