Chapter 284 Jiannan <Nine>

On the way to Sanba, in the woods with wild trees on Yu'er Mountain, there was a team of twenty-rugged mountain roads all the way south. Although this small team was wearing folk clothes, their overall temperament was not like ordinary people, especially the woman among them. Although she was wearing a thorn-haired cloth skirt, this simple dress could not hide her unparalleled national color at all. The young man walking in front of him, his tall figure wrapped in simple clothes, revealed the strong elegance that should never appear on the peasant man.

The sunlight on Yuer Mountain shines bright spots through the trees. The forest is quiet and the birds chirping. It is a beautiful picture of autumn tours. However, under the cliff of Yuer Mountain in the distance, there are waves of fighting sounds that seem to be there. Because it is far away, the fighting sounds are very blurred and hazy. Sometimes there are mountain birds singing, which covers the already vague sounds of fighting sounds in the distance.

In the mountain wind, Tang Li stopped and quietly without any movement or words. Then, the entire team stopped with his movements.

Liu Wufeng, who was originally walking in the front of the team, walked quietly to Tang Li and whispered in a sad voice: "Sir, let's go! You can't save the brothers around Yuehutai. This is not your fault. Don't blame yourself so much! Besides, you should die for the court when you are a soldier. As long as you can ensure that the Empress Dowager and the Lord are safe, the brothers will be considered dead."

"More than 10,000 lives, I lied to them!" Tang Li's voice was as light as a murmur, and it was blown away by the mountain wind before it even left. Even though he stood close, Liu Wufeng didn't hear it. He just saw Tang Li's lips opening and closing, "What are you saying?"

He wanted to look back on his origin, but Tang Li stopped halfway through his head. After a moment of silence, he said in his usual calm tone along the way: "Let's go! Captain Liu, where are we going?"

For some reason, Liu Wufeng not only did not feel relieved when he listened to Tang Li's calm voice, but his heart felt even more depressed. It seemed that Tang Li in front of him had become a beach full of undercurrents, and the calm surface contained terrifying power. What is even more difficult to grasp is that you will never know when this violent force will explode.

It was this feeling in my heart that made Liu Wufeng more careful when answering, "If there is no 'passing place', we can't pass the inspection of the gates and territories of the states and counties, and we can't go there. It's too risky to go down the mountain rashly. According to the plan of the Mo General, he was going to Yuer Mountain directly. If it was fast, he would be able to reach Jiahe Town, 160 miles south tomorrow afternoon. It is the hometown of the Mo General. Although it is a little remote, there are few people coming and going on weekdays. In addition, there is an old Zhuangzi who worships ancestors there. It is obvious that the Zhuang people took care of Mo General's blessings since childhood. People are reliable."

"Person Liu, I won't talk about the achievements of protecting the emperor this time. If it weren't for you, I would think I would die." He raised his hand to stop Liu Wufeng who was about to interrupt. Tang Li looked at him and said word by word: "I can't thank you for saving my life, but I still want to say that if I can escape from the disaster this time, I will repay you ten times today's kindness in the future! This oath can be proved by God."

"Eating food in the army is the last job. Your grandfather's words are really a matter of a young general." He bowed and bowed to thank the queen. Liu Wufeng looked at Tang Li and said, "Sir, let's go!"

With the monotonous sound, the team began to move forward again. As for Tang Li, he disappeared into the deep woods from afar. He never looked back.

She rushed all the way, and when she entered the Liu family's Laozhuang the next night while the night was dark, Yang Fei was already in a state of beauty. She settled down and climbed onto the simple couch without even washing up. She fell asleep.

Concubine Yang received the most care along the way, and she was like this. Others can imagine that although her body had reached its limit, Tang Li was not sleepy at all. He didn't sleep much for three consecutive nights. In two days, he rushed to more than a hundred miles of rugged mountain road like others. His eyes had already turned red, but the flashing light in his eyes showed his current mental excitement.

As soon as his slightly swollen feet and calves were stretched into the wooden basin filled with boiling water, the intense feeling of pain, sourness and numbness suddenly made Tang Li unable to help but take a long breath and resist discomfort. Tang Li pressed his legs and feet into the wooden basin with both hands. After a while, it aroused a hot sweat. After he let out another breath, he said to Liu Wufeng, who was sitting on the side: "It is important to go out to investigate the news, but since Xian Yu Zhongtong dared to do such a thing, he must have concealed it. If we have to find out the truth, we are afraid that our hands are not able to catch the strength. Besides, we are just a temporary measure after all, and the most urgent thing is to ensure safety first. There is a letter here. You can find someone to bring this letter to the deputy governor Tian Chengsi as soon as possible. The sooner the better. This matter is very important. The person who sends the message must be reliable."

