Tomin in The Alien World

Two days later, the news of Tianyan and geonet finally came back, but the specific situation of the enemy is still unclear. It's not that the spies don't want to find out, but that they can't find out at all.

The Peng army on the other side of Panshui is extremely heavily guarded. The patrolling guards even extend tens of miles away, especially in the dense forest opposite Lishan City, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. The spies of Tianyan and underground network will be found if they are slightly close. It is for this reason that all the spies previously sent have been poisoned by the enemy.

The spies did not dare to get too close this time, and the information investigated was very general. It was only proved that the troops of Peng army were between 10000 and 20000. Judging from the forest hollow observed in the distance, there should be more than 20 stone catapults hidden in it.

This little poor information is almost useless to Tang Yin, but Lotte and Aijia brought back a villager, which surprised Tang Yin.

The villager is about 30 years old. He is black and thin, not tall and young, but his skin is rough like a dried orange peel. His clothes are good, not new, but they haven't been patched. After being led near by Lotte and Aijia, he looked around, his eyes were not enough, and he felt fresh looking at everything.

Tang Yin looked at the man, shrugged and smiled, then looked at le and AI and asked, "who is he?"

"His name is Zhao an, a villager in the east of Lishan city." Lotte replied.

Aijia glanced back at the villagers, frowned and scolded, "if you see an adult, don't you salute quickly?"

"My lord? What Lord?" Zhao an looked at Tang Yin without hesitation. Tang Yin is now wearing only a coat, shirtless inside. In Zhao an's eyes, he naturally doesn't have the prestige of Lotte and Aijia. Naturally, he thinks that his official should be no bigger than Lotte and Aijia.

Aijia glared at him and whispered, "this is Lord Tang Yin Tang."

Hearing this, Zhao an was surprised. Obviously, he didn't expect that the sick young man in front of him was Tang Yin. He was stunned at first, then fell on his knees with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice: "little... Villain... Zhao an, see... Have seen Lord Tang!"

Tang Yin didn't have the mind to waste on the villagers now. He just waved his hand casually and said, "get up!" After saying that, he looked at Lotte and Aijia puzzled.

Aijia stepped forward and said positively, "my Lord, Zhao an said he knew there was a shoal in Panshui. He could cross the river even if he didn't need a boat or raft."

"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up and turned to Zhao an.

Zhao an had never seen a person's eyes so bright that they almost gave off light. He had stood up, but under Tang Yin's gaze, his legs softened, his body lowered, and knelt down again. He didn't dare to lift his head, let alone look at Tang Yin.

Seeing this, Tang Yin smiled and said softly, "Zhao an, you don't have to be afraid. I'm not a tiger and won't eat you."

He was a joke, but Zhao an was still afraid to look up when he knelt on the ground. Instead, he replied: "yes, yes, yes... Adults are not tigers and won't eat me..."

Pooh! Aijia couldn't help laughing. Tang Yin was also happy. She motioned the bodyguards around to bring a chair and let Zhao an sit down.

Zhao an has never faced an official as big as Tang Yin in his life, and he has never seen anything in the world. At this time, he is nervous and afraid, and his body trembles into a ball. Even if he sits in a chair, his ass is only sticking to one side, and his body is stiff, as if he would slide down from the chair at any time.

Tang Yin asked with a smile, "Zhao an, do you know that there are shoals in Panshui, and you can pass without a boat?"

"Yes... Yes!" Zhao an stammered.

"Where is it?" Tang Yin's body, which was originally lying on the soft collapse, also subconsciously sat up.

"Go back... Answer the person, just... Ten miles east of Lishan city."

"Oh?" Tang Yin stared at Zhao an without blinking. His sharp eyes seemed to see his heart directly. After a long pause, he turned his eyes, grabbed the map next to the collapse, threw it at Zhao an and said, "show it to me!"

Zhao an always kept his head down. He was hit by the map thrown at him coldly. He was scared and slipped out of his chair to the ground. After staying for a while, he came back to his senses. His hands trembled and unfolded the map. He looked at it right and back. Finally, he dared to raise his head, looked at Tang Yin in embarrassment, and whispered, "adults... Villains can't understand... Villains can't read..."

Alas! Tang Yin sighed powerlessly. There was really nothing he could do for such a villager. He smiled and said, "tell me, how do you know that shoal? How many people know that place? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Lord Hui, there are not many people who know about the shoal, and the villain also found it inadvertently. Moreover, it is the shoal only when the pan water ebbs in July and August. In normal months, the river water there is still very deep..."

After hearing this, Tang Yin was angry and wanted to curse his mother. Now it was the beginning of April, which was still far from July and August. By July and August, his main force had arrived long ago, and tens of thousands of wooden rafts could be built. What else do you need to find a shoal to cross the river?

