Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 87
When Qin Ye heard his daughter asking about Luo Yunhou, he suddenly had a thought that he shouldn't have.

It is said that Luo Yunhou is not very old. Wouldn't it be perfect for his daughter to marry Luo Yunhou?

"Daddy, Daddy, what's the matter with you?"

Qin Ye, who was suddenly called by his daughter again, also blushed. What happened today, he was always distracted.

"Hey, yes, but please tell me, I'm listening."

Qin Keqing didn't suspect anything else, thinking that her father was tired, so she said,
"Father, the Marquis of Luoyun is really so great, so he was named a Marquis at such a young age?"

After listening to his daughter's words, Qin Ye also thought about it. What happened to Luo Yunhou and Zhang Jinyu was all hearsay, and he had never seen it.

I don't know what it is like outside the customs, but in my impression, it is a bitter cold place, and there are many foreigners, so it is really unsafe.

In addition, people are much rougher than those in the pass, and life may be more barbaric, so how can life in the pass be comfortable.

Besides, as far as this daughter is concerned, it would be great if she could find a good family in the capital. We'd better wait and see, or see Luo Yunhou.

"It's very young, and it's true to be a Marquis, but what it looks like, as a father, I've heard it from hearsay, and I haven't seen it. When Luo Yunhou comes, I'll see it and tell you about it."

"Well, Dad, let's go eat."

"Okay, ask Zhong'er to go there together."

The father and daughter went to the front hall for dinner together.

Inside Dawu Pass
Shuoyang County,
In the camp outside the official road, there are bright bonfires everywhere, and a large number of soldiers are patrolling around the camp, and the guards are heavily guarded.

Zhang Jinyu came to the tent with the roasted deer leg, put the deer leg on the plate on the small table in the tent, took out the dagger and began to cut, Mrs. Wang was in high spirits, and Lan Shuer was breathing heavily there , It looks like I didn't sleep well.

After Zhang Jinyu cut up the venison, he made three portions out of small butterflies and handed them over.

"Come and taste my handicraft, this deer is really fat."

The three of them were not polite, they took the past and started to eat, Lan Yueer nodded,

"Delicious, really fragrant."

Wang Shi also nodded in agreement, only Lan Shu'er was eating there weakly.

Zhang Jinyu looked at it and asked,

"Shu'er, what's going on, he's listless and didn't sleep well."

"Well, I can't sleep, I'm always worried and scared, but I'm so sleepy."

Shu Er replied with a wry smile.

After Zhang Jinyu heard this, isn't this just the previous recognition of the bed? It's just that the spirit is too tense, just relax.

"It's nothing, it's just nervousness, don't worry, there are people from the old camp around, my confidant army, not even a fly can fly in, don't worry, take a good rest for a night after eating, and go on the road tomorrow."

Lan Shuer nodded obediently.

"Report, Lord Hou, catch a spy!"

The report from the soldiers came from outside the big tent, and Zhang Jinyu was a little embarrassed. He just said it was safe,

"Mother, let's eat first, I will come as soon as I go."

Wang Shi nodded and exhorted;

"It's late at night, so be careful."

"Yes, mother."

After finishing speaking, she stood up and walked out of the tent, and saw that Wei Yong, the chief guard outside, was waiting there with someone, Zhang Jinyu asked;

"What happened?"

Wei Yong replied immediately;

"Back to Lord Marquis, the scouts of the vanguard battalion on guard outside the camp were scouting and patrolling ten miles away from the camp, and captured a group of cavalry. They were obviously scouts. Those guys are really stubborn, don't say anything?"

"Oh! Interesting, where is he?"

"Go back to Lord Marquis, at General Duan's place in the former battalion."

"Go, go and have a look,"

Just as Zhang Jinyu was about to raise his legs to leave, he suddenly lost consciousness. Scouts, that means there is still a large team.

"Quickly, tell General Duan to gather the troops for vigilance, and then tell General Ningbyon to allocate half of the men to prepare for support, and the rest to look after the horses."

Although Wei Yong, the chief guard, was puzzled by Lord Hou's order, he did not hesitate to send someone to carry it out and pass it on immediately.

Zhang Jinyu then followed Wei Yong to the front camp. As soon as he arrived at the front camp, he saw General Duan Hong gathering a team of 3000 people to set off at any time.
"General Duan wait, first send scouts to patrol to expand to 20 miles."

"Yes, Lord Hou, the people have been sent out, and I also feel that something is wrong. It seems that I have been targeted."

