Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 406
The three chatted for a few words, and Wu Le had already explained to Heishan that the people in the carriage must not be offended, and also said that Heishan was not asked to inquire about Li Wenxuan's name, so Heishan did not call Li Wenxuan by name, even though the words It's all about you and me. It sounded a little awkward, but on the contrary, they seemed a lot closer. Immediately, the two invited Li Wenxuan to have a drink together at night. Li Wenxuan didn't want to go against their good intentions, so he had to agree.

When it got dark, Li Wenxuan sent Mingzhu some food first, but Mingzhu didn't say a word, the food she sent didn't move, but she didn't seem angry. Li Wenxuan had nothing to do with her, so he simply ignored him and asked Wu Le and Montenegro went to drink.

Relying on the marrow washing sutra, Li Wenxuan never got drunk for a thousand cups. At first, Wu Le and Heishan frequently persuaded Li Wenxuan to drink, but Li Wenxuan didn't even frown when the glass was dry. Persuasion again, I am afraid that if this continues, before Li Wenxuan is brought down, I will not be able to bear it for a long time. They still have something to do at night, but Li Wenxuan doesn't care.

Seeing that the cups and plates were all messed up, the three of them were drinking and chatting, which was speculative. Hei Shan suddenly poked Wu Le and said, "General, I don't think it's better... since this brother is a great master, how about asking him to help you tonight?" ? Surely nothing will go wrong!"

Wu Le repeatedly waved to Heishan, but Heishan was a little dizzy from drinking, and he didn't see it, but Li Wenxuan heard all these words in his ears, and asked: "I don't know what you two want me to do. ?”

Wu Le hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, you are a guest, there is no reason for the host to ask guests to do things, let's just drink."

But Heishan said again: "General, the bandits from Funiu Mountain come and go without a trace, we are not afraid of confronting each other head on, if they use some kind of trick behind the scenes, tell me, just in case there is a mistake..."

Li Wenxuan immediately understood, and said, "General Heishan, you want me to help protect General Wule's sister tonight?"

Heishan said: "That's right, that's right, as long as you're here, I don't think any of those thieves will dare to do anything!"

Wu Le knew very well that Li Wenxuan was Han, and those bandits from Funiu Mountain were also Han. Although I Enxuan exchanged cups with them at the banquet, as long as Montenegro talked about marching and fighting, Li Wenxuan would keep silent. Li Wenxuan was not on the same side as them.Wu Le guessed that Li Wenxuan would probably not be able to help, and there was Ming Zhu here, and Wu Le was unwilling to use Ming Zhu's people indiscriminately, so as not to offend Ming Zhu.So he said: "Don't listen to him, you are a guest, how can we work as a guest? Besides, I have planted three hundred elite soldiers in the general's mansion, even if those bandits have three heads and six arms, they will never come back."

Li Wenxuan was originally unwilling to participate in such matters, but after hearing what Wu Le said, he had other thoughts in his heart: "If the people in Funiu Mountain don't know that there are so many ambushed soldiers in the general's mansion, if they really come in to rob people, then Aren't they going to be arrested? When the time comes, I'll have to help secretly, but if it comes out, I'm afraid it will be ugly."

So Li Wenxuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do with you and me, and the two invited me to drink again, so let's do our best!"

Wu Le was overjoyed, he didn't expect Li Wenxuan to help, this remark surprised him, and immediately wanted to toast to thank him, but Li Wenxuan said again: "But... please forgive me for my unfeeling request, if I help the general take those The people from Funiu Mountain have caught them, and they hope that the general can promise me to let them live."

Heishan immediately said: "How can this be done? This is a bandit..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wu Le patted Hei Shan and said, "You don't want to hurt your compatriots, do you?"

Li Wenxuan nodded and said: "That's right, they are going to kidnap the general's sister, it's really wrong, it's not done by a hero, but after all these people... I think the general is a cool person, I don't want your family to be kidnapped by them I went there, but I couldn't bear to hurt them, so I asked the general to agree."

