Seeking War (3)

When night fell, a man in black carried a waist knife, under the bright moonlight, his body was slender and slender, he carried a big hat, and a curtain of black veil hung down on the hat, completely covering his face.

He looked at the position of the moon, at the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind, and frowned.

The time had come, and the husband had just reported the change, and the sound of the watch passed through the wicker, over the thick city wall, and when it reached the ears, it seemed a little ethereal.

"Ugly. ”

He was more sure of the time of day, pacing back and forth outside the city.

A gust of wind sounded, and he looked up to see that many figures suddenly appeared on the city wall.

The figures leaped down, light and graceful, like a kitten gently falling to the ground, and there was no sound under their feet.

They stood in front of him in unison, bowing their heads together, without making a sound.

"Let's go!" she snorted, lowering her voice, crisp and beautiful.

......

Falling grass mountain.

The miscellaneous taxes in Yuezhou are quite heavy, and many people have escaped and run to other cities, and many people can't swallow this breath and fall into the grass.

There is a group of bandits who have been entrenched for a long time on the grass mountain, and they call themselves "chivalrous bandits" and rob the rich. As for those who are unlucky to pass by, there are only two options, if the strong one is to join the gang, everyone will have meat and eat meat together. If you don't enter, you will be thrown directly into the ravine of the back mountain. Those who are old, weak, sick and disabled have no choice at all, and it is better to be honestly oppressed by the officers and soldiers in Yuezhou when they encounter the bandits in Yandang.

"I'd rather go to prison than fall into the grass. This is a rule that has been passed down by word of mouth in recent years.

The grass mountains and mountains are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The back mountain is as if it has been cut by a sharp sword, forming a cliff. It was from here that the corpses were thrown down into the white mist.

The bright moonlight illuminated the earth, and a group of black-clothed people walked towards Yandang Mountain.

They were agile, like shadows in the dark.

The slender legs are elastic, and with a slight flick, you can jump to a certain height with a single kick. Of course, this is under the premise that they don't use mana.

Between the cliffs, they are like birds in the night.

On the cliff, the lights are bright.

Strangely, they didn't encounter any guards along the way, let alone any open or dark sentinels.

The mountains and the mountains are dangerous, and they are a group of rabble, and they think it is a moat by virtue of the terrain, and they don't think much about it.

All the way up, they saw the hall, and also saw the three bright big characters "Zhongyi Hall" at the door of the room.

As soon as the black-clothed hats led by the leader stretched out their hands, more than a dozen black-clothed people all stopped.

She felt a slight chill in her heart, and shouted in a rough voice: "Who is Your Excellency, this group of bandits is of great use to us, and I hope Your Excellency will let it go, and after that, the mountains and rivers will be long, and it will be good to form a good fate." ”

As soon as the words fell, a rough man who was tied up with five flowers was thrown out and slammed on the ground.

"No, this is the head of this place, I've got you. ”

A crisp sound came from inside the house, and two figures appeared at the door, one was dressed in white, holding a spear, and his body was slightly thin, and the other young man was wearing a green shirt, holding a fiery red sword, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, and a cheap smile on his face.

She frowned, she could feel that the strength of these two people was not weak, but there were more than a dozen people on her side, and they were not afraid.

"Thank you both, but what I want is the whole of Falling Grass Mountain. She still disguised her voice, which was very rough, and just listening to the voice, she would only guess that it was a man.

Xu Changan jumped up like a cat whose tail had been trampled: "What do you want this group of bandits to do?"

"What is the use, I can't say much about it, and I hope that the two of them will cut love!"

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "The two armies are fighting, and ordinary people will think twice even if they know that city is heaven. In today's situation, it is a lot of money to invite people to Nanfeng, but I am afraid that no one will go, so Liu Chenglang made a good calculation, collected all the bandits nearby, and then forced them to dress up as refugees, and when the play was finished in front of the people, this group of people filled an army by the way and expanded the team. ”

Then he smiled: "In the case of Luocao Mountain, there are two hundred people in one mountain, if you accept the people of ten mountains, if you use it well, it is also a combat power that cannot be ignored." ”

"Liu Chenglang has a good abacus, why don't you go back to Chang'an to help Ben Shizi be a shopkeeper?" Xu Changan also chuckled.

Under the hat, her eyes immediately sharpened, looked at Xu Changan, and asked in a thick voice: "Shizi?" Could it be that you are the prince of Pingshan and the marshal of the Western Route Army, Xu Changan?"

Then he looked at the young man with a gun in white.

"Yongwu Marquis Jiang Ming?"

Jiang Ming smiled and nodded.

She was suddenly a little anxious, knowing that she had stepped on a hard point.

"Let's go!" she snorted, and everyone stepped back in unison.

As soon as the words fell, the two Changhongs came to him, Xu Changan immediately jumped into the battle group and entangled several people, Jiang Ming looked coldly at the man in black who was in the lead.

Xu Changan was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, his long sword was wielding wantonly, and he could feel that these dozens of people were all in the realm of knowledge, and they could not pose a threat to him at all.

Although others can't hurt him, these dozens of people are also like flying swallows in the mountains, very dexterous, and Xu Changan, who is used to opening and closing moves, has never been able to hurt them in the slightest.

