Open the Simple Mode After Wearing the Book - Chapter 82
The night before the arrival of the grain and grass, Mr. Mo went up the mountain with the password given by Wu You.
It turned out that Mr. Mo knew the secret code of the bandit and the route to the bandit’s cottage, but no matter how well he hid it, Liniang still became suspicious of him.
Because of this, Liniang adjusted the password and the camp location, and told the bandits to be careful of Mr. Mo.
Fortunately, she was caught by Zhao Qingzi soon after the adjustment, and she was also caught with information.
Master Mo looked for the dark line and approached the camp carefully, and then the bright white moonlight, this mountain road was considered to be easier to walk. Walking all the way, Master Mo finally saw the fire in front of him.
He was overjoyed, knowing that he had found the right place.
The mountain bandits, or the private soldiers in the ambush of the Yu Dynasty also discovered Mr. Mo, and they instantly became vigilant and shouted: “Who!”
Master Mo raised his hands, “It’s me! Mo Lianlang! Please let the little brother inform the village owner that I am here by order.”
The bandit guarding the village was a little hesitant when he saw that it was Mr. Mo, but knowing this dark line, maybe he really regained the trust of the Lord.
Master Mo grinned, “Alas! Okay, please hurry up little brother, I have something important to report.”
The gangster promised to go to the village. The other gangsters who didn’t leave were still staring at Master Mo. Master Mo saw that there were countless archers above the village gate. Aim at him.
Once there is something wrong with him, these archers can shoot Mr. Mo into a sieve.
Mr. Mo was cautious on the surface, but he was thinking about the best way to do it later. Seeing this situation, the people in the cottage should take precautions against him.
The gangster who reported the letter came back shortly after, “The boss said you can go in.”
It seems that the first step of the plan has been completed. Master Mo thanked the bandits as usual, and then followed the bandits who led the way into the stockade.
Put it tightly.
Master Mo quietly observed the surroundings, but he didn’t see the water source here. I think this village gate should be far away from the water source, so it’s easy to handle.
Following all the way, Mr. Mo finally met the boss of the bandits. The leader of the bandits looked a little different. He didn’t look like a bandit, but a young general.
The leader of the mountain bandit saw Mr. Mo and smiled: “How come Mr. Mo is free to come to my place as a guest, is there any order from the Lord?”
Master Mo was familiar with the bandit leader, he pretended to be nervous and replied: “Yes, now the war between the two dynasties is about to end, and the situation of Yu Chao’s continuous retreat is very bad, the Lord knows Recently, Daxin has a batch of grain and grass to pass by this road, so I was specially sent to let me know.”
The leader of the mountain bandit waved his hand and didn’t care: “I already know about this matter, I don’t bother the Lord, I don’t know where the Lord is recently? Why can’t I contact her?”
Master Mo was startled, but his face remained calm. He remembered what Wu You had explained, so he said with doubts on his face: “Don’t the general know? The Lord is now in Jiangdu. .”
As soon as the title of general came out, the leader of the mountain bandit couldn’t hold back his surprise: “The Lord trusts you so much now.”
Yes, the leader of this mountain bandit is a general of Yu Chao, but most of the other bandits under him are desperados from Daxin.
Master Mo continued to fool: “Thanks to the Lord’s love, I have sent my wife and daughter to the capital to be taken care of by the Lord, but I didn’t expect the coach to go to the Lord again.”
Although he was a little suspicious, the mountain bandit leader lowered his vigilance towards Master Mo. He patted the armrest of the stool, then stood up and walked in front of Master Mo.
The leader stretched out his hand, “Then wish us a happy cooperation, I will definitely rob the food and grass. Who is the general responsible for receiving this batch of food and grass this time?”
“It’s Wu Zhan’s daughter Wu You, this kind of child general will definitely not lose to her.”
Although Master Mo brought him such a high hat, the leader was not carried away, he sat back on the stool in front of the hall, “Master Mo is a little too confident, according to me As far as I know, what Wu You lacks compared to Wu Zhan is experience, are you trying to harm me?”
The leader seemed to be joking with Mr. Mo, but Mr. Mo knew in his heart that he was indeed suspicious, Mr. Mo respectfully replied: “The villain does not dare, the villain just thinks that Wu You really doesn’t need it. Care, there is force but no brains.”
