Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 247
c247 If the enemy doesn’t come, I will come
In the Wu Kingdom camp.
The torches illuminated the mountains and forests.
Dao Mo and Li Rui both went out and had not returned yet, so except for the soldiers who were keeping watch at night, the other soldiers got into the tent and went to bed early.
At this time.
The curtain of a tent was opened.
A capable young man walked out shivering.
When the soldier on guard night saw the young man, he laughed and cursed: “Are you going to release water again?”
“I can’t hold it in any longer.”
“Roll, roll, roll.”
The soldiers on guard night waved their hands in disgust.
The young man trotted into the forest, looking back from time to time.
He ran for a long time.
It wasn’t until he couldn’t see the Wu Kingdom’s army camp anymore that he slowed down, lowered his head and searched for it on the ground, and then let out a light sigh: “No, it was obviously still here yesterday.”
As he groped for it.
Suddenly a voice came: “Is this what you are looking for?”
“Who is it?!”
The young Wu countryman suddenly raised his head.
He saw an old man holding a piece of bark and looking at him with a half-smile.
“Master Li Li??”
When he saw the old man’s face clearly, the young Wu man was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and stepped back, his eyes flickering as if he was looking for something.
He forced a smile out of his mouth: “Master Li, why are you back?”
Li Rui: “Why, I came back at a bad time?”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Just when the young man was about to speak, an angry shout sounded from behind him: “You are a bastard!”
Dao Mo kicked the young man to the ground and hit him with a wheel several times before finally hitting a tree and stopping.
Instantly.
Several torches lit up, and the entire forest was illuminated with flames.
The young man’s eyes widened and he looked at Dao Mo who suddenly appeared in disbelief.
Let’s look at the current situation.
It was clearly a trap that had already been set!
“Fuck, I fell into a trap.”
Deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
In the valley, in a forest that was the same as anywhere in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, more than a dozen people were sitting quietly.
“You, go see if there is any message left.”
Qi Rui said to a Qi clan member.
“yes!”
Then I saw three or four young people standing up and heading into the forest.
It was almost a nightly routine.
It was precisely to get back the news that should be left in the Daomo military camp.
It was by relying on this information that they were able to sneak away hundreds of people in Daomo with ease.
The Qi family already had considerable influence in the military. Although the new emperor and the great witch had been purged once, there were still many spies who were difficult to uncover.
Soon, calm returned to the camp again.
Qi Rui was fiddling with the bonfire with an expressionless face, sparks rising from time to time, thoughtfully.
“Why do you always feel uneasy?”
He frowned slightly, then comforted himself.
‘This is a mountain of 100,000 mountains, and there is an internal response. It is impossible for them to discover this place. ’
Qi Rui quickly thought about another thing.
“Jiang Linxian Li Rui”
yesterday.
He has received news that the Qi family will send experts to deal with Jiang Linxian.
It was even an edict issued by the Queen Mother herself.
The Queen Mother was naturally the former emperor’s noble concubine Qi. Qi supported her son as emperor, and she naturally became the Queen Mother. It was she who finally gave Qi the hope of restoring the country.
Therefore, the former imperial concubine, now the Queen Mother, has a very high status in the Qi family, and what she says carries great weight.
‘What exactly is the Ghost Sect going to do? ’
Yuan Gao didn’t say anything, but it could alarm the Queen Mother, so the matter must not be simple.
“That’s all.”
“It’s useless to think about it.”
Qi Rui’s mind became active.
He definitely can’t defeat Jiang Linxian, but he can’t defeat Jiang Linxian, but Li Rui still has some chances, especially now that Li Rui is in the Wu Kingdom.
It’s an excellent opportunity to get started.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was making some kind of decision.
“Dry!”
Qi Rui gritted his teeth and said to a confidant beside him: “Tomorrow, you go to Barbarian Bone City and bring more people.”
“Bringing someone with you?”
The middle-aged man on the side was stunned.
Aren’t they here for a sneak attack?
The more people there are, the greater the risk of exposure.
Qi Rui: “Just do as I say.”
Since Jiang Linxian and Li Rui are both wanted by the Queen Mother, why not take action in advance, so that they can gain a lot of credit.
Just hold Dao Mo back.
Obtaining a sixth grade is a piece of cake.
If the official surnamed Li is presented in advance when the time comes, he will definitely be appreciated by the Queen Mother.
While Qi Rui was thinking.
Suddenly, there were several muffled groans in the forest.
“What’s going on?”
Qi Rui suddenly became alert and stood up.
Almost at the same time, the horse thieves formed a circle, wrapping Qi Rui in the center. The discipline was beyond the capabilities of thieves.
