Aggrieved Fish Sprite

There is no moon tonight, and even the wind has stopped.

A group of people holding torches are walking through the ravine.

They fanned out, seemingly searching for something, in order.

Not wearing armor, not playing banners, shouting and drinking, like a quack.

It was precisely because there was too much movement that the people in Shimo Village discovered it. If they were well-trained elite soldiers, they would not be so alarming. Before the people arrived, the voice had already spread far away.

These people groped their way in the dark, cursing.

"This doesn't seem to be the Yongzhou dialect." Meng Qi was sitting behind a boulder, holding a small half of a cake in his hand.

Shimo Shanzhai's cakes are very fragrant, especially after the skin is softened by the broth, it is very crispy to the bite.

Mo Carp's ears moved slightly, and he accurately distinguished the sound of chewing and chewing from the noise. He couldn't help shaking his head, trying to get rid of the image of a gerbil holding food and gnawing seriously in his mind.

"Why did you bring out the food?"

"...I ate half of it, so I can't let it go."

Meng Qi was surprised, didn't the doctor always persuade him to eat and sleep?Why do you have something to eat now, the doctor still has opinions?

Forget it, maybe I don't like eating while walking, it is said that it is not good for the body.The doctor's words are all reasonable, Meng Qi thought tolerantly, and then speeded up the speed of eating cakes.

Ink Carp: "..."

If he didn't know about Meng Qi's temper, Doctor Mo almost thought that someone was trying to make things difficult for him, why did he get more and more aggressive?

Obviously there is only a small piece of cake, but there is no end to it.

Mo Li turned his head to look, and suddenly found that the pancakes in Meng Qi's hands were bigger than the ones just now. What a ghost, could it be that the more you eat, the more pancakes you eat?

Before Mo Li had time to ask, Meng Qi naturally raised the cake in his hand and asked, "I brought the untouched cake on your table too, doctor, do you want it? I'll give you half of it?"

"..."

Mo Li turned his head back expressionlessly, ignoring Meng Qi.

——I always feel that someone can eat and sleep after being transformed into a gerbil twice.

After Meng Qi finished eating, he leaned close to Mo Li and looked out, only to see the torch passing continuously in the distance.

"Do you see where it came from?" Doctor Mo asked.

"Although these Jianghu people are rude, but the search for the mountain is decent. Maybe you should ask the big master if there are any strangers in the cottage recently, or if there are any treasures in the depths of Shimo Mountain."

Meng Qi had led soldiers and fought in battles, so he could see that this group of uninvited guests wanted to find a way to the village.

After a while, the big boss also came.

Hearing Meng Qi's words, he immediately felt worried and said: "We don't have any of these two situations in Shimo Village, unless it's those bastards from Chimo Mountain during the day who make trouble, but they are desperate, how can they find such a force? "

"It may be that these forces have found them..."

Mo Li stared at the place where the fire was brightest for a while, then lowered his voice and said to Meng Qi: "There are some people in Taoist robes over there."

At this time, at the place where the torches were lit, a Taoist held the compass in his hand, compared it with the map, and said happily: "It's near here! We are very close, we must find the hidden dragon's lair!"

The people around coerced his promise.

The distance was too far, and Mo Li couldn't hear what these people were saying.

"Brother Meng stay here, I'll go take a look."

Meng Qi pulled him back and insisted: "Let me do it. The doctor is a genius doctor. I guess he has never done anything like spying on information."

"No, it's too dangerous. There are many people on the other side...and it's dark and dark, and you don't know the way. How can you find it?"

Meng Qi shook his head, supported Mo Li's shoulders with both hands, and pressed hard again, as if he had pawned something here and he would go back and forth, calmly performing lightness kung fu and disappearing into the night.

The corner of Mo Li's mouth twitched, feeling that someone was imitating "Warming Wine and Killing Hua Xiong".

—and he was the glass of wine.

The head of the family has an inexplicable expression, he doesn't understand what kind of mystery this is, and he has the safety of the cottage in his heart, so he can only keep an eye on the movements of the unexpected guests outside.

Meng Qi passed several people along the way, because his lightness skill was very high, and his figure hidden under the torch was not clear, those people could only feel a gust of wind, or they thought it was other people who searched the mountains.

He quietly approached the brightest part of the torch.

In the dark night, people standing under the light of fire are like targets.

Based on this sloppiness, Meng Qi was sure that these people were not from the army, nor were they sober-minded Jianghu people.

When Li Yuanze set up an army to conquer the world, because there were too many capable people among his colleagues, Meng Qi could only be ranked seventh among advisers, and Meng Qi was also in the same position among generals.

If only the fourteen heroes who founded the country are counted, Meng Qi can only be hung at the end.Among Li Yuanze's army, naturally there will not be only fourteen people who can work, so Meng Qi seems to be at the top of the list, belonging to his confidants.

