Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Bolin, who had just fought with him until he was blushing and thick-necked, and the others changed their ways and stood by his side.
If it is just a civil strife, with Zhou Fei's skills, he is indeed qualified to be a personal envoy, but the imperial court is besieging the city with heavy troops?
Zhang Bolin said bluntly, "A Fei, it's none of your business."
Lin Hao was a little more euphemistic: "You can't say that, there is still one important thing to entrust to Junior Sister Zhou. While there is chaos at the bottom of the mountain, can Junior Sister Labor run errands and send a letter to the boss? This is about... ā¦ā
"Life or death in the village?" Zhou Fei interrupted him unceremoniously, "How many hidden piles do we have left outside? Senior Brother Lin, do you know which mountainside the boss is now?"
Lin Hao was at a loss for words.
Zhou Fei continued: "The puppet dynasty sent troops to attack the forty-eight villages, the news will fly to the ears of the boss with long legs, and it will definitely be faster than me looking for her all over the world like a headless fly. Brother Lin doesn't understand this. ? Are you stupid or am I stupid?"
Lin Hao: "..."
Zhou Fei imitated his respectful and smooth appearance and bowed her head slightly, then added, "Junior sister is rude and disrespectful."
Zhao Qiusheng stared with a beard and said, "Zhou Fei, what do you want?"
"Give me a hundred people." Zhou Fei said bluntly, "The rest will stick to the gate of the village, be cautious, and don't worry about the safety of the village. Don't worry, don't the puppet dynasty have tens of thousands of troops? I have them. The dozens of villages and towns surrounding the cliffs are not necessarily less than anyone else, and there is no reason to be afraid of them. Moreover, there are Mingfeng, Beidou, and officials of the puppet dynasty at the foot of the mountain. I also don't believe they are close. Give me and the time, and I'll pick a few heads and come back for drinks."
The last sentence she uttered was not murderous, but rather cold and natural. Before Zhao Qiusheng could speak, Zhou Fei said again: "Uncle Zhao doesn't have to carry out my mother, and she can be a substituteā Even if she can't control me here, she probably won't criticize you."
Several people present had heard of Zhou Fei's feat of "picking flowers" from Li Jinrong's hands in Xiushan Hall, but they were speechless for a while.
Zhou Fei smiled, and then for the first time took the initiative to bring up her experience outside: "In Huarong City, we were betrayed by traitors, and Senior Brother Chenfei and the others were plotted in the inn by Lu Cun and greedy, only I took a hand without restraint. The girl of Li was hiding in the east, and she was not afraid of it at that time, not to mention now? People don't need to lend me, I can go by myself."
After she finished speaking, she reached out to Lin Hao: "Senior Brother Lin, will you give it?"
Lin Hao: "..."
About a stick of incense, Zhou Fei walked out of the Elder Hall with the token given by Lin Hao, and when she looked up, she saw Wu Chuchu was waiting for her accompanied by Li Yan.
The fish belly was already white in the east. Zhou Fei spent the whole night in chaos, ignoring her, thinking that Wu Chuchu must have heard Kou Dan's words, and she didn't know how to feel.
Zhou Fei felt a little guilty, she paused, and turned towards her.
But before she could speak, Wu Chuchu suddenly stepped forward, took off the longevity lock on her neck, and handed it to Zhou Fei.
Zhou Fei was taken aback.
Then, Wu Chuchu took off the earrings and bracelets on his bodyānot even the plain hairpin on his head, and stuffed them into Zhou Fei's arms.
Zhou Fei: "..."
Li Yan next to her was startled, and hurriedly said: "Miss Wu, my sister doesn't charge protection fees, you..."
Wu Chuchu said, "All the things on my body that I am not afraid of burning are here."
Zhou Fei raised her eyes suddenly - it turns out that Wu Chuchu always knew in her heart that Qiu Tianji's frantic search for Huarong Town was related to her!
Tears flashed in Wu Chuchu's eyes, but they quickly held it back.
"I've never heard of the so-called 'sea and sky'," she said word by word, "I also... know that you still have important things right now, and I don't seem to be willing to help me take care of these frivolous burdens, but I... Don't trust anyone, only you."
Li Yan didn't know the cause and effect, and when she heard the words of the foreword that didn't match the afterword, her forehead was at a loss.
Zhou Fei knew it very well in her heart. She wrapped the thing Wu Chuchu gave her in a filament roll, put it in her arms, and nodded to Wu Chuchu: "Thank you, don't worry, you will live or die."
āćChapter 85
"Hold on, Fei, I'll have a few words with you!"
When Zhou Fei turned around, she saw that Ma Jili was walking towards her with a sullen face, and several young disciples around saluted him, but the general manager of Xiushan Hall, who was usually the most smiling, ignored him.
Zhou Fei said in surprise: "Why, is Uncle Ma going with us too?"
The entourage she ordered were all young disciplesāthere was no way, once in Zhao Qiusheng, the safety of the forty-eight villages was the number one priority. He won't listen to Zhou Fei's deployment honestly, and it's not certain who will be in command at that time.
