Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

The tent was silent.

The Yao farmers stood there in a daze, almost forgot to move, and stared at General Yun in front of them.

"General Yunhui, Yunlang."

Bai Yuan smiled and said: "Old brother, is it him you are waiting for?"

When the middle-aged Yao Nong heard him speak, he came back to his senses and bowed down to Yun Lang.

Yun Lang took a step forward and supported him: "Uncle Wei."

The middle-aged Yao Nong raised his head, almost in disbelief: "Little General... still remember me?"

"Remember." Yun Lang said, "Shuozhou has 900 immigrants and 290 refugees. The war is raging and they are scattered. The mountain medicine farmers [-] refuse to move to the Central Plains and stick to Shuozhou City."

"290 six!"

The Yao Nong on the side couldn't help it, grinning and said: "Two big fat boys have been added! They are raised with goat milk, so heavy!"

Yun Lang helped the middle-aged Yaonong surnamed Wei up, and entered the army tent together, his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Are you naturalized?"

"not yet."

The drug farmer rubbed his head and smiled mischievously: "I shouldn't be collecting herbs all my life. We plan to ask them to recruit soldiers to join the army when they are older, and to fight with the Shuofang army, and earn some military merits to honor their ancestors..."

"Then it should be faster." Bai Yuan said with a smile, "In a few years, I'm afraid there will be no more battles to fight."

Yao Nong asked him to remind him, only to think of such an important matter, stunned: "Isn't it?! Can't be done..."

"What can't be done? There will be no wars in the future, don't you want to garrison troops? Don't you want food for the garrison?"

Someone on the side laughed loudly: "Just become a farmer, take good care of the land and grow crops!"

"That's right!" Someone said angrily, "Let's protect the good cultivated land, let those wolf cubs take it, what will it look like? Last time I went back secretly, I saw them digging up the ridges of the fields." It's ruined, I can't wait to copy the knife and go all out..."

For generations, the ancestors have reclaimed the fertile land that is the same as the lifeblood, and let others take it, but they even destroyed the foundation of the field and destroyed the fertility of the land.

Waist-high grass grows for the sheep to gnaw on. The sheep turn over the grass roots, and the soil clods are dug up, which are washed into the river by the rain.In a few years, these lands will turn into sand where only short grass can grow, completely connected with the invisible Gobi desert.

It is much more difficult to bear to see the carefully tended land being ruined in this way than to leave the country.

Some people couldn't bear it, and as soon as they raised their hands to wipe their faces, the elder Yao Nong turned around and scolded: "Why are you crying? Don't cry!"

"The little general is back, why are you crying!"

The elder Yao Nong said in a deep voice: "Wipe off the unsatisfactory things, follow the little general to fight, follow the little general to take back the house! Take back the land!"

The person being scolded was not only angry, but wiped away his tears vigorously, and straightened his waist fiercely.

"The little general just said, what do you want us to do."

The elder Yao Nong held Yunlang's arm: "In the mountains, there is no road we don't know, and there is no place we can't go up. Even the Heishigou and Baicaokou that are connected to the Yanmen Gate, we have quietly gone up... "

Bai Yuan and Jing Jian looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

"Okay." Yun Lang nodded, and sat down with him, "I just heard from a few seniors that they can sneak into Shuozhou City?"

"Yes! Those wolf cubs don't know how to defend the city at all, and they can come and go freely in the past. Recently, an old scholar came to Shuozhou City to help those golden men straighten out their defenses, so it's not easy to advance."

Just now I said that the person entering the city nodded, and then said: "You can also go in, it just takes some effort."

"Old scholar?"

Yun Lang's heart moved slightly: "Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know, I just heard that some high-ranking official in Beijing was kicked out."

The man thought about it carefully: "That's right! He also wants to open a school in Shuozhou City, called——what kind of school is it called... He said that he can teach children to read without paying a penny. Who will listen to him? A golden man is like a dog, with such soft bones, what tricks can he teach..."

Yun Lang raised his head and met Xiao Shuo's gaze.

...Try the Frost Hall.

King Xiang failed in his rebellion and fled the capital in a hurry.The Minister of Dali Temple and the three envoys fell into the hands of the emperor, and Beijing is still cleaning up the remnants of King Xiang's party with an iron fist. Many officials have been uprooted, but Yang Xianyou, a scholar of the Jixian Temple, has escaped.

He recruited wings for King Xiang's faction, forced Kaifeng Yin to bend his heart and suppress his will, told Shang Ke to roll off the nail board, threw Yun Lang into the dungeon of Dali Temple, and Yang Xianyou, who had broken bones and claws, was used by King Xiang.

"Old Yang Ge." Yun Lang said dumbly, "So it's here."

"It's easier to deal with here than in Beijing."

Xiao Shuo said: "He is good at temple battles. When it comes to battles, he can only be slightly better than the Jinren. He came to watch Shuozhou City for King Xiang, and he could barely make mistakes."

Yun Lang nodded: "King Xiang doesn't have many people in his hands now, and he can't find a court, so naturally he should make the best use of him."

