Accompanied by the creaking of iron-clad wooden wheels out of the city cave, the green-shirted man sitting on the wheel stared at the high mountain that gradually revealed his tall and majestic posture with the extension of the wide official road, but there was a lazy smile on his face, like those profiteers who were about to slaughter a fat sheep.

In the carriage behind her, the little girl with her bun struggled to push open the big wooden box that was about to block the window, and also looked at the high mountains that gradually gave birth to the meaning of greenness, and couldn't help but be happy, clapping her hands and singing: "Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, ride away from the north by thousands of rides." ”

Suddenly, there was a vigilant low shout from the green-shirted guest on the wheel: "Little bell, pay attention to the ears next to the road!"

However, the little girl just giggled and replied: "Don't worry, uncle, that strange uncle surnamed Dong is still in the northwest and the state assassin, this nursery rhyme can't reach his ears." ”

"Who said that Dong Zhuo stabbed Shi Dong Zhuo in the state?" The green-shirted man flicked his whip angrily, and drove the bully pulling the cart forward a few steps quickly, before he lowered his voice and said, "The Jianghu forces in Luoyang City are now either returning to the Xiyuan Army or taking refuge in the northern lieutenant, how can scattered people like you and me want to rub oil and water from Lao Zhao and them, if they don't keep it secret?"

Listening to the words of the green-shirted guest, the little girl looked up at the back of the green-shirted guest on the wheel with admiration, and asked carelessly: "Uncle, are you sure that those people who don't read history books much are the same as you...... Is it a terminal patient of Guwen poisoning?"

The green-shirted guest was silent for a long time, and after a while, he held back a sentence, and said half-angrily and half-annoyed: "The most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes is the word 'prudence'!

......

......

Gradually approaching the Beibi Mountain, the ox cart slowly went up the mountain road, the tender grass in early spring is embellished with green between the stones, the wild trees between the gentle slopes and hills are budding, but it is impossible to distinguish whether it is an apricot or a pear or a peach from a distance, but it is faintly and timidly mixed with the pale green ochre red mountain rocks, as a pair of green and green landscape background of the point dyeing.

It's just that there is an extra military horse outside this picture of the mountain trip, which destroys the overall composition for no reason. This military horse is encamped at a valley mouth at the bottom of the mountain, most of them are red-shirted and armored people from the new army of the Son of Heaven Xiyuan, but there are also many people from the rivers and lakes who are sideways, just looking at the appearance of these people setting up fences and setting up camps, just some of them are standing in front.

The green-shirted guest sitting crookedly on the wheel glanced at the gradually growing camp, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Even the camp has been erected, it seems that this time Boss Zhao has indeed invested a lot of money." ”

The little girl poked her head out to look at the camp at the mouth of the valley with the admiration of the green-shirted guest, and then shrank back boredly. Leaning against the big wooden box, listening to the box full of inferior wooden swords and sticks following the ox cart and then touching the wall of the box, the little girl's voice came out with the sound of squeaking wheels:

"It is precisely because they have invested too much money that it is absolutely impossible to give up halfway, Uncle, you can have the opportunity to make this deal. ”

was poked at the truth by his own girl, the green-shirted man smiled slightly, and whipped the cow, making the sound of the wheels running over the mountain road much more cheerful.

......

......

Holding a ring-headed straight knife in the style of the newly built West Park Military Academy, Hua Qisheng, the new West Park Army Yu Lin Lang, was also staring at the ox cart crawling on the mountain road.

He looked so focused that someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind him before he was called back from his distracted state:

"Peanuts, what do you want?"

"Nothing. Hua Qisheng frowned and glanced at his friend Bi Yong, who was not carrying a blade behind him.

The man who only wore a simple light leather armor was also an officer of the Xiyuan Army, but he did not add various trims and carvings to the armor to show his identity like his colleagues, but his hands were covered with a pair of dark iron-knuckled tigers, with a faint blue glimmer at the sharpness.