The next moment.
Bang!
Several people were kicked into the team like sandbags.
Take a closer look.
It was the young people from the Qi family who had been arranged by Qi Rui to report the news.
“This is.”
Qi Rui looked down at his men, his pupils dilated slightly, and then he looked up.
Then he saw Dao Mo walking out with a murderous look on his face.
Not only that.
The surrounding torches were raised one after another, lighting up the mountain forest red almost instantly.
They are surrounded!
“Dao Mo.”
Qi Rui spat out word for word.
Dao Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Rui: “I know which group of horse thieves they are. It turns out they are Qi family rebels.”
Qi Rui sneered: “Rebels? I think you are the ones.”
Dao Mo was not interested in arguing with Qi Rui.
He raised his hand.
“Fuck me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the shouts of killing were loud.
The sounds of weapons clashing and roaring were endless.
Dao Mo held the knife in his hand and grinned: “Come on, Qi Rui, let me see if you have improved over the years. Don’t die of old age before I beat you to death.”
Qi Rui snorted coldly: “Young students, please don’t be too arrogant!”
In an instant, both of them turned into shadows and collided together.
There were flashes of swords and shadows, and it was hard to separate them from each other.
Half an hour later.
Under the light of torches, the mountains and forests were strewn with corpses.
Dao Mo was directing his men to clean up the battlefield.
“Brother Dao, can you kill the leader of the thieves?”
At this time.
Li Rui came over with Tan Hu and several other Benhu riders, very relaxed.
Everything happened in the Witch Kingdom.
He is here to help investigate the case, and of course he cannot lead his brothers to fight in a foreign country.
That doesn’t make sense.
So they waited outside until they could no longer hear the sound of weapons being used, and then they showed up.
Dao Mo saw that it was Li Rui and the others and smiled: “Qi Rui, that old loach does have some skills, so I told him to escape.”
Then he added: “Kill everyone except him.”
His eyes sparkled with excitement.
Not only because he had just experienced a fierce battle, but also because he had made great achievements.
The new emperor of the Wu Kingdom has long regarded the Qi clan as evil spirits. Now that he has killed many Qi clan members, the new emperor will surely be satisfied.
Li Rui cupped his fists and said, “Congratulations to Brother Dao.”
“It’s all thanks to my great skill that I was able to find this old thief’s lair. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to kill them and catch them off guard.”
Dao Mo waved his hands repeatedly.
Every word is sincere.
Although I don’t know what method Li Rui used, he just walked on the mountain road for a few days, and then inexplicably found the spies placed by the Qi family in his army, and even found Qi Rui’s camp in one fell swoop.
This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
That’s how easy it is to win.
Li Rui: “It’s just a little trick, I still have to rely on my martial arts skills.”
Dao Mo laughed loudly: “Let’s stop flattering each other. Let’s go. This place is not far from Wubei City. Let’s go have a drink together, brother?”
Li Rui: “It is better to obey orders than to be respectful.”
If it were somewhere else, he would probably have to consider it.
After all, he was still the Simao Lieutenant of Yu State, so it was somewhat inappropriate to appear in the city of Wu State.
But Wubeicheng is an exception.
Wubeicheng, like Qinghe, is the port of Yu State.
While the two were talking.
A soldier from the Wu Kingdom came forward holding something: “Master Dao, I found a token. What is written on it?”
Both Dao Mo and Li Rui’s eyes fell on the things in the hands of the Wu Kingdom soldiers.
It is a token made of red copper, with a vigorous and powerful word engraved on it.
“This is.”
Dao Mo took the token and studied every clue for a long time.
What is it?
He thought to himself that his experience in the Wu Kingdom was pretty good, but he couldn’t help but read the words on the token.
Li Rui looked at the token and narrowed his eyes slightly.
‘It’s Yu! ’
Yes, that token is clearly a trade access token issued by the Yu State government.
As a captain of the Simao School, he had a lot of contact with them, so he naturally recognized them at a glance.
“It’s the Yu State’s token to leave the city.”
Hearing Li Rui’s words, Dao Mo was a little surprised: “These Qi family members are quite capable and can get this thing. Brother Li needs to be careful, I’m afraid they also have spies in Qinghe.”
spy?
More than just a spy!
The Qi family in southern Xinjiang and the Guiming Sect are colluding with each other, and Zhuang Ren and the head of this county are rebels.
Li Rui thought of a lot at once.
He even thought of the mysterious caravan that appeared outside Qinghe City on the day the mutual market opened.
If my guess is correct, it should be the group of people in front of me.
Qi Ruina is a fifth-grade master!
If they had rushed down the mountain recklessly, they would have suffered heavy casualties.
