Shi Mang crossed his fingers, held his chin, and thought about the credibility of Dong Ping's words without saying a word. Dong Ping sat down on a chair at random, he crossed Erlang's legs and said, "No matter how Yan Bede died, this is an opportunity for us." Because as far as I know, the Xiao family and the Yan family also went to congratulate Yan Bede on his housewarming yesterday, no matter what the purpose of the two of them is, I think we can make an article on this. ”

Hearing this, Shi Mang said: "Dong was humble before joining the army, and he brought back such important information with a little move, and the general was also very impressed. ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "Thanks to General Shi's love, but I am just fulfilling my duties." It's just that God opened his mind at that time and knew to help us. ”

"Then dare to ask how sure Dong Senjun is of this information?"

"Ten points. ”

Shi Mang looked at Dong Ping for a long time after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Since Dong is so sure of joining the army, then the general has no reason to doubt it. Okay, Dong is also tired from running around day and night in the army, so he will go back to the camp tent for a short rest. That military order, Ben will write it now. ”

"Then I won't bother. ”

With that, Dong Ping got up and walked out of the tent.

When Dong Ping left, Shi Mang took a piece of letter paper and began to write with a brush. In an instant, dozens of square block letters appeared on this letterhead. After putting down the pen, Shi Mang rolled the paper and stuffed it into a bamboo tube the thickness of a finger.

After a while, a soldier with a clever look between his eyebrows opened the tent and walked in.

"General Shi, are you looking for me?"

Shi Mang nodded, she threw the bamboo pipe to the soldier and said, "You go to Ranshi Town immediately now, and hand over this thing to the Zhu shopkeeper who handed it over to Daxing Rice Shop." ”

"Got it, little farewell. ”

When the soldier left, Shi Mang couldn't help frowning and said, "It's strange. ”

Dong Ping, who was watching the movement of Shi Mang's tent from a distance, couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "It seems that you still don't believe me." Immediately, Dong Ping returned to his tent. This time, Dong Ping sat cross-legged at the table and took out an envelope from his arms. Dong Ping opened the envelope, but poured out a pile of shredded paper from the envelope. The shredded paper was cut into regular squares the size of fingernails, and each piece of shredded paper had a stroke written on it, skimmed horizontally and vertically, and hooked away.

Within a moment, Dong Ping put together these shredded papers. I could only see that there were four complete small words on the piece of paper he spelled out, which were dog, eat, night, and middle.

Seeing this, Dong Ping shook his head and said to himself: "No, it's not like this." After that, Dong Ping shuffled up the shredded paper again and put it back together.

Spelled out, and scrambled. No matter how you put it together, you can spell out the words. After half an hour, Dong Ping fought dozens of times, and the letter was restored to its original appearance by Dong Ping.

"Dragon, armor. Swallow, C. Shaw, B. Ray, A. Wang, C. Feng, C. In August, Yan Bede. ”

Dong Ping looked at these words and couldn't help muttering to himself: "August, it seems that this letter has just been written by Yan Bede, and it has not yet been sent out." Then, Dong Ping took out two more letters from his arms. However, when the envelope was opened this time, there was no shredded paper, but two complete letters.

I saw that the two letters were written with the same two words, and I continued.

"Looks like that's the reply. ”

Let's say that these three letters were all taken out by Dong Ping from a locked cabinet in Yan Bede's room, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things in the cabinet, and a few letters were pressed in the deepest place, because of the urgency of time, Dong Ping didn't have time to take it.

"It seems that the letter written by Yan Bede should be a rating of several other forces of the water bandits in the Thousand Island Mansion. According to what he said before he died, there seems to be a big treasurer behind him. This letter should have been written to the big shopkeeper, it seems that the big shopkeeper wanted Yan Bede to continue to monitor the other forces in the Thousand Island Mansion, but what the identity of the big shopkeeper was, what the purpose was, based on these things, it could not be deduced. But since the big shopkeeper has the strength to manipulate Yan Bede, the old fox, to do things for him, his identity should not be underestimated. After thinking about it, Dong Ping put away the three letters, got up and went out of the tent again.

