On the second day, Echeng suddenly sent a black fat scribe to knock on the pass, saying that Huai Xiangxing was about to go out of the hunting ground, and he stepped on the Lan Valley on the way, and asked the valley owner to prepare to meet him. Wu Kui made a look of sincere fear and flattery: "I don't know when Huai Xiang will come, so I will sweep the court and wait for the honor!"

The black fat scribe said angrily: "Huai Xiang has a lot of opportunities, and he should come from the meeting!" What are you anxious about?"

Lin Bozi said good things with a smile on his face, and the black fat scribe shook his fat body and walked away.

"This thief kills talents!" Wu Kui scolded hatefully.

That night, Langu quietly got busy. Although Lin Bo is not a military person, his dispatch affairs are very neat, and he runs back and forth with the others, but he is also in order. The strong men took turns to defend the city, and put the rolling logs, stones, and fire oil rockets that were carried to the three arrow towers in place, so as not to make mistakes in the first engagement.

The women who remained were loaded with arrowheads from the arrowheads they had sharpened during this period of time, and then loaded them into quiver pots and sent them to the arrow tower. The servants hurried to prepare the meal, because they could not cook the smoke too much, so they had to use smokeless charcoal to bake the meat on the stove that warmed the fire in winter, and then knead the dough in large quantities to prepare for the emergency cooking.

Wu Kui was dressed in sheepskin soft armor and patrolled back and forth, and specially instructed a group of young servants to move the wolf dung they had searched for a few days ago to the highest lonely peak in the Lan Valley, and build a small beacon tower overnight.

One day later, the black fat scribe came again and read a volume of edicts to Wu Kui: Three days later, the Huai Xiang Safari is coming, and the valley lord is invited to bathe and fast from now on to show solemnity. After reading the Xiang Order, the black fat scribe smiled reservedly: "The Xiang Ye has a saying, three days later, Lan Gu has to open the palace door day and night to show his sincerity to the VIPs. Does the valley owner understand?"

Wu Kui shook his head indifferently while holding the Lingshu: "I have no soldiers, and I am a woman, opening the door of the village, are you teaching wolves, insects, tigers and leopards to enter?"

The black fat scribe waved his hand: "Huai Xiang will send troops and horses to guard Langu, and the valley master will only bathe and fast with a pure heart!"

Wu Kui smiled: "Okay, the little girl only bathes and fasts with a pure heart, remember it."

The black fat scribe smiled disdainfully and swaggered away.

Wu Kui suddenly slammed the order book into the bronze tripod in the hall, and the bamboo slips suddenly flew around, turned around and whispered with a blue face: "Don't be busy anymore, the weapons and meals can be prepared in three days." From today on, except for the spies sent to the village, they will all eat and sleep enough to recuperate!"

Limberno strode out of the hall with a loud voice.

Three days later, it was the season of valley rain, and the heavens corresponded to the name of the season. The drizzle and willows hang low, and the valley is shrouded in an endless drizzle.

At noon, an old shout came from the arrow tower: "The advance of the Exiang honor guard has arrived--the second gate is wide open-" With a long call, two teams of foot soldiers and two horse teams entered the official road outside the southwest gate respectively, and rumbled on both sides outside the second gate cave. qs

The troops have been decided, and the commander of a thousand men outside the south gate arched his hand to the arrow tower and said loudly: "Report to the valley master, the last general will be ordered to protect the valley at the city gate!"

The voice of the elder Lin Bo came from the arrow tower: "The valley lord specially gave the guards two carts of good wine to relieve the cold of the soldiers——"

As soon as the words fell, a team of old servants creaked out of the valley gate with two ox carts. The commander looked at the neatly arranged copper hoop mahogany barrels on the ox cart and couldn't help laughing, "Good! It's a sake brewery in the old country, and it's really authentic and good!" He turned around and ordered in a loud voice: "One cart per door, two bowls per person, no more drinking!"

A soldier took the order and assigned a soldier to lead another ox cart to the west gate.

In a moment, the soldiers scattered in piles under the big trees that sheltered them from the wind and rain, and they all raised their bowls and shouted.

Before long, the soldiers all blushed, untied their armor and took off their helmets: "This wine is really strong! It's so warm!"

"What warmth? It's a fever inside and out!"

"It burns so well! Flying like a cloud!"

At this moment, the commander shook the sweat on his forehead, blushed and said loudly, "The old man has been on duty for more than ten years, and he has drunk a lot of wine!" Tell you, this is not a hundred-year-old wine, if it is a hundred-year-old wine, hehe, a bowl of drunk for three days!" Yao Yao waved his hand under several big trees: "There is nothing to do left and right, the brothers are stunned!"

There was a burst of cheers under the big tree, and then they leaned against the trunk of the tree and snored on the side of the road.

In the twilight, the Langu Manor was quiet as usual, and the spring rain was still dripping. In addition to the swaying wind lanterns in the village, the lights in the entire village are extinguished, and there is a lonely atmosphere. On the arrow tower of the two city walls, there is a long case of sacrificial wine and food, and the incense of the big tripod flickers in the fine rain and fog, which is prepared for the arrival of the prime minister. In addition to the continuous snoring outside the city, the Langu is so quiet that it makes people tremble.

Under the study corridor in the atrium, Wu Kui, dressed in a black suit and holding a short sword, had been standing silently here for a whole hour. Diao Dou started the third watch, and Lin Bo hurriedly walked over and whispered, "Gu Master, the effect of this sweat medicine can only endure the fourth watch."

Wu Kui nodded and said in a low voice, "Order the Arrow Tower, and keep an eye on closing the city gate at any time!"

Limber turned around and waved his hand, and a sturdy manservant hurried away. Lin Bo turned around and said, "Outside the village is just a team of 1,000 people, the valley master doesn't need to worry, he has to rest for a while."

Wu Kui shook his head and said, "This thousand-person team is the Hufu Guard of the Exiang Minister, not an idle rabble, at least until dawn."

Lin Bo said angrily: "I will guard the door hole, the head of the village will guard the head of the city, and the valley will be in the middle, so that the deployment will last for a day or two, and there should be a chance of victory!"

While he was talking, suddenly the green trees and red flowers in the courtyard flickered, and then the rumbling sound of killing at the city gate outside the palace gate was loud. Limber walked at his feet. Wu Kui flew out of the courtyard and ran in the direction of the high platform.

In fact, before Huaiqing set off, it had been concluded from all sources that Lan Gu was completely unguarded, and Zhuang Zhong was even more lazy. However, for the sake of propriety, two deployments were made: first, the Lord of Langu Valley was ordered to bathe and fast, and then took advantage of this opportunity to carry out a surprise attack; On the same day, a thousand-person escort team of the Prime Minister's Mansion was stationed outside the village gate to "clear the field" for the Prime Minister in advance; Then, he led the reserve team to raid the Blue Valley.

When the black fat scribe reported that the lord of Langu Valley had no objection to "opening the three doors to heaven and earth", Huaiqing looked up to the sky and smiled: "Lao Tzu is the prime minister of Hubei, under one person in Hubei and above ten thousand people, she is a little woman, how dare she have objections? I just don't know what this woman's appearance is, don't lose her appetite!"

After the second watch, the clouds closed and the rain stopped, and the sky revealed patches of blue white clouds. Huai Qingxing rushed to the Langu Manor with a horse team of 500 people.

Before arriving at Deguan Road, I saw the South Gate open from afar, and the guards rode down and lay down under the trees on the side of the road and snored loudly.
