One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 177 Female Agent Zhao Yu

"Yu'er, you are too nonsense! The second hall is an important place for the county officials to discuss matters, how could you come here to eavesdrop on it!" Zhao Yun scolded Zhao Yu with a straight face as soon as he saw her.

Zhao Yu stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "If I didn't come here, how would I know that you are going to send someone to Zhangzi County to find out the news?"

After finishing speaking, she took a few steps forward, walked to Qin Yi's side, grabbed Qin Yi's sleeve, and begged while shaking: "Brother Qin, send me to Changzi County, I promise to send you the news you want Find out."

Zhao Yun became even more angry and continued to lecture Zhao Yu: "Yu'er, don't mess around. You have made a big mistake by entering the second hall privately, and you dare to cause trouble to the county magistrate!"

"Hey——" Zhao Yu was not afraid of Zhao Yun at all, turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Zhao Yun, and then continued to beg Qin Yi: "Brother Qin, just send me!"

Qin Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Yu'er, please let go first. My arm will be broken by you."

"If you don't agree to me, I will continue to shake!" Zhao Yu said while increasing the shaking.Qin Yi felt that his shoulder joint was shaking.

"Yu'er, stop messing around!" Zhao Yun was really angry, stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed Zhao Yu's arm.

"Brother, you hurt me!" Zhao Yu yelled with pain on his face.

"Zilong let go!" Qin Yi hurriedly ordered Zhao Yun, and then smiled at Zhao Yu, saying, "Yu'er, it's not fun to inquire about news, you are too young to be suitable."

At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly said: "Zilong, please let go of Miss Yu'er first. I have a few questions to ask her."

"Brother Xu, you..." Zhao Yun looked at Xu Huang in surprise, but also let go of Zhao Yu.

Xu Huang ignored Zhao Yun, and asked Zhao Yu directly: "Miss Yu'er, do you know what news you want to inquire about?"

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "Should I inquire about the situation at the home of the county magistrate Qiu in Zhangzi County?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Yi and Zhao Yun were startled.

"Yu'er, why did you say you wanted to inquire about the situation at Magistrate Qiu's house?" Qin Yi immediately asked Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yudao: "Aren't you afraid that County Magistrate Qiu will hold a Hongmen banquet for Brother Qin? If you don't go to his house, how will you know whether he is going to hold a Hongmen banquet?"

Hey, this girl is smart enough!Qin Yi thought in surprise.

"Then how do you plan to inquire about the situation at Magistrate Qiu's house?" Xu Huang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Zhao Yu again.

Zhao Yu lowered his head, bit his lips, grabbed his braids with both hands and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Yes, I have, I'll go and see if there is no shortage of maidservant at the Magistrate Qiu's house, let's sneak in!"

"That's a good idea, but what if the Magistrate Qiu's family doesn't lack maids?" Qin Yi asked.

Zhao Yu tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying: "Maybe his family has a cook, and I'm also good at cooking. If his family doesn't lack a cook and she always buys vegetables every day, I'll call her A big brother of the yamen servant, and I pretended to be a food delivery person and sneaked in."

"Tianyu, I think you might as well let Miss Yu'er try it. She is young, so she won't be suspicious at all." Xu Huang said to Qin Yi.

With Zhao Yu's performance just now, Qin Yi was already tempted, but he finally shook his head and said: "It's too dangerous, Yu'er can't go!"

"Brother Qin, I also think that Yu'er can try it." Zhao Yun actually echoed Xu Huang's proposal.

"Zilong, why don't you...don't you worry about Yu'er's safety?" Qin Yi asked in surprise.

"Of course I can't let Yu'er go to Zhangzi County alone. I'll bring a dozen brothers to accompany Yu'er. If Yu'er can't be guaranteed to return safely, Xu is willing to come and see you." Zhao Yungang wanted to explain, but Xu Akira first.

"Yes, with Brother Xu protecting me, I will not be in danger." Zhao Yu said anxiously.

Qin Yi thought for a while, but still shook his head: "Gongming has already been to Changzi County once. It would be exposed, so it is better not to go."