The leader saw that he looked sincere and did not seem to be fake, he smiled twice and said, “Mr. Mo has worked hard to go up the mountain. If nothing happens, I will send someone to take you back.”
This is planning to drive people away, Master Mo knelt down in a hurry, and said in a sad voice: “Don’t hide the general, the Jinzhou government has already become suspicious of me, and I have nowhere to go. I beg your lord to take me in! If I go down now, it will be a dead end.”
The leader was surprised, “How could you be discovered by the government?”
The friendship between the leader and Mr. Mo is also a transaction relationship. Mr. Mo is responsible for transmitting information, he is responsible for hijacking the caravan and hostages, and then the intercepted gold and silver goods will be distributed to Mr. Mo as a reward.
However, this person came alone, and he matched the code, so there shouldn’t be much suspicion.
The leader thought about it for a while, and felt that helping was just a matter of convenience, so he nodded and agreed: “Okay, I’ll help with this, you go with them first.”
Master Mo gratefully followed them down.
Although he stayed in the village, the leader was not very worried about Mr. Mo, so he sent someone to guard outside the door of Mr. Mo’s room, saying it was protection, but in fact he was guarding.
The leader is smart, but it doesn’t mean that the bandits under his command are smart. Master Mo knows that these people like to drink, and he will get the guards drunk.
Master Mo thought about it, and quietly moved these wines to a place not too far from Zhaimen.
After finding the place where the hostages were being held, he put on the clothes of the bandit, disguised his face again, and then stepped forward to speak to the bandit guarding the hostage: “Brothers, you have worked hard, you first Go and rest, I’ll watch over here.”
The guarding gangster was a little sleepy and couldn’t keep his eyes open. He didn’t think much about seeing someone coming to help, patted Mr. Mo on the shoulder and yawned: “Then trouble brother is you.”
“No trouble, you’re so sleepy, go to sleep.”
Watching the bandit go away, Mr. Mo put away the smile on his face, he looked at this small cell, which was full of hostages, young and old.
Master Mo let them out and took them all the way to avoid, but there is only one gate to get out of this cottage, so I still have to break through.
He turned to the hostages and said, “I’ll hold them back later. You follow the route I said and keep going down the mountain. When you reach the bottom of the mountain, a female general in red will come to meet you.”
The hostages nodded to show their understanding. After Master Mo finished explaining, he rushed up with the pre-hidden wine in one hand and a wooden stick in the other.
The gangsters just thought that Mr. Mo was drunk and crazy. One of the gangsters laughed and said, “You can’t drink enough, Lao Mo. That’s all.”
Master Mo didn’t answer, he threw the wine jar at the gate of the village, and then swung a stick to knock over a bandit.
The rest of the gangsters didn’t react, they shouted angrily: “Mo, you are crazy!”
Master Mo didn’t say a word, just smashed the remaining wine jar at the gate and wall of the village while waving a stick.
The gangsters worked together to stop Mr. Mo, but no one was paying attention to the door for the time being, and the hostages took advantage of this stall to escape quietly.
“The hostage is gone! This guy is a traitor!”
The bandits woke up like a dream, and some archers wanted to draw their bows to shoot the fleeing hostages, but they were kicked off the tower one by one by Mr. Mo.
“Never mind those hostages! Take out this traitor first!”
The gangsters rushed up, but Mr. Mo had some skill, and the gangsters could not do anything about him for a while.
Master Mo was swinging his bat and trying to beat back a bandit close to him, when he suddenly flew out with a pain in his chest.
The gangsters shouted happily: “Boss!”
After the leader kicked Mr. Mo away, the expression on his face looked very angry: “Mo Lianlang! How dare you deceive this general!”
Master Mo struggled to sit up from the ground, he couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of blood, but his face was smiling, as if he couldn’t support his body, Master Mo put a stack of them back , and finally leaned against the wall: “It’s you who is so deceitful, it’s my fault!”
This statement angered the leader even more. He flew and stepped on Mr. Mo’s chest: “How do you know the secret code of the Lord, where is the Lord now! Say it!”
Master Mo spit out another mouthful of blood, he laughed and taunted: “Your lord is already on his way, she will meet you in Yama Hall.”
