Chapter Eighty-Five: Accidents
The days on Lishan were clean and leisurely, and the tiger waited for half a month in horror. The Han army actually had no intention of attacking the mountain at all, and Canghu observed from the mountain, and it seemed that the Han army had no intention of encircling it for a long time. Occasionally, there are even Zhuang households of the Yun family who sneak up the mountain to bring some wine and food to the Yun family in the mountain.
"Boss, it looks like the imperial court has no intention of attacking the mountain! Is it to trap us here? Canghu stood at the Eagle's Beak Rock and looked through the binoculars at the Han army camp below.
"No, they won't allow the dealers to send us anything if that happens. Isn't it paralyzing us, thinking about copying a path or something to attack the mountain? Cang Jingkong didn't know much about the topography of Lishan, and looked around blankly.
"Big brother, it's impossible to attack along the path. If you want to enter the mountain, you must take this eagle's beak rock, but you can see that we have a good view of it. Wherever they went, they went down the path, and besides, the nearby paths were watched by our people for twelve hours. Even if a mouse comes through, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”
Canghu has been at the foot of Li Mountain for a long time, and knows almost every road into the mountain. The spider-web-like paths on Lishan Mountain grew in his head, and as long as the eagle's beak rock was stuck, no one could slip into the mountain, unless these Han soldiers turned into birdmen and grew wings.
"This is strange, could it be that the imperial court still wants to negotiate peace with the Hou Ye?" Cang Jingkong said suspiciously. He had already thought of this judgment, but the sudden appearance of the fine work made him a little suspicious.
"Forget it, there are thousands of ways to sell tofu at night. Our brothers can't figure out anything here, but it's a pity that this Han army is so powerful that it is difficult for our people to sneak into Chang'an City. Otherwise, you can find out something. ”
Canghu sighed helplessly, and more than 20,000 Han troops turned Yunjia Zhuangzi into a large barracks. Canghu, who has always boasted of being deaf and clear-sighted, is now blind and deaf. The eyeliner in the ambush in Chang'an City is now untouchable.
I thought about asking the bankers who went up the mountain to help me get in touch, but I swallowed it back before I could say anything. Although these dealers know the roots, they are unpredictable in the end. Those detailed works are all foreshadowing for many years, and it would be a little worthless to expose them like this.
"In the morning I caught another golden carp, and the old man told the cook to stew it. Let's leave him alone here, let's have a drink or two. Anyway, looking at the current situation, things may have a turn for the better. ”
"Good. The days in the mountains are also considered moisturizing. Let's see what this little emperor can do to you and my brother. Canghu couldn't see anything after watching it for a long time. Just don't think about these troublesome things. I accompanied my eldest brother to the edge of the reservoir to drink.
"Big brother, are we killing early? Maybe those Qiang people don't all want to collude with the imperial court, these days I always have a ghost in my ears. It's rare to sleep well at night, and every time I walk to the mine, I panic. I always felt that there were still living people in the mine. My ears were filled with the sound of fingernails scratching stones. ”
Canghu took a long sip of steamed wine. Caught a carp with chopsticks. Not to mention that the cook's squirrel fish is a must, but the carp has more spines. If you don't get one right, it will pierce your throat and be difficult to tighten.
"In my opinion. If you kill it, you will kill it. The inner ghosts can't help but the outer ghosts are endless, if those Qiang people make trouble. Are you really sure you can hold Lishan? There are tens of thousands of people of all ages, and there are only a few people under you. Brother, if you hadn't made a decisive move. I can't say, now our heads are hanging on the walls of Chang'an and drying. ”
Cang Jingkong didn't look at his age, his teeth were not bad, and he scooped a spoonful of fried soybeans. Throw it into your mouth and crunch it.
"I don't know what happened to our cubs outside, my little tiger is protected by the fourth child and the little bear boy by the side of the Hou Ye, but I'm not afraid. I'm worried about that kid of yours, alone in Jiangnan. If my family doesn't say a word, I don't think that kid can carry the big mess in Jiangnan.
Before I went up the mountain, I had already received rumors that he was there encouraging the villagers to make trouble. I really sweat for him, those villagers have been poor for a long time. I can't see money, and I go crazy when I see money. If the King of Jiujiang spilled money to buy it, I was afraid that Canglan would lose ugly. Canghu said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid, I believe that other princes can do this. Only this King of Jiujiang is impossible. His money, every copper is running on his ribs. If you take one with blood and tendons, it will hurt his heart.
Among so many descendants of Gaozu, the most wealthy one is this prince. The first emperor once heard that the king of Jiujiang was poor, so he thought of exempting Jiujiang from some money and grain. As soon as the Tingwei Office inquired, there were eighteen treasures in the Jiujiang Palace. That's it, and crying with the first emperor all day long. Every time I came to Chang'an, I wore patched clothes.
This prince, that's a money man. If there is no cure, let him give money to those mud-legged people against my son! Hum! Unless the sun hits the west and comes out. ”
Cang Jingkong babbled a lot, this Jiujiang King loves wealth and is also famous for his big man. Almost everyone in the court knows about it, and Liu Qi also had a headache when he heard the word Liu Ji. This is a character who would rather lose his life than lose his money.
