Chapter 2: The Expanded Nameless Formation
After hearing this, Yu Yang immediately ordered: "Quickly, block all exits." Mobilize four teams of men and horses to guard the Chinese army's big tent, granary, ordnance and intelligence room. The remaining three people scattered in a team to search. ”
"Yes," the crowd immediately dispersed.
Yu Yang turned around. He was the first to enter the big tent in the army. Most of the secrets of the barracks are here. This made her think that she needed protection the most here. The tent was empty, and Yu Yang walked to the desk and was relieved to find that there was no trace of the things on the table having been moved. At this time, a group of soldiers entered the tent and saw Yu Yang saluting respectfully. Yu Yang nodded: "You guys are guarding here" After speaking, he walked out of the camp again.
As soon as he walked out of the camp, a soldier ran over: "General Yu, no suspicious person was found, but a letter was just found in the armory." With that, the soldier brought the letter forward. Yu Yang opened the letter and saw that it read:
The mountain people got lost and entered the military village, and the sergeant was not surprised. Xianyun had no intention of asking the army's heart, and the wild crane was already outside the clouds.
After reading this letter, Yu Yang was shocked, it seems that this person has left. Then he said to the soldiers in front of him: "Give the order to go down, don't look for it again, the people have already left, and each of them will return to his own post." With that, he turned around and walked back to the tent again. This military camp in the north of the city is the permanent residence of the Xilu army, and the guard and protection are naturally very good, this person comes and goes freely, quietly, it can be seen that this person is by no means an idle person, and there must be something outstanding. From this person's words, Yu Yang speculated that he was not an official person, but should be a civilian master, who mistakenly entered the barracks and left in a hurry.
The matter was already known at this point. But Yu Yang suddenly thought of something, "Master" Yu Yang said to himself. The picture of the formation of Keyin Village resurfaced in my mind. This picture once reminded him of a master, could it be that there was really a master from the people who came to wander in this Luxi territory?
Thinking of this, Yu Yang immediately repaired a book, wrote down the things encountered in the military camp and his thoughts one by one, together with the letters left by the comer, and ordered them to be sent to Xilu City to He Xing, and after doing this. Yu Yang began the daily work of the barracks.
In the government office of the central office area in the middle of Xilu City, a gentle ray of sunlight shines through the window on the wall and shines on the desk in the room. There were government affairs documents and two books neatly placed on the table, and a faint mist came out next to the books, and after the fog, He Xing sat alone on the chair and flipped through various documents. As soon as the door opened, a person walked in, this person was about thirty years old, with a handsome face, after entering the door, this person went straight to He Xing's desk, put the letter on the table, and said: "Lord He, I received a letter from Tianling this morning, about the proposal to expand the commercial area in the western district of the city, and add a commercial street, which was rejected by the King of Ling, and the discussion was that the original commercial street has been operating for many years, adapting to the development, in view of the fact that the street has been running for a more perennial time, it can be properly repaired, renovated and updated, and try to meet the needs of more people." In this letter, there is a rectification plan given by the Wangdu Development Department, please take a look at it in the city. ”
He Xing only glanced up when this person entered the room, and then he kept his head down to read, and he didn't look up at this time, but nodded silently and said softly: "Got it." ”
When the people who came saw He Xing's attitude, they seemed to be accustomed to it, and they didn't care much, and they were just about to turn around and leave, and they thought of something, and said to He Xing: "If the city thinks that the rectification plan is inappropriate and needs to be improved, please tell your subordinates." "King Ling believes that the City Lord He has been in charge of Xilu for many years, and he is very familiar with the situation here, and hopes that the City Lord He will do his best to complete this matter smoothly.
He Xing finally raised his head, looked at this person again, and smiled slightly: "Lord Lao has bothered, He will live up to the expectations of the Spirit King, and this transformation will be successfully completed, please rest assured." ”
The person nodded and turned to go out, He Xing put away the smile on his face, picked up the letterhead on the table, opened it and read it, and after reading it, he put the letterhead back on the table, took away the teacup at hand, and said to himself: "It's useless for me He to speak, but this plan is also feasible, and it can be regarded as saving my heart." With that, he drank all the tea in his cup and continued to busy himself with his work.
After a while, the attendant outside the door came in, holding a letter in his hand, He Xing heard the movement, looked up, and then secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that something had come to the door again. Before the attendant could speak, he first asked, "Who sent this letter?" The attendant handed the letter to He Xing. said: "Back to the city lord, there is a letter from the military camp in the north of the city, and the person who came said that he saw General Yu and had something to tell him." ”
As soon as he heard that it was Yu Yang's letter, He Xing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to take the letter from the attendant, and was about to open it, but the attendant turned to leave, but He Xing suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute! Hand it to the attendants and hand it over to the construction personnel, so that they can start preparations tomorrow and start construction as soon as possible, and strive to complete it within three months. If you need help with manpower, you can come to me, I will ask some sergeants from the army to help me, and he will let me know when the work starts, and if there is time to spare, I will personally go to the street construction site to supervise the work. Go!, then ordered.
