37 Tune the tiger away from the mountain
Yun Zhao broke away from his memories and pointed his finger at the map, the path that was painted as a thin line.
Wang Yanshu walked in, saw her holding half a steamed bun in her hand, her brows were deeply locked, and she smiled slightly: "Are you thinking about attacking the village?" ”
Yun Zhao turned his head and saw him, and his shoulders relaxed.
Wang Yanshu walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Is there a plan?"
Yun Zhao nodded: "I think some people will lead them down the mountain from the west, interspersed with traps, and the rest of them will go down the road from the east to capture the cottage first." ”
She frowned and said, "It's just that we have few people, and the standing soldiers of Handan Mansion are not strong in combat, so it is very risky to disperse." ”
Wang Yanshu patted her on the shoulder and hugged her tighter. Yun Zhao looked up at him.
"Hong Liu has a brother who lives on Yong'an South Street, he was a soldier with him before, and then he was injured and broke a leg, and there is an old father and a little sister at home."
Yun Zhao raised his eyebrows, Wang Yanshu glanced at her and continued: "Hong Liu will secretly send money to their family every month. ”
"Yanshu, what do you want to do?"
They looked at each other, and Yun Zhao sneered. Wang Yanshu glared at her: "What are you laughing at?" ”
Yun Zhao laughed and trembled: "In the past, I thought that there were too many tricks in the art of war, but now I realize ......"
Wang Yanshu caught the second half of her sentence: "I'm also scheming? ”
Yun Zhao was still smiling and nodded: "That's not what I said. ”
The smile in her eyes was bright and bright as starlight. Wang Yanshu curled the corners of his lips: "I thought you would say that I was resourceful." ”
Yun Zhao smiled and bent over. It's funny for a serious gentleman to make a joke.
She lifted up and hugged him, her face pressed against his chest: "You are my best military advisor. ”
The cottage on the north hill is entrenched on the top of the mountain, and it is lively at this time, and the stout men are drinking wine and eating meat, singing songs that cannot be heard clearly, and their voices are loud.
The man who sat on the large chair covered with deerskin was the first to sit on a dark skin, with a square face, short thick eyebrows, a pair of copper bell eyes, thick lips and a large mouth.
He was drinking from a clay bowl, rough and unkempt, and the drink was running down the corner of his mouth and onto his chest.
"Big brother, there are people under the mountain who want to see you."
Hong Liu raised his eyebrows and asked in a rough voice, "Who?" ”
"He said his name was Jia He, and he was lame."
Hong Liu put down the bowl and stood up: "Bring him up!" ”
The younger brother scratched his head and said, "Big brother, he has bad legs and feet, and said please go down the mountain." ”
Hong Liuyi patted his head and screamed twice: "I'm confused, I'll go down the mountain to see Brother Jia." ”
He ordered a few people to follow at random, thinking that he would carry Jia He up the mountain for a while, and invite him to drink wine and eat meat.
They rode down the mountain, and it was almost dusk. Jia He waited at the mountain pass, leaning on the mountain support on the side.
Hong Liu saw him from afar, and rode a horse and waved him with a free hand: "Brother Jia! ”
Jia He also beckoned to him.
Hong Liu Pegasus came and came down in front of him, beaming.
He took six men with him, and he led an extra horse. Seven men and eight horses were suddenly surrounded by soldiers in armor.
Behind the rock that Jia He was leaning on, a general in armor came out. Hong Liu looked at Jia He, and then at the general who blocked Jia He behind him. People like bean sprouts, he doesn't pay attention to them at all.
"Brother Jia, you lied to me!"
Yun Zhao smiled: "He didn't lie to you, I lied to you." ”
Hong Liu was furious, and he hit Yun Zhao with his hand. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed his wrists from the side, and the force was amazing.
Hong Liuyi turned his head and saw the tall and mighty Li Qi. They were about the same size, and they were all fierce, and they aroused each other's desire to fight.
Yun Zhao asked Thirteen to take Jia He out, and he solved the six junior brothers brought down by Hong Liu, and then picked a stone and sat down, watching Li Qi and Hong Liu fight in full swing.
She beckoned, and Thirteen came up. She said, "Send someone to tell the news, and get ready for those who are ambushed by the trap." ”
Thirteen frowned: "Master Hou, this hasn't been decided yet." ”
Yun Zhao glared at him and pulled the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "Hong Liu is an empty shelf in front of Li Qi. ”
Sure enough, as her words fell, a behemoth was thrown to the ground, and the stones on the ground trembled.
Thirteen swallowed his saliva and hurriedly sent someone up the mountain to report the news.
Li Qi dusted his hands and walked towards Yun Zhao. She looked at him with a smile: "The general is brave, not less than he was back then." ”
"I'm waiting to go to the battlefield again, how dare I slack off!"
Yun Zhao shrugged, and over there, Hong Liu felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, and he was lifted up by two people.
"Tie it up, and wait for him to see what his brothers are really about."
At night, the North Hill is lit by torches and a light strip winds down from the top of the mountain.
Thirteen led men to guard halfway up the mountain, and at the sound of an order, the bandits on horseback fell into the deep pit, tripped over long ropes and fell to the ground, or were tied into the air by hemp rope nets.
Yun Zhao waited at the foot of the mountain, and beside him sat Hong Liu, who was tied up.
The old five rode horses and rode into the night.
He hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and ran towards Yun Zhao. When she saw the fifth child, she frowned slightly.
"Lord Hou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was attacked by assassins and was injured."
"Where is Your Highness?"
"It's still in the West Camp."
Yun Zhao raised her foot and was about to leave, she stopped and patted Lao Wu: "Fifth uncle, it should be okay to have Li Qi and Yanshu here, you must protect Yanshu." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
Yun Zhao didn't have time to find Wang Yanshu again, so he rode the fifth child's horse to the western camp.
