Majiawu Fort is in the western suburbs of Haishi City, leaning on the mountains, the scenery is beautiful, and many celebrities and rich gentry have built other businesses here. These wealthy families have a big business, and most of them have some Zhuang Ding guards.

After Yimianhe fled to Majiawu Fort, he was able to quickly organize a group of soldiers and horses, and defended the city by the mountains and dangers.

Wei Zhenyi dispatched Qu Shuai to attack, but was ambushed by the Rakshasa soldiers, and suffered a lot of losses.

Luo Yongyan is the envoy of the Golden Arrow and has the right to supervise the army, so he is here to understand the situation and the reality of the enemy's army.

Qu Shuai Chen Tingfeng suffered defeat and retreated to 20 miles to station, waiting for Wei Zhenyi to send reinforcements.

Luo Yongyan knew the approximate location of Chen Tingfeng's soldiers and horses, and the bumps in the mountain road gradually slowed down.

Suddenly, a roar was heard, and a group of soldiers rushed out of the grass beside the road, all armed with spears, like wolves and tigers.

"Don't move. Be honest with me. ”

The soldiers surrounded the flying tram, and saw that their uniforms were none other than those of the Golden Crow Sect.

Luo Yongyan pushed the car door and said coldly: "Presumptuous, whose people are you, I want to see your boss." ”

The army general led by Luo Yongyan saw that Luo Yongyan was wearing a military uniform, and his status was not low, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to accompany him and said: "We are scouts under the command of Chen Tingfeng Qushuai, I don't know that the commander has arrived, and I have offended a lot, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Luo Yongyan snorted lightly and sat back in the car, "Take me to see you Qu Shuai." ”

Everyone is worried that they can't find the specific location of Chen Tingfeng's department, and it is better for someone to lead them.

The general sent a soldier to lead the way, and after walking three or five hundred steps, a valley appeared in front of him, and Chen Tingfeng's soldiers and horses hid in the valley.

Luo Yongyan looked displeased, Chen Tingfeng also had thousands of men and horses under his command, and he was a person who was important to Wei Zhenyi, otherwise Wei Zhenyi would not let him attack Majiawu Fort and entrust him with a heavy task. Unexpectedly, after the defeat, he hid in the deep valley, embarrassed, and a little pitiful.

Luo Yongyan parked the tram at the mouth of the valley, and everyone entered the valley together, only to see the soldiers gathered in the valley, their clothes and armor were torn, their faces were covered with dust, and the wounded soldiers were everywhere, which showed the tragic casualties in this battle.

The scouts who had come with them went to report it, and after a while, the two generals hurried in.

The person in front of him is tall and has a white face, it is Qu Shuai Chen Tingfeng, and the person behind him has a black and thin face, which is Ling Zhiyang.

"The last general will see the Luo Ling. ”

Chen Tingfeng is Wei Zhenyi's confidant, and he doesn't know Luo Yongyan's truth. When I got closer, I hurriedly bowed and paid my respects.

"Chen Qushuai is exempt. ”

Luo Yongyan and Chen Tingfeng were of similar status, so they couldn't accept his big gift, so they took a step back and said straightforwardly: "This envoy came to understand the battle situation on the order of the sect master. ”

Chen Tingfeng nodded, his face was ashamed, and he said solemnly: "Please order the envoy." ”

"In this battle, Ling Ling and I made improper command, resulting in the defeat of our army, and it is really difficult to escape the blame. I also didn't expect that in just a few days, Mianhe had gathered tens of thousands of horses, and the enemy was outnumbered. ”

"How many people are there in the tens of thousands of horses?"

Luo Yongyan was secretly surprised, as far as she knew, although Mianhe asked for help in many ways, it would take some time for the Rakshasa soldiers to arrive, so Wei Zhenyi would order Chen Tingfeng to attack quickly. There are not many people around Mianhe who escaped from Rakshasa Sea City, even if there are only two or three thousand soldiers from the Ma family and the Chi family, how can there be tens of thousands of horses?