Having said that, he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, why don't you send Lu Jun there. He's a face, and he's a good enough person for me to trust."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "I also believe in Lu Jun."

Now that the decision had been made, Qin Yi immediately called Lu Jun, discussed the details with Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, and carefully instructed Lu Jun and Zhao Yu.

The next day, Lu Jun took 40 people, disguised as a team from a wealthy family on a trip, and accompanied Zhao Yu to Changzi County to find out the news.

Qin Yi, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun were not idle either. The three of them also disguised themselves, and under the leadership of a servant sent by Wei Jian, went to Huangshi Cliff for on-the-spot investigation.

The jurisdiction of Lu County is an irregular square shape. The county seat is located in the north, bordering Jizhou in the east; Xiangyuan County in the northeast; Nie County in the northwest; Tunliu and Changzi counties in the west from north to south;

The border between Lu County and Zhangzi County is very short, only more than ten miles away.And within the boundary line of more than ten miles, it is precisely where the Huangshiya Iron Mine is located.

After Qin Yi and others came to Longhuai Township, they went straight to Huangshiya Iron Mine.Instead of taking the main road, they chose the mountain path.

Under the leadership of the Wei family servant, Qin Yi, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun climbed to a mountain peak.

"Your Majesty, please look, the hill five miles away is Huangshiya." The famous servant pointed to a hill in the distance and said.

"Where is the iron mine located?" Qin Yi asked.

"The iron ore is in the valley near us. There is a steep cliff there, which is yellow-brown in color, and the place name of Huangshi Cliff is also derived from it," said the servant.

Qin Yi nodded understandingly.There are several colors of iron ore, and yellow-brown is one of them.

"Is there any road accessible to Huangshi Cliff?" Qin Yi asked.

The servant said: "Originally there was no road. Since the discovery of iron ore in Huangshiya, the miners have opened a road, which leads directly to the official road."

"Xianzun, you can't see the situation of Huangshi Cliff clearly here, why not get closer." Xu Huang suggested.

Before Qin Yi expressed his opinion, the servant said in a panic, "We can't get any closer. Once we get down from this hill, the officers and soldiers from Changzi County will control the road. We can't get close to Huangshi Cliff at all."

Qin Yi said: "It's okay, we didn't intend to enter the iron mine, just take a look at the road conditions and the surrounding terrain from a distance. If you are afraid, you might as well go back first. We already know the way back to the county."

The servant hesitated for a while, but in the end his fear defeated his sense of responsibility. He cupped his hand apologetically towards Qin Yi and said, "Since the county magistrate has his destiny, the villain will return to the county first. The county magistrate Take care of yourself!"

"Go ahead, I won't blame you."

After the servant left, Qin Yi, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun went down the mountain, and they saw a road at the bottom of the mountain that could accommodate four horses.

The three of them walked along the road for about half a mile, and when they turned around an intersection, they saw a few flags erected in front of the road in the distance.

"Tianyu, you and Zilong are waiting here, someone quietly leans over to observe." Xu Huang whispered.

"Gongming be careful!"

Xu Huang left the road and went up the hillside next to the road. He lowered his body and continued to probe forward. After a while, he was out of sight of Qin Yi and Zhao Yun.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Huang returned and said to Qin Yi and Zhao Yun, "There is a checkpoint and tents set up there, and about three to forty people are stationed in shifts."

"Only three or forty people?" Qin Yi asked in surprise.

Xu Huang shook his head and said: "There are indeed 40 to 500 people at the checkpoint. However, there is a military camp two miles away from the checkpoint. Judging by the number of military tents, it should be able to accommodate [-] people. The road passes through the center of the military camp. A certain judge, not far from the barracks, should be the Huangshiya Iron Mine."

"That barracks must have been sent by Qiu Xi to guard the iron mine." Qin Yi said with deep conviction.

"The traffic here can be regarded as convenient. If we attack Huangshiya by force, we should be able to break it with one blow." Zhao Yun said.

Qin Yi smiled noncommittally, and said, "Let's go, let's go back."