"It's well used." Xiao Shuo nodded, "Let's finish it together, so as to save the inner circle of Beijing from suffering."

Yun Lang heard his voice, and smiled curiously: "Pioneer officer wants to go?"

Xiao Shuo raised his eyes and met Yun Lang's gaze without dodging or avoiding.

Yun Lang's heart moved slightly, the smile in his eyes gradually condensed into light and shadow, and he held Xiao Shuo's hand in his arms.

Xiao Xiaowangye...everyone will be punished.

In the dungeon of Dali Temple, Yang Xianyou ordered the minister of Dali Temple to be imprisoned first and then executed, almost killing Yun Lang.Xiao Shuo kept this matter in his heart, and he clearly never forgot it for a day.

"……it is good."

Yun Lang told him that his gaze was burning hot in his heart, he smiled, nodded and said, "Take someone to Shuozhou."

"Nowadays, in Shuozhou City, there will never be too many iron Buddhas left."

Bai Yuan added in a low voice: "The Jinren have a total of four Iron Buddhas, and two of them are trapped in Yingcheng. The strength of these two troops has already surpassed the original garrison in Shuozhou."

"There are at most [-] Iron Buddha Tu left."

Yun Lang knew in his mind: "The rest are the kidnapper horses. The kidnapper horses are light in outfit and excellent in riding skills. They can cooperate with the heavy armored iron pagoda to destroy the grassland cavalry...you don't have to deal with it in Shuozhou city."

"Pang Xie hasn't shown up yet, it's not just because he was delayed on the road."

Yun Lang said: "The current situation, King Xiang's faction already knows that they can't wait for the private soldiers from Xiangyang Mansion...the only way out is to find the Jinren and send Iron Buddha to rescue them."

Jing Jian frowned: "If it's done like this, will the Jinren send the Iron Buddha?"

"What if you don't send? There are still two groups in the city."

Bai Yuan shook his head: "Right now it's as difficult as a golden man riding a tiger... Of the remaining iron stupas, one is guarding the king's tent and must not be moved. If Pang Xie wants to borrow troops, he can only borrow another one."

Yun Lang was noncommittal, pondered for a while, and then turned to the elderly Yao Nong: "Uncle Ge, do you think you can go up Yanmen Pass?"

"Yes, Yanmen Pass used to be called Iron Wrapped Gate. It was not a natural pass, but it was a stone that was carved out by people."

The elder Yao Nong nodded: "The Eighteen Passes of Yanmen Gate, the northernmost Baicaokou has the most people walking, it is an ancient road. To the east of Baicaokou, there is a section of the ancient Great Wall root, which is so flooded that we can't see it. We privately They call it Monkey Ridge."

"The road to Monkey Ridge is very dangerous."

Yao Nong on the side said: "The Great Wall is so dilapidated, there is a deep ditch underneath, if you accidentally roll in, you can roll all the way to the bottom of Yanmen Pass."

"Brother, that's not a deep ditch, it's a moat."

Bai Yuan guessed Yun Lang's intention, his eyes lit up, and he explained with a smile: "It was used to garrison troops in wars before. It is most useful when advancing to charge and kill, and retreating to ambush the enemy."

"Targeting troops?" Yao Nong didn't quite understand, but only understood this word, "You want us to take the Shuofang army up there to hide?"

Bai Yuan nodded: "Can it work?"

"Of course it can be done!" Yao Nong patted his chest, "If you want to hide people in there, you can hide a lot! Horses can go in!"

"It's just that the mountain road is really difficult, and it's different from other places. It's easy to get off but hard to get on. Ordinary horses may not even dare to go up the iron-wrapped door. They must be horses that are used to running in the mountains."

The middle-aged Yao Nong said: "I don't know if the brothers in the Shuofang Army can go up or not."

"We can go up. We happen to have horses that are used to running in the mountains. Half of them have come, and the remaining half are still behind Gouzhu Mountain."

Bai Yuan laughed loudly and said: "Looking at it now, it seems like God's will! Fortunately, Beijing was going to discuss marriage with the major general..."

"..." Yun Lang coughed, and said in time: "Uncle Bai, inform Yue Shuai that the light cavalry will leave at midnight with dry rations and water."

"Okay!" Bai Yuan nodded, stood up and said, "Does the Major General have any orders?"

"Old rules, people get grass and horses get a piece of cake, cold cakes and water, no wine, no mutton."

Yun Lang said: "The knife is without a sheath, it is wrapped in cotton wool, the strings of the crossbow are picked, and the arrow feathers are on top."

Bai Yuan responded quickly, and went out to find Yue Qu to arrange the order.

Yun Lang asked several Yao farmers about some specific matters, and asked Jing Jian to take them down to rest and prepare, and set off when it got dark.

The tent was empty, Xiao Shuo walked to Yun Lang's side, put his wrist on the table, and slowly pressed several acupuncture points.

"Tell you to apply it, it's much better than before."

