Chapter 145: Chengguan

Judging from Xiang Tianyu's words, this camp on the west side of the Tumo River turned out to be a force opposed by the Heavenly King faction, how could this not make Zilong happy!

Xiang Yutian seemed to know what Zilong was thinking, and continued: "Actually! It seems that the Great Heavenly King has made the two factions distinct, which is not conducive to the rule of the Heavenly King faction!"

"Oh, what do you mean by Brother Yutian?" Zilong couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"If you know that the people in the Tumochuan camp, who were opposed to paying taxes before, accounted for seventy percent, but now they are less than thirty percent, you will know what I mean!" Xiang Yutian smiled bitterly and said slowly.

"Oh, the Heavenly King Sect just relied on a material supply, and turned seventy percent of the opposition to the people into thirty percent?" Wan'er couldn't help but ask in surprise when she heard this.

"Yes!" Xiang Yutian nodded and said, "Most of these materials are salt, tea and other necessities for life! The people living on the grassland are most dependent on these!"

"Then how long did it take for this strategy to be implemented, and how long did it take for the Heavenly King faction to turn these people into supporters?" Wan'er asked again.

"This strategy was implemented ten years ago! At that time, the Heavenly King faction was in full swing, so the Great Heavenly King was full of ambition, so he wanted to learn from the dynasty of the Central Plains and make an independent kingdom out of the Hetao between the grassland and the Central Plains! Therefore, he personally persuaded several large tribes to support his strategy!" Xiang Yutian really knew a lot about the news of the Hetao, and these belonged to the upper echelons, but when it came to his mouth, he said it in his mouth.

Seeing Xiang Yutian say this, Wan'er pondered for a moment and asked, "Then why do you want to tell us this, Brother Yutian?"

"First, you are confused! Second, what are you......" Xiang Yutian smiled meaningfully and said, "When you come down from the Black Stone Cliff, everything will be clear! Now, as long as you know, our master will not harm you!"

"Master, what you said was what Master Daiqin signaled to you?" Zilong heard something from Xiang Yutian's words, and immediately asked.

"Yes, the master is now surrounded by a large number of Heavenly King faction gangs, and it is inconvenient to tell you this, so I will explain it to you clearly!" Xiang Yutian smiled lightly and said.

"What does Master Daiqin want to tell us?" Zilong heard this, and suddenly understood, but he was afraid that this Daiqin was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and he and Wan'er entered the Hetao with the help of him, but I was afraid that it was also his will. It's just that I don't know what Daiqin means and what he wants to do. The only thing I know is that Dai Qindang will not be unfavorable to himself and Wan'er.

"Tomorrow when you go up the mountain and enter the Black Rock Cliff, you must remember that you must say that Lord Daisen Dari has hired you from among the free factions in the Central Plains with a lot of money! You and the lord have an employment relationship, and you will be resident in Hetao! Moreover, you must say that you will be loyal to the Heavenly King Sect and will never betray, you know?" Xiang Yutian did not answer Zilong's words, but mentioned tomorrow's affairs.

As soon as Zilong and Wan'er heard this tone, they understood that these should be what Dai Qin said to Yutian. Although I don't know what Dai Qin wants to do, but now that he has entered the Hetao, since Dai Qin has not betrayed the two of them to the Heavenly King Sect, there is obviously still a place for the two of them.

In other words, before Dai Qin used the two, the two were safe. At that moment, Zilong and Wan'er nodded together. Xiang Yutian smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, the hour is not early, I won't say more, it's still the same sentence, when the two of you come down from the Black Stone Cliff, it is the time to answer the questions in your hearts! Before that, I hope you will cooperate with our master! This is not only to help our master, but also for the sake of the lives of the two of you!"

"We know! Thank you Brother Yutian for your advice!" Zilong arched his hand when he heard this, and said.

Xiang Yutian didn't say anything more, he turned around and retreated with a smile. When Xiang Yutian was far away, Zilong repeatedly confirmed that no one was eavesdropping around before discussing with Wan'er: "Wan'er, what the hell is going on here? Why did Dai Qin tell us so much information about Hetao and the Heavenly King Sect? Could it be that our identity and purpose have been revealed?"

"Probably not!" Wan'er shook her head and said, "The purpose of our going north was decided temporarily. Even in the Ming army, only Dingguo Gong, Min Yushi, Wei Bin, my father, the horse gang leader and a brocade guard are known. These people are either detached and will not collude with the Heavenly King Sect, or they are on a secret mission and can't fight with the people of the Hetao, so it is not our identity and secret that they know!"

