Chapter 151: Tacit understanding

Yelu Houxiong stayed in the border city for two days and then left.

"Master, this Yelu Houxiong is not a good stubble, you have to be careful. Xiao Er looked at Zheng Qingluan with a pensive expression, not knowing what he was thinking, so he said, "This person has to be careful." ”

"I know this" Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "He wants to use us to destroy Yelutuo Heqi, why don't you want Yelutuo Heqi to destroy us, and both sides will lose."

"This person's ghost domain tricks are really a lot, as a prince of a king, for the sake of power, he does not hesitate to sell the interests of his country, this kind of person will not be able to solve his hatred after a thousand cuts. Bai scolded while adding charcoal to the brazier.

"Isn't there such a person in our court, I'm afraid there are not a few people who want to destroy the Xiao family's army with the hands of the Tartars. Zheng Qingluan sneered, "You said that even if the emperor knew, he acquiesced, pretended not to know or disagreed, and quietly disposed of those people."

The hairs on Xiao Er's back instantly rose, and the emperor would only acquiesce at first, and when Xiao Jiajun really folded, he would go back to deal with the person who betrayed the news. That's in his interest.

Seeing that Xiao Er understood, he said, "There is no shortage of such people anywhere, and the real cruelty is never the battlefield, but the unsavory transactions behind the shady scenes." So, you let this Yelu Houxiong be stared to death, I don't believe he only made a deal with us. Look at who else is in contact with the people around him, and don't relax, such as that Mr. Han. ”

"Yes," Xiao Er bowed his head and went down. Now it's time to see the real thing.

"We haven't been back for a few days" Zheng Qingluan saw that the snow outside was light and drifting sporadically, so he wanted to go back to the Shuai Mansion to take a look.

"It's been almost ten days," Baiyi whispered.

"It's been so long" Zheng Qingluan really didn't think that this time had passed too quickly.

"No," Baiyi complained, "Wubo and Danyang have already asked people a few times." ”

"That's long enough," Zheng Qingluan got up, "Then go back and stay for two days, and you can relax and relax." ”

"It's not just us who are relaxed," Baiyi said with a smile, "You have set up camp in the tent, and the others have to accompany you, and everyone hasn't been home for a long time." ”

"Oh, it's really my mistake," Zheng Qingluan smiled, "You didn't remind me." Come on, don't say anything, just leave right away. ”

Baier asked with a smile, "Do you need to tell a few generals?"

"Let's talk about it," Zheng Qingluan said as he walked, "Let's just say that they have worked hard, and they will all go home and rest for a few days." ”

After half an hour, he returned to the Shuaifu. Xiao Wu and Zhou Hai are here, and everything is running normally in Shuaifu. Zheng Qingluan went to see Uncle Wu first, and when he saw that they were all well, he returned to his yard.

The room has prepared medicinal soup, which is for bathing to remove the cold on the body. The room was not cold, and there was a big stove, and there was medicine boiling in the casserole on the stove, Zheng Qingluan knew that this was the same as the effect of a sauna. Even bubbles and steaming, half an hour smaller, I only feel that my whole body is up and down, and even my bones are soft. It was still one hundred and two half-pulls and half-hugging to drag her out.

"I'm tired this time," Baiyi frowned, "but I have to rest for two days." ”

Zheng Qingluan was wrapped in a nightgown and lying on the warm kang, really not even wanting to move a finger.

When Xiuyi came in, he carried a food box, "Why don't you go to sleep with something." She put the rice on the kang table, "Red dates and millet porridge, cold mung bean sprouts, and pickled cucumbers." Very light. After eating and sleeping, I am not afraid of accumulating food. ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded, "I'm really hungry" and was about to sit up.

"Why don't I feed my master. Bai said as he put a cloak on Zheng Qingluan.

"No" Zheng Qingluan is not a squeamish person. I sat up and drank three bowls of porridge in a row, ate two side dishes, and then slipped into the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already the time to hold the lamp. I slept for most of the day.

Instead of being refreshed, I seem to be more sleepy. But his stomach cried, and he was hungry again.

