Riding the Pheonix Chapter 404: Action

Heipao rode on horseback and followed Yang Shu and his party to the high ground.

We encountered several waves of resistance on the way, but they were all repelled. The high ground was getting closer and closer.

It is getting late and the sun is setting in the west.

Yang Shu raised his head and ordered to stop.

A Xuan asked for instructions: "Master, the Zong family is familiar with the terrain. Although we are two hours behind us, we have probably reached the high ground. Should we rest for a night before taking action?"

Heipao heard this and looked at Yang Shu nervously.

Yang Shu shook his head: "The meaning of these two hours is that Zong Rui has no time to plan. If we rest for one night, our advantage will be gone."

Hearing this, Heipao felt relieved and said with a smile: "Young master is right. The Zong family has guarded the northwest for generations. They are too familiar with this mountain and wilderness. We are destined to be at a disadvantage. It is a good idea to take advantage of the darkness to act. They also stayed in the dark and restricted their movements."

Yang Shu nodded and told Ah Xuan: "Rest on the spot and eat and drink quickly. Lao Fang and others will go out to explore the road and take action at nightfall."

"Yes."

While waiting, the black robe followed Yang Shu closely and talked to him: "Young Master is really confident and methodical. Compared with the others in Beijing, he is much better. It can be seen that the destiny belongs to Young Master."

Yang Shu was very restrained, but couldn't help but show a bit of complacency and said, "Jiang Sheng has hated me since he was a child, but incompetence is incompetence. No matter how jealous he is, he can't change the facts."

The black robe sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found out about this and was very relieved."

These words made Yang Shu's expression darken.

After a while, he asked: "Mr. Lin, what was it like before... when they were still here?"

Seeing the look of yearning on his face, the black robe sighed: "In the blink of an eye, it has been twenty years. His Royal Highness is generous and magnanimous, knows right from wrong, acts decisively, and is kind and gentle to us. Now that I think back to that time The days in the East Palace were really happy..."

"What kind of existence is the Qingyun Club you are talking about? Are all the members as talented as Mr. Wang?"

Disdain flashed through Black Robe's heart, and he thought to himself, that position is really attractive. He ignored his father and ancestors and focused on asking about the situation of Qingyun Society. He couldn't wait to recruit talents!

That’s right. Isn’t it true that I am sure that he is in an embarrassing situation and urgently needs manpower, so I set up this plan? Isn’t it expected that he will not be too suspicious?

But with a humble smile on his face: "We come from all over the world, and there are many strangers among us. Mountain people have mediocre talents. Compared with other community members, we can only be regarded as the last ones."

"Oh?" Yang Shu's eyes lit up, and then he became a little worried, "Are they really willing to follow me?"

"This is natural." Black Robe vowed, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been so kind to us, but we have not been able to repay him. Now that we know that the Young Master is alive, how can we not follow him?"

"How many people can the gentleman contact?"

The black robe muttered: "There are four or five people who have close contact with me. But don't worry, young master, the remaining people thought that His Highness the Crown Prince had died, so they left in despair. As long as the mountain people gather, they will soon meet with the young master. If you contact us, you can gather more than a dozen people with just a few words."

Yang Shu looked very pleased: "That's good, I also have some confidence."

He kept chatting with the black robe and ignored others.

Ning Xiu was still sitting next to him at first, but he became bored while listening and got up to look around. Yang Shu ignored him. Heipao thought he was being ignored and was not angry, so he just smiled secretly.

Ning Xiu finally chose a relatively far place, took off his guqin, and started playing it gently.

Several sounds came out, and after a while, his ears moved and he heard a faint chirping sound.

This is a note blown from tree leaves.

Ning Xiu dialed back a few tunes, and the two sides secretly exchanged a round of information.

Night finally fell.

After the Yang family members had finished resting, they removed the tip of their spear, wrapped the blade in thick cloth, and mounted their horses again.

The scouts reported that Zong Rui's men had deployed defenses around the high ground. They wanted to seize the high ground at night and would fight Zong Rui's men head-on.

This is a martial arts exercise, not a real **** fight, so the blades and spear points must be well protected.

Before Yang Shu mounted his horse, he said to the black robe: "Mr. Lin, please stay here. When I kill you, I will send out the signal. At that time, you can order the dead soldiers and we will capture Zong Rui alive. In this way, Only then can we negotiate terms with Zong Xu."

The black robe cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Young Master, the mountain people have made arrangements. We are just waiting for the Young Master's order."

Yang Shu nodded and said to Ning Xiu: "Brother, your martial arts are not suitable for fighting on the battlefield. It is better to stay and protect Mr. Lin."

Ning Xiu frowned: "I won't stay by your side, if something happens..."

"Don't worry, there are so many people!" He winked.

Ning Xiu glanced at the black robe and nodded reluctantly: "Okay."

After arranging these things, Yang Shu picked up the reins and ordered: "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The generals of the Yang family marched towards the high ground under the cover of night.

Sending Yang Shu away, the black robe stretched out his hand to Ning Xiu: "Brother Ning, let's wait here for the news of the young master's victory!"

Ning Xiu nodded casually and sat down on a stone with him.

The black robe took out the wine bag and handed it to Ning Xiu: "It's cold, warm yourself up."

"Thank you." Ning Xiu took the wine bag but did not drink it.

Seeing his alert look, Hei Pao understood clearly and said, "Brother Ning seems to be very unwelcome to me!"

Ning Xiu held the wine bag and said nothing.

Heipao asked again: "Do you feel that the arrival of the mountain man has taken away the young master's trust?"

After a while~IndoMTL.com~Ning Xiu said: "I don't know what your intention is in bewitching him like this. Now that the world is peaceful, his background is unknown, and he has no manpower, how can he fight for that position? Are you calling him Go to the road of death."

Heipao said: "Brother Ning's words are unjust. The mountain man can encourage the young master because the young master has already made up his mind. Besides, he is already in an embarrassing situation. If he doesn't take the initiative, is he waiting to die?"

Ning Xiu said coldly: "Why are you waiting to die? He is so good, the emperor did not want his life."

"If you don't want me now, it doesn't mean you won't want me in the future." Heipao continued, "Look, how eager has the young master been to me since we met? What you hope for is not what the young master wants."

Ning Xiu said angrily: "Are you asking me to help him rebel?"

Heipao stroked his beard confidently: "Brother Ning made a mistake. You just can't help with this matter. If you stay with the young master, you may be able to serve as a guard, but you won't be able to use anything else. ”

Ning Xiu was so angry that his eyes were on fire: "What do you mean?"

"That's what Shan Ren means." Hei Pao smiled, "If you don't believe it, Brother Ning will wait and see tonight. When I help the young master capture Zong Rui and subdue the clan, we will know who is most useful to the young master."

"you"

He was furious, but the black robe remained unmoved.

Ning Xiu finally said coldly: "Okay! I'll just wait and see if you can succeed!"

The black robe smiled confidently.

The two waited for a while, listening to the sounds of killing in the darkness.

Not long after, a firework flew into the air.

The black robe took out a whistle and blew it. Immediately, a man in gray approached quickly and obeyed the order.

"Go, it's time to take action!" he said meaningfully.