It's just that the military affairs assigned to Meng Qi's place are often not noticed.

He must not be the sole commander of the wing army; and it is rarely his turn to assist the commander of the wing army.

Because he is not very proficient in government affairs, it is not Meng Qi's business to be stationed in the rear.

What Meng Qi did most was to lead the army to meet others, or to join forces with others to be a vanguard, or to supervise the food road in the rear.Because Meng Qi belongs to the kind of person that he can't take great achievements, but will never make small mistakes.

With him here, everyone will feel at ease.

Especially guarding the fortress that hoards food and grass, such a job is often his job when the battle is in full swing.

Meng Qi neither drank alcohol nor had sex with women, let alone listened to one side and believed in another, and acted rashly. He let the enemy army surround the city tightly, scolded all eighteen generations of his ancestors, and would not send troops if he said he would not send troops.

——Eighteen generations of ancestors didn't exist at all, so if you scold casually and get angry a little, the gerbils lose.

If you want to attack the city, you can come, if you want to use strategy, you can do it when you see the trick, and you will not be arrogant or impetuous.

When he was a vanguard general, he didn't fight fiercely and make meritorious deeds, but observed the enemy's forces.

Meng Qi has good eyesight, resourcefulness, and the ability to protect himself. He is not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, and he doesn't like to take credit from others, so he has a good relationship with all the advisers and generals, and occasionally he can help persuade him Conflicting colleagues.

Li Yuanze trusted this subordinate very much, because what Meng Qi could do alone, other counselors could not do alone, and neither could other generals.It seems dispensable, but it is indispensable.

At that time, Meng Qi also had a light cavalry under his command. They were good at running to send messages, and they were good at using bows and arrows. They could climb city walls and cliffs without horses.

Inquiring about news is indeed Meng Qi's forte.

——It has nothing to do with the gerbil listening to the corner.

Taking a casual look, Meng Qi found seven or eight flaws in the formations listed by these people. According to his previous habits, it would not be difficult to break through one by one.If they hadn't been beaten so hard that they fled with their heads in their arms, they wouldn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and a group of mobs would dare to shame him in front of him.

"Tsk."

Meng Qi thought regretfully, but he was alone now.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she can only come by herself without soldiers.

Under the light of the torch, the person who gave the orders was about forty years old, his face was flushed, and he was very dignified.

And the Taoist beside him, with a goatee, kept fiddling with the compass in his hand.

"Tell me, how far is the cottage from here?"

The man who was questioned by the red-faced leader was dressed in shabby clothes, knelt down tremblingly, and begged for mercy: "The villain really doesn't know. The villain is just a shopkeeper. Every time he comes back to the stockade, he is blindfolded. Besides... let's talk about those people It's weird, and I don't dare to look at it."

He cried so much that his tears and nose were muddy, and he tossed and said that every time he entered the mountain, he only went to the nearby mountain, and as long as he found a branch on the cliff to light a fire, the people from Shimo Village would come out to help him.

In front of the cliff is this maze-like ravine, which is full of large and small stones.

The ground is full of ravines and boulders are uneven, blocking the line of sight.

It is difficult for people to tell the direction.

"...Every time I get here, I still have to walk for more than half an hour. It's winding, and I don't know if those people have made a detour." let go.

"Didn't you come to look for the cottage yourself?" Someone asked forcefully.

"How dare you!"

The peddler couldn't tell how hard he was. If it wasn't for the famine years, he would never have set foot in Shimoshan again.Later, every time I go out, I have to go to the temple to worship, lest I be eaten by monsters.

His ramblings have always been regarded as a joke by the neighbors.

Who would have thought that a group of evil stars would come this year, they couldn't help but tie him up and leave, and he was asked to lead the way.

That Taoist priest spoke in a strange way, and looked very scary. Could it be that they wanted to go into the mountains to catch monsters?

The shopkeeper's mind was confused, and he shrank back and didn't dare to move.

The red-faced leader scolded angrily and told people to climb to the top of the boulder to look in the direction.

Hundreds of them came, and after they entered the ditch, it was like a stone thrown into a river and lake, and it couldn't make any waves at all.Shigou covers a vast area, and it is useless to find the way.

After waiting for a while, someone finally climbed up the boulder, held a torch and looked ahead, but saw a steep mountain wall.

There is a cliff on the left, and a dark forest on the right. Most people think that the way out is on the right.

The Taoist goatee held his compass, hesitating.

"Taoist Sang, look...there is no light at all this night, why don't you come to the dragon's lair tomorrow?"