Baiyi smiled and said, "The medicine pestle has already been explained." Say you're recovering in the past two days, and you're sure to be able to eat and sleep. The meal is already ready, can you use it now?"

"Hmm" Zheng Qingluan wiped his hands and face with a hot handkerchief, sobered up a little, and in a half-confused state, he killed two large bowls of beef ramen.

After going on like this for two days, Zheng Qingluan felt that he had come back to life. It's like there's an inexhaustible amount of strength all over my body. "The ability of the medicine pestle is good, and the means of conditioning the body are becoming more and more superb."

"When we meet a master who doesn't cherish our own bodies, if we don't grow up, what can we do" Seeing that Zheng Qingluan looked like he was going out, Baiyi hurriedly took a big hat and put it on for Zheng Qingluan.

Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "When the evening comes, let the medicine pestle prepare a medicinal bath for those little cubs." I'm not old, and the training intensity is not small, so don't lose your body. ”

"Got it," Baiyi replied with a smile. How expensive those medicinal materials are, only the medicine pestle knows, and it is estimated that it will be distressed for a few days.

The group of cubs was mentioned just now, and Zheng Qingluan simply went directly to the place where they were in class. This is the time for them to learn how to write. These days, they take turns to feel the barracks, and they have almost experienced it. The physical fitness is still a little worse than that of adults, but the fighting skills are good, and three or five adults can't get close to them. It was precisely because of this exposure that those veterans in the army did not raise objections to the entry and exit of these little cubs in and out of the barracks.

As soon as Zheng Qingluan entered the classroom, everyone looked up almost at the same time. Zheng Qingluan, who was going to sneak a look at it and leave, was stunned, his vigilance was quite high

Seeing that the person who came in was Zheng Qingluan, everyone put down the pen in their hands in unison and stood up, "Please be safe." ”

"You don't have to be polite to sit down. Zheng Qingluan sat in front of him, "Your training during this period of time has been fruitful, but it is still far from my expectations, and you still need to continue to work hard." ”

"Yes," the crowd responded. There was no dissatisfaction on his face.

Zheng Qingluan nodded with satisfaction, and just as he was about to get up, he saw Liu Xinshou stand up, "Master, you said that a warrior who has never seen blood cannot be called a warrior." So, let's fight"

"That's right, it's not a saying that mules come out and slip through horses. "The man who spoke was called Kanglai. His mother is Han Chinese, and his father is unknown. He was a tall boy.

Some people came out, others followed and screamed.

These guys don't know the height of the sky. Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "Now that the border is too peaceful, where is there a battlefield?"

"The master is not saying that if necessary, he does not rule out taking the initiative to open up the battlefield. Liu Xinshou stood straight, looking like he would not give up without giving permission.

Good boy is waiting for me here. It is easy to take the initiative to open up the battlefield, if you really take the initiative to start a war against the Tartars, those masters in the court must not drown her with saliva. Harmony is precious, and for barbarians, it is necessary to focus on the education of saints. Thinking about these arguments, Zheng Qingluan hated to pull these old masters to the front of the battle to block the gun's eye.

"Okay, you guys get ready. Zheng Qingluan's heart moved, and he nodded. "In the near future, there will be tasks down. ”

"Really" These boys obviously didn't expect the master to agree so happily.

"There is no joke in the army" Zheng Qingluan straightened his face, "Seeing blood is not only seeing the blood of the enemy, but also including your own ask yourself, are you ready?"

"Ready" everyone shouted, neatly aligned, full of fighting spirit.

"Okay" Zheng Qingluan stood up, "Let's prepare for the battle actively." ”

After saying that, he went out with Baiyi.

The two hurriedly went to the outer study, and Baiyi couldn't help but ask, "The master really plans to use them now"

"Hmm" Zheng Qingluan sat down, not knowing what he was thinking, "Go and call Xiao Er." ”

"Yes" Bai Yi turned around and went out, and after a while, he came in with Xiao Er.

"I remember you told me that to the east of the border city, bandits are rampant in Ping'an Prefecture, I don't know if it's true" Zheng Qingluan motioned for Xiao Er to sit down, and then asked softly.

