Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 125
Yuexi County, Qiongdu City.

A Yi man under Gao Yuan, the Yi king of Yueqi County, felt a little sleepy. He hit the horizontal pendulum clock with his head on the top of the city, up and down, up and down.

Until a 'whoosh' sound, the sound of an arrow piercing the air broke the tranquility of the late night, and the sound of an object falling to the ground sounded around the barbarian.

The sleepy Yi man was suddenly awakened, with panic in his eyes. He picked up the torch beside him and walked quickly to the pheasant plate of the tower. He stretched out the torch from the crenel and looked down the tower. He saw only the firelight shining under the tower. The place was empty. He felt relieved and secretly rejoiced that it was not a night attack by the enemy.

Then the Yi man looked around and searched carefully. He was not yet completely relieved.

Soon, he found an arrow on the ground. It was a very ordinary arrow, but what was strange was that in the middle of the arrow, there was a piece of white silk tied with thin silk, and there seemed to be some black marks on the silk. .

He tore off the filament and spread out the white silk. At the same time, he brought the torch close to the silk and looked at the marks on the silk.

'what is this? '

'What is written here? '

Regarding the square black strokes on the white silk, he knew that these were Han characters. He had seen similar square shapes on some stone tablets carved by the Han people.

But he didn't know exactly what these words meant, and he couldn't help but have big questions in his little mind.

But soon, he gave up his thoughts and questions about the words on the white silk. This was not a question that needed him to think about, and it was not a matter that he should question. He was just a pawn, and an even less popular pawn. He had no background and was doing it late at night. Due to the drudgery of being on duty, I couldn't even get a good night's sleep.

Holding the white silk, he walked towards his immediate superior and handed the white silk over. It was the people above him who should be worried and worried. He just needed to be a night watchman in peace and quiet.

After a period of time, several pieces of white silk were spread out on the table of Yi Wang Gaoyuan of Yuexi County. These were handed over by the night watchman at the head of the city. The contents on each silk silk were the same.

After carefully reading the contents on a piece of white silk, Gao Yuan's brows were raised high, almost twisting into a ball, and his expression was even more worried.

Gao Ding beside him also read the contents on the white silk. He looked similar to Gao Yuan, and his expression was equally ugly. His expression at the moment was almost the same as Gao Yuan's.

"Ding'er, what do you think?" Gao Yuan asked his son Gao Ding. The content written on the white silk made him very uneasy.

On the silk is Liu Zhang's promise to Yong Mian, the head of the Yong clan, a wealthy family in Yizhou County. As long as Yong Mian is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, Yong Mian's past crimes will be wiped out.

Of course, this comes at a price, and the price is that Yong Mian needs to present Qiongdu City and the heads of Gao Yuan and Gao Ding.

Gao Yuan sighed inwardly. When the Yong family arrived in Qiongdu City from Yizhou County, he used his help to accept the Yong family into Qiongdu City. He did not listen to his son Gao Ding's advice and allowed the Yong family to camp outside the city. Intend.

His original intention was to show his sincerity to the Yong family, and the two families worked together to defend Qiongdu City, waiting for Liu Zhang's army to be exhausted, and then fight out to repel Liu Zhang.

But the silk letter now made him suspicious of the Yong family.

Gao Ding thought about it for a while and set a tone: "Han'er is the most untrustworthy."

Soyi had nothing to say to cover up his parents' mistakes, so Gao Ding spoke directly from his heart: "I advised my father not to admit the Yong family into the city, and just let the Yong family camp outside the city, but father, you just let the Yong family into the city. "There is more than one copy of this letter. It should have been fired at the towers from all sides of Qiongdu City. Maybe Yong Mian's soldiers have picked it up and handed it to Yong Mian to read."

"Then do you think Yong Mian will be moved?" Gao Yuan, who felt a little regretful, asked Gao Ding tentatively.

Gao Ding shook his head and gave an ambiguous reply: "I can't tell."

"But Yong Mian is a Han son. He must be close to the Han people and alienated from us Yi people. In the past few days, there have been several conflicts between our subordinates and Yong's clan. Although these conflicts are only between the lower-level sons. There are some minor conflicts, but this also shows that the Yong family does not want to deal with us. After all, we are not the same kind, with different customs and different styles."

"The child thinks that there is a chance that Yong Mian will be attracted to him."

"Hey." Gao Yuan sighed heavily. If Yong Mian was really moved, he would have no choice but to abandon Qiongdu City and run to a cave in the mountains.

Gao Yuan was a little angry. He finally took advantage of the weakness of the Han family to occupy Qiongdu City and trampled the Han people under his feet.

But the good days have not passed for a few years, and now he has to give up the colorful world of Qiongdu City and run back to live in a cave in the mountains and forests.

How can the days in the mountains compare with the days in the city?

Seeing his father's attitude, Gao Ding thought for a while and said how to deal with it: "Father, I don't necessarily think that Yong Mian will be tempted and betray us. We can gather his subordinates first and observe the Yong family tomorrow morning. movement."

"If the Yong family does not change, we will entertain Yong Mian as usual. When the time comes, it will be like this..."

Gao Ding leaned close to Gao Yuan's ear and explained his thoughts in a voice that only Gao Yuan could hear.
-
Yueqi County, Liu Zhang's camp outside Qiongdu City.

"Yongnian, has the letter been sent to Qiongdu City?" Liu Zhang looked at Peng Yi who walked into the tent from outside the door and asked.

In order to prompt the Yi King Gao Yuan and Yong Mian to join forces, Liu Zhang first led his army to retreat ten miles to relieve the military pressure on Qiongdu City, so as to alleviate the inner fear of Gao Yuan and Yong Mian, and allow Gao Yuan and Yong Mian to have free time to do other things, such as Conflicts and things like that happen.

Then Peng Yi gave a plan. He suggested that Liu Zhang send a letter to Qiongdu City, stating that as long as the Yong family behaves anyway, kills Gao Yuan and Gao Ding, the father and son of the Yi kings of Yueqi County, and surrenders Qiongdu City, Liu Zhang will exempt the Yong family from being punished. Guilt.

Through several worthless letters, he lowered the lack of trust between Gao Yuan and Yong Mian, aggravated Yi Wang Gao Yuan's suspicion of Yong Mian, and caused an early conflict between Gao Yuan and Yong Mian.

Peng Yi cupped his hands and said, "Ming Gong, the arrangements have been made."

"After observing in the past few days, I have learned that generally the east and south gates of Qiongdu are guarded by the Yi people under Yi King Gaoyuan, while the west gate and north gate are guarded by the Yong clan, but they sometimes change their defenses."

"To prevent any accidents, the four gates sent people to shoot arrows at the top of the city. It is expected that Yi Wang Gaoyuan and Yong Mian should have seen the letter by now. There is probably an undercurrent in the city now. We just have to wait and see what's going on in the city at dawn. .”

Speaking of this, Peng Yi showed a malicious smile on his face. His malicious intentions were aimed at the Yi King Gao Yuan and the wealthy Yong clan in Qiondu City.