"Then why did Dai Qin send someone to tell us this?" Zilong couldn't help but nod after listening to Wan'er's analysis. It's not that he can't think of it, it's just that he is deep in the river loop, and now there are possible enemies all around, and under the tension of his mind, it is inevitable to be nervous.

"I think this has something to do with what Xiang Yutian told us about the difference between things and camps!" Wan'er said with a confident smile.

"What do you mean......" Zilong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said.

"It's probably like that!" Wan'er saw Zilong like this, and knew that Zilong had guessed, so she immediately nodded and said with a smile, "It's just that everything you say now is just speculation! Anyway, Dai Qin won't betray us for the time being, and there are some places that need to be used by us, that's why he did everything to keep us! So, this time, we will do what Dai Qin said with peace of mind, to deal with the Heavenly King Faction, and when Dai Qin finds us, it will be the moment when the water comes out!"

"Wan'er said it well!" Zilong couldn't help but suddenly brighten up when he heard Wan'er's words, nodded and said.

"It's not too early, let's sleep first! Tomorrow, the Black Stone Cliff of the Heavenly King Sect's General Altar is unpredictable! We have enough spirit to deal with the unexpected situations that may arise tomorrow!" Wan'er yawned and said slowly.

"Well, Wan'er, you go to bed early, I'll make a bunk at the mouth of the tent, that's it!" After listening to Wan'er's analysis, Zilong also had a clear idea of his trip to the Hetao, and immediately said easily, while speaking, he also took a mattress and prepared to go to the tent to make it.

Wan'er saw that Zilong felt so sorry for herself, but she didn't stop it, now the two of them are mostly living together, in the same room, Zilong didn't make any mistakes, but Wan'er was very satisfied, and after the two of them washed, they went to sleep separately.

Early the next morning, after Wan'er and Zilong had breakfast, Dai Qin led Lakshen and a group of Heavenly Kings to come to the tent of the two, and after calling the two, they walked towards Daqingshan.

Daqing Mountain starts from the upper valley of the Dahei River in the west, reaches the Kundulun River in the west, is nearly 500 miles long from east to west, and is between 40 and 120 miles wide from north to south. The average height is about four miles, and the main peak Daqingshan is nearly five miles high.

The Black Rock Cliff is deep in the mountains and surrounded by mountains, not the old man in the mountain, and he will never find the location of the Black Stone Cliff. When Zilong and Wan'er came to the bottom of the black stone cliff, they found that the black stone cliff was exposed, all of which were black rocks, nearly three hundred zhang high, leading to the top of the cliff, but there was only a winding plank road, which was extremely dangerous.

When going up the mountain, the plank road can only be traversed by one person, and when you reach the halfway point of the mountain, it suddenly becomes a dirt road that allows three people to walk side by side. Walking again, it is a more open area, no less than ten zhang. It's just that in this place, there is a city pass made of black stone that is three feet high, and the black stone pass is written.

On the wall, the flags were dense, and many soap-clothed Heavenly Kings sent gangs with knives and guns on them, vigilantly watching the gates. Everyone came to the bottom of the wall, and Lakshen came out of the crowd and said, "The third brigade of the Heavenly Thunder Hall has returned from its inspection, and I beg you to enter the pass!"

The people above the city pass have already found everyone, these Heavenly King faction gangs guarding the city pass have already opened their bows and arrows, facing the bottom, at this time they heard Lakshen's words, but they were not the slightest vigilant, a Mongolian walked out of the battlements, and said to Lakshen: "Take out the waist card and take a look!"

As he spoke, he saw a bamboo basket hanging down from the top of the city gate, obviously asking Lakshen to put his waist card here.

Lakshen was also very proficient, and directly pulled the waist card on his waist and put it in the bamboo basket. Then the bamboo basket was quickly lifted to the top of the city pass, and the Mongolian took the waist card, examined it, and then looked at Lakshen again, and said, "Lakshen, what are you doing when you come back?"

"Patrol over! I found two outsiders, and I brought them to the Black Rock Cliff to file on the order of the Great Heavenly King!" said Lakshen loudly.

"Okay! Open the door!" The Mongolian raised his hand, and the gate of the city was slowly opened. Lakshen took the lead, handsome Dai Qin, Zilong and others, and entered the city pass.

