lying down

The reason why people are afraid of snakes is not because of its toxicity, but more often because they don't know when they will be bitten. Its suddenness and concealment are often hard to guard against.

At this moment, Ouyang's eyebrows were twisted into knots, and his face was gloomy.When this great battle is about to break out, what Xu Shiji's death means can be easily seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Meet in the camp in the clouds.Then Xu Shiji really couldn't tell if he wanted to make a bit of a thrill, or he really died in the clouds.

This group of people hiding in the depths is like a lurking poisonous snake. As long as you are not careful, it will bite you and paralyze you to death.This poisonous snake has caused troubles several times, and Ouyang has also participated in it: Di Yong, the chief steward of the Di Mansion before, and the midnight pursuit, running wildly in secret roads, capturing enemies in restaurants, etc. are all the faults of this poisonous snake.This is also in line with the first sentence on the obscene pants, "I have failed many times before, and I can't afford to lose again!".

According to the course of history in Ouyang's memory, Tang Jun was the victor.If the trajectory has not changed, then this episode-like conspiracy must have failed.But what's the matter now that he was "cut off" by himself?Should I let it go and just sit back and watch the course of history, or should I continue to investigate and find out the traitor?This choice made Ouyang a little confused. Not everyone can intervene when they know what is going on in history. If one hand intervenes, it may not be the current history that is disturbed, but the entire future generations.

Ouyang couldn't answer this logic-plus-philosophy-plus-mythology thing with what he knew, and all he could do was do what he should do.This is also Ouyang's only way now.

Throwing the three captives into another tent, Ouyang let out all the things he thought of. Of course, he still didn't reveal the slightest word about the big wheel of history. He was afraid that even a little bit of what he said would drive this Tang Dynasty into madness. Or let yourself fall into madness - being "viewed differently" by Datang as a lunatic or insane.

"So, besides the Turks, is there really another force involved in making waves? This is really annoying!" After hearing Ouyang's words, Ge Ye's face darkened.Although he couldn't see through the whole situation, he knew very well what would happen if Tang Jun was targeted by this poisonous snake and took a successful bite before the war broke out.This made him a little anxious, more worried.

"Third brother, this poisonous snake tried to bite us more than once or twice, but it succeeded once? Even this time, we were caught in such a situation. It can be seen that God opened his eyes and helped us. This is a big deal It's not big, it's not small, we have to think about it in the long run, maybe our first achievement after the construction of the special brigade is in this!" Although Ouyang knew that this matter was dangerous and difficult, but this matter It made him faintly excited.Think about finding the murderer behind the scenes and eradicating him. The historical secrets in it are attractive enough for him, a time traveler.As for how the wheel of history turned and where it was going, he decided not to think about it anymore. It was nothing at all to be so timid.

The three captives were interrogated separately again, and it turned out that the other two were simply dishes—useless vegetables with no nutritional value. Only the dying Turkic soldier tortured by Ouyang had all the important information about the operation.But the head of the Turkic soldier was so sluggish, he would faint if he had a heavy hand, and he was on the verge of death.The three of them worked together, and it took a lot of patience to find out the only information, which was the location of the meeting!After hearing this information, the Turkic leader straightened his legs and passed away. As for whether he went to see the great god on the grassland or went to hell, that's unknown.

Ge and Liu stared at Ouyang with weird eyes, because the only information they found pointed directly to Ouyang's hometown - Panshan Village, the poor and dregs place Ouyang said.

This made Ouyang feel the favor of fate...or is it a trick?

The person with the highest position in the three special brigades sat or stood, discussed for a while in the small tent, and decided to divide the troops into three groups, with Song Ye leading the group to continue northward to inquire about the situation in Eyangling, to prepare for the first battle of Tongmo Road. Spy on some useful information; another route led by Liu Yuxuan led Yihuo to quickly report to the governor; the last route led by Ouyang led the team to Panshan Village with only Wulang, Qilang, Qin Feng and Zhao Ziang, and took a trip to this bad water.In fact, with Ouyang's own position and function, he does not have the right to arrest or act directly, but this is wartime, all circumstances are different, if this hidden poisonous snake and Turkic plans change or Ni Duan is discovered , the spies hiding in the army will hide like a loach, and the situation will be tricky.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch, and everyone worked together to bury the dead or not dead Turkic soldiers in the soil, and wiped out all traces of the existence of this team of 30 people, and immediately split up.The five of Ouyang rode one on two and galloped across the mountain, returning to the "hometown" they hadn't returned for a long time.

Along the way, the five of them had almost no time to watch any scenery, let alone there was no scenery to see near Panshan Mountain at this time. The few snowfalls since the beginning of winter have turned this place into a silver-white world, only those frost-resistant pines and cypresses To add a touch of dark green.But as the destination approached, Ouyang's heart became more and more restless.Is the ruined temple where I traveled to sleep still still there?Is the house of the Li family that has been vacant for a long time still safe?Is the old Wang Tou of the village Zheng still so fearful of guilt?Is the arrogant landlord in the village, Zhang Mingshan, dead?  …

The cold wind suddenly picked up, blowing the residual snow on the ground. Ouyang stretched out his hand to touch the fur shorts on his body, and remembered the "wind leaky" clothes that were full of holes when he first came to Datang. In the past three years, he has changed from a The unknown frozen ghost has become a hot general in the Bingzhou Army, and even a celebrity with more and more new and old friends along the way. He is like a magnet, gradually attracting them and sticking to him firmly. Let's face it, this circle, this camp is growing stronger day by day.Really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!