Duan Hong was still a little worried,

"It's okay. Five thousand cavalry are also assembled in Ningbian to support them at any time. Now it's time for a trial on whether the so-called spies are gangsters. Let them speak up."

Zhang Jinyu was not in a hurry either. Few of them could eat up [-] elite cavalry in one go, and those who could would not be blatant. It seemed that they were either bandits or local garrisons. As for whether they were garrisons or frontier troops, we'll know later.

Duan Hong smiled wryly;
"Master Hou, those guys are dead men, they are too stubborn to ask."

"Really, then I have to take a good look at it."

Zhang Jinyu led the guards to the center of the camp, where ten tree stumps had already been erected, and ten dead men were tied to them.

Under the light of the fire, the faces of the ten people were a little hideous and their hair was scattered, but their bodies were comparable to those of people outside the customs. They were very burly, and there were obvious calluses on their hands, especially on the second joints of the thumb and index finger. They used to hold weapons and shoot arrows for a long time. Pulling the bowstring and grinding it out, and looking at the ten people, they all look confident.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Jinyu knew in his heart that he was probably a member of the army, and it was difficult to handle.

"What did Hou Ye see?"

Duan Hong saw that Lord Hou was silent there, thought something happened and asked aloud.

Only then did Zhang Jinyu come back to his senses, never mind him, it's bad luck for you to mess with me.

"It's okay, I can see some signs of it, but I have to interrogate it carefully, and I can't blame others."

Zhang Jinyu spoke loudly on purpose so that everyone around could hear her.

Especially the ten dead soldiers raised their heads and looked over.

Zhang Jinyu unhurriedly took out a long knife from the guard and stroked it in his hand. Under the light of the fire, it reflected a white cold light, and the cold air was overwhelming.

"Good knife."

Zhang Jinyu came to the front of the tree stump, looked at the ten tied dead men, and said;

"Nice to meet you all. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Jinyu. I was conferred the title of Marquis of Luoyun by the Holy Master. You should have heard of it. Do you have anything to say now?"

When the ten people tied to the tree stump heard Zhang Jinyu's introduction, their faces changed slightly when they claimed to be Luo Yunhou. This change was caught by Zhang Jinyu who was staring at them.

None of the ten people made a sound, and Zhang Jinyu was not in a hurry. After waiting there for a while, seeing that the ten people were determined to carry it to the end, don't blame me for being cruel.

He continued smiling,

"It seems that you don't give Benhou face, well, then let's play a game, I will ask, you will answer, start from the first person on the left, if you are right, you will have something to eat, if you answer wrong, don't blame me This Marquis, of course, everyone has three chances."

Zhang Jinyu came to the first person on the left with a knife in his hand, and asked with a smile;
"The game has started, the first question, where are you from?"

The first dead man just "hummed" and didn't answer. He was very stubborn, seeing such a situation.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jinyu stabbed the dead man's thigh with a knife, and the latter screamed "ah".

"You have two more chances. Three, two, one."

Seeing that the dead man still didn't answer, Zhang Jinyu stabbed his knife into the other thigh again. The dead man screamed loudly and far away. The surrounding soldiers and the dead man on the tree stump were so cold that they couldn't help shivering.

Zhang Jinyu continued to ask without changing expression;

"Go ahead, there is one last chance."

But the dead cried out;
"Kill me, quick, kill me. Ah!"

Zhang Jinyu ended the life of the dead man with a knife, drew out the knife and came to the second tree stump,
"Look, the one in front, this request is too embarrassing for a human being. I asked Ben Hou to kill him, but Ben Hou was kind enough to follow his wish! You then answer, where did you come from?"

The face of the second dead man was pale.Cold sweat flowed out, but still did not say a word.

Zhang Jinyu was very interested. This was a real ancient dead man. It was the first time I saw him. He was kind.

"Three, two, one."

"Pfft." With a sound,
A knife stabbed into the left thigh, directly piercing through the flesh,

"Ah, let me go."

"Where are you from?"

"Let me go."

Zhang Jinyu confirmed that he would not answer, and directly solved it again.

Only then did everyone truly realize that this was the Jiedu envoy of Luoyun who held the power of life and death outside the pass, Duan Hong also felt his thighs were chilly, let alone others.

When Zhang Jinyu came in front of the third person, the dead man on the stump kept saying that you are a devil, you are a devil.

It seemed that there was no way to answer, so he dealt with it directly.

At this time, Zhang Jinyu came to the fourth person, and the dead man was already trembling with fright.

And the eyes are full of fear!