Ma Jili didn't answer, looked at Zhou Fei with some reproach, and said to himself: "If I had known about this, I should not have promised to bring you back when I was in Shaoyang."
Zhou Fei blinked inexplicably.
"Since the elder has spoken, there is no room for me to talk." Ma Jili looked at her worriedly and said, "Do you remember what Uncle Ma said to you?"
Said a lot, which one?
Zhou Fei racked her brains to think about it, and then said, "Uh...Remember, Uncle Ma said at the Xiushan Hall, 'Worthy of heaven, worthy of...'"
"That's not it," Majili interrupted her with a frown, "I only told you about my short-lived father a few days ago, so I forgot?"
Zhou Fei paused for a while, then stretched out her hand to twiddle her hair, and smiled: "Oh, I remembered the sentence, 'If it's all the pillars, who will be the chopping wood', right?"
When someone around you heard it, they couldn't help but stop.
Zhou Fei has only just graduated, so he can retreat from Koudan by the Ximo Riverāwhat kind of knife or method doesnāt matterāif this can be considered chopping wood, what else are others? Although Ma Jili is senior and senior, he If he really has any earth-shattering abilities, he doesn't have to stay in Xiushantang all the time and chat with a bunch of half-old children. His remarks about relying on the old and selling the old are a bit out of place here.
Zhou Fei didn't take it seriously. She had seen many amazing people along the way. For example, Duan Jiuniang and Ji Yunchen, weren't they all famous geniuses in the sky? There is really nothing to envy, just chop wood.
She just said indifferently: "Uncle Ma, chopping wood is also useful for chopping wood, some stand upright, and some set fire to the company. Look, am I not going to burn it?"
Ma Jili shook his head: "You are not chopping wood, you can still live in a corner of the country. Many people have both martial arts skills and wisdom, but they often fall into the word 'solitude and courage', and in the end they are often harmed by their own talents. Those who were like him were like this back then, A Fei, Uncle Ma watched you grow up and couldn't bear to see you end up like this, listen to Elder Lin and lead people to leave quickly..."
"And my grandfather." Zhou Fei said.
Maggie was startled.
"Thank you Uncle Ma, you're right - but if you talk about people who died of loneliness, it's not just your lord. My grandfather, my second uncle, the mountain and river swords from twenty years ago... aren't they all the same? It's not necessarily a blessing to die in the right place." Zhou Fei solemnly paid Ma Jili a junior salute, and when she fought a bloody path from the confusion and hardship over and over again, she was determined to throw away all the laziness and carelessness of her body. At that time, she was almost no longer the little girl who fought with Li Jinrong at home.
Ma Jili was in a trance for a while, and he vaguely saw the shadow of the old Nan Dao Li Zheng on her body.
Only when she raised her eyebrows slightly and raised the corner of her mouth with a smile, she still vaguely retained the arrogance and arrogance inherent in young people: "Not to mention that it is not necessarily me who died - if there is a need for cooperation on the mountain, I will trouble Uncle Ma to communicate the news. Now, take care."
After Zhou Fei finished speaking, she left without looking back. The group of young disciples who followed her heard that the puppet army was besieging the city, and they were eager to rush down the mountain, waiting to sharpen their knives. Strictly forbid, feel more aggrieved in your heart, but no one dares to petition in the Elder Hall.
But Zhou Fei dared and did it.
A group of young people walked along the waist pole involuntarily and straightened a little bit, and they gathered behind her to form a group, as if they had regarded her as the leader.
Not far from walking out, Zhou Fei heard someone chuckle lightly, "That's right."
As soon as she looked up, she saw Xie Yun, like a bastard bat who had just run away, hanged herself from a big tree, with his arms folded over his chest, he was looking at her narrowly.
Zhou Fei's palms itch frantically like prickly heat.
Xie Yun turned over and fell from the big tree, and his footsteps landed a few feet away from Zhou Fei. Before Zhou Fei could speak, he said first: "If you want to pick people's heads, you have to know yourself and the enemy. I think you are watching. After quarreling, I took advantage of the little effort to go around the forty-eight villages. Your village has a total of three layers of posts, not counting the Ximo River. There are thirty-six places in the outermost circle, of which six were attacked last night, and one was attacked. Broken, Elder Lin urgently ordered people to set up an ambush, and the puppet army suffered a loss at the guard post on the first floor, and they retreated in a hurry. Of these thirty-six places, some places are suitable for ambush, some are dangerous and difficult to climb, and each is difficult to climb. Unique. The enemy's commander has Kou Dan in his hand, and he must know the terrain of the forty-eight villages. Even if he is surrounded by the mountain, he must have a purpose. We can try to infer where this person is - how, Zhou Lost, do you want it? This king leads the way?"
Zhou Fei thought about it for a while and thought that what he said was reasonable, so she decided for the time being that "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years", she recorded the beating Xie owed first, and asked, "You jumped up from the Ximojiang River and you have I'm gone, how do you know what I want?"
