After a night of contact, Su Le was speechless and helpless about Liu Wanshan's mind. Nowadays, Xia is in trouble at home and abroad, war is raging, and there is a danger of destruction at any time, but Liu Wanshan seems to have no feeling at all about this situation.
Just after hearing from the waiter in the shop that the emperor ordered to send troops to seal off Peicheng, Liu Wanshan exultantly praised Xia Yanbing for his wisdom, but he himself had no rational judgment at all.
Su Le didn't want to waste any more words about Liu Wanshan. He just wanted to eat something quickly and then rush to Peicheng to see the specific situation before trying to figure out how to go to the capital.
After a while, the waiter brought two bowls of hot noodles. When he brought the noodles to Su Le, he especially winked at Su Le's bowl, as if he had something to say.
Su Le looked at the weird behavior of the waiter and wondered why the waiter looked at his bowl of urine? Could it be poisonous? If it was poisonous, why did he need to remind himself?
After Yue Shaoqing's repeated plots, Su Le's body was very sensitive to poisoning. He mobilized his vitality to feel it carefully, but did not find that it was poisonous. He also looked at Liu Wanshan who was already eating heavily, but did not find anything.
abnormal.
Su Le picked up the bowl, and suddenly felt a piece of paper stuck to the bottom of the bowl with his right hand. He quickly pinched it in his palm, then put the bowl down again, pretending to pick up chopsticks. He quickly opened the note with his right hand and took a look.
"Zhang and Feng rebelled, and Wu Tian followed. They have broken through the capital a few days ago. I don't know whether Xia Yanbing is alive or dead."
On the small piece of paper, a line of small words suddenly appeared, and there was also a Shadow's unique logo printed at the bottom of the paper.
Could that waiter be a shadow? Why would he convey the message to himself in this way?
After Su Le read the note, these two questions quickly appeared in his mind.
However, seeing the mysterious look of the waiter in the shop, he was probably worried that some information could not be kept known to Liu Wanshan, or he did not want the shop owner to know his identity.
Su Le then found an opportunity, saying that he wanted to go to the toilet, and asked the waiter to lead the way. At this opportunity, the waiter changed his previous attitude of greeting, knelt down neatly and saluted: "Qi Camp Master, my subordinate is Shadow
Yingpeicheng District Commander, three days ago,
Zhang Yang's southern Xinjiang army suddenly withdrew from the east coast and guarded various key roads leading to the capital. He and Feng Yuanxiao colluded with Wu Tian, the right minister, and led their respective elites to cooperate internally and externally. They had captured the capital two days ago, and General Qin Meng and the Yulin Army were struggling to resist it.
."
"Very good, what is the situation in Peicheng now? Who is stationed there?"
After hearing Shadow's report, Su Le was not too surprised. He had already guessed that the three families had colluded in Xuancheng. Since Yue Shaoqing was in Xuancheng to cause trouble, Zhang Yang and Feng Yuanxiao would naturally not be idle. As for why Zhang Yang ignored it
The black ship army retreated from the Eastern Xinjiang army. The reason for this is probably Zhang Yang's collusion with the black ship army. Of course, this is just Su Le's guess.
Right now, the most important thing is to break through Peicheng and rush to the capital to rescue Xia Shuang, so it is necessary to understand the situation in Peicheng.
"According to my subordinates' investigation, there are currently nearly 50,000 troops stationed in Peicheng. The general guarding the city is Han Shou, a close confidant of Zhang Yang's account. This man is a rare general who is good at guarding under Zhang Yang's account. In addition, the city is equipped with all kinds of Xuancheng equipment.
It’s probably not easy to break through Peicheng.”
The shadow quickly reported the information they had discovered to Su Le.
After Su Le finished speaking, he nodded slightly and said, "If you continue to lurk here, if you have any information, please send someone to the contact point in the capital. I will go to the capital in the next few days."
"promise!"
The shadow stood up, immediately transformed into the waiter, and returned to the store quickly.
"Han Shou?"
Su Le squinted his eyes and murmured.
He didn't know this person well. In fact, he didn't know much about the entire Eastern Xinjiang Army. He didn't know how strong the Eastern Xinjiang Army was compared to the Western Xinjiang Army. If he wanted to pass through Peicheng, a force attack would definitely not work.
Yi has two military ministers and one warrior, but it will take some time to kill the 50,000 Peicheng defenders. Moreover, once Peicheng falls, Zhang Yang will definitely send people to stop it, and then things will become troublesome.
.
Thinking of this, Su Le quickly returned to the restaurant, pointed at Xia Yi, and said to the owner of the restaurant: "Boss, my friend got sick a while ago and cannot take care of himself. Could you please help me take care of him?"
Three or two days.”
After saying that, Su Le generously handed over a few ingots of silver.
The restaurant owner originally didn't want to take this job, but the business was now deserted and he had nowhere to make money. When he saw the few ingots of silver Su Ledi bought, he immediately became elated, narrowed his eyes to a slit, held the silver coins in his hands, and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the hotel owner agreed, Su Le smiled and said something about taking good care of Xia Yi. At the same time, he winked at the waiter, who nodded knowingly.