Wu Le had encircled and suppressed the bandits on Funiu Mountain several times before, but they were fruitless. Not to mention the number of soldiers and horses inside, and where the stronghold was. Now that Yecheng is empty of defense, he also I was really worried that the bandits from Funiu Mountain would take advantage of the situation. It would be a trivial matter to kill a few soldiers. If they knocked down the city, it would be a crime of losing their heads. I originally planned to take this opportunity to capture two leaders of Funiu Mountain , but after hearing what Li Wenxuan said, he had another idea, why not sell Li Wenxuan a favor and agree to him, Mingzhu would probably be happy if he wanted to come, and if he could catch the person in Funiu Mountain, let him go, The people in Funiu Mountain owed Li Wenxuan favors, that is, they owed themselves favors. It was a good opportunity to exchange peace with the people in Funiu Mountain. When there were enough soldiers and horses in the city in the future, they would attack the mountains and not eat them. The hundreds of defenders in Yecheng really fought against the people of Funiu Mountain, and Wu Le was not sure of winning.

Wu Le said: "Okay, since brother has opened his mouth, you will be accepted there!"

Hei Shan's head was slow to make money, so he became anxious immediately, and was about to say no, Wu Le immediately said: "If you talk back again, I will ask you to guard the city gate tonight!"

Heishan had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. After all, guarding the city gate at night is really not a good job, and hardship is small, but embarrassment is a big deal.

Wu Le said again: "In this case, we might as well spend the night in this main hall tonight. The next door is the room of my wife and sister. We can hear any movement. I think those thieves will not dare to act rashly when they see us. , just here, but I have wronged the honored guest!"

Li Wenxuan said: "I'm fine, it's common to eat and sleep in the open air, but it's great to be here tonight!"

Wu Le gave Heishan a few instructions, and Heishan went out. Not long after, he brought several sheets of thick felt to spread a circle in the main hall, and put a spray of charcoal fire in the middle, and soon two more soldiers came. The freshly slaughtered lamb was roasted on the charcoal fire. After a while, someone brought a lot of other food. The three of them sat on the mat around the roasted lamb. Li Wenxuan looked at the battle and didn't think he was helping them tonight. The family members, on the other hand, are like barbecuing meat over a bonfire in the wild, only a piece of barking green grass is missing.

With delicious food, good wine is also indispensable, but Wu Le and Montenegro dared not drink any more, for fear of drinking too much and making an accident at night, but Li Wenxuan didn't care. But Li Wenxuan didn't realize it, and just drank his own. At first, Wu Le felt that Li Wenxuan was too greedy for alcohol, but then he and Hei Shan were amazed again and again. But they didn't change color at all, and they didn't feel drunk at all. However, they only thought that Li Wenxuan had an amazing drinking capacity, but they didn't know that Li Wenxuan would not get drunk even if his stomach was burst due to the benefits of the marrow washing sutra.

The night was dark and foggy, and the moonlight that fell in the general's mansion also became a gray piece under the thick fog. Wu Le and the leader of Montenegro have fought for many years, and he is well versed in sneak attacks at night. Seeing this situation, he fought even more. Twelve spirited, always pay attention to whether there is any abnormal movement around, Li Wenxuan is just the opposite of them, just sit on the blanket and meditate quietly, because as long as Li Wenxuan calms down, he can hear the sound of footsteps within ten feet , if someone really sneaked in, Li Wenxuan would naturally be the first to notice it.

However, seeing the fog getting thicker and thicker, the general's mansion was as quiet as it was, and there was nothing unusual about it. Wu Le's expression became more and more ugly. He really hoped that some people from Funiu Mountain could come here, otherwise his The day's effort was in vain, and because of the threat from Funiu Mountain, the entire General's Mansion was trembling for three consecutive days. If this word was spread, it would greatly damage the face of the General's Mansion. Being reduced to a laughing stock might affect his official career.

Li Wenxuan also felt strange in his heart. It is said that people in the Jianghu place the most importance on credit agreement, not to mention the famous heroes, even some low-level sects, those who have a bad reputation, and even Jiangyang thieves, also regard the reputation agreement as a It is a top priority, and it is natural that words must be followed. Hearing that Funiu Mountain has a lot of momentum nearby, it is said that since the letter was written three days ago, no matter what, someone should show his face. It is so quiet , it really doesn't make sense.