The leader was furious, he tried to calm himself down, and smiled: “Why did Mr. Mo go up the mountain to save these hostages, why do you suddenly want to be a hero? But do you know that these hostages will It’s also your credit for being here.”
This is true. After all, the information about the businessmen and the government’s suppression of bandits was revealed to them by Mr. Mo.
Master Mo no longer speaks.
The leader stepped on his chest again and said: “Master Mo, is this trying to atone?”
“No, I’m just for revenge. You promised not to hurt my son, but you still regret it!”
Master Mo suddenly became crazy.
The leader stepped on it again and sneered: “Who told your good son to want to expose our secrets, he didn’t die, could it make me and my brothers die?”
Mo Ziyi wanted to go to the capital instead of his father. One purpose was to cut off the connection between his father and Liniang, and the other purpose was to go to Beijing to surrender and take his father’s sins on himself.
Because this matter is beneficial to Daxin, and now the emperor is benevolent, the rest of the Mo family will not be affected.
It’s a pity that the maid Qiuhua beside him is also from Liniang, so Mo Ziyi lost his life.
Master Mo was furious, he pouted at the leader: “You will go to hell! You will go to hell!”
“Master Mo said, even if you want to go to hell, you will go down before me!”
After saying this, the leader planned to deal with Mr. Mo, and suddenly a bandit shouted: “Boss is not good! Someone is attacking!”
The leader was in a cold sweat. He no longer entangled with Mr. Mo, and took the people from the village to fight with the soldiers led by Wu You.
Watching the figure of the leader gradually go away, Mr. Mo smiled, and the tears flowed down with a smile, his voice was weak: “Ziyi, father, is it not ashamed to you, Father listened to you, can father come to you, but I should go to hell, I should not be able to find you…”
“If my father listened to your words and let go of everything, would the ending be different? If I had known this, I shouldn’t have been blinded by money.”
“Sorry Madam, sorry Ziyi, I…”
The night was dark, and the sound of killing was loud outside. No one cared about the man who was leaning against the wall. He seemed to be talking to himself, but unfortunately no one would respond to him.
This cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain is high, and it is difficult to climb up. Wu You is a little worried.
Su Yanxue stood behind Wu You and looked at the bandit above with hatred in her eyes.
Wu You turned to look at Su Yanxue, and saw that she was holding a large bow in her hand, an arrow on her back, and her eyes were fixed on the direction of the cottage.
Wu You touched her head.
Su Yanxue looked at Wu You, knowing that she was comforting herself, she smiled again: “Sister, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Is it really okay? Wu You was a little unconvinced, but she wanted to take her to witness the ending with her own eyes, as an explanation to her.
Master Mo told Wu You to leave him alone before going up the mountain.
“The thieves are hiding in the stockade. If they attack by force, there will be a lot of losses. I plan to use fire attack. If you see any gangsters who escaped from the stockade, kill them with arrows. “
Su Yanxue looked at Wu You, then turned to look at Shanzhai, she smiled lightly: “I see, sister, I will not let them escape, don’t even think about any of them. .”
Wu You was in a complicated mood, and finally just said: “Well, I believe in you.”
After instructing Su Yanxue, Wu You shouted at the soldiers who were fighting with the bandits: “Retreat!”
The soldiers retreated when they heard Wu You’s order. The bandits thought they had won and wanted to pursue the victory, but were stopped by the sudden rain of arrows.
In desperation, the gangsters could only retreat to the village. Seeing the rapid deterioration of the situation, the leader of the mountain gangsters felt remorse.
The leader saw Wu You who was giving orders in the distance at a glance. Knowing that she was the leader of this group of soldiers, he flashed a calculation in his eyes, grabbed the bow and arrow of the bandits around him, aimed at Wu You and shot it. .
Su Yanxue paid close attention to every bandit in the village, and aware of the leader’s purpose, she bent a bow and shot an arrow to deflect the leader’s dark arrow.
Seeing that the attack was not successful, the leader fired several arrows at Wu You, but unfortunately they were all missed by Su Yanxue. The other bandits also reacted and shot arrows at the place where Wu You stood.