"Although the last person to make the decision is Boss Zhao, I am the one responsible for the execution. Hua Qisheng took his hands and looked back at his friend seriously, "To be honest, there are too many variables in this operation. ”

"Those subordinates of the Northern Lieutenant must be the biggest variable. Bi Yong thought of those little officials with five-colored sticks on their backs, and he didn't feel a little headache, "Everyone is an unrestrained character, but they are willing to be loyal dogs to the surnamed Cao, and they underestimate the charm of this leader who is so strong that it is not like words, it is really a mistake." ”

Although the surname Cao is fledgling, in terms of mental insight, he has surpassed ordinary scholars too much, and it is not outrageous for ordinary people to be impressed by him. Thinking of the young official who has been promoted and degraded several times, and has only mixed up with Gyeonggi County for a few years, but has shown a heroic temperament that cannot live under people for a long time, Hua Qisheng is also very troubled, "As long as they don't come to bad things this time, I'm thankful." ”

Speaking of this, Hua Qisheng seriously took out an arrow from his arms and handed it to his friend in front of him: "Just in case, I will give you one more scout, be sure to monitor the changes in the pre-determined battlefield for fifty miles, and contact me at any time." ”

Bi Yong blew a whistle, and took the order arrow, there were already soldiers around him leading the military horse to standby, he turned over on the horse's back, said "see back", and then beat the horse out of the gate.

Behind him, more than a dozen scouts straddled the horses and arrows, following closely behind, and there was a bit of Huo Qu's momentum in the past when he came out of the Jade Gate to fight the Huns.

......

Bi Yong's scout team was gone, and the snail-like ox cart was still crawling along the mountain road, and of course no one cared about a broken cart walking deeper into the mountain road.

Turning his gaze away from the old ox cart that served as the most inconspicuous decoration on the mountain road, a man dressed in yellowish and short brown gracefully lifted the crown above his head. Although there is a bit of a chaotic tendency in Luoyang City at this moment, and they don't take a country's famous weapons too seriously, the flat-headed people in short brown cloth have a high crown dedicated to officials on their heads, which is really too nondescript. Although the few people sitting around the round-faced man leaning against the stone all had petty official positions like chicken feathers and dogs, they didn't have the heart to pursue the round-faced man's obviously illegal dress.

"The internal banquet is widely recruited, and the external camp is to take the initiative, seeing that they are arranged step by step for this encirclement and suppression, Zhao Boss is a figure who does great things. Without praising the methods of the newly emerging Jianghu tycoon in Luoyang City, the round-faced man raised his thumb and stroked the short mustache on his lips, and his admiration was revealed, "The fire and virtue of the Han family are over, and chaos is coming." Taking advantage of the moment when the dragon and snake are lurking and about to rise, this group of people may also be able to take advantage of the situation to set up the foundation of Zhao Tuo of the Nanyue Kingdom during the Qin Dynasty. ”

However, his guidance was only exchanged for a sneer: "The nonsense of the alternation of the five elements and five virtues in Taiping Dao is okay to bluff the locals, Lao Kong, you have never been in charge of those preaching affairs over there, how can you also be brainwashed by these gods." ”

The round-faced man surnamed Kong smiled and didn't answer. Although he had nothing to do with the Qufu Kong family, he also felt that it was not a decent thing to be mixed in with a group of professional gods, so he simply closed his mouth and waited for the real person in charge of these people to speak.

"As long as you are not a fool, you can see that Taiping Dao will have full wings. "The tall and thin man at the head is much younger than Lao Kong, but there is a bit of wind and frost between his eyebrows, not like the local natives of Luoyang, but with the temperament of some northwest border pawns," their hands are also stretched too long, I heard that recently, there are Huangmen officials and people in the forbidden army walking towards the Taoist altar of Taiping Road. This kind of thing, I hope that those noble bastards in the city who can only eat dog are not as good as our northern lieutenant office itself. ”

After a slight pause, he asked, "What activities have those divine sticks been doing in the past two days?"