A small boat docked, and I saw a stone tablet on the shore, and two rows of large characters were engraved on the stone tablet: Stones piercing through the air, and the waves crashing on the shore.

A young man dressed in sackcloth came down from the boat, and this young man was the soldier who delivered the letter to Shi Mang. When the soldier had landed, he went straight to the town of Rocky on the island.

In the Thousand Islands Prefecture, this rocky town is one of the few lively towns. Almost all the rich people in this Thousand Island Mansion live in this stone town.

Entering the lively town of Ranshi, watching the people in front of him come and go, and listening to the constant shouting in his ears, this young soldier felt as if he was in a different world. After a moment's pause, the soldier came to his senses and headed for the largest rice shop in the town, Daxing Rice Shop.

The Daxing rice shop was bustling with activity, and the people queuing up to buy rice were lined up outside the street. The young soldier pushed left and right and squeezed into the rice shop, and looked at the white rice and lost his mind in an instant. He touched the belly that was choked by the coarse rice in the camp, and almost grabbed a handful of white rice and stuffed it into his mouth. Although this raw rice is hard, he chews it deliciously. When he swallowed the rice residue in his mouth and wanted to reach out to grab the rice, a big hand grabbed his wrist.

The young soldier immediately struck a spirit, and when he looked up, he saw that the person who grabbed his wrist was a fat white middle-aged man in a foreign suit and smiling.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Little brother, eating raw rice is bad for the stomach, I have steamed dried white rice here, if you are hungry, then I will take you to eat two bowls." ”

Hearing this, the young soldier hurriedly shook his head and said, "This lord, don't blame the little one, the little one is really greedy." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I know this, that's why I let you go to dinner, because they are all my own brothers." ”

Hearing this, the young soldier suddenly remembered that he had come to deliver the letter, and he hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the master, do you know the shopkeeper Zhu?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "I am Zhu Daxing, Zhu shopkeeper." ”

After hearing this, the young soldier hurriedly took out the bamboo pipe, handed it to the shopkeeper Zhu in front of him, and said, "This is the small one that General Shi asked to hand over to the shopkeeper." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu put away the bamboo pipe and laughed: "Hard little brother, Ah San, you take this brother to the restaurant to eat and drink well." ”

"Come on!" Immediately, a pock-faced man wrapped in a white apron came over and led the young soldier out of the rice shop.

When the two of them left, Shopkeeper Zhu couldn't help but sink his face, and said secretly in his heart: "How did this Shi Mang hand over the errand of delivering a letter to such a person." After thinking about it, the shopkeeper Zhu turned around and went into the backyard of the rice shop.

I only saw that there was an attic in the backyard of this rice shop, and at the same time, in a room in the attic, there was a man in a big coat drinking stuffy wine.

Suddenly, the man raised his right hand, which was missing a finger, and said with a smile: "That Li Minji's sword really lives up to its reputation, if it weren't for the master's order, I really want to have a good time with him." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft knock on the door.

When the man heard this, he picked up an oil paint mask that had been placed on the table and put it on his face. Then, he said lightly: "Come in." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu pushed the door and walked into the room, and he smiled: "Disturbing Lord Nie's Yaxing, the villain should be damned." ”

The man smiled and said: Then you don't have anything to say quickly, let go if you have a fart. ”

When Shopkeeper Zhu heard this, he hurriedly took out the bamboo pipe, stepped forward, put it on the table and said, "Lord Nie, this is a letter from General Shi." ”

"Shi Mang, that girl took the initiative to write a letter, but it is rare. After that, the man took out the letter from the bamboo tube, and looked at the letter, and the man couldn't help but sink in his heart and said, "Yan don't have to die." ”

"What, don't die Yan!" Shopkeeper Zhu couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this.

The man tore the letter in his hand to shreds and said, "I haven't been sure if the news is true, what are you calling it so loud?"

Shopkeeper Zhu knew that he was out of shape, so he hurriedly spoke: "I'm panicking, I hope Lord Nie will forgive me." ”

The man sighed and said, "It seems that I have to go to Yan's house for a while." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu smiled when he heard this: "Master Nie, do you say that Yan Bede deliberately arranged such a thing as fake death because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and wanted to get out of the master's control?"

