Blow up the mountain? Fairy Ning glanced at the cave in the middle of the mountain and frowned, "No wonder they had to hide so well, they had such a vicious plan. As long as they buried the gunpowder in the belly of the mountain and ignited the fuse when the silver carriage happened to pass by, the mountain would collapse and the weather would change. Not to mention the silver, even the people would not be able to survive. This is indeed a clever move. I wonder how much gunpowder they got? "
"I'm afraid it's not a small amount!" Lin Wanrong sighed and smiled bitterly, "I made such a big commotion in Ji Ning when I was fishing for silver, but these bandits did not make a sound at all. I thought it was strange, but I did not expect them to come up with such a vicious plan. No wonder they were so calm. With these few days, they could get as much gunpowder as they wanted. What's the big deal about blowing up a cliff? "
Although Ning Yuxi knew there were bandits hiding on the other side, she did not expect them to be so vicious. If they had not discovered it in time, the tens of thousands of soldiers and more than three hundred thousand taels of silver would have been destroyed. Thinking about it, she felt a little scared.
"Sister Fairy, do you know how many people are hiding in the cave?" Lin Wanrong looked at the cave and asked softly.
"They are very vigilant, and there is only one exit in the cave, so I can't find it. But from the size of the cave, if they really hid gunpowder inside, they could not hide more than a few people, at most no more than twenty people. "Ning Yuxi said lightly, her face full of confidence.
Lin Wanrong looked for a while. The cliff was steep and difficult to climb. The cave was located on the cliff and was a natural barrier, easy to defend and hard to attack. It was like "one man can hold the pass against ten thousand"! If they wanted to lure the soldiers to attack, there was almost no chance of success. Instead, it might force the bandits to ignite the fuse in desperation. Even if they could not hurt anyone, once the mountain was blown up, the road forward would be cut off, and the progress of the army would be greatly delayed. This was also what no one wanted to see.
Seeing Lord Lin looking around sneakily, Ning Yuxi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Find someone!" Lin Wanrong's expression was solemn. "Since they are ready and waiting for our arrival, there should be spies nearby. Fairy Ning, have you seen it before? "
Ning Yuxi laughed and said, "Look at you. You're usually smart, but why are you so muddle-headed now? Before the arrival of the imperial army, they naturally sent out scouts to find out the situation. But now that your army of tens of thousands has arrived at the foot of the mountain, the situation is clear at a glance. Your scouts are all over the place, searching layer by layer. Why would they come out? What's more, it's stormy and windy, so it's safe and comfortable to hide in the cave. When it's daybreak, you can withdraw the scouts and they can come out to observe the situation. "
Lin Wanrong clapped his hands and giggled. "Fairy Sister's analysis is very thorough. If you didn't save my life tonight, I would definitely think that you and that bandit are a family."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is in cahoots with them? " Ning Yuxi raised her eyebrows and a trace of pride appeared on her face. "Twenty years ago, I assisted the Emperor to defeat King Cheng. Is there anything in this world that my 'Yu De Immortal Market' can't do?"
With your arrogant attitude, it would be strange if the Emperor didn't destroy your family's workshop. Seeing Fairy Ning's confidence, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Of course you and the bandit are not a family. You and I are a family."
Fairy Ning knew Lin San's personality. He was a trickster who would not die the more you pestered him. She shouldn't be calculative with him. She pretended not to hear him and snorted. "There's still four hours until daybreak. By then, the army will be on this official road. Seeing that you are so relaxed, have you thought of a plan to defeat the enemy? "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "I haven't thought of it yet. But being able to discover the enemy's plot in advance is something to be happy about. As for the rest, we'll talk about it when we get back."
From his tone, it seemed that he was about to go down the mountain. Ning Yuxi glanced at the cave on the opposite side, flicked her long sleeves, and turned to leave. Lin Wanrong grabbed her sleeve. "Hey, sister, it's so dark here. Are you going to leave me here alone? You're too heartless to leave me after you're done playing with me. "
Ning Yuxi looked annoyed and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by leaving me after I'm done playing with you?"