Ling Zhiyang interjected: "What Chen Qushuai said is true. At that time, the Rakshasa soldiers were killing from all sides, all over the mountains, there were forty or fifty thousand people, and Chen Qushuai and I fought to the death to break through. This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and at least 10,000 troops must be made before attacking again. ”

"How many men do you still have?"

Luo Yongyan also knows that the people of the Jinwu Sect do not practice military affairs, and there is still a gap between them and the Rakshasa soldiers.

Chen Tingfeng and Ling Zhiyang glanced at each other, and said hesitantly: "There are probably two or three thousand people." ”

Luo Yongyan's eyebrows frowned slightly, Chen Tingfeng's subordinates had five or six thousand people, and they only fought one battle with Mianhe, so they stopped three times and stopped twice. Let him attack Majiawu Fort again, but I am afraid that it will also hit the stone with an egg.

She didn't know that the two of them said that two or three thousand people were counting the wounded soldiers, and the real combat strength was only more than a thousand people. The Golden Crow Sect was originally a rabble, and when it encountered an ambush, it collapsed into an army, scattered and fled, and not many died at the hands of the Rakshasa soldiers.

"You guys rest here first, and I'll go and explore the reality of Majiawu Fort. Think again. ”

Luo Yongyan was skeptical of the words of the two, if Mianhe really had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it would be difficult to defeat them in a short time. The forbidden army in Kyoto is about to come to the city again, and it is still unknown whether it can hold the castle.

Luo Yong said goodbye to Chen and Ling, and the group went out of the valley.

Wu Sichen said: "I think Chen Qushuai is suspected of exaggerating the enemy's situation, if Mianhe really has forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, how can he, two or three thousand, come back alive?"

Luo Yongyan also knew that Chen Tingfeng's words were not true, but the fact that the Rakshasa soldiers could defeat Chen Tingfeng's soldiers and horses at least showed that they had considerable combat power and should not be underestimated.

Everyone got on the flying tram, although the mountain road is difficult to walk, the flying tram is dangerous, the speed is quite fast, after walking for more than half an hour, they came to the outside of Majiawu Fort.

In winter, the forest is depressed, the birds are extinct, the night comes quite early, the mountain fog is heavy, the cold wind is like a knife, Luo Yongyan parked the flying tram on the hillside.

"Let's split up in two ways and meet here before dawn. Leave one person outside to pick up. ”

There are a total of five people, Luo Yongyan and Luo Qi all the way, Ming Qin and Tong Jiaoru all the way, leaving Wu Sichen to guard the flying tram, which is not difficult to assign.

The Ma family is one of the few wealthy merchants in the Rakshasa Sea Market, and the manor is already heavily guarded, like an iron wall. Now Mianhe lives in Ma's house, and his defense is tighter.

Mianhe appointed Gao Junfu as the generalissimo, and appointed Ma Rulong and Shenyu as the left and right marshals.

Among them, Gao Junfu's soldiers and horses are all Rakshasa soldiers brought out by Mianhe from Rakshasa City, and Ma Rulong's department is the family guard of the wealthy businessmen here. Shen Yu's soldiers and horses were newly recruited, and their combat effectiveness was the worst.

However, Shen Yu was the lord of Mirage City, quite strategic, she stationed soldiers and horses on the mountain, condescending, the camp is extremely solid, if the Jin Wu Sect comes to attack, it can also be defended according to the danger. If the Golden Crow Sect attacks Majiawu Fort, they can attack it in the back.

This area was originally a group of villas of wealthy families in Haishi City, but now they are connected, and the soldiers patrol day and night, not daring to slack off.

In fact, this kind of thing of spying on the enemy's situation is not something that can be done by cultivating a high level of strength. In addition to being flexible, you must also be familiar with the secret sentinel of the mechanism, otherwise once you show your feet, you will have to worry about your life.