"Yes" Xiao Er didn't know what Zheng Qingluan meant, or replied, "Ping'an Prefecture is the only way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, the land is barren and the ravines are criss-crossed, which naturally breeds bandits. The caravans did not dare to pass without a dart escort. ”

"After the beginning of spring, we also have a caravan. Aren't we going to the east?" Zheng Qingluan asked with a smile.

"Let's go south and then east, bypassing Ping'an Prefecture, and it will take an extra three or five days, which is not a big problem. Xiao Er thought for a while, "Besides, they didn't dare to think crookedly when they saw the banner of the Xiao family's army." Our guard post to the east is only half a day's journey from Ping'an Prefecture, and there are 5,000 elite soldiers stationed there, and they dare not touch our things unless they are crazy. ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded. After thinking about it, he said, "What would happen if a team of people were sent to press two truckloads of goods, without the banner of Xiao Jiajun, and lived from Ping'an Prefecture?"

"Then I will definitely not let it go," Xiao Er said with a smile, "The New Year will be in two months, and the bandits will have to buy New Year's goods." ”

Zheng Qingluan smiled, and then ordered, "Then let Tianyi arrange people to press two carts of stones, if someone really robs it, don't fall in love, just run back." ”

Isn't this sincere to provoke trouble Xiao Er looked at Zheng Qingluan, "Master, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything," Zheng Qingluan looked innocent, "Exploring the way for our caravan turned out to be robbed." People are bullying us, and I don't want to send troops to clean it up."

"Ah" Xiao Er understood, this was taking the initiative to find fault, so as to suppress the bandits. "You have to know, what kind of crime is Xiao Jiajun's trespassing in Ping'an Prefecture, aren't you rushing to provoke the emperor's tiger whiskers?"

"Who said that I used the Xiao family army" Zheng Qingluan smiled scoundrelly, "They are all dolls in the border city, because the goods were robbed, they have no money to buy new clothes, no money to buy candy to eat, they are angry, they ride horses and slip over, and they are not angry for a while, and they slaughter those bandits." Can anyone say anything I remember that the imperial court issued a proclamation, civilians beheading bandits, not only are they not guilty, but they can also receive a reward with a head, a person has two taels of silver, right?"

Xiao Er glanced at Zheng Qingluan helplessly, it turned out that he wanted to train the boy scouts, he nodded, "Yes, then I'll arrange it." ”

Zheng Qingluan gave a look of acquaintance, and let Xiao Er go down with satisfaction.

Xiao Er understood what Zheng Qingluan meant, and this time he didn't use anyone else to disguise the goods. It's all loaded by the boys of the Boy Scouts.

At first, Liu Xinshou and the others didn't understand what they were doing with stones, but two days later, the entire border city was spreading that the guards who were exploring the way for the caravan came back, but the goods were robbed in Ping'an Prefecture.

What kind of place is the border city, ninety percent of the soldiers are generals, who can bear this dumb loss. What's more, the caravan is composed of some wounded and veterans, and the caravan is the way for these people to live, who can guarantee that they will not be injured, and there will be no day when they are old. For a while, the crowd was excited, and they all shouted to kill it.

The soldiers below don't know the truth, but Li Zhiqian and these people know it. Where did the goods come from, isn't it just two truckloads of black stones, this is obviously a condom, or a condom set up by running to someone else's territory. I'm looking for something to do.

As soon as Liu Xinshou heard it, there was nothing they didn't understand, and the next task was to suppress the bandits

Within two days, Li Zhiqian received a message that he was handling military affairs and that his master was going to go out for two days. Then I got the news that the boy scouts of the Shuai Mansion were fully armed and left the Shuai Mansion and hurried out of the city and headed east.

Li Zhiqian suddenly realized that he had taken a group of little cubs to suppress the bandits, and then he was calm. The children in the border towns have grown up on horseback, and they are wild. Now that it's been specialized, there's nothing to worry about.

Liu Zhike is different from Li Zhiqian, because among the people who go there is his family, can he not worry

Zheng Qingluan only brought one hundred and two this time. But in the shadows, follow the special combat team led by Tianyi. The first time you go out on a mission, it is inevitable that there will be some unexpected situations.

