After the last ray of light in the sky was swallowed up by darkness, the entire Yu County was suddenly dark.
There are only three or two unknown stars looming, emitting a soft shimmer, bringing some light to the earth.
Then, some lights lit up in the distance, temporarily breaking the rule of darkness.
Although it is already the end of spring, the nights in Yu County are still very cold, especially when the wind blows, the wind is still biting and makes people avoid it.
So even though it was dark, Yu County was very peaceful.
"Da da da......"
At this time, a faint sound of horse hooves broke the silence.
"Master, be careful, the mountain road here is a little bumpy!"
Wu Yi, who was walking in front, tightened his clothes and reminded Wu Sangui behind him.
However, because the mountain wind was too harsh, he didn't want to open his mouth wide to inhale the cold wind, so his voice was not loud.
Wu Sangui seemed to be distracted. After hearing his words, he just nodded subconsciously, but forgot that the two were far apart. In such an environment, Wu Yi could not see his movements at all.
"Master..."
"hiss!"
Wu Yi thought Wu Sangui didn't hear it, so he raised his voice and shouted again.
He didn't even think about it before he spoke. Wulongju suddenly jumped up with its hooves and let out a long hiss, as if it was about to throw Wu Sangui off the horse.
Although Wu Sangui was a little absent-minded, he was also proficient in riding and shooting, so even though the incident happened suddenly, he instinctively tightened the horse's reins and clamped the black colt with both legs.
"hiss!"
The Oolong pony seemed to be strangled too tightly and let out a painful long hiss again, then quickly ran forward.
"Master!"
"Commander!"
When Wu Yi and some of his guards saw this, they also shouted and chased after him.
Wu Yi and others chased for almost half a mile before they saw Wu Sangui standing on the roadside.
"Master, are you okay?"
After Wu Yi saw Wu Sangui, he immediately got off his horse and stepped forward to ask with concern.
Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "Are you all here?"
Wu Yi nodded, then looked at the black horse under Wu Sangui's crotch, and murmured to himself: "This black horse has not been afraid of mountains of swords or seas of fire. Why did it lose control on the mountain road today?"
Wu Sangui frowned even deeper when he heard this.
In fact, he had been thinking about this just now, but he never figured it out.
Because this black horse is no ordinary horse, but one of the four famous Mongolian horses carefully bred by Zu Dashou.
This horse is not only jet black with no trace of hair, but also very intelligent. It neighed several times in advance to warn Wu Sangui and helped Wu Sangui get out of trouble.
In addition, Wu Longju also galloped freely on the battlefield without fear. He helped Wu Sangui repeatedly perform extraordinary feats, which can be said to be loyal and loyal.
But such a good horse almost threw him off his horse for some reason today, which made him suspicious.
"Master, Master!"
Just as Wu Sangui was deep in thought, Wu Yi's voice sounded again.
When Wu Sangui heard this, he glanced at him and said, "You guys wait here, I'll be back as soon as I go!"
After saying that, without waiting for Wu Yi to reply, he immediately ran back on his horse.
When Wu Sangui came to the place where the black horse neighed just now, he immediately jumped off the horse and carefully checked the situation on the ground.
But he found that there was nothing unusual here, and he was even more confused.
"Did I overlook something?"
Wu Sangui looked at the swaying lights of the military camp in the distance and thought silently in his heart.
"Commander!"
At this time, Wu Guogui's voice came from a distance.
When Wu Sangui heard the sound, he knelt down again and checked carefully. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he got on his horse.
"Commander, are you okay?"
Wu Guogui, who was holding the torch high, saw Wu Sangui's cold expression and asked with some doubts.
Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "Guogui, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Wu Guogui nodded and said: "Commander, the general has just received the news..."
"Guogui, if anything happens, let's go back to camp and talk about it!"
Wu Guogui just spoke, but Wu Sangui suddenly interrupted him and looked around warily.