After hearing this, the man waved his hand and said: "Yan Bede has a master arranged by me beside him, that Yan Bede has a cultivation body to be sealed, I forgive him for not daring to do anything out of the ordinary, but his pair of children have to guard against it." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu smiled when he heard this: "That's true, it's a pair of jackals." But if you inquire about the news, you don't need to take action personally, Lord Nie. Send a few random people to the next and you'll be done. ”

The man shook his head and said, "Yan Bede is different from others, after all, he is an important chess piece cultivated by the master in the Thousand Island Mansion. I have to go and see for myself, otherwise others will slander the master in my heart. ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhu clenched his fists and said, "Then Lord Nie is careful when you come and go." ”

"Tip alone can go to Lin'an Palace to make trouble, a small Qiandao Mansion, is it possible that I am afraid of Nie Dao?"

Shopkeeper Zhu said with a smile: "If you come back this time, Lord Fei will definitely be angry." ”

"I don't think so. ”

Nie Dao stood up and said, "Put this wine in the pot and warm it, and continue to drink it when I come back, your wine here is too bad to drink." ”

"I understand it below. ”

At the same time, on the island of Yangyuan.

Long Zhengfeng was sitting on a huge wooden chair teasing the eagle on his arm, and in front of him stood two men in black. Suddenly, Long Zhengfeng spoke: "Yu Tan hasn't come back yet?"

A man in black replied: "Qi Qi is in charge, and he has not returned since the night attack of the enemy army. ”

Long Zhengfeng smiled when he heard this: "Lu Qin is a capable subordinate, he doesn't come back, but he really feels that something is missing." ”

Another person: "In charge, is Brother Yu already ......?" said half a sentence, and stopped talking.

Long Zhengfeng waved his hand and said, "It's not so easy to die. ”

"Boss, the enemy has launched a total of three attacks in the past two days, is it possible that we will continue to be beaten like this?"

Long Zhengfeng said with a smile: "Which eye did you see that we were being beaten? Although there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, as long as we are still on the island, then they can't help us." Our Yangyuan Island is tall and densely forested, which is a natural barrier, as long as they dare to go to the island, then we will let them walk around without food. Moreover, we have sufficient military supplies, and since we consume energy, why don't we consume it with them? You can rest assured, in a few days, they will not be able to stand it and withdraw their troops. ”

"Then the master, since the government has put on such a big posture this time, is it possible that they have come over to show their majesty? I think they really have the intention of attacking this time. ”

Long Zhengfeng released the eagle on his arm, he looked at the eagle circling in the hall and said, "If they really want to take down our Yangyuan Island, then let's try it." ”

On the opposite side of Yangyuan Island, Lin Sanchuan had just tightened the bowstring of the longbow in his hand. Tian Zhu came over and said, "General Zhang has an order, and we will launch a surprise attack on Yangyuan Island tonight." ”

Lin Sanchuan reluctantly said when he heard this: "Is it possible to run away after fighting for a while? Don't talk about the other side, I'm annoyed." I think General Zhang's strategy of disturbing the army is disturbing themselves. ”

Tian Zhu shook his head when he heard this: "Brother Sanchuan, the most important thing in this march and battle is to be calm! Whoever can't hold his breath will lose." ”

Lin Sanchuan said with a smile: "I know this, but seeing that so many of us are consuming with them, I am anxious." ”

Tian Zhu smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Sanchuan, we will clean them all up sooner or later!"

Zhang Zelan was pacing back and forth in the cabin, and Hong Qiaozhe on the side spoke: "General Zhang, when can I lead the troops to the Lei family? ”

Zhang Zelan smiled when he heard this: "General Hong, don't be anxious, through the temptation of these two days, I can roughly guess the approximate strength of the Long family now." The strategy we set before was to feint the Yan family for the first time, storm the Long family for the second time, and then ask General Hong to take all the troops and horses to attack the Lei family when attacking the Long family. And the reason why these two generals first feinted to attack the Long family three times was because the strength of the Long family was too secretive, and if they rashly divided their troops to attack the Yan family, they would be easily counterattacked by the Long family.