"Don't tell me you won't leave me after you're done playing with me?" Lord Lin held her sleeve tightly and refused to let go. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Sister is really affectionate. I'm so grateful that I'm about to spit it out. Since we went up the mountain together, we naturally have to go down together! "
How could a person be so shameless? Was he still human? Ning Yuxi sighed helplessly, pointing at the lights in the distance. She said lightly, "It's not that I don't want to send you down the mountain, it's that your people are looking for you."
Looking in the direction she was pointing, there were quite a number of torches in the distance. The sound of armors and swords rubbing against each other reached his ears. Lin Wanrong was shocked. "It's Hu Bugui's two thousand troops. This old Hu is too slow. I've already reached the top of the mountain, but he's still halfway up!"
He was a full man and did not know the hunger of a hungry man. With the speed of Hu Bugui and the others, to search all over the mountain in the wind and rain, to be able to arrive here in the middle of the night was already a godlike speed. If not for Fairy Ning's divine technique, Lord Lin most likely would not be able to reach the top of the mountain by tomorrow night.
Seeing Lord Lin striding down the mountain, Hu Bugui was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly went up to greet him. He said with a face full of admiration, "General is really an extraordinary person. To be able to arrive first despite starting later, I admire you. Oh, this is — — "Looking at Ning Yuxi who was standing beside General Lin, Hu Bugui's eyes were transfixed. There was actually such a beautiful woman in the world? I, Old Hu, have really lived so long in vain.
Lin Wanrong put his arm around Hu Bugui's shoulder with a smile, whispering, "This person, sigh, I can't say too much about her. In short, Big Brother Hu, you know what to do. I'm really not a romantic person. "
"I understand, I understand." Hu Bugui was secretly delighted, giving Lin Wanrong a thumbs up. General Lin was too amazing. Every woman around him was incomparably beautiful, each more beautiful than the other, making him very envious.
"Big Brother Hu, have you found the brothers who distributed the fireworks?" Lin Wanrong laughed for a while, then thought of something that was on his mind and asked.
Hu Bugui shook his head. "More than ten teams of scouts were sent out, except for two teams that have no news, the rest have all returned. Along the way, we found some traces that they left behind, but the traces are not very obvious. They are intermittent, as if someone had deliberately erased them. We searched for a long time, then lost our direction here. "
Ning Yuxi nodded, her expression indifferent. "Then it can't be wrong. These two teams of scouts must have been killed here, their corpses most likely can't be found. "
"Is what Madam said true?" Hu Bugui's face revealed a shocked expression. "If that's the case, the bandits are nearby?"
"What did you say? What Madam? " Ning Yuxi's gentle and beautiful face suddenly became icy cold, like a beautiful peony covered by a blizzard, sending a chill into one's heart.
"You are Madam Lin." Hu Bugui was a boorish person, and his intestines were straight to the end. "Which woman with General Lin did not become Madam Lin in the end?"
"Damn it!" Ning Yuxi snorted, a cold light flashing in her hand, a small sword slashed out from her sleeve, and with lightning speed, slashed toward Hu Bugui's neck.
Although Hu Bugui was a fierce general on the battlefield, but compared to Fairy Ning, he was thousands of times weaker. Seeing this' Madam Lin 'draw out her sword without saying a word, before he could even blink, the sharp sword was already in front of him, as fast as lightning.
Lin Wanrong was already prepared, in a flash he blocked in front of Hu Bugui, put his arm around his shoulder and said with a smile, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Miss Ning and I are just ordinary friends, we just eat together and watch the stars, it's really pure, big brother Hu don't think too much. "
Seeing that Lin San was blocking in front of Hu Bugui, Ning Yuxi had no choice but to flick the tip of her sword, and the sword brushed past his ear. She snorted angrily and did not say anything.