"Duke Qing doesn't know that the so-called hidden dragon's lair must be explored at night, and you need to see the bullfighting spirit, which is above Ziweiyuan." The Taoist stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "The dragon veins of the Lu family in the Qi Dynasty have been confirmed to be in Yongzhou. , Patriarch Qingwu has done thirteen ceremonies, and he has pinned down this dragon. He has contributed to the king of heaven, and as long as we find the hidden dragon lair, we can use his arrangement for our own use. When the king of Wu returns to the court , just around the corner."

Hearing this, the leader frowned and asked, "How did Daoist Sang determine that the Yinlong Cave is in Shimo Mountain?"

"I look at the topographical map of Yongzhou, only the surrounding area is flat, and there is only one mountain, which is exactly the momentum of the dragon. The so-called dragon sees the head but does not see the tail. This does not mean that the tail of the dragon cannot be found, but only a scaled claw can be glimpsed."

Daoist Hu Daoist of the Goat said plausibly, "Although the mountain of Shimo Mountain is not steep, it is intricate and complicated when you enter the mountain. Yongzhou has been dry for several years and the surrounding area is barren. Only here is full of vitality, isn't it?"

Meng Qi: "..."

According to what the doctor said, Shimo Mountain has a source of water, so it will naturally be alive.

At first, Meng Qi thought that this Taoist would say that there was spiritual energy here.

Dao Sang sighed: "The Hidden Dragon's Cave is very important. I didn't expect it to be taken by a group of bandits. Maybe they are the people left by Qingwu Patriarch to guard the Dragon's Cave. In order not to do anything bad, these bandits must be killed. clean."

"This... the dragon's lair sees blood, is there any hindrance?"

"It's okay, we are here to break the dragon's veins, not to revitalize them." Sang Daochang swung his whisk and snorted coldly, "The underworld priests, headed by Zhao Zangfeng, the patriarch of Qingwu in Yongzhou, actually wants to help that humble-born Heavenly Scholar Wang Duolong is trying to build momentum, he really doesn't know what is good or bad! Emperor Lu Zhang of the Qi Dynasty is a chaotic minister and a villain, and we are doing justice for the sky this time, to bring order out of chaos!"

"Sang Daochang is right."

The goatee Taoist laughed, and also praised the red-faced leader, saying: "Duke Qing has made great achievements, is loyal and courageous, received a letter from Jiangnan, and personally led his men to Yongzhou to facilitate this great event. You also deserve the first credit in front of the King of Wu. "

"It's easy to say." The red-faced leader was very proud, and ordered loudly, "Take the rope and nails, and chisel stones for traction."

The top of the rock is very smooth due to the wind and the sun, and there is a distance between the stones. If you want to walk on the stone with light work, few people in the world can do it.

Obviously, this mob can only use stupid methods.

They stumbled and knocked on the stone to pull the rope, leaving someone on the top of the stone to confirm the direction. They were so busy that they went all the way to the forest on the right side of the stone ditch.

Meng Qi left without a sound, he didn't go to the right.

Shimo Shanzhai is not on the right.

There is a hidden place on the mountain wall in front of the end of the stone ditch. The surrounding rocks are so rugged that you can’t see the light at first. You have to get close to find a way. Only one person can pass. This is the entrance to the trail leading to Shimo Village.

When the ink carp led the gerbils, they didn't take this path, but stepped over the boulders, and then directly turned over this huge, almost vertical, steep mountain wall.

High Qinggong is so unreasonable, what is the maze, I didn't find it at all.

Behind this mountain wall are two more peaks. On one of them is the pine forest where the ink carp and the gerbils rest. You can go up the mountain from the trail. Now standing in the forest and looking down, you can clearly see that the torches have shifted. Direction, go to the right.

The big master breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Qi came back quickly, and Mo Li didn't care how long he had stood in the cold night, so he asked, "Who is it?"

"It's an alchemist who works for King Wu in the south."

Meng Qi said in a deep voice, "This group of people believe that there is a hidden dragon cave in Shimo Mountain that can destroy the Qi Dynasty, and they believe that it is the location of the Shimo Village hidden in the mountain that no one knows. I don't think they will stop until they find the place. of."

The head of Shimo and several people in the village opened their mouths wide, with strange expressions.

"...There are dragons under our feet?"

"Bullshit, there are only man-eating worms here! They were slaughtered by me!" the boss said angrily.

Mo Li shook his head at Meng Qi, denying that there were dragon veins here.

"The visitors are not kind. In order to cut off the so-called dragon veins, they not only want to occupy the Shimo cottage, but also don't plan to keep alive!" Meng Qi said decisively, "You need to make a decision as soon as possible, whether it is to escape or escape. Fight, you need to hurry up."

The head slapped the tree trunk with his palm, and several cracks appeared on the bark. His eyes were tearing and he said, "Why are you running away? Where can we go? Where else can we shelter? Of course we have to fight!"
