Thirty-two, Suppressing Bandits
"Oh, Senior Brother Song, I finally found you. Why are you running around again..." Song Qingshu didn't return home all night, and only then did Xuanxu feel relieved.
"Some things delayed the time. The city gate was closed and I didn't have time to come back." Song Qingshu said with a smile.
He could see that the fat Taoist priest's concern was not fake.
He came back as soon as the city gate opened, but he was soaked by the rain last night and had nowhere to go. He took a hot bath inside the house, quickly took two cold-repelling pills, and moved in again.
After roasting in the stove all morning, I felt better.
"Ah sneeze!" Song Qingshu wrapped his jacket tightly, "It's really miserable without internal energy to protect the body. Even a small cold would scare me to death!"
Fortunately, in the past few years, I have secretly collected some essential medicines for traveling in the Wudang Mountain Alchemy Room, otherwise it would have been miserable! This is an era where colds and colds can kill people...
After lunch, someone from Junzhou Prefecture came to invite them, saying that the Junzhou Guard's camp was setting off. Daru Hua Chi Wuma Lu asked all the heroes to follow.
On this day, all the 1,000 heavy cavalry of the Junzhou Guards came out, aiming directly at the Danjiang water park dozens of kilometers away in the eastern suburbs.
When an army sets out, it cannot be done alone. All food, grass and baggage must be prepared. They set off as soon as dawn.
Seven people from Song Qingshu rode their fast horses and rushed all the way. When they saw the continuous fire at the bottom of the mountain, they knew that the Junzhou Heavy Cavalry camp was here.
It was already midnight. They were stopped by the guards, and after carefully checking their identities, they were released into the camp. They then went to see Daruhuachi and his group of military attachés in armor, and then returned to a white tent to rest for the night.
, we will go to attack the stronghold early tomorrow morning.
I don’t know if Wumalu was stupid or just too big-hearted, he actually held a banquet in the camp and drank heavily, and even sent someone to invite Song Qingshu and others to join in the fun.
Because of the unpleasantness of the last night banquet, Song Qingshu did not want to see the father and son. God knows whether that Barana would do something that would make him unable to resist wiping his neck in the middle of the night. He still stayed in the tent safely,
When the army goes to suppress the bandits tomorrow, all they need to do is kill a few bandits on the periphery and use their swords that they have practiced for more than ten years.
The real match-up has Junzhou Guard on top, and they seem to be here to cheer on the defender.
Song Yuanqiao's arrangement is very safe. It is not too simple for a thousand heavy cavalry to deal with a mere group of bandits, and there is no possibility of accidents at all.
But as the saying goes, those who hunt geese all year round will eventually get pecked in the eye. Who would have expected that a group of small bandits could cause such a big disturbance.
"Are you Mr. Song?"
Song Qingshu just left the tent and went outside to relieve himself. When he came back, he met a guard who asked him thiefly.
Song Qingshu nodded, this person is the Han army.
"Master Song, my lord is here to invite you!" The guard gestured to Song Qingshu to follow him. But when he walked a few steps, he turned around and found that Song Qingshu was still standing where he was.
"Who is your adult?" Song Qingshu thought to himself, who are you? You asked me to go with you and I went?
The guard had a look of embarrassment on his face and trotted over and whispered: "My Lord Chen, I sincerely invite Mr. Song to come to the tent to discuss important matters."
The surname was Chen. Song Qingshu suddenly remembered that the person who handed him the post that night seemed to be this person.
Then Chen Zhizhou is really unwilling to give up, and still wants to catch the boat on Song Yuanqiao by himself? Forget it, let's go and listen to what he has to say.
So Song Qingshu followed the guards to Chen Zhizhou's tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw the smiling face.
"Young Master Song, please tell me to wait and finally wait for your arrival." Chen Zhizhou did not show any airs and did not address him as "my official".
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Song Qingshu also said hypocritically: "I wonder what's the matter with Mr. Chen's invitation to come here late at night?"
Chen Zhizhou waved his hand, dismissed the guards on the left and right, walked a few steps thoughtfully, and continued to sigh, "Master Song, what do you think of this bandit suppression?"
How else can you watch it? Of course, you can watch it outside while riding a horse...
"This time it's all thanks to the Junzhou Guards. I can't wait to see what's going on."
Chen Zhizhou looked at Song Qingshu carefully, changing his usual playful and flattering expression, "Then what does Mr. Song think of the general trend of the world?"
Song Qingshu hesitated. Of course he was not asking about himself, but Wudang behind him. His statement may represent Song Yuanqiao's thoughts to a certain extent.
"I just like swords, beautiful women, and traveling around mountains and rivers. I don't care what the world does."
When Chen Zhizhou saw him pretending to be such a dandy, he suddenly burst out laughing, "Song Gong, you are a cautious person, and your words are really impeccable. In this case, I will no longer sell off. Do you know who I am?"
"You? Aren't you Chen Yuezhi, the governor of Junzhou? Is it possible that you can also be a rebel?" Song Qingshu joked, as the third-in-command of Junzhou, if he was really a rebel, then Song Qingshu would swallow the sword in his hand.
Chen Zhizhou walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and whispered, "You are right, I am really a rebel."