Xie Yun looked straight into her eyes, then showed a very bright smile and neat little white teeth, and said, "It's easy to understand if you have a heart."
Zhou Fei: "..."
The account was just lost.
Xie Yun's ability to observe words and expressions has become very good. Seeing the spark in Zhou Fei's eyes, he immediately changed before she "fired a prairie", pretending to be a serious person, while walking, he talked about the forty-eight villages in detail. The position of the sentry corresponds to the corresponding relationship between the many towns under the mountain.
"Forty-eight villages are the most densely located in the southwest, and the rest are from the southwest slope to the Ximo River, from dense to sparse, but if it were me, I would choose the southwest corner as the breakthrough point..."
Zhou Fei immediately answered, "Because there must be moat in places where there are sparse sentries, and the terrain in dense areas is relatively flat, so it will be filled with human hands. The moat cannot be made up by manpower. There are so many of them that they are not afraid of dense sentries."
"That's right! I'll just say we both have the same heart..." Seeing Zhou Fei touching the handle of the knife, Xie Yun hurriedly changed his voice, "Our two... heroes see the same thingābut the six attacked All the outposts are to the east, and guess what? But is the enemy commander so stupid?"
Zhou Fei felt her heart beating a little faster. For some unknown reason, she had clearly been running around for a long time, but when Xie Yun asked questions one by one, she was inexplicably excited, and her reaction was much faster than usual. After thinking about it, he blurted out: "Because of the high terrain of the Ximojiang cliff, you can see the southwest slope on the cliff. If the enemy chooses the southwest as the breakthrough point, then Beidou and Mingfeng will not be able to play Tiger Lishan in Ximojiang."
Xie Yun fell silent.
Zhou Fei hurriedly asked, "What, isn't it?"
Xie Yun sighed seriously: "It's okay to look good, but you're still so smart, alas!"
Zhou Fei: "..."
She clearly knew that this kid was flirting again, but she didn't know how to continue this sentence for a while. She was a little embarrassed on the spot and had no choice but to "do nothing" and use a long knife to stab Xie Yun's knee. Look: "Where did you come from so much nonsense?"
Xie Yun dodged away with a smile on his face, and continued: "Yes, since Gu Tianxuan who washed the Mojiang retreated, their first round of conspiracy was exposed, so naturally they don't have to avoid the southwest slope. If the enemy's commander has a normal mind, he will be behind the surrounding mountains. From east to west, sweep down the town at the foot of the mountain, and then regroup the troops, pressing the heavy troops up the southwest slope, and even if it is filled with people, the gate of the village will be smashed open."
Zhou Fei: "Then let's go..."
Xie Yun waved his hand to interrupt her, and said again: "This is just some common sense, you can think of it after a little thought, right?"
Zhou Fei nodded.
As if afraid of the cold, Xie Yun folded his hands into his long sleeves and said as he walked, "That's why it's not right. There is only one forty-eight villages in the world, and people who come here can use the two great big dippers as guides for him, and go to attack the solid forty-eight villages in person. Could it be an ordinary person who can use 'common sense' to infer? If it is true, then he wouldn't have sent Gu Tianxuan and the others to make that outburst and attack directly with a large army?"
This is not the first time Zhou Fei has thought about things from this angleāthe time she dealt with Yang Jin, she was lucky to win a game after she secretly figured out Yang Jin's mentality thoroughly. But compared to the enemy coach of the puppet dynasty, Yang Jin's little eye is as easy to understand as a naive child.
Xie Yun said again: "Think again, why did this person want to besiege the town under the mountain? Can't he see that the people living at the foot of the mountain are all unarmed people?"
Zhou Fei thought for a while: "In order to make the credit appear bigger?"
"More than that," Xie Yun almost took some sternness, and didn't give any hints, just said, "Think again."
Zhou Fei frowned, completely confused as to how Xie Yun was able to change freely between "disgusting flirting" and "serious guidance".
Xie Yun smiled and said sternly: "There are so many organic hearts in the world, even if someone breaks it up and smashes it and tells you, you will only take it as a curious alarmist, it's fresh for a moment, forget it when you hear it, you have to spend it carefully. to understand the subtleties of it.ā
When Zhou Fei walked around the rivers and lakes, she was as careless as a stick, and didn't even bother to remember where she came from. There was a natural confusion and indifference to the world. "Dirty people" is such a naive question, but he is very convinced to follow Xie Yun's voice and sink his heart, thinking back and forth for a while.
"Because..." After a while, Zhou Fei said with a little bit of confidence, "I seem to remember that Jiuniang said that back then it was greedy, Jumen, Pojun, Lianzhen and others who plotted against my grandfather, but in the end there was nothing. This time, the leader of the army is not Shen Tianshu. Even Jumen and Pojun can only be regarded as leading the way. The attack on the Forty-eight Villages is not dominated by Beidou. If he can do what Shen Tianshu did not do in the past, he will definitely It seems that Beidou is very incompetent, so Gu Tianxuan and that Po Jun may not be willing to be sent by him..."
Xie Yun nodded at her with an encouraging face.
