Chapter 118: The Third Team

This father is truly unwilling to be submissive.

The Yuan Nation is in a chaotic situation, and many small officials in remote areas have no ambition at all, mixing and waiting for death every day, the so-called hiding in a small building to unify, not caring about spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

This used to be his wish too, He Lingchuan sighed secretly, why did he keep getting further and further away?

He Chunhua threw down the pen, and someone stepped forward to take what he had just written. Next, it was up to the light and agile scouts to do it.

He Chunhua couldn't help but pat his eldest son's shoulder again, praising: "Chuan'er, today it was you who woke up the dreamer with one word, very good, very good!"

He Lingchuan laughed a few times, then said a few scene words, saying that I am satisfied to be able to help father.

Sigh, this is because the situation is urgent, disaster is imminent, and I can't hide my clumsiness anymore. "Look, even if the Water Spirit has a fortune, it probably corresponds to this time." He Chunhua added, "Work together to pass it, everything will be better, and your so-called disaster situation will be broken!"

He Lingchuan's smile didn't diminish: "I think so too."

Is it really that simple? What about the "dove occupies the magpie's nest," could it mean fierce bandits occupying the mountain village and impersonating villagers? He Chunhua turned to find his subordinates to discuss; time is precious now, he must race against time.

He Yue also walked over and said to his brother: "Well done."

He Lingchuan asked him: "By the way, what was the commotion by the lake earlier?"

"Nothing." He Yue let out a breath. "The chaotic battle by the lake tonight was triggered by me, and as a result, we missed a good opportunity and had to turn back to make up for it."

"So it was you kid!" He Lingchuan was strange; his father was always steady and would plan before moving, how could he rashly attack Lu Yao.

"I was too anxious!" He Yue was ashamed.

"That's like a kid." He Yue was mature for his age, and He Lingchuan always forgot he was only fourteen.

Fourteen, it is simply synonymous with frivolous, impetuous, and middle-school syndrome; he only committed it occasionally, which was already very excellent.

West side of County Magistrate Mountain.

Wu Shaoyi followed the guide with a straight face, occasionally looking back; behind him was a long dragon formed by torches.

Originally they had set up camp at the foot of the mountain, preparing to save energy to cross the mountain tomorrow, who knew that Lu Yao actually sent a guide to lead the way overnight, saying he wanted to invite them to a full fish feast, the original words were "Live fish is fresh, fried, roasted, stewed, boiled, it won't be fresh by tomorrow morning."

The key was that the guide almost shouted this sentence, and the forty or fifty people in front of and behind the tent heard it. Wu Shaoyi gathered more than a thousand remnants, the uprising failed, everyone was depressed, and Wu Shaoyi had to restrain them from looting along the way, and there was dissatisfaction in the army. Left and right persuaded General Wu not to care, what does it matter if you indulge the army's heart once or twice? For safety, Wu Shaoyi didn't agree. This time, the guide's "full fish feast" made the soldiers' eyes green; you must know that in the past ten days, they couldn't even eat miscellaneous rice, the leaders could mix some pot helmets to survive, and the lowest-level miscellaneous soldiers could only dig wild grass and gnaw mushrooms, and at least seven or eight people died because of eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake.

Seeing their drooling appearance, Wu Shaoyi knew it was best not to say "no" this time.

So, they went up the mountain overnight.

And the guide also told Wu Shaoyi that Pei Xinyong's team was also going up the mountain.

Wu Shaoyi naturally couldn't believe it lightly, but Pei Xinyong's army was on the other side of the mountain, he sent scouts to ask, and the answer was affirmative—

Long before the Holy Teacher started the uprising, Wu Shaoyi and Pei Xinyong had a friendship of robes, and even saved each other's lives, and the friendship was good. Since Pei Xinyong was also going up the mountain, this stable triangular pattern was not broken.

Thinking about it, Wu Shaoyi also waved his hand and entered the village overnight!

Thinking that there was good wine and fish on the mountain, the speed of the entire army accelerated a lot. Wu Shaoyi's advisor was also uneasy and asked the guide again: "Lu Yao asked us to go up the mountain overnight, just for a meal, no other reason?"

The guide laughed: "Look at what you said, County Magistrate Village is a village the size of a fingernail, and it's in the mountains, what other reason can there be? Could it be that there are cave ruins there?"

Wu Shaoyi thought about it, and it was the same reason, so he didn't say anything more and concentrated on walking.

In the dark mountain forest, the calls of night owls and wild wolves came one after another.

Wu Shaoyi felt more guilty as he walked. Tonight there were no stars or moon, and the mountain forest was even more invisible, only relying on torches for lighting.

Dark night and high wind, murder night, is this what it describes? If there is an ambush in such a mountain forest, I am afraid it is extremely difficult to deal with.

At this moment, a group of night birds suddenly flew up from behind, and among them, crows were screaming, making people's scalps tight.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads, unexpectedly an arrow shot out from the dark forest ahead, "clack" nailed to the birch trunk two feet away from Wu Shaoyi! The personal guard rushed forward, surrounded Wu Shaoyi in the middle, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

The army drew weapons and waited in full battle array.

Wu Shaoyi waved his hand: "Take the arrow down."

Under the illumination of the torch, he could see a red silk tied to the arrow tail.

Flying arrow message.

In the middle of the night, who would squat in the mountain forest? Who knew that Wu Shaoyi's army was going up the mountain here?

For a long time, the mountain forest remained quiet, and no other enemies or dark arrows flew out. Wu Shaoyi sent his men into the forest to explore, and soon returned empty-handed.

Wu was not surprised by this result, just called the personal guard to spread the red silk and use the torch to illuminate it for him to see.

Not looking, he didn't know; there were only three lines on the red silk, and every word made his heart jump:

Lu Yao has surrendered, leading government troops to ambush in County Magistrate Village, and another seven hundred are ambushed under Suozi Rock.

The night was deep and the dew was heavy, and Wu Shaoyi felt that every breath he inhaled into his lungs was cold.

Lu Yao surrendered to the royal court?

The advisor leaned over and saw these three lines of small characters, shocked and looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Wu Shaoyi asked him in a low voice: "Is it possible? He has a bad reputation, and the court army clearly hates him to the bone."

The advisor quickly calmed down, knowing that the boss needed his professional judgment at a critical moment. He thought for a while and said cautiously: "If he turns against us, the royal court will also be happy to see it, perhaps even promising him official titles and wealth. You also know that Lu Yao didn't intend to be a bandit again, and the two sides might hit it off."

"I have always heard that he still wants to lead troops to rise again."

"That also requires recuperation." The advisor analyzed, "Being a lackey for the royal court is better than being a lost... better than wandering the world and avoiding the government."

He almost said lost dog, but thought it was wrong, General Wu was also in this situation right now.

Wu Shaoyi naturally understood and looked unhappy. So the advisor quickly said: "Verification is not difficult."

He pointed to the small characters on the red silk: "Send someone to Suozi Rock first, and it can be verified."
