Gao Huaide, a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was eighteen years old from his father's northern expedition against the Khitan, and traveled to the north of Qicheng surrounded by the Khitan army, and the reinforcements did not arrive, which was very critical. Gao Huaide shot arrows left and right, galloping vertically and horizontally, the enemy troops retreated, and he escorted his father to break out and became famous in a battle. Since then, Gao Huaide has led the army to resist the enemy for more than 40 years, and the name of bravery is not weak to fight the king Guo Nanyuan, so that the Khitan Jurchen foreign soldiers are frightened, so after the Zhou Emperor Chai Xun transferred Guo Nanyuan back to Beijing, he sent the veteran Guo Huaide to lead the elite of the three armies to guard Dengzhou to prevent foreign enemies.

Gao Huaide's sister married Lei Sheng, the founder of the county, and Lei Tianze was his nephew. Zhao Bin has long admired the name of the old general Gao, and he also knows a thing or two about it.

"Commander Zhao is right." Lei Tianze did not hide it, "This matter is urgent, Lei rushed to Dengzhou with a flying horse, met with his uncle to explain the details, and asked his uncle to send the forbidden army to help as soon as possible." However, I am afraid that it will take two days to go back and forth, and if Li Jichong and others change within these two days, it will be up to you to defend against the enemy. ”

Zhou Changhai and Zhao Bin nodded, Lei Tianze looked at Zhou Weiji again, Zhou Weiji knew what he meant, nodded and said confidently: "Brother Lei, don't worry, Zhou will go into the mountain to monitor, if the thief moves, he will take the heads of Li Jichong and Tuoba Xiao." ”

After Lei Tianze left, Zhou Weiji said goodbye to the two adults, Zhou Changhai told him to be careful, and Zhao Bin rolled up his sleeves to go with him.

"Brother Zhao, you are the commander, and you should lead the overall situation with Lord Zhou, Sanyu, Gao Feng and Ji go deep into the mountains." If something happens to Zhao Bin, the Huang County Xiang Army will panic without a leader.

Zhao Bin also knew the reason and sighed. "It can only be so, Wei Ji is a brave general under the command of the king of war, and his martial arts strategy is above Tuoba filial piety. This time, he will be able to catch the thief and return. But the enemy is outnumbered, and the guard must not be moved lightly. ”

Zhou Weiji responded one by one, rode a horse to the residence of his righteous brother Su Yongshen, looked for a knife without a blade, and explained the danger.

"Wu Feng, how about going into the mountain with me?"

Dao Wufeng's eyes burst into light. Stared at Zhou Weiji, "Second brother can trust me?" ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, "No Feng." The opportunity is rare, if you can capture Li Jichong and Tuoba Xiaozhi this time, I can also help you get rid of the guilty body, and the sky will be high from now on. Isn't it happy? ”

Su Yongshen, who was sitting on the bed, also persuaded: "Without further ado. Wufeng, you and your second brother go, this battle is dangerous, don't rush in. According to my brother's knowledge, Li Jichong's brother Li Jiqian is an official in Beijing, but in fact, he is in ambush in the mountains this time, which may also be related to Li Jiqian. The Tuoba clan has long been based on the rich land of Xiazhou and accumulated wealth. This defection to the Jurchens must have some plots, if the forbidden army attacked. Li Jichong will definitely abandon the army and flee privately, and he must be guarded against. In his brother's opinion, this person is cunning, or has a way out that others can't think of. ”

Su Yongshen was resourceful, and Zhou Wei wrote down his words carefully, "Big brother, these Tuoba thieves have excellent water quality, and Li Jichong is difficult to find in the underwater cave." The terrain in the giant cave is complex, and there are dark rivers crisscrossed, if they dive underwater? ”

His water nature is still good, and he has no blade and does not know water nature, so he is afraid that it will be difficult to save it at that time.

"Let Gao Feng take the local hunters and guard the exit of the dark river, after the forbidden army arrives, they will definitely search the mountains and catch bandits, even if they hide under the water, it is always a plan, you two must prevent Li Jichong from breaking out of the shell."

