[Sword Three] Curate Tibet. Bet

Chapter 21 The dark tide is surging

Zhou Xian didn't understand what was going on, but his body moved first naturally. This was a conditioned reflex formed by fighting against the enemy for many years on the battlefield, and it was basically not controlled by the brain.

He was surprised at the speed of He Zhou's sword at first, and then he was surprised that He Zhou looked soft and weak, but every move had a strong purpose. It is not to be underestimated.

The wind was blowing under He Zhou's feet, and the two swords came and went, gradually forcing Zhou Xian into a corner, making the man unable to perform his moves gradually. Zhou Xian frowned. He didn't want to fight against a woman. This was not discrimination, but No matter if he wins or loses, he can't face it. He intends to back down, but He Zhou doesn't appreciate it at all. He looks so fierce that he really wants to cut himself off.

Women are trouble!

Zhou Xian clicked his tongue, shielded his hands, and revealed two hidden weapons between his fingers. First, he braced one sword, and turned his head when the other sword was stabbing, and said: "If you offend me, please Forgive me, girl."

"Pfft." This was Ye Zhiming's voice.

Zhou Xian was puzzled, but He Zhou was even more angry.

"It's true to say that you are a wood!" He Zhou yelled, and his move Jiang Hai Ningguang seemed to set off a storm on the sea, approaching Zhou Xian's opening.

Zhou Xian had no choice but to dodge in embarrassment with light work, turned sideways from the corner, and quickly took the long-spear resting on the table, before turning his head back in time, he swung the tip of the spear to block the menacing sword.

Zhou Xian was about to break out in a cold sweat. In this narrow space, He Zhou's two swords obviously restrained himself. He didn't have time to think about it, so he flashed out of the tent.

He Zhou didn't chase after him, the two swords were beautifully drawn in his hands, he put the sword back into its sheath, and let out a cold snort.

It looked like he had just beaten a dog in the water.

Ye Zhiming finally settled down, and frowned, "What are you doing, are you serious?"

He Zhou squinted at him, "A dog can't spit out ivory, so I'll teach him a lesson for you."

"What do you mean by helping me..." Ye Zhiming said helplessly, "That kid has been stupid since I met him, but he is a very nice person, so don't bully him."

"Stupid." He Zhou shook his head and said meaningfully, "I'm afraid there is someone else for the stupid one."

Ye Zhiming was puzzled, "Huh?"

He Zhou shook his head, he didn't seem to want to mention this matter, and instead said: "I came to tell you something else, I was interrupted by that kid, and I almost forgot."

He Zhou took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Ye Zhiming, "I just received it, take a look."

The sealant on the envelope obviously came from Tangmen, Ye Zhiming frowned, "Have you seen it?"

"Of course I've read it." He Zhou poured himself a cup of tea, "If it's a trivial matter, I'll help you back, and I won't come to you specifically."

Ye Zhiming, the young master, never liked troublesome things, nor did he like things that were too complicated.He Zhou usually helped him deal with less important matters. Anyway, He Zhou always liked to inquire about gossip, and his news channels were not much worse than those of the Beggars' Gang.

Seeing that He Zhou couldn't make up his mind, Ye Zhiming suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he hesitated for a moment, and opened the letter anyway.

In recent years, he has had some shadows about the matter of opening letters. Since An Lushan led the Spike Army to occupy Chang'an, almost all the letters he received were bad news, and most of the news of the deaths of the brothers came from here. .

Gradually, he disliked reading letters more and more.

The letter was written by Tang Zhen. Since the Huotu incident, they have continued to keep in touch. First, the hidden sword villa also planned to expand its business to Shu. Tangmen was a good start, and because Tangmen and the five immortals After teaching various cooperative relationships, the connection between Tibetan Sword Villa and Five Immortals has gradually increased.

After the various sects took action against the Spike Army, each sect assigned different combat tasks according to what they were good at. Most of the Tang Sect was responsible for collecting intelligence and assassination, as well as serving as a transit point for contacting various sects.

The beggar gang is good at guerrilla warfare, and has made great contributions to delaying time, passing on information, and disturbing the peace of the Spike Army—and by the way, they have taken a lot of food and grass from them.

Previously, Tang Zhen came to the news that the teaching had entered the Central Plains and had already joined them. The Mingjiao brought news of reinforcements this time. Perhaps the opportunity for Datang and other small countries outside the customs to join forces against the Spike Army has come.

These are all good things, Ye Zhiming heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he finished reading, He Zhou said, "How is it?"

Ye Zhiming slowly closed the letter, a little absent-minded, "What about it?"

"The letter said that your big brothers Xia and Liangyi also joined them. Xia Yu and Wanhuagu have a new plan. As long as they succeed this time, it may bring about a huge turning point and prepare for the arrival of reinforcements."

"It's a good thing if we can succeed in one blow." Ye Zhiming said: "The longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us."

"It may not be beneficial to the Spike Army." He Zhou said: "They burned-killed-captured-looted all the way, and the people have already complained. As long as the emperor finds the right opportunity and gives an order, it is estimated that we will have a lot of new troops."

"That also has to be when there is sufficient food and grass." Ye Zhiming thought for a while, "Do you remember... the floods every year?"

"Of course." He Zhou was taken aback, "You mean...?"

"We know the geographical environment of the Central Plains, but the Spike Army doesn't necessarily know it well." Ye Zhiming was actually a little uncertain, hesitatingly said: "There is a saying in the art of war, 'one is the way, the other is the sky, the third is the earth, and the fourth is the earth. General, the fifth law.' I dare not say this, but we can always occupy some of heaven, earth, general, and law, right?"

