Xiao Lin and Li Rufeng looked at each other with sadness on their faces.
Although Daxiong said it simply, the two of them could still hear the danger and hardship in it.
Obviously, although Pi Zhan escaped Yanshan's search and escaped with his life, he must have been targeted again later.
He wanted to deliver a message to the capital, and a group of more than ten people set off separately, just to confuse the other party's sight.
Ten people are in the light, and the one with the straightest and stupidest brain is in the dark.
He asked him to enter every flower house in order to confuse those who were following him.
Those who love to enter the flower house will be a drunkard and a womanizer. It is difficult for a drunkard and a womanizer to achieve anything. A drunkard and womanizer who is stupid, restless and loves to cry will not attract the attention of others.
Facts have proved that the Pi Zhan bet paid off.
Those ten people failed to escape the pursuit in the end, and only the stupid Big Bear successfully arrived in the capital.
Big Bear hid this secret letter with flesh and blood, but the secret letter only contained a safety charm and a map of the northern border, and did not say anything.
Presumably, Pi Zhan was afraid that this secret letter would fall into the hands of his enemies, so he conveyed the information to him in such a cryptic way.
The secret he wants to hide must be related to his fourth uncle Xie Feiyu.
And this map is the key to finding Xie Feiyu.
Xiao Lin opened the map and examined it carefully, but found nothing special.
This is a very simple map of the northern border. It is drawn in a rough manner, as if it has been hastily drawn. The place names marked on the map are the same as those on ordinary maps, and there are no special markings.
Li Rufeng looked at it for a long time, also puzzled, and had no choice but to look at Da Xiong again.
"Mother Xiong, think about it carefully, what else did I say before I gave you this picture?"
Da Xiong shook his head: "Just let me take this to the capital and hand it over to His Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't say anything else!"
"Think about it again!" Li Rufeng said unwillingly, "You are always forgetful. Did you miss something important?"
Daxiong became anxious at what he said, and swore: "General Li, I admit that my brain is not very good, but how could I dare to forget such a big thing? Whether Changlin Army can redress its injustice depends on these two things! Even if you make me forget about my mother-in-law, I will never forget what Lao Pi told me!"
"You still say you haven't forgotten?" Li Rufeng snorted, "If I hadn't happened to save you today, you would have become the ghost of Zhang Mingchong, and this letter would not be delivered! You have a heavy responsibility, and you still follow They are just arguing with each other, and while you are arguing with others, you may have already forgotten what you came to the capital for, right?"
Da Xiong blushed at what he said: "What I remember at the time was that they were always scolding me, and I got so angry that I forgot about it! However, when Lao Pi explained the matter to me, there were only two of us, quietly. No one was irritating, I remember correctly! He did not say anything else! General Li, believe me! I really am not that confused!"
"I believe you!" Xiao Lin said, "Lao Pi always acts cautiously. He knows that you are impulsive and reckless. Even the secret message he asked you to send is so cryptic, so he will never leave you any more excuses!"
"Your Highness is wise!" Daxiong nodded vigorously, "That's right! He specifically told me not to talk to others on the road, and to be a mute if I can. I have worked very hard to be a mute!"
"Where were you when we were burying the corpses in the north?" Xiao Lin asked again, "At that time we were everywhere looking for the whereabouts of the hunters, but no one knew about them!"
The hunting army is a special force outside the Changlin Army and is composed of local hunters.
At first, they were only responsible for helping the army collect and bury the bodies of fallen soldiers. Later, they were recruited by him and trained secretly as a special reserve army in case of emergencies.
The hunting army usually does not need to participate in any battles, unless there is some major change, such as when the entire army is destroyed, they need to take action. Usually, their identity in front of outsiders is that of ordinary border residents, and they have no connection with the military camp.
After the news of Changlin's army's defeat reached the capital, he went to the north to bury the body and contacted the hunting army as soon as possible.
However, at the agreed place, the leader of the hunting army, Pi Zhan, did not appear, and there was no news about the three hundred hunting troops under his command.
These three hundred hunting troops, including Pi Zhan, were carefully selected and trained by him.
A rare army raised, these people are loyal. Even if someone sees that Lin Jun has lost power and rebels, Pi Zhan, as the leader, will never betray him.
Unless, they collectively encountered an accident!
This guess was quickly confirmed by Big Bear.
"Lao Pi was very happy when the army won the victory. He sent Zhu Zhu and I back to report the good news, while I took the rest of the hunting army to Huashan!"
"There are many strange beasts in Huashan Mountain. He said he wanted to hunt some game to celebrate the victory of the Changlin Army! But after entering the mountain, they were ambushed by masked men. Nearly three hundred people in the hunting army were killed. Only he was lucky. Survive!"
"After that group of masked men killed the people and counted the bodies, they found that he was missing and started searching the mountain again. After searching for half a month, he stayed in a small mountain col for half a month. He didn't sneak out until they left!"
"Sure enough, something happened!" Xiao Lin lowered his eyelids to hide the pain in his heart. He paused and asked, "Did Lao Pi tell you where he got the flying general's jade pendant?"
"I don't know!" Da Xiong shook his head. "Lao Pi only told me about his own affairs and didn't mention the flying general! Mainly because he couldn't tell me at that time! After Zhu Zhu and I went back, I had already waited for him to disappear. The army returned to camp, and later heard that Changlin's army was defeated, so they ran back to Yanshan to investigate. They happened to bump into Qi's army. Zhuzhu came up to talk to them, but they were about to kill them with their swords drawn. I had a stomachache at the time, so I hid in the grass and came out before I could do it. When I stepped forward, I heard the screams of the pillars. I knew something was wrong, so I dared to go back. I thought about going back to find Lao Pi, but halfway there, I met a group of Chongqing soldiers. They kidnapped me without saying anything. I worked hard there for a month before I found an opportunity to escape!"
"Da Yu soldiers?" Li Rufeng was shocked, "But at that time, why were there still Da Yu soldiers in Yanshan?"
"I don't know!" Daxiong cried sadly, "But they were indeed wearing the military uniforms of the Chongqing soldiers! After I was taken to the camp, I was surrounded by Chongqing soldiers! The military uniforms they wore, the flags they held, and the barracks they lived in were all... It says Dayu! Even though I don’t know a few words, I can still recognize their circles!”
"This is really unbelievable!" Li Rufeng looked at Xiao Lin, "The battle was over by then, and the Qi army had taken over the military camp. Qi Zheng, that bastard, didn't he know that there were Chongqing soldiers hanging around in front of his house? The Chongqing soldiers only captured strong men, not A sneak attack on his military camp? What on earth is going on?"
Xiao Lin didn't answer, his eyes hovered uncertainly on the map and jade pendant. Unfortunately, after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason.
Li Rufeng was so anxious that he scratched his head: "Oh, what on earth does this old man want to do? He traveled thousands of miles to the capital, risked his life, worked so hard, and finally delivered something that is confusing!"