Ming Qin can change light and shadow, and he is also handy at doing this kind of thing. Although Tong Jiaoru's cultivation is good, she is not very good at sneaking around.

After Ming Qin and Luo Yongyan separated, he pulled Tong Jiaoru and said with a smile: "Jiaoru, I don't think it is possible to hide forty or fifty thousand horses in this manor, and Chen Tingfeng is probably afraid of punishment and lies about the enemy." We don't need to investigate, just wait for dawn to go back. ”

"How's that going to work?"

Tong Jiaoru is the daughter of Deacon Zuo Tong Wanchun, so it is naturally her turn to do such a dangerous thing as spying on intelligence, and it is naturally quite novel to experience such a thing for the first time. I was about to show my strength and explore the details of Majiawu Fort, but when I heard Ming Qin say this, I was full of reluctance.

"Then you have to be careful, don't alarm the guards in the village, and startle the snake. ”

Ming Qin saw that Tong Jiaoru was eager to try, and knew that he couldn't persuade her.

"Don't underestimate me. ”

Tong Jiaoru was quite angry, shook off Ming Qin and galloped away. Ming Qin shook his head, and instead of chasing, he used his body to fly to the eaves. He had to observe the layout of the manor in order to deduce where the important people in the village lived.

Ming Qin was condescending, looking around, and suddenly saw a black shadow running high and low, quite neatly, and couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly felt strange.

The black shadow was wearing a night robe, obviously not Luo Yongyan's mother and daughter and Tong Jiaoru. Could it be that someone else has infiltrated the village?

Ming Qin's mind moved slightly, and he turned into a light and shadow chasing the black shadow. I saw that the black shadow was quite fast, and he seemed to be very familiar with the terrain in the village, and came to a garden in a blink of an eye.

There are several attics in the park, facing the rockery stream pool, and the scenery is quiet.

Upstairs was lit upstairs, and human voices were faintly heard, and black shadows climbed the pillars to climb the eaves, tiptoe out of the window, and peeked through the window.

Ming Qin was curious, flew to the window paper, looked through the screen, and saw a man and a woman sitting in the room, the man's wide robe and belt, five locks of long hair, and elegant bearing. The woman's face is like a bright moon, her skin is like congealed fat, dignified and elegant, giving people a feeling that cannot be offended.

These two people knew each other, but they were actually Mianhe and Mei Fangxin, but they didn't know who was peeping outside the door.

Mei Fangxin made a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Mianhe, "It's not too early, after drinking this cup of tea, you should rest early." ”

Mian He picked up the teacup and sighed: "The Golden Crow Sect is so rampant, Xiao Qiao's matter has to be slowed down. When I recover Haishi City, I will send someone to find it. ”

Mei Fangxin's eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of her lips showed a hint of bitterness, "Maybe it's fate." As the governor of Haishi, you should focus on the overall situation, and you don't have to worry about Xiao Qiao's affairs. I'll figure it out myself. ”

Mianhe said apologetically: "I lost Xiao Qiao, I will definitely find her back." ”

"Don't talk about that. I am tired. ”

Mei Fangxin coughed lightly twice, got up and said, "The wind is cold and the dew is heavy, you go slowly, I won't send it." ”

Mianhe's face showed a gentle look and said with concern: "Your body is thin, don't burn your body." ”

Mei Fangxin turned into the inner room, and after the sleeping crane drank the hot tea, put on the fur around her, and went out.

The room was silent, and the man in black stood outside the window, not moving, staring intently into the room with two eyes.