Seeing Liu Wufeng nodding in agreement, Tang Lixu said again: "In addition, someone needs to go to the imperial capital..." At this point, Tang Li paused and pondered for a while before saying: "Forget it, let's do this later. Wufeng, you should do this first."

"Wait!", he called Liu Wufeng, who had already walked to the door after putting away the letter, and Tang Liyin said again: "Wufeng, please help me find a place to pass by. It is a man in his twenties. His appearance is the best to look similar to Tang Jiu. I have urgent use."

The "pass" in the Tang Dynasty was similar to the "road guide" and ID card of later generations, indicating the holder's homeland, age and career. Whenever a Tang Dynasty travels, he must carry this item for inspection in the prefectures and county gates along the way. If he has not passed the house, he will be regarded as a refugee and detained by the city gate.

Liu Wufeng's ability to do things is really strong. Even at night, he only took half an hour to do the matter and got Lu Yin. Tang Li immediately called Tang Jiu over.

After taking the road guide handed over by Tang Li, Tang Jiu immediately understood: "Young Master asked me to find the Fourth Deposit?"

Tang Li nodded, and untied the jade pendant tied around his waist and handed it to Tang Jiu. "You know the layout of the hidden threads, and I don't need to hide it from you. Apart from the two rivers, just count the strongest hidden threads of Jiannan Road. After you find the nearest four warehouse, you hand over the jade pendant to the big shopkeeper inside, tell them if the fourth shopkeeper of the general store is in Jiannan, let her come to see me. If the fourth shopkeeper of the fourth shopkeeper is not here, let the person in charge of this road come."

"Yes!" After agreeing, Tang Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master, we are in a dangerous place now. We must be cautious, if the shopkeeper is unreliable..."

"After the shopkeeper inspected this jade pendant, he only knew that you were the one sent by the shopkeeper. Don't worry, in addition to the king of heaven, Si Niang and a few secret lines started from the beginning.

The old man sent out, the following people didn't know that the shopkeeper was not there, and if he could serve as the manager of Jiannan Road, the person must be trusted by the Heavenly King and Si Niang. Although I may not believe him, I can trust the Heavenly King and Si Niang." I was worried that Tang Jiu was too cautious in his work and was afraid, Tang Li said a few more words about this matter. After the explanation, he lowered his voice and asked: "How did you live with the people who came out with Liu this time?"

"There are limited rooms in this place. Everyone has been tired these two days and is not enough to pay attention to it. They are all living together. The young master means..."

"It's best to stay together. Before leaving tomorrow morning, please tell the other guards a few words to let them pay more attention." Tang Li gently rubbed his legs and feet in the wooden basin and said with his sore eyes slightly: "Without Liu Wufeng and these people, we will all die this time. If I shouldn't have this. But after all, there are many people. If there is one that is unreliable, the consequences... I just regret that I didn't listen to the reminder of the Heavenly King before leaving Beijing. This is just to be careful, so let the guards in our mansion be careful, but don't take any traces."

"I've written it down." After everything was explained, Tang Jiu left without leaving. Looking at Tang Li, who was covered in grayish-colored face, he whispered: "Young Master. After the matter has been explained, it's time for you to take a break. The more difficult it is, you must not have any problems in your body."

"I understand. Go! Be careful on the road tomorrow." He agreed, but Tang Li, who opened his eyes again, was not sleepy at all. He stared at the swaying oil lamp and fell into deep thought again.

The two things he was too anxious to send a letter to Tian Chengsi and search for the Four Currency Stores, but it was much faster to inquire about the news. The next afternoon, just after hearing the news that Uncle Fu asked from the county town, Liu Wufeng immediately came to Tang Li's room.

Although it is a farm for worshipping ancestors, the lighting of the countryside is not good. In addition, it has been a ancestral property for many years. Although it was still in the afternoon, the room was already very dark.

Seeing Liu Wufeng coming in, Tang Li, who was sitting on the couch, sat upright and said, "Wufeng, you are here, what news is there?"

