Chapter Seventy-Five: Hebei News

"Come, let me see what fell under your feet?" How could Zhao Yinian not recognize Dongmei's little trick, and was about to sit up when he was on his back, but halfway through, he felt dizzy in his head, lost his strength and fell back to the bed, and at the same time, there was a sharp pain from the wound that was pulled.

Dong Mei hurriedly stretched out her hand to help the unlucky General Zhao, and put a pillow on his back, but gloated in her mouth: "My lord, your health is important, do you need to find any evidence? ”

Zhao Yinian laughed angrily at Dongmei's yin and yang weird tone and said: "Little girl, don't be complacent, I know that your master is here now, as long as Lord Ben sues you in front of him, someone will naturally beat you on my behalf." ”

"That's too bad!" Dongmei bent down, picked up the grass roots she threw away, ran to the window, pushed the window and threw it out, and came back with a grin: "Now it's okay, my lord has no evidence, see how you wronged me?"

Zhao Yinian stared at the little girl in front of him with a smile and a smile, only blaming himself for being too easy-going with them at the beginning, so that he lost his majesty and buried today's disaster.

Now, Zhao Yinian had no choice but to sigh and say: "That's it, that's it, this general has a lot of people, don't worry about you little girl." I'm hungry, serve General Ben to eat, and wait for it, General Ben will naturally not make irresponsible remarks in front of your master. ”

Hearing Zhao Yinian's compromise, Dongmei smiled proudly: "I know that the adult is a good person." After speaking, he picked up the bowl and waited for Zhao Yinian to eat.

In fact, after a life-and-death battle, Zhao Yinian woke up and saw Dongmei, a clever and lovely girl, the two were compared, and her heart was still warm, especially when Dongmei spoke, her expression and movements were extremely rich, her smile was very cute, and her body was twisting around, refusing to stop for a moment, which was extremely interesting.

Zhao Yinian looked funny, and deliberately led Dongmei to speak, and asked her: "Have I been in a coma for three days and four nights? Where are you now? How did you stand out from the thieves?"

"We were stuck at the top of the slope, cold and hungry. While feeding Zhao Yinian, Dongmei recalled: "Fortunately, there are still a thousand war horses left by Lord Zhao on the slopeβ€”"

"What?" Zhao Yinian said angrily when he heard this: "You ate my horse?"

"The horses barked pitifully before they died. Dongmei stopped feeding, and said with an extremely sad look on her face: "Listening to their calls, Iβ€”I can't eat the meatβ€”"

Seeing that Dongmei was dizzy and wanted to cry, she was really about to shed tears, but Zhao Yinian couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Some horses are just some horses, just eat them, they can save 5,000 villagers, and they are worth dying." ”

"Stingy!" Dongmei frowned, "I just ate less than two hundred of your horses." As he spoke, his little tongue licked his lips, revealing a greedy look and said, "I didn't expect horse meat to be really delicious!"

"Fuck you!" Zhao Yinian scolded angrily, if it weren't for the pain of the wound, he would have to hit someone with a pillow.

"It's vulgar!" Dong Mei said disdainfully, and continued: "It wasn't until yesterday that the 30,000 troops in the province arrived under the leadership of General Xie Qifeng, and the thieves withdrew from the siege and left, and we were able to return to the welcoming restaurant opened by the thieves. ”

"It turned out to be back in the restaurant. Zhao Yinian turned his head to look at the furnishings in the house and asked Dongmei, "Have you found out the strangeness in this building?"

"Of course there is!" Dongmei became excited, put the bowl on the table, and danced with her hands: "Everyone searched carefully and found that the inner wall of the restaurant was in disrepair, leaving many inconspicuous potholes, which did not match the regularity of the appearance of the building. This caught everyone's attention, and upon inspection, some of the holes were bottomless. So we dug the hole wider, and we saw the copper pipes buried in the wall, leading from the wall to the ground. ”

"I thought they had clairvoyance and ears. Zhao Yinian said disdainfully: "It turned out to be a nest of rats!"

"It's not one litter, it's just two. Dongmei snickered: "Luo Huaping is really scheming. The exit of the cave was originally in an underground wine cellar, but in order to prevent anyone from discovering it, the thieves completely blocked the entrance of the cave with stones, leaving only a large amount of food in the cave. If it weren't for the greed of those two thieves, who led the sheep into the cellar with two jars of wine, it would have happened to make you, a drunkardβ€”"

Seeing that Zhao Yinian was staring again, Dongmei smiled and changed her words: "Let the god nose General Zhao smell it, otherwise who would have thought that under the ground of this inn, there would be two big living people?"

"No wonder the smell of wine disappeared suddenly that day, it must be that the thief heard the conversation and was so frightened that he sealed the mouth of the wine jar. Zhao Yinian smiled and nodded.

"The most ridiculous thing is that the thieves thought they had the chance to win, and after occupying this place, they didn't dig the cellar. Dongmei said in a tone that deserved the other party's guilt: "When the army in the province came, Luo Hua retreated, and the two thieves trapped underground knew that the matter was exposed, and finally committed suicide in fear of crime." ”

Zhao Yinian frowned again and continued to ask Dongmei: "Since the exit of the cave has been sealed, how did the thief send the news up the mountain in time?"

"That's the power of thieves. "We found a very thick and long rope in the hole, extending from the hole into a small brick eye. Everyone pulled the rope and dragged the pillar incense for a long time, only to find that a mark tied to a silk scarf had been pulled out. The thief must have written the message and wrapped it in a silk scarf on a rope, and then dragged it out by the thief outside. Judging from the length of the rope, the exit of the small hole was at least outside the mile. ”

"Have you found the location of this exit?" Zhao Yinian was very interested in how Luo Huaping dug up such a long secret passage.

