Number of romantic figures

Chapter 2038 Guizi scroll mantis oriole, confusing

When dusk slowly shrouded Sandaoling, the group finally arrived.

Sandaoling is located between Chaigou Fort and Yongjia Fort. Although it is less than [-] miles away from Yongjia Fort, it is not so easy to walk the [-] miles on this mountain road, especially when the night is getting closer. , it is obviously inappropriate.

Sandaoling is not a wilderness mountain. There is also a small post station, and there is also a tea and rice shop where you can take a rest. Just look at the scale, it can accommodate 20 people at most, don't expect this big A lot of people can squeeze in.

When Feng Ziying and the others arrived, the people standing in the front had already occupied a few seats in the tea and rice shop, but they could only do so much.

However, the small post station obviously cannot accommodate so many people. It is mainly for postmen to rest and change horses. It does not provide accommodation for officials and merchants. Even providing hot water and food can only rely on the semi-public and semi-private tea and rice shop next to it. .

"This tea and rice shop is run by the postmen's family, and it can barely provide meals and hot water for 20 people, but nothing else." Wu Yaoqing casually introduced to Feng Ziying, "This posthouse can't accommodate people, it's worse than a kennel and a cattle pen. , adults and family members can only camp here."

"Let's make do with it for one night. If we go further this night, the mountain road is rugged, and the wheel of the car accidentally breaks and gets stuck on the road. Looking around.

Next to the post station is a narrow open space, just enough for the carriages to stop. More than a dozen carriages stopped in a crescent shape, and the family members got out of the carriages one after another.

Feng Ziying knew very well that the opponent was only interested in herself, and had no interest in her family members, so when surrounded by vigilant guards, these people would not act so foolishly.

It seemed that he and Wu Yaoqing were both tired and wanted to settle down early and rest early, but only Feng Ziying knew that before this, Wu Yaoqing and the others had already scouted here in advance.

This should be the most suitable location for assassination before arriving at Fort Yonga.

There are rugged and steep mountains to the north, but there is a ridge about [-] steps away from Yidao, while the south is a gentle slope of more than ten steps, followed by a rugged and dangerous valley.

This kind of terrain is very common in the Taihang Mountains, and it is all around the Datong Basin. Only this kind of valley is the most convenient way to enter the Datong Basin.

There is no difficulty in hiding ten or eight people in the mountains to the north. The verdant shrubs and miscellaneous trees may seem steep, but they are not difficult for people who are used to mountains or have some skills. The sunken lot is also full of lush vegetation, which is a good place to hide.

If you want to assassinate yourself, you should choose this place, because it is easy to hide and lurk, and it is also easy to hide and approach with the help of night. The two sides of the post road are too unfavorable for vigilance and observation.

Since he wanted to give the other party the most "perfect" chance to assassinate, Feng Ziying naturally had to use all kinds of gestures.

The guards were also set up early, and a group of guards searched along the mountains and valleys on the north and south sides, in order to understand the hidden dangers.

Of course, this is almost a mere formality. After all, the sky is already dark, so the only way this kind of search can be effective is to coax yourself.

The bonfire was lit, illuminating the entire post station brightly, and people coming and going around the carriage looked very lively.

Feng Ziying stood in the shadow of the carriage, and Wu Yaoqing seemed to be talking happily, and another woman stood aside, also interjecting.

In a ditch bush 120 paces away, two people stared at the front without moving, and one of them was slowly moving the binoculars in order to have the best visual effect.

"It seems that they are going to rest. If they don't go to the post station, they should rest in the carriage." The man holding the binoculars bowed like a bow, prostrated himself on the ditch, and said in a low voice.

"We have visited that inn twice. There is no way to live there. One or two people may be able to make do with it. There are so many of them, how can they live? You can think of it, and the surname Feng is used to being pampered. I heard that there is no daughter. No, where would you live in that dirty place?" The other person couldn't see the distance clearly, so he could only listen to his companion's introduction and replied.

"Hehe, if he really lives in that hut, it's really difficult for us to do it. It will be much easier to handle in the carriage." The man holding the binoculars said with a sinister smile: "I don't believe his carriage can hold iron. Steel frame, have you noticed that there are no rut marks, it is no different from other carriages, hum,..."

Another skinny, rat-whiskered man still trusted his companion's judgment. He had searched for many places to do it along the way, and finally chose here.

From every point of view, this is indeed the most suitable place to do it.

There are places suitable for hiding on both sides. Although there are many guards on the other side, it is impossible to search for them one by one in such places, which gives the group a chance.