Xu Changan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ming and the leader.

The two had already exchanged hands, but it was obvious that that person was far from Jiang Ming's opponent.

Jiang Ming parried casually, dressed in white, with an indifferent expression, I don't know how many times more chic than Xu Changan.

The silver spear is like a dragon entering the sea, swinging freely, and the man is like a flat boat, struggling to move forward in the wind and waves, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed to pieces.

Xu Changan glanced at him, and after scolding a in his mouth, he seriously dealt with the opponent in front of him.

As soon as the long sword was thrown, he stood firmly in the air, pinched the sword trick in his hand, and pointed towards the sword body, he was three feet around him, and he was immediately filled with sword energy.

"Get up!" Xu Changan shouted lightly, the sword aura overflowed, and the more than ten black-clothed people all fell to the ground, and the hat was also cut in half by the sword qi!

Xu Changan was stunned for a moment and looked at the more than ten girls who fell to the ground.

At this time, Jiang Ming and the leader were fighting in the air, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the situation on the ground, he just felt a sword aura, presumably Xu Changan had already solved the opponent, and he naturally couldn't fall behind.

The gun is like a dragon, pressing step by step.

Jiang Ming saw a gap and pierced his heart. Then his mind changed, and he felt that it was better to capture it alive, so he withdrew his spear and replaced it with a palm.

A palm hit his chest, and the place where he touched was soft, Jiang Ming was stunned, the leader fell straight down, and the hat also fell, revealing a head of hair and a delicate face.

Jiang Ming didn't think about it, and scooped the woman into his arms.

The woman bit her lower lip tightly, and the soft sword stabbed Jiang Ming directly, but Jiang Ming reacted extremely quickly, and the spear blocked the soft sword.

"Smack!" Jiang Ming blocked the soft sword, but he didn't block the slap.

The two of them landed, and the woman struggled to retreat with blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Hooligans!" she snorted, and then led the group to jump down the grassy mountain.

Xu Changan wanted to chase after him, but looking at Jiang Ming, who was full of sluggishness, he also gave up.

"Wake up!" Xu Changan patted Jiang Ming's face.

"What's the matter? I can't do it when I see that people are good-looking?" Xu Changan laughed.

Jiang Ming came back to his senses and looked at his palm, wanting to scratch his head, but there seemed to be warmth on the palm. Eventually, he shook his hand angrily.

Xu Changan's voice came suddenly.

"Wow, there's Fang Jinpa!"

Then he ran to pick it up, but when he picked up Jinpa, he saw Jiang Ming hurriedly stretching out his hand and saying, "Bring it to me and take a look." ”

Xu Changan took the opportunity to hide behind him.

"What's so nice about this Jinpa, do you think about how to deal with these bandits, so that you don't have a shortage of soldiers like this?"

Jiang Ming stretched out his hand and said: "This brocade is the leader's, and it is estimated that there are very important clues." ”

Xu Changan pursed his lips and said, "Why give it to you, I also have a part in it! I will also check!"

"I'm a marshal!" Jiang Ming said through gritted teeth.

"Me too!" Xu Changan was not to be outdone.

"This is between Nanfeng and Anhe, I have the final say!"

Xu Changan cautiously glanced at Jiang Ming, who was almost crazy, and then threw Jinpa over.

On the plain Jinpa, there is only a small swallow in the lower right corner, and a "Han" character. There was a familiar fragrance on the brocade, and he thought about it and carefully placed it in his arms.

"Hey, hey, this is an important clue, why did I put it in your arms. Xu Changan shouted loudly.

The young man with the gun in white didn't speak, walked to the bandit leader who was tied up by five flowers, and kicked him.

"Let you talk a lot!"

The bandit leader who didn't say a word looked at Jiang Ming with an innocent face, with tears in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say a word.

......

Anhe.

Chen Ping looked at the two young marshals helplessly.

The two marshals left the camp without permission, and they also acted, and if they met a more serious prison army, they would definitely participate in the book.

Chen Ping wanted to scold the two of them for a few words, but the status of the two of them was higher than himself, and he couldn't scold himself, he couldn't fight, he could only throw his sleeves and sigh!

Seeing this, Xu Changan immediately said, "Uncle Chen, he took me there." ”

Jiang Ming looked at Xu Changan with wide eyes, he didn't expect Xu Changan to be so slippery.

If Xu Changan hadn't looked for him in the middle of the night, saying that he had listened to Chen Ping's analysis and felt that those "refugees" should be nearby bandits, the two marshals would not have sneaked out of the camp directly.

Xu Changan's "Uncle Chen" shouted extremely smoothly, and Chen Ping's heart was slightly wider.

Jiang Ming also lowered his head, he was not afraid of Chen Ping, nor was he asking for Chen Ping. It's just that he knows that Chen Ping is a pure person, and he has heard of this person from his stepfather, King Jin, and his father-in-law respects Chen Ping, and he also respects Chen Ping.

"Two marshals, is the battlefield like a child's play! What if someone is ambushed and beheaded? The Holy Dynasty will send someone to replace you? There are many generals in the Holy Dynasty! But you have only one life!" A grain delivery officer spat and scolded the two marshals so much that they could not raise their heads.

