Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Master Sun Ren clasped his fists and said: "The last general takes orders, and he will definitely live up to the hopes of the two Highnesses!"

After he finished speaking, he raised the horse and pointed forward, and the four thousand troops marched in the direction of Mabu Mountain.

Azabu Mountain!

On this ordinary day, Wang Chen woke up early in the morning as usual.

He's been sleeping like hell lately.

No matter how many things happen in the middle of the night can't hear.

Gradually, he also reacted.

I was probably drugged by someone, and most likely, it was that kid surnamed Bai who did it.

Of course Wang Chen knew what was going on.

The reinforcements from Muzhou had arrived. A few days ago, he personally brought those people up the mountain.

There were 2000 people, and more than half of them were wearing black cloaks, unwilling to let others see their appearance.

On Mabu Mountain, many people were grounded.

Although Wang Chen was not within the scope of the ban, he did not gain all the trust of the boy surnamed Bai.

Who the hell knows what happened that night?

Wang Chen was happy to see this situation. He had no other tasks to do, and all he had to do was wait.

Mr. Hei, played by the Taiji Brothers, is very busy all day long.

Wang Chen moved a small horse all day long, sat at the door of the big tile house, looked at it with a smile, and almost grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand.

After washing, Wang Chen squatted in the corner of the big tile house, lighting a fire and cooking.

He is very proficient in this kind of work. In the Liu family, the three of them cooked for at least two years.

Liu Bai called it to temper their minds, but Wang Chen and the others also knew that they were just reluctant to part with the wages.

I heard from Li Ke that when he was at home, all the cooks in the new house were fired by Liu Bai.

After the fire was lit, some rice was planted.

Wang Chen went outside and picked up some dried mushrooms on the window sill.

There are not many other things on the mountain, but there are countless game and wild food.

Cut some meat, grab a pinch of salt, and put it in the porridge.

Throw in the dried mushrooms again, it tastes delicious and can also increase physical strength.

I can't get tired of drinking it for 80 years.

Wang Chen was cutting the dried mushrooms, and suddenly felt the edge of the knife vibrate.

After opening the dried mushroom, I found a small iron rod slightly thicker than a toothpick hidden inside.

There was no hesitation in Wang Chen's actions.

Like lightning, he hid the small iron rod in his sleeve, hummed an unknown tune, sprinkled the dried mushrooms into the pot, and then turned around and closed the door slowly.

"I rely on!"

He poked a silver needle into a small iron rod and pulled out a small note.

He took out the magnifying glass from his pocket and took a few glances before realizing what was written on it.

There is only one word on the note.

"run!"

Without further ado, Wang Chen threw the note into the fire.

From the bedside, he took his small dagger and hid it in his boots.

Turning his eyes, he cut open the pillow with a small dagger, and took out a porcelain bottle the size of a finger.

"Look at what this means, it's about to tear your skin apart."

He took a little powder from the porcelain bottle and threw it into the porridge in the pot.

After stirring it gently a few times, he thoughtfully took out a stack of bowls and put them aside.

He didn't worry at all that his credit would be taken away.

Even if the face is torn apart now, and the thousands of bandits on the Mabu Mountain cannot become free labor, someone will definitely compensate him.

Anyway, it has already reached this point, maybe this pot of porridge by myself can overwhelm a few people.

After mixing the powder evenly, Wang Chen walked out as usual, as if he was full of food and went out for a walk when he had nothing to do.

Several bandits who were not afraid of death sneaked into the big tile house quietly when they saw Wang Chen coming out.

We all know that Wang Chen is the young master's confidant, so his food must be much better than other bandits.

It's not once or twice that people come here to steal food like this.

Wang Chen strolled all the way to the gate of the cottage.

"Little Four, go hunting again?"

Wang Chen had already prepared for his escape.

Before he went hunting, there were people following him.

Now no one would doubt him even if he ran down the mountain.

Wang Chen laughed, waved his hands, and said to the bandit on the watchtower, "When I come back with the head bear this time, the bear's paw will honor the young master, and I will leave you a bear whip to make up for yourself!"

The bandit on the watchtower spat down.

Wang Chen laughed loudly, waved his hand again, and just swaggered into the forest.

Chapter 1723 Sometimes, Being Too Loyal Is Not a Good Thing

Shen Wei and the two Tai Ji masters left earlier than Wang Chen.

When Wang Chen went down the mountain, they were already waiting at the edge of a trail at the foot of the mountain.

After the four people met, they walked slowly towards Ergui Mountain together without saying a word.

Before they had gone far, a raging fire ignited again on the cottage.

Wang Chen smashed his mouth, and said with some regret: "It's a thousand shi of grain. I moved it back and forth seven or eight times, and this time it's all gone."

Shen Wei smiled hesitantly.

