Shu Blossoms

Chapter 523 Lion Mountain

The three of Xiaoyang and Yan Zhuoyun did not stay overnight, but went straight out of the city to continue their journey.

With the help of Liu Wei and Yan Zhuoyun, the three of them can get supplies every time they pass through a city, so the speed is not slower than Zheng Wei and the others.

At this time, Zheng Wei and Wang Xu had arrived at a village five miles away from Meiling.

This village is called Dongyuanzhuang, and passing through this village from east to west is Meiling.

After traveling for days, Zheng Wei and Wang Xu couldn't hold it any longer, so they could only take a break here.They plan to rest for a few hours, and then set off into the mountain again.

The two of them changed their clothes and packed up and set off, but when they got close, they found a group of people passing by outside Meiling. Wang Xu took Zheng Wei to hide. After observing for a long time, they found that the group would meet every quarter of an hour. Walking back again, it should be here to check to prevent someone from rushing out or breaking in.

Fortunately, there were only two Zheng Wei and the others, and they were quick to move through this place within a quarter of an hour without disturbing the patrolling personnel.

After they entered, they carefully searched for the afternoon in Meiling, but found nothing. Zheng Wei couldn't help but feel anxious, "Could it be that they are in danger?"

"Although there are only a few thousand of them, if there is a fierce battle, there will be no small disturbance, and there will be more residual mess after the war. We searched all the way and found nothing. So no news is good news!"

Wang Xu comforted him, but it was not unreasonable, and Zheng Wei felt a little at ease.

"The county master, eat some food and rest, we have to think of a way, this kind of blind search is not the way!"

Zheng Wei agreed with Wang Xu's proposal as it made sense.

Zheng Wei used to say that although she was often in trouble, she had great luck. When her unusual ear hearing was abnormal, she knew that her good luck had come back.

She looked at Wang Xu's gesture, looked at the first-class tree, and the two quickly climbed to the top of the tree, hiding among the dense leaves.

Not long after, a group of soldiers wearing clear armor came from a distance. Zheng Wei had never entered the army, and did not know which army the armor belonged to. He asked Wang Xu, who shook his head.

Since it's not Brother A's army, and they are looking around vigilantly as if they are patrolling, these people are likely to be enemies!
She made a gesture to Wang Xu, and Wang Xu nodded.

After the group had gone far, they descended from the tree and followed.

Zheng Wei's plan was for them to blindly search in the mountains. It would be too difficult to find them, so it might be better to follow the enemy and maybe get useful information.

Sure enough, they secretly followed those people all the way to a flat ground, where there were still many soldiers.

Zheng Wei frowned, the terrain here is too open to use them to track and snoop.

She could only take the risk of going up the tree again, watching from a distance the leader of the team who brought them here bowing to the person sitting in the middle, obviously he was the leader of the team.

Zheng Wei saw that they were listening carefully, holding their breath, but there was too much noise below, and no sound could be heard at all.

Helplessly, she could only stare at the opening and closing mouths of the two people, but they were talking too fast to tell the difference, but she didn't dare to be discouraged, she could only insist on gritted teeth.

It wasn't until the two men finished speaking that the leader looked in her direction. Zheng Wei was startled, and her subconscious reaction was that she had been discovered and had to flee immediately.

But she quickly suppressed the thought, forcing herself to stand on the tree without the slightest movement.

Then her eyes shrank suddenly, staring at the leader's mouth that opened and closed.

"Lion Mountain?!" Zhao Cen listened to his subordinate's reply and looked up at the mountain that stood like a crouching lion in the east, and said slowly.

Zhao Cen led the army to search for two days and two nights in Meiling. He almost searched Meiling, but he could not find any trace of the army.Seeing that the three-day period given by the general is coming soon, if he returns empty-handed, how will he gain a foothold in the Jiujiang Prefecture army in the future.

Since Hongdu hasn't sent a letter to Jiujiang for several days, and even Zheng Heng, Xiao Yucheng, and the others have sneaked into the city without any news, Han Shiying knew that Tan Chen was a chess piece.

He immediately sent a letter to Hongdu County and ordered the spies in the city to negotiate with Yang Zongzhou.

The Han family has been guarding Jiujiang for ten years, and Yang Zongzhou has been in Hongdu for several years. Although General Han did not care about this, Han Shiying installed his own people in Hongdu before Yang Zongzhou took office, so he returned Yang Zongzhou. If I understand it, I know that although this person is not a bad person, and that he is an official, he is also honest, but he is too cautious.

A cautious person is thoughtful, and it is easy to look ahead and to hesitate.Such people are the easiest to take advantage of.

Han Shiying squeezed Yang Zongzhou's seven inches, learned the location of Zheng Heng's army, and immediately sent Zhao Cen to lead the army to arrest him.

But I didn't expect that the army would be so cunning without Zheng Heng and Xiao Yucheng, and they took a step forward and left an empty yard for them.

Zhao Cen led the army all the way to Meiling, but lost track of that army in one day.

In the entire Meiling Mountain, the one he didn't want to go to was Lion Mountain. Although the mountain was not high, the terrain was steep and steep. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was difficult for them to enter and search.

But now I have to go.

Zheng Wei also understood these three words, and only understood these three words.

She clenched her hands excitedly, and had a strong premonition in her heart that they were there!

Zhao Cen and the others were already setting up a stove to make a fire. Wang Xu winked at Chao Zheng Wei, and the two cautiously got down from the tree and hurried northward.

After running for a long time, they dared to stop. Wang Xu took a breath and said quickly: "They are lighting a fire to cook, maybe they have to make a big move!"

"Lion Mountain!" Zheng Wei gasped and said, then took out a piece of white cloth from his arms, with black charcoal drawn on it horizontally, vertically, and curved.

She spread out on the ground, stretched out her hand, and said firmly: "It's here! They are here, and those from Jiujiang are also going here."

Wang Xu looked at the painting and said in amazement, "You were busy talking about drawing maps last night?"

Yesterday, they stayed at Dongyuan Village. Zheng Wei dragged the uncle of the family and asked about it for a long time. If they had not given enough money for the night, the uncle would have run away impatiently!
"It's not a map, it's just a simple label, so don't forget it."

Zheng Wei smiled shyly, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the northeast, "It's there, we have to get to Lion Mountain before those people and join our people!"

Zheng Wei and Wang Xu each bit a piece of Hu cake and rushed towards the Lion Mountain with all their strength.

When they stood at the foot of Lion Mountain, they couldn't help looking at each other, and they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. This Lion Mountain is really a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, Zheng Wei was somewhat relieved, and with it as a basis, it was not so easy for those people to attack.

"Would you like to compare and see who finds them first?" Zheng Wei was in the mood to laugh with Wang Xu.

"Okay, after all, Princess Xuchang is eight or nine years old, and he is a dignified man. If you don't dare to answer, you are not a man!" Wang Xu threw his robes and wrapped them around his waist, proudly said.

"This county master likes to bully you sons!" Zheng Wei kicked his feet and ran out first.
