Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 3
"Although what you said is good, don't you still have the ally Silla?"

"From what I've seen below, the allies are unstoppable. If the situation changes, Silla may not come forward with food!"

"Why do you say that there is no conflict between Baekje and our Tang Dynasty, but they are the mortal enemies of Silla. At the beginning, the Lord of Silla sent his sons as hostages, and he came to our Tang Dynasty again and again to beg to send troops to attack Baekje. This time he sent troops to respond to Xinluo According to Luo's invitation, if Baekje is restored to the country, how can the people of Silla not transport grain?"

"It is true that Silla and Baekje have a feud. It is also true that we defeated Baekje with our Datang allied forces. But this time and then, when Baekje was strong and Silla was weak, Silla would not be able to survive without an alliance with our Datang. Now, most of the nobles of the Baekje royal family have been brought to our Tang Dynasty. The city walls are broken, the warehouses are empty, and the people are exhausted. Food. But if Silla sends troops and food to help our Datang defeat the remaining Baekje army, the land of Baekje will become a county of our Datang, and the people of Baekje will become the people of our Datang. Not only will Silla You can't expand the land and benefit the land, but you have to be careful that one day you will follow in the footsteps of Baekje, what would you do if you were the king of Silla?"

Hearing what Wang Wenzuo said, everyone's faces became gloomy, especially Liu An. He frowned and thought for a moment before replying: "If I just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, sit and watch the Tang Dynasty and Baekje both lose and then send troops, and win in one fell swoop." Two tigers!"

"That's right!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "If it were me, I would use the excuse of sending troops to help me, embezzle the land on the border to strengthen myself, and at the same time order people to secretly search for the descendants of the Baekje royal family for future preparations!"

"Hearding Sanlang's words today is better than ten years of reading. You really deserve to be a descendant of the Wang family of Langya!" Liu An sighed, and he turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, just now Sanlang's words cannot be leaked out. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Everyone also understood the seriousness of Cai's words, all of them looked dignified, and there was no relaxation on their faces just now.

Liu An ordered the crowd, looked at Wang Wenzuo with a special look, and suddenly sighed: "I thought that after the Hou Jing Rebellion, all the surnames in Jiangdong were wiped out, and the Langya Wang family would no longer have any successors. Now that I see Sanlang, Only then did I realize that although the trunk of the pagoda tree is rotten, it can grow new branches!"

Wang Wenzuo was confused by Liu An's words, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that the Wang family that sent him to North Korea to join the army for his son seemed to be richer than his ancestors. Could it be that he came from the Langya Wang family?But it's impossible to ask about this kind of thing, otherwise, wouldn't it be revealing his old background?

While talking, a group of people had already arrived at Luwei Ze. Since it was already dark, they set up ambushes on the animal trail among the reeds by the lake, and then returned to the high ground beside the lake to rest in Yu Ren's reed shed guarding the hunting ground, preparing to wait until Play around again at dawn the next day.

Because he was in an enemy country, Liu An assigned a night sentry, and Wang Wenzuo drew lots to get the second guard.He was woken up around the time of the first watch and walked outside the reed shed.In order to prevent a fire at night, the fire for heating had already been extinguished. Wang Wenzuo wrapped his cloak tightly and sat cross-legged on a pile of reeds to be processed.The night wind blows, carrying the unique smell of water in the swamp, and the occasional chirping of birds and animals that come to the lake to drink in the distance makes it even more peaceful.

Wang Wenzuo oiled the saber and inserted it back into the sheath. He felt a little cold, and was about to get up and move around to keep warm, but suddenly heard a shrill scream not far away, and then heard the sound of a piece of grass breaking. .He quickly jumped up and drew his knife out of its sheath.

"What happened!"

With such a big commotion, the people in the hut were also awakened, but Liu An was the first to rush out, barefoot, holding a short spear in his hand, with a nervous expression on his face.

"I don't know! But the voice should be human!" Wang Wenzuo whispered: "Maybe he was shot by the crossbow we set up!"

Liu An listened for a while, only heard the faint sound of reeds, but there was no more screaming, and said with a sneer, "If it's really a human, I'll be hit by a duck-billed arrow (an ancient arrow with a flat shape) It looks like a duck’s beak, it makes a big wound when shot, and it’s often used in hunting.) It’s really a tough guy who can hold back howling!”

"Yeah!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "But such a tough guy came to Luwei Ze in the middle of the night, brother Liu, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Liu An took a look at Wang Wenzuo and nodded. He turned his head and shouted to the reed shed, "Wake up, everyone, light up the torches, let's go down together and have a look!"

The night was pitch black, the reeds slapped their cheeks, and the flames flickered under the blowing of the night wind, casting luminous shadows all around.Sanqiu opened the way ahead with an iron fork, and Wang Wenzuo followed closely behind, holding a saber in one hand and a rattan plate in the other.The master and servant walked very carefully, no one knew what was hidden in the darkness, the roles of the hunter and the prey could change at any time, besides, there were more than one ambushes they set up earlier, and they couldn't see clearly in the dark. If he stepped on the crossbow set by himself, it would be his own fault.

The two searched for a while, but Sancho suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "Look, sir, there are footprints and blood!"

Wang Wenzuo squatted down and took a closer look with the help of the firelight. Sure enough, there were several footprints on the ground, and there were large black marks on the fallen reeds. He stretched out his finger and touched it to his nose. He smelled a bloody smell, and it was indeed blood.

"Follow up, don't worry, he's injured and can't run far, be careful and jump over the wall!" Wang Wenzuo whispered, stuffing his fingers into his mouth and whistled vigorously. The sharp whistle immediately pierced the night sky, and several people in the distance The ignition light immediately moved closer to this side.

A few minutes later, Sancho found this mysterious unlucky guy behind a fallen reed bush—short and thin, wrapped in fur, covered with mud and reeds, and the root of his right thigh was tightly wrapped with a piece of rag. Blood was oozing out, he was holding a dagger in his right hand and a wooden staff in his left hand, looking at the men around him viciously, like a desperate old wolf.

Liu An winked, and Li Tong on his right slashed at the man's wrist - with the back of the knife.The man let out a scream, and the dagger fell to the ground.Before the voice fell, he was pushed down to the ground by three people swarming up. No matter how desperately he struggled, he was still tied up after a while.Li Tong found a wax pill from his body, Liu An crushed the wax pill, and inside it was wrapped a strip of silk cloth more than two feet long and about two fingers wide. It's like a ghostly drawn talisman, I don't know what it is written at all.