Zhou Weiji and Dao Wufeng changed into the clothes of mountain hunters, took night clothes and rode out of the city into the mountains, and found the hiding place of the peak according to the code.

Let's say that Zhou Weiji, according to the dangerous path of the giant cave pointed out by Orion, climbed the mountain and hid in the high place of the giant cave, where there is really no one to guard. It was noon, and a few rays of sunlight were shining into the cavern from the top, but the light was still dim, and there were several fires lit in the corners, and soldiers in fur coats were sitting by the fire and eating.

They nibbled on dry food over the boiling hot water in the pot, silently, without any conversation. Zhou Weiji took a closer look and found that the water they drank was taken from a spring in the giant cave. He rolled his eyes slightly, and took out two paper packets from his waist, which contained the colorless and tasteless medicinal powder that he and Liang Jin of Jishan Tang had asked for, drinking it made people's muscles weak and unnoticed, but the powder was slow to take effect, and it took some time.

Taking advantage of the fact that the person who was fetching the water was gone, Zhou Weiji silently grabbed the drooping stone in the giant cave like a raccoon cat and approached the top of the spring, sprinkled the medicinal powder into it, and flew away, hiding in the dark.

"Who is it?" Suddenly, there was a sound of harmony in the dark, and Zhou Wei thought that he had been discovered, and his muscles burst out, and he was close to the stone wall, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The sound of messy and light footsteps came, and a woman answered, "It's us." ”

The voice in the shadows softened, "It turned out to be two sisters, please." ”

Zhou Weiji exhaled lightly and relaxed. With the footsteps, I saw two beautiful maids wearing flaming red leather skirts, white leather boots, and black felt hats, one holding a torch and the other carrying a water bladder to fetch water.

"Sister, we don't have much barley noodles with us, and the king is not used to eating wheat and rice here, but how can we be good?"

The maid carrying the water bladder glanced at her, "The king likes to eat barley and glutinous rice, but he didn't say that he didn't like the food here, how do you know that the king is not used to eating it?" ”

The maid holding the torch had a fluttering look in her eyes, and her words were sad: "The king has eaten less and less recently. ”

After taking the water, the maid stood up and walked back, her tone was calm and quiet, "Wang Naitian is the son of heaven, how can he eat less because of this, my sister said carefully." ”

King? What a big breath! Li Jichong was a minister to Zhou and knew about a state, but he was called the king internally, and the ambition of the wolf son was exposed. Zhou Weiji stared at the direction in which they disappeared, and carefully looked at the guards hidden in the shadows, and found that there were no less than twenty people hidden in the dark corners everywhere, and they didn't hear the sound of their breathing movements, obviously their skills were not bad.

Zhou Weiji looked at the black double-edged scimitar held in the hands of two of them, and his eyes were heavy. This kind of knife, he's seen it!

Within about two hours, Zhou Weiji waited for the opportunity to sprinkle four packets of medicinal powder, combined with the light beams that were sprinkled outside, and the slowly drifting medicinal powder did not attract attention.

Six or seven more groups of people came to fetch water, but no one spoke, Zhou Weiji was about to withdraw slowly, but he heard the sound of steady and powerful footsteps in the dark, and the guard in the dark asked again: "Who is it?" ”

The person who came did not stop, and replied hoarsely: "It's me." ”

"Meet the General."

"Well, you've worked hard, and you'll have a good rest after changing guards."

"Yes!"

Tuoba filial piety! Zhou Weiji held his breath, closed his eyes, and almost merged with the stone wall, he knew that he couldn't move, otherwise according to this person's intuition, he would definitely be able to discover his existence.

"General, the last general has something to report." A dark figure dressed in a night suit walked in briskly from outside and bowed.

"Speak!"

"Tanma sent back the news, there were soldiers and horses out of the Dengzhou forbidden army camp at noon today, there were two thousand, and they rode fast horses straight to Huangxian."

"Yes, I already know. You quickly go to Nanshan Pass and wait for the people who come to Beijing, and you don't have to enter the grotto after receiving it, and you will follow the plan. ”

"The last will obey."

Tuoba Xiao turned around and wanted to go, and suddenly looked up at Zhou Weiji's hiding place. (To be continued......) R1292