"Tomorrow and tomorrow they will set up an altar outside the east gate to preach and give alms of water. ”

"Occupying official roads for illegal proselytizing?" said words that were not in line with today's habits, and the tall thin man in charge smiled slightly, "It seems that these people don't know about the Dongdu Municipal Road Control Order that our Northern Lieutenant Office has just implemented." Ming'er, you will take a team of brothers to get close to these masters, don't lose your manners. ”

This is the advantage of wearing a public uniform, and it is much more convenient to act than the half-soldier and half-bandit Jianghu people in Zhao Mansion, as long as you find a reason to see it on the official face.

As the saying goes, "the people's heart is like iron, and the official law is like a furnace".

This is the smell of power, even though the tree on which it depends has rotted to its roots, as if it would fall if a strong wind comes.

The round-faced old Kong has actually always been familiar with this taste, but he is more familiar with the leaders of the Taiping Dao, these Taiping Dao sacrificial wines that are probably from a poor family are far from the kind of virtuous and virtuous people praised in the scriptures in their hands, and there is no history of lone thieves under the guise of traveling with swords. Thinking of those guys who had fanatical ambitions no matter how they looked at it, Lao Kong trembled imperceptibly, and reluctantly said: "The time has not come, don't overstimulate those people." As long as they are stumped and these people are not paid attention to the changes in Bishan. ”

Even if he wears the short brown of the flat-headed people, Lao Kong still yearns for the kind of strategist who shakes a white fan in his bones, and the creature that strategists hate most is their unexpected variables. Especially at this moment when all forces are not ready, Lao Kong doesn't want any inexplicable gods to run out and disturb the overall situation.

"In this battle, what my generation did was nothing more than 'sit and watch the success or failure'. ”

He finally set the tone for the meeting.

The people of the Governor's Office in the northern part of Luoyang dispersed, avoiding the sight of the scouts who echoed at the foot of the Beibi Mountain. The ox cart on the halfway road that was lonely walking towards the belly of the mountain was nowhere to be seen, and I didn't know where it had gone.

The spring water overflows the stone face, and then it is dyed with a faint green feeling by the light blue moss marks, and slowly converges into a clear stream, which is a good environment for wild animals to replenish water in early spring. The wild mice were pleased with the unusually low number of rabbits this spring, and that even the half-starved wild foxes were rarely seen, and that this year must have been a much easier time than usual, at least not to endure the terrible smell of charcoal and lime to dig through the imposing mounds. Rao was like this, and the vigilance imprinted in his instinct still made him raise his head every few breaths and listen carefully to the movements in the four breaths.

The moment I listened carefully, there was a bang, and the sound hit the mountain wall and reverberated in waves, and the wild mouse shrank its neck and quickly found the dead grass that had passed through the winter and lay down. God forbid, there are no eagles, no lackeys, and no horses' hooves with a big bowl to trample us to death, just a broken cart that doesn't even have cattle on it.

The man in the green shirt tied his upper body with a thick hemp rope, and struggled forward half-dead with both hands holding the wheel, while the little girl of his family was holding the back of the car with her back to prevent the car from falling off the mountain road. What kind of grace and bearing, when people can't hold it, the emperor and the person who carries the big bag will not be too different.

Panting and panting to the point that his tongue was about to spit out, the green-shirted man finally made the right choice at the moment when he was physically exhausted, he hugged a strangely growing crooked-necked poplar tree beside the road, and half-hung on the crooked neck tree and gasped for a few breaths, the green-shirted guest finally had the strength and energy to control his tongue, and sighed: "Fortunately, there are not many licensed goods, and you got off the car honestly with the bell, otherwise the old cow took off the reins and ran away, how could we still transport the goods over?"

Sima Ling, who was holding the car, poked out half of his head from the back of the carriage, and frowned a little painfully in response: "It's also a shame that the cow didn't go crazy and crashed the car, otherwise Uncle wouldn't have to transport the goods, and the box of weapons could directly crush Uncle to death." ”

"Crush ...... man" The man in the green shirt thought for a while, and replied solemnly, "In common theory, I can still drag those goods away." If you want to crush me, it's better for you to jump up faster. ”

"Uncle, do you know that the words 'heavy' and 'heavy' are forbidden sentences for girls?"

"No, uncle, I didn't say these words, I just said that you are more dense. ”

"Bite you!"
