The chat was unpleasant, Li Yi asked Hua Rong to guard her, and she was not allowed to step out of the door for half a step, so Hua Rong read and practiced calligraphy in the house.

Two days later, at night, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the guards coldly ordered: "Come out!" ”

At the gate of the mansion, the carriage and horses were ready, and the others were escorting Mu Mingshan and Steward Li into the carriage, obviously wanting to leave.

Hua Rong looked around, saw Li Yi in the crowd, walked over and asked, "The young master hasn't come back yet, where is the prince going?" ”

"Someone! Shut her mouth up for me! ”

Li Yi was very irritable and didn't want to talk nonsense with Hua Rong.

Hua Rong lowered his voice and said: "If the suppression of bandits fails, it is impossible for this little person in the hands of the prince to return to Hanjing alive, so the prince might as well think about whether there is any way to help the young master suppress the bandits." ”

Li Yi frowned: "Who told you that the bandit suppression failed, you are less alarmist here!" ”

"Last night, I heard a muffled thunder in the southeast, but it didn't rain, it should be the bandits on Qinglong Mountain who are resisting with homemade explosives, Qinglong Mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the soldiers and horses of the Lizhou Captain's Battalion are lazy, and the young master is afraid that he won't even attack halfway up the mountain."

What Hua Rong said was the same as the information Li Yi had just gotten, Li Yi's expression suddenly became serious, and he glared at Hua Rong: "What tricks are you going to play?" ”

"I know a way up the mountain."

"What did you say!?"

"There is a painting hanging in the main courtyard house of Qinglong Mountain, which shows that there is a path to the north to go up the mountain." Look at the book

Li Yi immediately sent someone to fetch the painting, and the shape of the painting was indeed very similar to Qinglong Mountain, but Li Yi didn't know how to paint and couldn't see where there was a road.

He looked at the painting and the flowers, and asked suspiciously: "Do you know why you didn't say it earlier, you have to wait until now?" ”

"Would the prince believe me if I had said it earlier?"

Li Yi pursed his lips, even at such an urgent moment now, he was extremely skeptical of Hua Rong's words.

Hua Rong didn't say anything more, only lowered her eyes and stood quietly.

Li Yi waited for a while and couldn't help but ask, "You don't say anything anymore to make me believe in you?" ”

"There's nothing more to say, a slave and maid have a cheap life, and they can die with so many people, and they have no regrets in this life."

“……”

The corners of Li Yi's eyes twitched, and he said in his heart, you have no regrets, master, I still have a lot of things to do.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Yi asked people to prepare a fast horse, and called two more cronies and asked them to go to Qinglong Mountain immediately to find Jiang Yunhua with paintings and flowers.

It's all death anyway, so take a big gamble!

Hua Rong's expression did not change much, and he said to Li Yi: "The young master can't lead the troops for a long time, and the morale of the army is easy to be dissipated, and Lao Shizi sent people to walk around the city with torches, so that they think that there are reinforcements to arrive, so as to boost morale, if there is still no good news tomorrow evening, the prince does not have to worry about anything else, just protect himself." ”

After Hua Rong finished speaking, she turned over and got on her horse neatly, and rushed towards Qinglong Mountain with the two cronies.

Li Yi watched Hua Rong's figure disappear into the vast night, and realized that he didn't seem to have the calm and smart of this little maid?

At the foot of Qinglong Mountain.

A group of officers and soldiers who tried to escape were arrested, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "I have old and young people in my family, I don't want to die, please let me go, those bandits in the mountains have explosives, we can't go up at all!" ”

"That's it, so many brothers have died, you can't let us continue to send them to death!"

Sui Feng looked at them expressionlessly, and said coldly: "You will die because you are usually idle in the army and don't think about training, and at this time, there is naturally only one way to die!" ”

Zhaoling has not been at war for many years, and these people just want to mix the military salary, and after these two days, they are already frightened.

Sui Feng picked up his sword and prepared to deal with the deserters, but these people were all frightened one by one, and a foul smell spread in the air.

At this time, Jiang Yunhua came down from the mountain with a few scouts.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Yunhua asked coldly, the armor on his body had been stained with blood, and there were still traces of burning on his face, and he was about to report the situation with the wind, when a soldier hurriedly came to report: "My lord, the prince of Yong'an Hou has invited reinforcements, and he has sent three people, and they said that they know a way to go up the mountain!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present became excited.

And reinforcements are just too good!

"Bring it here!"

Jiang Yunqi gave an order, and the three of them were brought over.

Seeing Hua Rong, Sui Feng's face immediately sank, and he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”

The cronies next to him took the painting to Jiang Yunqiu, and retold what Hua Rong had told Li Yi before.

Jiang Yunhua stared at the painting for a long time and asked, "Where is the road?" ”

"To the north," Hua Rong stretched out his hand and pointed at the painting, "go up from here, and when you go up the mountain, you just need to find the place where they store explosives and blow it up, and you can attack the mountain." ”

"How do you know this way? Have you ever been in the mountains with them before? ”

Questioning with the wind, he was very vigilant about the sudden appearance of the flower.

"I can see that there is a road based on this painting, and the specific route is what I spent a year digging out from the woodcutters, hunters, and medicine collectors in the city, who often went up the mountain before the bandits of Qinglong Mountain appeared."

This explanation is quite reasonable, Sui Feng is still not at ease, and wants to ask why Hua Rong knows this, but Jiang Yunhua stopped him with a look, and ordered in a deep voice: "Draw it." ”

The road map had already been drawn, and Hua Rong took it out directly and handed it to Jiang Yunhua.

After Jiang Yunhua finished reading it, he asked the two cronies to take Hua Rong aside and gather the others to re-discuss the offensive strategy.

In the end, Jiang Yunhua decided to take a dozen people to secretly go up the mountain to find the explosives depot from the road Hua Rong said, and when he heard the explosion, he would take these officers and soldiers up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

After making the decision, Jiang Yunhua ordered someone to wrap a strip of cloth stained with sesame oil around the arrowhead, so that the explosives could be blown up by fire.

Sui Feng followed Jiang Yunhua to the side and asked, "Young Master, do you really believe that this roadmap is true?" ”

"I've just seen it in the mountains, and there is indeed a road to the north."

Afraid of the bandits on the mountain counterattack, there was no fire in the camp, only one or two torches, and after Hua Rong was brought aside, he sat there quietly, which was incompatible with the tense and murderous atmosphere of the camp.

Jiang Yunhua glanced at Hua Rong, and asked Sui Feng again: "Can you think of a better way now?" ”

Suifeng had no better way, so he still tried to persuade: "Young master, let's let my subordinates bring people up the mountain, in case the road map is fake......"

Jiang Yunhua interrupted in a cold voice: "The military order is like a mountain, needless to say." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yunhua led people up the mountain quietly.

came to Hua Rong with the wind and asked angrily: "You even know the way up the mountain, why did you have to act in front of the young master before?" ”

Hua Rong was straightforward: "Why am I acting, have any of you asked me about the bandits in Qinglong Mountain?" ”