The western camp was not far from the western mountain, and Yun Zhao took out the token and rushed all the way to the prince's tent.
Fang Jingliang and Hu Sanhai were both standing outside the door.
"What about Your Highness?"
They bowed to her, and Hu Sanhai said, "Your Highness just took the medicine and fell asleep." ”
"Is he seriously injured?"
Hu Sanhai frowned: "The arrow entered his chest, and His Highness almost died." Yun Zhao saw a complicated emotion in his eyes, she didn't have time to ponder, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Fang Jingliang arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness came to patrol the camp, and he was assassinated on the way, and when it was night, His Highness said that he was in a bad mood and did not let people follow, and when I heard the movement and rushed over, His Highness had been hit by an arrow." ”
"His safety is related to the society, how can you rely on his temperament." Yun Zhao asked sharply, a nameless fire in his stomach.
Hu Sanhai said: "Master Hou, you know your Highness's temper best, and the minions are really unbearable. ”
Yun Zhao sighed, a little headache. She looked at Fang Jingliang: "Has the identity of the assassin been clarified?" ”
Fang Jingliang swallowed nervously: "It hasn't been found out yet." ”
"Hu Sanhai, who knows the news of the prince's assassination now?"
"Only the minions and Fang Tingwei, General Chen and General Zhu of the Western Daying, and Doctor Li."
Yun Zhao nodded: "Blocking the news, whoever dares to spread it will be killed." ”
Fang Jingliang looked at the woman's condensed face, and suddenly felt a little afraid.
Yun Zhao looked at him again: "I'll write a letter for you to send to the Hou Mansion." ”
"Yes."
Yun Zhao entered the prince's tent, and Hu Sanhai grinded it for her. She wrote a few words by the faint flame of the candle, put them in an envelope, and sealed them with beeswax.
The prince lay on the couch, breathing evenly. Yun Zhao pouted his hands: "Sanhai, you go out, I will guard him." ”
"Yes, the minions are retired."
Ji Xingyan's face was bloodless, and he still couldn't be stable in his sleep. He frowned, his thin lips pursed.
"Ah Yan, I'm here, you sleep well." Yun Zhao shook his hand and softly reassured, "I will not let go of any of the people who hurt you." ”
Her fingers ran over the center of his brow, ironing the folds between his brows.
In the early morning, Hu Sanhai came to the big tent wrapped in the morning tide and served porridge and side dishes.
"Master Hou, let's eat something."
Yun Zhao nodded, a little top-heavy. She was about to get up, but her hand was clenched tightly by Ji Xingyan.
"You put it there, I'll eat it later."
Hu Sanhai put breakfast on the table as he said, and waited silently with his hands aside.
Yun Zhao's body was a little tired, she moved her wrist, lowered her eyes, and the prince slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Yun Zhao, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, slowly curled the corners of his lips, and his weak voice revealed joy: "Ah Zhao." ”
She turned her head to look at Hu Sanhai: "Call the military doctor." ”
After that, he turned around and looked at Ji Xingyan.
"Your Highness, why don't you go out and let people follow, if something happens, what should you do?"
He smiled slightly: "You're worried about me? ”
Yun Zhao raised his eyebrows, revealing an angry expression. She said hatefully: "Your Highness is a member of the Jiangshan Society, how can the minister not be worried?" ”
The prince shook his head and coughed lightly. Yun Zhao carefully examined his wound and reached out to caress his chest.
As soon as he grabbed her hand and pressed it to his chest, his fragile eyes stared at her face: "Ah Zhao, are you worried about me?" It's not the prince, it's me. ”
Yun Zhao lowered her eyes, she took a deep breath and said, "Naturally worried." You and I are close friends, and even though there are occasional disagreements, this heart has not changed. ”
She withdrew her hand and shrunk back, her head still bowed.
The prince coughed twice, and she looked up in a panic, and the tails of her eyes were red.
"Uncomfortable, isn't it?"
He shook his head, and Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, don't be willful in the future." ”
The prince's fingers curled up and asked tremblingly, "What did you say?" ”
He was afraid that she would guess the ridiculous trick behind it.
"If you want to go out for a walk, let people follow."
He smiled lightly: "Okay." ”
The military doctor checked the pulse and breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness has no worries about your life, and you still need to rest and recuperate, and you can't work hard, and you shouldn't use force." ”
The military doctor retreated, and Hu Sanhai said to Yun Zhao: "If Master Hou is fine, it is better to accompany His Highness here." ”
Yun Zhao frowned, and heard him say again: "Master Hou, you know Your Highness's temper, only Your Highness can listen to your words." Otherwise, His Highness will definitely have to worry about the affairs of the Western Camp again. ”
The crown prince lowered his eyes: "The errand assigned by my father and the emperor, how can it be delayed." ”
Apparently he did not listen to the words of the military doctor. Their master and servant, you and I said a word, and killed Yun Zhao's thoughts.
"I'll do it for you, and you can recuperate with peace of mind."
The prince raised his eyes, a little surprised, and a little disappointed: "What about the bandits?" ”
"With the fifth uncle and Li Qi here, the inkstone will be fine."
She said it as a matter of course, and the prince tugged at the corners of his mouth, lowering his eyes to hide the crazy jealousy in his eyes. She doesn't care about the bandits at all, but the people who go to the bandits. For this reason, he did not hesitate to offend the important ministers in the court, and did not hesitate to make a desperate bet.
"I want to rest. I'll leave the matter of the West Camp to you. ”
"Okay, don't worry." She helped him to lie down and tucked the quilt for him.
Out of the tent, the clear air came to the face, diluting the bitterness of the herbs under the nose.