Hu Bugui nodded. This Madam Lin had such a fiery temper, he did not know how Official Lin could handle her. If he wanted a wife, he should find someone as gentle as Miss Luo.
Lin Wanrong told Hu Bugui what he had just seen, and Hu Bugui was taken aback. "Blowing up the mountain? Damn it, did this group of bastards go crazy? General, I will bring three hundred men of sacrifice, we will definitely take down this cave. "
Lin Wanrong shook his head, pacing two steps. "Big brother Hu, we must not be reckless. The terrain is dangerous, as long as we guard the cave entrance, even if ten thousand people attack, they will not be able to do anything. What's more, there is a huge amount of gunpowder in the cave, as long as we are not careful, we will be doomed. This matter needs to be discussed carefully, we can only use our wits, not brute force. "
These words were not false, if the cave was really filled with gunpowder, not to mention ten thousand people, even a hundred thousand imperial army would be finished. Hu Bugui said helplessly, "If we don't attack, are we going to let them blow up the mountain? In this way, won't all the silver be trapped here and not be able to move? The two hundred thousand soldiers of the imperial court are all waiting for these silver to be used. "
Pressure, this was pressure! Lin Wanrong's brows were tightly knitted together, walking slowly on the mountainside, the drizzle drenched his clothes, he did not even notice that he was stepping in the muddy water.
Hu Bugui had followed Official Lin for a long time, he knew that he was trying to think of a solution, he could only look at him anxiously, not daring to make a sound. Ning Yuxi's expression was as usual, her eyes moved slightly, and her gaze also fell on Lin Wanrong.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Wanrong suddenly let out a long sigh, then burst into laughter. "Big brother Hu, do you think I am a hero?"
What are you saying? Hu Bugui was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, saying loudly, "If General Lin is not a hero, who else in the world is worthy of this title."
Lin Wanrong smiled, slowly shaking his head. "Big brother Hu, I am not as noble as you think, I am just an ordinary person, I am also afraid of death, it's just that my luck is better."
Hu Bugui looked at him blankly, not knowing what General Lin meant by this. Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh, helplessly saying, "But this time, I'm afraid I really have to be a hero!" He looked at Ning Yuxi, who gave a slight snort. "Don't have any ideas on me, I have already said that my duty is to protect your safety, I don't care about anything else."
That's enough. Lin Wanrong nodded, whispering a few words into Hu Bugui's ear. Hu Bugui turned pale with fright. "How can I do that? General, I would like to go to battle! Let me go! "
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly, patting Hu Bugui on the shoulder. "Big brother Hu, do you think I want to be a hero? Nonsense, I have more than ten wives at home, each as beautiful as flowers, like wolves and tigers waiting for me to love, who would want to die here? But if I don't go, who will go? Big brother Hu, do you have the confidence to quickly and safely deal with the bandits in the cave? "
Hu Bugui hesitated for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. "I don't have the confidence, but General, can you do it?"
"Of course I can't." General Lin smiled mysteriously, glancing at Ning Yuxi, lowering his voice. "But someone can do it. As long as I go, she has to go. Sigh, to be a pair of mandarin ducks that share the same fate with this sister, it's just barely enough. "
Hu Bugui did not seem to understand, but Lin Wanrong did not explain. He ordered, "Big brother Hu, later you take the brothers to the top of the cliff and shout, scare those bastards, then come down at four in the morning. Then hide in the dark, and monitor the situation in the cave. Once they send out spies to the top of the cliff, immediately report to me, no mistakes. "
Before Hu Bugui could speak again, Lin Wanrong snorted coldly, his face darkening. "Big brother Hu, this is not the time to be loyal. If you really treat me well, the next time you go to the battlefield, block a few blades for me. Now, you have to follow the military order. "
Hu Bugui helplessly accepted the order and left. Lin Wanrong stood quietly, not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ning Yuxi walked to his side, glanced at him, and sighed. "Sometimes I feel that you are very smart, but sometimes I feel that you are stupid and stupid."