Wu You pulled Su Yanxue to hide behind the tree, and then Wu You instructed the archer who was ready to be there, “According to the original plan! Let the arrows go!”
“Yes! General!”
These wine jars were destroyed when I just fought with Mr. Mo.
The leader’s eyes were splitting, and he shouted angrily: “Mo Lianlang!”
Unfortunately, no matter how he roared, it was useless. Master Mo fell on the wall not far from the village gate. .
Master Mo heard the leader’s roar, he chuckled lightly, and his voice was barely audible: “Deserving it.”
The cottage has fallen, and the leader no longer wants to escape from the secret door.
Su Yanxue has been paying attention to the movement of the bandits. Seeing that the leader seems to want to escape, she took off the arrow on her back and aimed at the leader, and then shot an arrow at it.
The leader suddenly felt a little flustered, he turned his head to hide, an arrow flew past his cheek, a burning pain came from his face, and the leader only sweated coldly.
Seeing that the arrow was not successful, Su Yanxue no longer delayed, and she shot a few more arrows.
The leader dodged and was shot in the throat by an arrow. After spitting out a few syllables of unknown meaning, he fell from a height and fell into the sea of fire.
The mountain bandits had no leader, so it was even more chaotic. Some panicked and ran down the mountain. Unfortunately, they did not escape Su Yanxue’s arrow. If they were lucky, they would be killed by the soldiers led by Wu You. .
The mountain bandits who have troubled Daxin for many years just disappeared from the world.
The matter is a foregone conclusion, Wu You squinted to the back, her voice could not hear the joy or anger: “After watching such a good show for so long, is General Zhang still hiding?”
Su Yanxue was taken aback. She looked back but found that she didn’t see anyone. Just as she was about to ask Wu You what was going on, a man’s voice came out.
“As expected of the daughter of General Wu Zhan.”
Zhang Wenli slowly walked out from behind the tree. He has always liked to wear black clothes, and now it is even more difficult to find in the night.
Wu You smiled: “The general has raised his love, and my father is not as good as Sister Ling.”
Seeing her mention Zhang Wenqi, Zhang Wenli’s expression stiffened, and then he said, “I love you.”
Su Yanxue didn’t know Zhang Wenli, but she could guess his identity from Wu You’s conversation with him, “Is this the helper invited by my sister?”
On the contrary, Zhang Wenli was here to make trouble. He followed Mr. Mo all the way up the mountain, but it was a pity that he was not familiar with the mountain bandit and could not get in.
Then Wu You and others came up again, and Zhang Wenli hid.
Wu You was amused when she saw Su Yanxue’s ignorant look, she habitually rubbed Su Yanxue’s head: “No, this is a guest, my sister will invite him to drink later tea.”
Zhang Wenli felt that there was something in Wu You’s words, and he didn’t know Wu You’s purpose, so he smiled and wanted to shirk: “No, there is no way for the younger generation to invite tea, I will go back now, don’t bother Wu The general is bothered.”
After saying that, I want to go straight down the mountain.
Wu You looked at his back and said, “General Zhang should also know that I brought two personal guards here in Jinzhou. Do you know where the other one is?”
Zhang Wenli stopped, his intuition was a little wrong, “What does General Wu mean?”
Wu You looked at him: “North of Jinzhou City, the third floor of Tongfu Inn.”
This is where Zhang Wenli lives temporarily, his wife and daughter are still there.
Zhang Wenli’s face was instantly pale, and he stiffened: “What do you mean?”
Wu You retracted the sword and sheathed it, “I just want to ask General Zhang not to make any more troubles. I know you have grudges in your heart, but if you dare to stop us again, I will not be polite.”
Zhang Wenli seemed to calm down, and he mocked: “I didn’t expect that General Wu Zhan would give birth to a daughter like you.”
Wu You didn’t care about his ridicule, but Su Yanxue couldn’t bear it, she scolded: “Be careful what you say! If you dare to speak to my sister like this, I will beat you all over the place. !”
Wu You demolished: “You can’t beat her.”
Su Yanxue was a little embarrassed, then smiled and said, “Sister is right!”
But the way my sister threatened just now is so handsome!
Seeing Su Yanxue staring at her all the time, her eyes are full of admiration, Wu You can’t bear it, she doesn’t know why this girl admires her so much.