The three of them spent most of the night, but no one came. Seeing the sky gradually turn white, many soldiers who were ambushing in the general's mansion couldn't stand it any longer. They were tired and tired, and they all scolded the people from Funiu Mountain in their hearts. enough.

Wo Le was afraid of his thighs, and cursed: "A bunch of bastards, it's hard to deceive me!"

Heishan persuaded: "Don't be angry, general, maybe...they didn't dare to come because they saw that there are so many people in our general's mansion..." But Heishan said so, but he didn't quite believe it. People and horses have fought against each other, and they know that they are not the ones who will be easily scared off after seeing these hundreds of people.

Li Wenxuan shook his head and said: "No, people in Jianghu value credibility and promises the most, even more important than their own lives. Since they said they will come, they must come, but they haven't shown up yet, I'm afraid there are other reasons. Weird..."

Heishan said: "But you see, it's already dawn, and they are not stupid. In broad daylight, they might not even be able to pass through the city gate. How can they still enter and leave the heavily guarded general's mansion? Let me see that they will never Come again."

Li Wenxuan frowned and thought about it, but still felt that something was wrong.

Heishan saw that Wu Le and Li Wenxuan's expressions were not good, so he said casually: "Forget it, forget it, maybe they are foolish and can't find our general's mansion, but went to the kiln instead, haha!"

Wu Le didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, but then he said: "Could it be that they came here at night, but our soldiers didn't find out, and then she couldn't find anyone, so she withdrew?"

Li Wenxuan's heart tightened, and he said anxiously: "General, are most of the soldiers in your mansion surrounded by Lingmei?"

Wule said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Li Wenxuan stood up and shouted, "Oh! Oops!"

Wu Le and Heishan didn't know what happened to Li Wenxuan, they were about to ask each other, but they saw Li Wenxuan's figure flickered and rushed out.Wu Le knew there must be something wrong, so he ordered Hei Shan to stay, and he chased him out.

Li Wenxuan went straight to Mingzhu's room, patted the door several times, and shouted, "Are you in? Talk now!"

There was no movement in the room at all, so Li Wenxuan simply kicked open the door, only to see that the bed was empty, the Qingshuang sword was still on the bedside, but the Pearl was gone, he touched the bed board, it was already cold, the Pearl I don't know when it will no longer be here.

After Wu Le went out, Li Wenxuan disappeared, but after asking the soldiers all the way, he chased after Mingzhu, rushed in and saw that Li Wenxuan did not see Mingzhu, and asked, "This is... Miss Mingzhu?"

Li Wenxuan sighed: "The guards here are weak, and the three of us are drinking in the main hall, and she lives in Lingmei's room, so I'm afraid...the people from Funiu Mountain thought it was your sister and took her away. "

"Alas!" Wu Le swayed back, secretly cursing himself for being confused, then concentrated his attention, and went out to drink: "Send an order to rectify all the soldiers and horses in the city, and follow me to Funiu Mountain in half an hour!"

Although the soldiers outside didn't know what happened, they had to order to make arrangements immediately when they saw Wu Le's serious expression.

Li Wenxuan picked up the Qingshuang Sword and said, "General, don't do this!"

Wu Le said: "What? They kidnapped Miss Ming Zhu, shouldn't they save her?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Of course we have to save her, but these hundreds of people rushed over, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win. Even if they win, they may not be able to bring her back safely. The two groups of people are facing each other. If they take Mingzhu as a hostage, what will they do?" ?."

"This..." Wu Le hesitated for a while, and then said: "Then what do you say?"

Li Wenxuan waved the Qingshuang in his hand, and immediately the room was filled with a stern sword light, which made Wu Le dare not look at it directly, and then Li Wenxuan said: "The general will send some people who are familiar with the terrain to take me to Funiu Mountain. If I go into the mountain alone to save people, maybe I can bring back the pearl."

Wu Le said: "No, there are many bandits hiding there. If you go alone, it will be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth?"