The reason why Qi Rui and his gang were able to appear swaggeringly outside the city was because they had the token given by Zhuang Renhe.
He figured out many things in an instant.
“Brother Dao, can you give me this token?”
Dao Mo chuckled: “Brother Li wants it, just take it, it’s useless if I keep it anyway.”
With that said, he handed the token to Li Rui.
After a while.
The battlefield was cleaned up, and the bodies of these Qi clan members were regarded as military achievements and carried down the mountain one by one.
It’s dawn.
Dao Mo and Li Rui finally appeared under a majestic city.
Green moss covered the mottled walls, and the weight of history hit our faces. A group of people walked into Wubei City on horseback.
Li Rui looked at the nearby city wall.
Feeling emotional.
Wubei City has existed for ten thousand years and has a longer history than any other city in Yunzhou.
If it weren’t for the sudden death of the old Witch King, the strength of the Witch Kingdom would still be quite terrifying.
The styles of Wubei City and Yunzhou City are very different. The clusters of golden domes almost blinded Li Rui’s eyes. Large banana leaves are dotted in every corner of the city. The streets are wide and unique.
Most of the people of the Wu Kingdom on the road wore linen clothes, which were no different from those of the Yu Kingdom.
It is a stereotype that people from the Wu Kingdom wear animal robes and drink blood.
Those who can wear animal robes in the Wu Kingdom are actually nobles.
Do you think it’s just a matter of making excuses?
No!
The best is tiger skin or mink skin, and it also needs to be tailor-made and sewn with good craftsmanship.
Ordinary people simply cannot afford to wear them.
“There are still many interesting places in Wu Beicheng, especially the women of our Wu clan.”
Dao Mo chuckled.
Li Rui coughed lightly: “Definitely next time.”
The people Dao Mo brought with him went to the city lord’s mansion first, while Dao Mo took Li Rui and several tiger riders to a spacious courtyard with a golden roof.
“Serve the wine!”
There must be wine there.
After a while, a group of Wu women wearing only a few pieces of silver-embellished cloth, with large areas of healthy wheat-colored skin exposed, ran over happily like birds and swallows.
Tan Hu and others’ eyes widened when they saw it.
The dance of the Wu tribe is passionate and unrestrained, a bit more lively than the dancers of the Yu country.
“Very pretty.”
Li Rui said with a critical eye.
He and Dao Mo were drinking and chatting.
The wine was very strange today. As they continued to drink, there were originally more than a dozen people in the courtyard, but now there were only two of them left, and even the dancers on the stage were missing.
Dao Mo chuckled: “Brother, I saved the best for you.”
Li Rui chuckled: “Brother Dao, don’t you want to keep it to yourself?”
Dao Mo was a little embarrassed: “My wife is strict, forget it, everything will be fine for the family and the family.”
Li Rui: “I don’t need it either.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
“Drink, drink.”
Dao Mo: “The city lord of Wubei City is my good brother. Brother Li comes here and takes whatever he likes without paying.”
Li Rui leaned back slightly.
This is so domineering!
He has understood the structure of Wu Kingdom.
Unlike the Yu State, the Wu State did not have a state or county system, but was managed by the city lords of each city. Taxes, etc. were also collected by the city lords and then partially handed over to the court.
Therefore, the power of each city lord is much greater than that of the county magistrate.
Each has its own pros and cons and cannot be judged from a single perspective.
Li Rui: “My brother’s words are domineering, so it’s better for me to be respectful than to obey.”
Dao Mo smiled proudly.
If it were anyone else, he really wouldn’t dare to say that. If he really took something extraordinary, he would have to give it back when the time comes, which would be embarrassing for both parties.
But Li Rui did things in a measured way, and he was relieved.
The next day.
Li Rui sat up from the large room with a radius of twenty feet.
“It’s better to be smaller.”
He muttered.
The small room gathers energy and makes sleeping more comfortable. Now it is really not suitable for him to sleep in a small square.
Exit the great room.
Several girls from the Wu tribe came up to help him change clothes and wash up.
The life of the upper class.
After Li Rui washed up, he walked out of the huge manor without the girl continuing to serve him.
Before Wu Beicheng was the important city of Wu State, with many shops, it was even more prosperous than Qinghe after the new city was built.
Li Rui didn’t look out of place when walking on the street.
The currency of both countries is gold and silver.
When Li Rui saw something he liked, he bought it.
Dao Mo said that he didn’t have to spend money to buy things, but for a few scraps of silver, it was too low for a dignified sixth-grade official like him to take advantage of it.
Just as he was passing by a stall.
Stopped.
“Ambergris?”