He sighed helplessly: “It’s over, let’s go back!”
Su Yanxue agreed to follow Wu You down the mountain, and when she passed by Zhang Wenli, she made a special face: “Slightly!”
Zhang Wenli clenched his fists and didn’t say a word, until after Wu You and others left, he ran all the way down the mountain to the city.
“Sister, is that person just now the younger brother of Marshal Zhang? But why are you threatening him?”
Wu You replied as he walked: “Yes, there are some things that children know too much is not good.”
Su Yanxue knew that Wu You did not want to explain, so she did not continue to ask, and turned to see that there was still fire on the mountain, and the ashes of the burning grass were blown over.
Su Yanxue stretched out her hand to catch a piece, and the ash in her hands shattered.
Wu You suddenly found that the footsteps behind her had stopped, she turned her head and saw that Su Yanxue was staring at her palm in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wu You couldn’t help interrupting her meditation: “What’s wrong?”
Su Yanxue laughed again: “Oh! It’s nothing! Sister, let’s go, we have to pick up food and grass.”
Wu You felt something in her heart, so she couldn’t help but persuade: “I have something to say, I know you don’t want to disturb others, but if you hide your emotions in your heart, people will be suffocated.”
Wu You’s expression was too sincere, Su Yanxue was silent for a while and said: “It’s just that the great revenge has been avenged, and my heart is happy, but my life has not changed, and the people who have lost can no longer be repaid. return.”
“Then move forward, keep moving forward and you will meet a lot of people who care about you.”
Su Yanxue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, “For example, sister you? To be honest, I really wanted to have a sister. I watched you save the third princess that day. It would be nice if I could protect me like that.”
Huh? She likes to add a sister for no reason. It is said that with Su Yanxue’s martial arts and temperament, there are very few people who can bully her…
Although Wu You’s head was full of question marks at the moment, she still comforted Su Yanxue: “Not just me, there will be others.”
Su Yanxue quickly ran to Wu You and turned around: “Well, I see, sister, let’s go, I’m fine.”
Wu You went down the mountain to receive the food and grass, and then she returned to Jinzhou with the food and grass.
At this time, the guest room where Wu You lived was still lit, and there was more than just a figure reflected in it. Wu You pushed the door and entered, and said hello to the large and small huddled in the corner: “Mrs. Shang, you OK.”
Mrs. Shang and her daughter shrank to the corner again, Shang Xingwo was already asleep in her arms.
Aunt Yun sat at the table and looked at them, she was relieved to see Wu You coming back: “Is it going well, Miss?”
Wu You put the sword on the table, then sat down, Su Yanxue did not follow, she went back to her room.
After drinking a bowl of tea, Wu You felt that her fatigue had eased: “It’s very smooth, but Yan Xue’s condition doesn’t look very good, but she is an optimistic person, she should not What’s the matter.”
Aunt Yun poured her another glass of water, “You’ll be fine, miss.”
Wu You was a little happy: “The day when Daxin wins this war is not far away, I can also go back to see my father and Azi.”
Looking at the shivering woman in black in the corner, Wu You asked, “Isn’t it embarrassing them?”
Aunt Yun replied, “Naturally.”
Wu You saw that Shang Youlian was shaking all the time, and knew that she was scared, “Madam, don’t worry, we won’t do anything to you and the child, but please don’t have any thoughts of running away, Madam.”
Shang Youlian saw that the woman in red seemed to be good at talking, so she asked, “Why arrest us?”
Of course they were arrested to keep Zhang Wenli in check, otherwise this guy would make troubles everywhere and annoy people, but Wu You didn’t want to explain to her.
Wu You put down the teacup in his hand and closed his eyes to rest: “Don’t ask about it, you just need to stay here honestly.”
The environment will change a person’s attitude towards the world. Wu You was not such an unreasonable person, but after staying in this world for a long time, Wu You found that this barbaric world is unreasonable.
Shang Youlian didn’t speak anymore, her martial arts skills were not high, and she couldn’t beat the kind-hearted old man, and now she added one more person.
Wu You felt a little cold, she shook and opened her eyes, saw the mother and daughter huddled together, afraid that they would freeze, Wu You said to Yun Gu: “Give them two Get a quilt, it’s pretty cold tonight.”