After scolding for a while, it seemed that he was a little tired, and Chen Ping's tone softened.

"Tell me, what did you see, don't tell me you just caught a few bandits and came back!"

"A group of people in black, with hats, are all women, and their cultivation is almost all knowledgeable. ”

When Chen Ping heard this, he stroked his beard and pondered.

"Yes, we also picked up ......"

Xu Changan wanted to say "Fang Jinpa", but was stopped by Jiang Ming with his eyes.

"What did you pick up?" Chen Ping immediately asked.

"Several...... A few bandits!" Xu Changan glanced at Jiang Ming in fear, and found that the latter turned his head to the other side.

Chen Ping didn't care, and then asked, "Are they all between eighteen and thirty?"

Xu Changan shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know, but I'm quite young." ”

"That's supposed to be the Shadow Guard!"

Hearing the three words of Shadow Guard, Jiang Ming's eyes tightened and he remembered it in his heart.

Looking at Jiang Ming and Xu Changan's puzzled eyes, Chen Ping explained: "In this world, if you have all kinds of news, you can better grasp the situation, but anyone who is a little powerful will raise some guards to inquire about the news, but the difference is that they are famous or not." ”

"For example, the Heavenly Eagle Guard formed by the Zhenban Mansion at the beginning, this is the case, they almost relied on their own strength, and many times let the Zhenban Mansion gain the upper hand when fighting against the Northern Barbarians, this is a more famous intelligence spy organization; ”

Xu Changan was stunned, he didn't expect that the white-robed general's subordinates had such a powerful team in their hands.

"This Shadow Guard is similar to the Aquila Guard, and their personal strength is not strong, but their ability to disguise and spy on intelligence is first-class, and they are all girls, so it is easier to gain the trust of others. ”

Xu Changan thought for a while and asked, "Can this Shadow Guard be more powerful than the Sky Eagle?" In his heart, although the strength of Qian Laosan and the others was not very good, Xu Changan always believed that they were the most powerful and strongest.

Looking at Xu Changan, who looked a little gloomy, Chen Ping said: "The good sons and daughters of my holy dynasty are not weaker than anyone else, but these women have done a great thing before. ”

"Since the Han family abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the light, the major princes and nobles of the previous dynasty have been assassinated by the maids or people next to the pillow. Although they only killed six or seven people, their cultivation level was no higher than Huixi!"

"He even stabbed several Grandmasters, so to speak, and those Grandmasters died indirectly at the hands of this group of Shadow Guards. ”

Xu Changan nodded solemnly and asked, "Are they all girls?"

Seeing Chen Ping's affirmation, he smiled.

"Then I'm sure I'll be fine. ”

Jiang Ming froze in place, not knowing what to think.

"By the way, Uncle Chen, how can you be sure that Liu Chenglang will let the bandits play the role of refugees to calm people's hearts?"

Chen Ping smiled mysteriously and did not speak.

......

In the past few days, there is no longer an influx of refugees in Nanfeng City, and the Han family is opening a warehouse to release grain, for Liu Chenglang, the quantity is not important, the important thing is that there are many people who see it, that's okay.

The situation in Nanfeng City is much better than before, although many people still resent the Han family, but the Han family's action of opening a warehouse and releasing grain has also won a lot of favor.

Yoo Seung-lang also slept more peacefully than before.

Chen Ping also stayed for many days and was ready to leave.

Jiang Ming and Xu Changan personally sent him out of the city, Chen Ping was about to leave, and suddenly turned to Xu Changan and said, "Don't take my son with you in the future!"

Xu Changan was stunned and looked at Chen Ping.

"Little boy, he followed you and Chai Xintong, and I was relieved. Saying that, the middle-aged man waved his sleeves, led a group of guards, and strode away.

Chen Ping didn't go back to Chang'an directly, he went around in a circle, took a few people, dressed up, found a nearby town, and rested.

He's waiting for someone, he's waiting for news.

But he went to the small broken tavern he had agreed to for several days, but no one came.

A few days later, the familiar old beggar walked to Chen Ping, who was drinking, with red eyes and a broken bowl.

He knocked three times with the broken bowl, and when Chen Ping was about to throw out some silver, the fourth sound came immediately.

Four homophonic deaths, this old beggar sent the news for so many years, and knocked the bowl four times for the first time. Chen Ping was stunned, his heart trembled, his hands trembled slightly, and the silver two fell into the broken bowl, making a crisp sound.

Then the old beggar walked out with his waist bent and his eyes flushed.

In the past few days, one person has died in Nanfeng City, but there have been no waves.

After Liu Chenglang took over Nanfeng, the original Nanfeng Taishou became a false position, although he often visited Liu Chenglang, but the latter did not give him any good eyes, but for some considerations, he was also present when making some decisions.

It was Nanfeng Taishou's staff who died, and it was rumored that this staff member died on the woman's belly.

This news is quite common, but the strange thing is that from then on, Liu Chenglang issued a strange order, and Nanfeng Taishou was not allowed to enter the meeting hall.
