Aggrieved Fish Sprite

During the day, the sun dries up the vegetation and turns yellow, and the wind is strong along the river. Once a fire breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.

The ink carp stood up.

As a result, I couldn't get up.

A hand grabbed the belt from behind and almost fell back on the bed.

Doctor Mo turned his head silently, Meng Qi put down his hand with a smile, and said via voice transmission: "In such a big inn, if you want to surround it with at least 50 people, if you set fire to it, unless they bring kerosene and kindling, otherwise You must go to the woodshed in the kitchen of the inn. The doctor will go to the front and look at Huang Liu, and I will go to the woodshed."

After speaking, without giving Mo Li any chance to "retaliate", he jumped out in one stride.

Ink Carp: "..."

It doesn't matter, you can slip away for a while, but you can't escape forever.

Being interrupted by Meng Qi, Mo Li also calmed down.

What happened in Run County made him too nervous. In fact, ordinary people in the Jianghu are not as well-planned as Ayan Puka and Shopkeeper Sun, who can toss out the formation of burning sweet spring soup.

From what these people said, they were looking for something.

This item must have been stolen, and those responsible for delivering the items were those traveling merchants who smuggled goods across the river for the military camp. Since the goods carried by the traveling merchants had to be inspected before boarding the ship, they could not be carried in boxes.Since there is a need for joints, it is likely that the traveling merchants in Jingzhou are doing business with the traveling merchants from the north. The place where they can meet without attracting attention is the inn.

Mo Li quickly figured it out, he didn't go through the door, but turned out the window like Meng Qi did.

Outside the window is a small deserted courtyard. When the inn was prosperous, it should have been well-maintained. The flowers and trees are well arranged, but now there are only wild weeds and sundries piled up in a mess.

It wasn't that Mo Li wanted to open the window, it was mainly because the door was too broken.

Even a master of qinggong could not prevent the sound of such a broken door being pushed open, only the windows were kept open due to the stuffy weather.

The ink carp quietly walked around the courtyard and came to the inn lobby in front.

Huang Liu, a traveling businessman, was still drinking.

What he drank was rice wine produced in the south, and he couldn't get drunk in three pots.

Holding a long dust tail made of rags in her hand, the lady in the shop carelessly drove away the mosquitoes flying towards the light, and echoed with a smile on her mouth.Once Huang Liu's hands and feet are unruly, she avoids them lightly.

Huang Liu was not annoyed, the proprietress of the Yedian inn usually has the ability to attract guests but keep them away.

If it is easily taken advantage of by others, this store may not be able to continue.

In this inn there is a man who looks like an iron tower as a clerk, and now he is leaning against the counter and taking a nap, Huang Liu will not really be looking for boredom.It's just that after drinking for three rounds, his pockets will soon be filled with money, and Huang Liu is a little ecstatic.

Before crossing the river, Huang Liu was worried that the two unidentified old men would be in the way, but now sitting in a familiar shop, drinking old rice wine, his mind became more and more settled.

——This is the site of their itinerant merchants. They have been friends with the store owner for many years, and they don't have a store in front of the village. It's just two old things and a pair of grandparents. What can happen?

"No, no, I'm going to take a rest." Huang Liu stood up, shaking his body slightly, and he greeted lazily while yawning, "Miss Tao, I'm here to see the goods with Wang Mazi. If the old boy arrives, you ask the man to knock on the door and call me."

"to make."

As soon as the shopkeeper's wife spoke, her expression suddenly changed.

Huang Liu walked a few steps slowly before realizing that something was wrong, he turned his head in confusion.

"...!!"

A sharp blade caught his eye.

Huang Liu broke into a cold sweat from fright, and instantly sobered up from the wine.

His limbs were stiff, and his body was still in a half-turned posture, so he couldn't move for a while.

At the entrance of the inn, seven or eight men masked in black scarves and full of murderous looks poured in. They held ghost-head knives with thick backs and wide faces, just like evil spirits who came to seek their lives.