"I think you'd better worry about your merits."

Wang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? Anyway, someone will compensate me, and Yuezhou will definitely fall into my hands by then. There are no other things worthy of my consideration."

"Don't think about it, why did you suddenly attack Mabu Mountain?"

Wang Chen scratched his chin and murmured, "It seems a bit weird, why did you tear your face up all of a sudden? Don't Brother Liu want these thousands of strong laborers on the mountain?"

Shen Wei didn't answer his question immediately.

After walking a certain distance, he stopped and told Wang Chen the truth very seriously.

Wang Chen was stunned for a long time after listening.

"You're afraid. After I heard it, I immediately ran back to fight with the boy surnamed Bai?"

Shen Wei half sighed, half helplessly said: "In fact, sometimes I envy your brotherhood very much. The young master specifically told me not to tell you in advance that it is not easy to pass the test. I think the prince and the others were tortured to death by the young master back then. If you want to live, you know how it feels, it's better to be rational and don't be impulsive."

Along the way, Wang Chen never spoke again.

Everyone knows that these brothers who grew up together have an unusual relationship.

Five brothers from the Li family, plus Chai Lingwu, Cheng Chumo, Li Fengjie, Dou Xiaoci, and Zhang Liang's son Zhang Wei.

The friendship between ten people can be called fate.

Although the big ones always bully the young ones, others are absolutely not allowed to bully their brothers.

If it is heard that a certain person has been bullied, the other nine brothers dare to risk their lives with him.

Wang Chen is no longer a child who doesn't understand anything. Some twists and turns may not be clear at the beginning, but he can react quickly.

This kind of thing cannot be done by Liu Bai.

Because Liu Bai, as the helm of a certain interest group, needs to consider the interests of everyone.

Even Li Er would not agree to sacrifice thousands of laborers on Mabu Mountain in exchange for Li You's safety.

It can only be Li Tai and Li Ke.

The other brothers are not here, only Li Tai and Li Ke have the courage to do so.

What Wang Chen is most worried about is not that Li You cannot be rescued, but that Li Tai and Li Ke will pay a high price.

These thousands of strong laborers must be the pits they must fill.

Li Tai didn't have many people under his command. Li Ke was building the Dujiangyan water conservancy project in central Shu, and there should be quite a few craftsmen under him.

The traffic conditions from the hinterland of the Central Plains to the middle of Shu are unimaginably difficult.

If the water conservancy project cannot be completed, then the plank road can only be used in central Sichuan.

It is impossible for the imperial court to allow anyone to pass by Chencang, the vital point that directly takes the world.

First of all, Cheng Chumo did not participate, and his loss must be made up.

Secondly, there are some big families in central Sichuan, and people like Niu Jinda who have made great efforts, all need to be appeased to a certain extent.

If all the craftsmen over there were dispatched, Li Ke's efforts over the years would almost be in vain.

Similarly, there is Li Tai.

Wang Chen is almost certain that if he fails to obtain the territory of Yuezhou.

Ninety-nine percent of Li Tai will compensate his fiefdom, which is Yuezhou, to himself.

For a remote place full of bandits and water thieves, these unstable factors, it is a good deal to exchange for a first-class rich place in the world.

It's just that the feeling in Wang Chen's heart is really uncomfortable.

Liu Bai has already thought of all possible factors.

Fearing that he would ruin their event by running back, Shen Wei asked Shen Wei to take him far away and bring him here to explain the truth.

In this regard, Wang Chen had no choice but to help.

The fire was already on fire, and it would be useless for him to run back.

Instead, it's better to calm down and wait, arrest the boy surnamed Bai, and then torture him severely, so that he can be exchanged with Li You.

"These few days on the Mabu Mountain, it was a waste of time, only Liu San got some benefits."

Shen Wei said a word that was not nutritious.

Liu San did not go down the mountain, with his ability, it is not difficult to take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies.

Anyway, no one can hurt him, and if he stays on the mountain, he can get more credit.

Li Tai and Li Ke got into the carriage half an hour after Sun Renshi set off. They came to the highest mountain beside Dongting Lake and observed the situation on Mabu Mountain from a distance.

This mountain is called Baiyun Mountain, also known as Acacia Mountain.

According to legend, it was the place where Liu Bang visited Zhang Liang.

The straight-line distance from here to Azabu Mountain is only three miles at most.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the scene on Mabu Mountain with a telescope.

Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they could tell who those guys were from the color of their clothes.

For example, a group of people in black robes are circling around like headless chickens.

For example, a very burnt man in white was fleeing down the mountain under the guard of a group of men in black.

It was so lively on Mabu Mountain.

Four thousand government soldiers, against six thousand bandits, there is no possibility of losing at all.

Datang's army is synonymous with invincibility.
