Domineering lord I fall in love

Duan Xiaolou likes riding horses very much and feels comfortable.

But this time she will be side by side with Luo Sheng, because His Royal Highness Tang did not listen to the advice and only came out with three guards and a guide, and ran all the way out of the city, making Duan Xiaolou worried all the way, for fear that Luo Sheng would fall off the horse due to a bump Come down, especially when you are stopped by officers and soldiers and hurriedly rein in your horse.

Lu Li took out the voucher and said that he was ordered to come to dispatch. He said while looking at Luo Sheng, ah, my master wants to pretend to be his subordinate, and I have a headache.

Luo Sheng did not speak on the horse, observed the position of the sentry post, and hurried to the front of Xiangyang Mountain before coming down.

There is a road in front of Xiangyang Mountain. The rammed dirt road is enough for a carriage to pass. It rained a few days ago, and now there are traces of a carriage running over it.

"The order to close the mountain was issued on the [-]th, but the rain fell during the nights of the sixth and seventh day." Duan Xiaolou was dumbfounded when she heard that. She had never noticed these things, but Luo Sheng actually remembered them all.

"Someone went up the mountain on the sixth day of the lunar new year, but the officials in charge of closing the mountain didn't report it." Lu Li picked up the words in a split second, "Since the Lin family was under control, there has been no vehicle going up the mountain."

Luo Sheng nodded, and walked a little further in. Duan Xiaolou nervously held Luo Sheng's hand, fearing that she would go further inside, but Luo Sheng walked halfway along the fork in the road pointed by the guide. other hills.

"There is only one big road here, and there are many small roads, but all the small roads lead to the bend of the mountain, so you still have to take this road to go up the mountain."

"So this is the way up the mountain?"

"That's the only way." The guide was an old man, with wrinkles on his face when he smiled, with a deep sense of helplessness.

"Why not walk?"

"The woodcutters and hunters also often walk in the wild. In the past, people on the mountain used to walk up and down the big road, but now they also start to walk in the wild, and sometimes take the small road." Duan Xiaolou looked over, and there were knee-high weeds everywhere in the forest. There are still a lot of gravel and branches on the ground, the path that ordinary hunters and woodcutters can walk, and those martial arts masters are naturally no problem. It seems that the order to seal the mountain is not very useful.

The group of six people did not go up the mountain, but ran directly to the surrounding mountains. Xiangyang Mountain is the highest mountain nearby. You have to look up from several surrounding hills to see the top of the mountain. There seems to be a shed on the top of the mountain. The guide said it was a fortress. The village is not on the top of the mountain. It used to be halfway up the mountain in front, but later it was moved to the back of the mountain, in a depression connected to the green hill behind.

"When did you change the place?" Luo Sheng, who had been listening all this time, suddenly asked.

"About a year ago, the imperial court came to fight twice, and they were afraid, so they moved the cottage to the back, so that when people come again, they can see it as soon as they arrive at the sentry post on the top of the mountain..."

"That is to say, they should have seen us?" Duan Xiaolou had a bad heart and was discovered.

"They don't care down here." The guide explained, "As long as you don't reach the mountainside, no one cares, and the farmers usually go here. Although the imperial court issued an order to close the mountain, they don't care about the surrounding homes at the foot of the mountain. What are you waiting for?" When the officers and soldiers arrive, they will still eat with us.”

"Are there any people on the mountain nearby?" Duan Xiaolou asked curiously, and the guide quickly waved his hand and said, "No, as a bandit, you don't dare to make a life-threatening deal, so... there are only a few people who have nothing to do. Hooligans and lazy people... I heard that there are hundreds of people up there, and I don't know where they came from."

"Is that a pond over there? Where is that?" Duan Xiaolou's eyes were sharp, and he saw a sparkling water surface, like a jewel inlaid in the emerald green of the mountains and fields.

"Xitang is dedicated to supplying water to the mountains."

When Duan Xiaolou climbed the mountain, he also saw several springs, surrounded by lush flowers and plants, and the sound of insects and birds. He couldn't help sighing, Xiangyang Mountain is really a good place.

In the afternoon, the shade of the trees gradually became thicker, and there were more mosquitoes. Duan Xiaolou slapped at least three of the mosquitoes attached to Luo Sheng's body. Luo Sheng was also tired, so he sat down to rest and eat.Duan Xiaolou wanted to suggest going back, but also thought that Luo Sheng might have to watch something, so he held back and didn't speak.

"Tired?" Luo Sheng also noticed that Duan Xiaolou was exhausted, and asked, "Do you want to go back first?"

"Did you ask me to go back alone?" Duan Xiaolou's eyes widened. Of course they had to go back together. How could she run alone first?Luo Sheng is still here.

Luo Sheng didn't speak any more, and patted Duan Xiaolou's head.

They stayed on the mountain until it was dark, seeing that several places on Xiangyang Mountain were lit up and were still feeding mosquitoes.

When Duan Xiaolou went back, he found that a lump had been bitten on his face. Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing when he applied the ointment for her. Bite a few more bags on your face!"

"Okay, it's almost dawn, wash up and go to bed." This time Luo Sheng didn't let Duan Xiaolou go, simply washed up and fell asleep in his arms.Duan Xiaolou was so tired that he was a little confused, and he also wondered that Luo Sheng didn't go out of the gate on weekdays, and every door was carried by a sedan chair, why he walked with his brother and the others all day and insisted on staying at night What about mountain climbing?