Song Qingshu took a step back and stared at Chen Zhizhou warily, the sword in his hand almost unsheathed.
"It's hidden deep enough."
In his light palm just now, Song Qingshu felt the deep inner strength. This man was at least a second-rate master! I am afraid no one knew that this Han official Chen Zhizhou actually knew martial arts!
"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to harm you, you would have been dead with that slap just now." Chen Zhizhou said, "You are a very good person. The reason why I tell you these secrets is because I think you are someone I can cooperate with."
Song Qingshu swallowed slowly. Chen Zhizhou had already revealed such a big secret. He was sure that he would get on his pirate ship. If he was not careful, he might really trap him to death.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Chen Zhizhou raised two fingers, "There are two reasons. First, I'm afraid you have guessed your identity. What we want to know is the attitude of the person behind you. Second, personally, I admire you very much.
you."
Song Qingshu didn't know where his so-called appreciation came from, and he wasn't familiar with him.
"If you were a villain, how could you have saved that little girl you didn't know in the market that day? You are a knight. In this case, the young knight is always worthy of respect."
Song Qingshu's face changed. He didn't expect that every move he made was under the eyes of these people and could be seen clearly. So, what about his leaving the city late at night? If you think about it carefully, it should be impossible.
There were many people in the city, so it was not surprising to be seen. He went out of the city that night in the wilderness. Unless someone deliberately followed him, it was impossible to know what happened.
"If you came here for my father, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. My father is purely here to let me practice this time, and has no other purpose." Song Qingshu said with a look of regret.
Chen Zhizhou paused for a while and then said: "No, this matter is not something you can decide. Do you know the true identity of these bandits? If ordinary bandits rebel against bandits, they need to use Junzhou heavy cavalry to suppress them?"
"I tell you, the supporters behind this group of people are none other than the Mingjiao, the number one anti-Yuan force today!"
Chen Yuezhi didn't get the reaction he wanted from Song Qingshu's face. It turned out that Song Qingshu had already guessed this.
"This is not shocking news. Anyone with a little bit of brain would want to know it." Song Qingshu thought in his heart, and heard another piece of news thrown out by him, but it made him frown.
"Among these people, there are even Wudang disciples involved."
Impossible! This was Song Qingshu's first reaction. Among the seven people who came down the mountain, none of them could be involved in the rebellion.
Wudang has always maintained a neutral stance, and Song Yuanqiao would never allow his disciples to participate in rebellion.
Wudang does not have that ambition, let alone the need.
"The person you are talking about is probably not an inner disciple of my Wudang sect."
Chen Zhizhou nodded, "It is true that he is only an outer disciple, but after all, all his martial arts come from Wudang, and he also has an extraordinary fate with Zhenren Zhang. If he leaks out, do you think Wudang may stay out of the matter?"
Song Qingshu said in a cold voice, "Are you threatening me, Wudang?"
Chen Zhizhou smiled, "How dare you, how dare you! I have always heard that Wudang is the leader of the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to the martial arts legend Zhang Zhenren, the Seven Heroes of Wudang are famous in the world. It is also said that the Wudang sect's orthodoxy originated from the Quanzhen line of Zhongnan Mountain.
I just don’t know where the Chongyang Patriarch’s mission to fight against the Tatars has been inherited?”
There is no doubt that this person is a disciple of Mingjiao, but he actually used this method to provoke generals.
"The affairs of the court should be decided by the people of the world. We, Wudang, are just a handful of people in the mountains, so why should we talk about the rise and fall of the world? You don't need to bring out these things to provoke me..."
"Young Master Song is indeed very smart!" Chen Zhizhou didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he said bluntly, "What do you want to do to cooperate with us?"
He thought to himself that there is no cooperation in this world that cannot be negotiated, but the conditions are not in place.
While talking nonsense, Song Qingshu was also thinking about this person's identity, his purpose, and the possible plans of these Mingjiao rebels...
"Can you first tell me how to cooperate?"
Chen Zhizhou said, "It's not difficult. Tomorrow Wuma Lu will lead an army to attack the stronghold, and we will cooperate inside and outside. Then..."
It turns out that this group of Mingjiao rebels planned to stage a "invite you into the urn" to trick Wumaru into the valley and annihilate them all.
But calculating the time, it is still some time before the real major uprising breaks out in history, which means that their uprising has not yet come. Song Qingshu does not know whether his little butterfly will cause changes in the world line, but through
Judging from years of observation, the inertia of the plot should still be very strong.
world, it will repair itself.
However, if the father and son Wu Malu really died here, it might be a good thing. Anyway, Song Qingshu disliked them very much, so it would be good if he could really take this opportunity to eradicate these two people.
As for this muddy water, Song Qingshu has not yet tried to drown it.
Over the years, Mingjiao has spread its wings everywhere. It has also sent people to preach its doctrines in the north, made a lot of public opinion preparations, and secretly developed followers. It has also had people plan small-scale uprisings in Henan and Guangdong, but they all ended in failure.
It turned out to be a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Without the reserves of food and grass, the Junzhou heavy cavalry could only fight quickly. If it couldn't be done within two days, it would have no choice but to return to the city.
