Horse on the World

Chapter 871
With the help of Ma Zhen, the owner of Mengtu Cave, Malanhua hid in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and began to secretly contact the tribes that were still loyal to Mata. However, most of these tribes were severely beaten by King Ning, or were annexed. Either flee into the mountains, trying to contact and gather them is not a simple matter.

Now Zhong Ziqi has confirmed that the Malan flower has entered the Shiwan Dashan, but this area is so large, it is impossible for Zhong Ziqi to find these native-born locals in a hurry. Shi, the current strategy can only roughly delineate a range and exclude them one by one.After all, after Malanhua enters the mountain, she will never be content with being lonely, but will actively gather the old troops and gather strength in order to avenge her father. He is afraid that she will not move. As long as she moves, Zhong Ziqi believes that he will be able to find her. remove it.

But right now, Zhong Ziqi's main attention was still on the fringes of Shiwan Dashan, in the Fukang and Madian areas, where the Dingzhou soldiers were sharpening their knives and might enter the mountain at any time.Although there are natural barriers such as mountains, Zhong Ziqi did not dare to take it lightly. Facts have proved that in the confrontation with Dingzhou soldiers, those who took it lightly and didn't take it seriously have now gone to drink tea at King Yama.

When Malanhua entered the mountain, in the area controlled by the Dingzhou soldiers in Ningzhou, there was another person who was also causing trouble for the senior management of Dingzhou and the Overwatch Council. That was Xu Siyu. Like the world evaporated, without a trace.

Xu Siyu is not like Lan Yu, he is a simple commander of the army. This person has high martial arts skills, proficient in lurking, disguise, assassination, and high martial arts skills. A person can not only become a very threatening assassin, but also good at commanding troops to fight. Such a person lurking in Ningzhou is like a time bomb, which will detonate with a bang at some point. After all, Ningzhou Zhou has just been naturalized, and there are many people who hate Dingzhou in the territory and are loyal to King Ning.

In order to catch Xu Siyu, the Dingzhou Supervisory Council specially sent Han Yong, deputy director of the Field Service Department, to Ningzhou to sit in town.Han Yong's background is huge. Leaving aside his status as the deputy director of the Field Service Department of the Overwatch Council, his father, Han Renjie, was the senior brother of Zhong Jing, the number one master in Dingzhou, and his martial arts skills can also be ranked among the world's super masters. Although Han Yong is still not on the same level as his father and uncle, his martial arts are still top-notch in the world, and because of Zhong Jing's relationship, Qingfeng has spared no effort in cultivating Han Yong. After several years, Han Yong has become The No. 1 young school in the Overwatch Council won the trust of Qingfeng.This time Han Yong was dispatched from Dingzhou, which also showed Qingfeng's importance to Xu Siyu.
Dingzhou cast a net to search and arrest Xu Siyu, especially in the direction of Shiwanda Mountain, the arrangement was more stringent, a large number of Overwatch Council personnel stationed in Ningzhou branch, plus Han Yong's capable detectives from the Field Service Department brought from Dingzhou Xu Siyu's last hope was lost if it was just the military.
Although he couldn't enter the mountain, Xu Siyu made it impossible for Han Yong to catch him. At this moment, Xu Siyu was hiding in Xiantao County, which was less than [-] miles away from Ningzhou City, just south of Fukang and north of it.As the saying goes, it's dark under the lamp, Xiantao is too close to Ningzhou City, and it's the opposite of Shiwan Dashan, so the search here is much weaker, Xu Siyu has been lurking here for a long time.

The reason for choosing Xiantao is that it is difficult for the other party to imagine that there is the most famous [-]-mile Jianhu Lake in Ningzhou in the territory of Xiantao. In the season when the reeds are growing vigorously, if there is a real danger of being discovered, as long as you flee to Jianhu Lake, no matter how many people can find him, besides, Dingzhou's troops stationed in Ningzhou do not have navy troops. How can pretending to be a duck show its skills in Jianhu Lake?

The so-called relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, just like Fukang people relying on hundreds of thousands of mountains to make a living, Xiantao people rely on the rich water resources of Jianhu Lake, which is eight hundred miles away. In addition to being the main rice producing area in Ningzhou, here, There are also countless people who make a living by fishing. On Jianhu Lake, there are more than ten thousand fishermen?Large and small boats are like crucian carp crossing the river. They start at sunrise and return at sunset every day, freely on Jianhu Lake.

Honghuatao is a settlement near the lake in Xiantao. It is mainly populated by fishermen who make a living from fishing. The large shantytowns show that the people here are still living a very poor life. Many people stay on the boat for many years. Occasionally they come ashore to stay for a few days. These low shacks surrounded by wood and reed mats in the red flower cover are the homes of these people.

