Li Zhe is a mid-seventh-grade green forest warrior with a simple and direct style and is unwilling to make any detours. Even he now says that it is not easy to attack by force. You can imagine how powerful that cottage is.
"Lord, those bandits are well-trained and well-equipped. They are not like ordinary bandits!"
After a pause, Li Zhe frowned and said again.
My lord also has a thousand men under his command, and those thousand men are in the city.
Although these thousand men also had hidden war horses and armor, they were not even a bit worse than the bandits.
"Not an ordinary bandit? Maybe he has something to do with... Ke Yi."
Li Mo subconsciously thought of Ruyang, the largest silk merchant.
According to those merchants, all silk merchants who came to Ruyang County eventually sold silk to this Ke Yi.
Finally, Ke Yi transported the silk out through the waterway that ran from the north to the south of Ruyang. Not only that, there were also two water villages on the waterway that ran from the north to the south. It was definitely not a coincidence.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Li Zhe looked bitter.
That is to say, the mountain stronghold was empty when we passed through that canyon. Otherwise... as long as these bandits take action, let alone two mid-seventh-grade masters, even seven or eight of them would be unable to save the goods.
"This copycat must be captured."
Pacing, Li Mo frowned,
Soon a large amount of supplies from Yibo Building will arrive in Ruyang, and the bookstore business will also be moved to Ruyang.
If this hidden danger is not eliminated, not only will the business be unsustainable, but the plan to build a pass on that official road will also be shelved.
"Shanzhai...shanzhai..."
Standing in front of the desk, Li Mo looked at the map again.
"Um?"
For a moment, after Li Mo studied the terrain of the village, he suddenly had an idea and asked hurriedly.
"This village is located halfway up a mountain?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Where is their water source?"
Just now, Li Mo thought of the classic battle in the Three Kingdoms period on earth, where Ma Di lost the street pavilion.
At that time, Ma Di's army was also stationed on the mountain, but in the end it was completely defeated because of the water source.
"My lord, because there is a spring at the foot of the mountain, the water used by the bandits comes from the clear spring."
Li Zhe thought for a while and said.
"Wait, my lord, what you mean is..."
Soon, Li Zhe's eyes lit up.
"Since the mountain stronghold is difficult to attack, we must find ways to cut off its water source. Without the water source...those bandits will definitely go down the mountain, and in this way they will lose the advantage of the terrain."
"My lord is wise, I will take care of it now."
"Yes, but be careful. These bandits are well-trained and may have set up defenses at the water source."
Li Mo nodded and said solemnly.
What he can think of, the other party may not think of.
"Lord, don't worry."
The corner of Li Zhe's mouth curled up coldly. As a person who travels all year round, there are many ways to cut off his water source. Even if there is heavy military guard there, there is still hope.
"good!"
.......
It's nearly noon,
Dongdu, Luoyang, in front of Yibo Building, Xue Song couldn't help but stand there as he looked at the dozen or so carriages on the street.
this...
Isn't it just a trip to Dongdu? Isn't this battle between my brothers too big?
"Brother!"
In a moment of doubt, Cheng Ruobing jumped off the carriage and came to Xue Song, giving him a bear hug.
"Brother, what are you..."
Xue Song couldn't help but ask his doubts.
"Brother, brother, I've been on the road a lot and I'm already hungry. I heard that eldest brother's Yibo House has great meals. How about we eat and chat while we're there?"
Cheng Ruobing chuckled and said.
He didn't show any concern in front of Xue Song.
"Okay! The food and wine are ready."
Xue Song couldn't help but smile bitterly. He hadn't seen each other for several years, but his brother was still the same as before.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Just when Xue Song was about to order the servants of Yi Bo Lou to help stop the carriages first, an anxious voice suddenly came from behind him.
It was Li Chen.
"This is..."
Seeing this, Xue Song frowned.
He had never seen Li Chen before, so he was a little confused and thought he was Cheng Ruobing's housekeeper.
Before he could speak, Cheng Ruobing frowned.
"Uncle Li, I have a lot of things to talk about when I meet my eldest brother for the first time today. We will talk about your matters later and wait for news from this king."
"This...is, Your Majesty."
Although Li Chen was anxious, he could only nod his head after hearing these words.
Along the way, this was the moment he was most anxiously waiting for. Even before entering the city, he had already sent the housekeeper back to Chang'an.
It has been almost two months since I came and gone. There is no one to take care of me at home, and my eldest son is a waste of money. Who knows what kind of trouble the family will be in.
So I just wanted to get things done and go home early.
"Let's go, brother! Don't worry about him."
After Cheng Ruobing said that, he pulled Xue Song into the restaurant without giving Li Chen any chance to talk to him.
"Brother, please!"
Xue Song shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.
Since my brother said that, he must have his arrangements.
After entering the restaurant, after some arrangements, the two monkeys already knew that they were distinguished guests. As soon as they entered the Yage, the hot pot meal was ready.
"Is this the rumored meal?"
Seeing the hot pot, Cheng Ruobing rubbed his hands and started asking how to eat it.
Just like this, after a lot of tossing,
Half an hour later, Cheng Ruobing finally had enough wine and food.
"Brother, this meal is indeed worthy of its reputation. It is enjoyable and enjoyable. Will it be available tomorrow?"
After touching his belly, Cheng Ruobing said with great satisfaction.
"As long as brother likes it, I'll take care of it. By the way, how long do you plan to stay in Dongdong?"
Xue Song smiled.
This guy has been busy eating hot pot, and finally got a chance to talk.
"How long will you stay? Brother, to be honest, I came to Dongdu this time and had no intention of going back. I came here to join my brother. That means I didn't know earlier. If I had known earlier, brother, I wouldn't have waited until now."
Cheng Ruobing chuckled.
"What? defect to me? You are the king of Guangping County..."
The tea cup that Xue Song had just picked up stopped in mid-air.
He really didn't expect Cheng Ruobing to say such things.
"Brother, please don't mention the words "Prince of Guangping County". Brother, my life is really miserable. Instead of doing nothing in that place all day long, it would be better for me to be happy here with my brother."
Cheng Ruobing curled his lips.
In the eyes of outsiders, the status of the Prince of Guangping is so esteemed, but in fact only he knows how sad it is.
Like other princes, he only inherited the title from his ancestors and did not have an actual position.
"Are you... from Guangping County...?"
Xue Song still couldn't understand it.
"Alas, brother, I don't know. Guangping County is adjacent to Fanyang, Pinglu and other three counties. Over there is the place where Fan Yang Jiedu envoy An Lushan. He comes to Guangping every now and then to look for trouble. The governor of Guangping County is a weakling.