After being stunned for a while, the lady in the store squeezed out a smile, and walked up to her with a swaying waist: "Are the good guys going to stay in the store, or to be the top? It's the middle of the night, and it's frightening to use swords and soldiers. Hey... ...Okay, I won't say."

Seeing the masked man who suddenly pointed the knife at her, Lady Tao quickly waved her hand and took a flattering step back.

The guy behind the counter was already awake, but before he could move, two masked men pointed at him with knives, forcing the guy to sit back obediently.

Lady Tao winked at the guys, and then waited for these people to make trouble or ask questions.

As a result, the other party didn't say a word, as if he was waiting for something.

There was a dead silence in the inn, only the sound of uncut lanterns and the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Mrs. Tao couldn't bear it at first. She thought about her sentences and asked cautiously: "This...there are mountains and rivers, and there are waterways. surname……"

"To shut up!"

The masked man at the head shouted angrily, looking very annoyed.

waste!A bunch of trash!For such a long time, I can't even light a fire!

He thought that when there was thick smoke, the people in the inn would scream in panic, and the people staying in the inn would flee in a hurry, but his subordinates could easily catch them by blocking several exits.That thing is so important, the connector must carry it with him, if it is hidden in the store, if the proprietress and the staff know about it, the expression will definitely reveal the clue.

As a result, I waited for a long time without waiting for the fire.

The leader of the masked man had a bad start and wanted to kill everyone in the inn directly.

As soon as he revealed his killing intent, Lady Tao felt it, her eyes flickered, and her palms were quietly retracted behind her back.

"Chop off a foot, and then take him out." The leader of the masked man said viciously.

"Which one to cut?"

The subordinates asked stupidly, the leader was so angry that he scolded: "Everyone in this inn!"

Huang Liu suddenly became ill. He suddenly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed desperately, and said, "Heroes have mercy, heroes have mercy. My family of ten or so people are all supported by small sellers. If they lose their legs, the old man will be I'm going to starve to death, please spare me!"

As he spoke, he tried to hug the thigh of the nearest masked man, but was kicked away by the other party.

Huang Liu rolled three times on the ground, curled up on the ground and cried out in pain.

Tears streamed down his face, making a mess.

The leader of the masked men suddenly laughed, this smile made people puzzled, and Lady Tao froze with the masked men.

"I just like people who think they're smart." The leader of the masked man laughed, and he stepped forward to pick up Huang Liu, who was terrified and hurriedly begged for mercy.

The leader of the masked man threw him heavily, and stretched out his hand to grope in the corner where Huang Liu was curled up just now.

Immediately, a piece of white cloth was pulled out from the crack in the plank.

Lady Tao opened her eyes wide, realizing that Huang Liu had stuffed something into the slit just now, her expression changed, and she immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly: "What is this, my God, I have never seen such a thing before, Xiao He Son, did you let it go?"

The buddy shook his head cooperatively.

The leader of the masked man looked at Huang Liu who was howling and moaning, and smiled as he unfolded the white cloth in his hand.

Then the cloth was gone.

The cloth that I held in my hand was gone in a blink of an eye and a gust of wind in my ears.

The masked leader's eyes almost fell off, and some of his subordinates even rubbed their eyes.

In a dark corner, Mo Li looked at the white cloth that he had just received, and when he opened it, he found many lines, circles, and small triangular flags drawn in charcoal.

It looks like a map.

Fortunately, people who know how to do it will come soon.

"...This is the defense map of the Qi Dynasty Navy."

Meng Qi appeared behind Mo Li at the right time, Mo Li raised his eyebrows, and asked how the situation outside was.

"They all feed the mosquitoes in the grass." Ever since he cheated the people of the Yuzhou Dragon Head Association, Meng Qi has a lot of experience in the "ultimate move" used in the wild in summer.

It's pitiful to say that the genuine dragon veins can only emit aura to attract mosquitoes, but Ayan Puka can drain the aura in a small area.

"Navy defense plan? That should be an important secret, how could it fall into the hands of a traveling businessman?" No matter how Mo Li sees Huang Liu, he doesn't look like a secret spy carefully dispatched by Jingzhou.

