Dozens of horses guarded a carriage on the post road unhurriedly, the on-demand pedestrians and carriages were carefully avoided, for fear of causing unnecessary disputes, and even after the two dart teams saw them from a distance, they also stopped on the side of the road, let the convoy pass, and then continued the mountain road.
The bird circled twice in the air, and then quickly landed on the car, the coachman pulled the horse, the whole convoy immediately stopped, the coachman sent the bird into the car, Reina picked up the bird, will take off the small bamboo tube from the bird's legs, take out the note inside, and then hand the bird to the outside of the driver, the driver stroked the feathers of the bird, and then took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket and fed it to the bird, the bird took the dried meat into his mouth, chewed carefully, raised his head and cooed twice, and then jumped on the driver's shoulder, looked around.
Reiner unfolded the note, then took out a booklet and turned the numbers on the note into a piece of text by comparing the words on the booklet.
The note was the latest news of the imperial capital, these days, although he was not in the imperial capital, he knew everything that happened in the imperial capital, including the attack on Liufu, including Baiyiyuan's reaction to Xiao Yu's request, Liu Han reported it to him in detail.
A cold wind blew the curtains open, Reina looked up at the window, the Yellow River was in the distance, frozen for a winter Yellow River, began to thaw, large pieces of ice floe slowly moved downstream, the river wind was still cold, the grass on the embankment shivered in the cold wind, and green leaf buds bloomed on the dry branches in the distance.
The earth is green, farmers are busy in the fields, some of the land is flooded, the wheat fields are rejuvenated, and the green wheat seedlings are swaying with the wind.
Reina looked at the field intently, two children in tattered clothes ran through the field, ****'s feet were in the cold wind, and his loose hair was fluttering with the wind.
With a deep exhale, Reina set his gaze on the note again.
"After Liufu, the imperial capital is calm, there is no news inside and outside, I think about it again and again, combined with the news last time, the enemy's main force may move out, and it may be attacked on the way back from my brother, so my brother should be cautious. ”
This time I went out to inspect the eastern part of the imperial capital, and things went very smoothly, most of the rudder owners in various places were old men in the wind and rain building, and their loyalty to Xiao Yu and Reina had not changed, and the focus of the eastern tour was also very smooth.
During this time, He Dong took advantage of Chang Meng's disappearance to make a big move in Pengcheng, driving all the unsatisfactory gangs in Pengcheng out of the Pengcheng territory, and then turned the knife to clean up the gangs around Luoma Lake, and the gangs around Luoma Lake either surrendered or fled, and Luoma Water Village successfully dominated the extremely surrounding Luoma Lake.
Therefore, when Reina arrived, Reina was greeted by the high-spirited He Dong, Reina did not hide anything and told him what happened in the imperial capital, but he also told He Dong that Xiao Yu was not dead, but he was injured and was recuperating in a secret place in the imperial capital, but he also concealed it at the same time, the defeat of the wind and rain building was closely related to the palace, and also hinted that Xiao Yu's division would send a master to come.
He Dong also has eyeliner in the imperial capital, he has long received the news of the change in the wind and rain building, just when he was moved, he received the news that the top-grade grandmaster and Shi Ping were killed, which made him very shocked, the master of the Hanhai Trading Company is actually the cultivation of the top-grade grandmaster, no wonder Xiao Yu is so sure when fighting against the Cao Gang.
And Shi Ping is famous all over the rivers and lakes, faintly has the number one master in Jizhou, but he didn't think about it but folded in this battle, he couldn't help sighing.
He tentatively asked Reina, Reina vaguely admitted the high-grade grandmaster, but did not admit that Shi Ping died at the hands of Liu Han, however, He Dong naturally had He Dong's thoughts.
In short, the Luoma Water Village was appeased, and Renner checked the Pengcheng rudder of the Fengyu Building, the Pengcheng rudder is a new rudder, but due to the special geographical location of Pengcheng, Xiao Yu sent a heavy general among the seven stars and eight generals in Pengcheng, named Guo Zhan, Guo Zhan is deeply trusted by Xiao Yu, and is one of Xiao Yu's most trusted people;
Reina told Guo Zhan that the scale of the Pengcheng rudder was still like this, and it would remain unchanged and not to clash with the Luoma Water Village, however, Reina lifted the development of the Pengcheng rudder and let Guo Zhan develop east and south, and set up a secret rudder in Lanling Xiangben and other places in Donghai County and Wuxian County in the south, and even as far as Yangzhou to listen to the news.
