"Now the city gates on the east, west and south are closed. We finally got here. Why are we not allowed to enter even the north gate?"
Faced with people's doubts, the soldiers guarding the city were only diligent in coping and were stretched thin.
Luo Jingshan was ready to leave when he saw this, but in order to avoid causing uneasiness and mutiny among the people outside the city gate, he only said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, a bandit has entered Leiyang City recently. . In order to prevent thieves from collaborating with bandits and reporting the news, we temporarily plan to seal the thief in the city. This will also ensure the safety of everyone. Therefore, today, no outsiders are allowed to enter the city. Please be patient for a while. day."
Hearing that there were bandits in Leiyang City, the noisy crowd outside the city gate suddenly showed fear on their faces. As some people took the lead to leave, others just wished they had never been here before. But for a moment, Leiyang City, which was originally crowded, became empty.
After Luo Jingshan explained on horseback, he told one of the soldiers guarding the city, "Hurry up and find someone to post a notice, so that those who come after you will know that the city gate will not be opened today."
In response to Luo Jingshan's instructions, a soldier couldn't help but ask, "Master Luo, for what reason should we write this city sealing notice?"
In response to the soldier's inquiry, Luo Jingshan only said, "You can find any reason. Just find a ghostwriter for such a trivial matter."
After receiving Luo Jingshan's scolding, the soldiers guarding the city just said yes in a hurry.
Then Luo Jingshan only waited for his guards to enter the city before issuing a cold order to close the city.
After the city was closed, a group of them went to the county government office.
When he arrived at the yamen gate, the Leiyang County Magistrate was discussing with the officials in the yamen and the nearby armed forces what to do after closing the city and defending the city. Not long after, he heard the soldiers at the gate announce Luo Jingshan's name.
The county magistrate just asked him to come in, but Luo Jingshan followed him into the main hall where the magistrate was discussing matters.
When others saw Luo Jingshan's attitude, they were somewhat dissatisfied, but now because Magistrate Guo was his brother-in-law, others just remained silent.
After Luo Jingshan came in, he didn't understand the rules. He just knelt on the spot and said, "I have seen the county magistrate in my humble position."
Magistrate Guo was now counting on good news from Luo Jingshan, so he showed endless concern for Luo Jingshan's arrival. "Master Luo, have what happened last night been completely controlled?"
Upon hearing Magistrate Guo's inquiry, Luo Jingshan immediately replied in a low voice, "As far as I can tell you, those people have been basically controlled, but one person still escaped. That person seriously injured Master Yan who came from Kyoto, and then Many of our soldiers were injured and killed. I think that person probably fled to our side, or to Yunhu Village. If this person were to escape, the consequences would be disastrous."
Hearing Luo Jingshan's words, the county magistrate just didn't care and said, "It's just one person, why should we be afraid?"
"But that man is very skilled in martial arts, and he is in the dark and we are in the open. If he has any connection with the people in Yunhu Village, the consequences will be disastrous. Or let him return to the bandit village in Yunzhou, then Other places will definitely be even more devastated."
Magistrate Guo nodded, "This is not a big problem. Anyway, people from the state capital will come in two or three days."
After hearing Magistrate Guo's words, Luo Jingshan only had a subtle look on his face.
"My lord is right, but this time the bandits not only killed our people, but also kidnapped Lord Yan from the capital."
Upon hearing Luo Jingshan's words, Leiyang County Magistrate immediately stood up and reprimanded, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Luo Jingshan felt helpless only about his brother-in-law. He could only whisper, "What do you think we should do now?"
This question only made the Leiyang County Magistrate immediately start a thinking storm. He immediately looked at the commander-in-chief and said, "The commander-in-chief led the people to Yunhu Village to ask for people. The others were searching for Master Yan and the man outside the city." The figure of a bandit.”
Naturally, others did not have much opinion on the arrangements made by the Leiyang County Magistrate, but if this kind of thing was to be carried out, it was obviously not something that could be explained clearly in a few words. qδ.o
Therefore, one of them only spoke the Lord
Dong Zhui asked, "Sir, where is Yunhu Village? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Someone asked the first question, and then someone asked the second question, "Sir, I wonder what the Lord Yan you mentioned looks like? What does the bandit you mentioned look like?"
We really can’t blame these people for asking these questions.
After all, when Luo Jingshan discussed this issue with the county magistrate and carried out this task, in order not to leak out, they kept this secret almost to a high degree. Even when the county magistrate mobilized troops for Luo Jingshan, they borrowed it from other sources. Excuse, so even Mr. Qian didn't know that on that day and night, Luo Jingshan and Mr. Yan, whom he had never met, had done so many things, and they only blocked a catastrophe behind them.