Afterwards, Su Le called Liu Wanshan who was eating and headed to Peicheng.
Liu Wanshan didn't seem to be full yet, and his eyes were full of reluctance to part with the noodles in the bowl. However, seeing Su Le's serious expression and thinking that Xia Yanbing was probably in extreme danger, he followed Su Le out of the restaurant angrily.
Along the way, they just kept walking. Although Liu Wanshan followed behind and kept muttering something, Su Le didn't pay attention at all. He just wanted to rush to Peicheng quickly, understand the specific situation, and then come up with countermeasures to break through Peicheng.
.
It was three days later when Su Le and Liu Wanshan arrived at a small forest five miles outside Peicheng. Through the forest, they could see many patrolling soldiers standing on Peicheng.
In fact, Peicheng is not a big city in the Xia Kingdom. There are only 100,000 residents in the city. It is located in a hilly area and does not have high strategic value. However, because there is a Yuling Peak in Peicheng, it is rich in jade, and there are many in the country.
Business travelers came here to buy jade. Over time, this small town became an important commercial town in Xia Kingdom.
Nowadays, Peicheng has become a major military town. On the city wall, there are rows of patrolling soldiers. They all look at the woods where Su Le is in vigilantly. It seems that they have been informed in advance that the enemy will come from this direction.
Just like coming.
"Master Taifu, if we want to kill directly from Peicheng, or take a detour, do you have any good ideas?"
Su Le watched for a long time and realized that the situation in Peicheng was indeed as the shadow said. The defense was in place. If he wanted to avoid the eyes and ears of the defenders, crossing Peicheng would be like reaching the sky. There was no good strategy in the area.
Ask Liu Wanshan.
"In my opinion, these defenders are nothing more than ants. I only need one golden dragon to wipe them out. In my opinion, I'll just kill them!"
Liu Wanshan stroked his beard slightly, his body becoming murderous.
"If the defenders of Peicheng are just these on the city wall, why should I worry? It is understood that there are 50,000 defenders in this city. Not to mention whether we will encounter strong opponents, even if these 50,000 are ordinary soldiers,
If they surround the two of us and fire arrows at random, I have no confidence that I can rush through."
Seeing the old man's murderous look, Su Le knew that his injuries were almost recovered, but charging hard was definitely not the way to go, so he could only dampen his spirits.
"Then how about we wait until dark and sneak over there secretly?"
As soon as Liu Wanshan heard that Su Le was not alarmist, he "offered another plan."
"Hey, this is all we can do now."
Su Le looked at the energetic soldiers on the city wall and knew that it would not be easy to avoid their eyes and pass by quietly, so he sighed and found a big tree to sit against.
When Liu Wanshan saw this, he didn't know what he was mumbling. Anyway, he found a tree and sat down against it. Then he pulled out the long sword from behind with a loud bang, took a breath, and wiped it carefully with his green clothes.
Su Le suddenly felt that he was a little too much toward Liu Wanshan. After all, this old man was also an imperial master. Although his mind was not very bright, his decades of swordsmanship training was very worthy of the respect of a junior like him. However, he seemed to treat him like
It is somewhat unjustifiable to treat a follower.
"Ahem... Master Taifu, who did you learn this swordsmanship from? Today I had the honor to see you kill the commander of the Later Tang Dynasty with only a long sword, which shows how superb your swordsmanship is."
Su Le coughed dryly and asked respectfully.
"Of course, when it comes to my swordsmanship achievements, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to achieve such achievements without hundreds of years of practice. Of course, all this is thanks to the late emperor. I think back then..."
As soon as Su Le mentioned his swordsmanship, Liu Wanshan seemed to have forgotten everything and immediately started talking non-stop.
It turned out that Liu Wanshan was rescued by the late Emperor Xia Ding when he was young. Seeing that he was a talented martial artist, he generously taught him his swordsmanship. It was for this reason that Liu Wanshan was willing to remain a bodyguard and always face the enemy.
Xia Yanbing will never leave her.
As for the swordsmanship he learned, it was a set of swordsmanship that Xia Ding used when he became famous in his early years, called Wuwei Swordsmanship.
Su Le leaned against the tree quietly, listening to Liu Wanshan telling some scenes of his youth. He suddenly felt that this feeling was very good, as if a grandfather was telling his grandson some principles of life. Su Le listened to
Fresh and very warm.
Unknowingly, the sun has set. The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the forest outside Peicheng, illuminating the whole forest as red as the sun, and the shadows of the small trees that are not tall are also stretched very long.
Like long black ribbons, they lay flat in this forest.
After a while, the sounds of birds and insects were heard in the forest. The sounds were clear and sweet, making the already quiet forest seem even more peaceful.
"Woooo..."
Suddenly, a gust of wind roared through the forest, falling leaves flew all over the ground, and insects and birds chirped.
"roar……"
A huge roar came from far behind.
Monster!
These two words suddenly flashed into Su Le's mind, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He thought of a way to break through Peicheng!