"I hope so! It's not interesting to eat this fish alone, I'll fetch you two pheasants in the evening. It's almost autumn, and this pheasant is the fattest. In the afternoon, I went to fight two and drink for my eldest brother in the evening. ”
"That's a good feeling, I heard that the one invented by Hou Ye is called a flower chicken. The old man has never tasted it just after hearing about it, so you must ask the cook to make such a dish for the old man. All these years in the palace, I can't compare to you in the Yun family. Now it seems that I made the right choice at the beginning. With this Hou Ye, sooner or later, our family will have a prosperous day. ”
"Big brother, do you mean ......?"
"You've got that idea again! I told you that it's not a good thing to be the founder of that Rauschzi. Just like you, nine out of nine are Han Xin. With your head and temperament, you want to be Xiao He in the next life! Cang Jingkong glanced at Canghu obliquely, it seems that this brother still can't let go.
"Isn't this what you provoked, big brother, let's go with one of them." Canghu drained the steamed wine in the cup in one gulp.
"By the way, what's that cliff up there for? I look always on guard, what's in there. I've never been up with my old arms and legs. ”
Cang Jingkong drained the wine in his glass and pointed to a cliff on the side of the reservoir and said.
"Oh, the eldest brother is talking about the Ethereal Peak! ...... there" Canghu looked left and right, turned his head and said to Cang Jingkong: "The former eldest lady knows!" It's the one from the Luan family. ”
"Oh! Could it be that she is locked up there? Cang Jingkong was stunned when he heard this, and then said.
"Not only her, but also one of her cousins. The two sisters are locked up on it, and they blame the eldest lady for doing it on weekdays. Forget about it, but turn your elbow outward. You said that the king of Jiujiang is a money tuberculosis, but in fact, I think this grandmother is also a money tuberculosis.
If it weren't for the fact that she sold so many Hun mares that Hou Ye had saved, our family would not even buy pack horses from the Western Regions now. What a woman! If your hair is long and your knowledge is short, you don't know which is more important. I heard that he also gave the secret recipe of the perfume to his mother's family privately and asked the Luan family to prepare it in Luoyang. Today, I see that the bubbles on my feet are all walking on my own. Why do you think this woman is ......?"
"What's the matter with her sister?" Cang Jingkong stopped the gushing Canghu and said.
"When the Luan family heard that the Hou Ye had locked up the eldest lady, they were so frightened that they lost their souls. Luan Xiong hurriedly sent his daughter, hoping to fill the position left by the eldest lady. Unexpectedly, Hou Ye didn't even look at it, so he sent someone to take him up the mountain to live with her cousin. It's been a few years, except for the guards on duty. No one has ever been up on weekdays, and if you don't ask me, I'll almost forget about it.
After a while, I went up the mountain to hunt pheasants and stopped by to have a look. Although the army surrounded the mountain, they didn't dare to snub these two aunts and grandmothers. Although he is now guilty, after all, Hou Ye still loves the eldest lady. Perhaps, the eldest lady will be released as soon as her heart softens after the eldest lady begs for mercy. ”
"Hmmm! The third child has grown up, and it is always right to worship God more. It's a pity that I can't get this old bone up, otherwise I would like to see what this eldest lady is like now. When she married Hou Ye, she was a beauty in her prime. ”
Cang Jingkong's eyes looked leisurely into the distance, thinking as if he was in front of him.
"Forget it, don't talk about it. Let's go a ......" Canghu picked up the wine glass in front of him and toasted Cangjingkong.
Before he knew it, Cang Jingkong drank heavily, and the drinking power of those who went up to the grade was naturally not as good as that of Canghu. Ordered someone to help Cang Jingkong to rest, and Canghu climbed to the Ethereal Peak with more than a dozen guards with three points of drunkenness.
A cool mountain breeze blew, and the scented tiger was very comfortable. It seems that the days in this mountain are not bad, at least they are much more leisurely than usual. I don't know how much trouble I don't know.
Canghu climbed the ethereal peak with the guards, and it was a group of old guards guarding the door. are all subordinates who have followed Yun Xiao for many years, and guarding this ethereal peak has never been a good job. It's half a year to go up the mountain, and I can't do anything else except look at the scenery in this half year.
The four men could only blow the mountain wind without anything, which was really difficult.
Since there was no one on the hill, the two guards guarding the gate were not armoured. Seeing Canghu coming with people from a distance, the face of the leader changed as soon as he "brushed".
"Tiger ...... Tiger Master! How are you free today. The man at the head bowed to the tiger, and his face was red and white, which was extremely unnatural.
"Your kid is drilling sand here now, and the tiger master has come to see here. How about it, this Ethereal Peak is fine! Canghu's heart struck, and the two tigers stared at the guard.
"Okay, it's all good." The guards laughed along, but the smile seemed so unnatural.
"Oh, I'm going to pay a visit to the eldest lady."
"No......"
Canghu immediately froze and looked at the guards suspiciously.
"Big ...... The eldest lady rested. Another guard hurried to the road. Canghu was even more puzzled in his heart, and the guards behind him stopped the two guys with a look.
"Tiger...... Something to talk about. As soon as the courtyard door opened, a woman's voice came out. Canghu looked back and couldn't help but fly out of the sky. (To be continued......)
