By the time the people of Yijian Villa entered the boundary of the Eastern Capital, it was already August 14.

It's been more than a month since that meeting in the main hall...

According to Yan Yeyi's statement, the evil will not add any more help.

But to this day, Lin Manliu and the news they can receive, except for the war disaster in the Eastern Capital and the rumors of the demon queen, there is no other news available.

As a result, it is inevitable that the young man will secretly think, but there is no other layout except for blocking the southward movement and contacting people outside the pass?

It shouldn't be like this...

Fortunately, during their journey north, they also heard some relevant developments related to the defenders of the Eastern Capital and the Hebei rebels.

It is said that the rebels broke through several times, but they were successfully stopped by the defenders, and even suffered heavy losses twice, as long as the defenders of the eastern capital at the foot of the mountain took the opportunity to attack the top of the mountain, the rebels would be all ambushed.

However, whether it was the first time or the second time in the near future, the defenders of the eastern capital did not continue the offensive, and returned to the foot of the mountain to reorganize and rest.

When you inquire about these news again, you will inevitably listen to some bold words between the push of the wine glass.

"If it were me, I would have cleaned up those bandits a long time ago!"

"Damn, these soldiers eat our grain all day long, and it's so unfavorable to do things..."

"I shouldn't have pretended to be lame back then, if I had stepped forward with armor and a knife, I would have given those rebels all karma!"

These words of self-reliance abound in the tea stalls and restaurants, as if the defenders stationed at the foot of Jialansi Mountain were no different from dung in their eyes.

After penetrating into the boundary of the Eastern Capital, the people of Yijian Villa are now hiding in an abandoned mansion in the southwest of Jialan Temple.

This place is about thirteen or fourteen miles away from the camp at the foot of the mountain.

There were no scouts patrolling the route, so it was relatively safe.

Lin Manliu found a few family letters from the house that looked like a study.

I have a general understanding of the origin of the house here, and the owner of the courtyard is surnamed Song, who should be a sleek person who is good at pleasing the eunuchs.

Relying on the support of the eunuchs, in the past years, there was no evil in the eastern capital, and any girl who fell in love would rob this mountain mansion.

On top of this "family letter", I wrote shamelessly that my Song family has a big business, who do you want to take to the bed, aren't they all hand-to-hand?

However, the family business written in this book was almost reduced to ashes in front of Lin Manliu and others, leaving only the dilapidated houses with courtyard gates and some ruins.

Come to think of it, someone must have subverted it, so that the wicked can no longer go unpunished.

Lin Manliu put the letters back in their place, walked out of the study again, and found that Yue Hanzhi had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

The latter asked casually, but what did he find?

The boy told the woman all the evil deeds he had just seen.

Yue Hanzhi sighed: "Looking at the degree of damage to these houses, I'm afraid it was more than ten years ago, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, and the most evil people can't escape..."

Lin Manliu said: "The wicked have their own wicked grinding, no matter what the purpose of the people who come here to destroy the village, after all, they will let the villains on the side of the disaster ambush them." ”

Yue Hanzhi said: "I have a general understanding, let's go and explain it to the old liar first!" ”

Lin Manliu nodded in response, "Hmm." ”

The two walked towards the main hall of the mansion together, but when they saw Ye Dang listening, they found that the old liar had moved out of nowhere there were as many as forty or fifty high stools.

Behind these chairs and stools, there are four or five round tables, which can be seen from their style, most of which were preferred by wealthy merchants in the early years.

Whether it is those high stools or round tables, the surface is extremely bright, and there is no dust at all, which is extremely inconsistent with the abandoned mansion here.

But these incompatible ornaments appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Ye Dang also shouted from time to time, so that they didn't have to control their hands and feet, and they wouldn't get in the way if they bumped it.

"Hey, I said that you don't care about the things in Zhuangzi on weekdays..."

"Why did you encounter some of these second-class goods today, why are you still cautious, can you move it or what?"

"You can use whatever you want, and when it gets cold at night, I'll still have firewood!"

Lin Manliu was very strange when he heard Ye Dang's tone, and when he approached the back of the yellow-shirted figure, he punched him solidly.

Ye Dangting turned his head and saw that Yue Hanzhi was behind the young man.

He immediately laughed: "I don't know what news is on Lin Daxia's side, I'm lucky enough to find a secret room... There's a bit of a rarity in there! ”

Lin Manliu glanced at Ye Dang, he didn't want to say a joke to this old liar at this moment.

But in just a few words, the boy finished telling everything he had learned.

The yellow-shirted old liar laughed more and more when he heard it, and watching his face change, Lin Manliu felt a little inexplicably familiar.

If he laughs like that, it's not going to be a good thing...

Ye Dang heard the words and spoke out: "The family letter you saw is very similar to the calculation of the Moon Woman, and this place has indeed been destroyed." ”

Lin Manliu asked, "Is there a discovery in the secret room?" ”

Ye Dangting shook his head, saying that in the secret room, there were mostly gold, silver and jade, calligraphy, painting and antiques.

All they can use now are these tables and chairs, and they can make some food by making a fire later, which will be better than eating dry food these days.

The old liar has not read those letters, how can he be so confident?

