Heaven and earth return to one

Zong Qinggong rushed to the camp ten miles away, Li Yunke ordered the soldiers to wake up You Changhe who was resting, and let him quickly lead the people to the south gate, while he found a horse at random and went first.

The south gate had already been closed, and the soldiers on the city had become more alert and were watching the movements below.Someone saw Li Yunke approaching on horseback, and immediately pointed a bow and arrow at him.

Li Yunke didn't take it seriously, seeing that many people were blocked outside the city gate, he got off his horse and asked the crowd about the situation.

"Are you asking about the soldiers who left the city?" said an old man who was resting under the city gate, "Yes, I saw it. It was because the soldiers rushed out suddenly that the city gate had to be closed urgently to prevent us from entering. .”

"Can the old man see how many of them there are?"

The old man thought about it, "How many..."

Standing beside him was a teenager in his teens, who interjected, "My grandfather didn't see it at first, but I saw it first! There were about forty or fifty, maybe fifty or sixty, I didn't count them all."

I thought it would be more than a dozen, but why did they all leave the city?Obviously there was no movement when I entered the city, how could it be so fast?

Li Yunke frowned, and asked the young man, "Then do you see where they went?"

"To the south, I heard it's Shura Mountain." The young man pointed to a tall and strong man a few steps away, "That elder brother came from that road, and he saw that group of soldiers enter the mountain with his own eyes."

It's Shura Mountain again, what on earth do they Qiujue people like there, why do they drill into the mountain every time?

Li Yunke didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, so he asked the tall and strong man again, and after finding out that he had indeed entered Shura Mountain, he got back on his horse and waited for You Changhe and others.

"I heard that they are Qiujue soldiers," said a person next to him suddenly, "Looking at this posture, don't tell me they are about to start a war?"

Everyone started to discuss, and the more they talked, the more scared they became. Finally, someone knocked on the gate of the city, telling the guards to open it quickly and let them in.

Li Yunke sighed secretly, took out his token, and threw it onto the city with all his might.

The guards were shocked, and the archers were about to shoot their arrows.Fortunately, someone saw the words on the token, shouted to stop the archer, and hurriedly ordered to open the city gate.

Li Yunke took the tokens sent back by the officers and soldiers, and told them to let the people outside the city inside, and said: "Your lord Wang said that you want to send someone over, where is the person?"

The officer and soldier said: "Back to the prince, I didn't see anyone coming, and the little ones didn't hear about it."

Wang Shuangwu's movements are too slow, right?Li Yunke frowned deeper, and said: "Go and inform your Lord Wang that the situation has changed, and tell him to gather everyone and surround Shura Mountain. None of the Qiujue soldiers inside can be let go, remember?"

The officer and soldier nodded again and again, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll go now, little one."

In the distance, a hundred elite soldiers headed by You Changhe arrived. Li Yunke rode up to meet them, and said concisely: "The Qiujue soldiers have entered Shura Mountain, let's hurry up!"

You Changhe still hasn't figured out what happened to him in the middle of sleeping for an hour or two.He didn't have time to ask in detail, he waved his hand to call all the soldiers, and hurriedly chased after Li Yunke.

It was mid-April, and the trees all over the mountain had grown thick new leaves, covering everything in the mountain.

Li Yunke was a step behind the Qiujue people, not knowing where they ran into the mountain; and Shura Mountain is too big, even if you don't need to search the east foot where the Ziming Sect is located, the rest is far from being able to be found by a hundred people over here.

Having already found out the whole story from Li Yunke, You Changhe said anxiously: "My lord, do we have to hurry up, otherwise what should we do if those dogs run away from the mountain?"

"Who knows if they are going together or in different ways? You and I don't know which direction they are going if we go together, let alone if they are separated, we will never be able to catch up." Li Yunke said.

You Changhe slapped his hands, "Why don't you set fire to the mountain?"

"What if there are civilians in the mountain?" Li Yunke disagreed, "Besides, the eastern foot of the mountain is a powerful Jianghu sect, and it is not good for us to provoke them, so don't mess around."

This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, what do you say?You Changhe scolded Li Yunke in his heart, he didn't dare to be too obvious on his face, but he was also a little unhappy and said: "Then what does the prince mean?"

"Of course, what I mean is to wait for Wang Shuangwu to send enough people to surround the mountain," Li Yunke pretended not to see his dissatisfaction, "and then ask his people to quickly notify the prefect of Tingzhou on the other side of the mountain for support. That group of Qiujue people."

You Changhe looked at the way back and forth, and snorted softly: "Then if Mr. Wang's soldiers don't come for a long time, should we just wait like this all the time without doing anything?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the first soldier report: "My lord, someone is coming!"

A large group of people soon came to the front, Li Yunke never expected that the leader was actually the servant of Wang Shuangwu's mansion.