After the waiter went out, He Xing opened the letter sent by Yu Yang and roughly went through it. Only then did I remember that the incident in Keyin Village had not yet been resolved. He Xing patted his head, so dark that he was confused according to the incident in Keyin Village and the military camp in the north of the city. He Xing was not much different from what Yu Yang thought. There must be a folk hermit who traveled and practiced, and went to Luxi Road and strayed into the barracks through Keyin Village, although his behavior did not include etiquette, but the folk hermit was generally not formal, but it was also reasonable. In addition, although this person set up a private formation and trespassed into the military camp, he did not do anything to hurt the heavens and reason, and the business spied on the military aircraft. As long as the person does not reappear and does anything illegal, there is no need to hold the person accountable. And that formation He Xing really doesn't know the intention, but the formation has no obvious intention of harming people and things, so it is inferred that it should be a special formation for this person's unique practice, after all, there are many great martial arts exercises in the world, and some unique and strange exercises that have never been seen or heard are also very normal.
He Xing thought about it for a long time, and after he thought about it, he ordered someone to find one of his lieutenants, Tao Xianxian. Tao Xianzhang was sent to Lu Xi by the personnel department of Lingdu three years ago to serve as He Xing's deputy general, because this person was not He Xing's hand-picked personnel, but appointed by the governor, so He Xing and his daily contact is not much, and the relationship is only in the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and he does not recognize him as a friend of his. And Tao Xianzhang can also see that He Xing is very indifferent to himself, but he is not a person who is eager for quick success, so he has been working by He Xing's side, and he can be regarded as an honest and conscientious person.
After Tao Xianzhang entered the room, he asked bluntly, "City Lord He, I don't know what to tell if you want to come to me?"
He Xing replied: "Charter, someone from Keyin Village came to see me this morning, saying that a strange formation suddenly appeared in the field, and I didn't know the reason for this matter at first, but just now General Yu from the military camp sent a letter. talked about today's military affairs and his views. He Xing picked up the letter in his hand, and then roughly talked about the affairs of the military camp and his own opinions, and finally said to Tao Xianxian: "I see that it is not early today, you go to Keyin Village tomorrow, first see how the formation in the village is, if there is no abnormal situation, explain the situation of the formation to the villagers so as not to cause panic among the villagers." Also, ask how the village is doing this year, if there are any difficulties, and if you need help. Tao Xianzhang was instructed to ask a few more questions, and after learning more about the situation, he retired. He Xing was the only one left in the house, he looked out the window, the sky was already a little dark, and on the edge of Xilu, there seemed to be some clouds. He Xing sighed lightly, this sigh was full of uncertainty and helplessness for the future. He cleaned up the papers on the table a little, took the two books in his hands and walked out of the room slowly.
In the early morning of the next day, Tao Xianzhang and two of his subordinates set off from the west gate of Xilu City early in the morning and rushed to Keyin Village. Soon after, the three of them came to the city of Keyin.
Led by the villagers, the three of them came to the village chief's residence, and after explaining the reason, the village chief seemed very welcome. Tao Xianzhang said to the villagers: "After the study of the city lord of He, the formation that appeared in the village is harmless to people, and the people in the village can live with peace of mind. The city lord speculated that this formation should be used by the Yunyou hermit to cultivate, and there were already many soldiers in the military camp in the north of the city who had seen this person, although this person was uncertain and acted by himself, but he had no malicious intentions, and believed that if this formation was not presided over, it would definitely dissipate in the near future.
After hearing this, the people in the village calmed down a little, and Tao Xianzhang asked again: "The city lord speculates that there are high-ranking people in Xilu, I wonder if the village chief or you have seen anyone appear in the village or around in the past few days?"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers began to discuss them privately. At this time, a villager said: "Just yesterday, I was working in the fields, and I saw a person walking out of the bushes with an unfamiliar face, probably not a local. I was busy, and the man was so brisk that he disappeared from view in three or two steps, so I didn't say hello to him. ”
"Can you see this person's appearance?" Tao Xianzhang asked!
"This man is about forty years old, short in stature, short haired, and he has not seen it on the front. Speaking of this, another villager also remembered something: "I seem to have seen this person, a short-haired man, dressed in black, with a thin face and small eyes. I saw him at the entrance of the village, and when I saw this man's face, I went up to him and asked him who he was and what he was doing here. He only said that he passed by occasionally, and asked me how to get there. ”
Tao Xianzhang nodded and said: "It seems that this person is right, it is not difficult to see from his words that this person is not familiar with the nearby roads, so he entered the military camp by mistake yesterday." Has anyone else seen this man?" no one replied this time, and everyone shook their heads.
Tao Xianzhang continued: "In that case, please take me to see which formation. I'd like to see if anything has changed in the past two days. If it gradually dissipates, then Tao Charter can return to the city to resume his life. If it is still the same, Tao should report to the city lord and let the city lord try to break this array. ”
"Very good, please come with me. The village chief said respectfully with a smile on his face.
The village chief waited for Tao Xianzhang and the three of them to walk towards the place where the field formation was, and the villagers followed behind and also came to the field. When approaching the location of the formation, the village chief suddenly frowned, and at the same time, the villagers behind him also began to talk softly.
When Tao Xianzhang saw this, he didn't know why, and asked the village chief in front: "What's wrong, why is everyone talking about it." ”
The village chief turned his head and said slowly: "General Tao doesn't know, when this formation was first discovered, it was in the grass and trees in the field, but now I see that this formation has expanded to the field, and it has increased several times. ”