Magistrate Guo could not answer any of these people's inquiries.
He immediately looked at Luo Jingshan asking for help, "Jingshan, answer their questions!"
Luo Jingshan came well prepared. Faced with these questions, he only asked his servant to get a map. It was a topographic map near Leiyang City. Luo Jingshan only pointed at a map near Weishan Mountain in the northwest. Shen Shan then said, "Yunhu Village is right here. If you want to go there, just surround it. However, they have a strong army and a large scale. We must not underestimate the enemy."
When the commander-in-chief heard Luo Jingshan say that he was so confident about these issues, his perception of Luo Jingshan was completely different.
After answering the general's doubts, Luo Jingshan only responded to other people's questions. Although he had never seen the bandit until the end, he had met Master Yan, and he also He had studied figure painting, so at the moment he sketched out a bright beauty with just a few strokes.
Looking at the picture of beauty, the others could only say in disbelief, "Master Yan is a woman?"
"They are secret guards sent by the imperial court." This time, Magistrate Guo answered the question instead of Luo Jingshan.
Luo Jingshan did not refute his brother-in-law's addition, although he did not think that the woman was really a secret guard. After all, her behavior was not like that kind of person at all.
However, in this way, he wanted his brother-in-law to take this matter seriously. Secondly, although this woman lied about her identity, she did not lie about other issues, especially the matter of joining forces this time. It was precisely because of her report that they were not unaware of the coming disaster.
But now after the general soldiers led the people to Yunhu Village, within half a day, they surrounded Yunhu Village.
Although at that time, he did not have the ability to attack the mountain by force.
However, after he entered the village and arrested several people from Yunhu Village, and obtained the general situation of Yunhu Village, the people at Yunhu Village naturally also learned that someone on the mountain was calling for him.
So soon they also sent Yingxun to challenge.
When Yingxun came down the mountain, the general soldier had already taken everyone in Yunhu Village as hostages.
When the commander-in-chief saw Yingxun coming from the mountain, he immediately cursed angrily, "You'd better hand over Mr. Yan from the capital as soon as possible, otherwise not only the lives of these people will be in danger, but your Yunhu Village will also be directly wiped out by us."
Yingxun didn't take the commander-in-chief's words seriously. After all, the commander-in-chief only brought a hundred people, and they had hundreds of people on the mountain, and this was still their territory, so they really wanted to fight. I still don’t know who will become a prisoner when I wake up, but it’s better to do less than to do more.
Therefore, Yingxun only said one sentence in response to the threat of the commander-in-chief: "I don't know what the commander-in-chief is doing here! And I think we have never offended the government, right? Of course, we don't have any master Yan here."
"No Master Yan? You still want to make excuses? You don't think I don't know that you are hiding a bandit, right? That bandit injured and killed more than ten of our brothers!"
Upon hearing this, Yingxun had already guessed who they were looking for, but the commander-in-chief still shook the Chen Changnian drawn by Luo Jingshan in front of Yingxun, and then he said with confidence, "This is Yan." grown ups!"
Sure enough, the Master Yan they were talking about was Chen Changnian.
Although they don’t know how Chen Changnian became the Master Yan they call him.
But if he came here for this matter, then he wouldn't be polite.
"Master General, this person you are talking about
We don’t have it. If you don’t believe it, you can follow us up the mountain to find it! "Yingxun said with a calm expression.
However, the commander-in-chief was obviously not a fool. He only said, "If I follow you up the mountain, I am playing into your trap! Hand over Master Yan quickly, otherwise we will not keep any of these people."
Looking at the group of old, young, women and children held hostage by the general soldier, Yingxun's eyes were extremely indifferent.
He only said coldly, "We really don't have Master Yan here. If you insist on asking us to find Master Yan, I can only ask you to do it yourself."
Upon hearing this, the commander-in-chief stopped chatting with Yingxun. He immediately waved his hand, and then signaled his subordinates to start fighting with Yingxun.
However, Yingxun's side didn't even need to wait for reinforcements. The commander-in-chief had already begun to regret fighting Yingxun. Seeing him deal with five or six people indifferently, the commander-in-chief felt that his hands on those people's necks seemed to be... Pinched on his own neck.
Therefore, after a round of fighting, in which six or seven soldiers were injured, the commander-in-chief only left the cruel words "Just wait for me." Then he clamped the horse's belly hard and wanted to leave the place directly. However, Yingxun found that there was no way to retreat at this time, and naturally it was impossible to stay behind.
Therefore, before the commander-in-chief could barely react, Yingxun galloped directly from his own horse to the opponent's horse and took action to restrain the commander-in-chief.
