Chapter 465: Hearsay

Tianhe County has always been a county under the direct control of the Yan King's family, and Jicheng is located in Tianhe County. The people of Tianhe have an arrogance that cannot be compared with other places in Great Yan. Although Luocheng is only a small town on the border between Tianhe County and Langya However, its prosperity is no less than that of the remote Liaoxi city.

Langya, Tianhe was originally the most affluent city in the Yan Kingdom, but compared to other Langyas, Tianhe has never suffered a military disaster. Like Langya County, it has suffered two major wars in the past ten years. The two great families were wiped out in Langya, and Tianhe The people of the world have never suffered like this.

Therefore, the people of Tianhe County are very rich, and what is reflected in the urban architecture are the tall and beautiful houses and the manor covering a huge area. Although it is only a county town, the scale is huge. On the streets, there are rows of The business of the shops here is very good, and the beautiful bluestone streets are spotless.

During this period of time, if it is in the west of Liaoning, most people must have finished their day’s work and are rushing home, with the copper coins earned during the day in their shoulder bags, which will be the family’s meal tomorrow. In Luocheng, however, the streets are full of people walking leisurely and leisurely. At this time, when the lights are on, it is the time when the business of taverns, teahouses, restaurants, and brothels is booming.

The big man walked into a tea shop, chose a table in the corner and sat down, ordered a pot of tea and a plate of fried soybeans, and sat there quietly. In this position, there was a window behind him, and he could sit down at any time. After breaking out of the window, it landed on the busy street outside, and it was very easy to get out, and everything in the teahouse was clear at a glance.

Teahouses are naturally an excellent place to inquire about news. Countless true and false news will fly here. Although Luocheng is only a town on the edge of Tianhe County, the people here also have the habit of talking about the world with pride like the people of Jicheng. It seems that everyone here can give advice. country. Encouraging words.

The big man was holding a teacup, sipping tea slowly, his eyes fixed on the table in front of him, but his ears were carefully sorting out what he wanted from the many high-level and nonsensical remarks.

Some people are talking about General Gao Yuan who conquered the East.

The man was obviously very angry. Say two or three sentences every time. They all patted the table and scolded Gao Yuan, that bastard.

What he said was naturally the official news. General Gao Yuanli of the East Conquest, colluded with the enemy, and killed the army of the Yan State, followed his passionate tone. The people around him also changed their faces angrily, and the table was slapped loudly.

There was a sneer on the corner of the big man's mouth. Master Xun was right. In this world, the right to speak is always in the hands of the superiors. As long as they are willing, black can be white. What is wrong can be said to be right. In order to achieve one's own goals, it is really unscrupulous.

Gaoyuan Litong Donghu? If it is really Tianfang Yetan, I am afraid that only those Tianhe people who have been living in the honeypot will believe it.

In the border town area, the first reaction of those who heard the news was probably to spit on the ground, and then stepped forward to punch these rambunctious fellows.

"I heard that now the imperial court has dispatched a large army to hunt down this traitor, and he won't live long!" Someone said proudly, "Our Tianhe County has also sent a large army to Fufeng in the west of Liaoxi. Even if this traitor can Even if you come back from Donghu people, you can’t escape being stabbed at the end.”

"Master Wan, now that our Dayan army of 100,000 is trapped in Donghu, where did the army come from?" Some people questioned, "We all know that Tianhe County has sent 3,000 soldiers, but I can hear it." That Gao Yuan's army is fierce. Maybe these three thousand people are not opponents?"

The man known as Mr. Wan showed a smug smile on his face, but he didn't talk to him. He picked up the teacup with two fingers and took a small sip, but his eyes were looking at everyone, with a tantalizing look.

"Don't make noise, listen to Mr. Wan, Mr. Wan is in charge of documents in the county mansion, these people are very good, don't they know much better than us?" Someone flattered.

The big man's heart lightened slightly, isn't he just a scribe, and he dares to pretend to be an adult, but this kind of person may really come into contact with some high-level secrets.

"I can't say much else, everyone just needs to know that under the leadership of General Zhou Yu, our Dayan Standing Army has already broken out tens of thousands of people, and is now in Fufeng to conquer Gaoyuan's troops. Part of it." Lord Wan lowered his voice and said.

Hearing this news, the big man's body shook slightly, and he looked at the scribe surnamed Wan with a playful look in his eyes.

After the scribe surnamed Wan said this, he refused to say any more. After the tea guests at the table scolded Gao Yuan for a long time, they all did their own things. The big man stood up, paid the bill, and walked out of the teahouse. Sweeping his eyes left and right, he saw the figure of Wan Shuli from the crowd, and followed him calmly.