The road is difficult to walk in the snow, and it takes more time on the road than planned.

"Master, twenty miles further on, there is the Tiger King Village. Liu Xinshou grabbed the reins, "The scout reported, five miles ahead, found the other party's sentry, a total of fifteen people, three horses." We can't go any further. ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded appreciatively, "Listen to your command." ”

Liu Xinshou smiled confidently, "Yes" before turning around and ordering, "Bury the pot and make rice, and rest quickly." ”

Zheng Qingluan raised his eyes and saw that the camping place he chose was also good, behind the hills, it was easy to hide, and it was leeward. You can advance or retreat

"Master, after dark, do you want to solve the sentry first. Liu Xinshou asked Zheng Qingluan's opinion.

"To be quick, we have to try to buy as much time as possible. Zheng Qingluan inspired, "Why do you have to wait until the evening, can't they be during the day, they only have fifteen people and three horses." ”

Liu Xinshou frowned and chewed the jerky in his mouth, quietly listening to Zheng Qingluan.

"Stupid, we don't have much to offer. It takes too long and takes too much time on the road. We can't afford it," the voice was a little crisp.

Zheng Qingluan looked back and saw that it was Guo Feiyan, "Why did you come with me?"

Guo Feiyan smiled, "I'm here with me, the master can't drive me back." ”

Kang Lai leaned over, "This girl is very powerful, and she didn't hold back." ”

Zheng Qingluan couldn't cry or laugh, "Then follow me." Don't mess around with those kids. ”

Guo Feiyan responded loudly.

Liu Xinshou glanced at Guo Feiyan, "Let's get down to business." The question is how do we get close to them."

"There are many people and they are afraid, can they still be vigilant with three or five hairy children" Guo Feiyan's excited eyes lit up, "If you add me, a beautiful girl like a flower, they are only afraid that they will not be vigilant." ”

"Pull it down," Liu Xinshou interrupted Guo Feiyan, "Do you remember the master's Journey to the West, why did a red child appear in the barren mountains and mountains out of nowhere, except for Tang Seng's stupid one, who can't see the strangeness." Those who go to the rivers and lakes know that don't bully the old and young who are single and weak, because anyone like this must have extraordinary skills if they can walk around outside and be safe and sound. These bandits have seen a lot of people, and we are like us, who are strong and strong, each with tendons and flesh, and it is not easy to deceive other people's eyes. ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded secretly, and said, "You still have to guard against them from having other means of contact and warning, and you can't let them pass on the news by any means." It is necessary to hit the blow and leave no room for survival. ”

"On this snowy day, there is no way to hide your tracks. And it must be resolved as soon as possible, without delay. Liu Xinshou said helplessly, "I can only swagger and go." ”

Zheng Qingluan smiled and said in his heart, he was a little bold. "Alright, I'll take the lead this time, and you'll all show me. ”

Liu Xinshou's eyes lit up, and he nodded yes.

"The number of people should not be large, Liu Xinshou, Kang Lai, Mei Lin, Jin Shun. Zheng Qingluan ordered four people, and when he saw Guo Feiyan's eyes, he smiled and said, "Guo Feiyan should go too." ”

Sure enough, I saw that the girl's smiling teeth were leaking out.

This time, one hundred and two were left behind. Because the army is on the march, it is not as good as the house, and it can only carry out the order, and does not dare to raise objections. But thinking that there is Tianyi in the dark, I am not too worried.

Six people, six fast horses, arrived at the sentry post of the Tiger King Village in a quarter of an hour.

Zheng Qingluan did not slow down all the way, and only then did he pull the reins and forcibly stop until he came to the sentry, looking like he had changed his mind temporarily. She stopped the horse and shouted at the sentry, "But the brother of the Tiger King Village, our big boss asked me to bring a good voice to the boss of Guizhai Qi" didn't wait for the other side to speak, and shouted again, "It's out of a panting grandma, what's the matter if you don't give face to the master, it's really on his territory, and it's time to put up a shelf." So saying, he dismounted.

