Chapter 474(1/3)
Qingluan was dressed in dishevel and stumbled out of the city lord's mansion.
Although Li Changzheng was brutal, he kept his promise and let her go.
She staggered, and every time she took a step, she endured unbearable pain, like a walking corpse. If she had a little fantasy about Zhao Langjiang before, she had completely cut off this idea after today. At this moment, she had only one purpose in her heart, that is, to inform Zhao Langjiang, tell him about the incidents in Guifan Tower, and Li Changzheng's plan.
This is why she would rather be humiliated than come out alive.
"Miss Qingluan!"
Qingluan turned around and saw Chai Gongwang following out of the city lord's mansion. She looked at him with some disgust. This man was like a fence-bearing man. As soon as Li Changzheng took power, Chai Gongwang changed his ward and joined him, becoming Li Changzheng's lackey.
"traitor!"
Qingluan spat at him and said coldly.
Mr. Chai was stunned when he heard this, but did not defend himself. He took out a piece of ingot from his arms, which was as much as ten taels. "You can take this little money first and find a place to live."
Qingluan said, "I don't care about your stinky money!"
Chai Gongwang sighed, "I have my own difficulties, too."
"What does your hardship have to do with me? I am not interested. I hope that in the future, Lord Zhao will return to the city and slash your head with one knife!"
Mr. Chai was stunned and said after a long time, "Now the city is in a panic. If you have any trouble, you can go to the grocery store in the east of the city to find Manager Xu. Maybe he can help."
The shopkeeper Xu Yang of the grocery store was the leader of the spy network left by Yuwen Tianlu in the city. Later, he followed Zhao Langjiang, one of the few people Zhao Langjiang trusted the most. If he could find him, he might be able to pass the news to Zhao Langjiang.
Seeing that she hated her to the core, Chai Gong put the Yuanbao in front of Qingluan and turned around and left.
Qingluan stared at Yuanbao. The most important thing now is to survive. Without money, it is hard to move forward here.
She bent down and was about to pick up the ingots.
Suddenly, a figure flashed, and someone was one step faster than her and grabbed Yuanbao in his hand. The man was covered in a hazy face, looking dumb and looked like he was a rascal rogue in the city. He put Yuanbao in his mouth and took it with a happy face, "It's true."
Qingluan said, "This money is mine."
The thug said, "It's obviously on the ground, whoever picks it up first will belong to whom, why should it be yours?"
Qingluan said again, "It was given to me by someone else."
The rascal laughed, "You said it was yours, did you write your name on it?"
Qingluan was angry and reached out to snatch it, but was kicked to the ground by a thug. Her head was stepped on by her feet, rubbing it on the ground a few times, and blood flowed out along the corner of her mouth.
She was humiliated by Li Changzheng today, and now she was humiliated by another thug.
If it were before, Qingluan would have killed the rascal with one sword.
But now she can do nothing.
Li Lingcai trained her. In the prison, he had already used the powder of scattered medicine to disperse her internal strength and ruined her with his own hands. After the ruffian was beaten up, he lost his patience. Because he was in front of the city lord's mansion, he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he left the long street cursed.
Qingluan was covered in blood and had messy hair, so she came to the grocery store in the east of Chengdong.
Slap, stepped forward and smashed the door three times.
I just felt dizzy and unconscious.
When she woke up, she found herself lying on a bed, changing into clean clothes. Manager Xu sat next to her and said, "Miss Qingluan is awake?"
“Where am I?”
"You fainted at the door of the grocery store. I asked someone to carry you into the house. I also asked the Wenpo to help you deal with the wound. You are too serious, don't move around for now."
Stable woman?
Qingluan's face turned red. It was obvious that Manager Xu knew what was happening to her. She felt ashamed. Manager Xu tactfully avoided the topic.
Qingluan said, "Li Changzheng..."
Manager Xu said, "You should rest with peace of mind first, don't worry about other matters for the time being."
"Lord Zhao is outside!"
Manager Xu said, "I know, and it won't take long to retake Yinyang City."
A severe pain came from Qingluan's lower abdomen, and beads of sweat flowed down from her forehead. "I'll find a way to tell him not to enter the city, don't... enter the city, don't enter the city!" She said three times in a row.
“Why?”
Qingluan said, "There is a secret to the Yinyang Formation. There is a mysterious force under this city, which is controlled by Li Changzheng. If Lord Zhao enters the city, he may fall into Li Changzheng's trap!"
After saying that, she breathed a sigh of relief.
A burst of fatigue came, and Qingluan fell into a coma again.
...
Under the pressure of the city lord's mansion, Huang Rulang increased the clearance of the rebels. However, for several days, the scouts sent out did not return one or two, making him furious.
There were less than 200 people on the other side, but he was still powerless, which left him with the impression that he was not doing anything well in Li Changzheng's eyes.