"Our lord said. When Dongmei said of Ouyang Yu, the starlight in her eyes flashed, and she said with a look of adoration: "Since the thief's secret has been discovered, he will abandon it and will not wait to be caught." So you don't have to make that effort, looking for opportunities to break through the cottage is the right way. ”

"Your master is a figure who can afford to take and put down. Zhao Yinian nodded in praise.

"Do you still need to say this?" Dongmei had a smug expression that made Zhao Yinian vomit blood.

While the two were talking and laughing, Zhao Yinian finally drank a bowl of gruel. Just woke up, his stomach was not running smoothly, and Dongmei didn't dare to give him more to eat, so he told Zhao Yinian to rest well, clean up the dishes and chopsticks and go downstairs.

After a while, Zheng Dapeng, Gao Fenglan and others got the news and went upstairs to visit. Among the companions, in addition to Chai Shaoning, Geng Qiuwen Zhongxiao, Zhao Yinian's subordinate He Runyu, and the new deputy general Xie Qifeng, there was another middle-aged man in red.

This person looks to be in his fifties, with a mighty appearance and a strong body, standing there at will, and there is a king-like calm and domineering aura coming out of his body.

Zhao Yinian knew that this was his life-saving benefactor, Ouyang Qian's father, Ouyang Yu, the god of the East China Sea, and he barely propped up his upper body to express his gratitude.

Zheng Dapeng hurriedly approached the head of the bed, pressed Zhao Yinian and said, "Brother Zhao, don't move, my senior brother has come to see you." ”

Zhao Yinian hugged his fists and said: "Great grace is not grateful." Zhao is very honored to see the famous Ouyang Daxia today. I just don't know why Ouyang Daxia came to Taihang Mountain?"

"The general is polite!" Ouyang Yu's voice was very loud, and he had a kind of charming charm that was not angry and arrogant, and explained loudly: "I went to the sea to play, and after returning to the village, I heard that Senior Brother and Qian'er were facing the Heavenly Thief Gang that had been extinct for many years, and they couldn't rest assured, so they came all the way. A few days ago, when the heavy rain stopped, I didn't want to delay any longer, so I set off immediately, who knew that as soon as I bypassed the Black Tiger Peak, I heard the shouts of killing in front of me, but I happened to meet the general. ”

"It seems that Zhao's life should not be extinguished. Zhao Yinian laughed, turned his head and asked He Runyu on the side: "In the battle that day, what were the casualties of the villagers and brothers?"

He Runyu replied: "Thanks to the quick opportunity of the adults, the villagers were able to retreat to the mountain safely, and the casualties were not too large. It's just-" He Runyu paused and said: "Of the 10,000 horses and horses of General Hu's army, less than 1,000 have returned to the team, and the 1,000 brothers we brought with us are outnumbered, most of them are killed, and there are only about 100 people left." ”

Zhao Yinian's eyes shot a painful look, and he said for a long time: "Pack up the bones of the brothers and transport them back to their hometown in the future, and they must not be allowed to bury their bodies in the barren mountain." ”

He Runyu said with tears in his eyes: "My subordinates have already collected the bodies of the brothers, but the return journey is far away, and it is difficult to carry them. ”

"It's okay!" Zhao Yinian nodded, endured his grief, and asked Ouyang Yu again: "Ouyang Daxia has come all the way, have you heard of any recent moves in the Holy Sword Villa?"

"General Zhao is really a warm-hearted person. After Ouyang Yu heard Zhao Yinian wake up, he asked all about others, and couldn't help but praise before saying: "Lu Yushan took a bite back, saying that my junior brother colluded with the nine ghosts and other small rivers and lakes, and used sword scores and divine objects as bait to lure and slaughter the world's heroes, causing Lu Tianyong, the young owner of the Holy Sword Villa, Lu Xiufeng, the old owner of the village, and the four swords of the village to kill Taiyuan Mansion one after another. Now, as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, he and Wudang Sect Yunyang Zhenren jointly issued a letter, inviting Gu Zhenming, the owner of Fengwu Mountain Villa and the Sankui Sword Emperor, to come out of the mountain to help eradicate the nine ghosts in Sichuan and my junior brother. ”

"Lu Xiufeng's death means the rebirth of the Heavenly Thief. Zhao Yinian broke the mystery, and then frowned and asked Zheng Dapeng: "Didn't Yunyang Zhenren go to Hebei at the invitation of Brother Zheng to investigate the case of the Heavenly Thief? How could he now throw himself on Lu Yushan's side? His approach is tantamount to publicly showing Wulin that the Heavenly Thief case not only has nothing to do with Lu Yushan, but also confirms the crime of framing Lu Xiufeng. ”

"We didn't expect this, maybe Yunyang Zhenren was deceived by Lu Yushan. Zheng Dapeng analyzed: "Lu Yushan openly invited martial arts people from all over the world to participate in this matter, responding to the rumors in the rivers and lakes in a positive way, plus Yunyang Zhenren is on his side, which is enough to show his innocence." Now Lu Yushan uses the hatred of the people in the rivers and lakes for the nine ghosts to coerce Fengwu Villa, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. He himself and Lu Xiufeng were divided into light and dark lines, and the deployment was very detailed. Using the Taihang group to eliminate us must also be one of the strategies, but he ignored Brother Zhao's strange army. ”