"This kind of thing just needs to spend more time, use more eyes, and walk around the barracks, and you can draw the same picture." Meng Qi said disapprovingly to Mo Li, "If two armies are fighting against each other, if one side occupies the superior geographical advantage and seizes the high ground, Wouldn’t the enemy’s defenses be clear at a glance? Expecting the enemy to fight without knowing their own arrangements, they will die in battle sooner or later.”

How can fighting be so simple? After knowing the distribution of strong and weak troops, you can follow the map to attack.

What if a trap is set up in a place where there are few people?

What if there are only a few elite soldiers?

Sun Tzu said, soldiers are deceitful.Therefore, what can be shown is not possible, what is used can be shown not to be used, what is close can be shown to be far, and what is far can be shown to be near.

"Planning the army, fighting a war is a process of counting more than winning. Whoever counts one more step than the other will win." Meng Qi looked at the defense map with disgust and shook his head, "Such a crude map... The real plan only exists in the hearts of the generals, no spies, no matter how powerful they are, can’t steal it away, even if they steal it, how do you know it’s not my trap? Do they dare to use it?”

Mo carp understood.

To put it simply, the generals of the Qi Dynasty smuggled goods and let a traveling businessman enter and exit the military camp, and even drew a map of the deployment. He can't even do tricks, he can only toss about killing people and setting fires.

shame.

They are all leading soldiers to fight, so how come one generation is not as good as the previous generation?Teacher Meng Guo couldn't see it anymore!

Leaving aside Meng Qi's comments, Mo Li asked intently: "So these are soldiers from the Qi Dynasty?"

"The ones in the scout battalion can scout for information, occasionally act as assassins, and basically understand some martial arts, and their skills are better than ordinary soldiers."

Then you can't just kill and set fire when you come up.

"I think it's their own initiative, and they didn't go back to report to the generals above." Mo Li figured it out. Huang Liu's smuggling of the defense map was probably not discovered by the Qi Dynasty, but by the Qi Dynasty. The scouts who came to Jiang's side found out that someone wanted to trade the defense map of the Qi Dynasty Navy during the process of inquiring about information, so they arrested the person who connected with Huang Liu and found this inn.

"I don't know what went wrong. The Wang Mazi that Huang Liu connected with died or ran away... Oh, Huang Liu mentioned this person just now. Anyway, these scouts don't know who the person who wants to trade with Wang Mazi is. , I only know that the time is tonight."

It's good to be able to catch people, and it doesn't matter if you can't. As long as the entire inn is burned down, the defense map will naturally not flow out.

Those who have seen the picture are those who crossed the river with the picture, as well as the inn proprietress and staff who may be accomplices.

Wang Mazi, who was connected, didn't come, so the defense map must still be in the inn.

——I don’t know if it’s on the person or hidden somewhere in the inn.

As a result, Huang Liu was a troublemaker, he panicked when he was bluffed, and sold himself to the bottom.

"Who?

"Who hides his head and shows his tail? Come out to me if you have the guts!"

The leader of the masked man was yelling fiercely in the lobby of the inn. While he was yelling, he retreated to the corner without a trace, leaning his back against the pillar, so that he would not be afraid of losing his life indiscriminately.

Huang Liu, who had broken his bones, was trembling. He knew he was doomed. Even if he didn't die today, Qi Chao's navy would not tolerate him.

At the critical moment, Huang Liu struggled violently and screamed, "I was ordered. Someone gave me ten taels of silver and this piece of cloth, and asked me to send it across the river. That man is very skilled in martial arts, and he can beat a stone with one palm." It's broken, the little one is greedy for money and afraid of death, so I have to go this way. The little one doesn't know anything!"

Everyone in the inn turned to look at him.

Huang Liu closed his eyes and yelled incoherently: "That man... said his surname is Meng, and he was a former national teacher."

The author has something to say: Meng Qi:? ? ? ?

Meng Qi: The person is lying next to the doctor, and the blame is flying from the other side of the river?