As for the fact that the other party used the carriage as a barrier to live in a high place, condescending, and able to see the threats within [-] steps around him at a glance, it did seem like a good campsite.

But this time, his group didn't wait until they got close before making a move. This was a big mistake of the other party.

"The bonfires are too dense, we can't get close at all..." After a moment of hesitation, the rat-bearded man frowned: "The power of the crossbow should be within fifty steps, preferably within thirty steps." Only when you are inside can you reach the extreme,…”

The friend's worry made the man holding the binoculars nod in agreement: "Well, it would be great if there were heavy firecrackers, but it's a pity that the heavy firecrackers in the Jizhen army are too strict, and they have to be checked every day, so there is no way Steal it out, otherwise you can set up shooting here directly."

"Hmph, it's not that easy. Heavy-duty firecrackers are not good for this kind of shooting. They are only suitable for large-scale intensive shooting between the two armies. This kind of assassination is not as easy to use as a crossbow." The rat-bearded man disagreed, " Moreover, lighting a fire at night is easy to be discovered,..."

"Okay, okay, you will argue with me, not to mention those useless ones, or just use the old method, scare the snake out of the grass, divert the tiger away from the mountain, launch an attack from there, and attract the attention of his people, we will start from here " Putting down the binoculars, the man looked deeply: "If you can't succeed this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Didn't you say that there are other people who might attack Feng?" the man with the mouse beard asked suddenly.

"Can we pin our hopes on outsiders? We don't even know where those people came from." The man in front shook his head, "The young master is very afraid of this Feng, and always thinks that this guy will lead us to the White Lotus Sect." It's a big trouble. It is said that even Fengzhou is a little hesitant, and some are not willing to do it, so the young master has sent several groups of people to spy on it before, and they all feel that it is not easy to do it, and the precautions are too strict. After dragging here, we will go to Datong Town, which is the hometown of Feng, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to start, so we can only stay here."

Those who spied in front of them all found that several groups of people were staring at Feng's party, which made their side more cautious. For a while, they couldn't figure out whether it was the same purpose as their own side, or they had other intentions, so they kept going. It's time to make up your mind to do it.

"I heard that the young master and the others suffered a great loss from the surname Feng in Yongping Mansion, and were forced to leave Yongping and come to the capital, but this guy came to the capital again, biting like a tarsal maggot. We, Bai Lian, don't let go, that's why the young master got angry." The rat-whiskered man showed off his news: "I heard from Chief Zheng."

"Oh?" The man was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded: "That may be the same, no wonder everyone is secretive, so there is this reason in it."

While the two were discussing how to do it, less than twenty steps away in the valley below the two, there were still two people observing the two of them.

"It's kind of interesting. There's also a telescope. Is it similar to us?" A man with a thin body but tall shoulders is clinging to a mountain wall like a cicada, while the other is clinging to a rock pine on a cliff in a valley. , looking carefully: "It's hard to say, binoculars are becoming more and more popular in the northern army now, but these two people are sneaky, and they don't act like they are from the army."

"How can this be seen? They all have bad intentions, can they still show a grandeur?" The thin man smiled, "The reckless spirit may not be bad, if these people don't come to intervene, I'm afraid we will still be here today." We have to leave in disgrace, but there are a lot of them here, maybe we can try to fish in troubled waters."

"What are you talking about, we want to do it?" The partner was surprised, "How can this be done, the superiors didn't ask us to assassinate Feng Keng, they only asked us to watch and see if there was no chance..."

"I didn't say that I can't assassinate him, otherwise let us watch to see if we have a chance to do anything? Can we still tie him up and take him back to Nanjing as a hostage? Now that Feng Tang is attacking like a tiger in Shandong, Master Niu and Master Sun are all I can't stand it any longer. Feng Tang has only one son, and Feng Keng has no son yet. If he is killed, the Feng family will have no descendants. The scene? I'm afraid it will fall apart immediately, and Chen Jixian, a fool in the wall, may turn to us,..."

Confused by his partner's words, the man on the rock pine hesitated.

They came here this time to shoulder a mission, but they were not to assassinate Feng Ziying, but to choose the opportunity and make a decision according to the situation.

They have been lingering in Beijing for a month or two, but they still can't find a clue, and the tasks given by the superiors are also very vague. As long as they can create chaos, they can do anything to disturb the hearts of the imperial court, the army, and the people, but where to start? , but a group of people couldn't argue.

　Try to come back at twelve o'clock, and ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
