Cai Yan smiled and said: "If the king is wise, the people will be safe, and if the king is wise, the people will be happy. If the king is wise, the people will naturally be happy and happy. Father should be happy."
"The present person said, why does my father want to be smarter than his king? Sometimes it is much safer and easier to be a fool than to be a wise man."
Cai Yan's words were like a wake-up call, and Cai Yong was shocked!
"Yan'er is right. She is trying to do something for her father. It's just a pity!"
"What's the pity for father?"
Cai Yong sighed and said: "Yan'er's talent far exceeds that of many celebrities today. It's a pity that Yan'er is not a man. It's a pity."
The father and daughter chatted for a few words, and the family had already packed their bags. More than thirty women and children were traveling in carriages, men were riding horses, and more than a hundred members of the family, old and young, left the camp in a grand manner.
They rode very fast all the way, and after a quarter of an hour, they finally caught up with Liu Yan, who had left first.
The road became more and more rugged as they went forward, making it impassable for carriages. Liu Yan sent more than ten people to explore the road first. He himself and the remaining guards slowed down and walked with Cai Yong's family.
Because the road was rugged and it was late at night, these women and children walked slower and slower. Some women were even frightened by the strange sounds of various birds and animals in the mountains and cried, and by the way, they made the children cry too. He got up and collapsed on the ground unable to walk.
Upon seeing this, Cai Yong was furious. He threw the torch on the ground, pulled out the long knife from the servant's waist and shouted ferociously: "Don't even cry anymore. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are chasing you." Right behind us, we are running for our lives. Get up quickly and hurry up. Who is crying? I will chop her with a knife. Instead of letting you fall into the hands of the rebels and be humiliated, I will chop you and you can remain innocent. "
Needless to say, Cai Yong's move was indeed effective. Everyone was frightened. They didn't dare to breathe and helped each other to get up from the ground.
Everyone continued on their way until the sky turned white before they finally arrived at the foot of Hutou Mountain.
The shape of Hutou Mountain is as its name suggests. The mountain is hundreds of meters high, like a huge tiger head that has been chopped off to the ground. There are cliffs on both sides, and there is only a three-foot-wide path to go up the mountain. Cai Yong sighed: "It's really an escape." What a great place to stay!”
"Lord, with such a dangerous barrier in hand, no matter how the tens of thousands of troops attack, we can hold on for several days without defeat."
Liu Yan said with a smile: "That's not necessary. Yuwen Chengdu defeated Hekou County and passed directly through Hekou County. It can save at least three hundred miles. We can reach here in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at most. We only need to hold on for two days. Xiao question!"
"Lord, let's continue on our way. It's not easy to go up the mountain. My little ones are walking too slowly, so we can't waste any more time."
"good……"
Before Liu Yan finished speaking, a rapid chirping of birds came from the mountain. He who was sitting on the ground suddenly stood up, and his expression changed. He recognized that it was the remote communication code of the Black Dragon Guard.
Liu Yan was inspired by the movie scenes from his previous life. He once asked three thousand secret guards to adapt the Morse code from the previous life to form voice language, sign language, and flag language, which were used to convey orders and communicate between soldiers during war.
Because the Black Dragon Guard is his personal guard, after two years of training, everyone is proficient in three secret languages. Among the other legions, only the messengers and scouts know the secret languages, and they are strictly ordered not to spread them. Violators will be killed.
Although he didn't understand the secret language, he knew something about it. The rapid chirping of birds must mean that the more than ten people in front of him who were responsible for exploring the path were in danger.
Sure enough, when the birdsong ended, the messenger on the side reported: "My lord, the people exploring the mountain have encountered an enemy. The number is currently unknown. A war is going on. The enemy is condescending and we are outnumbered. Please support us."
"Send the order so that they don't have to fight hard and retreat down the mountain."
"Centurion"
Hearing the shout, a guard ran over, knelt down and said, "Here you are!"
Jun Lintian asked him to stand up and asked, "How many Thunderballs are left here now?"
"Back to my lord, there are still three hundred and fourteen pieces left."
"Okay, leave eighty for me, and take the rest with you to support the brothers on the mountain. Let's launch an attack on the mountain together. We must capture this mountain, otherwise we will die without a burial place."
"As you command!"
The centurion took the order and, except for a few messengers, took the remaining dozens of Black Dragon Guards and rushed towards the mountain at full speed.
Liu Yan asked Cai Yong to call all the men in his family over, and each of them was given a thunderbolt: "Everyone, watch out. If an enemy comes over later, you can pull the end of the line and quickly throw the thunderbolt to Enemies, do you understand?"
"Understood"
Those people were extremely curious with their thunder bombs, looking left and right, which made Liu Yan worried. He was afraid that someone would accidentally detonate it, so he shouted loudly: "Be careful with this thing." If you don't pay attention, it will kill all of us. Everyone, please put it on the ground and do not hold it in your hands. When the enemy comes, pick it up to meet the enemy."
As support came in, heart-rending roars and the sound of weapons clashing came from the mountain from time to time.
The birds chirped non-stop, conveying enemy messages one after another!