After these things were arranged, Reina left Pengcheng to the west, on the way to come, he had already inspected the rudder of Junyi and other places in the east of the imperial capital, this time on the return trip, he originally planned to stop in these two places for a while, but he didn't think about it, and he received a warning from Liu Han on the way.
"Let Shen Chen and Liu Tie come over. Reina said outside, after a while, Shen Chen Liutie opened the curtain and came in, Reina didn't say anything, handed the transcribed note to the two of them, and after the two of them quickly read it, he asked calmly: "What do you think?"
Liu Tie lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "If the other party comes with the main force, our strength is insufficient, I suggest a different route and return to the imperial capital from Yuyuan Pass in the south." ”
Shen Chen also nodded: "What Brother Liu said is that it is not appropriate for us to fight with them now. ”
Reina didn't speak, closed his eyes and thought about it, the two of them didn't bother him, Shen Chen naturally knew his habits, but Liu Tie developed a habit by Liu Han's side, and put forward his own opinions when he asked for advice, otherwise he would wait for instructions.
After a while, Reina opened his eyes, looked at the two of them, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said categorically: "No change, our route remains the same, hmph, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, we have been passively beaten, this time, we want to lure the snake out of the hole." ”
Shen Chen glanced at Liu Tie when he heard this, Liu Tie was not silent, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Sir, isn't this too risky, we don't know how much strength these thousand-year-old families have hidden, just in case..."
Reina shook his head and said: "No, you are all blinded by the aura of these thousand-year-old families, although these families last for thousands of years, but after a thousand years, they have also developed a kind of arrogance, so their attention is focused on the imperial capital state office, such a place, a small place, they generally don't care." Attacking us, without forty or fifty people, is definitely not enough. ”
Reina showed a sneer, took a deep breath, and said resolutely: "Immediately inform the Yanshi rudder, and secretly investigate the changes in the Yanshi's extreme vicinity, Liu Tie, you immediately and secretly rush to the Yanshi, and when you arrive, don't meet with the Yanshi rudder, just check there, and don't use the Yanshi rudder's people unless necessary." ”
After speaking, Reina handed Liu Tie a token, which was the token of military order in the Wind and Rain Building, second only to Xiao Yu.
Liu Tie didn't answer, frowned and said, "Sir, you're taking a risk." ”
"It's an adventure," Reina's hand was still stretched out in front of Liu Tie, with a firm expression: "But if you don't take risks, you can't do it, only by eliminating or severely invading them can we eliminate the hidden dangers of Cao Yun, otherwise, how many manpower do we have to invest in this thousand miles of Cao Yun to prevent safety." ”
Liu Tie stretched out his hand to take the token, and when he was about to get the token, he stopped again, looked up at Reina and said: "The order given to me by the shopkeeper is to obey your command, but the shopkeeper has another order, which must ensure your safety, if something happens to you, I can't explain it to the shopkeeper." ”
"It's okay, I'll inform Mr. Liu about this. Reina showed a smile, but admired Liu Han in his heart, Liu Tie's cultivation was strong, higher than Shen Chen, but he was loyal to Liu Han, and there was no violation of his orders.
Liu Tie didn't say anything, picked up the token and turned around to exit the carriage, jumped on the horse, and walked away.
Shen Chen also exited the carriage, summoned his entourage, and redeployed the guards, while Reina wrote his idea into a password, which he had only recently learned, and Liu Han and Liu Tie were in charge of the church.
The bird flew back into the sky, flapped its wings in the sky, and flew westward.
"The speed of the team is halved, we don't have to go that fast. ”
Ten days later, when they arrived at Yanshi, Reina stayed in a small inn in the city, an important city west of the imperial capital, where the imperial court had a heavy garrison, and after dark, the curfew was very strict.
The inn is not big, Reina simply chartered the entire inn, and all the passengers who originally lived in the inn let them move out at three times the price, and those travelers did not dare to protest when they saw those fierce guards, and immediately moved away after taking the money.
Soon the helmsman of the Yanshi division came to ask for a meeting, and the helmsman's name was Yu Xing, a man in his thirties, with a stout body and a thick beard, who looked powerful and powerful.
When Yu Xing entered the house, Reina had already finished grooming and was eating dinner, and when he saw him come in, he beckoned him to eat together, Yu Xing didn't refuse, he sat opposite Reina, raised his eyes and saw Shen Chen, Shen Chen was sitting on the side, carefully polishing his sword.
"Why doesn't Brother Shen eat it?"