Liu Xinshou saw that his master looked like a robber who was more robber than a robber, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground in shock. However, a few people were quite clever, and immediately put on a strong appearance.

Zheng Qingluan pulled out the whip in his hand and headed towards the sentry, and at this time the wooden door of the sentry opened. A few people came out of it, and the first one was a middle-aged man with a full beard. "I don't know which way you are on."

Zheng Qingluan restrained his expression and bowed, "I live in Sanshangang, and Sanshui is prosperous in front of the door." Nine pillars of incense in the hall, seven sons in the hall are still "After speaking, he looked at the middle-aged beard with an expectant face.

I saw that the other party looked at his accomplice, and then scratched his head, "What do you mean?"

"You don't know the jargon," Zheng Qingluan's face changed, "Boss Qi is really a capable person, put those who don't know the jargon on the road, and look down on people."

Jargon, also called black words. That's a more professional thing, where can they be, it's just that people have heard about it, and they know that there is such a thing. As for what kind of jargon is, they really don't know. I didn't expect to really run into a Taoist person. Seeing that the other party is young, he can't stand up to other people's professionalism.

Liu Xinfu and the others watched their master talk nonsense, comparing the authentic bandits to the layman.

The man smiled, "Since we are friends on the road, let's come in and warm up before leaving." "Very warm greeting. It's not that people don't doubt their identity, and it's not that people are easy to coax, but how can there be good people who take the initiative to greet the mountain bandits, since they are not good people, they are still young, and there are girls in it, such a combination can probably be regarded as people in the same way.

Zheng Qingluan pretended to hesitate, and Guo Feiyan said smartly, "Master, the slave family wants to rest." ”

Zheng Qingluan secretly praised it, it is necessary to cooperate like this. Impatiently said, "Women are troubles"

Kang Lai grinned, and said angrily, "I'm going to feed the horses, and I'll have to hurry in a while." As he spoke, he asked the crowd for help, "Which eldest brother will take the younger brother to the stable," he said, and took out a silver ingot from his bosom.

Sure enough, two people immediately came over, "Let's help the little brother feed the horses." With that, he took the reins and took Kang with him. Kang Lai nodded at Zheng Qingluan, and moved his finger a few times, which meant that the two people and the three horses were handed over to him to take care of.

Merlin grinned and chased after Kanglai, "The food is still on horseback, and I have been eating the stubble cakes for a few days while the kitchen is hot." He turned around and shouted, "Come and help the two big brothers, I can't treat you badly." ”

Seeing that three more people went to the kitchen, Zheng Qingluan raised his eyebrows and entered the house with a smile, and a big fire pit in the main hall burned the whole room warmly. No small space.

Liu Xinshou and Guo Feiyan followed Zheng Qingluan into the house, but Jin Shun was guarding the door. It seems to be wary of someone approaching outside, but in fact, it is to prevent fish from slipping through the net and rushing out.

Zheng Qingluan sat down and looked around, "The brothers are bitter enough."

"It's not easy to do business these days. The middle-aged beard sighed, "It's cold and snowy, and no one goes out." If no one goes out, we have no business. ”

"That's the reason," Zheng Qingluan smiled, "Except for us who add blood to the knife edge, who goes out on such a day." ”

"I don't know what the little brother chose to go out at this time," the beard asked cautiously.

"Don't you know," Zheng Qingluan explained with a smile, "The road from the capital to the border city is the most lively time in the first two months. I'm here to discuss with your boss. If it's done well. I can have a fat year. ”

"That can't," the beard shook his head and said, "We are familiar with this piece, if ten years ago, you said that the road in the border city is now busy with my letter, it is all a festival with the nobles in the capital, and it is always valuable." At that time, we were greedy, but we didn't dare to touch the things of the Xiao family. Now."

"The master of the Xiao family is back again," Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "It's just a girl, so we don't care if we do a vote." ”

At this time, Liu Xinshou had already pinched the wolf smoke fuse hidden in the crack of the wall. And Guo Feiyan took the opportunity to add firewood to the fire pit, and had already sprinkled the drug into it.

It's a really good fit