After crossing the city pass, Zilong thought that he could see the main altar of the Heavenly King Sect and the style of the Black Stone Cliff. Unexpectedly, after the city pass, there was a circular city wall, and Zilong's heart sank, this turned out to be an urn city!

Sure enough, I saw that on the wall of this urn city, there were also many Heavenly King factions who were helping people to draw bows and arrows, vigilantly facing Lakshen and the others below, without relaxation. The Mongol who was inspecting Rakshen's waist tag was now coming down from a large bamboo basket to the city wall. The Mongol descended into the wall of the urn, jumped out of the bamboo basket, and walked slowly towards Lakshin.

"Lakshin, can you bring me some good things from down the mountain this time?" The Mongolian man was familiar with Lakshin, and directly opened his hand and walked towards Lakshin.

Lakshin also jumped off the horse and walked over quickly, the two hugged each other, and after separating, Lakshin took out a bamboo tube from the blanket on his body, but it was the tobacco leaves that Dai Qin gave him earlier.

When the Mongolian saw this bamboo tube, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his big hand excitedly, and he was ready to get the bamboo tube. Unexpectedly, Rakshen's hand shrank, and the Mongolian man directly pounced, and then Rakshen said unhurriedly: "Hehe! This tobacco leaf was given to me by Daiqin, and I can't take it away from you alone!"

"Oh, Daiqin?" The Mongol named Suri Lehok was slightly disappointed when he heard that this bamboo tube was not for him, but when he heard the name in Rakshen's mouth, he couldn't help but look at the team brought by Rakshen.

Dai Chin's position in the team was behind Lakshin. At this time, seeing Su Ri Le Hok, Dai Qin smiled at the package around him, took out another bamboo tube, and threw it directly to Su Ri Le Hok, saying, "How could you forget Su Ri Le Hok, big brother?"

Su Ri Lehoke happily caught the bamboo tube, just like Lakshen, sniffed the bamboo tube vigorously, felt the fragrance of the tobacco leaves, and then said slowly: "Sure enough, it's a good thing! Dai Qin, why are you here?"

While speaking, Su Ri Lehok glanced at all the people, and after a slight pause on Zilong and Wan'er, he found that there was not the slightest abnormality in this team. Immediately, Su Rile Heke pointed to Zilong and Wan'er, asked Dai Qin, and said, "Your people?"

"Yes!" Dai Qin had already jumped off his horse at this time and said respectfully.

"Okay!" Su Ri Lehok didn't say anything more, but raised his head slightly at the top of the city wall, and those guards of the Heavenly King faction directly collected their bows and arrows, and disappeared after a while.

"The Five Heavenly Kings are in the Heavenly Thunder Hall, and they are discussing things with the Sikong Hall Master, and it is a good time to go to the record, Lakshen, you should go first! I'll go find a good place and take a good sip!"

When Rakshin saw that Suzhlehok had disappeared, he immediately led the people to find a small gate one man high on the north wall, and led them over the urn wall.

At this time, Zilong was constantly communicating with Wan'er about the defense situation of the Black Stone Pass of the Heavenly King Sect. Although Wan'er is a daughter, she has learned a lot of military books and war strategies, which is Zilong, and she was also taught by Wan'er. Therefore, she said: "I'm afraid this Black Stone Pass will be the first problem for us to attack the Heavenly King Sect in the future!"

"Yes! Originally, it was inconvenient for the large army to attack on that mountain road! This black stone pass was blocked in the widest position of the avenue, it was really a majestic pass!" Zilong said slowly.

"Moreover, after Xiongguan, there is also an urn city, with these two defensive measures, even if the Ming army comes to attack the overall situation, without the support of artillery, it is difficult to attack in! And this is on a high mountain of hundreds of zhang, if you want to transport the artillery up, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky! Hey!" Wan'er sighed softly and said.

"Let's continue to take a look first!" Zilong was also at a loss for this black stone pass, but now that the arrow was on the line, he had to send it. For the sake of Ma Fengyue and the Fengyue Gang, and for the blood feud of more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians on the border of Ningxia, Zilong can only face difficulties.

"Okay!" Wan'er didn't say anything more. At that moment, the two of them crossed the Black Stone Pass with Lakshen and the others, and happened to see the scene of the Heavenly King Sect's main altar behind the pass.