The light in the room was dim, and Liu Wufeng could not see the subtle expression on Tang Li's face. However, since he saw him talking with a smile, Liu Wufeng felt relieved. He did not speak extravagantly and directly told the news that Uncle Fu had heard from the county town.

It turned out that on the day when Yang Fei's car was attacked, there were about 40,000 to 50,000 Tubo troops along the line of Xiongwu Town. Although the steep Yuer Mountain blocked, there were no fire from Jiahe Town, but the people on both sides of Yuer Mountain said that the attack was fierce, not only the Yuehutai, but the entire front line, including the Yuehutai, nearly a hundred miles away. Some people even swear that the governor of this road, Lord Xian Yu Zhongtong, was trapped in the Qijiapo by the Tubo soldiers. Now the Tang army, which was originally distributed in the western front of Jiannan, was rushing to Yuehutai at night. However, because of the many terrain of Jiannan, there were many forests and the blocking of the Tubo army, it seriously affected the speed of reinforcements.

"Is there any specific news about Yuehutai?" Although I tried to calm the question, Liu Wufeng still heard a tremolo from Tang Li's voice.

Starting slightly, Liu Wufeng avoided Tang Li's eyes, "I heard that there were still shouts of killing there, but I don't know the specific situation. I am throwing the body of the Empress Dowager and the Lord's substitute in the bankrupt stream behind the Yuehu Platform. Since there is no news of the death of the Empress Dowager and the Lord, it must be that the Tubo people have not found the body of the substitute."

Tang Li has never asked about his substitute these days. On the one hand, it is because of his trust in Liu Wufeng's ability to do things, and more importantly, his heart is in trouble. This time, he was no exception. After listening to Liu Wufeng's words, Tang Li changed the topic after a long time of silence and said: "Xian Yu Zhongtong is also surrounded? Wufeng, what do you think about this matter?"

Obviously, Liu Wufeng had thought about this matter for a long time, so he answered it straightforwardly and neatly after seeing the question, "I will not doubt this news at all."

Tang Li was not surprised by Liu Wufeng's question and answer, "Oh! In this way, we were wronged Lord Xianyu?"

"That's not the case," Liu Wufeng smiled coldly, "Sir, I have never been to the Xiajia Slope. In terms of the terrain, Xiajia Slope is far inferior to Xiongwu Town. The two are close to each other. Now, Xiongwu Town, which is known as "not breaking through Jianzhai", has been lost. Xiajia Slope, which is not far away, is safe and sound. This is really hard to understand. Could it be that the Tubo people are stupid?"

"It makes sense! You continue"

"It is precisely because the terrain of the Qijiapopo is not as good as that of Xiongwu Town, so there have been many garrisons in history. Xianyu Zhongtong had already brought three thousand guards this time, and all of these three thousand were elite. In addition, there were 15,000 defenders in the Qijiapopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopo

Tang Li didn't agree with what Liu Wufeng said, and just smiled slightly and said, "'villain'!'villain', if it weren't for you, this time, we would have died on the Yuehu Platform. As for Xian Yu Zhongtong, to me, it doesn't matter whether he is a real gentleman or a hypocrite."

At this moment, when the gate of the side courtyard outside sounded, an old man over 60 years old walked in quickly, bent down to Tang Li and said to Liu Wufeng: "Young Master, the county yamen runners just came to send a message, saying that Liu Wuya was coming to worship his ancestors early in the morning and asked the village to prepare early. Master, please look at this matter..."

As soon as he heard Liu Wuya's name, Liu Wufeng, who was calm in the past, couldn't help but look angry, "A despicable lowly person, who had just been to the capital of Yang Xiang's door for a few days, actually went to the ancestral tablet to pretend to be powerful! He returned the yamen runners to pass the order! I didn't give him this face, closed the village door tightly, he wanted to worship his ancestors and kowtow outside."

"Yang Xiang? That Yang Xiang?" Tang Li got out of bed and walked over as he asked.

"It's Yang Xianggong, the chief minister of the dynasty. This is the last general's family scandal, so that the adults can laugh..." Liu Wufeng, who was talking, saw Tang Li's face clearly coming forward. After being stunned, he exclaimed in surprise: "Sir, you..."

After not seeing each other overnight, Tang Li's face became much haggard and his eyes were covered with blood. The most eye-catching thing was that his slightly messy temples were already shockingly stained with frost...
