Happy Little Scholar

"The King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth!"

Just when several people were horrified, a cold voice suddenly came from the forest.

On the mountain road, the leader was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he immediately said: "I know, I know, the pagoda suppresses the river monster! It's the pagoda suppresses the river monster, one of us, one of us!"

"Meha meha?"

"Sawadee Ka!"

"Why are you blushing?" The voice in the forest softened and asked another question.

The man immediately said, "Refreshed!"

"Why is it yellow again?"

"Wax to prevent cold!"

...

After a conversation, a voice came from the forest, "Keep going forward, someone will pick you up ahead."

This is considered a code, and the few people were relieved. They thought that these bald heads were really particular. Before entering the village, they had to code so many codes, and it sounded more powerful, like the jargon of bandits...

Unlike their own prince, who learned everything from others and insisted on changing the code to "The King of Shu is not a pond, he will turn into a dragon when he encounters wind and clouds", and they were embarrassed to mention it to others outside.

In comparison, although the code of these bald heads was a bit complicated and obscure, and quite difficult to remember, it was much more respectable than His Highness the King of Shu...

"Thank you, brother!"

One of them bowed to the forest, and the few people quickly disappeared on the mountain road.

Not long after, another figure slowly went up the mountain road.

When he walked under a tree, he stopped, looked into the woods, and his lips moved slightly.

"Ding, ding!"

He made two sounds, one long and two short.

Codes like "天王cover地虎" that have been eliminated by them are used to distinguish between enemies and friends. Their internal codes have been upgraded and changed every half a month. If an enemy wants to pretend to be their comrade, he will die miserably...

"Ding, ding!"

He didn't stand there for long. Soon, the same response came from the forest. Another young man with a bow and arrow came out of the forest, looked at him, and nodded: "I'm back."

"I'm back." The man also nodded, took out something from his sleeve and handed it over, saying: "This is the attack plan and route map. Remember to let them take it when they leave."

"Take me to say hello to the prince and the leader."

"What's the hurry? It's just a few days. Ask yourself then..."

"Let's go..."

"See you later!"

After a brief exchange, the young man with a bow and arrow hid in the forest again, and the figure of the other person slowly disappeared on the mountain road.

On the top of the mountain, several people stood on the bluestone-paved street, looking at the town ahead, dumbfounded, and some could not move...

The neat streets, the rows of shops, and the neat rows of wooden houses, looked almost identical from the outside. Even outside the chaotic land, it was difficult to see such a scene in the big cities of Jingguo.

Compared with the territory of these bald men, what they lived in was at most a doghouse...

...

This was Li Yi's first New Year in Shuzhou.

Although far away from Kyoto, the New Year atmosphere was more intense, perhaps because there were fewer social events, only a simple family, just like the pure New Year when he first came here.

The only difference was that the people of Shuzhou were too enthusiastic.

In just a few days, the Jingwang Mansion received several rooms of gifts. Although they were not valuable, they also represented the people's thoughts.

For all the people who came to the mansion to give gifts, Li Yi also asked the doorman to prepare red envelopes, which was considered a gift.

Shuzhou has now begun to develop rapidly. The people will live better and better, and their pockets will naturally become fatter and fatter. Although there is still a big gap from what he expected, some things cannot be achieved overnight. It is almost impossible for a state to catch up with Kyoto without ten or twenty years of development.

Next, just wait patiently.

Lao Fang walked in from outside with an envelope in his hand. After Li Yi opened it, he looked at it and said, "So, they have another hidden man in Yong County who is capable of quietly opening the West Gate on the night of the eleventh day of the first lunar month?"

"That's what they said, but they didn't say who it was." Lao Fang nodded and said, "I have asked Lao Chen to check it. It's very simple. Whoever was responsible for guarding the West Gate that day was the one."

Soon, someone came to the governor's mansion.

Li Yi looked at the things sent by Chen Chong. The captain who was responsible for guarding the West Gate on weekdays was hit by a club when he went home after drinking last night and was injured. His duties were temporarily replaced by a team of his subordinates.

Li Yi put down the paper and whispered, "Captain..."

"Son-in-law, I suddenly have an idea." Lao Fang thought about it and suddenly said.

Li Yi looked back at him: "What idea?"

"I think it's too troublesome for the ambushers to shoot cold arrows, pour boiling oil, and throw stones on the city wall... "He looked at Li Yi, thought for a moment, and asked, "Son-in-law, what do you think of throwing the Heavenly Punishment directly?"

Li Yi was stunned, "This... is a bit too much, right?"

"Not too much!" Lao Fang patted his thigh and said, "I think this method is very good, simple and direct, throw a few Heavenly Punishments, the people will think it's New Year's fireworks, before dawn, let the city defense army go over to clean up the ground..."

Don't be too old-fashioned, leave a way out when doing things, so that you can meet again in the future.

Throwing a few Heavenly Punishments down, it's not the King of Shu or the Holy Religion bandits that are bombed, it's all productivity.

Shuzhou is now about to enter a stage of stable development. After things here have settled down and the King of Shu and Fang Youshi have been wiped out, they will officially start marching into the land of chaos.

That's when the manpower is most scarce.

So these people cannot explode.

"Let's prepare archers..." Li Yi thought for a while and said.

Lao Fang looked at him and asked, "What if they resist fiercely and would rather die than surrender?"

Li Yi thought for a moment and added: "Be prepared for heavenly punishment, just in case..."

…

Throughout the year, even the normally deserted Yongxian County becomes lively.

This kind of excitement reached a climax during the New Year's Day, and then gradually declined. It was not until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year that there were signs of recovery. All the people in the city had to prepare for the upcoming Lantern Festival.

Today is the eleventh day of the first lunar month.

The streets in the city are not too crowded. A few months ago, Shuzhou canceled the curfew. However, due to the mixed flow of people during the New Year's Day, it is difficult to maintain public order. In the days before the Lantern Festival and after Haishi, no one is allowed. People were walking in the streets.

It was still early at Haishi, and the shops and houses in the city were still brightly lit, but outside the city, most of the people had already rested and fallen asleep.

Ten miles away from the west gate of Yongxian County, a dark figure suddenly appeared on the dark and difficult mountain road.

At the front of the crowd, Fang Yu looked at the person next to him and whispered: "Tell them to hurry up and hurry up. We must rush outside the West City Gate before midnight!"

"Yes, Dharma Protector!" The man responded, immediately turned around and walked back.

On the other side of him, the King of Shu turned around and asked, "Can you trust the people in the city?"

Fang Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there are some hidden secrets within the Holy Cult. Only the Purple-clothed Envoy and above are qualified to contact them. At midnight, they will open the west city gate, and then we will march straight in. You and others Go straight to Prince Jing's Mansion, we will take care of the Yong County guards, and meet outside the West City Gate in an hour!"
