Chapter 1022

After Li Tai's affairs have been handled, Wu and his entourage arrange for a heavy burial, and then send someone back to the camp to inform his family. This is the first general lost by the black flag army in recent years. He didn't die on the battlefield. He died in the assassination. Li Tai followed Fang Xie from the northwest. At that time, he was a member of the Sui army in langrushan in the northwest. Although he had no great talent, he was cautious and steady. When the cavalry flying word camp was divided, Fang Xie promoted him to be the Deputy General of the cavalry of the first army.

Later, with the increasing strength of the black flag army, Li Tai's military position was also promoted from deputy general to general. When Xiahou Baichuan was assassinated in Huangyang road in the southwest, it was he who took people and horses to check the people of Buddhism. Then he led the army to rush thousands of miles to Xinyang City for garrison.

For Li Tai's death, the officers and men of the black flag army felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Fang Xie left San Jin Hou Wu Yidao and Dao Zunxiang qingniu. If Fang Xie took them away when he returned to the southwest that day, he was afraid that Li Tai was not the only general assassinated in the camp that day.

"After setting up such a big game, Gao Kaitai didn't have such an idea or such a view of the overall situation."

Dugu Wenxiu glanced at Fang Xie: "the LORD said that this matter involved a jianghuzong gate called Yueying hall. Maybe all this was planned by the people of Yueying hall."

"This man is very unusual. He has calculated everything before he shows up. Maybe he is just watching coldly in the dark and waiting for the opportunity. It can be seen that the Yueying hall is definitely not as simple as trying to get out of the Jianghu again. The principal of that Yueying hall is only afraid of ambition."

Wu Yidao looked at Fang Xie: "the most urgent task now is to divide troops to attack lingmen pass. As long as you keep lingmen pass, the place is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The wolf rider is not familiar with the tactics of attacking cities and regions, and it's not so easy to win lingmen pass. If you take lingmen pass and the wolf rider hasn't arrived yet, you can send troops to the west to guard Yishui."

Fang Xie nodded and told Chen Xiaoru, "go and find Yan Zeng."

Chen Xiaoru promised and turned to send someone out.

"Lord..."

Dugu Wenxiu pondered for a moment and looked at Fang Jie: "is it inappropriate to use Yan Zeng?"

He lowered his voice slightly: "if this is really a big picture, Yan Zeng is the old headquarters of Gao Kaitai, and his guarding Liyin city is the top priority. If Gao Kaitai trusts him, he may not tell him this situation? If he knows this, then his surrender will be..."

Wu Yidao's eyes changed: "Dugu means that Gao Kaitai deliberately lost Liyin city in order to lead us north and encircle us with wolves?"

Dugu Wenxiu nodded: "It's not that my subordinates are too suspicious, but the situation at this time can't be more than my subordinates don't want. Liyin warehouse is where Gao Kaitai's military food is. He sent Yan Zeng to guard with heavy troops. However, although Yan Zeng defended tightly when fighting Liyin City, it seemed easier when he finally surrendered. When crossing the Qinhe River, the LORD sent Xia hou to attack and sent Yan Zeng to attack lingmen pass... But Yan On the grounds that lingmen pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zeng just surrounded the city pass and did not attack. "

Wu Yi's face sank: "so, it's really suspicious."

He looked at Fang Xie: "According to the truth, after the Lord got Yan Zeng, he went all the way north unimpeded. Yan Zeng persuaded the guards of seven or eight cities along the way to open the door and surrender. He could persuade these people. Why can't he move the thousands of defenders of lingmen pass? At that time, he couldn't see the importance of lingmen pass. It doesn't matter whether the army can go north or not. But now, lingmen pass is important Yan Zeng didn't attack lingmen pass. He told the Lord that he couldn't persuade the troops to surrender to lingmen pass... I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose. "

"And..."

Dugu Wenxiu added: "now it seems that not only Yan Zeng is suspicious, but also those Gao Kaitai subordinates he persuaded to surrender all the way. The journey was so smooth that it was beyond imagination. Almost soon after Yan Zeng entered the city, the general guarding the city will open the door and surrender."

Fang Xie shook his head: "what you two said is reasonable... But you forgot one thing."

"What?"

Wu Yi asked.

"The premise is that if all this is Gao Kaitai's situation, Gao Kaitai has colluded with the Mongol Yuan people for a long time. Since he has colluded, why should he fight so hard in the Qin river? Tens of thousands of troops died, which is not a big loss for him. If he wants to block our black flag army to the south of the Qin river so as to encircle the wolf in the future... It doesn't make sense, if it is In this way, he will not divide his troops to guard the Qin River, but put most of his troops north of the Qin River and will not let us come. "

Dugu Wenxiu was stunned and nodded: "what the LORD said is reasonable."