After a while, Mei Fangxin walked out again and poured out the leftover tea on the table. He called, "Mei'er, bring me a pot of wine." ”

A small-looking maid agreed, came out of the back room, and hesitated: "Miss, the Governor said that drinking alcohol is not good for your health, and told me not to let you drink." ”

Mei Fangxin smiled slightly, "You little girl, listen to me, or listen to him." I can't sleep, hurry up and get me a drink. ”

Mei'er had no choice but to go to her luggage and take out the silver kettle, "That's all." ”

Mei Fangxin snatched the silver kettle and shook it, a smile appeared on her face, "It's a pity, Haishi City fell into the hands of the Golden Crow Sect, I don't know when I will be able to drink such pure eyebrow wine again." ”

This eyebrow wine is a well-known brand in the Rakshasa market, and there is a saying that 'borrowing wine to sell sorrow is more sorrowful, and there is no way to eliminate this situation'. 'Only then do I lower my eyebrows, and then I go to my heart', although this eyebrow wine is not very strong, but there is a sense of sadness and stubbornness in the chest, and it will not be dispersed. It is named after the eyebrows, which refers to the heart between the eyebrows.

Wine can give people a little mental anesthesia, although Mei Fangxin has a great reputation, but she is actually not happy. Although she and Mianhe have feelings, they can't commit to marrying, they look like each other, and the only daughter is unknown in life and death, and there is no news. In the middle of the night, I can't sleep, and I often have to drink until I am slightly drunk before I can fall asleep.

Mei Fangxin sat on the short couch and poured herself a drink, laughing and coughing, Mei'er was distressed when she saw it, and stepped forward to dissuade her: "Miss, you can drink two cups less, and there will be no more after drinking." ”

Mei Fangxin glanced at Mei'er, and said with drunken eyes: "There is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow will be sad tomorrow." You can also drink two glasses with me. ”

Mei Fangxin playfully started her heart, picked up the wine glass and poured it into Mei'er's mouth.

Mei'er's face turned red, and she was afraid that Mei Fangxin would be angry, so she endured a cup and coughed again and again.

"Very good. ”

Mei Fangxin gave a thumbs up and said heartily: "Mei'er, you are the only one in this world who can accompany me to drink two glasses." ”

When Mei'er heard this, she suddenly felt that the countryman met me, and said solemnly: "Miss can afford me, Mei'er will drink with you." ”

She thought to herself that the heart of the wine in the pot was nothing more, and if she drank more, Mei Fangxin would be able to drink less, which was also a method. However, she has never drunk alcohol, and the amount of alcohol is very poor, and she feels that the world is spinning when she can't drink three glasses in the sky, and she is top-heavy, and she can't get up when she lies on the table.

"Mei'er, Mei'er—"

Mei Fangxin called twice, didn't listen to Mei'er's answer, shook her head and said, "This girl ......"

She drank a few more glasses in a row, and the wine in the pot had bottomed out, Mei Fangxin staggered to her feet, sat down again, and closed her beautiful eyes with her forehead and stopped moving.

The man in black observed for a long time, and when he saw that Mei Fangxin's master and servant were both drunk, he suddenly became bold, dodged and pushed open the door, and gently closed it. Cautiously walked to Mei Fangxin's side, her eyes fell on her graceful and graceful figure, and suddenly became hot.

"Mei everyone, Mei girl-"

The man in black whispered two words, but when he didn't hear Mei Fangxin's answer, his courage gradually grew, and he trembled and stretched out his palm to gently flick Mei Fangxin's messy hair.

"Don't make a fuss—"

Mei Fangxin muttered and rolled over. As if feeling that something was wrong, Mei Fangxin suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and stared at the man in black: "Who are you?"

The man in black was startled, he didn't know that Mei Fangxin had a habit of drinking, and the amount of alcohol was very good, and she couldn't get drunk at all, but the wine was sad, and everyone was drunk if the wine was not drunk, and she was somewhat hazy and drunk. Suddenly, I noticed that someone had broken into the room, and I woke up half drunk.

"I ......"

The man in black was so frightened that he took two steps back, only to see Mei Fangxin stand up in a panic and rush out the door. She overestimated her strength, and after barely taking a few steps, she tripped and fell to the ground unsteadily.

The man in black was shocked, and he jumped to Mei Fangxin's side, grabbed her sleeve and said: "Miss Mei, I have no ill will towards you, I just admire your fame, I know it's presumptuous, but I really just like you." ”