Early the next morning, Luo Sheng was studying the map again. Duan Xiaolou yawned and sat over. He couldn't even see clearly. He admired Luo Sheng for being so energetic in the morning. After looking carefully, he found that the map It's not the same as the two I've seen before.

"Where did you get this picture of Luo Sheng? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"I ordered someone to compare the two previous map and picture books, and then make a new one based on the investigations of various spies in the past few days." Luo Sheng didn't tell Duan Xiaolou, and made a copy of the map when he got it. Send it to the spies, and they will go to the field to inspect it and mark out the places that do not meet the requirements. Yesterday, I had the herb in my hand, and I went there myself to verify the accuracy of the map.

The newly drawn map is indeed much more detailed, including main roads, trails, water sources, and guard posts everywhere besides the bandit village.

"How do you know about these sentries?"

"Didn't you pay attention to the place where the lights were lit last night?" As soon as Luo Sheng mentioned it, Duan Xiaolou remembered, no wonder he had to climb the mountain at night, so it turned out that he was looking for a place by the lights.

"But at night, who knows where it is." There were lights on in several places, but Duan Xiaolou was so tired at that time that she didn't pay attention to how many places there were. Even if she remembered, she didn't know the exact location , or no good.

"Don't worry, someone knows."

When the household registration officer came to report, Luo Sheng kicked Duan Xiaolou out again, meaning that it was against the law for female family members to participate in politics, but it was better than the previous two times. Instead of driving Duan Xiaolou away directly, he let her hide behind a pillar to eavesdrop .

It turned out that there was only one village at the foot of Xiangyang Mountain, with less than a hundred people. Yesterday I heard that those people had not moved out. Today, Luo Sheng called the household registration officer and asked them to move out. After the bandit suppression is completed, move back.

The household registration officer was a little embarrassed, and Luo Sheng asked if there were any villagers who had turned into bandits on Xiangyang Mountain. The household registration officer was even more afraid to speak now, and finally the king of Tang ordered him to tell the truth.

"Only seven people are the original residents of the mountain, and the rest are wandering bandits."

Ask again how many people there are on the mountain.

Shen Jiyun knew about the situation on the mountain. Shen Jiyun went up to Xiangyang Mountain and just came down, and was injured and rested for a long time.

"There are 700 people on Xiangyang Mountain, most of them are middle-aged men who don't know martial arts. There are more than a hundred people from various walks of life, and about 40 of them are masters. These dozens of people are divided into two parts, which belong to the Night Rain Building. And Dark Flower Villa, including 20 people from Night Rain Tower, should be their entire force in the Central Plains, and some people from Dark Flower Villa are hiding in the city.”

Not to mention that there are still some hidden in the city, the forty in the bandit village alone are not easy to deal with.

"Have you figured out the food and grass situation?"

"The springs are all in the middle of the mountain. One of the fixed water intakes is Xitang, and there is an unnamed mountain stream that flows out of a rock crevice. The location is very hidden. There are three places where food is stored. In addition to the warehouse next to the stockade, there are two other places in the back mountain. Cave."

"Is that all?"

"And..." Shen Jiyun hesitated for a moment, looked at Duan Xiaolou, and then replied, "There are also some female relatives who were arrested up the mountain."

Why do you look at her when you say this?Duan Xiaolou felt baffled.

"Thank you, go down and rest first." After hearing the situation, Luo Sheng's face darkened a lot. Duan Xiaolou tugged at his sleeves and asked, "There are so many martial arts masters, are we not enough?"

"Don't worry, someone has been called."

When Luo Sheng knew that the Dark Flower Villa and the Night Rain Tower had arrived, he had already issued a letter to gather the second batch of people. They fought in groups, how could he justify fighting naked?Furthermore, all the main forces of the Night Rain Building are here, and most of them are gathered in the Dark Flower Villa. Those people who were on strict defense before can also be transferred to Lin'an for unified dispatch.

"Would you like to go for a walk around the city?" The situation became troublesome, Luo Sheng was in a good mood, and he even pulled Duan Xiaolou to gossip, Duan Xiaolou couldn't sit still, Luo Sheng could concentrate on reading those documents, Duan Xiaolou Xiaolou felt dizzy just by looking at the cover, so he was naturally willing to go outside, but he was still a little worried, "The current situation in the city... there are many people lurking in the city in the Dark Flower Villa, it is really important for you to go out." Is it all right?"

"Isn't there you?" Luo Sheng was still leisurely pinching Duan Xiaolou's chin to tease her, Duan Xiaolou turned his head away and said seriously, "How can you make fun of your own safety? What will you do if something happens? What will happen to Lin'an? What will the world do?"

Luo Sheng's eyes darkened, and he sighed, "In this world, do you really want me to carry it on your shoulders?"

Duan Xiaolou felt sad and lost when he heard the words, Hu You felt that what he said was too serious, Luo Sheng was also a weak woman like her, a person who should have lived a carefree life under the protection of her brother, but she was carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders Dan, others take it for granted.

Tang Wang should of course be responsible for the world.

But Luo Sheng shouldn't.

Luo Sheng has thousands of reasons to avoid these.

"It's okay, I'll pick it for you too." Duan Xiaolou held Luo Sheng's hand tightly, and looked at her with bright eyes.
