This year's Mid-Autumn Festival came quickly in the heat and drought. When the moon was rounded into a pancake, Shi Wuduan received the battle report - Gu Huaiyang had led his troops through Dongyue once again, and won the last big hurdle in the Central Plains ——Xu Nan Daying captured Song Ah alive.
Then General Song committed suicide.
Perhaps his name will shine through in the future. He is a stubborn man, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, born in the most decadent era, but never compromised with the Pope. Protected the last dignity of a samurai with his life.
…
The premise is that no one knows that this is a huge scam.
And now, the deception will continue.
Shi Wuduan holds a group of the most mysterious people in troubled times. It was originally a small chamber of commerce established by some plundered wealth through extraordinary means, and then slowly extended its hands to farther places to cultivate more forces and strongholds. , as time went on, it became more secretive and more intricate.
Perhaps except for Shi Wuduan himself who built it himself, no one can sort out the complex system, and no one knows how it works. Up to now, even Gu Huaiyang vaguely knows that Shi Wuduan has some devices that can transmit messages quickly. Merchants and soldiers.
It's just that they are still good brothers right now, and Gu Huaiyang is still a tyrant in troubled times who "employs people without suspicion, suspects people without use", and has no energy to be afraid of doing things for no reason.
This special news channel brought Shi Wuduan the second news—the emperor had no choice but to use Yan Zhen again.
Sure enough——Shi Wuduan thought as he sat on the chair, he was peeling a pear with a small knife, which was originally done by Bai Li, but all the fruits Bai Li handled became no bigger than the core, I don’t know How did he do it in detail, even his sleeves were wet.
Shi Wudu observed behind him in admiration for a while, thinking that Bai Li's ten fingers were actually decorations—they couldn't even open the seams, so he had to sit on the rattan chair in the yard and took the knife from him. stand up.
Seeing this scene, a young man dressed as a tea buddy next to him didn't even lift his eyelids, but his voice paused, and he continued: "On the second day after Yan Zhenguan was reinstated, he sent someone to the Amu Grassland."
"Ah." Shi Wuduan smiled when he heard this, and said, "When I just want to sleep, someone will give me a pillow."
The young man dressed as a clerk said flatly: "Yan Zhen got up and down a few times, the emperor just remembered to get up and answer him at this time, it is too late, if this is a game of chess, there are not many pieces on the chessboard at this time." The position, what he wants to do, is actually very easy to guess."
"You can't say that." Shi Wuduan handed the peeled pear to Bai Li. At first, when there were people around, Bai Li would automatically avoid it, but after getting used to it, he stopped hiding, but he didn't speak. It was like a background, and then Shi Wudu's fingers picked between a plate of pears—as if he could really see the difference between them. After a long time, he remembered the topic of Yan Zhen, so he continued, "Although the Yan family... can be regarded as loyal and good for generations, Yan Zhen is different from his father. Even though he is a high-ranking and powerful man, and now he is old, he can imagine that when he was young, he must have been a deviant person. Even now, in the When doing some things, I am also used to taking the edge of the sword, and there is an evil spirit in my actions."
The other two listened quietly, but Shi Wuduan seemed to remember something, and said: "When I first met him in Jiulu Mountain, Yan Zhen once said that he would accept me as a disciple. Although the two of us are deadly rivals, there is a sense that we have a similar taste."
The young man was not moved, but just said: "Ask Master Liu, what should we do next."
"According to the plan." Shi Wuduan said, and after a while, he added, "Whether it's the eldest brother or the head of Xia, there is no need to inform them, you know how to do it."
The young man said: "Yes."
After saying that, he turned and left, as if he had never been here before.
Shi Wuduan raised his eyes, and found that Bai Li had finished eating a pear in silence, and was sitting there waiting for the next one. People came and went, and he didn't even lift an eye. The fruit in Shi Wuduan's hand seemed extremely focused, and his eyes reminded Shi Wuduan of the rabbit he once leaned over.
Shi Wudu suddenly felt... In fact, Bai Li is a very easy-to-support person, as long as he is fed on time, he is not even picky about food.
