Chapter 131: Impulsiveness
The matter of the mole finally came to an end, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, Tan Xingde and Zong Lao and others thanked Shao Mingqian, and each went back to the room to say that he knew with others. Shao Mingqian and Heng Wu calculated the movement of the officers and soldiers under the mountain in the hall.
The sentry of the "Yang Dao League" has a thing like a bamboo tube, called the "clairvoyant mirror", you can see far and near, and the things of several miles are like the eyes, it is said that this thing is made by the "Western Territory" and "Red Evil Country" in recent years, and then it was bought and improved by the "Osumi Heavenly City", and it was sold twice, and it was very convenient for the army to meet the enemy. With the distance between the general rudder of the 'Yang Sword League' and the 'Autumn Pond Mountain', any abnormal movement can be clearly seen in broad daylight.
Shao Mingqian asked the sentry post about the situation, and the officers and soldiers under the mountain seemed to know that the 'Yang Dao Alliance' occupied a geographical advantage and was not easy to take by force, so they only besieged it but did not attack. Shao Mingqian nodded, it is not easy to waste too much energy in this confrontation situation, so as not to fall into the other party's tired army, and it will not be able to resist it if it really fights, the best way is to send a few people to observe the enemy's movements, and the others will rest and stand by, and immediately Shao Mingqian ordered the sentry to be cautious about the enemy.
During the arrangement here, Tan Xingde took the people of the 'Tan Gate' and the Sect Elder, Yifeng and everyone else over.
Tan Xingde saw that the officers and soldiers under the mountain had no intention of withdrawing, and did not attack, obviously wanting to besiege the 'Yang Dao Alliance', he felt that he owed the 'Yang Dao Alliance' the matter of the traitor, and immediately asked for a battle to retreat from the enemy. Shao Mingqian refused again, he did things steadily, since the officers and soldiers did not completely attack the mountain, and did not pick the Tangkou shop under his mountain, maybe there is still room for maneuver, at least it shows that the government has some concerns and does not dare to make a big deal so as not to provoke the people to revolt and suppress it, and when it reaches the ears of the emperor, he will be demoted at the least, and the official will be dismissed and killed. The government has concerns, and Shao Mingqian does not want to make the relationship between the two sides a mortal enemy, after all, for the livelihood of his tens of thousands of people, he can't take it lightly. Heng Wuxuan naturally knows the severity, so in the past few days, the officers and soldiers have made a small fuss and attacked the mountain, so he will send the 'Xuanyi Guard' to repel it, and the 'Xuanyi Guard' order is forbidden without deviation, and he has his own measure, but if the people of the 'Tan Gate' participate in the war, once the battle is urgent, it will be difficult to clean up the casualties on both sides, so Shao Mingqian and Heng Wuxuan are unwilling to let the people of the 'Tan Gate' come forward. It is not difficult for the 'Yang Dao Alliance' to defeat the officers and soldiers under the mountain, two days ago, the three hall masters rushed back one after another, and they had already laid an ambush at the bottom of the mountain.
Shao Heng and the others had their own calculations in their hearts, and they were not in a hurry. Officers and soldiers are willing to besiege the 'Yang Dao League' and let him surround it, love to besiege for as long as long as the siege is long, anyway, what is stored on the mountain is configured with half a year's grain and grass of all the members of the 'Yang Dao League', and now the mountain is full of calculations, even ' Tan Men's family members are counted as no more than 500 people, and it is not a problem to eat for three or five years, on the other hand, on the side of the officers and soldiers, 5,000 people, if such a large transfer is not approved by the emperor, the military department is transferred, even if it can be concealed from the world, the grain and grass is a lot of expenses, and the cost of grain and grass can still be made up in other aspects after a short time, and it will inevitably be unsustainable for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before the troops are withdrawn.
"Let's all rest for now, it's not time for war. Shao Mingqian said.
"Master Shao, this ......" Tan Xingde pointed to the officers and soldiers under the mountain, and said with a worried face.
Shao Mingqian said: "Master Tan rest assured, there are people here who are expected to be enemies, and if there is a real change, we will have time to deal with it, but now we can't be dragged by them to hold everyone down, otherwise we will be exhausted and how they will resist attacking the mountain." ”
Tan Xingde nodded and stopped talking.
"There's something else down there, so please take care of it. Shao Mingqian said.
"Lord Shao Meng, please. ”
"Shuliang, you come with me. Shao Mingqian said, turned around and left, and Liang Xie followed closely.
Zong Lao and Tan Xingde went back to the house with everyone to discuss the next step, and Shao Mingqian led Liang Xie to a secluded and uninhabited place in front of the cliff, and then stopped.
"Senior brother, the traitor is excepted, how do you plan to deal with the officers and soldiers under the mountain?"
"Don't worry, I can't fight, they are surrounding the mountain to increase the pressure on me, but I just want to gain some initiative during the negotiation. ”
"Negotiating?" he didn't see in the slightest hint of negotiating with these men.
"Well, maybe Wu Jingguo wants to make some big moves, and he is afraid that the 'Yang Dao Alliance' will become his variable, so he will deter and deter first, and if the expectation is good, the next step should be to send someone to lobby and recruit us. ”
"He wanted to be beautiful. ”
Shao Mingqian said with a smile: "He may also know that he has little hope for recruiting the 'Yang Dao Alliance', but as long as we don't cause trouble for him, his goal will be achieved, as for whether to solicit, intimidate or send someone to drag us down." Maybe I can't refuse the people who lobbied us this time. ”
Liang Xie said, "What is the senior brother going to do?"
