Mrs. Yazhai of the King of the Mountain

On August [-]th, at three o'clock in Mao's time, the Xia army raided the Zhenbei army's vanguard battalion. Unexpectedly, it fell into the trap and was annihilated by the vanguard battalion. At the same time, the soldiers suffered tens of thousands of casualties, thousands of prisoners were taken, and the losses were extremely heavy. At the time of You, the Xia Army team that entered the Zhenbei Pass West Mountain attempted to burn the Zhenbei Pass and poisoned the moat, but was seen through by the Zhenbei Army. Trapped in Xishan, due to the sudden drop in temperature that night, he eventually froze to death in the mountains.

After Weng Yanlin received the news, he was so angry that he tore up the entire tent. He thought that the news from Qingfeng Mountain would not disappoint him, but the people he sent didn't return.It wasn't until the temperature dropped sharply at Haishi that the whole garrison smelled like death, and the always cunning old man realized that his plan had failed.

On August [-]th, Xia Jun’s camp barely survived this fatal night. However, the huge number of frozen deaths still brought considerable losses to the army. In addition, the temperature did not rise, so the entire camp was still shrouded in the threat of death. , Weng Yanlin had no choice but to send someone back for help.

On August [-]th, Xia's reinforcements set off from Hanling Pass with supplies and went to the valley of Sanshou Mountain. They were attacked by unknown people, and the whole valley collapsed completely after a "bang".Although the Xia army's reinforcements withdrew quickly, the large forces were inevitably dispersed. Scattered troops were attacked from time to time, causing heavy losses in personnel and materials.

When Weng Yanlin received the news, he slumped down on the twig in an instant. After a long time, he asked, "Have you found out who did it?" In fact, the old man knew who designed it even if he didn't ask, but it was unnecessary to ask. Down.

The person in charge of delivering the news seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. After hesitating for a while, he said hesitantly: "It seems...not from the army, but more like bandits. It is said that the group of people all have ghost faces and like Sneak attack at night, at first glance, it looks like the legendary ghost army..."

"boom--"

As this palm was slapped on the table, Weng Yanlin shook his beard and shouted: "Shut up! It's just bewitching."

"But..." The person standing at the bottom looked a little aggrieved, but finally shut up obediently.

Just at this time, there was another intelligence report from outside.

It was information from the army from the west. This army was supposed to arrive at Yanming in these two days to help the fifth princess seize the throne, but for some reason, it disappeared on the way, and the entire army disappeared like a human being.The situation is tense right now, and there is no extra force to look for the missing army. However, the spies sent there have paid off and found several corpses near the Northwest Gobi. The clothes they were wearing were the uniforms of the missing army. .

As soon as the news came back, people with a discerning eye knew that this army was more dangerous than good, but the hateful thing was that they didn't know who the black hand was, whether it was from Nanliang or from our own people. However, such doubts must not be put on the surface. Otherwise, it is very likely that stealing chickens will cost you nothing.

When Weng Yanling heard these two pieces of news one after another, his eyes went dark, and he almost turned his back, but he gritted his teeth and stood firm.

"Go and inform the princess, tell her to stay calm and don't act recklessly." After giving such a sentence, he raised his head and said to the person before him: "The bandits from Qingfengzhai are most likely to attack the reinforcements this time. Go back and ask people to gather reinforcements, and come over by another route, and don’t go head-to-head with these thieves.”

"That's all for it?" The man obviously couldn't swallow this breath, and asked with reddish eyes and gritted teeth.

"Let's pass the current pass first." After Weng Yanlin finished speaking, he told the third person: "You are in charge of flying the pigeons to Zhenbei Pass. You only need to dye the pigeons black and let them go... Now, It’s really going to change.”

After finishing his orders and resting for a while, Weng Yanlin quickly integrated the army and formally declared war on Nanliang.

When Yu Yun received the battle report, Zhao Yunzhou was talking to him about the black pigeon, which flew from the north not long ago. It was first-class all black, and at first glance it looked like a crow.It wasn't until I went into the kitchen to boil the water that I realized it was a white pigeon, and I don't know who was so wicked who dyed the pigeon black.

Hearing this, Yu Yu suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu, as if there would be such a blackened pigeon flying from the north...

"You mean flying from the north?" Yu Yun pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

Although Zhao Yunzhou wondered why he asked such a question, he still answered honestly: "According to the first person who saw it said so."

"The black dove flying from the north... Maybe it's a signal." Yu Yu snorted and laughed, but the corners of his mouth curled up in an extremely sarcastic arc.Yu Yun seldom showed this kind of expression, and usually he showed this expression probably because he thought of the old man surnamed Weng, but the next moment, he didn't mention the old man, but asked, "I told you to send someone to watch over there. how's it going?"

"I heard that someone caught a black pigeon, I came out out of curiosity and looked at it and then went back."

"A black pigeon, what curiosity can there be..." Everyone knows this matter without telling the truth. Tell them more about our strategy in that battalion, and give them a few false information to lure them into the bait."