The messenger next to him translated it into words and conveyed it to Jun Lintian: "Lord, the number of the enemy has been determined, about five thousand."
Cai Yong on the side heard the words and said: "This is strange. This place is far away from the official road and far from the counties and cities. It is impossible for the bandits to occupy the mountain and rob the road with such a large team, let alone choose to stay far away from the official road. Here, it is impossible for the local defenders to choose to set up camp so far away from the city. Where did these thousands of people come from?"
Cai Yong's words were also something Liu Yan couldn't figure out: "No matter who it is, they must capture this place, otherwise we will be in danger."
The battle continued, and Liu Yan looked worried at the mountain.
About a quarter of an hour later, the messenger's face changed drastically: "My lord, someone from the enemy suddenly came out. He should be the leader of the enemy. He is highly skilled in martial arts. The brothers on the mountain are no match. Two of them are already dead. Please evacuate and drag them back, my lord." Live that person.”
At this moment, everyone was looking at Liu Yan. Cai Yong had been urging him to retreat. Everyone was waiting for Liu Yan's order.
"Lao Cai"
"Here, my lord, tell me, what should we do?"
Liu Yan said extremely seriously: "Send an order to have all your family members, including children, cover their eyes with cloth strips. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Lord, what...what does this mean?" Cai Yong was greatly surprised when he heard this, and even thought about whether Liu Yan was going to kill them all.
"I don't have time to talk to you anymore, go quickly!"
"This, well...okay!"
Cai Yong had no choice but to follow the instructions tremblingly. Even if Liu Yan really wanted to kill them, he would admit it.
After Cai Yong left, Liu Yan once again ordered several messengers: "You guys will supervise them. If there are any falsifiers or peepers, kill them."
"As you command!"
Several people took the order and glanced at everyone with compound bows like a god of death. Everyone was trembling with fear and began to quickly pull strips of cloth from their clothes and cover their eyes.
After a while, Cai Yong came to report: "My lord, everything... is covered."
Liu Yan glanced at the people in charge of supervision, and when they nodded, he looked at Cai Yong, who was sweating profusely and shaking, and said, "You should also cover your eyes! And you guys too, please cover your eyes."
"Obey...obey!"
Cai Yong took the order, tremblingly pulled off the strip of cloth from his clothes, looked at the family members who were gathered in a trembling group and cried softly, then closed his eyes and covered his own eyes.
Liu Yan looked around and saw that everyone had covered their eyes to make sure there were no peepers. Then he took out a palm-sized walkie-talkie and said: "Go and capture the enemy leader, and remember not to hurt him." , I still have something to ask him, and let his subordinates see it when I arrest him."
This small walkie-talkie was originally left by the secret guard for him to use for communication.
Liu Yan's secret guards are usually stationed in the forbidden area behind the Peach Blossom Spring, and there are only five people around him for personal protection.
Cai Yong on the side was shocked when he heard Liu Yan's words. He knew clearly that no one else was following him along the way, but Liu Yan was ordering someone to arrest someone and how to keep him from being surprised.
About a quarter of an hour later, five people in black robes came down from Hutou Mountain. These people were completely hidden under the black robes, leaving only a face painted in camouflage.
These people walked up to Liu Yan, one person carried him on his shoulders, and a young man in his twenties wearing a white robe threw him to the ground.
Liu Yan saw that the man's clothes were covered with blood and he was lying motionless on the ground: "Is he dead?"
The man replied: "No, you have to be careful. He is too fierce. Even being shot in the leg did not affect his fight. He was still caught with a tranquilizer gun."
"As long as he's not dead, just take out the bullet from his leg and leave!"
"It's been taken out. Do you want me to leave a pair of handcuffs for you?"
"No need, he can't hurt me!"
After the five people disappeared into the forest, Liu Yan didn't say until he confirmed that they were no longer in sight, "Okay, all of you, please take down the cloth!"
Everyone was ordered to take down the cloth, and Cai Yong also let out a long sigh.
"Commander, send an order to the mountain and ask the brothers to persuade them to surrender. If they continue to fight, kill their leader."
"Follow your orders"
Cai Yong came to Liu Yan's side and glanced at the young man lying motionless on the ground. Liu Yan and the secret guards were far away from them just now, so he didn't hear what they said: "My lord, who is the leader of those people on the mountain?"
"Well, this man is young, has good martial arts skills, and can be considered a hero."
"By the way, Mr. Cai, go and ask your servant to find a rope to tie him up, and call two maids to come over and treat his wounds."
"Follow your orders"
Cai Yong came to the place where the family gathered, turned around and looked at Liu Yan in the distance, his eyes a little complicated.
He immediately ordered: "All of you, please forget about what happened today. If anyone dares to mention it, I will kill him first, even if you are my children and grandchildren."
Seeing everyone nodding, he chose two more attentive maids to leave.
The maids helped the young man get good medicine. The Black Dragon Guards sent news that the fighting on the mountain also stopped. The enemy was shot to death by them, killing seven or eight hundred people, and injured more people. Five Black Dragon Guards died and more than ten people were seriously injured. All the others were injured.