At this time, Lan Ruo came in with a large plate of crispy mooncakes, and said softly: "Liu Ye, this is specially sent by Si Niang. It is said that someone made it according to the imperial meal in the palace. Please Liu Ye and … Mr. Bai, try it.”
She glanced at Bai Li, then quickly looked away, as if she was afraid of him.
Bai Li was sitting there as if no one else was there, but raised his eyes the moment Lan Ruo came in. His sharp eyes, when they were full of murderous intent in the past, even a brave warrior looked at him, and his whole body was cold, let alone such a girl.
Lan Ruo was startled, and the tray in her hand almost fell to the ground, but Shi Wudu caught it—the mooncake was made out of nowhere, it was surprisingly crispy, and with such a slight shock, it scattered by itself, revealing the color inside Nice stuffing.
Lan Ruo's face turned pale, but before she could speak, Shi Wuduan waved his hand lightly and said, "It's okay."
He looked at the surprisingly crispy mooncake with some curiosity, picked up a small piece and tasted it, and said with emotion: "When I first met Si Niang, she was still a cook who could roll up her sleeves and cook by herself." Fan Niang, I never imagined that she can do so many tricks now."
Thinking about being unfortunately born in this era, killing people is a more noble skill than cooking
Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly a hand stretched out and wrapped it around his neck without any seriousness. Bai Li quickly moved over and licked a bit of mooncake crumbs from the corner of his mouth. Lan Ruo glanced at it. The poor girl had no choice but to stare at her nose, nose, nose, and mouth, and was immediately too frightened to say a word.
Shi Wuduan spent a cup of tea before he could react. After staying for a while, his face blushed imperceptibly, he looked away, and said to Lan Ruo: "You... you go first, today is the holiday, rest early, there is no need to do it what."
Lan Ruo murmured, and floated out like sleepwalking.
Shi Wuduan glanced at Bai Li and said in a low voice, "What are you doing in front of people?"
Bai Li looked at Lan Ruo's back full of hostility, and said, "She is the one who serves you? What do they mean by finding such an unmarried woman to serve you?"
Shi Wuduan was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he first saw Lan Ruo when he was injured, he had lost his mind for a long time because her eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like Bai Li, so he couldn't help looking at Bai Li and laughing.
Bai Li said angrily, "What are you laughing at..."
Shi Wuduan stuffed a broken mooncake into his mouth and said, "Squeeze the sour gas."
But Bai Li grabbed his wrist and deliberately took his fingertips into his mouth. There seemed to be a little sweat on his palms, and he stared at Shi Wuduan's eyes—that man's eyes were as clear as blackboards many years ago, but there was a shallow mark between his brows because he smiled less and frowned more, which made him feel uncomfortable There was always some sadness on his handsome face.
Bai Li thought, in fact, he has never been happy in these years.
At this time, Lan Ruo, who had already gone out, just woke up like a dream, remembering what she was about to tell Shi Wudu just now—the third master is here.
However, it was too late, Lu Yunzhou had been a little polite before asking her to report on his behalf, he didn't wait for someone from inside to invite him, and walked in as if entering his own house.
From the point of view of the Red Scarf Army, the battle situation has been quite stable. He returned to Huaizhou base camp this time because of his youngest daughter Lu Lu's marriage. By the way, he heard that Shi Wuduan had come back and came to see him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Bai Li first.
Meng Zhongyong will not be able to remember who Bai Li is for a while, Lu Yunzhou can see it. When Shi Wudu and Bai Li clashed because of Yin Corpse Fire back then, he was the one who swung his sword across, intending to fight this ungrateful monster to the death. Now, although Third Brother Lu's daughter has already passed the rites and is ready to marry, he still does not change the heroic spirit of the rivers and lakes that he never agreed with and drew his sword.
When he saw Bai Li at first glance, he was stunned for a moment—then he pulled out the long sword on his waist in a rage, and said angrily: "Monster, how dare you come to Huaizhou!"
Shi Wudu's tongue skills are good, but due to his slow-moving habit, his words are always not as fast as Lu Yunzhou's sword. Before he can make a sound, Lu Yunzhou's sword has been handed over, and Bai Li floated out from the place where he was sitting. It seemed to fall to the side without paying attention.