"Yes." Zhao Yunzhou embraced the order.

Looking at Zhao Yunzhou's respectful expression, Yu Yun couldn't say a word after all.He originally wanted to say that he must find out the nail that Weng Yanlin had driven into their place. If the nail had been driven in for a long time, it might be involved in those previous wars.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Zhao Yunzhou seemed to see that Yu Yun was hesitant to speak, so he asked again.

"..." Yu Yun opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound. After a while, he remembered something again, "By the way, let someone bring all the official lists and albums of the border town for the past 20 years."

At that moment, Yu Yu suddenly remembered about the black pigeon. If he remembered correctly, 20 years ago, there was indeed a black pigeon flying from the north, and it was his father who intercepted the pigeon at that time. .After that, in the name of collaborating with the enemy and treason, his father personally beheaded the general who was defending the border city at that time.

The border town 20 years ago was neither Zhenbeiguan nor Qianhe City, but a city near Xiangchuan.Yu Yun couldn't remember the name of the general who was defending the city at that time, but he clearly remembered that it was because of this man's mistake that the border city fell.When the army retreated to Xiangchuan, my father found evidence of the man's collusion with the enemy and treason, and beheaded him in public.

That year, Yu Yun was not yet ten years old, because his mother died young, his father was afraid that he would be left alone at home, and he was afraid that he would fail in his studies, so he insisted on taking him with him regardless of the danger.When his father beheaded the man, he was not there. He only secretly overheard people gossip about the man claiming to have been wronged. However, the evidence was solid and there was no room for him to argue.

Yu Yun didn't know if that person was really what he said, but he firmly believed that his father would never do anything wrong.

The list of officials from the border town was not sent until noon the next day. It is said that a horse ran and died halfway, so the time was shortened to this point in a hurry.

Now that the battle is imminent, as the coach has limited energy, Yu Yun had to take Zhao Yunzhou to check it together.

After all, the speed of the two flipping through was fast. After a while, Zhao Yunzhou pointed to a name on a roll of list and showed it to Yu Yun.

"Qu Yi?" Yu Yun read, but his eyes moved down following the introduction on the list.

This list can actually be said to be a roster. The names and biographies of the officials of the border customs are recorded on it. Although this person is not a civil official, the record is not as complete as the local governor's judge. Only the basic things are mentioned above. For example, how many years this person has been the city guard, or when this person was beheaded, or when his home was ransacked for treason.

Seeing the end, Yu Yu pursed his lips, and suddenly had a rather bold guess, but he didn't say anything, and only looked up at Zhao Yunzhou.

Zhao Yunzhou frowned imperceptibly, but his face was still indifferent, he only said: "It is said that Qu Yi has a son, but he was not in the mansion on the day the house was raided, and he was not caught after the arrest warrant came out. ...So, now this person is likely to be hiding in the imperial army led by Hou Yuebin."

"You know that's not what I want to say." Yu Yun remained calm, only looking at Zhao Yunzhou without blinking.

"You suspect..." Zhao Yunzhou closed his mouth, knowingly stopped talking, but calmly explained his doubts, "but there is no solid evidence to prove it, and if it is really him, you, the son of killing your father and enemy, should be him The person you hate the most, has no reason to defend you everywhere."

"Sure enough, everyone thinks that he is helping me everywhere." Yu Yun was not surprised by this conclusion, and only stated plainly.

Isn't it?Zhao Yunzhou looked at Yu Yun, his eyes made it clear what he said.

"In fact, even I feel that he has been helping me. If He Hai hadn't said a word to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought it was him." At the end, Yu Yun sighed secretly.

Zhao Yunzhou was puzzled: "When? What?"

"Just the night before I was exiled, he came to see me. When talking about the tribe of Huiqi, he said, 'I never thought that Zhonglang would be a man with a lot of knowledge, even such an unknown small tribe.' ..."

It was a rare moment for Zhao Yunzhou to be stunned. After a while, realizing that Yu Yun had finished speaking, he asked in a little surprise, "Just because of this sentence?"

"Almost," Yu Yun took it for granted, "The rest is just intuition, but seeing this roster, I'm even more sure that he is behind the scenes."

Before Zhao Yunzhou could speak, Yu Yu took the roster in his hand and stated while visiting: "Age is similar, both are two years older than me, have no relatives, and are not from Beijing, besides, he never mentioned his parents' family, nor Speaking of his past experience, his past is blank except for his hard training in the mountains. Besides, he never interacted with He Xiang in the past. Why did He Hai mention him to me that day? Obviously he didn’t want to take the blame on me, so he reminded me specially I."

Although this reason sounds far-fetched, Zhao Yunzhou thinks it is enough. He believes in the judgment of their coach more than the behavior of a person he knows.

"Then it should be him too?" Zhao Yunzhou lowered his voice and asked.

Yu Yun frowned: "It's not sure yet, but it's certain that the news leaked from them. Let people pay close attention to it. Once you have evidence, you can take action."