He Zhou curled his lips, "Fa... I think the method of the Tiance Mansion is still useful, the magic trick... no no, let's not mention the magic strategy. Look at the Cangyun army, the old Cangyun army has been completely disbanded. It is said that Shuai Qu is going to rebuild the revenge army, so I don't think he can help in a short time."

He Zhou said: "This way you make your family want to go. The point is what Tang Zhen said. Zhang Zhi ran away. He must have gone to see the mountain wolf. When he leaked our internal information, what should we do?"

Ye Zhiming fell silent upon hearing this.

Most of the letters contained good things, but there was also one bad thing. Zhang Zhi, who was escorted to Yanmen Pass by Huo Tu and his party five years ago, ran away when the Spike Army entered Yanmen Pass. Ye Zhiming and the others didn't know why Zhang Zhi was still alive. , and never heard about Huo Tu again, and now only relying on Tang Zhen's words, he was a little confused for a while.

Zhang Zhixian followed them all the way from Chang'an to Shu, and was escorted to Yanmen Pass by Huo Tu, people from Tang Sect and Five Immortals Sect. How much useful news did he get along the way?Or maybe just based on what he saw and heard along the way, no one knows what he can offer the mountain wolf, but they dare not gamble.

About Zhang Zhi's matter, Xia Yu and the others had made a promise at the beginning, and no one else would know about it except for a few of them.Tang Zhen was unable to inform the major sects of this matter, so he had to write to him first.

After all, Huo Tu is the eyeliner of the imperial court. He knows many secrets that are unknown to the imperial court, and also knows about many sects in Jianghu. It has been kept, but now once the matter is told to others, not to mention whether there will be infighting within the sect at this time, at least the crime of concealment and non-reporting by him, Xia Yu, Liang Yi and Zhou Xian cannot be uncovered.

He and Xia Yu were both Jianghu people, even if they had to be punished, there would be a set of punishment methods for Jianghu people.But Zhou Xian was a member of the imperial court, so this matter could be big or small, besides, Zhou Xian was not very old at the time, and he was not the one who made the decision, so he couldn't be implicated innocently.

"...Let the beggar gang help and find Zhang Zhi." Ye Zhiming decided that the Jianghu people should handle this matter by themselves, "Let's say... find a traitor who stole the secret information from the Tiance Mansion."

He Zhou nodded, "What happens after you find it?"

"Assassination." Ye Zhiming squinted his eyes, "Let me know when you find someone."

"What's the matter, you still plan to go in person?" He Zhou was stunned for a moment, and disagreed, "What did I tell you? With your violent temper, you have not done anything to anyone else. Put yourself in first, don't you forget?" How did you hurt your hand? If it wasn't for me, would you have come back alive?!"

brush-

The curtain of the camp tent was thrown open, and Zhou Xian stood outside, his face so dark that water dripped out.

"what happened?"

He Zhou paused, made an innocent expression of "Oh, I was discovered", and blinked.

He looked at Ye Zhiming and shrugged, "I didn't say it, he overheard it."

Ye Zhiming: "..."

Do you think I'm stupid?Who doesn't know he's standing outside?Obviously you said it on purpose!

Zhou Xian hid outside for a long time, but no one chased him out. He hesitated, and finally walked back—he didn't want to leave the two of them alone.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard something like "Look for someone, assassinate". He felt that it was inappropriate to stand outside and eavesdrop, and wanted to avoid it. When he turned around, he heard He Zhou shouting a few words in a loud voice.

This time, I didn't say a word, and I heard it clearly.

What does it mean to put yourself in?What do you mean if it wasn't for him, Ye Zhiming wouldn't be able to come back alive?

Ye Zhiming said lightly, "It's just too hard." What is the truth behind it?

Zhou Xian knew that he was not qualified to preach to Ye Zhiming, but he couldn't let himself pretend that he didn't hear it. He rushed in without thinking about the consequences, and it was Ye Zhiming who was annoyed at He Zhou. The facial expression, and the way He Zhou is giggling.

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when he saw Ye Zhiming annoyed at Xia Yu in the yard where chickens were flying around, he felt uncomfortable for the first time.

At that time, he didn't understand the relationship between men and women, and he quickly forgot about this relationship, but this time, he knew what he was for.

"What's going on? Who are you looking for?" Zhou Xian stepped into the tent with an attitude that he couldn't refuse, and stared at Ye Zhiming heavily.

Ye Zhiming opened his mouth, not thinking of words at all, He Zhou patted him on the shoulder, got up and walked in front of Zhou Xian.

"Ask him yourself. I'm very interested in listening to other people's gossip, but I'm not interested in gossip about others." He Zhou narrowed his eyes again as he spoke, "By the way, the young master is not a girl, but a real man. Ming'er, who is chirping in your house, is a brother who worships you, understand?"

Zhou Xian was taken aback, and subconsciously looked down at He Zhou. He Zhou raised his hand and stretched out his fingers, "I'll poke you blind!"

Zhou Xian stepped aside in a hurry, and coughed in embarrassment, "Sorry..."

He Zhou snorted and walked away coquettishly. The tent curtains were raised and lowered, and it was completely dark outside.

In the distance, the noise of the soldiers chatting came, which seemed both real and illusory.

Zhou Xian lit the lamp, glanced at Ye Zhiming at the table, "Aren't you going to say?"

The author has something to say: he said he wanted to write a short story, and as he wrote, there were more and more characters, so he silently covered his face. PS: Thank you for the landmines in the name of Mr. Zhao!bow~