Gu Yun agreed and asked the servant to bring a quilt over.
Shang Youlian took the quilt, perhaps feeling that the two of them were not malicious, she said softly, “Thank you.”
Wu You felt that as a robber, she couldn’t bear these two words, so she didn’t answer.
Zhang Wenli went down the mountain all the way back to the rented inn, opened the door and shouted, “You pity! Myolie!”
No one responded in the room, and Zhang Wenli reluctantly looked inside, but there was no one.
He sat on the stool dejectedly, and after a long time he went out towards the inn where Wu You lived.
Wu You was dozing off at this time, Yun Gu woke Wu You up when she heard a voice in the courtyard: “Miss, someone is coming, it should be Zhang Wenli.”
Wu You’s sleepiness disappeared instantly. She opened the door and saw that the person standing in the courtyard was indeed Zhang Wenli.
Zhang Wenli didn’t talk nonsense to Wu You: “How can you return them to me?”
Wu You glanced at the house, then walked out: “I just want to make a deal with General Zhang, General Zhang is not in a hurry to get angry, to be honest, we already know the reason why you helped Yu Chao. Be clear.”
“No, General Zhang, you are resenting, Marshal Zhang, and the Son of Heaven. What you rebelled against back then was actually planned by the current emperor, right?”
The latter part of Wu You spoke very quietly, but Zhang Wenli’s ear was not bad, of course he heard it.
Zhang Wenli’s anger suddenly disappeared, and he became very surprised: “You… No, you shouldn’t be so powerful.”
Wu You’s face darkened for a moment, and he sneered in his heart: Hehehe, thank you for your trust in me.
Zhang Wenli thought for a while, “Did Zhao Qingzi find out? How could it be?”
Wu You suddenly became a little proud, she said proudly: “Yes, it was Azi who found out, you saved Zhang Boyu and Li Yingying that day, Azi felt that something was wrong with you Just checked it out.”
Do it, why do you want to help me?”
“We are not helping you but helping ourselves. Now that my father is more powerful, when this war is over, the first thing the emperor wants to deal with is Marshal Zhang and my father. General Zhang, you should know better than me.”
Zhang Wenli of course knew that he grew up in the military camp, and everyone in the army said that he would be the next Marquis of Changan.
Zhang Wenli felt the same way. Until the war started, Zhang Wenli came back after fighting with the enemy, and found that the emperor sent the guards dead in his tent, Zhang Wenli still Investigating the murderer.
But a blood book has been passed to the emperor. This blood book was written by the prison army. It accused him of Zhang Wenli being a murderer and wanting to rebel.
Zhang Wenli looked down on the emperor today. When young people were in high spirits, they often expressed emotion with their soldiers. Therefore, some people in the army knew that he was dissatisfied with the emperor.
So when I heard the news of Zhang Wenli’s rebellion, everyone believed it. What made him most desperate was that even his own sister also believed it.
Zhang Wenli pondered for a while, then suppressed the tumbling emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice, “Then what can you do? What can you do?”
“There is only rebellion now.”
Zhang Wenli raised his head and his pupils trembled: “Just you?”
Being irritated by the contempt in his words, Wu You said angrily, “And your sister, Zhang Wenqi.”
Zhang Wenli seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, “Hahaha, aren’t you crazy? That woman would rather believe the emperor than believe that I am innocent!”
& nbsp; Sister, no matter how good the emperor’s disguise is, it will be useless.”
Seeing Zhang Wenli still standing there without speaking, Wu You sighed: “Before you make a decision, I can’t give you back your family, I can’t guarantee that you won’t give I’m making a mess, so I can only choose this way.”
After finishing speaking, Wu You was about to go back to his room to sleep. It’s so cold outside, so he can just stand as he likes.
Just as I opened the door and wanted to go in, Zhang Wenli’s voice came from behind: “I promise you.”
It seems that the matter is done, Wu You is in a happy mood, and his tone is much lighter: “Then wish us a happy cooperation.”
At the same time, Wu You thought to himself: Ah Zi guessed right, Zhang Wenli really hated the emperor.
Wu You looked in the direction of the capital, thinking that it was time to show him the power of ants.