Yun Lang smiled: "Will you bet or not? It will rain tomorrow... This rain will not be light, I'm afraid it will make Tiefutu foolish."

"Don't gamble." Xiao Shuo took out the medicinal wine, poured out some in his palm, and slowly rubbed his wrist bones away, "I'd rather you be inaccurate about this matter."

"Looking at it now, it's better to be more accurate."

Yunlang said: "When you enter Shuozhou, when will you be able to lure the kidnapper out?"

Xiao Shuo glanced at the thin sweat on his forehead, calmly raised his hand and wiped it off: "When is the most convenient time for you to leave the city?"

"Going up the mountain in the dark, plus transporting the horses, it will take at least a whole night."

Yun Lang looked at Xiao Shuo: "Give me another half a day, and it will be completely safe."

"Before sunset tomorrow, the golden soldiers in Shuozhou City will venture out of the city to rescue the Iron Buddha in Yingcheng City."

Xiao Shuo nodded, "Pang Xieruo brought the third Iron Buddha. Seeing the flames of war, he must be very anxious. He won't have time to check carefully when he passes Yanmen Pass."

"Leave the Iron Buddha to me."

A smile floated in Yun Lang's eyes: "Guess...Which side of the Tiefutu in Yingcheng will be in a hurry to save you or me?"

"Save the Iron Buddha in your hand."

Xiao Shuo said: "You are ready to display the Liuyun flag. Jinren have never fought against Yunqi, but no one on the grassland does not recognize your flag."

Asking the little prince to guess riddles has never been interesting at all.Yun Lang was dumbfounded for a while, clenched his wrists, and nodded: "In this case, Uncle Lao Yue will lead people to guard outside the south gate of Shuozhou City, and kill the Tiefutu that came out of the city."

As soon as Yue Qu led the people to the entrance of the tent, he stopped and was furious: "Can't you wait for me to come in and say it again?!"

Yun Lang coughed, and put a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Of course I can... Is Uncle Yue married yet?"

Yue Qu: "..."

"I heard that Uncle Yue, in order to defend the Shuofang Army, cannot leave half of his handle to the Privy Council."

Yun Lang: "So up to now... still alone."

Yue Qu raised his hands and rolled up his sleeves, but was stopped by several generals hugging their waists, and whispered to persuade: "Yue Shuai, Yue Shuai..."

"At this time, the little prince is under the candle, hugging me and rubbing my hands for me."

Yun Lang was very embarrassed: "I'm afraid that Uncle Yue will see him, and he will be touched by the scene, and feel sad..."

Yue Qu made him fly into a rage, wow, took two sips of wine, and led people to guard the south gate.

Yun Lang breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off another layer of cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly lifted the curtain to let the medicine gas disperse.

He didn't want these elders to worry about him anymore, he put away Yulu Dan and Shen Guang together, and was about to get the snow bow on the table, when Xiao Shuo took hold of his arm again.

The wrist bones fit against the palm lines, rubbing them gently, and wiped away the lingering soreness and pain.

Xiao Shuo took off the sleeve arrow, fastened it to the prison for him, and brought the candle over.

Yun Lang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't hold back Yi Le: "Do this as well? If I say in the future—"

Xiao Shuo lowered his head, turned Yun Lang's palm over, and kissed him.

Yun Lang's heart skipped a beat, his words faltering.

"In the future, you say, you and I can go boating on the lake and ride horses on the top of the mountain."

Xiao Shuo said: "If today's battle is really as planned, it should be a battle of Dingding, where there are infinite dangers and opportunities. You are not alone, and you should give me a dose of light."

Yun Lang held the medicine of tiger and wolf that can stimulate human strength in his hand, his arms tensed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he handed over a jade bottle.

"It's not this." Xiao Shuo said, "You don't have to give me Yulu Pill to protect my heart, and keep two doses of Shen Guang for yourself."

Yun Lang had a headache for a while: "Why are you—"

Xiao Shuo half knelt down and met his gaze.

Yun Lang was stunned.

The little prince doesn't have to follow the etiquette in the army.But at this moment Xiao Shuo's expression was extremely calm, like any most common vanguard before a battle, with one knee in front of him, still firmly clasping his hand.

His vanguard officer, his fellow returnee.

Yun Lang stood there for a long time, then suddenly smiled in relief, passed a dose of Shen Guang, stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Shuo to stand up: "It's a bit bitter, remember to eat it with a piece of sugar."

The sea of ​​light in Xiao Shuo's eyes lifted, he held his hand together with Shen Guang's firmly, put Yun Lang on his shoulders, and pressed it against his chest.

"When the time comes to fight fiercely, I may not be able to take care of you."

Yun Lang smiled and said: "Be careful, if I run out of strength, I will come back to ask you to lift me off my horse..."

Xiao Shuo said softly, "Don't worry about me."

Yun Lang stopped talking, his eyes showed warmth and curiosity.

"Major General, just let go of the fierce battle, fight to the point of exhaustion, just let go."

Xiao Shuo kissed his eyebrows: "Wherever you rein in, within three feet, I will accompany you."
