Mountain rain is about to come, and outside Chengdu, everything is covered with blue rolling waves.
"Ahem."
After getting off the bamboo sedan, Jia Zhou walked forward carefully, leaning on a wooden stick and supported by Sun Xun, until he stopped in front of a corpse.
"The old military advisor belongs to the little book boy of the Huang family."
Jia Zhou lowered his head and said calmly, "Sun Xun, take a few people and send them back to Chengdu for burial."
"Um... is it sent back to Qishili Cemetery?"
"Send it away."
Jia Zhou leaned on his wooden stick and walked a few more steps before raising his head. As early as yesterday, he heard about the attack on the Charcoal Burning Station. During the surprise attack in the middle of the night, those people inside... almost died.
.
"Sun Xun. From tomorrow, send someone to tell Miao Tong that within one month, the defenses along the Xiangjiang River will be re-positioned. The previously built dock will be re-located. In addition, three more naval divisions will be dispatched opposite the Kezhou dock.
"
"In addition, Feishu informed the people of the South China Sea Alliance to cooperate with Xi Shu and kill the traitor Huang Zhizhou at all costs."
I just felt that my brain was not full, but in the end I didn't say anything. Sun Xun quickly nodded.
…
tread.
His footsteps stopped on a piece of bluestone. Huang Zhizhou frowned, raised his head slightly, and looked at the unfamiliar scenery. If he walked not far, he might not be able to return to Chengdu in his lifetime.
The rice wine under the Wanggong Street, the haggis noodle stall in front of the iron shop, and when it rains, the small river outside Chengdu filled with fat fish.
"Sir, what are you thinking about?" The leader of this group of iron executioners called Che Hu, and he walked over at this moment. Before he knew it, even his title had changed.
"Recognize the direction." Huang Zhizhou frowned, "It won't be long before the Shuqi patrolling at night will find out about the charcoal burning house, and they will definitely pursue it. In addition, Nanhai and Xishu are working together, and they will definitely stop it.
Our route. Moreover, not far ahead is the Shu people’s checkpoint.”
"Then sir, what should we do now..."
"Nothing." Huang Zhizhou turned around and smiled at Che Hu, "You should also check what my original identity was."
"Sir, he is the legitimate son of the Grain King Huang."
"That's it. It's not a dead end. As long as we go around Wuzhou, we can return to Beiyu safely."
"Wuzhou? Zuo Shiren——" Che Hu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "That's it. The people from the Grain King are still in Wuzhou, and they will definitely help you."
"This is just one of them."
Huang Zhizhou's white robe fluttered, and he slowly took out a simple piccolo from his arms. He brought it to his mouth, closed his eyes and started playing.
Behind him, Che Hu hurriedly gave orders, although he didn't know what was happening.
"Mr. Protector!"
There were only about twenty people left on the iron execution platform, and they quickly dispersed, surrounding Huang Zhizhou in the middle.
After the strange flute sounded, not long after, bursts of footsteps suddenly appeared in the dense forest on the roadside. Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves tapping.
Che Hu was shocked and took the lead in drawing his sword and blocking it tightly in front of Huang Zhizhou.
"Don't be alarmed." Huang Zhizhou put down his flute and said in a calm voice, "Don't forget that I was originally a member of the Grain King. Although the Grain King Huang family has declined, it still retains some heritage."
"Sir, what you mean is -" Che Hu sounded excited, vaguely guessing something.
"This place is already outside Shuzhou, we have no worries anymore." Huang Zhizhou turned his head to the sky, his voice suddenly cold, "We will use three thousand private soldiers of the Huang family to break through the Shu people's checkpoints!"
"Then, we will use the mountain road to go around Wuzhou from the South China Sea and return to Beiyu!"
"From now on, I, Huang Zhizhou, will be at odds with the Shu thieves! Your kindness in escorting me will never be forgotten by me, Huang Zhizhou!"
Che Hu and the others suddenly felt inspired again. Along the way, under the leadership of Huang Zhizhou, they sounded like escorts, but in reality they were more like following orders. Of course, they were about to succeed.
