Chapter 78 Narrow mountain road, sucking in the air

"Zeng Jiu, I have something to ask you about." Li Zaigu looked at Zeng Jiu and said again.

"Master Jun, please ask." Zeng Jiu said respectfully.

"Do you know him?" Li Zaigu said, pointing to the tea shop owner.

Zeng Jiu looked at the tea shop owner again.

The tea shop owner's face changed.

"I seem to have seen it." Zeng Jiu said thoughtfully.

"He is a spy from Huju Village." Li Zaigu said slowly, "Like you, you are now working for me. It is him who will take me into Jianshan and meet you three."

Zeng Jiu nodded.

The tea shop owner looked embarrassed.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Li Zaigu suddenly stared at the tea shop owner and said with a calm face.

The tea shop owner showed a puzzled look: "Why did Jun Ye say that?"

"Pretending to be confused again?" Li Zaigu looked disdainful, "I'll ask you, why did you not tell me the general even though you knew there were bandits pretending to be hunters and wanted to take me into a mountain road with a trap and ambush?"

"The little one didn't know that these three were pretending to be bandits." The tea shop owner argued, "The little one hasn't been up the mountain for a long time, nor do they know that there are traps and ambush on the road leading to the back mountain."

"Since you don't want to cooperate, it's useless to keep it!" Li Zaigu said, winking at He Wen.

He Wen took a step forward and pulled out the horizontal knife.

"Give me your life!"

The tea shop owner knelt on the ground with a plop.

"The young one shouldn't deceive Jun Ye, the young one shouldn't betray Jun Ye. I'm asking Jun Ye to spare his life, but the young one will never dare to do it again."

The bearded county magistrate and others felt inexplicably, looked at the tea shop owner in confusion, and then looked at Li Zaigu in confusion.

"Continue to talk!" Li Zaigu glanced at the tea shop owner with a expressionless face.

"The little one... shouldn't have been lucky. When you see your own people, you think you have a chance to get rid of all the soldiers." The tea shop owner said tremblingly, "The little one swears, along the way, the little one has not betrayed all the soldiers."

"No need to be unfaithful once, a hundred times!" Li Zaigu said coldly.

"Mr. Jun, please spare me, please..." The tea shop owner was like a dog, lying on the ground, kowtowing constantly.

"In view of the fact that you took me and wait for a smooth escape from the secret whistle along the way and arrived here safely, I will spare your life."

Li Zai's ancient saying is as cold as ice.

"The death penalty is avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped!"

After saying this, Li Zaigu glanced at He Wen and Letai: "Tie this person in the mountains and forests, whether to die or live, look at his luck!"

He Wen and Lotte bowed and said, "As for the order", then dragged the tea shop owner into the forest.

Seeing this, Zeng Jiu couldn't help but shiver and sweated coldly on his forehead.

The bearded county magistrate and others admired Li Zaigu more.

Whether it is his extraordinary observation or his methods, it is eye-catching.

Half a moment later, He Wen and Lotai came back.

"Report to the general, it's done." He Wen bowed.

"Yes." Li Zaigu nodded.

"Everyone obeys the order, and now the plan has changed. This general makes the following arrangements."

Li Zaigu glanced at everyone with a serious expression.

"First of all, the county corps officers and soldiers must be divided into two groups. One is ambushed at the intersection in front of the road. If a bandit comes down, they will be intercepted immediately; the other party, follow the general to continue up the mountain."

"As for your order!" everyone bowed and replied.

"The county lieutenant, you will lead thirty people to set up an ambush at the intersection ahead." Li Zaigu said to the county lieutenant of the big beard.

The bearded county magistrate did not immediately accept the order, but asked cautiously: "The general only brings ten people?"

"Enough." Li Zaigu said unconsciously, "It would be inconvenient if there are too many people."

"As for orders!" The bearded county magistrate bowed.

As the hour of You approached, Li Zaigu and others left the horse and then began to set off.

Zeng Jiu told Li Zaigu that Huju Village usually starts dinner at the You hour and changes defense.

When choosing this time, the chance of being able to get into Huju Village is relatively high.

The county magistrate found someone to take the horses into the forest, hide and tie them up, so as not to be discovered by bandits patrolling the mountain.

Under Zeng Jiu's leadership, Li Zaigu and others came to the narrow mountain road on the right.

This mountain road is so narrow that it can only accommodate one person.

Li Zaigu ordered Xiao Yu and Zhang Zheng to walk in front to make a way. Zeng Jiu walked behind Zhang Zheng, Li Zaigu followed Zeng Jiu immediately, and the others were behind one after another.

Li Zaigu's arrangement was to prevent Zeng Jiu from surrendering. If he did not really surrender, he would do small moves like the tea shop owner.

Li Zaigu and his group all moved forward carefully against the stone wall.

Walking in this cold and narrow mountain road makes people feel alert all the time, and their whole heart is suffocated.

As the sun sets westward, the fog begins to increase.

Looking at the bottomless cliff blocked by fog, it makes people breathe a breath of air conditioning.

Some timid soldiers trembled with their shoulders and were out of control.

If the soldiers in front of him hadn't held his hand and walked, he would probably not have been able to continue walking.

Almost half an hour later, Li Zaigu couldn't help asking Zeng Jiu: "How long will it take?"

Li Zaigu had already noticed that several soldiers were breathing faster and faster, and it was obvious that they were almost unable to bear the psychological pressure.

He regretted it a little, and it would have been fine if he had known that he would not have brought these soldiers together.

"It takes less than half an hour to finish." Zeng Jiu replied to Li Zaigu.

Li Zaigu said "hmm" and then encouraged the soldiers behind him: "You can hold on for a while and you will be able to walk the narrow path soon. When you capture Huju Village, the court will definitely pay attention to the merits."

Hearing Li Zaigu say this, the soldiers who wanted to give up took a deep breath, gritted their teeth, and insisted on walking.

Although the road was not chosen by myself, I had to walk on my knees and even if I stepped on it, I would have to finish it even if I was kneeling!

Everyone walked about two miles behind the stone wall.

The narrow path gradually became much wider, allowing two people to walk side by side, and no longer had to walk carefully against the stone wall.

Suddenly, the front suddenly became clear and the mountain road became bigger and bigger.

By the way, they had left the path on the cliff.

The road ahead is so spacious that it can accommodate a carriage.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Zeng Jiu shouted.

Everyone stopped immediately.

"There is a trap about five steps ahead, so be careful when walking." Zeng Jiu said with a serious expression.

No one expected that the trap would be set up in an open land, not on the trail.

"The trap in front is three feet deep, and there are many sharp spears and blades inserted into the trap. If a person falls down, few people can survive!" Zeng Jiu added.

After hearing this, many soldiers changed their faces and felt scared.

If someone hadn't led the way, I'm afraid someone would have fallen into the trap at this time.

Li Zaigu's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt a little impressed by the person who set up this trap.

Few people can imagine that the trap is not set on the trail, but on the open and flat avenue, which is unpredictable.

Normal people will be vigilant on the trail to prevent traps or ambushing. However, those who set this trap will find another way and choose to set traps in places that no one will think of.

When people walk out of the path smoothly, they will naturally prevent loosening. But what they think is safe is the most dangerous place.