Li Wenxuan said: "It's okay, I already fought against them once yesterday, and judging by their methods, I don't care even if there are one or two hundred people. General, hurry up and get someone to guide me, she is a girl... This cannot be delayed!"

Wule said: "Okay, it's up to you, I'll ask Heishan to lead the way for you, but you must be careful, I'll be there soon with my troops."

Li Wenxuan also felt that this was very safe, so he nodded in agreement, so Heishan took the fast horse, and brought a few capable soldiers and Li Wenxuan went out of the city first and went straight to Funiu Mountain, while Wule used all the troops from Yecheng , Then set off to Funiu Mountain.

Li Wenxuan and Heishan rode fast, not daring to rest for a while, and rushed to the foot of Funiu Mountain. Seeing that the mountain road was rough and the horse couldn't walk, they dismounted and walked instead.

Heishan and the soldiers he brought were far from Li Wenxuan's foot strength. There was no difference when they rode together before, but now they were walking, and the height was obvious. After a few steps, Li Wenxuan left them far behind.

Li Wenxuan thought that there was no time to waste, so he said: "General Heishan, tell me how to walk the mountain road ahead, and I will go by myself. You can take them back to meet General Wule first!"

Heishan said: "How did this happen? I came with you, and I will live and die together. If anyone is not rescued, why should I retreat first?"

Li Wenxuan said with a wry smile: "No, it's just that I walk faster by myself, so I won't waste time. In addition...the people on this mountain saw that the person who came was an officer and soldier from the Kingdom of Jin, and most of them would start fighting without saying a word. Most of you died here in vain, which is of no benefit to saving people, but it is easier for me to do things alone!"

Heishan said reluctantly: "This...well, I'll listen to you, but let's make an agreement in advance. If you can't come out safely by noon, the general and I will kill you and go up the mountain!"

Afterwards, Heishan gave Li Wenxuan a rough account of the route up the mountain, but Heishan knew very little, and only told Li Wenxuan the outlying route. As for where the people in Funiu Mountain were hiding, Heishan didn't know either.

After Li Wenxuan bid farewell to the Black Mountain, he immediately got up and walked like flying on the rugged mountain road. The rocks about ten feet high jumped up and floated gently in front of Li Wenxuan. He and the few Jin soldiers were stunned watching from behind, only feeling that if Li Wenxuan didn't take them into the mountain, ninety-nine out of ten thought they would be a hindrance.

Li Wenxuan walked along the mountain road all the way to the depths of Funiu Mountain, but the mountain road was desolate, and no one could be seen, and there were many more mountain roads than those mentioned in the Black Mountain Pass. Distinguishing between southeast and northwest is like a maze, and all the roads look similar, and I can't remember them. It's no wonder that Wule's previous conquests failed several times.

Li Wenxuan couldn't find any trace of Mingzhu, and watched the time go by, and became more and more anxious, knowing that there was no way to go on like this, so he walked all the way, shouting all the way: "Let's go to Li Wenxuan, and invite the hero of Funiu Mountain to show up." one sight!"

Li Wenxuan yelled all the way, although his feet were limited, but with his internal strength, his voice covered half of the mountainside.

This trick really worked. Just when Li Wenxuan was walking to a three-way intersection, he suddenly heard a trumpet on the mountain above, followed by shouts from all directions, and soon many people and horses poured out of the three mountain roads. The people were all dressed like ordinary peasants, but they all had unfriendly expressions, each holding a weapon, and there were more than a dozen strong bows aimed at Li Wenxuan's vitals.

When Li Wenxuan saw these people, not only was he not surprised, but he was relieved. After all, it was much better now than before when he couldn't even see a single person, so he didn't panic, and just looked at what they planned to do.

This group of people stared at Li Wenxuan for a while, and no one had any intention of doing anything. Finally, a scholar-like man walked out of the crowd. He looked less than 30 years old. He stared at Li Wenxuan and asked, "You It's Li Wenxuan?" His tone was somewhat puzzled, as if he didn't quite believe it.

Li Wenxuan said: "Exactly, I am Li Wenxuan!"