But through these three feints, the general was able to make a rough deployment of troops. Now the general has a total of 1,300 people in his hands, and if he wants to feint to attack the Yan family and attack the Long family at the same time, and then divide his troops to attack the Lei family, then we must leave 900 people here to be insured. And this is only a conservative estimate, so to achieve a 100% certainty, then we must keep the string in the Long family's mind tense all the time, so that they are tired of dealing with it, so this feint will last for at least seven days. Of course, if there is an emergency, it needs to be a different matter. ”

Hong Qizhe hugged his fists and said: "It's still General Zhang's thoughtfulness, and the abyss of planning, I Hong admired it at the time." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zelan waved his hand and said: "It's just talking on paper, how to do it depends on General Hong." And this time we are fighting a psychological war, and it is unrealistic to want to defeat these bandits in one battle. What we have to do is to create a rift in the relationship between the several families, and when this rift becomes an abyss, we will definitely be able to surrender without a fight. Of course, this process will take at least two or three years, so you must not rush it. ”

Hong Qiozhe said with a smile: "I, Hong, am convinced, and it is estimated that only General Zhang and you can come up with this kind of strategy, and I, the old man, should just listen to the orders!"

Zhang Zelan smiled when he heard this: "General Hong has won the award." ”

Butterflies land on top of flowers.

A middle-aged man with beautiful hair smiled and said: "This camellia from Dali can't help but look very beautiful, and it is also very healthy, and at this season, there is no sign of withering." ”

"Master, I said you don't just look at the flower, what do you think of what I just said?" Yan Silang said with a frown on the side.

This middle-aged man is the head of the Yan family, Yan Feihuang. Yan Feihuang turned around and smiled when he heard this: "Are you talking about the Yan family's abnormal movements?"

Yan Silang couldn't help but scold when he heard this: "You didn't stand up at all." After thinking about it, she said: "No, I just delayed for half an hour with the Yan family's doctor, and the Yan family became a rumor." I don't think it's like what the Yan family said, so Yan Don't have to be as simple as just losing something. ”

Yan Feihuang smiled and said, "Since you don't think it's like it, then it's not." Now, we have to prepare for the worst?"

"What's the worst?"

Yan Feihuang nodded and said, "For example, Yan Bede died suddenly." ”

When Yan Silang heard this, he said with a gloomy face: "Master, don't talk about these jokes." ”

Yan Feihuang burst out laughing when he heard this: "But it's true that this is the worst plan, if Yan Don't have to die, and the Yan family brothers and sisters are in power, then this Thousand Island Mansion will be even more unpeaceful, so we can only pray that Yan Don't die so early." ”

After hearing this, Yan Silang couldn't help but speak: "If you say so, what you are talking about seems to have some truth in it." But when I saw that Yan Bede, he was still in good spirits, how could he suddenly die?"

Yan Feihuang suddenly changed his tone when he heard this, and said lightly: "Spirited, why won't he die?" Just like those old antiques of our Yan family, aren't they all spiritual?"

Yan Silang said suddenly when he heard this: "Boss, are you really going to attack those uncles?"

"How could I do it, didn't I give them a lot of money a few days ago and let them go to Dali to play? But the most important thing in the world is the sudden natural and man-made disasters, if the boat that those elders were riding suddenly capsized, it would be extremely sad to think about. Yan Feihuang said, and the butterfly that stayed on the camellia fluttered its wings and flew out of the window.

Yan Silang said lightly: "The means of being in charge are powerful, and Silang can't compare." ”

Yan Feihuang smiled and said, "This boat is going to capsize, and the people are going to disperse." Silang, it's time for our Yan family to find a long-term way out. ”

Yan Silang said with a smile: "A long-term way out? Master, we occupy the island as the king, at ease, happy and tight, what other way out?"

Yan Feihuang waved his hand and said, "Four waves, you still can't see clearly." The strength of our Yan family is not as good as the others, and the financial resources are also slightly weak, and long-term happiness cannot be obtained, and there is an extremely important point. ”

"Please be in charge. ”

After being silent for a long time, Yan Feihuang said: "The people don't fight with the officials. ”