His face was still pleasant, but his fist had been clenched slowly, and his eyes drifted to Lotte and Aijia from time to time, and his dissatisfaction had been revealed.

Lotte and Aijia also grinned secretly. When they found the villager, he didn't say to wait until July and August. Isn't it nothing to ask for trouble and cause trouble to adults?

When Zhao an told him he was behind, Tang Yin sat up and lay back, closed his eyes, waved and said, "give him some silver and send him away."

"My Lord, i..." Lotte wanted to explain, but he really didn't know what to say. Finally, he had to shake his head reluctantly and said to Zhao an, "man, let's go!"

Lotte was about to pull Zhao an out, but the latter hurriedly said, "big... Sir, the villain hasn't finished yet!"

Tang Yin was lazy to look at him more and asked with closed eyes, "what else do you have to say?"

"Yes, that's right! Adults still have a way to cross the river without a boat."

Tang Yin sneered, "continue to walk the shoal you said?"

"Yes, my Lord." Zhao an spits in her throat, Explained in detail: "The tide is heavy in the north of the river, and the forest is also wet. Mushrooms grow almost all year round. Villains often go to the north of the river to pick them, which can not only support their family, but also get them to the city for some household. However, they have to pay money every time they cross the river. How can villains pay so much money every day? So villains wait until the tide ebbs in August and pull a rope from the south bank to the north bank in the shoal, no matter what Whether the tide is rising or falling, as long as you grasp this rope, the villain can easily swim from the south bank to the north bank. Over the years, there has been no accident, and this rope is hidden in the river. Almost no one knows except the villain. "

"Oh? Is there something else?" Tang Yin's body sat up again, his eyes glowed again, and his mind flew around. He carefully analyzed Zhao an's words, and thought it over carefully. He nodded quietly and asked with a smile, "are these what you said true?"

"Even if you have the courage, you don't dare to cheat adults!"

Tang Yin tilted her head, turned her eyes and said with a smile, "OK! Take me. If what you say is true, I will reward you a hundred liang of gold. If what you say is false, I will ask you to put your head on your head!"

After hearing this, Zhao an was not afraid. Instead, he was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot. You should know that one hundred liang of gold is enough for ordinary villagers to live a lifetime. How can he be unhappy and not excited when he flies this windfall? He nodded again and again and said in a hurry, "yes, yes, yes! Small, I'll take the adult to check it!"

Tang Yin was very satisfied with his reaction. From this, we can see that this person doesn't seem to be pretending to cheat. If he is really a fine work of Peng Jun, his acting skills would be too superb.

Tang put up a pageantry and decided to go there personally. But he was worried that there was a line of Pang in the pear mountain city. Instead of dares to go on a big trip, instead of wearing casual clothes, he only had happy, Ai Jia, Cheng Jinsan and Zhao An. They came out quietly from the back door of the capital of the county, and got on the carriage and headed for the East.

After leaving the city, Tang Yin confirmed that there were no spies behind him. Then Tang Yin asked Zhao an to lead the way to the shoal he said.

The shoal mentioned by Zhao an is located ten miles away from the east of Lishan city. Here is the foot of Lishan Mountain. There is no road. The ground is full of stones and weeds. The carriage can't pass. When you come here, the carriage can only stop. Tang Yin also came from the car, supported by Cheng Jin and others, and walked to the shoal.

While walking, Tang Yin also asked curiously, "Zhao an, do you say the rope is hidden in the river?"

"Yes, my Lord!" Zhao an replied respectfully.

"How long has it been?"

"Almost five years."

Tang Yin smiled and asked casually, "five years? For such a long time, won't the rope rot in the river?"

Yo! Rakuten and Aijia really didn't think about this. They both looked at Zhao an.

Zhao Anle replied, "no, no, the villain uses oil rope. Let alone five years, it's OK to soak in the river for ten or twenty years."

Tang Yin, Lotte, Aijia and Cheng Jin are no strangers to the oil rope he said. Oil rope is made of special vines soaked in oil repeatedly, which is strong and water-resistant. It is usually used in the army as a rope for binding armor. Tang Yin said with a smile, "can you make oil rope?"

"Yes, the villain learned from the big brother."

"Your brother is..."

"My eldest brother is the central army and used to be..."

"Oh?"

"But two years ago, the eldest brother went to Ningguo and died in Hedong county." Speaking of this, Zhao an's expression became lonely, and his eyes also showed a sad color. Hedong region is the focus of the struggle between Feng and Ning, and the Feng country has always regarded Hedong region as its own territory. Therefore, Hedong region is generally called Hedong County in Feng country.