The servant bowed to him and said: "My lord, now the whole city has been completely messed up because of the Qiujue soldiers, and there is a need for officers and soldiers everywhere. My lord can't spare so many people for the lord. These 300 people were first transferred to emergency."

Li Yunke narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

"Oh, by the way, my lord also said," the servant said to himself, regardless of his expression, "He has sent someone to inform the Zuojin government office to cooperate fully, and the group of people will not be able to escape. Please, my lord." Don't worry."

After all this tossing, it was already dark.

Li Yunke heard You Changhe's stomach rumbling several times, and couldn't help but look at him.

You Changhe said awkwardly: "The prince's instruction..."

Li Yunke thought for a while, and said: "Since Mr. Wang has handed over the news, there is no fear of people running away. You... what is your name?"

Seeing him pointing at himself, the servant responded, "Little man Shi Erfu."

"Well, tell the soldiers you brought, to surround the mountain." Li Yunke stretched out his hand and rowed along the foot of the mountain, "300 people, surround as far as you can, if you find someone going down the mountain, report immediately."

Shi Erfu took a peek at him, then lowered his head again, "I obey."

When he went down to deliver Li Yunke's order, You Changhe asked, "My lord, what about us?"

Li Yunke said: "We can't be sure whether the group of people left the city to escape, or whether they planned to lead us into the mountain and destroy them in one fell swoop. In case they set up an ambush and waited for us to go, Heijinshan would be bad for us that day. Too bad."

"So what the lord means..." You Changhe understood, but didn't say it directly.

"There are people around the mountain, so we won't miss this night," Li Yunke glanced at the dark mountain, and said, "Brothers are also tired and hungry, let everyone have a good rest, and go to the mountain to search tomorrow morning."

When You Changhe was talking about his belly drum again, his old face could no longer hold back, so he agreed and left in a hurry.

Li Yunke stood there for a moment, staring at Shi Erfu who was gesticulating in the distance and a group of soldiers he brought, and felt that something was wrong after seeing Wang Shuangwu in the daytime.He thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a result. When he saw the light of the fire, he stopped embarrassing himself and walked over to wait for someone to bring something to eat.

This time I'm going to study Luoshan again, I wonder if I have a chance to meet that person again?Li Yunke thought about it, and his steps became much lighter.

Early the next morning, Li Yunke ate something with everyone, then abandoned his horse and went into the mountain.

The footprints of the group of Qiuju people who advanced into the mountain yesterday are still there. They chased the footprints all the way to the depths of the mountain, but they never saw a single person.The footprints have not been scattered, so the group of people must still be together.

"How far did they go?" You Changhe wiped the sweat from his forehead. "If they just want to escape, they just go over the mountain. What are they doing here?"

Li Yunke looked around and said, "Perhaps I really have to answer my second conjecture last night - tell the brothers to be careful, the Qiujue may attack us."

You Changhe was stunned by what he said.

Li Yunke looked at the dark sky, "Tell the brothers to stop and drink some water to catch their breath, and then we should hurry up, otherwise the footprints will disappear when it rains later."

You Changhe went to order to rest, when Li Yunke heard two melodious birdsong.The voice was very pleasant, but it rose in the middle and fell at the end, which was a little special.

No one around paid attention to it, only Li Yunke knew that it was not a bird song, but a brother of Youqi Eighteen Guards who blew it out with a purple bamboo whistle.He used it as an excuse to relieve himself, and walked towards the source of the sound alone.

After walking a little further, hiding behind a big tree with luxuriant branches, Li Yunke lowered his voice and said, "Come out."

Jumping down from the tree, a handsome man wearing the same black gown as Kang Hui, bowed to Li Yunke on one knee and said, "Shao Shang has seen the master."

Li Yunke stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Is there something urgent?"

Qin Shaoshang said: "Yesterday, my subordinates were ordered to keep an eye on Mr. Wang. On the way there, I saw more than 50 Qiujue soldiers running across the road neatly equipped. They came from the direction of the government office. At that time, there were not many soldiers Thinking about it, but before evening, he asked someone to bring three hundred soldiers to support the prince, and his subordinates discovered something suspicious."

"How to say?"

"There is a tunnel in his backyard. Those 300 people all came out of the tunnel. The last few got out before they could change their clothes. The subordinates hid in the dark and saw that they had tiger tattoos on their chests."

Li Yunke looked at him in surprise.

Qin Shaoshang lowered his head, "This subordinate knows that the news should be sent to the master earlier, but I heard that there are still people in the tunnel who have not come out, and I am worried about what will happen there, so I waited until Shaojun came to replace me. I just came to see the master."

Li Yunke smiled, "So it wasn't the Qiujue people who wanted to kill Wang Shuangwu, but Wang Shuangwu defected to Qiujue."