"Do I have a choice?" Lin Wanrong looked at her with a bitter smile. "If I send someone else, Sister Fairy, are you willing to take this risk?"
Ning Yuxi firmly shook her head. "I have principles, I will definitely do what I promised, but I can't expand it without limit. The safety of your subordinates is not within the scope of my responsibility."
"Then that's it." Lin Wanrong spread his hands helplessly. "In the end, I still have to go personally? Sister Fairy, you won't really leave me alone, right? If that's the case, I definitely won't go. Damn, my little life is precious, I have to earn money, I have to pick up girls, and I have to teach Ning Er how to play tricks. There are so many meaningful things that I haven't finished yet, how can I waste them here. "
He was in high spirits when he suddenly felt the silence next to him. He turned around and saw that Ning Yuxi was silent, her eyes flashing, as if she was thinking about something.
Lord Lin was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became nervous. His eyes widened as he asked, "Sister Fairy, are you serious? You have made a promise! Doesn't that workshop of yours always keep its promises? Doesn't it? "
Ning Yuxi closed her eyes in deep thought, as if she did not hear what he said. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. Lord Lin was furious. Damn, are you kidding me? Women can be trusted, pigs can climb trees! You want me to die, do you think I am a fool? He shouted at the top of his voice, "Cancel the order! Old Hu, prepare the fastest horse for me, I have something to do, I have to go first! You are in charge of this place! "
Ning Yuxi giggled and covered her mouth, saying, "How can you be so shameless, you even dare to say such words?"
Her smile turned from cold to warm, like a hundred flowers blooming in the cold winter. Lord Lin let out a long sigh and said gratefully, "I knew you wouldn't leave me behind. Sister Fairy, you are really too kind, little brother can't repay you, just hug me ten times! I definitely won't take advantage of you! "
Ning Yuxi suppressed her laughter and glared at him, saying, "I should scare you! Otherwise, next time you will send me to the sky to pick the stars and moon! "
"That will also depend on sister's ability." Lord Lin had a charming smile on his face, and shamelessly flattered her, saying, "To be honest, Sister Fairy still has to personally deal with these few little thieves, little brother is really sorry. After this matter is settled, I will treat you to something good, a hundred skewers of candied haws that cost three copper coins a skewer. "
This person's face changed faster than a child's, Ning Yuxi had no choice but to shake her head and smile, saying, "Put away your candied haws first, do you think I am a three year old child? I will say the ugly words first, I am not clear about the situation in the cave, it is hard to say if I can successfully settle it now, I can only do my best. Wait here for my news! "
"Okay, okay." Lord Lin nodded happily like a chick pecking rice, then his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, saying, "What did you say? Wait here for you? Sister Fairy, you don't want me to go? "
"What can you do if you go?" Ning Yuxi said indifferently, "You will only be a hindrance, it would be better to find a monkey to help."
Moved, Lord Lin tightly pulled on Ning Yuxi's sleeve, wishing he could devote himself to her, saying, "Sister, it has been hard on you. Little brother will make you some good crucian carp soup, when you return in triumph, I will personally feed it to you. However, you must be careful, there are people guarding the entrance of the cave, they will definitely have arrows in their hands, it is best to find someone to attract his attention. But Sister Fairy's martial arts are so superb, this small matter will definitely not be difficult for you, it will definitely be easy. Little brother will respectfully wait for Sister's good news. "
"Is that so?" Ning Yuxi's eyes turned. "Now that you mention it, I remember, I do need someone to cooperate with me. It seems that only you — — "
"Hu Bugui, prepare the fastest horse for me, I have something to do, I have to go first — —"
"They're out, they're out." Hu Bugui ran over panting, shouting, "General Lin, the bandit's spies have come out." As his voice faded, he only saw a figure flash in front of him, 'Madam Lin' and General Lin, like a gust of wind, disappeared in front of him — —