He looked at the map, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "it's true. If Gao Kaitai and Meng Yuan had already colluded, then he should personally lead the troops to deploy defense north of the Qin River."

"I don't want to easily doubt a subordinate."

Fang Xie stood up and said slowly, "Yan Zeng is a demobilized general, but he is now a member of the black flag army. If I choose to doubt him or trust him, I'd rather be the latter."

Fan Gu

The boy picked up a thing, looked carefully, shook his head and said, "master, what is this?"

Mr. Jiu looked at it and shook his head: "I've lived here for several years, and I don't understand where it is, let alone what the things here are used for. After I returned to the moon shadow hall to become Mr. Jiu, I came back to live here for two years. It was a coincidence that I understood what one of the things could do."

"Is that what you gave to the other heavenly kings, master?"

"Well"

Mr. Jiu nodded: "I found a lot of books in a stone gate over there. I wanted to look through them to see if it was helpful, but a handful of those books turned gray. Last time I brought you here, only you had the most ideas about things here, so I'll bring you again."

The boy nodded: "disciple, thank you for your appreciation. I will work harder."

He went to a strange looking cabinet, looked carefully and shook his head: "this thing should be composed of a very cumbersome structure, even my original master may not be able to open it. This should be a secret lock, but to open the door, you need not only the key, but also other means."

His former master was a locksmith.

The well-known locksmith made the mechanism box by his master. Few people in the world can open it. The young man has shown enough talent in this aspect since he was young. At the age of seven, anything made by his master can't help him.

"So I'm going to keep you here."

Mr. Jiu pointed to the distance: "you can rest assured to see these things here, and I'll stay to protect you. In the future, they will take care of your food and daily life. You don't need to worry about food and drink, and they will take care of you."

"And you?"

Asked the boy.

"I still have very important things to do. Since I brought the Yueying hall back to the light, what I want is not a flash of light, but an eternal light. Now I have calculated the Mongolian Yuan people, Gao Kaitai and the black flag army. Let them fight. The more fierce the fight is, the better. In the end, it is my Yueying hall. The Yueying hall has been in the dark for more than 200 years It began to improve under my rule. Since God gave it to me, I must do it well. Besides, an opponent this time is still an old acquaintance. How can I stay out of it? "

"But master... I'll be afraid to stay alone."

"You are a man. Men can be afraid but can't shrink back. No one is not afraid. Even I have something to fear. But if we shrink back when we encounter something we're afraid of, we'll achieve nothing."

Mr. Jiu said seriously, "your talent is here. The success of the moon shadow hall may lie in you in the future."

"OK..."

The boy hesitated and asked, "what if I accidentally broke something?"

Mr. Jiu couldn't help laughing: "if you don't break it, we don't know what these things are for. So there's no difference between breaking it and not knowing its use, but as long as you find the use of one thing, it's very helpful to me. Even if you break all the things in this place, I won't blame you."

"That's good."

The boy smiled, a little silly.

Mr. Jiu shook his head and said, "I'll come and see you after I've finished this big event."

With that, he turned and walked out.

"I'll leave it to you. If something happens to Saburo, you don't have to go back to see me. Remember, Saburo can't die if one of you is still alive. The future of the moon shadow hall may be here. As long as you can understand the role here, it's not a dream for the moon shadow hall to turn the sect into an empire. You'll all be meritorious officials at that time. You know, I've never been here Are not stingy with rewards. "

"Don't worry, the third young master will give it to us."

Mr. Jiu nodded and looked back at the boy named Saburo: "I'm here to see these things in peace of mind. Give me a surprise when I come next time."

"Master!"

Sanlang suddenly poked his head out of the room and shouted excitedly at Mr. Jiu: "master, I opened the door and found this thing from inside. I just don't know what it is. This cabinet is full of this thing. The cabinet is well sealed, so the things inside are well preserved."

Mr. Jiu couldn't help laughing. He knew he didn't read the wrong person. He put all his future achievements on Saburo, and Saburo didn't disappoint him. He walked over there and looked at the excited expression on Saburo's face. His heart, which had not fluctuated for a long time, became excited.

"This thing should not be difficult. It should be much simpler than the one you found. Here is a pull ring. So many things are obviously often used. This pull ring is for convenience. I'll try whether it can be opened. Maybe there will be unexpected changes after it is opened."

As Saburo spoke, he pulled open the pull ring outside the round thing.

As soon as he let go, he clicked and fell something from it. Saburo looked down and didn't have time to straighten up... The things in his hand exploded, and the huge explosive force tore him to pieces. The scene was so sudden and shocking that Mr. Jiu, who was walking this way in the distance, was completely stunned.

He raised his hand to block the flying debris.

Just looking at the broken limbs and arms on the ground... Saburo, who smiled proudly at himself a second ago, turned into a pool of meat mud.

"Is this... Providence?"

Mr. Jiu looked there, his body trembling involuntarily.