Upon seeing this, Wu Guogui looked around carefully and saw nothing unusual. He then looked at Wu Sangui doubtfully.
"Let's go!"
Wu Sangui glanced around again before slowly moving forward.
Seeing this, Wu Guogui hurriedly followed.
Not long after the two of them left, a man emerged from the grass at the foot of the hillside, smiled at their backs, and then left quickly.
"Master, are you okay?"
When Wu Yi saw Wu Sangui, he hurriedly greeted him.
Wu Sangui shook his head and continued to move forward.
"Brother Yi, what happened to the Marshal in Yu County?"
When Wu Guogui saw Wu Sangui's expression was different, he asked Wu Yi in a low voice.
Wu Yi heard this and complained loudly: "Hey, don't mention it. Since you left, many people have come to seek grievances."
"The young master was busy until the evening and then stopped a little. I originally advised the young master to come back earlier, but the young master had to go to appease Li Zhixian and help him check the defense in the county government..."
Wu Guogui thought Wu Yi was stupid and had always been unwilling to talk to him. Only because he didn't know what happened to Wu Sangui now, he lowered his identity and asked him.
At this moment, seeing that Wu Yi was talking too much and couldn't get to the point, Wu Guogui interrupted him impatiently and said, "I know all this. I'm just asking if there is anything unusual!"
When Wu Yi heard this, he also said unhappily: "This is the abnormality. Among those common people, eight out of ten are probably fake. It's not abnormal enough."
Wu Guogui shook his head and was about to ride his horse forward when he heard Wu Yi's voice again: "By the way, the black horse suddenly lost control just now. I don't know..."
"The black horse is out of control?"
Wu Guogui hurriedly reined in his horse and said with some surprise.
Wu Yi nodded and said: "Yes, I was walking well, but the black horse suddenly hissed and almost made the young master fall off the horse... It's all because of the fault of the Li Zhixian and his poor eyesight. I don’t have the energy, and I don’t know…”
Seeing that he was talking nonsense again, Wu Guogui said a few perfunctory words and then chased after Wu Sangui.
When they returned to the military camp, they were immediately greeted by Wu Zhi outside the camp.
However, Wu Sangui did not leave him. After getting off his horse, he walked straight towards the hall.
Upon seeing this, Wu Zhi hurriedly followed despite his doubts.
"Guogui, do you think the news about Nanliang being robbed is reliable?"
In the hall, Wu Sangui was lazily drinking the Yuqian Longjing served by Wu Zhi, when he suddenly heard that Nanliang had been robbed, and two gleams flashed in his eyes.
When Wu Guogui asked, he bowed and said: "This matter is the news from our people in Feiyu Camp, it can't be wrong!"
Wu Sangui nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if the military rations are insufficient, this battle..."
But before he finished speaking, the smile on his face suddenly solidified, as if surprised and delighted, very strange.
"Commander?"
Seeing Wu Sangui's sudden stop, Wu Guogui shouted in a low voice with some worry.
Wu Sangui was stunned when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "Guogui, what do you think of this matter?"
Seeing a hint of fear in his sorrow, Wu Guogui pretended to be heroic and said: "Commander, according to the last general's opinion, this is a good opportunity given to the commander by God."
"You must know that we are not short of money and food, but we are short of men who can recruit and fight well. If we spread this news, the morale of the military will definitely be unstable."
"The commander-in-chief can take the opportunity to win over people's hearts and select men who are good at fighting. Then he can dominate the world and be called the Solitary Way..."
"Wu Guogui!"
Wu Sangui didn't wait for Wu Guogui to finish his words, an angry look flashed across his face, and he shouted to stop him.
When Wu Guogui heard this, he immediately bowed to apologize, and at the same time, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that Wu Guogui knew that although Wu Sangui was a strategist and an ambitious and courageous hero, he had a weakness, which was that he was very superstitious.
He was worried that Wu Sangui would be confused and discouraged by the Wu Longju incident, so he deliberately used this to stimulate Wu Sangui's pride.