"Huh—" took a long breath, let out the excitement and miscellaneous thoughts in my heart, and told myself that now is not the time to return home, but to return to the place where I was reborn to find clueless things. Target.

Yes, without his clue, the only source of information they have is dead, and the first battle contact they can only grasp looks insignificant.But thinking that the power hidden under the water and making waves is about to reveal the tip of the iceberg, Ouyang still has some inexplicable expectations.

"Herod—" Several hisses broke the silence of Panshan Village, and five people and ten horses stood quietly at the entrance of the village.Only Ouyang stood at the front and carefully looked at everything that was once familiar.

When Ouyang left Panshan Village nearly three years ago, there were nearly a hundred families here. Although they only depended on hunting and poor land for their livelihood, they were somewhat popular.But looking at it now, it seems that this place is even more desolate and desolate. Many houses do not have a trace of fireworks. Obviously, no one lives in this cold winter.Even the dozens of acres of fields at the entrance of the village have grown countless weeds, whether they are neglected or completely abandoned.Of course, this has been influenced by the intensified Turkic invasion of the South in recent years, but it will not be so barren.

Is this still the Panshan Village where I was born?No matter how hard Ouyang tried, he still couldn't make the scene three years ago coincide with the present scene, which made him a little annoyed for no reason.

"Eighth brother..." Goro stood behind Ouyang, patted Ouyang's shoulder lightly, opened his mouth and didn't continue, but his brows were furrowed, full of preoccupations.

Qilang stood on the other side, looking at the place where he grew up with strange eyes, his fists clenched and loosened, and he was very surprised.

"Shut up! What are you yelling about? You deserve it for being poor. See if any incense sticks from your ancestors have not been burned properly, or if you have been lazy and playful! What I said from my mouth, Zhang, will not change. ! Ten tiger skins, each with four punctures, who will take over?" Zhang Tuzi squinted at the crowd, his chin almost raised to the sky.He sat on a bench that had been polished and polished by everyone, with a piece of cloth placed between his buttocks and the stool, for fear that his clothes would be stained by the bench that these poor dirty men sat on every day.

Ten tiger skins? !Everyone suspected that their ears had misunderstood the number. There was no task of fox deer skins, but this mouth was actually ten tiger skins. Who thought it would be too long to send themselves into the tiger's mouth?I think when Li Jiaqilang was in Panshan, he could still consider taking a long time to complete it.But after the mountain and the nearby headhunters were gone, no one could take up the task of hunting tigers for skins.Not to mention that there is only one tiger in several mountains, and there are not so many near Panshan Mountain.

The poor men in front of Zhang Tuzi suddenly became noisy. Now the young and strong people in the village who can walk have brought their families south to seek a living. The rest are either close or old, and there are very few children.Therefore, most of the arable land that was originally dry land was barren, and no one planted it at all.This had to exacerbate the vicious circle in Panshan Village, causing more labor to leave their homes.

"Steward Zhang, they are all from the village. You know the hunting job too. Let alone ten tigers, don't those tigers occupy a territory of tens or even hundreds of miles? How big is Panshan Village? Where can we find ten dogs? A tiger? If we take over this job, we won’t be able to pay the job if we don’t hit ten. If we want to make up enough, we have to run out of our territory with our lives. This is really not a problem. Can you talk to Zhang Dagui, Give......"

"Give me what!? Say what?! I think I have raised you all in the past years! I will give you money and pick and choose. If you don't want to pick it up, don't pick it up! At worst, find someone to pick it up in another village. We Yunzhou is the most indispensable. It’s Orion! You still want me to talk to the master? I’ve got the calculations on my head!” Long Tuo didn’t wait for the old Orion in his early years to finish speaking, he jumped up from the bench and opened his mouth to curse. It didn't match the pig's figure at all. He pointed at the old Orion and scolded him, while walking over step by step, he almost poked his finger in the old Orion's face, fully explaining what "aggressiveness" means.

The hunters surrounded by the side suddenly fell silent. Although they gritted their teeth with hatred in their hearts, after all, hunting for the old Zhang's family this year is a big profit, and sometimes it can last three or four months if it is done well. The harvest, so they can only endure, if they can't bear it, they have to endure it!

Zhang Tuzi squeezed the back of his hands tightly, this year is the most majestic at the moment, the arrogance and complacency in his heart can hardly be described.The corner of the mouth curled up, and he thought to himself that you gang of mud legs are still bargaining with me?Not enough!

"Steward Zhang is so majestic!" Zhang Tuozi, who was complacently unable to find Bei, was taken aback.He was enjoying himself secretly when there was such a sudden sound from behind that he almost jumped up in shock.Immediately, I was furious, and turned around while cursing: "Which son of a bitch dares to fart behind Grandpa's back? I don't want to be in Panshan—"

Zhang Tuozi's voice stopped abruptly, looking at the people behind him, he could no longer say the following words...