"I would like to follow you, sir!" Che Hu shouted angrily.
The faces of the more than twenty people on the iron torture platform were also full of excitement.
Tap tap tap.
As Huang Zhizhou said, in a short time, more than a thousand cavalrymen jumped out of the forest, and then, more than 2,000 infantrymen followed.
These people were not wearing armor and were all dressed like bandits. However, there was an unconcealable murderous aura hidden in their expressions.
"Welcome to the family master."
"Welcome to the master of the family——"
With Huang Zhizhou as the center, in all directions, there were private soldiers of the Huang family kneeling down and worshiping.
"Get up." On Huang Zhizhou's face, there was no longer the dejection of unrecognized talent, instead, there was a look of hope.
Before getting on his horse, he turned around and looked silently at the Nanlin Mountains behind him.
There is clearly reluctance hidden in his eyes.
But he finally turned his head, mounted his horse in stirrups, put his sword on his back, and raised the reins high.
"drive--"
The figures gradually disappeared.
The figure in the prince's white robe never returned to Chengdu again.
…
Beside the forest, an old man collecting firewood sat on a piece of bluestone. He raised his head and looked at the people leaving. As he watched, he gradually cried.
"Dad...brother has gone far away." Beside the old man gathering firewood, a young man whose hair had just been tied up also began to cry.
"Zhixiu, just be optimistic, one day your brother will be famous all over the world!"
…
The night is getting darker.
Outside Changyang Palace, Chang Sheng, who had finished handling political affairs, walked to the pavilion wrapped in a thin cloak.
As the chief military advisor of Beiyu, he is still young and is sometimes questioned by many people from aristocratic families. Of course, his lord's cousin believes in him.
Just like this time, he almost exposed the entire Shuzhou secret agent, and he wanted to instigate Huang Zhizhou to rebel against Beiyu.
does it worth.
It's definitely worth it. Not to mention Huang Zhizhou's great talent. The most valuable thing is Huang Zhizhou's familiarity with the military of Western Shu. As a leader in the general hall, he will be well versed in land battles or water battles, and various strategic layouts.
chest.
Of course, beware that Huang Zhizhou is the wrong person. Once this person successfully enters Chongqing, a screening method will be needed.
He has already thought of this method.
Raising his head, Chang Sheng triumphed in the night, and exhaled a breath of exhaustion.
From the beginning to the end, he never had any contempt for Xi Shu. Whether it was the poisonous owl or the lame man, they were the most cunning and cunning in the world.
If you are not careful, you will be tricked.
"Little strategist." In the darkness of the night, just as Chang Sheng was thinking about it, a secret guard jumped up hurriedly.
"After receiving the secret report from the iron torture platform, Che Hu has already protected Huang Zhizhou and left Shuzhou from the Nanlin Mountains."
"Nanlin Mountains?"
"Exactly, I heard it was Huang Zhizhou's idea."
Chang Sheng thought for a while and smiled, "Yes, this person is indeed a great talent. Next, he should choose the direction of Wuzhou. There are still old people from the King of Grain over there in Wuzhou. As long as he passes to the south
This section of the road through the mountains and forests will be safe."
"Send my secret order to inform the iron torture platforms in the states south of the Yangtze River and protect Huang Zhizhou's entry into Chongqing along the way."
"The secret letter also said that Huang Zhizhou led three thousand private soldiers of the Huang family and stormed the Shu people's checkpoints, beheading seventy-nine Shu soldiers."
Chang Sheng laughed. He felt the huge stone in his chest slowly relax.
"By the way, military advisor... there is another interesting story in the world recently."
"What's the fun story?"
"The people of the world call the little military advisor the Fulong who comes out of the pond. With the power of one person, he fights against the two great conspirators of Western Shu."
"You said it too, it's just an anecdote."
Chang Sheng didn't look happy at all. He wrapped himself in a thin cloak, turned around and walked back.