Shao Mingqian said: "When the time comes, depending on the situation, if he really faces a powerful enemy, how can I not fall into the ground?"
Liang Xie was stunned and smiled: "Senior brother, you are not as kind as before. ”
Shao Mingqian said with a smile: "Senior brother is generally not an enemy of others, once he is an enemy, his means will never be soft, do you think that shouting two words of benevolence, righteousness and morality can turn enemies into friends, is it really so easy for the 'Yang Dao Alliance' to develop so far?"
Liang Xie smiled and said, "Senior brother actually doesn't need to be an enemy of Wu Eunuch. ”
Shao Mingqian smiled: "Don't worry, I won't really tear my face with him until I'm sure." ”
Liang Xie was a little relieved, although he had a grudge against Wu Jingguo, he didn't want to involve his senior brother.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's talk to you a few things first. Shao Mingqian said.
"A good thing or a bad thing?" Hearing that the senior brother was looking for him, Liang Xie felt a tense in his heart inexplicably.
"Two good things, one bad thing. Shao Mingqian said.
Liang Xie's scalp was a little numb, of course the more good things the better, but he may not be able to accept the bad things, if there is bad news about Jiaxian's matter, then he really doesn't dare to think about it, he looked at Shao Mingqian, judging from the latter's unfazed look, he really doesn't know how good this good thing is, how bad it is.
"Let's start with a good thing. Liang Xie was stunned about bad things.
"Good. Shao Mingqian nodded. "This may be the news you want to hear the most, I have passed the news of my brother and sister to my friends in the capital, and there should be news in a few days. ”
"Hmm. Liang Xie responded, feeling a little disappointed. If that's a good thing, it's disappointing.
Shao Mingqian saw the disappointment in his heart, and smiled: " After you and I looked for the elder that day, I looked for the elder again yesterday, the elder carefully recalled the incident when he and the master did not leave the master to save his younger siblings, it seems that the master did not leave the master to find something strange, at that time the war was imminent and did not have time to investigate in detail, and then the defeat did not leave the master for fear that you would not be able to hold your breath and run back and did not tell you, and then came here without leaving the master to send back the news and asked a friend over there in the capital to help check it, I wanted to wait for the verification and then tell you, but that day you fell out with the master of the master in a fit of anger. ”
Liang Xie blushed a little and said, "It was indeed my fault that day. I don't know what strange Master Wuliu has discovered?"
Shao Mingqian said: "There was an accident in the master door on the day of the master, and the fire from you and the blow from the capital before, I may be in a little chaotic, and I left in a hurry before I could leave a word." ”
Liang Xie was quite disappointed in his heart.
Shao Mingqian said again: "Although Master Buliu did not explain, judging from his attitude towards this matter, Master Buliu may feel that most of his younger siblings are not in the hands of Wu Jingguo." ”
"You...... Are you telling the truth?" Liang Xie was a little excited.
"Well, Zong Lao said that they went to save their younger siblings that day, and only after they went did they find that the person was long gone, at that time, Zong Lao stayed outside the courtyard to meet the enemy, and did not leave the master to go back to the house to check, and then came out and the two searched everywhere and did not find a figure, and the master did not seem to say that he found something in the house and did not pursue it further. At that time, the master did not leave a sentence, the elder did not ask in detail, anyway, there was no master left, and he did not take this matter to heart, yesterday I went to look for him, the elder of the sect only carefully recalled the vague memory of the day when the master was not left behind, it seemed that someone found someone carved a smiling face with a knife on the wall in the room. ”
"Smiling face?" Sect Elder is sure he didn't hear it?" Liang Xie said suspiciously.
It's hard to say, because I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and it's hard to remember it now. Don't be in a hurry to deny it first, first think about whether any friends know about your brother and sister, maybe your brother and sister were rescued by them, and afterwards I am afraid that you will be in a hurry, and I am afraid that Wu Jingguo's people will track you down, so I can only leave a smile for you to make a password. After all, if Wu Jingguo sent someone to transfer his younger siblings away, it was unlikely that he would draw a smiling face, and it would be impossible not to contact you for so long, most of them saved his younger siblings by someone else, and they still don't know where you are. ”
Liang Xie frowned and said: "Friend, smiley, I don't have any friends in the capital, and even if I do, it is impossible to rescue people in the hands of the two masters, Tu Daqian and Qin Zhao, unless they are drugged." ”
"Drugged!" Liang Xie was suddenly shocked and muttered: "Could it be that Ren Xiao's kid did it? Drawing a smiling face is also like this kid's style." Immediately shook his head again, knowing that this is impossible, Ren Xiao's kid has been used to it since he was a child, and he can't do anything except gambling money and messing around every day, with his ability, let alone saving his sister, I'm afraid this kid Young Master is used to it, so many days I have always thought that Qin Zhao They are really his own guards, and then take a step back, even if Ren Xiao really found out that Jiaxian was taken hostage, even if he wanted to, he couldn't save it, not to mention the rest, he didn't know martial arts, and he was either Qin Zhao or Lu Guhong's follower every day, even if he went to the gambling house, there were people from the gambling house staring, how could he have the opportunity to buy drugsWhen he returned to his home outside the city, he had some time, but it was limited, Qin Zhao and they would never give him the opportunity to go out alone for even half an hour, with Ren Xiao's footsteps, if he wanted to run to the city, buy the drug and then run back, it was absolutely impossible, so the problem was here, if he wanted to get the drug, he had to buy the drug first, but he didn't even have the time to buy the drug? If he took it with him when he left home, he should have been searched out when he entered the Jingguo Mansion, where could he still take advantage of this loophole.