Wan Shuli has a lot of face in front of this group of regular old tea friends. He is not an official, let alone an adult. He is just a scribe in the county mansion. Don't underestimate the role of a scribe. Many important information and documents can be seen by such people. Wan Shuli did not have the level to get in touch with high-level secrets such as Zhou Yu's troop deployment, but by chance, when he was in the mansion two days ago, at the desk of his immediate boss, Master Bo, he saw this by accident. The news about Zhou Yu and Tan Feng's dispatch of troops to the grassland, even though he just let it out a little bit today, stunned all the tea lovers, and he was very happy when he saw his eyes became extremely reverent.

He was so happy that his footsteps became sloppy, and in the eyes of these tea friends, he seemed to have become extraordinarily tall. After drinking tea, I don't have to worry about no one will pay the bills. With a small nine in my heart, Wan Shuli hummed a little song and walked leisurely towards his home.

Although Wan Shuli seems to have a lot of face outside, he is really embarrassed at home. With his job as a clerk, a few salaries can't support a large family. Today, he drank a good tea, After eating a lot of snacks, this dinner can be saved.

Walking to the front of his small courtyard, he was about to raise his hand to slap the door knocker, when an arm suddenly stretched out from behind, and with a slight strangle, Wan Shuli's eyes were already white, gold stars were bursting out, and he wanted to shout. Where can there be a little sound. The arm behind him was so powerful that Wan Shuli was dragged to the corner of the temple wall like a chicken. His body was pressed against the wall with a bang, and then he turned half a circle involuntarily. The whole person was turned around, and the arm around his neck left. Wan Shuli immediately opened his mouth wide, mouth wide. Breathing the fresh air, although it was only for a short moment, at that moment, Wan Shuli only felt that he was only a short distance away from death.

With the fresh air in his stomach, Wan Shuli's next move was to open his mouth and shout, not far from here, there are still many pedestrians, as long as he opens his mouth, he can attract the attention of others.

But he just opened his mouth, because there was a slight pain in his stomach, he lowered his head, and saw a sharp dagger pressing against his belly, he might be able to shout out, but the next moment, the dagger will definitely go into the mouth. into his stomach.

The visitor smiled and stared at Wan Shuli, holding a dagger in his right hand against Wan Shuli's stomach, while holding a bank note in his left hand, and slowly passing in front of his eyes, Wan Shuli's eyes lit up immediately. That's one hundred taels of silver bills, and I can't earn that much even if I work for a year.

"Hero, I'm just a small person. If you want to know anything, as long as I know it, I will tell you everything!" Wan Shuli's voice trembled. Seeing the knife and bank note, Wan Shuli immediately understood that the other party was not robbing or seeking revenge, so the reason why the other party came after him was probably because of his identity.

The big man nodded in satisfaction. He is a smart man, so he doesn't need to talk too much.

"You said earlier in the tea shop that Zhou Yu led tens of thousands of people to break out. Is this news true?"

"It's true, it's true. General Zhou Yu led his troops to join General Hu Yanchao to break out of the siege, and they are now in the camp on Niulan Mountain in Fufeng."

"Zhou Yu dispatched troops to the grassland?"

"Yes, yes, it is true that General Zhou Yu led 10,000 troops to the grassland to ambush General Gao Yuan of Zhengdong."

"Then why did Tan Feng send troops into the grassland?"

"Commander Tan sent people to hunt down the rest of Gao Yuan who stayed in Fufeng, but found that General Gao Yuan of Zhengdong built a large-scale city in Jishi Mountain deep in the grassland, where more than 100,000 people gathered, so Commander Tan mobilized The soldiers from Tianhe County and Liaoxi County went to Jishi Mountain, preparing to attack the city in one fell swoop and wipe out the rest of Gaoyuan's troops."

"A new city?" The man was obviously taken aback.

"Yes, it's a new city with a huge scale!" Wan Shuli was shocked when he felt that the knife on his stomach was moving inward. "Hero, spare your life, I've told you everything I know."

The big man was extremely shocked at this moment, how Gao Yuan built a city in the depths of the grassland silently, this is not a camp, the money, manpower, and materials needed are incalculable.

He took a deep breath, "Did you escort some important person into the city today?"

"Yes, the one sent here is Princess Langya, Ye Tiannan, the former Prime Minister of our Great Yan."

"Where is Lord Ye imprisoned now?"

"It's in the posthouse."

"How many guards are there?"

"I don't know. Lord Ye has a different identity. The guard who escorted him was Yan Lingwei, and the entire post house was taken over by Yan Lingwei. My man, I really don't know what's going on inside."

The big man nodded. It is impossible for this scribe to know about Yan Lingwei's affairs. It would be much easier to handle his own affairs if only Yan Lingwei was in charge. If there was Yan Lingwei inside, then some county soldiers would surround him If so, I'm really not sure.

Satisfied, he put away the dagger, and stuffed the bank note into Wan Shuji's arms, "Go home and sleep on your big head. If you want to die, you can report to the officials."

"No, no, no, I dare not report to the officials, I dare not report to the officials!" Wan Shuli shook his head repeatedly.

The big man chuckled, turned around, and disappeared into the distance in two or three steps.
