Chapter 233 Sleepy Dragon Nest

The next morning, when the two drove to the middle of Luoxia Mountain, they had to stop.

There are several felled trees across the post road ahead.

Behind the tree stood a group of county soldiers armed with weapons.

"Stop, what are you two doing?" The leading corporal stood up, "Don't you know that this road has been closed?"

"Brothers," Ren Ning got off his horse, "We have a duty to go to Dingxi City ahead."

The corporal was taken aback for a moment, and quickly looked over.

Two tall, majestic horses stood there snorting loudly.

Even if he doesn't know horses, he knows that they are extraordinary.

Let alone Ren Ning who came over, the strong bow on his back and the short blade in his waist are all self-made weapons, and he can't tell the history at the moment.

But Lei Er's black saber is Yun Chui's standard weapon.

Wu Zhang has vision.

He could tell at a glance that this person was at least a personal guard of the general level or someone like Qianchang.

"It's not good for official business." The corporal's voice softened a little, "The front is full of Xiliang people, it's too dangerous."

Ren Ning didn't make another sound, just took out a token and threw it across the tree.

The corporal quickly caught it, and Dingqing took a look.

On the front and back of the exquisite token are engraved two flamboyant characters: prison!check!

what.

The corporal leader was taken aback, suddenly realized, and quickly sent back the token respectfully.

"Master Supervisor, the Xiliang army has crossed the Yanzhen Fortress and invaded our land a few years ago. At this time, Dingxi County is full of Xiliang people. You..."

If you go there, you will only fall into the hands of the enemy, and you will not be able to monitor the customs of the people.Let's go back.

While talking, Wu Zhang looked at Ren Ning curiously.

Didn't it mean that most of the supervisory censors who wandered around the counties were middle-aged or old men who were powerless and full of words?

When will there be such a young man who can ride a horse, draw a bow and shoot an arrow?
Ren Ning nodded: "Because of the invasion of Xiliang people, I have to visit Dingxi County in person so that His Majesty can learn the details of the county as soon as possible."

The corporal was in awe.

This stunned youth can be said to be conscientious, even disregarding his own life...

Just as he was thinking, his eyes landed on the strong bow behind Ren Ning, and he suddenly realized.

Ren Ning didn't know what the corps chief was thinking, and said, "You are Dingxi County soldiers, take me to meet your county captain Xia Bang as Master Xia."

The corporal leader didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly straightened his back: "My lord, we are the guards of Dingxi County. But Lord Xia is not on this post road. He led the team to guard the Yangguan ancient road to the north."

Yangguan Ancient Road?

Ren Ning pondered for a while and quickly realized.

There are eight paths leading to the east of Yunchui in the Luoxia Mountains, among which the best ones are the post road in front of you and the ancient Yangguan road in the north.

It's just that the post road at the foot connects to Laigu County, while the Yangguan Ancient Road leads to Tianshui County.

There are also many hills in the west of Tianshui County, but compared with Laigu County, which is like a centipede, it is much easier to walk.

The most important thing is that the Yingling Plain in the northeast of Tianshui County is one of Yunchui's three racecourses.

As long as they pass Tianshui County and control the Yingling Plain, Yunchui will lose one-third of his reserve horses, and its importance can be imagined.

"Then take me to see your Chief Wan or Chief Qian."

The head of the corps nodded and ordered his subordinates to keep guarding the post road, and then he took Ren Ning and the two up the mountain.

There are almost no roads on the mountain, and there are impenetrable woods everywhere.Ren Ning and the two had no choice but to dismount and follow behind.

"Master Inspector, how is the situation in Laigu County now?" The corps leader sighed, "The army has long run out of food, and the brothers have been hungry for several days."

As he spoke, the corporal looked up to the west.

The little soldiers guarding the intersection on the east side are better, almost doing nothing.The brothers in the west still have to fight the Xiliang people from time to time.Can not last long.

Ren Ning and Lei Er looked at each other, and could only comfort vaguely: "Don't worry, the food has arrived in Laigu County. It will be delivered soon..."

The three of them walked through the mountains and forests for two full hours.It was almost noon before the corporal stopped.

Cuckoo!Gulugu!

He gave the signal.

After a while, two little soldiers with spears emerged from there, looking at the three of them curiously and vigilantly.

The corporal explained the situation, then turned back to his post.The two soldiers continued to walk up with Ren Ning and Lei Er in relay.

It was not until late in the sky that we arrived at the real camp.

The camp is located on a small mountain with lush forests.

Ren Ning glanced around.

There were not many soldiers around, and a bearded general stood right in the middle of the horse.

"My official Ning Ren, Changxing 28 years to supervise the censor." Ren Ning handed over his identity token.

"Thunder Dragon has met Master Ning."

Lei Er next to him was gnawing on a branch, and his eyes lit up when he heard the sound.

Haha.

He laughed loudly and said, "It turns out that this Qianchang is still from the same family. My surname is also Lei, and I'm called Lei Er."

"Brother, you Guigeng, you look older than me. I'll call you a thunderbolt."

Lei Er's voice hadn't finished yet, and the side suddenly gasped in surprise.

"Master Ren, why are you here?"

Ren Ning and Lei Er turned their heads to look, and couldn't help but have strange expressions.

They knew the person who came, it was Huang Ming, the drummer of Zhen Guogong's mansion during the Dragon Boat Festival last year.

Most of the people who followed Huang Ming were familiar with them.

Ren Ning took a closer look, and it turned out that they were all guards of the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

Greetings from both parties.

Although the guards were surprised, they immediately reacted when they saw Ren Ning and Lei Er's attire, and didn't mention their origins.

"It turns out that everyone knows each other." Lei Long's face finally looked better.

He also thought that there was a supervisory censor who had no military knowledge but liked to dictate.

After entering the large tent in the middle, both parties sat down.

"The spies from Xiliang have been watching, so it is inconvenient to start a fire." Lei Long poured a few glasses of mountain spring water, "Lord Ning, forgive me."

"It's okay." Ren Ning shook his head, picked up the spring water and drank it all in one gulp.

"Guys, what's the situation now?" he asked.

Huang Ming coughed and opened the map at hand.

"My lord, for more than half a month, the Xiliang people have been trying to open up the post road below, but we have repelled them all. They are now camped in the sleepy dragon's nest in the west. I don't know if they are waiting for reinforcements or fighting. What a trick."

"Brothers will be able to hold on for a while. It's just a lack of food..."

boom!
Lei Long patted the table hard.

"What are those bastards in the military department doing to eat? When will the food be brought over?" He said: "These days, my brothers are eating wild fruits, bark, and grass roots. If we drag it on, we won't be attacked by the Xiliang people. gone."

Ren Ning didn't answer directly, but pointed to the sleepy dragon's nest on the map: "People from Xiliang came all the way, and they must have brought a lot of beef and mutton. Since you have no food in your hands, haven't you thought of them?" ?”

"It must have been fought." Huang Ming smiled wryly, "It's just that we only have a force of about [-] in our hands, and there are [-] Xiliang people in the trapped dragon's den. , we can still take advantage of it. If we face the attack head-on, we will just die."

As for the food and grass brought by the Xiliang people, they were all placed to the west of the trapped dragon's nest.

The terrain is open.

Even if they grab food and grass, it is probably not easy to escape, let alone bring it back.