But he just hid and didn't fight back, his eyes were on Shi Wudu.
Shi Wudu hurriedly said: "Third Brother!"
Lu Yunzhou shouted: "Shut up!"
Shi Wudu wanted to roll his eyes at the sky. He felt that this situation was very familiar. At that time, when he heard that Lu Lu was in love with the younger brother of a striker under Gu Huaiyang, he was smashed by her father. His future father-in-law chased down Ba Tiao Jie with a sword.
He raised his hand and grabbed the silver chopsticks on the table, leaned against Lu Yunzhou's sword tip, and still said unhurriedly: "Third brother, take your time first, listen to me..."
Even under normal circumstances, Lu Yunzhou didn't have the patience to listen to him finish his sentence, let alone being so angry at the moment, Lu Yunzhou scolded lightly, a knife in his hand forced Shi Wudu's wrist to hang down, and he didn't even look at him—look at Bai Li's His eyes were extremely hateful, as if he was a little girl who was kidnapped by bad guys.
Shi Wudu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Bai Li didn't have such a good temper, he was already annoyed by this person one after another, he flicked his sleeve and deflected Lu Yunzhou's sword, and said coldly, "Who are you, what are you meddling in? I made mistakes back then, and I didn't have the same knowledge as you, do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"
When Lu Yunzhou heard this, he seemed to be fueled by fire. He was so angry that he didn't even know his daughter. He wanted to wear Bai Li into candied haws, but who knew that a shadow suddenly flashed over, and the tip of his sword came out again. Difficult to move forward - Shi Wuduan clamped his sword with two chopsticks this time.
Shi Wuduan said in a weak tone: "Third brother, I'm not Xiaolu."
Lu Yunzhou laughed back angrily: "You are not as good as Lu Lu, at least she knows not to mix with such evil spirits."
Bai Li squinted his eyes and said eagerly, "What am I, it's not your turn to comment."
Lu Yunzhou said: "I don't need to say anything, just kill you!"
Bai Li sneered, "It's up to you?"
Lu Yunzhou: "Just rely on this sword in my hand!"
Bai Li said: "Ha!"
Shi Wuduan finally couldn't take it anymore, he frowned and said, "Okay!"
As if he was unconscious, he directly grabbed Lu Yunzhou's sword with his hand, and the blade cut a small hole in his palm. Fortunately, he didn't use any force and the blood didn't bleed much.
Shi Wuduan pressed the tip of the sword against himself, and said: "Third brother, if you are not angry, you can stab here. I can't explain all the internal and external circumstances of the past, in short... In fact, I was more wrong."
Behind him, Bai Li's expression was shocked, all the coldness was eased.
Lu Yunzhou couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Shi Wudu! You...have you read too many dramas?"
Shi Wuduan couldn't help showing a little smile, he was so non-serious, and made Lu Yunzhou furious, Third Brother Lu said "Hey", looked at him, then at Bai Li, gritted his teeth and dropped his hands Hitting the sword, he turned around without looking back, and strode away—as if seeing this pair of dogs and men would make the eye of a needle.
Shi Wuduan wiped off the blood on his hands, and added behind him: "Third brother, don't worry, when Xiao Lu puts on her wedding dress, I, as the sixth uncle, will also give her a dowry."
These words were like no matter what to say, the prospective father-in-law, who originally thought this cheap son-in-law was not pleasing to the eye, finally stopped, gave him a hard look, and then walked faster, as if the wind was blowing under his feet.
Before the Double Ninth Festival came this year, Lu Lu, the jewel in the palm of the third master, put on her wedding dress. At the age of three, the little girl who had made a big wish, saying that she would marry the sixth uncle when she grew up, finally abandoned her god-long-seen-shoulder The sixth uncle, who has never been seen, married someone else's wife.
In October of the same year, Gu Huaiyang's army continued to march north, and the civil and military officials of Pingyang's imperial capital panicked. Yan Zhen actually mobilized 100,000 demon troops from the Amu Grassland to confront the Red Scarf Army and face Tai'an Mountain Sun, and the battle was stalemate again.