"You kid is getting more and more presumptuous, the military advisor calls you, you just sit down, leave me alone, you eat first." Shen Chen said lightly, and Yu Xing smiled: "I've been running outside for the past few days, and I haven't had a stable meal for a long time, hehe, military advisor, Brother Shen, my subordinates are presumptuous." ”
"Leave him alone, charlatan, there are so many rules," Reina smiled and said, "How is it, is there anything abnormal?"
Yu Xing shook his head and said: "During this time, there are about 100 people in the rivers and lakes who have passed through Yanshi, of which sixty-seven are dart masters, twenty-six are people from five sects, and the rest are scattered, and their cultivation is not high. However, it is a bit strange that there are very few people from the rivers and lakes from Jizhou during this time, and there are no private soldiers passing by. ”
"From Yanshi to Luoyang, this road is too long, and the number of brothers under me is insufficient to fully monitor, so I focus on monitoring seven locations," Yu Xing said and took out a road map and handed it to Reina, Reina took it and looked at it carefully, Shen Chen also walked over, looked carefully behind Reina, and looked at it for a while, Shen Chen compared it with the situation in his memory.
"Brother Yu, you have done it carefully enough. Shen Chen sighed, Yu Xing did it very carefully, these seven locations are indeed the places with the most complex terrain, and they are also the most vulnerable to ambushes.
"Thank you. Reina smiled faintly, put the map aside, and Yu Xing said: "I checked the manors near these seven locations, it is not easy to check, according to the reaction of the nearby farmers, these manors have not been stationed in a large group of private soldiers recently, and the manors near here are either Huangzhuang or Wangzhuang, there are only a few manors that belong to the family of the gate valve, but those are all the Yanzhou Cheng family's He family, there is no Jizhou gate valve, I have infiltrated these manors, there are no outsiders." Strategist, is this news accurate?"
Reina shook his head slightly: "There is no exact news, just a judgment, the road is quite stable, maybe I am too careful." ”
Yu Xing looked at the table, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Why is there no wine?" ”
"The military advisor has an order that before returning to the imperial capital, it is forbidden to drink alcohol. Shen Chen said: "Brother, replace the bar with tea." ”
Yu Xing looked around, hehe smiled bitterly, Reiner lifted the teapot and poured him a cup of tea: "I wronged you today, and when I go to the imperial capital in the future, I will invite you to drink again, and tell the brothers that this time is harder." ”
"The military advisor said that," Yu Xing took the teacup, and then sighed: "The brothers are holding back the fire in their hearts, military advisor, is there any news from the landlord?"
"There's already news," Reina replied, "the landlord is still alive, but he is wounded and recuperating." ”
"Oh, that's good!" Yu Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "This time, there are a lot of dead and wounded brothers in the building, do you want me to transfer some people back." ”
"It's not necessary for the time being, you just need to defend the Yanshi," Reina shook his head and said, then sighed: "This time is a hurdle in my Wind and Rain Building, we have to work together to overcome this hurdle." ”
"Don't worry, military advisor, who dares to eat inside and out, Lao Tzu stabbed him. Yu Xing's voice was very strong, and Reina nodded approvingly.
Reina asked about the development of the Yanshi rudder, and told Yu Xing that the Yellow River had thawed and would soon be passable, and that Yanshi was an important ferry port to the east of the imperial capital, and that it was necessary to pay attention to the wharf, especially to guard against the comeback of the Cao Gang.
Yu Xing nodded again and again, patted his chest and promised to take down the dock outside the city.
"Something happened to the imperial capital, Yanshi can't have another accident, during this time, not only you, but also the brothers below, you must be careful, you must be vigilant, you must not be careless, if you are careless, I will deal with it with the rules." ”
Yu Xingteng stood up and promised loudly: "Please rest assured, I will guard the Yanshi well, and if there is a mistake, I should atone for myself." ”
After eating, Reina chatted with Yu Xing for a while, Yu Xing said goodbye, Reina and Shen Chen did not send it, after Yu Xing came out, he was about to go out, when he suddenly heard a horse nose, Yu Xing turned his head to look, Reina's coachman was feeding the horse.
"Lao Cao, I haven't rested yet. Yu Xing raised his voice to greet, Lao Cao glanced back at him, ignored it, and still concentrated on feeding the horse, the horse bowed his head to eat, he patted the horse's head affectionately, and whispered.
Yu Xing smiled, didn't care, hummed a little song and went out, around the room, there were many guards, guards with swords roaming, and the guards were extremely tight.