There are hundreds of fishing boats, big and small, parked along the coast. The sun is rising and the sun is shining. It is a good time to go out of the lake. The fishing boats sail away from the shore amidst the joyful singing of the fishermen, with the hope of a good harvest. Hope sails towards the center of the lake and gradually disappears from the public's sight. For the ordinary people, it doesn't make much difference who rules them. Anyway, they fish and sell fish, pay taxes, and whoever is the boss doesn't matter. Is it inseparable from them ordinary people?What's more, after the Ningzhou people came, they have sent an official from Dingzhou. According to the official, everyone will not have to pay taxes this year. The fishermen can save a lot of money, which makes the people here really happy for several days. It seems that the people in Dingzhou are not as terrible as those officials said before. At least until now, no one has seen Burning, killing, looting, and all kinds of crimes were done as advertised before. On the contrary, the Dingzhou officials and soldiers stationed here are very friendly and have no airs of being an official.

In fact, the common people's demands have never been high. As long as they can survive and fill their stomachs, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the king.
On the sandy beach, a dark-skinned old man sat cross-legged in front of a large pile of fishing nets. He was carefully arranging the fishing nets, repairing the damaged places while arranging them. He had a half-humped back and gray hair, which was tattered but washed neatly. His clothes were no different from those of the fishermen who were doing the same work around him at the moment. After mending for a while, he reached out and beat his back, coughed a few times, and raised his eyes to look around. Only at this time, if he deliberately observed him, could he You will find that the occasional light in this person's eyes does not match his current appearance.
Two middle-aged men came over carrying a pile of fishing nets and threw them on the ground. They were tidying the fishing nets slowly, talking and laughing, but the content of their conversation was different from that of an ordinary fisherman. Life has absolutely nothing to do with it.

"My lord, the surveillance outside is still extremely tight, and there is no way to get out. Now, only here is relaxing. In the direction of the Shiwan Dashan, there are dense guard posts, and the Overwatch Council has countless guard posts and secret posts," said a middle-aged man.

"It's not safe for adults to stay in this place all the time. I heard that Dingzhou people are about to start cleaning up their household registrations in this shanty town and register them. In this way, the identity of adults will be exposed. It's better to enter sooner." Go to the lake, find a small island and hide it first, and then think of other ways after the wind blows." Another person said.

The old fisherman coughed a few times, lowered his head, and while mending the fishing net, he said with a wry smile: "It's true that they think highly of me. They haven't relaxed at all after such a long time. It seems that they won't give up until they catch me." Already, have you heard any news about General Lan?"
A middle-aged man said: "My lord, General Lan is not locked in the cell in Fukang County. When I went to sell fish, there were rumors about it all over the street. It seems that Dingzhou people are deliberately protesting. I inquired about it." For a moment, General Lan is locked in the original cell of the county government. There are still our brothers there, my lord. Otherwise, we will go to the prison and rescue General Lan. Let’s slip into the Jianhu Lake. They can help us what?"

The old fisherman shook his head vigorously, "Don't act rashly, General Lan has such a high status, there must be strict security there, if you rush in rashly, you can only cast yourself into a trap."

The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "I went to find out, the defense there is not very strict, and the old gang of policemen are still guarding it, but General Lan's injury is not healed yet, and it will take a lot of effort to save him." Twists and turns."

The old fisherman raised his head, "This is even more problematic. Seizing General Lan is a major victory for the people of Dingzhou. How could they be so lax? According to what you said, there is a big trap. Waiting for us to get in! We have done things like this before. This Han Yong is too underestimating me. He wants to lure me in with such a small trick? Tell all the brothers that there is no one for me. Order, no one can act rashly, you are all obediently lurking, you will be of great use in the future, and you must not be easily folded in."
"Yes, my lord!"

"By the way, my lord, I saw someone unexpectedly today."
"A person, who?"
"General Pang Dapang!" Another middle-aged man whispered. "Although General Pang has changed his clothes and disguised his face, you always know that I am an expert in disguise. I have seen General Pang several times before, so I recognized him at a glance. "

"Pang Da?" The old fisherman raised his head in shock, "He is still alive, how could he appear here?"
"I saw General Pang and two people bought some things in Xiantao County, and then left the city. The villain followed quietly and found General Pang's residence. It was only a few miles away from Xiantao County, on the edge of Jianhu Lake , in a small village."

The eyes of the old fisherman flickered, "It seems that old General Pang has already prepared, yes, you go down and prepare, we will visit General Pang Da tonight!"

"Yes, my lord!" The two middle-aged men answered in a low voice, carried the packed fish on their shoulders, and walked towards the boat by the lake, while the old fisherman also bowed and stood up, slowly Go back to the shack not far away.

After closing the door of the hut, the old fisherman straightened up immediately, and a pair of eyes that were originally cloudy were shining with light, "Pang Da, okay, interesting, since I can't go back, let's do something here , Eight hundred miles away from Jianhu Lake, there is a lot to do!" He sneered.
