To the west of Chang'an, far away from the city-state, there are only a few villages scattered along the way.

Li Hao and Cheng Yanjin disguised themselves as ordinary mountain people and walked in the fields.

It's summer, and you're greeted by endless ears of green wheat fluttering in the wind.

Cheng Biting Jin was born as a commoner, and he was happy to see this prosperous scene.

"Xiao Li, look at this wheat field, how well it is planted, it will be a bumper harvest in mid-autumn! It's all your fault! ”

That's right, the wheat in this field is all reproduced wheat seeds donated by Li Hao. Although these ears of wheat are not yet ripe, they can be seen from a distance, and the yield is several times that of previous years. Once this wheat is harvested, it will be a good year.

Li Hao smiled, not proud. He knew in his heart that the wheat seed was excellent, and without a reasonable system and Li Shimin's strong support, it would not be able to radiate so far away. Today's achievements are attributed to Datang.

Seeing that Li Hao did not invite credit, Cheng Yanjin had a better impression of him, and he didn't say much at the moment, and shouted to several farmers working in the fields: "A few villagers, may I ask if this is Xiaohe Village!" ”

Xiaohe Village is Li Hao's destination today, according to Heidan's investigation, the old nest of the robbers is on the mountain opposite Xiaohe Village, and Li Hao decided to use this as their foothold.

Unexpectedly, the few farmers who were still talking and laughing with each other just now immediately became alert when they saw a stranger, and they picked up the hoes in their hands and pointed them at Li Hao and the two of them and asked loudly.

"Who are you and what are you doing here!"

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said: "We are mountaineers who are walking feet, and we want to go to the other side of the mountain to carry goods, and we want to take a break and drink saliva when we pass through your village." ”

"There are no outsiders in Xiaohe Village, you should leave quickly!"

Several villagers did not let their guard down in the slightest, staring at the three of them.

Cheng Yanjin had a hot temper, and when he saw that they were indiscriminately evicted from the customer, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and he wanted to go up to reason with them.

Li Hao hurriedly pulled him down: "Guogong is slow, these villagers are not targeting us!" ”

From the eyes of these villagers, Li Hao saw three points of anger, but more fear. When thinking of the robbers in the opposite mountain, Li Hao already knew it in his heart.

"A few folks, rest assured, we are foot merchants from Chang'an, this is our paperwork, please see!"

Saying that, Li Hao took out the paperwork voucher for Chang'an to leave the city from his arms.

Several village names are literate, and after reading them, they are relieved, and the expression on their faces relaxes.

"I'm sorry two guests, we don't mean anything, we just thought you just came down from the mountain."

"Why is there incense on this mountain?"

In ancient times, bandits were rampant, they killed people without blinking, but they always regarded themselves as righteous, and they had to burn incense and worship when they went up the mountain and entered the village, so the blackening of the bandits was the incense on the mountain.

The villager smiled helplessly: "The guest is clear-eyed, I was offended just now, please come with us!" ”

Entering the village and coming to a well, Li Hao drank water while listening to the villagers talk about the banditry.

"This has been a problem for a long time, not to mention three or four years. It's just that there were not many people in the past, and there were only more than 20 in total, and they rarely appeared on Cuiping Mountain, which hid on the other side of the river on weekdays. It's just that in the last month, somehow, these thieves seem to have learned witchcraft, and suddenly there are ten times more. There has been a lot of harassment in our village, so I was so nervous when I saw a few of them! ”

"I see!" Li Hao nodded: "These thieves burn, kill and loot, and the government doesn't care?" ”

"Strange to say, although these thieves are numerous and fierce, they have not hurt anyone's lives a few times, but have only plundered livestock and grain. We have already reported the situation here to the government, and the government said that it would bring in troops to quell the bandits as soon as possible. ”

"That's weird! I've lived in Chang'an for a long time, why haven't I heard about the trouble here in Xiaohe Village! ”

"I think it's strange when you say that. In the past, every time there was a bandit, the government would always send troops to suppress it quickly, and those thieves would disperse in a hurry when they saw the arrival of the officers and soldiers. But this time, the lord of the government always said that he had reported to the authorities, let us wait with peace of mind, this has been a month, and there has been no movement! ”

"May I ask what is the surname of the local parents?"

"It's Master Lin Yan!"

Li Hao immediately turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin.

The latter whispered with a dark face: "Taiyuan people, the diners of the Wang family." ”

"Sure enough!" Li Hao knew it in his heart. They didn't stop long, and after drinking the water, they left Xiaohe Village.

"Lao Cheng, do you actually know where the parents and officials in this place come from, did they do their homework in advance?"

Cheng Yanjin nodded wordlessly, it is estimated that he is still angry in his heart at this time. What he can't see the most is that these local officials are bullying people. When he was young, he was also oppressed, so he rebelled angrily.

Li Hao smiled when he heard this, this trip to bite gold seems to be five big and three coarse, but when it is critical, he is as careful as dust, no wonder he can be appreciated by Li Shimin.

The group soon came to a riverbank woodland.

Li Hao took out a whistle from his arms and blew it hard. The whistle is long and graceful, like a bird crying in the forest.

A short time later, a similar whistle was heard not far away. Immediately afterwards, the two of them walked through the bushes and came to Li Hao and the others. The dark guard was dressed in black, and his skills were extremely agile, while the black egg was wearing a camouflage suit, although his skills were not as good as those in black, but because of the clothes on his body, he was finally discovered by Cheng Yanjin.

"See Guogong, Prince Zhen'an!" The man in black knelt down, but the black egg did not move at all.

Li Hao laughed: "This brother, now that we are on the battlefield, if you are seen by the enemy on your knees, won't you be able to see at a glance which of us is the leader?" When the time comes, Guogong and I will be assassinated, can you be held responsible? ”

The man in black was stunned, embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Cheng Yanjin also suddenly realized, no wonder Li Hao's people didn't kneel down and ask for peace, it turned out that they still had this layer of thought. It seems that this Falcon Squad is really extraordinary, and regardless of combat effectiveness, the quality of this battlefield alone is much higher than that of ordinary officers and soldiers.

Li Hao didn't say much, and asked in a low voice: "Are all our people here, are there any accidents on the road?" ”

"We will follow the instructions of the prince, break up the whole into parts, go out of the city in batches, and rush here from different directions, and no one will find out!"

"Good!" Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at the black egg again: "How about the things I told you to prepare?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll do things, don't worry!" The black egg grinned as if he were talking to a friend.

"Then go back and inform the brothers, rest in place to recover your strength, and after nightfall, the dark guards each bring a compound crossbow, and in the hidden forest, once you receive the code, immediately launch a fierce attack on the cottage! But remember to keep a hundred paces away from the enemy. The Falcon team followed me to the back mountain, and once the bandits in the cottage were attracted by the Secret Guard brothers, we immediately went up the mountain to capture the thieves. ”

"Understood, voila." The black egg patted his chest proudly, turned around and touched into the woods.

Cheng Yanjin was a little confused: "Didn't Brother Hei Dan say that the back mountain was a cliff that day?" How do we go up and arrest people? ”

Li Hao was confident: "Don't worry, Guogong, tonight, I'll let you see the real ability of the Falcon Squad!" You should also take a break to avoid dragging your feet at night! ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed: "Xiao Li, don't look down on people, although I am not young, but my martial arts have not been wasted, I will let you see what it means to be a 10,000-strong enemy tonight!" ”