Finally, Li Changzheng simply ordered that if he could not take down the rebel army within three days, he would come to see him. Huang Rulang was at a loss when he was at a loss. The scouts in front came to report and found the rebel camp. Huang Rulang was overjoyed when he heard this, mobilized two thousand soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Sifeng Mountain.
Sifeng Mountain is located in the deep mountains and old forests. It has been fighting with the government for many years. The hidden places are also very secretive. If you don’t have an acquaintance guide, you will easily lose your way. Fortunately, every time they walk, they use vermilion lacquer to leave marks in the woods. Even if they cannot attack Sifeng Mountain, they can still return the same way.
When he arrived at the so-called camp, Huang Rulang was completely disappointed.
There were only twenty traces of fire from the stove, and the resistance army had long disappeared. He touched the dust on the ground with his hands, and there was still some remaining warmth. He made a quick decision and followed the broken branches.
Huang Rulang's deployment is mostly a sè people. Although he is fierce in fighting immediately, he lacks experience in dealing with jungle combat. Fortunately, Huang Rulang has experienced many battles and ordered the team to maintain its formation. Once attacked, he can quickly fall into the defensive position and organize counterattacks. Whenever he encounters a place where it is easy to ambush, such as valleys and forests, he will first release scouts, confirm safety, and then march. Moreover, the routes are often along streams and tree-lined paths, and do not give the other party a chance to attack.
"There is movement!"
Everyone looked at it and saw that the bushes were shaking violently from it not far away.
Huang Rulang made a quick decision and "Shot the arrow!"
A row of arrows shot out, and there was no movement or stillness.
Everyone came forward to investigate and cheered.
Two brown bears were shot into hedgehogs by the Wolf Cavalry's arrows.
Huang Rulang said, "Why are you shouting? We are here to suppress bandits, not to hunt."
Even so, everyone came forward and cut the two brown bears with machetes. It happened to be noon and it was lunch to fill the belly.
After a day, nothing was found.
The sky is about to be black, and the yellow is ready to return to the White Horse Post.
They returned along the original mark. After walking around for nearly an hour, they still didn't see the end. When they found that the vermilion on the tree was touched by someone, they were already lost in the forest.
Huang Rulang ordered: "Carry camp along the stream, and there are five teams outside the camp to patrol, and scouts sent everywhere to inquire. Whenever there is any movement, immediately warn!"
Strengthen vigilance to prevent the opponent from attacking. Along the stream, if the opponent attacks, you can quickly draw water to extinguish the fire.
In terms of marching dispatch, Huang Rulang is also a veteran.
Fortunately, before setting off, the Wolf Cavalry brought food for three days, and as long as they found the rebels within three days, they still had a chance.
While everyone was preparing to make a fire and cook, they suddenly heard a young man shouting, "Weasel!"
Everyone looked at it. A hundred steps away, a young general, holding a long sword, was inserted into a big flag on his war horse, and the word "Zhao" was written on it.
When Huang Rulang came to the camp, he recognized that the person was Li Bufan, the captain of the city gate.
Li Bufan was alone and called out in front of the camp: "Weasel, do you dare to come out to fight with Li?"
When Huang Rulang saw him alone, he looked around with suspicion and signaled to the scout to investigate the news. After a long time of return, there was no ambush.
Li Bufan said again, "Yellow is like a wolf, is it difficult to understand to hide inside as a turtle?"
The more this happens, the more suspicious Huang Rulang becomes. He ordered
He said, "Shoot the arrow!"
A row of arrows shot out and landed at the place where Li Bufan landed.
They have an advantage in shooting archery in the plains, but there are mostly huge rocks and forests here. There are not many that actually fall in front of Li Bufan.
Huang Rulang did not respond to the challenge, but Li Bufan cursed him even more happily, which made Huang Rulang very angry.
He looked down on this newly rising city gate official, thinking that this kid was just lucky and good at flattering Zhao Langjiang, so he had his current status. He was the commander of the Wolf Cavalry Army. When he saw him, he would not even be birds, but now he rode over his head and cursed.
"The courage of the Wolf Cavalry is getting smaller and smaller." Li Bufan said, "I am only one person, and I will scare you like a turtle. If it is spread in the future, I wonder what Li Changzheng will think!"
Huang Rulang was furious, and turned over to the horse, holding a mace in his hand, and pointed to Li Bufan, "Come on your life!"
After saying that, he squeezed the horse's belly and the war horse suffered, and accelerated to rush towards Li Bufan.
Li Bufan was not afraid of war, and whipped the horse, and rode his horse and rushed towards Huang Rulang.
The two passed by.
Bang!
The mace hits the long knife.
Li Bufan's internal strength was worse than Huang Rulang, and the speed of the war horse was not as fast as the opponent. After a secret loss in this battle, he almost fell from the war horse. He turned over with a kite, returned to the horse's back, and turned around and ran away. Huang Rulang was afraid of fraud, so he did not order a pursuit.
"Continue to send scouts to investigate the whereabouts of the rebels!"