And in a short time, you can also search for the secret room in the abandoned house.

An answer suddenly flashed in the young man's heart.

But the evil originated in the Eastern Capital...

Lin Manliu asked: "From the beginning to the end of the house here, has it been included in the book?" ”

Ye Dang gave a thumbs up to the young man and said loudly: "Lin Daxia is really smart!" Moon Lady is such a good match, what a blessing..."

Yue Hanzhi said solemnly: "Bother the owner of Ye Zhuang to be serious..."

Ye Dang listened to the answer: "Uh... Well, then I'll tell you about the tragedy of more than ten years ago! ”

In the old liar's later words, both of them heard a rough story, almost a Jianghu man who avenged his wife, and finally slaughtered the family of the wife killer after many years of forbearance.

The teenager's mood did not stop at the story itself.

What he thought was that after the deliberations of the Autonomous Temple were over, they would have no more contact with the evil spirit.

Even if Ye Chengzhu said it in his early years and heard it with the old liar, why is it so coincidental...

They went north because of the war disaster in the Eastern Capital, and when they entered the boundary of the Eastern Capital, they could rely on the mansion here as a stronghold?

Even coincidentally, there was a well-preserved secret room, which left enough materials for their subsequent exploration.

According to the results of the deliberations in the main hall, and the old liar told them what they expected, they all had to start an incident in Jiangnan.

It is right to use Jiang Yanlin as the banner of the teacher, and then gather the forces that resist the queen of Nasu along the way.

At this point, the boy finally realized that something was wrong.

Lin Manliu asked out loud: "So if there is no Jiang Yanlin, you and Ye Chengzhu have planned it early in the morning?" ”

Ye Dang listened to the answer and asked: "Wait a minute, do you want to find some game, give the brothers a cushion for their stomachs, I haven't tasted meat for several days..."

The boy pressed the yellow-shirted figure on the shoulder, forcing him to stare into his eyes.

"What the hell is there that you can't tell us..."

The two words of us here are Lu Fengbai, Xue Tang, Chongying, and Lin Manliu himself, who is also the master he respects, and the fetters in his heart.

Ye Dang was relieved when he heard this, and knew that he couldn't get through the tricks, so he had to tell the whole story slowly.

This is the third time that Lin Manliu has asked the old liar what he and Ye Chengzhu talked about on the lonely boat.

At the same time, it was also the third time that Ye Dangting replied to him, the plan on the lonely boat that night.

Every time, what Ye Dang heard was the truth, and the content involved also appeared one after another in the follow-up.

When he heard that Dongdu was the first plan of the two, Lin Manliu's wrist was already clasped on the old liar's shoulder.

Because in their plan, no matter when they set off, Yijian Villa would be "defeated" after going north and would continue to hide.

Someone needs to die in a war, someone needs to make a clear will with blood, and there needs to be bones piled up to build a way forward...

Then let this feat of uncovering the pole arouse the indignation in the hearts of the people, to encourage the ambition of those who hoard private soldiers, and to make the Empress Su, who feels that she is in power, panic about it.

Lin Manliu asked: "If these things are true, you don't tell Master Lu and me, why don't you even tell Master?" ”

Ye Dang muttered: "No matter how careful the layout is, she still needs to follow the changes of the world, she will be worried..."

The boy raised his punch and gently slammed it into the old crook's shoulder.

"This is your second punch, remember!"

Ye Dang listened to the chin and shouted, understand.

......

To the northeast of Yijian Villa, where the high mountain where the Jialan Temple was built, there was a very tacit preparation of one thing on and off the mountain.

The leaders on both sides have made a plan, and the final battle is to the death!

Wang Chong had been besieged for more than a month due to the instructions of the general of the Dark Night Cavalry, and he had never received the general's attack order.

In the case that there is no possibility of persuasion at all, that person is still determined to do this, it is nothing more than wanting to torture Guan Xiao and the others.

He secretly sent his cronies, ready to do it at any time, so as to give the rebels on the mountain a good time.

On the side of Guan Xiao, there was nothing to eat in the temple as early as half a month ago, and these days, everyone relied on the mountain spring to satisfy their hunger.

Those who still had strength led the team by Zheng Kuan and Zhou Biao, and attacked the forest to inspect the scouts.

The horses and the dry food they were carrying were scavenged and brought back to the temple to be fed with their comrades.

On a few occasions, they found an opportunity, and in order to be able to grab more, they rushed directly to the weakly defended camp at the foot of the mountain.

It was true that more food was eaten, but it also cost too many of his comrades because of it.

For these sacrifices, Zhou Biao couldn't say anything comforting, so he could only joke at the brothers under him.

"On weekdays, Lao Tzu eats the most, and I'll go down first that day! The big guy will be able to get more rations, good thing! Meddlesome! ”

Guan Xiao didn't make a sound after hearing this, just kicked between his thighs, and then walked towards the tower.

In these days, he has calculated many breakthrough routes, but he can't get around a hurdle in the end.

is the former friend who has changed his rules for some reason in the camp under the mountain, and the mysterious general in Zheng Kuan's mouth.

The current deadlock can only be broken by breaking the kettle.
